"That's not something to remember."

Hengs said.

However, Lunami next to her obviously didn't care too much, so she told it directly.

"It was about the second month of the demonic invasion, since the royal fools detonated the space and opened the teleportation rift to the abyss.

Our defenses begin to retreat, after all, the devil starts from within, and who will build defenses from within? ”

"The crisis was so sudden that we didn't maintain a good defense until a few days later, but the power of the demons was too great, and we didn't have a good place to defend it.

The Third Legion, the City Guards, and some Order Guards of the Holy Machine Church, plus a few scattered powerhouses.

We have been all the way to the back of the road to collect all kinds of people who have been killed. In the end, we had to enter the Green Forest Mountains. ”

The so-called Green Forest Mountain Range is the name of the Ghost Mountain Range at their feet.

But there's obviously no such thing as a green forest here.

Naturally, it no longer fits the name.

"The demons were very closely pursued, and we fought and fled all the way, and finally defended here with more refugees, creating a defensive facility."

This is the area where they are now.

It was supposed to be a mine, with all sorts of facilities, and the surrounding cave walls, making it easier to defend against all kinds of highly mobile demons.

"We were just going to leave here after a brief defense, take care of our injuries, prepare some supplies, and then leave...... However, it backfired. ”

Hearing this, Arka couldn't help but nod.

Running into the mountains in that situation is not just their idea, there must be many people who have the same idea.

In this case, it is human instinct to huddle in groups.

"But more and more soldiers are guarding more refugees, and it's so much that it's hard to leave.

The target is too big and too wide, and it also attracts more demons. ”

"At first, with the help of the Cloud Sage, it wasn't too difficult for us to defend against the demons.

But with the continuous loss of defenses in various regions, coupled with the name of the Cloud Sage, the refugees gathered here have reached an exaggerated level.

Refugees from the cities around the mountains have all flocked here, and we can't escape. ”

"I'm sure you also know the rest of the matter, the more refugees there are, the more demons there are, and without complete logistics, we will naturally become more and more unable to resist.

In the end, these civilians could only flee as much as they could, and we resisted at the last moment. ”

With that, she pointed to herself.

"As for the current state, it was after the death of the Cloud Sage.

He was strong until the last man also killed a lot of demons. But he's just a man.

After death, a scepter-level treasure called the Cloud Staff is held by us, and we have no suitable person to grasp it.

But we can't leave either, we're already surrounded. ”

"In this case, I relied on the treasure of the Cloud Staff to initiate a powerful ritual, a ritual that I had prepared long ago.

Let the souls of all the dead soldiers and civilians emerge from their corpses and begin to deal with those demons.

Let those damned demons, don't think about dying so happily and return to the abyss. ”

At the same time, it is actually to continue to defend against the demons, so that more civilians who have not fled far can escape. Otherwise, with the speed of those civilians, how could it be compared to the attacks of these demons.

She told it very simply, probably only about a more general process.

But only they can know the mental journey and experience.

Xia Daiti looked at the surroundings and said, "So in the end you succeeded?" ”

"It worked, but it also failed."

"The demons have indeed suffered numerous casualties, and their souls have been dragged here, and the other demons do not want to come to this area again.

However, although I have studied the undead and know something about demons, I lack reverence for the breath of the abyss.

Those civilians, those once heroic soldiers have become evil spirits, bloodier and more brutal beings than demons. Trying to kill everything that is alive. ”

At this, Lunami sighed.

Nothing has only the good side, especially such behavior.

"Alright, I've satisfied your curiosity, and you should turn around and get out of here.

You are a saint of Our Lady, and you should know exactly what is best for you right now. ”

After saying that, Lunami got up directly, and Engels also turned over and rode directly on the ghost's war horse. Lunami floated to the back of the warhorse, and the two of them rode the warhorse directly and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Looking at the two vanished ghosts, Shadetti turned his head to look at Arka.

"What are you going to do now? Leaving ”

Arka propped his head: "I'll have to think about it." ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone's eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely not make a rash decision, and I can't really ignore everything." ”

Several people nodded.

Arka sat still, the map in his hand, looking at the orange light on it.

【Cloud Staff】

[Difficulty: Revenant Cleaner (Stage 5)]

[Popularity: 11.2w]

[Treasure Info: The Treasure of the Sage of the Clouds.] In the ancient Salalan Empire, the Sages of the Clouds were known as the guardians of the common people.

