"Huh? Ashes? Is this some kind of code name? It seems that it is inconvenient to give your real name. Haha, this is also a common thing. After all, everyone lives outside. It is indeed more convenient to use a code name. Avoid unnecessary trouble."

"...You can understand it that way."

Both Ines and Hedley complained about Ashes' name, and Ashes didn't intend to explain too much about it.

After all, some code names have been used for a long time and become names.

After a brief introduction to each other, Hedley also warmly invited Ashes to chat in the tent. He was acquainted, and he also wanted to see why this person could make Ines, who usually likes to put on a poker face and use a sword The guy who pokes people is so happy, it's like picking up a baby.

Because the Soul of Darkness was cut and kept in the flesh by the fire-proof woman, the ashes who only hold their own share of the black soul now lose their appeal to the Sarkaz. Talented people can get a glimpse of his essence.

The two chatted very speculatively, and within three sentences, Hedley was ready to befriend Ashes as a brother of a different surname. Just as he was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find a bottle of good wine, Ines outside opened the tent, poked her head in and said:

"Stop chatting, Your Highness is coming down."

Upon hearing this, Hedley immediately stopped what he was doing, and showed an apologetic expression to Ashes.

"I'm sorry Brother Ashes, I'll leave for a while, after all, it's the Highness who came down, so I can't lose my courtesy."

After all, he also walked out of the tent and went outside. This is an open space outside the Tower of Babel. Most of the Sarkaz mercenaries have also gathered here. Hedley and Ines stood at the front , waiting for that arrival.

After a while, the princess in a white dress appeared in everyone's sight. She was accompanied by a Filin woman, carrying a medicine box, with a cold expression on her face.

"Your Highness!"

Hedley waited until Teresia came up to him, straightened up, and saluted her in an ancient manner.

"Hello, Mr. Hedley, and Miss Ines." Teresia nodded slightly, "Is everyone in the mercenary team all right?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Although the brothers said that they got a little lottery, they are all fine. Those who work in our line of work are just injured. It is common for people who have broken arms and legs. There were no major casualties this time. I have to thank that one for his command.”

Hedley tapped his solid chest, saying that everyone was fine, it was just a charge, and they had already done a lot.

"It's fine. It's a big risk for everyone to take the risk of accepting the commission from the Tower of Babel. Here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all. Thank you very much for your help. The Tower of Babel will remember you all."

As Teresia spoke, she raised the skirts on both sides and gave a slight greeting to the mercenary team. She knew exactly what Kazdel's willingness to accept the commission from the Tower of Babel represented.

That is basically going against the current usurper Tracys. Although the mercenaries have no position and only take money to do things, there is still a great risk.

"No, no, please don't do this, Your Highness!"

Seeing Teresia expressing her gratitude to her group of big bosses, Hedley was a little anxious.

"It's our honor to be hired by His Highness. Everyone basically grew up listening to your legends, and naturally yearns for such a noble and gentle you, although the current Kazdel..."

"Hey! Sometimes I really want to join His Highness and serve you, but everyone in the mercenary team still has to eat, so we have to maintain the status quo to make ends meet."

"Now, I can only wish Your Highness a smooth road ahead."

Hedley clenched his fists, but he could only relax. The conflict between his longing for Theresia and the cruel situation in Kazdel made him so.

Because he was the captain, and because the people in the mercenary team listened to him and were willing to work hard for him, he naturally couldn't let these brothers down.

"I know everything, don't need to feel guilty, everyone is working hard to live, that's enough. If you encounter difficulties, you can also come to me."

Teresia is as gentle as ever, and she never forgets to appease others even when she is in a difficult situation.

She is like the sun in the dark night, full of cold and unattainable light, shining on people who are groping in the dark night.

Chapter 505 Theresa's Secret Cave

Ashes sat in the tent for a while, ready to go out and have a look.

He also wanted to meet the person who Hedley called His Royal Highness, who was unwilling to lose courtesy in front of her.

Hedley is a mercenary, so that Highness is naturally Sarkaz, and the person who can be called His Highness by the Sarkaz and become its king...

Will it be her?

Standing up and opening the curtain of the tent, Ashes walked out. He passed the surrounding Sarkaz mercenaries, and looked at Teresia who was talking to Ines about something.

At the same time, he also saw Kelsey, and found that the past was almost the same as the present.

Perhaps it was because Ember's gaze was too hot, Teresia felt this gaze, and looked in the direction of the attention-grabbing gaze——

The next moment, the rose-red eyes met the pitch-black pupils. The former Demon King and the Salary King met here. This is destined to be a moment that will be recorded in history.

Almost at the moment when the two people's eyes met, Teresia's neck suddenly felt a pain, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her neck.

Under the cover of long pink hair and high collar lining, there is a sudden black hole on the originally white and graceful neck like a swan. Kelsey didn't know where it came from, and couldn't affect it in any way. He could only watch some black substances continuously flow out of the dark cave, and then slowly dissipate.But even these outflowing things seem to be intangible and cannot be poked.

It was like a flowing tattoo, impaled on Teresia's neck arbitrarily and unreasonably. The loss of her power also happened from this dark hole.

That is a dark cave, and also a dark imprint, from which humanity will gradually flow out, and the curse will replace it and accumulate.

