The gorgeous murals disappeared like sand, and the tall and slender figure gradually became clear.

Sean was dumbfounded, watching Ignas appear in front of his eyes.

His face was pale, only his lips were blood-colored, but he had a soul-stirring beauty.The cloak was dragged on the ground, and as his footsteps meandered over the stone bricks, Ignas leaned down slightly, touched Viri's eyes with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "What did he just look at?"

"Cross," Sean replied blankly, "He said he saw a spinning cross."

Ignace: "I see."

His palm covered Viri's eyes, and a white light glowed in his palm, like snow or winter sunlight.The pain on Viri's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became peaceful.

Sean: "He is..."

"Take care of him," Ignas didn't answer, but left a word and walked out of the altar, leaving only a slender figure behind.

Sean couldn't help shouting: "Hey! Are you leaving him alone?"

Ignas stopped in his tracks, looked back at him, and did not answer.There seemed to be hundreds of emotions in his eyes, but he didn't speak them out.

He moved on.

The time and space of the entire altar froze in an instant, and the clock did not restart until Ignas arrived.

Isabella's expression was terrified, and the wind blade beside her also froze with her.Not far from her, the spells in the hands of the magicians from the Holy See were ready to be released, showing every bit of killing intent.

While walking, Ignas picked up a few blades of grass, which happened to land on the wind blade, and were immediately cut into pieces.

He glanced at the wind blade, raised his hand to touch it, and after a flash of light, hundreds of wind blades around him turned into wind again and gently blew towards the forest.

Ignas took a step, holding the flame condensed by magic with his bare hands, and then squeezed it tightly, all the magic disappeared out of thin air, and the colorful and beautiful spots disappeared without a trace.

Everything is silent.Sean straightened his upper body, staring dumbfounded at Ignas' understatement.

"People from the Holy See? It seems that there is no cardinal level." Ignas looked at the group of people in white robes in front of him and said to himself.His voice was cold, with an inexplicable sense of oppression.

He waved his hand, and the masks of the people in the Holy See fell off, revealing the true faces hidden under the masks and hoods.

They were all very young-looking people, both male and female, most of them outstanding.No matter where you are, it is very eye-catching.Yet none of these people were blond, and none had blue eyes.

Ignace snapped his fingers.

tick-

Time began to flow again.

To everyone in the Holy See, Ignas' appearance was very sudden. In the blink of an eye, a man with silver hair and purple eyes stood between them, but they didn't respond at all.

The air nearby was very clean, and soon, to their horror, they found that they could not feel any magic element.

"Only one of you can get out of here alive." Ignas looked towards the forest, and there was a figure shaking behind the green trees. "This altar is not a place where the Holy See can run wild."

His right hand was curled into a claw shape, and he pulled towards his chest, and a person in a long robe in the forest was dragged by the air.The man clutched his neck, his expression was very painful, his whole face was swollen purple due to lack of oxygen.

"Priest?" Ignace frowned, "You can't live."

The struggling priest suddenly became silent.His limbs hung down limply, and there was no more sound.

There was a sound of gasping around, and Ignas let go, and wiped his hands casually on his cloak.

The eyes of everyone in the Holy See were tearing apart, and their originally calm faces were now full of fear.

This handsome looking man is not kidding, he will really kill them!

Isabella narrowly escaped death and scrambled to the side.Looking at this inexplicable silver-haired man in shock, she didn't dare to vent her anger. There was no wind blade near her, and there was no magic element. She was almost scared out of her wits.

Magical chains were silently tied around their wrists and ankles, making everyone in the Holy See immobile and unable to escape, and their pupils were filled with fear.

"It seems that the Holy See has forgotten my face," Ignas said gently, "Go back and tell your Pope that Ignas is waiting for him in Asgard."

As soon as the words fell, except for one person, blood fog rose from the necks of everyone else, and their breathing stopped abruptly.

The remaining man was trembling, his legs trembling.

"Go out." Ignas waved his hand, "Don't forget what I said."

The man disappeared.

Only then did Ignace turn his attention to Isabella.

He said, "People from the Wizards Guild?"

"Who the hell are you?" Isabella's hair was disheveled, her fingers were scratching the ground, trembling unconsciously.She still wanted to maintain her previous haughty posture, but the fear from her heart

Ignas looked at her condescendingly, and said lightly, "You don't need to know who I am." He smelled a familiar smell from this old female magician—a breath that belonged to hundreds of years ago.He only has an ignorant mind, and as a scepter, he follows his father, avoiding the search from the Magician's Guild.

This familiar breath came from the leader of the Magicians Guild at that time.

Ignas loathed this breath, which represented greed and desire.

He looked at the old woman calmly, as if considering what to do with him.

Sean, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, finally boldly shouted: "Ignace!"

