"Wow...... You're so handsome!"

Lilith was crisp and pleasant, with a adoring voice ringing in Lance's ears.

Lance, who was practicing swordsmanship, heard the movement of his hand and hurriedly turned his head to look over.

It turned out that Lilith was already watching with a lot of pitch-black firewood, and when she saw Lance looking at her, she also walked towards Lance.

Beside her, there were some evil spirits carrying the same firewood as Lilith's hand.

"Coming back so soon?"

With a thought, Lance withdrew the sword of Sohana into the heart of magic.

After putting away the sword, Lance saw Lilith jumping up to him with the pitch-black firewood, and then searched for Lance with a pair of curious eyes: "Huh, where's your sword?"

"Hey...... I hid it, and I got so much firewood? It's good, it's enough to last days. ”

Lance scratched his head and hidden.

He didn't want to say too much on the subject, so he digressed from it with a smile and took the pitch-black firewood from Lilith's arms.

But when the firewood was in his hands, Lance felt that something was wrong with the pitch-black firewood, so Lance hurriedly frowned and asked, "Lilith, what is this?"

"This is firewood, you don't even know firewood, do you?"

"But why do I feel that there is an evil ...... on these firewood? There's a strange energy flowing, it's faint, but I can feel it. ”

Lance originally wanted to say that it was evil energy, but when the words came to his lips, he hurriedly changed his words to strange energy.

From what he knew about Lilith, Lilith didn't know what evil meant at all.

"Strange energy, I don't feel it!"

Lilith looked innocent and ignorant, which was really a silly white sweet, which made Lance feel a little helpless.

Since he couldn't ask anything, Lance sighed and didn't prepare to ask.

He put the firewood on the ground, and then built a fire, and as he piled it up, Lilith said, "Can you get your friends to bring the firewood? I'm going to make a fire!"

"Well, okay, you, you...... And you, after putting the firewood here, you can go!"

Looking at the way Lilith commanded these evil spirits, it was like a boss.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that such an evil spirit would listen to the words of an innocent and ignorant girl.

Now that he had firewood, Lance lit the fire with a torch that had not yet been extinguished.

But when the fire was lit, Lance noticed something strange again.

The flame that burned was dark green, which was the same as the dragon fire he saw released by Sister Mary outside the Winter Spring Tavern at that time.

But Lance knew that it was another dark green flame on the continent of Kostana—demonic fire.

Although he knew that it was demonic fire, Lance didn't have any thoughts about it.

Although he was a little shocked, Lance tried to reach over when he saw Lilith sitting by the fire, stretching out her white hands to look like they were warming up around the flames.

It seems that this flame is not much different except for the different colors.

After a while, Lance saw that there was nothing else unusual about this dark green flame, and he simply relaxed his heart.

It's just that he didn't notice that there was a faint trace of black gas in the dark green flames, which was quietly seeping into his body from the soles of his feet.

It's very subtle, but it's real.

"Lilith, what kind of tree is this? The flame looks so strange. ”

"I don't know what tree it is, I've been living under it since I was conscious. ”

"You live under this tree?"

"Yes, there are a lot of delicious black fruits on the tree, I'll pick some later. ”

Hearing that there was something to eat, Lance's stomach grunted inappropriately.

This sound also happened to be heard by Lilith.

She looked at Lance curiously and said, "Are you hungry?"

"Huh...... Sort of, but I've got something to eat here. ”

As he spoke, Lance took out from his bag the dry food that Sister Mary had prepared for them earlier.

But when he took it out, he was surprised to find that except for a few pieces of dried bread wrapped in oiled paper, and a small bag of dried beans that could be eaten, everything else was already moldy and spoiled, and even the remaining half of the wine had lost its taste.

This gave Lance some bad feelings.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lance in a daze with the rotten food, Lilith asked curiously.

"Oh, not much, Lilith, how long have I been falling?"

Now that the food has become moldy and spoiled, and the degree of spoilage is particularly serious, it is definitely not a situation that will only occur in a month or two when food like this is portable and easy to store outside.

Hearing Lance's words, Lilith scratched her head and thought for a while before saying, "It must have been a long time, not long after you appeared here, there were many fierce people coming down from above, but before they got here, they were spoiled by my children." ”

"It's been a long time? Someone has come down? Lilith, can you tell me what has happened during this time?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Subsequently, Lilith roughly said that after Lance fell, a wolf cavalry forcibly came down to search, but after all of them were corrupted by evil spirits, none of them returned alive.

After a period of calm, several more groups came.

However, these people are much stronger than the wolf cavalry, and there are priests among them who they particularly hate.

When Lilith spoke of the priest, Lance couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Lilith, have you ever seen a bald head, about my age, stronger and burlier than me, with the same sword." ”

Lance was almost certain that these people were the helpers Ike had hired.

