Oeve rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, then pointed to the Ouroboros armband on her upper arm and looked at Friedlier and asked, "Is this what you said?" ”

Friedlear looked closely at the silver Ouroboros armband on her arm again, then nodded.

Oeve hesitated and said, "This is what my mother gave me. ”

"Your mother..? Why not your father? Friedreer asked.

"Why can't it be my mother? Does my father, who is a duke, have everything? Oeve asked.

"Well, that's not what I meant." "I want to know, is this an heirloom that your mother gave you?" ”

Oeve looked at Friedlier and nodded.

Friedlear thought for a moment and asked, "This item... It must have been inherited by your mother from your grandmother's or grandfather's ancestors, right? ”

Oeve was a little surprised to hear Friedlier ask, and she immediately asked, "Why do you ask?" ”

"I'm just curious and asking." Friedlier smiled and said, "It seems that this thing has indeed been handed down to you by your ancestors. ”

Oeve looked at her armband and whispered, "Yes, this is indeed a family heirloom handed down to me by my distant ancestors, it is also an item of great significance to me personally. ”

"Something significant?" Friedlier asked curiously, "Can you tell me a story about this item?" I'd love to hear about it. ”

After looking at Friedlier for a moment, Oiff nodded lightly and said, "Well, I can tell you about it, but you must keep it a secret. ”

"Oh, of course, I'll keep it a secret." Friedlier said.

"This armband of mine is very old, and its origin goes back a long way, even to the first age after the creation of the gods." "It is said that the people of that era were still in darkness and fear, and they did not build houses to defend against wild beasts, nor did they use fire to drive away wild beasts, nor did they roast them for warmth, nor did they grow agricultural crops or domesticate animals for food. At that time, it was difficult for people to talk about any kind of life, and they were almost indistinguishable from wild animals. ”

Friedreel nodded.

Oiff continued, "Those years of drinking blood have lasted for a long, long time, and the ancient people have been confused and struggling for a long, long time in hunger and cold, and although it is difficult to survive, the ancestors have never given up, they have been waiting. Eventually, after countless centuries, they finally waited for the arrival of the nine great ancestors. ”

"Nine Ancestors?" Friedlier asked.

Oeve nodded lightly and continued, "Nine great ancestors who brought the first light and hope to humanity in the midst of darkness and fear. The nine of them taught people how to build houses, how to make fires, how to grow plants, how to domesticate animals, how to open canals for irrigation, and so on. Thanks to their teachings, primitive humans were finally completely separated from wild beasts and entered a new era full of light and hope. ”

"Oh, so are they the Landi people they teach or the Garlands?" Friedlier asked.

"Everyone." "Over the tumultuous years of thousands of centuries, brave men passed on their wisdom to every corner of the world, to everyone. ”

Friedlear tilted his head and said, "Okay, go ahead and talk about your armbands." ”

"This armband of mine is an item handed down by one of the nine great ancestors." "Each of the nine of them has a unique Ouroboros item to pass on to future generations. It is said that if the Philosopher's Stone is used as a medium to refine these nine Ouroboros items left by the nine great ancestors, it is the way to open the door to truth. It can be said that these nine items are the nine keys that open the door of truth. ”

"I see, no wonder you want me to keep it a secret." Friedlier then asked, "Are you a descendant of one of the nine great ancestors?" ”

"Yes." Oeve nodded, "And that great ancestor was a woman. ”

"A woman, what does she teach people?" Friedlier asked.

"I don't know." Oiff looked at the armband and said.

"Well, what kind of items did each of the other nine great ancestors leave behind to their descendants?" Friedlear asked, "It's not all armbands, are they... A ring? ”

Oeve sat up straight suddenly, she looked at Friedlier in surprise and asked urgently, "How do you know?" Did you see something in your diary? ”

"No, it doesn't have that in the diary." "It's just that I have a ring, which my ancestors passed down to me. ”

"What kind of ring is that?" Oeve asked.

