For Amakusa-kun, the process of competing against Avenger in the lava cave is naturally very thrilling.
Of course, he didn't choose to fight head-on. It was obviously a very stupid option to go head-to-head with the "devil" who was dazzled by anger and lost his mind.
Amid the cheers of some who were said to be his companions—
"Come on, Amakusa-kun! If you stand in the way here, we'll take the first step!"
"Wait a minute! Magic☆Merry, you really don't have any companion love, how could you leave Amakusa-kun here alone——"
"Young man, this is your misunderstanding. As a brave man, of course I love my companions very much, but, do you want to be thrown into the magma by the vengeful devil and melt without any bones left? A 'saint' sacrificed to draw fire for us. Now let's go!"
Magic☆Merry's figure is still terrifyingly nimble. Even if she drags along Fujimaru Tachika and Mash who are trying to resist, and Fufu's trampling as harassment, the speed of resolutely leaving does not necessarily decrease at all.
Even Miss Skaha saw this scene—it should be said that she saw such a brazen man who cheated people without any guilt, she couldn't help but praised inexplicably: "Ah, just relying on this to find a scapegoat." Speed, as expected of the most acclaimed magician."
During the fast escape of the group who abandoned Amakusa-kun, only the doctor who didn't need to run along in the projection could calmly express the most correct speech: "That's right, that's right, Magic☆Merry is so insidious and cunning People, Lixiang, you must be careful, Magic☆Merry may use you to defeat the big devil, and then defeat you with lightning speed, and take my dear Magic☆Ellie as her own!"
"This friend who seems to be Dr. Roman exudes the smell of waste wood. Your position here is to watch passers-by and villagers complaining, right—villagers should honestly cheer for the brave, and don't express stupid opinions at will. .”
Magic☆Merry——no, Merlin, finally cruelly unveiled the false disguise borrowed from the settings of the magician, revealing a sinister face that, in Dr. Roman's eyes, looks more like a demon than the previous vengeful ghost.
Although he was still smiling.
But, listen to what he said: "Heh, heh heh hahaha, we have come to this point, so what if you find out?"
"That's right! I, Magic☆Merry, although I'm a partner of justice, a virtual idol who spreads kindness and beauty, I still hide my selfish desires just under the pure appearance!"
"From Amakusa-kun's smile, which is far less friendly than mine, I saw the very familiar longing for Allie-ah, that's right, a humble creature like a love rival should be melted by magma or in other words Did he die with the devil in the back? Anyway, the two of them look alike in appearance, and the result is the same, isn’t it great, haha~”
Fujimaru Rika: "..."
Matthew: "..."
The defeated dog and the tied long ears are captives, and there is no human right to ignore. Miss Scathach, who took over the post of looking after them, glanced at Merlin with a slightly surprised and appreciative gaze. .
"Taking the first opportunity, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will put your rival in a doomed situation. Yes, magician, you have done a lot better than that idiot Sertanda."
For some reason, Roman, who was far away in Chaldea, seemed to be shaken by an inexplicable cold wind. Then, his fists were clenched again, and his green eyes seemed to be breathing fire, and he stared fiercely at the magician. ☆Merry.
"Damn—Even if Allie-chan doesn't belong to me, she's everyone's idol! Asshole Magic☆Merry, you don't have the right to monopolize it!"
Magic☆Mei Li (pretending not to hear as usual): "Hey~ Let's go, boys and girls, don't worry about the unimportant roar of the villagers, hurry up, the city gate is in front of us."
Well, we have been led by Magic☆Merry to the present, and neither Fujimaru Tachika nor Mash will be surprised if anything unbelievable happens.
Even, they are at the gate of the tall castle that is close at hand.When he suddenly saw an extremely dazzling and also extremely noble golden figure, he didn't at all—
"Wait! Wait! Wait, wait!!! Enough, this time is really enough!"
