I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Daolin glanced at the tiny figure entangled with the dragon, then looked again at the water axe fighting with Gennawei.

“High Priest…” he said in a low voice, “you lied to us.”

"No, I didn't lie to you, I just... forgot." Due to the shock, she lost her memory and returned to the time when she was five years old and went home alone to find her mother.

Even so, she never saw her mother again.

"I went to the palace because I felt a sense of familiarity with it. I'm sorry he got injured," the girl said softly, looking up at Shui Qi's fighting figure.

"When I first held the tablet of destiny, I truly remembered who I was. I hesitated about whether I should do this; you saved me when I was young, and he was my savior. But I am a priest, a royal priest, the king's high priest. My mission is to awaken the sleeping king. I have died in the past, becoming an insignificant ripple in the torrent of history. My wishes are not important; what matters is that the king will surely awaken. Even though I did not do it, he still awoke."

"And now, my mission is complete."

Perhaps because of the rising sun, or perhaps because of the dissipation of the aurora, the girl's figure gradually became transparent, and seemed about to disappear in the next second.

"So what is your wish?" Daolin pressed.

The girl was slightly taken aback. "My wish?"

“That’s right, it’s your will. You say you’re a priest, a royal official, the king’s high priest, but what about yourself?” Daolin paused, noticing a hint of hesitation in the girl’s expression, and continued, “You want to help him, don’t you?”

"Although Shui Qi is not a good person, he is impatient but very patient with children. He is hypocritical, but he always hides a kindness in his heart that he is unwilling to face, or rather, a true and pure heart, but he is stubborn and unwilling to admit it. However, in times of crisis, he can make the choice to save people without hesitation, even if it is a foolish act of selflessness that he always talks about."

"At first, I was also deceived by his outward appearance, but after getting to know him better, I realized that the only thing he was really tough about was his mouth."

The girl lowered her head and whispered, "He...is a good person...perhaps it's because of ungrateful people like me that he turned out this way."

"If you don't kill the dragon, he will die. Will you help him?" He gazed quietly at the girl with his icy blue eyes, holding Mu Yegui in one arm, and asked slowly.

The girl clenched her fists tightly. "How can I help you?"

boom!
A loud bang came from beside me, accompanied by wind and dust that blurred my vision.

"Cough cough," Shui Qi sat up in the ruins, coughing as he fanned away the dust in front of him.

One benefit of the surgery is that the body becomes stronger. In the past, this level of injury would have caused serious injury and vomiting blood, but now there is no pain or itching, or even any pain. Is it because the sense of pain has weakened, or... does Samuro not have the sense of pain at all?
"I thought it would be more interesting, but it's really boring." Gnawow glanced at Shui Qi and snorted.

"Now, it's time to return my elder sister to me." He held out a hand to Dao Lin, his tone contemptuous and superior, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation.

Dao Lin took a step back while holding Mu Ye Gui and said, "I'm sorry, but no. I still stand by what I said: Mu Ye Gui is our partner, and I cannot hand her over to you."

“You’re so stubborn it’s disgusting. Can’t you just listen to me? I don’t want to kill you all…” Gnawi sighed. “In that case, I have no choice but to go against my sister’s wishes.”

"Shui Qi, go help Noyce." Daolin looked at Gnaws warily and whispered to Shui Qi. "Are you sure you can do it?" Shui Qi frowned and asked.

"Never mind that, his side is more important," Dao Lin shook his head and said.

After all, the dragon's lair is the key to ending this instance, and Gnawwe has nothing to do with it; their ultimate goal is simply to conquer this instance.
"Alright." Shui Qi drew his Tang sword and charged towards the dragon.

After seeing Shui Qi leave, Dao Lin spoke to the girl again, "Could you go and keep an eye on Shui Qi for me? He needs you."

The girl nodded in agreement.

“Now, it’s just the two of us left.” He said slowly, his icy blue eyes fixed on Gnaw.

Gnarway frowned. "So? You deliberately sent them away, what do you want to tell me?"

"What did Lanlos say to you?"

He then added, "I've heard the rumors about you, but you should still be imprisoned, so I guess you were rescued. The only person who could have rescued you is Lanlos, who is at odds with Sher and the others. After all, their relationship has been tense for a long time. You don't need to deny it. Although I don't have much contact with you, I do have some special channels to obtain information that others don't know about."

“It’s not just you, there are other helpers I should know, but I haven’t found them after thinking through everyone, which means they’re being hidden.”

"Dawn is key."

"That person is connected to dawn."

"Of all the known information about the dungeons, the only one related to the sun is the Sun Altar. And everyone I know is now in this Ruins Battlefield. I wondered if it could be Noyce, but the timing doesn't match up. Noyce was already in the Ruins Battlefield when the sun rose, so there was an unknown entity outside at that time."

"There are no unknown people among the crown princes, and the one who can solve the puzzle and raise the sun may not be a crown prince, but he will not help us for no reason, so I must know that person. The fact that I don't remember him and call him an unknown person means that the conditions for the sun to rise are more stringent than I thought, and his disappearance may even be related to him."

"So the conclusion is that your helper is Lanlos's partner, and that person is our former companion. However, he has completely disappeared and hidden in the cause and effect due to the rising of the sun, so none of us will remember him."

"Although I don't know who it is, it must be a very cunning and heroic person."

With his icy blue eyes slightly narrowed, Daolin stared intently at Gennawei and said, "I can't beat you, and I don't want to engage in pointless battles. If you can convince me, I will hand Mu Yegui over to you."

"Convince you? There's no need for that..."

Daolin interrupted Gennawei, "Then how about I help you persuade Mu Yegui to go with you willingly?"

"You can convince him?" Gnawow was taken aback.

"That depends on what kind of reason you give me," Dao Lin said with a light laugh. (End of Chapter)
