"Gaunt!" Reinhardt rolled on the spot, defusing the impact of the landing, and was about to rush back inside with his long sword, facing the corpse witch with Gaunt.

"Reinhardt, don't go back!" Professor Pacien had just turned out of the cave and was about to turn around and pull Annabella from behind, but when he saw that Reinhardt was going back to fight the corpse witch again, he couldn't help but shout, "Gaunt...... Gaunt: He's dead!"

"No, he's not dead, I'm going back to fight with him!" Reinhardt looked like he didn't listen to the advice at all, and walked towards the maze without looking back.

Seeing that persuasion had failed, Professor Pacien gave Annabella a wink, suggesting that she help.

Annabella understood, but she knew Reinhardt's temperament, he had been hit hard by the deaths of two close comrades, and he would never listen to anyone now—but she still had to try, she couldn't watch Reinhardt die.

She trotted two steps, hugged Reinhardt from behind, and rested her head on Reinhardt's shoulder, "Don't go, okay?"

Reinhardt's body stiffened, but he still gritted his teeth, "I can't let Gaunt break alone, you go first, I save Gaunt and will catch up with you." ”

"Don't go......" Annabella gave up reasoning with Reinhardt, reasoning with a person who has lost his mind is one of the most unreasonable things in the world, she just tries to use the relationship between the two to get Reinhardt to stay.

Reinhardt was silent for a while, and finally said firmly, "Let go of me, I'm going to save Gaunt." ”

Annabella opened her mouth as if to say something, but Faust, who had been watching from the sidelines, waved her hand and signaled that she didn't need to say any more.

Faust walked up to Reinhardt and whispered, "Reinhardt." ”

Reinhardt subconsciously looked up, and what caught his eye was Faust's glittering eyes.

Faust looked at Reinhardt, who looked sluggish, sighed softly, raised his right hand, and put it on Reinhardt's eyes, "Sleep." ”

Annabella behind Reinhardt felt Reinhardt's sudden relaxation, and hurriedly grabbed him to prevent him from falling to the ground, her eyes were full of tiredness, and she nodded to Faust, "Thank you, Mr. Faustus." ”

Faust replied that although he was not a good man, he was not to the point of being unreasonable, and he had the same compassion and empathy that ordinary people have—but he could not be disturbed by it at critical moments. But on such occasions where fundamental interests are not involved, he will not deliberately suppress his emotions.

He dusted off the dirt from his body, grabbed the branch at the edge of the hole, flipped it to the ground, and then stretched out his hand towards Annabell, "Let's go up first." ”

Annabella struggled to pick up Reinhardt, who had fallen into a coma, and pushed him out of the cave, and Faust pulled Reinhardt to the ground.

He casually placed Reinhardt flat on the edge of the cave and stretched out his hand to Annabelle again, "It's up to you." ”

Annabella smiled reluctantly and took Faust's outstretched hand.

When Faust had brought Annabella up, he straightened up and looked around, and this was no longer the hole they had come into, so he called old Hama and asked, "How shall we go through the entrance in which we enter?"

Old Hama seemed very relieved when he returned to the surface, and he walked over without hurrying and bowed to Faust, "Lord Apostle, we are not far from the entrance where we came, and we should be able to see it by bypassing the two trees over there." ”

Faust nodded, "Then you go and call the two henchmen from Kuaza." He glanced at Reinhardt on the ground, and then at Kuaza's body, which had been left on the ground almost unrecognizable, "We have several things to move back." ”

The old toad Hama nodded in response, and walked slowly into the distance.

Faust glanced around again to see Professor Pacien sitting alone in the shade of a tree, not knowing what he was thinking, while Annabella on the other side was tending to Reinhardt, who had been knocked unconscious by him.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally did not talk to Professor Pacian, but made his way to the entrance of the cave alone.

When he stopped Reinhardt from going back to his death, there was still a lot of ping-pong in the back, and it would have been completely silent, as if it was an ordinary hole, and there were no terrible monsters in it.

But this is not logical at all - even if Gaunt is dealt with by the corpse witch in one face, the corpse witch does not intend to catch up with the fleeing people, but turns and leaves, and the remaining zombies will make some noises, and it should never be so quiet.

"It should be safe down there, or let's see if we can find Gaunt's...... Uh, find Gaunt?" suggested Professor Pacion, who had been standing behind Faust since somewhere.

Faust raised an eyebrow, "Since the professors say so, let's go." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.

The professor did not refuse, jumped into the cave first, and walked straight forward, and Faust hurriedly followed.

Neither of them lit a torch, and just went on in the dark.

"What did you want to tell me then?" Professor Pacien asked suddenly, after walking a distance.

Faust knew that he was asking what he was going to say when he talked to him before the zombie attacked, so he replied, "Nothing, I just wanted to tell you about what I found in the six burial chambers." ”

"Oh?" Faust couldn't make out Professor Pacian's expression in the darkness, but listening to his tone, he must have had an expression of interest on his face.

Sure enough, Professor Pacien continued, "Tell me about it, just in time to relieve my boredom." ”

"Ahem...... Faust cleared his throat and began to tell the story he had seen in the tomb, "Professor, you also know that there was an ancient civilization here, and according to the history I have read, there was a famous female general in ancient times, Baba Yaga. ”

"The inscription in the tomb tells the story of this Baba Yaga...... "Faust tells the story of the inscription, "Baba Yaga went on an expedition against a barbaric alien tribe, and after returning victorious, she was canonized as 'Vice-Emperor', and people thought that she was the hope of the Empire, who would have thought that she would become more and more obsessed with talking to one of her trophies......"

“...... The Emperor, who returned from the abyss, built this labyrinth here, sealing six organs that the demons could not destroy. Faust paused, "That's what is recorded in the secret room." ”

"Hmm......" Professor Pacian said after listening to the story, pondering for a moment, "this story is very historical, it points directly to the cause of the fall of the First Empire. You see, according to my speculation......"

Faust was stunned, "The First Empire?" He had known the ancient civilization here in many ways, but he had never known the name of this empire - he even thought that it was an empire founded by the ancestors of the Toad People, and it had been completely annihilated in the long river of history.

But now it seems that the Toad people and the ancient empire are not closely related, but it is Pacian who teaches them where they came from, the human nation in the north, who is the real heir of the ancient civilization.

Professor Pacien replied, "Well, you don't know yet, after the destruction of the First Empire in the catastrophe, the surviving human beings, led by the remnants of the nobility, went to the north to establish a new empire, which we now call the Second Empire. ”

"And this general in your story is the founding emperor of the Second Empire. Faust still couldn't see the professor's face clearly, and although the professor's tone was still plain and calm, he shivered for no reason.
