Chapter 149: The Moment of the Duel 3
The roof of the "Fraor" bar flickered in the light of red and green fireworks, and it was easy to break through the iron gate, and a light figure quickly flashed in, and Freya, holding an electric stun baton, "Electric Ridge", was like a violet blooming in the dark night in the purple arc light.
The black and gray skirt swayed in the night, and Freya, dressed in a student uniform, exuded a tranquil and seductive beauty, her willow-like eyebrows raised high, and a pair of beautiful eyes cautiously swept over every corner of the rooftop that might hide people.
The tall buildings and low mountains in the distance are outlined by lanterns and fireworks, like the Templars in the dark night saving the princess who has been snatched by the evil dragon, and I don't know how many couples will make a promise to each other on such a wonderful night.
The low weeping clouds are also dimly illuminated, the sea fog is gradually rising, and the city of Xinlan is bathed in a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, but in the places that most people can't see, there are many nameless people who carry their burdens in obscurity to maintain the peace of the city.
"Andrey, can you see the rooftop of the 'Fraor' bar from your direction?" Freya asked in a whisper from behind a large light sign, into the mini-communicator.
The sound of electricity sounded, and then Andrei's voice rang out in his ears.
"Senior sister, I can see it, but... Well... "The sea fog is starting to spread in the city again, and it's a big disturbance to the view, do you have any new discoveries there?"
"Just see it, tell me, is there a second person on the rooftop besides me, or is there anyone else hiding here?"
"Senior sister, you wait a minute, I'll turn on the infrared device to probe. β
After only a while, Andre quickly replied: "Senior sister, I've seen it all, there shouldn't be a second person, I can only see you hiding behind the light sign, the distance is too far, I can only see a rough look." β
"Well, stay on your toes, that guy named Kasa could escape from all directions of the 'Fraor' bar at any time. β
"Yes, senior sister. β
A silver-plated bullet was loaded, and the beautiful mechanical transmission sound of "Orion" sounded from the headphones.
Just as Andre closed his high-tech glasses, he paused abruptly, followed by a sound of doubt.
"Hey, did I just see a faint heat source at the entrance? Could it be the ashes scattered after the fireworks exploded?" Andre frowned, "No, it's better to confirm." β
Immediately afterwards, AndrΓ© opened his high-tech glasses again, and saw that there was still a humanoid heat source on the roof of the "Fraor" bar, and even Freya had already quietly left her original position.
"Strange," Andre said to himself, "did you leave so soon, Senior Sister is really a quick temper." β
The fog creeps up at a low altitude, the gaps between the tall buildings begin to blur, and Andrei's job as a sniper begins to become more and more difficult.
However, the real situation on the rooftop of "Fraor" deceived his eyes.
In an open-air swimming pool on the rooftop, a graceful body floated above the surface of the water in the surging water, allowing the current to carry her everywhere.
The figure was none other than Freya, and after she finished her call with Andre, her eyes suddenly became distracted, and a white fox flashed in her eyes, and then she walked straight to the cold water, and then lay down straight.
Freya floats like a water lily on the pond, but in her mind it is a replay of the past.
"Sister, where is my sister going? Xiaoya don't want to be separated from her sister!" a young girl tightly tugged at the corner of an eighteen-year-old girl's clothes, and her teary eyes looked very pitiful.
In an elaborate room, two radiant girls hug each other, the older of whom wears elaborate makeup, a white trailing gauze dress, and a sparkling silver crown on her head to represent her imminent marriage.
And the crying little girl was calling her sister softly, her pink face was full of tears.
Outside the door was the sound of rising music and a crowd of costumed guests, apparently for the engagement ceremony.
"Sister, Xiaoya wants to be with her sister!"
"Xiao Ya, my sister will often come back to the city-state of Terra to see you, you must know it obediently at home, and don't make your father and mother angry. As she spoke, the girl's eyes also became rosy.
"Sister, don't marry that villain, it's okay, my sister obviously likes the elder brother of the guard, and Xiaoya also likes the elder brother of the guard, why doesn't my sister stay with my brother, he will definitely be sad. β
"Xiaoya!" the girl's voice suddenly raised, but it turned low, "Riley and I are not suitable, we are destined to be impossible to be together..."
"Why?!"
"The city-state of Gro is the most powerful city-state that has signed a contract with the Joses Empire, and it is also the most powerful city-state in our region, and as a weak city-state of Terra, only by being friendly with the city-state of Gro can it be possible not to be bullied by other city-states under the protection of the city-state of Gro," the girl's eyes were full of determination, "Although the seven princes of the city-state of Gro are not serious guys, only the marriage of my sister can ensure the stability of the people of the city-state of Terra, and this deal is worth it no matter how you look at it." β
"Sister, can love also be traded?"
"Xiaoya, when you grow up, you will know that it is not so easy to protect the people, don't blame the father and the queen mother, they are also a last resort," the girl took off the silver crown and put it on little Freya's head, "Sister pinned all her hopes on you, you must try to protect the Terra city-state with your sister's faith, if you can, my sister hopes that the Terra city-state can go to its former glory again with your help, at least no longer be bullied by other city-states." β
"What about my sister?"
