Selena stared at Gawain for a long time, as if she wanted to see through this "extraterritorial wanderer" from an unknown realm dressed in a human shell.

But she couldn't see through anything.

Because she was just a visual illusion projected by Gawain when he took the initiative to let go of some of his superficial consciousness, she could only see what Gawain wanted her to see, and she could only hear what Gawain wanted her to hear, just like the predicament of the Order of the Eternal Sleeper at this moment:

There is no choice, and you are controlled by others, even if you talk about "conditions" at this moment, at best, you are just showing your attitude.

The Wanderer of the Territory now promised that he would not follow the path of the gods in the future, promising that if he broke his faith one day, the covenant would be null and void, but Selena herself knew that no one could bear witness to this verbal promise, not man, not God.

The only thing she and her compatriots can believe in is the credibility of the "human" of the Extraterritorial Wanderer.

Gawain didn't know exactly what Selena was thinking, but he could probably guess a thing or two, and after a slightly suppressed moment of silence, he shook his head: "You don't have to be so wary of me, you are all too nervous. I may come from a place you don't know, from a people you don't know, but I'm just an ordinary traveler on this journey.

"I wanted to work with you because I felt that the upper Narrator was a threat, and that your Order of the Eternal Sleeper ...... It's worth being pulled somewhat.

"So relax, think of it as a person-to-person cooperation, and your nerves will be much better."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment before he said as if casually mentioning: "In addition, you came to see me in person today, in addition to conveying such a message, you should have something else to say to me, right?" ”

Selena's expression seemed to remain unchanged, but the eyes that looked at Gawain suddenly became a little deeper, and after a short period of deliberation, she nodded as expected: "I have some questions, I hope to be answered by you." ”

"Ask, if I knew."

"You said you came into this world to fulfill a promise," Selena asked very seriously, "the promise...... Is it related to Gawain Cecil 700 years ago? ”

"Yes." Gawain nodded calmly.

"This promise...... Is it to help Gawain Cecil save the kingdom he once founded? Is it to help sentient beings free themselves from the yoke of the gods? Is it to lead mortals through the tide of demons? ”

Gawain met Selena's scrutinizing gaze, he pondered, but finally shook his head: "I'm not sure. ”

Selena's eyes widened suddenly: "You're not sure? ”

"I'm not sure," on this issue, in front of Selena, Gawain did not make up a lie that would be difficult to make up for in the future, but chose to steer the topic on the premise of telling the truth, "I seem to have forgotten some key memories, probably some kind of protection...... But I know, I made a deal with Gawain Cecil, and he traded his soul for me to come into this world, so I came-

"When I woke up, I saw that the world was in chaos, that the ancient lands were sinking in chaos, that people were threatened by the borders of civilization, that the kingdom was terminally ill, and that all of this was very detrimental to my peaceful enjoyment of life, so I did what I wanted to do—what I did, exactly what you described.

"I'm not sure if these things are what the deal was about, but I've been feeling more and more lately...... What I'm doing should be what I promised, or rather...... It was Gawain Cecil who decided I would do it when he made the deal. ”

Selena looked at Gawain steadily, there was some surprise in those eyes, and there was some indescribable relaxation, and finally she blinked: "You are more ...... than I thought Straightforward and candid. ”

"Or else? What do you think an extraterritorial wanderer should look like? Gawain smiled, "With some kind of divinity?" Hard and cold as steel and stone, lacking in sensibility? ”

"Almost," Selena seemed to smile as well, "So, you've forgotten the details of that 'deal' with Gawain Cecil, and why he made that 'deal' with you?" ”

"I don't remember for the most part, but some vague fragments have surfaced lately," Gawain said, his gaze falling on Selena, "like...... I know you're related to it. ”

Selena's gaze was calm, calmly meeting Gawain's gaze.

"As you can tell, I have inherited a lot of memories from Gawain Cecil, and in one of those memories, he went to sea in the Fleur of Dragon. In that particular memory, I perceived your power.

"So I'm sure you've been involved in that thing, you know about that transaction, so you should have known about my existence for a long time, and today's conversation between us has reinforced that for me to confirm.

"You said you had some questions that you wanted to be answered by me, and it just so happened that now I have some questions too—can you answer them?"

Gawain smiled gently, and asked calmly and kindly, as if he were an old friend.

The majesty of the "Wanderer", he had shown enough in the last meeting, but it was mainly for the unwitting Eternal Sleeper cultists, and Selena Gelfen in front of him was half an insider, and in front of her, Gawain decided to reveal his "human" side a little, so as to weaken the vigilance of the "insider" and avoid unexpected trouble.

Outside the window, the starlight and lights were intertwined, and the magic crystal lamp behind her exuded a warm and bright glow, Selena stood beside Gawain, bathed in this intertwined light, as if she was in thought, and seemed to be reminiscing, and it took a long time before she broke the silence.

"Everything changes at the Peak of the Ancestors, where everything begins, the beginning of the three sects' descent into darkness, and the beginning of that voyage......"

