Wood opened his eyes, and he was standing on the bank of a river. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He wanted to go back, but he couldn't move, as if some force was resisting him to go back.

Then he began to look at the river, and with his eyesight, and the moonlight, he could not see the edge of the river after all.

He sensed something and smiled bitterly.

This is the Styx of those ancient books...... I didn't expect it to exist.

There were a few corpses floating on the dark surface of the river, and they must have been people who had just died.

From a distance, a small boat suddenly appeared and slowly rowed towards him.

The boat rowed to a stop next to a corpse, and the boatman scooped the body out of the water and put it on the boat.

The oars continued to ripple the calm river, and eventually, the small wooden boat came to the shore.

He finally saw the boatman's appearance, dressed in old cloth and wearing a hideous mask on his face. From the hand holding the oars, it can be seen that the boatman's skin is somewhat morbidly pale.

"Who are you?" and the mask did not match the mask at all, and a somewhat immature boy's voice came out.

The sound is clean and free of a trace of impurities.

"Wood Inz. Wood gave his name directly.

The boy hesitated, but unfortunately he couldn't tell his expression because of the mask.

Then, he took out a notebook and began to flip through it, and after a while, looked up again.

"There is no such name. He was also very puzzled, it was the first time he had encountered this situation after doing this business for so long.

He thought for a moment, then pointed his hands to the left and right sides of the river, and asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Wood looked to the left, then to the right, and finally to the mask: "The completely deserted riverbank, the same as the one under my feet." ”

The boy stiffened, and it took a while for him to hold the oars again.

"If you don't see Manju Sawa, it means you're not qualified to cross the River Styx. In his eyes, countless petals like blood bloomed on the bank of the river, like fire.

It illuminates his way home, and guides dead souls to the netherworld.

The boy began to slide the oars, his work was not yet finished.

"Wait, talk to me, I'm bored. Wood actually understood what he meant, but it seemed to ...... He's not dead yet?

The mood is a little relaxed, it's good that he didn't die, after all, there are still two little girls who have signed a contract with him.

"I'm very busy, I'll pick you up when you die. The boy frowned under the mask.

Wood stretched out his hand and hurriedly said, "Don't!" and stopped the boy again.

He'd be bored alone in this barren place, and the devil knows how long.

"I've said my name, and you can tell me about it. He opened the topic with a cheeky grin.

The boy had obviously not experienced this and began to hesitate.

"We don't have a name here, but my friends call me Xiaobai. With that, the boy began rowing and left the riverbank.

He was really busy as a boatman!

If he could, he didn't want so many souls piled up together, and it didn't look beautiful at all.

But! With so many deaths every day, they really don't have enough manpower!

As soon as Wood wanted to scream, Xiaobai dropped the last sentence.

"When I'm done, I'll come over and chat with you if I'm free. After that, he continued to go to the river to retrieve the body.

After hearing this, Wood thought for a moment, and then called out to the departing wooden boat, "Xiaobai, do you know how I can go back?"

But there was no reply, and I don't know if Xiaobai heard it.

Bored, Wood stopped standing and sat down on the floor, ready to rest.

Manju Sawa The Flower of the Other Side? This underworld is really emotional. Well, second only to him.

Think about why it looks so much like a dog's name.

"Hahahaha......" Wood laughed and began to roll on the ground.

If Xiaobai is still here, he will definitely think that this is a fool.

......

"Hmm...... Is this?" Charles seemed to find something as he probed Wood's body.

"It turns out that he has been able to survive until now by relying on this demonic bloodline. He sighed, and pulled a tube of blood from Wood's arm.

After a moment's hesitation, Charles still dropped a drop of blood into his mouth.

As a doctor, he must be aware of the patient's physical condition.

After drinking the blood, he felt his heart beat faster, his body became hot, and then his pupils widened, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed out.

Maika, who was working as an assistant on the side, seemed a little overwhelmed, he was still too young.

But the experienced Charles understands that this is a devouring between demons!

If he continues like this, he will fall into the abyss, and eventually be turned into a real demon by this blood. Without any hesitation, he directly took out a bottle of green wizard potion and drank it in a big gulp.

After a while, Charles was lying on the ground, and after the torture he had just had, he looked a little tired, and smiled at McCar, who was beside him.

"This companion of yours has a really high-level bloodline. Then he got up from the ground with some difficulty.

"It's a good thing, and I'm much more sure of it with this help. Charles's words made McCar smile, and the smile made him a little happy.

It feels good to do good!

"Actually, wizards can also save people. "He, who is in a good mood, as a senior, plans to teach this rookie wizard something.

"For example, this time, you have to ...... first when you encounter this situation"

......

The third stage, the final level. Inside a huge arena.

"Catherine!" a brave man shouted to his companion.

A huge ice wolf appeared behind the silver-haired girl and opened its huge jaw to bite down.

Catherine was ready, her loose black mage robes began to dance in the wind, and her body flew into the sky.

This is the levitation technique she mastered in the second stage.

