People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Her voice naturally attracted La Ya's attention, but La Ya was not frightened by the talking doll and responded respectfully: "Yes, it's me... You should be Tanis. A distinguished guest, right?

...Hello, I am Laya, Lord Tanis who serves the Volcano Mansion..."

Just like a machine, every time you meet someone you meet for the first time, you have to introduce yourself like this.

But unlike machinery, that humility cannot be replicated.

Moreover, Lani, who clearly knew La Ya's identity, still chose to listen to the girl's self-narration, and the look she looked at La Ya was also somewhat intriguing.

"...Hello Laya, I am [Moon Princess] Witch Lani, and Reinhardt is my [Dark Moon Partner]."

The main reason why she introduced herself so solemnly and listened patiently to La Ya's chatter was because of La Ya's unusual status.

Although she didn't know the details or who gave birth to this Laya, she was certain that Laya was not a servant but the child of her second brother Rakad.

However, in Laya's body, she not only felt Kaliya's bloodline, but also seemed to have an ancient bloodline mixed in it...

However, Reinhard knew exactly what that ancient bloodline was.

Laya's real name is Zelayas, and she is the child born through a ritual after the union of Larcade and the Orochi. The blond hair is inherited from Larcade and is also proof of Larcade's heir.

And Laya's other form - the snake man, is an ironclad proof of inheriting the blood of [God Eater Serpent] Lakad.

That's right, Lakad is different from Lataen and Lani. His mother Reinara has black hair, and his father Radagon has red hair, but he has blond hair, like Malika's.

This really makes people wonder what Queen Malika did when Radagon and Renala were carrying out human-creation campaigns.

Which is really intriguing.

However, even though Laya is a descendant of Lakad, she is actually a miserable person.

A poor man who can't even remember his own life experience.

Even if I remember, I don't want to face it.

This made Reinhard look at La Ya with a little more sympathy.

"Sure enough, you are what I said. You are a hero. Even Lord Tanis took the initiative to invite Her Highness Lani to go to the Volcano Mansion with you..."

"Hero? No, no, no, I'm not." Reinhardt waved his hand to deny La Ya's statement.

He never claimed to be a hero.

Because the hero needs to carry too many things, which his small body cannot carry.

Moreover, his flexible moral bottom line is not worthy of being regarded as a hero, and he is almost as good as a villain.

The most important point is that the fact that Tanis invited them to the Volcano Mansion may have nothing to do with him at all, and it may be more because of Lani.

Perhaps Rakad, who transformed from a [Judge] to a [Lefate the King], misses his family, which is not certain.

I want to meet this sister I haven’t seen for a long time.

but.....

"But this time I don't think I need to help you find the necklace or anything, right, Miss La Ya?" He suddenly said jokingly.

"?"

Laya tilted her head slightly and replied with a smile: "No, my necklace was not lost this time, so I don't need to trouble you to find it for me."

"This time I just need you, Master Rhine, and Master Melina to hold my hands."

I don’t know if Laya is pretending to be stupid or really stupid. It’s obvious that there is something in his words.

But judging from La Ya's upright thinking, she must be really stupid.

So, he and Melina held Laya's hand as she requested.

"....I sincerely hope that you and Lady Tanith will walk on the same path."

This was the last murmur he heard in the ruins of the Yatan Plateau.

As the words fell, his vision and spirit became trance-like, and he suddenly felt a light surrounding him.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer on the Yatan Plateau, but appeared in an ancient house. What came into view was a spacious and elegant hall. La Ya, who was responsible for leading them here, had also disappeared.

And I don't know why, the light in the hall here is very strange, not only dim but also full of red hue.

This faint red color comes from the strange red light emitted by the flames in the fireplace and the standing candles and torches.

It gives people a feeling of depression and mania.

However, this is just for other people. For Reinhardt, he feels that it is suitable as a clubhouse or something.

Look, if you change the red lights and red candles here to small pink lights, won’t it enhance the atmosphere?

It is estimated that you can definitely earn a good price.

And this is the residence of [Judge] Rakad, the gathering place for rebels——

"Welcome to Volcano Mansion."

Looking around, I saw a beautiful woman sitting there elegantly, followed by a male furnace knight holding a big sword.

The ax head ornament on the helmet is explained in this way, which is the symbol of the knight Otaubis and his men.

Behind him is a huge portrait.

Seeing that he was indifferent, the woman stretched out her hand and waved to him, "...Please come over here."

"My name is Tanith, and I am the owner of this mansion."

When he came over, the masked woman sitting on the chair who called herself Tanis introduced herself like this and looked at him again.

No, rather inspect and observe.

