Woods, inside a dilapidated wooden house.

This cabin in the woods, once the 'secret base' of Sulu and Rhodes' childhood, has long been abandoned.

Sulu is dressed in black robes and lights candles, as if a legendary wizard is performing evil black magic.

"Take me...... In the name of Sulu Botley! ”

"Command all the spirits here!"

"Obey my orders!"

……

He recited incantations in the ancient Hebrew language, sprinkled rosemary and other spice powders around the surroundings, and dripped various perfumes into his candles to create a spiritually adapted atmosphere.

Tens of seconds later, the white salt on the ground was suddenly discharged, and several footprints appeared.

A scene that can scare ordinary people to death is ordinary in Su Lu's eyes.

He looked at the spirits that came to him, many of them were in a mess of glowing jellyfish and other forms, and only a few remained in human form.

One of them turned out to be in full human form, dressed in a lumberjack's costume, as well as jeans and leather boots.

The footprints on the ground are what they step on.

"Keep an eye on the Potterly family's mansion, as well as Warnotown, and notify me immediately if there is any situation!"

Sulu quickly commanded, and when he saw the spirits disperse, he reversed the ritual.

"Exploring the spiritual realm does not have to go deeper, but also flattening the use of the 'special' ...... of each layer of the spiritual realm"

In the past few days, he has explored the dream spirit world, and found that he has either found nothing, or it is easy to encounter danger, and his progress has stalled for a while, so he can only turn to other aspects.

The impulse of the spirit is one of them.

With his current rank, as well as the [Medium's] Spirit Affinity bonus, it is enough to control the low-level spirits in a certain area and let them do some simple work.

After all, even the lowest-level spirits are difficult for ordinary people or low-level professionals without special preparation to see, and they are the best monitors who can obtain a lot of information.

Of course, if you have the ability to drive them and communicate with them.

"Actually...... The undead spirit of the lumberjack just now has reached the level of the first order, and it can even drive it to fight...... It's a pity that it's not of much use. ”

Sulu sensed that pros shouldn't just focus on combat.

There are still many unsolved mysteries in this world to explore, and even if you specialize in a certain discipline or serve the society with extraordinary strength, you can get good results.

"For example, I just like the simple feeling of exploring the spiritual world, and the power to gain self-preservation, and the biggest goal is to find my way home through the spiritual world......"

"Of course, there are some particularly evil professions that simply cannot coexist with ordinary people, such as the [Fallen] and the [Necromancy]...... There are also undead types that generally harbor a grudge against humans, or need humans as advancement material......"

……

Next.

When Sulu once again summoned the spirits that were wandering this part of the real world, there was a reward.

A spirit described to him in a confused tone that there was a big man who had entered the Potterley family's mansion.

"It seems...... Is Rhodes coming? ”

Sulu didn't show up immediately, but let the lumberjack's spirit observe again.

The Lumberjack's Spirit soon returned, telling Sulu that there was one more person in the place he had agreed to leave in ciphertext, similar in size and description to Rod.

"It's finally here."

Sulu's eyes lit up and he set off on his way to the edge of a dark forest mine.

There, there was already a tall white man with a tall figure and well-defined facial features waiting.

He glanced at it, and his pupils turned pitch black, which made Sulu's heart flutter.

Fortunately, that color faded quickly, and a lively anger appeared on Fang Muran's face: "Sulu...... Welcome back! ”

Rhodes strode forward and gave Sulu a bear hug.

"Thanks, was that?"

Confirming that the person in front of him was indeed Rod, Sulu let out a long sigh and asked with some confusion.

"It is the 'Demon Hunting Pupil' unique to the third order, which allows me to better discover demons and some supernatural things, such as unjust spirits, evil spirits, and fierce spirits...... Or maybe the little ones who followed me just now. ”

A smile squeezed out of Rod's stiff face: "You've become stronger!" ”

"Yes, I've gained some 'adventures', and I'm also a third-order professional......"

As for what the strange encounter was, Su Lu didn't say, and Rhodes didn't ask, but his expression was slightly surprised, his mouth opened wide, and he obviously couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly changed the topic: "Are you going to live in the wild?" Worried about danger at home? ”

"Yes, after all, there is still the Black Death Society!"

Sulu smiled bitterly.

Although I don't know when it began, this organization has been declining in the ranking of its own enemies.

"Corpse Princess...... Beatrice ...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

Rod frowned: "I heard the news...... She has been promoted to the fourth-order [Undead], is a Class-A felony wanted by the Federation, and holds a certain amount of power in the Black Death Society. ”

This hidden danger left by the original black magic is becoming more and more difficult to solve.

"Yes...... I just hope she doesn't get to the legendary rank too soon! ”

Sulu smiled, "It's a good thing that this step will hold her for a long time." Until then, we'd keep ourselves hidden, and I'd prepared enough food and light wine in the cabin in the woods......"

The fifth-order [King of the Undead] is not so easy to break through.

Legendary Professional, in the period of Ragnarok, is the heavenly moat of the transcendents of the Old and New Worlds!

Even if the gods dawn now, the transcendent revival and the spiritual tide arrive, it will not be easy to be promoted!

However, once Beatrice was promoted and cursed with a fifth-order personality, Sulu at this time would not be able to resist at all.

"Hmm...... Hopefully it's still the same ......."

Rhodes' eyes lit up with nostalgia.

……

At night, a bonfire is lit outside the cabin in the woods, and a barbecue grill is built on top.

Sulu carefully brushes honey and other seasonings on the grilled meat with a brush, and the hot gravy is trapped in the tender meat, and the juice splashes everywhere when you bite into it, with an amazing aroma and taste.

"Gollum...... Gollum ......"

Rhodes drank beer and ate barbecue, and exclaimed, "Sulu, your craftsmanship is really good...... More fragrant than the meat in the bar. ”

“…… I had been studying and researching at Fort Greentree, but when the Inner Ring was attacked, I left the ...... What about you? ”

Sulu sat down around the fire and asked about Rhodes' recent experience with some curiosity.

He recounted his experience, of course, and must have concealed what he did later in the mask.

"I'm just going to make it easy...... Since rescuing that Sean and being saved by the teacher again, he has followed him to hunt demonic creatures, exchange merits, and be promoted to the third rank ......"

Rod's face, which had always been very arrogant, suddenly became gloomy: "But...... After being promoted to the third-order [Demon Hunter Expert], my heart was confused like never before......"
