Ash asked directly, and Roger asked him to ask

"Are you the mastermind of the Black Knife Conspiracy Night?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around him suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Lani sat upright, glancing deeply at the ashes, her tone no longer shy.

"Heh, the investigation is quite careful."

"That's right, it's me, you can leave!"

Seeing Lani admit it, Ash shook his head.

"That's not the truth, is it?"

"I think people are very accurate, you shouldn't hurt Godwin, tell me what happened."

Lani pondered for a moment and said, "None of this matters, for the sake of the stars, why not have a bad reputation on your back. ”

"No, I'm a very serious person, and I hate words to come to my lips and hide them, I have to tell the truth, otherwise..."

"How else? Do you really think there's only one dragon guarding here? ”

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my faux pas." Ash bowed slightly, then continued, "I just want to know the truth. ”

Seeing Ash's determined expression, Lani tilted her head and sighed.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"You also feel that something is wrong with the Golden Law, I have been preparing for it for a long time, and I want to get out of the control of the Golden Law."

"As a result, the Supreme Will sent Erzhi as my mentor, wanting to train me to become a god-man and the successor of the next goddess."

"In the face of this situation, the only way to live is to die."

"So I got it from my brother, the sealed place of the Destined Death, and quietly stole a part of the Death Rune."

"Then he carved his name on Death Rune, and after ritual transformation, he created a black knife to kill the gods, cut off the body, and let the soul get out of trouble."

"As for why Godwin was assassinated, I don't know!"

After listening to Lani's words, Ash began to analyze quickly, and the logic can be self-consistent, that is, Godwin's death is full of suspicions, and it cannot be ruled out that Lani lied, but there is another possibility.

So Ash immediately asked, "After you killed the flesh, what about the black knife that killed the gods?" Handed over to whom? ”

"It has taken all the strength to kill your own body, and the second finger quickly sensed that something was wrong, and at that time, he was only concerned about fleeing, and he didn't have time to deal with the god-killing black knife."

"In other words, on the night of the conspiracy, the god-killing black knife was left on your corpse?"

"That's how it should be."

If it was as Lani said, Godwin had been killed by someone else, and he was the first to rush to Lani's body.

This person, hiding the black knife, took advantage of the chaos of Lani's death to attack Godwin directly.

With too few clues, Ash's analysis is interrupted and he asks Lani directly.

"After all these years, have you ever wondered who is Godwin's murderer?"

Lani snorted coldly: "I'm the most suspicious, who else can I investigate." ”

"Well, the truth has been told to you, believe it or not."

"One last question, where is your body, I want to investigate."

"Heh, it's really an inch, you don't have the right to know this." Lani ordered the eviction.

At this time, in a corner of the room, a phantom figure of a wolf-headed human body gradually appeared.

When Ash saw this scene, he also understood that today's conversation would end here, and if he stayed, it was estimated that there would be no good fruit to eat.

He bowed slightly to say goodbye, and just before leaving, Ash suddenly turned around and said softly, "Goodbye, little witch who loves to peep." ”

"Did he sense it at the time?" Lani recalled Ash's parting words, puffed out her cheeks, and said to herself indignantly, "This bad thing! ”

Ash followed the path it had come, preparing to return to the nearest blessing, before teleporting back to the Round Table gathering point. This time the harvest is very big, Lani is indeed the owner of the black knife brand, but Godwin's death seems to have nothing to do with her. This aspect needs to be further investigated, and it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is very deep, so that Lani is also a sinister and terrible guy.

It seems that because it was late at night, the passing by was too quiet, and Ash gradually felt that something was wrong.

Grab your gear, extinguish your torches, and Ash start to guard with her shield.

Lani wants to silence her? No, if you really want to kill it, you won't let me leave easily. The dragon at the door is very difficult to entangle, and with the warrior with the wolf-headed human body that is gradually revealed, it is definitely a fierce battle. So, is this a danger of encountering Roger's advice?

As the night deepened, a gray-white boat rowed out of the woods.

There was a gray-white man standing on the boat, holding a flute in his hand, and slowly began to play.

Ghost ship? Before Ash could think about it, skeletons crawled out of the ground and pounced on Ash.

Ash carried the shield behind his back, grabbed the greatsword with both hands, and swept it away, and all the skeletons in front of him fell apart.

Skeletons are no longer a threat to Ash, but what Ash didn't expect was that the skeletons that had fallen apart actually began to recover with the sound of the flute, and then continued to attack Ash.

It turns out that the ghost ship is the core, and as long as it exists, these skeletons will be reborn no matter how many times they hit.

Ash didn't hesitate any longer, first a large fireball cleared the skeletons around it, and after clearing the gap, the firestorm began to prepare.

Perhaps sensing danger as well, the ghost ship began to row off into the distance, and it was impossible for Ash to let him kite like this.

Directly put the greatsword wrapped around the fire storm to his waist, the blade facing backwards, and then released violently. The huge impact force made the ashes leap forward, and at this time it had come to the sky above the ghost ship, and another fire storm had gathered, and the ghost ship could not be avoided, and it was instantly annihilated, and the surrounding skeletons also dissipated.