Begin chanting spells in the air, ready to give the ice wolf a hard blow.

As one of the bosses of the final level, the ice wolf naturally does not sit still, and uses magic to condense its wings and also fly into the sky.

With human intelligence, it understands that in team fights, enemy mages must be the highest priority.

Catherine's flight speed was obviously not as fast as that of the Icewolf, but she was not panicked either, and continued to reload her spells.

On the other side, Cisna was facing a flaming wolf, and a male priest behind her was constantly adding to the state.

"Mumu and Bit will go to Catherine's aid first, and I'll hold this little kitten down. With a contagious smile, she gave the battle order as the captain.

The priest and the witch looked at each other, then turned their heads and began to deal with the wolf.

The smiling Hisna was shrouded in holy light and raised her golden greatsword.

Then, the Holy Knight charged at the monstrous Flame Wolf.

Let's have a heads-up game!

Seeing that the ice wolf in the sky was about to catch up with Catherine, the priest did not hesitate, and a glorious cage restrained the ice wolf.

Catherine's spell was almost ready, and she continued to rise into the sky, so that it would not affect her companions at a high place.

The restless element of magic in the air made the Icewolf sense something, and he bit the wall of light with his sharp teeth, flapping his wings desperately to stop the spell.

It's getting closer and closer to the mage, and the enemy has come into range, opening its huge jaws and firing the ice cannon!

Catherine's black mage robe began to appear magical, and as a superb-level robe it comes with a skill of its own, that is, teleportation!

The ice-blue cannon shot through the clouds, and the remnants of the magical elements made the entire arena a little cold.

But those viewers are very high, the duel between the masters is the most gorgeous and beautiful!

Catherine looked condescendingly at the wolf's back, and the staff began to wave, like a painting pen, first drawing a circle, then a six-pointed star in the circle.

The Icewolf turned his head, roared, and stepped into the void to bite Catherine.

I haven't been able to drag this mage into melee combat, and it's so angry to use it to its advantage.

The circle that had been drawn began to glow with a cold glow, and a terrifying aura that seemed to devour everything appeared at the same time.

Everyone was stunned, and several magicians began to step forward to strengthen the magic barrier in the arena.

The Icewolf had no way to retreat, only to charge, either the mage died under its claws first, or it was blasted to pieces by the spell.

But humans have companions!

Several black chains appeared out of the void, binding the Icewolf's hind legs, giving Catherine a little more time.

Catherine finished her final preparations, looked at the blood-soaked eyes of the Icewolf, opened her mouth slightly, and said a few words.

"I'm sorry, goodbye. ”

"Ao!" the wolf, who knew the human language, knew what these words meant, and let out an unwilling howl.

The Flame Wolf, who was on the ground, knew that his brother was in trouble and wanted to rush into the sky to help, but was blocked by a giant sword.

"Your opponent is me, kitten!" said Sisna, who was becoming more and more courageous, and once again delivered a violent slash with her greatsword.

"Ao!" the flame wolf, unable to save his brother, also let out a howl of unwillingness, and it also felt the horror of the magic.

Catherine closed her eyes, she actually had a good impression of this wolf brother, but she couldn't help it, who called fate so ruthless.

Spell, launch!

The sky seemed to be afraid of this force, and it began to darken a little, and the atmosphere of the entire arena lost the enthusiasm just now, and seemed to be a little frozen.

The calm before the storm.

Then, blue flames poured out of the magic circle, drowning the Icewolf like a tidal wave.

"Ao !!" now the ice wolf feels very painful, although it is used to the cold, it has never experienced the feeling of being bitten by the flames at all.

The cold flames consumed first its fur, then its body, and finally, its soul.

But it was not reconciled, and with its last strength it pulled its body out of the flames and pounced on Catherine.

Even if it died, it wanted to take a mage to give its brother a better chance of victory.

At this time, the ice wolf no longer had the majesty it had just now, in addition to the rushing blood on its body, there were also naked wolf bones, and it seemed that it only had its last breath left.

Catherine frowned, and sighed in her heart that the final boss was really strong.

Don't dare to be careless, like the band commander, wielding his staff, directing the Stygian Flames to continue to wrap around the body of the Icewolf.

As if possessing wisdom, the Stygian first grabbed the wolf's hind legs so that it could no longer move forward, and then continued to devour the body of its prey.

The Icewolf didn't let out another howl, his eyes were full of sadness, and he glanced at his brother who was still fighting through the gap in the flames, and then his soul rang the last bell and fell from the flames.

It still failed after all.

The brother's corpse clearly stimulated the flame wolf, and it fought even more frantically with Cisna, which no longer thought about winning or losing, but was able to drag down a few enemies before dying.

As the duration of Catherine's levitation was about to expire, she slowly descended to the ground and commanded Stygian to help Sisna.

At this time, Cisna was in the mood, and waved her hand to Catherine in her busy schedule, and Catherine, who understood the meaning, stopped her "band".

At this time, the fire wolf was full of cut wounds, and blood was flowing all the time.

