Chapter 49 : Chapter 49 Devastating News from the Fire Chasing Circle
Well, in that case...
Since the other party hasn't shown any malice, why not treat it simply as a record?
She could completely turn the tables and use this game to observe Dan Heng and Stelle's situation inside!
Originally, the two sides were disconnected, but now at least a one-way connection had been established.
If an emergency occurred, Himeko could more effectively prepare a backup plan.
That was what she thought.
So when following the subsequent plot, Himeko had begun to watch it as if it were entirely real.
Meanwhile...
After bringing Anaxa back to Okhema, he regained consciousness.
But before going to see Aglaea and returning the Flame Seed, accompanied by Castorice and Stelle, Anaxa took it upon himself to visit many of the families of the deceased.
It couldn't be helped; Anaxa didn't seem to get along well with Aglaea. If he told her, he wouldn't even have the chance to see the families.
In the story...
The first deceased was named Kallinkus, a scholar.
However, when his wife received the bad news, her first concern wasn't him, but whether the Tree Court he had fought for had held its ground.
Although it hadn't, fortunately, the Flame Seed remained, so Anaxa chose to tell a noble lie.
He did it.
Just as the saying goes: "In this mundane era, every goodbye could be the last."
The second and third deceased were named Kunane and Atacama.
Their father was elderly and even confused their student days with the present.
But they had fought until the very last moment to protect the Tree Court and resist the black tide, just as their father finally said:
"Even if they aren't the Chrysos Heirs of prophecy, aren't they still heroes?"
And the fourth deceased didn't even have a name.
Although his only son grumbled, saying he didn't care if his father fell into the River Styx and that he brought it on himself by not listening to advice...
In reality, he had already prepared a house for his father's retirement. But now, he didn't even have the chance to see him one last time.
After these dialogues, Himeko fell into a silent contemplation.
"Hmm..."
Knowing that all of this was real, she grew increasingly worried about this world and the situation of Stelle and Dan Heng.
This was a world truly plunged into the apocalypse, unlike Jarilo-VI or Penacony before.
At the same time, many players were also moved.
[Waaaah, the Author wrote this part so well. Even if they aren't Chrysos Heirs, can they still be heroes?]
[In this era, every goodbye could be the last?]
[If ordinary people are like this, what about the Chrysos Heirs?!]
Anaxa in the plot wasn't feeling very well either, so the two groups separated for the time being.
But a blind spot appeared later, which was pointed out by Castorice, recapturing the players' attention.
Castorice has the ability of being unable to touch others, yet when she accidentally touched Stelle at the Tree Court, nothing happened?
"I would've forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!"
Guinaifen immediately chose that dialogue option.
[Is that true? When Castorice was blown away and Stelle caught her, she was actually fine?]
[The situation was urgent back then, I really didn't notice.]
[Do you think Stelle might have some kind of special power?!]
On the Xianzhou, facing the livestream camera, Guinaifen also held up a finger: "I know."
"Is it possible that Stelle is actually already dead? After all, Castorice can only come into contact with the dead!"
[Uh...]
[Guinaifen stopped talking nonsense and started talking crazy instead.]
[Chang Chang, please keep Guinaifen under control. Just let you do the talking in future streams.]
Guinaifen gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
She was just making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, was the bullet chat really necessary!
Following Stelle going to rest, the game's perspective shifted back to Aglaea and Tribbie.
The two of them clearly sensed the news of Trianne using the Gate of a Hundred Worlds again.
In fact, Tribbie understood that "they" would one day part ways; she only hoped they could say a proper goodbye at the end.
To prevent the current situation from feeling too heavy, the two prepared to take a bath to relax, only to encounter a scene that was hard to handle.
People were collapsed all over the bathhouse; even Hyacine had rushed over in a hurry, even seeing Phainon lying on the ground.
Upon inquiry, they found out...
It was Mydei and Phainon competing to see who could soak in the water longer. In the end, because the water temperature was too high, they had messed everyone else up.
Hyacine: "(ᗜ_ᗜ)"
Tribbie: "(ᗜ_ᗜ)"
Aglaea: "This really is... quite a disgraceful display."
This left everyone completely speechless.
Fortunately, after cleaning up, the three of them finally got to soak.
After following the plot for a long time, everyone seemed to understand Tribbie's defect.
[I thought at first the Author just made such a character because small is cute, but I didn't expect it to be a defect like Castorice's.]
[Every time they use the Gate of a Hundred Worlds, it damages the soul, so they keep splitting and getting smaller and smaller.]
[I wonder if Tribbie and the others will have a chance to change back in the future?]
[Great! This is written so well. I'm already feeling sad for Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon, especially knowing they used to be so big, waaaah~]
Of course, it wasn't just here; at the same time, Mydei and Phainon were also discussing the fears they had seen of each other during the previous trials.
For Phainon, it was his incinerated hometown and Cyrene being killed by a black swordsman.
For Mydei, it was his comrades who had fallen long ago...
"Hephaestion, Perdiccas, Leon, Ptolemy, Puseta."
"Hephaestion was skilled in combat, Perdiccas was skilled in pharmacy, and Leon was skilled in running."
"Ptolemy was a scholar, and Puseta was a fine lyre player."
Although more than ten years had passed, Mydei could still recount their deeds one by one.
Alas, they had all died in one foreign land after another to preserve the former Mydmos.
Perhaps this was why the Xuanfeng People were so obsessed with returning home.
Up to this point, the livestream audience and players, who were originally confused by this behavior, gradually began to understand why they wanted to return home.
But misfortune always comes in waves.
This peaceful life hadn't lasted long before something happened to Trinnon!
Suddenly.
The two plotlines merged inexplicably. Just as Mydei was talking about Kratros, Tribbie rushed over.
"Little Dei—something terrible has happened, it's bad!"
"Go save her! Trinnon, she—she's been kidnapped by Kratros!"
Seeing this, the bullet chat really couldn't hold it in.
[What the heck? Again?!]
[It's bad, it's bad, guys! Bad news from the Fire Chasing Circle, Trinnon has been kidnapped!]
[Kratros did it? Why? Isn't he Mydei's master?!]
Guinaifen also looked anxious upon seeing this.
Inexplicably, Kratros had no grudge against Trinnon. Could it be that the black tide had attacked and taken control of him?
She quickly rushed over.
It turned out not to be the black tide, but because of his anxiety over the future of the Xuanfeng People, he had taken Trinnon hostage, wanting to pass the oracle trial himself and return home.
Obviously, he failed.
Aglaea was determined to execute him, but she was stopped by Tribbie and Trianne.
The two understood that he didn't believe in the oracle and was afraid that the Xuanfeng People would have no place after the Re-creation.
Therefore.
"We want to earn your trust, and the trust of the Xuanfeng People. I think the best way is to take you to witness the source of the prophecy with your own eyes."
"You should have heard about that outworlder; she has established a connection with Orionis."
"We will ask for her help. Tomorrow, at the temple in Januspolis within the Abyss of Destiny, Kratros, 'we' are willing to reveal that ancient memory to you, without reservation."
[That ancient memory? Does it mean from Tiresias's time?]
[It's finally coming. Whether this fan game is good or not depends on this wave of character development!]
