Fern and Stan almost burst both packages before they stopped. "Let's hope that's enough until we come back. Fern weighed the package.

Rui Leng snorted uncontrollably. "If you take those ales out of the package, I'm sure it's enough. ”

The two men did not dare to say more, and hurriedly carried the package and raised the torch, and it was Fern who took the lead. "You just said magic...... Is the volatility deeper?"

Ness nodded, clenching her torch a little nervously. "Yes, it's getting closer, and we'd better be careful. ”

"Follow me, on alert. In the dark underworld, Fern didn't dare to take it lightly.

The stone chambers on both sides passed by them, and after walking for five minutes, at the end of the stone path, a room much larger than the others appeared in front of everyone.

"Be careful, Fern. Queai hurried from the back of the line to Fern's side. "The magic inside is very powerful. ”

Fern turned his head to the side and nodded at Queai, drawing his sword in stone, the sound of the blade slicing through the scabbard was particularly harsh in the quiet passage. "Rui, you and I go in first, and the others are waiting outside the door, waiting for our signal. ”

"I'll go in with you, I can't see anything here, and if anything, I can use fire magic to illuminate the surroundings. Quiai pulled a long dagger from his waist.

Ness bit her lip and plucked up her courage. "Fern, let me go in with you, I can cast orbs of light too. ”

Fern looked at Niss with a complicated look in his eyes. "No, Ness, you're safer here. Then his gaze shifted to Quiai. "You go in with me and protect yourself. ”

Queai smiled happily and nodded several times.

Ness pouted in frustration, but she knew in her heart that Fern was reluctant to let her take the risk, to protect her.

Fern put down the package he was carrying, and gently moved to the door of the stone chamber, then motioned for Queai to move to the other side. The mercenary looked at the somewhat nervous mage on the other side, and poked himself with his right index finger and middle finger, then the door, then Quiai, and finally into the stone chamber again.

Queai actually understood what Fern meant, nodded seriously, and the girl's lips began to open and close quickly, silently chanting the incantation.

Suddenly, Fern flashed into the stone chamber with an arrow step, and the speed was so fast that before Quiai could react, he found that the mercenary on the opposite side was gone. The mage came back to his senses, and hurriedly rushed in, and as Kuiai recited the last few syllables of the incantation aloud, the stone room quickly lit up, and for a while it was like daylight, and at the same time, a wave of heat rushed out of the stone room and pounced on the faces of the companions who answered outside.

The three people waiting outside looked nervously at the door of the stone chamber, waiting for a signal from Fern and Queay, ready to rush in. But it wasn't until the light in the stone chamber grew fainter and fainter, and finally returned to the brightness of only two torches, that Fern's voice finally belated. "Come in, you'd better hold your chins. ”

Rui and Ness glanced at each other and slowly walked into the stone chamber, Stan following closely behind, and the three of them were even wary the moment they stepped into the stone chamber. But when they entered it, all that was left in their hearts was shock.

In this room, which was much larger than the other stone chambers, there were countless wooden shelves erected, extending to the depths of the room, and the whole room was bottomless, making Fern wonder if it was deeper than the stone pavement they had just walked into. What struck them the most was the wooden shelves, each taller than Fern, divided into ten tiers from top to bottom, each filled with small transparent bottles, each filled with a blue liquid. Clear, free of impurities, it remains liquid even in Sarah's harsh winters.

"Holy Water...... So much...... Holy water......" Rui couldn't believe his eyes, and stroked one of the bottles of holy water.

"Bright! This must be the favor of the seven gods, and with these holy waters, perhaps defeating the dark tide is no longer an unattainable delusion. Ness's body trembled with excitement.

Fern and Stan remain fairly calm, and Stan looks into the depths of the stone chamber. "With so much holy water, why isn't it used on the battlefield to save Asgard, but just stored here?"

Fern clasped his hands and leaned against the wall. "This must be asked by the person who made the holy water, did Kremence and Tillin mention it to you?"

"Yes, Manfred, one of the great sages of the Mage's Tower, however, Basorem only said that he had discovered the recipe for making holy water, but it is not certain whether so many holy waters were made by him or not. Rui exhaled heavily and closed his eyes. "I need to think about it, there are too many puzzles. ”

"Ness, are the magic fluctuations you are talking about being released by these holy waters?" Fern walked over to Ness.

