Shengshuiyuan

In the heavy snow, a team of more than a dozen people walked with difficulty towards the only ancient castle made of white stones on the snow mountain.The light blond boy in the lead walked forward and tapped the door knocker lightly.After Xumi, the huge door was opened from the inside. A man with black hair and cat ears in his twenties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, stared at the pale blond boy and his party in surprise.

"You are?"

Taking off the dark brown thick cloak hat on his head, the pale blond boy smiled lightly.

"Hello, our group encountered heavy snow when passing by here, and it was getting late. I wonder if I can stay with you for a night?"

Turning to look at the group behind the pale blond boy, there are more than a dozen people with different looks and heights.Not feeling any malice, the man with black hair and cat ears nodded slightly and walked sideways

"Then please come in."

Before the pale blond boy and his group walked into the castle, a man with white bear and animal ears on the escalator looked impatiently at the dozen or so people who suddenly visited.

"Who are they, haven't I already said. I don't like to see people I don't know come in."

Pressing the impulsive and irritable Babur lightly, Lantiyer smiled, looked at the man with the white bear and animal ears who walked down the escalator and said:

"I'm very sorry to bother you so late. You can also see that the weather is too cold and it's snowing outside. If it's convenient, can you let us stay overnight?"

Seeing the stranger, the man with white bear animal ears was clearly unhappy, the man with black hair and animal ears approached the man with white bear animal ears and said

"We are friends when we meet, and they don't look like bad people."

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes were full of contempt, and the man with the white bear and animal ears looked at the human with different looks.

"Is he a good person? Who will write on his face?"

Looking at the stranger who suddenly became childish, the man with black cat and animal ears held the hand of the man with white bear and animal ears, patted the back of his hand to comfort him

"Be good, don't worry. Nothing will happen."

Instead, the man with the white bear animal ears exhaled lightly, looked at Lantiel and said

"You can stay here, but my room is not allowed to be close to the room on the east side."

As he said that, before the Lantieres and the others answered, the man with the white bear animal ears turned back to his room and closed the door.

Looking at the black gloves on the hands of the man with white bear and animal ears walking away, Lantiere narrowed his eyes lightly, thinking with interest. . .

Looking at the man with the white bear and animal ears, it was obviously disrespectful.The man with black cat ears said with embarrassment

"I'm very sorry, Rey is a little shy. After a long time of contact, you will know that he is actually quite nice."

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, Natsu said angrily,

"What are you afraid of, it's simply too rude!"

Lantiere narrowed his eyes and said coldly

"Natsu!"

Lightly clenching his palms, Natsu lowered his head and shut up quickly.

The night is deep, and everyone has fallen asleep peacefully.A cold and evil aura appeared without warning.The pale blond boy who had already fallen asleep in the room woke up from the bed, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he looked at the keen-minded white-haired fox-eared man who had already sat up from the bed, and the two looked at each other.Looking at the sleeping people in the room, he slowed down, opened the door lightly and walked out of the room.

The two walked out of the room, looking solemnly at the corridor under the dim light. Before the two could react, a light of fire suddenly appeared behind them, and they turned around. A man in light gray pajamas with white bear ears was full of eyes. Indifferently, holding a small oil lamp with one hand, he looked at the two people in front of him and said

"At night, what are you doing in the corridor without sleeping?"

After seeing who was coming, the two couldn't help but relax their expressions. The pale blond boy raised his lips and said with a light smile.

"It's like this. My friend and I want to go there for convenience. I don't know where yours is?"

The man with the white bear and animal ears raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were full of disdain, he raised his chin slightly, looked behind the two of them and said

"Go straight from here to the left."

Ignoring the pale blond boy's thankful expression, the man with white bear animal ears turned and left directly.

The moment the man with the white bear and beast ears turned around, Lantiere looked at the black gloves on the hands of the man with the white bear and beast ears, and squinted his eyes slightly.

After the two of Lantiyer left, the man with the white bear and animal ears turned around, looked at the oil lamp where the two had left, and squinted their eyes fiercely.

The next day, at breakfast time.It was rare that the heavy snow had stopped and the weather was fine. The man with the black cat and animal ears smiled lightly, watching Lantiere and the others walk into the restaurant.

