"Good. Angels nodded calmly.

He had already anticipated that Wardle might come to him. As Bopota said, it is impossible for Wardl not to have a plan, but what exactly he is trying to do, Ingres does not know for the time being.

He went out alone, in fact, to see if Wardle would show up.

As it turned out, he guessed right.

Wardle: "Please follow me. ”

Wardle flew off into the distance, the wind of the Acropolis rattling his robes with a hunting sound.

The night flight under Ingres' feet flickered with a black-gold streak, and his toes floated lightly into the air, flying into the unknown darkness with Wardle.

As Ingres left, Grewood in the stone chamber was unaware, still staring at Olusia's soul with "affectionate affection", and the words were still in his mouth. But in the other compartment, Bopota looked up at the window through the cloak, until Ingres's figure disappeared, and Bopota lowered his head, and an inaudible sigh escaped from the air.

Flying over the eerie Acropolis filled with bones and necromancy, Ingres is taken out of the city by Wardle.

That is where the throne and the pile of bones are located.

The lone lamp emitting a dim yellow firelight stood on the top of the hill of bones, and the wind blew and the firelight swayed, illuminating the already gloomy area with ghostly shadows.

When Wardle arrived, he stopped, and stood quietly on the edge of the pile, not speaking for a long time.

Ingres didn't know what Wardle was trying to do, so he could only respond to the changes with the same. Stand aside and wait for Wardle to speak.

When I first arrived, all my attention was drawn to the Phase Gate in the sky, but I didn't look at it closely. Looking back now, it made Ingres discover something odd.

Why is the throne placed outside the city?

According to common sense, the throne is a symbol of supreme power, and shouldn't it be placed at the center of the acropolis?

Also, why is there such a hill of bones deliberately placed outside? Moreover, instead of shining on the throne, a lone lamp quietly shines on this hill of bones?

Seeing Angel's gaze on the pile of bones, Wardle suddenly said, "You're curious about these bones?"

"I'm just curious why they're piled up here. Ingres said truthfully.

Wardel smiled, saying it was laughter, but from under the mask came only the sound of "laughing", but there was no emotion of "laughing".

"It's their will, and it's mine. Wardel turned slowly, picked up the lone lamp on the pile of bones, and quietly shone on the mountain of bones.

"These bones include my ancestors, my relatives, my lovers, and my friends. The lights flickered, covering the original totem on Wardel's mask with a layer of dim light, and his faint words were like seeing the soul of an eternal era, slowly standing up in this pile of bones. They were all lives related to Wardle, but now except for Wardl who is still alive, everyone else has disappeared in the long river of time, and only this pile of bones remains.

"Almost all of them died in battle, guarding the Hangu Acropolis until the last moment. And those who killed them included the demons who came to attack, the strongest among the monsters, and even ...... You humans. ”

"I'm sorry. Angel said softly.

"Your Excellency the Savior doesn't need to apologize for this, it's none of your business, those are old things. It's been a long time, and all the hatred and resentment, I've long forgotten. However, of all the intruders, you humans are transparent and profit-seeking, at least in the eyes of our aborigines. As long as there are interests, it is okay to even turn against each other. ”

Wardle recounted the past in a calm tone: "For them, in order for the glory of Hangu to continue, dying in battle is also an honor in itself. During their lifetime, they guarded the last acropolis of the aborigines, and after their deaths, they also guarded the gate of this acropolis, which was their own choice. ”

"For me, seeing their bones makes me reflect on myself. So, I put the lamp on their bones and told myself all the time that they were watching me. ”

At this point, Wardle turned to look at Angel, "Would you be interested in hearing my story?"

Angel paused for a moment, and immediately understood that Wardle was probably about to get to the point.

Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Okay." ”

Wardel pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke, "I used to be the king of the Cold Ancient Acropolis. ”

"But compared to them. Wardle pointed to the pile of fingerbones: "I'm a coward who is afraid of death, so I thought of the way back early." Choose to share the glory and loss with the mainland, and completely integrate yourself with this continent......"

