The words of the maiden's sacrifice made Lird even more silent, and this originally painful tragedy now seemed to suddenly become more complicated, if Dan was still prepared for the conflict with the British army, and now suddenly the German and Japanese sides appeared out of thin air, which made Liard's heart a few points heavier.

"Is it possible, then?" said Lird, hesitantly.

"Actually, we're still in a relatively safe state, and last night's attack may just be a... By chance. ”

The Maiden Priestess raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you saying that it was just a German fighter plane that accidentally spotted us last night and attacked us on a whim?"

The maiden priestess pondered for a moment and then shook her head and said: "This possibility is really not very likely, first of all, the Indian area is not the main attack area of the German army, and the German forces here are estimated to be able to stay with each other. In addition, most of the forces here belong to the British army, and although Japanese forces have begun to appear in the peripheral areas, it is unrealistic for them to penetrate in a short period of time. ”

"And there was no need for the Germans to help the Japanese for this, and no general would have thought that he could destroy the British line here with a single fighter. And if it was a reconnaissance plane, it would not have attacked us, and that would have been the judgment of a rational soldier. ”

The maiden priestess analyzed in an orderly manner, and listening to her words, Lird felt that there was indeed a lot of immaturity in his thinking.

"And—" The Maiden's eyes were filled with determination. "My intuition tells me that the purpose of the fighter plane that attacked us last night was very clear, and the time it discovered us to the time it attacked us was more like a well-prepared attack with a clear purpose and no hesitation. ”

Lird's mind couldn't help but recall the scene of last night, when the maiden priestess realized that there was danger approaching, she heard the sound of the plane, and then launched a bomb attack at the first time, judging from the situation at that time, the other party did not hesitate.

Thinking of this, Lird said: "So their aim is to destroy us in one fell swoop, but what enmity do we have with the Germans?"

The maiden priestess pondered again for a moment and then said, "I don't think this attack is intended to kill us, rather, it is more like a temptation. ”

"Temptation?" Lird puzzled.

The maiden priest nodded and said: "Whether the enemy is the British army, the German army or other forces, if you want to destroy our hundreds of people, it is still impossible to use a mere fighter jet, even if we don't evade standing in a group and let it attack, it will take a long time for it to attack, and it will not be unaware of this at all, and sending one or two more planes will get twice the result with half the effort in attacking each other and taking care of each other, and in reality, this method is indeed used, but it is not normal to do that lone wolf-like action." ”

Leard nodded again.

The maiden priest said: "So my conjecture now is that no matter which side of the attack is on us, it should be aware of our existence, and the suspicion of the disappearance of the entire British military town before is also aimed at us, and what happened last night was an act of temptation, maybe someone did it on purpose, the purpose is..."

The maiden priestess stopped at this point, and Lird didn't need to listen to his complete analysis to realize this possibility, and couldn't help but gasp at the moment.

If everything really turned out to be as expected by the maiden sacrifice, then the situation would be simply too bad!

The most intuitive result is that although his father Pym saved many of the remnants of Atlantis, he pushed the entire tribe to the brink of death on the other hand.

In this regard, the girl's sacrificial expression was rather plain and peaceful, and after she finished speaking, she gave Lird time to digest the contents, and on the other hand, she said that she had filled herself with a small bowl of cold soup and drank it slowly.

Lird swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said, "If that's the case, then we must get out of here quickly!"

The maiden priestess wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin again, and said with a wry smile: "Escape from here, where can we go now? Our plan was not realized at the beginning, but now there is still a chance?"

"But—" Lird tried to argue something, but the Maiden Priestess shook her head and said, "Don't try, it will only drain your last glimmer of hope." ”

Lird froze there, his whole being as if he had fallen into a river of arctic ice, and before he could react, he froze into a large lump of ice with the icy waters around him.

"Shall we just sit and wait to die?" finally Lird muttered softly.

"That's not your concern. The Maiden Priestess said lightly, her words stunned Liald, and he suddenly realized that perhaps what the Maiden Priest was going to say next was the crux of tonight's conversation.

"Whether we can escape from here or not, it is our destiny to survive or to perish, although we have lived in this world for more than 10,000 years, we have never really feared anything, and this time is the same! But... It's not your fate. ”

The Maiden Priestess said to Lird, "The reason why you are involved in these events is really an accident, and if it were not for Mr. Pym, you would never have had the slightest intersection with us." ”

"Although I was once suspicious of Mr. Pym's motives for insisting on you, after spending time with you, I have come to know that you are a completely simple and kind man, and that you have come out of your innocence. ”

"But even if you start to intersect with us, this intersection is only temporary, in the final analysis, you and I are people who belong to two completely different worlds, and the encounter is fate, but this fate has ended here. ”

Lird looked at the maiden sacrifice, and when he said that it was over, Lird spoke: "You... You want me to go?"

The maiden priestess nodded, then added, "It's good for you and me." ”

"But my father, he..."

The maiden priestess shook her head and interrupted Lird, "I don't think that's necessary anymore. ”

"For this we are deeply grateful and will always remember that Mr. Pym had paid a terrible price for our rescue, and that Mr. Pym's name will be recorded in the annals of history if our tribe had survived. But even so, I have to say that Mr. Pym has run out of oil and has no room for salvation, and now all my efforts have been to keep him alive as long as possible, and to put it bluntly, just barely maintain his life. ”

"I didn't lie to you when I told him that he had about ten days to live, but I have no confidence that Mr. Pym will come to his senses during those ten days. Maybe he'll be in this slumber and he'll be dead, and I don't think it's a bad ending, at least not for him. ”

When the maiden priestess said this, her face showed tiredness and guilt.

