Dark Iron Incident

People who couldn't wait rushed forward.Cometis got down from his seat and knocked on the wooden prison.His movement was light, but it scared Zalyon's soul away.

"I only do this business once a day..." He said cheerfully, "If anyone can touch it, my baby is too cheap. Tell me, isn't that the case?...Baby."

Zallion looked into his cold eyes, suppressed his resentment and humiliation, and nodded with difficulty.

"—he's made of ice!"

The bearded man who had been immersed in the excitement just now shouted, "He is no ordinary baby!"

"He...is indeed made of ice." Looking at the commotion again and the crowd wanting to reach out to find out, Cometis' smile deepened.He pointed to the burning torches in the middle of the tent, and the demigod's men helped him remove one.

"This kid made me a little unhappy before. Let's count it as a small punishment. Today I will show everyone what beautiful skills he has."

"...no one is made of ice..."

"Oh, my dear lady, some people are naturally different from others, so what can you do?" Kometis bowed and handed the torch into the cage.

"Let them see it, baby."

Zallien refused to move, and received another whip on his back, bleeding down his waist.He bit his lower lip, reached out to grab the flaming torch, and pulled open his neckline.

"—Hey! I've seen this kind of performance. Those Orientals can still walk through the fire. It's just a trick!"

"I seem to have seen it too!"

"—He's going to burn it!" The bearded man laughed again, "You can't paint your penis."

The crowd laughed, and booing came from all directions.

Komitis raised his eyebrows, and looked back at the trapped beast in the cage: "What are you waiting for?"

"...Cometis...please..."

"It's so strange," the green-robed man frowned again, and said softly, "Don't you all do it in the wild? Isn't it different for you? In the hole?"

"...Ke...Brother Komitis..." Zalien grabbed the wooden prison, knelt and approached him, "...I...was wrong...I was wrong..."

Cometis frowned.He sneered, remained silent for a while, and left the carriage.

"Okay, respected guests... Since you have all seen tricks that won't be burned by fire, I won't make a fool of myself here. This is the end of today, and we will stay for two more days. I hope you can have a good time. Have fun."

Amidst the boos of the humans one after another, the thick step covered the cage where Zalien was.With his freshly iced left hand, Zalyon slowly turned off the torch, then lay back, sobbing silently.He wanted to see the fire dragon, the only light in the darkness, but he was too tortured to sleep, no matter how hard he tried.

...don't be afraid of him...

Don't be afraid of him, don't be afraid of him...I'm not afraid of him...I'm not afraid of him, brother, I'm not afraid of him...

...I'm not afraid of him...

...I'm not afraid of him...

……I……

Zalyon clasped his arms tightly.

...I also hope that I... am not afraid of him...

Clegane twirled a tiny piece of ancient ice sent by the Spike, and slipped it into his sleeve.

Everyone thought he was dead... Even he himself sometimes couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.

He could remember how the genie stopped moving, as if it was supposed to fall endlessly, fall, until it broke, and it ended, only to be stopped at a certain point by the thin rope.Obviously, if you shake it, it will continue to fall, but you can't shake it no matter what.

He knows he's reached the end when he can't lift his paw.No fear, no relief, just doing it like this... This is the end.

From now on, that child can finally walk out of his ivory tower.One day, that carefree smile would appear on that face again, and he would never have the chance to see it again.And it is impossible for him to hand over to others.No matter who will make that child laugh in the future, it's not because I gave that child to you, but because I'm no longer here, and I can't compete with you...

So you better keep him smiling forever, whether you're Merroman, or Garriface...you better keep him smiling forever...

So he closed his eyes, followed Bing's call that he thought he would never have the chance to hear again, came to the dreamland, and let himself fall asleep on the battlefield.

Even if the last thing the child said to himself was 'don't come over', it was enough.To be able to see the one he loves before he dies is the dream of many soldiers, and he got it.This is the life of his Destroyer, a sad and dirty life bound in a self-made cocoon.

But he didn't understand why Zallion would come back to sew the chrysalis he had cut with all his strength, and wake him up again.

He didn't dare to accept it, and he didn't know how to accept it.

"grown ups."

Aris stopped on the window lattice, "Master Hydera seems to want to mourn you. Do you need to tell him that you are alive?"

"No. It's better this way."

Let the betrayer also firmly believe in the news that he does not exist in the world.Since Zeus asked the angel to kill the hundred-eyed giant Argos in order to save his lover, the gods can no longer watch everything in the world, which is undoubtedly a great thing.

