Darkness, deep darkness.

Here darkness seems to be more than just a color, it is vast and heavy, and even gives a hard feeling.

This is the deep area of the mission, there are no various glowing plants, and the light from the stars and the moon cannot shine here, and the silence and deep darkness have always shrouded it, and even time cannot change all this.

The darkness of the five fingers that cannot be seen, ordinary people come here, with the help of losing the important sense of vision, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch, right?

But in the eyes of others, or in the spiritual horizon of those who have mastered magical powers, darkness is not the only color in this vast area......

"Shhhh

A pair of yellow eyes appeared in the darkness, calmly without revealing a trace of emotional fluctuations.

The red light rippled in the darkness a few times, and the cold sweat soaked the clothes on his body in an instant, and the red earrings stiffened and didn't dare to move, trying to control their breathing but becoming more and more rapid and disordered convulsions.

The calf bones of the two legs were strangely folded forward, obviously forcibly broken by external forces, the muscles on the cheeks shook densely and rapidly, and the foreheads were also covered with fine beads of sweat.

The intense pain irritated the nerves, and he needed to inhale a lot of oxygen to keep his mind clear, and the red earrings almost couldn't suppress the desire to cry out loud, but he forcibly held back.

Because he was an apprentice in magic, and in his spiritual vision, a corpse was clinging to the trunk of a large purple tree not far away.

The corpse's face was pressed against the trunk of the tree, and it fell with its hands and feet, but it did not slide down the trunk to the ground, because a black dagger pierced his temple and pinned his head to the trunk.

The bulging eyes and the wide-pitched mouth that seemed to be roaring reminded the red earrings of how important it was to be quiet.

"I ask you to answer. The corners of Ye Xiao's mouth twitched to reveal a smile, but with the yellow eyes without a trace of emotional fluctuations, this smile fell on the eyes of the red earrings, revealing an indescribable weirdness and horror.

Pain and fear, red earringed lips trembled, cheeks stiffened, unable to speak at all, could only inhale and nod their heads.

Although he couldn't understand at all at this moment, he was just an inconspicuous low-level magic apprentice a few months ago, how he could transform into such a terrifying and terrifying monster in such a short period of time, but only by working hard with Ye Xiao could he survive, so no matter how intense the physical pain was, he still concentrated all his attention, carefully observing and listening to Ye Xiao's expressions and words.

"Do you know the Dementors?" Ye Xiao's body leaned forward, staring straight into the eyes of the red earrings, and the movements and postures full of aggression and oppression made the red earrings' rapid breathing pause......

Orange light, a simple wooden house with only a low wire bed, a half-height wooden table, and a log stool, Sosa's brother Einz held a long carbon-wood pen and "rustled" calculations on the gray-yellow paper.

"Click" was the sound of the door being opened, followed by a few unhurried footsteps, Einz continued the work at hand without raising his head, and said weakly and perfunctorily: "Got it, got it, I'll go to sleep right away." ”

The person behind him did not leave, Einz could feel a cold feeling that penetrated his skin from his back to his whole body, he let out a long breath, put down the carbon pen in his hand, turned around and looked up helplessly at the person behind him.

The loose kazo was tightly tied by the belt, and the dark red clothes were stained with patches of dust, and Einz frowned, raised his head, but suddenly a terrible cry sounded in his ears.

Einz was a spirit, but he saw a somewhat illusory and terrifying face with no obvious facial features, only gray holes in the eyes and mouth.

The long, shriveled hands stretched out towards Einz's frightened head like a pair of gray claws......

"Whew!" Einz awoke from the darkness suddenly, gasping violently, his heart pounding against his chest, he could even hear the sound of the impact, "poof, poof, puff" like someone had pressed a stone on his chest, dull and uncomfortable.

Hurriedly turned on the magic lamp at the head of the bed, the warm orange light dispelled the darkness and depression, Einz frowned, looking at the darkness outside the window uneasily, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger......

In the dimly lit quiet room, there were simple furnishings, two rows of bookshelves, a table, and a chair, and a kind old woman about sixty years old sat on the chair, carefully disassembling the blood-soaked gauze wrapped around Ye Xiao's arm.

"Be careful, don't move. The old woman raised her head and looked at Ye Xiao, her blue eyes were full of dense laugh lines, and her silver hair seemed to be glowing.

"Hmm. Ye Xiao sighed, and also smiled kindly.

"How did you get hurt?" the old woman asked softly, seemingly casually, as she carefully untied the last layer of blood-soaked gauze.

"There was a bit of a conflict with Yapaul before, and then he was killed by me, and this time I happened to meet Yapaolo's brother Gavana when I was hunting in the mission area, well......" Ye Xiao didn't continue, partly because the silver-haired old woman's action of tearing off the gauze caused the wound on Ye Xiao's arm to be damaged, and the pain made Ye Xiao frown, and partly because, even if he didn't say what he was going to say next, it was self-evident.

On the table, on the right hand side of the old woman, there was a gray bag filled with green powder.

