Soul Of Negary

"The Sacred Valley is a group of a.s.sa.s.sins" Alkors muttered the information he collected.

"For the sake of a certain belief, they a.s.sa.s.sinate people all over the world, not hesitating to even throw their lives away for it"

"Anyone unfortunate enough to become their target would be killed regardless of means or price" Alkors scowled as he continued: "These people are simply lunatics. Their targets included n.o.bles, merchants, adventurers and even kings"

"What's their purpose?" Nala asked, riding on the horse.

"Because they have the Black Abyss trait!" Alkors sighed: "No matter who that person is, even if they were a doctor who had saved countless lives, even if they were a wise monarch, as long as they possessed the Black Abyss trait, Sacred Valley will kill them"

"And the stronger those with the Black Abyss trait are, the higher-priority they would become as a target" Alkors said with a bit of disgust: "And the way Scared Valley determines if somebody has the Black Abyss trait or not is entirely reliant on a set of unfathomable measurements. Many people have become their targets without even knowing about it"

"In short, it's a group of extremists who will stop at nothing for their belief"

"What a horrible organization" Nala received the doc.u.ments. Some of them were given by Eldridge, some were obtained through the Church of Divine Grace, and some were collected by n.o.bles.

When he learned that Nala was going to the Sacred Valley to prevent the advent of the Black Abyss, Seth the First smiled so wide his mouth almost got stuck that way, and provided Nala with all the information about Sacred Valley and the Black Abyss within Interkam's royal records.

According to Sacred Valley's own statement, they were the attendants of a great being, with the Spring of Life in their hands and everything they did was for the sake of peace of this World.

They valued life more than anyone else and would never hurt the innocent, each of them holds themselves to an extreme standard with clear beliefs. They cherished life and considered all lives to be precious and friendly. For them, even if you demanded 'protection fees', committed fraud, robbery, rape, murder, etc.… no matter how much of a sc.u.mbag you are, as long as you did not have the Black Abyss trait, they were your friend.

If someone in trouble asked them for help, they would be more than willing to do so. If you wanted to learn how to fight and a.s.sa.s.sinate from them, they would also generously teach you without any strings attached. Even if you were heavily injured and needed water from the Sacred Valley's Spring of Life, after verification, they would also hand it to you without question. As long as you ignored how they vehemently slaughtered people with the mysterious Black Abyss trait, they could be regarded as the most amiable organization on the whole continent, even more so than the Church of Divine Grace. After all,

Sacred Valley was such a peculiar organization.

"Hales will definitely try to stop our trip to the Sacred Valley. Some other people will also attempt to carry out ambushes on us, so make sure to keep up your guards, everyone" Nala looked to the group behind her, which included several knights who volunteered to follow her, as well as some knights and priests sent by the Church of Divine Grace to aid her, other than that, there weren't anyone else.

Hales had been borrowing chaos of war to grow continuously for the past few years, including the creation of numerous Evil Spirits in many places and spreading them all over the continent. Furthermore, as the war raged on, many people had been ruined, these people who had nothing left were easily drawn to Hales' ideals, joined them and caused even more havoc which led to more Evil Spirits.

So now, Hales was growing stronger very rapidly. If it weren't for Negary who stole Ellis away, the 'unfathomable' side of their G.o.d, the Chopped Hand that was about to take shape, Hales would have been even stronger right now.

Despite this, two out of Hales' four sides of G.o.d had already returned to their seats: the Cut Tongue who represented G.o.d's 'unspeakable' side, and the Dazzled who represented G.o.d's 'unseeable' side. Hales had chosen to leave Negary alone and nurtured another Evil Spirit to create the Dazzled.

It was said that the third side of G.o.d, the Chopped Hand had also been found and would soon return to their seat, leaving only the Decapitated who represented the 'unreasonable' side remaining.

Nala didn't stop for a single moment while riding her horse. Within her perception, the thing called the Black Abyss was quickly awakening, if they did not hurry, many people would lose their lives from the precursor of the Advent of the Black Abyss.

An arrow accurately landed in front of Nala's horse and caused Nala to pull the reins. Only to see an archer who didn't try to conceal himself but rather stood openly in front of her.

"Your Royal Highness, please return. Don't go to the Sacred Valley, or I will do everything to stop you" the person declared with a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Nala observed the man. A strong body wrapped in layers of bandages, with a white mask on his face and short silver hair, a spirited man.

For some reason, Nala felt that she had seen this person somewhere before. Despite him shooting her, it was more of a warning, or perhaps even protection. Nala could feel that the other party had no intention of hurting her.

"Sorry, I decline your kindness as I have to go there" Nala said sincerely, "Please get out of the way"

"Sacred Valley won't recognize you, they won't even open the door to the kiln for you" Jason's voice was particularly hoa.r.s.e: "You would only be going to your death, this is meaningless. Return to Ingmarlo, inherit your throne and become a qualified monarch!"

"You don't need to worry about the Black Abyss. They aren't your responsibilities to bear"

"But right now, I am the only one who can bear them!" Nala wasn't at all shaken by the other party's sincere words.

"Then I am sorry" Jason pulled the string of his bow once again and said apologetically: "I can only severely wound you to prevent you from going any further"

"To enter the kiln of the first flame, I need to go through the trial of Sacred Valley, but you said that Sacred Valley would not recognize me, then I understand" Nala's eyes were still crystal clear: "I also have the Black Abyss trait, don't I?"

"Yes, it is for this reason that Sacred Valley would never allow you to enter the kiln of the first flame, because it's very possible that you are not going to prolong the flame, but to extinguish it. Perhaps you might already be on the waiting list" Jason admitted without much trouble.

"Back then, Cardinal Augustin saved my life once, that is why I'm violating the rules of Sacred Valley in order to tell you about this. Now, return" Jason persuaded her one last time.

"You are uncle Jason, aren't you?" through Jason's words, Nala quickly realized who this person was. He was hired by Augustin during their crusade on Negary, and when he was ambushed by a Crowmen, it was Augustin who saved his life.

In any case, not only did he have a connection with Nala, but he understood and admired Nala's affairs up to now. For this reason, he didn't want such a person to die in vain.

"Sorry" Nala still did not waver in the slightest. If Sacred Valley really had a solution, Nala would probably cooperate, but considering their actions up to this point, Sacred Valley had only been using an extreme method to prevent the coming of the Black Abyss. They would kill everyone with the Black Abyss trait, but they had no way to truly prolong the flames.