Ignas turned around suspiciously, as if asking him what's the matter?

At this moment, Isabella rushed forward, and the sharp knife in her hand pierced his chest.She was very fast, and before Ignas turned his head, the sharp knife came up to him.

However, it encountered nothing, piercing into a cloud of air.

Isabella's face was blank, and her hands were still holding the sharp knife.

Ignas expressionless: "So you wanted to kill me."

The vanished wind blade reappeared, roaring and whirling around her, and Ignas glanced at her: "If that's the case, then I can only kill you."

After a few screams, the entire altar returned to its previous silence, only the scattered corpses on the green grass showed the fierce battle before.

Ignace stood in front of the altar and began to chant a spell.

The ancient language was spoken from his mouth, spread in all directions, and a door appeared above the forest.Stone sculptures of skeletons and poisonous dragons stood beside the door, and there was a gloomy and damp mist from the door.Both the undead and the remains turned into fine sand, and were swept into the door by the wind.

Sean watched all this, trembling involuntarily.

"What's that?" he murmured.

"That is the gate to the Nibelungen, connecting life and death." Viri's weak voice sounded in his ear.

Xiao En turned his head to look, and quickly helped him up: "You finally woke up, your lover is really not simple."

Viri quickly looked down the steps of the altar.

His eyes were full of that slender figure, and his loose silver hair fluttered in the wind.

A violent wind blew around the altar, and brought all the filth into the Nibelungs.The sky over the altar has returned to its previous blue color, dotted with fluffy white clouds, the forest is lush green, and the chirping of birds can be faintly heard.

The door of the Nibelungen slowly closed.

Ignas turned his head and found Willy awake. He immediately put on a smiling face, strode over, hugged Willy's shoulders, lowered his head and said, "Is there any discomfort?"

Willie shook his head, then grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "Why are you out again?"

"You're in danger," Ignace said.

Willie was stunned, "Why are you so stupid?"

"You are the most important." Ignas smiled softly at him, and then said, "I will send you to the temple, once the gate to Asgard is opened, it can never be closed again, all Anyone can see that door, so you must be careful."

The moment Ignas hugged Viri, Sean consciously backed away and walked outside the altar to look at the scenery.

Willie glanced at Sean quickly: "You mean, I'm the only one going in?"

"Yeah." Ignas nodded, "Only you."

"What about Sean?"

"He wants to go back to the capital and inform the others about the opening of the lost city. I have left a mouth for those people in the Holy See, and let him go out and bring the news to the Holy See." Ignas said softly, "The Pope will come in person Of Asgard."

Willie: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because that's where my father rests." Ignas said, "you have to go find him, find him, and you will know all the truth."

"What truth?" Willie sat up straight.

"Hush——" Ignas pressed his fingers on his lips, "I can't tell you now, but when you arrive in Asgard, you'll know that it's a truly lost city."

After Xiao En learned that he needed to return to the capital, he was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said: "I see, I need to notify the Empire, what about the Magicians Guild and the Mercenary Guild?"

"Tell Alfred Beaver."

Xiao En's figure disappeared into the altar, and he had been sent back to the capital by Ignace's magic.

Viri did not hear the conversation between them, but sat under the mural, waiting for their conversation to end.Even though he knew that Xiao En would act separately from him, seeing his friend leave, he was still a little sad, and even had an inexplicable hunch that maybe they would not see each other again for a long time.

Ignas noticed his depressed mood, "What? Are you unhappy?"

"A little bit," Viri cheered up, lifted his piano case, and tried to smile, "Let's go."

Ignace looked at him inquiringly, and said slowly: "Veri, if you are unhappy, don't hide it in your heart. I lost 30 years of time with you, and I don't want to lose it again."

Viri suddenly lost the ability to speak.

He opened his arms and hugged Ignas tightly, burying his face in his neck.Ignas patted him on the back lightly, "Don't worry, as I said, I will always be by your side."

Viri held back the heat in his eyes, nodded, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Ignas wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed his ear, "Hold me tight, don't be surprised no matter what you see."

After finishing speaking, he tapped his toes and jumped up with Viri, flying into the air.

The sky is as clear as a mirror with white clouds.Viri closed his eyes subconsciously, the wind whistling in his ears.Ignace led him all the way, and then he heard Ignace say, "Veri, open your eyes."

Willie opened his eyes obediently.

He raised his head, looked into the distance, and then couldn't speak any more words.

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, a city was held up by the clouds. It had a high wall and spread out on the edge of the sky.Viri was shocked. He seemed to see the reflection of the city in the clouds and sky, and the continuous buildings in the city.The astonishing majestic momentum hit his head and face, almost making him unable to breathe.

Viri speaks incoherently: "This is..."

"Asgard," said Ignace, "before Ragnarok, it was called the Skylands."
