In my heart, I feel more and more that I made the right choice.

Her king is nothing like those faders who only sneak into the king's city in hopes of becoming king.

Only this kind of ambitious person is the best [Dark Moon Companion] in her mind.

172. The Decadent Man Who Lost the Witch

The living room on the second floor of the volcano mansion.

Led by Tanis, they came to this medieval European style, castle-like volcano mansion.

Under the shadow of the dim dark red candlelight, everyone sat around the long table.

The Furnace Knight stood beside Tanis as a guardian, and Ashmi, not to be outdone, stood beside Lani and him as a guard.

Although he came here at the invitation of the master, he didn't intend to receive guests at all, instead, he felt a bit tense.

I don't know why it became like this.

Only Tima, who was hugging Kaguya, and Melina who was sitting there thinking about something seemed relatively harmonious.

In the end, the faded ones who were not good at this kind of scene were the first to leave the table and wander downstairs.

It is better to leave this kind of conversation and meeting to Lani, who is the princess of the Kalia royal family.

However, just as he walked down the stairs to the main hall and was about to stroll around for a while, a soft voice suddenly stopped him.

"The Faded One over there..."

Hearing this, he turned his head, and saw a hunchbacked girl with long light golden hair coiled up slowly walking towards him, wearing a slightly worn light green aristocratic robe.

He was so familiar with this girl that he couldn't be more familiar with him, so he immediately called out her name.

"Laya?"

"Ah, it's me..."

The girl whose name was suddenly called out was slightly surprised, but still bowed respectfully to him.

"Hello, Lord Faded...I didn't expect you to know my name...Yes, I am Laya, serving the master of the volcano mansion, Lord Tanis."

When introducing herself, the girl still kept that humble smile on her face, as if she was the only servant in the volcano mansion.

But in fact, Laya's identity is not ordinary.

Her real name is Zelayas, and she is the offspring of Lakad and Orochi who were born using rituals after the union. That blond hair is inherited from Lakad and is also the proof of Lakad'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.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help smacking his lips secretly, with a bit of sympathy in his eyes, but he still asked in the usual tone: "Miss Laya, what can I do for you?"

For Laya, there is no need to have pity. It is a kind of protection that prevents her from remembering her life experience, and it is Tanis' protection for her.

It was the only thing Tanith did that could be called a good job.

"Excuse me, do you know Lord Bernal?"

The way Laya answered questions with questions made him feel a little puzzled, but he still nodded.

"I know, [Judge] Rackard's friend, Bernal."

"Hmm... Master Bernal asked me to invite you over."

"Oh? Bernal looking for me?"

This surprised him a little, since he hadn't had any contact with Bernal this time around, nor had he been to the broken house of the Warrior Practitioner in Storm Hills, yet Bernal knew of his existence and invited him over?

After a little thought, I agreed.

"Okay, take me there."

"...plz follow me."

La Ya turned around and led the way for him.

However, his gaze fell on Laya involuntarily.

Whether it should be said or not, it is worthy of inheriting the blood of Orochi.

Although the loose old-style robe covered La Ya's figure, it could still be seen that the slender waist was twisting slightly under the robe, and even revealed an inexplicable charm.

Sure enough, Mr. Xiao sincerely did not deceive me.

But who is Mr. Xiao?

- squeak

Just as he was in a daze, Laya pushed open a heavy door next to the main hall.

A darker corridor appeared in front of him.

"Master Bernal is in the innermost room, please follow me."

Laya extended an invitation to him again and continued to lead the way ahead, and he followed suit.

The faint red candlelight dispelled a little darkness, and people could barely see the road ahead.

Although the volcano mansion occupies a large area, almost occupying most of the entire Miguel volcano, but in fact the main body is very small, only this small mansion, other places are used for trial or execution place.

By the way, besides the snake man, there are a large number of Platinum Sons in the volcano mansion. They are not the second-generation Platinums from Menqian Town of the Magic Academy or the Mengwen Bank, but the first-generation Platinum Sons.

However, they are all very old.

Not as young as Letina.

Soon, led by Laya, he came to the deepest room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a black-haired man wearing a silver-white thick armor. The silver helmet with the same small group of beasts engraved on the surface was casually thrown on the table, with a fist wrapped around it in his hand as if wanting to A gigantic scepter like a serpent that devours the world.

There were vicissitudes in those deep eyes, and there was an aura of melancholy exuding from his body.

"Mr. Bernal, what can I do for you?"

