At the edge of the Saara Forest, at the end of the Poca Plain, everything was in a mess. The ground was shattered by the aftermath of the battle between the two, and a crack that extended for thousands of meters appeared. However, at the center of the explosion, Luo Ya, who heard the white-haired old man's words, could not help but widen his eyes.
Is this some kind of test? No, it doesn't make sense. The Caesar Family and the Akat Family have no personal relationship. This was something that Luo Ya, who has been managing the family for a long time, could confirm. Besides, the two families are even from different countries. Why would a powerful man who became famous hundreds of years ago be tested by him?
Luo Ya frowned and widened his eyes slightly. He felt as if he had grasped something, and as if he sensed the young man's thoughts, the white-haired old man spoke again.
“.....”
Roy Akat was indeed a figure from Layton's era, but Roy was very famous back then, so it should not be strange for him to know him. In addition, Roy had disappeared long ago, so Layton could say whatever he wanted. In fact, it was impossible to verify whether the old man was a friend or foe.
No one would not be afraid of aging, especially for an old man who was hundreds of years old. So, was this some kind of stalling tactic? m.
After thinking for a moment, the black-haired young man stared at Layton and said with a calm expression.
"Relationship? Strictly speaking, we're close friends who can't reveal our relationship to the public. "
"A few hundred years ago, the relationship between our two countries was even more tense than it is now. As the heirs of great nobles in each other's countries, we naturally can't have any relationship in public. But fortunately, we're still classmates, so we have many opportunities to meet in private."
"Close friends? But you didn't hold back when you attacked just now, did you? And this war, are you still going to use Roy to explain it? "
Looking at the young man who was still exceptionally vigilant, the white-haired old man did not get angry. In fact, he had already expected this to happen. But fortunately, Luo Ya had something he was familiar with that could prove his words.
“！”
The Black Rose Ring, a ring passed down from Estrid, was not a public item, and very few people knew of its existence. Roy hid part of his consciousness in the ring and waited for the arrival of his descendants. This kind of cheating behavior was even more impossible to tell outsiders.
The white-haired old man sighed as he recalled the bitter battle. He then explained the fighting methods of the Keeper's substitutes. After matching the old man's words with his memories, Luo Ya finally let down his guard. However, there were more questions in his mind.
The black-haired young man's curse power didn't decrease in the slightest. He opened his mouth and asked the most crucial question. Hearing Luo Ya's words, the white-haired old man's face turned slightly serious.
Looking at the wind of dusk whistling in the nearby space, the white-haired old man raised his eyebrows and said so. Luo Ya couldn't help but fall into silence. In fact, even now, Luo Ya didn't think that he had the possibility of defeating a Level 1 source-grade powerhouse. Of course, if he wanted to defeat Luo Ya, Raydon would inevitably have to pay a heavy price.
The black-haired young man pondered silently, but before he could ask the old man a question, a faint light suddenly flashed beside him. The next moment, a silver-haired girl suddenly appeared in the moonlight and hugged Luo Ya's body from behind.
"Ai Lisi?"
“.....”
Wait, why does this curse power have an inexplicable sense of familiarity?
Not good, if this continues, won't it be a burden instead of a help?
"It's okay, Ai Lisi. It's over."
In front of the silver-haired girl, Luo Ya comforted her, and on the other side, the white-haired old man also withdrew his aura. The rolling dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the smoke on the ground gradually settled as if the curtains were drawn for tonight's battle.
The sturdy old man looked at the young man and girl in front of him and shook his head. He reached into his clothes and soon took out a quaint box. Luo Ya stepped forward and carefully took it after thinking for a moment.
"Defend? In other words, someone stole it? "
“！”
With excitement and curiosity, the black-haired young man opened the box in front of Raydon, and the unexpected item appeared in front of him.
The night passed, and when the sun shone on the earth again, the camp of Acate Territory's army in the forest was noisy. The reinforcements led by Cynthia and others arrived on time, but what puzzled this travel-worn team was that the atmosphere in the camp at this time was not the tension of facing a strong enemy, but the excitement and joy of surviving a disaster.
Just the traces of the battle between the two were as terrible as a natural disaster. Rodney and the others were secretly afraid of the strength of a first level source level Rodney and the others. And for Roja to be able to block Rayton, they admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, this sparkling crystal was an item that the white-haired old man had kept close to him for many years. It was also the legendary item related to the fate of the Acate Clan, but unlike ordinary crystals, there was a beautifully shaped ring sealed in the center.
"I remember Roy did say that this is an item passed down from generation to generation of the Acate Family awakened."
When he heard Roy describe this item like this, the black-haired young man's face suddenly became serious. For thousands of years, there were only three awakened in the Acate Family besides Luo Ya. Even from the beginning of the Third Era, it had been treasured since more than seven hundred years before Vincent.
"Hmm? This is? "
In response to Luo Ya's question, Raydon shook his head, indicating that he did not know. On the other side, the black-haired young man felt a strange connection. Looking at the ring in the crystal, Luo Ya intuitively understood one thing, and that was, this thing might be a catalyst for the historical fragment.
This crystal seemed to be something like an isolator. But what kind of historical fragment would be so carefully protected and passed down?
In the face of Raydon's almost certain words, Luo Ya had doubts. Although the old man in front of him claimed to be Roy's close friend, he knew too much. Under the young man's inquiry, Raydon finally told the truth. Raydon was not only Roy's classmate but also his companion who traveled together.
"This item is one of Roy's gains back then. It seems that he found it from an ancient tree man, so I can be sure that he has never used it."
After hearing about the relationship between the two, the young man could not wait to ask about the truth of Roy's disappearance, but Raydon could not give an answer to this.
"That person has more life-saving skills than you can imagine. I don't think he will die easily."
If Luo Ya was said to be an attack-type awakened in the Acate Family, then Roy was all defense and recovery. He could be said to be the model of an immortal body. But such a guy actually disappeared not long after parting with his friend. Where did he go? Or what did he want to do?
According to Raydon, Roy had been thinking about one thing during the journey, and that was … how to woo the princess of the Austin Empire. This was one of the reasons why Raydon did not dare to say that the two were friends. But according to Raydon, Roy did this not because he fell in love with the princess of the Austin Empire at first sight, but because he wanted to obtain the blood of the Aceman family.
The white-haired old man gave such an explanation after deliberating for a long time, seemingly recalling the actions of his close friend. At this time, Raydon's face was slightly twitching, and his expression was very unnatural. Luo Ya nodded in understanding.
Recalling Roy's words, if it were not for their blood relationship, the young man would have spat before leaving. But as the saying goes, one thing leads to another. Thinking of this, Luo Ya naturally remembered the mission Roy gave him.
Thinking of this, the young man rubbed his temples and sighed. After thinking for a while, he still did not say anything about Roy's ancestral mission. He was not worried about Raydon. After all, Raydon knew the old scumbag better than Luo Ya. Luo Ya was really worried about the Ai Lisi behind him.
Since he could not find any clues about Roy, it seemed to be a good choice to start from the enemy and take the opposite route. But what he did not expect was that Raydon said a familiar word.
"… So that's how it is."
Following Luo Ya's narration, the silver-haired girl behind him tightened her grip on the young man's arm again. The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, and for the first time, his expression became serious and he spoke of his own inference.
"Oh no, I'm afraid they have their eyes on you."