"How many of you slept well last night?"

Nodding lightly and looking at the rich and delicious breakfast on the long table, Rantier said

"The bed is very soft and comfortable. Thank you so much for asking you to take us in at such a late hour."

Before the man with black cat and animal ears could say anything, a hand suddenly stretched out behind him, and took away the blueberry cake from the tray in the man's hand. A crisp male voice wrote lightly

"Now that the heavy snow has stopped, you can go."

Turning his head to look at the person who "stealed" the cake behind him, the man with black cat and animal ears was full of helplessness, and helped the man with white bear and animal ears wipe off the jam from his mouth with a handkerchief

"Although the snow has stopped, the snow on the ground is still loose and unsafe. It doesn't matter if they stay for a few more days."

Seeing the obvious displeasure of the man with the white bear animal ears, Rantiere said:

"Since you bother the two of you, my friend and I will leave tomorrow."

Looking behind Lantiere, Li Ge looked at the table full of delicious food wiping his saliva, the man with black cat and animal ears said with a smile

"Come on, everyone, sit down, breakfast won't taste good if it's cold."

Serving everyone delicious and thick soup, the man with the black cat and animal ears sat on his seat, watching Lantiere and the others say

"I was in a hurry last night. I haven't introduced the two of us yet. My name is Greed."

Instead, he helped the man with the white bear and animal ears to fill a glass of juice, and the man named Greed continued.

"His name is Rey. Although he always has a bad temper, he is still very nice."

Taking a sip of the fragrant milk in front of him, Lantiere put down the cup in his hand, introduced himself with a light smile and said hello to everyone.

"My name is Lantierre. Sitting next to me is Li Muyan from Ning'an, and my friends Yuren Lige, the burly and tall Babur, and Mu He, who is also from Ning'an. Ze, the one with wheat-colored skin is Naz, and the twin brothers Wall and Carter from the elves, Lano, and the Marquis of Luno who are also from the north."

After Lantiere finished speaking, the people who were introduced greeted Greed and Rey respectively.

Rey ignored everyone's greetings, biting the milk and bread in his hand vigorously, his eyes full of impatience.

After breakfast, next to Greed who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Rey looked at the people in Lantiere in the corridor, picked up an apple with a frown, and took a bite with displeasure in his eyes.

"I don't like them."

After setting the dinner plate, Grid wiped off the water on his hands, turned to look at the suddenly childish man and said,

"It's been more than ten years, and there are only the two of us in such a big house. It's rare to have a few people here, and it's quite lively."

Putting down the half-bitten apple in his hand, Rey said in frustration

"I don't like the food you cook and give it to others."

With eyes full of helplessness, he raised his hand to caress the top of Rey's hair, and Greed smiled lightly.

"They'll just stay for a few more days and leave tomorrow. Why should you care about this, and they don't look like bad people."

Raising his head lightly, Rey looked at the man in front of him stroking the top of his hair, and suddenly said solemnly:

"Those people back then were kind to us at the beginning, and they would have done such cruel things to us in the next second. If it weren't for them, your hands wouldn't have been hurt like this by those people."

Exhaling lightly, Grid said with a wry smile.

"To those people at that time, we were strangers. It is normal to resist instinctively. Moreover, I don't regret blocking the attack for you back then."

Biting his lips lightly, Rey clenched the other hand tightly with one hand, and said regretfully with eyes full of regret

"If I hadn't accidentally taken off the glove and hurt someone...they wouldn't have hurt you..."

Hugging him into his arms, stroking his back to comfort him, Grid frowned lightly and said

"It's over, that kind of thing won't happen again..."

In a dark room where nothing can be seen, a suffocating dark atmosphere surged out of the room.In the center of the room, in a complicated and strange enchantment, a black bone box was placed on a high table.There is a strange black hostility around the box, overflowing from the box.A person with eyes full of fear trembled, looked at the person approaching him, hugged the other person's leg and begged for mercy

"It was my fault back then, please! Please! Let me go!!"

