wandering in the ashes of meman

73 Chapter 73
"Gwen?"

Hearing the words of the fire prevention woman, Hela on the side frowned suspiciously.She couldn't understand why the fire-proof girl would push the topic on Ge Wen.

Hearing Hela's doubts, the Fireproof Girl nodded quietly and said, "Ash should have told you, right? So in your eyes, what kind of person is Ge Wen?"

After thinking suspiciously for a moment, Hela said according to Gewen in Ashes' mouth: "A great king who is greedy for power, but finally repents, kind, brave, and created an era?"

Hearing Hela's slightly hesitant voice, the fire-proof woman on the side was a little unexpected, she shook her head calmly, and then said calmly:

"Absolutely not..."

"But as you said, Gwen ushered in a brand new era, the age of fire. But what is the truth? That era was not as beautiful as people thought... It was recognized by all races, Gwen Wen established the highest mountain city, Anor Londe, on the Rhodeland Mountains. At that time, the dragon clan had completely lost all power to resist Gwen's rule. The original dead Nite brought the concept of death to the era of chaos, and lost Without the original ancient tree, even the ancient dragons are no longer immune to the passage of time... They will also die, and the few remaining ancient dragons don't even need Ge Wen, the four knights, and only the Silver Knights. It can be easily wiped out.”

"The ancient dragons are no longer a threat. But even so, when the eldest son of the sun and the storm dragon became close friends, Gwen still chose to expel him... He is so powerful that he will fear the ancient dragons who already have the concept of death Is it? Going back to the fear of the old days when there is no power to resist? No, it is even said that White Dragon Heath, who created the crystal magic, is studying how to regain the power of immortality in the Duke's library."

"...But the voice of the eldest son of the sun is too loud. As the leader of the sun god religion, compassion, justice, and helpfulness. Gwen felt that his status as the king of the gods was threatened, especially when there appeared "The eldest son will definitely become a more reliable god-king in the future". His uneasiness broke out."

"This old man, who has been blinded by power, expelled the eldest man from Anor Londe, erased his name, destroyed his statue, and put his achievements on others, or on himself... If it weren't for the fact that the Sun God Cult still relied on the belief in justice to continue even after leaving the eldest son, if it wasn't for the fact that those remaining deeds were still passed down by word of mouth by the knights of the Sun God Cult. Then maybe even I , and never believed that the eldest son of the sun existed."

However, while the fire prevention girl was still talking, Hela who was on the side suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait a moment."

Looking at the fireproof woman in front of her suspiciously, Hela frowned and asked, "But didn't Ge Wen make a change in the end? He turned himself into firewood, and then threw it into a distant stove to turn it into firewood." Firewood burning..."

"That's a lie."

The fireproof girl said coldly: "Hella, do you know what the word "Salary King" means? He means endless glory. Becoming the Salary King means that he will be the survival of this world."

"The reason why Ge Wen chose to become the Salary King was definitely not because of remorse in his heart—it is even said that spreading fire itself is a tragedy of endless reincarnation... Ge Wen has selfish desires in his heart. In other words, the previous Salary Kings , all have selfish desires... The giant Youmu chose to join the flames for the people of the capital of crime. The watchers of the abyss, the Falan Undead Team, threw themselves into the flames to destroy the abyss. The prince of Locris... No, Locris The existence of the kingdom itself exists to spread the fire, and no one cares whether he is unwilling or harbors resentment. Eldridge, who devoured the gods, was forced to throw himself into the first fire after discovering the truth of the fire. Rather than saying that he is the Salary King, it is better to say that it is just a test product of the Primordial Flame..."

"Gewen, on the other hand, greedily wants to occupy that position, envious of the seat of the original stove. He wants to sit on it, radiate infinite light and heat like a star, and let the times continue to exist because of him. So that he can Become a continuation, a wedge that fixes the world and the times. And based on this kind of thinking, he became the salary king. Do you think this so-called benevolence is really benevolence?"

"Of course, when he found that his own soul could not keep the fire burning forever...he had no room to turn back. And at that time, the deception of spreading fire had already begun..."

"The previous fire-proof women must fall in love with the darkness, and those fire-proof women who have seen the truth have become one of the hundreds of corpses in the tower after the sacrificial ground. Therefore, in order to conceal the truth and complete the transmission of fire, All Fireproof Girls must seal their eyes with wax. Because Fireproof Girls can see the future of the Dark Ages... All Fireproof Girls are voters of the Dark Ages."

"And I love Ashes deeply..."

For the first time, the fire-proof woman looked at Hela in front of her with some ups and downs.For some reason, looking into the fire-proof woman's eyes, Hela seemed to be able to feel the despair and torture in the fire-proof woman's heart.

"But when Ashes taught me the eyes of a fireproof woman from another world, my heart was shaken... I saw the dark age that belonged to me, the age of the deep sea. The era is brighter and more beautiful! It was also at that time that I knew that the Age of Fire itself was a deception! A deception that deceived everyone. From the first transmission of fire, it illuminated the entire The fire of the world is like a kindling that will be blown away by a breeze. The burning time of the salary kings is getting shorter and shorter, and the burning speed of the first fire is getting faster and faster——Maybe someone knows it before me, Ge Wen deceived everyone! But they don't want to admit it, and they don't want to ruin the age of fire..."

"And Ashes doesn't know all of this. He seems to have been born to spread fire, and his huge soul is not mixed with any selfish desires. It is precisely because of this kind of conflict that one side is the era I should belong to, and the other side is the era I deeply love. The mission of a loved one. You can't understand the contradictions and pain I feel, the despair of struggling in the midst of betrayal and betrayal..."

After saying that, the fireproof woman fell into silence, looking up at the bright dome of the fireless sacrificial field, the starlight seemed to shine on her face.

"And the moment Ashes chose to extinguish the flame, I got unprecedented satisfaction..."

Hearing this, after a moment of silence, Hela's voice became soft even without her being aware of it.

"Then what if Ashes chooses to spread fire and rekindle the age of fire?"

"...It doesn't matter." The Fireproof Girl said softly: "Those existences with strong selfish desires in their souls, even if they throw themselves into the flames and become salary kings, it is just sad, they are just false kings who will burn out at any time ...and Lord Ashes is pure, there is no good or evil, and has nothing to do with good or evil. It is pure and innocent..."

"No matter how he chooses, I just need to follow behind him-I believe in everything about him, and he will not let me down."

"Our souls are connected..."

As she said that, a smile appeared on the face of the fire prevention woman.

And looking at the delicate cheeks of the fireproof girl, for some reason, Hela felt a sense of impatience in her heart...

"I don't know why, but I hate you more and more."
