Chapter 20: Escape from the Imperial Capital
In the following period, only by constantly stepping up training can we live longer when the catastrophe comes.
The city went from panic to despair to numbness, and strangely enough, all this time, the king of the empire did not come forward to say anything, only the elders would maintain order.
Some people don't want to wait for death to start fleeing, but those people haven't heard back after a few days, if there is a way, it would be good if they could leave here in an instant and reach another place on the continent, and some people began to fantasize that it was not impossible, but their country did not have such a strength of space magicians and magic circles.
In the final analysis, the national strength is still weak, why does the crack in the demon world appear in such a few small countries? No one knows.
At present, no one has encountered a demon who has a clear mind and can communicate, the reason is unknown, and it is impossible to make peace, except for harmless and sane animals, the demons will torture and kill almost every creature they see.
In a few more days, Elsie saw Doro less and less. After the last trip to church with Doro, she never went out again. Dylan: They start training every day as soon as they wake up.
Elsie practiced her spells desperately, and since that day, her success rate has been getting higher and higher, and she seems to have a faint sense of handy.
......
Churches, divination rooms.
Everywhere, you can see that the candle flame that has always been bright has been extinguished for some reason, and only a crystal ball in the center is floating and heavy, emitting a flickering white light.
It was pitch black all around, only a small area in the middle was lit up by the orb, and the light reflected on the fair face next to him, Enzo's eyes were fixed on the crystal ball, his expression was serious, and his lips were pursed.
As if after a second thought, he raised his arms and stretched out two slender hands from his broad robes, his hands resting on the orb, Enzo closing his eyes and muttering mysterious spells. As he chanted, the ten fingers of his hands gradually dispersed into a slender and illusory stream of white light, merging into the crystal ball, and as he was pulled out, his expression became more and more painful, but the crystal ball did not react.
This sentence suddenly flashed in Enzo's mind, he frowned, the white light flow in his hand suddenly increased a few points, and the flow speed also increased instantly, Enzo's long hair and robe danced without wind.
"Here you go! Give it all to you! Just tell me! How to stop this! How to save Atlantis!" As these words were shouted, Enzo's face instantly turned old, he couldn't support it, his hands were already forced to press on the crystal ball, and the dark room was suddenly brightly lit!
The crystal ball exploded ——!with a thud, and Enzo fell to his knees as if out of strength, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
The surrounding bookshelves were shaken by air waves, countless classics were shattered and fluttered, fragments of crystal balls fell to the ground ping-pong, white light was extinguished little by little, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Enzo stared blankly at the floor, "Unexpectedly...... That's it..."
"Master!" the door to the divination room slammed open, letting in the light. Lily rushed in in a panic, saw Enzo kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly came over to help.
"Master, what's wrong with you?!I just heard an explosion, that's why—" Lily's words came to an abrupt halt as she looked at Enzo's raised face,
Your face ......"
Enzo gave a gentle smile, but it was a smile with a shocking blood stain on his lips, and it was uncomfortable to look at.
"Lily, I'm fine. ”
Lily blinked, tears began to fall, uneasiness and worry filled her heart, "What's wrong? What the hell is going on?" How could a master who had always been strong and gentle suddenly become so weak and old?
"Lily, don't cry. Enzo lifted a hand with difficulty and wiped the tears from Lily's face with his sleeve, and Lily was terrified and cried as if she was extremely uneasy.
"Lily, calm down. Don't you dislike it the most when I call you a child, you say you've grown up and you're a solo adult, right?" Enzo gently comforted her.
Lily wiped her face twice, sobbed and said, "I'...... It's ......"
"Now I have something for you to do, I believe you can do it, will you help me?"
"I... Whining... Okay, Master, you say—" Lily nodded incessantly, feeling the Master in her hands getting heavier and heavier, and she had to hold Enzo's body with her shoulders to keep him from falling.
"You go and shout for me," Enzo moved his throat and was silent for a moment, "shout... Doro, let him come, I have something to tell him. ”
Lily's tears were about to fall again, "What are you going to do......, Master?" I can't leave you behind...... I'm going to the doctor. She felt that Enzo was getting weaker and weaker.
"Lily!" Enzo shouted loudly, "This is very important, it can save a lot of people, I can hold on, you can do it, okay?"
Lily looked into Enzo's eyes, as if she also understood the importance of the matter, hesitated, she nodded, "Okay! I'll be back soon, master, you must hold on!"
Enzo smiled softly, "Hmm." ”
Lily helped Enzo move a little bit, leaned against the stone pillar where the crystal ball had hovered earlier, and hurriedly ran out, she wanted to get back quickly.
Enzo closed his eyes in contemplation and sighed, "I'm sorry... Scenery. ”
He felt his consciousness getting more and more blurred, so he had to keep his eyes open, hoping that he would make it to Doro.