Looking at the terrified person begging for mercy in front of him, the person who couldn't see his face in the dark, he slightly pursed his lips and his eyes were fierce, took off the glove on his hand, and grabbed the person in front of him by the neck with one hand. In the next moment, he was caught The eyes of the people in the neck were round, and the cheeks and body shriveled at an extremely fast speed.Made a low whimper of pain. . . .

In an instant, a blue aura flew out from the struggling man's body and was absorbed by the black bone box placed on the small table.

Squinting his eyes lightly, he threw the person who had been sucked into a mummified corpse to a pile of mummified corpses in the corner, raised the hand that had sucked the person into a mummified corpse, and looked at the strange square box in the middle of the room, which made a satisfying sound as if it was full , the person who couldn't see his face slightly raised his lips, and his eyes were full of sinister smile. . . .

At dinner time, when everyone was unaware, a team of thousands of people approached the pure white castle quietly.With a loud bang, the gate of the ancient castle was violently opened from the outside, and everyone looked at the guarded soldiers who rushed in.The leader, who was wearing a royal blue thick cloak against the cold, took off the heavy cloak hat on his head, looked around the buildings in the castle, looked at the hall with eyes full of contempt, and looked at the humanity with eyes full of hatred.

"Yo, I haven't seen you in ten years. You live quite comfortably, and you already live in such a big house."

The moment the visitor spoke, a pure white figure attacked the obviously too rude person at an extremely fast speed. Before he could see the visitor clearly, the middle-aged man with white bear and animal ears raised his eyebrows and pulled past him. soldiers stand in front of them.In the next moment, the soldier touched by the palm of the visitor was sucked dry at an extremely fast speed and turned into a mummified corpse.

Squinting his eyes to shake off the soldier who was sucked dry, the man with white bear animal ears looked in front of him, obviously speaking to the man with white bear animal ears who had a much more mature appearance back then.

"I'm really curious about how my sister, who has always been kind, was cursed to give birth to a monster like you."

Taking a few steps back cautiously, Rey narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically

"You say I'm a monster, but I really want to know why you, as an uncle, tried to arrange so many people to chase and kill me and Greed?"

Raising his eyebrows lightly as if hearing a joke, the man with white bear and animal ears turned his eyes full of stern words

"You ask me why? If you, a monster, were not born, my sister would have died as soon as you were born and touched your hand! You are a stain on our family, and since it is a stain, of course it must be wiped away."

A purple lightning flashed by, and Grid quickly protected Rey behind him and said

"It's not his fault that he was born with this kind of power. As a relative, why should you kill him?"

The man with the white bear and animal ears narrowed his eyes, and sent Greed flying with his palm.

"eventful...."

Looking at the seriously injured person who was blown away, Rey bit his lip and backed away resentfully.Rey's eyes suddenly turned blue and white and screamed in the sky. In an instant, several waves of hostility spread rapidly to the surroundings like a flood of beasts, and all living things withered and lost their lives instantly.

When everyone retreated instinctively in panic, in the attic corridor of the hall, a man with white bear and animal ears wore a pair of special gloves in his hands, holding a black bone box that obviously exuded a strange atmosphere, facing the white bear in the corridor. orc ear man

"General, the things have been obtained."

Turning his head full of shock, looking at the thing held in the hands of the man with the white bear animal ears, Lantiere narrowed his eyes and said softly

"Dark black...bone box..."

In the astonishment of everyone, Rey and the man with the white bear and beast ears flew up and approached the black bone box at the same time, but Rey was a step slower and let the man with the white bear and beast ears get the bone box first.

Looking at the square bone box in his hand, which obviously exudes strange and powerful power and hostility, the man with white bear animal ears raised his hand and stroked the box gently, and said greedily.

"I said where did the people I sent go? It turns out that you used this box to practice with them. This is really a treasure."

Looking at the dark black bone box tightly held by the man with the white bear and beast ears, Rey said nervously.

"Give me back the box!"

At this critical moment, the castle suddenly vibrated violently without warning. Everyone was shocked. Seeing the black bone box held by the man with the white bear and animal ears, it vibrated violently like ghosts screaming strangely. With a piercing sound.

In the next moment, the castle began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye amidst violent vibrations.

The large boulders slammed into everyone in the castle at an extremely fast speed.

Lantier and others instinctively used magic to block the stones that hit their bodies.

