"You want to move forward alone?"

Isabel frowned, a little worried: "At least bring Lily with you, she can protect you in secret. And having Lily is like having me. We have the ability of both of us to help you solve the problems you are not able to solve to the greatest extent."

She felt a little uneasy when she heard that Aivas was going to go to Holy Springs alone.

She has been pregnant for more than four months now and her abdomen has begun to have obvious bulges.

When Avas realized that a war was about to break out in Rest, he realized that he could no longer protect Isabel alone - she could no longer participate in excessively intense activities.

Although the puppet face technique can also make her become another person and gain the ability to move freely... But the puppet face is not a substitute. If the person she plays is injured or even dead, the injury will also be reflected to the body. By the same token, if Isabel played by Lily is injured and died, then the injury will also be fed back to Lily, who is the carrier.

From this perspective, Lily, who can hide in Aivas's shadow, is the most suitable existence as the carrier of Isabel's ability today.

"I'll ask Lily for her own opinion."

Aivas did not comment, but emphasized: "This time it may be very dangerous - unlike the two previous rituals of the Ultimate Ring, Aritoshi is Tianshi who is very good at attacks, especially group attacks. I am not able to keep your confidence this time. It may be easier to challenge alone."

Considering that he was already deeply trapped in the whirlpool of fate, Aivas decided to let Isabel retreat to the rear...at least he had to retreat to the position of Rock Cellar City.

The Good Lord and the Red Hands have nothing to do with each other.

Enemies of this size are simply impossible to hurt Isabel under the protection of Aivas, and any other persons Aivas valued. Aivas now has the confidence and strength to be invincible in the material world, and no country or political system can stop his will.

Now the only ones who can become his enemy are those who are lofty gods.

But now this matter has involved the change of the Pillar God and the arrival of Tiansi... If Avas, who is a mortal, still has the confidence to control the overall situation under such a level of threat - then this kind of "confidence" is better to be "arrogant".

"In addition, I plan to ask Zhu Tang and Mu if they go."

Aivas nodded and added: "If things get tense, they can at least leave the rest... If they don't come this time, they may not have the chance to take revenge with themselves."

Isabel said, "You have to ask. However, the followers who were originally going to the Holy Spring City with you... let them evacuate the Paradise City first. They are all ordinary people, and they will be easily crushed by this level of struggle."

Holy Spring City - This is the border city-state where Zhu Tang caused great trouble in the past.

In the past, Zhu Tang accepted the invitation of his resting friend and went to Holy Spring City to participate in the "Night Day" on the Winter Solstice.

It is the most important and grandest festival for the resting man.

Because this day is the longest night in the year. As long as you survive the longest night, every night will be shorter than this day afterwards.

A resting poet once said: "All sufferings will end, just as the winter solstice will come every year. When the sun rises, hope will come as promised."

In resting, no matter whether it is a free people or a slave, you will not be very happy.

Everyone has their own worries. Life resources are extremely scarce, and it is difficult to survive, and life is very difficult... Because of this, people also yearn for hope.

If life has been at its peak, then every day ahead will be better.

If life is so bad that it cannot be broken, at least I hope that the next life will be better.

Therefore, the resting people will celebrate the arrival of the "Dark Night".

On this day, even the good Lord will be merciful and give the free people and slaves all over the city a day off. People will walk around the streets and shout as enthusiastically as possible... either singing, hawking, playing musical instruments, or simply shouting.

This proves that they are not dead yet. If their voice can pierce the sky and stay until the night... they can bring this anger to next year. This means that they may be able to live next year.

The evidence of the tradition of restoration is that... On this day, those who have no strength to walk and shout often die in this winter.

Before nightfall, braziers will begin to be built on the streets of every city. Every household has a brazier at the door, and there is a huge bonfire in the middle of the city. People will send the oldest elderly in the family to carefully protect the brazier so that it will not be overturned or extinguished... This indicates whether their family has the ability to live until next year.

On this day, the good Lords will send their entourages to all the children at the campfire - normally, sugar is a poison to the poor. Because if you eat too sweet sugar, you will want to drink water, thereby consuming the precious water supply of every household. Only the water on this day is unlimited to drink... In other words, only this day is allowed to eat sugar.

This is the extremely sweet memory.

Those who have a skill will perform programs by the bonfire. Even if they cannot see their faces clearly under the dim flames, they can see dances, tricks, or hear singing and playing. Whether they are slaves or free people... only on this day people are equal.

On the other hand, the Lord himself will have a feast in the palace—the free people who are qualified to attend the banquet, as well as the dancers or singers attending the dinner will receive a generous reward. And it is possible that the Lord's grace will improvise the dinner into a degenerate feast—

If the good Lord does not have enough fun, he will send people to catch people randomly from the bonfire. Whether it is a free man or a slave, he may be captured as a material for pleasure. Some may be rewarded generously, while others may die that night.

