In the woods outside the ruins, a group of demons sat in a circle, all wearing hoods, sitting silently on the ground, and three captives tied to the three trees on the periphery of the circle. Neither Ness nor Morena were gagged with anything, for the demon knew that with them nearby, the mage would not be able to recite the spell neatly. Heshuin was the only one who didn't wear a hood, and he was standing beside Bared, not saying a word to him, and at this moment, the two looked less like enemies and more like friends they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Barred still didn't give up, still trying his last hand to persuade his old friend, who had been blinded by hatred. "Hyshuin, have you ever thought about the consequences of the release of the Lord of Darkness? The whole of Wallis will become hell, and no one will be spared, is this really what you want?"

Heshuin leaned against the trunk of the tree, his hollow eyes looking at the sky between the branches, the night had faded, and the morning sky was blue. "Barrede, you should be able to understand me, when I think of Vorell's last poignant cry for help, my heart hurts more than death, I can't forgive Adeline, but I won't be angry with you, although I have become like this, but my mind is still clear. ”

"You know, you can't blame Adeline for this, or we're all going to die. Barred wasn't afraid of the demon, and in front of him was a life-and-death friend who had fought side by side. "All you need is an object for you to vent your anger, so you chose Adeline, who decided to give up on Vorell, but you ask yourself, is this really the right one?

Hesuyin tore off a piece of his drooping scalp, and a handful of hair was pulled out along with it. "No one should be abandoned, so why do humans always have to make excuses for things that don't make sense? Do you think it's right to give up on Volel? and can I think it's also right to be wiped out in order to save Worrell?"

Barred was speechless for a moment, he understood that what Hexiuin said was true, life is equal for everyone, and he was silent for a while, but he still decided not to give up. "Even as you say, Adeline must be in a lot of pain, she has to think about the safety of our entire team, and she is not doing it for herself, but for the others, Lucius, Byron, Ilsutia, me, and of course you. ”

"All of this is useless. Hai Xiuyin looked at the scalp with hair stuck in his hand, and smiled bitterly, "Look at me like this, what else is there to worry about?"

"Of course there is! All the lives of Wallis, they are innocent, you can't let them bear the burden of Vorell's death!" Barred looked at Hyshuin's eyes full of sympathy. "Do you remember what Vorell said to you before she died? Tell me, what she said to you!

Hexiuin tossed the scalp in his hand. "I'll release you and the archmage before I release the Dark Lord, but I can't let Ness go, and although I don't want to hurt her, we must use her power to release the Dark Lord. If Ness is still alive by then, you can take her away from here and to the northern border. ”

"No kidding, Hayshuin, will Wallis still be safe by then?" Barred was anxious when he saw that he couldn't convince the other party.

Sensing something, Haysouin walked towards the middle of the clearing. "I can't help you with this, Bared, Volell is everything to me, I don't care what would happen to Wallis without her, and neither do you, I won't kill you if I think about the old relationship, it's up to you to make it to you. ”

"Damn it, you idiot!" Barred cursed until a large black vortex appeared in the center of the clearing, and a group of figures appeared from it, and the mages of the Twilight Cult returned.

The mages were all lined up by the tree, ten yards away from the demon, and only Aloisius did not hesitate to light a fire beside the demon and bake a pot of hot water, and the other mages also circled the demon and moved closer.

Hyshuin walked over to the fire, and the mages stepped back at the same time. "Since you're back, have you gotten the Holy Seal back?"

Aloiseus didn't even lift his eyes. "Of course, will I fail if I go out in person?"

"Then leave it to me. Hysium's withered hand reached out to Aloisius.

Aloisius finally raised his head slightly. "I'm safer, can you resist Adeline?"

"Adeline, did she appear again?" said Haysui's pale face.

"Yes, but even she can't stop me. Aloisius lowered his head again and looked at the teapot on the fire.

Heshuin withdrew his hand. "Now that we have the Holy Seal and that elemental envoy, we can release the Dark Lord immediately, and I suggest that the sooner the better, just tonight, save yourself a lot of long nights. ”

Aloisius snorted softly and flicked the firewood. "Release the Dark Lord now, do you want the Dark Lord to kill us all?Oh, by the way, I forgot, he won't kill you, because you're his lackey. ”

"You!" Hehu clenched his fists in anger, but he held back his tone. "The Dark Lord will not kill you, you have done so much for the Dark Lord, he will definitely treat you well. ”

Aloisius sneered unabashedly. "If you can snatch the holy artifact for me, I will release the dark lord immediately, otherwise I will wait for me to find a way to get the holy artifact. ”

"Do you distrust the Dark Lord?" Hai Xiuyin clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the Great Sage sternly.

Aloisius didn't care about Haysuein's questioning. "The lies of the dark lord are sweeter than honey and mellower than wine, but they are as sharp as knives, and the wise should keep a hand. ”

Hyshuin's hand moved to the hilt of his sword. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you and snatch the Holy Seal?"

Aloisius took a thick piece of linen from his sleeve, wrapped it around the handle of the teapot, and slowly poured water into the teacup. "Although you are a demon, and you are not an ordinary demon, do you think that a demon can defeat a great sage?"

"I may not be able to do it alone, but if we work together, it's hard to say anything. As soon as Hai Xiuyin finished speaking, the demons sitting around raised their heads here.

The mages are all subconsciously ready to cast spells, with the protection of Aloisius's mana, they have a lot of resistance to the special abilities of demons, Aloisius waved his hand, and the mages calmed down. "Don't forget, Hesyuin, our purpose is the same, and so are our enemies. ”

"Is it, is our purpose the same?" said Heshuin, clinging to the Great Sage's head.

Aloisius took a sip of his tea, signaling the other mages not to care about the tense atmosphere and let them get some food for themselves, and then he looked up at Hysus. "At least, on this continent, our purpose is the closest, and you have no choice but to cooperate with me. ”

Haysus' eyeless eye sockets looked at Aloisius vacantly, and finally he relaxed his posture and walked towards the demons. "You'd better be a little self-aware, Aloiseus, and don't try to play any tricks in front of the Dark Lord. ”

Aloisius snorted and continued to drink his tea as he looked at the three men tied to the tree. "By the way, I'll tell you, Adeline is here, and she's also brought two young men, a mage and a mercenary. ”

"Ray and Ferne?" Barred looked at Aloiseus.

"That mage's name is Rui?" Aloisius raised an eyebrow. "She has great potential, and she's a shadow mage, and I'd love to take her as an apprentice. ”

"Don't be delusional, although Rui is a shadow mage, she is completely different from you, she knows what she has to do!" Ness suddenly found herself able to speak, it must have been Aloisius's mana affecting everyone in this small area.

"Who doesn't know what they're doing? Aloisius said lightly.

Morena also said excitedly. "You're going to get retribution, you're starting a fire**, Aloiseus!"

Aloisius glanced at Jarena. "It is said that you are Manfred's apprentice, the youngest archmage of Wallis, and I am interested in seeing if I can use your power without relying on the elemental envoys to unleash the Holy Seal to free the Dark Lord. ”

"Don't be delusional, neither Niss nor I will help you. Jamina replied righteously.

"Hahahaha!" Aloisius laughed. "If you really want to, then how can we release the Dark Lord, as long as you have your power, your will will no longer matter, even if you pass out, I can release the Dark Lord. ”

Jasmina and Ness glanced at each other, both worried about Aloiseus' words, and the predicament they were about to face caused the figure of Fern to appear in their minds at the same time.
