Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 658 Thank you, Lord Palace Master
"..."

As Ryan watched the witch's soul vanish before his eyes, a heavy weight seemed to press down on his heart.

Although he has now become a Fire Saint, the witch can offer him very limited help.

But over the course of their long time together, he had come to regard the witch as an important friend.

And now, this friend has been taken away by the campfire.

Ryan remained silent.

He knew very well that although he was still a firewood gatherer, he had received kindness from his friends by the candlelight. In the eyes of the person in charge behind the campfire, he was no longer a pure firewood gatherer.

The reason the campfire kept him here was not out of any past affection.

Rather, they were wary of candlelight.

Taking the witch away was also a silent warning to him...

……

The Fire God Temple, the residence of the temple master.

"Argoni!"

An angry roar resounded, and the spirit of Chief Yasum appeared at that moment, filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Why did the candlelight know where I was going? Why did it remain unmoved by my pleas for help?"

"Candlelight! A soul from afar! It is the ultimate evil of heresy! You are condoning and tolerating it, nurturing a tiger that will eventually strike!"

"Cooperating with them is not a wise decision!"

Chief Yasum was furious.

This operation by Li Miao and his group has caused him extremely heavy losses.

Not only did they fail to obtain the [Sleeping Soul] they needed, they also lost Ryan's powerful body as a Firewood Gatherer. To make matters worse, many of the other Asum souls he controlled were torn away!

This also means that even if he finds a suitable body like Ryan's again, his strength will be far less than before...

And what about Chief Yasum's roar?

Argonius remained silent, calmly watching him.

He only spoke slowly when Chief Yasum began to pant, still seething with anger.

"Are you finished?"

Seeing that he did not respond, Agoni spoke again on his own.

"It seems we've finished talking."

He raised his hand, orange-red flames swirling around his fingernails before landing on Chief Yasum's soul.

Chief Yasum did not object to this.

"As fellow countrymen around the campfire, I allow you to be slightly offensive in your anger."

"Now, you'd better calm down."

"You should already know how powerful the candlelight is, and now, it's helping us resist the Twilight of Fallen Flames and the occasional Abyss of Extinction..."

As he said this, Argonine's white hood, which covered his face, fluttered slightly, as if stirred by the firelight.

"Yasum..."

"For this reason alone, I have enough reason to abandon you."

Argoni spoke the coldest words in the calmest tone.

Chief Yasum, whose anger had largely subsided, could only listen with resentment.

He knew that Argonne was not joking when he said this; the other party had most likely already considered abandoning him...

Despite how cruel it was, he dared not utter a single complaint.

There is no other reason.

Although he and Agoni were both veteran members of the campfire, there was a huge gap between veterans.

After all, both original shareholders and minority shareholders are referred to as shareholders...

So, since the other party didn't abandon him, he really should say "thank you."

"Although the person in charge of the candle cannot be judged by common sense, he did not go too far and left you a way out."

"Remember this lesson."

Argoni spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of admonition. "Don't provoke the Candlelight again, and try to avoid them and your compatriot Ryan... He has close ties with the Candlelight warriors, and the Candlelight's leader values ​​their opinions highly."

"Perhaps you should learn a thing or two and change your methods... If you didn't achieve your goals in such a crude way, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened..."

"Bearing the name of their clan, yet indulging in individual desires..."

By the end, Argoni's voice carried a hint of disdain; had he not been unable to move, he would have shaken his head in disapproval.

Clearly, he also looked down on the other side's behavior of treating their compatriots as slaves.

If it weren't from the perspective of the leader of the Fire God Temple, he wouldn't bother with whether this guy lived or died.

Hear this.

Chief Yasum gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment.

That damned candlelight, letting its warriors try to stop it, gave it a sound beating, took its body, and even freed its Yasum soul...

I enslave my own kind, but I didn't enslave you.
Why are you all rushing to join in the fun! You bunch of damn bastards!

Such an act of obstruction is an irreconcilable enmity!
What's even more infuriating is that it's not hard to tell from Agoni's words that Ryan, his former slave, is now just a woodcutter!

And I have to go around him like the plague! I can't afford to provoke him!

It's because he has a close relationship with those candle spirits!

Damn, this is our headquarters!
Shouldn't he be the one avoiding me?!

Chief Yasum was so angry he wanted to skin Li Miao and the others alive.

but!

Then again.

Even if he were given the chance now, he probably wouldn't have the guts.

Even without this incident, let alone the current relationship between the campfire and the candlelight, he wouldn't dare to do it.

The candlekeeper was being far too protective of his own.

He survived this time entirely because of Agoni and the campfire.

If he were to act recklessly again, Yasum felt he would most likely become the glue used by the two factions to mend the rift in their relationship...

So, despite his anger and frustration.

But all they could do was swallow their pride and accept their fate.

After all, he's still alive, isn't he?
"……I see."

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master."

Chief Yasum took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and responded.

"Go on, get back to work." Argonne didn't say much more.

He has already moved the Yasum tomb from Ryan's side.

There are still many firewood gatherers in the Yasum clan, so there's no need to worry about this guy becoming completely useless.

At this point, Yagoni had to admit that although Yasum was crude in his methods, at least he worked hard.

There were quite a few high-quality Asum warriors who were forced in back then...

Having received Agoni's approval, the frustrated Chief Yasum quickly took his leave and did not linger there.

His immediate priority is to restore his strength as soon as possible.

……

"Here."

"I didn't expect there to be a statue of the Long Night here as well."

Li Miao stepped forward and came to a strange little pile of rocks formed by the intertwining and twisting of trees and rocks.

This is the location indicated by Carlos's eyes.

Beneath this small pile of rocks, a new statue of the Long Night suddenly appeared before the three of them.

[The Statue of the Long Night]

[Note: The idol in the long night, its true form hidden behind a veil of mystery, may offer something of interest in exchange for enlightenment.]

You have one more chance for enlightenment.
