The Golden Tree is too domineering, why don't you return to the tree, you have to become a revenant?

At the same time, after returning to the tree, can you really rest in peace?

Ash sat in his bedroom, pondering these questions.

With a "squeak", Roger came back with a full face of spring.

"Became a fellow traveler? Happy? Ash quipped.

"Of course, I'll tell you, Fiya told me..."

"Stop, I'm not interested in this, don't tell me, it's Fiya's secret, don't spread it."

"Okay, then I'll get down to business."

Roger straightened the neckline of his clothes, then pulled a chair and sat down in front of the ashes.

"[Black Knife Brand] has the name of Lani, the princess of the moon, on it, so whether she is behind the scenes is another matter, but she definitely can't escape the involvement."

"So, I wonder if you can go and ask in person."

"Why don't you go, I remember, Lani is also a magician, you have the same identity, you must be better at talking." Ash asked, confused.

"It's complicated, there are many factions of magicians, and the relationship between Kalia and the Academy of Magic is not good right now."

"Now I don't know Lani's attitude, I'm afraid I'll go and make it self-defeating."

"You're a stranger, it's different, you have no background, you're clean."

"And this is my please, it has nothing to do with Fiya, solving the mystery of the Black Knife conspiracy and making the dead truly return to death is the goal of my life."

Looking at Roger's determined eyes, Ash had no choice but to run.

"Prepare the map and set off tomorrow."

After saying that, Ash lay down on the bed and began to rest.

The next day, Roger stood at the round table to bid farewell to the ashes.

Before Ash left, he had already greeted Rodrica.

Rodrika also said that when the ashes come back this time, the soul of [Ogray] will be able to recuperate.

This time it was still teleported to the location of Kalia's study, and after two times, it was already very familiar.

According to the map given by Roger, Lani has her own magic tower, called the Three Sisters Magic Tower.

Located in the south of the Academy of Magic, you need to cross Lake Lieria, and it is safer for crabs to run rampant in Lake Lieria during the day. At night, it is very dangerous, and even the legendary monster [Death Bird] will appear.

The above is all advice from Roger, and the ashes are also in mind.

From the study to the west, slowly follow the path to the lake, the water is very shallow and passable.

In the middle of the lake, there are several pavilions, which look quite elegant. Ash carried a great sword on his back and a stabbing sword in his hand, and moved forward steadily. Two hours later, it was already noon, and Ash had climbed up to the gazebo in front of him, ready to cook lunch.

The ingredients are fish and shrimp from the lake, which look very plump.

After a busy day, the smoke of cooking smoke rises into the air accompanied by the smell of delicious food.

I tasted a bite of the soup, "tsk", so fresh, start eating. Just as the ashes smashed open the crab's claws, ready to open.

A timid voice shouted, "Lord Fader, can I ask you for something?" ”

Ash looked up, and there was a young girl standing at the foot of the gazebo steps, her yellow hair already wet with moisture, clinging to her face.

The thin clothes could no longer keep warm, so the body trembled a little.

"Come up first, take a sip of soup to warm up."

Ash took a large mussel shell in his hand, held a bowl full of it, and handed it to the girl.

"Suck it, ah~!" The girl continued to swallow heavily, regardless of the heat.

In this way, both sides ate in silence.

Halfway, Ash silently waited for the girl to finish her last mouthful of soup before asking.

"What do you want to ask for, it's too dangerous, I won't accept it!"

The girl put down the shell, put her legs together, knelt down in front of the ashes, and gathered her dried hair.

"My name is Raya, and I'm the maid of the Volcano Mansion, and I came out to relax this time, but the necklace was taken away by a hooligan."

"It's a precious item to me, and I hope the Fader will help me get it back."

"The necklace was taken away by a hooligan, it seems to be a trivial matter, where did you meet the hooligan?"

"There's a broken house in the woods ahead, and there's a house!"

Raya stood up, pointing to the woods ahead and telling the Ash Hooligan where he was.

The ashes followed the direction that Raya pointed, and sure enough, he saw the shadow of a ruined house. didn't stop too long, just picked up the weapon, let Raya wait here, and then went to the broken house.

Soon, they came to the dilapidated house, and the sound of their shoes dripping water had already reached the ears of the hooligans, so the hooligans were also on guard with knives.

In line with the principle that if you can talk, you don't use the knife first, Ash began to talk to the hooligans.

"There's a girl who said you took her necklace, right?"

The hooligans also do not deny it and admit it directly.

"Now the world is difficult, and I can only plunder for a living, but I also have a bottom line, as long as I have property, I don't take people's lives."

Ash nodded secretly, still a principled rascal, and then asked for the necklace.

The rogue said that if he wanted the necklace, he would have to give him 1,000 runes.

Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death.

Although the hooligan was loud, his trembling hands had betrayed his heart.

Although the knight's armor on Ash's body is worn, it is very complete, and the shield and sword are also fully equipped, and it is definitely not a rogue who can intrude.

He took a handful of rune from his pocket and handed it to the robber, roughly estimating that it would be at least 1,000.

Without waiting for the robber to speak, he pulled the necklace directly, and the ashes turned to leave. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. And 1000 runes, which is the price of 1 weapon.

As a result, before he had taken two steps, the hooligan strode over, holding a bowl of lobster in both hands, and motioned for the ashes to take it.

Ash let go of the hilt of his sword with his right hand, took the lobster, waved his hand at the hooligan, and continued to leave.

Back in the gazebo, he handed the necklace to Raya, and Ash freed his hand, pulled open a lobster tail, and took a hard sip, it tasted really good.

