Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1221 Waddell

"Okay." Angel nodded calmly.

He had already expected that Waddell might come to him.As Popota said, it is impossible for Waddell to have no plans, but Angel does not yet know what his plans are.

He went out alone, but he also wanted to see if Waddell would show up.

As it turns out, he guessed right.

Wardle: "Follow me, please."

Waddell flew into the distance, and the chilly wind in the Acropolis made his robe flutter.

The Dark Night Flying under Angel's feet flashed a black and gold pattern, and with a little tiptoe, it floated lightly into the air, and flew into the unknown darkness with Waddell.

When Angor left, Greve in the stone room didn't notice it, and was still "affectionately" watching Aulusia's soul, still muttering words.But Bobota in the other compartment raised his head at this time, looked through the cloak, and looked at the situation outside the window, until Angel's figure disappeared, then Bobota lowered his head, and a ray escaped from the air. An inaudible sigh.

Leaping over the gloomy acropolis full of bones and undead, Angel was taken outside the city by Waddell.

That's where the throne and the bone pile are.

A solitary lamp exuding a dim yellow flame stood on the top of the bone pile hill. When the wind blew, the flame swayed, illuminating the already dim area with ghostly shadows.

After Waddell came here, he stopped and stood quietly beside the bone pile, without speaking for a long time.

Angel didn't know what Waddell was planning, so he could only respond to changes with the same.Standing aside, waiting for Waddell's voice.

When I first arrived here, all my attention was attracted by the phase gate in the sky, but I didn't look at it carefully.Looking back at it now, Angel discovered some strange things.

Why is the throne placed outside the city?
According to common sense, the throne is the symbol of supreme power, shouldn't it be placed at the core of the Acropolis?

Also, why is there such a hill of white bones deliberately placed outside?Moreover, instead of illuminating the throne, a solitary lamp quietly illuminates the hill of bones?

Seeing Angel's gaze on the pile of bones, Waddell suddenly said: "Are you curious about these bones?"

"I'm just curious why they are piled up here." Angel said truthfully.

Wardle smiled and said it was laughter, but the sound of "laughing" came from under the mask, but there was no emotion of "laughing".

"This is their wish, and it is also my wish." Waddell turned around slowly, picked up the solitary lamp on the bone pile, and quietly illuminated the pile of bones.

"These bones include my ancestors, my relatives, my lover, and my friends." The lights flickered, covering the original totem on Waddell's mask with a faint yellow light, and his The faint words are like seeing the soul from the ancient times, slowly standing up in this pile of bones.They are all lives related to Waddell, but now except for Waddell who is still alive, everyone else has disappeared in the long river of time, leaving only this pile of bones.

"Almost all of them died in battle, defending Hangu Acropolis, fighting to the last moment. Those who killed them included the invading demons, the strongest monsters, and even... you humans."

"Sorry." Angel said softly.

"Your Excellency the Savior doesn't need to apologize for this, it has nothing to do with you, those are old things. It has been a long time, all the hatred and resentment, I have long forgotten. However, among all the offenders, You humans are transparent, at least in the eyes of our aborigines, and you come here for profit. As long as there is interest, you can even turn against each other."

Waddell talked about the past in a calm tone: "For them, in order to continue the glory of Hangu, death itself is also an honor. During their lifetime, they guarded the last acropolis of the aborigines; after death, they also The guard at the gate of the Acropolis is their own choice."

"As for me, seeing their bones makes me reflect on myself. So, I put a lamp on their bones, reminding myself all the time that they are watching me."

When Waddell said this, he turned to Angel: "Are you interested in hearing my story?"

Angel was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Wardle was probably going to get to the point.

Thinking of this, Angel nodded: "Okay."

Waddell pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "I used to be the king of Hangu Acropolis."

"But compared to them." Waddell pointed to the bone pile: "I am a coward who is afraid of death, so I thought of the way out early. I choose to share the prosperity and loss with the mainland, and completely integrate myself with this continent... ..."

"...Because of the gate of phase, or the competition for other interests, after countless battles, I survived as a coward."

"At first, I was still complacent. It wasn't until I watched my parents, my lover, and even my children grow old and die, that I began to doubt whether my choice was wrong. Later, when the cold ancient era passed, what was left Few aborigines left here, leaving only this solitary ruin, at that time I suddenly realized that maybe my choice was really wrong."