"Master!" a call made Enzo's consciousness sober up for a short time, and Lily ran in again, crying even louder: "Outside! It's all demons!
Enzo's heart was cold, unexpectedly... So fast.
Lily fell on her stomach in front of Enzo, "I'm sorry...... I didn't dare to go out. ”
Enzo raised his hand to touch her head, but finally only touched her face lightly: "It's okay, I don't blame you, maybe it's fate." ”
His gaze was a little dazed, and Lily quickly shook him again, "Master, don't go to sleep!"
Lily was so stimulated in almost a short period of time that she broke down and almost fainted.
What should I do?!
Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps rushing in from outside, and Lily looked back to see that the leader was the person she had in mind, Doro. He was followed by Elsie Dylan and the others, all stained with blood, and it seemed that they had fought all the way.
"Doro!!" Lily seemed to have hope at last, she cried and threw herself into Doro's arms, but Dora rarely pushed her away, "Master... Master him!"
Doro looked at Enzo, who was leaning on the stone pillar, his eyes trembling a little: "Why did you do this?" He seemed to anticipate something.
Enzo finally regained some energy when he saw the crowd rushing in, and he smiled with difficulty: "Doro, I have to do something." ”
Doro took a few steps forward, and Lily sensibly let go of him, but she couldn't stop sobbing, and Elsie hurriedly patted her on the back.
Doro crouched down on one knee and stared into Enzo's eyes, "You promised me you wouldn't do this. ”
Enzo digressed: "I saw something. ”
Doro's fists clenched to the side, and he chose not to ask any more questions about the matter, too.
"Is there still salvation. He asked Enzo.
Enzo shook his head weakly, "This has drained my life, and perhaps my soul. Doro, you must listen carefully to what I am going to say, and I will try to finish it before I leave, and you must remember it carefully. ”
His meaning was so clear that Lily could hear it no matter how confused she was, and she was about to rush forward crying, but Elsie hugged her, and her eyes were red.
"You say. Doro's tone was calm, but he could tell he was holding back his emotions.
"My ability is still insufficient, even after giving so much, I only see one thing, and that is you, Doro. ”
"Me?"
"He told me that you are the beginning and the end. ”
Doro didn't interject again, he needed time to understand.
"I don't know what's going on, and I don't know how it's going to end. But you are the key to the end of it. ”
"Listen, Doro, you must live. ”
"The reason why the royal family has not appeared for a while is because the empire still has a chance to escape. It was a space magic array left over from a long time ago, and it might have been common elsewhere, but it was the only chance for our small country. ”
"Its weakness is that it teleports randomly, perhaps to more dangerous places randomly, and since the Empire has no resources and mages to do so, its energy is running out, but it's an opportunity. ”
"The royal family has fled, and before leaving, the king told me that there is still a chance for two people, and that magic array can also teleport two people. ”
"That's the last chance, Doro, you have to understand your importance, you have to get out of here alive, I hope you can take this opportunity and live. ”
Doro listened for a long time, and only then did he frown and interrupt: "The last two chances are reserved for you and your daughter, right." Although it was an inquiry, he did not use a questioning tone, but an affirmative tone.
Enzo hung his head: "If I hadn't seen all this, I would have hoped that my daughter would be safe, but... Doro, if you survive, you can save more people, maybe you can end this disaster, I have a hunch that maybe the disaster will not be limited to this place. ”
"I'm sorry for her, but if Jing Neng knew all this, she might be more supportive of letting you go than I do. ”
"The other person, I know you can't leave without her leaving. He looked at Elsie, and his gaze was far-reaching. Elsie didn't know what he meant, confused and uneasy.
"You and Elsie, go to the palace......" He carefully told him the route and the location of the magic circle, and how to activate it, just in case, and asked Doro to repeat it.
It wasn't until he confirmed that Doro remembered that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his body went limp, as if everything just now was back to light.
Lily broke free from Elsie's confinement, she cried and threw herself over, begging Enzo not to leave, Enzo's eyes were fixed on her, and then gradually raised, looking up, a tear crossed her eyes, not knowing what she was seeing, or who it was.
Lily cried heartbroken, the master was the closest and most admired person to her, she thought she could die by the master's side, but she didn't expect the master to leave her first.
Doro stepped forward and grabbed her by the arm to lift her up, he was so strong that Lily could barely resist.
"Enzo is gone. ”
Lily didn't seem to hear, just stared at Enzo's face, lost in her soul.
Doro handed her over to everyone, and Fisrina hurriedly took her into her arms to comfort her, and Doro stepped forward and gently touched Enzo's unclosed eyes.
He turned his back to the crowd, and no one could read his expression, but Elsie felt as if Doro had changed in an instant.
When Doro turned around, his face was cold and calm.
"It's time to leave, target, the palace. His tone was calm but resolute, and for a moment, it seemed as if they could no longer see the shadow of the boy in him.