And on this day, people will not resist. Because this is the "dark night" - people believe that as long as their life is strong enough, they can survive this night. On the other hand, if they don't survive, they are not strong enough. All this is a trial of fate.

Zhu Tang was watching the performance by the bonfire, and when he was having fun... he saw a group of camel cavalry suddenly come to catch the child.

Faced with this unreasonable and unexplained atrocities, only the children's families were struggling to resist and were killed by the knights in the street. Some even their families chose to accept it numbly. Not to mention the cold eyes of others around them, gloating.

Because of the cry of the children's efforts to resist, Zhu Tang couldn't stand the anger in his heart - he didn't know what the good master was going to do to catch these children, and he didn't know why those people turned a blind eye, but the middle-aged ritualist who was almost at his grandson chose to take the initiative to help.

Just as he said: "A gentleman does what he does and does not do. Turning a blind eye is also unrighteous!"

...But something happened with this help.

On the day of the night festival, all the people in the city are regarded as the property of the Good Lord. They are gathered by the bonfire, waiting for the judgment of fate.

This is like a lamb in a sheep pen, scattering and fleeing when the rancher enters the guests to catch the sheep. Whoever is caught is bad luck, and he deserves to run slowly... When the captured sheep are slaughtered, the other sheep will come back and continue to eat grass and stroll around.

However, Zhu Tang's actions became the "wolf that attacked the herdsmen."

Not only the cavalry attacked him, but even the free people, even the parents of the children, were hostile to him. This made Zhu Tang feel cold... He was unwilling to surrender, so he ran around the city in the dark, and the rituals and magics of counterattack caused chaos everywhere. Some people took advantage of the chaos to commit evil, some people took advantage of the chaos to arrest people, and the entire Shengquan City was martial law because he was alone.

Until Zhu Tang was rescued by Mu, the city of Shengquan had become brightly lit.

——That is why Aivas brought Zhu Tang.

Let him personally end the hatred of the past.

And from here to the east, it is Taichu's town. It can be regarded as meeting the request of Zhu Tang in the past - taking him through the Rest Desert, traveling through many city-states and returning home.

Mu is a Horus, and the direction he returns home is not here.

However, the monk was quite interested in the Taichu Empire and wanted Zhu Tang to take him back to see... At the same time, he also served as his witness to prove that Zhu Tang did not defect. After all, as a criminal minister who was exiled for three times, Zhu Tang quietly disappeared from the border for half a year without writing any letters - this is extremely suspicious no matter how you look at it.

As a monk who protects the temple who made the oath of "closing his mouth", at least Mu's testimony is extremely credible.

They headed west, crossed the desert, and went through a lot of hardships to escape from the ancient country of Anxu... They already had a comrade-in-arms friendship. Mu must be willing to help this busyness that concerns the safety of his brothers' lives.

Unexpectedly...

When Aivas informed the convoy of emergency and planned to evacuate Paradise City... and asked most of the convoy to escort Isabel away, he also told Zhu Tang and Mu in detail his thoughts.

When he learned that this time was very dangerous and hesitated without returning, Zhu Tang and Mu did not hesitate at all.

Sherlock firmly refused to leave the team, and once again refused the protection and accompanying others.

He had to stay in Paradise alone until the last group of refugees left. Otherwise, if they all left, these people might be robbed by evil-minded slave traders, or they might be confused or even killed by the inability to find people.

According to Sherlock, he has the protection of Tiansi fragments of the Icosahedral of Water in his hand and has the supreme power to control the "water" element. Even if Yuantiansi comes, it may not be able to hurt him, and the supplies in the city are enough for him to use.

He wanted to keep the city alone until Evas came back to pick him up.

Lily agreed to her colleague's request without any hesitation. Since she came to Anxue, she had an inexplicable throbbing. Being able to participate in this dangerous action made her much quieter.

Lijiya chose to go to the hawk's nest, intending to take these stubborn and barbaric guys away from her cherished nest to seek refuge in the West as the "only winged man in this world".

Because Lijiya did not obey the Red of Disaster, her authoritarian Dao Path power at the fifth level has been temporarily blocked, but she still has the ability of a newly acquired "Step Ascension Warlock" who surpasses Dao Path at the sixth level, so she will not be too dangerous to act alone.

——Even without paying any price, just nominal surrender, Lijiya still chose to refuse.

This great arbiter, who had been blessed by the Crown Lord, angrily rebuked the disaster red three times in his dream and rejected the olive branch handed over by the new Pillar God. The price was that her dragon blood rule was completely abolished... If she had not obtained the power of the Winged Man through the Descendant sorcerer, she would probably be wiped into an ordinary person by the angry Pillar God.

but……

In addition to these comrades who had fought side by side, there was another person whom Aivas had never thought of, who took the initiative to participate in this life-threatening adventure-