"A sorcerer once asked me to borrow the gate of phase, and I agreed. The condition I asked was that I wanted to get an answer to a question."

"I asked him, every wizard seems to be pursuing endless life, what's the point of that?"

Wardle looked at Angor: "Do you know how he answered?"

"We're just exploring the truth." Angel said softly.

Wardell nodded: "Yes, he answered me in the same way. I asked him what truth is, but he smiled and didn't answer. Then I thought about it for a long time, and I don't know if my understanding is correct, but I guess that truth may be A vision is a driving force that inspires wizards to move forward, and an unattainable obsession."

Wardell looked at Angel, as if he wanted to get the answer of "what is truth" from Angel.

"Everyone pursues the truth in a different way." Angel replied that it has nothing to do with whether what Wardell said is correct or not. The truth itself exists in one's own heart.

Wardle shook his head, did not continue talking about the topic of truth, but returned to the main topic: "Unfortunately, I have no hope of moving forward."

Angel: "Because, you share the prosperity and loss with this continent?"

Waddell took a deep look at Angor: "That's right, I personally killed my own hope of progress. If the continent collapses, I will die; if the continent recovers, I will also get better."

"The pan-consciousness of the mainland is close to you, so I can't have any intention of attacking you."

Suspicion flashed in Angor's eyes. Wardle didn't need to say this sentence at all. He said it on purpose to reassure me?
"Without any hope of moving forward, I can only waste time in this lonely world. Until, I met you, Your Excellency the Savior."

Having said that, Angel already understood that what Waddell said next was probably the reason why he called himself here.

There must be something to ask for.

Sure enough, after making some foreshadowing, Waddell stated the purpose of this trip.

……

Angel returned to the stone room above the prayer church.

When he pushed open the door, Greve floated over.Greve turned into a flame again, looking like a small fireball.

Seeing doubts in Angor's eyes, Greewood said: "There are too many dead souls here. Although they won't come near here, the cold wind keeps pouring in from the door, and the recovered body will be warmer."

"You can close the door." Angel closed the door of the stone room casually, blocking the cold wind from outside.

Greewood also turned into a human body, a little dark but with a very delicate face.

"Because I don't know when the shopkeeper will come back." When Greewood said this, he suddenly thought of something: "Shopkeeper, where have you been? Just now Master Aulusia woke up for a while, I was looking for you, but I found you were not outside."

"I went out for a stroll." Angel vaguely brought up the topic: "Aulusia is awake?"

"Yes, but he just woke up for a while, said a few words to me, and fell into a deep sleep again. The seal of source fire made it difficult for him to transmit the power of his soul. If he can..."

"What did it say?" Angel interrupted Greewood, because it knew that if it didn't interrupt Greewood, it would probably force him to release Aulusia's soul again.

In fact, Angel didn't think what Aulusia would do to him after the seal was released, as can be seen from his willingness to hand over the "Eye of Light" to Greewood.In fact, Greewood could have untied the fire seal when he left just now, but it didn't do so, and Aulusia didn't ask Greeve to do so.

This kind of mutual trust has actually shown Aulusia's attitude.

However, in order to avoid trouble, and to be on the safe side, Angel still felt that it would be better to avoid breaking the seal of the source fire as much as possible.

When it came to what Aulusia said, Greve pursed his lips: "I told Lord Aulusia about our current situation, and it was fine at first, but when it knew that this was the original Tan continent, it went I don’t talk much anymore... However, it told me to tell the shopkeeper not to provoke anyone or anything related to the Queen of the Deep Prison, whether it is Kurondo or Garm, try not to get too involved with them.”

"why?"

Greewood: "According to Master Aulusia, even if evaluated by the Flameless Lord, the Queen of the Pit is a terrifying ancient who cannot be mentioned. She spreads the terror of death in the abyss. She is a self-centered Crazy in the center."

Even if it was Greewood's report, Angel could feel the fear in Aulusia's words about the queen of the deep prison.

Angel pondered for a moment: "I see."

Angel and Greve talked about some irrelevant topics, and then returned to their room.
