The darkness is endless.

The guardian leaning against the stone yawned and looked boredly ahead. But all that could be seen was the monotonous cold stones, and the light of the fire shone on these thick layers of rock, reflecting a dim light.

This damn dark region!!

Seeing this, the guard couldn't help but yawn again, and when he first came here, he was just as excited as everyone else. But now, as time passed, his enthusiasm for this ghost place became less and less. There is no day, no night, and there is no way to even tell the time. Many times they can only rely on their own physiological reactions to determine whether it is meal time or bed time, and even many times they can't figure out whether they are sleeping at night......... But who cares about that?

The inconvenience caused by the eternal darkness is not bad, those monsters that roam the dark region are the biggest threat, and now he no longer has the idea of returning to the surface with the corpse of the monster in the dark region to brag about his achievements to his friends......... Whoever saw the mutilated corpse of his teammate would probably never have a similar thought again. There was even a time when the young guard was quite reluctant to go out on patrol, fearing that he too would be like his colleagues, walking into the darkness in a daze, and eventually being swallowed up by this vast and terrible dark area.

Luckily, the arrival of the mercenaries had eased their burden, and although they had made a mess of the entire camp, they had been able to free themselves from dangerous patrol duties. Now he was only responsible for guarding and guarding the rear of the stronghold, but of course, it would be great if he could get out of here and return to the surface with warm sunshine.

There was a little light in the distance, and at the sight of this light, the guard immediately tensed up, reached out and pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist, and watched warily ahead. Although it stands to reason that this is a passage connected to the portal, and security can be guaranteed, as a guard, he always has to be loyal, right?

Soon, the light of the fire was getting closer and closer, and with the help of the firelight, the guard could see the person with the torch clearly, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that it is a mercenary sent from the portal again, and the young guard is no stranger to this.

Walking in front was a man with long dark hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a resolute face, who looked to be in his twenties. Unlike the other mercenaries, he wore a black aristocratic dress and wore a sword encrusted with magic crystals around his waist. He was wearing black buckskin boots on his feet, and he looked smart and shrewd.

Behind him was a young girl in a cloak, her face mostly hidden in the shadow of the hood, leaving only a pointed and delicate chin, and the lace on the edge of the hood made her look more like a lady on an outing.

But what attracted the guard's attention the most was the girl trotting all the way next to the man, who looked to be no more than ten years old, wearing a leather armor that was not very suitable for children, and carrying a bulging bag behind her. If you ignore the apparent age of the little guy, then she really looks like a traveler.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Seeing the three of them in front of him, the guard immediately asked in a low voice. Although this is basically a routine for him on weekdays, this time he is sincerely a little curious.

Hearing the guard's inquiry, the three of them stopped, and then the man in charge looked at him before answering.

"I'm Jenn from the Dudensheng family. DU Dengsheng. Pashanon Menth, this is my fiancée, and behind me are my retinue, and we have come from the surface to join the combined army of the Temple and do our part to destroy darkness and evil. ”

“………… It's up to you? ”

Hearing this, the guard frowned and looked at the three of them carefully. Why don't you talk about this man named Jenn, that young lady is weak and powerless? Not to mention this little girl......... Bringing a ten-year-old girl to the dark region, isn't this person sick in the brain?

"Do you have a pass text?"

"Of course."

Hearing the guard's inquiry, Jenn quickly reached into his arms and pulled out a letter stamped with a sacred seal. The guard cautiously took the text in his hand and opened it. Sure enough, inside was the passage of the three people in front of them, and their noble badges were attached to it—a bright red blood snake devouring its own tail.

It turned out to be a small nobleman who didn't go into the stream.

Seeing this, the guards immediately understood what was going on. The coat of arms represents the class of the nobility, and there are a variety of patterns, which are also elaborate. The coats of arms of the upper nobility not only have beautiful patterns, but even engrave the family motto and even the glorious history, but those small families are different, their family coats of arms only have patterns, but no history. This shows that they are not only weak, but also have little prestige.

