Not long after Keech and Amir sat down in the bacon restaurant, Gordon followed him alone and ordered a double serving of bacon bibimbap and a glass of strong ale.

"Tell me, what are you going to do in the Abyss of Nightmare? Do you need to hide someone?" When the owner of the smoked meat shop delivered Gordon's food to the table and turned to leave, Gordon turned his head and asked Amir in a low voice. road.

"There's nothing to be shy about, but I'm going into the abyss." Amir replied indifferently.

Hearing the word abyss at the end, Gordon almost spit out the ale he had just poured into his mouth, and stared at Amir with wide eyes, "You're not kidding me, are you?"

"I asked you to bring more people." Amir replied solemnly.

"Go there, how many people I bring is not enough for you!" Gordon frowned, looked at Amir, then at Kiki, "Are you sure you will come out alive?"

"I only want the magic core, and the rest of the flesh and blood materials are all yours." Amir didn't answer, and directly proposed a plan to divide the spoils, "Of course, don't expect to get commission from me afterward."

"The commission is a small matter, the key is life. Don't forget, last time we only entered the abyss for a few meters and ran out of shit." Gordon muttered, rubbing his chin and thinking.

Amir didn't urge him, and continued to eat his lunch on his plate.

After thinking about it for a while, Gordon clenched his fists with determination, "F*ck, I did it! But it's okay, I reserve the right to run for my life at any time!"

"I'm afraid you will be reluctant to leave when the time comes." Amir said contemptuously.

"I'm not the kind of idiot who wants money and life." Gordon returned Amir's white eyes, then picked up the glass again, took a big gulp of ale, and asked, "How long are you going to toss in it? I recently I'm so busy, I can't take too long."

"How about a month?" Amir asked.

Gordon immediately rolled his eyes again, "Do you really think you can live in the abyss for a month?"

"If there are enough supplies, it shouldn't be a problem." Amir replied confidently.

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from." Gordon shook his head, "One month is too long, if you can really gain a foothold in the abyss, half a month, if not, I will accompany you in the outer abyss a week."

Amir thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll take Timzy to prepare supplies in a while, and you should prepare everything you need, don't rub us with anything." Gordon warned rudely.

Amir smiled, but didn't answer.

After lunch, Gordon went to prepare the things he needed, and Amir took Kiki to the grocery store in the town, bought two sets of sleeping bags and a travel tent, and replenished some dry food and Kiki's recent obsession pear wine.

After returning to the hotel, Kiki watched Amir packing his bags there, and said suddenly, "It would be great if there was a space magic weapon, to save you such trouble."

"The space magic weapon can't hold these things." Amir replied without raising his head.

"Can't you?" Keech couldn't help being taken aback.

"Although the space magic device can load a large number of items, it can't make things smaller, so unless you make a space magic device with an opening as large as a suitcase, otherwise such a large thing can't be stuffed into Fernando. The kind of small ring on your hand." Amir explained, "It is said that such a large space magic weapon is said to be difficult to control the port, and it is easy to become a black hole like the gate of hell."

"But what's the use of making such a small magic weapon? What can it hold?" Kiqi asked in confusion.

"Magic scrolls, alchemy materials, gold, gems... and so on." Amir said while packing his bags.

Kitchton felt that the significance of his study of space magic was reduced by one more.

"By the way, if we're lucky, we might be able to meet the Nightmare Beast in the Abyss of Nightmare, and then we'll have a chance to get the Nightmare Beast's stomach. That thing is like a space magic weapon, which can absorb various items, and the port can also be stretched freely. "Amir said suddenly, but immediately changed his voice, "No, if you are lucky, you may not be able to meet it. You have to be extremely unlucky."

"A very dangerous monster?" Kiki asked with his head tilted.

