Chapter 125: Phantom Palace - Return

"Let's use the Eye of Death to decide the winner!" said to Renon in a trembling voice, "The ultimate magic mystery of the Eye of Death, the ultimate magic of the Death Gaze! Do as I say, ...... (Death Gaze: Dark Mind, the ultimate magic mystery of the Eye of Death that can only be used by those who possess the black blood of the Stamoko family. The caster gazes into the opponent's eyes with the Eye of Death, inflicting different effects on the target depending on the length of the gaze. Stares for 1 second causes the target to experience a brief behavioral disorder, 2 seconds of staring causes the target to hallucinate horror, and 3 seconds of staring at the pale blue flame will burn out the target's soul. Initial level unknown)

Coming out of the Sea of Consciousness, Rainon raised his head and stared at the Corpse Witch King's eye sockets with wide eyes. The scarlet light grew stronger, and a pillar of bright red light shot straight into its eyes. The death gaze activated, and the corpse witch king's massive body suddenly froze, and half of the magic released was forcibly canceled, and the out-of-control elements spread everywhere and filled the narrow corridor.

Although Rainon used the Eye of Death to solve the immediate crisis, it is a pity that his current state cannot sustain a magic for long.

"The Death Gaze is guided magic, and its lethality increases over time. In order to kill the opponent, one condition must be met: look at each other for three seconds. Rainon, if you don't want to die, stick to it. ”

"Hold on? It's easy to say, how can I hold on now? It's not a way for you to force me like this......

"You're complaining about the wrong person, it's not me forcing you, it's your enemy Corpse Witch King who is forcing you, if you don't insist, you'll die!"

I still have important things to do, I still have important promises to keep, how can I die in such a place? Die at the hands of filthy undead? Hearing the warning of the trembling voice, Renon suddenly shuddered, he raised his head again, chaotic dark telekinetic fluctuations poured out of his body, and the scarlet light in his eyes became more and more terrifying.

The Corpse Witch King came to his senses, but was immediately stunned by Rinon gaze.

A second now seems like a century to Renong. Dizziness, nausea, choking, numbness...... All sorts of painful feelings swirled in. One second, two seconds...... The eyes are black.

"Rinon!Rinon!" In a daze, Rainon heard someone call his name, and the sweet and lovely female voice was Sister Erica.

"Sister......" Ruinon made a slight sound in his dry throat.

"Wake up, Phil, he's awake!" Samantha stood up and clapped her hands in delight. She turned back to the crowd and said, "Come here, everybody, Phil, he's awake!"

"Wow! this kid is really fateful. Mark shook his head, reluctantly put down the jewelry in his hand and said, "Boy, you are reckless, but you have to be strong, don't you say? ”

"Hey, hey, if we didn't have Phil, we'd still come out alive?" Neil said in a lewd voice as he approached Mark.

"Hmph! strong is strong!" Mark snorted disapprovingly.

Erica wiped the corners of her moist eyes and said, "It's good to wake up!"

"I ...... What's going on? Where is this?" Ruinon stood up and looked around blankly, only to see that he was in the middle of a wilderness. It was now late autumn and winter solstice, and there were a few small green dots scattered here and there on a withered yellow wilderness, which were evergreen bushes all year round. The cold wind blew, Ruinon couldn't help but shiver, this weather can't be said to be sunny and sunny, but it can be regarded as sunny, but it is colder. Alas, it doesn't matter what the hell he is, it's not the Phantom Palace. He thought to himself.

"Phil, have you forgotten?" said Samantha, patting Rinon on the head, "You were really brave at the time. Neither my bow nor Neil's explosive trap could stop the Witch King's advance, and the green mist spread, and we had to fight and retreat. Captain Mark carried the unconscious Arnold on his back ...... as she reminisced about the battle they had fought with the Witch King.

"Nightmare, I know you're the devil, explain to me, what the hell is going on?" Ronon didn't listen to Samantha, but asked Nightmare in his heart.

"What, if you have something to say, don't disturb Uncle Ben's sleep if you don't have anything to do. ”

"What's going on?" asked Renon bluntly.

"What's going on?"

"You know!"

