As the members of Ress Team fell silent, they found themselves deep in an abandoned mine outside of Hermida.

It was a large, empty cavern, the whole cavern seemed to have been magically treated, its ground was flat, and the walls of the cave were smooth, not at all like a real mine.

A sarcophagus with intricate motifs abruptly sits in the middle of the ground, with lifelike figures and intricate architecture. Most of these carved motifs feature a handsome man in a black cloak. In the pattern on the front of the sarcophagus, the handsome man stands on a high palace, looking down on the earth and the crowd on the ground bowing to him, as if he were the master of this world. On his cloak there is also a lifelike bat flying in the air, and the corners of the bat's mouth show a few bright drops of blood.

The ground around the sarcophagus was "carved" by someone with some kind of magic to "carve out" a huge magic array, and the complex patterns of this dark red magic array spread out like a spider's web, emitting strange fluctuations from time to time.

At one end of the magic circle was a high altar with a huge seat on it, and a man in a black cloak sat quietly.

A brazier was placed on each side of the altar. There was a faint flame burning in the brazier, but the light of the fire was so cold that it seemed like even the bones were frozen at a glance.

Beneath the altar is a pool of blood, with splinters and bones looming from within.

Several skeleton warriors carried their corpses into the cavern, heavy footsteps echoing through the empty cavern. The skeleton warriors mechanically walked up to the pool of blood and threw the corpses on their backs into it.

The pool of blood, which had been replenished by fresh corpses, immediately tumbled and made a loud noise, and the corpses gradually melted into blood.

This pool of blood flowed down the concave magic array, and soon filled the entire magic array. The dark red magic array emitted strange fluctuations, sending blood to the sarcophagus in its center.

The sarcophagus absorbed the blood and let out bursts of satisfaction, as if a hearty meal had just been made.

An even heavier footstep sounded, and a large assembled monster walked into the empty cavern.

The assembled monster has a human head, without any clothes on its body, and obviously reveals different fur and white bones, which should be put together from the corpses of several unused monsters. It has four legs, each leg is completely different except for the length, it should be four different monsters. The assembled monster walks like a war horse.

The assembled monster walked under the altar and said respectfully to the man in the black cloak on the altar in a language that did not belong to humans, "Master, there are 20 fresh corpses today. ”

The man in the black cloak did not speak.

The assembled monster said, "Those guys said that a mercenary team came to Elmida these days, supposedly to search for missing persons. ”

"Humph!" a human voice came from a corner of the cavern, and another assembled monster stepped out of it.

This human-speaking monster is completely different from the one just now, his body is not so bloated, his upper body is completely human, and his lower body is assembled with the legs of a magical beast. As he walked, the assembled monster said in human language, "I'm just here to die, and I can kill them all by myself." ”

The assembled monster that spoke the human language walked step by step under the altar, its face illuminated by the cold flames of the altar, and it turned out to be the dead "left hand" in Giethoorn.

The "left hand" that turned into an assembled monster said to the black cloak on the altar, "Lord Sandru, thank you very much for giving me this more powerful body."

The "left hand" stretched out his hands and looked at them with satisfaction, he felt that his whole body was now full of infinite energy, and he couldn't wait to grab a person's heart and taste it immediately.

Sitting on the altar, Sandru, dressed in a black cloak, spoke, and his voice seemed to be soaked in ice that would not melt for thousands of years, making people feel creepy: "The ritual is about to be completed, and I need more blood." ”

The "left hand", who has always been unruly, respectfully said, "No problem, Lord Sandru." My lord has sent you more than a few hundred young men with plenty of blood from Giethoorn, and here there are also 20 fresh corpses every day, which I believe is enough for you. ”

Sandru lifted his shoulders to reveal his hands. His hand turned out to be a white bone!

A powerful force emanated from Sandru's hand and spread through the cavern.

This power entered the brain of the "left hand", and the negative emotions of the world of grief, helplessness, and pain all appeared in his brain, although the "left hand" had killed people like numbness, and could not withstand such a terrible dark power, he desperately wanted to get rid of the shackles of this force, but the whole body could not move at all.

The negative emotions in the mind of the "left hand" are increasing, and he can no longer bear the greatest pain in the world. "Ah~" heart-rending cries echoed through the cave.

