Elden Clergyman

But they had all agreed, and everyone had gone there, so Lord had no intention of going back on his word or eavesdropping.

At worst, he could just wait until one of them died and then pull out the ashes. This wasn't the first time he had done this.

After seeing Melina off, Millicent went to the waterfall to observe the flowing water, trying to improve her swordsmanship.

Only Lord and Reina were left on the field.

Then......

"You're looking for that special teardrop because of the Platinum Child, right?"

Lord suddenly spoke.

Reina, who was struggling with how to start the conversation, nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and jumped back.

"Wait a minute, how did you know that? Did Lani tell you?"

Then, without waiting for Lord to speak, Reina's face flushed red and she started spouting words like a machine gun.

"It's not a deliberate bad ending, it's just that people died..."

"They're using it before it's even finished..."

"I am me, and the Snow Witch is the Snow Witch, so this can't be considered my fault..."

"And which genius came up with the idea of giving weapons self-awareness? I'm truly impressed..."

To be honest, Lord didn't understand what Lena was saying.

Moreover, it was not Lani who told him about the relationship between Reina and the Platinum Son.

"Then how did you know?" Lena looked at him puzzledly.

Lord said frankly: "I guess."

Reina: “…”

But it can’t be considered a completely random guess.

Because he had a first-generation Platinum Son under his command, and was quite interested in the appearance of the second-generation Platinum Son, Lord observed them briefly.

Then they discovered that this group of Sons of Platinum were similar to the tears encountered in the Eternal City in many aspects, and should be the product of the same lineage of technology.

In addition to the inherited technology, the Son of Platinum also has another skill, which is to spit out freezing mist.

And this is their own ability, not something that can be exerted through weapons.

He has a deep understanding of Knox technology and possesses ice and snow magic...

At least in Lord's memory, there was only one person who met this standard, and that was Lani's former teacher, the Snow Witch Lena.

Of course, the current Lena is not the snow witch of the past. If you have to say, although she inherited some of her memories, she is more like the snow witch's child.

And from her previous remarks, it was clear that she was very afraid of the Supreme Will.

Even every time that name was mentioned, her body would stiffen.

In Jiu's situation, asking her to find the artificial king technology that is suspected of inviting destruction by the Supreme Will is somewhat inconsistent with her character setting.

If you don't want to create an artificial king, then you may need some of these technologies to supplement something.

Combined with the identity of the suspected creator of the Son of Platinum, Lord made a rough guess.

"You..."

4After listening to Lord's reasoning process, Lena didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, she sighed.

3. “Never mind. I’ll just say it straight away.”

"If I'm not mistaken, that teardrop on your body should be the body of the Eternal King."

Although Wu Lord felt that his tears were no different from others, their extension and growth potential were obviously not something that ordinary tears could have.

Not to mention that she had absorbed so much power from the Holy Grail, even the Greater Holy Grail. If this happened to an ordinary teardrop, it would have exploded and died.

But Ashmi not only ate it all, but even seemed to digest it well...

This made Lena very conflicted.

Although she had been looking for the Eternal King's body, she felt a little worried when it was really placed in front of her.

Although according to the information she learned, the destruction of the Eternal City should not be caused by the artificial king plan, but what if...

"I don't think you need to worry so much."

Lord looked at her and said seriously.

"I think the Supreme Will has a good temper."

Reina: “…?”

After hearing Lord's words, Lena was silent for a moment and looked at the ruins of the Knox civilization around her.

"...Are you serious?"

"seriously."

Lord nodded and said seriously.

"Although I've never dealt with the Supreme Will, I usually chat with Two Fingers quite a bit at the Round Table."

"According to what you said, the two fingers are the messengers of the Supreme Will, so to some extent, they should represent the Supreme Will."

"But from what I've learned about Two Fingers, although he can be a bit rigid and strict when it comes to his own laws, that's all for the sake of carrying out his orders."

"Other than that, it's surprisingly easy to talk to, has a good temper, and is reasonable. It's just that it sometimes misunderstands what I mean..."

"So I think that if all the messengers are like this, then at least the Supreme Will won't be particularly petty, and may even have a good temper."

"Otherwise, I've seen several Two-Fingered corpses on the Divine Tower. If they were so petty, the border would have become a meteorite crater by now."

