"What happened next?"
Rorschach asked.
"Jacob escapes to an abandoned mine......"
Nora took a deep breath, "No one would have thought that in the depths of the mine, Jacob suddenly became extremely powerful, the warrior fled, and the sheriff was killed by Jacob......"
Rorschach frowned, remembering what Pradino had said about Jacob being locked up in the mines, and he asked:
"So, someone came to deal with Jacob later?"
"Yes."
Nora nodded, "A mysterious man who calls himself the Warden has appeared, he has defeated Jacob and destroyed the mine, imprisoning Jacob in the depths of the mine. ”
"Who's the caretaker?"
"I don't know."
Nora shook her head and said, "These things were told to me by the Grand Wizard of the Tribe, if you want to know more about it, you can ask her." ”
"Okay."
Rorschach nodded, "So how can I save Jessica from them?" ”
"Deliver them ......"
Nora smiled, "That requires you to enter Jacob's remaining consciousness in the iron plate, where you defeat him in order to free the unconscious." ”
"Remnants of consciousness?"
Rorschach wondered, "But how can I get in?" ”
"I'll help you......"
Nora walked slowly towards Rorschach as she continued, "And that's what I'm here for. ”
"How?"
Rorschach looked at her warily.
"Don't be nervous ......"
Nora walked up to Rorschach and slowly raised her hand, pressing her index finger on his forehead, "Relax, it's very dangerous there, it's too late for you to give up now." ”
"I'm not going to give up."
"Okay."
Nora laughed, "I knew you weren't going to give up...... Mother Earth walks with us and allows us to see the past......"
The sound of glass shattering in Rorschach's ears was heard, and everything around him was reduced to nothingness, and darkness enveloped Rorschach.

……
Late at night.
A Mercedes S-Class drives up to the entrance to a farm outside the sleepy town.
The car stopped, the cold-faced man pushed open the driver's door and stepped out of the car, went around to the side of the car and opened the back seat door, and said respectfully:
"Sir, here we are."
Pradino opened his eyes, stepped out of the car, straightened his suit, and said:
"Wait for me here."
"Don't you need me to accompany my husband in?"
The cold-faced man hurriedly asked.
"No, you don't."
Pradino waved his hand, "This is the sacred realm, you can't step into it. ”
"Yes, I'm here for you."
"Hmm."
Pradino nodded, and stepped into the entrance of the farm, which was once his home, where he was born and raised.
The lights were on in the three-story bungalow on the farm, and in the living room, old Lawn was sitting on a wooden chair reading a book, when suddenly he raised his head and looked at the door.
There was a knock on the door.
Old Lawn sighed and said:
"Come in, there's no lock."
Pradino pushed the door open and walked in.
Old Laune looked at his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, frowned, and said:
"You're here."
"I'm here, Lord Warden."
Pradino said lightly, without the slightest joy of meeting his father.
Old Lawn put the book on the table beside him, stood up, and said:
"Roxon Energy is here, did you give them the clue?"
"Oh......"
Pradino laughed, "I thought you weren't in the world anymore." ”
"You misled them......"
Old Lawn shook his head, "Let them find Jacob, do you know the consequences of doing so?" ”
"Of course."
Pradino nodded, "You're old, I can take your place." ”
"No ......"
Old Lawn shook his head and said, "You can't be a caretaker......"
"Do you think only Donnie is qualified?"
Pradino stared at his father and said fiercely, "But he's dead, killed by you." ”
"I'm sorry......"
Old Lawn hung his head.
"Excuse me?"
Pradino sneered, "You have the power and power to stop this. ”
"That's the ...... test"
Old Lawn shook his head and said, "Donnie didn't pass the test, he was corrupted......"
"Didn't you do that?"
"Sorry......"
Old Lawn shook his head dejectedly, "It's fate. ”
"Fate?"
Pradino nodded, "So did fate tell you about the current situation?" Lord Warden, you don't have the power and strength to stop this, Roxon Energy has discovered Jacob, and they will find what is below, what will happen if that thing is dug up...... You know better than I do, Corruption...... This will become a place of corruption, and everything you hold on to will be destroyed. ”
Old Lawn looked at Pradino and sighed:
"Even if it were, I can't pass on the power of the Keeper to you."
"Why!?"
Pradino said excitedly, "Just because I'm not as good as Donnie?" ”
"No ......"
Old Lawn shook his head, "You are better than him, you two have been trained since childhood, but you can't withstand the power of the Keeper, you will be corrupted." ”
"I don't think I'm going to be corrupted!"
Pradino narrowed his eyes, "I have faith in myself. ”
"But I don't think so."
Old Lawn sighed, "Have you forgotten? What have you experienced!? ”
"Okay......"
Pradino nodded, "Then I'll prove it to you with my own power, and if Roxon Energy really finds that thing, I'll destroy it." ”
"Don't go near it."
Old Lawn advised, "That is pure evil, and you cannot resist it." ”
"What if I have the power of a caretaker?"
Pradino asked, "Even without Roxon Energy, there will be other companies, institutions, and governments, and sooner or later they will find out the secret here, Lord Warden, how long do you think you can keep this secret when you are about to die?" You're old, where is the new caretaker? ”
"I understand ......"
Old Lawn sighed, "But it won't admit you." ”
"Hehe......"
Pradino sneered, "What if I have this? ”
He pulled out a necklace from under the collar of his shirt, on which hung an object resembling a yellow crystal.
Old Lawn's eyes widened, revealing an incredible look, he raised his hand and pointed at the yellow crystal, and said in a trembling voice:
"You...... How did you have this? ”
"Legendary Fragments......
Pradino shook the fragment in his hand and laughed, "Why can't I have this?" ”
Old Lawn shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that this is all fate......"
"Fate?"
Pradino scoffed, "My fate has always been in my own hands. ”
