Klein Continent.

It is a wonderful world, from the sky, the vast expanse of green with a lively atmosphere spreads out like a carpet, the towering mountains form a crescent moon that separates the entire continent into three parts, and the dazzling blue sea floats incessantly, as if a hymn to life. It has experienced countless sufferings, wars and ruins. It has endured the wrath of the demon gods and the destruction of miè, but when a qiē passes, the continent is still so vibrant and full of vitality.

In the face of time, everything is nothing.

Jenn closed the heavy book in front of him and let out a long breath, he turned his head and looked out the window. What greeted Jenn's eyes was no longer the dark, gloomy, oppressive rock formations and stone walls of the dark region. Outside, the verdant leaves of the trees move in the wind, and the bright and soft moonlight in the night sky pours on the ground, with an intoxicating tranquility. The chirping of insects in the distance blends with the rustle of leaves to form a beautiful serenade.

Leaving the Valkyrie Principality was easier than expected, and the exit to the portal was originally set up in the sparsely populated border mountains. And in order to make things easier, the Valkyrie Principality stationed most of its troops in the dark regions, after all, the outside mountain area also has to consider the temperature difference between day and night, wind and rain. In the dark area, not only is the temperature constant, but there are also thick rock formations as a barrier, so you don't have to worry about the wind and rain. As a result, the Duchy of Valkyrie's troops are basically on the other side of the portal, and the exit on this side of the surface is only symbolically left with a patrol to guard it.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with such an arrangement in the Valkyrie Principality, if Pander finds out that there is some trouble. He can immediately notify the patrol, who will then go to inform the Valkyrie Principality. But I didn't expect Jenn to pit these soldiers hard enough. Dig a tunnel along with Brandon Stone City, and then lure the Valkyrie Duchy's soldiers into it. Then there is the rhythm of being chopped to death by the gray dwarves.

If that's all there is to it, Jenn is still dead in the back with a secret door to bet on the retreat of these soldiers, it is a kind of high-level trap born in the dungeon system, it looks similar to an ordinary smooth stone wall on weekdays, but only when the people of the dungeon enter it will quietly open and reveal a passage. And the soldiers of the Valkyrie Principality are definitely not members of the dungeon system, so they are directly killed by the army of gray dwarves in the secret passage, even if there are occasionally one or two fish that slip through the net, it is absolutely impossible to escape.

In fact, even Jenn didn't expect it to be so smooth, and the reason why he held the image of the Sage was just in case. When the Valkyrie Principality is looking for trouble for itself, he can pull the back of the Temple of the God of War. But he didn't expect things to go more smoothly than he imagined, Pan De originally wanted to kill Jenn by surprise, so he hastily mobilized a large number of people, but he forgot to notify the rear. As a result, he didn't expect to take a wrong step, and the soldier he was carrying had become the ghost of the gray dwarf's axe, and the people outside had no idea what was going on inside. As a result, when Jenn and the others rushed out, the patrols of the Valkyrie Principality thought it was just an ordinary rotation, but they were directly knocked to the ground by Locks and the paladins, and all the remaining ones were thrown into the wilderness to be with the bears.

Locks, who had already obtained the image of the Sage, obviously did not intend to continue to fight with the Valkyrie Duchy here. Now that the purpose of the Temple of the God of War has been achieved, it is not a wise choice to continue to stay in the territory of the Valkyrie Principality. Luckily, the exit of the portal was originally located in the inaccessible border area of the Valkyrie Principality, so after leaving the portal, Locks did not choose to rest in place, but led everyone on a rapid march. After a day and a night of arduous trekking, he left the land of the Duchy of Valkyrie and arrived in Cardiff, a neutral city in the northern wilderness. Long before this adventure, due to the sinister relationship with the Valkyrie Principality. The Temple of the God of War has moved its base camp from the Valkyrie Principality here, and now it seems. It's a wise choice.

Upon entering Cardiff, Jenn handed over the statue of the Sage to Locks and Archbishop Bosson, who had arrived to meet him. And after getting the statue of the Sage, the two of them naturally thanked Jenn for a thousand thanks. Then he hurriedly returned to the temple with the image of the saint and began to pray. The mercenaries who had followed them had already been sent away by the temple with money, and they were very satisfied with this adventure, not only did they have a worthy battle with the evil creatures of the dark region, but they also got a lot of loot from the underground, and now the temple has given them enough money to squander - this is already satisfactory for the mercenaries.

