Banner of the Evil God

There are about five legendary creatures living in the Ash Forest and surrounding areas.

The Snow Elephant King in the northernmost part of the Desolate Mountains, the Extreme Cold Tyrant in Dragon Roar Town, the Skeleton Devourer in Tranquility Swamp, the Shadow Demon King, and the Death Knight Grat.

The first three have fixed territories, but the last two do not. The Shadow Demon also has a general area of ​​activity. The Death Knight simply doesn't have a clear area of ​​activity. It just wanders around aimlessly in the Ash Forest.

More than one adventurer has had close contact with him. Although this death knight is an undead, he is not as violent and vicious as ordinary undead. He just holds his head and rides a skeleton horse with only the skeleton left. I mutter philosophical questions like "Who am I" all day long.

However, meeting him is definitely not a pleasant experience, because he will pester everyone he meets with such dizzying questions. who I am? Where do I come from? Where am I going? What is life? What is true success? What is the value of human beings? Wait wait wait...

His question is not painful at all, but it is one that almost no one can answer. In particular, he is surrounded by a strong aura of death. Ordinary people will be frightened just by being touched by the aura. Even those brave adventurers will be frightened and trembled if they stay in the aura of death for a long time. In this case, Who else has enough energy to think about these questions?

So the final result is probably that these unlucky people finally collapsed under the double blow of the spirit and body, and each one of them foamed at the mouth and fainted on the ground. Many of them would even lose part of their memory, and some would even leave sequelae. , I go crazy when I hear someone asking similar questions.

Of course, there are some who are bold and not afraid of death. When asked, they get angry and draw swords. The result is self-evident - the death knight does not like to use force to solve problems, but it does not mean that he cannot use force to solve problems. And when it comes to force, there are absolutely not many people in the world who can be stronger than him, at least in the entire main plane.

Sui Xiong recalled this information and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This death knight is really an interesting person!

He flew back and forth over the Ash Forest, looking for the lonely figure wandering around. I don't know if it was due to bad luck, but I searched for almost half a month before I found the death knight.

It was a dark night, with no moon or stars, and heavy snowfall. Sui Xiong noticed that a snowdrift suddenly shook and fell apart. A skeleton horse came out of it, with a knight wearing worn armor riding on the horse.

The knight's neck was empty, but he was holding a round object in his left hand. He looked closely and saw that it was a helmet. If he looked carefully, he saw that there was a skull inside the helmet.

"Could this guy be a large skeleton soldier?"

Sui Xiong murmured curiously, slowly shrinking in size until he was about the same size as a person, and then landed towards the ground.

Of course the death knight also noticed him and looked up at the sky.

It's strange to say that he clearly has no head, but when he turns around and puffs out his chest, Sui Xiong can clearly feel that he is looking up at him, which is really weird.

"Hello, I am Void Mask who lives nearby." Sui Xiong flew in front of him and introduced himself with a smile, "I was busy some time ago and never had time to say hello to the neighbors. Now I am finally free. Of course. Come visit me - speaking of brother Death Knight, you live in a really remote place! I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

The death knight was silent for a moment and asked: "Who am I?"

"I'm here to say hello to you, not to discuss philosophical issues?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm your neighbor."

"who I am?"

"Brother, you're not going to have a brain problem, are you? Why are you just saying these two sentences over and over again?"

“Why do people think?”

"...I just passed by by chance. I haven't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet. Why don't we wait for me to wash my face and brush my teeth and let's go have a drink and a barbecue together. How about we discuss these issues when we're full?" Sui Xiong accompanied him. He smiled and said, "Isn't it nice to have a full meal, lie next to a warm campfire, and discuss some philosophical issues as a lullaby?"

"Why eat? Why discuss these issues when we are full of wine and food? Why sleep?"

How dare Sui Xiong answer? He didn't want to be entangled with this crazy guy!

"...Well, it's getting late today, and I still have a business to discuss." He said, "Well, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to chat with you after I finish talking about the business."

After saying that, he jumped up and flew into the sky. But he didn't expect that the Death Knight's right hand suddenly stretched out and shook his hand towards the void.

A black light spread out from the hand that was already a skeleton, binding Sui Xiong tightly before he could escape, and tightly connecting them together.

"Why are you avoiding it? You're obviously not busy."

The lie was exposed in person, and even the Jellyfish God, who was so thick-skinned as to be able to withstand a giant siege crossbow, couldn't help but blush. He giggled twice and had no choice but to sit in the air and chat with the death knight.

