"Ahem...... Didn't you make a mistake two days ago...... What is dead and alive......"

Qiao Nan's tail began to flick nervously, and her fair cheeks began to heat up rapidly: "How do you know! ”

Several merfolk looked at Qiao Nan sympathetically and sighed.

"Your Highness, we are just lying down from hunger, not completely starving, and you can still hear what you say."

"Later, in order to save your dignity, you forcibly pulled the griffin to try to prophecy for the third time, and we heard it."

"And the griffin is not willing to cooperate, you forcibly pull the griffin's head, and finally it is chased and pecked until it cries, and we still hear it."

"Your Highness, you still have a wound on your waist from being pecked by a griffin."

“……”

Qiao Nan's face became redder and redder, and his tail wagged wildly in the water.

Is such an embarrassment with a capital letter, can a young and helpless little mermaid like him bear it!

Qiao Nan clutched his waist and plunged back to the bottom of the sea.

There is no place for this sea.

He's going to swim ashore overnight!

*

Ulysses is trapped in an infinite loop of nightmares.

It's a dream that's clear to real.

In that room shrouded in the forbidden magic array, he was like a pig beast that those butchers in Tower City pressed hard, impotent trapped under the shackles of those shackles.

Countless black shadows walked around in front of his eyes, and faintly, he seemed to hear the roar of a demonic beast not far away.

The sound was all shattered, only the tingling in his chest was so real, he gasped violently, but he couldn't feel his own heartbeat.

The first to disappear is vision, then pain, touch......

Before the world fell into complete silence, Ulysses seemed to hear someone asking himself—

"Ulysses, how long can you keep your proud knightly heart?"

The heartbeat is gone.

His world was reduced to nothingness.

The next moment, he awoke from the void again, restrained, and continued to struggle, and then his chest was cut open by the cold blade.

The man would still smile and ask him.

How long can your knightly heart last?

Over and over.

The pain was too unforgettable, and the knife and the words seemed to be deeply rooted in his mind, making it difficult for him to forget.

Those who have died once will never forget the taste of death.

What's more, he has died so many times, as if he has been drowned in the bottom of the sea again and again, deep in the mud, and then forcibly dragged out and then plunged into the deep sea.

After being caught in this endless death environment again, I don't know how many times, the pale hand once again dragged him up from the bottom of the sea.

Next, will it be the pain of death?

Ulysses' faint consciousness remembered the countless deaths, but what he was waiting for was not the cold blade, nor the mocking words.

This time, he opened his eyes.

Almost knee-jerk, Ulysses jerked his head down at his chest.

In the blurred vision, there were no bright red blood marks, no hideous knife edges, only a soft robe.

It was at this moment that Ulysses' scattered gaze gradually gathered, and he saw where he was.

Instead of the glow of the Forbidden Magic Array, there was a soft and warm orange-shaped magic nightlight, which Ulysses vaguely remembered as a gift he bought for his brother when he was ten years old, because young Corinth was afraid of the dark and did not dare to sleep on his own.

The blanket was also a soft duvet embroidered with a flamboyant bramble rose family crest, which was Angus's hobby.

The sweet and gentle aromatic scent that permeates the pillow is also familiar, which Wellster intends to concoct from roses in the garden.

And the cushions beside the bed, the tea set on the low table, and the snoring lightning at his hand—if it weren't for the obvious earthiness of the walls, he would have had the illusion of returning to the castle of the Thorn Rose.

At that moment, his soul shattered in the countless illusions of true death seemed to have finally settled down.

Ulysses raised his hand and rubbed Lightning's head a few times with his palm.

The latter waited for his master for too long, and was so tired that he fell asleep completely, and only whispered a low "whoosh" from his throat.

Before Ulysses could get up, there was a rustling sound outside the house, and the next moment, several figures appeared in front of Ulysses.

Ulysses knew the handsome young man who was at the forefront, and he was a good friend of Corinth.

Yao Tan walked quickly to Ulysses first, then took out two pills, and quickly introduced: "This is the pill I prepared for you, take two pills first to see the effect." ”

"Brother, Yao Tan is very powerful, you believe him." Collins nervously proved it for his friend.

Ulysses was stunned, reached out and took the two pills casually, and swallowed them in one gulp.

The bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue, but it seemed like a good thing for Ulysses, which at least proved that he was not dreaming.

He pulled himself out of that terrible dream.

Collins carefully poured a cup of hot water for his brother, soaked in wolfberries and red dates given by the herb, tested the temperature with the back of his hand, and handed it to Ulysses's mouth.

"You drink, I have soaked Sister Li Li in this water for the past two days, and she said that it tastes very good."

Ulysses was stunned, Corinth used to be the most willful and ignorant person in the family, when will he take care of people?

