For a moment, Zhou Li was in a daze. He seemed to see a high-spirited Eluma in knight armor standing with a sword, looking at him with soft eyes.
He saw Eluma in simple clothes, with the money bag given to her by Zhou Li on her waist, her face tilted and smiling shyly.
Full of guilt and apology, Eluma pursed her lips and stared at herself blankly, her eyes sparkling.
Wearing a gorgeous black dress, with long black satin-like hair hanging behind her, she is as beautiful as the deep Milky Way. Eluma reached out her hand and gently stroked Zhou Li's cheek, her eyes full of love and affection.
"Protect her."
With a soft voice, Eluma felt the warmth of Zhou Li's body, her eyebrows filled with nostalgia, "She is our sister, the most beautiful existence we have created, and also our hope."
"I will."
Zhou Li's voice was a little dry. Even though the memory was long gone, his soul was engraved with traces of time. He didn't know why the "Eluma" in front of him reappeared, but the gradually fading blackness in her eyes proved that this was not the so-called "body seizing" or "possession". As elegant and cunning as a black cat, she never left Zhou even for a joke. She had been talking to herself as Eluma in four time and space.
She was giving her last words.
Destroy the four souls, create a new soul, and give Zhou Li the ability to rebirth. This is the kind of trust that can only be gained by the bond between two people in four different time and space. "Eluma" gave herself not only a flawless self, but also a more precious thing.
hope.
Zhou Li did not ask "Why did you reappear", nor did he ask for clues about the four time and space. Now, he just gently hugged Eluma in front of him, closed his eyes, and asked softly:
"Do you have any other wishes?"
After hearing Zhou Li's inquiry, Eluma raised the corners of her mouth slightly, placed her cheek against Zhou Li's chest, and listened carefully to the familiar heartbeat. After a long time, Eluma shook her head, her voice a little weak:
"That's good...that's good."
"When I became the Black Queen, you didn't hold me like this anymore."
She didn't complain, only had a touch of regret. However, when she felt Zhou Li's embrace, this last regret disappeared. At this time, "Eluma" no longer had the demeanor of the Black Queen. She was like a girl next door, talking about her family's shortcomings to her beloved, as if this satisfied her.
"You were so stubborn back then. When I wanted to transfer one-third of Yingnan's tax revenue to Muqi and let them build the first front, you refused me on the grounds that the people of Yingnan had no enough food to eat. The proposal was made to me, and I talked about it for a long time.”
Zhou Li chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said to Eluma: "One-third is not enough. We can make a clever name and ask the Yingnan people to donate a sum first, and then force the rich to donate together, and the resulting money will be divided into 70 cents. Use it to build forts, and the remaining three points will be returned to the people.”
"You also said that I was too tyrannical and completely deprived the nobles of their rights and reputations, even the more innocent nobles."
With a slightly angry tone, Eluma complained softly: "Obviously you and I depend on Twelve Hours for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but you still don't waste any time on your stubbornness."
"The nobles in this world have always been the mainstay. Cutting them off rashly will definitely cause shock."
As if everyone had gathered together, Zhou Li said carefully with a faint smile: "We should first collect a group of nobles who are not good at public service, and then win over the middle-level nobles who are willing to join us, and finally Form a new force and slowly eat away at the great aristocracy."
Listening to Zhou Li, who was talking to herself and every word coincided with hers, Eluma chuckled and said, "You also said that I don't love the people of this world."
Gu Zhuo
"I don't like it either."
Zhou Li shrugged and said confidently: "Letting you come back to Earth with me is the main line. Saving the world is just a side mission, just a convenience."
"You know? In that time and space, you are the only person I can trust."
Before Zhou Li could speak, Eluma stretched out her finger, lightly tapped the corner of his lips, and said softly: "Only this, you are not allowed to be like me."
"You should be the hero who saves the world, surrounded by the applause and admiration of everyone. You should have close friends and partners who are willing to sacrifice for you."
"You have me, and you should have more good things."
Black light flashed in his eyes, and sky-blue clouds gradually dispersed in Eluma's eyes. She seemed to sense something, a little sad, but more relieved and happy. She stared at Zhou Li, and her gaze seemed to carve him into her soul, it was extremely profound.
"The Gospels want to infinitely expand the dark side in Eluma's heart, let your Black Emperor's authority run rampant, and create opportunities for it.
But it never thought that the only darkness in Eluma's heart was the nostalgia for you as our broken souls. "
Walking out of Zhou Li's arms, Eluma stood in the moonlight falling on the ground outside the window. The warm white waterfall fell on the girl in the black dress, carving her into a beautiful treasure.
"By the way, do you still remember the eldest prince and the others?"
Holding her hands behind her back, Eluma smiled and said to Zhou Li with memories: "The eldest prince and second princess of Talis, they all died for us in the four time and space. If I guessed correctly, he also Helped you, right?"
After hearing the familiar name, a look of sadness appeared on Zhou Li's face. He nodded and said, "Of course, if it weren't for them, I would have died in the war."
"In this life, go meet them and protect them."
The black light in Eluma's eyes gradually dimmed, and she still had endless words to say. She remembered the endless debates Zhou Li had with her, and how she always brought sweet milk to comfort Zhou Li after the debate. She recalled how she was swallowed by the black mist when she was in charge of the Black Emperor, and how Zhou Li rescued her from the black mist regardless of how his hands were corroded into white bones.
She thought of a lot, and even one day Zhou Li smiled at herself for a long time and she wanted to talk about it.
"I gotta go."
After thinking for a while, Eluma shook her head, "No, we are leaving."
"Will you come back?"
Facing Zhou Li's inquiry, Eluma stepped forward and gently tapped his eyebrow with her finger. She looked at Zhou Li and said calmly: "Eluma will always be with you."
"Is it forever?"
The black light flashed at the end, like a meteor passing by, leaving a brilliant tail flame.
"Until the world collapses and everything is destroyed."