“...... Because of the gate of phase, or the competition of other interests, after countless wars, I survived timidly. ”

"At first I was complacent. It wasn't until I watched my former father, my lover, and even my children grow old and die that I began to wonder if I had made the wrong choice. Later, when the cold era passed, and the few remaining aborigines left here, leaving only this lonely ruin, I suddenly realized that I might have really made the wrong choice in the first place. ”

"A wizard once approached me through the Gate of Phases, and I agreed. I offered on the condition that I wanted an answer to a question. ”

"I asked him, every wizard seems to be chasing endless life, what is the point of that?"

Wardle looked at Angel, "Do you know how he answered?"

"We're just looking for the truth. Angel said softly.

Wardel nodded: "Yes, that's what he answered me too. I asked him what the truth was, and he laughed but didn't answer. Later, I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't know if I understood it correctly, but I guessed that truth might be a vision, a motivation that motivates wizards to move forward, and an obsession that is unattainable. ”

Wardel looked at Ingres, as if trying to get an answer to the question of what truth was from Ingres.

"Everyone's path to truth is different. Ingres replied that it was none of his business whether Wardl was correct or not, and that the truth itself was in his heart.

Wardel shook his head, and instead of continuing on the subject of truth, he returned to the topic: "Unfortunately, I have no hope of moving forward. ”

Ingres: "Because, you share the glory and loss of this continent?"

Wardel looked deeply at Ingres: "That's right, I have personally destroyed my hope of moving forward. If the continent falls, I will die, and if the continent recovers, I will be better with it. ”

"The general consciousness of the mainland is close to you, so I can't have any offensive intent towards you. ”

Ingres' eyes flashed with surprise, Wardle didn't need to say this sentence at all, he deliberately pointed it out, did he want to calm my heart?

"Without any hope of moving forward, I can only spend time in this lonely world. Until, I met you, Your Excellency the Savior. ”

At this point, Angel already understood that what Wardle said next was probably the reason why he called him here.

There must be something to ask for.

Sure enough, after some foreshadowing, Wardl stated the purpose of the trip.

......

Ingres returned to the stone chamber above the prayer chapel.

As he pushed the door open, Grewood floated over. Grewood turned back into a ball of flame, which looked like a small fireball.

Seeing the doubts in Angel's eyes, Grewu said: "There are too many dead souls here, although they won't come close here, but the cold wind has been pouring in from the door, and it is warmer to restore the true body." ”

"You can close the door. Angels casually closed the door of the stone chamber to block out the wind blowing outside.

Grevo also took on the form of a human being, a little swarthy, but with a very delicate face.

"Because I don't know when the owner will come back. As she spoke, Grevo suddenly thought of something: "Where have you been, shopkeeper?" Lord Orusia woke up a moment ago, and I was looking for you, but I found that you were not outside. ”

"I went out for a walk. Ingres vaguely brought up the topic: "Aulusia is awake?"

"Yes, but after a while, I woke up, spoke a few words to me, and fell back asleep. The Source Fire Seal makes it difficult for his soul power to be transmitted, if he can ......"

"What did it say?" Ingres interrupted Grewood, knowing that if he didn't interrupt Grewood, he would probably have to let go of Alusia's soul.

In fact, Ingres didn't think what would happen to Orucia after breaking the seal, as evidenced by his willingness to give the "Eye of Light" to Grewood. Grewood could have taken advantage of his departure to break the Flame Seal, but it didn't do that, and Olucia didn't ask Grewood to do so.

This kind of mutual trust is actually an indication of Alusia's attitude.

However, in order to avoid trouble, and just in case, Angel still felt that it was better to avoid unlocking the open fire seal as much as possible.

Referring to what Orucia said, Grewu pursed his lips: "I told Lord Orusia about our current situation, and it was fine at first, but when it knew that this was the Yuantan Continent, it didn't talk much...... However, it told the shopkeeper not to provoke anyone or anything related to the Queen of Hell, whether it was Kurando or Garm, and to try not to have too much to do with them. ”

"Why?"

Grevu: "According to Lord Alusia, the Queen of Hell is an unspeakable ancient of horrors, a self-centered madman who spreads the horrors of death in the abyss. ”

Even if it was Grewood's relay, Angel could sense the fear in Orucia's words about the Queen of Hell.

Ingres pondered for a moment: "I see. ”

Angel and Grewood talked about something extraneous and went back to their room.