The young man who can be called the most miserable master in the world roared heart-piercingly, and there was no lack of grief and indignation in his words: "Gao Wenqing, Mad King, Earl and the three of them joined me... It's still acceptable... ..."
"Aren't you and the man behind the pyramid who rule the pyramid mortal enemies who can never live in harmony, Your Excellency the King of Heroes?!"
That's right.
The noble person who appeared here with such an attitude of indifference and indifference to himself was none other than Gilgamesh——the king of heroes who happened to be in the middle according to age.
Fortunately, the other two Gilgamesh were not there.
No, it should be heartbroken, why aren't the other two Gilgamesh here?
Mr. Gilgamesh is the easiest and most reasonable Gilgamesh to communicate with. Even the wise king can communicate after he understands his brain circuit and bottom line.
As expected, Wang's lofty eyes soon reflected the figures of the "braves", and the most conspicuous one was "Magic☆Merry".
Gilgamesh only used one sentence to repeat the annoying words of grief and indignation.
"Do you think this king really wants to stand here? Hmph, compared to the doomed Sun, this so-called magician is more annoying to this king!"
"EA, heaven and earth are obediently leaving Pizhixing——"
...God!
Putting a treasure at the beginning of a disagreement - such a bad habit, as if it started from a certain Mr. Earl who was fighting with a certain Ruler to the death. Since then, even the King of Heroes has come up with this trick !
As for the King of Heroes' treasure, everyone in Chaldea could only see it on the battlefield against the enemy. At least before just now, they never thought that this EA would be thrown down on their side...
"It's okay, don't worry, we have already defeated knights, ferocious dogs, and devils, and we can easily defeat a small boss of a level!"
"—Magic☆Merry! What can you do?"
This is not an EX-rank Noble Phantasm that can be opened casually!
Matthew stood in the front right away, his hands holding the shield were tense, and the expression on his face was also tense, showing unavoidable astonishment.
Walking here, from the appearance of Magic☆Merry and Amakusa-kun at the very beginning, to Gao Wenqing's avoidance of a certain issue, the Mad King behaved no differently (mainly because he was always so indifferent There is no way to reveal any flaws), the suspected release of water, and the Cave King who grabbed Amakusa-kun to open the treasure but seemed to let them go on purpose... Summarize these, and you will be able to detect more and more strange behaviors ——
"The incident is becoming more and more suspicious, senior."
"That's right, but we still have to stop Gilgamesh first, and let's see what Magic☆Merry is going to do!"
Magic☆Merry, who has worked hard all the way through, did not disappoint his companions.
I saw that the white-haired magician was unmoved by the influence of the treasure before the official opening of the color-changing treasure, and only raised his staff indifferently, and then shouted:
"That alert Lancer hiding in the dark, if you don't make a move, Miss Scathach from our side is about to get fucked."
Just right, the Lancer class restrains the Archer class.
Miss Scathach, who was able to clean up the mad king, would not have died, but after joining the team, she became a heroic spirit and signed a contract with Fujimaru Tachika, and the rank she got was Lancer.
Moreover, Miss Scathach's Spear of the Dead Thorn also has the effect of special attack on heroic spirits with divine nature. As the strongest mixed-blood hero king of human and god, he can almost become the target of her gun training——
"Haha, I was completely seen through." Mr. Lancer, who was really hiding in the dark and observing the situation here, smiled and showed up very cheerfully.
"Thank you, master, Ms. Matthew, Mei... Oh, is it Magic☆Mei Li? And the queen of the land of shadows, the hard journey can end here."
"... Mister Enkidu!"
The figure of the green-haired hero whose name was called was completely revealed under the light, and his kindness and words of relief comforted the exhausted Fujimaru Tateka and the others.
Enkidu also patted his best friend on the shoulder in public: "That's enough, Jill, let's scare to this extent."
Gilgamesh: "Scaring? Are you kidding me? My king wants to destroy this unsightly bastard, but it has never been so vivid!"
A certain projection suddenly interjected: "Ahem, I have never wanted to agree with the King of Heroes' opinions as much as I do now..."
