"If I were you, I wouldn't ask such a question." The man didn't seem to want to explain his origins. Faced with the question raised by Artoris, he just glared at her with hostility.
The man had long red hair hanging loosely, and his body looked particularly majestic and domineering in his bright red flaming battle robe. Combined with the man's appearance, a figure gradually emerged from Artolis's mind.
"Fu Dou?" She was suspicious of the man's identity, and when she faced the other man's gaze, Artoris's expression suddenly became alert.
Perhaps he acquiesced to Atoris's guess, or perhaps he didn't want to delve further into this topic. The man snorted coldly and looked away from Artoris.
"Originally, I simply wanted to drag you damn guy into hell, but now it seems that guy has other plans." The man said to himself, then turned to look at the sound of the piano. of that room.
"What do you mean?" Artoris asked, still unable to move, looking at the man's back.
Artoris's memory returned to the time not long ago. Since Fu Dou appeared in front of her, then the Flame Lock that was stripped from the sea of blood at that time was most likely the masterpiece of this guy. What was the purpose of dragging her into this strange space at this time? If he just wanted to bury her with him, there was no need to go to such unnecessary lengths.
"You think I don't want you to die? To me, your life has no more value than those guys. Everything that is shown in front of you and me now is thanks to that guy." The man said, His expression became serious.
"Hellos Sean?" Artolis was surprised by every word the man said: "You want to say that the entire area we are in is his consciousness space?!"
Without choosing to answer Artolis's question, the man said to himself without looking back: "This space of consciousness has no concept of time. Otherwise, judging from the situation outside, there would be no chance for you and me to talk."
"A thought may last forever, or it may last only a moment. Since Helos has no intention of erasing you immediately, it is meaningless even if you and I continue to fight here."
Noticing that the man had put down his hostility towards her, and after carefully considering what he said, Artolis also gradually relaxed her vigilance. As he said, if this is really Helos' consciousness space, then it should be easy for Helos to erase Artoris from here. And since the other party didn't do this, then it's his reason.
Thinking of this, Artolis couldn't help but follow the man's gaze, just because while they were talking, the sound of the piano in the room stopped...
When the boy who was drying clothes in the yard heard the music of the piano stopped, he immediately put down his work of drying clothes and hurried into the house.
Just feeling a flicker in front of her eyes, Artolis noticed the changes in the surrounding environment, and the scene in front of her followed the boy into the house. The house was not as gorgeous as Artoris had imagined. There was only a wooden bed that could not be called strong in the empty room. In the center of the room, a young, beautiful but thin demon spirit woman was sitting on her knees.
Seeing such a desolate scene, Atoris frowned slightly, and just watched the boy step forward, carefully lifting the woman's frail body.
"Mother, you haven't rested for three days. When the city lord comes tomorrow and sees you in this state, he will definitely blame you." Looking at the woman's absent-minded look, the boy's eyes were full of worry.
"The strings can be played again if they are broken, but what about the people who have left? Can they come back again?" Holding the worn-out guqin, the woman raised her head and gazed at the tearless boy in front of her with her lifeless eyes.
"My child, you will lose more in the future, but the last name Hutt must not be forgotten. Do you understand?"
"This is the beginning of tragedy, the story about the man named Helos." Looking at such a scene, Fu Dou couldn't help but sigh.
"In the year 1727 of the Bymon Calendar, the army led by the city's garrison general Scared Silawa was defeated, announcing the end of the first plane war of demon spirits. And Bruce Hurt was the one who was defeated. The soldiers who were forcibly recruited also lost their lives in that battle, leaving behind his wife Shahua and son Helos."
As if he was talking to Artoris, or talking to himself, Kodou held his arms in front of his chest and spoke like a human, with no intention of stopping.
"Mother and son depended on each other and lived in an abandoned mansion. The longing for her late husband made Shahua lose weight day by day. She was mentally unstable and played the piano every day, looking forward to her husband's return. In this way, the burden of life was reduced. It all fell on Helos, a boy who was less than ten years old. In this way, he managed to survive in troubled times until the arrival of that man two years later..."
Like the Phantom World, the Demon World also has extremely high civilizations: the five kingdoms of Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, Taotie, and Leviathan named after ferocious beasts, and seventy-two kingdoms named after the Demon God Pillar. city.
Torque Sabo, the lord of Andumari City who lives next to Agares, fell in love with the genius of Heiros Het who happened to be passing by when he came here for a tour, so he wanted to treat Helos as his His adopted son took in the mother and daughter.
This was the reason for the scene the two of them saw just now. The young man in front of them looked very different from the bloodthirsty maniac he is today. Artoris has also experienced the pain of being separated from her loved ones, but she believes that this alone cannot be the reason for Helos' collapse. At least after the city lord accepted him, things seemed to be getting better.
Artoris was just thinking about it when suddenly a flashback appeared in her mind. The surrounding scene was changing, and finally stopped in a vibrant, festive and peaceful courtyard. And the scene that appeared in Artolis's mind also overlapped with the scene in front of her for a moment.
At that moment here, Artoris saw the fire. Although it was only for a short moment, the oppression really made her feel the difficulty of breathing.
There is still a lively courtyard in front of you, which is in sharp contrast to the previous sparse courtyard. This is the City Lord's Mansion.
Artoris watched Fu Dou push away the crowd, then lowered his head and stared at the boy surrounded by people.
"After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, everyone's enthusiasm and care brought new hope to Helos. Similarly, during this period, his mother Shahua's physical and mental condition gradually improved. And in return, he, who is talented and intelligent, He does his best in everything he does, so among all Tork’s adopted sons, Helos is also the one whom Tork values the most.”
"So, what finally made him collapse was the moment when beautiful things were destroyed in front of his eyes." Taking a deep breath, Artolis suddenly interrupted Fu Dou's words.
Hearing Artoris's words, Fu Dou hesitated for a moment, and then showed a half-smiling expression: "Of course, and you and I both understand where the culprit comes from!"
