Early the next morning, Somla drove into Diya with a large group of men. Gu Shiyu, Tanan, York, and Gabriel left the army and took a different road to Southbandar Castle.

As soon as they entered Dia, everyone felt a biting chill on their bodies. The castle of the dead exuded a thick dark canopy, almost obscuring the entire sky, and the sun, moon and stars in the sky were completely gone.

There's no daylight here, it's all gloomy. Trees that have lost sunlight have long since died and are standing bare. Strange-shaped rocks, crouching in the depths of the darkness, like mandrills with teeth and claws, ready to pounce.

I couldn't hear the whispering of autumn insects, and even the wind was still. Stepping on the dead grass frozen with the ice will make a clear crunch sound from time to time. Although the sound was not loud, in this dead ghost place, the echo of this extremely faint sound could almost be heard colliding on the stone wall in the distance. From time to time, a few ghosts would float by, staring in front of them.

"Leave it alone! They won't hurt us. Tanan whispered to Gabriel and Lucifer, who were waving vigorously to chase away the ghost.

"Road...... Sifa, I ...... I'm not going!" Little Jasmine's face turned pale, her big eyes looked around, and her body trembled.

Everyone stopped.

Lucifer took her hand and it felt like he was holding a piece of ice.

"Are you uncomfortable, Jasmine?"

"I ...... Feeling very, very uncomfortable......"

"Lucifer, you go back with Jasmine!" Gu Shiyu commanded.

"But Brother Gu Zi, your trip is very dangerous, and my responsibility is to guard your side, how can you go back alone when you are in danger?" Lucifer was in a dilemma.

"You can go with confidence, Jasmine needs to be taken care of. There are so many of us, it's going to be fine!"

"I ...... I was able to go back alone. Jasmine whispered.

Everyone looked at Lucifer, but Lucifer stubbornly said, "I am a warrior, how can a warrior escape from the battle?"

"You think she's running away?" said Ressa angrily, "Don't you see her body shaking?

Seeing that Lucifer hung his head and remained silent, Renesa became even more angry: "You are simply a stupid pig! Forget it, if you don't go back with her, I'll go back!"

"Please take care of her......"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! you go be your hero!" Resa gave Lucifer a blank look, helped Jasmine and turned away.

"Be careful yourself!" instructed Gabriel.

"I know......" Resa immediately raised her little face and smiled at Gabriel.

Everyone watched as the backs of the two gradually disappeared in the darkness before continuing to move forward.

"Lucifer, what the hell do you think? You should have done something wrong about this!" Gu Shiyu criticized Lucifer and said, "When she needs you the most, as a man...... Uh, as a boy, you have to be by her side!"

Lucifer's answer made everyone laugh and cry: "Brother Gu Zi, you are the most noble idol in my heart, and I will never leave you for half a step! As a hero, I should not have any children's affection, but should be like you, to do bigger and more meaningful things!" He also added: "Take you as an example, you and Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine get together less and leave more, doesn't she understand and support you very much? If Jasmine really likes me, I think she should be like the same!"

"I don't think she will support and understand you!" Gu Shiyu scratched her head and said: "I guess she will ignore you in anger, let you say a hundred or a thousand good words, and even want to kneel down and beg her! Let me be honest with you, Princess Catherine will support me on the surface in front of everyone, but she often twists me and pinches me behind her back...... I think women are all the same, and the difference is not too big. ”

Tanan and York both laughed.

"But shouldn't heroes sacrifice their own happiness?

"I know you really want to be a hero, and so is Gabriel!" Gu Shiyu explained, "But heroes are not so easy...... You don't just see the halo above the hero's head, there is a lot of sadness and helplessness behind them. Let me ask you again, what are you trying so hard to live for?

Gabriel and Lucifer nodded vigorously.

"You're wrong! We work hard for the happiness of our family and friends! I'm not as noble as you think, and I'm not even happy to be a hero! Alas, I tell you that you don't understand either, but I'm sure you'll understand slowly. ”

"Brother Gu Zi, are you friends with Gabriel?"

"Of course, I treat you not only as friends, but also as my brothers!"

"Adults say that brothers and friends are for life, but a wife can be found at random. ”

"Oh my God, look at your head! Let me tell you, you must not look for a wife! When you fall in love with a woman, then you have to love and spoil her with all your might; if you dare to ignore her and not care about her, she will torment you for the rest of your life, you know? When you are slumped in bed and about to die, it is your wife who stays by your side and cries! You know the importance of your wife...... Maybe there will be friends who can do this, but I'm sure it's definitely not many!"

"But brothers and friends will die on the battlefield with you!"

"Hey, it looks like I'm not going to die in a hospital bed, I'm not going to die on the battlefield, I'm going to be pissed off in this damn place!

"Guzi, they will understand slowly. Tanan smiled, "We were also young. When I was very young, one of the things I thought about the most was to be a glorious warrior or magician, and even to be an evil dark knight and necromancer, and definitely not to be an ordinary farmer or shepherd. But the god of fate has led me down an uneventful path, and now even if I soak in wine all day, I can't regain my childhood dreams. ”

Now that they have a dream, they have a goal to move forward. York also said: "When a person loses his goal, then that person will be dizzy and will eventually achieve nothing." ”

"Speaking of heroes, you two little bastards haven't even gotten the tinder so far!" Gu Shiyu glared and said: "So please don't call yourself heroes in the future! Do whatever you want, I'm like an ordinary person now!"

