Empty eyes.

A sad and laughing expression.

Trembling shoulders.

I tried my best to smile, but every part of my body revealed only sadness.

Gray snowflakes fell off the armor, brushed against the cloth wrapped around the face, and lightly hit the half of the intact cheek, soaked with a biting cold.

Smiling.

Sad.

Shattered, helpless and pathetic.

With blurred eyes, she looked at Xu Xi and apologized.

He said that he was too immature. Not only could he not smile and offer his blessings, but he also showed a sad expression, which made it impossible for the two deceased elderly people to rest in peace.

Xu Xi stepped forward.

He reached out and gently brushed away the snowflakes on the girl's body.

"Sylvia, you have done...very well."

"In this world, you are not the only one who can smile at parting and be called strong."

Xu Xi's voice was very soft.

Melting in the snow.

Ordinary words, without much power, yet attract confused people.

Parting is a sad thing.

No matter how you embellish the blessings, you cannot change the nature of the sadness.

Sadness due to separation.

Tears of separation.

These are all perfectly normal behaviors.

Not only those who leave with a smile are considered strong.

Those who face tomorrow with sadness in their hearts are actually just as strong and can even endure more.

"Severia, you have done well enough all along," Xu Xi said softly to the Undead Warrior while standing next to the newly erected tombstone.

It's not just about today.

And the previous ones.

From the pain of ending his parents' lives with his own hands to facing the darkness alone and struggling to survive countless malicious intentions.

The girl has been through so much, too much to count.

She is not a useless fake hero.

He is a brave man who carries countless sorrows but still moves forward with his body covered in wounds, helpless but resolute.

"...Master Wizard, thank you."

Crawfield's emeralds are still sad.

I can't come to terms with the passing of these two elderly people.

But this time, she was not afraid of separation and loneliness like before.

There is a figure beside her, always by her side, blocking the howling wind and snow for her, and walking with her on the road of tomorrow.

"Grandpa Hansen."

"Grandma Mina."

Standing in front of the tombstones of two old people.

Sylvia prayed again.

I hope that the happiness of death can continue into the unknown next life.

After doing this, Sylvia turned and looked at Xu Xi: "Master Wizard, what should we do now?"

The cold wind was blowing fiercely.

Snow and mist rolled in.

Xu Xi stood there, staring at the tombstone quietly for a moment, and finally moved to the dilapidated wooden house not far away: "Help me clean up the house."

The old man is no longer alive.

The door of the house was wide open, crackling and creaking in the wind and snow.

Maybe it won’t take more than a few days.

The door of this house will be torn apart by the cold wind.

Gradually, the whole wooden house rotted and collapsed one day.

Xu Xi knew that this was inevitable, but at least for now, he wanted to keep the wooden house a little longer.

Nothing else.

Simply because the cabin is one of the few things that can prove the Hansens' existence.

"Let's go in, Sylvia."

Xu Xi walked in front.

A magic wand appeared in his hand.

Use basic zero-ring and one-ring magic to perform simple repairs and reinforcements on the house.

"Yes, Master Wizard," the brave man followed behind and also used his own power to reinforce the houses of the two old men.

In this process.

The two also sorted out the old man's belongings.

not much.

A few scattered fruits.

Old clothes full of patches.

A variety of simple homemade furniture.

Xu Xi used the wizard's hand to gather and organize all the items, and put a dust-proof spell on them.

One day, these items will naturally decay over time.

But that was enough.

What the department wants now is just to not be destroyed by the wind and snow.

"..." After doing all this, Xu Xi stood in the house, looked around at the simple decorations and organized items, and nodded slightly.

"It looks like nothing is missing."

"It's time for us to leave, Sylvia."

"Yes, Master Wizard."

Walk out of the house.

Close and reinforce with your own hands.

He took a few steps back to bring more of the cabin into view.

Shabby and ordinary.

Just like what Xu Xi saw when he first arrived at the top of the mountain.

At that time, the two old men looked terrified and kept calling him "Wizard Master".

Xu Xi was once troubled by this.

And now, he no longer needs to worry.

"Farewell, what a heavy word," Xu Xi looked up at the sky. In the dark sky covered by wind and snow, a huge shadow was approaching quickly.

The underworld fire rises.

The wings are wide.

It is a Hellfire Crow that has undergone many modifications and has even greater strength and speed.

It crouched down, its huge body clearing the snow, and waited for Xu Xi to approach.

The world is changing.

It's time to restart the journey.

Xu Xi closed his eyes slightly, quickly gathered his emotions, and walked towards the Hellfire Crow side by side with Sylvia.

Mr. and Mrs. Hansen have reached the end of their lives. The two elderly people passed away happily without any regrets.

corresponding.

There is nothing to worry about in the mountains.

"Next, let's continue to head to the Plateau of the Gods. With the support of the Hellfire Crow's flying speed, we should be able to go much faster than planned."

Xu Xi thought silently in his heart.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Walk to the Hellfire Crow.

Suddenly, there was a slight cracking sound from behind.

“Crack—”

“Crack—”

Like a mixture of ice and frozen soil, it was constantly grabbed by ten fingers and dug upwards tirelessly.

The Xu family is very familiar with this.

Sylvia is more familiar.

That was the sound of the undead moving.

"Undead!?" Xu Xi turned around abruptly, his expression first showing surprise and disbelief, which then gradually turned into suppressed anger.

Farmer Hansen and Farmer Mina.

The souls of the two old men have gone to the underworld.

This is a happy ending.

Live hand in hand till the end, no regrets.

But now, there is a gray and gloomy aura of death that keeps falling from the dark sun above, infecting the corpse of the deceased old man.

Finally.

The old man's body was repeatedly desecrated, turning into a pure monster.

"Servia... beautiful Miss Servia... ah!!"

"Master Wizard... Sylvia!!!"

Occupies the body of the deceased.

Brand new monsters are born from it.

The bloody bone hand broke through the soil of the tomb, with a familiar face that was hideous and twisted, and roared hoarsely at Xu Xi and Sylvia in a blasphemous manner.

"Even if the soul dissipates, the body still cannot rest."

"Is that so..."

"The approach of the underworld and the disintegration of the wizarding world have completely distorted the laws of this world."

Xu Xi raised his head, looked at the cold sky, and slowly turned to the two monsters that crawled out of the tomb.

The winter is so cold.

The anger in my heart was rising and difficult to extinguish.

The deceased.

It should have been a happy farewell to the world.

But right in front of him, his body was being madly desecrated and played with by the world.

Sylvia, who witnessed all of this with her own eyes, had her eyes trembling violently, revealing a deep sadness.

Xu Xi was ready to take action to kill the two monsters born of blasphemy, but Sylvia took the initiative to step forward and drew the knight's sword.

"…Wizard-sama."

"...Please, let me do it."
