Jhoel did make good on his promise, but perhaps he died without a purpose in his entire life. Ember is a little sad, maybe in his native dialect, like a salted fish without the desire to live.

It seems that every immortal person is going to real death from the moment he becomes a salted fish......

It is clear that Ember does not have the charisma that would allow his "followers" to follow him forever. But so what? As an immortal, he can't have too many emotions for too long.

Shortly after Jeuel's death, Ember meets a woman who claims to be Yulia, and says that she is a friend of Juliel, also from Longor.

Ember felt a strong sense of unease when he saw this black woman wearing a beak-shaped mask and a black skirt and armor for the first time. Maybe it's because of the magic knife called Dark Hazy on her waist, I heard that it can bury a hundred knights with just one wave.

“…… You're already a king, aren't you? Bear the mark of the Dark Mark—O King of Spirits of my generation. As long as you remain king, all of us in Longour will obey you wholeheartedly. Of course, I also belong to you. Yulia said unhurriedly.

Of course, Ember would not believe that this cold and proud black woman hiding behind a mask belonged to him, nor would he suspect that if she was "cut open", it would be all black.

"Is this your tone to the king? …… Don't underestimate the ashes, including the long-necked monster behind you. Ember didn't mind revealing something to get the woman to put away that stance.

Is the dark church of Longall only trying to usurp the flames?

“…… O our king, believe that everything we do is for the king's sake. Yulia put away her aristocratic posture and casually touched the scabbard at her waist with her left hand.

"Heh, so, if you mention something about Anri, I'll do it......" Ember didn't plan to fall out with her or draw a knife, after all, that would be a never-ending situation.

"Ashes without fire, king who has failed."

……

The first time I met her was on the way to a living sacrifice.

Maybe it's because of the fact that they are both fireless, and Anri's kindness to him is like a familiar friend, or the two are comrades-in-arms who have a common goal - the King Seeker.

Of course, it would be even better if she didn't have that burly, taciturn, inseparable Horace by her side.

"Oh, this is Horace, who is very quiet, but please don't get me wrong, he is an honest and gentle knight, and a worthy companion on a mission."

Listening to Anri introduce her companion on the mission with tenderness and optimism, Ember felt that her heart was not so good......

In response to Horace's nod, Ember was a little unrelievable. After not saying a few words to Anri, Ember decided to maintain his unfathomable appearance, which was quite similar to Horace.

Ember has very few friends, and he can really make the first "like-minded" friend of the opposite sex, and he is a little excited to think about it, but he just doesn't say it.

……

"Oh, you're back. Seeing that you are in a good mood, have you found a deformed soul? Rudos, who had no legs on the throne, asked.

"No, but soon. There is also something I would like to ask 'you' about. "It's rare for Ember to be so respectful.

Although Rudos is short and has no legs, he is a real reigning king. However, he is very good, and he does not have the majesty of the superior at all, but this does not mean that Ember will despise his power. If you can master the forbidden soul refining, what kind of weak person will it be?

Rudos did not expect to tell Ember his origins until he died, and only occasionally laughed at himself and called himself an exile.

But sometimes it still can't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the ember, and the ember can always pry something useful from the mouth of this old antique.

After a long time, the two of them have become teachers and friends, and if you put aside all kinds of doubts about this fire sacrifice ground, Ember only hopes that all this is not a deception of this king.

"You know, I met an Ash, her name is Anri......"

"Ah, brave girl, I do know something. Well...... It started a long time ago, with Eldredge......"

"I know, the drowning ...... Oh, the cannibal king ate the gods, right? I'm sure he's not in the Chapel right now. Did you say I'm going to tell Anri? By the way, what is the origin of that Horace? ”

"Hey...... At that time, there were only two children who escaped from Eldredge's mouth, and you know that Eldredge cannibalizes men, women, and children. I have lived in that kind of fear and torture since I was a child...... How pitiful it must be. They can only rely on each other for their lives and struggle. They also wanted to avenge the dead children, so they became immortal. And that may be their mission...... Their fate......"

Rudolph slowly finished the story in a hoarse voice. He propped his head and pondered, did he think of the so-called fate again, or his distant hometown?

Ember later did not tell Anri the truth about the Chapel of the Gloomy, and fought with her to the great coffin of the Chapel Eldrich.

In the face of the hordes of depraved priesthoods who have long been living corpses, as well as the archbishops, they did not show the slightest mercy, they only hated that the knife was not fast enough.

How many dirty things did this group of priesthoods who worshipped Eldredge do back then? It is conceivable that in the name of God, they sent countless living people, men, women, and children, into the mouth of the drowning dead fat pig. Their humanity may have been swallowed up by the filth and gloom when they were still human.

As Ember had expected, they found only a small puppet in the empty coffin.

The doll tells of the story of Ilsilon on the edge of the moon wherever you desire; No matter where you are, Irushir is still home.

……

"A pilgrim told me that the city was going over the fortress of Fran, and that was our destination." Anri happily told Ember the news. Ember could hear longing and fear in her trembling voice...... Sure enough, isn't she strong enough.

Is the pilgrim next to Yulia a snake man with a stupid turtle shell on his back? Ember knows exactly what Yulia and her Rondall Cult want him to do!

Just like Yulia said, they will make Anri the king's companion...... Ash's companion. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wants Ember to seize Anri's dark mark. And then? Then he will become the true king, the true king of the Wraith of Longor, the king of the usurping flames!

Perhaps at some point, Ember was moved, and he found that he wanted to possess Anri so much. Although the time they spent together was not too long for an immortal, he had no doubt that he had fallen in love with such a brave and kind girl, but who was so pitiful that she was mocked by fate.

Maybe she's not strong enough to face all the ordeals, but Ember is willing to be the sword she looks forward to, her indestructible shield.

Wouldn't it be perfect to make her the king's companion, a veritable companion?!

This is the opportunity to reunite Ember and Anri in the catacombs of Casas.
