Amanda lay on her back, limp and covered in her own blood. Itong withdrew the sword from his waist and said to Amanda with a smile, "Your last arrow shot was really good, it was almost crooked, but fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise our next target to chase the undead might be you, come and grab my hand, and I will help you up." ”

Amanda came back to her senses and grabbed Yi Tong's hand, "Damn undead, you won't be so lucky next time,... I'm going to see the appearance of this undead spirit, it's very clear, because the two of us are completely looking at each other. ”

"yes, it's a pity that it's on you, a man in black who is about to become a good man, if you two switch things, maybe I'll recognize your strength. ”

"Ito-senpai don't make fun of me, next time I'll let the stupid undead have a happy ending. With that, he got up and jumped off the clock tower.

"Forgotten is safe for the time being. Carol returned the greatsword to his back, "Leave this pile of bones to Amanda to dispose of, if the bell-ringer finds out, Forgethorn will fall into uneasiness again, which is not good for the man in black." ”

Of course, I have to hand it over to him, and I have to deal with it. Yi Tong wiped the sweat from her forehead, only to find that her sleeves had been ripped at some point, and she thought to herself, this will also be handed over to Amanda to deal with, "A month and sixteen days, I have had enough of the smell of sea salt and fishy smell in the Widow's Sea, and I wanted to spend more time in Forgotten Corner Town to rest." This mission is over, what does Maester Pesil say?"

"Go directly to Nishizawa Town, and then depart from Nishizawa Town to Kuchigi Town. "Kairol kicked the scattered bones into the corner, and the great sword clanged behind his back," he said, "He thinks that the northern Horking people are in trouble, and once the Giant's Bridge is captured, the balance of Lanya will be upset." Ormond, Say, and Irina have already made their way to the Giant's Bridge, where they are on standby. ”

"It must not be the orders of Maester Pesil, Ormond has his own opinions, and Sye is reckless, and according to me, they have been led by the war at Giant's Bridge. Itong stooped down the stone steps, with Carol following. His footsteps were heavy, probably because of the great sword on his back. "I heard that Woragon went to the Delon Snow Mountain alone, and Maester Pesil found him a 'gallop', and this guy's task is quite interesting. ”

"It's Wolagan's bad luck, when the incident in Dragonfly Town happened, he happened to be in Meiyan City, and had to take over this task, I thought he was only responsible for pacifying the bandits in the area of Dragonfly Town, but the news I got was not optimistic. ”

"It has something to do with the grave keeper. Itong walked ahead, the spiral stone staircase was very steep, and it was so dark that she had to slow down and be careful.

"That's it, but I think it has something to do with Orendine. "The Grave Keeper is only responsible for the Black Forest, and the Undead Realm is under the control of Orendine. Voragon rushed to the Black Forest non-stop, it must have been because of the undead realm. ”

"I didn't go down that road. ”

"You've been to Stormthroat Ridge, with Irina. ”

Yi Tong pouted, "The story is not complete. When the two of them descended the stone steps and exited the clock tower, Amanda was still looking for his bow and arrows. Itong knew that his bow and arrows had been given to him by Irina and that the raw materials were also from the Ice Crystal Strait, which was more important to him than his own life. It's a pity that he hasn't been blessed by the Grewin stars, and he doesn't have the abilities of the man in black, and that bow and arrow is not suitable for him, at least not at this moment. Her eyes flashed back to the fight just now, and through the cracks in the dry bones of the undead, she saw Amanda frightened, blood on the bridge of her nose like a pillar, and she fell to the ground like a fallen clown. "Hey, stupid, Kyrol and I go find something to eat nearby, and you go to the top of the building and dispose of that pile of bones. ”

"Strange, where did my bow and arrow fall?" Amanda stared at the ground intently, then raised her hand to signal to the two of them that it was okay.

Kairol also ignored Amanda as he quickly followed Itong, "Forget it, there will always be people who go that way, Wallagoon is approachable, his character is like that, and the best candidate may be him." ”

"The one who negotiates with Avenhay should be Ormond, the one who can find his way in the Black Forest should be Irina, and the one who is not afraid of death should be Sai. It is not fair that Vorragon shares the tasks of the three by himself. The two slipped into the alley, and the ruins in the distance were still shouting, but the houses on both sides of the street had fallen silent, and no passers-by were passing by at the moment. "Where are we going to find food?"

"Back to the hotel just now, the boss should still pick up customers. So the two turned around and walked towards another alley.

"So do you think that Woragon should be waiting for us at Giant's Bridge?" said Carroll, after a long pause.

