Shilein added a note explaining that this is a farming method passed down from ancient times by the Marfa Temple.

"We know how much you fairies cherish the forest, but the food in the village is very scarce now, and we are sharing the few remaining stocks with each other. If we don't cultivate new farmland, we will not be able to survive the next crisis. Winter."

"Dido, since we are outsiders now, it is better not to interfere in the affairs of the village."

Although Bill tried to comfort her, Deedlett still looked seriously at the thick white smoke rising opposite the house.

Slein's house has been partially rebuilt since two years ago, and the inside is surprisingly tidy.

In the newly built living room, there is still enough space for seven people.

"Hey, things have changed a lot compared to two years ago!" Bill said coldly.

"I prefer the way I looked before, but my wife likes to be clean, so..."

Slein replied smoothly, and Bill also said that was the case, but when he understood the meaning of the words, he cried out in surprise.

"My wife?! Shi Lein, are you married?"

"Ah, so I forgot to introduce you to you. She should be in there, I'll call her out."

As Shlein said this, he walked into the room inside. The sound of Shlein talking to a woman came from behind the door.

As if being pushed out by Shilein, a woman appeared in front of them.

Bill, who lowered his head to say hello, saw her face and stood up in surprise.

"Ka, Kara..." The name came out unconsciously.

Yes, this woman used to be called Kara.

Intricate memories appeared in Bill's mind, and he stared at the woman's face motionlessly.

Her real name is Lelia, the daughter of Nis, the highest priest of the Marfa Temple.

Bill came to Alanya just to meet this person, and part of the reason was to put aside his previous grudge against this woman. He originally thought that she had returned to the Marfa Temple in Tabor, and he could meet her in Saxony.

What a blessing.

However, after actually meeting her face to face, the conclusions I had sorted out in my mind flew into the air.

Slein just said sorry for the late introduction and sat down as if nothing happened.

"When did you get married?" Deedlit asked Slein awkwardly.

"We decided together on the way back after saying goodbye to you. After we came back, we immediately held a ceremony at the Marfa Temple, and even got laughed at by my mother-in-law."

Of course, Deedlit thought, her daughter, who had been missing for seven years, suddenly came back with a son-in-law. No mother would be shocked.

"A lot has happened between us." Deedlit sighed and looked at her face.

This woman had fought with them several times before, but of course it was not of her own will. I remember the two battles with Wallis, the reunion at the Tower of the Great Sage, and the scene where Jim was killed.

The final battle at Lake Noana.

But now, she no longer has the cold expression of the witch.

"Does she still have any memories of the past?"

Deedlit remembered the question she must ask.

This is not only the important purpose of this trip, but also an invisible wall that they will have to face sooner or later in the future.

Although the trip to chase Carla was in the past, the scars left in my heart were too deep. The scene of Jim being killed by her is still imprinted in my heart. The feeling of wanting to pierce her with a sword at that time,

It's definitely not just a momentary impulse.

Slein showed an expression of pity for his wife, which was equivalent to giving Deedlit the answer. Lelia showed a determined attitude and stood up straight.

"Yes, I remember. I remember you and this paladin..."

Then silence dominated the whole room.

Breathless silence.

It's like causing an illusion, making people think that the air in the room has stopped flowing.

Marsh originally wanted to make some cheap jokes to break the ice, but he couldn't tell them.

These people have survived bearing a lot of sorrow and pain that caused this silence, and mercenaries fighting for money cannot break it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Deedlit whispered as if she was trying to force out the words.

"I understand how heavy it is to live with such unbearable memories. It is much more difficult than choosing to die in peace."

Bill bowed his head deeply to Lelia. Bill should have more hatred for this woman. Since even he agreed, Deedlit no longer had to have a grudge against this woman.

"In Marfa's teachings, it is completely forbidden to cut off one's own life. Indeed, as you said, death is the easiest way to escape. However, what I have done cannot be forgiven by death, so I I want to live and contribute to the reconstruction of Rhodes Island."

"I think the idea is great." Bill replied honestly.

"Lelia, making a decision that is too firm will hinder you. If you want to achieve your wish, you must wait until the end to make up your mind. Don't be too anxious."

Slein spoke to his wife in his usual gentle tone, but his words were full of sympathy for his wife.

"In any case, you two should sit down first. It seems that there are many impatient people around me, but maybe it's because I am a slow man..."

Bill sat down after listening to Slein's words, and Lelia also sat next to Slein.

