'What do we do? Can Edwin come to see me?'
My heart was pounding with anxiety and fear. But even for a moment, something popped up in between.
'No, even without Tarios, Edwin will come to find me somehow.'
'Cause you said you'd protect me
He is a person who always keeps his promises, so he will definitely come again this time.
My faith in him firmly held me as I was being eroded by fear.
Seeing me becoming more calm, the wizard frowned.
"What are you thinking? There will be no more jewels."
"Gems aren't everything."
"What?"
The wizard contorted his face.
"Do you really have Chiaro's heart?"
His black eyes flashed with madness.
"Kiaro's heart? what is that?"
I said as hard as I could, wondering if my voice might tremble.
"Don't pretend you don't know. There's no way that Jueri doesn't know about Chiaro's heart."
"Was it you, the voice that shook your head at Eslon Lake?"
"Yeah, I searched your memory."
Did you find something in Amber's memory?
He looked at the wizard carefully, but he couldn't read anything from the thought-provoking face.
My mouth was dry from tension.
"Looks like you got nothing from me. So you're going to ask me again."
I was nervous, so I first thought of a wizard.
"Yeah, nothing came out."
The wizard frowned and frowned.
'thank God.'
My heart was throbbing, and I breathed a sigh of relief without the wizard's knowledge.
At the time, I didn't know about Chiaro's heart, so the wizard wouldn't be able to figure it out.
The problem was Amber.
Even if I didn't realize it, I was worried about whether Amber's memories were still there, or whether the wizard had found them.
However, it seems that even with magic, Amber's memory could not be found.
'Or maybe Amber didn't even have memories of Chiaro's heart.'
Anyway, I was happy. But it was too early to be completely reassured.
Because now I know what Kiaro's heart is and where it is.
If the wizard found out about that fact, he could have died.
I struggled to roll my stiff hair.
"He said he was a great wizard. If you couldn't find anything from me, wouldn't I really not know?"
"I can't. It doesn't make sense to say that Jueri doesn't know about Chiaro."
"What the hell is Kiaro that hangs you like that?"
My heart sank for fear that I would be found out, but I tried my best to be brazen.
The wizard, who was staring intently at me as if he was trying to dig into my heart, messed up my hair.
"You really don't know? You really don't know?"
"I have no memory of my childhood. Edwin told me, so I know that I am Jueri."
"memory... ... No?"
For an instant, the wizard put on a blank expression.
"no. I don't even know my name. Edwin gave it to me now."
"Hey, don't lie. Do you think you can deceive me with such an absurd lie?"
"Then why didn't you find anything from me? Is your magic wrong?"
"no! My magic was perfect!"
The wizard groaned.
"Do you know how difficult the magic of finding a particular memory is? If there was a problem with my magic, you would already be an idiot."
Heh, was it such a dangerous magic?
I got goosebumps all over my body thinking I might have turned into an idiot.
"Yeah, the magic was perfect. Even if I lost my memory, I wouldn't recognize it, but it would remain in my head. Why didn't you find it?"
Biting my nails and muttering seemed quite unsettling.
After wandering around frantically for a while, he suddenly stopped and asked if he was thinking of something.
"how old are you?"
"I don't know for sure because I don't remember. I think he was around seventeen or eighteen."
"Then the Emperor must have been a child when he went to Ambria. Then you may not know anything. If it hadn't been brought up by Jueri... ... ."
He was muttering to himself, and suddenly his head popped up.
"How did you escape from Ambria?"
"Because I don't remember."
"At the time, Ambria was completely under siege. Besides, I even put a barrier in place to prevent you from escaping."
Still, I've always wondered how Amber survived.
Ambria was in the middle of the desert, and escaping from there seemed like picking a star in the sky.
'Is there even a barrier? So how did Amber escape?'
Raven's behavior was also strange. As the wizard said, there were no survivors left in the first place.
As you may know, they have been looking for survivors all this time.
Why?
As I was trying to dig out more clues from the wizard, I was taken aback by the next question.
"Where are the other jewels? Where are you hiding?"
He gripped my shoulder so badly that it felt like my bones were going to crumble.
I frowned and shouted.
"I do not know. You said you don't remember!"
"lie. Do not lie!"
"Obviously, you were among those who disappeared that day. Yes?"
What does this mean? I asked without hiding my confusion.
"Weren't all the Jueri killed that day? Are they missing people?"
"Don't take the shichimi. You are one of them."
The eyes staring at me were fierce.
Reflexively, my body shrugged, but I tried to ponder his words as calmly as possible.
If the survivors had simply fled, the expression 'disappeared' would not have been used.
Moreover, didn't he say that he even struck a barrier with magic?
Does that mean that people even evaporated in it?
"Where did our clan disappear to? Was it a lie that the emperor destroyed it?"
"... ... Do you really remember nothing?"
The face of the wizard, who had been running rampant to tell him not to lie, suddenly became serious.
He poked his face out and looked at me intently.
Even though my heart was pounding, I strengthened my eyes and held out his gaze.
It seemed that he would not be questioned about Chiaro's heart any longer.
"You really don't remember?"
The wizard stepped back and muttered while biting his tattered nails.
