Chapter Ninety-Five: Irene's Dedication

When she heard this, not only Enerys and Regner, but even Angelista, who had been with Erin for ten years, was stunned for a moment. The Dark Elf had never known that Erin still had such a thing in her hands, and the half-elf had watched herself transform from an able-bodied girl into a blind and deaf cripple with both ears and paralyzed limbs for ten years. But even so, she is still strong and brave in the face of cruel life with a smile, and has been holding on to the biggest secret in her heart day after day for ten years. Just waiting for that person to reappear.

And now, that man has returned, and Erin has finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the soul stone she had carefully kept for ten years to Regner. Erin didn't know what such a soul stone was for, even though she had been a high-ranking priest ten years ago, the half-elves had never heard of any magic that could bring the dead back to life. I haven't heard of it, but that doesn't mean I haven't. Therefore, she has been carefully guarding Annelot's soul stone for the past ten years, in order to leave Regner with hope, even if it is extremely slim.

It took a minute for Regner to finally realize what Irene was talking about, he looked up at Erin in a wheelchair in disbelief, and then suddenly jumped up, he paused, then very carefully held the hand of the half-elf holding the soul gem, and then asked tremblingly, "Erin...... Is what you're saying true? You say here...... There's Anne's ...... in it Souls? Is this true? Is this really true?"

"Brother, Sister Erin can't hear!" Enilis, too, frowned with joy, but she was much calmer than Regner.

"Oooh!" Regner reacted, first squeezing Erin's hand and motioning for her to put away the soul gem, and then writing the words he had just asked on Erin's back.

"Of course it's true!" Erin nodded with great certainty, and she said, "This is a gift from Perot, and the sun god will not deceive people!"

"Perro?" Regner calmed down a lot when he heard the name of the sun god, he was silent for a while, and then his face suddenly became gloomy. Regner continued to ask on Erin's back, "Erin, this has a price, doesn't it?"

......The smile on the half-elf's face froze for a moment, and then she laughed again casually: "Why is my brother asking so much? Anyway, Sister Annie's soul gem is absolutely not wrong, that's enough!"

"It comes at a price, isn't it!" Regner repeated the question, even adding extra characters at the end to enhance the tone of the wording, so that Irene could not see his look or hear his tone, so Ragner could only show his insistence on the question in this way.

"......" Erin was silent again, the smile on her face gradually subsided, and her mood also sank.

"Answer me!" Regner asked again.

"Brother......" Innielis also noticed the change in Regner's mood, but she didn't know why. Why did Regner's attitude change so much when Irene mentioned Perrault?

"I'm sorry, brother......" Erin was silent for a moment and finally confessed: "Erin's power is limited, I only collected half of Sister Anne's soul back then. ”

"At what cost?" Regner insisted on asking the original question.

Erin smiled reluctantly before saying, "Brother, you should know something about gods, right? God doesn't give things to mortals for no reason." Mortals who want to get something from God must pay a corresponding price. And the price of being able to get a soul...... Isn't it just a soul?"

Regner and Enrilees' faces turned white all of a sudden, and Enerys came behind Erin and asked tremblingly, "Sister Erin......"

"Little Ini, don't ask. Erin was able to distinguish between Regnar and Enerys just by the different forces between her fingers, and she whispered, "Pero has been kind enough to me, he doesn't take half of my soul immediately, but makes me pay a small amount of soul every once in a while. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived Brother Regner finding me. ”

"Erin......" Regner hugged Erin's neck, I don't know how many times he cried today. Understood, he finally understood why Erin was gradually becoming a cripple. Because Pero collects a part of Erin's soul every year, and the mutilated soul will affect people's perception and manipulation of the body. That's why Erin gradually became what she is now. If Perot really took half of Erin's soul at once, I'm afraid that the current Erin will become an unconscious vegetative person.

"Brother, don't cry!" Erin reached out and touched Regner's head with a fumbling feeling, and then said as if coaxing a child, "Erin will always be with her brother, and so will little Ini, and Sister Anne, she will come back too." So my brother has to be strong, he has to work hard, and his life will get better and better. ”

"Yes, yes!" Regner held back tears, then rubbed his eyes as if he were fierce, but still said with tears in his voice, "Thank you, Erin...... Thank you...... Thank you!"

The half-elf seemed to hear Regner's thanks, and the same sunny smile appeared on her face as ten years ago, and she said happily: "Brother is the whole of Erin's life! But my brother is not allowed to dislike Erin as a wasted person! If you dare to Erin, you see how Sister Anne will clean you up when she comes back in the future!"

"No, absolutely not!" Regner hugged Erin and Innerys, and the three of them hugged each other for a while and cried and laughed for a while, which seemed a little strange to Alexander in the distance.

"Is it really the blood of the dark elves that flows from your body......" Angelista on the side also looked at Erin with extremely complicated eyes, and an inexplicable emotion grew in the heart of the dark elves. Angelista had experienced this emotion a little ten years ago, and today, the female mage could feel it with great clarity, and it was surging and almost drowning her entire mind.

The Dark Elf involuntarily raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and it was only then that Angelista realized that she was crying.

"I didn't expect that I would cry because of this kind of thing!" Angelista thought with a bit of self-deprecation, "This is what humans call ...... Impressed?"

Living in the human world for more than ten years has changed Angelista a lot, but from beginning to end, Angelista has always regarded herself as a dark elf, but today, Angelista unexpectedly feels that she seems to be more like a human than her original cold and cunning people. This made Angelista very curious and happy.

Maybe it's because I'm still interested in Regner's story, or maybe I can't bear to let the emotion in my heart easily dissipate. Anyway, when Angelista saw Alexander rushing at him again, she did something that ordinary dark elves would never do. Angelista teleported to Alexander, she used her psionic energy to block Alexander, and then asked with a smile, "I think the feud between you is over, my majesty, what are you going to do in the past?"
