"Boom!"
Lightning flashed across the gray sky, followed by thunder followed by torrential downpours.
The small town of Saya has been rainy and rainy these past few days. When a heavy rain comes, it seems that I have finally found a breakthrough to vent my feelings that have been suppressed for a long time.
The heavy rain persuaded the few people who were still outside the town to retreat home, and a group of people entered the town through the rain curtain.
The residents who were running towards their homes in the rain looked at this team in surprise. It was a team of knights, all wearing heavy armor, and the horses were tall and strong. One of the leading knights was holding a flag with a scepter logo on it.
"It's a knight from the Royal City." The residents taking shelter under the eaves whispered, "We haven't seen a regular army for a long time. It's probably because there are more and more monsters around. We thought the Royal City wouldn't care about a small place like ours. "
"Who knows, although there are more and more monsters, I always feel that our place is quite safe. No monsters have ever entered our town, as long as they don't wander too far away."
"This is only temporary. We might come in at any time. It would be best if there are warlocks to protect us."
"Isn't there someone protecting it?" the resident said, pointing in a certain direction, "I heard that there is a witch living there. It is probably because of her presence that no monsters came in."
The people next to him sneered at this, "Witches don't always deal with monsters. Do you really believe that witches will protect us? I heard that witches are all believers of the evil god. There has been a lot of commotion among the followers of the evil god recently. Maybe these knights from the royal city are here just for this. .”
"I heard that many witches were arrested a long time ago because of the followers of the evil god. There shouldn't be any witches in our town, right? I often go hunting in the woods, but I haven't seen any witches."
"...."
The leading knight stopped and glanced at the residents under the eaves.
The knight next to him looked at him, "What's wrong, Ax?"
Aix looked at the town shrouded in heavy rain and fog, spread his palms, and a golden magic seal rose from his hands.
The shining curse seal slowly turned in his hand, and a ray of red light gradually emerged from the curse seal.
Seeing this ray of red light, Aix closed his palm and said to the others: "Find a place to stay here temporarily, set up a defensive magic circle, and find out if there is a church here."
"yes."
Cabin in the woods.
The heavy rain came and went quickly, and the air was moist after a heavy rain. Xiao Zhimiao stood in front of the rose bushes outside the house, looking at the blank tombstone in front of her in trance.
The last time the cabin was destroyed during the fight with Seannia and the others, Zhenxing replanted roses and roses in front of her skeletal grave. Now the tombstone was covered with red roses.
"Who is buried here?" Li Yin walked behind Xiao Zhimiao and asked.
"Me." Xiao Zhimiao pinched the rose petals in her hands. The flower juice dyed her hands red, and the rich floral fragrance came out.
Li Yin looked at the tombstone without any name engraved on it and was silent for a while, "I thought you would fulfill your wish after you go out."
"Wish?" Xiao Zhimiao threw away the scattered rose petals in his hand, "This is not a wish, it is an ideal that is almost impossible to realize."
Speaking of this, she smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness in her smile, "Don't you think it's strange and ridiculous for people like me to talk about ideals? In the eyes of others, I am just a weird and terrifying evil god, and I usually wear He wears a gentle mask, but he is actually a cold-blooded person at heart.”
"Hyenas are in groups, tigers are alone. You don't need to care about other people's thoughts and opinions. With your personality, you won't actually care, at least not now, right?"
Li Yin walked to Xiao Zhimiao and stood side by side with her, "Seeing you reminds me of someone."
"who?"
"You should still remember that in the Bone Wasteland of the Abyss, the evil eater we prepared to kill for a long time. He was once a prince of a country, with an almost impossible ideal. He protected the last kingdom in the abyss. , saves and protects the people, do you think it is darkness that defeats him?"
"No, the people who defeated him and made him willing to fall into darkness were the subjects he protected."
Li Yin took her hand and wiped the rose juice on her hand bit by bit, "I would rather see you ruthless, with your hands covered in blood, trampling everything under your feet, and making everyone surrender to you. , to control everything, and I don’t want you to be bound by emotions, doubt yourself, or hesitate.”
"It doesn't matter how others judge you, judge you, let them fear Scythia, the one who yells is the weakest and easiest to defeat."
Xiao Zhimiao stared at him for a while and said, "You seem to be a little different after you came out of the abyss."
The corners of Li Yin's mouth raised. Although it was a doll's body, his expression was very vivid. He looked at Xiao Zhimiao with gleaming eyes, "Because the past me has been buried together with the abyss. It was you who saved my soul. You brought me to a new world."
"Now, you are my only king. You never have to worry about no one behind you. Maybe everyone will betray you, but I won't."
Li Yin put her hand on his chest, "You can feel that my soul has your mark on it, right? If you still don't believe it, then Xu Zhilan is the best proof. "
When Xu Zhilan was mentioned, Xiao Zhimiao twitched the corner of his mouth, "How do you explain to him that he is your clone? I won't tell him, he will know sooner or later."
Li Yin smiled: "You also said that he will know sooner or later. If he knows, he will know what he can do. His soul is bound to you, and he can only cry twice and throw himself on the ground."
Xiao Zhimiao's mood improved inexplicably when he thought of that scene, "You know him well. After all, he is your clone. He is still very similar in some aspects."
Hearing her tone become lighter, Li Yin looked at her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He had just heard her and Xie Zhi's inquiries in the room, and he gradually learned some things about her.
But it wasn't Xie Zhi that made her depressed at the moment. What she cared about was his brother. This was her weakness and the person who would make her fearful.
"I'm curious why you didn't kill him and why you didn't use him." Li Yin asked her.
Xiao Zhimiao said to Li Yin: "Do you know why my brother chose to express his gratitude?"
"Choose?" Li Yin was a little confused.
When Xiao Zhimiao asked Xie Zhi, he listened to the whole process. From Xie Zhi's memories, Shi Yunxiao met him by chance, but Xiao Zhimiao said that Shi Yunxiao chose Xie Zhi.
"Xie Zhi is right. I did have that thought. I was afraid that my brother was not who I imagined, and some of my inner understanding of him would be shaken. But I still believe in him. He may have another side, but facing me This side of him is not fake. I don’t need to doubt his character because of his differences in front of other people. He can be kind, but he doesn’t need to be kind all the time. No one is purely good and no one is purely evil. , this world is inherently dark.”
