The Gate of Quartz.
This used to be the location of the old city hall and the artificial island management company, but it had now been completely emptied. The whole building looked like a huge gem palace, a gorgeous castle wrapped in transparent glass walls.
Now, this beautiful palace had been abandoned, but it still retained its former splendor.
Ailey followed Zaharias into the castle and soon saw six ice coffins under the glass ceiling. They were exactly the same as the Ice Coffin No. 12 that Ailey had seen in the ruins before. There were also girls with the same appearance sleeping in them, but Ailey could feel strong magical power from them.
And in the center of these coffins, there was a gray-haired girl wrapped in a crystal gem.
"Welcome to my 'Feast of Flame', Miss Ailey."
Zaharias stopped in his tracks, turned around abruptly, and bowed elegantly to Ailey. When he raised his head again, the face of a middle-aged man had turned into the face of a teenager with gray hair.
That's a pretty good face-changing trick.
Ailey just looked at him quietly with a smile. Her expression didn't change at all. Zaharias took a step back and looked at her with a grin.
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Baltasaru Zaharias, the Blood Follower of the Fourth True Ancestor."
"When will it start?"
After listening to Zaharias's self-introduction, Ailey just glanced at the ice coffins and asked. Zaharias's expression slightly froze when he heard Ailey's question.
He originally thought that she would ask him why he wanted to resurrect the Fourth True Ancestor and what he wanted to do, so that he could say everything he wanted to say. But Zaharias didn't expect that the little girl wouldn't give him any face at all. She didn't ask anything and came here as if she was just going through the motions. She didn't care why he wanted to resurrect the Fourth True Ancestor.
The situation doesn't seem right ….
As the Merchant of Death, Zaharias instinctively felt a trace of danger. But he still calmed down the uneasiness in his heart and spoke again.
"Don't worry, Miss Ailey. I have no intention of harming you. Please don't be afraid. I just hope that you can recreate the miracles you performed in the past."
Zaharias paused for a moment and looked at Ailee again. He was waiting for her to ask 'what miracle' so that he could tell her his story. But Ailee only took out her phone from her cloak to check the time, and then looked at Zaharias again.
"Can we start now? I'm in a hurry. "
"…"
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Zaharias felt more and more uneasy as he looked at the calm and even a little bored Ally. This was definitely not the reaction he had expected. However, at this moment, Zaharias no longer hesitated and raised his hands high.
"Well then, let's begin the Feast of Flaming Light! Please wake up, fourth true ancestor! Your servant is here to offer you a sacrifice and pray for your awakening!! "
"Woo …"
At the same time, the body of the girl lying in the ice coffin began to emit a cold blood-red glow. Similarly, Ailee's body began to emit the same colour. Seeing this, Zaharias finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ailee's previous behavior was so strange that he even suspected whether the girl was really possessed by the soul of the fourth true ancestor as the rumors said. Frankly speaking, Zaharias even suspected whether the girl was just a trap, but now it seemed that … the soul of the fourth true ancestor was indeed in her body.
"Woo …. Ah …."
Ailee's eyes were tightly shut at this moment. She held her head and trembled slightly as if she was in great pain. Bright red magic condensed on her body like a torrent. The next moment, a pair of pitch-black wings condensed by magic suddenly spread out from Ailee's back. Several tentacles shot out from the wings and pierced into the chests of the six girls in the ice coffins. The blood vessels on the tentacles began to pulse rapidly as if they were absorbing something.
Then, the six girls sealed in the ice coffins were shrouded in light and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Ailee was not feeling well either.
Although the soul of the fourth true ancestor had been destroyed, her memory, knowledge, and power still existed. It was just that she had been sleeping in Ailee's body like a compressed package. But now, with the input of the "decompression password", the compressed package was instantly liberated and burst out with information that was dozens of times its capacity.
If Fangzheng or the red ponytail were here, the information burst out of the fourth true ancestor would just be like a spring breeze brushing past their faces and would be meaningless. But for Ailee, it was still a little too difficult.
At the same time, what poured into Ailee's body were the souls of the six girls — no, strictly speaking, they were the twelve familiars of the fourth true ancestor that were sealed in the bodies of the six female dolls. Vampires raised their familiars in their own blood, and now, they had broken free from their false shells and returned to their original owners' bodies.
To put it simply, this was like a computer with the highest quality "Far Cry", "Doom", "GTA", "Assassin's Creed", "Subway", and "The Elder Scrolls" with 4K HD graphics added on at the same time …
The computer was probably going to explode!
What Ailee had to do now was to use the mouse to turn off these games that were automatically installed and running on the computer that was on the verge of collapse. Otherwise, her CPU, graphics card, memory, and so on would all be completely destroyed, and the motherboard would definitely be scrapped!
"Puff!!"
Blood spurted out of Ailee's mouth. Behind her, the wings that seemed to be made of flesh and blood gradually glowed with a dazzling colour. Seeing this, Zaharias clenched his hands in excitement and stared at the girl in front of him.
But after a while, suddenly, everything gradually changed.
The wings that were originally shining with a colorful brilliance gradually lost their light, then turned into a dark whirlwind that gradually wrapped around the girl's body, and then quietly dissipated.
Then, Ailee slowly opened her eyes. She blinked and moved her hands and feet.
"I didn't expect the power of the fourth true ancestor to be so hard to control, but fortunately …"
While saying that, Ailee nodded at Zaharias.
"Thank you for your help. I'm leaving now."
"Wait, wait a minute!!!"
Zaharias was dumbfounded when he saw the girl in front of him turning around to leave. He could not understand what was going on at all. Did the ritual fail? That was impossible! The six Nightlords of the Flaming Light had clearly resonated with her, and the powerful power just now had indeed come from the fourth true ancestor! As the follower of the fourth true ancestor, he naturally could not have missed this!!
