Full of anxiety and anger, some shrill young male voices spanned the entire cave and pierced her eardrum. At the same time, sky-like transparent walls rose up, blocking her and Lily——Lily Nono
·Between Edda.
Jill didn't look back, the identity of the young man could not be more obvious. A few minutes ago, she imitated the other person's appearance, causing Lily to be seriously injured in order to protect 'him'... and then she was defeated and dying because she believed in 'him'.
"You came just in time, Alphonse." She stepped across the space and hit Lily's chest with her fist, bringing out a little silvery blood. "If it had been a year earlier, we wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."
There was a slight buzzing behind her. Jill grabbed Lily's arm and led her to the right. The emerald green light pierced her original position and exploded on the wall reinforced by the secret technique, leaving two people behind.
Meter deep pit.
"I have no intention of killing her, don't be a disservice." Jill said without looking back. The power of the machine man was not enough to threaten her, provided that she was not fighting the "Lord of Heaven". "The body of the angel bound the soul."
,If you don’t separate them, you will never take her back.”
The buzzing sound did not stop, but the anger from the young man gradually dissipated. "You...can save her?"
"Protodis can do it." The black-haired woman turned behind Lily and continued to destroy the body that belonged to the 'god'. "Speaking of which, where have you been for so long?"
"In a... house, there was... a big sister who left me there to tell her stories, and then told me stories. She said her name was——"
The young man's voice paused, and when he spoke again, there was vague doubt.
"She...eh? I...can't remember...she told me clearly...wait a minute, I only stayed for two nights, why did you just..."
"I understand, that's not important, you can think about it slowly." Gil interrupted the young man, "Now let me finish the matter."
She ignored the young man's words and focused all her attention on the body belonging to the god in front of her. Even though she was almost unconscious, it was still a difficult task to destroy it. She poured the "spiritual power" inherited from her mother into her fists,
The connection between body and soul was shattered bit by bit. The silvery white blood gradually turned into light pink, and then became more vivid, until it was the same deep red as ordinary people.
She took half a step back, pulled out the curved short blade from her waist, cut through the ribs that were no longer strong, and then stabbed the sharp blade into her heart. When she took it back again, the originally silver-gray blade became vaguely transparent, exuding a soft
And the dim red light.
"It contains Lily's soul and a little bit of her essence." The black-haired woman breathed out and handed the weapon to the confused and almost helpless young man. "The daughter of the "Lord of Heaven" is not that easy to die.
If she falls, even if she stays here, as long as she is given enough flesh and blood, she can return to her original appearance."
"Thank... thank you, Ms. Gill." Alphonse took the scimitar nervously and held it carefully in his palm, "What... do you need me to do?"
"Take care of this place and wait for Protodis to send someone over." Jill narrowed her eyes. The power granted by Bayard allowed her to see through the astral world and find the fastest path between two points. "I have others.
You can go back with the others first. Also, after returning to the original era, there is no need to find where I went. We are still not allies until you agree to cooperate with Bayard."
"The others...you mean Belle, Elena and Ann? Are they okay?"
"Bell and Grum are fine, the rest are dead." She took a step forward, watched the field of vision turn into colorful lines, and raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of malice, "What have you done in this year?
I want to see how to explain it."
The sky and the earth became pitch black, and the stars flowed past her. She walked along the path guided by the stars until the light came again.
The sole of the foot is the tallest bell tower in Golden Rock City. Looking down from a distance, what comes into view is devastation. After Ada's 'fall', the giant insects turned back into harmless insect swarms and dispersed in the wilderness. Bai
The tower and the legacy of the Federation - those secret magic structures and golems - seemed to have been ordered to stay where they were and no longer move. There were no dragons around. After all, there were only two or three giant dragons, which could not have been possible.
Gaining a bargain at the hands of Elna's wizards.
However, the repercussions of the war did not end.
The city-states burned by the dragon, the fields abandoned due to the war, the displaced people, and the seriously injured or even disabled soldiers all required a lot of manpower and financial resources to restore the situation. The war was more than half shorter than in 'history', but the Oron Empire's
The losses are still incalculable. The complete destruction of the Wizards' Union has destroyed one of the most powerful forces in the empire, even if it often disagrees with the royal family.
