Star Iron: Holding the past events of the sun and moon in its hands, a dove carrying a nail from the

"What...?"

Under the stunned gazes of Xia Die and Feng Jin, Yun Xingqi recounted what had happened.

After he finished speaking, Feng Jin looked at Yun Xingqi in surprise: "I didn't expect that strange phenomenon was caused by Qi Bao? As expected of you!"

Then, remembering something, she sighed helplessly, "But Lady Sai Fei'er really is..."

"I reckon Lady Aglaia will be anxious for a while before we get back."

Xia Die nodded: "Since you are safe and sound, let's return to the Holy City as soon as possible."

"Now, only Lady Aglaia, Tibo, Tian, ​​and Tinin remain in Ohma, making its defenses inadequate."

"The flames of the Titans of Conflict have not yet been extinguished. If Nicardoli were to launch a surprise attack on Ohma at this time..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingqi and the other two were stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening.

Aglaia and Tibo are not good at fighting. Although they are demigods, they would probably suffer a loss against Nicardo, who is a Titan of Strife.

As for Sai Fei'er, it would be fine if she were willing to return to defend the Holy City, but if...

Feng Jin looked at Xia Die with heartache: "But Die Bao, didn't you also want to go to Stikocia this time?"

"Otherwise, let Qi Bao and the others go back to protect the Holy City, and I'll go with you."

"What?" Yun Xingqi asked in surprise, listening to their conversation, "Are you going to find the Titan of Death?"

If she goes to Stikocia at this time, she probably won't be able to see her sister, right?

But if we go to find that Xia to use alchemy? Forget it, let's think of another way.

"what?"

Upon hearing Yun Xingqi's words, Xia Die and Feng Jin exchanged a glance and asked in confusion, "Does Your Excellency know this?"

"Well, you won't be able to see the Titan of Death if you go now. Let's go back to the Holy City first, and come back together when we're ready."

Xia Die nodded: "Thank you, sir. Let's rest for a bit and then set off."

……

After a period of rest, Yun Xingqi, looking utterly miserable, was carried on the shoulders of Bai E and Wan Di in turns as they continued their journey.

Having trekked through mountains and rivers, Yun Xingqi barely managed to hold back from vomiting on the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

At the gate of Ohma.

"vomit--"

Wan Di, Xia Die, and Feng Jin have already entered the city.

Bai E looked awkwardly at Yun Xingqi, who was leaning against a tree by the roadside, vomiting uncontrollably.

"Partner... are you alright?"

Yun Xingqi raised her head, looking at him with a death wish: "You said—ugh—"

Oh my god, it feels like the food I've eaten these past few days hasn't even gone into my stomach to be digested; it just went through my esophagus and I threw it up again.

Unfortunately, this situation isn't an illness, so Feng Jin can't cure it; she can only wait for the feeling to subside on its own.

"I will never—vomit—"

Seeing that Yun Xingqi was about to vomit again, Bai E quickly stepped forward to help and patted her back.

"Partner, your body isn't up to par. You need to exercise more."

……

Just as Yun Xingqi was vomiting, a figure dressed in black robes looked at him with heartache from afar outside Ohmma City.

Even when the Nail of Frost fell, the man in black was watching from afar.

Now, his eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Yun Xingqi.

It must be... that power unlike anything in this world, this person is the savior he has been waiting for in his dreams.

He's finally here... He's finally here!

But... why is his body so weak? He's already vomiting like this after running such a short distance?

That won't do.

Thinking of this, the man in black robes immediately set off, intending to find something nourishing to secretly give to Yun Xingqi.

This is the savior he has been waiting for for far too long; he can't afford any mishaps.

……

Inside Yun Xingqi's bathing palace.

Aglaia looked at Yun Xingqi's pale face and her lips twitched.

"Your Excellency, there's no need to rush. Although I'm not good at fighting, I can still hold the Holy City for the time being."

As she spoke, she took out a newly made set of clothes and handed it over.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingqi's lips twitched, and he looked at Aglaia speechlessly.

He wanted to slow down, but the Black Tide lay between Ohma and Stikosia. The Golden Ones could stay there briefly without any problem, but he couldn't.

We can't just throw in another icy nail just to make ourselves more comfortable, can we?

Wouldn't that be suicide? Without Sai Fei'er, they wouldn't be able to escape at all.

Seeing the boy's expression, Aglaia suddenly realized why, and immediately looked embarrassed.

"I apologize, sir, it was my oversight."

"However, your book is truly magical. Just reading a few words can summon such great terror and also has the effect of purifying the Black Tide."

Yun Xingqi thought for a moment, then recalled the events of the past and handed them to Aglaia.

He had just contacted Sai Fei'er and learned that when he read it that day, all the sounds that fell into her ears were automatically translated into a fairy tale.

Even events from the past are a blank in her eyes.

Does that also mean that even if Lai Gushi faced him, he would not be able to resist the Frost Nails, let alone use them for his own purposes?

"Take a look. If you can see it, remember the words on it, but don't read them aloud. They might not save your life in a critical moment, but at least you can take the enemy down with you."

"..."

Surprisingly, Aglaia stared at the book in his hand for a long time but did not take it. In the end, she gently pushed it back to him.

She sat down next to Yun Xingqi and smiled gently: "No need, this is your book, your support in this world."

"My life has been dedicated to Onphalus and the pursuit of fire. I have no fear or regret even in death."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingqi froze, staring blankly at the person beside her: "Aglai..."

Aglaia sighed and looked out the window.

Through here, you can see the statue of Cephalus directly.

She once gave the world her whole heart, and now, can she take another gamble...?

"..."

"But you are different, stranger from beyond the heavens. Onphalus is not your home, and you don't need to give up everything for this place."

"After spending this time together, and through your experiences with Bai E and the others, I know that you are a pure-hearted and kind-hearted child."

"I can also sense that you genuinely want to do something for us and for Onfaros."

"On behalf of Onfaros, I thank you, but this book must not be shown to anyone else, not even the Golden Blood."

"I have a feeling that as long as it exists, even if Onpharos... really reaches its end one day, you can still save yourself with it."

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.

Yun Xingqi had long known that the Golden Descendants were all like this.

Even Aglaia's initial toughness was only a facade she adopted to protect everyone.

Now, he is telling her about the past with half sincerity and half testing the waters.

She clearly sensed it, yet she was willing to tell me so much from the bottom of her heart.

It would be a lie to say I didn't feel bad or guilty.

The two sat there quietly, neither of them speaking.

After a long while, Yun Xingqi finally nodded: "Thank you, Aglaia."

Oh, all of you in Onphalus… you considered everyone, but did you ever think of yourselves, even for a moment…?

"I plan to accompany Xia Die to Stikosia again soon."

"Firstly, it's to help her find the answer she's always been looking for."

"Secondly, for the sake of the spark of death."