The old woman stretched out her baby-like delicate right hand, grabbed a handful of green powder and sprinkled it on Ye Xiao's wound, and suddenly a cool feeling of comfort replaced the pain.

At the same time, a layer of red light gradually surfaced on the surface of the wound. Ye Xiao also noticed that after the green powder was mixed with the blood, it turned into a jelly-like semi-coagulated transparent paste-like substance, and all the blood on the wound disappeared, so the scar on the arm was clearly displayed in front of the silver-haired old woman.

"Well, it's indeed Gavana's sharktooth scimitar, congratulations, the new East Side manager. The old woman smiled kindly, pressed the bell on the table, took out a rectangular colored seal and said to Ye Xiao: "Lanut will come down to see you in a while, and explain to you the matters to pay attention to and the benefits you will enjoy as a manager." ”

"Now I'll help you reprint the numbered magic pattern first, and put your left hand over for a moment. The old woman paused, held Ye Xiao's outstretched left hand, and whispered seemingly inadvertently: "But it's really a coincidence, this wound ......"

"No, it's a real problem. Ye Xiao replied casually.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Smack.

As soon as Ye Xiao was about to turn around, the door behind him was opened.

A creepy feeling suddenly came from behind him, the cold hair on Ye Xiao's body immediately stood up, the muscles in his back beat rhythmically, and a very strong sense of threat pressed Ye Xiao's sensory nerves fiercely behind him.

Ye Xiao turned around and found a sturdy bearded old man looking at him with interest.

Ye Xiao secretly guessed that this sturdy old man who suddenly appeared and brought him a strong sense of threat was probably the second person in charge of the Shadow Alliance, Lanut, who was arranged here, but before he could think about it, a tingling pain came from his left arm.

"Ranut, you're pretty fast. The silver-haired old woman put away the colorful seals, got up and walked around the table and stepped forward to say hello to the visitor, and the identity of the strong old man was indeed as Ye Xiao thought.

"I can't sleep as well as I used to when I'm old, it's okay anyway, I'll come down as soon as I get your notice, what's going on?" Lanut spoke to the silver-haired old woman very familiarly, and the relationship between the two seemed to be good.

Looking down at the numbered magic pattern on his left arm that resembled a colorful tattoo, an irrepressible smile climbed up Ye Xiao's cheek, but it was quickly restrained by him, Ye Xiao turned to look at the two people who were talking with a calm face, and just met the gaze handed over by Lanut.

Nodding, Ye Xiao didn't speak, it was a silent greeting.

"There's nothing going on here, is there? Lanut looked at the silver-haired old woman, and the second half of the sentence was said to Ye Xiao.

"Well, you can just go with him, it's good for you. The silver-haired old woman smiled kindly.

"Snort. The stout old man Lanut suddenly laughed, and then said to Ye Xiao: "Come and come with me." ”

After Lanut finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, and Ye Xiao also walked to the silver-haired old woman's side, and thanked him respectfully, showing great gratitude.

The silver-haired old woman, on the other hand, kept smiling and looked very kind and kind.

Standing in front of the door, watching Ye Xiao's figure walk away in the white hall, the silver-haired old woman closed the door with a "bang".

"Let's go. ”

Twisting his neck from side to side, a violent bone stretching sound sounded.

The figure and temperament of the silver-haired old woman changed dramatically in an instant, not only the delicate white skin turned into a deep green, but the blue eyes also turned into crimson, and the whites of the eyes on the eyeballs all disappeared, leaving only a little pupil the size of a needle's eye moving left and right, which was indescribably weird.

With a "swish", the old woman's body brought out a long shadow, which instantly appeared in the position behind the table, her pupils dilated and contracted, picked up the bandage on the table and put it under her nose and sniffed greedily, and after a while, she said in a similar tone: "It's really sweet, it's so wonderful, it doesn't contain fighting spirit and no impurities, and the blood at this stage is really the most delicious." ”

"I really want to, I really want to ......" The silver-haired old woman's body began to tremble, a layer of fine scales began to climb her green skin, she stretched out her slender forked tongue, carefully licked the blood stains on the bandage, closed her eyes and let out a heavy moan and gasp, and said with great aftertaste: "It's so delicious after so long, if it's fresh blood just taken out, then ...... That ......"

Snort -

A thick scaly tail tore through her clothes, and the silver-haired old woman had turned into a lizard-like monster at this time, completely lacking the kind and friendly appearance she had when she had just come into contact with Ye Xiao.

Boom!

Two thick claw arms smashed the table, and the green lizardmonster directly stuffed the gauze in its claws into its mouth and chewed greedily, and the jagged sharp teeth tore the gauze to pieces in a few clicks, and the lizardman suddenly quieted down, closing his eyes as if carefully savoring the aftertaste in his mouth.

"Roar—"

Large clouds of viscous saliva dripped on the ground and stirred up white smoke, obviously full of corrosive poison, and the lizard monster let out an unwilling roar, and the strong and huge roar was completely blocked by the soundproofing magic in the room, and not a trace of sound reached the outside of the house.
