Lu Ye was taken aback.

What's going on?

Bernal, are you now explaining to me things you already know, just to play along with my act?

However, considering Bernal's previous advice against Diaros becoming a Herrscher of the Void, it's not surprising.

“Oh dear, I didn’t know that,” A-Tui said. “After all, when we first met in the Round Table Hall, you said it was pointless to give your name. I didn’t know you were also called Hoslau… I’m sorry, but it’s already happened, so that’s how it is.”

“Remember, fighting is forbidden at the Volcano Mansion,” Bernal said. “If you attack your own comrades, you will no longer be a Herrscher.”

Diaros said nothing, but silently turned around, took Yuno's helmet, and left.

Letia glanced at Lu Ye, and after receiving a look of approval from him, she followed Diaros out.

“A weak person,” Bernal then offered his opinion.

"Ok?"

“I knew about it the first day he arrived at the Volcano Mansion,” Bernal said. “He was furious at the time, but he was intimidated by the Forge Knights behind Tanis and retreated. Now, even though his own brother has been killed, he doesn’t dare to do anything even if the person is standing right in front of him.”

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Ye said. "Why did you cooperate with me just now?"

“Because it’s very interesting,” Bernal said. “I’m curious how you convinced Juno Hollaus to give you the helmet.”

You noticed?

“The bloodstains are fake,” Bernal said. “You don’t know the other faded ones.”

Aren't you going to tell Tanis?

“There’s no need. I won’t work for her. Although I warned you before that you must think before hunting your fellow human beings, it seems to make no difference to you whether you kill or not. And it is precisely because of this that you will not have a good end.”

“Really? That’s not necessarily true,” Lu Ye said.

A-Tui looked at the two of them and tilted his head.

It's strange, why do I recognize every word they say, but still not understand their meaning?

Bernal stared at Lu Ye for a long while before saying, "If you really understand what this means, then I admire you. I know you want to use Yuno to provoke that second son, but even if he's not weak, after some time he calms down, he will understand the fact that Yuno is not dead, as will everyone else. The Faded Ones who helped you can't stay still, and in that case, the traces will eventually be exposed."

“Of course.” Lu Ye shrugged. “If my goal is simply to stop Diaross from becoming a traitor, then I’ve pretty much achieved my objective. I need to bring him to his senses.”

“In any case, it’s a good thing that such a person won’t become a Hercules,” Bernal said.

After leaving the guest room, Lu Ye took A Tui outside.

Diaros and Letia have disappeared.

But Lu Ye knew what Diaros was doing.

Of course, this wasn't something Letia told Luye; such a near-predictive thing was beyond the capabilities of a mere maid like her.

But if you understand a person, you can predict their behavior.

Bernal said Diaros was too weak, but that was not the case.

Diaros must be preparing to attack Ame now.

Then it's time for us to call in more players.

Lu Ye and A Tui walked along the mountain path of Mount Gemir.

I heard from Alexander that he got lost on his way here and ended up in a tribe of demi-humans on the mountainside, where there was a magician whose body was covered in stones.

The only mage that Lu Ye could think of who was covered in stones was the Origin Mage, Yazler.

Since I have some free time now, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

Upon arriving at the demi-human tribe, although the demi-humans showed great aggression towards the arrival of outsiders, the demi-human staff that A-Tui took out of his backpack played a certain role.

This was bestowed by Queen Renara of the Full Moon in order to win over the demi-human forces.

The demi-human queen here has such a staff.

When the incident at the academy happened, and those magical puppets were transferred from here to Lienia, it was the demi-people here who relayed the news to the magicians of the Kalia faction.

After explaining that he was a magician serving the Caria royal family, the demi-humans did not make things too difficult for Lu Ye.

However, every now and then, some demi-humans would try to go up and beat up A-Tui; that's probably what it feels like to be hated by everyone and even dogs.

After meeting Master Yazler, the latter did not speak.

Just like Master Luther, he slightly raised his hand, silently leaving behind the Origin Magic, and then stopped moving.

[Acquired: Comet Yazler]

[Note: One of the Origin Magicians, Yazler's magic.]

One of the "legendary magics".

