evening.

"Hey, kid, go pick up some branches and bring them back. Remember, they have to be dry and can burn!" Hope's voice sounded from behind.

"I know, I know!" Art replied loudly.

Then, he took steps and walked towards the forest.

Watching Art's figure gradually disappear, everyone in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group put down their work.

Sheridan looked at the people gathered around him, then turned to Sanger and said: "Captain, shall we start now?"

"Yeah." Sanger, who was leaning on the tree trunk, nodded. At this time, a voice came from above.

As soon as Solly looked up, she saw a crow sitting on the branch, and immediately recognized its identity: "It's that good-for-nothing boy's pet."

"Why is it here?" Hope picked up a stone and threw it. The black crow flew up, escaped the attack, and stopped on another branch not far away. "Damn it, how can it be so flexible?

"

Solly snorted, obviously laughing at him.

"Okay." Sheridan glanced at the black crow doubtfully, feeling that something was not right. However, when he saw that the crow had stopped and was just combing its feathers, he ignored it, "This time we

You need to go through the Forest of Melancholy, and you all know the dangers of the Forest of Melancholy."

He stretched out his hand towards Hope, and Hope took out the map again. However, unlike the place Art saw just now, Sheridan peeled off the piece of fur.

The fur with some thickness shows another pattern after being unfolded.

Sheridan squatted on the ground and pointed to the pattern on the fur: "This thing is our purpose this time."

"We have eliminated several places marked above, and now only the last two places are left, the Forest of Melancholy and the Forest of Glora." Sheridan moved his finger and pointed at a few inconspicuous places on the map.

, small black spots that look like dirt.

"How can we enter the Glora Forest?" Solly shrugged, "That is a place that even the Apocalypse would not dare to enter at will."

After experiencing the low position, the middle position, and the high position, it is the stage of the apocalypse, which the noble wizards call the "formal" rank.

The title "Apocalypse" comes from the church, such as Knights of Apocalypse and Bishop of Apocalypse.

Compared with the extremely mundane prefix of "formal", professionals are more willing to accept the fancy and nice-sounding "apocalypse".

"Yeah, it's a dangerous place. Ten years ago, a large foreign mercenary group broke into the Glora Forest. In the end, only one person came out, and he died within two days." Hope did the same.

He shook his body and said, "I would rather give up than enter the Glora Forest. I still want to sleep with Di Keli a few more times."

"Forget about that wandering warbler." Solly glanced at him with disgust, "It's really disgusting."

"How could an ugly guy like you know about Di Keli..."

"That's enough!" Sanger's deep voice sounded.

"Okay, it's up to you." Hope shrugged, Solly stopped talking, and Nortonk, who was next to him, laughed silently when he saw the two people's reactions.

Thorndike, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Sheridan, are you sure that thing really exists?"

They have spent a year and a half running around for this thing.

"I'm sure!" Sheridan raised his right hand with a serious look on his face, "This is the information I took out from that noble's mouth. I tortured it for ten days! It took ten days to take out this information. You have to know, how to deal with a

How dangerous a wizard can be, even if he is just a lowly apprentice."

"Maybe he cheated on you?" Solly curled her lips, "You have to know, in order to make him lose his guard, I slept with him, and he told me a lot of lies."

Hearing her words, Sheridan looked a little unhappy: "After he opened his mouth, I have been torturing him, and the several answers I got after that were about the same information..."

The implication is that the authenticity is still relatively high.

Hope looked around: "What if I don't find it this time? I don't really want to go to the Glora Forest, right? Then I won't go."

"If it doesn't work this time, then spread the news." After so many failures, Sheridan was a little unsure, "This is the last time, the last time."

"Okay, if you can really become a transcendent." After seeing Hope nod, Sheridan looked at the others.

Others didn't have any opinions.

"Extraordinary" is an absolute temptation.

These professionals are also extremely powerful in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, they themselves also know very well that they cannot compare with extraordinary people simply by exercising their own strength.

Maybe they have superb swordsmanship, but... what about the other party who has superb swordsmanship and possesses extraordinary power?

Maybe they have extraordinary archery skills, but... what if the other party does the same and can shoot arrows with extraordinary power?

Two years ago, Hope overheard news about the "treasure" from a failed little nobleman who was kicked out of his throne.

In order to confirm the news, not only did Solly sleep with the nobleman for several months and gain his trust, they also paid a lot of money in other places.

