Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 34 A Quick Glance
After leaving the hall, William suggested going to the reception room first to pick up his subordinate Nezemar . To this, Fularo agreed without thinking too much.
She did not use the power of the "Witch King's Kingdom" and directly teleported the man beside her to the reception room. Because she had not completely let down her guard against him - facing a magic caster of this level, she could not guarantee that the other party would not change the destination when she used the teleportation spell. Once she left the support of this temple, she was far from being a match for the other party.
In this way, the two walked in silence in the corridor of the Bone House for a long time. When they were about to reach their destination, William suddenly asked:
"Let me ask you, what exactly is the content of the contract you signed with Ms. Hungry? Completely destroying is not good for you anyway, right?"
As the Duke of the Holy Tree in the Emerald Province, even if Flora was a staunch advocate of the Empire's naturalization and believed that the Empire's system was superior to the ancient traditions of the Forest Elves, she would not resort to such extreme means to completely destroy the foundation of the Forest Elves' culture and start all over again, right?
"If I don't give you a reason that can convince you, will you give up this deal?"
Floro asked this in response to William's question.
"Won't."
William simply replied with two words.
After all, no matter what the other party's reason was, he had no real intention of helping the other party completely destroy the core of the World Tree. He asked this question purely out of his curiosity.
After all, in order to stop the spread of the "Flourishing Disaster", he had borrowed the power of Lady Hunger and Corruption to destroy half of the World Tree's core. But afterwards, this also led to the corruption and pollution of the entire Ravenwood Forest for a long time. Even during the later Moon Realm Crisis, Camilla also took advantage of the pollution and greatly accelerated her invasion of the world.
Now, if he really completes the deal and destroys all the cores, who knows what big trouble will happen.
However, after a brief contact, William felt that the other party was not someone who could be subdued by force alone. Therefore, he planned to use the trade as a cover to get what he wanted first.
After hearing William's answer, Flora shrugged and replied:
"Then you can assume that I am doing this out of personal interest. Similarly, I will also assume that you proposed this deal because you want to hear the roar of a large portal being closed."
In this way, both parties will not care about each other's reasons and just treat it as a simple exchange of interests.
She did not say the second half of the sentence, but walked past the guards guarding the door of the reception room, ignored their respectful salutes, turned the handle and pushed the door open.
"...My time is almost up, and that's about all I have to say. Remember to explain the interests involved clearly to Lord William. Sacrifice is inevitable. After all, this is the sin that has accumulated over thousands of years. It is a dead end in the true sense. Even with Lord William's help, don't dream of completely preventing this disaster and preventing the destruction of Ravenwood. Focus your strength on preventing the spread of this disaster and maintaining the stability of the entire reality. Only in this way can you save more..."
As the door was pushed open, a female voice that sounded a little immature reached William's ears.
A teenage girl was chattering away, sitting on a leather sofa with her back to the reception room door. Opposite her, Nezemar was looking at her in surprise.
"Mr. Judge, you are here..."
After a brief surprise, Nazemar quickly stood up, and then his eyes kept scanning between William and the girl in front of him.
The moment William heard Nezemar say "Mr. Judge", he noticed that the girl with her back to him couldn't help but tremble her shoulders. Her reaction was like that of a student who heard the sound of the door behind him being opened while secretly playing on the computer.
"Were you talking about some extraordinary topics just now?"
William, who didn't quite understand the situation, asked.
After saying that, he turned to look at Flora next to him, pointed at the girl and asked:
"Is she the next leader appointed by the Blind Sisterhood? The girl named Yinlis Hemer."
Flora nodded.
"Then you don't mind if I talk to her alone for a few minutes?"
William continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Flora also turned her head and looked at William.
"So, you are still interested in the treasure of the Eighth Holy Spirit? Is this actually the real purpose of your request to come to the reception room first?"
"I've already said that. I'm not interested in that. Mainly..."
But before William could finish his words, Nazemare, who was not far away, pointed at the girl in front of him with a very strange expression and said:
"Your Excellency, I think you should know that this girl claims to be..."
As she spoke, the girl slowly turned her head and looked at William with her eyes that seemed to be covered with white film. Seeing this, Nazemar on the side immediately kept silent and did not speak.
Looking at those familiar eyes, for a moment, William felt that the girl in front of him did not really exist in front of him - she was like a swaying shadow, a cut film, or an echo lingering in the valley.
Although the person is clearly right in front of one's eyes, the other person's aura makes one feel unreal and ethereal, as if he or she had never existed.
The last time William felt this feeling was when Black Crow participated in the birth ceremony of the King of Hope and Despair.
When he gave up on being promoted to the 14th Void King and chose to use the power of the Seed of Hope to resurrect Blake, he also saw illusions that should not have belonged to this story line.
"I know you will come back."
The girl said something incomprehensible to him, and then, without waiting for William to respond, she continued:
"This is all I can do in the past. I'll have to trouble you in the future, Lord William."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and leaned back as if she had accomplished a mission. Seeing this, Nezemar, who was standing by, quickly reached out and helped her up, gently letting the girl lean against the sofa, and then began to confirm her vital signs.
William stood quietly at the door for a long while. After , he slowly asked:
"You were just going to say, who does this little girl claim to be?"
"…Sybilla Hemer from the past."
"She hopes to tell you something very urgent about Ravenwood Forest through me..."
