When Otis learns of Herman's imminent departure, he was going to ask all the high-ups of Gloomy City to come and see him off, but Herman stopped him because he didn't want too many people to know the identity of his god son.

Eventually, Herman summoned the two of them one last time the day before deciding to leave.

"Bishop, Legion Commander, this is the matter, and I have decided to leave tomorrow." Herman said to the two.

"Leaving tomorrow?" The two were surprised, "Did something happen?" Why so suddenly? ”

"It's fine, it's just time to leave...... After I left, Gloom City asked the two of you. ”

Otis and Valk bowed down in unison when they heard this, and replied, "I will live up to the trust of the Son of God, and my subordinates and Valk will definitely take care of the city-state and strengthen our religion according to the instructions of the Son of God." ”

Herman thought for a moment and said, "Although I have accepted the oracle and hope that you will develop believers, the responsibility of governing the city is extremely heavy, and you can't ignore the process for the sake of the purpose, no matter what, the current believers in the city-state are the most important, you can do it yourself, everything is based on the actual situation of Dark Crystal City." After I leave, I will not come down for a long time, and the goddess will not be able to take care of this place for the time being, so you must act carefully and do not take risks. Well, first to survive, then to develop. He wanted to tell the two of them something, but before he was sure, he decided to keep it a secret, so as not to make the other party happy.

When the two of them heard this, they were very surprised. They thought that the Son of God would use the name of the goddess to persecute and threaten them, and warn them fiercely, but they didn't expect that the Son of God would completely delegate power to the two of them, and the great wizard and the knight couldn't help but be moved.

In fact, Herman also thought about warning and threatening, but considering that the wolves around him were around, and Gloomy Crystal City was walking on thin ice, he would not encourage the two to act aggressively, lest it eventually cause a catastrophe, and then it would be really empty.

After all, he didn't have a chance to come down again at least until he was promoted to Sky Knight, and it would take thirty or fifty years to come back at the earliest.

Of course, the two didn't know the truth, they just thought that the Son of God had gone back to take charge of the forces of the Bright World, and they were grateful for his delegation of power, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the trust and compassion of the Son of God." ”

Herman smiled slightly: "But don't take it for granted that I am encouraging you to be lazy and content with the status quo. You must know that although I can't look at you, the eyes of the goddess are not limited by time and place. ”

The two of them looked stunned, and said in unison: "My subordinates will never dare to have such thoughts. ”

"It's best that way." Herman smiled and said, "I don't have to send it tomorrow, I'll leave by myself." ”

Otis thought for a moment and replied, "There are still tens of thousands of power stones in the inner library, and I will send them for the Son of God later." ”

Although these things are the salaries of the Guardian Mission, who made the identity of the Divine Son special, he had to be sensible.

Herman was stunned for a moment and looked at Valk: "You don't need to cultivate?" ”

Valk replied, "Of course, my subordinates have to cultivate, but my subordinates also know that I should put you first in everything I teach. ”

Herman was accustomed to being someone else's subordinate, and he only had to pay tribute to others. Unexpectedly, now he has begun to accept tribute from others, and he feels the taste of power for the first time, and he is in a good mood.

However, he didn't take it, but said: "It's better for you to keep it for yourselves, I have searched the inner treasury of the temple once before, and I have a treasure containing two magic rings, and I will be able to have enough energy stones when I return to the light world." There is no shortage of this power stone. ”

In addition to the magic ring he had taken from Selena, Anderson's magic ring was also filled by him.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Valk said sincerely, after all, their Guardian Regiment was indeed short of energy stones, and they were not so distressed about various materials. However, when it comes to the Son of God, it should be said that he can't be less, so his heart moved, and he said: "Wait a minute, the Son of God will go down and prepare a small gift for you." After saying that, he broke through the air and left.

"Gifts?" Herman looked at Otis.

Otis spread his hands and laughed that he didn't know.

But soon, Valk returned to the temple, but he didn't return empty-handed—he rode a one-meter-high, three-meter-long pure black second-order manticore, a berserk beast equivalent to a high-level source knight, but at the moment it was as well-behaved as a little meow, extremely tame.

I only heard Valk laugh and said: "Although the Son of God does not need a war pet to increase his combat effectiveness, he is also quite majestic when he uses it for travel on weekdays, and this little thing is the strongest among the several ethnic groups I have found in the vicinity, and it is just right to use it for you." ”

After that, he jumped off the tiger's back and slapped it heavily on the ass, which was very appreciative.

