"I say, the guards outside, you have forgotten about me, old man, two days, two whole days, where have you gone?" Xavier complained. He was worried that the two prison guards had forgotten him about this unfettered place. Then, he saw Philip coming over, and he got to Philip with an injury in the arm.

"Master Mage, I haven't seen you for two days, are you still quite energetic? Are you hungry? I haven't forgotten your old man. Look at the food basket in my hand, it's full of goodies. Philip ripped off the polished key, opened the cell, and entered. After that, he placed the basket on the old wooden table.

"What about Valentino, what have you been doing these two days?" muttered Xavier. Philip exudes a sad aura about him...... Moreover, his eyes were dark and his eyes were red and swollen, all of which Xavier saw in his eyes.

"Valentino, he's fine, but he's crazy. That damn guy, I told him many times not to argue, but he just wouldn't listen. It's good now, I don't even have a hunting companion with us. Philip White said angrily. He took out the contents of his pocket and handed them to Xavier.

"This is Valentino's greedy goof's lucky coin. Xavier frowned.

"This is what the guy asked me to give you. Philip explained.

"This is what he confessed after he went crazy, and I was also surprised. A madman still has something to entrust. Philip thought it was incredible, but he told him what was going on.

"Uh...... I see, I'll take it. Hopefully he can fool his employer. Xavier put the coin in a book called The Devil and Me.

Philip recognized the book, and it was the one that Valentino read.

"Let's see what other books we can read, and we're done reading them," muttered Xavier, "well, the old fellow can't bear the loneliness of the flickering lamp, and I hope he'll be able to wield his sword." ”

At this time, the distant Mochizuki Plains were covered in fog, and the village of Grimrose was completely sunk into the deep darkness of the night, where the person Xavier was talking about, and in addition to that, there was the figure of Glori and his party.

Glori woke up after a short rest. He was in his study looking at a book called "The Devil and Me."

"Mr. Carlos, this is an interesting book about how an ordinary human fights with his demonic employer. Hogan said. He had a goatee, and he was neatly trimmed, and his eyes were piercing. He is the owner of this house. He was on crutches and wrinkled like the old men he usually saw, and the old men of Grimrose usually did not like to disturb their children, preferring to stay in the ancestral house, looking at everything familiar and looking forward to their visit.

"Daddy Hogan, this book is really interesting. Thank you for allowing us to spend the night here. And here are some books that are rarely seen. Glori replied politely.

"It's nothing, I'm the only place willing to take in passers-by. It's all gone, and only this one inn remains. Hogan Alec muttered.

"Glori, you haven't slept so late, you're really hopeless. Dylan, who slept in the upstairs room, exclaimed.

"Your friend seems to care about you. Hogan Alec said with a smile.

A warmth welled up in Glori's heart. "They are all reliable, and I wouldn't be where I am without them. He said softly. His sword lit up slightly.

"Can you show me your sword? I believe it's a good sword. Hogan sat up from his recliner.

"Look, this is a sword given to me by my mentor. Glori took the sword from his waist and handed it to him.

"It's a good sword indeed, and I can feel the blessed power of the sword. This power is familiar, and rare. Hogan touched the blade lightly.

"Well, this sword has saved me many times. It has always been my faithful companion. Glori took the sword.

Hogan lost his sleepiness after seeing the sword. "You must know a lot about swords. Come with me, I'll show you something. There is a hole under the study. He laughs.

"Well, I'm sorry for your trouble. Glori followed Hogan.

"Help me move this bench aside, it's really getting in the way. Hogan admonished. When Glori moved the bench, he stepped on the plank under his feet, and the plank opened, revealing an underground staircase.

"Come, take a look at my collection. Hogan lit the oil lamp in the basement. The displays on the surrounding wooden shelves shimmered with blades.

"......," Glori said in surprise, speechless. Hogan's basement is an arsenal, and the swords on display are all rare.

"That's what you're looking at, help me see that there might be a fake in these objects, and I don't want to be deceived by those black market guys. Hogan said.

"Silver swords, these swords are expensive, how do you ......" Glory took the diamond-encrusted sword from Hogan, "this sword is even more valuable, and the slightest touch of the blade cuts your fingers." Glori was a little excited, he had never seen so many valuable weapons.

"It's still a long time, take a closer look at it. Hogan sat down and said. He gently closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Daddy, my eyes are going to take a spent, these swords are too valuable, you shouldn't let an outsider like me see them easily. Glori carefully put the sword back in its place, then looked at the rest carefully.