Suddenly, the evil force vanished as if it had never appeared, and the "left hand" fell to his knees with relief, gasping for air.

Sandru's cold, chilling voice echoed in the ears of the "left hand" again: "I need more blood!"

"Left Hand" hurriedly said: "No problem, Lord Sandru, I will inform them at once and let them do their best to send fresh corpses." ”

Sandru lowered his hand and stopped making any sound.

The "left hand" quickly stood up and strode towards the outside of the cave, he wanted to urge his men to speed up, Sandru's anger was really terrible, if he was in Giethoorn that day, it is estimated that he alone could disappear all the holy knights.

The cave was quiet again, as if nothing had happened before.

2nd floor of Elmida City Inn.

"Okay, I'm sure you've thought about it too. Red said, "Let's decide now." ”

Faras said, "Red, let's go out together, so naturally we have to go back together." ”

Red smiled and said, "I know you'll definitely stay." After speaking, he also combed his hair with his hands and put on a very handsome and handsome pose.

Faras was very disdainful of Red's behavior, she pursed her lips and said, "Don't think that I want to stay with you, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to Master Iberr when I go back." ””

Red's hand combing his hair stopped on his head, and he said embarrassedly, "Fani, that's it, don't you say it right away, can't you satisfy my vanity a little more?"

Faras gave Red a blank look, and stopped talking.

A smile appeared on Red's face and he said to Oz, "What about you?"

Oz still looked slow, he looked at the axe in his hand, and said to himself: "Someone is going to invite me to drink Bordeaux wine, I'm leaving now, isn't it that I can't drink it?"

"Oz, you didn't like to talk before, and I used to make fun of you. But now the choice of this matter is related to your own fate, you have to think clearly. ”

Oz raised his head, stared at Red and said, "As long as you drink my Bordeaux wine, my life is yours." ”

Red has no words for Oz, the drunkard, who is simply a drunkard. He shook his head and said, "I've served you, and if you have wine, you won't die." ”

With that, Red took out a very beautiful small bottle from his storage pocket and threw it to Oz.

Oz took the bottle and gently uncorked it with a hint of anticipation, and the smell of wine immediately came out of the bottle.

Oz sniffed deeply with his nose, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Bordeaux?" he took a small sip, closed his eyes and tasted the taste carefully, ignoring Red.

Red turned to Alina and said, "You're still young, don't gamble with me." ”

Alina said disdainfully, "Fani is so good to me, I stayed." Do you think I'm staying for your sake?"

Red frowned and said, "Little ghost, no big or small, I'm older than you, how can you respect me, right?" ”

Alina said, "Okay, Lei~De~Big~Uncle!"

Red rolled his eyes, feeling that his luck was too low, Oz was a heavy drinker, and Alina was very naughty, why didn't his teammates be more serious? He didn't want to think that he usually put on a cool face, not much better than his companions.

Red looked at Ryan and Allendo and said, "What about the two of you?"

Alendor shook his head, and Red, who thought Allendo was unwilling to continue the adventure, said, "I respect your choice. ”

Alendor shook his head again and said to Red, "I saw that you could even remember those materials from 200 years ago, and I thought you were very smart, but it turned out ......"

Red looked at Alendor with wide eyes, Ryan also felt that Alendor seemed to have changed a lot, compared to before, the current Alendor was no longer a cold look, and he had learned to joke with such a big scene. It seems that Allendo can basically get along with others without being strange.

"I'm a druid......

Red hurriedly said, "I see, you traveled around to find traces of the undead. ”

Alendor gave a small blow to Red: "It's okay, it's not stupid to get home." ”

Red smiled bitterly on his face: "Is his popularity so bad? Even Alendor, who just joined the team, is sarcastic about himself, alas." ”

Ryan took the initiative to say: "Aren't you asking for yourself, Red, since you are a companion of a team, you naturally want to have fun and adventure together, how can you leave your companion and run away by yourself when you encounter danger?"

Red said helplessly: "I am for everyone's good, I hope you will think it through, and it turned out to be my fault." ”

Everyone looked at Red's aggrieved look, and they couldn't help laughing, and the shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts disappeared without a trace in this laughter.
