73. Gwen's memories
St. Lando, the royal capital.
Gwen quietly made a cup of tea, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked out the window at the bustling city.
In a trance, Gwen seemed to be back in her kingdom.
People lived in peace and contentment, and continued their lives in the great kingdom.
"Kingdom ......" Gwen cupped his chin and took a sip.
"I don't like it here, it's all human. Little Ragnaros climbed onto the steel desk, where it was burned red.
"And what do you like?" Gwen tilted her head, curious about the elemental creature.
"Flames, flames, flames, all where flames are! where the molten is boiling, where the flame turtle and the molten dog are bathing in my molten river, where the fire demon is there for me. ”
"Bethtilak was there to knit my sweater, Reolis was in charge of adding new elements to the Land of Fire, and Shane Knox was doing circus ...... for me"
"I remember that I used to have a subordinate named Deer Helm, who was in charge of developing a horse for me that was covered in flames, and I was going to give it to my daughter. ”
"Daughter?" Gwen shook her head regretfully.
"You don't like your daughter?" said little Ragnaros, looking a little annoyed.
"No, I just have a son who looks like a girl. ”
Gwen looked at the sleeping Minion Clin.
"Is he your subordinate?"
"Yes," little Ragnaros nodded, then knocked the crown off Gwen's head with Safras, "you look like a king too." ”
Gwen didn't care about little Ragnaros's mischievous behavior, and thousands of years of wandering in the furnace had made him numb.
"Yes, I also have a lot of subordinates. ”
"Is there fire on them?" asked little Ragnaros suddenly.
"It doesn't catch fire, but I have a heartfelt respect and fear of fire, and it gives me a taste of purgatory. Gwen shook her head.
"Very well, since you like fire, then we must be good friends. ”
Little Ragnaros didn't say anything like this, because he felt the power of the same flame burning in Gwen's body, from the spark at the beginning, to the flame now.
Gwen is slowly recovering.
And the words of Ragnaros Jr. caused him to fall into deep self-remorse.
Although he was in the original furnace, he could still feel the soul he had sent out.
Gwen was sometimes able to see through the spirits the condition of those who had been given power.
In the moment when he accepted the first burning of the furnace, he felt a soul being torn apart.
Altrius's share.
Arterius was the second of the four knights under Gwynn, and was of high moral character, helpful, brave, and extremely strong willpower.
His great shield is indestructible, and his great sword is invincible. He even made a pact with the Abyss Monsters, and ordinary greatswords possessed the ability to curse, capable of inflicting massive damage on the undead.
Together with his best friend, Shiv the Grey Wolf, he hunts down the infamous Lifestealer.
But what is it about such a powerful warrior whose soul has been torn apart in half?
Gwen used a little of the king's soul in his body to discover Arterius's situation.
It turned out that after he left to pass the fire, the abyss broke out, and Arterius went to Urashiru to resist the abyss, and the wolf ring on his hand was nowhere to be found.
However, in the process of defending against the abyss, Arterius and Schiff were defeated by Manus and barely escaped.
He was corrupted by the abyss and had no extra strength to take care of Shif, and the moment he arrived at the arena, Gwen wished that Arterius would return to Rodland.
But he didn't go back, and Arterius was delirious in the arena as he was eroded by the abyss.
The power of the king's soul was useless at this moment, and the scene in front of Gwen's eyes disappeared, only the active flames jumped in front of him, as if to make a silent mockery of him.
Gwen desperately wanted to get out of the furnace and save his knight.
But he also knew very well that he could not give up the whole world for his own selfish desires.
There were no tears, because the tears were consumed by the first fire the moment they were brewing, and Gwen could only close his eyes and burn his soul around the furnace.
It wasn't until the time when Arterius' soul disappeared completely that Gwen heard the words of the most heroic wolf knight he had ever been.
“...... I'm about to be darkened...... Erode away ......"
"My Humanity ......"
"Mighty human ...... Well done......"
"If your nature is more than darkness......
"Please...... Blocking Deep ...... ......"
"Ahhh......h Schiff, where are you, everyone, please forgive me......"
Gwen's ears echoed with Altrius' guilty and weak voice, tearing the heart of the burning Sun King.
Gwen fell to her knees on the ground by the fire, clenching her fists.
The guilt of ...... It's me, and I shouldn't have left you behind......
"At the end of the day...... Still nothing......"
After a long sigh from Artrius, the soul was completely disconnected from Gwen, who possessed the soul of the king.
No...... Arterius, you're doing a great job, no one is doing it better than you, no one is doing it better than you.
Willing to give his entire soul to defend against the abyss, Arterius struggled in the arena and eventually lost his life and dissipated his soul.
I am the king of Arterius, and I have no reason to ...... Worse than my knights.
Gwen got back on her feet, and on the edge of the original fire, she burned the soul of the king she possessed to the fullest, and dedicated it to the world.
"Uhh......hh Maybe soon...... I can't hold on anymore......"
Gwen clenched his fists tightly, and his dry eyeballs couldn't let out tears.
Ragnaros Jr. once again knocked the crown on Gwen's head with Safras.
"Silly big man, what's wrong with you?"
Gwen awoke from her memories, lowered her fist, and straightened her crown.
"I'm sorry to get distracted, but I don't want you to knock on my crown like this all the time, it's a big memory for me. ”
There was no need to grieve, Gwen remembered the immortal who had chosen to continue the Age of Fire.
There are already people who are willing to ...... Take the responsibility off your shoulders.
That's a good thing.
Gwen continued to stare at the window, only to find a vast white ocean.
Countless Pegasi ascended into the air, and their Knights of Light used the reins to speed them up.
Does it seem like something important?, Gwen thought.
"Hurry up! Knight Cinderella needs our help!"
The white horses converged into a white river and flowed from the air into the distance.
