the other side.

Inside the pavilion near the Marble Palace.

"Teacher Xia, it's been a long time."

"?" Xia turned around at that moment, giving Bai E a strange look. "Who are you?"

Bai Er scratched his head awkwardly. "It's been a long time. I'm the student who overturned the classroom in the Soul Physics class."

"Is that a student? That's a beast..."

At that moment, Xia Jingjing looked Bai E up and down, "So it was you."

"What do you want, you beast?"

“Uh, no, teacher.” Bai’er’s eyes widened. “I just said it offhand…you really remember this?”

"Of course I remember your glib tongue, you beast." Xia said expressionlessly at that moment.

"Uh... could you please stop using that word?" Bai E felt a little ashamed. "Teacher, you are a Golden Descendant, this is not a good influence."

"Then why are you beating around the bush?" Xia stared at Bai E. "You clearly have ulterior motives for contacting me, don't you?"

"Not at all..." Bai E rubbed his nose. "I've come here sincerely to learn from you, as always..."

"Please do not hesitate to share your knowledge: everything you know about that black-robed swordsman."

"..."

"Tch." Xia narrowed her eyes at that moment.

"Rumors spread really fast."

"It seems that it won't be long before there is turmoil within Ohmma."

"As for that black-robed swordsman, unfortunately, I know nothing about him either."

"All I can tell you is that he was clad in a black robe and wielded a heavy sword... probably a heavy sword, shaped like a distorted half-sun..."

"There was also a strange dagger, or perhaps a small staff? In any case, it was shaped like a crescent moon."

After hearing Xia's description, Bai E frowned.

This was exactly the same as the enemy he remembered.

"Oh, right, take this." Xia took out a piece of charred black cloth and handed it to Bai E.

"This is the spoils of war that the nameless traveler cut down. I picked it up casually, so I'm giving it to you."

Bai E took the charred cloth, and distant memories immediately flooded back.

"There's no mistake...it's him!"

"The one who burned down the Eri's Secret Pavilion...the murderer who killed everyone."

Bai E gripped the black cloth tightly, his whole body trembling, his long-suppressed emotions extremely heavy.

"I advise you not to try to be a hero." Xia's eyes were indifferent at that moment.

"Right now, no one can rival Ohmma."

"The only person who can suppress him hasn't returned yet."

"What? Didn't they say... he was already killed by the Yan brothers?!" Bai E exclaimed in alarm.

"Yes, but who witnessed his death in the end?" Xia said in a deep voice, his arms crossed.

"Like that stranger, isn't he now living a life of ease far from Onphalus?"

"We must see the person alive or dead; that's the rule for soldiers."

Bai'er asked, "Did that Titan say the same thing?"

Today, the city of Ohma is home to a self-aware Titan named Serhith.

"Hmph, it wasn't always like that," Xia said disdainfully.

"But after experiencing its power, we had to admit defeat."

"If I had joined the battle then, even if I had been possessed by a god, I would have had a hard time withstanding their blades..."

"That incredible power was not like the blessing of any Titan, but rather like that nameless guest."

Bai'er's expression turned serious. "You want to claim... that it also originated outside of Onpharos?"

“It’s not impossible,” Xia said calmly. “Just like the Black Tide, isn’t it?”

Bai E was somewhat agitated, "But no matter what, they are enemies we must defeat."

"Us?" Xia asked in surprise.

He then frowned, his voice cold:

"Don't get your hopes up, Bai'e. Nobody wants to see you die by its sword."

"Even that woman Cesis couldn't handle it, let alone forces below the Titan level."

“But… as long as that guy exists, he will threaten the Holy City and the Journey of Chasing Fire,” Bai E insisted.

"You know I don't believe it at all." Xia's face was expressionless at that moment.

Seeing his former mentor in this state, Bai E said solemnly:

"—I know you don't believe in so-called divine oracles."

“But I’ve come to seek your help not on the orders of Aglaia or Teacher Tibo…”

"I only wish to rid the city-state I swore to protect of a scourge, nothing more."

"The tragedy of Shuting must never be repeated."

"..." Seeing Bai E's determination, Xia remained silent for a while before finally sighing.

"Ugh."

"sit down."

"Since you are so sincere in asking for my advice... then I will tell you one more thing."

……

The fate is deep.

"What's wrong, Tian?" Tibao looked at the cute red-haired girl whose bangs were covering one eye with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just... I was thinking about Shuting again."

Tian's voice sounded somewhat forlorn.

"Tian... failed to protect Xiao Huan, and in the end, he perished together with the monster."

"The monster in the black cloak...it's terrifying. Everyone, we're in danger...a nightmare we'll never forget."

"It's okay...there are no bad people here." Tibo hugged Tian and comforted her.

"That monster has perished in the red thunderstorm; we will never see him again."

“Yes, that’s true.” Tian nodded.

"Xiao Huan can come back too, right...?"

“It definitely can,” Tibo said sincerely.

"That's what Mr. Danheng said. If Mr. Yan Huan were really in danger, he wouldn't be so calm."

"Besides, Tian is also very brave."

"Thanks to you all, the flame of Sersis has been preserved, and the journey to the fire has been able to continue smoothly."

“Yes, that’s right…” Tian gradually regained her energy and came to her senses from her self-blame.

"Hehe, Tian, ​​you're really amazing."

"But... why did we come here?"

“Of course, it’s for the same reason,” Tibbo explained patiently. “Remember? Tomorrow we’re going to reveal the past of the oracle to everyone.”

“But before that, we must clear away the memories that have become clouded by division. We hope to present the truth to everyone as it is, without concealing anything.”

"The split is ultimately Janus's doing, and only Eulonis, who is also a Titan, can help us."

Tinning nodded, then added:

"And... don't forget to prepare breakfast for Aya before dawn."

"Oh! That's how it is, Tian remembers everything now!" Tian smiled with sudden realization.

“Speaking of which,” Tinin said, her eyes hidden, looking at the two of them, “we’d ​​better prepare some saffron before we go to see the Titans.”

"Saffron?" Tibo, whose eyes were showing, was taken aback for a moment, then remembered.

“Oh…that’s a necessary item for the Three-Phase Temple sacrificial ceremony. Do you feel you can’t go to see Oronis empty-handed, Tinin?”

"No, I'm just a little hungry." Tinning rubbed her tummy.

"..."

Chapter 1297: Rice balls are still delicious

"However, you reminded me..."

“Saffron is one of the symbols of Janusapolis… If we want to recreate memories… we'd better have something that has stood the test of time as a foundation…”

"And... when I first met Aya... we put this in the porridge we made for her... she loved it."

"I see." Tian looked at Tianning with admiration. "A triple win!"

“However… this is contingent on Oronis being willing to help us,” Tinin emphasized.

“This…is indeed a problem.” Tibo said somewhat nervously.

If Yan Huan and Mimi were still here, things would be fine, but with the self-destruction of the body, Mimi also disappeared.

Oronis is not actually friendly to humans now. Moreover, the people who took away the fire of its beloved Janus back then... were the three great masters here.