They held a scepter surrounded by clouds, and their bodies were surrounded by white clouds like the sky. Walk through the Empire. Help for the people of all empires.

The last of the Cloud Sages was killed in battle with demons at the collapse of the Empire.

The area where the scepter is located is infested with fallen spirits, who are willing to use their own souls to protect this last scepter.

Obtaining treasures can have unbearable consequences, having enemies that should not be faced, but nothing is absolute.

If you don't want to suffer such consequences, you have to solve the problems that come with obtaining the treasure. (Perfect)

Arka looked at the latest piece of treasure information, and nothing was absolute.

The question, of course, is how to address the needs of all parties.

In order to get this treasure without serious consequences, Arka needs to do three things.

1. Clean up the demonic souls, those demonic souls who died in this area were also dragged in this area. Taking the treasure will bring the demon's soul back to the abyss.

This is the easiest problem for him to solve now, his dream realm is already gradually connecting with this area, and he can directly drag it into the dream realm and throw it into the furnace.

Make sure that the souls of these demons disappear cleanly, and you can make more contributions to the world.

2. Protect those souls who still have a personal will and are not invaded by the breath of the abyss.

The first thing that comes to Arka's mind is the Wraith dolls, but the problem is that Alka doesn't understand the state of these ghosts.

Wanting to be infected by the abyssal aura and turn into an evil spirit is obviously not a quick thing, but gradually.

This may or may not work, and you have to know more about it.

Of course, there are many possibilities for them to be free. However, Arka has no intention of helping others make decisions on their own.

3, so that the countless evil spirits of the Ghost Mountain Range cannot go out and infringe on others.

This is the most difficult one to complete, as these evil spirits are not ordinary common evil spirits. Rather, it is a creation made through rituals and the immersion of the abyss, plus the treasure as the core road marker.

They don't disappear completely just because they're killed, they come out of nowhere.

Maybe take away the treasure and let go of the shackles, and they can really be killed. But by that time, they had already pulsed out of the Ghost Mountain.

For the sake of an orange treasure, unleash countless war spirits to wreak havoc behind the scars of the entire world.

This is a completely worthless thing, and it is even quite possible to cause problems at the front, problems with transport routes in the rear.

No one can afford to pay such a price.

Not to mention, neither Arka nor Shadetti could have done such a thing.

After all, this treasure doesn't have to be.

From the communication with those two ghosts, Arka could clearly know that they were definitely not the first treasure hunt team to come here.

The previous treasure hunting team had not done such a thing, and it was possible that they could not defeat those evil spirits.

The second may be that he has the most basic sanity and has not been carried away by the scepter-level treasure.

After all, it has reached the fifth stage of such strength, and there is no stupidity.

Clearing his thoughts, Arka couldn't help but ponder.

"What are you thinking? It really doesn't work, we just turn around and leave. Lucilia jumped onto Arka's lap at some point, sat down against his waist and said.

Arka reached out his hand and lay on top of her, letting her hold it.

"But these problems have to be solved, don't they?" The trapped demon souls must be destroyed, and the evil spirits that wander the mountains are pitiful, but they still have to be dealt with.

And the ghosts who retain their wisdom, they shouldn't stay here and wait for a desperate future, this shouldn't be what they deserve, right? ”

"Yes, you're right, and if we can, of course we'll have to help them. So do you have any ideas? ”

"The demon's soul is easy to deal with, but what kind of state is this ritual they are in now? What is the connection between these evil spirits and this area and this treasure?

If I don't figure it out, I can't figure it out. ”

Hearing Arka's question, Lucilia fell silent.

After a while, she said, "I know, I know the type of ritual she performs, and I know about what the ritual is like now and how they relate to each other. ”

Hearing this, Arka looked down at her.

"You know?"

"Of course I do, I'm very knowledgeable."

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

"Then you talk to me."

Lucilia nodded, telling her what she knew.

"If she wants to hold such an exaggerated ceremony, it is obviously not something she can do alone, and all kinds of materials and preliminary preparations. That's not what they were able to do at that time.

That's why they use a scepter-level artifact as the centerpiece of the ritual, as the only level that can bear most of the cost. And steer clear of the use of well-prepared and materials. ”

"Remember the Dark Realm?" Lucilia said suddenly.

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

Of course he remembers.