Merlin: "Hey, that's too unfriendly. Anyway, I'm still a brave man, brave man!"
Until now, Fujimaru Tachika and Mash who have been left alone still can't understand that this whole incident may really be a "Halloween Surprise" by all members, and it was kept in the dark. Maybe just the two of them, plus a doctor...
"Then we have passed the test now, can you tell us the ins and outs, Enkidu?" Fujimaru Tachika asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Enkidu shook his head with a smile, and gave him an answer that surprised him: "No, Jill and I are not the key to ending this 'adventure', master, you still need Go forward, enter that pyramid, and defeat the real 'big devil'."
Fujimaru Rika: "..."
Fujimaru Tachika: "...Okay, Great Demon King, right, let's go and defeat him now."
However, keeping speechless and taking a few steps forward, Fujimaru Tachika seemed to suddenly remember something, turned back temporarily, and asked another question with the mentality of not expecting to get the answer now:
"That... I really want to know, the meaning of Gao Wenqing and the others I met on the road is just a small boss of the level? But, they hardly caused us much obstruction? Besides, I am a little worried about Amakusa-kun..."
Fujimaru Tachika was worried that Amakusa-kun, who was already isolated, would become the second person to be beaten after a certain pharaoh.
Regarding this question—unexpectedly, Enkidu raised the corners of his lips rather mysteriously.
"Don't worry, master, they also have other tasks."
Now that we've talked about this issue...ah, it doesn't matter if it's revealed a little earlier.
"It should be about the same time."
"Then, please look in that direction—"
Following the raised arm of the green-haired heroic spirit, his gaze slowly extended towards the pointed direction.
"Wait, what is that?"
Fujimaru Tachika's eyes widened involuntarily.
"Senior, if you read correctly..."
Mash unknowingly placed the shield lightly on the ground at the gate of the city.
The castle is located on a high ground. At this time, standing in front of the city gate that can look down at the near and far away, their eyes have crossed the mountains hidden in lava, and crossed the snowfields that are still covered with snow... Where the dense forest meets, the outline of the small town can be seen faintly.
A few days ago—that is, when they left the outer city, it was still dark inside the city, except for the lights of oil lamps lit indoors by every household at night, there was no other light to be seen, because the ruler of the city The "devil king" of the city forbids the citizens to light up the lanterns to celebrate Halloween.
However, at this time, it seems that the "change" happened quietly during the period when the brave men were busy on their way.
"I can still see it from such a distance... It's quite hidden."
Miss Scathach's cold face, which is not easily moved, did not change, but when she also looked at the past from a distance, there was a vague sentence, and I don't know who she said it to: "The person who came up with such an idea, It’s really hard work.”
--yes.
This response sounded from the heart of a certain magician. There was no outlet, but it seemed to add a soft meaning like a sigh.
"I see, it's really, an extraordinarily bright light."
Although, not only he can see.
Enkidu, who pointed out the direction for them, was watching, and Gilgamesh was watching, and his haughty expression seemed to be quietly and softly at the moment his gaze fell into the distance.
Even the complicated-looking Nitocris among the "captives" inadvertently noticed that the dangerous man who woke up but stood in the corner where the light from above his head was least cast seemed to be bound by some invisible rope. Traction, turn the dark eyes to that side.
After Nitocris was slightly stunned, the already extraordinarily complicated mood became even more difficult to express in words.
——Great...that lord, the disrespectful person who can hinder you is far more than the King of Heroes you are targeting.
——The man in front of him is one of them.Even though he himself had vaguely noticed a little bit of that strange state of mind, he couldn't see his eyes slowly, like ice sheets being melted step by step....
A few days ago, the small city was so dim that it couldn't see much fire, but now it was surrounded by orange light, which was conspicuous but not glaring.
A small point, followed by another point of light that is still too small to be seen. Countless light points are strung together and connected to each other. Don’t think too much about the source of the light. It must be a special product of Halloween, a jack-o-lantern made by people.
