The woman in a light yellow knee-length skirt was thin and not beautiful, but her haggard expression could not hide the heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

The woman with a refreshing short hair looked as if no one else existed. After being seen by Raymond, she stared at Rose Poison Scorpion Mario.

It was a bit strange that a person who was just standing outside the double-layer isolation barrier could make his voice heard by everyone.

Therefore, Raymond, who looked down, saw the light golden anklet on her ankle, but his pupils shrank after seeing the anklet, because the anklet seemed to be very long, and one end was still hidden in the void, causing the side of her ankle to have a space distortion that was not easy to detect.

After hearing the woman speak twice, Mario canceled the operation of the double-layer isolation array, and came to the woman and spoke with trembling lips. "Moritz! Is it really you..."

"Old Stone, how come you have become so old!"

"It's really you! It's really you..."

Sen Mario, who seemed to be a little incoherent while speaking, made the woman's eyes flash with pity, and then a little mist appeared in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to stroke her gray temples and smiled.

Sen Mario, who was white-haired and old, did not resist the woman's action. After hesitating, he raised his trembling right hand and held the woman's hand that was stroking his temples, and put it on her cheek and did not allow it to move.

The woman blushed when she tried to pull her hand out. But then she glared in anger, forcing Sen Mario to let go of his hand awkwardly. At the woman's signal, he followed her to the side, as if to start communicating.

The people who guessed that this woman was Moritz, the guardian of the wizard plane, naturally would not disturb her at this time. Raymond, who had come close to the ringed seal Clement, asked in confusion. "Is this Moritz, the guardian of the wizard plane?"

Clement, with a simple smile on his face, squinted his eyes this time, with joy and relief in his expression, and sighed when he heard the voice. "Just a little thinner..."

Clement, who stopped talking after saying that, turned around and began to check the remains of the thousand-headed bird that was smashed by Sen Mario's palm before, but most of the glass-like fragments had been integrated into the environment at this time. Only some ash-like substances were still evaporating. The air was filled with a faint fishy smell.

The crystal that was handed over by Sen Mario before was found to contain rich energy under Raymond's inspection, as if it was the heart core of the thousand-headed bird that was killed before, but it was also mixed with some strong smell. It seemed that it could only be used after processing.

A moment later, Sen Mario, with a happy expression, walked over with the woman. After introducing his identity, he bowed to Raymond and said, "Raymond, thank you very much for accompanying me here, otherwise it would be very difficult to break through the barrier of the mother river..."

"Yes, it is because you three relayed to break through the vortex barrier, otherwise even if you can break through it with the ability of Old Stone and Old Seal, you will suffer serious injuries. Thank you..."

Moritz, who took over the words of Sen Mario to express her gratitude, bowed slightly as a salute, but then her eyes fell on the girl Becky on Raymond's shoulder, frowned as if thinking. After a moment, she asked hesitantly. "Are you the projection of the true spirit?"

After this woman appeared, the girl Becky seemed to be afraid of her, and shrank back before answering softly. "I'm not sure myself, but they all said so..."

"That's right, but your seal has not been completely lifted. You will know everything when your memory is fully restored..."

After saying this with a smile, Moritz turned to the one-eyed sandman Shaliman and Adolf of the Holy Light Church who were standing beside Raymond, and nodded slightly as if he was making a judgment. After a moment, he turned to Raymond and spoke. "Old Stone told me the purpose of your coming here, but it will take some time for the mirror world of Azis to enter the sea of ​​time and space. You need to wait patiently!"

Although the thin Moritz in front of him had no force field fluctuations all over his body, his own aura was surprising, so Raymond asked directly. "Do you also know the Son of Space, Azis?"

"He is an old sly fellow! He would rather wander in the interlayer of space for a hundred years than open the Mirror Realm to me after losing the bet last time, so he has not dared to appear near the Mother River until now!"

With an annoyed expression on his cheeks, Moritz's eyes turned as if he had thought of something, and he turned around and shouted at Sen Mario. "Old Stone! You dare to attack the young of the Thousand-headed Bird. If I hadn't been patrolling around here, you would have been killed long ago!"

"How can I know the situation of the Thousand-headed Bird? Seeing that it is still a young bird, it is natural to test it..."

As soon as Sen Mario started to explain, Moritz became more annoyed, and immediately interrupted him and shouted. "Old man, old man, why didn't you call yourself the old man back then? I will deal with you after I finish my work!"

Sen Mario, who dared not say anything, retreated to the side, lowered his head but had a happy look on his face, and Moritz turned his face and stretched out his hand to Raymond. "Give me back the crystal. If I lose one, I will have to stay here for another year!"

After handing over the crystal collected from the Thousand-Headed Bird, Moritz lowered his head to check it and walked to the location of the Thousand-Headed Bird that was killed before. He waved his right hand to make the crystal float in front of him, and then his hands quickly constructed some kind of magic, causing the crystal to start rotating rapidly.

There was no energy fluctuation around Moritz, and only some traces of the force field left by the edge of his rapidly waving palm could be seen. This extremely restrained way of casting attracted Raymond's attention, but Sen Mario, who was close to him, sighed at this time. "Who would have thought that Moritz was stranded here because she lost the bet. If I could wait another ten years, I would be able to see her..."

"Bet? What bet?"

"The bet of the Thousand-Headed Bird, the loser needs to stay here for a hundred years to serve it..."

Raymond was surprised to hear this. "Didn't you say that Moritz has been missing for nearly a thousand years?"

Raymond's question made Sen Mario stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little strange. He paused for a moment before lowering his voice. "Yes! Moritz is a gambler, otherwise why would she stay here for so long! She..."

Just when he said this, Moritz, who had his back to the two of them, suddenly roared. "Old Stone! Shut up! If you dare to speak again, I will immediately throw you into the million-year-old Thousand-Headed Bird Territory. Anyway, the individual Thousand-Headed Birds that have been killed have the ability to revive them!"

Sen Mario, with his neck shrunken, smiled awkwardly and stepped back again, while Raymond, who frowned, was a little puzzled by Moritz's mention of "resurrection", so he asked. "Lord Moritz, what do you mean by being "resurrected" by the Thousand-Headed Bird?"

Moritz, whose right hand was still waving quickly to construct some kind of magic, uttered a cry but did not speak, but his left hand was raised towards Raymond in the gap between casting spells, and swayed to make a waiting gesture.

Raymond stopped asking questions and went to the side to watch patiently.

With Moritz's quick waving of his ten fingers, the yellow mist emanating from the surface of the crystal quickly rose upwards, and after a moment, formed the vague outline of the thousand-headed bird.

After the outline of the thousand-headed bird became clear, Moritz flicked his finger lightly, causing the crystal, which had shrunk a lot, to rise into the air and enter the outline of the thousand-headed bird. In the blink of an eye, a two-headed bird with its eyes closed took shape again.

Moritz, who looked relaxed, turned around and said to everyone. "Okay, follow me..." (To be continued ~^~)
