There was originally a swimming pool outside the villa, but it was quickly converted into a steam spa at Ash's strong request. Igula was squatting beside it with his knees hugged, watching the stardust flowing in the waves.

"If you want to go down and take a bath, go ahead. No one is stopping you."

Igula thought about it, and actually took off his boots and socks, rolled up his pants to his knees, carefully touched the water surface with his toes, let the hot spring soak to his ankles, and quietly watched the ripples caused by the shaking of his toes.

He turned around and saw Ash sitting in a wheelchair, "You really use this toy to get around?"

Ash pointed his thumb at the villa behind him and said, "Rose is watching. She's not kidding. If I hadn't insisted on refusing, she would definitely help push the wheelchair behind me...Give me your hand."

Igula looked at his bloody fist and handed it over casually.

The area around the villas is not quiet. The noise of dump trucks and fire trucks always pierces the sky. This is because the aftermath of the "Golden Rain Disaster" hit the commercial center of the villa area, killing 132 people and injuring 12. The official report is a meteorite disaster, but even meteorite fragments cannot be found at the scene. The rescue excavation of the ruins has not yet ended. In addition, there are broken sewer pipes, fiber optic cables and other messy things. Therefore, the entire villa area is like an ant on a hot pot and cannot rest.

And this was just a "small problem" caused by a fire explosion that accidentally flew out when the Curse Spirit Fire Mage cast a spell. As for the main battlefield of the Demon War, as the TV host said, "all the people in Jiashi lost their loved ones, relatives and friends on this day."

Sometimes Ash was really curious about the "idyllic era" thousands of years ago in Vishi's words. In that era, the Lord God had not yet been able to rule the world, and the world was composed of different countries under the alliance of magicians. It was the free era that Vishi longed for, full of conflicts and opportunities.

But freedom has a synonym, which is 'chaos'.

Ash couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be if a group of legendary magicians fought each other recklessly. Even if magicians could establish a peaceful order, it would be meaningless. Vichy, the chaos fanatic, was the best example. When all the power was combined, the strong could trample on the rules at will and even avoid all punishment.

No shackles can ever bind a magician.

Blood Moon's bloodline prohibition law, Gospel's gospel system, Senluo's religious beliefs, Starry Nobility... Although the systems of the six countries are different, when you look closely, they are all trying to guide the magician group. Ash doesn't know if the six countries can continue to live in peace and harmony, but it's better than returning to the idyllic era when Vichy can thrive.

After a fire truck with sirens blaring went away, Ash finished the treatment, put down Igula's hand and said, "You don't really expect me to give you psychological counseling, do you? At least between the two of us, I usually don't play this role."

"I never expected you to be a counselor, but I also didn't expect you to be a bad companion." Igula glanced at him and said, "I think I have made it clear that I have no intention of talking. I can resolve my inner emotions by myself. You just need to shut up."

Ash breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I don't know how to comfort others. After all, when I'm in a bad mood, it's either you or the Sword Princess Witch who comforts me."

Igula couldn't help but ask: "What if the Sword Witch is in a bad mood?"

"Hmm - maybe it's the same as you, they just need me to be with them." At this point, Ash suddenly had an idea: "Wait, you also just need me to be with you, so my position in your heart is almost the same as my position in the hearts of Sword Lady and Witch?"

"I just want you to shut up!" Igula was so angry that he almost yelled, and his feet fluttered in the hot spring, splashing water.

"As you wish, I will quietly accompany you and become your spiritual pillar of strength." Ash moved the electric wheelchair forward little by little to Igula's side. "Who made me accidentally become a beautiful and important part of your life?"

Igula silently grabbed his wheelchair and said, "As long as you don't touch the ground, Miss Rose won't resign, right?"

"If you dare to push me down, Rose will apply for a restraining order to prohibit you from appearing within one kilometer of me." Ash said quickly: "She listens to me in other aspects, but she will never compromise on safety. She will not allow herself to watch me get into danger. She will think it is her responsibility..."

Halfway through his words, Ash realized he had said the wrong thing. As expected, Igula stared at the water silently, shaking his feet, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ash sighed, "It's not your fault, but... If you must say, the Kingdom of Stars is more likely to take our lives than the Secret Poison of Hell, and the key reason why we have to stay in the Kingdom of Stars is that we came to the Kingdom of Stars, and the reason we came to the Stars is because we couldn't go to the Kingdom of a Thousand Wishes and were attacked by Vichy... That's right!"

"All the blame lies with Vichy. I will punish her by making her wash my feet tonight! This source of all evil must be punished!"

Igula glanced at him dimly: "Do I look like someone who deceives himself?"

"Didn't you say that the first person a trickster deceives is himself?" Ash replied.

"But deceiving yourself is to put on a mask." Igula said softly: "Lies are the patterns of the mask. The more exquisite it is, the easier it is to confuse others."

He lowered his eyes to look at his reflection in the water: "But you are so stupid, I can gain your trust even if I don't have any marks on my face."

"So you should understand that Harvey did it on purpose." Ash said, "There is no fool among legendary magicians. He deliberately wanted to die with us."

