The dance party is underway, and the girl around the campfire looks a little depressed.

Somehow, looking at the boy and girl who was shaking her head feverishly, she actually gave birth to the inconsistency of watching others play alone during yesterday's magic celebration.

There was a drink in the cup in his hand, and when he drank it, he could indulge in a dream, and when he saw the person he wanted to see, Hiccor fiddled with the glass over and over, but he did not have the same eagerness to drink as before.

The tavern has changed, and so has she, and in the past few years, her feeling for change has never been as strong as in the last few days, and she does not have too much of a sense of rejection, and she has been deceiving herself and refusing to admit some realities, and she has naturally accepted it.

It is said that the child has to go on, and the past has passed forever, for example, if the mother is dead, it is impossible to come back to life.

Perhaps she is still observing her daughter in the goddess's kingdom.

Hiccol looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.

And it all started with the appearance of that person.

Hiccor tugged at the scarf around his neck.

Then don't kid yourself and start a new life.

"Hickel, why don't you drink this cup of holy medicine?" a person next to him rushed out.

"Oh...... My appetite is not good, sorry, I want to ......" Hickel stood up, about to say goodbye, and found that she was desperate to return to the tavern, which was no longer attractive.

Maybe you won't need to come to this place again to escape the pain.

"What are you thinking? The ceremony is about to begin. The man could not help but say, and took Hickel by the hand, and walked towards the crowd.

As soon as Penny looked up, he saw that there was not a trace of starlight on the ruins in the open air, and sighed: "It seems that the owner here is very unwelcoming to us. ”

"It's the entropy light labyrinth, boss. Marc observed for a moment and shook his head: "Mist and portals constructed with shadow mana, if you choose the wrong channel, you will run into monsters and traps. ”

Shadow mana ......

Penny closed his eyes for a moment, as if in a semi-deep sleep, then opened them again, and stepped into one of the passages: "Go here?"

"How do you know?" Marker was amazed, "It's dangerous to walk around here." ”

"It's the safest one. Penny said this, and Mark, who was suspicious, clenched his weapon and walked over in fear, and passed unharmed, and when he reached a high wall, the trivial noise behind the wall was becoming clear, and although he was surprised that Penny could find the right way, Marc still hesitated:

"It's a dead end. ”

"Silent portal. Penny whispered, and with a gentle push on the wall, a half-man-high secret door silently opened a small slit, and the light of the bonfire penetrated through it, and Penny was about to enter, when he was stopped, and when he saw the thief handing him a cloak, he suddenly put it on, and crept through the door, and then saw a picture that stunned him.

A large group of young men ran and roared in the middle of the campfire, shadows swaying like demons, and after eight years of apprenticeship, Penny, who was familiar with potions, smelled a smell that reminded him of the late night scenes in the underground field shops in his previous life.

"It's a fucking world-away. Penny complained secretly, searched for the figure of Siccle in the crowd, and after looking for a long time but did not find it, he went to see a misty young man staggering over to say hello:

"Hey, True, whose friend?"

"I'm Gomi from ......" Penny lowered his voice and gestured, Mark's hand was already pressed against the dagger at his waist.

"Oh, it's that kid from Dehumi, he's going to officially join the club tonight, what an envy. This man's exclamation dispelled Mark's murderous intent, but Penny made a sudden realization:

"Gomi is so powerful, he didn't even tell me. ”

"Ha, don't worry, when the master tests your loyalty, you will definitely gain the ability to do what you want. ”

"All wishes come true? maybe. Penny snorted.

"Come, experience the power of the master. The man handed Penny a steaming glass of liquid, and he drank the cup in his other hand, shaking his head as if he had taken some kind of pill.

Penny tried to take a sip, and soon spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Boss, the situation is a little bad...... "Marc quietly approached, "This kind of tactic is like a demon or a devil recruiting believers." ”

"Wait and see. After a while, a man in a gray robe and a half-mask walked up to the campfire, and Penny narrowed his eyes carefully, only to see a simple stone platform in the shadow of the fire:

"Brothers, sisters, today we have two new brothers and sisters to join the ranks of the master's servants, everyone cheer for this moment!"

A crowd of people staggered by psychedelics cheered, and Penny and Marc hid in the shadows and looked at each other a few times, and Marc said:

"Boss, I marked the maze outside, as soon as I signaled, the brothers could rush in, I sneaked up in the shadows, and I could finish this old guy in one fell swoop!"

