I remembered that this voice, this heart-warming feeling, was the person who gave her hope, her name was, her name was - the future.

"Hold on to the light within yourself, and it will get you out of trouble. ”

I'm sorry, father, but I forgot what you left me. I'm sorry, my friends.

Rico threw away the dagger in her hand and hugged the phantom in front of her. The phantasm had a clear appearance, and it was a very ordinary face.

She pressed her ear to Rico's ear and whispered, "May the redbud, a symbol of friendship, bring you eternal friendship." With that, it turned into a point of light and dissipated.

Rico wiped away her tears, and the dazzling light reappeared in her eyes, her face full of determination.

"Holy Spirit Sword. A golden sword appeared in Lico's hand, she raised the sword high above her head, pointed at the void, and said firmly: "My future does not need to be decided by others, my fate is in my hands, you guy who made me forget my friends, disappear from my eyes." ”

"Holy Light God Demon Slash. "A huge golden slash slashed towards the void with a magnificent momentum.

The endless darkness, illuminated by the light, slowly turns into holy gold.

At this moment, an old voice sounded.

"Inheritor, congratulations on becoming the first person in thousands of years to pass the purification ritual. ”

"Purification ritual? Who are you? Why do you say it's a purification ritual? ”

"Inheritor, there is no doubt that this is the ritual of purification. And I'm the first generation of light magicians. ”

"What!First generation light mage!How is this possible?" Rico was shocked, unable to believe what she had heard.

"Don't be surprised, I'm not myself, just a touch of consciousness left over from the ritual during my lifetime. ”

"I'm sorry, the junior was rude, please forgive me. With that, Rico bowed into the void. I asked him, "Can you please explain your doubts to the juniors?"

"I know what you want to ask. You want to know, after the ritual, why the feelings have not been erased. ”

"Hmm. Rico nodded, the biggest doubt in her mind.

"Well, it's my fault. Before I died, I told my disciples and descendants that a light mage must maintain its proper holiness in order to purify the world. Holiness here means keeping one's own light as it should be, but I never thought that my heirs had misinterpreted me. He even thought that he should have no desires and no desires in order to maintain the holiness of the light.

This purification ritual is used to pass on my power, and I have set a mental test in this circle. Test whether they can hold fast to their light. If he fails, his feelings will be sealed until he regains his light. However, because of the misinterpretation of the predecessors, no one has been able to successfully pass the ceremony, so it has become what it is now. I am in this formation, watching the descendants become emotionless one by one, and I am very sad about this, but there is no way to change it. There was a deep weakness in the old man's voice.

It turns out that the truth turned out to be like this. Rico was now very sad in her heart, and she felt sorry for the heirs of the temple through the ages. Unexpectedly, because of one person's mistake, the light magician was so persecuted.

"And how did I get into this ritual? Wasn't I fighting against the Holy Light Pegasus?" Rico thought to herself.

"Because the Holy Light Pegasus has judged you in light. ”

"Judgment of light, I see. It dawned on Rico.

The Light Judgment is used to judge whether a light magician is qualified, and in a sense, it is very similar to the function of the purification ritual. Every generation of temple masters had to go through this trial, but without exception, no one passed, and then the Holy Light Pegasus no longer came to the Temple of Light, and the process was canceled.

"Thank you, Inheritor, for your presence so that the mistake can finally be corrected. The fate of the light mage will be changed by you. The old man's voice was filled with joy.

After so many years of watching the sad fate of the heirs of the temple, his heart was filled with grief, and he kept praying to God that someone could correct his mistakes, and now it has finally come true.

Rico shook her head and said, "No, you shouldn't thank me. If it weren't for that person, I would have been one of the many heirs. ”

"Oh, is that the girl?" he thought of the girl who had turned into an illusion.

"Yes, she is the one who has helped me to keep my light. She is the most important person to me. ”

"She's a magical girl, heir, and you're in luck. ”

"Well, my greatest luck was to meet her. Lico replied in the affirmative.

"Well, now. Inheritor, accept my legacy. ”

"Well, thank you for protecting the light mages for so long. Rico bowed to the void again, and at the same time, a beam of golden light shot through Rico's brow.

"Alright, it's time for you to go back, thank that girl for me. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Rico fainted.