Even Bill knew that the union between the two of them was definitely not something that could be explained clearly in just one sentence of love between husband and wife.

After that, they will be combined with a fate in their lives and must face the chaos of Rhodes Island. Just like they are still pursuing Kara, on the other hand, they must also make a relationship with the Gray Witch. duel.

Bill felt sympathetic to the responsibility that Slein was about to bear.

"Maybe as Shilein said, I am a person who can only live a busy life..."

Bill concluded and entered the real topic.

"Well, I knew it was like this. From the beginning, I felt that you wouldn't come back just because of nostalgia. What you want to ask about is the witch? I have read a lot of documents since then... …”

"Wait, listen to me first. Although what I want to ask is related to Kara, it has nothing to do with Woodjack. And rather than asking you, I prefer to ask Miss Lelia directly, but it is really difficult to say. A little bit..."

"That's right. It seems that I can't see her happy face for a while now."

"I'm so sorry." Bill apologized honestly.

"What do you want to ask me?" Lelia looked directly at the young warrior.

"I hope you can tell me the overall conspiracy carried out by Kara in Frame before the Heroic War."

"Frem? Are you under His Majesty Ka Xiu's banner now?" Shlein interrupted the conversation. He also has a personality that will definitely speak out if he has any questions.

"That's not true, I'm just working together with him. After all, I respect His Majesty Ka Xiu very much, and I also like him quite a lot. And now His Majesty Ka Xiu and Frame are facing a crisis brought by the desert barbarians."

"Then I can probably guess that Zhu Rong was liberated? It seems that the elf's obsession really made the dream come true." Lelia nodded and said.

"That elf should be called Yazmo?"

"Yes." Lelia's tone was not panicked at all. But now, her heart must have been aroused by ripples caused by recalling the painful memories that Kara had left over the past seven years.

"Kara made two foreshadowings for Flame. The first was to introduce the priests of the Dark God and his Dark Knights, and the other was to tell them how to liberate Zhu Rong."

"What method?" Bill asked.

"If you want to understand this, you must talk about the war between the ancient kingdom and the desert people." Lelia began to speak quietly.

"During the Ancient Kingdom, people who could not use magic were considered barbarians, and they were treated as slaves. The people who lived in Frame at that time were no exception. The magicians of the Ancient Kingdom came to conquer the people here.

The army was sent.

However, there is a great elf named Hua Xuan in this tribe. In order to fight against the military power of the ancient kingdom, he considered using Zhu Rong, Zhen and others?

However, in order to implement this powerful spell, they sacrificed many things. The first was Hua Xuan's own death, and in order to enhance the spiritual power of wind and fire, their land lost the spiritual power of water and earth.

As a result, Frame's originally fertile grassland turned into a barren desert."

"That desert was originally a grassland?!" Bill exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes" Lelia answered.

"Zhen and Zhu Rong abided by their covenant to help the people of Huaxuan. Although they paid a great price, this covenant also protected these desert people from ever being attacked by the ancient kingdom.

However, the nobles of the ancient kingdom made magical artifacts to deal with Zhen and Zhu Rong. This is the ancient secret treasure called the Sealed Pot.

In addition, the governor of Rhodes Island at that time was good at scheming and took advantage of the chaos among the desert people to transfer the responsibility to the priests of the two tribes."

"That's it!" Bill cried out. The reason why the two tribes' myths blamed each other has now been explained. The legends of both of them are not false.

"Kara is a magician in the ancient kingdom, so of course she knows this fact. So she wants to use the reappearance of the covenant to deal with Flame, and the person she chooses is Yazmo. This person is a descendant of Hua Xuan,

Therefore, he has the qualifications to make Zhu Rong abide by the covenant. However, being a descendant of Hua Xuan is not the only condition. You must also have considerable elf qualifications, so I did not have high expectations for him at the time..."

Carla's disrespectful behavior made Bill feel new anger.

"Can you control Zhu Rong in this way?"

"Yes. Being descendants of Hua Xuan and being proficient in Jingling language are the two necessary conditions for controlling Zhu Rong."

Then Lelia sighed and looked at Bill quietly.

"These are all I know. In addition, you must remember that Yazmo has very strong ambitions. He has almost gone crazy in order to have power and revenge. He is a small and pitiful person.

He will self-destruct sooner or later if he continues like this. Kara did not give him detailed information, only telling him the location of the sealing pot that sealed Zhurong, and the secret code to prevent him from being attacked by the stone giant.
To be continued...
