I really only stop

The time stop in the maze will not affect the outside world, in other words, it will not affect the speed at which the world sharpens its knives.

The countdown panel in the maze was very normal before, but as soon as I stepped out of the maze, the system popped up a 'data update' panel, refreshed it, and the countdown that was originally good was instantly lost by several hours.

Fortunately, I knew this time in advance.If only a few hours are left in the erasure countdown itself, if I foolishly stop and come out of the maze——

[If I kill you, I will give you all the ashes. 】

——Recalling the email from the world, Lucy trembled slightly.

"Ah, Mr. Lucy!"

As soon as the group of four stepped into the gate of the guild, Miss OL excitedly waved at Lu Xi:

"About the stronghold you need, here are the qualified ones. Would you like to visit now or tomorrow?"

"So fast?"

Lu Xi was slightly taken aback.

As expected of the Adventurer's Guild, the efficiency and quality of this work is completely unmatched by the kind of real estate agents on earth who keep procrastinating.

As for when to go to see the room...

Recalling Nana's "House of Horror" and Zorika's "Never let me sleep all night", Lucy and Yushia subconsciously looked at each other and said in unison:

"Let's go see it now! We are in a hurry!" X2

"Yes, is that so?"

Oppressed by the inexplicable aura of the two of them for a while, Ms. OL reluctantly showed a smile:

"Then, please come with me."

--------

"Wow! What a big house!"

Staring blankly at the huge building in front of her in silence for a long time, Zelika exclaimed as if waking up from a dream:

"The courtyard... No! This place is definitely the [Castle]! It is the [Supreme Throne] that I, the Supreme Being, has been bound to forge since my previous life!"

"Don't just give buildings weird names."

Lu Xi rolled his eyes, and knocked on Zorika's head casually: "Also, it's nothing more than your fate with the dragon, the devil, etc., what kind of fate did you have with a house?"

"Puff puff~ No matter what~ This manor will be called [Supreme Throne] from now on~ Feel honored! I will personally write a plaque for it!"

"You bastard!!!"

Looking at the two pinched in the blink of an eye, Miss OL twitched her mouth and turned to look at Nana and Yuxia:

"...Well, shall we continue the introduction?"

"Miss OL doesn't need to care about the two of them, just tell us the specific situation."

Yuxia smiled warmly, turned to Nana and asked, "What does Nana think of this manor? Do you still like it?"

"Hmm! I've never seen such a big manor!"

Nana's mood was obviously higher than usual, she nodded vigorously: "I can't find any faults at all, the small garden and art fountain in the front yard are very exquisite! I personally like it very much~"

"Because this is a place specially designed by famous masters for wealthy adventurers to enjoy their old age."

Miss OL nodded with a smile: "However, this master architect obviously overlooked a problem: In order to pursue the safety of users, he deliberately chose the address in this place far away from the maze and monster gathering place, and there is not even a tavern around. Halfway up the mountain. For adventurers, this kind of 'boring' place is obviously not suitable for them, and for non-adventurers, the price tag here is a bit expensive... Therefore, there will be no one here after it is completed. used."

"That's really a pity."

Yuxia once again looked at the manor in front of her, which looked extremely beautiful under the setting sun, and couldn't help sighing softly:

"It is the luck of this manor to meet a buyer like Lu Xi."

It is difficult for adventurers who seek stability to make big money, and adventurers who seek thrills look down on the seclusion here.

Lu Xi is probably the only adventurer in the world who is able to earn enough money to buy the manor and is willing to live here.

"Yes, so when I heard Mr. Lu Xi's request, I thought of this first."

Miss OL also seemed very happy: "President Fallon and the others have been worrying about who to sell this place to, and this has solved a big problem for them."

"—If that's the case, can the price be a little cheaper?"

Suppressing Zelika's restless head with one hand, Lu Xi came over at some point:

"Just now you said that this is a manor that cannot be sold, right? Surely you can't sell it at the original price."

Taking the initiative to expose the points that can be bargained, the OL lady of the guild is really cute and a little too much.

Apparently aware of her mistake, Miss OL lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice:

"I, let me ask the president for you..."

----------

Buying a house with full payment is tough!

Lying comfortably on his big bed, looking at the gorgeous and exquisite ceiling above his head, Lu Xi felt a burst of peace in his heart.

When Ms. OL used some remote communication method to call President Fallon, the other party seemed not very interested.Hearing that it was Lu Xi who wanted to buy the property, Faron didn't hesitate much, and directly offered a considerable discount.And Lu Xi didn't intend to bargain any more, and the two parties handed over the relevant procedures in a simple and clear manner.

Surprisingly, after moving in, Nana, who gave the impression of being very introverted, took the initiative to assign housework.Under Nana's arrangement, she is in charge of cooking every day, and Yushia is in charge of cleaning the room with the cool magic of light effects. As for Selika...

This guy doesn't know anything, so let her wash the dishes.

According to Nana, the reason for the distribution of housework in this way is 'Since Lucy paid for the purchase of the manor, we have to do more things within our capacity! '

Although the interest in dolls is a bit scary, Nana is really a serious and kind girl~

Smiling lightly, feeling the reassuring touch of the high-grade down pillow behind his head, the world before Lu Xi's eyes became blurred unknowingly.

Thinking about it this way, how long has it been since I had a good night's sleep?

Most of the times when I stopped were during the day, and the sun was so hot that I could only make do with a pitiful black cloth.Later, when I arrived at Nana's house, I didn't sleep well at all surrounded by the creepy dolls.

