Dis's Arena, the gladiatorial arena.

Generally speaking, the most important figures, operas, or games are always put to the end, so after the 'Battle of the Spotlight' is over, the surrounding stands are empty, except for Barrett himself, who is still sitting on the head of the dead primeval dragon, not moving for a long time.

Of course, he didn't do this because his ass was frozen in frost mist, and the undead had no temperature, so you couldn't tell which was colder, him or the ice around him. The brute was reminiscing at this time, reminiscing about the moment when the dark red barrier opened, the tsunami-like cheers and curses that poured from the stands. To be honest, it was really intoxicating, so much so that Barrett found himself faintly reluctant to fight in this yellow sand.

"Oh, my head must be frozen!" he laughed self-deprecatingly, "otherwise how could I be nostalgic for an arena in a devil's city?"

Not far away, the little mage Krees and an old man in a dark gray linen robe walked side by side.

"It's a good fight, a wonderful battle!" the little mage patted the white dragon's nose and dipped his fingers in some dragon blood, "Ahh

"It's just luck. Barrett jumped off the dragon's head, "If it had been a different kind of dragon, maybe it wouldn't have been like this." ”

"That's because they didn't expect you to be a, Death Knight? The old man beside the little mage looked the barbarian up and down, "To be honest, I'm curious about how you should be classified, whether you should be classified as a human, a troll, or an undead?"

"Let me introduce you, this is my teacher, 'Legendary Mage', 'Arcane Torrent', 'Godslayer' Timos Turner. The little mage raised his head proudly, then leaned in front of Barrett and lowered his voice, "He really killed the gods, in that god war. ”

Legendary mage!And a mage from the time of the Magic Empire!Barrett panicked, as if the old man on the other side was even more terrifying than the primeval dragon, and it was true. He folded his hands, palms up, and placed them flat on his heart, "Hello, Honorable Legendary Mage Timos. He bowed his head and said respectfully.

This ancient mage etiquette used by ordinary people to salute the mage was learned by the barbarian from the 'handsome guy Jack' in the Bay of Pigs, and I heard that the most primitive meaning of this action seems to be 'I have no weapons, don't kill me'.

"You're welcome, young gladiator. Master Timos waved his hand, "If you really want to express your gratitude, I hope you will take some time to visit my Mage Tower." ”

"That'......," Barrett replied at a loss. He didn't dare to refuse, not only because the other party was a legendary mage, but also because the reason why he was able to get rid of the devil's control for a while was thanks to the old man in front of him, "Is it just a simple guest?" he mustered up the courage to ask.

"What do you think?" asked the legendary mage, expressionless.

I think I'd better stay in hell. Barrett looked at Kreese in confusion, who smiled, "Don't worry, my teacher is just joking." ”

Really? I didn't notice!, Barrett squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Humor can increase people's longevity, young people, you have to learn this trait. A gentle smile appeared on the legendary mage's face, "My second wife married me because of my sense of humor, her name is ...... , sorry, I forgot, a thousand years can make you forget many things, including love. ”

Such words made Barrett relax a lot, but what Master Timos said next made him involuntarily lift his heart.

"You ought to tell me at least one thing, young man, though. The legendary mage stared at the soul fire in the barbarian's skull, "Are you alive or have you long since died?" ”

"I am a living man. Barrett said word by word, "It's just that you can become an undead, and you can change back again." ”

"Oh, creatures that can transform between life and death, interesting, interesting, this multiverse is always full of unexpected surprises!" the old man pinched Barrit's chest, "I take back my joke and sincerely invite you to my mage tower as a guest." ”

"Uh...... Let me think, Master Timos, let me think. Barrett felt like the fire in her soul was about to go out.

"I suggest that we get out of here and talk about it. The little mage threw Barrett a set of clothes, "Here you go, it's okay to be naked in hell, it's not good to go back to the main material world." Then he pointed to the dead primeval dragon and asked, "Do you want me to help you put away the loot?"

"Is this mine?" Barrett wasn't sure. He only knew that the opponent's weapons and equipment could go to the victors, as for the corpses...... You know, this is an ancient dragon!

"Let's take it first, if the devil's rules don't allow it...... , and then again. The little mage pressed his hand on the dragon's head, took a deep breath, and instantly collected the entire white dragon into the spatial ring, "Hey, if my spiritual power wasn't strong enough, I really wouldn't be able to accept this big guy." He wiped the sweat from his forehead that wasn't there.

"Thank you. Barrett put on his pants. "Is it easy to go back to our world?"

"We can only take a boat when we come, but we can take a teleportation circle when we go back. "Do you have anything else to take care of here?" and it is not so easy to get out and come in again. ”

......

