To meet all the children from one to five years old.

This kind of request, which is unimaginable to others, Mia immediately understood after being slightly taken aback.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and the shadow of his eyelashes fell into his eyes.

At this moment, his chest seemed to be blocked by an invisible thing, sore and astringent.

It is said that for the priests who serve the sea god, only when their souls return to the sea can they be sheltered by Sepul and be reincarnated on the earth.

Five years ago, Sardis had watched him die.

However, he did not give up.

He began to look around for the reincarnation of his soul.

Until now, he is still looking for him and never gives up.

Mia squeezed her lips tightly, suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart.

Fortunately, the silver-white mask blocked his face, so that no one could see his expression.

He closed his eyes.

Go to Sardis.

It never occurred to him.

As a person who has already 'dead', let's not talk about how to explain his resurrection from the dead, but only say that once he reappears, the track of history will change again.

No one can guarantee what the consequences of that change will be.

……

No.

Not only that, the so-called historical track is just an excuse.

He didn't want to appear in front of Sardis because...he knew that although he was still stuck in that world for some reason, he still had a feeling in his heart.

This situation is only temporary, and sooner or later, he will return to his world.

So, even if he went to see Sardis now, so what?

He didn't even know how long he could stay with Sardis.

He never knew when he would leave again.

Mia closed her eyes, but his fingers on the arm of the chair were clenched tightly and hard, making his fingers paler.

He never wants to think about it, but he still clearly remembers the way Sardis looked at him at the moment when he was about to die.

In the eyes that are usually bright as the scorching sun, there is only a dead silence.

The blood stained the corners of the eyes that were always raised proudly in a pale color.

In that dead silent gaze, there was nothing but despair.

……

Once is enough.

He never wanted to see Sardis' eyes like that again.

It is said that loss is the most painful scar.

But no matter how deep the scar is, it will heal little by little with the passage of time.

There may be scars, but the pain will go away one day.

However, if after losing it and recovering it, but losing it again...

It was tantamount to tearing apart the scars that had finally healed, making them deeper and bigger than last time, and dripping with blood...

…………

So, just stay with the present.

Don't let Sardis know he's alive.

That way, he wouldn't need to go through another separation from Sardis.

This is good for him and for Sardis.

Moreover, not only Sardis, whether it is the teacher, Faer or other familiar people, he is unwilling to let them have to accept the ending of his disappearance again after a short period of joy.

It's better not to show up in the first place than to make them sad again.

Podoyas' Poseidon Shaoji has died.

The only ones that exist in this world now are the moon god priests of the Hittaya people.

Taking a deep breath, Mia opened her eyes with determination.

Since he had made that decision from the very beginning.

So no matter what happens, he will not be shaken.

Mia raised her hand and gestured to Fanaya.

Fanaya nodded, and arranged for someone to send Xidir to the temporary room arranged for him.

In the main hall, only Miya and a group of Hittayas were left.

For wearing a mask and pretending to be dumb, Mia gave good reasons to the elders.

He said that he was too young and his appearance was too immature. No matter his age or appearance, it was easy for Portoyas people to despise him, so he put on a mask and kept silent to maintain a sense of mystery and aura.

Therefore, they must declare to the outside world that this is the traditional custom of the priests of the Hittaya people.

When the elders thought about it, it was true. After all, they also questioned each other because the boy was too young.

Therefore, everyone acquiesced in this matter.

"This kind of strange request always makes people feel wrong."

One elder said with concern,

"Could it be that the Portoyas are just looking for an excuse to fool us, but they don't intend to let us go at all?"

"If we agree to this request, we have to take the initiative to lead that Emperor Sardis into our town."

Someone frowned.

"I heard that the great emperor is so powerful that he is almost inhuman, and his subordinates are all brave people. Even if there are not many people like that, it will be very difficult for us to resist. What if it is a trap set by him, what should we do?"

Although the Hitaya people are good at bows and archery, they can fight with ease in the forest. Although their towns are integrated with the forest, they are still much more open than other places.

Coupled with the fact that the elderly, women and children were all there, and their hands and feet were bound, even if the emperor led only a thousand elite soldiers, they might not be able to resist.

Facing everyone's worries, Mia shook her head.

"He...that Emperor Sardis is not such a person."

He said in a low voice,

"Since he promised, he will do it."

"The world he sees is very vast, not just the small one in front of him."

"However, it is too dangerous to really welcome him here..."

Shiva, who had been listening for a long time and couldn't stand it, couldn't help but interrupted.

"Conspiracies and tricks, traps and so on, they are only used if you can't win. Seriously, you really think that Emperor Sardis would harm himself for a small Hitaya like us." Fame?"

He sighed helplessly.

"It's not that I want to destroy my prestige. Although I don't want to admit it, in fact, we and the Portoyas Empire are like lions and rabbits."

"Have you ever seen a lion set a trap after killing a rabbit?"

Shiva's words hit the nail on the head, and the elders who were worried about the trap set by the Podoyas showed embarrassment.

"Then, in a few days, when that person arrives, Fanaya will go to meet him."

