After returning to his residence with Pias, Celine greeted him as soon as he opened the door.

On the way, Link had already explained the situation to her through telepathy, so Celine had already put away the big guns and changed into a home dress. She was still on the round table in the living room Put some fruits and drinks to entertain the guests.

"Welcome, Mr. Pias." She smiled as an invitation.

Pias knew Celine's identity, and knew that this woman was far from being as simple as she appeared on the surface. Just now, he had been feeling a strong premonition of danger, and guessed it was because of her.

Smiling cautiously, Pias followed Link into the living room.

Link's residence is a very spacious villa, which was specially built for him by the red dragon magicians. The living room is spacious and bright, with a thick and simple round table in the middle.

Link sat down at the round table and extended his hand to invite: "Sit down."

After Pias sat down, Nana sat casually beside him, seemingly relaxed, but her hand was still lightly resting on the hilt of the sword. Celine sat next to Link, looking at the blue-skinned weirdo with interest.

Link stopped talking nonsense, stretched out his hand lightly, and a cup of steaming hot mango drink on the table slid silently towards Pias: "Tell me about your origin, Pias."

Pias took the drink, took a sip, and then he calmed down, with a look of reminiscence on his face. After half a minute of silence, he said: "I come from a plane called 'Omir' , that plane is actually not that far away from Ferroman, there are only a few barren planes in between. In Omir, for some reason, I was regarded as a traitor by my tribe, and they wanted to execute me. At the last moment , one of my students sneaked into the prison and released me secretly. I escaped from Omir on a void boat I secretly built. At the last moment of escaping from the plane, I saw my student being captured by them , I can still hear his desperate screams in my ears... Alas~"

With a long sigh, Pias took a big sip of the drink, "Googling" like drinking, he drank the drink in one gulp, and Link brought him another glass.

Pias continued: "After escaping from Omir, I was like a homeless stray dog, running around in the endless void. My people never let me go, and they were still chasing after me , I had to wander around. Time does not pass in the endless void, and I don’t know how long I have been wandering, until a year ago, I accidentally wandered to Ferromen.”

Having said that, he looked at Link and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I just wanted to stay here for a while to replenish some energy for my void boat, and then continue to set off, but I was attracted by this world, It is so similar to Omir, the first time I saw it, I thought I had returned to my hometown. The mountains, trees, grass, and water all gave me a wonderful sense of familiarity. So I left I'm going to stay here for a few years before leaving."

He took another sip of mango juice. Now, he tasted it carefully, and after taking a sip, he said to Link with a smile: "My hometown has a drink with a similar taste to this, called 'Aohua Fruit Wine'. I hate drinking this kind of fruit wine, and I don’t drink it unless it’s a formal social occasion. But now, hey, I think it’s delicious.”

Taking another sip of his drink, he said to Link, "Lord, my story is not exciting. I hide and escape all the way, just like a mouse. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will try my best to answer you."

The story of Pias is very simple, just one sentence, the fugitive escaped the pursuers.

But things were obviously not that simple. Link knocked on the table and asked, "How many worlds have you experienced along the way?"

"Not too many, just three. The first three are barren planes, and one of them is barely inhabitable. I stayed there for about half a year before leaving."

Link asked again: "You said that your family members in the Omir plane have been chasing and killing you, so you have to wander all the time. However, the time you escape should not be too short, and the distance is not too short. They Is the price a bit high for chasing you all the way in the sea of void?"

The price paid for arresting a person is absolutely impossible to exceed the benefits brought by killing this person. If the Omir people are really chasing after him, it can only show that Pias's identity is not simple. On the face of it, he should be a figure standing at the pinnacle.

Hearing this question, Pias was silent. He held the crystal cup in his hands with some unease. After a while, he said, "Omir has a very developed plane-traveling technology. When I left, This technology is only a little worse than my void boat. I have been wandering these years, and I have been improving my void boat, but Omir is also developing rapidly, and his achievements should not be less than mine... Of course, even so , The cost of traveling between planes is still very high, and it does require a huge price. The reason why they are so relentless in their pursuit is because... because... Lord, if I want to clarify this issue, I must introduce Omir's situation in detail. "

"Tell me." Link listened carefully.

