Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"Yes, King." After saying that, Qilin slowly left the Great Cleansing Monument. The white fox walked towards Xiyao, returned the Eternal Night and the Broken Ark to him, and then left in a hurry.

Charles then passed by Xiyao and entered the palace. Xiyao first placed the two weapons into the void space, and then turned to enter the palace, but he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the prism standing in front of the Great Cleansing Monument.

"..." After a moment's silence, Xi Yao shook his head and then walked into the palace.

Inside the palace, Charles sat dignifiedly on the throne, his pair of blue pupils staring at Xi Yao in front of the throne, as if trying to find something from Xi Yao.

Xiyao responded to Charles with a sharp look. Then, the atmosphere fell into silence...

After several dozen seconds, Charles suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so serious. We are not discussing the matter of the Red Army."

Hearing this, Xiyao's sharp eyes were instantly replaced by confusion: "Then why did you come to me?"

Charles laughed loudly, stood up from the throne and walked in front of Xi Yao.

Charles said, "Mayor of Dongfang Town, I'll get straight to the point: I want to ask you, did you kill the Wall of Flesh and Blood?"

Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Xi Yao's eyes.

Seeing that Xiyao did not answer for a long time, Charles spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's avoid this question for now. Let me ask you, are you related to the human form of the Wall of Flesh and Blood? Or have you come into contact with it?"

"Yeah." Xi Yao answered Charles very briefly.

"Okay, next question, what is your relationship with the Wall of Flesh?"

"...He is my guide." After a moment's silence, Xi Yao replied.

"Guide? Hiss... Then tell me the pseudonym of the Wall of Flesh and Blood." Having said that, Charles sat back on the throne.

"Andrew." Xi Yao replied.

"Andrew... huh? Why does it sound so familiar... wait!?" Charles said, suddenly stood up, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Half a year ago, I finally had some free time to relax in the public forest. The guide Andrew and I had agreed to meet there. But when I was halfway through the drive, the international travel company called me and said that the guide named Andrew had broken his promise! He even resigned! Shit! Fuck!"

After saying this, Charles kicked the throne angrily. However, the pain from his toes hitting the hard throne instantly sobered him up.

“Wait, wait, you said… the guide Andrew who broke my appointment was the Wall of Flesh and Blood???”

Xi Yao sighed, and then said: "Yes... Come to think of it. The reason why he broke his promise to you was actually because of me..."

“……” Charles’s full attention was focused on the first two words, and then he remained silent, unable to speak.

After a long time, Charles held his forehead and sighed: "Okay, I won't argue about this issue about the Wall of Flesh and Blood. Answer me, did you kill the Wall of Flesh and Blood?"

"It's me... To be honest, if I had known that becoming stronger would be like this, I wouldn't have done this..." After two seconds of silence, Xi Yao spoke slowly.

"Interesting, really interesting... By the way, Mayor of Dongfang Town, would you like to reconsider it?" Charles said, looking at Xi Yao with anticipation.

"What are you considering?" Xi Yao asked, scratching his head.

"Just join Inastan. Everything I said before will take effect."

"Uh... ahem... no thanks, you should give it to someone who needs it. I prefer freedom to joining you guys."

Hearing this, Charles sighed a little disappointedly: "Okay, you can go... As for that Red Army... To put it bluntly, I will just let a dog go." After that, Charles sat on the throne.

"...Then, see you later." Xi Yao said, then turned and walked out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Xi Yao went looking for the prism. However, after searching everywhere, apart from a large group of royal guards, he couldn't find even the shadow of the prism.

"Could it still be there?" Xi Yao suddenly thought of something, and then he quickly walked towards the Great Cleansing Monument.

Inside the palace——

Charles leaned lazily on the throne, supporting his forehead with his fingers crossed. Looking at his complicated expression, he seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long silence, Charles sighed, took out his communicator, and called the Inastan Kingdom's department in the Terra Federation. Then he said a few words.

"..."

After listening, the representative on the other end of the phone asked in a confused tone: "Your Majesty, are you sure?"

"Are you hearing poorly or are you slow to react? I will not and cannot take back what I have said." Charles hung up the communicator, then slowly stood up, took out his pure gold pocket watch and took a look: 3:11 p.m.

"Well... it's time for afternoon tea... Today has passed so quickly, it's time to go have tea with Li'er... It just so happens that I will be passing by the Great Cleansing Monument, so I should fulfill my promise and forgive that Red Army soldier." After saying that, Charles slowly stood up and walked out of the palace gate.

……

Xi Yao walked along the white stone bricks, and after walking for a distance, he saw the Great Cleansing Monument. The broken sword-shaped monument and the flames burning on it were very conspicuous.

However, Xiyao saw a man kneeling in front of the Great Cleansing Monument.

Of course that person is Prism

Xi Yao did not go over to disturb her, but just stood not far away and watched everything quietly, even breathing carefully.

...A minute passed and Prism still didn't stand up. Xi Yao also stood there quietly for a minute.

... Soon, five minutes passed, and the prism still did not move. Xi Yao frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, so he walked quickly towards the prism.

After arriving next to Prism, Xi Yao stopped and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Prism, it's time for us to go..."

However, Prism did not move at all, still kneeling on the ground with dull eyes.

"...Are you okay?" Xi Yao asked after a few seconds of silence again.

This time Prism moved, but only shook his head slightly.

Then Xiyao sighed, "Okay, we should go. There's still enough time to go to the Sacred Cave."

However, Prism still did not stand up, but closed his eyes instead.

Seeing this, Xi Yao frowned and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice:

"Why? You don't want to get up?"
