Sally

The elemental turbulence gathered by the laws of the plane gradually dissipated, and the fire demon's headless body lost its balance and collapsed with a bang. With the death of the fire demon, Darko and VitB12 also completely lost their strength, but they did not fall, just panting and supporting their bodies, looking at each other.

"Well done, if you can kill a devil who is four levels higher than you, you can blow it for the rest of your life. Darko jokingly said to VitB12.

"I didn't want to kill it so quickly, but it's a shame that I couldn't kill you under the pretense of the hand of the Fire Demon. VitB12 replied insincerely.

"Hmph, I'm sorry you didn't die with the Fire Demon. Darko replied without flinching, and then he thought of something, and hurried to rummage through a pile of devil's corpses, and after a while found a crimson ring.

This is the gate of hell that burns hell, and it has just exhausted all the power of the law, and the inscription on it has lost its luster, and it looks like it will be a long time before it can be opened again. Darko hesitated, but still put this ring into the space ring, after all, it is a sacristy-level jewelry, even if it is auctioned, it can be sold for a high price.

"Speaking of which, that kid from the Flame Church should only be in his teens, right? The Flame Church would put a holy artifact on him. VitB12 came to the side and said quietly, "To be able to reach the level of a high-level magician at such a young age, the purity of his bloodline can be imagined, maybe he is an important person in the Saxon family." ”

"Those people seem to call him the young master, and it seems that he should not have a low status, but what is the concept of this young master?" Darko remembered the little boy, and also showed a solemn look.

"The Saxon family of the god of flames is ranked by the purity of the bloodline, but in order to prevent the situation of an heir who is too young and ignorant to take charge of the family, it is stipulated that the heirs must enter the sequence of heirs after the 14-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. VitB12 continued while analyzing, "The two guards are not simple, since they both call the little boy the young master, then it is very likely that the purity of his bloodline is the first in the Saxon family, and when he reaches adulthood, he will become the first in line to the new Saxon family." ”

"You know so much?" Darko's understanding of the nine families of the Ameithia plane was only to remember the names of dozens of people, and his details had not been explored much at all. As for the Saxon family, he only knew that the first heir in line was called Babineau Saxony, and the others who came back were even more confused.

"I need to know this to do the task. VitB12 replied in a tone of reasonableness, and then looked at Darko with a playful look, "If nothing else, we are all on the Flame Church's most wanted list at this time, how about it, are you ready?"

"Hmm, damn it!" Darko thumped his chest in pain, "Why did you provoke the Flame Church again for some reason?"

"I can help you so you don't have to deal with this problem. VitB12 suggested in a seductive tone.

"How can you help me?"

"I'll kill you, so you don't have to face the Saxons anymore. ”

“……”

Darko was about to say something more, but his eyes froze in one direction. They were now on the mountainside, overlooking the surrounding wilderness, and the village next to the small hill three kilometers away was also vivid. But now the village is emitting thick black smoke, and it seems that the fire is not small.

"Not good!" Dacko didn't bother to rest, and immediately ran in the direction of the village in a panic, regardless of whether there was a flame in front of him that had not yet been extinguished.

Finally...... Or did it fail? Darko kept thinking about the reason, could it be that his own calculations were wrong? The fifth, sixth, and seventh order devils who jumped over the ice wall had already rushed into the village before they were wiped out by the law? Will the villagers have time to escape? And Sally, did she run away in time?

Darko almost pushed his speed to the limit, and the three-kilometer journey took less than ten minutes, and before he reached the village, he cast a spell to create a blizzard that swept over the entire village. The bitter cold filled the entire village in an instant, and the fierce fire turned into a large white smoke like a thick fog, which did not disperse.

"How can this be ......" Seeing such a scene, Darko was suddenly stunned, if it was a flame in hell, it would not be so easy to extinguish. Now the houses of the entire village are destroyed by fire, but it does not look like it is burning the flames released by the devil of hell, but it looks like it is arson. In the midst of the village that had been burned to the ground, Darko stood blank, his mind blank at this time, and he had never felt such despair even when facing the hordes of burning hell demons.

If the village was not destroyed by the devil, then the inhabitants of the village could still survive, but what about Sally? Darko eagerly wandered around the village like a headless fly, but he had no idea which room Sally's room was.

"That's right! Water Source Magic Array!" Darko suddenly remembered this, Sally had put a lot of effort into building the Water Source Magic Array, and even if she wanted to escape, she would definitely take the magic array with her.

Immediately Dakko ran towards the hill behind the village, which was not steep, and the side facing the village had been carved out of the mountain road, and Dakko quickly reached the top of the mountain dozens of meters high. When he saw the scene in front of him, he froze in place, and the fatigue of resisting the devil before came to his heart, and he froze all of a sudden, looking at the scene in front of him in a daze, as if he had been stupid.

In what was supposed to be the location of the water source magic array, Sally was curled up naked, and a wooden stick with the thickness of an arm was inserted underneath, and a mixture of white and red liquid flowed from it. Sally herself, on the other hand, had completely lost her life, only holding a few stone slabs with magic fluctuations in her arms, which were the central part of the water source magic array.

"Why?" Darko fell to his knees weakly, his knees hitting the ground with a loud noise, but he didn't have the heart to feel the pain.

