I feel a little dizzy.

Amy shook her head, and the blurred vision gradually overlapped in front of her eyes, and finally froze.

"I'm back. ”

The emptiness of the environment except for the darkness gave him a strange sense of reassurance, or rather, a sense of reality—but a little later, doubts arose.

Over here...... Is it really the real world?

The Glorious One's suspicions are not unfounded, and the most suspicious thing is not anything else, but his physical condition.

- Intact.

Before falling into the dream, the wound that had been cut by Pandora disappeared, and the misalignment of the shoulder blades disappeared.

It's not realistic.

So he naturally thought of the possibility of multiple illusions.

If the dream world is regarded as the first level of illusion, then the real world in front of us is obviously the second layer of illusion that is interlinked with it - human beings have inherent inertia in thinking, and after debunking the extremely obvious and full of loopholes of the first layer of illusion, it is easy for people in victory to turn a blind eye to the potential risks, and unconsciously fall into the carefully woven second layer of illusion.

From this, everything that happened to him can be perfectly explained.

But...... It always felt like something was wrong.

Pandora –

Like a meteor streaked through the night, and like a cluster of sparks lighting up the night, he suddenly sensed the dissonance in the puzzle called Truth.

Despite the very short time together, Pandora made a very strong impression on him.

No matter how you look at it, this character is not like a doll fabricated out of thin air and manipulated in the hands of the fabricators of the illusion, but a real person with flesh and blood.

And......

The Glory-Bearer lowered his eyes, his dark eyes almost merging with the darkness around him.

Can mortals really connect the thousands of years of history of Hemtika to create such a vast and delicate world?

The answer is very obvious, it can't be.

So...... There's no need to spend time thinking about it.

After confirming this, Amy temporarily put aside the myths born of the integrity of her body, restrained the distracting thoughts, readjusted her state to the imminent battle through the rhythm of breathing, and then took out a pure fire crystal from her bosom, rubbed it, and lit it.

The faint light of the fire illuminated the way, and the boy determined his current location through the landmark.

It's a little subtle –

Here it is...... Hansenlton Avenue.

The dark eyes swept over the surrounding landmarks, the Gloryman's expression did not change in the slightest, and his steps did not hesitate in the slightest, he turned a blind eye to the familiar and unfamiliar landscapes in the darkness, and only stubbornly moved in the direction of the Supreme Tower.

It's just that...... The boy was not as calm as he appeared.

On the contrary, he was very anxious.

The fire has been extinguished, and Hemtika has been reduced to a dead city in which there are survivors, if not ...... Is Yulia still alive?

I don't know, I don't know, everything is unknown.

It wasn't until this moment that Amy knew that he hated the unknown and the uncertain.

Fortunately, Hansendon Avenue was not far from the Supreme Tower, less than two streets between them, and with the footsteps of the Glory, even if he did not deliberately increase his speed, it would take him dozens of minutes to make several trips between the two sides, let alone at the speed of the speed—I am afraid that he would have reached the Order's towering tower before he walked a few squares without waiting for the hand of the minute hand to reach the towering tower of the Order.

But—

Plans can never keep up with change.

On the way to the Tower of the Highest, in the dim light of the flames, he meets someone unexpectedly.

"Amy Ulysses. ”

The young Glory Man looked up at the silver-haired friend in front of him who seemed to have seen a ghost, and frowned without much evasion: "Even if it is an unexpected reunion after a long absence, you won't be moved to this point, right?"

His gaze swept over the face that was more like surprise than surprise, and then he said the other person's name.

Joshua O'Neinnes. ”

"Touched? isn't it—" The silver-haired, red-eyed Glory Man was slightly older than Amy, in an ambiguous period between youth and youth, "I'm just frightened." ”

"It looks like your guts need to be improved. The black-haired, black-eyed boy pouted and shook his head.

"You fellow," the heir of the O'Neill family strode forward, grabbing the shirt of the friend in front of him, "and I'm embarrassed to say that I—who died at Alfred's hands without saying a word?, I have so many indifferent consciousnesses in vain like a fool, you ...... Idiot!"

"I see," through the conversation just now, Amy sorted out the cause and effect, and felt a little guilty about the previous sarcasm, but the only thing he could say at this moment was a "thank you", an insignificant "thank you".

"Anyway...... How did you come back to life. Joshua, who was a little more relaxed, loosened the young man's shirt, and then looked him up and down, "Don't say it, your kid has a bit of a warrior's demeanor now." ”

"Well-" Amy organized the wording in an elongated tone, but after thinking about it, the teenager who couldn't briefly summarize what happened to him could only let out a helpless sigh, "In short, a lot has happened." ”

Again, it can't be summed up in a few words. Joshua nodded understandingly, what happened in the upper districts.

