The knight's spear swept across the swords of the five black spirits, knocking them back several meters and fanning them forward; The blades of several swords were damaged in different ways, but they quickly recovered under the effect of black qi.

The sturdiness of the black spirit's body far surpassed that of ordinary undead, and the concussion just now did not cause any damage, they howled and swung their swords again and rushed forward, at this time, the horse's front hooves slammed up, and they stepped vigorously on the ground, and a shock wave burst out from under the horse's hooves, forcing the black spirits' momentum to stop.

The knight on horseback raised his spear high and threw it into the ground like a sledgehammer, the earth exploding at the tip of the spear like a volcanic eruption, and a strong current of air mixed with rubble squirted the black spirits into the air.

"Pong! Disheveled! ……”

The five black spirits fell to the ground far away, and the attack just now made it impossible for them to get up from the ground immediately, and the knight silently pointed his spear straight ahead, and the dark golden light flashed|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|, penetrating the chest of a black spirit.

The light was not corporeal, but it was more terrifying than any attack, and a large hole appeared in the black spirit's indestructible body, and the force of the impact pushed it all the way far, dragging a long trail on the ground.

"Tom!"

The knight steered the black horse and leaped into the air.

The light of the spear flashed continuously, and the other four black spirits suffered heavy losses at the same time, all of them were nailed to the ground by the dark golden light, lying there unable to move, and the mouth filled with poisonous gas let out an unwilling scream.

"Click, click, click......"

The sound of horses' hooves slowly approached the nearest black spirit, and spears pointed at its head.

The undead on the ground did not let go of the sword in their hand, and raised their arms and swung their swords at the horse's legs.

But after a soft snort, its body was pierced by the spear again, and it sank completely into the earth.

The sharp spear began to stab at the black spirit's body, and the cracking of bones rang out one after another, until it was so full of holes that the knight put away his spear and turned his horse's head towards the other black spirit.

The lich stretched out his bone staff diagonally, and the immobile black spirit was covered in a blue light before disappearing from the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped.

The knight jerked his head up, his dark face focused on the lich in the distance.

When it saw the enemy, it raised its spear and unleashed that invincible stabbing blow from a distance.

Sensing the danger, the Lich Fernanxi immediately followed his master's orders and fled the battlefield by teleporting.

The golden light faded through the air, and the knight lowered his spear and rode over to the four enemies, only to see their bodies swallowed up by the void, leaving a few humanoid dents on the muddy ground.

The black horse let out a long neigh, as if to declare another victory, and as if furious at the enemy's flight.

The knight sat quietly on horseback, watching the direction in which the lich had disappeared, and turned around with his spear and walked down the mountain.

When he came to the blackened round ground, the black horse shook his head angrily, and his body emitted a purple-black light, but after a long time, there was no movement on the ground.

It snorted a few times and looked back at the knight.

The knight stared silently at the unchanging ground beneath his feet, and sat there in a daze, as if he had thought of some haunting past, and fell into a long contemplation.

……

"Master!"

"Chirp-!"

When Xia sat up from the ground, the little Lori in black and a big white bird made a surprise sound at the same time.

"Yo, you're awake, Miss Demon."

Maurius put down the black knife he was carrying on his shoulder and greeted her.

Then he looked at the little Lori in black and the white bird and said:

"These two little guys won't let me get close to you anyway, so I'll just watch from the sidelines, you won't blame me, will you?"

"It's okay, thank you."

Xia touched her stinging head and said, and hugged the little Lori in black who kept falling tears into her arms:

"Thanks to you this time, I would have died a long time ago."

"The host...... Woo......"

The little Lori in black buried her head in her chest, hugged her with her small arms, and squeezed out a few words without crying.

"Chirp-!"

The white bird flapped its wings and spun around in a dancing circle, as if to celebrate her safety.

"This is the chirp you healed it, master."

The little Lori in black lay on Xia's chest for a while, straightened up and said:

"Finally you passed out in the air, and it was it that rushed into the rain and carried you on your back, or I would have to use the Light of Career Change again."

Because it involves the secrets of the master and the system, she said these words to Xia in her mind.

"Chirp birds?"

Xia rubbed his temples and said:

"What a weird name."

The little Lori in black hugged her waist and explained the origin of the bird to the master:

"It is a magical beast known as the 'Land Light', although it is a bird, it can't fly, it has a high resistance to magic, and it has a talent for resisting mental attacks, but it is a physical attack type in itself, and its strength can only be regarded as medium among magical beasts."

"No wonder it rushed into the rain to save me."

Natsu looked at the big white bird, which was actually just a young bird, and felt pity in his heart.

"Come here."

She beckoned to Shiratori.

The white bird swayed like a duck to her side, bowing his head and pecking at her hand, which was its way of showing affection.

Natsu touched the top of its wet head and found that its forehead was surprisingly hot.

"It seems to be sick, master, and it's been swaying all the time."

The little Lori in black said on the side.

"Birds are animals with a constant body temperature, roughly the same as the body temperature of humans, and this temperature is definitely abnormal."

