Lorenzo had seen many monsters and demons along the way, but now facing the pioneer, he had an inexplicable feeling, as if there was a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest and he couldn't spit it out.
The others felt similarly as Lorenzo did. In this gloomy moment, this pioneer who had followed them all the way and lent a helping hand from time to time suddenly jumped out. Judging from his expression and words, he seemed to be the secret keeper that they had been searching for.
"this… "
Lorenzo was about to speak, but in the end he held his words back and tried hard to calm himself down.
This guy who knew the truth about the world just walked over casually, sat by the campfire, and waited for questions from several people.
"You... are the Secret Keeper?"
"Well, to be exact, it was." The Herald replied.
"Ever? What do you mean?"
Lorenzo continued to ask questions, and from the Herald's attitude, he was not going to hide anything and seemed to be able to answer all of Lorenzo's questions.
"We had different philosophies. They chose to stay in the shelter, hiding from the world and being forgotten, while I chose to leave here and have been wandering in the world ever since."
The pioneer did not make any unnecessary movements. After he sat down, he did nothing except making the sound of reply. The campfire made the silver armor appear golden, but it could not illuminate the darkness under the helmet.
The pioneer was silent. He seldom spoke. He basically answered whatever Lorenzo asked and remained silent for the rest of the time.
This is a somewhat strange guy, he is controlling everything as if he is planning something. He makes Lorenzo meet and fight with the plague doctor, but also saves them from danger and stops Leviathan's attack. Until now, he is here to explain all the problems.
The series of actions by the Pioneer made it unclear what his purpose was, and it was difficult for Lorenzo to judge what his position was. But from the information Lorenzo knew, the ultimate leader of the Society of the End was also an old monster who had lived for an unknown amount of time, and his behavior was quite expected.
After all, after living for so long, it is normal to have some mental problems.
The conversation came to a standstill for a moment. Lorenzo had too many questions in his mind, and now that they were all crowded together, he didn't know where to start.
"Is the Keeper still alive?"
Lorenzo asked. Although the Herald "once" was a secret keeper, Lorenzo was still wary of the identity of the Society of the End.
Because of the difference in ideas, the Society of the End was created? The society that pursues absolute death? This is in serious contradiction with the essence of the existence of the Secret Keepers. The Secret Keepers are for continuation, while the Pioneers are for the end.
"Probably. I haven't been back for a long time."
The pioneer thought that his memory was too huge and his memories of the past became bloated.
"I remember Victoria's family came here, probably a few decades ago. At that time, the situation of the Secret Keepers was not very good... probably all of them died, or there might be a few alive."
Strange yet familiar memories came to mind. The pioneer had not been back for so long, and everything seemed like a lifetime ago.
