Those years, those jokes, those scum

For some reason, the eyelid of my left eye kept twitching. How does the old saying go? Left eyelid twitching brings wealth, right eyelid twitching brings disaster, left eyelid brings good luck, right eyelid brings bad luck? Although this has been going on for several days, Alaqi even wondered if he should take some time to see a doctor for help with his eyes.

"Hey, Akira, what are you daydreaming about? Go and get the box back now while no one is around." Rafar, hiding in his pocket, urged in a low and anxious voice.

"Did you find anything?" Rafar added, considering the safety issue.

"I didn't find anything wrong. But..." Thinking of his left eyelid twitching again. At this time, according to his past experience, which was not good... forget it, his heartbeat was still steady and he didn't panic. According to his sixth sense, nothing serious should happen. It's better not to let Rafar worry.

Thinking of this, Akira looked around and walked cautiously to the center of the stone chamber. When he came to the box engraved with the Yan family crest, he stretched out his finger and tentatively tapped the box, then quickly took a few steps back.

"…" Well, the elves are very cautious creatures, but they are not so cautious as to be timid. Rafar sighed helplessly. This is probably the reason why Akira, with his average magic, average martial arts, and bad reputation, has been able to live well until now.

Very good, no problem. Thinking of this, Akira quickly grabbed the box in his arms and left the room in an instant.

Although Rafael was a little, well... never mind, they got the box back anyway. But wasn't it a little too smooth?

"Hey, Akira, check if the holy sword is in there."

"We can't open this box. But judging by the feel and weight, it's exactly the same as the one I got before."

"is it?"

"But I have a trouble now." That cold and ascetic face showed a very troubled look.

"what?"

"Should I continue to complete the mission of the Lord of Fire or the mission of the Princess of Wind?"

"..."

Perhaps because he really didn't know how to answer, Rafar chose to remain silent.

"Forget it. The Lord of Fire has already given half of the bounty, so it's not a loss. I can get the full commission if I continue the princess's mission." Akira nodded. Yeah, a sure win!

Listening to Akira's mumbling, Rafar was stunned. Fellow, where is your professional ethics! It's a miracle that you haven't been beaten to death in all these years! !

The sound of chanting from afar once again attracted the attention of the two elves. They looked at each other, then quietly crouched and began to walk deeper into the corridor.

"Huh?" Leng Nuan, who was walking in front on the other side, suddenly stopped.

"Have you discovered anything?" Seeing this, Qin Shuangjiang also became alert.

"It's okay. I just sensed Akira and the others."

"Rafael and the others? Where are they?"

Leng Nuan raised her head to look at the ceiling above her head, then pointed her finger forward and replied: "It's there, and it's still moving." Just now she could clearly feel the magical fluctuations that she bestowed on the two of them.

Qin Shuangjiang also looked over following Leng Nuan's movements, but she didn't feel anything. The whole space was silent, and only the breathing of her and Leng Nuan could be felt.

Qin Shuangjiang frowned and felt a little irritated. She didn't know whether this development, which was beyond her cognition, was good or bad.

"Maybe, we are in the same place, but not in the same space." Suppressing the restlessness in her heart, she spoke in a tone as gentle as possible.

Leng Nuan nodded and said nothing more. She led Qin Shuangjiang forward.

"The wind escape was not triggered. It seems that their current situation is relatively safe."

"But what is the purpose of bringing them in here? It's impossible that they are just here to take the sword."

Hearing Leng Nuan's inner doubts, Qin Shuangjiang expressed her doubts. Yes, according to the previous process, after they formed a team, they would take the holy sword to attack the demon king. Why would such a link appear? If it wasn't that person's conspiracy, who was guiding all this? If the dragon still existed, she wouldn't have to think so much. But the dragon no longer existed...

"The Demon King..."

"what?"

"I have been thinking about a question. What kind of existence is the Demon King? People in the world clearly believe in the legend of the savior, but why are they unwilling to believe in the legend of the Demon King?" At this point, Leng Nuan stopped and turned back with a serious face: "Or, in fact, there is no such thing as a Demon King."

His heart trembled slightly. In those sharp and clear eyes, Qin Shuangjiang clearly saw his own slightly stunned expression.

Qin Shuangjiang seemed to be hesitant to speak and couldn't say too much, so he just sighed lightly, "The Devil... really exists." He felt so helpless.

Along with the breeze that blew from nowhere, the sporadic chanting became louder and louder. But no matter how hard they pricked up their ears to listen, they still couldn't hear clearly and didn't understand what it was.

"Rafael, have you ever heard this kind of vocal method?"

Elves are born darlings of nature. They can understand the voices of almost all creatures in the world.

"No." Rafar searched his memory for what he had learned.

“Is it an ancient language?”

After walking for a while, Akira stuck close to the wall and moved little by little to the stone door. He carefully stretched his head out to observe.

A group of people wearing white vests were chanting with their backs to them in a voice they couldn't understand. Rafar shifted his gaze elsewhere and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

This stone room was two-story. Fortunately, they were on the second floor and had a clear view of the place. The group of creatures in white clothes chanted to the hexagram on the stone wall without moving.

Because he couldn't see their appearance, Akira couldn't be sure what race they were. But judging from their body shapes, he could definitely rule out that they were not human.

After all, no matter how thin a human is, he can't be this tall and thin. The width of his body is only half of the human body size.

This really made the elf curious. For some reason, Akira was very concerned about this. He focused his searching eyes on these white robes.

Ah, he finally discovered the incongruity of these people. They... all have no feet...

"Hey, Akira, have you noticed? These people have no feet." Rafar, who was standing in the pocket, stared at them and stretched out his little hand to pat his companion.

However, Rafar did not receive a response from his companion. Instead, he felt his heart suddenly beat abnormally fast from under his pocket, and his body stiffened and cooled.

"Akira?" Rafar, confused, turned around and raised his head and shouted in confusion.

Akira stretched out his hands and covered his mouth tightly, then stood on tiptoe and tiptoed out of the stone room. Then he turned around and took a long step. Rafar in his pocket didn't understand what was happening, but felt dizzy.

Oh my god!!! There’s a ghost!!!