"Ancestral Peak?" Gawain heard the words that surprised him, "You mean, Gawain Cecil's voyage back then was related to the Ancestral Peak?" ”

Selena nodded slightly, "Since you have inherited his memories, then you must be well aware of the ritual that the Dream Church, the Storm Church, and the Holy Spirit Druid held on the Ancestral Peak, right?" ”

"I know that it was that attempt to communicate with the gods that caused the three churches to be polluted by the gods, and thus the three dark sects that followed were born - this conclusion is partly due to the memories I inherited, and partly the result of my long investigation since I woke up."

Selena nodded again, and instead of dwelling on this known history of the two, she continued, "That incident destroyed the three True God Beliefs, and also caused a huge impact on other churches and several human kingdoms that were not firmly established at that time.

"The three major denominations that had been polluted at the time fell apart, and the witnesses to the Ancestral Peak either went crazy or died on the spot, and the only ones who survived were the priests of other churches who were at a loss and did not establish a faith connection, and those who were located on the periphery of the Ancestral Peak and were not directly involved in the ceremony. No one could tell the outside world what had happened, no one knew what had caused the terrible pollution and the collective madness.

"After that, in order to calm people's hearts, and also to explain the phenomenon of the loss and recovery of divine magic, other sects have announced the so-called 'oracles' to the outside world, claiming that the gods have re-favored mortals and lowered new divine laws, and the three sects, including the Dream Church, were exiled and fell into darkness because they rejected the oracles, but this is ultimately a statement used to calm people's hearts, and it cannot convince everyone, let alone those who are more familiar with the upper echelons of the church and more familiar with the operation of the sect......

"Many people became curious about what happened on the Ancestral Peak, and launched investigation after investigation, including Gawain Cecil."

Speaking of this, Selena turned her head and quietly looked into Gawain's eyes, who was caught up in the memories, and after retrieving some key memories, Gawain said thoughtfully: "I have the impression that shortly after that incident, 'I' went there, but 'I' only saw the abandoned ritual field, where the frenzied priests destroyed everything and left no clues......"

He had become accustomed to equating "Gawain Cecil" with himself in his conversation, and from time to time he would refer to himself as the latter, and Selena had apparently noticed this, but she said nothing about it, except to ask, "Did you really not notice anything?" Did you really see only an abandoned ceremonial arena there? ”

"I remember......" Gawain flipped through the inherited memories in his mind, recalling how Gawain Cecil went to the Ancestral Peak seven hundred years ago to find out the truth, slowly, he frowned, "No, I'm not sure, there are some pictures that are not continuous. ”

It was only then that Gawain realized that he still had memory lapses that he had never been aware of!

He subconsciously looked at Selena: "This memory is your hands and feet?" ”

“…… Yes," Selena hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I helped Gawain Cecil clear a lot of memories as he was told, but I didn't know the contents of those memories - he said that those memories were very dangerous, and that one more person would push the whole world into the abyss from which they would never recover, and that they all had to be erased in the end, so it was better not to snoop in the first place." ”

“…… I trust you," Gawain said slowly, "then go on, Gawain Cecil went to the Ancestral Peak to investigate the truth, what might he have discovered, and then what?" What happened to him after he returned from the Ancestral Peak? ”

"He found us." Selena said.

"He found you?!" Gawain was a little surprised, "How did he find you?" Especially you, how did he find you? After all, you were already ...... seven hundred years ago."

"It seems that you have a complete grasp of my 'situation', including the fact that I became a soul body seven hundred years ago," Selena smiled, "Frankly, I still don't understand...... After returning from the Ancestral Peak, Gawain Cecil was in a very strange state, as if he had suddenly gained some kind of 'insight' ability, or some kind of 'revelation', not only did he set up the defense line in advance in a near-predictable way and repelled several attacks by the distortions, but he also easily found several secret hideouts built by the survivors of the Church of the Storm and the Church of Dreams, even if these hideouts were located in the deserted mountains and forests, even if Gawain Cecil did not send any eyeliners, Even humans at that time did not know about the existence of those barren mountains and forests...... He could find them all.

"He first found the Storm Priests, who were still sane, and asked them to prepare a large ship for him to go to sea, and then he found the Dream Priests who were in hiding, hoping to be mentally protected, hoping that we could help him erase some of his memories......

"As you know, I was already ...... Death, but my soul survived in a special way, I was attracted to Gawain Cecil's plan, and driven by curiosity, I had a dream conversation with him......"

"I don't know," Gawain said, "I don't think I've got a lot of missing memories." What did you all talk about? ”

"He said he was going to take a risk and seek some chance," Selena said slowly, "and he said he knew what we had been through, what terrible things we had seen on the Ancestral Peaks, and he said he had a way — not necessarily successful, but at least a glimmer of hope." ”

Gawain frowned: "What about the specifics?" Didn't he explain it to you more clearly? ”

"That's all," Selena said, "he can't say too clearly, because some things ...... The moment it is spoken, it means that it attracts the attention of certain beings. You should be very clear about this. ”

“…… Well, I understand your concerns about this," Gawain exhaled, "and because of these vague words, you and the Stormchildren decided to take the risk of helping Gawain Cecil on that voyage?" ”

"Yes." Selena nodded slowly and said calmly.

Gawain was inevitably a little curious: "Why?" ”

Selena looked into Gawain's eyes for a long time before she whispered, "Wanderer, do you know what it's like to be cornered? ”