"The most dangerous monster." Amir emphasized, "The Abyss of Nightmare is named after it to a certain extent. This kind of monster only appears in the deepest part of the Abyss of Nightmare, which is the abyss that Gordon and I said Nightmare beasts can make people fall into nightmares, like sleepwalking, and completely lose their combat effectiveness."

"...I haven't had a dream yet," Keech whispered.

"I also think you won't be influenced by the nightmare beast to take you into the abyss." Amir tied the last piece of the rope, stood up and said to Kiki, "It's just that if our luck is really bad enough to meet the nightmare beast Beast, I am afraid that you not only have to face the nightmare beast alone, but also be careful of sneak attacks from behind us - from a certain point of view, the power of the nightmare beast is actually insanity, it can use dreams to drive its enemies, but it They are not human beings, and they are far less proficient in controlling the human heart than soul magicians, so sometimes it will backfire."

"Just freeze you all?" Keech replied disapprovingly.Freezing is now his most proficient spell, and it is absolutely handy to use, and it can be used in an instant.

"Baby, your freezing technique will freeze people to death." Amir said helplessly, "Use the ice tomb instead of using the freezing technique directly."

"The ice tomb is too mentally exhausting." Kiqi pouted.

The name of Ice Tomb sounds unknown, but it is actually an advanced defensive spell. After casting the spell, it can condense a semicircular ice cover at the designated position to resist threats from all directions. Confined within the ice cover, they can only be beaten passively until the ice tomb disappears.

"There are only four people including me, and you don't have to wear one of them. If necessary, give up that woman." Amir said.

"But I'm not familiar with this magic." Keech frowned.

"One night is enough for you to practice it." Amir said without doubt.

Keech couldn't think of a better suggestion, so he could only shut his mouth in depression, trying to recall the spells and spell flow of the "Ice Tomb".

Early the next morning, Kiki was awakened by Amir sleepily, left the hotel, and headed towards the canyon in the east.

The entrance of the Abyss of Nightmare is located in Oz, but in terms of its overall location, it is just at the intersection of Oz, Yalong and the Alliance of Lordaene. It looks like a long and narrow canyon, covered by dark fog all year round. Surrounded by mountains, but when you really step into it, you will find yourself in the endless forest, just like stepping into a different world.

The biggest specialty of Nightmare Abyss is Warcraft. In fact, there are only Warcraft here.Because even ordinary wild beasts will be demonized soon after entering here, giving birth to a magic core, displaying supernatural powers, and will no longer be docile and tame as before.

Because of this, Amir and his party did not ride horses, but marched towards the Abyss of Nightmare entirely on their legs. However, after Amir added the lightness effect of the wind control technique to Gordon and others' legs, their speed was no faster than The horse riding was much slower, but the luggage had to be carried on his own shoulders, and Amir did not take over all of it kindly.

However, although there are many monsters in the Abyss of Nightmare, they also have a weakness, that is, none of them can leave the Abyss of Nightmare.Someone once tried to catch the low-level monsters in the Abyss of Nightmare and sell them for money. As a result, within a few days after leaving the Abyss of Nightmare, the monsters weakened and died, and even the elemental essence in the magic core in their bodies was exhausted, making them worthless .

But this weakness also provides convenience for adventurers. Many weak adventurers only move around the periphery of the Abyss of Nightmare, looking for monsters that can be hunted inside during the day, and return to the land outside the canyon to rest at night. Repeatedly.

When Amir and his party came to the outskirts of the canyon where the Abyss of Nightmare was located, they saw many tents set up by such adventurers.

It was almost dusk, and it was the most suitable time for dinner for travelers. Several groups of adventurers sat around their tents in groups of three or four, drinking wine or eating dry food. With a barbecue, I don't know if it is a spoil from the forest.

Amir and the others didn't plan to enter the Abyss of Nightmare at night, so they immediately found an open space around them, settled down, and prepared to rest for a night before entering the canyon.

