It was an endless lake, and the lake was filled with white fog. It was a strange water, surrounded by a smell of death.

    In the dim sky, a group of birds suddenly flew not far away. In the middle of the lake, there is a small island exposed to the water, on which there is a dead tree.

    There was a crow with very black feathers on the dead tree, screaming through the fog on the water.

    At the end of the fog is a towering and magnificent waterfall. The water on the waterfall is extremely fast and fierce. On both sides of the waterfall are rocky cliffs. The black crow flew to a cliff with only a line of sky.

    With the continuous flight, the narrow cliff gradually opened, and suddenly a dazzling green light appeared.

    The crow was holding avina with only half of her body in its mouth, and several maggots were wriggling in avina''s eyes.

    "No!" I screamed and got up from the bed with a cold sweat on my forehead.

    It turned out to be another nightmare. Since I finished the last entrustment to cooperate with the iron wolf mercenary regiment and returned to the Bauhinia manor, I always had nightmares about avina.

    It''s not the first time I''ve seen the scene in my dream, but I still wake up every time.

    It was already early morning, and it would be light in a few hours.

    I put on my clothes and lit the oil lamp. I don''t know why. Recently, I''m always nervous and afraid of something wrong with avina.

    Since the last mission came back, several of us have got a rare holiday. No more tasks and battles, my body relaxed a lot.

    During this time, I practiced my swordsmanship more diligently, and I wanted to become stronger, so as to protect the people I love and the people who love me.

    Not only that, I also understood the dragon magic inherited by the Yan dragon Belgrave to me. The so-called dragon magic is to use its own dragon soul power to release the dragon''s body art and magic.

    The power of the dragon soul can be improved through meditation, but this method is too slow. The quickest way is to kill the dragon, just like killing the sea dragon noguas, and directly seize the power of his dragon soul.

    After being integrated with Belgrave''s dragon soul, I have a lot of knowledge in my mind and know many things I didn''t know before.

    Insomnia, I have nothing to do, picked up a book on the shelf and read it. This book tells the story of the dead.

    There are many theories about the origin of the dead, and there is no unified conclusion so far. However, the book I read called the scourge of the dead mentioned that the earliest dead originated from a curse.

    The undead was originally ruled by the God of death hassendis, but because of a curse, these undead creatures appeared in this world.

    Unknowingly, it was already light. It''s a new day. My vacation is over. I have to go back to the mercenary regiment and start a new job.

    After I got dressed, I took my equipment and came to the demon hunting blade mercenary regiment located in Bauhinia manor.

    Come to the mercenary regiment that I haven''t seen for a long time, everything is so familiar. Familiar faces, familiar voices, familiar friends.

    "Come so early, lark. How was your holiday?" as soon as I entered the manor gate, I saw frant. He greeted me

    "Pretty good, and you?" I asked

    "I''ve been specializing in combat skills these days. I have time to compete with each other."

    "OK, I''ll have a duel when I''m free." I answered him

    "Frant, if you want to compete with me, add me." at this time, rofis came to us. The former famous cingadi pirate leader has officially become a member of our demon hunting blade mercenary regiment.

    "I hear there''s a new mysterious figure in our mercenary regiment," said frant

    "What mysterious person, why haven''t I heard of?" I wondered

    "You don''t know. Since you came back from the orc kingdom last time, a mysterious goblin came to our mercenary regiment and said it was to help us." rofis explained to me

    It turned out that this mysterious goblin is called Piri. His so-called help is to provide us with some rare items, but the premise is that we must exchange what it needs. Goblins are really good at doing business.

    Speaking of Piri, rofis still likes him very much, because the goods of this goblin are indeed among the best. Although the price is not cheap, it is worth a try.

    "Why don''t we take lark to see?" said frant

    In this way, I was led by the two of them to Piri, a goblin merchant. It happened that avina was there, too.

    Avina happily selects her favorite items from Piri''s goods, but when she hears that ugly goblin Piri talking about the price, avina''s eyebrows frown.

    Seeing us coming, avina put down her things and said hello to us.

    "You''re here, too?"

    "Can you come here alone?" said rofis

    "That''s what you call Piri." in order to ease the embarrassment, I immediately led the topic to the mysterious goblin merchant

    After seeing the goods displayed in the commodity cabinet, I really respect this ugly goblin.

    There are all kinds of strange things, even the hair band used by the elf big Druid. Only you can''t think of it. He can''t do it.

    Avina is interested in a necklace worn by the queen. The necklace is very magical and glows white. She doesn''t know what material it is made of.

    Since it''s what avina likes, I''ll buy it whatever I say. I don''t know why. I''ve been worried about avina since I came back from my last mission. My relationship with avina has also become very delicate. We can''t say that we are lovers, but we have eaten forbidden fruits together. Sometimes far, sometimes near, if not at all.

    "What? Fifty Golden Dragon coins?" when I heard the goblin merchant Piri say the price, my mouth couldn''t close.

    You know, 500 Golden Dragon coins can buy the whole Bauhinia manor. It''s too dark.

    Just then Kelvin ran over.

    "So you''re all here. The head is looking for you and asks you to go to his office now." Kelvin gasped

    We followed Kelvin to the office of head heathed, where nataya was talking to heathed.

    Mayfair stood behind the commander and listened attentively to nataya.

    "You''re here. I have something to tell you. Come in," said heathed to us

    What happened next was unexpected to all of us, because the news that heathed told us was too shocking.
