Ghosts and Knights [Rebirth]

As the light faded away, a black hell butterfly hovered over Pei for a few times, then suddenly collapsed, and tiny black ice crystals splashed in all directions, falling like powder.

"What's going on here?" Layton stared at the falling powder.That black butterfly should be Cynthia, right?Was it Cynthia who jumped into the water with Pei?Why, why is it broken?What does it mean?

The meaning of this collapse is actually very obvious, but Layton doesn't understand it, it's just a dip in the water, even if there is something strange in the water, it won't die, right?You said that you will die if you sink to the bottom of the water, that's a matter of course, but why do you still die after landing on the shore?

"I have been ferrying on this river of resentment for 10,000+ years, and I have never seen anything that sinks into the river of resentment come up again. 'Surviving' undead. This kid's holy light should only be able to help him disperse the undead, but to go against the rules of the underworld to float people out of the river of resentment, the energy needed should not be small." I said "should" because Caron is not It is very clear that Caron believes that among the undead or monsters who sank into the Revenge River, many people have tried to escape, but none of them succeeded. There is no precedent, and naturally there is no reference data.

"Cynthia probably exhausted all her energy to help Pei leave the river of resentment." Fernandi sighed.

"Why? Why didn't you take us across the river! If you didn't make things difficult for us, Pei and Cynthia wouldn't jump into the river either!" Layton turned around and strode towards Caron.

"Hey, don't get excited." Fernandi stretched out his hand and pulled Layton into his arms. "This is not a human world. There is not so much mutual help, solidarity and friendship."

Layton pursed his lips.Well, he can understand that the underworld, hell, should be selfish and lacking in love, but he still feels uncomfortable.

"Let go!" After calming down his excitement, Layton struggled to get rid of Fernandi's hand, then turned around, looked at Pei lying unconscious on the ground expressionlessly, and then turned his head to look at Pei. Looked at the depths of the underworld behind the Resentment River.

"What? Are you scared?" Fernandi suddenly smiled, and put his arm on Layton's shoulders, angrily.

"How is it possible! Sir, I am in high spirits and fighting spirit!" Layton turned his head back, and the burning and bright eyes in his eyes amazed Fernandi.

"Hahaha! Interesting, you are so interesting!" Fernandi was taken aback, and burst out laughing, making Layton's face puzzled.

"Let's go, what will we encounter if we continue to move forward?" Layton squatted down beside Pei, ready to carry Pei forward for a while.He came along, he couldn't just watch the excitement, he had to help Pei with something.

"What are you doing?" Fernandi frowned slightly, and reached out to hold Layton's shoulder, blocking Layton's movements.

"I'll carry him on my back." Layton shook his shoulders and gently shook off Fernandi's hand.

"You're carrying him? Forget it." Fernandi grabbed Layton's collar and pulled him away behind him. Then he took a step forward. He didn't see him bending down. With one hand, he stretched out his hand. Pei picked it up, then threw it on his shoulder, carrying it like a sack.

The corner of Layton's mouth twitched, and he heeled up.I hope the road ahead is not long, otherwise it would be rude for Pei to spit out something on the way.

"I'll go with you too." Caron thought for a while, and then heeled up.

"Ah?" Fernandi stopped in his tracks and looked at Caron in surprise, "What about your boat? You're not here, dead people can't cross the river of resentment."

"If you can't make it, don't come, it's none of my business!" Caron shrugged, passed Fernandi, and walked to the front.

"What an irresponsible ferryman." Fernandi pouted, turned around and took Layton's hand, and continued walking.

However, the group of three people and the "corpse" didn't go far, when they were blocked by two people. Before Layton understood what was going on, Fernandi and Caron knelt down on one knee, waiting for someone to carry their luggage.

"Lord Pluto, Lord Judge."

Hearing this address, Layton was dumbfounded, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Get up." Pluto focused his eyes on the "corpse" on Fernandi's shoulder, frowned slightly, and walked towards Fernandi, "What's wrong with him?"

"As for Mr. Pluto, he jumped into the river of resentment and was sent up by Cynthia." He got up immediately after being asked, and when Fernandi answered Pluto's question, his attitude was only a little more polite than usual. As for the respect and fear Layton didn't see such emotions at all.

"En." Pluto nodded, indicating that he had already understood the cause, process and result of the incident. He knew that Pei jumped into the river of resentment because of Caron's making things difficult. He knew that Cynthia must have jumped into the river of resentment with Pei. He knew that it was Pei's righteousness and Cynthia's strength that saved him, and he also knew that the reason why they appeared here was because Lansa was captured by King Azazel, and the reason why Pluto knew everything about it, It was because his children were also taken away by King Azazel.

Pluto stretched out his hand and pulled Pei off Fernandi's shoulders. He didn't know what other things he did in the process. In short, when Pei's feet landed on the ground, he was already fully awake.

"You are Pei Abelard?"

Caron and Fernandezzi rolled their eyes.Lord Pluto, don’t you ask the question knowingly?Can we get straight to the point?

"Yes, you are...?" Pei looked around and found that Fernandi and the others were there, but Cynthia had gone somewhere, and there were two more people in front of them, one of whom he knew was Judge Rover Kou, then those who came accompanied by Love Kou... "Are you Pluto?" Maybe it was because his head was still a little dizzy, so Pei didn't panic like Layton.

"Exactly." Pluto nodded.

"Is Lansa okay?" Pei Yi anxiously reached out and grabbed Pluto's shoulder.

