Because of this incident, Rorschach and Rachel were forced to stay in Kimo River Town, and the two state alchemists who had failed in their mission were also waiting for a reply from their mentor, Kodor.
I only dared to tell this to Ke Daoer and didn't care about spreading it around...
But the entire town had been burned to such a state, how could they hide it? Even if the state alchemists didn't report it, the mayor of Kimohe Town would have to report it. Otherwise, no one would be able to take care of the town, and no one would compensate for the losses...
The news reported should be exaggerated as much as possible to indicate that something has happened here, and it is a very strange one.
The mayor still tried to gain sympathy from the outside world and put the blame on the alchemists, while the two important alchemists could only continue to put the blame on the fugitives.
For a moment, all the resentment was directed at Occam, while Sean was left aside as if nothing had happened...
However, there was no chance to meet Ayla that night.
The two of them didn't finally find time to get together until early in the morning.
Sean felt like he had a lot of questions to ask, and he guessed the other party had a lot of questions too!
While the alchemists and the mayor were busy looking for clues about Occam and helping the homeless people in the town, the two had time to sit down and talk slowly.
To be honest, Sean didn't want to see her before because she was his 'mother', but the spell she cast last night made Sean realize that she seemed to be using powers other than witchcraft, otherwise she wouldn't have said something like 'You have also touched that power'.
"I've asked Mi'erke to guard the outer door. Your little apprentice probably hasn't gotten up yet. No one else will know what we say now."
"It seems you knew I would come to see you?" Sean looked at the mother in front of him.
Queen of the Desert.
Almost all of his status and glory after more than 20 years were given by her. It is impossible to say that he has no gratitude at all. In addition, there is always an inextricable connection between the two of them due to the blood relationship.
not to mention……
Look at each other.
You know what, she looks quite a bit like me.
No……
You should say you look like the other person!
I remember seeing Ayla's coffin placed under the Temple of the Sun in the capital of Jagun. It's hard to describe the feeling. Her appearance at that moment was almost the same as when I saw her in the coffin later. Her face was not old, but she had passed away.
Sean thought he had seen a lot of separations and deaths since coming to this world, and even on the battlefield, he had never been moved...
But only now does I feel an indescribable emotion.
Ayla was of course unaware of Sean's current state of mind. She simply sat on a chair beside him, looking at him with a curious expression.
"Are you from Adak?"
“I was born in Zambutal.”
"Which country?" Ayla asked.
"Bashalan Empire, you didn't call me here to ask this, did you?" Sean looked at the other party, his head in a state of [memories!] and [contemplation!].
"That's one of the reasons, right? Didn't you hear your little apprentice say that we look alike?"
Her Majesty is truly like this. She asked directly what she was thinking without hiding anything.
This is much more domineering than the later Sun King!
However, Lucille never said this. However, Rorschach and Rachel asked about their relationship yesterday. At first, they thought they were siblings, but Sean rejected them both by saying they didn't know each other.
"I won't hide it from you. My family suffered a severe blow many years ago. Many of our close relatives were either killed or fled. When I saw you, I wondered if you might be one of our descendants. After all, we look a lot like you, and you even look more like my brother when he was young!" Aila said.
Jagun's royal family.
I remember it was called Izdihar, I’d heard the Sun King introduce it before.
It is considered to be a relatively old and noble surname in the desert. Under Jagun, who was the emperor for hundreds of years, such a family had many branches and leaves. However, they were slaughtered when their generation was young, leaving only Ayla and the Sun King.
Of course, it is not surprising that such a large family has its bloodline passed down, and it is no wonder that Aila would think so!
"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I was born in a small country town on the outskirts of a small city in southern Basaran. I'm afraid I have no connection with your noble bloodline." Only Sean knew his origins best, and of course he would not admit it directly.
"A small town on the edge? Maybe your family didn't tell you... That kind of place is a good place to take refuge and is worth a visit." Aila muttered silently.
hiss~
Just these words muttered to himself made Sean suddenly feel as if he had suddenly realized something.
I used to wonder why the Queen of the Desert would go to such a small town to get married and have children, but now it seems that the answer seems to be clear.
There was a slight feeling of fear in my heart, as if everything about me was arranged.
Looking out the window at the sky...
Yog-Sothoth.
Is this the ending you know?
Past, present and future...
"Okay, the recognition process should be over. Now I want to ask you seriously, can you also hear that sound?" Ayla suddenly changed the subject and looked at Sean very seriously.
"What's that sound?" Sean asked deliberately.
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. From the weird magic you used yesterday, I can see that you are not a traditional wizard... Everything you used does not fall into the category of witchcraft, especially those flames, which are simply not something that should exist in this world... So you should be able to hear it too." Aila couldn't sit still anymore and simply stood up and walked closer.
"Do the whispers of the ancient gods often echo in your ears?"
Sean looked at the other person in surprise.
This is the first time someone has spoken the words of the Ancient Gods in person.
"You too?" I asked subconsciously.
"really……"
Ayla heaved a sigh of relief, but it was more like a feeling of regret.
"You're right, I can hear their whispers too." He took out the bone he saw yesterday from his pocket.
"I once sought their help in order to gain the power to protect my family, and in exchange for this, I gained sufficient strength. Now, I often hear their whispers, especially when I met you yesterday."
"What did it say?" Sean asked.
Aila subconsciously looked at the door and the window.
After making sure it was safe, I was ready to speak...
Almost at the same time, Sean felt his heart start beating again.
"Whenever I think back to that feeling after I've done it, I still tremble and feel scared. It's creepy... I can't remember exactly what I said." Ayla's breathing became rapid.
"It seems like nothing was said...but it seems like something was said."
"A dark corridor with a door at the end... and he is the key!"