"It's been like this for the rest of my life, how dare I have any extravagance?" the girl smiled sadly, "When I'm gone, remember to tell Riley to let him forget about me, there must be a better girl waiting for him in this world, he's a good man, but... It's just that I'm not worthy of him..."
"Sister... Sister, don't say that..."
The two girls hugged each other again, and a slight sobbing echoed through the room, but in the blink of an eye, it was drowned out by the celebratory voices of the crowd outside...
The memories of the past replayed before her eyes, and Freya, who was standing alone in front of the door, watched it all as if she were a spirit.
Young Freya and her sister can't see themselves at all, and they can't perceive themselves.
Then the door opened, and girls in light red and white jackets walked in through the door, and one by one they passed through Freya's "body" and walked towards the two girls beside the bed.
"Sister, can you not go..."
Freya felt the coldness around her body, and the picture in front of her was a little distorted, and she knew that after this parting, young Xiaoya would never see her sister again, because the girl next to her who was about to intermarry with a Gentile would soon go to heaven forever, with a concern and nostalgia for this world, completely away from pain and suffering.
Seeing the girl in the white veil being greeted into the luxurious carriage surrounded by the maids, the lewd-faced man rubbed his hands and looked at the beautiful girl unscrupulously, with an obscene smile on the corner of his mouth, and did not forget to look at the young Freya before climbing into the carriage.
The weeping little girl leaned against the porch, the handsome young man in iron armor standing on the high platform held the iron sword and held the hand of the iron sword and trembled, the middle-aged man and woman with haggard faces watched the convoy slowly move away, and then fell to the throne in distraction, and the joyful guests under the high platform were celebrating the new year unscrupulously...
Who would have thought that the so-called "wedding" was just another way of saying goodbye.
"Sister, sister, sister..."
Everything that happened here was seen by Freya, and she wanted to stop her sister from leaving the city-state of Terra, but she couldn't move, she tried her best to cry but couldn't make a sound, she could only watch the flower swaying in the wind and snow being blown into slush little by little...
Freya was deeply immersed in the memories and couldn't extricate herself, but at this time, Al in the prop room also froze in place, with a fox tail flashing in her eyes.
Al seemed to have forgotten what exhaustion was as he ran through the Green Valley Forest, and his eyes were fixed on the two figures walking in the forest in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with them.
He didn't care about the "steel bone" left on his left arm on the way to attack, he didn't care if his clothes were soaked with sweat, and Al only had one thought was to catch up with those two people and see their appearance clearly, even for a second.
Al didn't know when or where he had seen the two men, but he just felt so familiar, a sense of intimacy in his blood that made him desperate to follow.
From time to time, all kinds of small animals in the deep jungle ran away in panic, and even when he encountered the brown bear-like beast Al, he would knock them to the ground with a punch, and nothing could stop him from chasing the former.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
Tears welled up in Al's eyes, and two unfamiliar words came out of his mouth mixed with gasps.
I don't know if Al's words stimulated the two people or some other reason, but the two of them, who were flying fast, suddenly stopped.
"Daddy, Mommy, is that you? I'm Al!" Al was so tired that he almost fell to the ground.
"Al?" the man's voice was full of confusion, "We don't know any El, you must have mistaken someone." β
"Paul, Uncle Paul you should know me! I'm the orphan who was raised by Uncle Paul!"
Al said eagerly, I don't know why he has an inexplicable obsession in his heart, and he always feels that these two people are his parents who have never met.
"Paul?" said the woman, her voice soft, "Paul the blacksmith of Nack?"
"Yes, it's Paul!" Al said in surprise, "You finally remember?!"
"Well, we're not familiar with that Paul you're talking about, I'm sorry, we still have something to go first. β
"Why?!" Al snarled emotionally, "Why don't you want to recognize me, is it because I was born different from other children, or did you never intend to keep me in the first place!"
The two men in front of them seemed to be touched by Al's words, and they looked at each other.
"There is always someone in this world who loves you, child, and you are not alone. β
"No, I want a father and mother who love me, too! But the reality is that I don't even know what they look like!"
"Do you really want to know what your parents look like?" the woman asked in a flat tone.
"Well, even a glance..."
In the next second, something unexpected happened to El.
The middle-aged man and woman seemed to have made some decision, and the two of them turned around slowly.
Could it be that they are really Al's parents?
Full of anticipation, Al wiped the tears from his cheeks, quietly looking forward to this fleeting moment of happiness.
However, what really awaited Al was not happiness, but a thunderbolt from the sky, and the huge shock directly made Al fall to the ground, and even made him shrink up in fear.
Because where are the expected parents in front of them, they are clearly two "faceless people", and their so-called "faces" do not have any traces of facial features, as if they have been gently erased by God, and there is nothing else except a human skin.
"Well, I don't know if you're still satisfied with such parents? β
