Chapter 2697: exile

Taking advantage of the saint's attention being attracted by the Statue of Light, Kaidan left the team and went away alone. When Ronis found out, Kaidan could no longer be seen.
Seeing this, Ronis could only pray silently for him. In any case, Kaidan helped himself before, and only hoped that he and his friends could escape this disaster.
Walking all the way through the city, Kaidan soon came to the temporary magic workshop in the city, where Mage Tazis and his apprentices were.
Approaching the workshop, Kaidan's figure was also recognized by the nearby guards, and soon, a bunch of well-equipped iron puppets stood in front of Kaidan.
"Don't come any closer, Kaidan. For the sake of seeing you helped us in the past, if you leave now, we won't stop you."
The deputy of the Tazis workshop, Mage Nevin stood in front of a group of golem puppets and scolded Kaidan. Of course he knew the mercenary. When he completed the mission of the Church of Light, Kaidan helped a lot in the manufacturing process. Due to the lack of magic equipment, the physical work that the apprentices couldn't handle was also done by him. .
"The city of light is about to be destroyed, and the saints will wipe out everything in the city. If you still want to live, you'd better get out of here quickly, so is Master Tazis." Kaidan said urgently, his eyes could not help but glance behind the puppet building
Facing Kaidan's persuasion, Naiwen fell into silence. Of course, he felt the movement in the distance. The huge bright statue could cause an earthquake with every gesture: "This is not something I can decide, I must obey the tower. Order of Mage Zeith."
"Don't you understand? He was deceived by the people here. He can only listen to lies now, and I won't let this happen." Kaidan clenched the blade in his hand, he may not be as strong as a saint , there is no protection on his body, but he will not just give up.
Master Naiwen's eyes narrowed, he beckoned, the golems behind him lined up neatly, the lifeless golems, under the control of the master, seemed to form a solid wall, blocking Kaidan's way forward.
"Let him come over."
At this moment, there was a sigh in the house behind, and Master Naiwen showed a respectful look. It was the voice of the master of the workshop, Master Tazis.
With Tazis' order, Nevin no longer stopped Kaidan, and the Iron Golem also moved out of the way, allowing Kaidan to pass between them.
When he came to the house, Kaidan finally saw the old Master Tazis, who was sitting in front of the extinguished fireplace, his entire figure seemed to have lost the strength to support.
This is the first time Takis has met with him since he was deceived by the Priest of Light. He hurried forward and said, "Mage Tazis, we'd better leave here quickly."
From the accident in the city, the arrival of the saints, and the bright statue that was supposed to be dead, but suddenly moved, Kaidan was keenly aware of the problems in the city, and they were involved in a conspiracy. Get out, wait until the accident happens, it's too late to regret it.
Facing Kaidan's proposal, Tazis shook his head: "I will not go anywhere, I will stay here until the last moment of my life."
Hearing Mage Pingdan's words, Kaidan suddenly became a little anxious: "You don't want to leave, that's because you were deceived by those priests! I told you long ago that your son was turned into Rhode's army by Rhodes' army. The undead was killed by the mercenary on the mission with holy water, and his soul was completely disintegrated, and there is no possibility of resurrection! I saw all that with my own eyes, no matter what those priests showed you, they were all lies to you. "
"You are... rude and rude." Tazis showed a complicated expression, his hands clenched tightly.
"I'm telling you the truth. Until now, I still remember your son's death. You should really take a good look at what he looked like when he died. If he can see you now, he will definitely be sad for you." Kaidan insist.
"You woke me up from the only remaining beautiful dream, let me return to this cruel world, and feel the pain again, are you happy now?" Master Tazis sighed.
"what…"
Kaidan was stunned for a moment. The reaction of Mage Tazis was different from what he expected. Takis did not get angry, but maintained the calm that belonged to the Mage, as if he had known all this for a long time.
As if to see Kaidan's doubts, this time, Master Tazis raised his head, and his eyes showed the look of a long-lost mage: "Not everyone can accept that sadness calmly and live in a cruel moment. I know that the priest gives What I saw was false, but what did that matter? At least that would give my tired soul a little solace."
Kaidan was stunned, but still said: "But things shouldn't be like this..."
"Then what do you want me to do? For the sake of my dead son, take revenge on Rhodes who is in charge of millions of undead and covers the sky with only one hand? It is impossible to succeed. Maybe you still have hope in this life, but I am old, Even worse than a corpse. Just let me stay here... This will be Tazis' final destination."
In the words of the old mage, there was deep exhaustion. It was only mentioned in the words that the undead Lord of the world's most powerful demons, his thin body, became more and more powerless.
Looking at Kaidan, who fell into silence, Tazis said again: "I never ask for anything, there is a bright hero who cleans up all evil and comes forward for the suffering people, I just hope that before I die, I can see more people who died. Even if it's just watching his vision, I can get a little comfort from my past memories... I can't continue to fight."
"What about the other apprentices? They all trust you and follow you. You put them in a conspiracy. Do you want to watch them get hurt or even die because of you?" Kaidan changed topic advice.
"You are right." Tazis applauded, "so I will entrust those apprentices to those who trust. From now on, you will inherit the Tazis alchemy workshop, those apprentices will be used by you, you can Lead them to continue fighting, or find a home for them. You can still insist on coming back to me at this moment, and I believe you can treat them kindly."
"Wait..." Kaidan opened his mouth wide, he never thought that things would turn out like this in the end.
"Your pastor friend is looking for a way to shine, isn't it? Those apprentices know the light ritual, and they can help you. As for me, just leave me here alone."
After saying that, Tazis held Kaidan's hand and pushed the mercenaries who came along the way to the door, while he was alone in the dimly lit room, waiting for his last moment. .
