To the south of Hehu Town, a desolate place.

It's far from the Bain River and some distance from the Black Tower. The sparse populace allowed weeds to spread everywhere, but the Holt cemetery was built on this desolate land.

Unlike the irascible and chaotic gray dwarves and the vicious black elves, the Holts are one of the most orderly races in the underworld.

At least they also knew how to bury the dead, and according to Holt custom, the dead who were buried would have a better fate when they died. Therefore, the Holts of River and Lake Town, no matter what sins they committed in their lifetime, as the same race, they will bury them here.

Gray light fell from above, and the sky above the space was full of gray crystals. The glow of this crystal is the dimmerest of all crystals, so the atmosphere here is particularly cold and desolate.

In the tall barren grass, a hand suddenly stretched out and picked up the man-tall barren grass.

Lance stepped out of the haystack and looked down for the tracks.

"It looks like someone has just walked the road recently. There are a lot of Holts who have died recently, and it's really troublesome to find them one by one. ”

It was already the fourth hour of his busy work in the cemetery.

Within four hours, he searched hundreds of new Holt tombs, but could not find the man he was looking for. In desperation, he also knew that it was himself who caused this situation, and he couldn't complain about anyone at the moment, so he could only calm down and continue to search.

Blackbeard said that Jenfany would not die, no matter what kind of trauma her body was under. They're all going to be reborn in a certain amount of time - that's a curse? Constant respawning is a formidable ability, okay?"

Lance complained in his heart.

His goal was to find the tomb where the Holts had buried her before Jeffany was reborn.

He always had a special premonition in his heart that this unique girl seemed to be hiding something.

"She told me to find Blackbeard, presumably knowing that Blackbeard's blood wasn't good enough to translate the entire notebook. Lance thought quietly, "But why did she do this? She hated me to the core, and must not have been so kind to help me." ”

"Originally, I thought it was because people were about to die, and their words were good. But her intention to tell me about Blackbeard's whereabouts when she knew she wouldn't die was a bit weird. But I've moved Blackbeard to another safe place, and I'm sure she'll not be able to play any tricks. ”

Jenfoni's actions made Lance a little puzzled.

The heart of the underworld is far more sinister than the surface, and Lance has just been betrayed once by the honest lizardmen. I won't be gullible anymore.

Walk through layers of wild grass. Lance came to a brand new cemetery, and the annoying grass was more than a man tall enough to block Lance's view.

It is precisely because of these weeds, which represent among the Holts that can protect the soul through the ship of life, that Lance is looking for such trouble. Otherwise with the power of black bats and eagle eyes. He should have found Jeffonie's grave a long time ago.

When it first started. Lance even wanted to burn the weeds on fire. But vaguely. When he moved this thought, he immediately sensed that there seemed to be a burst of power awakening in the cemetery.

The power was obscure, but powerful enough. Immediately made Lance discourage the plan to use the Hand of Vulcan in the Holt cemetery.

He didn't want to have a lot of trouble at this pass, especially since it wasn't far from the Black Tower. If those councillors intervene and get in, Lance will be in a lot of trouble.

"Let's take our time to find the graves one by one. ”

With this in mind, he walked back and forth in front of the tombstones.

Finally, after half an hour, his footsteps stopped.

【Tomb of Jenfany Ehrenin】

A new standard tombstone stands quietly on the grave, and her father's name is Carter Ehrenin.

"I've finally found you. ”

A small smile twinked at the corner of Lance's mouth. He suddenly pulled out a shovel and dug up Jenfone's grave.

......

As soon as the loess was shoveled away by a huge shovel, the thick bag of soil gradually collapsed, and finally a thin layer of soil was exposed.

Lance's strength is far beyond ordinary people, so he is also very efficient in digging graves.

In just ten minutes, a small dirt bag was hollowed out by him in one go.

"Bang dang!"

The crisp metallic sound of the shovel lit up Lance's eyes.

The Holts believed that steel could protect the souls of the dead from otherworldly creatures, so the coffins were all made of iron.

He tossed the shovel aside and peeled the dirt away, revealing the top layer of the coffin.

Just as he was about to continue digging, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Everyone is dead, what do you want to find her?"

Lance was suddenly shocked, who could sneak close behind him?

He turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind him!

