"Is this a reason..."

The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, lowered her head, and spoke in a soft voice.

"They haven't fulfilled their wishes yet, haven't passed away yet. I hope they can live their lives well..."

Ottila's words made everyone look towards the surrounding Purgatory Spirits. Farina asked, "Have you been helping them to release their obsessions?"

To destroy undead monsters, removing their obsessions is the most effective method, rather than directly fighting undead creatures that can still move no matter how damaged their bodies are, or ghosts that have uncertain forms but can launch tricky attacks.

Although the spirits of purgatory were formed under special circumstances with the participation of star soul power, the girl's words also proved that they also stayed in the world because of obsession.

“Yes, yes.” Otella responded softly.

"How long have you been doing this?" Dorothy couldn't help asking.

"No, I don't remember. I don't even know when I woke up. The calendar doesn't match. It might have been years. I can't remember a lot of things."

Can't remember?

The girls didn't quite understand, so Farina whispered to them that when the living become undead, they will inevitably forget many things as their bodies collapse. It is rare for someone like Otella to retain her personality.

"If that's the case, then it's already been sixty years..." Meimei whispered.

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing." Alulu said seriously with her eyes wide open.

Otela was a little surprised by what the Holy Warrior Girl said. Before she could respond, the spirits of Purgatory gathered around her.

They reached out and gently touched her body, and the girl in the lead, named Mesa, even reached out and hugged the blue-haired girl.

It can be seen that they are as close as family and cannot be distinguished from each other.

"Sixty years, how old are you then?"

Zoe counted on her fingers, her face full of surprise.

Another somewhat shocking fact is that if Otella was originally from sixty years ago, her real age would be over seventy years old.

It was unknown how many years had passed since she emerged from the lava, but it was clear that she was no longer from the same era as Mort, even though she retained the mind of a young girl due to her semi-undead state.

Leon and Farina looked at each other and suddenly understood why Mott couldn't persuade her to leave.

Of course, that guy wanders between various forces as a mercenary, and he also has some thoughts that cannot be seen on the surface.

Since he has been to Lupus Island, he must have discovered the connection between the star soul here and the girl.

He couldn't persuade her to leave, not only because Otila was at least two generations older than Big Mott, so he might be restricted in his actions, but also because he couldn't deal with Xinghun.

Letting Leon come over was not just because he was "good at deceiving girls", but also because he discovered that Zoe's star soul power in the Flowing Silver Arena was similar to what Lupus had seen.

"Good boy, he's quite cunning." Li Ang sighed.

"It's not that he's causing us any trouble. It's all related to Xinghun's matter. We can just try to get some benefits out of him next time we see him." Farina said to Li Ang with a smile.

The girls lamented Otela's age, which made the animal-eared girl feel even more embarrassed.

Livy tilted her head beside her: "Do you know how old I am if you calculate it this way?"

Anna blinked and said nothing.

"Yeah," Zoe smiled at Otella. "We're pretty much the same, so we can still be friends."

"What you did was indeed admirable. These Fire Spirit girls must have thought so too. However, solving the Star Soul problem doesn't necessarily have a negative impact on you."

Li Ang put on a gentle expression. "We've dealt with the Star Soul many times before. Although the situation this time is a little different, that's why we need your help. There's a lot we don't understand, especially why it went berserk. You've been facing it for so many years, so you should know more than us, right?"

Otella chose to confront the Molten Star Soul, apparently because its riot would harm the Purgatory Spirits, and she wanted to protect them.

Otella shrank back awkwardly, but a few thrusts pushed her forward.

"Huh? Huh?"

The timid girl was so frightened that she looked back and found that it was Mesa and the other two fire spirit girls who had helped lead the way before who pushed her out.

"Mesa, Yuli, Sina, you, you guys?"

Mesa puffed up her cheeks vividly, as if in anger, and pointed at Otela. The other two girls, Yuli and Sina, also stared at Otela.

"Let me cooperate with them... Are you okay with that? Considering myself? I don't understand..."

Otella hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Alulu took a step forward. Although she was small in stature, she also had a certain mysterious affinity brought by the power of the Holy Warrior Soil, making her less intimidating than the others.

"I think they are worried about you, Utila." Xiao Niu said softly.

The blue-haired girl lowered her head, the shadow of her bangs covering her eyes.

"Since you guys are all like this, Mesa, then if it won't hurt my friends, I can cooperate..."

"Great," Zoe clapped her hands, "Don't worry, we can definitely beat that big bull flat, ouch!"

Li Ang pressed the chestnut-haired girl's head and said to Otela, "Let's talk about how much you know about her first, okay?"

Leon was a little surprised that the Spirit of Purgatory took the initiative to show goodwill to the Star Flower Brigade, a group of outsiders, but he was glad that things could move forward.

Otella nodded cautiously, and everyone dispersed. The deck of the Everlasting Summer transformed into an open garden for rest.

The spirits of Purgatory were all very curious about the ingenious mechanical design on the deck, especially Mesa, the most lively one. This time, she was careful not to touch the wood, and she dodged here and there, and soon she started playing with Zoe.

Leon glanced at the chestnut-haired girl with a smile on her face and talking nonstop. He really wanted to ask her how she communicated with the speechless spirit of Purgatory, but right now, the real business of the combat meeting was about to begin.

"Hey, where's Otella?"

As soon as he sat down, Li Ang didn't see the girl with blue hair and animal ears.

"I don't know. Wasn't it there just now?" Farina also looked surprised.

Beside them, Meimei and two little dragons helped in the search.

“Here, here…”

A soft voice came from beside Alulu, and everyone realized that because she was curled up, she cleverly formed a visual blind spot and no one saw her.

"Oh, as expected, I am just an insignificant pebble on the roadside..."

