As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

In order to get the title of killing [Black Claw], he made up a lot of nonsense, saying that he had known [Sword Ghost] for a long time and that they were as good as could be.

But he hadn't even spoken ten sentences to the other party, so how could he dare to go up and ask?

Fortunately, he didn't have to worry for too long.

Because another strong man appeared next to [Sword Ghost].

"Hey, isn't this Brother Sword Ghost?"

The muscular young man scratched his head, revealing his big white teeth and smiling heartily and warmly, but he unconsciously lowered his body slightly.

He was the A-rank adventurer who had fought Roy before, [Fighter] Hex.

However, he still remembered the pain as if he had punched a city wall, and the opponent's sharp sword moves that were enough to confront the [Undead Knight] head-on, and his previous arrogance was completely gone.

Roy turned around, maintaining the image of a master, and nodded slightly in response.

Seeing that the other party had no disdain, Hex finally plucked up his courage and said, "I'm so sorry for causing you trouble recently."

"It doesn't matter."

"But, Brother Sword Ghost, why did you want to get involved? Is there something hidden here?"

After hearing these words, the Red Mage's eyes widened in confusion, while the adventurers pricked up their ears, waiting for the Sword Ghost's answer.

However, they only waited for a deep silence.

The air was strangely heavy, and even Hex's smile was a little stiff.

But the one who was really in trouble was Roy.

He was stumped by the question.

The matter of the Fate-Defying Node and the senior is hard to talk about, and it cannot be talked about. From an adventurer's perspective, there is really no need to wade into this thankless muddy water.

How should he answer this?

However, if he doesn't give an answer when someone asks him, it makes him look very suspicious!

After thinking about it, Roy had no choice but to tell a lie seriously.

"The water here is very deep."

"Those who understand will understand. If you don't understand, I can't explain it to you."

"There are too many interests involved. Talking too much will do no good to either you or me."

This overly vague statement left everyone confused and unable to understand what it meant.

Only Hex narrowed his eyes and began to analyze

[Sword Ghost] Such a strong man would not come here for no reason.

Could it be that there is something else hidden behind this mission and it is extremely dangerous?

Danger means money can be made!

Moreover, he had provoked the other party and was beaten up before, but his life was saved. Helping the other party at this time can be considered as repaying a favor.

The young man looked at the magician and waved his hand: "Friend, take me with you when you go to defeat the Purple Demon School!"

Chapter 103: Mermaid and Witch

After comforting the little maid, Roy no longer had any worries. He was finally able to calm down and return to his room to make final preparations.

Thanks to the fierce battle with the [Undead Knight], the bloodline of [Iron Blood] has been greatly activated and has made unprecedented progress.

Roy had a hunch that he was only one step away from Sequence 7.

With any luck, in the next life-and-death battle, he would be able to take this final step and officially enter the ranks of Sequence 7.

Roy knew very well that his talent was not bad, but it was not strong either. He was obviously one level lower than Charlotte, Nia and other gifted girls.

It's strange to say, you know, the more powerful the bloodline, the more difficult it is to advance. I have only just reached the threshold of Sequence 7, but Charlotte and the others have already entered Sequence 7 and reached the pinnacle of low-level transcendents - the problem is that in the original work, their progress was far less fast.

Especially Alice, she started slower than Charlotte and the others. You should know that in the original work, she almost caught up with Charlotte and the others at the end of each plot line.

Every time Roy thought about the gap between himself and them, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

However, with rich experience in internal competition in his previous life, Roy's mentality is relatively good.

Iron Blood requires a life-or-death battle to advance, which seems to be quite suitable for the blood of the ill-fated false king...

What's more, [Iron Blood] is only one aspect and cannot represent his entire strength.

For example, a lottery.

It is worth mentioning that the recent increase in reputation points has been unexpectedly significant.

The battle at the underground auction made the Sword Ghost's name famous again. Even longer ago, as a member of the Lionheart faction, he defeated the South Sea faction, which also earned Roy a certain reputation.

Now he finally managed to put together a ten-company company.

[1000 reputation points consumed in ten consecutive draws]

【Green Demon Potion】*3【Holy Water】*3【Blood Replenishing Potion】*3.

[Purple Item: Heart of the Earth]:

Description: This secret treasure was forged during the Third Age by the founding craftsmen of the Kingdom of Golden Sands, descendants of the Dwarves. It utilizes the techniques of the Earth Elves and Dwarves, as well as the scales of pure-blooded Earth Dragons. Possessing the power to withstand the attacks of high-level transcendents, it was once a treasure of the Golden Sands royal family, but was lost during the demonic invasion. Although the crafting techniques have been passed down, the lack of materials makes it impossible to reproduce.

Looking at the bright, dark-gilded gem in his hand, Roy really wanted to roar with excitement if he wasn't afraid of disturbing Alice's sleep late at night.

Although there are only ten consecutive draws, the value is surprisingly good!

It is no exaggeration to call this protective treasure, which can withstand the attack of a high-level transcendent, a national treasure!

Who knows what kind of monsters and demons will appear at this fate-defying node. It’s always good to have more life-saving things.

These days, no amount of armor is too thick!

However, the national treasure of the country of golden sands...

Thinking about how he had just collected the Mermaid's Tears some time ago and now got the [Heart of the Earth], Roy felt a little embarrassed.

Why does this bastard always take away other people's national treasures?