"You can't see me because I'm a geist. The female voice continued, "The geist can choose to be seen, or not. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew, and a translucent geist appeared in front of Lance.

"Jenfony?" Lance said tentatively.

"Mr. Lance, I didn't realize that you still have the status of an agent of death. Janfoni's geist said with some sarcasm: "I could have been reborn a long time ago, but I was deprived of the mark of death by you, and the order of life and death cannot be balanced, so I have failed to resurrect three times in a row." ”

"Hehe......" Lance chuckled dryly, he had realized this when he had heard Blackbeard say it before.

Although Jenfany can be infinitely reborn, there is only one mark of death. When she died, [MGM's Appreciation] automatically absorbed the mark of death, which would affect her rebirth.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"But don't be complacent. The curse I received was very special, not only physically, but also spiritually. It is also possible to resurrect. Soon, I'll be able to reunite a mark of death. Jenfone said coldly: "Your status as a deroof agent does not work for me. ”

"If you are infinitely reborn, then why are you afraid of death?" Lance didn't get angry, but threw the question.

"Didn't Blackbeard tell you? It's a curse. What is a curse, you should know very well, right?"

Janfany said with some pain: "Of course I am afraid of death, because I am born again, although I am still Jeffoni and still have certain memories, I am no longer the current me." ”

"My personality will change dramatically. My body must also reintegrate with a new biological bloodline. The person who was reborn was actually not exactly the same as me now. ”

"I see. Lance nodded. He was curious about the curse.

Only this time, without waiting for him to speak, Jenfany preemptively said:

"So. You should understand the purpose of my appearance. ”

Lance muttered, "If the mark of death condenses quickly. Then you're running out of time. ”

"Correct. Jenfany nodded bitterly, "Since you're here." That proves you're really interested in the Iron Labyrinth. You mentioned a deal before, and I wasn't interested in that deal, and now. I'd like to mention another deal. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"When I am resurrected, I will provide my blood to help you translate Sauter's notebook. With Blackbeard's dead fat man, and my help, the contents of the translation notebook are definitely enough. But as far as I know, the contents of the notebook only record the main points of the first eight layers, and the secrets of the ninth layer are known only to me. This is my bargaining chip for working with you. The geist said, "I want to enter the steel labyrinth with you and challenge the steel tower." Don't know about this deal, are you interested?"

"What do you want to get. Lance asked rhetorically.

"My purpose is simple, and that is to get one thing - the [Witch's Tears] that Master William left on the ninth floor of the Tower of Steel. ”

Jeffany said in a low voice, "That is what my father and I have been striving for all our lives. ”

"I don't want anything else. ”

......

"Witch's Tears, what's that?"

Inside the Apothecary's cabin, Bonnie asked blankly.

"Something to break the witch's curse. Mileni replied very dryly, "This time I returned to this hellish place to get the Witch's Tears on the ninth floor of the Steel Tower. This is very important for our organization. ”

"The Witch's Curse?"

"Yes. The curse of the Twelve Witches can be broken. Mileni said, "In the underworld, there is a branch of the Holts called the Hani. There are many geniuses in this race, but they are often burdened with a terrifying curse. If we can get this item, then it will be more convenient for us in the Midnight Secret Society to control those geniuses of the Hani clan. ”

"So when the maze opens in a week, I'll definitely go in. You weren't allowed to leave this compound during my absence, understand?"

In the last sentence, Mileni's tone was quite stern.

"yes, I see. Bonnie replied meekly. Her head was buried so low that it was impossible to see her eyes.

......

"That thing can break the curse of your Hani clan?" Lance felt a little relieved.

If what Jenfany said was true, it would have been explained.

Sauter's grandfather was a Hani who presumably entered the Iron Labyrinth to obtain the Witch's Tears, but he failed, so he left a notebook that only the Hani could truly get their hands on. And Jenfone also wants to get rid of the painful curse of constant rebirth, so it is understandable to pursue Witch's Tears.

"In fact, it only takes one Hani to take the Witch's Tears. The curse of our entire race will be removed. ”

"But for so many years, no one has been able to do this. ”

"The witch who cursed us hated us so much that she cursed our entire race. ”

"Which of the twelve witches do you mean?"

Lance felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and he actually got involved with Takaron.

"The witch of the night of the previous generation, her name is simple, Irene. (To be continued......)