It could have been Libert's man, or it could have been Gard's man, or it could have been General Patton's arrangement.

"Bald, yes, he is the fiercest person in the back gang......"

"And how is he now?"

Lance asked hurriedly with a frown.

He knew the power of these evil spirits, and if Lance hadn't had the protection of the Seven Swords Spirit in the first place, I'm afraid he would have suffered as well.

"None of them were able to come down here, and they were very annoying to us, so the demons attacked them very strongly, and in the end they had to retreat after many people died. ”

"Oh oh! it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. ”

"What's the matter? Do you know that fierce bald head?"

"Yes, he is a very good brother to mine. ”

"Oh, when he comes, I'll tell the demons not to bully him. ”

"Huh...... Thank you, Lilith, and what else happened after that?"

"The bald head in the back has also been here a few times, but he hasn't been able to break through the barrier here, but he is really fierce, many of my friends have killed me, especially the fiery red sword, if I couldn't get out of the barrier, I would have wanted to clean him up a long time ago, but since he is your friend, next time I come, I will tell him that you are here, so that he doesn't murder us." ”

"Alas......"

Lance sighed and fell into deep thought.

He had just gotten some useful information from Lilith's words.

That's the enchantment here.

It seems that when the abyss is at a certain depth, there is an unknown barrier.

This barrier seals the abyss in it, and the evil spirits can leave the barrier for a short time, but Lilith can't leave it.

Thinking of this, Lance frowned secretly, he had already guessed from Lilith's account that he had been in a coma for a long time.

While Lance was thinking, Lilith had already picked up the bag of edible dried beans and ate them with a clatter, looking like she was enjoying it.

At this time, Lance looked at Lilith, and he also picked up a piece of dry bread and ate it with some spoiled ale.

"What is this? It's delicious!"

Lilith's words pulled Lance back from his stunned stupor.

"Oh, this is dried beans, which can be used to make soybean paste soup, and it is hot and delicious. ”

He looked at this innocent Lilith, and there was always some worry in his heart.

Who the hell is she?

Obviously, she has a strong evil aura on her, but she doesn't feel any threat from her.

Although the faint green flame light made Lilith in black veil look a little weird, but her innocent appearance and beautiful appearance offset this weirdness, is this the temptation of the devil or what?

Looking at Lilith concentrating on eating the beans, Lance was already starting to get a little distracted.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the fire, and Lance recovered from his distraction.

He picked up a piece of wood that had not been used and poked it at the fire, and then he looked at the dark wood and said to Lilith, "Lilith, can you take me to see the tree you are talking about?" ”

"Yes, I'll take you there. Let's go!"

As she spoke, Lilith stood up, but she was still eating the bag of dried beans.

The crunch of Lilith's chewing beans sounded strange in the empty abyss.

Seeing Lilith stand up and walk towards the center of the abyss, Lance also drew a piece of wood from the fire and used it as a torch to light it.

The faint green flame light, although the illumination range is not large, but in this dark and dark abyss, it makes people feel a chilling feeling, and the surrounding white bones remind Lance all the time that this is a very dangerous place.

Lilith led the way alone.

She didn't speak, as if her mind was entirely on the bag of dried beans that she thought were delicious.

Lance followed Lilith in silence, saying nothing all the way, just carefully surveying his surroundings.

As he progressed, Lance gradually felt that the air around him was no longer as dry as it had been at the beginning, but a little damp, indicating that there must be a water source not far away.

And Lance noticed that every time he walked a distance, there were some evil spirits looking at him and Lilith with strange eyes.

Although the form of these evil spirits was just a cloud of black gas, Lance had the feeling of being stared at.

It's like a group of diners looking at food but not being able to eat it.

In the entire abyss, except for the sound of Lance's footsteps and the crackling of burning torches, all that was left was the sound of Lilith chewing beans, which was crisp and strange.

If he hadn't been with Lilith at this time, Lance might have summoned the Sword of Sohana and was ready to fight these demons.

At this point, Lance was starting to get a little nervous, because he felt the sound of Lilith chewing beans, like someone gnawing on bones, made people feel hairy.

Lance tightened the torch in his hand, stopped, and said to Lilith, who was leading the way, "Lilith, how long will it be before we get to the tree you said?"

"Hmm, I think about it, I usually turn into black gas and fly over, but this time I brought you over, I don't know how long it will take, anyway, you just follow me!"

Lilith said, turning her head and chewing on the beans.

She was still as beautiful and seductive as ever.

But at this time, Lance seemed to see that there was a trace of whiteness on Lilith's white face, like a dead person, and a sinister and strange smile appeared on the corner of Lilith's mouth.
