Ulysses, thousands of miles away, did not know that he was in serious trouble, and now he was making final preparations for a trip to the south.

Sufficient food, water, clothing, communication with the Southern Church of the High God, historical information on the discovery of the temple where the mythical gem of Hades appeared, and the route of travel, all of which should be taken into account.

Fortunately, after learning the news, the Ana family, who had always been friendly with the Apostolic Order, provided considerable help, not only helping to contact the personnel of the Southern Church, but also deliberately giving him the name of the "Radiant Academy Research Group", turning the operation into an academic activity that could receive official help, and it was recorded in the Academy.

In this way, it means that he takes the initiative to participate in the extracurricular internship activities carried out by the college, instead of skipping classes and asking for leave, not only will not reduce the credits, but can also increase a lot after returning.

For these timely helps, Ulysses is naturally very grateful. In the unfamiliar southern tribal areas, the help of the church is, of course, many times stronger than without.

The temple where the mythical gem of Hades was found was actually one of the branches under the Southern Church, and unlike the rest of the continent, the religious relationship of the Southern Church was very complicated.

Immortal birds, giant serpents, flames, and beliefs in the tribal regions are varied, and although the existence of the supreme god has been nominally recognized, the specific nature of each tribe is still dominated by the ancient witch inheritance physique.

The shrine maidens who are in charge of battles and the shrine maidens who are in charge of prayer are the foundation of the entire Southern Church, which is very different from the rest of the continent, where priests are the main body.

Although he was born in the southern region, the village of Mira, where Ulysses grew up, is not a tribal area, but a small village on the border of Taya, a subject state of Sophia, and it is a very pure religious village.

What the church in the tribal areas was like, Ulysses had only seen it in books, but it was a witch from the tribal areas, and he knew two.

They are all excellent shrine maidens, Briditt who fights with teddy bears, known as a genius shrine maiden that is rare to see in a thousand years, and Phil, who has the power of the immortal bird Phinicos in her body, are all his friends.

It's a pity that not long ago, Fei'er, who came to Guanghui Academy as a temporary teacher, urgently returned to the south for some reason and could not serve as a guide for this operation.

"It's finally done!" Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief after painstakingly completing his plan of action.

After checking again, and feeling that he had taken all the situation into account, Ulysses began to be eager to leave early.

The mood of resurrecting Yulia has not weakened because of the passage of time, but has become more longing. The miracle of the masquerade party created by the Star Messengers and the Wind Fish greatly stimulated Ulysses, making him feel his heart's desire so desperately.

Yuria, his biggest scar, the man he failed to protect. When he saw Yulia's body being occupied by Lala, that despair, that fear, he could never forget.

At that time, he was too weak, so he could only watch the tragedy happen in front of him, and he couldn't do anything.

The shot fired by Lala cut off all his illusions, and the cold blade of the gun told him the truth he didn't want to imagine more clearly than anyone else.

The first love he longed for, he killed her sister with his own hands and seized her body.

Therefore, there is no forgiveness, no forgiveness, even if the memories are shattered, as long as he sees the figure of the hero he once imagined, he can no longer control himself.

The flames of hatred did not subside in his heart until he killed Lara by the sea with his own hands and found the possibility of resurrecting Yuria from Aya.

Everything between him and Lara, with the shooting of the Dark Grail, finally disappeared into his heart.

Now he only needs to think about Yulia's affairs, no matter how much effort he has to put in, he will definitely bring her back.

Tossing and turning, Ulysses couldn't sleep. What to do after getting the Immortal Mythical Gem, the recipe for the experiment, the remaining precious materials needed to make Alice, all kinds of excited thoughts haunted him, and he became more and more excited.

No, no, it's not good to go on like this. Tomorrow is the departure process, which is a farther journey than the city of Taji, and there are many dangerous places to pass, and there may be fighting, so you must rest.

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...... Insomnia, Ulysses began to count sheep.

White sheep, beautiful sheep, unclothed sheep, obedient sheep, all kinds of sheep passed by Ulysses's mind, but they did not arouse his pajamas in the slightest.

