53. The Monastery of the Dead
Fifth Avenue in New York is an important north-south main artery in Manhattan, New York City, USA, from Washington Square Park in the south to 138th Street in the north. Because Fifth Avenue is located in the heart of Manhattan Island, the east-west streets on Manhattan Island are sometimes referred to by this street. For example, 15th Street, east of Fifth Avenue, is called East 15th Street.
Empire State Building, New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Church, Central Park. Plus famous art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum near Central Park...... Even if you don't count that, New York's Fifth Avenue is the most expensive retail place in the world. As a result, every inch of land on Fifth Avenue is carefully surveyed by the government.
And now, in front of Nick Fury, there is a nameless monastery with a bunch of weird characters engraved on the name tag!
"Why, there's a monastery on Fifth Avenue!" Nick Fury said this almost word by word as he looked at the crowd behind him, his only remaining eyes full of solemnity. But no one here can explain anything...... For no other reason, now they are also in a deep shock.
On the other hand, I don't know the shock of Nick Fury and others. Looking at the quiet and gentle fireproof woman with a face full of tranquility in the distance, for some reason, the ashes' footsteps were slightly suffocated...... Almost three seconds passed, and Ash took another step towards the fireproof woman...... There was no resentment, but Ash wished that the Fire Girl's face would be filled with resentment, because that would at least make amends for herself. And now, the fireproof girl is still standing there quietly as before, imprisoned in the sacrificial ground eternally by the fire, and the only thing she can do is to wait for her to go back......
For some reason, Ash's footsteps began to slow down. Walking slowly, as the distance got closer and closer to the fireproof girl, the freak snake that was coiled on the ashes also let out a subtle wail. He seemed to be praying for the ashes to stay away from the firewoman, away from the monastery. But Ash didn't bother him in the slightest. As something born from the consciousness of the ashes, he should also be aware of the ashes' thoughts and self-blame for the fireproof girl. Now it's not so much a plea as a dying struggle......
It was visible to the naked eye that the body of the freak snake began to gradually dry up, as if something had been pulled away and disintegrated. And when the ash walked in front of the fire girl, the freak snake was left with only a layer of smeared skin, just like black silk shrouded in the ash's body, clearly imprinting the outline of the armor. And the black leather bag that dragged on the ground was also like a huge cloak made of black silk.
The mark engraved on the name tag, Ash knew what it was...... Monastery of the Immortals.
"You're finally here, Lord Ash." A smirk rose into her face, and the Firefighter seemed to be rejoicing at the arrival of the ashes. After a moment of silence, Ash nodded gently.
"Then, Lord Ash, please come with me......"
As she spoke, the fireproof girl slowly walked towards the immortal monastery behind her, or ...... A fireless sacrificial ground.
Following in the footsteps of the fireproof girl, Ash slowly walked to this place that he was very familiar with. And just as Ash walked through the gates of the Immortal Monastery, a pale mist enveloped the land. In a trance, the fog gradually dissipated. When people came to their senses, the shadow of the monastery had disappeared in front of them......
Slowly walking into the huge monastery, an old nun with an old face and a black robe stood respectfully on the side of the road and opened the dusty door for the fire prevention girl. The heavy dust fell on the door frame, and this was the first time in the old nun's memory that this gate was opened, and it was also the first time in the old nun's memory that a man would come to this monastery......
Looking at the brazier standing on the ground, Ash was silent, then nodded calmly. Afterwards, the Firewoman picked up an ancient spiral sword that had been covered in rust and placed it on the altar and handed it to Ash...... This is the prototype of the spiral sword, with a strange snake wrapped around its rough blade, and the spiral sword body is dotted with a little unburned fire.
"What was once in motion is like an insect embedded in amber, embedded in the total connection of all things, and thus eternal." Looking at the back of the ashes, a happy smile also rose on the face of the fire prevention girl.
The soul has been dispersed, and now the ashes are only the soul that belongs to him. It's still huge, but it's a little weaker than it was before. But that's it, and Ash didn't feel much unwillingness or disappointment because of this. The cracked eyes stared at the fireproof girl in front of him, and it was as if the magma rushing in his pupils had been blocked.
"I'll ...... back"
Just as Ash was about to say something, the Firefighter suddenly covered Ash's mouth with her hand. The fireproof woman is a blessed being who embraces the darkness. Therefore, in order to block out the glimmer of the primordial fire, they sealed their eyes with wax. Although he couldn't see the eyes of the fireproof girl, even so, the ashes could still feel the affection and fascination that almost overflowed from the fireproof girl.
"You've never left."
"Lord Ash, may I be your haven of rest......"
