"Let's try it!"

Simon walked over from the open kitchen next to the hall and handed over the freshly brewed coffee in his hand.

"Thank you. ”

Jenny smiled sweetly after taking the coffee, and then turned her head to look at the crown full of stars in the huge fish tank in front of her, her eyes were confused, as if a dragon had seen a gem and gold coin, and couldn't help but say.

"It's so beautiful, it's even more beautiful than Vanica's Star Rosa, and just looking at them is a pleasure. ”

Simon only smiled faintly when he heard the girl's whisper again, and there was no smug look on his face after being praised, which disappointed Jenny, who had been secretly observing him.

Since her figure has grown, the boys she met have all been like peacocks on the screen after hearing her praise, scrambling to show off themselves, but the neighbor in front of her is plain like an old man, without any fluctuation at all, and there is still a polite smile on his face, just like his annoying aunt.

"Hell, this guy is like my grandfather!" Jenny secretly choreographed Simon in her mind, but she still had a warm smile on her face. "It's a pity that he has such a handsome face, but it's a pity that it's too uninteresting. ”

Jenny's interest in him suddenly decreased, this kind of wood-type boy was not her cup of tea at all, even if he was handsome and rich, but so what?

It was a shame that she wanted to suddenly get in touch with him in depth, but this precocious "old man" was a nightmare for a fashionable girl like her, and she immediately threw away the thoughts that had just flashed without a trace.

Simon didn't notice the thoughts of the girl in front of him at all, and naturally he didn't know that he had just inadvertently missed out on a wonderful one

He took a sip of his coffee, smiled and talked to his neighbors, occasionally casually glancing at the strange mist that twisted and struggled between the glass.

Dozens of minutes later, after drinking the coffee in the cup, the girl elegantly took out an invitation from her delicate bag and handed it over.

"Simon, tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of my father and mother's marriage, and we will be holding a memorial party at home, and if you are interested, you are welcome to come and join us. ”

Simon took the invitation, looked at it a little, and immediately responded, "It's my honor, I'll be there on time tomorrow at noon." ”

As soon as the words fell, the girl stood up with her bag in her hand, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of her bright red mouth, "It's delicious coffee, but I have to leave first." Simon, I'm going to invite the other neighbors. By the way, do you have any food allergies? Our lunch tomorrow is a cold party, if there is one, I will go back and arrange it. ”

Simon also got up and replied, "I don't have any allergies to seafood, so I don't need special preparation." ”

"Alright, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

The girl walked briskly out of Simon's new home, and turned around and walked to the villa where the art of bondage was playing not far ahead.

Simon watched Jenny drift away, turned back into the room, threw the invitation in his hand on the guest table, and thought about what to bring to the party tomorrow.

It's been a few years since he came into this world, and Simon is not too unfamiliar with the customs and habits here.

Wedding anniversaries such as these are popular in many states of the United States of Adoria, and most of the visitors are relatives, friends, and neighbors, who often go empty-handed, and bring a little gift to express their blessings.

It's usually a good fruit basket or a nice bottle of wine, or a case of freshly baked tarts or something. These things will be eaten directly at the party meal, which is convenient and not wasteful.

Simon had attended two of these parties before and was not ignorant of such gatherings, so after thinking about it for a while, he dialed a phone number and asked someone to prepare a gift for him when he went to the party tomorrow.

Knock knock knock!!

It's just that another uninvited guest in the room is obviously already in a hurry.

On the huge, bright glass at the edge of the kitchen, the muddy gray mist in the glass turned into a distorted and amorphous shape, and the skeletons, human faces, and ghosts changed in various forms.

Squeak!

All kinds of sometimes sharp, sometimes ethereal, all kinds of terrifying sounds kept coming out of the gray fog, crashing into the bright glass in front of him like crazy, making bursts of piercing and strange sounds.

Simon turned a blind eye to this, turned back to sit on the couch, and took a sip of the coffee in his cup, before turning his head and smiling at the ghost face in the glass, unshackling the strange gray mist, ready to meet his guests.

Hiss~!

The strange gray mist in the glass disappeared abruptly, the scream of a poisonous snake like a letter resounded quietly in the room, and the cold wind blew silently in the spreading frost flowers, emitting a miserable wail. Countless waves of dead air began to spread and flow in the room, and the entire villa began to lose its color, gradually turning into a dead silence.

Simon watched coldly, and when he saw that the villain was becoming more and more unscrupulous, he suddenly let out a chuckle.