The jack-o'-lanterns are hung up, and bats, candles, and pudding-like ornaments appear in every street corner, alley, and even under the eaves, filling the entire city——
The warmth of the festive atmosphere that dissipated the icy night could even reach across such a wide space to the hearts of those who witnessed it.
Well, although it's not good to interrupt everyone's imagination, Enkidu's voice sounded right after.
"Braves, go ahead and defeat the 'big devil'. The sooner it ends, the sooner you can meet with your companions who are distributing jack-o-lanterns over there, and the sooner this Halloween celebration can start. "
*****
In his hand, he held a jack-o-lantern carved by the ingenious people himself.
The reaction of children is much faster than that of adults. It seems that it is only a blink of an eye. The interface, which was deserted at first, is immediately filled with children running happily.
And his place is the place where the children are most closely surrounded.
"Trick, or treat~"
"Here, give you candy."
It is precisely because Ellie brought several bags full of candies and biscuits in the basket straddling her elbows on this night when the sky was gradually falling with snow that the children rushed to reach out their hands, The lively atmosphere was brought over in one go.
"I made this myself, because there are so many of them, it took several days to finish them all, and then rely on magic to keep them fresh until tonight, the real Halloween night."
After explaining this, the children finally scattered happily, and the baskets and pockets were visibly empty.
"Thank you, Sir Airlie." During the process of being surrounded, the tall knight guarding his side all the time inadvertently lowered his eyes, and saw the first piece of air falling in Airlie's hair. snowflake.
He stretched out his hand, picked up the snowflake carefully, and before he could drop it, the snow melted on his fingertips.
"It's a pity that I don't have the skills to bake biscuits, so I can't help you and that red Archer. Well, fortunately, it's easier to carve pumpkins into funny faces."
"Yes, the jack-o-lanterns carved by Gao Wenqing are very exquisite. You can tell by the expressions on the children's faces. They also like it very much."
"What do you mean by 'also'...?"
For some reason, the Sun Knight paid attention to a certain detail in Airlie's words.
And Airlie seemed to be aware of his faint uneasiness, without hesitation, he said at the next moment: "It means that I also really like Gao Wenqing's works."
The jack-o-lantern held in his hand was the last one, the only one left that could not be distributed.
Ellie patted the hard shell of the pumpkin lightly, raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on Mr. Knight's slightly redder complexion than usual, and couldn't help laughing.
"Can you give me the leftover pumpkin?"
Gao Wen looked straight at him, the light projected from his dark blue eyes, like the light of a jack-o-lantern hanging at the corner of the street, warm but not dazzling.
"Ah, I am very happy that you like it. If you are willing to accept it, I will feel even more unparalleled happiness."
Ellie really took the jack-o-lantern with great care.
"The jack-o-lanterns and sweets are all distributed, shall we go back?"
"Mr. Airlie... let's go back first. I still have to look for candies. Mr. Lancelot, who is in a tavern in his hair, is intoxicated, and Mr. Tristan has gone somewhere."
Airlie felt a little regretful, but he could understand Gao Wenqing's concerns.
It doesn't matter if we can't go back together now, after all, we will meet again at the agreed time and place.
"Well, then I'll go first."
"Ok."
Gao Wen's eyes remained soft.
Before parting with Airlie temporarily, he took out a long blue scarf,
——Even though Heroic Spirit wouldn't feel cold at the temperature with just a little snow, but he still wanted to tie him... this scarf that I bought in this world because I thought of him.
With that in mind, Gao Wen really did it.
The soft cloth that won't hurt the skin is loosely wrapped around the neck several times, as if these layers of "walls" can be used to block the rapidly disappearing heat, but at the same time, Airlie's long hair cannot be avoided. Send it together and wrap it in.
The two identical blues blended together, and it was impossible to tell them apart.
"If I remember correctly, you bought this on the street that time..."
So, reciprocity—no, no, even if there is no such "gift", the things he prepared will still be sent out at this time.