Those were none of her business. However, she did receive help from the imperial soldiers and Kylo Russell, and she was able to get closer to her wish to come here. And far away in her hometown, repaying kindness has always been '
The creed that the monsters follow.
Jill jumped off the clock tower. The wind held her body, allowing her to slowly land on the south side of the city. The "living gods" were still confronting each other, but it was not as tense as she imagined. She met Hisa's eyes and looked at her.
It nodded and made a gesture to show that everything was going well.
As the children of Alex Ada, they can naturally sense the fall of the new "Lord of Heaven" - which is also the 'death' of Lily Ada. She saw Bai Li's expression of confusion and sadness; Ying
Geli closed her eyes; Ryan tensed his body, but without any fighting spirit; and the other "demigods" who followed Lily were the same.
The outcome is decided, she thought. Before something worse happens.
Kylo Russell was talking to Harlan in a low voice. The whole plan came from An. He took only a few personal guards deep into the forest and persuaded "them" to go south, but it was this wise general who came from the empire. If it hadn't been for the other party, he would have almost no chance.
She believed in An's advice without reservation. It would be much more difficult for her to achieve her 'goal' than it was now.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jill." Kailo moved his eyes away from the towering black pine and greeted her with his hand on his chest, "You should leave too."
She nodded. The man smiled slightly and was full of confidence, just like when she first met him. There was nothing wrong with that - although with the help of Mal's power, they did successfully defeat a god just a moment ago.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet." The wise general of the empire raised his hand and brushed away his slightly messy golden brown short hair, "Maybe I should take over the country you left behind, the country formed by the Sachi people. If they-" He looked at it
There are many "demigods" around me, "If you want to step into the world of 'mortals', I can also do something to help you."
"Don't forget, Fermir Stark is not dead. He will come back one day."
"I understand. According to An, it was about two hundred years later, and I was long gone." Kailo spread his hands and looked at her levelly, "You can't kill Fimmel completely, is that right?"
"It's difficult, Illot is protecting him. And, for the sake of Bayard and the era I live in, I can't kill him." She didn't intend to hide the fact, "Will you resent me?"
Kailo shook his head and grinned.
"Without you, Fimmel Stark would still launch a war, and then be defeated and leave. At least now, I know the possible development." He held his chin, narrowed his eyes, and his pupils were as calm as ever, "
If he comes back again in my lifetime... I will do my best to protect the things I hold dear."
"You are worthy of the legendary wise general. Being able to get to know you makes this trip worthwhile for me." Jill teased, then smiled and looked up at him, "If that's the case, maybe there is someone named Alicia.
, women with pink hair will come to you.”
"——Remember to trust her, no matter what."
She waved goodbye to the other party. Before she had gone far, Hart called her from behind and led her to an empty city wall. He asked about the story that would unfold in the "Mystery Lock" in the future as mentioned before -
-Although it no longer belongs to the current history; Gill took out the letter that An had already written and handed it to the 'young man' from the fire elemental world.
Hart removed the sealing wax, flattened the paper, read it quickly, and burned it to ashes between his fingers.
"Interesting," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "My memory is so good! I will come back two hundred years later to see who is causing the trouble! And did you guess it right?"
This is another thing she can do here. At this point, the future of this world has nothing to do with her, and the last remaining task is also her "original intention" of coming to this period of history. She returned to the White Oak Palace without any trace of her.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the huge mouth and made a wish in a low voice.
"Take me to meet Fermir Stark."
The passage turned into light and spread out, leaving behind a long and narrow corridor made of pure and smooth dolomite cut into half-meter squares. Magic crystals were embedded on both sides of the wall, spreading milky white soft light under your feet. There were openings on both sides of the long corridor.
There were round tower windows. Gil walked to the nearest one and looked out. At the end of his sight was a gray wasteland with nothing on it.
