The song is over.
The boundless starry sky fell silently, shattering and splashing countless starlight beside the two people hugging each other.
"Is it over?" Ash rested his forehead on Sigourney's chest, reluctant to leave and feeling unsatisfied.
Sigourney picked him up and pinched his fair cheek with two slender fingers, making him look up. She looked into his eyes with a half-smile: "Are you trying to push your luck again?"
Ash immediately shook his head, his desire to survive was extremely strong.
Quietly recalling the things he had done on the road of witnessing, and thinking about what he had done, he almost wanted to applaud himself for being brave... He was so brave!
He glanced at Sigourney furtively. If he asked who gave him the courage, it would obviously be Sigourney.
He could always see at a glance the true emotions behind Sigourney's expressionless or cold face.
On the road of witnessing, Sigourney had times when she felt irritated and unhappy, but the further she went, the calmer and more relaxed her mood became, and she even felt a little happier.
That's why he can have so much fun.
——If Sigourney was in a bad mood because of the Road of Witness, how could he be happy?
The starry sky fell, the illusory scenery faded away, and the true interior of the ruins was revealed before them.
They were standing in a long rock passage.
There is a stone wall behind, with only a passage extending in front. Even under the illumination of the bright magic lights on the four walls, it does not feel depressing and deep.
"Congratulations, you have walked the path of witnessing." A familiar gentle and elegant female voice sounded in the passage, "I am very happy to see you here again. Seeing you is like seeing the sweetest and most sincere flower of love. I want to offer you my sincere blessings from the bottom of my heart."
Ash smiled, "Thank you, Lan."
Lan's tone was also full of laughter: "You're welcome. If you need, you can walk the witnessing path again."
Ash: "Really--ah!" He had just said one word when Sigourney covered his mouth coldly.
"No, thank you." Sigourney curled the corners of her lips, revealing an elegant and polite smile.
Ash: “…” A little regretful.
Sigourney released the hand that was covering his mouth, tapped his forehead and gave him a fierce warning look.
God knows if Ash said the word "need", this inexplicable alchemical life would throw them back to the starting point of the Road of Witness and force them to start all over again.
After all, a wizard who could come up with such a bizarre witnessing path as a test for the ruins, an alchemical life created with half of her soul, must not have a normal way of thinking.
He no longer wasted time on the topic of the Road of Witness and calmly changed the focus: "You said you knew why we came here, and the answer is at the end of the starry sky - now, can you answer our doubts?"
"Of course." This time, Lan's voice did not come from the surrounding space, but came from the front of the passage accompanied by a series of powerful "da, da, da" footsteps.
Ash looked deeper into the passage, but at first glance he saw no one.
"Look down." Lan reminded him.
So Ash lowered his eyes and saw a beautiful little person with blonde hair and blue eyes at the height below his calves. Although she was small, she did not look like a child. Instead, she looked more like a mature woman shrunk down to this size.
Ash squatted down and met Lan's blue eyes. No doubt, they were a pair of mature and wise eyes.
"Hello." Lan walked up to him and asked politely, "Can I sit on your shoulders?"
Ash nodded.
"Good boy." Lan floated up and landed on Ash's shoulder. Her voice sounded softly in Ash's ear, "Go ahead. Welcome to my home. I will tell you everything you want to know."
"Sigourney?" Ash tilted his head to ask for Sigourney's opinion.
Sigourney nodded slightly and took a step towards the depths of the passage.
Unexpectedly, when they reached the end of the passage, what appeared in front of them was not some magnificent ruins, nor any dangerous and strange levels or traps, but only a spacious room with an extremely ancient decoration style. There was a large bed made of water-rich stone, a round table made of the same material, and three chairs - there was nothing else.
Sigourney and Ash were not disappointed.
Because the greatest wealth in the entire ruins is already here.
——An alchemical life created by the wizard Dailan using half of his own life. Currently, he is the only one in Iluf who is familiar with ancient history.
Didn't they try every possible means to come to the ruins of Dailan just to pursue ancient secrets?
Now, the person who can give them the answer is already in front of them.
"Sit down and talk." Lan left Ash's shoulder and flew to a chair and sat down.
There are three water stone chairs, two chairs side by side and one chair opposite to the other.
——It was as if he had known in advance that two guests would arrive, sit down here, and talk face to face with the host.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Looking at Ash and Sigourney sitting down, Lan suddenly spoke, and her words seemed to imply that she had known the situation for a long time. "If you hadn't come, I would have been sleeping there all this time." She was referring to the cold big bed.
"Many years passed, and one day, I finally woke up, and then I realized that the time predicted by Dailan was coming."
Ash opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Dailan's prophecy?
Dailan is a wizard from ancient times, right?
Could it be that Dailan had predicted his and Sigourney's arrival today in ancient times?
But then he calmed down again.
He is also an astrologer.
He knew very well what an astrologer was capable of.
That was in ancient times when the rules of the world were extremely friendly. If Dailan was also an extremely talented astrologer, then her "time prophecy" might be able to span thousands of years and "see" the existence of him and Sigourney.
"What did she predict?" asked Signe.
"A pair of loving lovers will enter my ruins. They are the hope of saving Iluf." Lan looked up at them, extremely cautious.
Ash was stunned: "Save? Iluv?"
Even Sigourney couldn't help but twitch her lips. Are you serious?
Lan's eyes told them she was serious: "Only if they love each other can Ilufu be saved and reborn."
emmm……
How are the former and the latter related to each other in a conditional relationship?
Could this "they" be referring to them?
Ash & Sigourney: "..."
It may not be polite to say this, but...
Maybe this alchemical life has slept for too long and has become stupid?
Thinking about the bizarre road of witnessing, Lan’s train of thought, or Dailan’s train of thought, is probably really problematic!