Since Amir didn't ask Kiki for help, Kiki didn't intervene either, and stood by the side boredly watching Amir and Gordon set up a tent there.Timzy didn't help either, but he didn't stay idle either. He went to the bushes outside the canyon to rummage, pick, and cut down. He quickly brought back a bunch of branches, lit a bonfire by the tent, and prepared dinner. .

Irene is just as idle as Keech, but she doesn't show her "leisure" frankly like Keech, but widens her eyes and ears like a beagle, vigilantly examining other adventures around her By.

— Can you really see something?

Keech yawned boredly as he thought about it.He had been practicing the ice tomb last night, but he got up so early today and kept on his way. He was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open.

Keech was thinking about skipping dinner and going to sleep first, when he looked up and saw a young woman with light brown hair standing up from another group of adventurers not far away, walking towards them .

——Looks a little familiar?

Keech thought suspiciously, but couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Your Excellency Amir?" The brown-haired woman ignored Kiki and Irene, went straight to Amir, and greeted her.

When she was walking towards them, Amir had already noticed her, but it wasn't until she came beside him that Amir showed just the right doubt, and asked in surprise, "Magician Rachel, why are you here?"

——Ah, it's Rachel, Tina's most hated female wizard!

Kiki next to her finally remembered her identity.He has never seen her a few times, and every time she was wearing a green magic robe, her hair was neatly combed, the appearance in memory was the same as the woman in front of him with a simple ponytail, wearing men's clothing but no corset It is quite different.

"I'm here to practice." Seeing Amir calling out her name, Rachel immediately showed a smile, and then smiled embarrassedly, "I failed the intermediate magician examination last year, so I want to come here to improve."

"Oh, it is indeed easier to improve the magician's elemental control by practicing here." Amir nodded, but did not intend to continue the chat. He raised the canvas in his hand and signaled Rachel to build a tent.

"Sorry." Rachel stepped aside quickly, but immediately couldn't help but ask, "Do you need my help?"

"This is not a job for a lady." Amir declined with a smile.

Rachel had no choice but to shut up for the time being, but she still didn't leave, as if she wanted to wait for Amir to finish her work before continuing to strike up a conversation.

Seeing Rachel like this, Keech suddenly understood the real reason why Tina didn't like her.In terms of personality alone, although Rachel has a kind of self-righteous justice, it is far from disgusting.But at this moment, when Kiki found that the way she looked at Amir was exactly the same as the way Lizzie looked at Hill, Kiki immediately felt the same way as Tina.

——It’s really annoying!

Kitsch curled his lips, and looked at Rachel with cold eyes.

"Who is she?" Seeing that Rachel and Amir seemed to know each other very well, Irene asked Kiki curiously.

"A junior magician like you." Keech replied indifferently.

"Is she just a junior? She seems to be older than me!" Hearing that this woman is just a junior magician on the street, Irene immediately showed a look of disdain.

Keech didn't answer, but he didn't feel at all disgusted by Irene's contempt.

After a while, Amir and Gordon set up the tent one after another, and Timzi also prepared hot mushroom soup and bacon rolls, calling Amir and others to come over for dinner.

Seeing that Rachel still had no intention of leaving, Amir had no choice but to politely ask her if she wanted to eat together. Rachel nodded immediately and sat down beside Amir.

However, Rachel's skin is still relatively thin. After sitting down, she just took a sip of the mushroom soup that Timzi handed her, and did not do any more embarrassing things such as helping Amir with meals and feeding.But with her, it became very inconvenient for Amir, Gordon and others to talk, and Irene, who is also a female magician, was arrogant and refused to talk to her, so the atmosphere around the campfire was a little deserted, and only The sound of drinking soup and chewing.

Seeing that no one was talking, Rachel plucked up her courage and asked Amir, "Your Excellency Amir, why did you come to the Abyss of Nightmare?"

Amir smiled, but did not respond, but Irene next to him couldn't help but continued: "Hey, do you have common sense? Is it okay to inquire about such things?"