"Don't worry, let's see what the hell they're up to. Penny frowned and stared at the center of the campfire, and a group of fanatical youths, surrounded by Gomi, walked out.

"Okay. Marc nodded.

"Devout Gomi, are you willing to sacrifice your body and soul for your master?"

"Yes, of course I do. Gomi raised his fist with a green glow, roared half-madly, and lay on the stone platform next to the bonfire, and as soon as the gray-robed man threw his hand, something fell into the bonfire, and there was a strange chant of tone, a scream, a 'beep' in the fire, and a slender shadow like a claw poked into Gomi's chest, a red light flashed, Gomi's body flicked, and a red dot turned to ashes in the fire.

The ashes were gone, and the fire slammed into the sky, turning into a distorted face, while the flames turned pale and slowly extinguished in the wild shouts of a crowd of fanatics.

"Boss?" Marc was startled, fortunately after a long test of life and death, his face was as usual after a few breaths, but when he turned his head, he saw Panny's expression was discouraged, and hurriedly touched it, but he didn't respond even a few times.

The moment the flames changed, Penny's perception seeped into an incredibly huge sense of terror, causing his mind to become blank for a moment, and his main consciousness fell into stillness.

It was the first time in his life that the Perception Domain had received such an omen.

"Ahh

A scream erupted from the other side of the campfire, and Hiccol's face was equally pale in the pale light of the fire.

"Believer, why be so afraid, dedicate your body and mind to the master, you can fulfill your heart's desire, don't be afraid, lose your body, you will gain immortality under the protection of the master. ”

"What are you afraid of, Scicol, come on, don't you want Aunt Celine to come back to life? The broken corpse on the stone platform stood up, and the blood hole on the left chest was covered by a ray of light, but the blood that had just flowed out was still there, which looked extremely terrifying.

"I'm sorry...... Gomi ...... I know very well," faced Gomi, who had lost his heart and could still stand and speak, Hiccol tugged at the scarf around his neck, his tone stumbling with fear, but still plucking up courage: "But but but...... Mom is dead, I should not indulge in the dreams of the past, but pursue a new life......"

The world is unreal, and we should make it conform to our desires, and the Master will give us such power. Gomi's face was twisted and he waved his fist fiercely, and a stream of blood spurted out of his chest because of excitement: "Come on, forget what you just said." ”

"I'm sorry...... I'm leaving......" Hiccor quickly understood that the essence of this 'man' was no longer human, and quickly turned around to escape.

"Catch her! the master needs her devotion!" Gomi raised his hands and shook like a convulsion, and a crowd of crazy people howled and pounced on Hiccol, and the girl exclaimed, and one shoe fell to the ground, and one stumbled, and as soon as she stood up, her dress was grabbed by several paws, and suddenly there was a neighing of horses, and a galloping horse appeared in the crowd at some point, and several people were knocked off the spot, and the man on the horse scooped Hickor from the ground in an awkward position. At the same time, there was a fierce tiger-like cry on the periphery of the crowd, and several big men brandished big axes and rushed into the crowd to chop melons and vegetables, killing all the creatures that stood in their way.

"Intruder, kill them!" As soon as the gray-robed masked man spoke, a dagger pierced his throat, and several crossbow arrows flew over and plunged into his body, falling limply to the ground with a few bloody holes.

"Half a gram of scovet grass, a dryad hair, two drops of ferocious wolf blood, the wing membrane of a succubus, it is not difficult to prepare that kind of high-strength hallucinogenic potion, if you want to use it, I can get it for you at any time, why do you have to go to such a dirty place?" Penny held Hickor in his arms: "How dangerous?"

"I'm sorry......" The girl with tears in her eyes tugged at the hem of Penny's shirt and breathed heavily, although she was shocked, her tone was no longer panicked.

"Yo, little boss, everything is done, when you show personal bravery, don't forget to give us a little sweetness for part-time jobs......"

Soon the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the mercenaries relaxed, wiping the blood from their blades and searching for the spoils, laughing and joking.

"Of course. Penny said with a smile, and suddenly his face changed: "Be careful, get out of here quickly?"

The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw that the entropy light labyrinth around them gradually became nothing, and the blood of the corpses in the square slowly flowed to the bonfire in the center, and the flames gradually turned white.

"Guests, don't be in a hurry to leave, about the things that have ruined my festival...... I have to talk to you guys about it......"
