A foreigner's journey

Faced with Heather's shameless act of asking for the Water Summoning Sword, the Skeleton Knight did not taunt him, but remained silent for a moment before saying:

"...I'm sorry, challenger. I can't give this water-calling sword away until it completes its mission."

In order to kill the Hand of God and kill Archangel Potter, the Skeleton Knight sacrificed everything he had to create this water-calling sword. He will never give up the water-calling sword until Archangel Potter dies.

"Oh, it seems that what I said has caused you some misunderstanding. So let's reorganize the language."

Heather cleared her throat and looked at the Skeleton Knight very seriously instead of her usual joking expression:

"Overlord of the Millennium Empire, make an unbreakable contract with me. If I help you slay the hands of five gods and let Archangel Porter die in front of you, then you must hand over this water-calling sword. How about giving it to me?"

"...Can you really do it?" The Skeleton Knight gently stroked the hilt of the water-calling sword on his waist, and looked at Heather with the ghostly fire in his eyes.

"If I want it, I can do it."

Heather's answer was decisive.

Flora looked at the Skeleton Knight worriedly. She knew very well how precious her old friend had lost in order to forge the Water-Calling Sword. For him, the Water-Calling Sword was not only a magical weapon, but also a spiritual weapon. Thinking of this, Flora couldn't help but persuade her: "Old friend, you..."

"Haha! Hahaha! What's wrong with this?"

The Skeleton Knight suddenly let out bursts of deep laughter, and suddenly raised his hand to point at Heather:

"Okay! I will make a contract with you. If you can really kill the five gods in front of me, you can take everything I have! That Berserker Armor will be paid to you in advance The deposit, challenger, let me see your god-killing feat in four years!"

Heather held the hand extended by the Skeleton Knight. The human palm collided with the silver-white gauntlet, and an oath and contract were secretly concluded.

The biggest purpose of Heather's trip has been achieved, so naturally she doesn't want to stay here for a long time, and greets Rong Qishi to prepare to leave the Spirit Tree Hall.

Before leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Flora: "Oh, I almost forgot, there is something else."

"Please tell me."

"I need you to contact Hanabuki Snow King. The power of Fairy Island may be able to disrupt the Hand of God in four years."

"No problem, do you need me to introduce you? The way to enter Fairy Island is different from ordinary islands."

"No, I'm not very fond of creatures like goblins. When you meet a goblin that likes to play tricks on people, you will inevitably have some violent thoughts. If a fight comes, it will destroy our alliance. I'd better ask you to convey this on my behalf."

"Okay, please feel free to leave it to me."

"Then, let's meet again in four years when the Eclipse comes, dear allies."

After saying that, Heather and Rong Qishi opened the door and left the Spirit Tree Hall.

Standing in front of the window sill, watching the two people gradually disappearing into the jungle, Flora sighed softly and turned to look at the skeleton knight beside her: "My old friend, you trust this young man very much. Could it be that this Is it also the thread of cause and effect?”

"...No, I can't see any trace of intertwined cause and effect in these two people. That's why I'm willing to take a gamble and hand over the Berserker Armor to them."

The Skeleton Knight held his fingers on the balcony railing and unconsciously exerted a slight force, causing the wooden railing to crackle:

"A thousand years is really too long, and I, the dead soul, will soon disappear in the long river of time. Flora, my old friend, the Eclipse in four years will be my final battle."

"In that case, of course I will accompany you until the end." Flora looked at the Skeleton Knight tenderly and smiled.

"you……"

"Anyway, there are only a few years until my old bone is about to die, so why not give it a try with you and Mr. Heather. If successful, Shirji can live happily in a normal world, and Not the 'Dark Ages' recorded in the Book of Revelation."

The skeleton knight was silent for a while and looked at the sky in the distance: "Thank you, my friend."

Flora smiled and shook her head, also casting her gaze into the distance.

…………………………

Heather soon walked out of the forest and returned to the world.

"Lord Heather, we have accomplished more than half of our goals this time. I'm very happy to celebrate you." In front of the bonfire in my heart, the voice of Xuan Qishi sounded.

"There's no need to be sarcastic, I don't plan to get the Water Calling Sword now. It's better to leave that kind of thing to the Skeleton Knight at this stage. In the Battle of Eclipse four years later, he will be one of our side." What about combat power? Think about it, the T2 level combat power is comparable to the deified Sephiroth or LANCER Karna. It can hold back the hands of one or two gods for me at critical moments, so I can feel more relaxed."

"Fighting five God's Hands at the same time can't let them run away. Even you feel the pressure?"

"Nonsense, this is an S-level mission. You must know that in such a long journey as an outsider, I have only seen one S-level mission that has not been completed. This time, I must hold on to whatever I say. And this time I come to the Spirit Tree Pavilion. All the goals have been achieved, and I have also concluded an alliance with the Overlord. As long as the S-level mission is completed, it means that the water-calling sword belongs to me."

"Have you never thought about snatching the water-calling sword?"

"Who do you think I am? I won't go for robbery, that would be too tasteless. Besides, the [Mythical Weapons Catalog] cannot recast weapons that have not been owned."

"...What are your plans next?"

"I need to gather my strength."

"Gathering strength?"

"That's right."

Heather's figure appeared outside the forest, bathed in the early winter sunshine again. He raised his head and squinted his eyes to enjoy the warm sunshine, and said in his heart:

"The Noble Phantasm transferred to me by Karna, the son of the Sun God, not only gave me the power to use heat vision, but most importantly, it opened up a new energy source for me, which is the 'sun'. As long as I bathe in the sun, I can Gradually accumulating the power of the Sun God in my body, I use this to continuously strengthen and replenish the power of heat vision. Think about it, the energy accumulated for four years exploded in the moment of eclipse. I can't wait to see those five unlucky guys. The shocked face."

"Understood, I will handle your worldly affairs as your agent."

"That's what I mean, but I still have something to do before that."

Heather identified the direction, took long strides towards the east road, and said to Rong Qishi from the bottom of her heart:

"I want to complete the A-level mission of [God's Natural Enemy]."

Rong Qishi was a little strange: "Huh? Didn't you say that the gods in this world are very powerful and live in seclusion in the deepest part of the Netherworld? Don't forget, you don't have the ability to sneak into the Netherworld."

Heather smiled when she heard this:

"By coincidence, I happen to know that there is a place in this world where the incarnation of God is hidden. The intensity is just right for me to complete the task."