Soon the bottom of the bowl was there, and Ash squatted, washed his hands, shook off the water stains, packed up the cooking utensils, and prepared to say goodbye.

Raya bowed again in thanks, and didn't say much, looking briefly at the back of the ashes leaving, and clutching the necklace with both hands.

Continuing south, after an episode of hooligans, the sky gradually darkened. Ash was ready to find a place to rest, already knowing that Lake Lieria was in danger at night, and was not prepared to be tough.

Half an hour later, it was already dark, and the ashes had come to a dilapidated church. Observe, this church is quite special, and I don't know if it is deliberately planted or grown naturally, there are a lot of red roses, which are very beautiful in the moonlight.

Having made up his mind to rest here tonight, Ash came to the door with a torch.

Unexpectedly, I saw an acquaintance, White Mask.

Ash thought to himself, is this person a kraft candy, specifically on the road he must pass, a chance encounter, is it interesting?

Before Ash could open his mouth to taunt, White Mask still looked familiar and shouted directly.

"I really didn't see the wrong person, you still followed the contents of the letter and arrived safely at the Rose Church."

"What if I'm going, this is the Church of the Roses? I actually bumped into it myself. The ashes were also eyelids.

White Mask didn't know what Ash was thinking, and continued to introduce: "Since you're here, then I'll keep the agreement and tell you the way to become stronger." ”

"That's blood!"

"I've got a volume of blood notes here, you take it."

Without waiting for refusal, he stuffed it directly into the arms of the ashes.

Ash looked confused, what kind of song is this, it's okay to send skills directly.

White Mask looked at the ashes without saying a word, thinking that he was immersed in joy, and continued to speak.

"I still have a task here, and if you continue to complete it, you can practice more advanced blood techniques."

"I tell you, don't underestimate the power of blood, there was once a reed swing... Oh no, it's a samurai from the Land of Reeds, who thinks he is highly skilled and disdains the power of blood. ”

"As a result, after studying the first volume, I couldn't extricate myself, and now I have become a Shura."

It was also embarrassing to watch White Mask perform alone, and Ash echoed it.

"What is the second phase of the mission?"

"Kill the three faders and cut off their fingers for me, and this is still the place."

"Okay, I'll try to get it done." On the surface of the ashes, he nodded vigorously, but in his heart he actually wanted the white mask to leave quickly.

It is said that as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed, and the ashes can't stand this kind of torture, so you don't want to sleep.

Sending the White Mask away, Ash opened the Blood Notebook, which recorded an evil combat skill, cut the palm of his hand, let the blood cover the blade, and swung it out. According to the note, it is possible to make the enemy's wounds unhealed and remain in a bleeding state all the time.

Ash casually threw away the notes, isn't this nonsense, wounding a thousand enemies and eight hundred.

The next day, Ash continued to hurry, and at this time it had crossed the entire Lake Lieria, and then south along the mainland, a place called the Four Bell Tower, and Ash saw the [Blessing] again, and sat down directly to replenish his strength. After resting for a while, Ash stood up, and he could already see three magic towers towering on the mountain, much taller than the tower in the fourth middle building.

Seeing that the destination was ahead, the ashes did not stop and tried to hurry.

As a result, when he was about to arrive, he was stopped by a giant. Judging by the outfit, the giant was a blacksmith. The giant tells Ash that ahead lies the Walled City of Kalia, which is riddled with magical traps to prevent anyone from approaching it maliciously. Ash didn't pay any attention to the giant's warning, and seeing that the target was in front of him, there was no reason to return.

This section of the road is really as the giant said, it is very difficult to walk, there are magic traps everywhere, as long as you touch it slightly, it is either the Kalia sword or the pyroxene attack, but fortunately, the big shield can completely resist it. In this way, Ash arrives at the Three Sisters Tower, and Roger tells Ash that the one in the middle is Lani's Magic Tower. Finally walking to the door, a huge dragon roared down and crawled at the door of the mage tower.

Looking at the dragon in front of him, the ashes are not easy to shoot, after all, they are looking for people, not fighting. If you kill the guard dragon in other people's territory, how can you talk about it? So, I could only puff up my breath and shout to the top of the tower, is Lani at home? Is Lani at home? Is Lani at home?

Lani had known since Ash met the giant blacksmith, and Lani didn't confirm it until Ash approached the tower. It was the same faded man who refused to guide the shrine maiden in the first place, who had thought him funny at first, and now Lani was embarrassed enough to almost pull out another mage tower. How can anyone shout at the door of someone's house, it's too rude!

I have never seen such an indecent person, I can't continue to let him shout, and the shame is thrown into the walled city of Kalia. Lani secretly motioned for the dragon to let him go, and sure enough, the shouting stopped.

When Ash saw the dragon move away, he knew he could go up. When I walked past the dragon, I didn't forget to say a friendly hello to the dragon: "A dragon of your size, I've killed eight hundred, if not a thousand!"

The dragon was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for the dragon to react, Ash climbed the stairs of the magic tower.

Along the spiral staircase, the ashes came to the top of the tower, a small room, full of magic notes and books, messy, the owner is not very particular.

As if seeing through the ashes' heart, Lani suppressed her eyelids and spoke.

"Fader, I don't remember inviting you, why are you here?"

Ash looked at Lani sitting in the chair in front of her, her little head was wearing a big magic hat, and the two braids were quite cute. The four hands are crossed on the knees, and it is really worthy of being from the royal family, but these two small retreats that can't reach the ground, just don't shake around.

With the sight of the ashes, Lani also noticed that something was wrong, and directly pulled the magic robe over to cover her little feet.

"You... Rude..."

"Tell me quickly, what are you doing, just get out when you're done..."
