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

"And a soul as pure and kind as Hero-sama must not be tainted by such darkness!"

"Don't worry about it, Nivea."

The old blacksmith frowned and looked at the bald and bearded man, then sighed.

"That kid's mind is tougher than you think. He won't be easily influenced by the outside world!"

"It seems I came at the wrong time..." the bald, bearded man muttered, "I'm just an ordinary explorer, and I've never experienced such a large-scale battle."

"Yes, an ordinary explorer who killed twenty-four flying dragons in the Ten Thousand Dragons Battle."

The old blacksmith rolled his eyes and stood up.

"Let's go. They'll probably be a while. Let me check your equipment first... Look at what you're wearing? A foot cloth?"

"A shroud taken from a dead person." The bald, bearded man shook his head, stood up, and followed the old blacksmith. "I can't just come here without anything on, can I?"

Seeing the two people disappear into the depths of the corridor one after the other, Bai Yu looked worriedly at the door of the chapel not far away, and then heard Nivea say to her with a puffed face.

"Just wait and see, Xiao Baiyu, that guy will come and target you soon!"

"Targeting me?" Bai Yu was a little confused. "I didn't do anything...why?"

"Just wait and see!"

Nivea left a word in a bad mood, flapped her wings and flew into another tunnel.

Bai Yu lowered his eyes, puzzled.

On the other side, Ye Yiyi didn't notice Bai Yu's quiet disappearance at all. He frowned and looked at Alice in front of him, then took a step forward and stood between her and the saint.

"Alice, there's no need to be so aggressive, right?"

"Have it?"

Alice tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

"I'm just expressing my doubts, I don't mean to target anyone."

"Then let me answer your questions." Ye Yiyi said seriously.

"I've seen the Saint praying for the deceased. She's been guarding the tombs well. She's a competent Saint. I don't think you need to question her."

"is it?"

Alice blinked, looked at him, then looked at the slightly stunned saint, and suddenly smiled.

"Since Yi Yi has said so, then I understand."

She walked past Ye Yiyi towards the saint and bowed slightly to her.

"Please forgive my doubts. Actually, before the final battle at the Temple, I had discussed the construction of the Cursed Temple with His Highness the Heavenly Forger.

"It's just that there are some unexpected situations that I didn't expect.

"Since everyone recognizes you, and the King also recognizes you, then I am willing to believe that you will be a diligent Saint."

The saint was silent for a moment, then bowed slightly to Alice.

"I have never forgotten my duties as a saint and a gravekeeper. Please rest assured that I will continue to fulfill my duties conscientiously..."

"That would be the best." Alice curled her lips and turned to look at Ye Yiyi beside her.

"You go out first, I have something to say to the Saint." He looked at the Saint and said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll go get to know the people here first."

Ai Li nodded without hesitation, and her straightforward look stunned Ye Yiyi.

Seeing her walk out of the chapel, he sighed deeply and looked at the saint with her eyes lowered.

"I think she might be jealous of you..." he whispered.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the saint looked up with a hint of confusion in her eyes and looked at Ye Yiyi.

"Vinegar? What is that?"

"Uh..." Ye Yiyi's expression froze.

What does that mean? Is there no vinegar on this bordering side?

"Let me put it another way. Alice might have targeted you like that just now because of me."

"No, hero." The Saint shook her head gently. "She... Alice, is quite right. I wasn't born blind, nor am I an orthodox gravekeeper. It's only natural that I would be questioned."

"I don't agree with your idea!" Ye Yiyi stretched out his hands to hold the saint's slender shoulders, staring into her green eyes and said seriously:

"Who says that gravekeepers have to be blind women? Does background matter more than ability?

"Please remember that it was the Heavenly Forger who chose you. You are recognized by the King. No one has the right to question you except for another King!

"I've seen you praying and mourning for the deceased. No one is more suitable for the role of a saint than you!"

"..."

The saint stared blankly at the serious Ye Yiyi, then suddenly curved her eyes and smiled faintly.

"My dear hero, it is my honor to receive your recognition."

"Oh..." Ye Yiyi loosened his hands and sighed slightly.

"Alice's situation is a bit special. I have to go and keep an eye on her to prevent her from causing any more trouble... I'll come back to you for the upgrade later."

"I understand." The Saint bowed slightly, "No matter when, I will be here, waiting for the hero."

Ye Yi nodded slightly, then walked out of the chapel and looked around, but did not see Alice.

Instead, Bai Yu sat in front of the long table, staring at the table in a daze.

Ye Yiyi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why is Bai Yu the only one here? Where are the others?

"White Feather."

He called Bai Yu by her nickname and sat down on the chair next to her.

"Did Alice come to say hello to you?"

