"Welcome, Lady Anna is waiting for you in the garden." At the door, an elderly butler welcomed Wer into the house.

Walk through the gorgeous front yard, with a maze of twists and turns on both sides, suitable for young men and women.

A white marble fountain in the center is constantly gushing out the sound of a bubbling spring in the night.

There was a room of good size in the middle of a garden in the distance, and although not many flowers were in full bloom at this time, it was evident from the graceful branches and the flowers that had withered a little that this little garden must be the most beautiful part of the estate in the right season.

Will walked into the garden, and the butler pushed it open with transparent glass...... It is a patchwork of jewels, the door of the besieged hut.

"Lady Anna, Mr. Wille has arrived." The old butler bowed slightly into the room and walked out.

Lady Anna sat in the middle of the room, with her back to Wiel, and on the table was a delicate glass of water.

"Come and sit down, Mr. Wiel." Madame Anna's voice rang out, and it was hard to imagine that it was an old man.

Wiel noticed that in the direction Anna was facing, outside the transparent window, was a shallow stream that flowed through Anna's field of vision.

In this direction, it looks like you're on top of a ship.

Wille took a few steps forward and came across from Lady Anna, whose eyes were calm and she was calmly looking at the river in front of her.

"Hello, Lady Anna." Wille said.

"Time flies, Mr. Will, and in a blink of an eye it is night again." Lady Anna began the conversation, and Weir waited silently for the rest.

"Isn't the sea magnificent? After all, Mr. Will, you have just returned from there. …… Don't look at me like this, but I've never been to the sea, and I rarely even leave my family's domain. …… Tell me about it, I'd like to hear it. Anna picked up the glass of water in front of her and tasted it gently.

"This room is really like the captain's room." Wiel turned his head slightly. "The sea is big, so big that it doesn't end...... It's hard to imagine that a collector with a passion for nautical things would never touch the sea. ”

"Can't you see it?" Lady Anna smiled smugly, "I've seen a lot about sailing, and I've talked to a lot of people who come to the sea. ”

"Why are you so obsessed with this?"

"I invited you here just to talk to you." Mrs. Anna laid down her cup and sat down gracefully on the act before her, and the dim and bright light in the room made Anna look very peaceful.

"Although the sea is calm sometimes, most of the time it is full of waves, and we are like floating branches on the sea." Anna spoke quietly, as if there was a sea in her eyes.

"Until one day, we can drift to the soil of accepting ourselves, and then we can have a home." Anna said calmly, looking into Will's eyes.

"I have a question, Mr. Wyer, the friend you spoke of...... Is his name Hierro? ”

Wille was surprised that Lady Anna knew about Hierro!

"You know Hierro, too? He ......" remembered what Sitz had told him about Lady Anna's unattainable age, and Weir nodded, "He's my friend. ”

When Lady Anna heard Wille say this, she was silent for a moment, got up, and went to the window with her glass of water.

"Sure enough...... You know Hierro. …… You buy that hat......" Anna's performance became slightly unnatural. "That'...... Oh my gosh, it's a shame...... How is he doing, Wiel? Can you tell me? ”

Ver paused, as if thinking of something, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips. "I don't mind, but before I answer, I want to know how you guys met."

Anna shook the cup gently.

"I haven't talked to anyone...... Not a word, but ...... I think you should be able to know, and you should know. Anna thought for a moment and said.

"I'm sure you've discovered that I'm different from these descendants, I'm a pure star spirit...... Same as Hierro. ”

“…… But Hierro isn't a star spirit, right? He...... He is completely a magical insulator, without the star soul of the star spirit. Weir shook his head, he didn't expect that the Lady Anna in front of him was actually a star spirit like Boris!

"You even know the Star Soul, and your identity is not simple, Mr. Wille......," Anna was silent for a moment, "He shouldn't have told you the truth, but since you can be friends with him...... Then he must have done the same thing as me. ”

"What?"

"Abandon the Star Soul for a long life...... Anna turned and faced the stream again, "High Priest Winnie hadn't made that decision then...... Or that you are looking for the true image of the abyss......"

Will listened quietly.

He ...... Hierro, a star traveler, has longed for the sea since he was a child...... As an adult, he's become a Star Spirit Traveler exploring the endless seas......" Anna said slowly, "and once he came here looking for something to fix his nautical instrument...... I got to know Hierro. ”

"At that time, I was just the daughter of a merchant, and we were staring at each other, and the sky was thundering, and I wrote a note to him...... Let a child send it. ”

Anna's face was full of memories, "He came to me at night, night after night, until one time my father heard the voice. Kicked him out. ”

"I waited for him until one day I received news that he was about to leave here, and I hurried after her and gave him the ruby amulet my father had given me." Anna said, taking a sip, "...... I waited for him to come back and marry me, but then I lost all news of his fleet...... Now, I know about him again...... You also know our story, can you tell me how he is now? Where is he? ”

Vere sighed and said to Lady Anna, "I can tell you, I'm afraid there's bad news after that...... The reason why I snatched the hat from you at auction is because it is the only relic left of Hierro. ”

"Ah......h

"Please tell me...... Did he ever mention me? ”

"He didn't say your name...... But he asked me to keep this. Ver took a ruby amulet out of his bosom.

Anna reached out and took the amulet, "I gave it to him......" Anna gently clenched the amulet, and in Weir's surprised gaze, the amulet slowly opened.

Anna glanced inside, and gently applied the protector to it.

Wiel thought for a moment, "Lady Anna, since you and Hiero are old acquaintances, this talisman was not given to the wrong person. …… Hierro asked me to give this thing back to you. …… True memories are only meaningful if they are given to someone who has always missed him. ”

"Tell me, how did he die?"

"Fight the Kraken...... The sea people all saw that Hierro had defeated the Siren Demon. He died as a hero. ”

Anna's eyes darkened slightly, and Wille took Hierro's hat out of her backpack and placed it on a chair beside her in Anna's sight.

"Mr. Wiel, is there anything I can do for you? …… Let me take it as a thank you? ”

"Actually, I need some magic gear to fight the demons in the desert."

Lady Anna nodded, "The butler will give you all the magic gears." ”

Wiel bowed his head and walked out the door, "Lady Anna...... You must know how the world has changed over the years, right? What really happened then? ”

“…… There is nothing to say, High Priest Winnie has already arranged everything...... I'm just an old woman who is about to die. …… Mr. Wille...... I'm tired, now, please leave me alone for a while. ”

Seeing that Madame Anna did not want to speak further, Wille came out of the garden, and the butler was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Wille...... Please follow me. With that, the two of them walked to the other side.

In front of the window, Mrs. Anna quietly looked at the stream in front of her, the cup in her hand trembled slightly, and the liquid in it was bright red and condensed with a rich aroma of wine.

Mrs. Anna brought the cup to her lips and drank some gently, but could not help but close her eyes.

The light illuminates Lady Anna's figure, giving the ruby amulet a soft glow.

……

Hotel.

"You're back, how is it, has Lady Anna made things difficult for you?" Sitz said.

Wiel placed a small box on the table and pushed it in front of Sitz, who opened it to find a bunch of delicate magic gears inside.

"Oh my God, did you get to kidnap Lady Anna? That's probably all the magic gear she's collected! Sitz said incredulously.

"No, Lady Anna and I are just talking...... Just said something. "Now, we've got gears. ”

"Ah, by the way, a knight named Ke Lan sent magic ice crystals over, I didn't expect your name to be so useful." Sitz said, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"So, we should be ready to get rid of that demon in the desert."