Putting the greatsword back at his waist, Ash picked up the item dropped by the ghost ship, a withered tree root that smelled of death on it. Is this the [Dead Root] in Roger's mouth, with puzzlement, Ash put away the things, and then continued on his way.

Lani looked at Blazer as he returned, and asked.

"How's it going, have you saved it?"

"This person is strong, and before he can make a move, he has already solved the [Dead Root]."

"yes, got it."

"Inform Iggy that the search for the Eternal City is going to be accelerated."

After experiencing the episode of [Dead Root], Ash did not stay and continued on his way.

From the Fourth Bell Tower, teleport back to the Round Table Gathering Point.

Before dawn, Ash went back to his bedroom to rest, ready to tell Roger about the night of the conspiracy tomorrow.

The next morning, when Ash got up, he didn't find Roger's figure, and he suddenly felt strange. After a few bites of breakfast, he went to Fia's room, but Roger was not here. Just as Ash was wondering, the blacksmith came to him.

"Missing?"

"Yes, to be precise, I ran out and never came back, and there was no news."

"So Mr. Roger was very worried, and immediately went to look for it, and asked me to wait here to relay the news."

After listening to the blacksmith's words, Ash also felt anxious.

Rodrika, the little girl, prepares to commemorate her fallen companion. As a result, the blacksmith was very worried, so he told Roger, who immediately went to Stonewell to look for it, and has not returned.

Without saying a word, Ash grabbed his gear and teleported directly from the Hall of the Round Table to Stoneville City.

Stonewell outpost

Ash knew that this time he was looking for someone, so he had to be more hidden.

Or through the method last time, quickly come to the main entrance. Unexpectedly, the janitor I met before was still there, and I learned about it when I asked. Roger did pass by, but he was never seen coming out.

Bidding farewell to the creeps, Ash quickly came to the big elevator, which was still guarded by a heavily armored knight. Although he revisited the old place, the strength of Ash doubled, and in the face of a single heavy armored knight, even the heavy armored knight had no time to release the storm battle skill, and he had already lost his life.

As the large elevator ascended to the city wall again, Ash removed his shield, picked up his longbow, and began to shoot at the falcon hidden in the shadows. After clearing the city wall, the son of bad omen in the square still lingered, although the ashes were not afraid, but once the fight started, the movement was big, and it was better to avoid it.

Jumping off the walls and onto the roof, and just as he was about to move on, Ash suddenly saw Roger's figure.

Roger was in the room at his feet, and the ashes ran down the eaves and finally through the window. The sound of landing attracted Roger's attention, and when he saw that it was ashes, he immediately went up to give him a hug.

After the two separated, Ash hurriedly asked if he had found Rodrika.

Roger smiled wryly and began to tell the story of what had happened these days.

"The blacksmith told me that Rodrica was missing, and I immediately began to look for it."

"As you mentioned before, Rodrika's companion was killed by Stoneville, so the first stop was Stoneville."

"Sure enough, I found Rodrica's traces here, just in the big room in front, there was a selbow nobleman guard, it was a multi-handed monster, I carefully checked and picked up Rodrica's red hood."

"Presumably, Rodrica wants to leave her hood here and stay with her companion forever."

"Then, it was discovered by the guards."

"The good news is that Rodrica summoned the jellyfish soul at that time, and was favored by Grayk, the lord of Stoneville."

"Fancy Rodrika?" Ash interrupted Roger.

"Well, it's the kind of talent that takes a fancy to it."

"Anyway, I overheard the guards say that Greck is no longer satisfied with the power of the limbs, and wants to control the power of the soul."

"I want to create an army of souls through Rodrika."

"It's really ambitious, and according to that, Rodrica has no worries about her life at the moment." Knowing that Rodrica is still alive, Ash also calms down.

"So, the only way we have now is to defeat the city lord and save Rodrika."

"With just the two of us, it seems to be a bit difficult, and someone has to attract the guards, otherwise it will definitely not be possible to defeat Shrek with the support of the guards."

"Shake people?"

Ash has not been on this continent for a long time, and he doesn't know many people, so in such a short time, where can he find someone to help.

"What about you, do you have any friends who can help?"

Ash had no choice but to ask Roger, who was also embarrassed.

"Don't think about it, Colin, he won't fight, don't let him get involved."

"D, Roger, you said D is okay."

"D, he's only interested in the Dead Roots, and nothing else."

"[Dead Root]? Isn't it this? ”

Ash suddenly thought of something and pulled out the fallen roots of the ghost ship from his pocket.

Roger was very surprised: "How can you have [Dead Root]? That's it, now I can try to convince D. ”

"Persuasion, why persuade?" Ash directly took the [Dead Root], climbed onto the roof, and then came to the City Lord's Mansion, tied the [Dead Root] with a bow and arrow, and shot into it.

"Now, D has a reason to have to defeat the city lord!"

Roger was stunned by the ashes.
