"O god, long asleep, your ancient heart is pumping blood. The bird symbolizing [Faith] is shackled and cannot escape. May you awaken from this nightmare."

Gabriel's words made Ye Xi inadvertently recall what the mysterious man said to him that day.

The flying bird that symbolizes [faith] is undoubtedly the loli angel in front of him.

There was no sadness on her face, and Ye Xi had no idea what level of hurt she was going through that made her flatter him and ask for help.

The dark golden eyes formed an indescribable contrast with her smile, which was a dazed and miserable smile.

Of course, Ye Xi could ruthlessly reject Gabriel's request for help because the information gap was too huge, and the next level up for angels is to exist side by side with gods.

She didn't think any difficulties could get to her.

"I......"

Ye Xi wanted to say something but stopped herself. She didn't know when she found it difficult to even say a polite refusal, probably because of Charles' influence.

And he had come into contact with the priests several times, and deep down in his heart he had already started to feel warmer, and everything was changing in another direction.

Gabriel seemed to have guessed what Ye Xi would say next, so he slowly put his hand down.

"That's right. How can I not give up and strive for forgiveness?"

"I have also conveyed the same words in detail to that beautiful elf lady."

"She is truly a considerate spirit. If I can restore her to her former self, I will, in the name of [Faith], remain faithful to her throughout her life."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi immediately raised her head and looked into Gabriel's eyes.

The meaning of these words was very clear. Gabriel was conveying the same words to her ears. Ye Xi immediately understood how Charles would respond to her.

"You mean, she agreed?"

Gabriel just closed his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

Ye Xi frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and immediately stretched out his right hand to grab Gabriel's right hand.

But the result was unexpectedly empty-handed. Gabriel's figure gradually became transparent and no longer had any substance.

"From the beginning, I didn't have a real physical body. The one standing here talking to you is just a temporary image."

"If you understand, please go to the ruins in the eastern part of the city-state. Before we meet, the sky and land of the Rhineland will open a path for you."

"Under my will, everything is pacified wherever I go. Nothing can stop you."

"Each one takes what he needs, each one seeks what he has. When we meet, please listen to my prayers in silence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel slowly closed his eyes again, and his body gradually became disorganized, just like the fireflies in summer, which were brilliant and then dim and sad.

After Gabriel dissipated, space began to distort until it completely collapsed and everything returned to its original state.

Ye Xi didn't know what he had experienced. Everything in front of his eyes was dark, and a familiar voice kept calling his name in the darkness.

From rustling to clarity, consciousness gradually returned.

"Yexi, Yexi, Yexi!"

"Ah, you finally woke up, let me help you up!"

Ye Xi slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Xia Er's beautiful face.

When he saw that he woke up, he immediately helped him up and smiled with relief.

"How are you? Are you still dizzy? Are you hurt?"

"Really? How can you just run around like that?"

"I just watched Mr. Brest and Lucaon complete their contract, and in the blink of an eye, you disappeared."

"what?!"

Ye Xi was startled and immediately realized something.

"contract?!"

“What happened before actually happened…”

"what are you talking about?"

Charles was puzzled by Ye Xi's violent reaction, and looked at the serious little face with a question mark on his face.

Ye Xi gradually understood that what Charles had said before was indeed true, the contract with Brest was also true, and people cheering for Lucaon was also true!

But the only "Charles" was fake, disguised as Charles, with his eyes deliberately used as a flaw.

The reason why he was fooled was that Ye Xi was completely isolated from the crowd at that time, leaning against a tree not far away and watching everything alone.

Until the moment Charles stepped forward and spoke, he happened to have his back to him.

After the contract was established, Gabriel caught Charles's flaw when he turned back into the crowd.

"Fuck, I got tricked."

"What trick did you take?" Charles asked, his face close to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was silent for a moment. This feeling was simply too real.

"Nothing, I'm just sighing that your emotional intelligence is getting higher and higher."

"Where did you get that kind of talk?"

“After listening to it, even I couldn’t help but admire it.”

Ciel hummed softly and smiled again, rubbing his head.

"This, I gradually compiled through repeated experience."

"As the saying goes, when in Rome, it's the Romans. Speaking of [Faith], it might lead to being treated differently, but that's also a good thing, isn't it?"

Ye Xi nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then without any intention of hiding anything, told Xia Er what he had just experienced.

"is this real?"

"Ye Xi, that angel actually came to see you in person?!"

Charles's reaction was surprising, but he subconsciously smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Haha~ As soon as Lord Gabriel mentioned me, you became restless. It seems that we are really kindred spirits."

At first, Ye Xi really thought that Gabriel was also meeting Charles in the same space and was telling him the same story as before.

Who knew that this was just a trick? It is true that there are always people better than you, and the characteristics of magic are so unpredictable.

Then the next direction gradually became clear. The matter of Lingxi Mountain came to an end. Before leaving, it was time to settle the previous "debts".

Ye Xi and Xiaer went straight to Brest's tree house. When they arrived at the door, they knocked politely, instead of using the unique way of opening the door like last time.

"coming!"

"Really? I've been busy for a while, can't I just take a break?"

Brest, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, walked to the door while rubbing his hair and complaining.

There was also a green hollow stripe mark engraved on the back of the hand, but it looked a little dim, indicating that Lucaon was not nearby at the moment.

If the sigil glows more intensely, it means Lucaon is nearby.

But when he opened the door, what greeted him was a wet tentacle, sticking right in front of him, as if there was a pair of eyes looking into his eyes.

"What is this!"

Brest was stunned for a moment, and before he could recover, the tentacles were instantly stuffed into his mouth, blocking his voice.

Then the remaining tentacles flowed down from the eaves above the door and wrapped around his limbs and torso.

Ye Xi was hanging upside down. This horrifying scene gave people the feeling of seeing a hanged ghost, which made Brest break out in cold sweat and tremble.

"I said, I have to pay it back. It's time to settle that matter."

"So are you ready?"
