Ark of the Immortal

And you.

Shirter did not hesitate, she said.

If it is Lewontin's choice, I will follow you.

Even though there are still many scenes in memory, at least there is a fixed clue now.

Originally Shirter was wandering around. If it weren't for this flame, I'm afraid she would be confused and searching the world for the afterimages in her memory.

The undead man looked at Levantine in Shirter's hand.

The sword-shaped crystal on the hilt of Levantine's sword also glowed, responding to the undead.

The undead man made some guesses.

After returning to the hotel, the undead man did not return to his room, but came to the door of Onstein's room on the first floor.

The hotel where Shirter lives is not in the same direction as the undead.

She can follow the flames to find the immortal, so she doesn't have to worry about staying together.

On the contrary, the immortal has many things he wants to communicate with Wenstein.

A knock on the door was heard, and Onstein's words were heard in the room.

Come in, the door is unlocked.

The undead man pushed open the door and came in. Wenstein was lying on the ground to rest because the height of the room was not high enough.

Seeing the undead man coming in, Wenstein sat up and made some room for the undead man to come out.

Come to see me when you're free late at night?

Well, there's something I want to talk about.

The undead man nodded and sat down next to Onstein.

The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so the undead man spoke directly.

After the Age of Fire ends, you will be in the world of painting.

yes.

Onstein nodded.

The reason I'm sleeping there is probably because the disappearance of the First Fire has weakened my own strength closely connected with the First Fire.

The two of them had talked about this before.

But that's not what the immortal wants to ask today.

Then do you know how long it has been since the Age of Fire?

The Immortal raised such a question.

At the question, Onstein shrugged.

If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago. Nearly five hundred years have passed since the painting world woke up. During this period, I occasionally traveled to the continent of Terra, and occasionally went back to see it.

You are not the only one who is searching for the truth of the world. I also want to know why I reawakened in Terra. Am I still on Lordland? Or have I gone to another world.

This is also the fact that the undead have always wanted to know.

Regardless of the nature of the first fire, it is the center of an era.

It is the evolution of rules, the source of life and death.

Time is an important criterion for measuring the length of a generation.

If the initial fire really died, how long did it take before it was rekindled?

Originally, the Immortal didn't want to think about it, because there had never been any clues to this problem before.

But today, after seeing the fire girl in the body of Pallas and learning about the history of Minos, the undead man grasped some key points.

Have you heard of the Deep Sea Age?

the immortal asked.

Deep Sea Age, does it mean the rumored era in which the world drowned in darkness after the flames disappeared?

Onstein nodded.

Of course, this rumor was very popular before you ended the flames. That salary king named Derich seems to be the source of this news?

The Deep Sea Age is not groundless, not only the Eldridge who ate the gods, but also the undead got accurate answers from the fire girl.

The Deep Sea Age is the era after the flames are extinguished. The world will be completely submerged in the darkness and abyss in a long period of darkness.

And in that depth and abyss, new life forms will be born.

However, that is not something that the immortals can foresee.

But today's Terra does not look like the Deep Sea Age in any way.

I have a guess.

The undead man spoke slowly.

Ornstein looked at the undead man. He was silent for a while, and then laughed out loud.

What, you don't think it's the Deep Sea Age now, do you? Although the nature of the Source Stone is indeed similar to that of rampaging humanity, the Deep Sea Age is an era swallowed up by gloom and darkness. Look at Great Flame, look at Ursus? These? People are still resisting the abyss beyond the world.

um, yes.

The immortal nodded, he did not deny it.

Then what if, the deep sea era has passed.

Onstein's smile gradually cooled.

The undead man murmured softly.

No longer exists?

342. The mystery of generations

This conjecture made Onstein unable to laugh anymore.

Onstein lowered his head in silence.

Do you know what you're talking about?

Um.

The undead man nodded slightly.

If this is really a new era after the Deep Sea Age, then the span of time will be a length that no one can calculate.

This also means that all the remnants of the Age of Fire will become the only past left in their memories.

This is a fact that Onstein has never really wanted to face.

Yes, Onstein is a warrior, the head of the king's four knights, he should be brave and fearless.

But no matter who you are, as long as you have joy, anger, sorrow, and even a trace of emotion, you should understand what it means to lose the meaning of your existence.

Wernstein has lived on the continent of Terra for so long and traveled to many countries, constantly looking for possible traces.

In the end, I just found the immortal.

He sealed this wish in his heart, not because he gave up the search, but because he was afraid that one day, after traveling to all places with his seemingly infinite lifespan, he would still not be able to find even a trace of the Age of Fire.

The figures that existed in his memory.

The eldest son of the sun, King Gwen, Artreus.

I can't even find a place to remember them.

If we wait until Onstein's own memory, it will have worn out to the point where these images have faded and disappeared.

Then no one in this world still remembers that great era.

That generation was born under fire and destroyed under fire.

Not just Onstein, but the undead as well.

Even if he ended everything in the past. But I will also look at the bonfire I built and remember the past.

Even if he is used to loneliness, he will learn to use memories to warm his soul in loneliness.

This is the evidence that they are living creatures, living beings.

Now, two old things from the old days come together, and this is the only remaining proof.

But the undead are much better than Onstein.

At least he could still see Solar.

But the undead man didn't bring up this topic specifically to provoke Onstein.

Because he actually found clues to the past.

I saw a fire girl.

said the immortal.

Just today.

What?

Wenstein was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe what the undead man said.

Although Onstein did see the fire girl in the scroll world, that does not mean that the fire girl is still alive.

The fire girl who takes serving the First Fire as her mission will also follow the flames away after the flames are extinguished.

This is a fact recognized by almost everyone.

To be honest, Wengstein just comforted the immortal about the fact that the fire girl was still alive. He himself didn't believe it.

The one named Pallas, the high priest.

The fire girl, appear on her body. Tell me she is waiting for me.

The immortal told Wenstein everything that happened today, including what the fire girl said.

He has stayed in Terra much longer than the undead. Perhaps Wenstein can think of more through the words of the fire girl.

After listening to the undead man's account, Wenstein was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the undead man.

She knew you would wake up.

Um.

She is even fully prepared for you to wake up and is waiting for you to find her.

yes.

Do you think that's a photo taken?

Onstein believed that it was an illusion, a shadow left in this world.

It doesn't look like that.

The undead man shook his head.

I truly touched her soul.

The soul of a fire girl is very special. Different from ordinary souls, the soul of a fire girl can establish a connection with flames.

The souls collected by the undead can be transformed into their own power by the fire girl.

The immortal has experienced this process of touching the soul countless times, and the immortal will not recognize that familiar touch.

The undead are convinced that the soul of the fire girl is still alive.

If the fire girl is still alive, does that mean that the age of fire is not far away from them?

if it is like this...

Ornstein was also aroused by the immortal's words.

Perhaps your awakening was not a coincidence. Do you still remember what happened to Dayan?

The immortal nodded. Of course he remembered that Dayan's experience left a deep impression on the immortal.
