After Herolia handed over the map to Qiao Xiu, she was in no hurry to leave Heibei City.

She found a place to stay in the city of Black Shell.

Herolia was sitting by the window watching the street outside by the moonlight, when Messi came to the room with a candle and lit it.

The facilities of Heibei City are far inferior to the Holy City of the Holy Sect Country, and there is not even a single primordial crystal that can be used as a lamp.

"Lord Heloria, what you said to Qiao Xiu... Is it all true? Messi looked at Heloria's back and couldn't help but ask this... Very sensitive issue.

"What are you talking about?" Herolia turned her head to look at Messiah, who was standing in the shadows of the room.

"On the issue of position."

Messi has been struggling with this since he left the demon station.

If Qiao Xiu is telling the truth... Then all the conspiracies in the Holy City in the past, including the experience of the Messiah, may be behind Herolia.

"It's all true, do you feel angry?" Heloria's pale golden eyes looked at Messi and asked.

"Anger... This... Not really. Messiah shook his head and said.

"Why?" Hearing Messi's answer, Herolia returned to her little girl's state again, and she jumped off the edge of the ledge and walked slowly to Messiah.

"As far as I know, your past character will not forgive an evil person like me."

Herolia put her hands behind her back and looked up at Messiah, who somehow turned her cheek over her because of Herolia's gaze.

"I... I don't know, but some recent events have made me understand that the word justice is not as simple as it seems. Messiah whispered.

"Not as simple as it seems?"

Heloria continued to ask curiously... Or rather, the Messiah.

"I can't put it into words."

Messi held the arm of the other tightly with one hand, and she was using it to ease her tension.

"The conclusion is that you have become more mature than before, or that you have been changed... Changed by that guy Joshua. ”

Herolia's next sentence directly struck at the most sensitive part of Messi's heart.

"It's not about Joshua Arnorod!" The Messiah found the courage to refute at this moment, and she had to retort, "I just followed Lord Heloria, you saw the Holy City... It's just dark. ”

"Follow me?"

Heloria thought and returned to the window, looking into the distance of Shell City.

Even here, Heloria could hear the sound of explosions coming from the battlefield outside the city walls in the distance.

"Messi, let's make a hypothesis, the world where Josieu Arnorod does not exist, do you think this is better, or is it better to be in the current situation."

As Herolia asked the question, she turned again, sat down on the window edge again, and asked about the Messiah.

"Of course, which Chaos Demon has disappeared... If he disappears, the Holy Cult ......"

"The Holy Cult Army will succeed in breaking through the Demon Realm." Herolia told Messi what she had hoped to see: "The demons are under siege in the Frost Nation with the combined forces we have established... will be completely wiped out.

Herolia was sure of this, she clearly knew that the Demon Realm two years ago was on the verge of collapse... Although the demon army still retains combat effectiveness, the internal economic development is basically in the stage of collapse.

The ghost knows where a Qiao Xiu appeared, when Herolia heard Qiao Xiu's name, Qiao Xiu had already built a magic net empire, or the type that couldn't be shaken, and even the development of the demon world took off quickly.

Now that Heloria thinks about it, she is still a little angry.

"But after the Holy Cult Army broke through the Demon Realm... Will the result be a gray fog that will envelop the world? ”

Messi wasn't as naïve as she used to be, she could tell from the conversation between Herolia and Josiu... Halloyia is behind the corrosion of the gray mist.

"No, even if the Holy Cult Army doesn't break through the Demon Realm, the gray mist will shroud this world, and all I have done is to speed up this process." Herolia said.

"Lord Herolia, you... Why? Messi asked, a little puzzled.

"Why? The biggest reason is that the gray fog doesn't hurt me at all. Heloria's pupils have turned into pale golden vertical pupils, "In your eyes, a human life is very important, right?" ”

Messi nodded undeniably, she already knew that blind justice was a foolish act, and that taking someone else's life away was still not allowed in Messi's eyes.

"But in my eyes you are nothing... You are nothing more than a bunch of creatures that have been living on this land for hundreds of years, and I have seen humans older and more powerful than you being swallowed up by the gray mist. ”

A teasing smile appeared on Herolia's face as she said this.

"I was worshipped as a god by you in the past, and I am now... But I'm not like the World Tree and the gods. ”

Herolia pulled back her sleeves and showed the white skin on her arms to Messi.

Gradually, some scales appeared on the surface of these fair skins, which made Messi's eyes widen in surprise.

"But Lord Heloria, you're still drawing strength from the Believers, aren't you?"

When Messiah heard this, he inevitably accumulated a little anger, because in Herolia's eyes, the believers were very insignificant.

"Yes... It's just that they have some use value before they turn into gray mist, and the destruction of human civilization in the past has proved to me... There's no way you creatures can defeat that guy from the Outside. Herolia pulled down her sleeve.

"And then, the Chaos Demon appeared?"

"Then Qiao Xiu appeared, and that guy did a miracle, and the battle situation changed a little." Herolia said, looking at Messiah again, "Messi wants to take my words... Tell the believers? ”

Hearing this, Messi was momentarily stunned, if it had been two years ago, she would have walked out of the door in anger, and then told the truth about Herolia to the ignorant believers.

But now......

"They are happiest when they don't know it, including me." Messiah said.

"In that case, I'm a little sleepy."

Herolia jumped off the window edge again, reverting to her status as a little girl.

"Messey, hurry up and help me make my bed!"

"Well... Good! ”

Messi was stunned for a moment before starting to make the bed, and when she was done, Herolia closed her eyes without saying a word.

"I wish I could wake up tomorrow morning and the gray fog would disappear." After leaving this sentence, Herolia gradually entered the dream.

"Hmm."

Messi couldn't tell whether Heloria's prayer was from the heart or mocking something, but as Herolia's guardian knight, she could only sit next to her and watch Herolia fall asleep.

………………

In the dream... Herolia came to her familiar space of consciousness.

A white elk appeared behind Herolia and arched her waist with her nose.

"I see, don't worry."

Herolia rubbed the elk's huge antlers, and there was a figure standing in the pure white space... It's that proliferating Fuya.

"You've finally changed your image after all these years?" Herolia said, glancing at the proliferating Fuya.

"It's just a bit of a drain, Hloria... Looks like you've betrayed me? She said, staring at Khloria.

"Betrayal? Didn't I lead my army of humans against you, or do I need to feed those humans to your pets now? ”

Herolia's words seemed to annoy the proliferating Fuya, and she took out a knife and slashed it across her arm.

Gray liquid dripped down her arm, and the same wound appeared on Herolia's arm, except that Heloria's wound was overflowing with pale golden blood.

"Don't forget the pact between us, Heloria......"

The wound on her hand had healed completely, as had the wound on Herolia's arm.

"Of course I won't forget, but this pact doesn't mean anything until you're wiped out by your heirs." Herolia said expressionlessly.

"My heir? Arno Rhodes is the offspring of that traitor? The last time you were so sure that something outside the realm could be expelled, it cost a great deal, and we all paid a huge price. She said.

"This time I want to try again."

Heloria reached out again and stroked the elk.

"The human army doesn't even have the ability to step into the land shrouded in gray mist, what are you betting?" Her brow furrowed, clearly not liking Heloria's wavering appearance.

"Bet that the commander of this war is Josieu Arnorod, not you and me." Herolia said.