"That sea area was also caused by the detonation of a treasure, and now it seems that it is also through a ritual.

And we know that the treasure destroys its divinity, and the essence only returns to the world. It's just that through such a ritual, its true carrier and power are destroyed, and the treasure bursts with energy at one time.

It was also a ritual, not fundamentally different from the rituals in the area we are in today.

The only difference is that one of them is a destructive, one-time ritual that is generated by a core explosion.

And what we are in now is a long-lasting ritual that has been maintained with the treasure itself at its core. ”

Hearing Lucilia's words, Arka nodded from time to time, and he could only listen to some of the things he could understand, at most to understand what Lucilia wanted to say.

As Lucilia continued, Arka began to clear her mind and come up with a possible solution.

……

That's it.

Arka: They spent two days and nights in the camp.

Xia Daiti had already completed the map of the area.

They mainly stay here, talking to each other and solving the possibilities of these problems.

They have so many treasures that they can always think of enough solutions, they just need to take it one step at a time.

Sit in a stone house.

Arka said: "Let's build the whole problem with the heart of Vastwa at the core. ”

The Vastva people in the inner space of the Heart of Vastva had all moved out of it when Arka left.

In other words, the inside has been completely empty, and it has become the most primitive state of this treasure.

It also allows Alka to really start using and playing the most important function of this treasure.

A small world in his hands.

Hearing Arka's words, Xia Daiti and the others looked at him and asked, "You already have an idea to solve it?" ”

Arka nodded: "I'm going to dig up this area and throw it into here." ”

A crystal emerged from Arka's hand, the heart of Vastva.

"Dig it up? The whole mountain range? Xia Daiti couldn't help but frown and asked.

After all, although the evil spirits gather the most here, the range of their actions is almost all over the entire mountain range. They can be found everywhere in the range.

Arka's desire to throw the entire mountain range into the heart of Vastva with his current strength is indeed an exaggeration.

Hearing this, Arka shook his head: "Of course it's impossible, how can it be so exaggerated."

Isn't it the ruined mine that I'm going to dig up, the place where the war is most intense, and where the ritual of the treasure is held? ”

Saying that, Arka looked at Lucilia.

Lucilia nodded: "That's right, I've looked at the ritual in the past few days, and it hasn't expanded outward in this area. ”

Arka began to talk about his thoughts and the whole process.

"In the first step, we first need to throw this area into the heart of Vastva along with those evil spirits. It's empty right now, anyway.

This will cut off the Abyssal Breath to prevent further infusion, and we only need to clean up the Abyssal Breath from the area that we threw it into.

Once that's done, we'll pick up the treasure. ”

Arka simply explained his thoughts and process, which sounded very simple.

"Wait, how can we do it, and throw all the evil spirits into it? How can we get them to obey?

And how do you clean up the rest of the abyssal breath? ”

Xia Daiti asked directly, the two most fatal questions in this process.

"yes, that's why I said the whole process. We have to get those two things right first. Let's think about it together. ”

"We can ask Lunami for their help, and I'm sure they'll be willing to help. After all, our efforts are what they need, aren't they?

Wait until our idea is feasible and then let them cooperate, and they will definitely not refuse at that time. ”

“…… Okay, let's get started. ”

The crowd sprang into action.

First of all, Arka will go to find Lunami and the others to learn some information from them and get some help if it is feasible.

Lucilia and the others will stay in the camp and start studying the evil spirits to see if there is any way to attract them.

Lucilia seems to have some confidence and ideas about this.

And the rock horn that had been following them sat in the middle of the camp like this, and he couldn't help in any way, he could only watch the Arka and them busy.

If it doesn't work, they can leave and go back to the town, and let the researchers of Vastwa and Jason help out.

Even go to the front line, go to areas such as demon-proof fortresses to ask for help.

There are countless strong people gathered there, and there will always be someone who has a way.

Brand new map in hand.

Like a phantom, Arka walked in front of these evil spirits, but did not attract their attention at all. I came to a cave that had collapsed.

From some of the surrounding places and ruins, it can be seen that this was once a mine.

This is the entrance to a mine.

There were also dense bones all around, and even armor weapons that had not been completely corroded could be seen on some of the bones.

Skipping the bones, Arka made his way to the door of the mine.

A soul that seemed to possess wisdom came up from the ground.

The appearance of the soul, still wearing armor and holding a weapon to dress up as a soldier.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