"That's right. You know that Uncle Ben never wants too many people in the world to know about the existence of Uncle Ben, so I created a dream for them and implanted memories to make them think that the Corpse Witch King was defeated by everyone's concerted efforts. What about you...... At the last critical moment, he rushed forward desperately, and died with the Corpse Witch King with the infantile flames, ah! It is too exaggerated to say that he died together! After all, you didn't hang, the Corpse Witch King hung up, and you were just seriously injured and unconscious. The guys have escaped from the Phantom Palace with you on their backs, and come to ......," Nightmare gushed.

"Alright, alright, to put it simply, what about the Corpse Witch King?"

"You killed it, you don't know what to do? Anyway, you did it very thoroughly, and burned its soul completely, it's really ruthless! How can you say that you can also start lightly, and leave some soup residue for me! Woo woo! The soul of a high-level undead creature is gone, it's a tyrannical thing!" said the nightmare and wailed with a sad face.

"Alright, get to the point!, less nonsense!" Renon said impatiently.

"I implanted a memory in them, and then I put the faint back in front of them, and when they woke up, they naturally thought ......"

"Thank you, I understand. ”

"It's good to understand! Uncle Ben will go to sleep again, don't come to disturb me if you have nothing to do!"

"Hey, kid, are you listening to me?" Samantha grabbed her hair angrily when she saw Rynon absent-minded.

"Huh?" Apparently Rinon didn't expect Samantha's reaction to be so violent, "I...... I'm listening. ”

"Sister Samantha, I think Phil may be tired, so don't worry too much. Erica stepped forward and said, "Why don't you all have a break?" ”

"No, we've been here too long, we need to act quickly. Mark asked Neil after packing up his things, "Neil, how's it going?"

"There is nothing special at the moment. I saw that on a tree not far away, the withered yellow leaves trembled and fell, and Neil appeared on it as if he had used space magic to teleport.

"Whether there is a situation or not, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so let's rest when we enter the city!" Mark motioned for everyone to get up quickly.

"Mr. Commander, why are we in a hurry to leave?" asked Ruinon, puzzled.

"The most terrible thing in the world is not the undead or demons, but the human heart. Mark replied with a cold face, regardless of whether Renon could understand it or not.

"Human hearts?" Ruinon asked himself, puzzled, as he propped up the dry earth with his hands, and his thin body struggled.

"Don't push yourself too hard. Seeing this, Erica hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Thank you. Renon thanked Sister Erica. The words that Captain Mark had just said stirred up a wave in his heart, reminding him of the experience he had when he had participated in the Intermediate Magician qualification certification before.

"Let's go, let's go, rest is over!Arnold, get up, put your axe away!," said Captain Mark patting Arnold on the shoulder.

"@#& (River crab waving its paws)!" Arnold was still indignant, "You're all fighting, and I'm sleeping on the sidelines." ”

"As long as you're alive, there's a chance in the future. Samantha put away her quiver and backpack and smiled at Arnold.

"Hey!" Arnold sighed, and the group set off on the road again, heading for the nearest town. Thanks to Neil's careful scouting, they avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble, made it to a nearby town, and then returned to Kevin Lareal via the teleporter. The road was not smooth.

"Welcome to the Wind Demon Mercenary Regiment's headquarters!" After nearly two hours of walking, Captain Mark led everyone to the door of a dilapidated warehouse.

"Oh my God, this is your headquarters, and you've walked so far to see such a dilapidated house?" Erica said disdainfully, looking at the dilapidated warehouse in front of her, "where is this mercenary headquarters? It's a haunted house and a garbage dump. ”

"Ahh

Ruinon's little hand dragged his chin and thought to himself: It really looks like a haunted house! If it is put in the playground, many people will come to visit.

The headquarters of the Wind Demon Mercenary Regiment can be said to be extremely dilapidated. It was a low, small, half-domed shack with sallow walls covered in brown water stains, presumably never cleaned or painted. A rusty iron door was hidden, and the lock was replaced by a thick, long iron chain, which was tied to the doorknob.

"Let's go in first, let's discuss the distribution of the spoils. With that, Mark turned to Arnold and yelled, "Arnold!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" Arnold's lazy voice came from behind. He came to the door, stretched out his strong hands, grabbed one of the links in the chain, and pulled hard. Only a sharp sound was heard, the iron ring straightened, the iron chain slipped off, and the dilapidated iron door slowly opened with a piercing sound. Then a musty smell of dust came to my nose, "Ahem!" Renon and Erica both coughed in unison.