The furnace knight standing next to Tanis looked dignified and vigilant under his helmet. Even the sword in his hand was clenched tightly and made a faint creaking sound.

The posture of being ready to fight at any time, as if he was always on guard against him taking action against Tanis.

The moment he entered the Volcano Mansion, he felt the threat from this Furnace Knight.

Very unfriendly...

That is to say, he is not wearing the armor of Kallia, nor is he wearing the knight sword of Kallia, otherwise he would have made two gestures with this guy.

Didn't you get beaten up enough by the Calian knights back then?

"rude."

Tanis immediately scolded the Knight of the Furnace beside her. Upon hearing this, the knight immediately loosened his grip on the sword, but his eyes never changed.

The Knight of the Crucible knew him, and he knew the Knight of the Crucible.

They were originally Godfrey's subordinates. Since Godfrey was exiled from the Junction, the Furnace Knights also dispersed and spread out to various parts of the Junction for re-employment.

The man in front of him was like this. He joined the Volcano Mansion and became Rakad's subordinate. He also followed Rakad as an accompanying knight to King Rodel.

Nowadays, there is nothing strange about appearing next to Tanis in the side room.

Then Tanis said to him again: "Laya mentioned you before and heard that you are a hero with great potential."

"Now it seems... it is indeed true. He has become the husband of [Moon Princess] Lani and the royal husband of the new Queen of Kallia."

"...On behalf of Lord Rakad, I offer you the lofty and sincere blessings of the Volcano Mansion."

Tanith bowed slightly and lowered her head to him, and he accepted the respect calmly.

Because he is qualified.

If Racade himself was here, he would not be able to accept it anyway, but it was just a side room. No matter how much Racade liked it, the side room was still a side room, no matter what aspect of status it was, it was inferior to him.

The same goes for Lani, who is not polite to Tanis at all.

"...Tannis, it's been a long time since we last met. I remember the last time we met was before the death of [Golden] Godwin."

The petite Lani who was sitting on his shoulder disappeared and returned to hanging on his waist, as if she had lost her soul.

At the same time, beside him, as the light blue stars gathered, Lani slowly appeared, and sat on the chair that had been cushioned, with her fingers slightly raised.

She still looks so elegant, and just sitting there can make people feel the majesty of four books.

But the look she looked at Tanis became very unkind and unfriendly.

However, Tanis seemed not to feel it, and still nodded calmly and responded: "Yes, Your Highness Lani, we have not seen each other for a long time."

"...So Tanith, can you explain what you said and did?

As far as I know, you are just a side chamber of my brother Racade, so what qualifications do you have to be the owner of this volcano mansion? "

Lani asked bluntly on the spot without the slightest hint of tact or pleasantries.

But in the face of Lani's question, Tanis's mouth curved gracefully under the mask, and she said unhurriedly:

"Sir Lakad naturally has his own affairs to be busy with, so he has entrusted me with full authority to manage this volcano mansion. I bet Her Highness Lani will not have any objections to Lord Lakad's decision, right?"

"...Since it was my brother who made the decision, I naturally have no objection, but where is my brother Racade now? Didn't he say he wanted to see me?"

"Please be patient, Your Highness Lani. You should know that Lord Rakad has embarked on a dark and thorny road just like you.

Blessed guidance, arrogant empty words of fingers—

We dismissed everything that was imposed, and raised our swords against the golden tree. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Lacard is now somewhat incapacitated.

Let’s take a rest today. I’ll take you there to see Mr. Rakad in person tomorrow. How about that? "

Even though Tanis explained to Lani calmly, the scene was full of gunpowder.

We were obviously invited here, but both the host and the guest were very friendly and a bit tense.

Lani looked deeply at Tanis, nodded and said: "Okay, let's stay here for today. I hope to see my brother [Judge] Rakad tomorrow."

Lani had always maintained a dislike for Tanis.

This disgust is not because of the other person's background, but because he instinctively dislikes this woman.

However, her second brother Racade has a weird nature and a special liking for torture. Moreover, it is also rumored that Racade has an abnormal sexual orientation, which makes it difficult to find a suitable partner.

So she couldn't say much about Tanis.

"Thank you for your consideration... There are guest rooms at the end of the corridor for everyone to use. La Ya will lead the way. Please treat this place as your own home and enjoy it to the fullest."

Tanith was really like the owner of the Volcano Mansion, and even ordered the 'servants' to prepare rooms for them.

At the same time, La Ya's figure walked out from the dark corridor leading to the guest room on one side and said to them respectfully: "...Everyone, please follow me."

Lani, who was sitting on the chair, glanced at Laya, then turned to look at Tanis, and finally looked at him.
