Chapter 218 My name is Sa-Sous
"Leader, Green Cliff said he had found that thing..."
"Oh? Where?"
When Yue Yulou had just sealed the last passage, Qian Liuyun on the side suddenly came over and told Yue Yulou about the discovery of Green Cliff. He immediately led everyone to the direction reported by Green Cliff. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at a place full of tombstones in the northwest corner of the city. It was supposed to be a cemetery for snakes, and Green Cliff was standing next to a large pit and looking down...
"Is Green Cliff this place?"
When Yue Yulou really walked to the big pit, he found that the pit was much larger than he thought. The whole pit was about twenty meters long and was pitch black below, which seemed very deep. And there were also a strong blue-gray dead air gushing out of the pit. Many ordinary players could not connect to it...
"Well... According to the concentration of the dead energy, except for the [Dead Soul Well], it is hard for me to imagine that there is anything else that can have such a huge dead energy..."
Yue Yulou nodded in agreement. [Dead Soul Well] is a building unique to Helesh Cemetery. It is an important hub for providing energy for a city. It is a bit similar to the [magic furnace] of the Silver Federation. However, in addition to providing the city with corresponding energy, it can also balance the concentration of the [dead spirit] in the entire city... For many undead mages who are useless to [reincarnate], too strong [dead spirit] still has certain damage, but many low-level undead creatures cannot move in places with thin dead spirit for a long time, so they need [Dead Soul Well] to adjust the [dead spirit] in the city to reach a relative balance value.
"Leader, I personally think... there must be a large number of corpses under this place, otherwise it would be difficult to have such a strong dead aura in the land of the Dark Dragon."
"Well... you are right. Snake men are a race that advocates the abyss. After they die, they do not bury or cremation, but throw their bodies into the bottomless abyss, because they believe that under the abyss is the world of the dead... Those tombstones are just used to commemorate. Snake men have a long history and a large population, so there will definitely be no fewer corpses under them..."
Sisi...
Suddenly, just as the two were talking, dense sounds of scale friction came from the deep pit, as if countless things were climbing up below. Not long after, dead souls and snakes appeared in Yue Yulou's vision, and they seemed to be dead souls crawling out of the bottomless abyss...
"It seems that the death energy in this city comes from here, and the snake people become dead because of this reason..."
Yue Yulou waved his hand gently to the bottom, and countless earth thorns knocked all the snake people back into the abyss, but the sounds in the deep pit did not decrease, but instead increased. Yue Yulou immediately left this place with everyone. He just wanted to know the source of the dead energy of the city. Since the goal had been achieved, he did not need to stay anymore. However, although this thing was useless to him, it was very useful to Artoria's guild...
"Artolia, this place is full of death, and the soul-returning snake people will flow out continuously. It is a very ideal leveling place. I have already named Zagu to draw a [Light Sun Burning Array] nearby. This array can effectively suppress the strength of the soul-returning snake people. Then, let your subordinates be careful and level up safely..."
After hearing Yue Yulou's words, Artoria immediately nodded gently. Not long after everyone left the city, the first group of [Sunrise and Not Fall] players who entered the passage began to level up hard in the leveling holy place that everyone called "Snake Man Tomb" in the future. This place has also become a major capital for the rise of [Sunrise and Not Fall] again...

The next day, in the game, outside Dunmur
It was still next to the small lake that Artoria brought Yue Yulou to last time, but Artoria was sitting cross-legged on the ground and gently leaning against the big tree behind her. Yue Yulou was standing beside her, with natural smiles on both of them, as if they had just said something interesting...
"Haha, that orc is so edible that he ate a hundred portions of food. I really don't understand where he stuffed all those things... His name is Gamesido, right? With such a follower, aren't you afraid of bankruptcy?"
"You talk about him...hehe, that guy is a human-shaped dragon, and he can't be judged by common sense..."
After accidentally glimpsing the black two-headed demon snake pattern on the back of Yue Yulou's hand, Artoria immediately blinked slightly, and then said in a slightly disappointed tone:
"Safi, why do you want such a pet...Snake...I thought you would have pets like Red Tiger, Sky Eagle, or even Dragon...After all, such pets are in line with the glory of a knight, but it would be great if you used a lion as a pet...I originally wanted a little lion as a pet, but my brother still gave me Tis (the unicorn)..."
