Chapter 945 -570 It’s Time to End
Golden Coconut Inn,
The Gur Festival is really here!
Lis felt a sense of relief in his heart; it’s good that there were no further complications.
Although it was already certain that Jue was the most special existence in this illusion, the key to breaking through the seven-day cycle was most likely on her.
But until the last moment, no one could be sure.
However, it now seems that everything is proceeding smoothly.
This saves Lis a lot of time.
After seeing Jue and confirming it was already the second day, Lis had already set off from the inn to have a good look at the Gur Festival.
What exactly was happening at the Gur Festival, hidden away by that Ihelos, and what was its relation to that Blood Tower?
Although Lis had some guesses, he was not sure.
Just as the three were preparing to go out, a figure appeared at the door of the inn.
Upon seeing this figure, Jue was instantly stunned.
Standing before the three of them was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a grey robe, its hem fluttering gently in the wind, yet it didn’t mask his rather casual demeanor.
His brown hair was slightly disheveled, with strands falling rebelliously over his forehead; it seemed it hadn’t been carefully groomed for a long time, yet it added a touch of a weathered feel.
The young man’s face was delicate, his skin slightly pale, and appearing a bit haggard, as if caused by long absence from sunlight or overexertion.
Despite the fatigue in his eyes, they remained deep and bright, as if hiding countless unspoken thoughts and sorrows.
Upon seeing the young man, Lis grabbed Taya’s hand, taking a slight step back, vigilantly watching the young man before them.
Taya was also full of caution; she realized the young man before her imparted an extremely dangerous feeling.
It was similar to facing those under the Legendary Crown before.
Unlike Lis and Taya, when Jue saw the young man, her eyes widened, full of disbelief.
“Kazeri, you’ve finally come back!”
Jue rubbed her eyes, a look of delight on her face, as she dashed forward, arriving beside the young man, scrutinizing his body up and down.
“Kazeri, have you been injured while you were out for so long?”
“You haven’t changed a bit; now I’m almost as tall as you are!”
“Where have you been all this while…”
Jue couldn’t stop talking while her hands meticulously checked the young man’s body for any injuries.
The young man named Kazeri opened his mouth, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing, just standing there quietly while being fussed over by Jue.
However, his gaze towards Jue was extremely tender, as if in his eyes, the whole world only contained Jue.
Lis and Taya stood quietly aside, watching without interrupting.
Lis’s gaze remained on the young man, but his heart felt a slight emotion.
So this is the Legendary Undead Mage, Kazeri Iheles?
At first sight of the young man, Lis had recognized him, even without Jue’s reminder.
Because the young man before him bore many resemblances to the emaciated figure seated atop the Blood Tower throne.
What’s more, after confirming the breakthrough of the seven-day cycle, Lis’s vigilance had heightened to the maximum.
After all, it was the first step forward for this small town, stuck in time, in an unknown duration.
Anything could happen, and Lis had to be ready.
Lis had even contemplated being hunted by the Undead Calamity and was prepared with escape routes, but he hadn’t expected this younger version of Iheles to appear before the three of them.
No!
It should be appearing before Jue!
Is this the change brought by breaking through the seven-day cycle?
Lis stood cautiously at the side, unmoving, quietly waiting for the other’s next action.
“…Jue, I am back.”
After an unknown period, Kazeri looked at Jue and solemnly uttered this sentence, his tone a bit hoarse.
Jue looked at Kazeri and said with a smile:
“I know, welcome back, Kazeri!”
“I’ve been waiting for you all this time!”
“Hmm!”
Kazeri nodded vigorously, embracing Jue tightly as if to merge her into his body.
Jue, a bit embarrassed, patted Kazeri as if wanting to say something, but her red lips were blocked by Kazeri’s kiss.
“Mmm…”
Lis hesitated slightly, suddenly feeling if it was time to give some space.
This Legendary Crown was engaging in a tender reunion with his long-lost lover, making Lis and Taya feel a bit out of place.
However, the Legendary Undead Mage Iheles before them seemed to possess more emotions compared to the one in the Blood Tower.
Or rather, more like someone with a rich emotional world instead of a cold machine.
“…Alright!”
A moment later, Jue freed herself from Kazeri’s embrace, her cheeks flushed, as she patted Kazeri’s arm, chidingly saying:
“There are still others watching!”
“I know.”
Kazeri looked at Jue with eyes full of affection, seeming never to get enough.
“Kazeri, let me introduce you.”
Jue recalled Lis and Taya still standing aside, her face flushed slightly as she hastily introduced Kazeri:
“This is Mr. Lis, who has been taking good care of me.”
“And this is my good friend Taya, today we arranged to visit the Gur Festival together.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lis, Miss Taya.”
Kazeri extended his right hand to Lis, with a faint smile on his face.
“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Under the Crown Iheles.”
