The golden sun has been hanging high in the center of the sky wall for some time, the blue sky is full of white clouds like cotton wool, the howling storm in the forest has long since stopped, the churning snow has also settled, the mountains that have almost been razed to the ground have gradually faded away from the cold near the far north under the full sunshine, and the whole world is filled with a warm and lazy atmosphere, and occasionally you can see flocks of white birds passing from the low sky, making a clear chirp echoing in the air.

The slender black figure of the Gayaji Temple stood quietly on the vast white earth, looking particularly abrupt, and his whole body was surrounded by dense and criss-crossed ice cubes that grew wildly from under the ground, they were like sharp weapons piercing the ground, and the crystal clear blade reflected the bright brilliance of the sun.

The ice cube firmly surrounded the Gayaji Temple in the very center, like an ice cage built around the Gayaji Temple, but in a circle with a diameter of one meter closest to the Gayaji Temple, there was no trace of the growth of the ice cubes, judging from the truncated ice blades in the innermost layer, as if some mysterious force in that circle had swallowed all the ice blades that tried to break through, and there was not even the residue of ice and snow left.

Eisen stood far away from the ice ice area, he and Gayaji confronted each other in silence, the atmosphere seemed rather eerie, and the breathing and heartbeat of each other could be heard except for the occasional birdsong.

The breathing and heartbeat of the temple were steady, and although it was in the cold and flickering ice, there was a feeling of disdain.

On the contrary, Eisen's breathing and heartbeat seemed a little rapid and disordered, facing an opponent whose strength was far beyond his imagination, and the intense consumption of physical and soul power made him a little exhausted, but he still tried to maintain a calm and calm posture.

"I said that no matter how strong your ice is, it won't hurt me......" The faint voice of Gaya Temple came, breaking the long silence first, and his words seemed a little helpless, or rather tired, "Don't waste your efforts......

The cold and strange mask blocked the face of the Gayaji Temple, and naturally it was impossible to see his expression at the moment, and Aisen couldn't figure out his intentions. However, as Gayasi himself said, Ai Sen actually knew the gap between himself and his opponent early on, and the seemingly crazy and non-stop attacks were just to delay more time for his companions, but the strange thing was that in the face of Ai Sen's continuous attacks, Gaya Temple did not want to fight back at all, and even his pace was too lazy to move a bit, he neither planned to attack Ai Sen, nor did he intend to pursue Ren and the others, he just stood there quietly, let the relentless beating of the storm, and it was even more incomprehensible and regrettable that all attacks, no matter how fierce and violent, seemed to be unable to cause real trauma to Gaya Temple, not even the traces after the attack could leave a trace on his body, as if all the attacks were sucked into a bottomless black hole and disappeared without a trace......

"You don't have much soul power left, why don't I give you a suggestion, take advantage of the time to show your abilities other than the ice and snow elemental?" Gayasi raised his arm slightly, and waved his sleeves seemingly lightly, and a violent turbulent soul power quietly spread out in a ripple-like attitude, and the countless ice cubes that densely penetrated the ground around him shattered into flying ice chips in an instant when they touched this slow-moving soul power fluctuation, floating in the warm golden light, and the refracted light seemed to be countless stars flowing quietly in the sun, "How?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Aisen's narrow eyes flickered faintly in the deep valley-like eyes, although he couldn't guess the true intention of the strange move of the Gaya Temple, but judging from the current situation, he had no intention of chasing Ren and the others at all, which couldn't help but Aisen breathed a sigh of relief, and the only thing left was to slowly deal with him, after all, Aisen also understood the existence of the strength gap, and senseless attacks could not bring any effect.

"Hey, that's a pity, I thought I'd have the opportunity to see it this time......" Gayaji still stood motionless, and there was a faint regret in his unhurried voice, "Is it because the current situation is not bad enough to use that ability? Or is it because the little soul power you have left in your body can no longer control that ability freely? Or is it because you are afraid that the world will know about you...... Divine powers?"

"Divine ability?my ability is to control the water elemental in a wide range, even the water element from a few kilometers away, I can easily urge them, this is already an open secret in the high society of Oslan, as the black-robed archbishop of the Cesslia Holy Sect, you can't know it, right?" Eisen's voice was low, he gradually put away the previous sharp hostility, but he still condensed his gaze, vigilant to every move of the Gaya Temple, and at the same time, he could also take the opportunity of casual talk to recover some of the lost physical and soul power," I don't know what you're referring to by your god-like abilities?"