"Brother Guzi, look at that!" Gabriel pointed excitedly ahead.

In the distance, in the dead wood forest, several flames of different colors floated.

"Ghost fire?"

"Probably not...... The ghost fire on the Undead Knight's body is fluorescent white, and does not have red or brown ...... That should be the ownerless Heroic Tinder, right?" Tanan was well-informed and immediately distinguished.

"Great!" said Gabriel and Lucifer at once jumped like rabbits and ran forward.

"Hey, I said slow down!"

By the time Gu Shiyu, Tanan, and York arrived, they had already inhaled a fire each.

In the dead woods, there were many white and miserable bones, and there were many fragments of weapons scattered around.

"This should be the battlefield of yesteryear!" York said, "These wandering sparks may be the heroic spirits of dead heroes......"

"You mean, the tinder is something from a dead man?" Gu Shiyu was startled. There are two tinders in his body, and I don't know where they are hiding now...... Maybe when they become a skeleton themselves, they will run out of their own accord!

Tanan looked at the two teenagers silently. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Congratulations on getting the fire! From now on, you can be said to be heroes...... Hope this is good for you guys!"

"Of course this is a good thing, Tanango! We will never fail to live up to the honor of heroes!" said Gabriel and Lucifer.

"This is the final destination of the heroes!, are you ready?" said York, pointing to the skeleton on the ground, his expression very serious.

"Yes, we are always ready!" said the two teenagers, puffing up their chests, following the example of the knights, and clasping their hands to their chests, "Courage and glory!"

"Courage and glory!"

The three adults also put their hands on their chests and solemnly swore an oath.

After walking for several days, they finally reached the outskirts of Sosbandar Castle. They leaned over the hill and opened their eyes to the castle of terror.

The black Sosbandar Castle is built in the valley and guards several major transportation routes. The undead warriors on the walls stood motionless, like statues, but they could see the glow of their bones and the flickering edge of their swords.

These terrifying undead warriors are painless, tireless, and needless food and water. They're walking corpses!

"The castle is located in the heart of the continent of Dia, it is an important town in Dia, through which you can reach anywhere in Dia. Five years ago, Wilmar the Necromancer led the Legion of the Undead to invade Dia, driving Duke Elares to the border and transforming the city into a castle of the dead. Before Sandru was loyal to the god of death, Bellerion, he came to the aid of Duke Elares on the orders of Eric, the high priest of the Holy Light Island, and finally eliminated Wilma, who knew that he himself would actually become an even more terrifying necromancer!"

Everything that happened in this world, Tanan seemed to be very clear, which made Gu Shiyu admire it very much. He didn't have the heart to remember so many boring things.

"How do you know so many things, Tanango?" and Gabriel and Lucifer admired.

"After I was expelled from the Titan continent by the high priests of Bracada, I have been exiled all over the world for nearly thirty years, and I basically know the customs and customs of each place. ”

"Ah...... How old do you have to be?" Gu Shiyu was taken aback. It looks like Tanan is as old as him and York, but I never thought he was a little old man.

"I'm from the elven race, so of course I live much longer than humans. I'm almost fifty years old, and I'm just a young man for an elven race. ”

Gu Shiyu shook his head. What else can he say besides envy, jealousy, and hatred? Fortunately, having him by his side is equivalent to having a history or geography book, and you can ask him if you don't understand anything, which seems to be good.

Suddenly, there was a creepy scream from the castle. It sounded like the last breath a person had before he died, but it was hundreds of times louder!

I saw a huge bone dragon rising from the sky in the city. It flapped its glowing bony wings and circled over the castle. The crowd immediately leaned down and held their breath.

A black shadow could be seen riding on the back of the bone dragon. I saw it fly around the castle a few times, and then flapped its wings and flew into the distance.

"That's Sandru! Someone had seen this bone dragon in Bracada, and Sandru had ridden it and kidnapped Abigail's family. ”

"Where did he go? Why didn't you see his army dispatched?"

"Let's just wait here! When his army leaves the city, it's a signal that Eric and Somra have started to move, and we can sneak into the city to save people!"

"Tanan, I want to ask you, when you were competing on the Holy Light Island, there were top guardian warriors in the towns of all races, such as the human archangel, the elven race had the titan giant, the witch clan had the hydra, the elemental people had the fire phoenix, the dwarves had the golden dragon, and now Sandru had the terrible bone dragon...... Why can't I see an archangel in the human castle of Erathia?"

"Some say that the gods have abandoned Erathia and no longer sent archangels to guard the land. It is also said that the gods of heaven have called back all the archangels on earth to defend the heavenly court against the invasion of hellish demons. I don't know exactly what that is. However, it is said that if the lost artifacts scattered around the world are recovered, the archangels may return to visit this land. ”

"I see!" Gu Shiyu lay on the cold ground and was distracted. There were exactly a few pieces of the Heavenly Divine Weapon in his Qiankun bag, which he had curiously bought after his victory in the Holy Light Island Competition. He had thought it was just an ancient statue, but he didn't know it was so useful.