"Yes, do you remember the little bit of holy water that we found in Alfheim that has been destroyed? just that, I can feel the faint mana, so the mana contained in so many holy waters will be very powerful. Ness looked up at Fern. "Even this forest can be unusually lush, I think it's because of these holy waters. ”

"Luckily, the demon hasn't discovered this place yet, so let's get out as soon as possible, and we won't expose this place to the Dark Tide. Fern looked at his companions.

Rui opened his eyes and looked at Fern and Stan. "I think we can bring some holy water, but these bottles don't fit with us, and your metal bottles are nice. ”

"But...... Without wine, we can't fight the Dark Tide. Stan held back for a long time to come up with this crude excuse.

Rui didn't pay any attention to him at all. "Are you doing it yourself, or are we going to help you?"

"Hell!" Fern cursed, walked out of the stone chamber to get the package, and began to open the bottle and drink. "Can't be wasted. ”

Rui smiled, and looked at the entire stone chamber with the other two mages.

"Rui, what do you think this is?" Ness suddenly noticed a necklace hanging behind the wall where they had entered. "Black gems, maybe you know something. ”

Rui walked into the necklace and took a closer look. "It looks like a magic weapon, a silver necklace, a black gem, maybe more suitable for dark magic, but you and Quiai can also use it, you can wear it to enhance some mana. ”

"You better wear it, Rui, I can't even use the full power of this ring, it's a waste to wear another magic weapon, and the black stone is more suitable for you. Ness said, looking at Queay for her support.

Quiai nodded. "Rui, you do need a magic weapon, Niss and I have rings. ”

Rui nodded slightly. "Your reasons are indeed the most reasonable. With that, Rui gently took the necklace off the wall and put it around his neck. The silver necklace was perhaps under the influence of the powerful magic power of the holy water, and it was not rusty at all, in stark contrast to the black gemstones. Worn on Rui's snow-white neck, hanging between the slightly protruding collarbones, Rui's charm and charm are even more attractive.

Ness looked at Rui with a smile. "It's really a good fit for you, Rui, it's beautiful. ”

Rui smiled and hid the pendant inside his clothes. "I did feel a wave of magic invading my body, and it looks like it's going to take a while to get used to. ”

At this point, the voices of Fern and Stan complaining can be heard, and neither of them can drink anymore and have to pour the wine directly on the ground. "It's a waste, and the Seven Gods will punish you. Fern was very unhappy.

"I'm afraid this is wishful thinking. Rui quipped with a laugh. "Let's help too, put the holy water in the bottle. She beckoned to Ness and Quea.

In the end, a total of ten bottles of holy water were filled, one each hanging from their belts, and the other five were carried by Fern and Stan.

Nessy turned her upper body a little unaccustomed. "Even though it's a flat bottle, I still don't feel comfortable hanging it on my belt. ”

"You won't think that way when you run into a demon. Fern smiled and touched Ness's head. "Alright, let's go, get out of here. ”

The group walked in the direction they had come to the exit, and as they walked past the stone chamber where the ale was kept, Fern and Stan slipped in and hung a few bottles of ale on their belts to make up for the loss, until their belts were almost ripped off.

The three mages stood in the doorway and watched them helplessly, and in the intervening moments, Quiai bent into a stone room where the bows and crossbows were kept, and Rui and Ness accompanied her inside. Quiai was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many arrows made of sharp steel, and the tail of the arrow was not feathered, but was balanced by a variety of leaves that Sara could find.

"Great, Sarah's arrows are notoriously useful, I knew I wouldn't have had to do so much myself last night. Quiai looked at the arrows that were strewn across the racks of weapons in front of him, a little overwhelmed.

Rui picked up an arrow and played with it in his hand. "How did you learn archery? I've never seen a mage so good at using a weapon, mostly just beginners. ”

"Archery calms my mind, and when I'm so focused on the target and shoots the arrow in my hand, I don't have any distractions in my mind, it's the only time I've ever heard my heart. Quay's fingers ran across every inch of the arrow. "But after meeting Fern, I realized that I could hear myself even when I wasn't archery. A charming smile appeared on Quiai's delicate face.

Niss pursed her lips and began to pull the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her left hand.

Rui sighed and glanced at Niss helplessly. "It seems that the best is yet to come, and I am both looking forward to it, but also a little worried, I don't know if the Seven Gods will be able to cope with this. ”

Quiai picked up the arrow. "I don't think so, it's a human trait, maybe even the Seven Gods can't understand it, no matter what, I won't give up easily. Queai turned to look at Ness. "As you've seen before, I'm a man who dares to pursue my own happiness. ”

Niss bit her lower lip and didn't speak, the corners of her clothes almost torn by her.