"It's really disappointing to be so negative! Since you don't want to show it, you have to leave it for now......" Gayaji shrugged his shoulders helplessly, it seemed that there was a look of loss in his arrogant figure, but his voice sounded more serious and serious, "According to my judgment, your soul power should still have room to launch several attacks, so before getting to the point, do you want to try again?"

"Topic?" Eisen looked at the black figure in the distance in surprise, the cold mask completely blocked the expression of human emotions, but he still vaguely realized something, and couldn't wait to ask, "What is the topic? is the purpose of your here?"

"Of course, the black-robed archbishop of the Holy Cult of Cesslia is very busy, and even if I have the leisure to wander, I will not choose to wander in such a deserted mountain range!" replied the Gaya Monastery quietly, "has finally piqued your curiosity? Does that mean we can get to the point now?"

"Isn't the purpose of your coming here to capture Wren?" Gayaji's unexpected performance made Ethan more and more confused, but he was still a little incredulous, and couldn't help but want to reconfirm the other party's intentions.

"Of course not, Wren Claude, I have no interest in him, and if you want to know, I don't mind letting you tell you that the real target of my trip is you, the young master of the Troxie family, Major General Eisen......" The Gayaji Temple said here and paused deliberately, the cold mask was facing Aisen in the distance, the surface of the silver mask was flowing with a cold metallic luster in the midday sun, looking both magnificent and dangerous, "However, I have given up the idea of catching you on the way here......"

"Why?" Eisen's constricted eyes had a complex depth, and he seemed to feel like he was standing in the center of a tornado, ready to be swept into the sky at any moment by an unfathomable hurricane.

"Because I want to ask you to do something for me......" Gaya Temple said calmly.

"Do one thing for you?" Eisen's confusion deepened, "What else would the high-ranking black-robed archbishop need help with?"

"Of course, being high above doesn't mean that you can do everything......" Gayaji still said lightly, with a kind of self-deprecation in his tone, "I want to ask you to help investigate the whereabouts of a person. ”

"Who?"

"Claire Frydes, Captain of the [Brilliant] Legion!" Gaya Temple said word by word in a low voice, "In exchange, I will give up the mission to capture you. ”

"Commander of the [Brilliant] Legion?" Eisen repeated in surprise.

"Yes!" Gayasi nodded, "The relationship between the Cessliya Holy Cult and the military department is not friendly, especially for those in power like ours, you should understand why I am telling you this in such a situation." ”

"It's just ......" Eisen pondered for a long time, still a little incredulous at the guess in his heart, "Hasn't Admiral Claire been on a secret mission......? Missing?"

"How can I say that he has disappeared from this world for seven years, what secret mission needs to be carried out for seven years without a trace?" Gayaji paused and continued in a deep tone, "More importantly, I learned some secrets of this empire while investigating this matter, unbelievable and even creepy secrets......"

"What......" Eisen didn't know how to describe the fear that was gradually entangled and swelling in his heart at this moment, these days' experience, countless questions, countless guesses, countless puzzles seemed to be entangled in a bizarre and strange way, he wanted to find out the key to the problem, but found that everything was like a mess, and there was no way to start at all, "What secret?"

"I'll tell you all about it after you agree to my terms, but it may change your perception of the world now, and it's certainly not entirely bad in a sense......" Gayaji said to a pale Aisen, "at least you don't have to be a prisoner of the Cessliya Holy Sect for the time being!"

"Wait!" Eisen suppressed the fear that was about to come out of his chest, staring at the cold and temperatureless mask in the distance, "The [Brilliant] Legion is a direct legion of the Emperor of Osland, and Admiral Claire is naturally also a person who directly obeys the Emperor's orders, when did you Cesslia Holy Sect start to care about matters other than power?"

"Do you want to know the reason why I'm looking for Admiral Claire......" Gaya Temple lowered his head slightly, as if he was lost in thought, his silver mask also lost its luster in the shadows, and looked a little gloomy, "Claire Frydes, like me, is the only remaining S-rank combat force in Oslan, and he is my only opponent......"

"Okay! I see, I promise you!" Eisen took a deep breath and calmed his surging thoughts, "Then please tell me everything you know!"