……

"Excuse me, do you need my service? ”

……

Even Darko himself couldn't tell why he took special care of Sally.

Is it because she is mentally stronger than ordinary people? Because she has a poor background? Because she is the first woman Dacko has ever had since he got a physical body? Or is it because of her self-indulgent dreams?

Darko's feelings for Sally were initially only derived with the pleasure of the flesh, but at some point they evolved into emotions similar to those of partners and even relatives. Perhaps, deep down, Sally filled the emotional void of the loss of his two companions, Orlando and Awu. This feeling is closer to his relationship with Ah Wu, perhaps...... It's more like the kind of care and love that the owner has for his pet......

In fact, Dakko just took care of Sally like a pet at the beginning, and his devotion to Sally was just unconditional charity. In his eyes, Sally is a weak little animal, her own strength is very limited, and she may die if she can't see it. Sally is his student, so Sally's village is rightly helped to protect, and it feels like the owner has to take care of the pet's food, drink, and Lazar.

"Could it be that what you have done before is for her to achieve something?" VitB12 had already arrived on this hill at some point, standing not far from Daktro, calmly watching everything in front of him.

Darko was stunned when he heard this, the magic knowledge he taught Sally was just to give her a little novel toy, and he didn't expect anything from Sally's identity as a magician, let alone think that Sally would be able to reproduce the water source magic array.

However, when Darko came to this small village by chance and saw the water source magic array, he finally realized that what seemed impossible to him was actually something that Sally had been holding on to seriously. No matter how bleak the road ahead is, Sally still holds on to her dream and is determined to do so.

That's why Dacko runs around the village at the risk of being hunted down by VitB12, just to help the village rid of the foreign raiders. It was also for Sally's village that he did not run away alone when the demons of the burning hell rushed out, but desperately tried to block them.

When doing this, Darko didn't think that Sally's dream could come true at all, and he never thought that Sally could change anything with a mere water source magic array. Darko just wanted to help Sally go a little further, so that Sally could face fewer obstacles on the way to realize her dreams. After all, in this realistic and cold world, there are not many people who can uphold their dreams.

……

"I want to be able to change the wilderness so that the people who live there can have something to eat, and no longer be treated like beasts by the people of the main plane, and I don't want my children to repeat my childhood in the future, and I don't want them to trade their bodies for a piece of bread or rotten meat before they grow up. ”

……

Sally's dream is naturally not something that can be achieved with a water source, and in this sub-plane where violence and chaos are the main themes, only the order maintained by the major churches can survive for a long time. After so long in the Mercury plane, Darko had already seen through the fact that those settlements based on personal force were just a short-term order in the context of great chaos, including Sally's small village.

It can be said that the immediate result is actually predestined. The intimidation of the invasion of the Burning Hell Devil only exacerbated the process and allowed the end to be revealed earlier. Even if this village is not affected by the devil's invasion, it will encounter other contradictions and problems in the future, and with the quality of such a group of villagers, it is natural that they will not be able to survive it together.

Sally's dream is not wrong, but it is just a pipe dream after all, she only calculates the allocation of resources and population, but does not consider human nature at all, but this is the most complicated problem.

"Dreams?" Darko chuckled, but his voice was full of sorrow, "What a bullshit dream!"

"At least you have to do it to know if it's futile, if you don't try, you won't even know how you will fail!" VitB12 roared from the side, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Darko's state, "Such a simple truth, do you still need me to teach you?"

Darko was stunned again, he knew that VitB12 was right, no matter how difficult it was, only after trying it would he know how it would fail. If you don't even dare to try, then you can only live mediocrely, die, decay, and turn to ashes......

That's how Sally did it blindly in order to achieve her dreams. Darko is the same, desperately trying to survive VitB12's hunt in order to survive the one-year hunt.

"Thank you. Darko thanked VitB12 from the bottom of his heart, thought for a moment and said, "If it weren't for you controlling the speed at which you were chasing me...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go around the village. ”

"Hmph, it's up to me to chase quickly or slowly, and you don't know as much about the skills of chasing and killing as I do. VitB12 was stubborn.

Darko squeezed out a smile and looked at the vast sky overhead. Having just experienced the invasion of Burning Hell, the elemental fluctuations of the laws of the plane have subsided, and the sky is clean and thorough, there is not a single cloud, only a bird from nowhere slowly flies by.

……

Once upon a time there was a little bird that grew up in the nest and liked to look up at the sky every day.

It looks forward to soaring through the sky like other big birds, and its dream is to fly to the end of the sky and see what it looks like.

Until one day, it finally has full wings and is able to fly out of the nest with its wings flapped.

Its elders immediately told it not to fly too high in the air, where there were strong storms, fierce falcons, thin air.

However, this little bird does not want to compromise, if the right to pursue dreams is deprived, then what is the point of living?

"It's my dream and I can't give it up. ”

The little bird flew high into the air without looking back, not knowing what lay ahead of it or when it would be exhausted.

And so it is...... Fly, fly, fly, fly...... Fly, fly, fly...... Fly, fly......

Life is a futile persistence, and what can be chosen is not fate, but dignity.

The story doesn't end, but there is an ending.

The little bird died happily.