Airlie freed up a hand and pulled down the scarf that was about to cover half of his face.He also smiled at Mr. Knight with the face that was fully exposed, which seemed to be shrouded in a soft light on this snowy night.
Then, he took out a small bag that was secretly hidden, slightly different from the candy bag distributed to the children earlier, and put it in the hands of the slightly startled knight.
"Thank you, Gao Wenqing, happy Halloween."
Gao Wen was stunned for quite a while, then he smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not a child, Sir Ellie."
"But... Happy Halloween because of you."
……
The outermost town is the first stop.
This is also a step that was planned in advance, to distribute candies first, to help the residents of the city prepare Halloween decorations, and after completion, follow the route that the Master and the others took, and collect the "Little Demon Kings" who were entrusted to act as NPCs one by one.
However, Ellie didn't expect that the route was correct, but the process was a little different because some people didn't follow the routine.
For example, those NPCs who were supposed to be "recovered" by him and returned to the pyramid together, Nitocris and Mad King Cu Chulainn were dragged away by the "braves" as captives.
Airlie had no choice but to cross the cave and the snow field to the lava cave before the city gate.
then……
Unexpectedly, there is also a "surprise" here.
"Edmund, Amakusa, what are you... doing?"
No matter how you look at it, the two men are fighting murderously: "..."
"It's nothing."
"Yes, we're talking amicably—"
"Communication" - each other's treasures hit each other, can you send Avenger/Ruler, who feels disgusting no matter how you look at it, back to the Hall of Valor?
Of course, he didn't choose to fight head-on. It was obviously a very stupid option to go head-to-head with the "devil" who was dazzled by anger and lost his mind.
Amid the cheers of some who were said to be his companions—
"Come on, Amakusa-kun! If you stand in the way here, we'll take the first step!"
"Wait a minute! Magic☆Merry, you really don't have any companion love, how could you leave Amakusa-kun here alone——"
"Young man, this is your misunderstanding. As a brave man, of course I love my companions very much, but, do you want to be thrown into the magma by the vengeful devil and melt without any bones left? A 'saint' sacrificed to draw fire for us. Now let's go!"
Magic☆Merry's figure is still terrifyingly nimble. Even if she drags along Fujimaru Tachika and Mash who are trying to resist, and Fufu's trampling as harassment, the speed of resolutely leaving does not necessarily decrease at all.
Even Miss Skaha saw this scene—it should be said that she saw such a brazen man who cheated people without any guilt, she couldn't help but praised inexplicably: "Ah, just relying on this to find a scapegoat." Speed, as expected of the most acclaimed magician."
During the fast escape of the group who abandoned Amakusa-kun, only the doctor who didn't need to run along in the projection could calmly express the most correct speech: "That's right, that's right, Magic☆Merry is so insidious and cunning People, Lixiang, you must be careful, Magic☆Merry may use you to defeat the big devil, and then defeat you with lightning speed, and take my dear Magic☆Ellie as her own!"
"This friend who seems to be Dr. Roman exudes the smell of waste wood. Your position here is to watch passers-by and villagers complaining, right—villagers should honestly cheer for the brave, and don't express stupid opinions at will. .”
Magic☆Merry——no, Merlin, finally cruelly unveiled the false disguise borrowed from the settings of the magician, revealing a sinister face that, in Dr. Roman's eyes, looks more like a demon than the previous vengeful ghost.
Although he was still smiling.
But, listen to what he said: "Heh, heh heh hahaha, we have come to this point, so what if you find out?"
"That's right! I, Magic☆Merry, although I'm a partner of justice, a virtual idol who spreads kindness and beauty, I still hide my selfish desires just under the pure appearance!"

Anyway, the two of them look alike in appearance, and the result is the same, isn’t it great, haha~”
Fujimaru Rika: "..."
Matthew: "..."
The defeated dog and the tied long ears are captives, and there is no human right to ignore. Miss Scathach, who took over the post of looking after them, glanced at Merlin with a slightly surprised and appreciative gaze. .