She withdrew her gaze and walked towards the end of the corridor. This demiplane was an asset left by the White Tower family. In the original history, it was here that she and the 'Lilinono Group' found the oil lamp and met 'Earl Stark'
'Fight, and then go back to the past through the "Mirror Realm". At her suggestion, Fimmel Stark also chose this place as the place where the two met again.
Due to its short time, this building still retains traces of the White Tower wizards' residence, and Fimmel failed to transform it into what it will look like in the future. The stone door engraved with a giant dragon relief senses the visitors and slides in silently between the two.
She quickly walked through the door and looked at the room she had not seen 'last time'.
Rows of shelves lined up along the three walls, filled with heavy ancient books with leather covers and copper and iron buckles; parchment rolls longer than arms were piled in open spaces and corners. Even after being protected by secret techniques, there were still some
Worn and yellowed. Most of them are more than five hundred years old. After learning the cheaper but equally durable papermaking technology from the Ailna people, this expensive writing material gradually declined.
Fimmel sat at the table by the window in the corner, surrounded by books and scrolls. Ariel stood on one side, and the oil lamp was placed beside the table. It was different from any time in his memory, the silver-white oil lamp glowed brightly.
, even overshadowing the lighting crystals placed on the roof. The young wizard buried his head in the book, as if he was just using it for lighting, without worrying at all that the treasure would be damaged.
She walked towards the other party. The stone door closed quietly behind her, and the young wizard raised his head. Jill glanced at the scroll, which was written in ancient Kamal script, which seemed to be some legends about gods, but she could not recognize them all.
Word.
"What are you reading?" Jill asked casually, "Do I need to wait for you for a while?"
"It is said to be a poem left behind in the First Age." The young wizard shook his head and put the book aside. "At that time, humans were much closer to gods than they are now, but this closeness eventually led to disaster." He raised his head, "
In fact, it is the same today. My father punished mankind but never changed the root cause of everything."
"Are you trying to say that fighting is human nature?"
"No." Fimir looked directly at her, "There is nothing wrong with pursuing power. The difference in power between gods and humans is what causes the fight. And in the long river of time, any 'possibility' will eventually become
Inevitable." He lowered his eyes, "But I never thought that you would actually choose to join forces with my 'enemy'. Let me be curious, how does she judge that I will agree to your request?"
"Ann and I talked a lot." Jill folded her arms and recalled what the girl had written. "You are a person who is very good at using resources. It is impossible to obtain without giving, and so on. The most important point, and my thoughts
It coincides with each other——"
She tilted her head and glanced at the silver oil lamp, "You still have a third wish. Everything before is just a preparation for this."
Fermir Stark threw his head back and laughed.
"Well said. I really want to see her, no matter what era." He slowly faded his smile, "However, if she insists on opposing me, maybe the wish I made in the 'future' will not go so smoothly.
It’s come true.”
"Even without her, there are others. There is no shortage of heroes in the world." Jill turned to look out the window and commented without emotion, "There are two members of the 'Lilinono Group' who have not come here.
Look, one of the girls is even more powerful than An."
"That's really exciting. Speaking of which-" Fimmel Stark clenched his fists slightly, "How is she doing in September?"
"She went back, with Alphonse." Gil simply replied, "As for September that belongs here, that's your problem."
The young wizard stood up and exhaled.
"Thank you." He bowed slightly, as if he had let go of some of his burdens, "If possible, I will not let her down again."
"It's up to you." Gil interrupted the other person and watched him sit back down, "Now, it's your turn to abide by the agreement."
"Of course. You, Ariel, Ann and Lily should all know my true wishes." The young wizard leaned his back on the chair and patted the shoulders of the Celestial Clan next to him, "However, your era has experienced
Different history, so I might have received a different answer at that time."
Ariel nodded silently. Jill chuckled softly.
"Many people will know your wish, and then they will find ways to stop you." She grabbed the oil lamp on the table and put it into the hands of the young wizard, "Don't waste time, we have limited time, you understand."