Dylan wondered what Glori was doing downstairs, so he came downstairs. 652 Literature Network

"Glori, where are you? Strange, I heard a voice just coming from here. It's weird. Dylan scratched his neck and sat down on the bench with his eyes squinted after walking through the bookcase in the dark. Then, he took a nap, stepped on the air carelessly, and fell into the basement.

"Dylan, why are you awake?" asked Glori, seeing Dylan on the wooden frame. He pulled Dylan up.

Dylan gave the nuts to Glori. "It hurts, there's not even a light on it, I don't know how to get down. He wondered.

"You're still eating so late, it looks like we're all the same. Glori whispered.

"Haha," Dylan laughed, "there are so many dazzling babes, I didn't even notice them just now." Hey, I said, these must be worth a lot of money and can buy a lot of good food. His eyes sparkled, like he saw bags of coins.

"Shhhh You'd better go upstairs and eat. I took the nuts, but I'm not hungry yet. Gotta help Daddy see the baby here," Glory shrugged, "but you'd better go and rest, we're on our way tomorrow." ”

"I can only look at these treasures, it's a pity......" Dylan reluctantly turned to the exit, then turned his head and said. And Glori looked at one and looked at another. His eyelids were heavy, and he finally fell asleep beside the wooden frame.

"What? what do you want to say to me?" a dark whisper sounded within Glori.

"I? Who are you talking about? I'm not the young man you're looking for, I'm a demon like you, but it's you orderlies who call me that. Hogan said to the darkness.

"You're not Glori Carlos, who the hell are you? How did you get here?" the darkness continued to whisper.

"This young man has been haunted by you for a long time, has he? I sensed the darkness in him from the moment he entered the door. Hogan slowly walked to the edge of the abyss, staring at the darkness rising out of the abyss.

"Nosy old man, get out of here. The darkness said angrily.

"Don't worry, I can't get you out, I just want to help this kind guy and make him live a little longer. Hogan said calmly.

"This young man is very different from the previous travelers. They all want my babes. While I was asleep, he didn't plan to kill me and take the stuff from here. I just wanted to help him, kind of praise for his kindness. Hogan muttered, and drew closer and closer to the darkness.

"Stay away from me, damn creature, I remember you! Your breath reminds me of a creature that disgusts us Order! Get out of here!" the darkness boiled.

"Daddy, why are you here?" Glori's figure appeared, being pulled in by the darkness as a shield.

"Young man, it's just a dream, sleep well. It will be sunny when you wake up. Hogan admonished. His phantom sword pierced through Glori, piercing through the darkness at the same time.

"Ah, one day I'm going to devour him!, none of you can stop it!" the darkness was trapped by the power of the sword.

......

"Little brother Glori Carlos, it's time to wake up, it's almost dawn. Hogan shook Glori, who was sleeping soundly in the basement.

When Glori woke up from his dream, he felt much lighter, breathing well, and in a very good mood. Smelling the smell of breakfast, Glori and Hogan put their belongings in order and left the basement.

"Glori, go on...... Susan's delicious cooking. Dylan came out of the kitchen and tossed a piece of pancake to Glory.

"It's hot, but it tastes so good, and it's really Susan's craft. Glori blew on the pancake and took a bite, which was sweet and lightly salty.

"Glori, you must have slept soundly last night, and you couldn't see the exhaustion on your face at all. Susan untied her scarf and came out of the kitchen.

"Last night, I had a good dream. Glori said with a smile. He shared the pancakes on his plate with Hogan, the owner of the house.

"Thank you, this breakfast was the best in a long time, it was delicious. Thank you so much, Susan. "Hogan was very happy with the breakfast. He remembered the meals made by the chefs of the court. But when he remembered those loyalty trees, he withdrew the smile from his face.

As the fog cleared, Glori reached out of the window to catch the raindrops, which fell on his hands only as large as gravel. "Friends, it's getting late, we should say goodbye. Pack up the bows and let's go. He said.

"It's not a bad thing to get drenched in the rain, because this cool light rain is a gift from nature. Dylan pouted and shrugged. He put the pizza in the package and pushed the door open. Those precious swords, what a pity, what can an old man do with those swords?,he thought.

"It's something we all love, especially Glori. This washes away the dust and worries from us. Iris reassured. She also prayed.

Susan mounted her horse and was stunned to see Glori. "What's wrong with you, Glorry, let's go?" she asked.

"Iris is right, and that's a good thing. Glori agreed. A very vague memory flashed through his mind the moment he went out, and the voice in this memory told him: "Keep these swordsmanship in mind, they will help you, this is for you." ”