Xia reached out and touched the white bird's body, and found that it was skinny, and then pressed its stomach with his hand, there was no food in it, I am afraid that it had hardly eaten anything in the time it had been with him.

"I just didn't want to see it continue to suffer, so I destroyed the magic cage that held it, and thought it would escape far away, but I didn't expect it to follow me for more than two weeks."

She sadly stroked the young bird, which had lost its parents since childhood, and asked the black-clothed little Lori for dried meat and fruits, and fed it with her own hands.

However, although this bird is a monster, it is the type that does not eat meat, but happily swallows the few fruits, and the dried meat does not move at all.

"Take out some of our leftover wild vegetables and fruits and give it too much, it hasn't eaten for a long time, so its stomach won't be able to stand it."

Xia said to the little Lori in black.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Maurius coughed twice next to him against the wall:

"That...... Actually, I haven't eaten in a long time......"

"Whoosh."

Natsu threw the two pieces of jerky that the white bird didn't eat.

“…… All right. ”

Uncle Black Knife took the jerky, put it in his mouth and took a bite, sighed and said:

"I knew that...... I've never been like an animal in a woman's eyes, and that was the case twenty years ago. ”

"Don't say those strange things, although you didn't fight this time, you helped me successfully find the Black Calamity."

There was a little depression in Xia's tone:

"Anyway, I want to thank you for helping guide the way, and don't mention anything about paying off debts in the future, in fact, if you think about it, you don't owe me anything at all."

"Ugh."

Maurius put down the jerky in his hand, touched his head and said:

"Although I don't know what you're doing with the Black Calamity, that thing can't be dealt with by one or two continent powerhouses...... No, not even more people, because we simply can't do effective harm to it. ”

He pointed to the black knife leaning aside:

"Not a single blow of my might broke its armor, nor did the sorcerers and paladins; The most they could do was weaken its power, and no attacks, including radiant weapons and divine spells, actually hurt the Black Calamity, not even the horse under its crotch, this man was a nightmare for the entire continent. ”

Maurius...... Are you sure that the Black Calamity was once human? ”

Xia pondered the title he had just called:

"There are also knights in the orcs and the dark race, and they tend to be stronger, why can't it be an alien race?"

"Because only in the history of mankind is there a detailed record of it." Maurius recalled:

"The orcs call it a scourge as a punishment from the gods, and no orc thinks that knight is one of their kind."

"Master, I actually found something that you may not have noticed."

The little Lori in black whispered:

"Behind the knight, there was a woman lying on her stomach all the time."

Woman?

Xia frowned:

She really didn't notice it.

Or rather, she couldn't see anything behind the knight at all, because she only saw the front of the knight.

"Maurius, you said you didn't fight it head-on, but you slashed it, so did you see anything else on it?"

She asked Uncle Black Knife.

"Anything else?"

Maurius looked a little surprised:

"It's just a lonely knight and a dark horse, and nothing else."

"He didn't seem to see the woman."

Natsu determined one thing in his mind.

"Stephanie, tell me more about that woman."

"Her body was transparent, with a faint hint of gold in its outline."

The little Lori in black put a finger against her mouth and said:

"Just as I usually lie on my master's back, she also wraps her arms around the knight's neck......"

Something suddenly occurred to her:

"By the way, master, when that knight shines with that dark golden light with his spear, that woman's transparent body will glow! It's like supporting a knight. ”

Listening to her words, Xia faintly grasped something in his heart.

"Miss Demon, we don't seem to have any water."

Uncle Black Knife squatted on the ground and looked at the empty bucket:

"You can't drink that rain, you see......"

Xia casually condensed a water balloon and threw it into the bucket accurately.

"I'd like to learn magic if I could."

Maurius picked up the bucket, looked at the clear water inside, and said:

"It's a pity that I don't have talent, and I'm not a woman......"

"What did you say?"

Natsu suddenly shouted.

"I, I don't mean anything else!"

Maurius Den became nervous:

"I'm not saying that only women learn magic, aren't there still many powerful male mages on the continent......"

"I'm sorry, I'm not questioning you, but I've thought of something."

Summer's red pupils shone brightly:

"Do you remember the ancient sacrifice you used to talk about?"

She stood up from the ground:

"They drown their sins with rain and redeem their lives with prayer - but then the profession disappeared with the Eternal Kingdom of Windini, isn't that what they say?"

"That's right, you're trying to ......"

Maurius seemed to understand what she meant: "What is the connection between the Tempest Sacrifice that has disappeared and that terrible knight?" ”

"Can you tell me the details of the Eternal Kingdom? Maurius. ”

Although he knew that this was probably just his own imagination, Xia decided to figure this issue out.

But Uncle Black Knife's answer disappointed her:

"No, I just know that there is such a kingdom."

The other party replied with regret on his face:

"There may be a record of where else to find an account of the origin of the Eternal Kingdom, but its disappearance is a great mystery, and countless historians and magicians have tried to find the answer, but in the end none of them have been able to convince anyone."

"However, I personally feel that the disappearance of the Eternal Kingdom is likely to be related to the deep sea demons."

Maurius touched his stubble and said a name that Natsu had heard. R1152