The moment Teresia saw Ashes, she felt a fire-like pain coming from the dark cave. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover the dark cave, and the Originium skill that had been silent for a long time suddenly activated by itself, aiming directly at Ashes.

The king of Sarkaz has the ability to see people's hearts. This is not a joke legend, but Teresia does have the ability to perceive other people's emotions and probe their hearts. This is also the origin of Amiya's emotional perception ability.

Although she didn't really like this ability to bypass the disguise and directly hit the soul of others, Teresia thought it was despicable, but this was her innate talent, and there was no other way but to accept it.

The burning pain on the neck, the confrontation between the four eyes, and the spell to detect the heart, when the three gathered together, they instantly built a bridge for Theresia, a bridge connecting Ashes' heart.

The dark soul and the dark cave, through both, she can glimpse the soul of Ashes.

------

After the dark hole on her neck appeared, Teresia began to have the same dream over and over again.

It was a strange world, the sky was a bloody yellow, the sun was pitch black, and a circle of flames was burning around it, as if endless black matter flowed down from the sun and fell into the distant horizon.

She seemed to be flying in the air, taking everything in that land into her eyes, looking around, her eyes were broken.

It was a hopeless land, and there was hardly any vitality. The living corpses imprisoned between life and death were struggling, and the people bound by fate were lamenting. All of them were so depressing and gloomy. Just looking at it makes me want to cry.

Is there any value in such a world?

With such despair, is there a day of hope?

Teresia couldn't help but think of Kazdel. Will there be a day when Kazdel will become like this?

She felt uneasy, so she chose to hide this dream, and didn't tell anyone about it, but seeing that kind of scenery too much, will slowly accumulate gloom in her heart.

Until one day, she fell asleep again, dreamed again, and when she looked at the hopeless land, she saw a person.

He woke up from a long slumber with his heavy and broken body, and set out on the road again. For some reason, Teresia had some affection for him from the bottom of her heart.

Teresia couldn't affect anything in this dream, she was just a bystander, and could only watch the fighting figure of the person who lost his memory and name.

why?

Obviously in this world, there is no hope at all?

But he still walked unswervingly, stepping towards the center of the world step by step. When he finally stood at the meeting point of fate, stretched out his hand to the spiral sword, and sat on the ground with fire all over his body, Teresia finally startled.

It is not without hope that there is no value of salvation. Even in the long night when the dawn cannot be seen, there are reasons to hold up the torch and move forward.

------

After a whole era, Teresia saw Ashes spreading fire, and now that they actually met, she also recognized Ashes.

only...

"Very empty..."

The origin stone skills faithfully brought back feedback for Theresa, and she felt that in Ashes' heart, a huge hole stood in it, like an abyss that was bottomless.

What kind of soul would have such a huge void?

Obviously he is a hero who is willing to set foot on the road to inherit in such an apocalyptic world, but his heart is missing like this?

In the next second, the origin stone skills were disconnected, and the connection between the dark soul and the dark cave was also disconnected simultaneously. Only then did Teresia realize that she seemed to be in a daze just now.

She let go of the hand covering the dark hole and looked at Ashes, and found that Ashes was also looking at herself, and the two stepped forward at the same time, walking towards each other.

The Sarkaz fighters surrounded by the two also sensed the atmosphere in the air, and consciously made way for the two. They parted ways and stood on the left and right sides, silent like guards.

Kelsey noticed that Theresia was suddenly walking in a certain direction after being dazed for a moment. She wanted to stop Theresia, but at this time Theresia turned a deaf ear to her, so she had no choice but to keep up with her. pace.

The distance was slowly shortening, until Ashes and Teresia finally stood in front of each other, facing each other, eye to eye.

"Are you...?" Theresa spoke first. She knew Ashes, but found that she didn't seem to know his name yet.

"Ash." Looking at the pair of rosy eyes, Ash replied, and at the same time, he also smelled the somewhat familiar smell on Theresa's body.

This smell is also present in Amiya, so the identity of the girl in front of her can already be determined.

"Are you Theresa?"

"Well, that's right, it's me. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Ashes?"

"I came to find you."

Without beating around the bush, Ashes straightforwardly stated her intention for coming.

"Come...to find me?" Obviously, Teresia was a little taken aback, "Do you... know me? Why are you looking for me?"

Her hands were involuntarily clenched in front of her chest, and the burning pain in the dark acupuncture point on her neck had already dissipated, leaving only a slight warmth.

"I didn't know you before, and I only heard about you. As for why I came to you..." Ashes pondered for a while, "I don't know exactly what I want to do."

The fireproof girl only said that she would bring Theresa back, but she didn't tell him the specific method.

How can we bring Theresa back across time?Ashes vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"That's it... Since Mr. Ash doesn't know, why don't you join our Tower of Babel first?"

After getting an answer that he didn't know from Ashes, Teresia was relieved for some reason, and instead sent an invitation to him, hoping that he could join the Tower of Babel.

In any case, Ashes was an extremely special existence, and Teresia felt that it was necessary to draw him into her camp.

She stretched out her palm to Ashes, with a gentle smile on her face, waiting for his answer.

But when Ashes was deciding whether to join, Kelsey suddenly jumped up, stretched out her hand and pulled Theresia back a little, protecting her behind.

"I object. I cannot ignore the risks involved in letting such a guy with unknown origins join."

"Kelsey?"

Teresia looked at her friend in front of her with a puzzled expression.