For such people to guard in the past two days, there are not a lot of people, because the temple has promised to give enough rewards to those who have made meritorious deeds in the dark region, so that many less powerful families are ready to move. There are also many noble heirs of the ruined family who have come here with their personal guards, trying to make a desperate bet, as long as they can win under the nose of the temple, then their family may make a comeback.

The promise of a rich reward for the inhabitants of the surface is a great decoy, mercenaries, warriors, wanderers, organizations trying to expand their power, and even the children of the once ruined family who are fighting for their goals and desires.

"Just the three of you?"

After confirming that there was no problem with the passage of the customs document, the guard returned the certificate and asked with a frown.

"Know that the Dark Regions are much more dangerous than you think, and if you think that a few people are enough to face the darkness here, then you are naïve. And ..............." he said, glancing at the girl who was following Jenn. "I don't think it's the right choice to involve the kids."

"She's my maid and takes care of my daily life."

In the face of the guard's admonition, the other party only waved his hand slightly, and then continued to walk forward. And the two men hurriedly followed him, heading in the direction of the stronghold. Looking at their backs, the guard shook his head helplessly, he had seen too much of these arrogant nobles......... Forget it, I've already said what I should have said anyway, I just hope they're lucky enough to survive in the dark region.

The three adventurers are none other than Jenn, Elise, and Bix. After receiving information from Clariss, Jenn immediately decided that he planned to infiltrate the temple as an adventurer in order to carry out his own plan - after all, he would be able to have enough food and clothing by doing it himself.

Disguise is not difficult for Jenn, and as the son of the Demon King, it is not troublesome for Jenn to become a human. Unless it was the coming of the Holy One, no one would be able to see through his disguise. Not to mention Elise, a half-vampire in perfect form, who looks no different from a human on the surface.

And Bix doesn't need to worry, the gnomes are a neutral race, and although they rarely appear on the surface, they are one of the accepted races of humans. So taking her on a trip wasn't stressful for Jenn. As for the passage of customs......... As long as you casually attack a group of mercenaries who enter the dark region through the portal, and then let Enoa squeeze enough memories out of their bodies, and Jenn can make a small modification of the pass, then it will be no problem.

"Are we really going to do this? My lord? ”

While peeking at the stronghold in front of her, Elise asked in a low voice. It's not the first time she's been to this stronghold, and Jenn and Jenn have blown it up last time. It's just that now it seems that these human beings are not small, and the original messy stronghold that was made by them has now been restored and even expanded a lot. But it was the humans who made Elise uneasy, and although on the surface, these humans were no different from Elise, but Elise's uneasiness about the "surface dwellers" was obviously not so easy to eliminate.

"Take it easy, Elise."

In the face of Elise's inquiry, Jenn was clearly calm.

"These humans will not be able to perceive the difference between you and them, they may be bewitched by your beauty, but they will not discover who you really are. Even the Holy Light can't do anything to you, so what can these things do to you? Remember, you're now my fiancée, a mid-level mage, and you just have to do what you do, understand? ”

“……………”

Elise nodded slightly, to be honest, she didn't like these humans. Although on the surface they seem to be no different from herself, Elise can feel the difference between the two. More than once in Black Onyx Stone City, she had heard her father and others speak contemptuously of these "short-lived species", their arrogance, their arrogance, their stupidity, their greed, their cruelty. And now this scene in the camp in front of her is completely in line with Elise's perception of human beings, just watching those mercenaries screaming loudly and drinking inferior ale, and then fighting because of a few verbal quarrels, has already made Elise's judgment of the human race all the way down, directly to the goblin Cheng dù.

Because of the passage of Guanwen, the three of them were not hindered along the way, and soon walked into the stronghold. And the combination of these three people quickly attracted the attention of the others, after all, most of the people here were low-level people, even the paladins were wearing bright armor. It's quite rare for Jenn to swagger around with two girls in a luxurious dress, and it's strange to say that no one notices.

Because of this, soon after entering the stronghold, Jenn and the others were stopped by a group of mercenaries.