But why did this girl not seem to have changed at all? And … why did she leave?
"You won't listen to my wish? You won't accept the request of a follower of blood like me? As the Chosen, I've offered sacrifices to you!! "
"Thank you for your kindness."
Ailee turned around, the smile on her face not changing in the slightest.
"But I didn't use your 'sacrifices'. I returned them untouched … The magic power came from the people in your territory, right? I'm sorry. Maybe the fourth true ancestor needed it, but it's too superfluous for me, so I don't need it anymore."
From the memories of the fourth true ancestor, Ailee clearly understood why the fourth true ancestor needed the "Banquet of Flaming Light" to awaken. As mentioned before, this world was set up with the theory of "inherent time accumulation". In other words, the longer a person existed and the more events they experienced, the stronger their magic power would be.
Unlike the other three true ancestors, the fourth true ancestor was created, so her "inherent time accumulation" was far less than that of the other true ancestors. Therefore, to completely awaken her, a lot of "inherent time" was needed. The essence of the "Banquet of Flaming Light" was to find hundreds of thousands of people and have them offer their memories to the fourth true ancestor. Well, it was equivalent to each person giving a dollar to the fourth true ancestor. As long as all 1.2 billion people gave a dollar to the fourth true ancestor, the fourth true ancestor would become a billionaire.
To put it bluntly, it was like the energy bombs of the vampires.
Of course, this did not come without a price. Those who offered their memories would lose that part of their memories. Ailee, of course, did not need that. Because of the setting of this world, the magic power in her body was so abundant that it could not be used up. She had not found the "decompression password" before, but now that she had it, Ailee could use the power of the fourth true ancestor with her own magic power. She did not need other people's memories at all. Therefore, she returned all the inherent time.
"… … …"
Hearing this, Zaharias's expression gradually froze.
"What do you mean by 'originally'?"
"That's exactly what I mean."
Ailee looked at him with a grin.
"I killed the fourth true ancestor two years ago. Her soul has been completely erased by me. Only her power remains in my body. I've been thinking about how to release this power … But I didn't expect you to come to my door and hold an awakening ceremony for me. Well, thanks to you, I've successfully retrieved six of my familiars. Ah, seven if you include the ones I already have in my body? Anyway, thank you very much. "
"You … … You … …"
Looking at Ailee, who had her hands clasped together and was thanking him with a grin, Zaharias's face turned livid. He raised his trembling hand and pointed at Ailee. His face turned red, then pale. But soon, he forced himself to calm down, looked at Ailee, and begged in a low voice.
"Even so, I still beg for your help, great fourth true ancestor. I'm your Chosen, and I've held a 'Flaming Feast' for you. I only have one wish! "
While shouting, Zaharias pointed at the corpse of the grey-haired girl in the ice coffin.
"That's my sister! She used to be the First Guardian, but in the end, she died to protect your familiars. I, who wanted to protect her, was also killed. But my sister resurrected me in the end and made me the First Blood Servant! So, I hope that you can be merciful and let my sister be resurrected! "
"Haa … ….."
In the face of Zaharias's painful begging and screams, Ailee sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Zaharias, well, it's hard to say, but the memories of the familiars are shared with me. Do you understand what I mean?"
"… … …"
"Your sister did indeed die to protect Number One, but she died in your hands. You killed your sister to get Number One's rib, and then you snatched Number One's rib to become the Blood Follower of the Fourth True Ancestor …"
Ailee looked at him and shook her head as she spoke.
"Wanting to resurrect my sister is just an excuse, isn't it? By the way, I'm a witch after all. Do you think I didn't notice the tactical trap you hid in my sister's corpse? I really don't understand, Mr. Zaharias. What gives you the courage to think that you can deceive the Fourth True Ancestor with such a small trick? "
"No … … .I … …"
"By the way, you originally thought that the Fourth True Ancestor's soul was in my body, so you wanted to capture the Fourth True Ancestor's soul and control it, right? But I'm really sorry, but the Fourth True Ancestor's soul has completely disappeared … … so it looks like your wishful thinking won't work."
As she spoke, Ailee snapped her fingers. The next moment, the blazing fire suddenly turned into a huge snake that suddenly appeared. It opened its mouth and swallowed the crystal, turning it into ashes together with the sleeping girl's corpse.
"I hope you won't find such a retard as your brother in your next life."
Ailee muttered in a low voice as she watched the girl's corpse turn into ashes and disappear. She then looked at Zaharias who was not far away. But this time, the grey-haired teenager had a look of horror on his face as he staggered backwards. His eyes were also full of fear when he looked at Ailee, as if he was looking at a great demon king …..
Huh? Shouldn't I be the BOSS who is trying to awaken the Fourth True Ancestor and manipulate him?
Why do I feel like I've become the BOSS now?
"Oh, by the way, I'm going to take something back from you. The First Ancestor is also very angry. It's time to settle the humiliation of having your ribs forcibly taken away."
As she spoke, Ailee took out her magic wand.
"Ribs come flying."
"Ugh … … Ah … … …"
Following Ailee's chant, Zaharias suddenly stopped. He grabbed his chest in pain and scratched it hard. But soon, his chest burst open, and two broken ribs flew out. At the same time, Zaharias, who had lost his ribs, turned into a cloud of dust and shattered like broken wood chips.
The two ribs were also swallowed by the flames on the way and completely disappeared.
Ailee raised her hands and stretched her waist. She looked around — — The men in black who had been following behind her had completely slipped away. Not even their shadows could be seen.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Thinking of this, Ailee shrugged and sighed. She took another look at the broken hall in front of her and turned around.
It's time to go home. Misha is still waiting for me to make dinner.
