Chapter 414 She and the Abyss Watcher
The autumn wind gently blew through the maple forest outside Beauxbaton, making a rustling sound. The fallen leaves fell from the air, and then slowly swirled and fell into the river.
In the rushing waves are fragmented maple leaves, and hidden in the waves is the colorful light of Beauxbaton's shutters.
"Long time no see, Anna." She quietly walked into the room and looked at the portrait, showing a relieved smile: "I also miss that sense of satisfaction for too long..."
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Anna in the portrait had a complex expression. She just looked at another self and felt a little touch. It was the breeze called memories blowing her heartstrings.
"It's very simple." Anna from Wulasilu pulled up the chair and sat down. When she met Ash's eyes, she curled her lips: "Can't you sit still?"
"..." Ash shook his head silently, and then leaned against the window by himself. His mood was a little complicated for a while, because he could feel that Anna might be leaving.
It's not that he is reluctant, but there is an inexplicable sadness, and Ash can feel that those familiar people are slowly disappearing.
"What I want to talk about is related to the ruins." Anna said, picking up the honey tea on the table and taking a sip: "It's the ruins that separated us."
"I don't know what's going on inside." Anna in the portrait shook her head. She put down the coffee cup in her hand and shook her head thoughtfully.
"That darkness devoured us." Anna drank the honey tea in one gulp, and then said flatly, "It also devoured everyone accompanying me."
"But we are wizards... so we survived." Anna lightly took out her wand, as if recalling those days: "We feed on rotten fruit." A bag of Zizi honey candy was opened.
"Nice candy..." she continued chewing honey candy, "However, the darkness finally dissipated, and I found that I was actually in a huge abandoned city." Anna said with a smile: "Just when I was a little melancholy I met an interesting person while I was there."
Abyss walker? "Ash raised his head and asked. At first glance, it sounds like Anna and Abyss Walker are not from the same era, but after careful consideration, the time in Ula Siluri is different from the outside world... There is a bit of logic in all of that.
"Hmm." Anna nodded and looked at Ash: "It's just that he calls himself Artorius, and he also has a cute puppy."
"Maybe it's not a dog, maybe a wolf?" Anna scratched her hair and said, "It's just that I got a little fat."
Seeing Ash go silent, she continued to speak to herself: "He helped me a lot, taught me to use magic, spells, and manipulate the soul."
"He's very versatile, isn't he?" Anna seemed to miss that time very much, and the corners of her mouth could not stop rising.
And Anna in the portrait was silent, she seemed to understand more and more what she was talking about, or in other words, she remembered what she was talking about.
"Then, during a process of manipulating the soul, I made a mistake..." Anna shook her head and said, "Accidentally, I shattered my soul fragment into four pieces."
Ash was slightly taken aback, broken into four pieces?What kind of magic experiment did she do?
"You must be curious about what I did, right?" Anna said casually, "It made me suffer so much."
She looked at the thoughtful Ash and said, "I was trying to tame the darkness."
"Huh?" Ash shook his head immediately: "Although dark art comes from the abyss, it borrows the connection between the soul and the abyss."
"That's far from the level of taming the darkness." You know, there are more than a few people who try to tame the abyss in Bihaim. Mu was delisted and died in the dark.
Anna listened to Ash's analysis, she nodded: "So I didn't succeed... The terrible darkness tore my soul apart..."
"But fortunately, except for one piece of soul that left Ulasiru, the other souls are still inside."
"So, it took me hundreds of years? Or longer to find them." Anna said and shook her head: "It's like playing a jigsaw puzzle."
"But the story is not limited to this." Anna interrupted the portrait Anna who was about to speak: "Artorius wants to go deeper, and as his apprentice, I will accompany him."
"We finally came to the center of Ulasiru, which is the gate leading to a deeper place." Anna shook her head suddenly when she said this: "But it doesn't matter what the result is..."
"You just need to know that I saw terrible things and understood terrible things." Anna said that the voice had become very small, and she seemed to be hesitating whether to say all that.
In the end, she still sighed and said: "I discovered that the master behind the abyss... comes from the flame."
"Flame?" Anna in the portrait was taken aback, and Phil, who was eating nuts, was also taken aback. They didn't know what it meant?
"Oh? Didn't you tell them?" Anna looked at Ash in surprise.
"Of course not." Ash shook his head: "It's not good for them to know too much." No matter what the secret is, the more people who know it, the more dangerous it is.
Ash naturally knew this truth well. Of course, there were many reasons why Ash didn't tell them. After all, he couldn't tell them that he was here to kill all the guys with strong souls here, and then seize the power of this world, right?
This is too unreasonable, but it has a taste of those beliefs.
However, what Anna said about the connection with the flame really surprised Ash, which means that the power of the abyss probably comes from the primordial fire... Doesn't that mean that as long as the primordial fire burns...the abyss will last forever won't disappear?
"They are like oil and clear water in a bowl of water. The more oil, the less water, and the more water, the less oil..." Anna's popular ending made Ash nodded: "Who told you this? "
After a long silence, Anna said, "Because I saw Him."
"Him?" Ash's pupils slowly dilated: "The Lord of the Abyss?"
"Hmm..." Anna nodded silently, she didn't seem to want to discuss the name too much, it seemed to put a lot of psychological pressure on her.
"But why are you..." Ash looked at Anna and shook his head lightly, the woman in front of him was obviously not his match...
"Artorius paid a lot." Anna shook her head succinctly: "But anyway... I see it."
