As they examined the illusory mountain, Austin and the fire source beast could see arge number of strange creatures packed
onto it. ording to Henrik, they all belonged to the ghost race.
After a couple moments, it seemed that they noticed Austin and the fire source beast looking at them and they stared back with
vicious eyes, releasing shrill cries.
"We didn''t see this illusory mountain when we were climbing.
But as soon as Henrik told us about it, it appeared in front of us.
There must be something wrong with him!"
the fire source beast told Austin telepathically.
"| think you''re right. It''s all very strange,"
Austin replied, nodding.
"My friends, | advise you not to provoke the ghost race. They are difficult to deal with. Unless it''s necessary, you should avoid
crossing paths with them,"
Henrik warned.
"And while we''re at it, you''d be better off staying in the Yang World and drinking wine with me. It''s morefortable,"
he added with a smile.
"We are here to look for the ghost race. We are going to kill all those disgusting creatures,"
the fire source beast replied in a determined voice.
"Are you going to stop us from doing that?"
He stared at Henrik with sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Why would | stop you? I''m d that you''re here to destroy them.
They are absolutely gross and I''ve been tired of them for so long.
If you want to get rid of them, go ahead.
But know that they are tough. You''ll have to be careful,”
Henrik said without hesitation.
His answer was not what Austin and the fire source beast had been expecting.
What was Henrik''s true identity?
Why was he here?
Austin and the fire source beast exchanged a slightly worried look. They had no answers for these important questions.
"How about we take him down and interrogate him?"
Austin suggested to the fire source beast after thinking for a while.
"| can''t perceive his real strength at all
which means that he must be very powerful.
If we fight him, he might be able to overpower us,"
the fire source beast replied.
"I haven''t been able to figure out his real strength either."
Austin nced at the ground and frowned.
"But he must be incredibly strong to be living here.
| think we should wait and see what he wants to do first,"
Austin said.
"| agree. That''s a good n,"
the fire source beast responded, nodding in agreement.
Henrik couldn''t hear a word that they were saying because Austin and the fire source beast were conversing using their
telepathy.
"First, we need to clear up some things. We''re all in the Fiery Eye in the depths of the Eight Fires Valley. This is the world where
the fire source beasts’ ancestors lived. How are you here if you''re a human being?
You said that you have been on this mountain for a long time. Why are you here anyway? With your strength, it shouldn''t be
difficult for you to leave this ce and go into the outside.
Tell us the reason, please,"
Austin said calmly, looking at Henrik.
"So you want to hear my story?"
Henrik asked, breathing out a sigh of relief.
"Yes, please,"
Austin replied, nodding.
"Then let''s sit down and I''ll treat you to some of my wine.
You can listen to my story while drinking.
My wine pairs well with my story,"
Henrik said, turning around and heading in the direction of a nearby pavilion.
The pavilion was old and dirty.
But as soon as Henrik entered it, it began shining with a dazzling, divine light.
Under the newfound light, the dpidated pavilion started to transform, and in the blink of an eye, it looked brand-new.
Even the paint on the pavilion was still wet.
Momentster, colorful flowers popped up from the earth and surrounded the pavilion, attracting bees and butterflies by the
hundreds.
In the distance, a greenke appeared
with leaping fish in its shallows and depths.
Everywhere they looked, the ce was filled with life.
What shocked Austin and the fire source beast most was that after perceiving the scenery with their spiritual sense, they
discovered that all these things were real.
It was not an illusion created by any type of energy orw.
It seemed that Henrik had summoned it all into existence.
Neither Austin nor the fire source beast could figure out how the young man had done it.
He was bing more mysterious the longer that they spent time with him.
"Ha-ha-ha!
Come on in. Let''s rx with a good drink!"
Henrik sat down on a stone chair in the pavilion and waved for Austin and the fire source beast to join him.
However, they hesitated.
"Let''s see what he wants to do,"
Austin told the fire source beast after some thought.
"Okay. Let''s go,"
the fire source beast agreed.
Then, they stepped into the pavilion and sat down opposite Henrik.
"Ha-ha-ha!
All right. We''ll get right down to it then!"
Henrik said,ughing loudly.
With a wave of his hand, two crystal clear wine ssesnded in front of Austin and the fire source beast.
A few secondster, another ss plopped down in front of him.
Then, a towering jug of hot wine joined it.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Cheers!
Let''s drink up!"
Henrik raised his ss and guzzled until it was empty.
Before drinking, Austin and the fire source beast used their spiritual senses to examine their own sses.
The wine was real and
it smelled like it had been brewed using a lot of precious natural resources.
Even for a divine god, this wine was very precious.
So Austin and the fire source beast raised their sses and drank the wine.
"So, will you tell us your story now?"
Austin urged, looking straight at Henrik.
"Since you are so eager, yes, | will tell you,"
Henrik answered, pouring himself another ss of wine and finishing it as well.

Henrik said slowly, telling them his life story from the very beginning.
But even after a long story, Austin and the fire source beast still hadn''t learned anything useful.
