The Son of Light of the Snake House

The boat sailed on the deep black water of the lake.

There was no moon tonight, the sky was covered with black clouds, and all the vision was just the candle in Severus' hand.

Regulus was sitting at the front of the boat, which was hardly illuminated by candles, and he was rowing the boat with an oar in his hand, and the boat moved forward steadily.

"Seriously, why do you insist on holding that candle?" Regulus said suddenly, his voice sounded a little weird: "It's too bright, I think, I can hardly see the way."

"Do you need to watch the road when rowing a boat?" Severus' tone was indifferent, and he could not hear any emotion. He moved his feet slightly, feeling a little sticky.

"Of course! You know—I seem to have told you that there is an island in the middle of this lake, and we have to rest on it halfway."

"You didn't say it."

Regulus seemed to look back at him.

"Oh!" he sounded surprised. "I forgot?" he asked.

"Then I must have forgotten to tell you the rules of this lake!"

Severus sat there motionless, the candle in his hand flickering.

"Humans cannot touch the lake water, or they will be taken away by the lake god." Regulus explained, he seemed to be paddling harder, and the sound of the water became much louder.

"Do you know the Great Demon Daniel?" Severus asked abruptly.

"Of course! Of course! My friend." Regulus's hearty laughter came from the bow: "Who doesn't know this demon monarch? Wait, your purpose is..."

"I'm going to beat him," Severus said.

The moment his answer fell to the ground, the whole scene immediately quieted down, even the sound of paddling water disappeared, and then, the lake water boiled.

The lake water was like a pot of soup stirred by a spoon, bubbling and bubbling, Regulus coughed heavily, and everything fell silent again: "Cough, sorry, this is probably because the big guy at the bottom of the lake was killed by a candle. The light is awake, and you really don't think about putting out the candle?"

Severus shook his head slightly, and then heard Regulus say again: "However, I heard you just now...you are going to "challenge" the great demon Daniel? "

"Indeed."

"Oh, brother, I have to say, you'd better get rid of this idea - of course, I don't believe you, you seem to be a very good swordsman - but to defeat that... is there some... Are you overwhelmed?"

Severus nodded: "Thank you for the compliment."

Regulus' body froze for a moment, and before he had time to say anything, he felt the obstacle in front of the boat: "Oh! We have arrived at the island in the middle of the lake!"

"How about getting off the boat and resting, Severus?" Regulus was about to step down: "We still have a magical little basin here to look at. There is infinite water in it, and you can only get it if you drink it into your stomach." The gift from the bottom of the basin, you can try it."

"No need, sir." Severus stood up holding the candle, half of his face was hidden in the darkness: "Since it's not you rowing the boat, you shouldn't be tired, right? We don't need to rest here, I think."

"What are you talking about?" Regulus laughed dryly, "I've been rowing for so long..."

Severus flicked his shoes impatiently, half of the soles were soaked in water.

"Do you want me to say more, Mr. Infernal Corpse?"

"..."

"... When did you find out?" Regulus sat back on the bow again, but he turned to look at Severus.

"At the beginning - tell your people to move, I will not put out this candle." Severus also sat back.

Regulus stretched out his arm and knocked on the side of the boat twice, and the boat swayed and moved. His expression became a little distorted, perhaps because his face was already swollen.

"Isn't my acting pretty good?" he asked.

"Do you mean your oozing skin, or the act of trying to split the bottom of the boat? Or your damp house?"

"That doesn't mean I'm a ghost?"

"That brand."

"what?"

"The name of the lake is carb. It says on the sign that carblouses are pubic lice. You see, the guy who put up the sign is a trick."

"Damn it!" Regulus swelled up, looking as if he had been soaked by the lake. "Damn! Damn! Daniel!"

He looked like he wanted to smash the side of the ship, but he held back. "His candle! His brand! His warrior! Why is his shadow everywhere! He hinders our hunt!"

There was a noise at the bottom of the boat, and countless pale and swollen hands stretched out from the lake, placing the boat on the beach steadily.

"Thank you, friend." Severus stepped down, took two steps, and then turned his head: "There is one thing I forgot to say--Actually, if you weren't too impatient, I wouldn't even know about the flame of this candle." The damage to the corpse is so great."

With a smile on his face, he threw the candle in his hand into the lake, and turned back: "Goodbye, Regulus, as for how I will defeat the great demon Daniel—it's a pity that you won't be able to see it immediately That's all."

Regulus stood on the lake, those pale hands grabbed the soles of his feet and lifted him up. As his body slowly submerged in the lake, his appearance gradually changed back to the first time Severus saw him. to his appearance.

"Goodbye, Severus, if you can really beat him, then I wish I could see that moment."

His head sank out of sight in the lake.

"Sorry, brothers... I'm going to be hungry again."

The lake water rippled, like a vague comforting sound, and then returned to silence.

-----

A long time ago, a young man passed by a lake. When he wanted to cross the lake, an enthusiastic fisherman offered to help him, but on the way to the island in the middle of the lake, the fisherman changed his appearance, with countless arms Turning the boat over, he turned into a corpse.

But the young man spread his bat wings, stared at them condescendingly, and then he said.

"The folk customs are simple, huh?"

"You can't escape! You will be food for me and my brothers!" the fisherman roared, throwing the lake water into the sky.

The young man ignored him: "Since you still don't want to repent, then I will punish you."

"What are you!"

"In the name of the great demon Daniel, I order you:

One, it is impossible to attack a person who is holding a magic candle and is enveloped by the candle's light.

Two, ships cannot be damaged, ships cannot be capsized.

three……"

Daniel chuckled: "I can't attack the brave who came to defeat me."

A magical bondage wraps around each Inferi, tightening the chains.

"Third, why? Why do you let the person who wants to kill you go?" asked the corpse commander.

"Because... living is too troublesome, I long to die." Daniel replied softly.

"Then why don't you commit suicide!"

"Even if you die, you have to leave something for a warrior to make him famous, otherwise it's useless to die." He smiled, flapped his wings, and left the lake: "Goodbye, little ghost."

——Another World Line——

Regulus pretentiously dropped an oar in his hand, pretended to fish it, and plunged headlong into the lake, then he thumped wildly:

"Severus! Severus! Save me! Save me! I accidentally fell—"

Before he finished speaking, Severus fished out another oar from the boat, clenched his hands tightly, his arms tensed, and rowed vigorously, the boat quickly left his side, and left He is getting further and further away.

"—the boat is coming..." Regulus finished repeating blankly, then suddenly reacted, put on a standard freestyle posture, swam vigorously to the direction Severus left, and shouted as he swam:

"Why are you running! Why are you running so fast! Come back to me!!!! I haven't boarded the boat yet!!!!"

"You're going to kill me!" Severus' voice came from afar.

"Damn it!!!!" Regulus slapped the water more vigorously, but he could only see the boat getting smaller and smaller.

"Lake of Corpses"

"Areapass."

The author has something to say:

Daniel: I want to die

Regulus: Then you go to hell

Daniel: No, I have to die for something worthwhile.

Regulus: Then I'll kill you

Daniel: You can't, you're worthless.

Regulus: I'm so sorry!

Severus thought he had guessed correctly why the Inferi didn't attack him, but in fact he guessed wrong, hehehe
