As if she couldn't hear the question, the old woman muttered something to herself.
"I know that you once led the Shadeian tribe. If you help me, I will restore your extinct tribe."
Hmph, the old man snorted softly.
"Is there a way? Of course, the darkness of the beginning is extremely unpleasant once caught, but that doesn't mean there is no way."
Cesare remains patient. Until the answer he was looking for came out of the old woman's mouth.
"There is nothing more perfect than the Dawn's Droplet to erase what was wrong in the beginning."
Gallo felt like his heart was going to jump out.
There is! There really was a way to save his master!
It seemed like all the hard work of searching the continent for years, relying on a single word from a passing priest, was all for this moment.
Gallo, looking surprisingly different from before, carefully and politely knelt in front of the old woman.
"Dawn's Droplet... What is that, old woman?"
Even though he searched through thousands of old books, it was the first time he had heard of this name.
"When the Goddess first came, this continent was full of chaos and darkness. The merciful God shed tears because he felt sorry for the lives oppressed by darkness, which washed away all the darkness and created the current continent."
Cesare also asked again.
"Where can I find that?"
The old woman turned her head.
"Ahaha. Unfortunately, Black Star. This fall does not exist in your orbit."
"What do you mean, old woman!"
Terence shouted with a frustrated face.
"You. You will never find it. Fate didn't allow it to you."
At that moment, the old man vomited blood.
"Oh my. it's time, haha, already."
Cesare grabbed the shoulder of the falling old woman.
"Terence."
Terence hurriedly looked at the old woman.
However, he was unable to push away the shadow of death that had suddenly fallen over the old woman.
"But there is hope. Venus of Valdina, huh. She will save you...Tenny."
Every time the old woman opened her mouth, blood splashed out and soaked Cesare's front lip.
"Black Star, don't forget, Valdina's... Heo-Eok. Venus..."
"Stop, save your strength."
The light gradually went out from the faded eyes.
With the last of her strength, the old woman raised her arm and pointed to the sky.
"Right. The stars finally come back... We've gathered... This time... Huh, which way will I go?..."
The old woman's body stiffened as she took a final deep breath.
The hand that was pointing to the sky suddenly fell.
"Uh, old woman? What? No, right? Uh?"
Gallo stammered.
"No, you're not dead!"
He rushed over and shook the old woman in Cesare's arms, but her cold body no longer moved.
"Gallo, stop. She's already passed away."
Terence's dissuasion did not reach his devastated ears.
"No, no, you can't do this. How did we find it? You can't go like this!"
The cheerful young man who always laughed at him was nowhere to be found in his cries of loss of reason.
Terence was always annoyed by Gallo's loud and bustling behavior, but this time he couldn't say anything to him.
Cesare was not just their master.
He was the only lord they could serve, a close friend they could turn to, and a brother who would die on the same day even if they were born on different days.
So he could understand Gallo's despair.
Gallo is like that, so what about Cesare, the person involved?
Terence puts his hand on Cesare's shoulder in despair.
“Cesare.”
However, contrary to his expectations, Terence discovered a sparkling golden eye.
"What is Venus of Valdina?"
Instead of Cesare breaking down Iike Gallo, he reflected on the shaman's last words.
At least the shaman didn't say it was impossible. She just put a condition on it.
So it is too early to give up or fall into despair.
"Venus of Valdina, huh. She will save you... Tenny."
A prophecy-like will be delivered by Shadela's shaman, even while breaking heaven's taboo.
"Contact my home country. I think I should stay in Valdina a little longer."
"You really..."
Terence took a step back from Cesare with a look of boredom in his eyes.
"So be careful, Terence. When they encounter an obstacle like that, instead of avoiding it, they destroy it."
A long time ago, his teacher's voice somehow seemed to echo in his ears again.
***
After getting ready to leave, Medea, Neril, and Saya got into the carriage.
The streets of Asilum at sunset. The carriage was passing through a fairly dark forest.
"Where are you going?"
Armed bandits blocked the carriage.
"I don't have anything to do with you. If you arbitrarily take someone like that, it's okay."
I looked outside through the window and was astonished.
She shouted as she saw the faces of the thieves who were arguing with the coachman.
"They're Asilum's human traffickers!"
The thieves also giggled among themselves when they saw Saya.
"Wow, it's worse than I heard."
"Still, I'll give you two more silver coins. You get your money's worth."
In her last life, I, coincidentally, seemed to have lost her life after being sold to a trafficker today.
The reason Theo was so angry about his sister's death was probably because he couldn't even properly find her body.
Neril stuck his head out and looked at the bandits surrounding the carriage. It seemed like they were following them from Asilum.
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
Medea wordlessly handed over the bag of gold coins.
"It looks like they were chasing a kid. I'll buy it."
Neril got off the carriage and threw a pouch at their feet.
"Wow, ten gold coins. The owner here is very generous."
However, even after receiving the gold coins, they did not easily retreat.
They surrounded the carriage and lit a flame demanding that they hand over more money.
"It's getting late, so why don't we stop here?"
As the standoff dragged on, Medea finally appeared. Their eyes sparkled.
"Oh, look at this? Anyone can see that she's a noble lady, right?"
The leader scanned Medeia with greedy eyes, waving his bag of gold coins and grinning.
"I think I could get five times more from you, but you're just going to eat this and leave?"
'Even if I try to send them off nicely, they are people I can't communicate with.'
Medea sighed briefly.
She stood in front of Neril, comforting Saya, who was holding onto the hem of her skirt.
"Neril."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Neril had already drawn his sword and was ready to fight.
"The pumpkins are rolling around on vines. Are you lucky today?"
The excited men grinned and took out blades from their arms.
A poor noble girl who looks like she can't even hold a branch. There is only one escort knight accompanying her.
The way he swaggered and said that he just ate rice sesame seeds seemed very familiar.
Neril jumped in like the wind, and the fight began. But they were no match for Neril.
"W-what... ן"
"My arm!"
"My legs, damn it!"
In the blink of an eye, four people fell. The thieves screamed, clutching their arms and legs.
Even after seeing this, they were people who had a long life on this floor. Besides, there are twelve of them, and there is only one opponent.
However, despite the numerical superiority, the situation changed superiority, the situation changed in an instant.
The leader took a step back. It can't go on like this.
He hurriedly looked around.
The young lady who was the owner of the knight caught his eye.
'If I take that woman hostage, even that flying knight won't be able to use her power.'
The leader turned to Medea with a wicked smile.