Otella looked as if she was about to cry.

Is this... a weak presence? Leon once had a friend who was often forgotten in the crowd, but it was rare for her presence to be this weak. Perhaps her undead state also contributed to this trait.

"How could that be?" Alulu gently held Otela's hand and moved aside, letting her sit a little forward.

"Okay, let's start the conversation."

Leon waved to Zoe, then turned to Otella and said seriously, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Leon, and this is my Air Cavalry Regiment..."

People sixty years ago had already benefited from the order established by the Sky Cavalry Guild, so it was easy to describe the Sky Cavalry. Introducing himself first was a gesture of goodwill. After talking about himself and the team, Leon focused on introducing Zoe.

"This is my first member, Zoe. Her parents come from extraordinary backgrounds, and as a result, she has a special physique that allows her to connect with a giant beast called the Star Soul that hides in the darkness of our world..."

Leon explained to Otela as concisely as possible about the Star Soul Greenhouse, the Star Soul, and Zoe's upcoming journey to connect with the Star Soul.

"You, the Star Soul you've been talking about turns out to be the island goddess Hetia..."

"You never understood?"

"Eh! S-sorry! It's you guys who kept talking, and I-I didn't dare to ask..."

Looking at the girl who looked like a little animal, Li Ang didn't know what to say. For a timid child, their actions were indeed a bit scary.

Although he was forced to do so, Leon decided to show enough tolerance and kindness to Otela.

"Due to their inherent characteristics, star spirits need to find a suitable natural environment to inhabit and preserve their strength. Therefore, the Molten Mountain Star Spirit chose this place. Perhaps it's also because she occasionally appeared to help the islanders over a long period of time, thus earning her the title of island deity."

"Yes, Lady Hetia, she is really nice."

Seeing that Ottila had started talking, Leon took the opportunity to let her continue.

"How did you know her?"

"I, because I'm a child who is not valued..."

Otella's eyes were red first, and she spoke quietly, starting with herself.

Otella Duleg was born in June of the 224th year of the Guild Calendar. She was born weak and if it weren't for the warm climate of Lupus and her birth in summer, she might not have survived.

Since she was a child, she has been unable to do heavy work and is as timid as a mouse, so she said that her parents don't like her either.

And when her parents gave birth to younger brothers and sisters, they paid even less attention to her.

Moreover, she is not very talkative, so she is often forgotten by her family. When they go out together, they sometimes forget Ottila at home, or when they are outside, they forget her alone and go home.

"This is too—uh-huh!"

Leon covered Zoe's mouth, who was filled with righteous indignation, and waited quietly for Otella to continue.

Magic is a very special thing. It can indeed give some people special physiques. On Otila's panel, [Existence Weakening] has even become a skill. Her parents may not have done it on purpose.

One day, Utila, who felt she was useless, wandered into Hetia's temple.

The building was not far from her home, but there were too many people there and she never dared to go there. The day she came to the temple coincided with the "Festival of Fire", a grand ceremony of Lupus. On this day, people would hold a grand parade and offer sacrifices to the goddess.

The procession was going to circle the island and finally return to the temple, so the temple became a deserted place for a while.

The family excitedly participated in the parade, but Otella didn't dare to interact with so many outsiders, so she stayed at home.

But for some reason, she didn't want to stay at home that day. She also wanted to go out and take a look, so she stopped in front of the temple door.

As she was lost in thought, she saw the goddess.

"Is Hetia out playing?" Zoe said immediately. "Sister Eden also told me that she will be playing on Frostsky Island as the head priest."

In this atmosphere, Li Ang didn't want to correct Zoe's wording and let her go for the time being.

"Perhaps, Lady Hetia... I was startled at the time because I was home alone and her statue was the easiest thing to see. I recognized her immediately."

When Utila mentioned Hetia, a faint smile appeared on her face. "She was really nice and kind. She gently took me into the temple, fed me delicious food, and showed me around the entire temple."

When the procession returned, Hetia said goodbye temporarily because she had to go and respond to people's expectations.

The Star Soul incarnation did not appear before other mortals, but instead showed "miracles" in the form of flaming wreaths, blazing meteors, and cast weapons to reward believers.

On this day, the warmth of the goddess of forge and hearth shone not only on the island of Lupus, but also on the timid girl who looked like a mouse.

After that, Otila often saw Hetia. Although she didn't know why the goddess liked her, with the help of the goddess, she plucked up the courage to leave the house and go to the temple to participate in some sacrificial activities.

At this point, the spirits of Purgatory gathered around, and Otila's words made everyone understand why the fire spirits gathered around.

In reality, Hetia possesses the power to protect families and women. On Earth, the formation of priesthood is influenced by complex cultural and historical factors, but on Newbis, perhaps the key lies in the deeds of the gods themselves.

Hetia is obviously a very friendly star soul, as can be seen from Eden's description.

It is called a sacrifice, but in fact it is to gather many women with unfortunate fates together and let them help each other, or the priests can help their children.

And Otella unexpectedly received "favor".

Hetia chose her in response to the priests' prayers and gave her the right to hold the cassia branches for sacrifice to the gods.

"Is that the stick?" Zoe looked at the branch that Otella had been holding tightly.

"Yes, it means that Lady Hetia chose me and hopes that I can help everyone on her behalf. I don't know why she would be attracted to someone like me, but I am so happy."

Even now that Lupus was destroyed and the island was in ruins, Utella still smiled sincerely when she recalled the past, and her beautiful face suddenly became bright.

"Those days were like a dream, until one day, a strange man came outside the temple."

396 The One the Fire Spirit Loves

The strange man was covered in a cloak, but his tone was frivolous and he looked down on the goddess of the forge and hearth that Lupus believed in. The contempt in his words immediately attracted the attention of priests and worshippers.
