Stories, stories again.

After Chen Senran came to this world, he seemed to often encounter people telling him stories. Usually the person telling the story was the person involved in the story, but he told it as a third party. After the story was told, something very complicated usually happened.

.

This time... I hope it was my illusion. When the little girl in my arms heard the story, she immediately pricked up her ears like a rabbit. So for creatures like women, no matter how scared they were at the moment, curiosity can conquer everything.

of.

"Then Mr. Karl, we are willing to hear the details." Chen Senran smiled and nodded towards Karl. He really wanted to see what kind of medicine this guy who suddenly wanted to tell a story was selling in the gourd.

Karl seemed to smile, but his laughter was quickly swallowed up by the singing sounds around him that had not yet dispersed. He thought for a while while holding the red wine, probably sorting out his thoughts.

"Speaking of this matter..." Karl said, looking at the bonfire swaying under the increasing cold night wind, "This is what I read from an ancient notebook."

The singing sounds all around began to fluctuate, mixed with the night wind, and invaded people's bones through the gaps in the fog, making it very cold.

Karl had to raise his voice a little to avoid being drowned out by the singing around him, but his voice was already so deep that it was even more difficult to distinguish when mixed with the low-pitched singing. He snorted angrily, and the people around him

The singing became surprisingly low, and even the night wind became lighter.

"Mr. Chen Senran, have you probably heard the story about the adventurers who came from this swamp?" Karl nodded with some satisfaction and continued to tell. The low singing continued, but it seemed to be accompaniment to him.

generally.

"Of course, that story is very famous, but it's also surprisingly short, so I don't know much. Could it be that what you want to tell is the complete version of that story?" Chen Senran continued while thinking about Carl's roar just now.

Reminiscent of the previous fog receding incident, the relationship between Carl and this swamp became more and more... consistent.

"Yes, the story I saw was recorded in a dilapidated expedition notebook. It is said that it was a story that was transcribed by a later explorer after he found the diaries of those people during his expedition here." Karl

Continuing to explain, he seemed to be very concerned about the background of this story.

"Really? That must be very exciting." Chen Senran's face showed enough anticipation. The stories of the explorers back then... Could this guy be one of the explorers back then?

Then he has lived long enough. Chen Senran was making wild guesses while analyzing the known information. He smelled of the dead and was related to this swamp. This... it is really difficult to say that he is a

An old monster who has lived for hundreds of years...

"Back then, a series of strange events began to occur in this swamp after it was contaminated by runic energy, which attracted the attention of an explorer at the time, so he gathered a group of like-minded friends from the Explorers Guild to explore here." Carl's

The story finally got to the point, "And the perspective of this story was recorded by a Demacia mage among the people who were summoned."

Demacia Mage...Okay, you must not really tell your story...

"The Demacia mage is called Karsus. He is a good friend of the convener. He specializes in space magic and has unique insights into rune energy, so he was invited to detect the situation in this ghost place. He was also accompanied by his fiancée.

, Elena is also a space mage, they are very loving..."

Carl...Sass...Chen Senran couldn't help but twitch his lips, this feeling...is not good...Also, I have to say that Carl is really not a storyteller. He is obviously talking about adventure, but he

I talked about the love between the mage lovers for a full ten minutes.

"You have a really good memory." Chen Senran couldn't stand the rhythm and couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really not very good at telling stories." Karl probably realized that he was going too far and started to return to the topic, "The first few days were very peaceful. At that time... well, according to the records,

The fog here was not so heavy at that time, and you could see clearly within at least ten yards."

"Karsus' inspection work was carried out in an orderly manner and preliminary analysis was made of some of the causes of the great changes in the swamp. But on the tenth day, an accident happened. By then they had advanced to the center of the swamp, which was already a completely swampy area.

, it should have been a body of water, but in the centermost area, the soil appeared a strange dark black color, very dry, and without any signs of life. The expedition team was very curious about this situation, so they started in the central area

Exploring..." Carl said and stopped here, looking at the bonfire in a daze, not sure if he was reminiscing or something else.

"Mr. Karl..." Chen Senran had to speak again because the little Loli, who was aroused by curiosity, bit him lightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't remember...I was thinking..." Karl said the words he had forgotten, and when he spoke the next sentence, he felt a bit unbearable, "But after searching all day, there is nothing special.

, everyone was a little disappointed, so they decided to take a night’s rest and continue the next day. That night, something unexpected happened..."

"What's the accident?" Seeing that Karl stopped talking again, little Annie raised her head and muttered in a low voice.

"Someone died." Karl's hearing was very good, and he looked at little Annie and gave the answer.

The little girl happened to catch Karl's glance, probably remembering what happened during the day, and quickly buried her head in Chen Senran's arms again.

"Someone died inexplicably, with no scars on his body. He died as if his soul had been sucked away. The only clue was that before he died, he clutched the ground tightly, as if there was something underneath..." Karl took a deep breath.

He took a breath and drank all the red wine in the glass. "The expedition team naturally won't give up. The leader decided to dig three feet into the ground to see what's underneath."

"Then the second person died, on the night when the excavation started. The death was the same as the first person." Carl's story finally got better. "This stimulated the people in the expedition team. They were already very good friends.

Seeing their friends die inexplicably one by one, they began to dig day and night."

"But that area seems to have no bottom. After digging for a whole week, nothing has been dug up. People are still dying, one a day, never more and never less. There are less than five people left in the expedition team.

Suddenly, panic began to grow in the team, and someone finally proposed to leave." Karl seemed to be completely caught up in... In the story, the eyes hidden under the cloak revealed a compelling light, "Proposed

The person is Karsus, and he doesn’t want Elena to die here. But the other three people disagree, so the death continues.”

"I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. In the next two days, death still didn't come to Karsus and Elena. In the end, the leader and them were left." At this point, Karl suddenly pinched the Gao in his hand.

The foot cup seemed to be talking about something that he couldn't bear and had to vent. "Karsus asked the leader to leave. There was obviously an unknown curse there, but the leader was completely crazy. His eyes were red with open eyes.

His eyes roared at Karsus, either the devil will kill me, or I will kill the devil, and no one will be able to leave his companions alone."

"Karsus remained silent regarding the leader's madness. He decided to take Elena and leave quietly before midnight. Although it was unethical to do so,... Elena could not die." The empty wine glass in his hand was removed.

Karl's squeeze made a clicking sound, and he was about to break, "But... just when they were about to leave secretly, they were discovered by the leader, and he killed Elena..."

"He actually killed my Elena..." The goblet finally broke into pieces, turned into powder and splashed into the fire, making a violent explosion. Karl roared hoarsely, and the roar

It actually broke through the surrounding fog, and the singing voices around it became more and more sad, "My Elena is dead, and then the leader. There is indeed a curse there. I became the ultimate beneficiary and gained immortal life.

But what's the use? My Elena is dead. She turned into the wind and scattered in every piece of land here. When I touch the earth, I seem to be able to feel every inch of her skin. My Elena...

…”

Karl, no, Karthus, was completely immersed in his own memories. He deeply kissed the ground under his feet and told his own story.