I let out a breath of relief without the wizard's knowledge.
I'd like you to give up here, but looking at the magician's disposition, it didn't seem like he would give up easily.
'What do we do? Even if I had to release the restraint magic, I would try to escape.'
My chest was stuffy.
"I can't believe what you say. I guess I'll have to check it out myself."
The wizard approached me as if I had finished worrying.
A hand reaching over my head was ominous.
"If you go back to your memory, you will know for sure. This time it's not ranged magic, so it'll be more accurate than last time."
Are you sure you want to use the magic of finding memories again?
'no!'
If this is the case, you will be caught. What do we do? How can I avoid magic?
There are no jewels, and the body is bound. Oh, maybe good.
'Ed, please come quickly.'
He begged and begged earnestly, but Edwin did not appear.
As the wizard's dry hands drew closer to me, fear came over me.
My body trembled as if I remembered the pain I felt last time. But there was nothing I could do.
As I struggled with helplessness, the wizard placed a hand on my head.
Soon after, he began to chant orders.
An intense headache arose along with the sensation of a snake crawling on my skin.
'Oh, no. no way!'
I cried desperately, trying to calm myself down somehow.
That moment.
My chest felt like it was on fire. The heat grew stronger and stronger, and in the end there was a burning pain.
"Ugh."
The headache and chest pain became more and more intense as if they were competing with each other, and at some point the headache went away.
"Huh? Why is this?"
The bewildered voice of the wizard could be heard above his head.
He cast the spell a few more times and tried the spell again, but the same thing happened each time.
Thanks to this, the part with Chiaro's pattern looked like it had been burned.
"No, that's absurd."
The wizard staggered and stepped back.
When he stopped the magic, the chest pain began to subside.
I took a deep breath and lifted my head. His body was drenched in cold sweat, and he had no energy.
As I unconsciously raised my hand and touched my chest due to the lingering pain, I looked down at my hand.
Tickling tickling.
Obviously, my fingers were moving as I applied force.
Slowly, he gave strength to his legs and tried to gather them. also moved
'Oh my gosh. The magic is out.'
What happened? Why did the magic work?
No, now is not the time to question it.
I quickly looked at the wizard. He was still muttering nonsense with a blank face.
'Now is your chance.'
He continued to watch the wizard and moved to the side little by little. But he didn't know where to run.
It was dark enough to not be able to see one inch ahead of the sphere the wizard had floated, and one side was a cliff with no end in sight.
'What do we do? Someone help me.'
As he cried out, Chiaro's pattern lit up and he felt a familiar energy from somewhere.
there wasn't one
Countless innumerable energy pulsed strongly as if responding to my call.
'It is true that metric acid is the root of the vein.'
It was such a strong energy that I wondered if the whole mountain was made of jewels.
'thank God.'
In a desperate situation, the tip of his nose wrinkled at the hope that fell like a rope.
I started moving along the wall again, avoiding the wizard's eyes. Singing Jueri's song.
The wizard, who had been stunned just a moment ago, suddenly lifted his head as if he had sensed something.
"you! What are you doing!"
I started running desperately with my eyes staring at me like I was going to kill me.
At that moment, as if to help me, the cave suddenly lit up.
It was as if the Milky Way stretched along the cave ceiling and walls.
Thanks to you, I was able to run without hesitation.
My legs kept shaking, but I clenched my teeth and ran.
"at there!"
A sharp shout was heard from behind, along with the sound of a spell being chanted.
Desperately running, I had no choice but to stop before long.
The only bridge connected to the other side of the cliff had collapsed.
'Well... ... .'
I stared blankly at the seemingly endless cliff.
When I turned around, black mana was flowing from the wizard.
regression.
The worries didn't last long.
I decided to put my hopes on the strong aura that I felt closest to me.
"Lovernack."
The pattern of Chiaro on his chest heated up and a Phoenix resembling a huge flame appeared.
He was the lord of fire, the spirit of Ruby.
The wizard's eyes widened when he saw Lubernak.
'Didn't you know about the spirits?'
It was an unexpected reaction, but it was also an opportunity for me.
'Rubernak, protect me from that wizard.'
Kirr.
Louvernak, who made a clear cry, flew at high speed, snatched me, and threw me into the air.
"Lovernak!"
I was suddenly thrown into the air with a strong wind, and I was cold.
I closed my eyes tightly at the terrible feeling of falling again.
Why Rubenack? Could the spirits abandon my master?
The moment I had a million thoughts.
tuk.
Something soft touched his back.
'... ... ?'
When I opened my eyes, I saw red and golden feathers.
A small spark was flying, but it didn't do any harm to me. Rather, it felt warm and cozy.
As I slowly got up, I realized that I was riding on Lubernak's back.
"Sigh."
A deep breath of relief escaped.
"Lovernack."
When I sang with resentment, Lubernak chuckled and laughed.
"under! Did Jueri have such an ability?
When I looked down at the voice from below, I saw a wizard who couldn't hide his embarrassment.
Rubenak turned around and stopped at a position looking down at the wizard.
"You, why did Chiaro's energy suddenly become stronger? Is it because you summoned a spirit? Or were you hiding something?"
He was dazzled by the sharp point.
