9. Enter the Black Knife Cemetery

Rumble~

The trees not far away were completely enveloped in flames.

The branches were all torn apart and scattered to the ground, continuing to burn.

Looking at this terrifying scene in front of her, Rodrica was dumbfounded, she thought that Mr. Ash was very powerful, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.

If they had been hunted by the Fader Hunter and had been able to meet Mr. Ash earlier, their companions wouldn't have been...

It's pointless to think so much, you have to live strong and live up to the sacrifices of your companions.

Rodrika stopped thinking and secretly strengthened her faith.

Benal, who was on the side, was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"You're the most gifted person I've ever met."

"There are many people who can learn combat skills quickly, but you are the first one who can join your own power like you."

"You can leave, there's nothing left to teach you."

After saying this, Bernal was about to return to the room, but as if suddenly he thought of something, he turned around again and said to the ashes seriously.

"Is this girl your guide witch?"

"Treat her well, or tragedy will await you ahead."

"Monsieur Bernal, you misunderstood, this is the girl I rescued on the road, and when I am going to meet Roger, I will send her to the gathering point of the round table."

"As for the guide witch you mentioned, she seems to have died before I woke up." Ash hastened to explain.

"I see, tragedy has happened, but fortunately you haven't gotten acquainted yet, which may be good news."

"In short, be kind to the people around you."

Looking at Benal's back, Ash was thoughtful, although he didn't know what happened to Bennal, he must be a man with a story.

Soon, all worries were diluted by the excitement of learning a new skill.

It turned out that when the ashes gathered the storm on the sword body, the embers in the body were hooked and began to run slowly with the storm. Finally, a trace of strength seeped out and joined the storm, and the situation just now appeared. It can be seen that the embers are slowly recovering, and even some force can be used. This also made Ash happy, and he had one more hole card, although the power that could be used was very subtle, but the embers were the power of creation after all.

Moving on, Rodrica carried the wolfskin on her back and followed closely behind the ashes.

From the Warriors, head to the Black Knife Graveyard marked on the map, and continue south, past Stoneville. Then continue along the lake where the Academy of Magic is located, from the shore. For the Academy of Magic, Roger also confessed that he tried not to set foot in that water, and heard that there were dragons hidden inside. The ashes, who are very cautious, will definitely not make the mistakes that only the protagonists of TV series will make, and since they have already known in advance that the area of the Magic Academy is dangerous, they immediately stay away.

It's just that the safe mountain road is a bit rough, and Ash is okay on his own, and Roger didn't expect that Ash would be able to pick up a girl halfway through. As a result, the trip slowed down by more than half. In this regard, Ash is not in a hurry, Roger has been waiting for so many days, and he doesn't care about these days or two.

There were quite a lot of small animals on the road, and it was enough for Ash to eat, and it wasn't until three days later that Ash took Rodrica to the mountain stream where the Black Knife Graveyard was located. In the distance, you can see a blue tent with a fire burning in front of it. When the two of them approached, Roger just got out of the tent and was about to joke when he saw the ashes, but when he saw Rodrica behind the ashes, he was a little puzzled.

"This, which young lady is this?"

"Her name is Rodrica, and she's a poor woman, and her companions are all hunted by Stoneville, and I'm going to have you send her to the Round Table gathering point."

Ash finished explaining to Roger, then turned to tell Rodrika.

"This is the friend I mentioned on the way, Roger the Magician, who will send you to the Round Table gathering point to settle down, and when we come back from our adventure, we will see you at the Round Table."

Rodrika hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Roger.

Roger understood the cause and effect, and he didn't delay it, so he asked Ash to wait in the camp for a while, and then pulled Rodrica, a teleportation spell, and disappeared in front of him.

Crackling, the firewood met the grease and began to burn violently.

After the ash rabbits were both roasted, Roger teleported back.

Hand the fragrant rabbit and signal Roger to eat it first, otherwise it won't be crispy.

Tearing off a piece of rabbit meat in a big mouth, ignoring the grease on the corners of his mouth, Roger began to speak.

"This little girl is really good, very polite, and at first glance she is from a noble background."

"It's just that she's a little timid, and it's just right to put it at the gathering point of the round table, so I handed her over to Fiya and asked her to help take care of it."

Ash didn't speak, nibbling on a rabbit leg and nodded.

Roger continued to speak: "I waited for two days, but I didn't see you, thinking that you were still learning combat skills from the Warriors. ”

"How's it going, is there a catch?"

"I have gained a lot, I have learned a trick, and now I am more sure to visit the grave."

"Bennal is actually quite easy to get along with, although he is taciturn, but it can be seen that he is a warm-hearted person."

"It's like, it seems that something has happened before."

"Before leaving, I mistook Rodrica for my witch and said something inexplicable."

