The castle was particularly quiet at night. Tilan sat at the table under the window sill, listening to Ranbeier's singing and the sound of the piano. She felt slightly in a trance, as if she could vaguely see some past scenes from the singing.
However, those scenes are still blurry and are not as profound as the imprint left by the two color-level singers in time. I can only vaguely appreciate the nostalgia and sadness conveyed in the songs.
After a long time, the song ended, and Ranbeier came and sat down in front of Tilan. She was wearing cool clothes at the moment, and her previously pink eyes showed a gorgeous red in the dim candlelight.
"Tilan can indeed understand my song." Ranbeier blinked slightly, and then the red in her eyes dissipated and returned to the usual light pink color.
"I can understand a little bit, but I don't quite understand." The girl shook her head. She could see that there was something wrong with Ranbeier's bloodline. It was by no means an ordinary human subspecies.
"It's okay not to know the truth. If you know too much, you will carry a lot of baggage." She took out the wine glass on the table, poured the mellow and slightly fragrant wine, and took a sip.
"It's great to see someone like Tilan again." She sighed unconsciously.
"Why do you say that?" The girl tilted her head slightly.
"Because it's boring." Ranbeier smiled mysteriously.
"I have met many people, and most of them live in confusion, or are mediocre and ordinary, as if they are all the same, but Tilan is very special, as if thousands of people are leaning over the mud and stone crevices to find food. , a person suddenly stood up, so eye-catching, so special."
"I have a special premonition that you will change so many things that I'm starting to waver whether I want to have a relationship with you or not."
"Actually, you should be able to realize that our family is very special. Although I look only sixteen or seventeen years old, this is just the appearance."
"If Tilan has carefully understood the past events of the First Era, she will know that the first empire among humans at that time - the True Red Empire. Although the empire perished, there are still many descendants."
"The most prominent one among them founded the Cang Yue Kingdom in the Third Era, which was the predecessor of the Cang Cui Empire."
"However, there are also those less obvious branches that have been passed down in secret."
After drinking the red wine in the glass, Ranbei'er stood up, her body and skirt gently turning in the room. Dots of dark red light appeared, and her light pink nails also instantly appeared a gorgeous bright red. There are some afterimages left in the sky.
Stepping into the shadows in the corner of the room, Ranbei'er turned around, her eyes as clear and beautiful as rubies in the night.
"And I belong to one of the branches, with a bloodline that is almost immortal."
"When I invited you here before, I did have other thoughts. I wanted you to become a being like me. Although this is a bit troublesome and will arouse your disgust, I think you will understand me one day." She closed her eyes slightly as she spoke, and gently pressed her chest with one hand. Her bright red nails were particularly conspicuous on her fair chest.
"However, I just changed my mind. Although it is easy to break off a flower bud, it is difficult to see it bloom."
"Tilan is still very weak. It's a pity that she will be fixed here forever." She opened her fingers lightly, the red petals gathered together, and a blood-red rose made of magic appeared in the palm of her hand.
"So." The girl also stood up, her black hair fluttering in the night wind, and a slight blue appeared in her eyes. It seemed that in an instant, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.
Ranbeier did not answer, but looked directly at the girl with her eyes, the light floating in them, and there seemed to be layers of aperture shrinkage analysis in the pupils.
"I can let you go, and I can even assist you in the future and be your helper, but there are conditions." After she finished speaking, she moved forward in an instant. Although her body did not move, it was like moving, leaving a long Long afterimage.
Almost instantly, Ranbeier came behind the girl, and her fingers with bright red nails pressed lightly on Tilan's snow-white neck.
"What a pity. I thought you should be able to avoid it." There seemed to be some regret in her voice, as if she had discovered that a new toy was not as fun as expected.
"Hmph." The girl held the hand, then turned sharply. As she turned around, a dark blue thin sword made of magic appeared in her hand.
"Sure enough, it's still a little special." Ranbeier shook her somewhat stiff fingers, unexpectedly with a certain happiness, and then she was not in a hurry to attack, and waited patiently for the girl to complete her preparations.
The rapier was held in the girl's hand. Her body bowed slightly, and then her steps were like lightning. In an instant, three figures separated and attacked Ranbeier.
The blue sword blade flashed arcs of light for a moment in the night. Since returning from Jilou City, Tilan has made rapid progress in swordsmanship. Not only has she slowly absorbed the inherited skills of the 'Qinglian Sword Cleansing Palace', but also based on the current After improving and integrating various combat skills from later generations, even if she has not reached Sequence 7, it is not an exaggeration to call her a master in this field just by looking at swordsmanship.
The four long swords cooperated seamlessly and intertwined. Although Ranbei'er was extremely fast, she was also blocked from dodge space, so she had to use force to overcome the skill. The crimson debris bounced off the blue sword blade, and then she escaped.
Pulling away again, Ranbeier looked at Tilan with curiosity and surprise.
"Your swordsmanship is not as immature as your age. It can even be said to be close to those famous figures in history."
"Although I don't know how you mastered it, if you have a rank of Sequence 6, you might be able to threaten me."
"I'll test you two more times. If you can handle it, I'll admit defeat today and won't force you anymore."
After saying that, she closed her eyes slightly and stretched one hand into the void. A blood-red light ball floated, and countless air currents gathered into it with magic power.
Slowly, a blood-red and sharp spear emerged, with extremely complicated patterns on it. Just by looking at it, one knew that this magic spear was extremely dangerous, full of damage and curses.
"Magic Spear Kungunil!" Ranbeier's eyes suddenly opened, and gold seemed to appear in the bright red pupils. The pupils shrank, and then the spear was shot out.
In an instant, the only real one among the four figures was directly penetrated. The girl's expression seemed to be surprised and puzzled, and she slowly fell down with the blood hole on her chest.
Ranbeier shook her head slightly, as if feeling pity or apologizing, just as she was about to go over and take the girl deep into the castle to perform the blood inheritance ceremony.
The girl who fell in a pool of blood floated again, her figure in the air like swaying water waves, and an ethereal singing voice came from it.
In an instant, the golden illusion spread like ripples, and then spread in all directions in an instant. When Ranbeier saw her surroundings clearly again, she found that she was in a sea of golden flowers.
Countless golden roses were in full bloom all over the field. It was night, but the sunshine above was exceptionally bright. The distant wind brought the fragrance of flowers, and the golden petals shone under the sky, so brilliant and beautiful.
"Welcome to my garden."
A blond elf woman slowly descended from the air. She was wearing a slightly gorgeous dress, but her figure was a bit unreal and unreal.
"How... is this possible..." Ran Beier looked at the figure that every federal resident recognized and was almost speechless.
"Singer of the Golden Rose, Isenissa..."