"Boom!" a slight voice came from the quiet room, interrupting Ulysses, who counted three hundred sheep.

Ulysses opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the voice came with some confusion. The voice wasn't far away, it was supposed to be in his room.

However, he was 100% sure that there was absolutely no one else in his room.

For a minute, two minutes, three minutes, Ulysses carefully perceived everything in his room, but found no clue.

Probably just misheard, probably just the sound of a heartbeat, Ulysses closed his eyes again and began to count the sheep.

Three hundred and one, three hundred and two, three hundred and three...... "Knock! knock!" The voice sounded again, and this time Ulysses was sure that it was definitely not an illusion.

"It's here!" Ulysses fixed his gaze on the corner of the room—the huge closet.

However, Ulysses remembered that the closet had been locked and had never been opened since he lived here. Normally, it is used to put quilts or clothes, but because he didn't find the key, and there was no need, he never opened it.

But now, that strange sound is coming from inside.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The third time, this time with a shorter interval and a clearer sound, as if something was about to come out of it.

However, in Ulysses' perception, there was nothing in that closet.

This kind of thing is by no means unusual, and being able to invade this distance without being detected by Ulysses shows that the thing in it has some special ability.

"Knock! knock!" the sound from the closet grew louder and louder, and the entire cabinet shook slightly.

Now, Ulysses could no longer ignore it. Obviously, something was about to come out of it, and he still couldn't detect it at this distance, indicating that what might be coming out was very dangerous.

With a sword, clean and clean, without the slightest hint of mud and water, Ulysses cut the lock that had failed to find the key.

The door to the closet opened, however, Ulysses did not see anything strange.

This closet is empty.

Ulysses looked at the entire closet, and there was really nothing, not even dust. It looks like this closet has been locked for a long time.

The question is, since there is nothing in this, how did the voice come out just now?

"Boom!" Ulysses was puzzled when the same voice sounded again, right next to him.

It couldn't be closer, it could be said that it was almost ringing in his ears. If it were an enemy, this distance would have been enough to inflict a fatal blow on Ulysses.

Realizing this, Ulysses swung his sword in an instant, stabbing accurately at the point where the sound came from.

However, there was nothing, the sword only slashed into the air, and it was clear that the sound came from that point, but the point itself was nothing.

"Not here?" Ulysses confirmed that his sword was absolutely not mistaken, and that the voice was indeed coming from that point.

But it was also true that there was nothing there, as if the voice was coming from another world.

Ulysses hadn't encountered anything like this before, but it was the first time he had encountered a ghost like this, which was so close that he couldn't see it at all.

I can't see it, I can't touch it, even if the abyss is cut off, there is no sense of substance, only the voice keeps appearing.

"Knock!knock!" like a curse from an evil spirit, the voice sounded again, in the same position as before.

This time, though, there were more voices.

"Woooooooooo......oo Open the door......"

The sound is very pitiful, but it is also very pleasant, like a little bird chirping.

Ulysses will not forget this voice, speaking of which, there have been similar things before, but the owner of this voice was locked up in the holy ark.

Did you change to an invisible air cabinet this time?," Ulysses thought with a smile, and then touched the place where the voice came from with his hand.

It's incredible, it's really nothing, and I confirmed this with my sword, but when I touch it with my hand, there is a faint warmth.

It was the taste of his sister, the smell of the girl who awakened Ulysses' past and brought him back to this world when his memory was lost and he was at a loss for the future.

"Is that you? Annie. ”

"It's me, it's me, brother, open the door, it's so dark, it's so dark!" the voice from the other side of the door sounded like it was about to cry, especially after hearing Ulysses's voice.

"Okay. I don't know why, just hearing this voice, the fatigue and stress that had accumulated recently were all blown away in an instant, and Ulysses, with a soft smile, groped for the invisible door in the air, and then tried the spell to open the door.

"Open Sesame!"

"In the name of the deepest darkness, open the gates of hell. ”

"The gates of heaven, open for me!"
