Act 419. Acquaintances

"His Excellency Hornheim!!?"

Reiner was a little surprised. The last time he saw the legendary master was in Omster. He discussed some topics about the essence of magic with Hornheim, who had fallen into madness, and never heard of him again after leaving.

But he actually appeared in this ruins, and judging from Hornheim's appearance, he had just arrived at this place.

What secrets are hidden here?

“Renner?”

Hornheim looked quite normal, and he quickly recognized Reiner.

"What are you doing here?"

"His Excellency Hornheim, I was involved in this claustrophobic space while exploring this ruins, looking for an exit."

Reiner replied truthfully that although His Excellency Hornheim was in a madness, he was still a former legendary wizard, and the necessary respect was still needed.

"It's not good, it's not where you should be."

His Excellency Hornheim shook his head and murmured to himself. He soon saw Heleson behind Reiner and frowned slightly.

"You are very familiar with you."

He said, causing Hellesen to tilt his head expressionlessly.

"Mr. Hornheim, I am the alchemy doll you made, Heleson."

He explained honestly that Heleisson seemed to be not very clear about Hornheim's current situation.

"Hellesen?"

Hornheim said slightly confused.

"No, no, Heleson is my daughter...you look exactly like Heleson, but you are not my daughter."

He took two steps back, as if he was in a certain amount of chaos, and at the same time, he also revealed the things that were originally blocked by Hornheim's body.

On the table, there is a gray box. The box has not been opened yet and is lying quietly in the middle of the table.

"Who are you?"

His Excellency Hornheim questioned, and as his words, a physical ripple spread out, knocking down both Reiner and Heleson.

Unexpectedly, even in the Dead Domain, Hornheim could still drive this level of magic.

He quickly walked to Heleson, reached out and grabbed her neck, and lifted him up.

"You are not Heleson, who are you? Where did Heleson go?"

Hornheim asked persistently, as he seemed to have lost the memory of his creation of Heleson, and stubbornly thought she was a bad guy who pretended to be his daughter.

"grown ups......"

Although Hellasen is an alchemy doll, most of her body functions are the same as humans. She cannot breathe when she is grabbed by her throat like this. Her face turns pale and her legs swayed subconsciously, but she has no way to break free and can only make a weak call.

"His Excellency Hornheim, please calm down."

Reiner felt as if his whole body had fallen apart, and he slowly stood up and tried to persuade Hornheim.

"Your daughter has passed away. This is the alchemy doll you made. Do you remember?"

He said, stunned Hornheim and let go of his hand.

Heleisen fell to the ground and coughed, showing an unprecedented expression of pain.

"Hellesen is gone?"

Hornheim asked in disbelief as he looked at Heleson, who was lying on the ground, and his eyes widened.

It seemed that some memories were shaking his brain and making him confused.

It seems that just like the rumor, the death of his daughter has a big blow to Hornheim.

However, what Reiner did not expect was that Hornheim's daughter was named Heleesen, and this alchemy doll was actually made based on Heleesen.

Perhaps after his daughter's death, His Excellency Hornheim, who missed her daughter, placed his feelings on Hellasen.

"His Excellency Hornheim, why are you here?"

When Reiner saw that Hornheim had calmed down a little, he dared to ask carefully.

“Hellesen…Hellesen…”

Hornheim was still immersed in the pain of losing his daughter. He looked at his hands and seemed not to notice Reiner's question.

"Is this box the one that is enough to destroy this world?"

Seeing this, Reiner could only put the chaotic Lord Hornheim aside and observe the entire room.

The containers around the room looked like culture jars or specimen bottles, but the things inside had long disappeared. Perhaps the monsters that Reiner and the others encountered just now were derived from these containers, but it was hard to say.

As for the table in the middle, it was obvious that the box was very important. Reiner came to the table and looked carefully. He could not find the shadow of the machine. The box was not locked, so he just put it there, waiting for others to open it.

Reiner thought of Pandora's magic box. Maybe this was the magic box that would cause the catastrophe to come as soon as it was opened. Instead of opening it rashly, he wanted to ensure it, or at least awaken His Excellency Hornheim through actions on the box.

"Don't touch this box."

Seeing that Reiner wanted to pick up the box, Hornheim immediately shouted and stopped, as if he was much more awake.

"His Excellency Hornheim, how much do you know about this box?"

Reiner immediately stopped the movements in his hand and asked.

"This is a magic box, which has the power to destroy this world. I came into contact with it and tried my best to hide it, but unexpectedly I was found."

His Excellency Hornheim said, his tone was full of regret, confusion and fear, which made Reiner even more confused about what was in the box.

From the outside, this is an ordinary iron box, without any special features. If it were not located in this place and the explanation of His Excellency Hornheim, Reiner would have never thought that the power that could destroy this world would be hidden in it.

However, Reiner quickly realized that because this is a dead land with magic power, no matter how powerful magical items are, they cannot produce any effect in this space. It is the best place to seal magical items.

At the same time, those monsters may be the guards guarding this area to prevent the invaders from snooping.

Reiner looked at the box and asked.

"His Excellency Hornheim, what exactly does this box contain?"

Since Hornheim hid it himself, he must have seen the body of the thing in the box. Since he was not going to open the box, Reiner was curious about what it was.

Is it a scroll of some world-destroying magic, or a bomb that destroys the planet, or a virus that exterminates creatures?

Hearing Reiner's words, His Excellency Hornheim looked at the box, and wanted to speak but stopped.

“There is nothing in the box.”