"Oh, yes, I know a little bit about it."

"After the Broken War, I don't know what's going on, the heirs of the goddess, all hibernated."

"So, the Elden throne has been vacant, for the sake of stability."

"Supreme Will, send Two Fingers to train the Finger Witches to guide the Faded Ones who have regained their blessings."

"Let them fight, snatch, the Great Rune in the hands of the demigods, and finally repair the Elden Ring."

"Therefore, whoever can repair the broken ring will be the new king of Elden."

Speaking of this, Roger sighed.

"Bernal is also a faded man chasing Elden's throne, but unfortunately he is only one last step away from becoming king."

"The specific reason is not very clear, and Bernal is reluctant to mention this past."

"But, it should have something to do with his guide witch, after his defeat, everyone never saw his guide witch again."

"Bernal also sank because of this, and became a teacher of combat skills with a strange personality."

Is it related to witches, no wonder he reminds me of that look on his face when he hears that my witch is dead.

Another Igo?

This stinking world!

Guess what the ashes are, end the topic, not in words.

After Roger finished eating the rabbit, he wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and at this time Ash also stood up, and the two were ready to start the mission.

Putting down unnecessary things, Ash carries a longbow on his back, a crossbow hanging from his waist, a large shield in his left hand, and a sword in his right hand, and opens the way in front.

Roger casts a light spell on Ash, which follows him.

With the steps, the two of them gradually descended, with light spells, and the cave was as bright as day.

At the front of the tomb, Roger has already come, and the dangers and monsters have all been cleared.

In the second half, it was hindered by the continuous falling blades.

Looking at the three gate knives that traversed the entire tomb in front of him, Roger said excitedly.

"Last time it was here, these three sluice knives are not lethal, and they can dodge while they are falling."

"However, after passing through the gate, it is a dead end."

"Before I could explore, if there was a phantom wall, two small demons suddenly fell from the ceiling, and when the knife was 5 centimeters away from me, I instantly launched a teleportation spell."

"Okay, I see, this time you stay outside, I'll go in and have a look."

After saying that, Ash first threw the big shield over, and then took advantage of the gap between the falling knives to roll two times in a row, and he had already come to the other end.

Picking up the big shield and blocking it in front of him, the ashes advanced slowly, and when he came to the dead end, he looked up, and sure enough, two little demons were ambushing.

Ash inserted his sword into the handle of the shield, then took the crossbow from his waist in his right hand and aimed it at the head of the first imp, who had been slain with the sound of the bowstring trembling. At this time, Ash discarded his crossbow, drew his sword, and took advantage of the time when the second imp jumped down to stab through the second imp, nailing the second imp to the wall.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Roger also put down the magic model he had prepared in his hand, and then dodged the gate knife and came to the ashes.

The two then began to explore, with Roger sensing magic to see if there were any phantom walls. Ash used a bayonet sword, flicking back and forth, but no mechanism was found. Roger also shook his head, indicating that there was no phantom wall, and that this was the real dead end.

"Impossible, the clues given by Fiya shouldn't be fake, is there any other way here?"

"The catacombs usually have deceptive mechanisms to hide the true path and go back."

Ash seemed to think of something, and pulled Roger back to the other side of the knife.

"The gate blades are still running here, which means that there must be a device to control them, and there is a dead end inside, so let's search around here."

After some exploration, I still found nothing. Ash raised his sword, causing Roger to retreat, and a storm of fire swept through the chamber.

After being impacted, the gate knife deformed and stuck in mid-air, and then the left wall also collapsed, and sure enough, a hole appeared.

Ash stepped forward to investigate, first lighting the arrow, then shooting the longbow into the hole.

As the light of the fire shone on, there was another burial chamber inside.

The ash drilled through and pulled Roger over, and the light technique continued to work, only to be dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. Out of this burial chamber, in front of him was a huge platform, surrounded by walls.

Before Ash could speak, Roger walked up with a curse, only to have a roar and the platform began to rise. Ash looked up and saw that the ceiling was covered in steel pins, and several corpses were already hanging from it, which was clearly another trap.

At this time, it was too late to pull Roger back, and Ash had to rush forward. Fortunately, the structure of the entire burial chamber is not really without gaps.

Ash grabbed Roger and shoved him into the slit. However, the gap can barely accommodate one person.

In this case, the ash can only lie flat, and then cover it with its own large shield. At the same time, they are praying that the burial chamber is in disrepair, and the steel needles on the trap are no longer as sharp as they used to be.

At this time, although Roger was full of remorse, his hand did not stop, and a magic model gradually took shape, and then released onto the large shield of ashes.

The magic shield can increase the defense of the shield, and the ordinary sword really can't break the defense. However, this trap is a gravity trap, and the impact force depends entirely on the weight of the trap.
