Robin was slightly stunned, and a pain came from his brain.

yes, the price.

He had already had a few experiences with forbidden spells during this time, and he knew more about them.

The cost of using forbidden spells is very high.

It can be accompanied by physical pain, weakness, dizziness of the brain, and bleeding in the body......

Sometimes it's—

[Life].

"So, they're just afraid of death?" Robin scoffed at this and let out a cold snort, "A group of people who keep saying something [no destruction, no new life] are actually afraid of death. Isn't that a paradox? ”

"No, it's more than that." Jiexi put her finger on the frame of the mirror and replied with a serious look in her eyes, "Not in my knowledge of blasphemers. Their followers are called star chasers.

We have met many star-chasers who are steadfast in their faith and who are never afraid of death.

Even ......"

Jiexi only felt that her mouth and tongue were dry for a while, and her eyes were lost.

She paused for two seconds, as if time had been paused for two seconds.

Then the earl muttered, "They—yearn for death." ”

"Longing for death?"

This time it was Robin's turn, and his whole body shook.

"They didn't use that power to destroy the sacred tree, I think, because they followed their own beliefs."

"It's completely incomprehensible." Robin shook his head, "I can do it, but I didn't do it because of my own beliefs, but their faith is obviously destroyed." ”

"What a contradiction, isn't it?" Jeong-hee laughed happily, as if she felt a sense of accomplishment that she had been able to stump him, "You can understand it if you look back at their own beliefs. ”

"Reviewing the ...... of Faith"

Robin was stunned.

"Without destruction, there is no new life?" His eyes sparkled in the night sky.

This sentence was like a curse, a red-hot soldering iron with extremely strong magical power, which was deeply imprinted on Robin's heart.

"See, contradictory beliefs produce contradictory behaviors." Jiexi said with a smile, "What they are afraid of is that after tearing the whole world apart, there will be no soil for new life." Destruction is the means to new life, and without it, all their actions are meaningless. ”

"I see." Robin's impression of these blasphemers changed a little, "Destruction is not complete and extreme destruction, and new birth is not a new birth without a cause. All they want is to destroy the tree of life in a targeted manner. ”

So much for.

"However, it doesn't make sense," the confusion in Robin's eyes deepened, "why are they capable but not able to do it?" If only it were for the Tree of Life. ”

"That's because ......"

Jiexi raised her hand and put it to her mouth, wanting to say something.

"When they are determined to suppress their true power," she replied cautiously and solemnly...... "When they renounce the supreme forbidden spell for fear of destruction, when they are unable to give up their lives because they care about the new life, the stars are not much different from the gems of the earth. ”

"......" Robin fell silent for a while.

But he had already understood Jeong's words.

Only by paying the highest price can the supreme power be touched.

Without them, they were no different from any other magician.

In a way, it was their faith that saved the world.

Otherwise, if the blasphemers were a bunch of madmen who risked their lives to destroy them, then nothing would exist.

Magic always comes at a price.

It's just that their price is faith.

But their ultimate goal is also faith.

For them, it's more than life.

A playful smile appeared on Robin's lips, how contradictory and sarcastic.

"Moreover, in Haoyue City, there are powerful mages, there are Thunder Knights in the Frost Fortress, there are four knights in the kingdom, and there will be holy law guards in the gods...... And every country has its own heroes. Jiexi continued to explain, in a reverent and respectful tone, "Even the light of fireflies, when combined, is enough to match the stars." ”

It was at this moment that Robin was suddenly stunned.

It was as if a string had been plucked by a finger in the depths of my heart, and it trembled violently.

Circles of ripple oscillation.

Shock the soul.

Even if it is the light of fireflies, when combined, it is enough to match the stars.

A spark can start a prairie fire......

The two men looked at each other without saying a word, their chests heaving and rising, and they were silent for a long time.

……

After a moment, Robin looked up.

"In this way, the goal of the blasphemer is actually to kill me or stop Saiya, and indirectly achieve the ...... of destroying the Tree of Life."

Robin's mouth opened wide in surprise halfway through his words.

He recalled Eileen's every move at the time, including what she said at the time-

[Either let me go or let me die, come on!] 】

And he was clearly there at the time.

Eileen didn't want to kill him.

The mission she received was only to assassinate Saiya.

No.

The blasphemer is not targeting him.

Or, they didn't realize that he would be summoned by Saiya.

"Based on the information we've gotten, I'm afraid that's not what they do." Jyoshi's words confirmed his suspicions, "But, I suppose, it's because they don't know that Saiya is here to summon you, the Chosen One of Itnell. ”

Robin looked at the other in silence, waiting for her next words.

"So, what they are targeting is Saiya herself, or Saiya's identity." Jiexi sighed.

Why?

Robin stared into her eyes.