It is definitely not an interesting experience to chat with the Death Knight. This undead has a rather dull way of thinking and can hardly think of anything valuable. Moreover, he always quibbles about some meaningless questions. Anyway, in Sui Xiong's opinion, questions such as "Who am I", "Where do I come from", and "Where am I going" are definitely questions that only people with a lot of problems need to think about. What's the point of normal people thinking about this?

However, the Death Knight cares about these questions very much. He always dwells on these questions. Even if Sui Xiong deliberately diverts the topic, he will return to these questions soon.

Sui Xiong also used methods such as "Come from where you came from, go to where you are going" to prevaricate, but he is not a monk after all, and cannot explain in detail what "where you come from" and "where you are going" mean. The philosophical knowledge he learned in college has long been returned to the teacher, and not even a trace of it is left.

Well, maybe there was no trace in the first place. He didn't seem to have passed the philosophy exam at all. Later, the teacher was merciful. Seeing that the average score of the whole class was close to 20, he had no choice but to give a pass to all those who were willing to come to class honestly, so that he could get away with it...

This conversation with the Death Knight really made him rack his brains. Especially this tin can was terribly stubborn. If he didn't get the answer, he would pester him to death. Even if Sui Xiong pretended to be dead, it would be useless.

Sui Xiong was pestered by him for three or four days. Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore. He swung his tentacles to pull out a big tree next to him, and knocked him to the ground with a stick. He also pressed the big tree and a lot of ice and snow on him, and then flew away in a hurry before he could struggle out.

These attacks were of course nothing to the Death Knight, but this legendary undead was not good at strength. When he crawled out of that pile of things, Sui Xiong had already gone far away.

The giant jellyfish was speeding in the sky, muttering to himself as it flew: "It's true that mentally ill people have broad ideas and mentally retarded children have a lot of fun. What on earth is this guy thinking about! I will stay away from him in the future!"

He hurried back to the settlement, made a big wooden sign with ping-pong, and erected it at the door.

There is a line of big words on the wooden sign: Neurotics, vandals, death knights, no entry!

After doing all this, Sui Xiong let out a long breath and returned to the amusement park.

He originally planned to resume work now and try to open the amusement park in the spring of next year, but he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

"What is it?" The giant jellyfish rubbed the part that he didn't know whether it should be considered a head with its tentacles, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he finally remembered what he had overlooked.

Among the neighbors in the Ash Forest, there is still one person he hasn't visited!

Although the neighbor probably wouldn't welcome his visit, he had been to other houses but not this one. If he told others about it, wouldn't it be said that Brother Xiong was impolite and didn't know how to be partial?

Sui Xiong was a man who did what he said. He immediately prepared a "generous gift", then separated an avatar, cast a spell to shuttle through the space barrier of the main plane, and arrived at the destination with the gift.

It was a hidden valley in the shadow world. There was a mess of palace ruins in the valley. A colorful figure in red, black, white and green was wriggling violently in the ruins. It struggled hard to eliminate the forces in its body that conflicted with "death" and "shadow".

But judging from the degree of mixing of various colors, its efforts had little effect.

"Hello! Brother Shadow Demon! How are you doing?" Sui Xiong flew over very familiarly, took out his gift, and carefully placed it near it, "Brother, I've been doing well recently and have some savings. Seeing you so down and out, I feel very sorry for you!"

"So, I brought you a gift, I believe you will like it!"

After saying that, he waved his tentacles, and the tightly wrapped gift suddenly opened, and he himself flashed and returned to the main plane as if escaping for his life.

The gift was originally a tightly sealed box. At this moment, the box was opened, and inside was a solid phonograph stone. The moment the binding array disappeared, the power of the phonograph stone began to take effect, releasing the sound stored in advance.

Only to hear a cheerful voice singing: "...Sing and dance with grandpa and you won't get old..."

The Shadow Demon roared and kicked the sound stone far away, but he didn't expect to trigger the mechanism inside. A portal opened quickly, and then a death knight riding a skeleton horse walked out of the portal slowly.

"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" He looked at the Shadow Demon and asked blankly.

The Shadow Demon was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the other party's identity from the familiar appearance and even more familiar lines.

Isn't this the super chatterbox who forced him to move from the Green Mist Forest to the Shadow Realm!

So he finally let out a desperate scream.

"Why do I meet you here!"
