After Granny Nail told the whole story, many things finally connected together.
For example, why does the Water Pattern Witch say that the person involved is Granny Nail, because Granny Nail did participate in refining the Box of Reincarnation.
And why Granny Nail warned him not to use the Scroll of Luck? It was because of Ivo Spruit’s past experience.
Angel even speculated that what Portia once said was that Nail Granny rarely made alchemy and seldom went to the R&D institute. It has been doing so for thousands of years. The time point of a thousand years is too coincidental. Maybe it is the reason for Nail Granny's change.
, also because of this matter.
However, behind all these things, there is another doubt that Angel has not understood.
"Alex, does this have anything to do with this story?"
Granny Nail sighed softly: "Alex is actually the name Ivo used when he was still a mortal."
Not only that, Nail Granny also explained the similarities between Ivo and Alex in Shadow of the Cage, such as the same pure white hair, similar tone of voice, etc.
After listening to this, Angel fell into deep thought.
Fragments of various memories kept pouring out of his mind, from what happened after he went to Gust Town, the brutal serial murders, the boy looking up at the moon, the undead stalker, the imprisoned cage, and the creation of rebellion
A priest who seeks to eliminate outsiders, a nun who purges outsiders...
There are also things Granny Nail told him, Ivo's former name, the refiner of the Box of Reincarnation, the nightmare when the mysterious thing comes... and so on.
These memory fragments that emerged seemed to be condensed into pearls in the quiet thoughts.
These "pearls" are suspended in the thinking space, shimmering and rising and falling.
Angel always felt that there seemed to be a piece of territory missing in these memories that came out. This territory would eventually turn into a long chain, connecting these suspended pearls together.
The final vague veil is lifted for this mysterious event.
Angel has been searching for this final map, the box of memory, opening it bit by bit, trying to find clues that can connect these memory fragments.
Granny Nail did not disturb Angel and sat quietly aside, thinking about the last parting with Ivo in her mind.
At that time, the mysterious thing had been successfully refined, but the nightmare followed.
Ivo was ecstatic a moment ago, but he was stunned this second. Looking at the world in front of him that was continuing to collapse, he stood still.
After a long time, he seemed to understand something, and turned his head stiffly to look at Granny Nail, who looked desperate.
A trace of regret flashed in Ivo's eyes: "I'm sorry."
In order to break through the mysterious realm, he insisted on going his own way and took this path. Not only did he harm himself, but he also brought the person he loved most to such a desperate situation.
Granny Nail originally had complaints in her heart, but when he looked at the deep regret in Ivo's eyes and the heartbroken apology. She choked up, her throat was slightly astringent, and she could not speak any more words of complaint.
He couldn't say anything, and his lips trembled: "At least, you succeeded."
Ivo shook his head. He didn't speak anymore, but held Granny Nail's hand. He had never expressed his emotions. This was the first time he held Granny Nail's hand, and it might be the last time.
His eyes were sad, as if he was feeling the warmth from his palms.
final temperature.
Suddenly, Ivo seemed to have made a decision, and his eyes slowly returned to normal from sadness.
Granny Nail looked at Ivo. Although his expression was calm, she could see the stubbornness...and determination beyond his calmness.
Granny Nail suddenly panicked. She didn't know what Ivo was going to do, so she could only subconsciously hold Ivo's hand tightly.
"What are you going to do?" Granny Nail looked at Ivo in panic.
Ivo let go of his hand. She wanted to continue holding it backwards, but was repelled by a powerful mental force. At the same time, a transparent barrier appeared between her and Ivo.
This moment, Nail Granny will never forget.
The biting wind whistled in my ears. The background was a collapsed world, the day was eroded by the darkness, and the invisible whirlpool of space tore apart all things and creatures.
Ivo's white hair was wildly blowing in the hurricane.
His eyes looked towards the huge hole in front of him, and the box of reincarnation that was the source of all this in the center of the hole.
Ivo's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and his hands hidden under the wizard's robe subconsciously clenched his fists because of his inner determination.
Nail Granny kept beating and calling through the transparent barrier.
Her nails shattered when hitting the barrier, and she didn't feel anything.
But no matter how he shouted, Ivo seemed to be unable to hear him and still stared at the Box of Reincarnation quietly.
When she lay on the barrier in despair, tears flowing with blood, Ivo slowly turned her head: "This is not the result I want."
"But now that the facts have reached this point, I will try to change it."
"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore."
His voice had a strange tenderness and tenderness. This was the first time she heard Ivo's gentle voice, but she was not happy at all, because it was so ethereal, unable to reflect dreams or reality.
The next second, Ivo walked step by step towards the dark hole.
Granny Nail wanted to follow, but was blocked by the barrier he set up. She could only watch helplessly as Ivo was swallowed by the endless darkness.
The barrier in front of her completely separated her from Ivo, as if two completely different time and spaces were separated, with one side staying in yesterday and the other facing the future.
The collapse of the world and the collapse of space also means that energy can no longer be calm.
In this case, she couldn't even use planes to escape. Originally, she was ready to die, but Ivo didn't know what he did. When he walked into the dark hollow, the world froze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar and warm energy spurted out from the hole, pushing Granny Nail into the void.
Nail Granny was saved because of this.
But from then on, she never saw Ivo again.
…
At the end of Nail Granny's memories, Angel finally found the missing memory map.
Deep in the memory, a picture pops up
The man wearing a metal gear mask was explaining to Angel what a mysterious thing that was out of control was.
"I actually just happened to come out of a mysterious object that was out of control. This mysterious object is the "Box of Reincarnation of the Undead."" After finishing speaking, he curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "Reincarnation, this name is really good.
It makes me feel very uncomfortable.”
Angel looked at the picture in his memory. This man was Frost, a powerful wizard who called himself the mysterious hunter.
The "Box of Reincarnation of the Dead" that Frost once mentioned to Angel is the "thread" of a string of crystal "pearls" in the space of thoughts, which is also the core connecting all memory fragments.
When Angel substituted Frost's words into this series of deeds, he finally connected all these things.
Angel didn't know if what he saw was the truth.
Maybe it's just an unreliable guess on his part.
But based on the facts behind this speculation, most of Angel's current doubts can be answered to a relatively decent answer.
The basis of this speculation is that
The Box of Reincarnation refined by Ivo may be equivalent to what Frost calls the "Box of Reincarnation of the Undead."