Pluto glanced at his shoulder, but didn't see anyone move, but he didn't know when he took a step back, and Pei's hand was naturally removed without noticing it.

"Not life-threatening."

"That means something is wrong?" Pei frowned, "Tell me, where is King Azazel?!"

"In the northernmost part of Sunless City. I came here to give you two things."

"Something?" Pei turned to look at the others, and then turned back to look at Pluto again, "What is it?"

"Things that can help you defeat King Azazel." Hades waved his hand behind him, and Roverko came forward with two big boxes in his arms.

"Pei, long time no see." Roverko smiled at Pei in a friendly manner.

Pluto took one more look at Roverko, then opened the upper box, and took out a large sword from there.The sword looked nothing special, the most striking thing was the long string of runes engraved on the sword.

Pluto held the sword in both hands and handed it to Pei: "This is the sword of the king that only exists in human legends. Although your ability is not enough to control the sword of the king, nor can you make the sword of the king fully exert its power, but you It’s just enough to let it help you win.”

Pei Jiang accepted the sword suspiciously. When the palm of his right hand touched the blade, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from the wide sword, and the light returned to the sword in a split second.Pei blinked and put the sword behind his back.His own seems to have been thrown at the bottom of the river of resentment.

"Thank you Hades."

"Uh... Is the other one for me?" Although he didn't know if that thing was really that useful, Layton couldn't help opening his mouth as he looked greedy.

"Yes." Roverko nodded with a smile, changed the upper empty box to the lower one, and waited for Pluto to open the second box.

The second box was twice as long as the first box. Pluto opened the box unhurriedly. What was contained in the box was a long gun.

"Long gun?" Layton blinked.

"Kungunier, also known as the Gun of the Meteor."

"Oh! I like this name." Layton took the spear with a smile, and danced twice, "It's quite easy."

"Fernandi, please treat your sweetheart quickly, it's fine if you don't know the goods, why are you so shameful?" Caron couldn't help but complain.The Sword of the King and the Spear of Meteor, Pluto really borrowed something incredible. Is that Lanza so valuable?

"Master Pluto guessed that we will go together? Including me, and including Caron?" Fernandi was also thinking about the same question.Compared with other people in the underworld, he has known Lansa the longest, and he should also know Lansa the best. Lansa's ability and potential are indeed great, but to Hades, is he so valuable? ?Let Pluto take the risk of lending these ancient weapons to two humans?

"Enlil was also taken away by King Azazel." As if he had seen through the thoughts of Karon and Fernandi, Hades explained their confusion very simply.

The four of them froze for a moment, then Pei frowned.

"Master Pluto wants us to rescue Enlil together? Why?" Pei was upset, "If it wasn't because of that Enlil, would so many things happen in the world? If it wasn't because he would provoke Azaz King Le? He deserves to be arrested!"

"I know." Compared with Pei's unhappiness, Mr. Pluto was obviously much calmer.

"Sorry, even if this is Lord Pluto's request, please forgive me for refusing very solemnly." Pei drew out the big sword behind him, and threw it to Pluto with a flick of his hand.

"Hey! You can't throw this away!" Rafko was startled, and hurriedly went to catch the thrown King's Sword.This brat, did you throw the King's Sword casually? !

"Uh... I'll give you this back too?" Layton hesitantly handed out the Meteor Gun.This thing has not been warmed up in my hand yet, so I am really reluctant to give it away.

"Don't make any trouble." Fernandi pulled Layton to the back, then put his hand on Pei's shoulder, "Pei, calm down."

"I'm very calm." Pei turned to look at Fernandi with fierce eyes.

Oh, irritable people always say that they are calm.Fernandi felt helpless.

"It's almost enough. Don't use your sense of justice and sense of right and wrong in the underworld." Caron said less politely, "Do you really want to save Lansa? If you don't, then you can go find him now." King Azazel is here, take your friends to die together. If you still want to save Lansa, you should accept the help of Lord Pluto. It’s just that you want to save someone you don’t like. It’s yours. Is anger more important, or Lanza's life is more important?"

Pei frowned.

"This is the underworld, and the underworld has the sophistication of the underworld, and Lanza is still waiting for you." Fernandi also knew that Enlil was going too far, but that was just naughty in the eyes of the underworld, so everyone don't care.

"Here, take it." Roverko handed back the King's Sword again.

"Hmph!" Pei took the sword roughly, turned his head and left.

"Then, let's take our leave." Fernandi, who still knew the word "polite", greeted Pluto and the judge, and then moved forward, but just after taking a step, Pluto stopped him again.

"Fernandi."

"Master Pluto, is there something else?" Fernandi stopped and turned to look at Pluto.

"Rescue Lanza."

"Of course." Fernandi was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, "Lanza is my friend, so I will rescue him naturally. Well, it's a bit funny to mention the word 'friend' in the underworld. .But I'm still interested in him for the time being, so I won't let him die." Fernandi waved his hand and quickly disappeared from Pluto's sight.

"My lord Pluto, go back." Lord Enlil, you are picking places where Pluto can't go. First, you went to the human world, where Pluto can't go, because it is the destiny's rule, and now you go to the city without sun , Pluto cannot go to that place, because if Pluto goes, it may cause a big scuffle between Sunless City and Hell. The Seven Monarchs have been waiting for this opportunity to start.Alas, Lord Enlil, please pray silently in your heart that you will have the opportunity to leave hell in the future.

"En." Pluto turned around and returned to hell with Roverko.Enlil, be safe.