Ormond must have thought so. ”

"yes, he has a good relationship with Voragon. Carole replied, "Although they rarely have time to meet." ”

"I don't want to talk about them, I just want to eat some food and get a good rest in bed. ”

"Do you want a familiar dream?" said Carol, who could tell that you were in the mood to joke, but I wasn't in the mood to accompany you.

"Why don't you speak, okay Ito?" Amanda doesn't seem to have found his bow and arrows yet, do you want to give him a handful too?"

"He ruined my long hair, you see, like a rotten haystack arched by flies. I wish I had to break him up. ”

"I remember it was your attention. ”

"Yes and what. Itong glared at Kelol sideways, "Maester Pesil doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked, why didn't he send Amanda to Irina? ”

"But what we're missing is Scouts. ”

"He's not yet. ”

"But just go back. ”

"I really doubt that he will not be able to bear this journey, and if we have a confrontation with the Horking people at Giant's Bridge, this kid will definitely pee his pants, and most likely be killed. ”

"The world is unpredictable, Itong. Carol smiled, "Don't the Twitans often say, 'All things are fate.'" ”

"I don't believe it. The two walked out of the long, winding alley, and finally came to the inn. Outside the closed door came two tired Metirs, dressed in pale green travel cloaks and carrying wooden boxes wrapped in layers of floral cloth on their shoulders. What a dusty man, Yi Tong thought to himself. When the four of them stood in front of the door at the same time, the Metir subconsciously moved away from them. What a fuss, you think we're robbers, and you deserve to be tired of this virtue. With a grim expression, Kelol nodded slightly to the Metir, then slammed on the door, knocking ...... Boom...... Knock, "Boss, open the door!"

"Rude Orientals. A Metir whispered to his companion. Yi Tong ignored them, timid as a mouse, she cursed secretly.

When the door opened, the innkeeper was wearing snow-white trousers, and he looked at them sleepily. "Bosses, I don't pick up customers here late at night, I don't pick up customers. ”

"I stayed with you for a day, don't you remember?" said Carroll.

"I receive a lot of guests here every day, Westerners, Orientals, Germans, and even bandits and murderers, I just don't remember taking guests like you. He complained impatiently, "Deep roots don't let people rest in the middle of the night, I don't lack your money, go quickly, there is no place here, there is no more." ”

At this time, the Metir stepped forward and said with a smile, "Good boss, my friend and I have just come out of the Saigon Forest, and the journey for a few days is really tiring and accommodating. He handed his boss a gold mine, "We're from Silent Moon City, your old friend." ”

The boss's expression changed as soon as he saw the gold mine, "Ah, old friend, of course you know, the Metir people of Jingyue City, yo! Look at my head, not long after, a couple of men and women left the room, and there happened to be two rooms here. ”

Seeing the stupid pig with money eyes open, Yi Tong stepped forward, "Boss, we are from ...... east of Lethe Town. ”

"Edom, of course you know, you can tell by the accent, you're from Nishizawa, or is it a strange stone platform, or is it some kind of place?" the boss interrupted her.

"It's not Nishizawa, it's not a strange stone platform, it's not a ghost place, we come from the Dusk Castle of Black Hill Mountain. ”

When the innkeeper heard this, he immediately froze in place, raised the candle in the air, and then carefully observed the two men, and finally focused his gaze on their chests. "Is this really the star pattern of the man in black......? , are you the men in black, the men in black of Black Hill Mountain?"

That's right, you're not blind. "Yes boss. ”

The boss hurriedly opened the door wide, "Fast forward, fast forward, there is a room here, how can there be none." When Itong and Kairol entered the hall, Amanda rushed in breathlessly, and when she looked back, the boss had sent the two Metirs away, but Amanda was puzzled.

"Say whatever you need. ”

Carol handed the gold to the innkeeper, "This is the money for tonight's stay, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

"I don't want money, I can't ask for money from the man in black. ”

"Why?" Amanda asked, slumped in her chair.

"Because you're men in black. ”

That's an accurate answer. Itong said to Kairol, "We'll leave tomorrow morning, don't say the next destination is Nishizawa Town, it's too far away, we have to buy a few horses." If you choose it early in the morning, it will be too late. ”

"Of course not, it's said that there's something going on in the North Cape Forest, I think it's the undead, let's go there first. After the mission in the North Point Forest is completed, we will leave for the town of West. ”

"I know the North Point Forest, where to the east is the 'Holy Ribbon', the path of peace opened by the people of the high mountains. It is better to buy three horses from the people of the West, their horses are tall and strong, and they are all war horses. ”