And this fierce beast not only did not exert its might, but obediently walked up to Herman and knelt down on its front legs, touching the ground with its forehead, indicating its submission.

However, Herman could see clearly that the red light flashed in the manticore's eyes as it lowered its head. Obviously, this demonic beast is only well-behaved in front of the Sky Knight, and the ferocity in his bones has not diminished in the slightest.

"Hahaha, I like this gift, the Legion Commander has a heart. Thanks a lot. Herman didn't care about the manticore's hidden ferocity, and patted the huge tiger's head and laughed in satisfaction.

If he couldn't even handle a second-order demonic beast, then what kind of fighting spirit would he cultivate. Without the moss-stepping lizard, his combat power was reduced by about ten percent. But now, the combat power has doubled. After all, the Moss Lizard is only a first-order demonic beast that runs fast, and the Scorpion-tailed Tiger is a real second-order demonic beast, and the two are completely incomparable.

Valk and Otis also laughed loudly, and none of them worried that the Son of God would not be able to subdue the beast.

……

It had been more than a month since Vera woke up, and she had wanted to leave a long time ago. But firstly, there was no map, and secondly, the residual poison in the body was not cleared, and the body was weak, so he lived in Otis's house for another month.

During this time, Herman was either busy with the establishment of the sect or busy cultivating, and forgot all about Vera, and did not think of this person until he left.

Herman found the girl in the green dress and asked, "I'm leaving tomorrow, when are you going to leave?" If you want to stay longer, I'll find you another safe place to stay. ”

"You're leaving, where are you going?"

The girl in the green dress had not even figured out her situation when she heard Herman say that she was leaving, and immediately asked.

Herman said, "I'm going to go to Mountain Flame City. ”

"Mountain Flame City? Where is that? The girl in the green dress asked.

Herman replied, "The territory of the dwarves is ten thousand miles away. ”

When Valk was younger, he had traveled there and asked the dwarven forgers to craft magic weapons for him, so he knew the directions. Coincidentally, as long as you go up the Gloomy Crystal River, you can go directly to Mountain Flame City, except for some cliffs and valleys on the way, there are no magical beasts entrenched, and it is a safe passage that few people know.

Vera was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned to ask:

"What happened to you that day? What happened to me after I fell unconscious? Why do we live in the house of the High Priest of the Dragon Temple, and why are the High Priests' family so polite to us? ”

Vera, who couldn't find anyone to ask for a long time, asked one question after another, leaving Herman unsure of how to answer.

Although she had also spent nearly three months in Gloomy City, she had been in a coma for half of the time, and she didn't know much about the city and the changes in her situation. At this time, the two were going to separate, so naturally they all asked in one go.

Herman was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The events of that day involved my secrets, and I'm sorry I can't tell you." As for what happened next, it can only be said that it was an accident, and the reason why we were teleported there was because of the stratagem of Otis......"

Then he briefly told Otis that he suspected that there was a mole in the temple and designed to lure the snake out of the hole, and then lied: "Because no one is good at detoxification, Otis apologized for making us into a storm and letting us live in his house." ”

"Everyone has secrets, and it's okay if you don't want to." Vera gently lifted it and asked, "What about later?" Did Gloomy Crystal City survive the crisis because it took refuge in the Lord of the Holy Flame? ”

"Yes. Three days ago, you also saw the scene where the god personally took action, right? ”

The girl in the green dress nodded, and the divine power of the goddess to suppress everything came to her mind, especially the painful screams of the wizards who belonged to the realm from the clouds, which made her even more frightened.

It was definitely a true god.

(Only, why is that weird black flame so similar to the power of Herman's bloodline?) ）

The girl in the green dress looked the boy up and down suspiciously, full of suspicion.

(If he asked, would he have said?) ）

(Vera, Vera, have you forgotten what you just said that everyone has a secret?) Why is curiosity so heavy?,Sensible.,Girls who don't have any sense of proportion are very annoying.。 ）

Herman knew she wouldn't believe it, but that's what he could tell.

"What about you, where are you going?" The boy asked.

The girl in the green dress hesitated for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "What are you doing in Mountain Flame City?" ”

In response to her, there was still silence.

