The knocks echoed in the underground corridor.
Soon enough, the knocks faded away as time passed.
The corridor, which was already extremely quiet, became even more silent.
It was so quiet that it was scary.
Victor did not even dare to breathe loudly as he stared at the stone door, waiting for it to open.
You, on the other hand, kept her body in check, trying her best to suppress her fear.
Scary!
Even with the stone door between them, she could feel the existence behind it. How scary was the existence behind the door? A single finger could crush her, right?
She had tried her best to overestimate the existence before she arrived.
However, when she finally arrived, she realized she still underestimated the existence.
The existence only needed a little bit of his aura to strike fear into her heart.
So this was the Dark Dominator?
Then …
How powerful was the Bird of Death that the existence was loyal to?
Or rather, why would such a terrifying existence appear in the seemingly normal Ai City?
'Is there a secret in Ai City that I don't know about?'
The messy thoughts made You even more careful.
She clenched her teeth.
The dazzling shard of [Philosopher's Stone] appeared in her hand.
She raised it high above her head.
Victor saw what You did, but he didn't stop her.
He tacitly acknowledged her actions.
Since they needed to work together, they must be honest.
Without the foundation of honesty, everything would be fabricated.
The silence continued.
Victor and Ms. You were very patient.
Both of them didn't change their actions, remaining the same.
A few minutes later, Bloody Mary thought it was about time, so it spoke.
"What do you two need?"
His voice was deep and had a slight yawn in it, as if he was not used to speaking the common language. It also sounded like a giant with a huge body opening his mouth and exhaling.
The sudden voice allowed Victor and You to heave a breath of relief.
Both of them exchanged gazes, and with You's encouragement, Victor stood up.
"Dear Dark Dominator, I am Victor, a man who lost his memories because of someone else's scheme.
I wish to regain my memories.
If you can tell me who did this to me, I will be eternally grateful. "
Victor tried his best to speak concisely and clearly.
"Regain your memories?
"It's not enough."
Bloody Mary chuckled and said slowly.
There was some disdain in his laughter.
Naturally, it did so on purpose.
Bloody Mary had some speculations about Victor's current state.
It was nothing more than having their souls severed too many times and suffering irreversible damage. In most cases, such a person or creature would simply be brain-dead, leaving only a shell behind.
And the reason why Victor didn't die …
It should be the [Philosopher's Stone].
It wasn't the broken [Philosopher's Stone] but the complete [Philosopher's Stone].
Of course, there could be other things as well.
The reason why he was still 'alive' was because he had made sufficient preparations just in case.
However, there were still accidents.
No one can escape from the mercy of accidents.
Naturally, Victor was no exception.
Not to mention, there was still its boss messing things up.
Once Bloody Mary thought about its boss and sensed that the distance between them was getting closer, Bloody Mary concentrated on playing its role.
"If you want to regain your memories, you have to at least find a complete [Philosopher's Stone]."
"A shard?
It's too far away! "
Bloody Mary's words clearly entered Victor's ears.
Victor wasn't disappointed.
Quite the opposite, his face was filled with joy.
He was worried that he would get an answer like 'I can't do anything about it'.
Although a complete [Philosopher's Stone] was hard to find, at least there was hope, wasn't there?
Huu!
Viktor took in a deep breath, the most anxious thing in his heart finally settled down. He took the shard of [Philosopher's Stone] from You's hand.
"What can I exchange it for?"
Victor asked straightforwardly.
There was no more bargaining.
No more testing.
First of all, Victor wasn't used to doing this.
Second of all, he didn't think it would end well for him to do so.
He knew very well what kind of situation he was facing at the moment, and who was the one who had the initiative.
"It will allow me to help you solve a big problem that is coming your way."
A lot of people and monsters are looking for you out there, right?
Go to Ai City's Leaf Dining then.
Go to the boss there, that lord can protect you. "
When Bloody Mary mentioned Kieran's name, it was natural for it to be respectful.
Lord?
Victor and Ms. You were stunned.
What kind of terrifying existence could make such a powerful being address him as' Lord '?
Could it be the Bird of Death?
The two of them weren't idiots, the thought quickly popped up in their heads.
While the two of them were guessing, Bloody Mary continued.
"However, the price you have to pay is still a little lacking compared to the protection you will get.
So, you need to follow that lord for 10 years.
And help him deal with the trivial matters before he truly awakens.
Are you willing? "
"Yes!"
Victor agreed without a second thought.
He was already in a desperate situation.
Using 10 years and a shard of [Philosopher's Stone] for a chance to live, Victor didn't think he was the losing party.
You muttered in her heart.
Truly awaken?
Leaf Dining?
Could it be the reincarnation of the God of Slaughter, Royan?
You's body shuddered as she finally understood why a powerful existence like the Dark Dominator would appear in Ai City.
It was because the lord that it followed was here.
Even though the lord hadn't truly awakened and was still in his mortal form, everything made sense.
But everything made sense now.
Victor respectfully placed the shard of [Philosopher's Stone] in front of the stone door and turned back to the path he came from.
You followed behind him.
She was softly telling Victor what she knew.
"Is that restaurant very famous?"
Victor asked softly.
"Mm.
Commoners might not know but the mystical realm is very famous.
The young lady of Song Shi Family is a frequent customer there. "
You answered.
"That Royan is really lucky.
I'm afraid he has no idea what kind of existence his big brother is. "
Victor sighed, and then immediately said in surprise.
"Reincarnation?
There really is such a thing?
Based on what I know, it happened a few times in history.
But … "
"I don't know who that Lord Bird of Death is."
You was thinking about the name.
She felt like she had heard of it before.
She couldn't remember it at all.
"We don't need to know who the lord is.
All we need to do is keep our promise. "
Victor said in a serious tone.
"Understood."
Lady You nodded.
Both of them left the underground and came back to the surface.
The emissary made a farewell gesture and returned to the underground tunnel. The other spirits quickly dispersed, the minotaur and horseman also vanished.
Together with them, the underground tunnel disappeared as well.
It was completely filled with dirt.
All that was left were some traces on the surface.
Viktor and You weren't surprised by this.
Since the Dark Dominator chose to protect his lord in the dark, he wouldn't want others to notice him.
If he ignored the Dark Dominator and made a big fuss, it would raise suspicions.
"Let's go.
Let's go to Leaf Dining. "
Victor said.
You quickly led the way.
Both of them quickly left the forest and went back to the main road.
However, a few minutes later, both of them were forced to stop.
That was because a scarlet figure had appeared in front of them.
"Victor!"
Scarlet looked at Victor, its soul fire flickering fiercely. It really wanted to grab Victor and torture him with all the tortures in its memory.
But it didn't do so.
Its vision was focused on the area behind Victor.
A figure appeared behind him without a sound.
