"Gwen?"

Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, Hela on the side frowned a little puzzled. She couldn't understand why the Fire Girl would turn the conversation to Gwen.

Hearing Hela's doubts, the firefighter nodded quietly and said, "Ash should have told you, right?" So what kind of person is Gwen in your eyes? ”

After a moment of doubtful thought, Hela followed Gwen in the mouth of the ashes and said, "A great king who covets power, but finally repents, is merciful, and brave, and creates an era? ”

Hearing Hela's slightly hesitant voice, the fireproof girl on the side shook her head calmly as she didn't expect, and then said calmly:

"Far from ......"

"But like you said, Gwen ushered in a whole new era, the age of fire. But what about the facts? It wasn't as rosy as people thought...... Recognized by the tribes, Gwen founded the highest mountain city of Arnollund in the Rhodeland Mountains. At that time, the dragon clan had completely lost all the power to resist Gwen's rule. The Primordial Dead Nit brought the concept of death to the Age of Chaos, and without the Primordial Tree, even the Elder Dragons were no longer immune to the passage of time...... They will also die, and the few remnants of the ancient dragons that remain can be easily wiped out without even Gwen, without the hands of the Four Knights, and with the Silver Knight Legion. ”

"The ancient dragons are no longer a threat. But even so, when the Sun Elder became close friends with the Storm Dragon, Gwen chose to banish him...... Will he be afraid of the ancient dragons who have already developed the concept of death? Go back to fear the remnants of the old era that no longer has the power to resist? No, it wasn't even that the white dragon Hiss, who created crystallization magic, was studying how to regain his immortal power in the Duke's library. ”

“…… But the cries of the Sun Elder are too high. As the leader of the Cult of the Sun God. Mercy, justice, helpfulness. Gwen felt that his position as the king of all gods was threatened, especially when "the eldest man will definitely become a more reliable god king in the future". The uneasiness in his heart exploded. ”

"The old man, blinded by power, banished the eldest man from Arnollund, erased his name, destroyed his statue, and placed his exploits on someone else, or on himself...... If it weren't for the fact that the Helios Cult continued to rely on the belief in justice even after leaving the eldest man, if it weren't for the fact that those remnants of the deeds were still passed down by word of mouth by the knights of the Helios Cult. Then maybe even I didn't think that the sun man ever existed. ”

However, just as the fire girl was still talking, Hela on the side suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait a minute."

Looking at the fireproof girl in front of her suspiciously, Hela on the side frowned and asked, "But didn't Gwen make a change in the end?" He turned himself into firewood, and then threw himself into a distant stove and burned it as firewood......"

"That's a lie."

The firefighter said coldly: "Hela, do you know what the word "salary king" means? He means endless glory. Becoming a salary king means that he will be the survival of this world. ”

"Gwen's choice to become the Salary King was not because of remorse – or even the fact that the fire itself was a tragedy of constant reincarnation...... There is selfish desire in Gwen's heart. In other words, the successive salary kings have selfish desires...... The giant Yum chose to throw himself into the flames for the sake of the people of the capital of sin. The Watchers of the Abyss, the Flange Immortals, threw themselves into the flames to extinguish the Abyss. Prince of Lochris...... No, the existence of the kingdom of Loklis itself exists for the purpose of spreading fire, and no one cares if he is unwilling or resentful. Eldridge, who devoured the gods, was forced to throw himself into the first fire after discovering the truth about the fire. It's not so much that he's a pay-along, but rather that he's just a test specimen of the primordial fire......"

Gwen, on the other hand, greedily wanted to occupy that position, envying the throne of the primordial furnace. He wanted to sit on it, emitting infinite light and heat like a star, so that the times would continue to live on because of him. In this way, he will become a wedge that continues and fixes the world and the times. And based on this thinking, he became the salary king. Do you think this so-called kindness is really kindness? ”

Of course, he found that his soul could not sustain the burning of the first fire for eternity...... There was no turning back for him. And at that time, the scam of spreading fire had already begun......"

"Successive firefighters must fall in love with the darkness, and those firefighters who have seen the truth have become one of the hundreds of corpses in the tower after the sacrificial ground. Therefore, in order to conceal the truth and complete the transmission of the fire, all the firefighters must seal their eyes with wax. Because the firefighter girl can see the future of the Dark Ages...... All the firefighters were the elect of the Dark Ages. ”

"And I love the ashes ...... deeply"

For the first time, the fire prevention woman's tone was a little undulating and looked at Hela in front of her. For some reason, facing the eyes of the fireproof girl, Hela seemed to be able to feel the despair and torture in the fireproof girl's heart.

"But when Ash taught me the eyes of another world, my heart was shaken...... I saw the dark age that belonged to me, the age of the deep sea. I saw an era that was even brighter and better than the Age of Fire! It was also at that time that I learned that the Age of Fire itself was a hoax! A scam that blinded everyone. From the first time the fire was transmitted, the fire that shone through the whole world, and then the fire that seemed to be blown away by a breeze. The Salary Kings burned for less and less, and the first fire burned faster and faster—perhaps before I knew that Gwen had deceived everyone! But they don't want to admit it, and they don't want to break the Age of Fire......"

And Ash didn't know all this, he seemed to have been born to spread fire, and his huge soul was not mixed with the slightest selfish desire. It is precisely because of this conflict that on the one hand is the era to which I belong, and on the other hand the mission of the people I love so much. You can't comprehend the contradiction and pain I feel, the despair of the struggle between betrayal and betrayal......"

As she spoke, the fireproof girl fell silent, looking at the bright dome of the fireless sacrificial ground with her head held high, and the starlight in the sky seemed to shine on her face.

"And the moment Ash chose to extinguish the flame, I got more satisfaction than I had ever done......"

Hearing this, there was silence for a moment, and Hela's voice involuntarily became softer than she didn't even notice herself.

"And what if Ash chooses to spread the fire and rekindle the age of fire?"

“…… It does not matter. The firefighter said softly: "Those beings whose souls are mixed with strong selfish desires, even if they throw themselves into the flames and become the salary king, they are only sad, just pseudo-kings who will burn out at any time...... And Lord Ash is pure, there is no good or evil, and it has nothing to do with good or evil. It's pure and unsullied ......."

"Whatever he chooses, I just have to follow him – I believe in everything he does, and he won't let me down."

"Our souls are connected ......"

As she spoke, a smile rose on the fire girl's face.

And looking at the delicate cheeks of the fireproof girl, for some reason, a touch of impatience rose in Hela's heart......

"I don't know why, but I'm getting more disgusted with you."
