"Yeah, the agreement is seven days back and forth... By the way, how many days have passed now? Ever since I entered this realm, I can't count the time at all." Nolan suddenly realized when Maia reminded him screamed.
"You only stayed for about a day after entering the Swamp of Evil Spirits. It's just that the time in the Forest of the Dead is not easy to calculate. I think it's better to return early, so as not to miss the agreement with the prophet Sheila. Since we have sworn a blood alliance , I became your shadow, and I still have a lot of time in the future to teach you more skills in actual combat." Maia said so and turned her direction, "Christ seems to have left behind in the forest of the dead. Come and go, so that it is easy to find the entrance when you came in, let's go now."
"Okay." Nolan immediately ran forward a few steps, following Maia's footsteps.
However, looking at the back of Maia leading the way, the faint phantom of Christer when he was leading the way earlier appeared in her mind, and a sad emotion always spread in her chest, which could not be dissipated for a long time.

The time required to walk back to the entrance of the realm was shorter than expected, and soon, Nolan saw the entrance door emitting white light.
"Here we are." Maia stopped in her tracks as she spoke, and explained, "I am an undead after all, and I should stay in my own place, so I can only send you here, but since we have formed an alliance, when you need me Whenever, I will respond to your call in time, and I will be able to talk to you through your shadow, go back with peace of mind."
Nolan nodded, and then saw Maia dancing and spinning twice in the air, before disappearing into the shadow at her feet in a streamlined manner.
"Thanks for your hard work." Nolan said to his own shadow, and then rushed out of the border exit with a few big strides.
-
"It seems to be much faster than I imagined."
This time Nolan rushed out of the mirror door and saw the Prophet sitting by the lake not far away fishing, and said these words lightly.
"Master Sheila! Long time no see, I miss you so much!" Nolan happily rushed over to offer a hug, but was held against his stomach by the prophet's staff. Almost touching the prophet's shoulder, Nolan waved his arms unwillingly, making a cute whining sound.
The Prophet sighed helplessly, and responded: "Exactly four days, not too long, and back and forth a day later than me, it seems that you have met a noble person to help you—the forest of the dead is called the labyrinth of the god of death, and it has a grudge with you All the evil spirits will not let go of the opportunity to confuse and kill you, and the evil spirit swamp is full of evil spirits who live by eating evil spirits. It stands to reason that you should encounter some troubles... "
"I just met two undead... Oh, no, one of them doesn't even count as undead." Thinking of Christ, Nolan couldn't help feeling sad again.
"Well, it seems that your child has no enemies, which is a kind of luck." Seeing that Nolan stopped trying to touch her, the prophet Sheila withdrew her staff and explained, "What we need now is It’s about going back to the star tower, back to the moment when we fought against Nine Tails, and getting ready to fight him to the death.”
Nolan nodded resolutely, and couldn't help but ask, "So, Lord Shera, have you already obtained the Saint Star Stone?"
"Of course." Sheila stood up slowly, turned to Nolan, and raised her left hand upwards. A round gemstone emitting purple light slipped out of her cuff and floated on her palm. The light was evil and slightly restrained, but it illuminated Nolan's eyes, revealing an expression of "Awesome".
"I've been with the Prophet Sheila for so long, and I've even seen the legendary holy stone in this world. I must have touched a cheat somewhere!" Nolan turned around excitedly. A circle, started jumping and shouting to himself talking to himself.
In the eyes of the prophet Sheila, this seemed to be a sign of insanity, so she silently put away the holy stone in her hand, teleported at a faster pace, and moved towards the depths of the bush...
"Master Sheila! Where are you going...don't leave me behind!" When Nolan realized, the Prophet was only left with a distant figure, and she couldn't help shouting, running wildly after the figure...
-
"So, are we going back tomorrow to fight Nine-Tails?"
It was night again, and Nolan sat cross-legged on one side of the fire with his hands folded, and asked the prophet who was meditating with his eyes closed on the other side of the fire.
The Prophet hadn't spoken a few words to her for almost a day, but just sat with his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
"I was thinking, how can I save your life." Shera finally spoke, but the first sentence made Nolan feel a little disappointed, "With your current ability, you are still no match for Kyuubi. He is fighting head-on, and he still hits the stone with an egg. Of course, there are still some advantages to transforming into a shadow priest, and I am calculating the details in my mind, thinking about the odds of winning and escape from the star tower."
"Oh... will Master Sheila come with me?" Nolan pouted unconsciously, and crossed his fingers anxiously.
"No, I will stay in the tower—I and Nine-Tails will decide the outcome, either I die or he dies!" Shera said sonorously, and finally opened her eyes, "I originally planned to get After the Holy Star Stone, I will take you back to kill and finish with Nine Tails. But looking at it now, it seems that it will take some time for the Holy Star Stone to fuse with my power. After analyzing the combat power, I am still a little behind him, so I must still We need to stay in this environment for a while longer.”
"Okay..." The Prophet said to wait, and Nolan had no choice but to be obedient, and asked, "Master Sheila, is there anything I can do for you?"
"The only thing you can do is—don't disturb my practice." The Prophet said bluntly, "I'm going to practice in a hidden cave deep in the snow mountain early tomorrow morning. During this period, you stay here and move freely until I come back It is just to meet you. I have observed the terrain of this oasis, and here are all the items enough for you to survive. If you are hungry, you can fish and grill by yourself by the lake. You don't need very advanced cooking skills to make it for yourself A good meal; as for sleep, I will weave a permanent sanctuary for you, and you can rest when you need it. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to choose your opponent carefully. If If you accidentally provoke a powerful opponent and lose your life, then I can’t save you. To be on the safe side, move around the protected area. If you encounter danger, hide in the protected area. Naturally, those dragon monsters will not be able to find you. .”
Although the Prophet has always shown an arrogant temperament and is occasionally cold to others, Nolan only feels that she has considered herself carefully and that she can rely on trust, so she nodded obediently: "Okay, Nolan will Wait here for Master Prophet to come back from his practice! I will work hard too!" (To be continued)
