Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Faced with Slade's sharp gaze, Sean hesitated and did not leave immediately.

He wanted to negotiate with her again to see if he could be allowed to stay, lest she do anything drastic to Angie.

However, when he saw Angie nodding firmly to him, Sean hesitated for a moment, and finally breathed a silent sigh of relief and politely excused himself to Slade.

Slade and Angie were the only two people left in the hall on the fifth floor.

Listening to Sean's footsteps fading away, suddenly, Slade smiled mysteriously at Angie, then walked to her side and sat down against her.

Slade's unexpected behavior made Angie freeze on the spot.Before she could even begin to think, "What on earth is Slade going to do?", the other party's slightly cold arm had already wrapped around the back of her neck, resting lightly on her shoulders, and then there was a whisper in her ear. :
"Does it still hurt?"

"...It doesn't hurt anymore."

Answering this, Angie fearfully touched the base of his diagonal horns to make sure there was no sign of them being separated from his head. At the same time, he heard Slade's voice again:

"Did you notice that I was extra nice to you today?"

"……Found."

At such a close distance, Anji could even feel the warm breath of the man speaking.

She tried to keep her voice calm, tried to keep her expression tight, tried to restrain her desire to dodge, and silently took deep breaths to relieve the pressure.

But at the same time, Slade still had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he held her shoulder with one hand, and then took out an envelope from in front of him with his other hand and handed it to the nervous girl. To the girl who was frozen in place:
"take a look."

Under Slade's calm gaze, Angie took the envelope, opened it carefully, took out the brown parchment inside, and gently spread it out with her hands. At this moment, she heard Slade speak softly:
"Why did you suddenly start wearing gloves?"

"...I haven't worn it much before, so I want to give it a try."

"Oh, how dare you lie next to me."

Although he said he was disgusted, Slade didn't mean to blame her, and his expression was very calm, which surprised Angie.

In order to quickly skip this topic, she didn't say anything else. She just opened the letter in silence and read it carefully.

[To all lords]

We are the gatekeepers of the cemetery and would like to issue the following notice to you:

This cemetery will be officially opened on the third Sunday in December.

Different from usual, this time, we will reduce the concentration of curses here, turn the cemetery into what you call a level 7 alien land, and invite Angie Knight to come and participate in this round of the cemetery.

If she had not come, the cemetery would not be open to anyone this time.

Also: In this cemetery, the number of participants from each force is only 2 or less.If there are too many, we kill the excess.

After reading these words, Anji was extremely shocked.

Then, her eyes came to the signature at the bottom of the letter, and she found a simple and exquisite red rose pattern there, and she suddenly became curious.

This seal has too bright colors and clear brushstrokes, and it doesn't seem to be drawn on letter paper.

So...is this rose pattern the symbol of the cemetery gatekeeper?
With doubts, she subconsciously touched there with her fingers.But at this moment, a terrifying and severe heart palpitation suddenly enveloped her whole body, accompanied by a sharp pain that exploded from the depths of her head, as if her whole head was about to split on the spot, causing her to scream in pain. Made a sound:
"Uh--"

Almost at the same time, her wrist was grabbed by something hard and cold, and her whole hand was lifted up.

The pain in my mind receded like a tide, and the intense physical discomfort also quickly disappeared.At this moment, she breathed rapidly as if she had survived a disaster. She watched her hand being held by Slade and put it on the other side. At the same time, she heard the familiar disgusting tone:

"Call me stupid, but you can tell there's something wrong with that pattern. But if you're smart, why do you just dare to touch it?"

"I... didn't think too much about it."

Breathing rapidly, Angie tried to adjust her fast heartbeat, and saw Slade taking the letter away and putting it back in front of him again.

At this moment, Slade was still holding her with one arm.Because she was too tall, Angie only reached Slade's shoulders when they sat next to each other, which gave her the illusion that she was very petite. Then she saw Slade looking down slightly. He smiled at her:
"Now do you know why I'm so nice to you?"

"Ah."

Anji responded simply and neatly, but Anji's mood became a little heavy.

Slade must have wanted her to go to the cemetery...but if he just went to the cemetery, would he need to be so nice to her?As long as she gives an order, can Anji still disobey it?
Thinking secretly in her heart, she saw Slade asking calmly:

"tell me your opinion."

A cool body temperature that was not her own came from her shoulders and sides, disrupting her thoughts.

In order to avoid Slade's gaze, Angie looked at the ground in front of him, tried to concentrate on his thinking, and answered after a moment:
"I don't know why this cemetery specially invited me to go, but the title 'Angie Knight' seems very strange - my name is easy to repeat with others." The writer did not write his full name, nor did he The reason why he pointed out where this 'Anji' came from was probably because he didn't know this information at all and only knew the name - maybe the Anji he invited was not me at all. "

"Hmm. Then?"

