Without waiting for Crane to respond, Azik, who was staring at the depths of the mausoleum, said to himself:

"I remember the first time I died and came back to life, lying in a pale corpse, staggering to my feet, terrified, not knowing what had happened or where I was.

"I stumbled away before the church people collected the corpses for purification, wandering like a wandering spirit between the wilderness, the countryside and the city, unable to remember who I was or where I came from.

"During that time, everywhere I went, I could hear a lot of cries, and I saw the priests presiding over a large number of burial ceremonies, and I felt sadness pervading every corner.

"Later, I accidentally rescued a noble girl and entered her family's manor, she was a sunny and cheerful girl, and I was like a beast out of the forest, sensitive, suspicious, inferior, afraid, and often showed a cold, indifferent, cruel, and immoral side.

"She was curious about me, no matter how I avoided her or did bad things, she would approach me, infect me with her smile, influence me with funny things, and before I knew it, I got used to her teasing and got used to her presence.

"We walked quietly together, and she was worried, afraid that her father would not approve of her marrying a former homeless man and now a servant.

"Seeing her smile dyed with sadness, I had for the first time a feeling that my blood was boiling, and I impulsively told her that I was leaving here, but would come back with the knighthood and the wreath for the bride.

"I went to the army, I became a knight, I carried a three-meter long cavalry spear, rushed to the enemy, and in the chaos of the remnants of the Northern Continent at the end of the Quaternary Period, I became a baron and had my own fiefdom.

"I did what I promised, and took the king's edict, the family coat of arms, the knight's ribbon, and the wreath I had braided, and married my bride. ”

Speaking of this, the expression on Azk's face gradually softened, as if he was reminiscing and remembering something, and even the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curled.

Crane's heart moved, and he seemed to see the familiar Mr. Azik again.

"And then?" he cautiously began.

Azik stared ahead:

"Later...... Later, we built a castle in our fiefdom and had a child, a boy who grew up very fast, and it was foreseeable that he would grow tall and burly in the future.

"He loved martial arts, always running around with a broadsword in tow, saying he wanted to be a knight.

"I thought it was just a child's hobby for a while, and it was difficult to stick to it, but even if he broke his leg and bruised his head, he still didn't give up practicing, he thought that hiding in the room with a distorted expression and covering the wound, I wouldn't be able to see, hehe, he underestimated his father too much, and the spirits of the whole territory were secretly serving me.

"As the years passed, I got back more and more memories, my wife kept complaining that the castle was too dark and wanted to go to a sunny and warm place, and I fulfilled her request, but it was not until much later that I realized that she did not hate living in the castle, but was afraid of the little changes that had happened to me, and the fear of me becoming more and more cold and strange.

"She didn't tell me about these things, she still got along with me as she used to, we had a good life by the sea in the south, and even wanted to have another child, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

"It wasn't until I had a hunch that my next death was imminent that we returned to the fiefdom and returned to the castle.

"My eldest son, the boy, told me that he wanted to go to Beckland and become a squire to the viscounts and counts, and to begin his own knightly path.

I asked him why he had to make such a choice when he was a teenager, and he replied to me because I was his idol and role model, and he wanted to become a knight and a nobleman like me, not by my father and mother.

"At that time, I had recovered most of my memories, and I was always a little embarrassed, unfamiliar and uncomfortable in the face of this child, but when I heard his answer, I still felt an indescribable joy, satisfaction and pride in my heart, this is my child, a completely different child from the blood I left behind in the Bailang Empire. ”

Klein knew that Mr. Azik was referring to his identity as "the first Baron Rumder", and that the child who had made him proud and contented had been poisoned and crucified in a coffin in his old age or middle age, and even his skull had been taken by Ince Zangwill.

Azk's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he said:

"I died again, woke up in a daze, instinctively stayed away from the fiefdom, under the pre-arrangement, wandered to other places, every time in the previous part of each life, I have a different life, sometimes I encounter sweet love, sometimes I get a pampered daughter, that kind of love from the heart, helplessness, satisfaction again and again makes me stunned, confused, contradictory.

"Once, I was a filial son, bringing pride to my parents, bringing a good life, bringing lovely grandchildren and granddaughters, but when I 'woke up' and found myself, I remembered that at the end of my last life, I ignored their real son who died on the battlefield and occupied this identity, I felt pain and guilt on the one hand, and on the other hand I thought it was nothing, just a small thing, and my heart seemed to be split into two people.

"At that time, I had a mask that allowed me to turn into anyone, but I lost it after an awakening, which may have been lost by myself......"

Crane remembered the daughter whom Mr. Azik had mentioned that liked to ask him for candy, and after a moment's consideration, he spoke:

"I don't think you're split, you're fighting a crazy spirit.

"After losing the memories of the past, you start a new life again and again, you are kind, enthusiastic, and full of emotions, and the closer you are to your current life, the more you should be able to reflect this.

"This may be the real you, the essence of you, and you during the time of the Archon of Death were influenced by the uncontrollable tendencies inherent in the extraordinary traits, and by the Grim Reaper, who passed down from the high position, I heard, he had gone mad after the 'War of the Four Emperors'. ”

Klein's words didn't really have much basis, because there were only a few episodes of Azik's life that he knew—Baron Ramd, a father who made his daughter's swing, a filial child, and a gentle and friendly history teacher.

His purpose is to provide a guess, a possibility, to help Mr. Azik fight against the "Death Archon Character" that comes back with his memories, so that he can face up to himself in the past part of his life, so that he can reach some kind of reconciliation with himself and become less ruthless.

As he spoke, he suddenly had a new idea, and without waiting for Azik to digest what he had just said, he hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Azik, do you know the anchor, the anchor that the gods and angels hold themselves in place, not being dragged down by the uncontrollable tendencies and insane nature of extraordinary traits?"

"Yes. Azik retracted his gaze and nodded.

Klein wasn't too sure, but said in a rather firm tone:

"Perhaps, the new life you started by losing your memory again and again is your anchor against madness and loss of control!"

Don't throw them away, don't forget them, it's who you are!" Klein silently added in his heart after saying that.

"Anchor ......," Azik repeated, his expression bewildered and confused.

I don't know how long it took, he suddenly sighed and said:

"This may be an explanation, at least to make the division and conflict on the spiritual level less intense.

"However, now that I have come here, I still have to go to the depths of the mausoleum to see what is hidden there, why it is calling me, and what caused me to die and rise again and again, lose my memory again and again and gradually find it......

"It's been bothering me for more than a thousand years, it's been bothering me over and over again, and I think I should be able to get an answer today. ”

His gaze gradually became clear, and his tone seemed soft but indescribably determined.

Klein tried to stop it, but when his mouth opened, he pursed it again.

Azik pressed the half-height silk top hat on his head, without turning his head, and smiled gently:

"Remember to close your eyes. ”

With that, he walked forward, up the stairs, into the depths of the gloomy mausoleum.

The black mist that filled there did not let out any more breathing, and slowly spread out in all directions, and the illusory things entrenched at the bottom appeared little by little.

It was a feathered serpent so big that it seemed to take over an island!

It had huge scales that were dark and black, and between the cracks grew feathers stained with light butter, and on each feather, there were illusory black tubes extending out.

This exaggerated feathered serpent is both illusory and real, and its more specific shapes are difficult to describe, and seem to have compositions that humans cannot comprehend.

It has pale flames burning in its eye sockets, and its face is that of a human being!

That face was bronze, with soft facial features, and a small black mole under the right ear, like another Azik Eggers!
