Two months after the Battle of Melindel, with the help of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, the Regna and the others quietly returned to Meteor City on the Lance continent. And now, in a secluded room, Regner was sitting alone. On the table in front of him was a delicate, enchanted locket, and inside the box was Annelot's soul gem.

Although Regner cherished this soul gem immensely, his gaze at the gem at this time was not friendly, and even hostile.

Regner's face was gloomy, and he stared at the gem for a long time before he spoke softly, "Perro." ”

A milky white light lit up from the inside of the gem, followed by a faint coercion, which they would surely understand if the priest was present that only the will of the true God could inflict such coercion.

"You're finally willing to call me. Pero's voice came from inside the gem.

"......" Regner was silent for a moment, then asked, "I have a lot to ask you." Your answer will determine my attitude. ”

"I like this way of communicating. Perrot said, "So what do you want to ask?"

"Is this gem real?" Regner was the first to ask his own questions.

"Don't question God's credibility, you know the answer, don't you?"

"Where is the other half of Anne's soul?" Regner asked.

"Right here for me, half of the soul of that believer, I have preserved it very well. Perot's voice was like a demonic bewitchment: "I can give them all back to you." ”

"What do I need to do?" Regner asked as he seemed indifferent.

"Naraku. Perot only uttered one name.

"You expect a mortal to take out an opponent that the Sun God can't solve?" Regna sneered.

"Goodbye then!" Perrot was very crisp and neat.

"Wait!" Regner finally panicked, leaning forward and shouting.

"Know where you stand, mortal. Pei Luo said lightly: "The battle between me and Naraku has been going on for an unknown number of thousands of years, and I don't care about spending another few thousand years with that skeleton. But you are different, everything you have is in my hands. You have only two choices, either submit to my will, or you will never want to have these two broken souls. ”

"Whew......" Regner gasped for air as if he had exercised vigorously, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You must keep your promise in time." ”

"Of course!" Perro's voice was filled with a smile, and the soul gem lit up with a silvery white light. Regner took a closer look at the soul gem, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the light actually had Erin's breath in it!

"This soul fragment should be considered as an advance I gave you. Perro said, "Soul splitting and merging is not a very rare spell, and I think you will get a way to fuse souls again from High Priests and High Necromancers. ”

Regner looked at the soul gem and finally nodded, "I see, I'll do something for you." ”

"Very well, then go and verify my integrity first. I need a faithful apostle to walk the mortal world for me, and when you have fully believed in me, I will tell you what lies ahead. After Pero finished speaking, the light of the ball of light dimmed.

Regner was silent for a moment, then he put away the soul gem and walked out of the hut.

"Now, you already believe me, right?" another voice sounded in Regner's head: "I am not an ordinary mortal at all, but an existence created by Pero's divine consciousness and divine power. Decades ago, when Dacrode's divine powers reappeared, Perrault hatched the plan with a glimpse into the future. Although a lot of things have happened in this process, no matter what, you are ...... now No, or the power of Dacrode, after all, became Perro's weapon against Naraku. ”

"Even if what you say is true, then why should I help you?" Regner asked rhetorically.

Nidhogg smiled ugly, and he said lightly, "Because I gave you hope." ”

"......" Regner was silent, he knew what Nidhogg was referring to - in the battle between himself and Nidhogg two months ago, Nidhogg handed over the six elemental essences in his body to Ragner at the last moment. And that thing is another key to reshaping Annelot's body and resurrecting Annelot. Although Riegner's current situation has nothing to do with Niederhogg, in any case, Niedhoven chose to bet all his hopes on Regner in the end. He believed that Regner was the one who had more hope of getting out of the game of the gods than he was.

And now, Nidhogg's offer of help is not a request, nor an exchange, but a plea. Nidhogg's true soul has returned to Perro's consciousness, and what remains in Regna's sea of knowledge now is nothing more than the remnants of Nidhogg's magic memory. He didn't have enough capital to trade with Regner, and he couldn't hold Ragner to his lifeline like Perro. The only thing that the legendary mage who was once invincible can count on now is to be able to help himself for the sake of giving his last hope to Regner before he dies after he gets out of his predicament.

"I can't guarantee that. Regner finally replied: "But I can guarantee that neither Pero nor Naraku will let them go." ”

"Enough, thanks, enough......" was Niederhogg's last message to Regner.

Regner silently took the small box out of his dimensional pocket, and the soul gem was still lying quietly in the center of the box.

Regner looked at the gem for a moment, then said softly, "Wait for me......"