After remembering a rumor I had heard before, Yue Yulou immediately smiled slightly, glanced at a lion pendant hanging around Artoria's waist, then touched her chin and joked:
"Well... I remember you really like lions. I originally thought girls would like those cute pets, but I didn't expect you to like lions... The mighty creature is a bit unexpected..."
As soon as he heard Yue Yulou's words, Artoria immediately frowned slightly, bulged her cheeks, "glazed" Yue Yulou with her eyes, and said angrily:
"It is rude to laugh at other people's interests! And the lion did nothing wrong...Difficulty do you really think the lion is not adorable..."
Seeing Artoria's cute expression, Yue Yulou was immediately stunned, then smiled apologetically, squatted down slowly and said softly:
"Haha, of course I don't have that meaning, but when it comes to lions..."
Artoria looked at Yue Yulou in confusion, as if she was expecting his words. After thinking for a while, the other party chuckled:
"…I know there is a kind of flying lion somewhere, and that kind of lion was really cute when I was a kid. Next time I meet, I will bring one for you."
"Really? You can't go back on your word..."
"certainly."
When they said this, they suddenly fell silent together. After a while, Artoria pursed her lips slightly and whispered:
"Are you leaving..."
"Well... I have to leave."
Then the two of them fell silent again, but Yue Yulou then spoke, but he seemed very hesitant and hesitated for a long time before saying with apologies:
"Artolia...I...had accepted Churchill's request before to bring you to the Kingdom of Azc, but...my words were not to deceive you, I really hope to do it with you..."
Artoria smiled slightly, shook her head gently, and said with relief:
"I've actually guessed it long ago... Everyone in the guild has told me what Churchill did later... But I don't blame you, because I believe... you won't deceive me, let alone hurt me..."
Yue Yulou looked at Artorian's clear eyes full of trust, and suddenly felt the urge to hug the other person. He sighed slightly, then slowly stood up and walked to the lakeside. Looking at the still picturesque scenery, he felt that he really had no face to face this girl who trusted him...
"Safi, do you... like me?"
Just as Yue Yulou was calming down, Artoria suddenly walked to his side and said something that caught him off guard. He turned around and looked at the other party's green eyes full of expectations. After a long time of silence, he finally said with confusion:
"I... don't know... I'm completely unable to know what I think in my heart now, but..."
He stared deeply into the other person's eyes, then gently stroked Artorian's golden hair that was slightly messy by the breeze, and his expression seemed a little nostalgic and guilty...
"...I know very well that I care about you, I can't ignore you... You are very important to me. Although I don't know where I will go now... but it won't take long, I will definitely give you an answer..."
Artoria slowly closed her eyes, as if she was enjoying Yue Yulou's touch. After a while, she smiled faintly and slowly opened her eyes...
"Thank you... for allowing me to quietly abandon my self who is impersonal and only retain the real me... Safi... I like you..."
After saying that, Artoria immediately raised her head, looked at Yue Yulou's smiling face, and laughed softly:
"Haha, I have been together for so long, but I don't even know the real name of the person I like... Can I tell me?"
Yue Yulou was silent for a while, then nodded gently, pronounced the name that he had almost forgotten without any hesitation...
"My name is Sasus."
"Sasus... It seems like the name of a Westerner, my real name is Artoria..."
Silence fell between the two again, but this time was short. Yue Yulou looked up at the distant sky, where a huge dark cloud began to slowly float. So he nodded slightly to Artoria, then turned around and left, leaving only the nostalgic gaze of the girl behind him...
………………………………………
"Are you okay?"
As soon as he walked out of the lake, Kakashi leaned against a big tree and threw a golden area into Yue Yulou's hand. There was no pattern on the mask. This mask was a holy weapon dropped by the Snake Man Saint, which could freely change its shape. As soon as the mask landed in Yue Yulou's hand, the patterns on it immediately turned into a strange shape that was half red and half white.
"Um……"
After bringing the mask to his face, Yue Yulou took out the cloak. At this time, the cloak was covered with silver hourglass patterns, and he put the cloak on his body. Yue Yulou took Kakashi and others toward the dark clouds in the sky...