There was no emotion in Slade's voice, which made Angie unable to guess her current mood, so she continued cautiously:
"Well... there is more than one gatekeeper at the cemetery. The cemetery has been opened many times... Has the cemetery ever experienced such a sudden downgrade?"

"No. Not only in the cemetery, but also in other foreign lands, I have never seen this kind of 'sudden downgrade', nor have I heard of it."

With that said, Slade finally let go of her and explained the cemetery to her seriously:

"The cemetery was originally an eighth-level foreign land, with a high threshold of 170 tolerance points to enter - but in fact, this threshold of 170 tolerance points is only the threshold for 'slight discomfort'. It does not mean that you will not be affected by it. The effects of the curse there.

"Generally speaking, in this situation, a person can't live for up to three days. However, as long as you borrow powerful recovery treasures, you can stay there for more than a week, so 170 is considered the threshold. As of At present, no one knows how high the endurance value must be in order not to be affected by the curse there.”

During her explanation, Angie nodded while listening, thinking that the threshold that Scott said before seemed to be 180, which was slightly different from what Slade said.

Did Scott remember it wrong?Or was Slade mistaken?

wrong.Now, there is a more serious problem before us: doesn't Slade's "no one knows" just mean that she doesn't know either?

So, even her "patience value is as high as 200", will she be affected?

At this moment, Angie looked up at Slade excitedly and asked in a panic:
"According to your statement, does it mean that everyone in the cemetery will have 'at least' mild symptoms of discomfort and need to use powerful recovery treasures to survive?"

"Well, everyone—including me."

Seeing Slade sneer and say these words, at this moment, Anji felt an electric shock-like feeling of horror spread throughout his body, and he stammered and asked:
"In this case... the eighth-level alien realm is already equivalent to the 'highest level of alien realm that a person can set foot in', right?"

"Absolutely. However, I have been to a place where the curse is more intense. I stayed on the edge of that foreign land for a while and then left."

"gone?"

Feeling that Slade's words were a bit concealed, Angie repeated the word in confusion, and sure enough, she twitched the corners of her mouth in displeasure and stared: "You still ask?"

Oh, that means running away.

Biting her lip hard, Angie forced her smile back, not daring to show any abnormality on her face, and asked softly under Slade's sharp and dissatisfied gaze:

"Excuse me...who am I going with this time? Are there any precautions?"

"And me."

"????"

Unable to keep his expression straight, Anji's mood at this moment was as complicated as if he had spilled five or six kinds of seasonings. He looked at Slade sitting next to him and continued calmly:
"Tathrad Gallagher, he is my old subordinate, has been trapped in the cemetery for 39 years. The cemetery is the intersection of life and death. The dead here can' The soul form' continues to live for 40 years, and there is another rule in this place:
“As long as someone can successfully achieve the goal of the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper will grant that person a wish within his ability.

"My wish is to bring Tathrad back alive and whole. Counting the cemetery this time, he has two last chances left - so this time, you must go there with me, and I will 'Try to do your best' to get you back alive."

Hearing this, Angie's uneasiness became more intense, and then she saw Slade grinning:
"The only thing you need to pay attention to is to listen to me and do what I tell you. You still have two weeks to prepare. During this time, I will train you personally. There is nothing left to say. ? Hurry up and finish, we will start training in the afternoon."

"Wait...wait a minute." At this moment, Anji had the illusion that cold sweat was pouring down his back, "Are you so...urgent?"

"Otherwise? Where do you think that is?"

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Slade suddenly frowned and his voice became irritated:

"Even if it will be downgraded to a seventh-level foreign land this time, you have just passed the minimum threshold - you will have mild discomfort there and need to use other means to force it down. In order to increase the chance of success, I need you "Thoroughly" figure out your abilities and upper limits in these two weeks, and then set off with me - you don't want to die there, do you?"

"Then...well, I have something else I want to report to you." Accepting the status quo with difficulty, Anji raised her hand carefully to speak.

"You said."

"When I came out of Norson Village before, within three minutes, Renee suddenly appeared and wanted to take me away——"

Before she could finish her sentence, suddenly, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, which made her tremble on the spot. She saw Slade speak with great anger:
"What did you say??!!!"

Sitting diligently typing every day, my back hurts and I shed tears when I write.

But on the other hand, the collection of great things is decreasing, which makes me feel quite happy.

But...I do wish these zombie collections would disappear.They won’t read it anyway, so don’t put it here to occupy my data...

It has more than 600 collections and only has single-digit readers, which is really disappointing.