However, since it has been given to me, I have no choice but to use it reluctantly so as not to disgrace the function of this treasure.

After putting away the [Heart of the Earth], Roy took out the Mermaid's Tears.

Whether it's [Iron Blood] or extraordinary props, the power of these things is very limited.

For Roy, the real trump card is the [False King] who can borrow the power of demigod.

Only by sharpening this trump card to become stronger can there be hope of reversing the fateful node.

[Warning, King's Certificate detected! Do you want to consume Fate Reversal Points to activate it?]

[1 Fate Reversal Point has been consumed, activation confirmed!]

The aqua-blue halo swept over like a wave, sinking Roy's consciousness into darkness.

An unknown amount of time passed, and in a daze, Roy only felt himself falling into the lightless seabed.

He was not in pain, nor did he struggle. He just let himself sink quietly with the current, catching a glimpse of the fragments of time floating around him, which symbolized the past. It was as if he had crossed endless years and time, and as a traveler, he had broken into the gap between time and space.

When he finally sank to the bottom of the sea, a ray of light came from the darkness in the distance.

Roy couldn't stand in the water, but with a thought, his body automatically floated forward with the water. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance and reached the end of the light.

A dazzling light came.

Roy covered his face with his hands, but through the gaps between his fingertips, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

The endless blue sky and soft floating white clouds, in this sunny scene, is a coral throne piled with silver shells, dazzling jewels, and mottled with the years.

Roy suddenly understood.

This is a cave paradise hidden in the island. Apart from the underwater cave we just passed by and the sky that is out of reach above our heads, it is so quiet that it seems to be forgotten by the world, like another world.

On the coral throne, a blue-haired girl sat quietly with her eyes closed.

Beneath her aquamarine hair was skin as white as pearls and a figure as delicate as water. However, the transparent blue gauze skirt did not reveal a pair of feet, but a fish tail more flawless than a sapphire.

If you look closely, you can see that the girl's waist, abdomen, forearms, and even the tips of her ears are all covered with light fish scales that shine brightly.

The mermaid princess sleeps on the coral throne.

This fairy-tale-like beautiful scene made Roy hold his breath.

But he knew that he was just a witness to the past years, not a real visitor.

As he expected, a figure with black hair, black eyes and a charming figure quickly passed through the cave and visited this place.

She has a beauty that is not that of a mermaid, but her temperament is very different.

The smoky eyeshadow, the beautiful and graceful figure, the black wizard robe, the slightly revealing attire that exposed her belly, and the enchanting aura that could not be concealed at all, all revealed her true identity.

The black magician's witch?

Is this the Second Age?

The Second Age was the Age of Magic, and it was during this time that magicians emerged. Thousands of schools existed, and black magicians flourished for a time, but they soon fell into decline in the civil war among magicians and eventually became losers.

But how could a mythical creature like a mermaid exist in the Second Age?! Didn't mythical creatures already disappear in the First Age?!

After a moment of confusion, Roy didn't take it too seriously.

em...There are always omissions in historical documents. Didn't the kingdom's history books record that the [Red Blood Fire Dragon] died, but reappeared eighteen years later?

But is this a literal escape?

Roy secretly complained in his heart, always feeling that he was somewhat disrespectful to the mythical creatures.

This might be due to the influence of atheism in his previous life. Even when facing demigods, Roy felt that they were just more powerful creatures, not some kind of lofty and ethereal existence.

However, he soon discovered that his thoughts were nothing at all.

This woman is truly disrespectful!

Under Roy's horrified gaze, the black-haired girl actually walked forward with a smile and pinched the mermaid princess's cheek.

"What a cute child!"

The next second, the mermaid girl slowly opened her eyes.

The sky, which was clear just now, was instantly covered by dark clouds, as if it was a harbinger of a storm.

The mermaid princess's clear blue eyes exuded an unparalleled imperial pressure and an immense sense of oppression as she shouted coldly.

"Mortal, I told you not to touch the dolls...!"

That should have been a scolding full of pressure and as sharp as frost.

But under the unscrupulous rubbing of the black-haired girl, the girl's voice and the deformed face became sticky and soft.

Chapter 104: The Past is Smoke

Roy was terrified by the black-haired girl's bold behavior, fearing that she would be struck by lightning in the next second.

But even though there were rumbling thunder in the sky, no lightning struck.

The fish tail swept across, seemingly roughly, but it only pushed the black-haired girl aside, obviously showing mercy.

Roy's expression suddenly became a little strange.

You know, most purebred mythical creatures have mid-level extraordinary powers, and the mermaid in front of you is far more than that.

The mermaid's tears contain the power of a demigod. This mermaid princess must be the king of the sea who can rival [Dragon King Bahamut] and [True Ancestor Lilith].

As long as she wanted to, let alone cleaning up the mess, even moving a finger would be enough to crush an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, it looks like she has been completely eaten by the black-haired girl...

The two pushed and shoved each other, and it looked like an intimate fight between girls.

"Dorothy, how many times do I have to remind you? I am the noble king of the sea tribe and I will not tolerate your disrespect."

"But Leviathan is so cute, I can't help it, and..." The black-haired witch covered her mouth and smiled, unable to hide her evilness, "I think you are enjoying it, Leviathan."

Leviathan's eyes twitched suddenly, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he stood up from the coral throne.

"Have you finally gone too far in your dark magic and lost your mind? Which eye of yours can see me... ugh!"