"Taking the first opportunity, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will put your rival in a doomed situation. Yes, magician, you have done a lot better than that idiot Sertanda."
For some reason, Roman, who was far away in Chaldea, seemed to be shaken by an inexplicable cold wind. Then, his fists were clenched again, and his green eyes seemed to be breathing fire, and he stared fiercely at the magician. ☆Merry.
"Damn—Even if Allie-chan doesn't belong to me, she's everyone's idol! Asshole Magic☆Merry, you don't have the right to monopolize it!"
Magic☆Mei Li (pretending not to hear as usual): "Hey~ Let's go, boys and girls, don't worry about the unimportant roar of the villagers, hurry up, the city gate is in front of us."
Well, we have been led by Magic☆Merry to the present, and neither Fujimaru Tachika nor Mash will be surprised if anything unbelievable happens.
Even, they are at the gate of the tall castle that is close at hand.When he suddenly saw an extremely dazzling and also extremely noble golden figure, he didn't at all—

That's right.
The noble person who appeared here with such an attitude of indifference and indifference to himself was none other than Gilgamesh——the king of heroes who happened to be in the middle according to age.

"Thank you, master, Ms. Matthew, Mei... Oh, is it Magic☆Mei Li? And the queen of the land of shadows, the hard journey can end here."
"... Mister Enkidu!"
The figure of the green-haired hero whose name was called was completely revealed under the light, and his kindness and words of relief comforted the exhausted Fujimaru Tateka and the others.
Enkidu also patted his best friend on the shoulder in public: "That's enough, Jill, let's scare to this extent."

Now that we've talked about this issue...ah, it doesn't matter if it's revealed a little earlier.

"Then, please look in that direction—"
Following the raised arm of the green-haired heroic spirit, his gaze slowly extended towards the pointed direction.
"Wait, what is that?"
Fujimaru Tachika's eyes widened involuntarily.
"Senior, if you read correctly..."
Mash unknowingly placed the shield lightly on the ground at the gate of the city.

Although, not only he can see.
Enkidu, who pointed out the direction for them, was watching, and Gilgamesh was watching, and his haughty expression seemed to be quietly and softly at the moment his gaze fell into the distance.
Even the complicated-looking Nitocris among the "captives" inadvertently noticed that the dangerous man who woke up but stood in the corner where the light from above his head was least cast seemed to be bound by some invisible rope. Traction, turn the dark eyes to that side.
After Nitocris was slightly stunned, the already extraordinarily complicated mood became even more difficult to express in words.

The warmth of the festive atmosphere that dissipated the icy night could even reach across such a wide space to the hearts of those who witnessed it.
Well, although it's not good to interrupt everyone's imagination, Enkidu's voice sounded right after.
"Braves, go ahead and defeat the 'big devil'. The sooner it ends, the sooner you can meet with your companions who are distributing jack-o-lanterns over there, and the sooner this Halloween celebration can start. "
*****
In his hand, he held a jack-o-lantern carved by the ingenious people himself.
The reaction of children is much faster than that of adults. It seems that it is only a blink of an eye. The interface, which was deserted at first, is immediately filled with children running happily.
And his place is the place where the children are most closely surrounded.
"Trick, or treat~"
"Here, give you candy."
It is precisely because Ellie brought several bags full of candies and biscuits in the basket straddling her elbows on this night when the sky was gradually falling with snow that the children rushed to reach out their hands, The lively atmosphere was brought over in one go.
"I made this myself, because there are so many of them, it took several days to finish them all, and then rely on magic to keep them fresh until tonight, the real Halloween night."
After explaining this, the children finally scattered happily, and the baskets and pockets were visibly empty.
"Thank you, Sir Airlie." During the process of being surrounded, the tall knight guarding his side all the time inadvertently lowered his eyes, and saw the first piece of air falling in Airlie's hair. snowflake.