"As for what's happening with Knox... I feel like they've done something really big, something truly astonishingly intelligent."

"Otherwise, I really can't imagine how the Supreme Will, which didn't even react when its messenger was killed by a sword, could destroy this place."

Reina was silent.

Faced with Lord's remarks, the corners of her mouth twitched, and for a moment she didn't know where to start to refute.

Seeing her like this, Lord thought for a while and raised his eyebrows.

"Then wait for me for a while."

Lena raised her head in confusion, not knowing what Lord was going to do next.

Lord had no intention of explaining. He simply opened the map and disappeared in front of Lena.

After a moment, his figure appeared again.

There was something extra in my hand.

Or rather, something was moved in.

A yellow, rough one, standing upright, still struggling.

Two fingers.

"Huh—bro, you're really a bit hard to move."

Putting down his two fingers, Lord patted the back of its fingers and spoke earnestly.

"I told you a long time ago that it's not good to stay stuck in that little room all day. You have to find time to go out for a walk."

"I never found the right time before, but look at it now, there's water and the scenery is beautiful."

"And you look so dirty. I don't know how long it has been since you took a bath. Wait a minute, I'll find a brush for you..."

After talking with Two Fingers—not sure if it understood or not—Lord turned to look at Reina next to him.

"Look, this is the two-finger buddy I was talking about."

"If you're wondering why the Eternal City was destroyed, why not just ask it directly?"

Lord said it as a matter of course.

Reina on the opposite side had a blank expression.

Especially after seeing the two fingers struggling for a while, and realizing that the struggle was useless, they just stayed there and let Lord brush their body with a brush.

Reina's vision went dark.

No, man.

What the hell are you doing!

------

Chapter 89: Fingers also refer!

Lord had actually wanted to pull out his two fingers and brush them for a long time.

Maybe it was because it had been staying in that small room for a long time, and no one was allowed to enter unless they met certain qualifications. As a result, no one took care of it at all. Not only was there a lot of dust on its body, but it also grew a lot of hair.

Now that he had finally moved it to this pond, Lord went straight to the Ancestral Forest to borrow a brush. After brushing it from top to bottom, he took out an ordinary knife that had dropped when he killed the soldiers before and shaved its hair.

After cleaning everything, the two fingers, which looked refreshed, raised their fingers, shook their bodies like a pet that had just taken a bath, and then relaxed a few times.

There is no need for any conversation, just looking at its relaxing movements, you can feel its happiness and comfort.

You can definitely tell that this thing hasn't been cleaned for quite a while.

Although the purpose of cleaning the two fingers was achieved, Lord did not succeed in getting Lena and the two fingers to communicate.

On the one hand, it was because Reina was stuck there and hadn't come to her senses yet.

On the other hand, because there is no explanation for this place, even if the two fingers are willing to talk, Reina cannot understand what it means.

Lord had thought about pulling the old lady over, but she looked difficult to move, and Lord would not pull the old lady over to make trouble for his own momentary pleasure.

But since they had already moved in, looking at the two fingers dangling over there, Lord thought for a while and frowned slightly.

Or... try being the finger-buttoning person yourself?

Because every time I go back to the round table during this period, I basically chat with Shuangzhi.

Although he had to rely on the old woman's translation, after a long time, he can now understand the meaning of the fingers to some extent.

And now is a good opportunity to try, and if it works, maybe...

can't read.

After a few minutes, Lord gave up the idea.

It turned out that he could understand the meaning of pointing fingers a little, but that was just a little.

For example, just now he moved his fingers around for a long time, but he could only read out one sentence.

'I still have to go to work.'

He translated it into this sentence.

"Okay then, I'll put it back for you first."

But just as Lord was speaking and preparing to pick it up and send it back, he just walked in front of the fingers and looked at the two fingers in front of him, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Wait a minute, two fingers, it seems to be a finger...

He curled his fingers together and smelled something bad.

The next second, that bad premonition came true.

In front of it, Lord took out a gray ring and looked at it expectantly.

"Well, finger, I've never asked you for anything before..."

"But you see, I have a prop for signing a covenant, and I'm helping you with that too. This..."

puff-

That was the sound of fingers jumping into the pool.

Then, in front of Reina, the two yellow fingers started to move around, scratching around like a bug.