It's just that compared to the mercenaries who scattered in a hurry after getting paid, Jenn and the others wasted more time. According to Archbishop Bosson, they would first have to bring the statue back to the temple and then report it to the Templar Order, before finally being able to obtain the authorized title of nobility that Jenn wanted from the Order. So Jenn had to stay in the inn next to the temple and wait for the troubles to come to an end—of course, he didn't have to pay for the lodging out of his own pocket.

I don't know how long those pretending to be ghosts will have to toss.

Thinking of this, Jenn withdrew his gaze and looked at the temple tower not far away. Ever since the statue of the Sage was recovered, everyone, including Archbishop Bosson and Chief Paladin of Locks, locked themselves in the temple, saying that they were going to perform some kind of ritual of communicating with the gods. Although Jenn was very interested in this, he finally chose to give up after thinking about it for a long time. After all, this whole thing is very strange, if this is really the ghost of those sub-gods in the Sky God Kingdom, Bao Buqi will find out his disguise at the ceremony site, and it will be even more troublesome if things go wrong. So in the end, Jenn decided to keep a low profile and get the benefits first.

But...............

Jenn turned his head to look to the other side, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, showing a mocking smile at Elise and Bix, who were standing in front of the window and looking out curiously.

For any ordinary person, they would think. Creatures that have left the Dark Regions will be fascinated by the beauty of the world in front of them, because the surface of the earth has a unique charm that cannot be revealed in the Dark Regions. Bring a warm sun, a soft night sky. The clear water and the verdant grasslands are two worlds compared to the deep, almost breathless gloom and death in the dark region. So they agreed that being able to escape from that dark and terrifying area was a victory in itself.

In fact, what is in front of Jenn at this moment is the appearance that the real underground dwellers will have.

"Lord, master......... When are we leaving? I want to go home........."

Bix was crying, her hands clutched to the window, and she stared at the sky outside with a pale face. She had a rope tied around her waist, and the other was attached to the bedside table next to her. According to Bix, this was to avoid falling into the sky -- the stones were on top of it, and she couldn't imagine why anyone could live in such an environment. There was not even a solid rock formation above their heads, and they were not afraid that they would fall into the sky and never come back?

Not only Bix, but Elise also looked depressed and lost at the moment, she was a little better than Bix as a resident of Black Onyx Stone City. Elise had heard more or less about the surface from her father. Of course, as a half-vampire in perfect form, Elise doesn't need to be afraid of the sun like her own father. But she was just as afraid of the terrible fireball that would fly in the sky. Elise thought that the large fireball must have been able to levitate in the sky with some magical power. And when it falls to the ground, it burns a qiē on the earth. And the temperature change between day and night was too hard for Elise to get used to, and she couldn't understand why the big ball of fire would scorch the earth and then turn the whole world cold again when it was gone. This kind of unbelievable thing is impossible to see in the dark region. And what baffled Elise even more was that the creatures on the surface turned a blind eye to it. Aren't they worried that one day that big ball of fire will scorch them along with the earth?

This shows how stupid the self-absorbed romantic ideas of those surface bards are. They believe that the strange beings who dwell in darkness should naturally yearn for the light, the heaven of freedom and the salvation of the light. But they didn't expect it at all. For the inhabitants of the Shadowlands, stepping on the surface is the beginning of an excruciating torture. Even if they're not the undead who are truly afraid of the sun.

In contrast, only Patilina's expression is normal, and neither she nor Jenn are natives of the dark underworld, and they are naturally experienced in the surface world. Don't be as scared and trembling as these two guys, and you can't even figure out what your last name is.

"Stay in peace, it's still a long time before we go back to the Dark Regions."

Hearing Bix's crying pleading, Jenn snorted coldly and spoke. In fact, since stepping onto the surface, Elise and Bix have been in an unspeakable panic. Fortunately, they also know how to fear their master, so they control their feelings, and the rapid march makes no one notice their abnormality, otherwise I am afraid that they would have been exposed.

Jenn came to the surface this time, of course, not for sightseeing. In fact, it was an indispensable part of Jenn's plan. It's just that now he's one last step away, and this one ...............

"Boom!!"

At this moment, suddenly, with a loud thunderous sound, the originally gloomy sky suddenly became extremely bright and dazzling. Jenn looked up in surprise at the place where the sound came from, only to see that in the center of the Temple of the God of War, a pillar of light rose into the sky, straight into the sky. Powerful energy fluctuations spread out in all directions, and even the ground couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It didn't take long for the pillar of light to disappear completely, turning into bits of light and dust scattered around. At the same time, people also walked out of the door in surprise, looking at the Temple of the God of War not far away, talking in a low voice.

But Jenn knew very well that it seemed that the time was getting closer and closer for him to leave the city. (To be continued......)