Cisna also looked a little embarrassed, the original gorgeous armor had become a little broken, and the wolf claws were still powerful.

The wounded fire wolf pounced again, and it was about to tear the woman apart.

The female knight blessed herself with a burning holy light, and without dodging, she faced the fire wolf head-on.

The wolf's claws directly shattered the guardian aura and hit the knight's armor hard, and Hisna's heart was surging, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth, but the movements in her hands did not stop at all.

The Golden Knight's Sword slashed down with the sound of the wind, and then blood gushed out, and a long, deep wound was cut on the abdomen of the huge fire wolf.

The fire wolf and the female warrior then separated, and neither of them let out a cry of pain.

The violent and direct scenes of the fighters stimulated every audience, and the adrenaline rush made them blush and began to applaud.

Although it is far less gorgeous than the Stygian Flame spell just now, this is the battle that the arena should have!

Hisna blessed herself with all the aura she could add to it, entered the strongest state, and then raised the knight's sword, leaned down slightly, and the next charge would decide everything.

The fire wolf had already bled too much because of the terrible wound on its abdomen, and its body and consciousness were exhausted, but when it thought it couldn't hold on, a sudden force suddenly allowed it to support its body again.

Maybe it's a blessing from its brother, or maybe it's a return to the light before death.

It also understood that it was the last swing of his claws.

The spectators stopped making noise and looked at the two people in the arena with bated breath, everyone knew that the battle would come to an end.

Then, both the female knight and the fire wolf let out a roar of rage, and their bodies rushed out in unison.

Both the greatsword and the wolf's claw have a chill and a determination to kill.

"Poof!" was a small voice that was harsh in the silence of the arena.

Blazing blood flowed from the armor. The wolf's paws were still hanging in the air, only a little distance from the brilliant blonde hair, but it could not move forward any further.

Because the golden greatsword pierced into the belly of the fire wolf, passed through the body, and pierced through the back.

The adventurers received a system prompt that they understood that the battle had been won.

Hisna slowly drew her sword, a few drops of blood splashed on her face, and there was some heat.

After drawing the sword completely, the fire wolf slowly fell to the ground. Hisna looked at the wolf eyes that still maintained her fighting spirit, and her mood was very complicated.

The spectators did not cheer for the winner, because there is a default rule in the world that at the end of the battle, no matter what the outcome is, there must be a moment of silence for the dead.

The warriors who went to the arena because they were chosen by fate are worthy of respect.

......

A few days later, the city of Kiel.

"Brother, stay still!" Betty looked at Wood with a serious expression like a nurse.

"Good, good. Wood smiled and said hello three times in a row, and then pointed to the bookshelf: "Take a copy of the "General History of the Mainland" to my brother." ”

Betty nodded, and obediently went over to get the book.

Wood turned his head, the warm sunlight shining through the window.

Today, Mr. Charles is about to embark on a journey again, and if there is a chance in the future, he must go to Yusai Castle to see him.

Then something came to mind, and the smile became a little complicated.

By the way, there are Jessica and Kenyat......

Outside the city of Kiel, Charles had just left the city gate on horseback.

"Maika, you can send it here. At this time, Maika was already half of his apprentice.

Maika's expression was very solemn, and he first bent down at 90 degrees and bowed very standardly, the first time in his life that he saluted someone else.

"Mr. Charles, thank you for saving my brother's life. In addition to gratitude, there was also adoration in his eyes.

"Also, my guidance has been very rewarding these days. "It's rare to see a prodigal son like Maika have such a serious time.

Charles waved his hand, smiled at Maika in the sun, and rode away, leaving one last word in the air.

"It's nothing, I just want to be a good person. ”

This sentence is simple on the surface, but the thoughtful Maika still realizes that there is a deep meaning.

It seems that everyone who has spent countless years has a story......

......

In the sun, a wizard in a good mood rode his horse and galloped down the avenue, facing a horse that was also running.

Charles saw the man on the horse and suddenly stopped.

The black-robed woman opposite also stopped.

"Is the senior from Kiel City?" the woman asked with a smile.

At this time, Charles no longer smiled, looked at the woman cautiously, did not answer the question, but said: "You give me a very bad feeling." ”

The woman's smile did not disappear: "Senior, you blame me, but I heard that there were people in Kiel City who were dying, and immediately rode on horses to save people!"

Charles filtered all the recent news on the mainland, who can be so good among the young people now, and then even thought that Reims City was not far from here, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "You are ...... Charlotte Lance?"

The woman didn't seem to notice the hostility in Charles's eyes, and slowly got off the horse and performed a very standard etiquette.

"Yes, I didn't expect my predecessors to hear my name, which really flattered the little one. ”

Charles's brow furrowed more and more, because even he couldn't see the reality of this woman.

took out the wizard's staff, if he was young, he would definitely kill this woman directly regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, but now he is different, he will think about more things, and no longer follow his mind.

Charlotte still smiled, as warm as the sun.

But it still couldn't warm Charles's heart......