"I wanted to tell you the first time I met you, but I didn't know your language at the time." "Then I pointed to the emblem on your sword. Then he pointed to my finger without a ring. You didn't understand what I meant at the time. ”

Oive's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Looks like you understand now. Yes, an Ouroboros ring like the one on your sword. Friedlier said.

"Is that a black Ouroboros ring?" Eve asked in surprise, "Won't the light be reflected on it?" ”

"Yes, but how do you know?" Friedlier asked curiously.

"Oh my God.," Oeve pounced on Friedrell in surprise and excitement, and then she got up and took Friedrel's arm and continued, "Friedrear, I know the ring, and that ring is the only Ouroboros item I know of other than the one I am carrying. If you're right, that ring is one of the nine keys I'm talking about. ”

"Really? It seems that the ring is more than just a token of my father's and my mother's love. Friedlier said.

"Friedrear, what about your ring? Something so important, why didn't you take it with you? Oiffle took Friedley's hands, and she took turns looking at his fingers and said, "I noticed your ten fingers before, and you never had that ring with you. ”

Friedlear spread his hands and said, "Yes, I gave it away." ”

Oeve was immediately shocked by Friedley's words, "What did you say? ”

"I gave it away." Friedlier said.

"You gave away such an important ring?" Oeve asked in surprise.

"Yes, I was not sure of victory before the battle with the Athols, so I gave away important things before the battle." Friedlier said.

"And who did you give the ring to?" Oeve asked curiously.

"Of course it's a very important person in my heart." Friedlier smiled and said, "A woman." ”

Oeve was stunned for a moment, and then hung her head a little lonely.

"Alright, Miss." "If you need that ring to open some doors, I'll help you." ”

Owe looked up at Friedreel, then stepped forward and hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Friedrear." Owe whispered over Friedrie's shoulder.

"Do you need to be thankful for this, it's just a gesture." Friedleer then said, "Miss O'Eve, I'm curious to know, where did you know what my ring looks like?" Especially the feature that it doesn't reflect. ”

"That's what our president told me." O'Eve said.

"Has he seen my ring?" Friedlier asked.

"This," said Oeve after a moment's thought, "I don't know, he may have seen it." ”

"Tell me, who is he, President?" Friedlier asked.

"I can't really say." O'Eve, a little confused, said, "It's about too many things, and when you have the opportunity to meet him in the future, you'll understand why I can't say it." ”

"Well, I'm not forcing you." Friedlier pondered for a moment before asking, "Can you tell me when you joined the Ouroboros, Oive?" ”

"About five years ago, when I was thirteen." "What's wrong?" ”

"Does he know about this Ouroboros armband?" Friedlier asked.

"No, he doesn't." "I haven't decided to tell him about it. ”

Friedlier nodded and said, "He must also want to collect all nine items and open the door to truth through the Philosopher's Stone, right?" ”

"Of course he wants to." "Not only him, but all alchemists do, but it's too difficult. While many alchemists regard collecting the nine items and finding the Philosopher's Stone to open the door to truth as the ultimate pursuit, most people find it too difficult to pursue this pursuit. The president must have felt that it was too difficult, so his current task for the plenary meeting was to let everyone focus on finding the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Is it that hard to collect nine items? Does this seem more difficult than finding the Philosopher's Stone? Friedreer asked.

"Yes, it's very difficult, it's far more difficult than finding the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone has appeared many times in the past and has been found by many people. But those nine items had never been collected before. "Actually, not to mention collecting nine items, even the person who has seen two of them so far, you are the first in recorded history." ”

"Oh, it's an honor." Friedleer said, "It seems that it will be very difficult to find these nine items, but you still want to complete it?" ”

Oeve nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I want to finish it, to accomplish something great that no one has ever done before." ”

"I'm starting to admire your courage a little." "It sounds as crazy as a guy saying he's going to conquer the whole world." That's something no one has ever done before. ”

Oeve smiled lightly and asked Friedlier, "Do you want to conquer the whole world?" ”

"I used to think about it when I was a kid." Friedlier said.

"And now? Don't want to think about it now? Oeve asked.

"Now," said Friedriehl, hesitating, "I want to do that now, too." ”

"If you want to, then try to make it happen." O'Eve said.
