"Yo, yes, now you know that you have to work hard during the holidays? At that time, when you were following Mr. Odin, didn't you always uphold the life attitude that if you have time to play, you must play hard... Looks like you've grown a lot, too—" Jace said to Lambert with a smile.

"That's nature." Lambert said proudly, but he suddenly thought of something else, so his expression changed, and he continued to ask Jace seriously: "Brother Jace, what is the result of your coming to Elnika to participate in the meeting of the Human Alliance this time?" ”

Seeing Lambert mention business, Jace's expression also became serious, and he took Lamberta to a secluded place to make sure that no one was eavesdropping around, and then said to Lambert:

"The situation is very complicated now, you should have heard all kinds of rumors in so many days, right? The Demon King Asmodeus is back, he fought the King of Warcraft, Nidhogg, and although no one won in the end, Asmodeus was clearly the dominant side, and he had the advantage against the three dragons with one enemy and three, which is something we can't imagine at all. You know, we've fought against Niederhogg as well, but it took so many people to defeat him, and Asmodeus was not only able to defeat Niedhog, but also the other two dragons, and with our current strength, we really can't fight against it. ”

"Well, we all know Nidhogg's strength very well, if Asmodeus's strength is far superior to him, with our current strength, unless the guy with the Sword of Tyrblade helps us that day, we don't have a chance of winning, and if General Phila can participate in the battle, our certainty will be much improved." Lambert nodded in reply.

"That's right, your analysis is good, so we also said in the meeting that it is not a good choice to confront those guys head-on, but fortunately, the entire Ark Continent is now divided into three forces, humans, demons, and Warcraft, these three parties do not have any cooperation with each other, only hostility to each other, and Warcraft and Demons have long regarded us humans as a meal, and now all they have to consider is to defeat the other side, and then kill us together, and finally dominate the Ark Continent. The problem we have to solve now is to be able to meet with Nidhogg and rely on their power to defeat Asmodeus. Jace continued to Lambert.

"Join forces with Warcraft? Can Sister Erin agree? I won't agree to such a ridiculous thing! You know, those guys killed Sister Mel with their own hands! Nicole, who was eavesdropping, suddenly ran out, and she asked with an angry look on her face, a look of disbelief written all over her face.

"This plan is exactly what your sister Erin proposed, she has deeper feelings for Mel than you, but now facing this situation, this is also forced to do so, if we can defeat Asmodeus and Nidhogg, then all of this is impossible to talk about, there is no need to discuss it at all, you also understand how bad the form of the Alc continent is now, if you don't do this, let alone your sister Mel, your Lambert, your Sister Irene, including me, I'm afraid they'll all die under Asmodeus' demonic wings. Odin is gone, Ruth is gone, and we need a new hero. When he said this, Jace set his eyes on Lambert.

That's right, Lambert is the object of Odin's deathbed, and the demonic sword he holds is the key to defeating the demon king Asmodeus, although Lambert's growth rate is much faster than most demon hunters, but compared to Odin back then, Lambert is still a lot inferior.

Thinking of this, Lambert involuntarily lowered his head, he looked at the demonic sword in his hand and sighed deeply.

"No one blames you, Lambert, you've done a good job, after all, we're not super geniuses like Mr. Odin, as long as we do it without a clear conscience, we can see all the efforts you have put in. Even if you are not the opponent of the demon now, but one day, you will grow into the strongest demon hunter in the whole continent, you will become the hero of the Alke continent, and you will become the king of the demon hunter who killed Asmodeus, but not now, so your confidence must not be lost, once you lose it, it will be an early declaration of death for you, because one day, you will really be like your teacher Odin, and challenge Asmodeus head-on, at that time, can you ensure that you survive? Jace touched Lambert's shoulder, smiling and comforting him.

Lambert looked up again, smiled at Jace, and went aboard alone.

Without the protection of seniors like Geraint, Erin, and Jace, Lambert himself is nothing, he naturally understands this truth, and there is no reason why the demonic sword in his hand will not attract Asmodeus's revenge.

For Asmodeus, without Odin at the moment, there is no one in the Alke Continent who can stop his progress.

On the way back to the Osian Empire, Lambert has always been thinking about the same problem, that is, a shortcut to quickly increase his strength, if he can use some kind of black technology to improve his strength, then he must be able to contribute faster, and maybe be able to strangle Asmodeus in the cradle before he has fully recovered his peak strength.

To do this, he thought of an ancient and mysterious black magic.

Dark magic is another branch of the mage's profession, and while Nicole's necromancy appears to be a similar type of magic to its dark arts counterpart, the two have little to no connection. And the guys who master black magic are naturally not dealing with the mainstream magicians on the Ark continent, they like to act alone and study deeper and higher-level powerful magic as an individual.

Although there is no clear evidence that the use of black magic will cause strong side effects on the body of magicians and other people affected by magic, this kind of violent spell that increases their strength in a short period of time still makes most magicians led by Erin and Ruth scoff, so black magic is a niche magic that only exists under the ground.

But Lambert thinks that with his current growth rate, before he is enough to compete with Asmodeus, the Alc continent is probably about to fall, such an ending is unacceptable to him no matter what, he wants to protect his parents, protect Nicole, protect Leah, if he can't get the power to compete with Asmodeus, these are impossible to talk about.

Thinking of this, he decided to go to the witch Zyra to ask about the dark arts, because Lambert himself knew that if he asked Jace, Geraint, and Erin, they would definitely not agree with Lambert's decision, but Zyra was different, and Lambert could see an innate thirst for power in Zyra.

Lambert secretly finds Jace and asks him to help him set up a line to meet Zyra.

"What? What are you going to do with her? Jace asked at Lambert.

"Uh... It's not a big deal, just ask about magic, I want to learn some new magic and make myself stronger. Lambert replied as if nothing had happened.

"Well, I can take you to her, but I can tell you in advance, this person I think is dangerous, very dangerous, and for some reason, when I stay with her, I have an inexplicable sense of fear, and I feel that there will be a pair of eyes watching me in the dark all the time. So you can go to her for help, but you must remember not to trust her too much and always be wary of her. Jace said earnestly to Lambert.

"Well, got it, Mr. Jace." Lambert nodded in reply.

That night, Jace took Lambert to the palace of St. Mayad, the Witch Zyra, who was also arranged by the Bloodhoof Owen, the Ossian Emperor.

Lambert found that the palatial palace had become more and more eerie as he got closer to the sorceress Zyra's residence, and that the skulls and other strange animals and bugs in Nicole's room had been eerie enough, but now it seemed nothing compared to Zyra.

In this gloomy environment, there are all kinds of monsters and demon corpses hanging on the surrounding walls, and at the same time, there are all kinds of insects gnawing on the walls of large and small animal corpses, and spiders and cockroaches can be seen crawling around everywhere.

"Do beautiful women like to do all these weird things?" Lambert asked in his own mind.

If you want to say that the witch Zyra, although she usually wears a red cloak and wears a mask on her face, there is no way to see her true appearance, but judging from her body proportions and her big watery eyes, this person's appearance must not be much worse than Irene, presumably in a big city like St. Mayad, Zyra must have many suitors.

"Oh, that's the room, you've met before, I won't introduce you, you can just ask her if you have anything, I believe you, so let you talk alone." Jace said, patting Lambert on the shoulder.