Early the next morning, the trio bought mounts from Patumun's soldiers, which were cheaper than those of ordinary peddlers. Westerners have a good impression of the Men in Black because of their friendly dealings with the Sacred Cultists in Star Bay. The Sea of Our Lady they worship is the vast sea of the south, and it is not as vagaries as the Weeping Sea, not as ancient and magnificent as the sea of the setting sun in the west, nor has any footprints left by the earth spirits, but it brings endless wealth to the people of the coast. The Bay of the Stars is located in the fjord adjacent to the seven islands, and the Sanctuary of the Sanctuary overlooks all the islands, her exterior is decorated with sky-blue glaze and marble of Katsuyuki, dignified and elegant like a beautiful maiden, always looking at the distant sea, praying to the heavens and praying for the blessings of the people. Blue skies, seabirds, and rainforests cover Etoile Bay, home to the oldest peoples outside of the Sanctuary cults, some of whom can be pushed back to the beginning of the First Human Age, where the area has never been tainted by war for thousands of years.

When the three of them walked out of the town, Yi Tong regretted not going to the town's Anting to smell the rich fragrance of the Anting, and then look at the devout worshippers who worshiped the Virgin Mary's Sea, or laugh at the Westerners who dressed up in style. The small building was a strange place, and Itong had learned from the Sanctuary cultists that whether it was a robber, a beggar, or a sinner who had murdered or robbed a house, as long as one foot stepped on the threshold of Anting, all men were equal, and Our Lady would have mercy on him and send him blessings. It's a place of harmony, and there's no two.

After that, the three of them spent a day and a half crossing the Earthsea Plain, and by the time they arrived at the North Point Forest, it was already early afternoon. Kyrol left Amanda on a rocky cliff overlooking the forest, observing nearby movements and dissuading anyone trying to make their way through the North Cape forest.

"How do I dissuade passers-by?" Armanda interrogated dumbfoundedly.

"There are no less than ten roads in the North Point Forest, crisscrossed by the north, south, and north, and there have been five homicides on this road, and if anyone wants to pass through here, tell them that the wolves have taken over it. Carole replied.

"What if these people don't listen to me, they'll take me for a lunatic. ”

Carol pointed to the star pattern on his chest, "Reveal your identity." ”

"But ....... ”

"Not so much, but, when the sun goes down, we'll start a fire in the forest. ”

Amanda reluctantly climbed the rock, while Itong and Kairol rode into the dense forest. The road was muddy, with ruts and hiking footprints mixed into a thin mud and swarms of mosquitoes roaming the surface, and there was nothing to cheer up Itong except the heat and humidity. He rode listlessly on horseback, but Carole at his side was in good spirits, the great sword on his back scraping against the solid hind legs of the horse, sometimes quickening his pace, sometimes slowing down. "The gloomy forest, the murky air, not even a single animal in sight, I don't think even the undead like to come here, let alone the travelers, I don't know what is here to confuse these lost people. Itong shook his arm to show that he was bored.

Carol carefully observed his surroundings, as if searching for his prey, he listened to Itong's complaints, smiled and said, "Because they want to find a long-lost sense of fear here, strange things can satisfy those people, that's their nature." ”

"Ah, if that's the case, just join the organization of the Men in Black, so that you don't have to go to great lengths to look for fear everywhere, it will naturally come to the door. Yi Tong played with the short sword in his hand, "If there are organized and arranged markers here, it will be much easier to find outlaws, the vast forest, I don't know where it is running and hiding, if you look for it like this, you can't find it for five or six days." ”

"If it were me, of course I wouldn't find it, the undead like your taste and would come running by themselves. "So your knife is always sharper than my greatsword, be careful not to hurt yourself with your weapon." ”

"I'll disemboweled the undead and make you a necklace or a delicate ring out of the undead's rotten bones, what do you think?"

Carol laughed, "Then no undead will dare to cross the line, it will remember your sharp weapon and terrifying face, would you think? What is it like for an undead to pee his pants when he sees your face?"

Your words are always so frivolous. Itong ignores his jokes.

"Do you know how many types of undead there are?"

"I don't know, I'm not Orendine. ”

"There is more to the world of the undead than just a pile of bones, in that place where there is no sunlight, only purgatory, there are some monsters that you can't imagine. Their horses slowed down, and as they rounded a detour and crossed a slippery road covered with low grass, Carol spoke, "Listen to Master Pesil, the undead are caused by the evil souls of the living realm, and they will be driven into the undead realm, where they will be severely punished forever, until their souls are tormented and torn, distorted, and finally turned into sinful entities, it is said that in the undead war a thousand years ago, the million undead army wanted to control the world. In fact, there are not only countless skeletons, but also black bats with wings and skeleton dogs running on all fours. But I've never seen any of these things. ”

"In this way, the undead world is an animal kingdom, so if there are no earthworm-sized undead, if there is, I think it will be a little difficult to catch it. "You're a fool, and Maester Pessil's words may not be true.