The City of Dis, the 'Soul Song' tavern.

The Night Ghost 'Melly Leffy' sits in the tavern, waiting for her chance. She had learned from the tavernkeeper that the gladiator she had agreed with had won the tenth match, and had managed to break free from the arena and gain her precious freedom.

Will he keep his promise? Because it was only a non-binding verbal agreement, and the two parties were only strangers who did not trust each other when they met for the first time.

Words are like the wind, some can pull up the giant tree, and sometimes nothing is left after it floats away.

Maybe I should find a way to get out of Dis City on my own, Melly thought so more than once. But the cost of leaving was too expensive for her, and if Merry didn't collect souls for the devils, she couldn't make up that amount.

But she didn't want to do that, not at all. Merry doesn't think she's very kind, but she's worried that if she does, she may never be able to return to humanity if she uses the Night Ghost's unique abilities to lure souls into depravity.

However, although she didn't have much money, the gladiator had a thousand souls.

The door to the tavern opened, and Melly looked hopefully to the side, only to find that it was three heavily armed orcs and a tall minotaur entering, dressed in uniform leather armor that looked like thugs of some kind of consortium. When the orcs came in, they noisily asked if there was anything to eat, making the quiet tavern much more noisy.

Melly withdrew her gaze and continued to wait. It was already the third day after the gladiatorial battle ended, and the gladiator didn't want to leave the city of Dis?

Maybe I should accept my new identity and be an evil ghost woman like a cruel mother. Melly thought bitterly. But she was really unwilling, she didn't want that kind of life.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was opened again, and a young man in a black robe walked in.

Alas, no! Melly's heart became more and more disappointed. But the moment she turned back, she caught a glimpse of the figure that was unfamiliar, but made her think about it day and night.

The gladiator, he was right behind the young man in the black robe!Merry stood up excitedly, and then sat down again. Did he really come for me? She was a little unsure.

Just as Melly was nervous, the gladiator and the young man walked up to her, "I'm here to fulfill my promise." The gladiator said indifferently, "I hope you can complete your part as promised." ”

"I will. Melly tried to calm her ugly voice as much as she could, "But as I've said before, it will take some time. She wasn't lying, the devil's mark on her soul was extremely difficult to erase, but it just so happened that her ghost mother was quite involved in this aspect.

Her mother and the other eight ghost women had spent a lot of time and energy studying this, but the purpose was certainly not to help mortals get rid of the demon's control, but to intercept the fallen souls that originally belonged to the owners of the mark in this way.

This is actually a small part of a larger conspiracy, and that conspiracy involves several Devil Grand Dukes and Dukes of Hell in the Nine Prisons of Bato, including the Lord of Dis. Although the conspiracy ultimately failed, the method of erasing the mark was written down by Melly. It's just that she's never used it, and I don't know if it will really work.

"Yes. The gladiator nodded, "I'm not in a hurry for the time being, so you have plenty of time to perfect." After he finished speaking, he looked at the young man next to him.

"I heard you want to turn back into a human? Maybe I can help you. The young man smiled at her, his smile full of confidence.

"You, help me, you're a mage. Melly spotted the seven-pointed star on the other party's robes, "How can I help?" she asked cautiously.

"We don't have a way to do it now, but we can study it slowly. "As the proverb goes, 'There is no road in this world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.'" ’”

Melly had never heard such a proverb, but she felt it made sense.

"Also, because you are a ghost woman, after returning to the main material world, you need to live in the city-state of Mulya for a while, and only after we are sure that you are really not a threat will we give you freedom, do you agree?" the young man asked again.

If they don't agree, they obviously won't take themselves back. Melly nodded reluctantly.

"Very well, since you agreed, then this one is for you, wear it around your neck. The young man took out another strange necklace and handed it to Melly, "I would like to remind you that the shape of this necklace is my own design, you can take it with you to see the effect." He said expectantly.

"Why are you wearing this?" asked Melly, wary.

"This thing serves two purposes, the first one is to supervise you. As for why supervision is needed, I don't think it needs much explanation. "And the second function is to use special illusions to change your appearance." As for why it was changed, I don't think it needs to be explained too much. ”

The second one worked well, really well! Melly was disgusted with the way she was. She looked down at the necklace in her hand, the main body of which was made of black metal hexagonals of unknown material spliced one by one, and in the center of the necklace, a large, dazzling ruby was also inlay.

No way, everything has a price. Melly made up her mind and placed the strange necklace around her neck, the scarlet gem covering her throat.

Then, a fiery sensation flowed from the jewel in her throat to her body, and Melly raised her hand to find that the clothes on her body had turned red.