After confirming that Ulysses was not in danger of his life for the time being, Yao Tan and Li Li retreated very considerately, leaving a separate space for conversation to the two brothers.

After swallowing the glass of water, Ulysses calmed down and spoke in a deep voice.

"Corinth, where is this, Hirzer and Muxi...... Where is it now? ”

Inside the house, Corinth whispered to his brother about the events that had taken place in the short period of time, from the Monster Rebellion in the Misty Forest, to the imprisonment of him and Yao Tan, to Li Li's attempt to save people, to the chaos of the Nanta City revealed in the summons of Xiren and Ariel......

Li Lijing sat on the soft chair and thought about the sword moves, while Yao Tan on the other side was holding a booklet and comparing the prescriptions with a serious expression.

Hearing the muffled voice inside, Yao Tan couldn't help but glance at it, and then sighed silently.

"I talked to the priest on their team ...... Kuchaz earlier."

Li Li looked up and was curious: "When did you become so familiar with Kuchaz again?" ”

If I'm not mistaken, that Kuchaz also helped them talk a few days ago, and it seems that it is Yao Tan's face again.

"Fortunately, I sent a little bit of Bigu Dan's friendship, and they are actually not bad." Yao Tan briefly summarized, then skipped this point and continued: "That priest told me that soul damage is difficult to heal, and Ulysses' strength will be greatly affected...... Even so serious that he could no longer be a griffin knight. ”

Li Li was stunned, she had heard that the minimum standard for a griffin knight was a high-level magic warrior.

Meaning, Ulysses is likely to fall two realms in a row?

Yao Tan pursed his lips: "Maybe that's why those griffon knights haven't come to see Ulysses these days. ”

At first, the griffon knights would send someone to greet Ulysses every day, but after two days no one came. It was precisely because he found that they didn't seem to care about his brother that Collins carefully arranged the four-bedroom apartment that Li Liduan had and brought him here to recuperate.

Li Li frowned and looked at the movement inside.

Ulysses himself should be very aware of his current situation, and he also knows that he has fallen from the position of the most dazzling heavenly pride in the entire continent, and if he were replaced by someone else, he would at least cry bitterly and start to shut himself, but at present, it seems that his mood is quite stable.

It's a bit like a sword cultivator adhering to the spirit of "earn if you don't die", and the senior brother may like it......

Li Li was recalling Ulysses' very good swordsmanship and thinking about whether to dig into the corner of the god of light, when Ulysses and Corinth came out of the room.

Although Ulysses' breath became very weak, he still straightened his waist and walked steadily in front of Li Li step by step.

"Thank you for saving Corinth." Ulysses made a knightly salute, and this was the first thing he said.

Li Li was already a little ready to dig into the wall, so at this moment, he immediately put on the social expression of the head of the house that he had learned from the senior brother, smiled decensively and steadily, and was ready to say a few polite words.

As a result, before Li Li could speak, Ulysses over there continued to thank him one by one.

"Thank you for saving Heizer...... Saved the lightning...... Saved the elves...... Saved me......"

“……”

After Ulysses' speech-like long thank-you speech, Li Li was numb.

She didn't want to dig into the corner of the God of Light now, and the Heavenly Sword Sect would never allow this kind of overly mature and steady master and nephew.

"No thanks, you sit." Li Li bowed lightly at Ulysses.

Ulysses fell silent for a moment, and just as Li Li thought he was about to conceive another long speech, he suddenly spoke.

"I think you'd like to know what I went through in prison."

Li Li was stunned, but he didn't expect Ulysses to take the initiative to speak.

"Hmm." She nodded calmly, "We are indeed a little curious, but if these things involve the secrets of your Church of Light, and I know that it will be destroyed in the future, I am not interested." ”

She didn't want to cause trouble for the Heavenly Sword Sect because of her extra curiosity.

Fortunately, Ulysses shook his head: "This matter should not be a secret. ”

"I've been trapped in that secret room since I was taken to that secret room by the necromancers, and later, Mu Qian and Xi Ze were also brought over."

"The necromancer originally wanted to invite the three of us to join, and the person who came to meet us was the second of them."

"Then Number Two left for some reason and never returned. Corinth told me that he teleported to the city of Nanta and caused a great disaster there. ”

"And then the thirteenth came to us, and to be exact, he was looking for me."

Li Li listened very carefully, the power of the thirteenth was not as great as that of the second, so he did not dare to move Mu Qian and Xi Ze, who had more special identities, and only dared to attack Ulysses.

Or, in other words, to make an example of the monkey, Ulysses is the poor cooing chicken.

Ulysses' voice also paused for a moment, as if recalling something bad.

It was a long time before he regained his voice.

"I don't remember clearly, I can't tell if it's a dream or reality, and that terrible memory kept repeating itself in my mind until I just woke up."

"I dreamed ...... I was taken by Thirteen to be transformed. ”