"That's how Mr. Pym ended, but I don't want you to be implicated as well," the maiden priestess said slowly, her usually cold eyes flickering a few times.

"No! I can't accept your claim!" said Lird, who was almost on his feet, and said to the maiden with wide eyes, "I believe that my father will wake up?"

"And then?" said the maiden priestess, looking coldly at Lird.

"What is the value of Mr. Pym now being refreshed, maybe your father and son will be reunited again, maybe you will hug each other and cry with joy, and you will be touched by your trust and care for each other, but what is the use of this?"

"Mr. Pym's life is no longer prolonged, and every moment here is full of danger, maybe the next moment thousands of planes will loom over our heads, and 10,000 tons of gunpowder will instantly raze this place to the ground, do you still think your persistence is worth it?"

After saying that, the maiden priestess paused and continued: "I understand your feelings, but please also see the reality clearly. It can be said that you have spent a very precious and happy time with Mr. Pym during this time, although it is very short for you, but it should be enough to write a page in your life memory, and whenever you recall this time, you are happy. ”

"Don't think that your departure is cowardly, cowardly, you are very brave, you have not escaped or abandoned anything, because everything here has nothing to do with you in the first place, you and we are just passers-by in each other's lives, there is no need to force this fate to continue, maybe we will meet again after a certain future, and it will be enough for us to meet and smile at that time. ”

"Trust me, it's your best bet to leave here, even if Mr. Pym is fresh now, he will definitely agree with me. ”

The anger in Lird's heart had already dissipated, and at this time he was just quietly looking at the maiden sacrifice in front of him.

At some point, Lird felt that the girl in front of him was very strange, different from the solemnity and coldness she felt when she first met her, and different from the decisiveness and simplicity with which she made her decisions.

At the same time, Lird also felt that the girl in front of him was particularly familiar and kind, she was the friend who would play chess with him, and would inadvertently reveal the character and emotions of his little woman, and now he had said so many truths and persuasions to himself in one breath, the purpose of which was only to keep himself safe.

At this moment, Liard's heart felt warm and unusually throbbing.

"You... What's your name?"

Just when the maiden priest was bitterly trying to persuade Lird, Lird suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made the maiden sacrifice stunned on the spot for an instant, and looked at Lird in confusion.

"We've known each other for a short time, but I don't know your name yet. Lird said as he looked earnestly at the maiden priest.

"It's... Does it have anything to do with the matter at hand?" said the maiden priest to Lird after a moment.

"It's okay, it's just that I suddenly want to know. Lird said with the same seriousness.

The maiden priest couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard this, and when she was about to reject Lird, Lird suddenly spoke: "Actually, it's not unrelated, I'm thinking that if I leave here, I will recall the events here again after many years, and I will definitely not be able to bypass you, and at that time I will be very entangled in your name, and I want to remember a person whose name will never be known in my mind, this feeling is very bad." ”

The maiden priestess looked at Lird, and after a moment two blush spread across her face.

"Ahem... What are you talking about?" the maiden priestess turned her head slightly sideways, revealing a look of disdain, but her squirming movements were really more like a young girl who felt shy in the face of the person she wanted.

Naturally, Lird, who had always been stupid in this regard, was not aware of this, but he still stared at the maiden sacrifice with obsessiveness and earnestness, as if it wanted to be firmly engraved in his mind.

"That's... If I tell you my name, will you leave?" until this time, the maiden priest had not forgotten her purpose.

"I'll think about it. Lird said earnestly.

"It's not a consideration, it's a certainty!" corrected the Maiden, but this time her voice was surprisingly low.

Lird did not answer the maiden sacrifice, but looked at the beautiful face with burning eyes.

"Qian... Qianrou..."

"Qianrou?" Lird repeated.

"Well, that's my name. The maiden priestess whispered.

"Funny name, sounds very... Moving. Lird didn't understand the name of the maiden's sacrifice for a while, but with his intuition, he could still feel the meaning behind the name.

"Oh, you really talk a lot!" The maiden priest suddenly widened her eyes to reveal a fierce look, but her fangs and claws showed a girlish cuteness at the moment.

Lird nodded, then stood up and walked out the door.

"Hey, where are you going?" the maiden priest, and it was Qianrou who shouted to Lird.

"Go see my father. Lird said without looking back.

Qian Rou was stunned when she heard this, and then said urgently: "Then make a final farewell! I will send someone to see you off here early tomorrow morning!"

This time Lird didn't answer her.

When Lird completely left the inner tent, Qianrou sat down slightly, and an extremely lonely affection gradually appeared on her face, and she looked at the door in a daze and finally whispered: "This... It's all for your own good..."

...

Lird, who had left the tent of Qianrou, hurried straight to his father Pym's tent, and after he resisted, he said to the two white-clothed girls who were taking care of his father in the tent, "I want to stay alone with my father for a while, can you leave for a while?"

The two white-clothed girls obviously didn't understand Lird's words, but they understood a thing or two about his gestures, so they got up and left the tent.

After the two left, Lird walked to his father's bedside, then crouched down, and looked at his father's weak, sleeping face, and Lird breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, although I still don't quite understand why you stayed, I have found a reason for my stay, and I understand you to a certain extent. ”

"Father, I want to save here!"