When everyone was at their wits' end, a figure behind Rey approached quickly and was about to sneak attack Rey.Just when everyone thought that Rey would be attacked by the opponent, a figure quickly approached and blocked Rey.Rey's eyes were full of shock, and he saw an extremely sharp knife directly piercing the chest of Greed who was standing in front of him.A mouthful of blood spattered from Greed's mouth on the face of the culprit of the sneak attack, the ruthless man who was nominally Rey's uncle.

When he saw who was coming, Rey frowned tightly, clenched the hands of the man with white bear beast ears and shouted:

"I want your life!!!"

In front of a pile of old castle wreckage, everyone's eyes were full of astonishment, watching the man with the white bear and beast ears held tightly by Rey, his body shriveled and exploded in an instant, turning into debris.

Greed, whose eyes were full of weakness, looked at the man who hugged him into his arms and wept bitterly, gently raised his hand to caress Rey's cheek and said,

"I... can finally touch... your face without any scruples..."

Biting his lips tightly, looking at the dying man covered in blood in his arms, Rey squeezed Greed's hand tightly and said,

"Grid, don't leave me, I have nothing left! Please, don't leave me alone!!"

Frowning tightly, a mouthful of blood flowed out of his mouth again, Grid said with eyes full of reluctance

"I'm sorry... It seems that this time... I'm going to break my promise..."

Looking at the lifeless person in his arms, Rey hugged Grid tightly and screamed.

Seeing Rey in pain and despair, Lantier approached tentatively. In the next moment, Rey suddenly raised his head and stared at the crowd. In everyone's shock, Rey picked up Greed's body, Picking up the dark black bone box beside him, he walked towards the edge of the cliff.

As if realizing something, Lantiere approached Leidao with serious eyes

"Rey, you have to calm down and don't be impulsive."

A line of clear tears flowed from the corner of Rey's eyes, Rey smiled wryly and looked at Lantiel in front of him and said

"If this weird box still exists, it will harm many people... It's better not to be discovered forever..."

Rey closed his eyes lightly, hugged Greed's body and the black magic box tightly, and fell backwards off the cliff.

In the next moment, the people of Lantiyer approached the edge of the cliff anxiously and shouted their names, but they got no response. . . .

In the rare early morning when the snow stopped, Lantiere put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright sun in the sky, and thought about it. . .

Marquis Luno sighed softly behind him, raised his hand and patted Lantiere on the shoulder and said,

"The black bone box fell off the cliff with Rey and Greed. It seems that it won't be attracted to Ning An's bone box for a while, and it will cause some crisis."

Instead, Lu Nuo's eyes were filled with regret, and he frowned slightly and said:

"Oh, it's just a pity for Rey and Greed..."

Holding tightly the purple mysterious stone brooch that the gentle Greed before the war gave him with a smile on his eyes, Lantiere slightly narrowed his eyes and said

"It has been so long, we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. We only know that there are two bone magic boxes that will bring disaster to others, and there are enemies who watch the opportunity in the dark. Others, there is nothing I know... This makes me feel that there will be more crises lurking..."

Exhaled lightly, Rantiyer said

"The last time I went to the Dream Demons, I felt a chilling stare. Since we entered the Dream Demons, they have been staring at us...I think it's time to go to the Dream Demons to confirm."

Turning to Lantiere, he looked at the Marquis Luno beside him and said,

"Marquis Luno, tomorrow I plan to go to the succubi with everyone, I don't know you..."

Marquis Luno lightly shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile

"I'll go with you."

Surprised Rantiyerdao

"This time has put you and your subordinates in deep danger. Marquis, you should know that the succubi are the most dangerous place in the entire continent. If you are with us, what should we do if something happens to the north?"

Marquis Luno slightly raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips slightly, saying

"Don't worry, I'll just arrange things later. Besides, if you are a prince from the capital city, you can go. As a marquis, I can naturally go too."

With that said, Marquis Luno looked at the indifferent Minodao behind him.

"Help me arrange things in the north. Tomorrow, we will go to the Dream Demon Race with His Highness."

Nodding lightly, Mino led the way

"Yes, Lord Marquis."
