Chapter 1857 Let’s Talk About It Then

Blaze used paper to copy the pattern on the sun gem. Because five pieces were missing, the pattern was quite incomplete, basically looking like the traces left by natural wind and frost.

But Blaze could be sure that these must be meaningful texts because the [Seal of St. Longinus] was pointing to these pictures and texts.

Although the [Mark of Saint Longinus] simply chose to give up when facing Tiamat, Blaze still chose to forgive it considering that it had not failed normally.

But this also means that all the fragments of the Sun Gem must be found to obtain complete intelligence.

According to the process, there is no problem, but the difficulty is extremely high.

There are a total of nine mobile fortresses, three of which were destroyed in the past two years. The sun gems that had lost their power were originally placed in the treasuries of the Giant Kingdom and the Holy Cross Kingdom respectively, and now they are in front of them. The other one that has not lost its power is being placed in the Freemasonry Guild.

The Masonic piece is not a problem; the problem is the remaining five pieces of the Sun Gem fragments.

It's not that there are no traces at all. The conquest of the infamous moving fortress is an event worthy of being recorded in history. If you follow the clues, you can still find them. Lupin XIII found two, but only two.

It was precisely because he had no idea what to do with the remaining three pieces that Lupin XIII appeared here. The worst-case scenario was that the remaining three pieces had already turned into ordinary rubble over time.

This is also the reason why Blaze turned a blind eye to the Ninth Princess in the end. He needed the person involved to fill the vacancies of the three sun gems.

However, this meant that their initial speculation that the Sun Gem would contain information about the location of the Sun Chariot left by the Immortal Tribe was wrong.

On the Sun Gem is a map to the treasure location of the Magic Kingdom.

In fact, he had a bold guess that the mysterious person who helped the Magic Kingdom was actually from the Immortal Tribe. However, this speculation was just his intuition, and there were many unreasonable contradictions in it.

For example, why did they allow the Magic Kingdom to attack their tribe? Was it because they planned to drive out the wolves and devour the tigers, and use the Magic Kingdom to eliminate other invaders?
This is no different from trying to get the skin of a tiger. Judging from the impression given to him by the king of the Magic Kingdom, the king doesn't mind razing the Immortal Tribe in order to get a few more cores of magical creations.

Either he guessed wrong, or there was an incredible [twist] in these contradictions.

Da-da-da-
Familiar footsteps were approaching, and Blaze knew it was Marika without even looking up. He was too familiar with her footsteps.

They had been having a [quarrel] recently, and he didn't expect her to come to him on her own initiative.

Blaze subconsciously hid the copied paper behind him, but unfortunately, given Marika's height, this action was meaningless and made him look a little guilty.

Lupin XIII whistled and used his stealth skills to reduce his presence, then squatted aside to read gossip.

"Let me see." Marika spread her hands towards Blaze.

"Nothing to see." Blaze turned his head away and muttered, not wanting to give Marika the copy he had made from the Sun Gem.

Marika just put her hands there, as if she wanted to stalemate with him to the end.

"acid……"

Blazer subconsciously placed the rubbing paper in Marika's hand. By the time he realized that Marika, a master of gunmanship, would not let her hand get sore from holding it up, it was too late.

"Isn't this a bit cunning?" Blazer curled the corners of his mouth. This big girl who was much taller than him used this trick of acting coquettishly, which was a surprise attack from a blind angle.

"Humph~"

Marika gave a soft snort, flicking away the thing Blazer was trying to hide from her. The writing on it made her look bewildered. Blazer's heart skipped a beat. Marika was a very decisive person; if she didn't know someone, she didn't know them, without the slightest hesitation. A look of bewilderment was a very rare expression on Marika's face.

This meant that Marika was somewhat familiar with the text, but she didn't know where she knew it from.

It turned out like this.

Blaze covered his face and turned his head away. When Odin showed up, the dwarf was already on the edge of the Sun Chariot incident and was ready to enter the scene at any time.

But the connection between the Sun Chariot and the dwarves is a bit far-fetched, like two fragments that happened to be put together by coincidence, similar to shooting an arrow first and then drawing the target.

But as time went on, the dwarves' presence in this incident became more and more obvious.

There is still no definitive evidence that the dwarves are related to the events in the Magic Kingdom, but they are getting closer and closer.

All that's missing is one key piece of evidence to connect those scattered clues together and reveal the truth.

This crucial evidence may appear during the exploration of the underground caves of Somado, or it may be in the texts that Marika feels familiar with now.

Those ancient races did not rely on language and writing to pass on their culture, but on bloodline. They were like gods who were born mature. They inherited the knowledge in their blood at birth, but needed acquired enlightenment to fully master it.

"I don't recognize these broken words, but I feel like I've seen them somewhere. They seem familiar." Marika shook her head and handed the rubbing paper back to Blaze.

Blaze moved his lips, took the rubbing paper but said nothing.

His mind was in a mess, and he instinctively wanted to keep Marika out of danger, but he immediately reacted. This was the machismo he had when he took care of Marika as a child, which he recovered after he gained power.

Marika is very strong now and can stand on her own.

He also thought that the dwarves, including Marika's mother, were probably doing something very dangerous, and the number of dwarves involved might be so large that it symbolized that the entire dwarf race was doing this.

Will Marika be criticized again because of her ancestry, or will she feel inferior because of her ancestry again?

But could this be making a decision for Marika? Marika has grown up in a place unknown to him, a place he can't see, and has her own mature ideas...

His thoughts were like threads, intertwining and turning into a shadow covering his face.

That was the blank light and shadow that he and Marika had when they were growing up without each other. The crack torn out by his cowardice and inferiority was the haze in his heart that he deliberately avoided thinking about.

"What's wrong?" Marika bent down, supported her knees with her hands and looked at Blaze with her face tilted.

"I'm hiding something from you. It's some bad things, some bad emotions." Blaze lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Yeah, me too." Marika leaned forward and her forehead touched Blaze's.

"Let's talk about it together someday."

"Ah."
