While the saint's attention was attracted by the statue of light, Kaidan left the team and walked away alone. When Ronis found out, Kaidan could no longer be seen.
Seeing this, Ronis could only pray for him silently. In any case, Kaidan had helped him before, and he only hoped that he and his friends could escape this disaster.
Walking all the way through the city, Kaidan soon came to the temporary magic workshop built in the city, where Master Tazis and his apprentice were.
Approaching the workshop, Kaidan's figure was recognized by the nearby guards. Soon, a bunch of well-equipped Iron Man puppets stood in front of Kaidan.
"Don't come any closer, Kaidan. Seeing that you have helped us in the past, if you leave now, we will not stop you."
The deputy of Tazis Workshop, Master Nevin, stood in front of a group of golem puppets and yelled at Kaidan. Of course he knew the mercenary. When he completed the commission from the Church of Light before, Kaidan was in the manufacturing process.
He helped a lot. Due to the lack of magic instruments, he also completed all the physical work that was difficult for the mage apprentices to handle.
"The City of Light is about to be destroyed. The saints will wipe out everything in the city. If you still want to live, you'd better leave here quickly. The same is true for Master Tazis." Kaidan said urgently, his eyes couldn't help but glance behind the puppet.

Facing Kaidan's persuasion, Naven fell into silence. Of course he felt the movement in the distance. The huge bright statue could cause an earthquake with every move he made: "This is not something I can decide. I must listen to Taqi."
Master Si’s order.”
"Don't you understand? He was deceived by the people here. Now he can only listen to lies, and I won't let this happen." Kaidan clenched the blade in his hand. He may not be as powerful as the saints.
, there is no protection on him, but he will not give up just like that.
Master Neven's eyes narrowed, and he waved. The golems behind him lined up neatly. Under the control of the mage, the lifeless golems seemed to form a solid wall, blocking Kaidan's path. "Let him come here."
At this moment, there was a sigh from the room behind, and Master Neven looked respectful. That was the voice of the owner of the workshop, Master Tazis.
With Tazis's order, Niven no longer blocked Kaidan, and the Iron Golem also moved out of the way, allowing Kaidan to pass between them.
Arriving inside the house, Kaidan finally saw the old Master Tazis. Master Tazis was sitting in front of the extinguished fireplace, and his entire body seemed to have lost the strength to support him.
This was Kaidan's first meeting with Tazis since he was deceived by the priest of light. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Tazis, we'd better leave here as soon as possible."
From the changes in the city, the arrival of the saints, and the statue of light that was supposed to be dead but suddenly became active, Kaidan was keenly aware of the problems in the city. They were involved in a conspiracy. If they didn't escape as soon as possible,
, it will be too late to regret until the accident happens.
Facing Kaidan's proposal, Tazis shook his head lightly: "I will not go anywhere, I will stay here until the last moment of my life."
Listening to the mage's plain words, Kaidan suddenly became anxious: "You don't want to leave because you were deceived by those priests! I told you a long time ago that your son was turned into an undead by Rhodes' army.
, and was killed with holy water by the mercenaries on the mission. His soul was completely disintegrated and there was no possibility of resurrection! I saw all that with my own eyes. No matter what those priests showed you, they were all lies to you."<
/p>
"You are really... rude and disrespectful." Tazis showed a complicated expression and clenched his hands tightly.
"I'm telling you the truth. Until now, I still remember the way your son died. You should really take a good look at what he looked like when he died. If he could see you now, he would definitely be sad for you." Kaidan
Insist.
"You woke me up from the remaining sweet dreams and made me return to this cruel world and feel the pain again. Are you happy now?" Master Tazis sighed.
"What..."
Kaidan was slightly startled. The reaction of Master Tazis was different from what he expected. Tazis did not get angry, but maintained the calmness of the mage, as if he had known all this for a long time.
As if seeing Kaidan's doubts, this time, Master Tazis raised his head, with a long-lost mage look in his eyes: "Not everyone can accept the sadness calmly and live in the cruel present. I know that the priest gives
What I saw was false, but what does it matter? At least it can give my tired soul some comfort."
Kaidan was stunned, but still said: "But things shouldn't be like this..."
"Then what do you want me to do? For the sake of my dead son, take revenge on Rhodes who controls millions of undead and covers the sky with one hand? That is impossible to succeed. Maybe you still have hope in this life, but I am already old.
Even worse than a corpse witch. Just let me stay here... This will be Tazis's final destination."
The old mage's words revealed deep fatigue. Just by mentioning the mighty Lord of the Undead in his words, his thin body seemed even more powerless.
Looking at Kaidan who fell into silence, Tazis added: "I never ask for the existence of a bright hero who can wipe out all evil and stand up for the suffering people. I just hope that before I die, I can see more of my dead.
I have seen my son for a few times, even if I just look at his illusion, I can get some comfort from the memories of the past... I can no longer continue to fight."
"What about the other apprentices? They all trust you and follow you, and you put them in a conspiracy. Do you want to see them get hurt or even die because of you?" Kaidan changed the topic.
Advise.
"You are right." Tazis praised, "So I will entrust those apprentices to trustworthy people. From now on, you will inherit Tazis Alchemy Workshop, and those apprentices will be used by you.
You can lead them to continue fighting, or find them a home. If you still insist on coming back to me at this moment, I believe you can treat them well."
"Wait..." Kaidan opened his mouth wide. He never expected that things would develop like this.
"Your priest friend is looking for a way to shine, isn't he? Those apprentices know the ritual of light and can help you. As for me, just let me stay here alone."
After saying that, Tazis held Kaidan's hand and pushed the mercenaries who were blocking the way across the realm to the door, while he himself stayed alone in the dark quiet room, waiting for his last moment.