"M…Micaela?"

Bai Yu raised his head and looked at him slightly confusedly.

"Alice...she came to say hello. She went to the Fairy Garden and said she had something to ask the fairies."

Bai Yu answered nonchalantly.

Ye Yiyi frowned when she saw this. "You look like this. Did Alice say something to you?"

Chapter 199: Can you please get out of here, woman? Don’t delay me from collecting everything!

Something seems to be wrong with Bai Yu's condition.

How could that girl, who had a military temperament and was extremely mentally resolute, have such a nonchalant expression?

After all, Alice said something to her, right?

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling speechless.

Sure enough, coming to the Curse Hall with Alice was not a good choice.

But he had no choice in this matter.

Alice is also an unsung hero. She has reasons to come to the Curse Hall both emotionally and logically, and Ye Yiyi has no reason to stop her from coming.

But she is also a troublesome person. As soon as she arrived, she pointed her sword at the saint and started to attack.

Then he made Bai Yu like this, and now he is going to cause trouble for the little goblin.

Come on! Leprechauns just look like girls, they don't have gender!

As for being like a hedgehog, stabbing every woman you see?

Who would believe it when they say it’s not targeted?

"Hey……"

All kinds of emotions surged in his heart, and he felt that reality was difficult and couldn't help sighing.

Bai Yu came back to his senses after hearing this and was about to speak out about his troubles, but when he saw him like this, he was slightly stunned.

"Michaela...what's wrong with you?" She asked softly with concern, "Are you having troubles? If you don't mind, you can tell me.

"If you encounter a formidable foe during your journey, it's okay to summon me directly. My sword has been sharpened and is ready for battle at any time!"

Ye Yiyi looked at Bai Yu, who had a determined expression on his face and was patting his leather breastplate at him, and suddenly felt a little amused.

Shouldn't I be the one to enlighten you? Why did you become the one to enlighten me?

But this feeling of being cared for and being able to rely on like a solid backing moved him so much that he almost burst into tears.

Ah! White Feather! Dependable White Feather! My little...archangel!

He glanced at Bai Yu, who was half a head taller than him after taking off his armor, and quickly changed his name in his mind.

"Thank you for your concern," he said. "Actually, I'm fine. I saw you looked a little absent-minded just now, so I was a little worried about you..."

"So you were worried about me..." Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then said with a hint of apology, "I was just thinking about my memories. Maybe I wasn't paying attention and looked weak. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"No, no, no, there's absolutely no need for you to apologize. After all, you care about me too, so isn't it only natural that I care about you a little bit?"

Ye Yiyi waved repeatedly. Bai Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, and nodded with his lips pursed.

"As for the memory...did Alice tell you something just now? Can you tell me about it?"

"Well, Alice seems to be one of the few people who survived to the end of the war. Plus, she knows much more than I do, so I asked her some questions and got some answers that weren't quite answers." Bai Yu replied.

"Oh, about what?"

"Regarding the Dusgard Guards, which I served in during my lifetime, the Tenth Legion was completely annihilated in the battle between the Lord of Life and Death and the Cursed Legion in Black Oasis."

"Ah, this..." Ye Yiyi's expression froze slightly.

Total annihilation...what a tragic word.

But when Bai Yu said it, she was very calm and didn't show much emotional fluctuation.

But Black Oasis? What is that place?

"Is that when you died on the battlefield?" he asked.

"No, the place where I died in battle was a little further west, outside the Black Oasis, on the border between Darthgard and Leftgard.

"The Deathly Cursed Legion first swept across the entire territory of Leftgard, and then moved eastward to attack Darthgard."

"Levgard, that's Alice's hometown..."

"Yeah." Bai Yu sighed slightly.

"When the Legion of the Damned swept through Leftgard and then invaded Darthgard, she was in Junheim fighting against the army of Chaos and Unstable.

"When the war ended and she returned to her hometown, it had become a dead place."

"Is this what Alice told you?" Ye Yiyi asked.

"Yes, she just mentioned it casually without elaborating...

"Now that I know where the Tenth Legion was destroyed, I plan to go to Black Oasis to take a look after I finish dealing with the Lingering Temple.

"Perhaps there, I can find my lost memories."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and asked, "What is the Black Oasis?"

"I heard from locals on the eastern border that it's now called the Black Desert, a desolate and dead place."

"Black Desert..."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

He remembered that the Shadow Key corresponding to the [Dathgard Radiance Key] was located in the Ulman Mine in the Black Desert.

That is the important key that can open the secret passage of hell and lead to the foundry in the underground world. It is also one of his must-go destinations.

"I'm also very interested in Black Desert. Remember to call me when the time comes." He said to Bai Yu.