Fimmel Stark said nothing more. He raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and gently rubbed the back of the oil lamp. The oil lamp made a long sound, and the light slowly gathered, coating it with a golden coat. It
Floating into the air, level with the young wizard's eyebrows, he turned the lamp mouth towards him.
"You have fulfilled your second promise, and I have regained all my strength." The voice was low and soft, as if very satisfied, "Now, tell me your true wish."
Fimir took a deep breath and put his hand on the top of the oil lamp.
"I want to destroy the regulations that restrict the divine envoys and destroy the inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years. The power left by my father is originally one, and I need to obtain all the powers to make them one. From now on, there will be no divine envoys in the world, and
There is only one true God left.”
"You have given me a lot of power, but this is a terrible wish." The oil lamp was silent for a long time and made a low echo, "What price can you pay?"
"It's very simple." Fimiel lowered his head and replied softly, "I will destroy the second era."
The oil lamp came closer, and the light illuminated the young wizard's face, dyeing his eyebrows and hair silver. "How can you do it?"
"I will erase people's desires, destroy prejudice, arrogance, laziness and anger, so that the stupid history of the First Era will never happen again." Fimmel closed his eyes without hesitation, as if he had repeated these words countless times.
, "Regardless of race, today's human beings will all perish. Their souls and bodies will become materials for the creation of intelligent beings in a new era."
"Go on."
"God will no longer be known. Existing beliefs will return to nothingness. Even if there is a new sect, what they believe must be a fake." The young wizard's face showed enthusiasm, but he tried his best to keep his voice calm, "Divinity will exist in everyone.
From now on, there is no difference in strength and talent within one person. The true God who knows the history and the future will guide the way forward and control the destiny, so that the world will never have sorrow and pain."
"You are not Ai Ou, how can you guarantee -"
"When everything goes as planned, I will give up my life to ensure that 'He' is fair and impartial." The genius wizard of the White Tower interrupted the other party and slowed down his speech to make every word clear and clear, "But before that,
Illot, I will give you your freedom. That is a mistake made by humans, and you should not bear the punishment."
The oil lamp hovered in the air, trembling slightly. The sound was endless, like the roar of a giant dragon.
"As the only being who knows cause and effect, you cannot stay in the Aiur continent. There are countless crystal wall systems and more planets in the multiverse, and there must be a territory suitable for you." Fimmel promised 'her', "Or, you
You can follow Io's footsteps. He must be waiting for you."
The oil lamp slowly fell on the long table.
"I can't fulfill your prayer." She spoke after a moment, her voice low and gentle, "I can only give you knowledge. About the divine messenger, about inheritance, about Io and the first era, what I have seen and heard
Everything I have lived. After that, I will fall asleep and wait for the day when you fulfill your promise, even if it never comes."
"Thank you, Illot, for being willing to listen to my unreasonable wishes." Fimmel Stark gently stroked the oil lamp, "I will make good use of that knowledge, both for destruction and rebirth." He vomited slowly.
With a tone of voice, he stood up again and turned his gaze to the black-haired woman and the Celestial Clan next to him, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Ariel bowed and saluted, while Jill chuckled and clapped.
"Exceeded expectations. I can't wait to see Bayard's face when he hears this."
"Who is Bayard?" The young wizard raised his eyebrows.
"Someone you don't know." Jill didn't want to let the other party know more, especially things related to Bayard. She grabbed Ariel's hand and pulled the Celestial Clan to her side, "Can we go?"
"Of course." Femir tapped the oil lamp lightly, "Illot, do me one more favor - connect to the "Realm of Mirrors" here and send them home."
He didn't want what he just said to spread, which was reasonable, Jill thought. But he still kept his promise and let them know his wishes. There is no doubt that Fermir Stark is an idealist, maybe this is why
That's his charm. And what about Bayard?
Probably once, when he was still the ally of Alicia and 'that person', and the supporter behind "The Brigade". This thought reminded her of the past time. After returning, she might find Annaway
Er——it’s best to take Alicia with you and talk about the past together.
A silver-white vortex that almost touched the roof emerged in the study room, and Jill walked into it.