"I'm sorry, but no one usually comes to our headquarters, so I'll ......" Mark grinned.

Renon and Erica walked in with their mouths and noses covered, and the same thought came to their minds at the same time: this is a garbage dump!

The lighting in the shack was poor, and the yellow-brown walls made the already unlit shack even darker. In the center was a square table with a few dried fruit shells and five empty wine bottles scattered on it, and half of the dry dough cake was moldy and grew white, white, green, and green fluff. Four chairs lay on the floor, one of which was missing a leg. On the wall to the right of the table hung a shelf of yellowed newspapers and papers, many of which had fallen to the ground and covered in dust. Behind the table was a pile of miscellaneous items, countless cardboard boxes piled up like a hill, with some broken boots, socks, and towels with holes in between......

Looking at everything in front of her, Erica frowned.

"Come, come, come...... Sit here. Mark didn't care about the mess inside, picked up a chair, blew on it, and beckoned Erica to come in.

"If there's anything to discuss, just say it, and I'll just stand and listen. ”

"Me too. Renon said after glancing at Erica.

"Stand if you want! I'm tired and resting. Arnold didn't care, and sat down at the table with a big grin.

Samantha and Neil didn't sit either.

"Uh-huh!" Mark said, pretending to clear his throat, "aha...... Right now...... First of all...... We celebrate the safe return of all of you from your mission, eh...... It's all about ......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, just say, how do things be divided?" Samantha interrupted Mark with an impatient wave of her hand.

"Uh, Miss Yaounde, Space Ring. Mark stared at Erica with piercing eyes.

Erica stretched out two fingers, and made a "pop" sound with force, white light flashed, and a large pile of debris appeared on the ground in an instant.

"Thirty-five complete agate reliefs, fifty amber ornaments, gold and silver utensils...... Uh, and weapons and equipment...... Mark quickly counted the loot with the help of the group, "Speaking of gear, Phil!" Mark aimed at the black cloak on Ronon with a greedy green glow.

"Captain Mark, I don't want the commission on the agreement, just use this cloak instead!" said Ronon as he clutched the cloak on his body.

"This ...... Phil, we can discuss the cloak and commission!"

"No!" Renon resolutely refused.

"Double it, ten gold coins!"

"......" Ruinon did not say anything.

"Twenty, thirty, forty ?......"

"Captain Mark, my share of the pay is also waived! Phil and I will want this cloak. Erica opened her mouth and said to Captain Mark.

"Sister, you ......"

Rainon was about to say something when he was interrupted by a wave of Erica's hand, who looked at him with a smile.

"Mark, just give up, you actually know in your heart, the two sisters and brothers are really here for the money?" Neil came to Mark and whispered into his ear, "If we turn our faces, will the four of us be their opponents? If we maintain a good relationship, maybe we will ...... in the future."

After listening to Neil's advice, Mark sighed and said, "Okay! After saying that, he glanced at Ruinon reluctantly. (Reader Q: Oh, hehe! Author: You You...... Where do you think of it. οΌ‰

"Good...... What a ...... Mr. Regiment Commander. Rainon got goosebumps from this look.

"Our contract is overdue. Erica took the contract out of the space bag and said to Captain Mark, "Then we'll ...... it"

"Wait! Miss YaoundΓ©. Commander Mark interrupted her and said, "This contract is renewable. I found our cooperation to be a success on the whole!Miss Yaounde, you can't be satisfied with just one visit to the Phantom Palace, not to mention the fact that there are many ancient ruins, inaccessible forests, and treacherous canyons on this continent...... We'll keep this contract, and if you need anything to get us, come to the Mercenary Guild and find us. ”

"Well, it's time to go home. We've been away from home for so many days, and mom and dad must have started to worry about us. Erica put away her contract, took Ronon and said goodbye to Mark and left.

"Just let them go?" Arnold looked a little dissatisfied.

"Can't you see that?" Samantha asked, giving him a white look.

"What can't you see?"

"They didn't join our mercenary group for money in the first place, their purpose is most likely this cloak. Besides, they don't use their real names, so they can accept them when they see them! For those characters in the upper class, it is better for us ordinary civilians to have less contact. At least this is a bumper harvest, right?" Seeing that the two siblings were far away, Captain Mark took out the enchanted two-handed sword he had picked up from the Phantom Palace and gently wiped it.