By accident, their plan to gather information was leaked by Solly who was talking in her sleep.

Then, the Gray Wolf mercenary group, unwilling to give up the opportunity, chose to kidnap the noble instead of killing him.

After twenty days of torture, the failed nobleman revealed all the information, and was then buried in a corner.

From then on, they started looking for places according to the map.

"Sheridan, in the past few times, we have sacrificed the flesh and blood of horses and other low-level monsters. How about sacrificing humans this time? Just use that boy."

Sheridan narrowed his eyes: "Okay, it's the last time anyway, so play it big."

"Then it's determined?" Hope frowned. They were not good people, and they didn't have much regard for human life.

"That's right." Sheridan spread his hands, "Although we didn't get the results in the past few times, you all know what that thing is. It is definitely a devil or a devil's sacrifice ritual. Through the sacrifice

Humans can also sacrifice in exchange for strength, right? Like the guy with the black bird, I think he is a good material."

Looking at the silent crowd, Sheridan decided to add another fire: "What are you still hesitating about? Apart from this method, do you have other ways to become extraordinary? The Holy See? Those guys don't regard us as

The purification of demons and demons is already good. We have been avoiding places with churches. Wizards? Experimental subjects? If you want to become something like a bloated boar with pus all over your body, I have no objection.

"

Solly next to her said: "How do you know that you won't turn into a monster if you exchange power from the devil?"

"Do you have any other methods!?" Sheridan yelled unhappily, "As for transforming into an immutable monster, haven't we ever met demon sorcerers? Apart from their bad tempers, what do they look like like monsters? As for how they look like monsters?

Devil warlocks? Those guys are all handsome and beautiful! Just like those wizards!"

The sorcerers who use demonic power are violent, impulsive, and unruly, but other than that, there is no change in appearance.

The sorcerers who use the power of the devil are all cunning and sinister, but in appearance they are handsome and beautiful.

Compared with warlocks, the blue-blooded nobles who control the power of wizards are also beautiful and handsome in appearance. The more powerful they are, the more so. People who don't like nobles secretly call them "blue-blooded devils".

However, they are not real demonic forces.

The reason is-the Holy See.

The "Power of Holy Light" of the Holy See has powerful lethality against demons and demons. For demon warlocks and devil warlocks, they will suffer if they are exposed to the holy light.

Wizards are different. They will not feel any pain at all when exposed to the power of holy light. Some wizards can even master the power of light.

The Holy See calls these wizards who master the power of light "the lost" and says that they should have thrown themselves into the embrace of the Holy Light.

People's reverence for royal power is similar to that of divine power. The nobles have substantial power over the people, while the Holy See occupies half of the spiritual rule. People believe more in the words of the Holy See.

After hearing Sheridan's words, everyone was silent. These professionals, before starting to train themselves, had approached the Holy See and tried to become priests or knights. However, they did not have the qualifications and could not enter the Holy See at all.

If this were not the case, they would not rely on physical and technical training to become professionals in this way.

Extraordinary professionals and ordinary professionals are two completely different concepts.

Now, even if they go to the Holy See, they still cannot become knights, let alone priests. They have tried to contact demons and devils, and the only result is to be "purified".

As for the wizard?

It is true that some people will seek refuge with wizards, but most of them will disappear in the end, or become monsters after the wizards' experiments, and can no longer appear in this world openly.

Those who did not become monsters mostly had various physical problems and died within a few years.

Compared with the result of taking refuge in a wizard, a deal with the devil is better.

If we were to rank them in the minds of ordinary professionals, they would basically be——

First: Become a member of the Holy See and become a natural transcendent

Second: Deal with the Devil, the Devil

Third: Ordinary professionals

Fourth: Take refuge in the wizard

Hope muttered a few words: "Okay, let's try it once... What a pity, I originally wanted to make some money from that kid..."

"There will be many opportunities to make money in the future." Sanger glanced at him and looked at Sheridan, "This is the last, last chance."

Then, he looked around at everyone: "No one has any objections, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, but in the end no one spoke.

"Then I agree." Sanger nodded and made a decision, "Sheridan, I will leave it to you after I find the destination as before."

"Okay." Sheridan nodded, and then he looked at Solly and Hope, "Don't mess with that kid again before you find the place. Don't let him run away."

"Hey..." Solly turned her head, a little unhappy, but she didn't refute. It seemed that she agreed.

"Okay~ I will take good care of him." Hope nodded playfully.