It is said that the home of pyroxene is located in the distant starry sky.

A super-large comet capable of releasing stellar torrents.

The energy can be continuously released through sustained application.

The origin that Yazler glimpsed was darkness—

It is said that the dark abyss, besides stealing his mind,

It also instilled fear in him.

"This magic... seems very dangerous," A-Tu said cautiously.

Although it can unleash some kind of celestial torrent, the description of this magic doesn't look very promising.

“No, it’s dangerous for those who explore it,” Melina said as she appeared. “If you’re just using it, you can treat it as a tool. But I doubt you’d go out of your way to explore the origins of stars.”

"Want to give it a try?" Lu Ye asked.

"Huh? But I'm not smart enough!"

"That's right." Lu Ye chuckled.

"—Ah! You're lying to me! Ah Mei, come and help me hold him down!"

Melina fell silent as she watched A-Tui try to pinch Lu Ye.

It seems that no matter how much intelligence one gains, it probably won't change Ah Tui.

This is what they mean by "rotten wood cannot be carved."

Queen Maggie, the demi-human queen, was quite polite to those who served Queen Renara.

She didn't know how Yazle got here; all she knew was that Yazle didn't have so many beautiful gemstones on her body the day she arrived.

Yazler agreed to rest here for a while on the condition that he would teach her magic.

Maggie certainly didn't refuse these conditions, but she didn't expect that this rest would last for such a long time.

evening.

Lu Ye and A Tui were attacked on their way back on horseback.

Just as Luye had predicted, the attackers were none other than Diaros.

Despite careful planning, Diaros's combat ability was not strong, and with Lu Ye using a heartbeat detector along the way to guard against him, he easily dodged the attack.

"Let's duel!" Diaros said, pointing at A-Tui with his petal braid, not giving up.

“If you turn against your own comrades, you will lose your status as a Herrscher,” Lu Ye said. “Your brother, as a well-known Faded Warrior, has a chance of being put on the Volcano Mansion’s kill list. You should know that.”

"—That's my brother!" Diaros said viciously. "I'll make you pay for this!"

"So, you're not going to be a Hercules anymore?" A-Tu asked.

"If you attack your comrades, you will no longer be a member of the Herrschers from this day forward."

“It doesn’t matter, being a Herrscher is just an identity…” Diaros’s eyes were cold. “Ms. Tanis pointed me in the right direction, and I can move forward on that path. And you are the first one.”

"Stop messing around. You're not even as good as your brother, so how could you possibly defeat me? You're really overestimating yourself. But if you're willing to die, I won't object."

"I will kill you and use your corpse to pay tribute to my brother... Hoslough speaks with blood!"

Chapter 645 Sober

Since the other party had already made such a tough statement, A-Mei no longer hesitated and took out his staff and Roger's rapier.

As for why it was Roger's rapier...

Firstly, because they wouldn't actually kill Diaros, they wouldn't use the summoning bell to gang up on him; this is A-Tui's gentleness.

Secondly, because she wasn't very strong, a small rapier suited her well.

Lu Ye's storage space is almost entirely filled with weapons; it's practically a mobile armory.

Lethea then tried to persuade Diaros, saying something like, "You can't beat the two of them."

Lu Ye stated that as someone in the know, he would not interfere.

This gave Diaros even more motivation.

A-Tui tightened his grip on the rapier.

This was her first time fighting someone in close combat.

However, there was no other way. Lu Ye said that this was also part of the plan, and he had to do it himself, otherwise it would not be effective.

Of course, A-Tui didn't understand what this effect was.

Black flames billowed along the mountain path, and the scorching air made one's mouth feel parched.

A hot wind, hotter than body temperature, swept by, causing the trees on the mountainside to sway in the breeze, but not a single leaf fell.

Then, the battle began.

The way A-Tui fought Diaros was absolutely spectacular.

That's only natural. What could be more entertaining than watching two chickens fight each other?

The fight between these two was so exciting that even Letia thought it was hilarious to watch.

That's natural.

A-Tui is skilled in magic, prayer, and the use of the summoning bell, but he is not proficient in close combat and has no free time to use magic.