"These crowns are also very valuable ornamental fish, and they are generally not easy to buy in the market, it is really rude for Your Highness to do this, this is not a guest's behavior!"

As he spoke, the whole villa suddenly shone brightly, and the brilliant light filled the entire hall, and a beam of transparent light as cool as water fell straight from the luxurious crystal chandelier at the top of the hall, enveloping a ghostly shadow that could not help but twist and twist under the light.

The haunted villa suddenly came alive again, as if everything was an illusion just now.

"Do you think so, Your Highness Bane. Simon said as he raised the coffee cup in his hand at the ghost under the crystal lamp, then stood up and bowed slightly, "Welcome to my new home, Your Highness." ”

As soon as Simon's words fell, the tumbling ghost in the beam stopped boiling, and was quietly suspended in mid-air, conjuring up a projection-like old face.

"And is your Excellency entertaining your guests like this?" Bern suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the mirror light that bound him, and his eyes flickered without a trace.

"Your Excellency has suddenly left the Kloto Mountains, and I, who am half a master, should naturally take care of my old friend and see what is wrong with you, so that you can say goodbye?"

Simon didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Bane's words, and he didn't let go of the shackles of the mirror light, which still firmly bound the one in front of him

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, I don't have anything to do, but after seeing the confrontation between you and the Highnesses of the Mage Alliance, I was deeply uneasy and decided to leave first. ”

Simon laughed and said slowly, slowly pacing forward.

It's just that Bane's projection in the mirror light didn't answer.

On his manifested old countenance, a pair of cloudy and dull eyes stared at Simon deadly, like the vertical pupils of a cold-blooded animal, cold and cruel.

Simon ignored his gaze and continued to sip the coffee in his cup slowly, elegantly and meticulously, unaffected in the slightest.

In this way, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, and the invisible pressure flowed between the two, which seemed extremely oppressive, and even the crown full of stars in the fish tank next to the hall hid on the edge of the corner, shivering.

"A Divinity!"

After a long time, Banne, who was shrouded in mirrorlight, suddenly spoke. He looked at Simon sitting on the sofa from afar and repeated solemnly.

"A divinity. The remnants of the divinity of the god of Hades, Capophis, as long as you help me pull the gray dead country out of the River Styx, it is yours, swear by the River Styx. ”

Simon's expression suddenly moved, and his face was no longer as indifferent as before. He stared closely at the phantom in the mirror light, and subconsciously asked, "A part of the divinity of the god Capophis?"

Memories swirled through his mind, and legends about the god of the underworld Capophis flashed through his mind.

Thanks to the single-player game "Sage" trilogy played by his predecessor, Simon still has some information about this god in his memory, after all, he is a relatively well-known guard boss in these three single-player games, and there are naturally a lot of introductions in the game.

Although these introductions have undergone a lot of magical changes, they also let Simon know his existence and legend from the side.

Capophis, one of the three gods of the god of Nayeglo, is second only to the Lord of Death, and leads the sixteen gods of death, and together with the other two gods of the underworld, he rules the country of Naraku and specializes in fighting.

"Yes, once a divinity of Capophis, one of the three gods of the Dead Throne, as long as you help me pull the Dead Kingdom out, it will be yours. Bane nodded, and explained directly.

"The Dead Country is part of the Naraku Divine Kingdom where the Neyeglo God System is located, after the fall of the gods, the Kingdom of the Gods fell apart, and this relatively intact Dead Kingdom was accidentally discovered by us in the tributaries of the River Styx. ”

"For hundreds of years, we have been plotting to pull it out of the River Styx, but unexpectedly, some accidents happened, and the Mage Alliance also learned of the news, and they sent people to negotiate with us, asking us to join in this operation, otherwise no one would want to take this broken kingdom of God alone. ”

"After all, the mages have been watching the power of the Death Gods, the only known power on this planet that can slightly resist the power of the Order, and they naturally don't want to miss it. ”

"Eventually, we agreed to the Mage Alliance's involvement in the operation, but there was some mishap along the way, and the Pale Grey Flame died out completely. At this, there was some fluctuation in Ben's tone, and a hint of mockery flashed on his old countenance, and then he continued.

"However, some of the Mage League have not given up on this plan, and the mass grave in the Klotto Mountains is their plan left behind, and it was some of them who insisted on keeping this resentful place of death as a node connecting the River Styx, so as to pull the dead country out of the River Styx. ”

"But they failed again, and I reappeared. ”