He stretched out his hand, picked up the snowflake carefully, and before he could drop it, the snow melted on his fingertips.
"It's a pity that I don't have the skills to bake biscuits, so I can't help you and that red Archer. Well, fortunately, it's easier to carve pumpkins into funny faces."
"Yes, the jack-o-lanterns carved by Gao Wenqing are very exquisite. You can tell by the expressions on the children's faces. They also like it very much."
"What do you mean by 'also'...?"
For some reason, the Sun Knight paid attention to a certain detail in Airlie's words.
And Airlie seemed to be aware of his faint uneasiness, without hesitation, he said at the next moment: "It means that I also really like Gao Wenqing's works."
The jack-o-lantern held in his hand was the last one, the only one left that could not be distributed.
Ellie patted the hard shell of the pumpkin lightly, raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on Mr. Knight's slightly redder complexion than usual, and couldn't help laughing.
"Can you give me the leftover pumpkin?"
Gao Wen looked straight at him, the light projected from his dark blue eyes, like the light of a jack-o-lantern hanging at the corner of the street, warm but not dazzling.
"Ah, I am very happy that you like it. If you are willing to accept it, I will feel even more unparalleled happiness."
Ellie really took the jack-o-lantern with great care.
"The jack-o-lanterns and sweets are all distributed, shall we go back?"
"Mr. Airlie... let's go back first. I still have to look for candies. Mr. Lancelot, who is in a tavern in his hair, is intoxicated, and Mr. Tristan has gone somewhere."
Airlie felt a little regretful, but he could understand Gao Wenqing's concerns.
It doesn't matter if we can't go back together now, after all, we will meet again at the agreed time and place.
"Well, then I'll go first."
"Ok."
Gao Wen's eyes remained soft.
Before parting with Airlie temporarily, he took out a long blue scarf,
——Even though Heroic Spirit wouldn't feel cold at the temperature with just a little snow, but he still wanted to tie him... this scarf that I bought in this world because I thought of him.
With that in mind, Gao Wen really did it.
The soft cloth that won't hurt the skin is loosely wrapped around the neck several times, as if these layers of "walls" can be used to block the rapidly disappearing heat, but at the same time, Airlie's long hair cannot be avoided. Send it together and wrap it in.
The two identical blues blended together, and it was impossible to tell them apart.
"If I remember correctly, you bought this on the street that time..."
So, reciprocity—no, no, even if there is no such "gift", the things he prepared will still be sent out at this time.
Airlie freed up a hand and pulled down the scarf that was about to cover half of his face.He also smiled at Mr. Knight with the face that was fully exposed, which seemed to be shrouded in a soft light on this snowy night.
Then, he took out a small bag that was secretly hidden, slightly different from the candy bag distributed to the children earlier, and put it in the hands of the slightly startled knight.
"Thank you, Gao Wenqing, happy Halloween."
Gao Wen was stunned for quite a while, then he smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not a child, Sir Ellie."
"But... Happy Halloween because of you."
……
The outermost town is the first stop.
This is also a step that was planned in advance, to distribute candies first, to help the residents of the city prepare Halloween decorations, and after completion, follow the route that the Master and the others took, and collect the "Little Demon Kings" who were entrusted to act as NPCs one by one.
However, Ellie didn't expect that the route was correct, but the process was a little different because some people didn't follow the routine.
For example, those NPCs who were supposed to be "recovered" by him and returned to the pyramid together, Nitocris and Mad King Cu Chulainn were dragged away by the "braves" as captives.
Airlie had no choice but to cross the cave and the snow field to the lava cave before the city gate.
then……
Unexpectedly, there is also a "surprise" here.
"Edmund, Amakusa, what are you... doing?"
No matter how you look at it, the two men are fighting murderously: "..."
"It's nothing."
"Yes, we're talking amicably—"
"Communication" - each other's treasures hit each other, can you send Avenger/Ruler, who feels disgusting no matter how you look at it, back to the Hall of Valor?
