Epilogue: Glory for Your Heroes (3)

"If there's a lot of danger ahead, then leave when you can get out of the way, and don't put yourself in danger – that's what it means?"

However, Flick could only respond with a wry smile to Akuli's advice: "I don't know if it's influenced by you, but I also follow the principle of thinking more about the possibilities when encountering things, and don't kill myself even if I give up - but this time, I may not be able to withdraw easily."

As soon as he spoke, he told Acully what had happened after the "Lemonglass Incident" had ended, including the negotiations between the late men and the soldiers, and the moonstone fragments that Sir Leinster had taken out. And what made him even more unrelieved was the words that the crow left before leaving.

He would talk to Flick about what happened at Lemongrass, and he would be able to get plenty of rest before he came to the door on his own initiative. He also claimed that Frick was now tied to the same vehicle as him, just as Stella had in the past.

There is no doubt that Urs Leinster already knew Frick's identity, and even his father, and knew what he had come to the Gate of the End of the North for. More likely, his actions at the Gate of the End of the North were under his control, so their encounters were all arranged.

Although he had suspected that Sir Leinster might have something to do with his father's detonation so many years late, he still did not consider it in this direction. It's not so much evidence as it is based on unfounded intuition.

At least for now, Urs Leinster shouldn't consider Frick as an outcast...... At least as long as Flick still has a place in his "plan". Giving him the Moonstone Fragment before, in addition to being used as bait, may also be to test his abilities.

It's not a good feeling to be used as a "resource", but it also proves that he has some value for Urs Leinster. Now that he's offered his father as a bargain, Flick feels the need to at least listen to him if he wants to get paid.

"That's really ...... What the hell was the old crow thinking? ”

After listening to Frick's story, Aculi reverted to his old tone: "If this is really what you said you wanted, then I won't say anything about your decision." But you have to know – even if it's just the most simple facts – Urs Leinster is not someone to be entrusted with absolute trust. That human is as intelligent as a crow, but at the same time feeds on death like a crow. ”

The demons who live in the islands of the West Sea have different beliefs from humans, and among the many beings they call "ancestors", the giant crow-shaped individual is a symbol of death, and it will fly through the wilderness in search of the weakened souls of the dying people.

Although Acully's faith is not deep, and she has not attended the corresponding festival for a long time, it does not seem to prevent her from mocking him through the name of Sir Leinster. As the leader of the Raven Society, Urs Leinster has the skills to match his various statuses – from the talent of a sorcerer to the cunning of a nobleman.

The demon had apparently known Uls Lyernst for a long time, which is why he was here to warn Frick not to trust the sorcerer lightly. But she didn't seem to want to dwell too much on the topic, and soon changed the subject to learn about the intel Frick had gathered during this time.

There is very little information about Stella Leonster, and the few words heard from the old coachman are not enough to reproduce his movements. Frick had already asked for some information about him, and might think about taking the initiative to find out more about what he knew.

As for the ancient ruins found outside of Lemongrass, he has completed most of the rock carvings collected at that time these days, and some of them do have a high degree of resemblance to the existing ancient scripts, but there are still many "scripts" that are quite different.

"I've already given you the drawings of that part in the paper kite, and after further checking the information you have put together, I find that several of them have appeared in my father's notebook. When he sent a paper kite for help, Frick also sent a copy to Akuli, which also included information gathered around the village, "Based on which I speculate that his adventures may have something to do with these kinds of ruins." ”

While Acully didn't hear back until the crisis was over and didn't seem to be doing anything, Frick had a hard time imagining that she wasn't helping. Perhaps she had done something in secret, and probably had anticipated the situation before that.

However, she did not respond directly to Frick on this question, but only briefly analyzed the drawings sent by Frick in a lazy tone. This tone of speech is very different from when working in the library, and if it is seen by subordinates, I don't know how it will react.

According to her, she had also read patterns in ancient ruins in the past that could have been ancient scripts, but none had they been as complex as those this time. The words engraved on the wall were too subtle, so she had to guess what they meant.

The ancient texts recorded by Frick seem to be records of some kind of event, and at a cursory glance they look like poems or short essays used by the ancients to record events. But because the meaning of those ancient words has been highly condensed, no matter how you interpret it, it only seems too ambiguous.

"Hmm...... No, I still don't understand what they mean. ”

After a long time, Aculi gave up on interpreting the ancient characters on the spot: "This part of the ancient scripts is indeed quite ancient, and it is not possible to fully understand their meaning by relying only on the part that is already known. I think I'll need a little time...... You will be contacted as soon as you have read it. ”

Knowing that there was no way to decipher this article written in ancient script in a short period of time with the information at hand, Acully had no choice but to say this to Frick. It would take her time to compare the literature she had collected with the same type of notes before she could come up with an answer.

After briefly explaining to Frick what he had to pay attention to, Aculi cut off contact with the demons. In Frick's view, it was just that the color of the "snake" as a demon slowly faded, and finally melted into the moonlight.

"So back to what we just said, can you tell me why you did this?"

She suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight ahead, "Uls Layster, what is the reason why you came to Frick? If you say that you want to miss your old friend and come to say hello to his son, I don't care about this old crow's wings." ”

The languid tone suddenly became hostile, and the red eyes with a reptilian-like shape seemed to shoot a poisonous glow. The magic that showed the overwhelming individual difference between the demons and the humans was unleashed with a bang, almost setting off a storm in this small room.

Located just outside Perm, this huge building with a history of more than 100 years is not only in the empire, but also on the mainland, especially the huge bookshelves that occupy an entire wall, and have become a kind of "famous place".

The massive building is supported by a large number of corner columns, the tall main hall in the center is filled with bookshelves, the terraces where the different collections are stored connected by a staircase of varying shapes, and the ceiling that forms the dome is adorned with a huge star map that is constantly in motion driven by magic.

Akuli was in the dean's office on the top floor of the Great Library, a room overlooking the entire library hall. Through the window, you can see the cold gray glow of the holy lake of Perm not far away, and even the air seems to be permeated with the special magic of the lake.

However, the room without lights was lit only by moonlight, and the object of the girl's intimidation with a magical power that was enough to make people feel uneasy did not react in the slightest. The pale moonlight shone on him, and an unpredictable expression appeared on his slightly pale face—it was Urles Lyonster.

"Don't be so hostile, Akully Aura Saganya, daughter of Rollanir, I have not come here for an old grudge against you. Even under the suppression of Akuli's magic, he was unmoved, "Not to mention that there are more important matters to deal with between us besides those things. ”

He looked at Akuli calmly, as if the dangerous aura emanating from this demon seemed to him to be nothing more than a gust of wind, and he didn't even need to defend himself. More importantly, it's not just that he doesn't want to fight with Akuli, but he also intends to turn the conversation to Flick.

"Ho, you old crow is so daring to speak—and you've been speaking in this uncomfortable tone ever since. Don't forget what you've done, if it weren't for the covenant, I would have broken your wings and plucked your feathers one by one!"

However, Akuli didn't seem to be going to talk to him, as if she was still suppressing her magic, and not rushing directly was already the greatest restraint. Despite this, the verbal threat was like a sword, surrounding Uls Lyernst with the magic that spread to the surrounding area.

"I understand the anger burning in your heart. ”

After a moment of silence, Sir Leinster spoke: "However, the enemies of the past have already begun to move, and this is not the time for us to fight each other, and for Frick Sierra Leone, this matter will also change the course of his fate—when the dust settles, I will pay for the murder of Stella." ”

After he said this, the director's office of the Great Library returned to calm.