The girl in the green dress couldn't help pouting and muttered, "Hmph, if you don't say it, you won't say it." He sulked, and after a while whispered, "It's better that I'm still a companion who fought side by side, and I don't say anything." ”

"If you don't say it, I won't tell you."

"Humph!"

Herman couldn't help but be dumbfounded, after all, the girl in the green dress who was sulking at this time and the soft, rigid and taciturn witch at the beginning was really too contrasting, so he couldn't help but wonder if the person in front of him had also changed his core?

(Is it because I saved her life and felt that we had a good relationship that my true nature was exposed?) Forget it, I'm going back anyway, so it's okay to tell her. ）

(Damn, if it's a rough man who is spoiled by me, Lao Tzu would have flown up and kicked him a kick, where would he be shaken so quickly.) ）

After thinking for a while, Herman said, "Ahem, I'll tell you the truth, I went to Mountain Flame City because there is the only spatial gate in the eastern world. ”

The green-dressed girl's eyes lit up, she didn't care about being angry, and said curiously: "You want to go on an adventure in the world of light?" ”

Herman hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Uh-huh." ”

Then he asked, "What about you?" What's the plan? ”

As he spoke, he took out a map from the magic ring and handed it to Vera.

"This is the reward for the last mission."

"However, this map is of little use, as it only contains detailed maps of the three nearby city-states, and the other city-states only have an approximate location. If you want to go to a farther city-state, you can only transit through one city-state. I asked Otis about it, and he said that the map of the entire dark world is like this, except for the five major city-states that have a detailed world map, all small and medium-sized city-states only have a map of thousands of miles nearby. ”

Herman also learned about it after the fact, otherwise he would have said that he would not have taken on this task.

Vera's mouth opened slightly, obviously surprised. He took the map, was silent for a while, looked at the juvenile Ai Ai and said, "Herman, can I follow you to the world of light?" They all said that the bright world was good, and I wanted to see it too. But I can't find my way alone, and I'm worried about danger, can you take me with you? ”

The girl's clear and bright eyes were full of anticipation, and her hands restlessly clutched the bag around her waist, kneading the cloth bag back and forth...... The expression of gain and loss is endearing.

Rao is Herman couldn't help but be moved by her thoughts, couldn't bear to refuse, and promised: "Okay, the gifted man covers me, and I naturally can't ask for it." ”

"Really, you promised?"

"Great, thank you."

The green-dressed's eyes widened, and her joy quickly overflowed. Fortunately, her personality is not jumpy, and she didn't jump up to celebrate, but just the girl's little expression of joy is enough to make people's hearts move.

"Then you wait for me, I'll go buy something on the street." After all, having been cared for by the Otis family for a long time, Vera decided to prepare a gift for each of them. Before going out, he suddenly looked back and asked, "Do you want to be together?" ”

Herman thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I also remember that I still have some things to deal with, you can help me buy a gift too, don't be afraid of spending money." ”

Vera nodded and went out.

A few days later, the Dragon Scale Tribe was the first to move into the new city over several large tribes, and even ten members of the tribe of three hundred people were selected into the Guardian Mission, far exceeding the probability that the tribe would be selected for one out of a thousand in the Dragon Servant Army in history......

At the foot of Heilong Mountain, a large area of land has been newly reclaimed, and bread and fruit trees with a thickness of an adult's arm and two or three meters high have been transplanted from the wilderness by migrant workers, and nearly 1,000 acres of fruit trees have been planted in more than two months, and the area is still growing rapidly, and tens of thousands of people can be fed in two or three years.

The infrastructure on the mountain is in full swing, and the farming below the mountain is also vibrant.

After the revival of the volcano, seventeen torches dispelled a large area of darkness, and the migrant workers at this time no longer needed a large number of guards guards, only a small number of low-level knights maintained order.

The trade of Gloom Crystal City has also become active, and many foreign caravans have come frequently recently, and there are also some private caravans in Gloom Crystal City that go out together.

On the other side of these hustle and bustle, the murmuring Gloomy River flows silently, as silent as it has been for thousands of years.

A tiger with a man and a woman sitting on its back.

The young man looked back at the radiant mountain for the last time, then withdrew his gaze, clamped his legs, and said, "Let's go!" ”

The tiger shot away like a sharp arrow in an instant......
