The group was now marching through a misty forest, with Syrent and the old dwarf Barnett leading the way in front, while Zambit and Rebecca were in the middle of the group, looking back at Alfie behind him and whispering.

"How much credibility do you think you have for what Alfie said to Krees in the Ghost Banquet Hall?" Zambit asked quietly.

"It's hard to say. With Alfie's character, it was certainly impossible to tell the truth, but he was not enough to deceive Krees, so how much credibility there was, only he knew in his own heart. Rebecca gave Zambit a blank look.

"I don't think he can deliver on his promise anyway. Zambit expressed his disapproval.

"I don't know how Katie is doing now. Even if Alfie deceived Krees in order to pass the test of the Ghost Banquet Hall quickly, as long as he could keep the egg safe, it wouldn't be a broken promise. Krees is already a ghost, and there is still a long time to wait for him. As long as the eggs are safe, there will be a chance to meet again. Rebecca said not without sadness, and couldn't help but think back to what had happened since they left the dungeon not long ago.

Entering through the entrance to the dungeon, they unexpectedly arrive at the Ghost Banquet Hall, where they re-encounter the castle's former butler, the Ghost Krees.

"Welcome back, my old friends!" was still the familiar grand ballroom, with its large long tables filled with delicacies and wines of great value. Unlike before, there were no ghost guests conjured up by Krees, only Krees sat alone at the end of the long table facing the entrance, holding a goblet and pouring himself a drink.

"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Alfie gave everyone a non-talkative look, and sat down in front of Krees.

"I haven't seen you in a short time, and your team has grown a lot~" Krees gestured to Celent and Kauflon with a goblet, pointed to the wine and food on the long table and said, "Please enjoy it casually." ”

"Then you're welcome!" Barnett rushed to the table for a bottle of "Mary's Blood" that he had coveted for a long time.

"Ahem, ahem. Alfie gestured at Zambit, and the Troll Warrior understood and stopped the old dwarf.

"What a faux pas. He shouldn't have been so eager!" Alfie said to Krees apologetically as she saw Zambit's old dwarf retreat behind him.

"Also, it's okay to be cautious until our protocol is thoroughly understood. Krees drank the wine from the goblet and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. As he moved, the bottle of "Mary's Blood", which was supposed to be as passionate as fire, suddenly changed from red to an icy blue that exuded a chill.

"Ghost wine?" Seeing this astonishing change in his favorite wine, the old dwarf finally stopped struggling, but said in a trembling voice. Everyone knows what the terrible consequences can be when you drink ghost wine.

"Illusion, everything is just illusion. Krees chuckled a little maniacally, and the bottle of ghost wine vanished into an empty bottle, and he flew up and kicked the bottle into a corner and smashed it to pieces.

"I guess we'd better get down to business. Alfie was unmoved, crossed her fingers under her chin, and said calmly.

"Can't you just let me enjoy this 'good' time again?" asked Krees, whose frenzied movements came to an abrupt end, with a slight sadness.

"It seems that you have expected it, so I have good news and bad news now, which one would you like to hear first?" Alfie asked, glancing at the residue of the bottle.

"And good news, come and hear it!" Chris's eyes seemed to light up.

"Your successor, nemesis, Cross, who has been watching over us, is dead. Alfie reached for a chicken leg on the long table, but as soon as she got her hands on it, it turned into a piece of dry wood.

"Cross is dead, and it's a pleasant surprise. There was a clear look of disappointment in Krees' eyes, and he said word by word. After finishing speaking, he flicked his fingers, and the dry wood in Alfie's hand suddenly turned into a cloud of flying ash, "At least the person who has been monitoring us is gone, and it is much easier for us to speak."

"Looks like you're not very happy when you hear the news?" Alfie asked, pretending to be confused.

"I thought the good news was going to be about Spicedle, but it seems like I was expecting too much. Krees smiled wryly, and the goblet in his hand was automatically filled with a glass of ghost wine.

"It's a pity. That bad news was about Spadel. Alfie didn't explicitly tell Krees about the Human-Faced Spider's death, but he believed that Krees had been prepared for it.

After listening to Alfie's words, Kreese put the goblet to his lips that turned blue in an instant, and sipped the ghost wine into his throat little by little.

Alfie's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Kress's movements, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Celent telepathically, "Celent, is there any knowledge related to ghost wine in the knowledge you have gained about the God of Souls?"

Celent had already told Alfie about his current situation telepathically, so Alfie asked this question, and he vaguely felt that ghost wine, a poisonous wine that can turn living people into ghosts, should be inseparable from the god of souls.

'Ghost wine is actually a way for the gods of souls to compete with the gods of the dead for the souls of the dead. After death, due to the influence of the law of the underworld, the soul will return to the kingdom of the underworld, and the ghost will stay in the human world, so the god of the soul has come up with such a way to make the living die by drinking the ghost wine and become a ghost, so that their souls will no longer be affected by the law of the underworld. After a moment's thought, Severent found the answer from the knowledge base of the soul god in his eyebrows.

I see. Alfi felt a little strange in his heart, why did the soul god move such a hand, why had he never heard of the god of the underworld having any opinion on this, this was not quite in line with his understanding of the twelve main gods of the Eliad - in Alfie's opinion, the twelve main gods paid special attention to the scope of their own control, and never allowed other main gods to interfere without permission.

"Did Spadel leave anything behind?" Krees, whose mood seemed to have stabilized considerably after a full glass of ghost wine, asked as he raised his already hazy drunken eyes.

"Your badge, I'll give it back to you now, I'm sure Spicedel has said it in enough detail. Alfie flipped her hand over, gently placed Krees' badge on the long table, and pushed it in Krees's direction.

"At least that means she was still alive when you found her, right?" the Earl had been lying to me!" Krees made a gesture of his hand, and the badge flew back into his hand, and he said emotionally with the badge.
