This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Alice chuckled, and the light of the melting sword in her hand gradually dimmed and went out.

"Take Nakua away. I will report this to the National Religious Council soon!"

The cardinal waved his hand, and the Fire Crown Knight who was holding Nakua hesitated for a moment, then obeyed the cardinal's order and took the man in white away.

"Murderers! Murderers! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Nakuya's staff was confiscated, and when he was taken away by the Fire Crown Knight, he stared at Ye Yiyi and others with bloodshot eyes and roared loudly.

Ye Yiyi looked at his back and sneered in her heart.

This man looked like he wanted to kill them. If they let him live, who knows how much trouble he would cause them in the future.

"Just let you live a little longer..." he thought to himself.

"So, this matter has been finalized, right?" Alice looked at the bishop and asked softly.

"Of course. Anyway, thank you both for coming to help..."

The bishop looked hesitant and suddenly said, "But that key..."

"Any questions?"

"This tower now belongs to Fort Lupe. In other words, it's the private property of the owner of Fort Lupe... I mean, could you two hand over the key to the monastery for safekeeping?"

"Ha~"

Alice chuckled again, and the melting sword in her hand ignited red light again.

"You have the guts to ask us for it, but aren't you afraid that those black-robed men will come to your door in the middle of the night and talk to you?"

Ye Yiyi smiled, feeling that the bishop was very humorous.

"It's true that we didn't kill the lord, but his death was so strange. Who do you think is most likely to have done it?"

"Having said that..."

The bishop swallowed his saliva, feeling the terrifying heat coming from the molten sword, and still insisted:

"But as long as this tower exists, it will continue to drain the life force from the earth!

"How can we rest in peace if we don't destroy it?"

"Oh? Is that why you're here too?"

Alice extinguished the melting sword with a half-smile.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you wanted to continue draining the vitality we had so hard to dispel so you could do something shameful."

"How dare I have such thoughts..."

The bishop seemed to understand something and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because of this devastating bomb hidden beneath Fort Lupe, both the Knights and the Monastery suffered heavy losses!

"The outpost we built in the rainforest was destroyed by an unknown force, and the many knights who went to seek a solution were killed..."

When the bishop said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

“So many young men were killed in that man-eating rainforest, leaving behind countless orphans and widows.

"As the bishop of a district, I am helpless. Otherwise, why would the lord exclude us from handling the ruins?!"

Looking at the old bishop who seemed to be expressing his true feelings and with tears streaming down his face, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel the same and felt sympathy.

Back then, she had tried hard to solve the problem of the Cursed Tower, but she could only watch her comrades die one after another in front of her, and she could do nothing.

She was about to speak to comfort him, but was stopped by the bearded man.

The bearded man cast an inexplicable glance at her from under his helmet and shook his head slightly.

Bai Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little strange, but followed his advice and said nothing.

"Alas, I can understand your pain and powerlessness."

Ye Yiyi sighed softly, “However, destroying the Cursed Death Tower is by no means a simple matter. If you are not careful, it will cause a horrific disaster.

"But fortunately, the one beside me is very experienced in this matter, so you don't have to worry. We will stay in the castle for many days until there are no more troubles left and the Cursed Death Tower is completely destroyed."

The bishop was overjoyed when he heard this and could not help but bow to express his gratitude.

"Thank you both very much!"

"You're welcome." Ye Yiyi smiled.

…………

By the time we came out of the Cursed Tower, it was already midnight.

In the castle, the bishop arranged a room with its own bathroom for Ye Yiyi and Alice to rest.

What surprised Ye Yiyi was that this bathroom actually had a bathtub and running water!

"This should be equipment bought from the Empire, right? Come to think of it, that Nakua seems to be a magician."

He soaked in the warm water bathtub and felt completely relaxed.

After traveling all day and fighting with a flying dragon warrior at night, a normal person would have died of exhaustion long ago.

I don’t know if it’s because of the vitality, but now he is not only not tired, but even very excited!

He looked down at Optimus Prime in the bathtub and fell into deep thought.

"I think... I've come all the way from the tower to here?"

No wonder when Bai Yu was being sent back, the female knight stared at his lower body with horror.

"It's been so long, it won't become necrotic, right?"

But the biggest problem is how to change this thing back.

