In the eyes of the fireproof girl, Ash's soul began to fall into darkness. The humanity of the abyss enveloped Ash, and the images in his memory filled Ash's entire soul.
Although others don't have the fireproof girl's ability to look directly into the soul, they feel the aura emanating from Ash's body and can't help but stay away.
Some timid guys slowly lowered the frequency of pulling the trigger, fearing that they might do something wrong and offend the boss.
Leslie received another batch of requests from people to sell their properties.
Ash, who kept away from strangers, came to the tower. This was originally a place where the fire girls could relax. In the past, Ash would accompany the fire girls to rest here.
But the tower at this moment belongs to Ash, and the considerate fire prevention girl blocks anyone who tries to get close, including Cassel and Stark, who are a little worried about Ash.
Ash looked into the distance, following his line of sight, it was NY that everyone could see. But in Ash's eyes, opposite was the ashes cemetery of the Black Soul World, the high wall of Lothric, and the Cold Valley.
of Irithyr...
The day soon passed and night fell. After staying on the tower for a whole day, Ash still had no intention of coming down.
Ash kept looking into the distance and vaguely heard the muffled conversation coming from below the tower.
"Casel, I have to step on you to get up, not you push me up..."
"Damn it, Stark, can't you keep your voice down? That crazy woman with a lightsaber is patrolling down there."
Looking down from the tower, I saw Cassel half-crouching on the lookout above the gate of the sacrificial site, letting Stark step on his shoulders and climb up to the roof of the sacrificial site.
Then, Stark lay on the eaves and stretched out his hands to pull Cassel up.
However, because of Cassel's weight, Stark couldn't help but lamented and said: "Casel, you have to lose weight, you must lose weight, I can't pull you at all!"
One hand grabbed Stark's arm, and the other hand pulled on the eaves. Cassell jumped into the air with his feet, constantly fluttering, trying to step on the air to get to the roof.
Finally, after a lot of effort, the two of them finally climbed to the roof that was within easy reach.
After lying on the edge of the roof, panting and resting for a while, the two of them tiptoed to leave. They had just taken a few steps when a series of rapid crow calls appeared beside them.
"Casel, what did you encounter? Are there any birds here?"
Immediately blaming Cassel, Stark looked for the origin of the surrounding sounds. Following the sound, he saw only an empty bird's nest with feathers scattered around, without any birds present.
However, the sound of the crow still existed. Even after hearing the sound, Iris, who was holding a blue orb dagger, had already walked towards the direction of the two of them.
"I don't have time for you to look for me. Let's go quickly."
Having vaguely seen the light emitting from the crystallized blade of the blue orb dagger, Cassel grabbed Stark and ran towards the tower corridor without looking back.
The target was the gap in the broken corridor and the broken stone pillar. The two tried to jump on the stone pillar and then climb up the corridor.
However, the two of them obviously overestimated their abilities. It was difficult for them to simply climb the eaves, and they opened their mouths wide at the stone pillar in front of them that was almost two people tall.
"Stark, is this the distance you can climb by visual measurement? Are you not a scientist? Do you make this kind of mistake?"
It was obvious that the two men could not climb the stone pillar, and the plan failed in the end.
Stark defended and said: "It's so dark, how can I see clearly?"
Just when the two were about to continue arguing and figure out whose problem it was, Iris' patrol was almost here.
The two of them immediately closed their mouths and looked for a place to hide.
But on the roof of the empty sacrificial site, the only way is to walk along the gap in front to the inside of the sacrificial site.
But after hearing the crows from the bird's nest, Iris was walking this way along the same road.
Just when the two of them were running around anxiously, Ash opened the iron door of the tower, waved to the two of them and said, "What are you doing?"
The moment he saw Ash, Cassel replied: "Well, we wanted to have a drink with you and were thinking about how to get up. Now we are thinking about how to get down."
Ash pointed to the ladder in front of him and looked at the two helplessly.
"Damn it, Stark blames you for your plan to climb up the stone pillar. The ladder was right next to it and he didn't even know it."
"Why do you blame me? It's because you didn't scout the environment well in advance..."
Even though they were quarreling with each other, Stark and Cassel still walked down the ladder and descended from the sacrificial site.
In order to avoid being discovered by Iris, the two quickly rushed in through the iron door of the tower and went up the spiral staircase.
When Ash was about to close the iron door, he sensed that Iris was also moving away from here.
Returning to the tower again, Stark and Cassell looked at the scenery of NY like Ash during the day.
However, there was no usual brightly lit night scene, only occasional explosions and flames burning in the darkness.
Hearing Ash's footsteps, Stark and Cassel turned around. Stark nudged Cassel with his elbow and said, "Cassell, where is the wine you brought?"
"Wine...oh...the wine is down there."
It turned out that the two of them wanted to drink with Ash, but it was obvious that there was no bottle on them, so Cassel made up an excuse and said.
Seeing the two men's anxious looks, Ash couldn't help but laugh.
It was obvious that they were worried about Ash, so the two of them, as friends, made an appointment to come out of the sacrificial site to see Ash to see if there was any way for Ash to resolve the issue.
"It doesn't matter, I have it here."
Ash took out the stored onion wine and handed a bucket to Cassel and Stark respectively.
"If you have any questions, you can talk to me. Maybe I can help you. I'm Stark, the omnipotent Stark."
Taking a sip of wine, Stark pretended to be as usual, asking Ash frivolously and casually.
"It's nothing, it's just that a relative of my past has been delayed until now to be buried, and it's hard to relieve my mood for a while."
"Ouch~"
Hearing this, Stark couldn't help but sigh. However, Ash's next words left Stark at a loss as to what to say.
"Because of my mission and destiny, I once cut off her hope and let her pass away silently in a lonely and dark corner. Today I received news about her again, and I realized how much I had missed."
Ash's words revealed loneliness and sadness, and the hand holding the barrel did not move at all, but under the starlight in the darkness, both Cassel and Stark saw the tears on Ash's face.
"Once a mistake has happened, it can't be changed. I miss my father too. Even after I finished arguing with him on the day he left, I often think about how much better it would have been if that day had not happened."
In the darkness, Stark also expressed his sadness.