After Laya left, he casually sat on a chair beside him and spoke first.

The decadent man in front of him is Bernal, who is the same quasi-king as Vic, and also possesses the status of [Beast Gathering] Bernal... No, it should be called [Law Judge] Bernal now.

However, his words made Bernal frowned slightly, and asked in doubt: "You and I met?"

"Of course not, but who doesn't know Bernal who is the quasi-king together with Vic and who can hear the voice of beasts?"

As if stating the facts, he picked up the fruits on the table and tasted them carefully.

"Ha ha...."

Bernal couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, and then sighed again: "Oh, those are all things of the past..."

This sigh was mixed with too much helplessness and bitterness, and there was even a touch of heavy sadness in those deep eyes.

This also complicates his gaze towards Bernal.

Just as he said, Bernal originally had the ability to become a king just like Vic.

She once reached the top of a snow-capped mountain because of the sting of rejection, and watched helplessly as her witch threw herself into the furnace.

After that, Bernal fell into depression and hid in the broken house of the warrior.

Until one day I met him and became his combat technique teacher.

Later, after he went to the volcano mansion, the two existed like friends. They hunted together the first members of the round table - the stray magician and the white wolf war ghost. Facing the god skin duo.

However, in the end, he was inexplicably blocked in front of him, facing him with a sword.

Perhaps he wanted to contribute a meager amount of strength to himself, or perhaps he wanted to kill himself, avenge his best friend Lakad, and raise the banner of rebellion against the Golden Tree.

But in the end, Bernal is just a poor man.

173. Ridiculous and pathetic path of blasphemy

"...So it seems that the rumors are true, you killed Lakad, right?"

After a moment of silence, Bernal suddenly asked.

It's just that the fading person didn't mean to hide it, and nodded openly to admit it.

"Yes, I did it."

At the same time leaning on the back of the chair, watching Bernal waiting for his next words.

"really...."

Hearing this, Bernal lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and raised his head again after a while to explain: "I'm sorry, I don't intend to criticize this matter, maybe you don't know yet, the law of the jungle is the rule of our [Law Judge]. "

"From the moment he threw himself into the blasphemy, Lackard should and should have been mentally prepared for an unsatisfactory end."

His voice was full of emotion, and then he uttered the familiar words:

"After all... Participating in blasphemy will only lead to a bad end in the end."

Ada said that he had heard this sentence countless times, and he would say this sentence every time he came to the volcano mansion Bernal.

It is indeed as Bernal said -

Participating in blasphemy, desecrating the golden tree, will not end well.

Whether it was Rackard, Bernal himself, or himself, the final end was very miserable.

Although he didn't die tragically like Lakad and Bernal, after becoming king, he also lost everything.

Melina, Xiugu, Rodrika, Cerlian, Millicent...all of them left him in the end, only Lani was strong enough not to be killed by him, and stayed by his side with the ashes .

"Sorry, I said a little too much, maybe you still can't understand."

Seeing his silence, Bernal thought he had said something wrong and apologized again, but Ada shook his head: "No, I can understand this..."

Then there was silence again.

After a long time, he said again: "Then Mr. Bernal, what are your plans next?"

If he could, he wanted to bring Bernal in as well.

Although their paths are different, the end point is the same——

Bernal wants to desecrate the golden tree and the golden law, but he wants to cut down the tree and end reincarnation, and there is no conflict between the two.

But Bernal's answer was not as he wished, but as in the past——

"The passing of Lakad represents the end of the volcano mansion, so it's time for me to fulfill the promise I made before."

"...During this journey, I have hunted many compatriots and robbed a lot of power."

"It's all about raising your sword against the Golden Tree, and the time is ripe."

When he said these words, Bernal's face was obviously ashamed, but he wanted revenge for his own dead witch, and he did not hesitate to pay any price.

"By the way, although it's a bit presumptuous, can I ask you something?"

Bernal's words suddenly changed, with a serious face on his face: "Will you stay in this narrow place and keep fighting?"

"Even if the golden law is broken beyond repair, will you continue to believe in the guidance of blessings?"

Bernal's gaze seemed to be looking at the younger generation, and it seemed to be looking at his past self.

Now, he has already admitted in his heart the strength of the faded man in front of him, and in his opinion, he is also the most powerful person to become the King of Elden.

And the faded person's answer was also within his expectations——

"Of course, even though Elden's ring has been broken beyond repair, I will still follow the guidance of blessings and completely repair it."

There was firm conviction in Ah Fa's voice.