Pias's eyes showed the color of memory: "My hometown was originally very peaceful and peaceful. Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. The land was fertile and the products were rich. The whole world was filled with pure magic energy, just like Ferroman. But with Ferroman The difference is that we have not developed all kinds of magic with great destructive power, we mainly pursue the cultivation of the soul. People who have achieved something in soul magic are called soul walkers."

"Soul Walker? Sounds very novel."

Pias nodded: "Among these soul walkers, there are some people who have achieved so much that everyone admires or even worships them, they will be called soul mentors. When I was in Omir, there were a total of three soul walkers in the whole world. Soul mentors, and I am one of them."

"Oh~~" Link was a little stunned: "In other words, you used to be one of the three leaders of the Omir people."

"It's not considered a leader... You can say that, if I do something, many people will follow me." Pias nodded.

Celine on the side couldn't help being curious, and asked: "I want to know, what did you do to be regarded as a traitor, and to keep chasing you?"

"I..." Pias showed a look of pain on his face. He clenched his hands into fists, loosened them, and clenched them again. Obviously, Celine's words hit a sore spot in his heart.

Link said: "If you find it difficult to speak, you can write it on paper. I know this question is a bit presumptuous, but we must find out what happened, because there are pursuers behind you. You said before, these pursuers are very serious. Dangerous, once your position is exposed, not only will you suffer, I am afraid Ferroman will not be much better."

'Alas~~' Pias sighed: "You are right, lord, I may indeed bring disaster to Ferroman. My tribe is no longer the peaceful and generous tribe in the past, they are now Dark puppet, and it's all my fault!"

After finishing speaking, Pias drank the second cup of drink, which seemed to be a way to drown his sorrows. Then he seemed to think about it and said: "The most important lesson in the cultivation of the soul is meditation. As a soul Teacher, every night, I use meditation instead of sleeping. In meditation, our soul will be free, the eyes of the soul will be opened, and we will be able to travel freely in the sea of void. Well, although it is free, it is a It is a very dangerous move, because the sea of void is endless, if you go too far, your soul will get lost. The soul commandments strictly forbid overexploration of the sea of void, and I made such a mistake. During the journey of the soul, I came into contact with a A very powerful existence, his name is Nosamas... "

"Nosamas?" Link was taken aback, and Celine also showed surprise on her face. Obviously, she didn't expect to hear her father's name from a traveler from another dimension.

Pias smiled bitterly: "You are right, it is the abyss lord Nosamas, but I didn't know his identity at that time, and the things that the eyes of the soul can see are very limited. During meditation, what I saw Nosamas is a very elegant gentleman, his voice is very beautiful and mellow, his speech is very organized and logical, many opinions coincide with mine, so we became friends."

Speaking of this, the magic lines on his blue face were twisted together, his teeth were clenched, and the hand holding the crystal cup was trembling slightly.

"I..." He spoke again, and as soon as he said a word, Pias's voice showed a choked sound. He coughed lightly to ease his emotions, and he continued: "I didn't expect that my This act brought great disaster to my people, I was deceived by him, I brought him into my world with my own hands, and then the disaster began... When I escaped, half of the whole Omir had fallen into Nosama Si's control."

Hearing this, Link and Celine looked at each other, and Celine murmured, "My father... is that demon's camouflage really so good?"

Link, however, recalled the first time he saw Nosamas in the game.

The first time he saw Nosamas was on the Plague Plains outside the Demon Fortress, when the Allies were forced to fight the Dark Legion, and Nosamas appeared at that time.

At that time, no one thought that Nosamas would have such an image. He had black hair, a black robe, and a handsome face. He even seemed to have a little sunshine, and his voice was very soft and round. If he hadn't stood in the dark army , and all the demons obeyed his orders, no one would have imagined that this would be such a terrifying big demon.

It was only later that Link realized that this was Nosamas' disguise, and it was only when the fight really started that Nosamas showed his true colors.

All in all, if this guy Nosamas intends to deceive someone, it is absolutely easy and effortless. It is not surprising that Pias was deceived by him.

Hearing this, he looked at Pias and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"