"Damn it! Shouldn't I have to keep fighting with this thing on my head?"

He muttered softly, got out of the bathtub, wiped himself, and walked out of the bathroom naked again, preparing to change into looser clothes and go to Alice to ask what to do.

"So Yi Yi likes to let herself go when she's alone?"

Just as he closed the bathroom door, a sudden voice suddenly reached his ears.

"???"

Ye Yiyi turned around blankly, only to find that the girl, who had taken off her windbreaker and put on a silk nightgown, was sitting at the small table next to the big bed, squinting at him.

She curled the corners of her mouth and raised the translucent goblet filled with light yellow wine towards the embarrassed boy.

"Want to have a drink?"

Chapter 216 The Long Night (Two in One)

"Want to have a drink?"

"what?"

Ye Yiyi had a dull expression and empty eyes.

Why is Alice in my room?

If I remember correctly, I have locked the bedroom door, right?

He looked blankly at the gate not far away, but where the door should have been, he saw a rough white stone wall.

It is made of exactly the same material as the milky white marble used for the walls of the room.

But the difference is that there is no nanmu wall border for decoration.

Seeing this, Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched.

It seems that the gate has fulfilled its duty as a gate.

However, it was facing a powerful man who mastered the magic of nature and could build a wall on the spot.

Ye Yiyi thought that the Tiangong technique was very convenient. As long as there were materials, it could be made anywhere.

Someone as gifted as Alice is a natural born Ash-Beater... Ugh! I mean Ash-Beater Lady.

"Don't look anymore. I sealed that door."

Alice leaned back on a brown leather-covered bench, swaying the goblet in her hand slightly. In the dim light of the lamp, her cheeks seemed to be coated with a layer of light golden gauze.

"Are you really not going to come and sit down?"

Her dark eyes were fixed on the bubbling light yellow wine in the glass, and she seemed a little absent-minded when she spoke.

The door is sealed to me, your invitation sounds a bit too strong.

Ye Yiyi remained silent.

It was as if if I didn’t agree, I would never live to see the sunrise tomorrow morning.

"I'm going to put on some clothes..."

He muttered softly and went into the bathroom.

"I'll give you three minutes~"

Alice's light voice was like a flickering candlelight...

"If you don't come out in three minutes, I'll come in and help you put it on."

...It could turn into a raging fire at any time!

Ye Yiyi's movement to open the bathroom door suddenly froze, and her body shuddered violently.

"I'm not a three-year-old child..."

He muttered softly, threw himself into the bathroom, and then closed the door tightly!

"Gonna die! Gonna die!"

He covered his face in horror, the fear in his heart was almost unspeakable.

The doors are blocked!

This woman didn't sleep late at night, ran to his room in such a thin nightgown, and even invited him to drink!

What kind of wine do single men and women drink late at night?

How could I not know what kind of wine is in your glass!

"What should I do now? Escape?"

He paced anxiously in the bathroom, feeling nervous and conflicted, and even having a strange sense of guilt!

The Saint is clearly still waiting in the Cursed Hall for her hero to return safely!

But the hero is now trapped in the bathroom by another scary bitch!

Not only did she seal the door, she might have sealed the windows as well!

Even the dung beetle that had been in the room before but now disappeared might have fallen victim to her murder!

"One more minute~"

Suddenly, a voice like a death warrant came from outside the door.

Ye Yiyi stared at the "Returning to the Roots Fallen Leaves" in his hand for a long time, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Finally, he slumped his cheeks, let out a long sigh, and gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

Although running away is easy, it doesn't solve the problem.

Besides, considering Alice's current condition, if he really escaped, she might turn evil on the spot and shoot up everyone in Lupe Castle.

"Can't escape, can't escape, can't escape!!"

He patted his face, put away the fallen leaves, and took out a loose piece of clothing to put on.

Then at the end of the three-minute countdown, I opened the bathroom door.

"Not bad, not bad. You've mustered up your courage."

Alice curled the corners of her mouth and squinted her eyes as she looked at Ye Yiyi, who looked solemn as if he was going to die, her tone full of praise and encouragement.

The feeling it gives is as subtle as that of a mother bird watching her chick soar in the sky for the first time.

Ye Yiyi's pretended solemn expression collapsed, and he walked over dejectedly and sat down on the bench opposite Alice.