Just now, Igula and Vichy discussed so much important information. Harvey didn't listen carefully to the other information, but only asked Igula why he would conduct the promotion ceremony. He also pretended that he understood it as well, and asked about the details of the secret poison of hell. After a little thought, Ash understood his intention.

"I know." Igula said, "That's why I can't forgive myself... I was actually deceived by the necromancer!"

"ha?"

"I should have reacted when he asked about non-necromancers!" Igula gnashed his teeth and said, "He never pays attention to important information. If we hadn't taught him the secret poison of the Colorless Dream, he wouldn't have known he was infected with the poison! This is simply like a chef being bitten by a fat man. I was actually tricked into getting information by someone like him who can't even disguise himself! I am simply a disgrace to the fraudster. Go back to the orphanage and take care of the children!"

Ash smiled and said, "Your plan for retirement is to go back to the orphanage and take care of the children?"

"The secret of deception is to treat the target as a child." Igulla said: "Most people in this world have not grown up, they just can't continue to be children. I think I am still very talented in early childhood education."

"So, you're just angry that you were deceived by Harvey, not angry that you put Harvey in danger?"

"Otherwise?" Iguera replied: "We should have kicked Xavi out of the team long ago and let him fend for himself."

Ash smiled and patted Igula on the shoulder. Igula looked down at the water, his blond hair hanging down, and his expression could not be seen.

Time flows quietly, and the evening breeze creates wrinkles on the water's surface.

"He really shouldn't have followed us." Igula said softly, "He is different from us."

"You are a vortex of disaster. Wherever you go, there will be trouble. No matter where you are, you can't stay for long. Although I am dragged here and there by you, I myself yearn for big scenes and big events, and traveling to the six countries has always been my wish. So even if you are not a good teammate, rushing around the land with you... is indeed a very interesting adventure."

"Let me make it clear first." Ash said, "I am not deliberately chasing disasters. Gospel is because of Liz, Senluo is because of Black Crow and Silver Lantern, and Fanxing is just unlucky. It has nothing to do with me, okay?"

Igula patted his hands, with an expression that said, "Since you are like this, I will obey you." "Well, you are right."

"But Harvey will neither provoke anyone in trouble, nor does he want to travel, nor is he interested in participating in any incidents. He has always just wanted to be a forensic doctor who enriches himself. Unless it is a paradise where everyone lives forever, he can stay anywhere."

"On the contrary, it was because he followed us that he delayed his own life."

"He doesn't care," Ash said.

"He should care." Iguala kicked out a splash of water: "He is a genius."

"Unlike someone like you who is entangled with good and bad luck, and unlike a magician like me who is just a little clever, he is a person with talent."

"When I was watching the stars, I took some time to watch a movie. The heroine in the movie was a very smart person, but because of her poor family background, she hung out with a group of low-class people and spent her days in debauchery."

"There is a supporting character who says to the heroine, 'Every time I go to see you, I hope you don't respond, and then I will be happy to find that you have moved to a better place to explore your talents, and then I will never hear from you again, and we will never see each other again.'"

Igula looked up at the stars in the sky, "I have always expected that one day he and his coffin will suddenly disappear without a trace... before we kill ourselves."

Ash was slightly distracted, then suddenly burst out laughing and said, "I really didn't expect that..."

"Of course you didn't expect that. You must have thought that we were happy to follow you through life and death, right?"

"No, I didn't expect you to have such weak thoughts."

Igura raised his eyebrows: "Also?"

"Do you know when I felt the most anxious?" Ash said, "When we first arrived at Senluo."

"There is no destiny, no oppression from the strong. You two came to Senluo only because of me. You could have lived a happy and peaceful life if you stayed in Fushigi. At that time, I thought it would be better if we parted ways earlier, so that I would not implicate you."

"Then something happened and I made Sword Princess sad, so I started to wonder if Sword Princess would be better off if she hadn't met me."

“But then I was relieved.”

Igura: “Why?”

"Of course it's because Sword Princess forgave me." Ash replied: "Otherwise, could it be because of you?"

“…”

"But I also know that you don't blame me." Ash said: "My anxiety lies in the fact that I thought there was a way to make you better. But from the beginning, I have been a beautiful and important part of your life. You can't give me up at all - hey, don't push! Rose will really beat you!"

"On the other hand, if you guys get into trouble, I can't just sit there and watch." Ash smiled, "I can't get you out of my life anymore."

"It's the same for Harvey. The path you imagined, Igula, has never been an option for Harvey. He likes to study corpses, but he must study corpses near us. Even if he hadn't been infected with the secret poison, he would have brought his army of undead to hell with us."

Igula sighed: "Although I should be moved here, the necromancer is really disgusting..."

Ash also had mixed feelings: "Yeah... I can fight for Harvey, but I really don't want to invite him to my wedding."

"It doesn't matter. You can just pick one wedding to invite him to. That way, at most you'll only have to ruin one."

"Why do you make it sound like I'm going to have many weddings?"

"Do you still want to hold only one?" Igulla raised his eyebrows: "Do you think they will be willing to hold it together?"

Ash looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually, I have a way to block the secret poison of hell."
