"But then again, why are you in such a place? Does this crystal have anything to do with Maia?"

"You should be able to feel it. The white-robed man said, "The energy released by this crystal is incomparably powerful, and there should be only one person who can do this level." ”

"God. Renault blurted out without even thinking about it, "I guess it's right, it's the power of God, and that's why my Word pulsates so strongly." ”

"Completely correct, after all these years, your reaction is still so sharp. The white-robed man smiled slightly.

So, Maia's power is inextricably linked to God. Renault had already deduced part of the truth, "I felt it once before, and that was the first time I met you. ”

"Ah, I remember. That was the first time you realized the awakening, and the power of your soul resonated strongly with the power of me, and that was when the two of us really met. ”

"I was shocked at the time. Reynolds clearly remembers the experience with relish, "You know, I never imagined the figurative image of the sword in my hand." ”

"I'm just helping you to control the rampage of the power in your body. The white-robed man smiled, "I felt your consciousness at that moment, you are the one who can fight side by side with me, I recognize you." ”

"Thank you a lot for that. "But if you're here now, isn't there no more of your presence in Shore's hands now?"

"My body is already in tatters. The white-robed man sighed softly, "As early as thousands of years ago, I didn't know how many parts it was divided, and after so many years, my original memories have almost disappeared. ”

"What do you mean?" Renault suddenly realized that things weren't as simple as he thought.

"Actually, I can't even remember why I existed, I have lost many important memories, and now I am just a form that exists with the help of God's power, my origin is still in Maia, but his memory may not have been restored. ”

"Maia has been reforged. Renault said the specific situation of Maia now, "Now Maia has become a pair of twin swords, I'm afraid your origin has been broken into an unknown existence." ”

"Quite the opposite. The white-robed man smiled after hearing what Renault said, "In this way, I have returned to my true form, which was the true appearance of me thousands of years ago." ”

"What do you say?" asked Renault.

"Thousands of years ago, for some important reasons, sorry, for what exactly reason is missing in my memory, I will tell you in general terms what happened thousands of years ago. ”

"It's okay. Renault replied, "I can understand your current difficulties, you just have to tell me what you can think of." ”

"Then I'll continue. The white-robed man then said, "Thousands of years ago, God himself came to the earth, and he disguised himself as an ordinary person, and he came this time for only one purpose, and that was to forge a holy sword capable of destroying evil. ”

He found the most famous blacksmith of the time, and revealed himself to him, and the blacksmith fell to his knees in fright, but God kindly told him to sit down face to face with him and talk, and they talked for a whole day, until at last the blacksmith accepted the task with great respect. ”

The blacksmith forged the scales of the dragon and the feathers of the angels given to him by God and made them hard steel, a process that lasted seven days and seven nights, and the blacksmith forged two identical executioners according to God's instructions, and finally it was time to cool the blade completely. ”

God came again at this time, and he looked at the two swords in front of him with a complicated expression, and he asked the blacksmith for a short knife, and then immediately slashed his own arm, dripping blood on the blade that had not yet cooled. ”

The blacksmith immediately stepped forward to stop him, but God smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him, and the blacksmith looked into God's eyes, and those eyes told him that he had to do this, and although the blacksmith did not understand until the end, God had completed the final process of forging the sword. ”

"'The name of the sword is Maia, a name that signifies a strong will that will not give in, and the bearer must have the courage to fight even against the gods, and he will save the world at some point in the future, and that day will come. ’”

After saying these words, God departed, and before leaving, she only said these last words to the blacksmith: 'I now give you these two swords for safekeeping, and when the one who can truly inherit them appears, your mission will be accomplished.' ’”

The white-robed man paused for a moment at this point, while Renaud was completely immersed in the story he had just told, and it took a long time for him to snap back slightly.

"That blacksmith is my ancestor. Renault looked at the white-robed man and asked, "Did my ancestors forge you, and then passed down from generation to generation, and finally passed on to me?"

"That's right. The white-robed man nodded, "My consciousness was given by God, so I have memories of all this, but then something happened that caused my memory to be completely torn apart. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Human desires don't stop, and when someone learns this story, they naturally become greedy. The white-robed man sighed, "What I said is relatively clear, you should be able to guess what happened." ”

"Did one of my ancestors want to take you for himself because he was greedy?" Renault couldn't believe it was the case, but there was no other reason than that.

"Ruz Ike, a great crusader with whom I fought alongside him, I recognized him even though he did not possess exactly the qualities that God required. ”

"Is this the name of my ancestor?" asked Renault, "since he has your approval, he shouldn't have done anything like that." ”

"He's too proud, because he's so strong, the proud demon Mephistopheles has his eyes on him, and he keeps bewitching Luce, although the result is hard to accept, but I must say that Luce still lost to Mephistopheles in the end!"

"The human heart is fragile. Renault couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Just like me, he has also embarked on a wrong path." ”

"Luce decided to reforge me in order to be able to control me completely, and my memories were devastated by this reforge, and I lost many important memories, even the task God gave me. ”

"Once you fall into darkness, you will be eaten by darkness. "If I'm right," said Reynolds, "my ancestors must have been consumed by the darkness that arose in their hearts." ”

"Yes, he fell into darkness and was finally killed by his family, but my memory is irreversible, and I don't remember the important task God gave me at all, which is really a headache for the Master. ”

"Isn't the mission God has given you so that you can find someone who is strong enough to fight against the darkness that threatens the whole world?" asked Renault, frowning.

"It's not just that. The white-robed man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There are some more important things that I need to tell my sword-wielder, but I have forgotten these important things, and I'm afraid that the only thing I know now is God himself." ”

"I see. Renault has completely sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, "From the beginning, your true posture was two swords, which were later reforged into one because of my ancestors, and now you have returned to your original posture, fate is really a trick." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" said the white-robed man with a smile, "I used to think you were the one I was looking for, but then I found out that you weren't. But one thing to be happy about is that you did choose someone who was really right. ”

"Everything should be guided by fate. "If I hadn't passed through Tangean, I wouldn't have met Shore, and I'm afraid everything would have changed dramatically." ”

"He's the chosen one. The white-robed man said, "Although my memory of his sword has not yet been restored, he has been able to gradually grasp the ultimate power, I have witnessed his growth, I have seen his enlightenment, I believe that he is the one who has truly been chosen to carry the sword." ”

"He went above and beyond me. Renaud is clearly proud to have such a student, "My will has been inherited by him, and as his teacher, I am very proud of him." ”

"Then it's time for the final mission. The white-robed man said, "This crystal was deliberately left by God, and my current consciousness is also gathered here by God." God wants someone to bring crystals to real sword wielders, and that's why I'm here. ”

"Maybe God knew I was coming. Renaud smiled, "That's why I arranged for the two of us to meet, if so, then I have to thank him, I haven't been with you for a long time." ”

"Don't be poor over there. The white-robed man also smiled, "I'm also glad to be able to chat with you guy again, so let's fight side by side again!"

"Ah, I'm looking forward to it, and I'd love to see what that kid has grown. Although you are no longer the sword in my hand, our hearts have always resonated strongly!"

"Then without delaying your time, it's time to get moving. The white-robed man snapped his fingers as he spoke, "We'll see you on the battlefield next time, I'm sure it won't be too long." ”

Renault only felt a flash of white light in front of him, so strong that he couldn't even open his eyes, and by the time he opened his eyes again, he was back in the real world.

"It was a great chat, I really want to talk to you a little longer. Renault smiled and stroked the faint blue glowing crystals in his palm, "Let's go then, Maia." It's been a long time since I've seen my students again, and as a teacher, I've been looking forward to this moment. ”