Rachel's face turned red from being choked, and she immediately put away her smile and returned to her usual rigid expression. She looked Irene up and down, raised her head and asked, "Are you a magician too?"

"Can't you 'see' it?" Irene deliberately bit down on the word in the middle, and turned her hand to take out the magic badge, and put it on her collar.

Not to be outdone, Rachel immediately took out her magic badge and pinned it to her skirt.

——Hey, it's just two junior magician badges, what's there to show off!

Keech, who had been silent all this time, was speechless and looked up at the sky, but Gordon and Timzie sat there with great interest watching Irene and Rachel's "fight", Amir also smiled and said nothing, and had no intention of intervening to stop it .

But Kiki couldn't bear it any longer, and said abruptly, "Amir, I'm sleepy."

"The sleeping bag has been put away, go in and sleep by yourself." Amir replied casually.

Keech didn't get up and leave as he said, but just stared at Amir expressionlessly, without moving.

Amir immediately smiled knowingly, turned to Rachel and said, "I'm so sorry, Magician Rachel, look, it's time for a break now."

Although Amir said it politely, the intention of chasing guests was very obvious. In addition, Rachel was jealous of Keech. Although she kept pretending not to recognize him and turned a blind eye to him, she couldn't really He forgot the rift they had had, and the fact that Keech had been apprenticed to Tina.

After a little hesitation, Rachel finally stood up and said goodbye to Amir, but turned around immediately after walking a few steps, and said to Amir with a little anxiety: "Among the adventurers who came with me He is a very good warrior, if His Excellency Amir is willing, maybe he can join us..."

"Sorry, Magician Rachel." Amir interrupted with a smile, "The place we are going to is not something that 'excellent' warriors can reach."

"I took the liberty." Rachel smiled awkwardly, turned around completely, and walked in the direction she came from.

Amir didn't pay attention to her whereabouts, and turned to Kiki and asked, "Go to sleep?"

"Yeah." Kiki nodded indifferently, put down the wooden bowl, and stood up with Amir.

Seeing them standing up one after the other, Gordon joked jokingly, "I said Amir, how old is he, and you need to send him to bed yourself after he sleeps?"

"No way, if you don't take good care of him, you will sue him when you go back." Amir pretended to be helpless and replied, "Don't forget, this kid is my fiancée's apprentice."

"Hey, hurry up and call off the marriage, it's funny to be controlled by women at a young age!" Gordon obviously knew about the relationship between Amir and Tina, and mocked it jokingly.

Amir didn't answer any more, smiled and waved to Gordon and the others, and led Kiki into their tent.

Kiki was really sleepy, so he took off his coat in threes and then got into the sleeping bag.

Amir didn't leave right away, bent down, sat down next to Kiki, and raised his hand to scratch his black hair, but Kiki, who was trapped impatiently, turned his head away immediately.

Amir leaned down with a smile and whispered in Kiki's ear, "Don't you like Rachel?"

"Of course, she wants to replace Tina as your fiancée!" Keech replied without thinking.

"Heh, you seem to have finally figured it out." Amir simply lay down next to Kiki, supported his head with his arms, and hugged Kiki and the sleeping bag in his arms, "However, do you not like her wanting to replace Tiki? Na, still don't like that she wants to be my fiancee?"

"You're so annoying!" Keech just wanted to sleep at the moment, immediately covered his ears, and muttered, "What's wrong with you, why do women like you? Tina, Rachel, and Sophia town Sandra, now this is Irene, oh, and Avella!"

"Are you jealous?" Amir asked back with a smile, but immediately raised his eyebrows because of the last name, "Avella? Why do you think she also..."

Amir was about to ask Kiki how he felt that Avella liked him too, but Kiki had closed his eyes and completely fell asleep.

— Forget it, the big deal is to stay away from that girl in the future.

Amir shrugged disapprovingly, leaned over and kissed Kiki's cheek lightly, then got up and got out of the tent.