When he woke up that night, he learned from the fire detector that everyone thought he was dead, so he quietly left the volcano and concealed himself as if he was really dead.No matter who attacked Zalien, if he lost his threat, he would definitely show more flaws.

"Hasn't the Betrayer been on Mount Olympus? We've never heard from him."

"He is also active in the human world, but he has always obeyed Athena's orders."

"...Why would he want to imprison Lord Zallion?"

"I'm not interested in knowing." Clegane never asked why people hurt the ice child, and to him, there was no reason at all.

"It's really hard to find in the human world, isn't it? The phantoms of these animals are too messy," said Tildi, who was saved by a small hole under the black fire wall in the abyss of the Earth Mother, "and their wars have been going on for years. Constantly, the amount of trekking is very high, and the various city-states come and go, without regularity, right?"

"There are too many temples. Even if the traitor has divine light, as long as he acts alone, he will be covered. Even Thebes has become Apollo's territory, let alone Athens."

"A traitor doesn't go to the same city-state twice, does he?"

"Not necessarily." Clegane's fingers were still stroking the snowflakes: "...he is very calculating."

"He won't take Master Zalien to the mountain?"

"Although the Bronze Covenant is just some words, they are not fools. As a personal grievance left over from the past between the two, you can turn a blind eye and close one eye. It is too much to take it to Mount Olympus... Clegane narrowed his eyes. "He must have acted on his own."

"I suppose the only ones who can move around are the merchants, right? And the commander-in-chief, right?"

"Buskers, slave owners, oligarchs who always have nothing to do, even refugees... During this period, everyone is walking around." Aris shook his head, he was already dazzled just by observing the humans entering and leaving a city-state.

"I mean, he's always got to have Lord Zalyon with him..."

"I took Charlie and hid in a city for six years." Clegane said, "It's very easy to hide a person."

"Starting from the Cyclades in the south, all the towns and villages have been stationed with guards, and now Illyari and Dalmatia are being investigated."

The brown-haired man stood up and walked to the pillar piled with boulders.

……too slow……

It was useless to search like this. If Komitis turned back, he might still be able to hide the truth from the guards, and he might even find that he was hunting for him.

None of the people Zallion met at the beginning could speak a common language, so they should have walked from a small place to a big place.That being the case, why not just guard in those five major city-states...?

But until when?

The child looked so painful, and he didn't know what Komitis was using to torture him. He couldn't bear to wait a second longer, let alone days, weeks, or months.If he could, he really wanted to be mutually exclusive with the kid again, so that all he had to do was march day and night over the Continent without getting a headache.

"Ms. Kanna's there."

"She said that if they are blood relatives, there is a way to find them, but... you and Lord Zallion have already..."

Clegane pressed his temples, his chest was tight, and he could only utter the most feeble words: "...Then keep looking."

"...Yes, my lord."

The breeze shuttled between the pillars, playing a gloomy movement, which disturbed the usually calm World Destroyer, so he could only take out the snow flakes as tokens and hold them tightly.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"...Brother Komitis..."

The frail boy grabbed the man in green's arm, no longer pretending to be arrogant, and began to reveal the fear that he had been deliberately hiding to him, "Brother, I'm sorry...I said bad things to you these days. I...I It was too radical, I couldn't see the current situation clearly, I always disobeyed you... If you are unhappy, I, I won't be happy either, I understand this very well now...

"I can't help you refine ancient ice. I'm...I'm the last child of my father, I can't cooperate with God, you know...you know that, don't you? What a terrible person my father is... ...Even if he is in the sky, he can still punish me...but you have to believe that I can help you secretly."

Cometis still had a faint smile in his eyes as he continued to speak.

"You...can you give me some...sleep aids?...I can't sleep. Only when I fall asleep can my body recover faster. You see, recently...recently, the speed of recovery has slowed down... I need sleep... and... ice..."

"You want me to give you ice?"

"...No matter where I go, the house is full of flame soil. Even if I want to use ice to do something, I can't do it...I'm really tired. You torture me like this, although I can get ancient ice, I can't do it. It's beautiful, but...but you know, that's a very low-level crystal, isn't it? You can still reshape it, change it, if you're willing to use Athena's powers... This kind of ice is of no use to you Big, no matter if I want to make armor or weapons, I can’t make it! And the ancient ice that can be used can only be formed when I am in the best state... If you don’t believe it, I can swear, really... "

The smile in Cometis' eyes receded a little, and it seemed that he was really thinking.