Mia made a decision and ended the internal meeting.

Although Shiva's brain is very flexible, his mouth is really unreliable, and it is really uneasy to let him go.

After all, Sardis had a bad temper since he was a child, and he doesn't know if he is any better now.

Miya thought silently.

Everyone had already left. He got up, came to the back of the outer hall, and walked up the spiral staircase.

The spiral staircase is hollowed out by huge leaning tree roots. The shape is ingenious and has a natural beauty. The handrails of the spiral staircase are also dotted with emerald green branches and leaves, as if formed naturally by nature.

Every time she went upstairs, Mia couldn't help but sigh.

But this time, he was very absent-minded when he walked up.

At this moment, his mind is full of Sardis who will come here in a few days.

Five years later, I don't know what happened to Sardis.

It's just that he might not be able to meet with him in person.

At first, he thought that Sardis would send a subordinate to discuss things, so he planned to wear a mask to talk.

However, he never expected that in order to find 'his reincarnation' from those children, Sardis himself came here.

In that case, he'd better not show up.

Although Xidir didn't recognize him for a while, it was because he only met Xidir briefly twice.

And every time he met, he remained motionless, not giving Sidir a chance to take a closer look.

It was because he remembered that Hidir once told him that a person's identity can be seen from his behavior, walking posture, and even his back.

If someone is very familiar, even if his appearance has completely changed, he can still recognize him.

...Even with a mask on, it is impossible for Sardis not to recognize him.

So, he can't show up.

What's more, he had asked Shiva to count them, and the total number of children born in the past five years was less than ten, so they could be seen at a glance.

Based on her understanding of Sardis, Mia felt that Sardis would only glance at the group of children, and if he couldn't find what he wanted, he would turn around and leave without delay. .

As for the peace talks, it is estimated that it will still be left to the subordinates who came with him.

So I just need to wait for Sardis to leave before showing up.

Back in the bedroom, Mia took off her mask.

Looking at the young face in the mirror, he lost himself in thought.

It stands to reason that he should be 25 years old now like Sardis, but the face in the mirror is still immature like a teenager.

I don't know if it was his illusion.

He always felt that after passing the time, there was no change in his body shape or appearance.

It was as if his physical time had stopped at his adult year.

What is this...

…………

........................

After getting a reply from the Hitaya people, Hidir left the Hitaya Forest again.

Two days later, he returned to the big forest again.

Only that time, he was no longer alone, and there were many people around him.

Fanaya, who had already received the letter, walked out of the forest with his companions, and he saw the astonishing blond young man next to the red-haired phantom thief at a glance.

No one needs to speak, just a glance, you can recognize it.

The young emperor stood there on horseback, like a lion that looked down on the earth.

Wherever he was, everything around him dimmed.

His appearance is extremely handsome, but also aggressive.

He is so eye-catching.

It's like the lightning that lights up in the dark night, like the dazzling sun in the sky.

Captivating, no one can ignore his brilliance.

That person is... Sardis the Great.

Fanaya was watching, and Sardis looked down at him.

Instead of meeting his eyes, Fanaya's heart trembled.

Sardis looked down at him without any other emotions, just glanced at him without the slightest emotion.

But even if it's just a light glance, it seems that there is an invisible force pressing down, making people subconsciously lower their heads in shock, and dare not look at him again.

This man is... very scary.

Although it wasn't to the point where he didn't dare to look at him, Fanaya also had such a thought in his heart.

Fortunately, under the impetus of Mia, the Hitayas did not choose to be an enemy of this terrifying man.

otherwise……

Breathing out lightly, Fanaya stabilized her mind, bowed her head and saluted Sardis.

He said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, there are many branches and vines in the forest, so it is not suitable for riding a horse."

After speaking, he turned and walked into the forest, looking like he was going to lead the way.

Sardis looked at Hidir, who nodded at him and jumped off the horse first.

Sardis raised his hand to signal, and all the cavalry behind him dismounted and followed.

Nearly a thousand cavalry led their horses like that, and followed the few Hittayas in front into the forest.

It was evening now, the sun had already set half of the horizon, and the fiery red sunset shone obliquely, like flames churning in the sky.

As soon as he entered the forest, the fiery red sunlight was blocked by the dense tree canopy, and his sight suddenly became dark.

A group of people walked in the forest, making rustling noises.

From time to time, birds were startled by the crowd and flew up from the canopy, or small animals were startled and fled to the side.

On the way forward, Sardis glanced to the left indiscriminately.

He's felt it since just now.

It wasn't just the people who were leading the way who came to greet him. On the right side, someone seemed to be watching him from a distance.

However, there was no movement from the people over there, and he didn't feel any danger from there.

It must be that the Xita Ya people were worried about his sudden repentance, so they arranged for a spy to watch over there, and ran back to report if there was anything unusual.

Thinking so, Sardis retracted his gaze.

……

In the depths of the dark forest, the masked boy standing behind the giant tree lowered his eyes, slowly loosened his fingers tightly clenched on the tree, then turned and left.
