Sister Fried nodded and said, "An ancient ritual."
"The Firekeeper is to have her eyes removed."
"Only by embracing the darkness can they guard the flame."
Sister Fried hesitated slightly before saying slowly, "I might need to go back to the Fire Transmission Ritual Site."
Go back?
Su Ziyu furrowed his brows and asked, "What for?"
Sister Fried showed the eyeball in her hand and said softly, "Give it to the Firekeeper."
"To approach the First Flame."
"We will need the Firekeeper's help."
Sister Fried must have remembered something, but she was unwilling to elaborate. Instead, she looked up at Su Ziyu and asked, "Can you trust me?"
"Perhaps I have a way to extinguish the First Flame more easily."
"But you need to give me the other Lord's souls as proof."
Su Ziyu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"But at least let me understand what you're planning to do."