"Sounds like you've been through a lot, too. The young man said with emotion.

"yes, who isn't. Joshua O'Neill suddenly stopped talking, but instead looked at him with red eyes that were as dazzling as flames, "Amy, I have bad news here, please be prepared. ”

"Say it. ”

Anyone who hears such a sentence will have a sense of foreboding in their heart, and Amy will not be an exception - he furrowed his brow slightly, and bitten out the short words in a voice as calm as the sea before a storm.

"I've just returned from the Tower of the Highest," Joshua recounted in as gentle a voice as possible, as if hoping to soothe his friend's emotions as hot as an erupting crater, "Yulia she......

However, almost at the same time that the name was revealed, the murderous spur as cold as a saber had already erupted.

"Calm down, be calm. Joshua, who vaguely remembered that his friend had half-jokingly talked about the inexplicable argument of "sister control destroys the world", somehow had a very strong sense of immediacy about the picture in front of him, "Don't let impulse and anger dominate your mind. ”

"I'm calm, Joshua. The boy said in a cold voice that was very different from his previous past, and a vague shadow of something appeared in his dark eyes, "So, tell me, what happened to Yulia?"

"Actually, it's nothing," the silver-haired red-eyed Glory Man shook his head, he didn't intend to add fuel to the fire, although he didn't know what Amy had been through during this time, but this awe-inspiring killing intent alone was enough for him to realize the seriousness of the matter, "It's just that everyone in the Supreme Tower has disappeared, as if the world has evaporated, and there is nothing left." ”

"The Sword Bearer and the Great Sword Bearer?" Amy raised an eyebrow.

"Their whereabouts are also unknown. Joshua reassured, "So don't worry, with the entire Order gone, it's unlikely that Yulia will have an accident." ”

"That's fine," Amy sighed, "—do you think I'm going to say that?"

"Huh?" said a friend who was familiar with his character, pretending to exclaim, "wouldn't you say that?"

"I don't like to pin everything on an ethereal fate...... No, maybe fate itself is not ethereal. The black-haired, dark-eyed boy said something that didn't make sense, at least something that sounded unclear to the others, "So, it's unlikely that a simple sentence would send me away—I would, no, I would find out the truth—at least to make sure that Yulia was in danger." ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Joshua.

"I'm going to wake up the fire in Hemtika. Amy subconsciously covered her chest, where the newborn fire was faintly and almost imperceptibly pulsating, "It's just that the time is not ripe enough." ”

Yes, the time is not ripe.

Just as a human being can naturally sense warmth and cold, he can also feel the state of the first fire at this moment.

It's weak.

It needs to recuperate, and even more so to eat.

And the so-called food ...... He looked away from his friend, and then sighed inwardly: if it wasn't expected, it should be the blood of order in the Glory—or the Glory.

Sacrifice.

When he realized this, this not unfamiliar word came to mind.

He needed a stable environment for a grand ritual, and if all the sacrifices were of Joshua's quality, it would take about ten to twenty to rekindle the newborn fire, to awaken the fire from the fireless embers.

But...... Is it really necessary to do this? Is it really possible to save this miserable world only through sacrifice?

The young man still had doubts in his heart.

"Awaken the fire of Hemtika," Joshua didn't notice the hesitation and struggle in his friend's heart, he just shook his head with a wry smile, "No kidding, the high priest is gone, the temple of Hephaestus is no longer there, and Hemtica is no longer saved." ”

"But I'm still there. Amy whispered.

"Yes, you're still there, and I'm still there. The silver-haired, red-eyed Glory Man patted the boy on the shoulder, "As long as we're alive, there's hope—so, don't push yourself too hard." ”

"No, you misunderstood what I meant. Amy Ulysses neither nodded nor shook her head, but looked at her friend in front of her and whispered, "I...... Probably different, because the Edgar people have entrusted me with the responsibility of carrying on the Tinder. ”

"What did you say?" Joshua didn't react for a moment.

"The inheritance of the flame is still not broken," the young man reached out to cover his left chest, feeling the newborn fire burning in his body, and then looked up, "I am now the high priest of the temple of Hephaestus. ”

"Not kidding?" Joshua frowned.

"No kidding. Amy repeated.

"You guy—" The silver-haired red-eyed Glory Man couldn't help but be moved, as if he had seen the first rays of dawn in the long night, and a complex expression of surprise and excitement appeared on his face, and then he patted the young man on the shoulder vigorously, as if he still had something to say, but in the next moment, the majestic and loud horn sounded throughout Khmtika, and the cheers and excitement that had just appeared on his face also froze.

What happened?

Amy didn't react at once, but she just didn't react at once.

It's -

In just a few breaths, the young Glory One remembered what the horn had just sounded.

Is that...... War!
