In the quiet cell, Kachis leaned against the wall, recalling his tumultuous life.
"I was born in a declining family in Anti. It sounds better than ordinary people, but the situation may be worse." He pressed his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and recalled, seeming a little ashamed to tell the past, but this kind of narration before his death also gave him a sense of relief.
"My childhood memories are basically all about cursing and whipping, because my ancestors had been honored and my family felt that we should live a decent life, but life was not decent at all."
"I'm eager to climb up just to get out of this environment, but I find that I also enjoy torturing others. I can vent as much as I want and do whatever I want. It's great." When he said this, the corners of his mouth curved in a creepy way.
"Of course I can't fail. Once I fail, there will be Abyss behind me. In order to keep my position, I naturally have to have more trump cards and more things that can draw others into trouble. I am very good at collecting information from these nooks and crannies, and then find the target I want."
"With these strengths, I was quickly valued by King Atir, and I did many unsightly things for him, and my position became higher and higher."
"As you can see, in the end I restored my family to the title of baron and became a general."
He should have omitted a lot of things that are difficult to think about in detail, but it doesn't make much sense to ask now.
"How did you come into contact with the rituals and secrets of "Twin Snake Cult"?" Sylutia wants to know this.
"The origin of that thing is quite coincidental. I found it from a smuggling businessman's collection when I caught him." Kachis recalled.
"That guy was very rich and would say anything to survive. From what he said, I learned that some tomb robber probably dug this out of an ancient relic tomb and sold it to a businessman as an antique."
"I have learned a lot about Secret History Knowledge, so I naturally recognize that this is the infamous "Twin Snake Cult" symbol. Since it falls into my hands, I can't hand it over in vain."
"I found someone to help me look up the secret history records in this area, and later I gradually learned about its use. I have also tried to use it to fuse low-level creatures before."
"Of course I have heard about "Purgatory Three-Headed Dog", a monster that is well-known in history, and even my ancestors used it as their family emblem."
"I think this is fate or a gift from fate, implying that one day I will regain the glory of my family."
"So I always wear that dagger."
"Although outsiders think it is a Cult item, as long as power is easy to use, there is no way to say whether it is evil or not."
After listening to his story, Sylutia didn't get any more clues, just like what Kachis had gained from a chance encounter.
"Have you ever inquired about the current situation of "Twin Snake Cult" in the future?"
"This has indeed been done. During that time, His Majesty asked me to be responsible for cleaning up spies and enemy informants in the country. I took advantage of that opportunity to rummage through a lot of sealed information and history, and also asked people on the fringes."
"Twin Snake Cult should not be found on the mainland at present. They have either turned into an extremely secretive and low-key closed organization, or they have gone deep into the Twilight Sea."
"Twilight Sea deep?" Sylutia was a little surprised.
"It should be severely affected by "Distortion" and it would be impossible for normal people to live there."
"You are right, normal people cannot live, but people like "Twin Snake Cult" are not normal people."
"In the final stages, they invented a method to fuse normal people and monsters, so that they can gain the ability to live in the depths of the Twilight Sea."
"This kind of ritual will cause the pollution of consciousness and soul, and may lead to insanity." Sylutia analyzed calmly.
"They don't care. Do you think people who believe in Cult are so sensible and smart?" Kachis smiled mockingly.
"What they sought was strength and immortality. They became monsters, and they did achieve their goals to a certain extent."
After listening to Kachis's words, Sylutia nodded slightly, and then gave instructions to an accompanying bachelor.
"Write down what Kachis recalled about "Twin Snake Cult"."
"If you provide enough valid information, I will propose to Queen Musa to slow down the execution for one year." After saying that, Sylutia stood up.
"Thank you for your kindness." Kachis, who was sitting in prison, breathed a sigh of relief.
One year? He must have thought it was short in the past, but now it seems like such a luxury.
After staying at White Cliff City for two weeks, Sylutia waited until Sophitina. Compared to two years ago, this intellectual young lady has become much more mature.
"Hi~Tia, long time no see." She was wearing a wide black sun hat and a black pleated summer skirt. Her body curves were quite obvious, comparable to Musa.
"After receiving your letter, I discussed with my father for a long time, and he agreed to let me leave the Woodland and come to Regas for practical trials." As he said that, Sophitina blinked.
"However, what surprises me is that you are actually famous in this country as "Knight"." She came to Sylutia and looked up and down carefully with the girl's somewhat embarrassed expression.
"It's still almost the same as two years ago, both in terms of size and body shape." Sophitina hugged Sylutia and felt it.
"Don't tease me." Sylutia shook his head and replied helplessly.
Her body shape seems to be set at the age of 17. She doesn't know the reason for this. She can only guess that it may have something to do with her family bloodline or the Fairy blessing she received when she was a child.
"It's good that Sophitina is here. The time for me to return to the Woodland is coming soon. Regas may have to ask you to assist Musa in many things from now on."
"I knew it from the letter, but I don't have much confidence in this matter." Sophitina let go of Sylutia in his arms, and then helped her tidy up her snow-white dress.
"Anyway, I'm getting along with a queen. What if she doesn't like my type?" Sophitina said jokingly.
"Musa is not that kind of snobbish person." Sylutia shook his cute head.
"I will take you to see her later. I believe you will gradually become familiar with her."
In the following week, Sylutia was handing over various matters to Sophitina Regas, during which Musa also accompanied him.
One day, the three of them were sitting on the viewing balcony of the palace, enjoying afternoon tea and chatting about each other's interesting stories.
"It turns out that Tia also took care of the farm in the Woodland. No wonder he is so familiar with agriculture-related things." Musa was a little curious.
"If you calculate it this way, Tia is younger than me." She always thought that Sylutia was the kind of girl whose actual age was much older than her, but because she was Transcendent, she could always stay young.
"Of course, after careful calculation, Tia is probably younger than us and is like a younger sister." Sophitina covered his mouth and chuckled.
"But her talent is much better than mine. She was at level two a few years ago, but in the blink of an eye, she has left me behind."
"This..." Sylutia opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but found that no matter what he said, it seemed like he was showing off.
"Gee, actually I was similar to Tina a few months ago." Musa thought of those days of running away.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable."
With Sylutia acting as a bridge, the relationship between the two slowly entered the stage of becoming familiar with each other.
After that, Sylutia slowly ended her work at White Cliff City. Although she was still a little reluctant to leave, she had been away for too long during this vacation. Even with the pampering of several the Woodland elders, she could not go too far. It was time to return to the Woodland.