"Through his eyes, I saw flames." Anna said quietly: "And the flames are full of greed..."
"Flame..." Ash nodded slightly: "The first ray of flame was born...attracting the surrounding creatures."
"King Gwen, the first dead, the witch of Izaris got the flame..." Ash thought for a while and said, "Then, whose flame did this Lord of the Abyss get?"
"I don't know about that." Anna shook her head, "I don't care about your affairs either..."
As she said that, she looked at Anna who had been silent all the time: "So, have you remembered all that?"
"..." Anna in the portrait lowered her head, she thought of too many things...the Florens family, Royce, that era...and that man...
"Al...Terius..." Anna read out his name softly: "The Four Horsemen of Your Majesty..."
"I want to find him." Anna who was sitting on the chair raised her head: "We will rescue him...I can feel...he is not dead."
"Save him..." Anna in the portrait flashed before her eyes one after another. It was everything that happened in Ulasiru, including the dark curtain, the burning bonfire, the howling of wolves under the moonlight, and his unnerving shoulders of trust.
"I understand." Anna in the portrait nodded slightly, and she focused on Ash and Phil: "Maybe, I have to leave for a while..."
"Don't worry, we didn't kill anyone, we just merged into one." Anna, who was sitting on the chair, smiled slightly: "It's like, we are one in the first place."
"..." Ash looked at Anna in the portrait and nodded: "Have you decided? I will respect your choice."
"..."
"Thank you, Ash...and thank you, Phil." Anna in the portrait smiled. "The days I stayed at Hogwarts were the most stable... and the happiest I have ever spent."
"Goodbye, or, let's see you with another face."
…………
The heavy rain in Losric finally stopped, and with the rest of the rainstorm, the sun poked out its head again.
The sun shone on the inner city wall of Losric, where some soldiers walked slowly with long guns in hand.
"Captain Kaval." A Losric knight bowed slightly to the woman in front of him: "Your friend is already awake."
"Are you awake?" Rhodean showed a forced smile, and she put the sun amulet in her pocket: "I'll go see him."
As she spoke, she propped herself up against the wall, and picked up a Lothric long sword lying on the ground.
"You must continue to guard the outer city..." Rhodean looked at the dilapidated town under the towering city wall: "They are still increasing."
"It's okay, captain..." The knight took off his mask to reveal his face that had turned into a living corpse: "This is our mission."
"From birth to death."
"Hmm..." Rhodean replied noncommittally, and then lightly patted the knight on the shoulder.
This country... no longer exists...
Glancing at the tall tower in the inner city, Rhodean walked to the tower on the edge of the city wall.
This is where Ashmir rested. After he fainted, Rodean brought him here.
"Squeak!" Rhodean carefully pushed open the wooden door, but just as he took a step, he heard Ashmir's voice: "Are you here?"
"Hmm..." Rhodean nodded slightly, and then lit the lantern with the torch in his hand.
"How do you feel?" Rhodean looked at Ashemir who was sitting by the bed and said, "I didn't expect that... Is that the salary king?" She smiled and said, "You really opened my eyes. .”
"Yeah..." Ashmir said softly, with no emotion on his face, he just held the half of the talisman in his hand and said, "But she died."
"Her matter..."
"Her name is Sophia." Ashemir interrupted Rhodean: "Her...her name is Sophia..."
"Well..." Rhodean nodded: "Sofia... I'm sorry about her..."
"I'm too persistent." Ashmir sighed with a smile: "Whether it's running wolf or the sun... can't save us in the end."
He shook his head under Rhodean's surprised eyes: "You can only kill all the darkness." Then, he stood up and picked up the pointed helmet on the window sill.
Although it had been soaked in flames yesterday, it looked unmistakably new.
"Forgive me, Rhodean." Ashemil put on his helmet, "I'm leaving, and I won't follow you to the Fire Passing Sacrificial Ground." He said as he put on the iron mask, revealing his silver-gray hair and chin.
"I'm going to visit Ulasiru." He looked into Rhodean's eyes and said, "There is always only one ending for the undead team, and that is to be exhausted in the abyss like Artorius."
"That's too dangerous..." Rhodean shook his head: "Maybe you should wait... Ashes..."
"No need." Ashmir shook his head: "I always thought that I lived because of my responsibility, but now I understand...I live because of her..." He looked at the Order of the Sun in his hand and shook his head lightly.
"This talisman... also dragged us down." He said as he tore off the talisman, and then gently rubbed its lines with his fingers.
"You need this, right?" Ashemir looked at Rhodean and nodded slightly: "I think you need this."
He handed the talisman to Rhodean, and then showed a smile: "Look, sometimes it can make people feel a lot easier."
"Ashemir...I'll go with you." Rhodean grabbed his shoulders: "When I hand this talisman to Ashes, you and I..."
"No need, Rhodean." Ashmir shook his head: "You are Lothric's chief knight and his best friend... I think Ashes will need you."
"Especially when he returned to Rhodeland." Ashemir embraced Rhodean with open arms: "When I felt the flames, I saw a battlefield covered with white flowers."
"There is the center of the primordial fire, Ashes will need your help to fight against that powerful enemy."
"I understand..." Rhodean pressed Ashemir's head lightly and said in an almost faint voice, "May King Gwen bless you... my friend."
"Don't worry, Rhodean." Ashemir whistled softly to call the running wolf: "We will meet again, I have this hunch."
