"Look up to the sky, high up there... Planets hang in the night sky..."

"...they will return, and humanity will discover..."

"Rising from the depths of the sea, coming from the surface... they will return!"

The fishman continued to laugh and speak in words that Sean and Frelia could hardly understand. He looked extremely crazy. In the end, they couldn't even communicate normally. Sean tried several times, but he just kept laughing and refused to speak.

"Sean..."

Turning around, I saw Frelia's charming face that seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Go out first, I'll talk to you later..." After probably realizing that he couldn't hear any valuable information from the fishman, Sean decided to let it go for the time being. The other party looked very much like those crazy believers and was now in a state of madness.

Looking at the prison cell environment, such darkness and oppression can indeed cause people to become mentally ill, and there seems to be a reason for this state.

"Sean." Frelia called out again after walking out of the cell door.

"Well, I know what you want to ask. I just tried to deceive it, but I didn't expect it to really understand what we said. So it should be able to understand everything you said to it before."

"I see."

He saw Frelia's look of obvious [doubt!], but he didn't pursue the matter further.

After all, she is still one of the leaders of the entire team, and she should focus more on the current enemy on the battlefield.

"We didn't seem to have talked about anything, but what do you think about what he said just now, Sean?" Frelia suddenly asked this question, and then she realized why she was asking the same question again.

It seems that every time the other person is around, he would casually ask for his opinions on various things. Last time, because of this incident, Prince Philip even asked about their relationship in a roundabout way.

It was difficult to answer at the time, and deep down I secretly felt that it was indeed inappropriate.

After all, his identity is always being watched by people from all over the empire. Even if many people dare not target him, they will subconsciously target the people around him. Once he gets close to someone, that person may become a thorn in the eyes of many people. Sean is just a small baron, and it is difficult for him to live a stable life among so many noble powers.

Judging from Frelia's experience of knowing people over the years, the man in front of her has always liked to live a quiet and ordinary life. If she hadn't dragged him to Lietis, he might have gone back at that time.

Sean looked at Frelia, who seemed to be in a state of "Thinking!", wondering if she would think so much...

He simply responded to the matter at hand.

"You heard it just now, right? He kept talking about various summoning things. This thing... isn't it familiar?" Sean looked at the other party.

Frelia's face was full of confusion, but it quickly changed to relief.

"You mean..."

"You clearly fought it at that time."

If Sean extracts the key words "summoning" and "madness", the first thing he can think of is the battle in Koga City. Wasn't that chaotic garbled creature summoned by the wizard Weisman at that time?

"It seems that the empire has really encountered some problems in recent years. Two such incidents have occurred in a short period of one month."

Sean blurted out his previous thoughts, which could no longer be explained by coincidence.

"Do you think it's the Immortals again?"

"perhaps……"

"We are facing the possibility of the same situation now. I don't know if you can continue to fight against the other party then." Sean looked at Frelia. At that time, the other party was able to face the Eye of Chaos head-on because the monster's appearance time was limited, but who knows what would happen if so many "sacrifices" were used!

Frelia lowered her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Actually, I have one more thing I want to show you, Sean."

ah?

Why are there so many things for me to see!

"What else?" For a moment, Sean felt like a tool.

"Come with me."

Frelia once again returned to the command center, which was actually her room, and then took out a small square box from the head of her bed.

"Open it and take a look..." He motioned to Sean to open it.

It was just an ordinary box, not too big and could be held in one hand. When Sean opened it, there was a palm-sized stone quietly placed inside... There were complicated patterns on it, and some strange-looking words.

"This is?"

"This is the Cain Slate," Frelia said.

“This is it!”

Sean took another closer look in surprise. It was just an ordinary stone slab with writing on it. There was nothing special about it except that there were some words on it that he couldn't understand... Oh, and the material of the stone slab was very special, but it was much smaller than he had imagined.

This thing is the thing that caused the Koga City incident and is coveted by many wizards? ! !

"Yes. I brought it out from Prince Philip because I thought it was related to this incident. What you just said was actually mentioned in our meeting, so I brought it out."

Frelia had never mentioned this matter to me before, but since she didn't mention it, why did she show it to me today!

"I want to get one thing off your chest, Sean."

"What?"

"Can you help me keep this stone tablet? I don't want it to fall anywhere. Once the Black Feather Knights fail in this mission, I hope it will disappear from this story forever and not fall into anyone's hands." Frelia's words sounded like she was giving some instructions.

"What do you mean?"

"Just by the way...but I want to give this stone tablet to you. We have studied it for a long time but can't explain what is on it. If you can solve it one day!" Frelia closed the box and stuffed it into Sean's hands.

"Put it on..."

……………………

Night falls again, which means danger is approaching again.

In fact, it was difficult for Sean to think of a way to fight against the summons or those unknown creatures. Now the ten stars in the sky were constantly moving. According to them, when they reached the correct position, the thing they were waiting for would appear. If it was still the eye monster, he didn't know how to fight it this time.

Waste time or just run away?

I really can't imagine what I can do in a battle like that...

There would be a dinner in the camp before night fell. During the dinner, Sean kept thinking about these issues. Many mercenaries came to thank him, but he didn't take it to heart until Frelia and several leaders appeared and announced that the team would launch another attack on Tacoma City tomorrow.