So, right here, let's have a good night's sleep after a long absence.

good night.

--------

What Lu Xi, who was in a deep sleep, didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the door of his room was quietly opened a small crack, and a petite figure slowly moved in, and fell on his side, adjusting his position. In a comfortable position, after embracing one of Lu Xi's arms, the petite figure fell asleep carelessly.The room fell silent again.

Soon after, the system automatically popped up a panel:

[Ding~ You have been invited by Tiamat, the 'Dragon of Destruction'. 】

【accept? 】

PS: I have predicted your next sentence!

PS2: Daga——

Chapter 40 Bones, Will-o'-the-wisps, and Dragons

“[Son of man, wake up.]”

"...Woo, don't make trouble."

Lu Xi, who was sleeping soundly, turned over and waved his hand as if to repel flies: "Let me sleep for another 5 minutes."

“[Son of man, wake up.]”

Lu Xi frowned, but still did not open his eyes: "Just 5 minutes, really just sleep for another 5 minutes."

“[Son of man, wake up.]”

ah ah!It's annoying!

Lu Xi reached out his hand impatiently to activate the time-stop ability, and the annoying spirit who had been nagging in his ear from the beginning finally quieted down.

Phew, it's clean now.

Lu Xi's frowning finally calmed down.He breathed out comfortably, the feeling of laziness that grew from the bottom of his heart made him unable to even raise the strength to close his eyes.

Then, just as we said earlier——

Let me sleep for another 5 minutes.

-

"...So, where the hell am I now?"

Glancing at the pajamas he was wearing, Lu Xi, who had fully slept and woke up, looked at the surrounding environment with a serious face.

This seems to be an island suspended in mid-air, and I am currently on the edge of it.

Behind is the endless abyss.Looking at it at a glance, it seems that even the light cannot escape its depth, and all you can see is pitch black, and you don't even know if there is a bottom.It is not bad to jump down and fall directly to death, but if it is really a bottomless abyss, it would be too uncomfortable to starve to death in mid-air or be scalded to death by air friction.

Without the courage to jump down and try to wake up from the dream, Lu Xi looked forward.

In front of him was a flat road paved with dense white bones, which spread forward and upward until it disappeared into a thick gray mist.

On both sides of the road paved with white bones, there is a huge stone pillar standing there every few steps.If you look closely, you can see that the carvings on each stone pillar are surprisingly consistent: a dragon covered in black flames wraps around the stone pillar in pain, and a bright sword is nailed to its head, making it unable to move. a cent.The most intuitive feeling of the whole sculpture is fear, but there is also an inexplicable evil beauty.

ah?Don't know what evil beauty is?

You go to the website that starts with the word p and search for the related quilt king, and compare the number of related products with Heidaimao.

Men like blackening.jpg

Back to the topic, it seems that this matter is not so simple.

Not thinking that his brain would make up such things for no reason at all, Lu Xi shook his head, throwing aside the naive idea of ​​"this is just a dream".

By the way, the system!

Suddenly remembering that he was carrying such a plug-in besides Time Stop, Lu Xi hurriedly looked around, and finally found a system panel that was stuck in mid-air by Time Stop at the place where he woke up:

[Ding~ You have been invited by Tiamat, the 'Dragon of Destruction'. 】

"Tiamat? Remember seeing this name last time?"

After looking at the panel over and over again, Lu Xi finally remembered some clues:

"At that time, this message only appeared for a moment, and then the system explained that it might be a bug caused by abnormal data, and I didn't care. However, since this message appeared in front of me now, and I am currently in such a In a delicate environment, then..."

Looking up at the pillar carved with dragons beside him, Lu Xi frowned slightly.

Dragon, Dragon of Destroyer, 【Tiamat】.

It is this existence named Tiamat who used unknown means to bring me here, it should not be wrong.

Thinking back to the phrase "【Son of man, wake up.】" that he heard in a daze, Lu Xi felt chills in his body.

I was caught here in a daze, and faced with an existence that sounded very daunting, how could I still say "sleep for another 5 minutes" carelessly? !I won't be infected with the idiot attribute by Zerika, right?

Fortunately, [Time Stop] was activated almost unconsciously in the end, otherwise I would be messed up by that Tiamat now without knowing what to do.

Well, try to stay away from the idiot Zorika in the future.

As for now...

Looking up at the road of bones that spread into the gray mist, giving people an inexplicable sense of despair and oppression, Lu Xi made an estimate and muttered to himself:

"The only way to go is to climb up."

-

The more he went up, the more strange things seemed to Lu Xi.

In addition to the evil stone pillars that continue to spread along the road, on both sides of the Road of Bones, from time to time, faint blue flames can be seen hidden in the vast gray fog.

Relying on the time-stop ability to still activate normally, Lu Xi caught a faint blue fire light that was relatively close to the road, and approached it cautiously——

"I'm going! Will-o'-the-wisps!!!"

——Afterwards, he was suddenly taken aback by it.

The main body of the fire is a shining crystal skull for some reason.Just looking at it from a distance makes people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's over, it's more and more like the routine of fighting the final boss."

Afraid that he would lose his way in the gray fog for the rest of his life, Lu Xi didn't dare to go out much, and immediately returned to the Road of Bones:

"Look at the atmosphere, look at the force, look at the title [Dragon of Destruction]! It's the Road of Bones and a skull. Who would believe that Tiamat is not a boss?"
