Time passed slowly, the wizarding kingdom was solemnly proclaimed, and the ceremony ended peacefully. In a blink www.biquge.info of an eye, it was the middle of winter.

These days, Teresa spends her days quietly in the Shadow Keep, taking care of all sorts of things. According to Teresa's covert investigation, the Temple did not announce the news of Du Shen's death with much fanfare. But the news was not without leaks. From within, the temple unofficially announced Du Shen's death. As time passed, the news of Du Shen's death spread from the temple and spread everywhere, affecting the Black Blade Legion.

Mario once contacted Teresa to inquire about Du Shen's whereabouts, and also informed the undercurrents in the Black Blade Army. It seems that there are wizards who can't hold back and want to break away from the Black Blade Army and go it alone.

Teressa, of course, wanted to subdue the Black Blade. But before Du Shen came to attend the ceremony, he seemed to have orders to several leaders of the legion. Several of the leaders were confronted with Teresa's request for a meeting, but all of them sternly declined.

Teresa once again realized that most of the Blackblade wizards were loyal to Du Shen.

Teresa secretly tells Meghan that Du Shen has died. Meghan was surprised, stunned, and incredulous, but there wasn't much grief. Teresa confers with Meghan. The two agreed that if they wanted to subdue the Black Blade Army, they would have to rely on absolute strength.

After making proper arrangements for the affairs of the new kingdom, Teresa secretly made a pact with Yakov, preparing to use the secret realm of time to strengthen her strength.

Later that evening, Teresa borrowed the Tidegate to reach the outskirts of Purple Rock from Shadowkeep. In order to keep the temple secret, Teresa carried fewer guards and would not come into contact with Yakov's men. Although it was night, there were still a small number of people, chariots and horses in the suburbs. Teresa rests in a remote stronghold, waiting for the night to fall.

Teresa stayed alone in the room to rest, and couldn't help but think of Du Shen again. Once again, she felt deep remorse and blamed herself. The washing of time has somewhat reduced the pain in my heart. Teressa, despite her remorse, finally did not cry or cry as she had done the other day.

These days, whenever she is alone, pain always sweeps over and overwhelms Teressa. Teresa was about to go out, so she found two female guards to stay with her. In front of her, a swirl of shadows suddenly appeared. The whirlpool is flattened and more than two meters in diameter.

Teresa was still stunned, and a familiar figure emerged from the whirlpool.

Teresa was unguarded and surprised. Her eyes widened, staring at the figure emerging from the whirlpool. Teresa shook her head, in a trance: "Du Shen, is it you?"

Du Shen smiled, his smile was very light: "It's me." You are not dreaming, nor are you delusional. ”

"Really," Teresa was disbelieving, and threw herself forward happily, opening her arms to hug Du Shen, "Great!"

"Stop!" Du Shen stepped back coldly. The whirlpool behind him was gone. Du Shen stretched out his hand to refuse: "Don't come over, you still want to kill me?"

Teresa stopped, her heart ached, and she cried with joy: "No. You listen to me. I don't really want to kill you......"

Teresa anxiously explained how the temple bewitched her step by step, and how she tricked her into holding an exorcism ritual to save Du Shen.

Du Shen listened quietly, shook his head and lamented, "Teresa, how can you be so stupid, actually believe in the temple's clumsy deception?"

Teresa lowered her head, ashamed and remorseful: "I'm sorry, Du Shen." I'm just too stupid to really want to hurt you. Please forgive me!"

Du Shen knows: Teresa is not too stupid, but cares about chaos. He nodded calmly: "I can forgive you." Teressa, you're going to the Time Realm. What do you want to do?"

"You know?" Teresa was surprised, but didn't think much of it. She nodded, "I'm going to build a second instinctive witchcraft ......."

"It's really just like this," Du Shen interrupted, obviously unconvinced, "You don't remember, you once promised me? You said you would never go to the Time Secret Realm again!"

"I ......," Teresa muttered, unable to answer Du Shen's two questions.

Du Shen frowned and waited for a while, and said directly: "Teresa, do you like me?"

These days, Du Shen hides in the pendant space, sometimes using the power of shadow to sense the outside world. Du Shen sensed Teresa sobbing sadly many times, and kept calling her name or apologizing. That kind of performance, obviously beyond the level of ordinary friendship.

Teressa's cheeks burned slightly, and she didn't speak.

Du Shen became indifferent: "Teresa, I tell you clearly. I'm not going to like you......"

"Why?" Teresa clenched her fists, tense.

Du Shen stretched out his right hand and gently pressed his chest: "Teresa, although I plan to forgive you." But do you think I'll forget your betrayal of me so easily? It is a constant reminder of the damage you have done to me. ”

Du Shen shook his head and sighed: "The wound on the outside has healed. The scars in my heart, though invisible, are so easy to erase?Teresa, with the damage you have done to me. Do you think I'll ever fall in love with you?"

"No," Teresa turned pale and stepped forward in a panic, "Du Shen, please forgive me." I never wanted to hurt you! I'd rather die myself......"

"Alright," Du Shen coldly interrupted Teresa's confession, "my sanity has forgiven you. But my heart cannot forget the pain. Teresa, let's be friends from now on! ”

"Du Shen, please forgive me," Teresa trembled, pitiful, "I didn't want to betray you, I wanted to save you!"

"I know," Du Shen straightened his right arm and gently pressed Teressa's shoulder to stop her from getting any closer, "I know you've been deceived. Before, however, it seemed to me that you had betrayed our friendship. Because you didn't believe me! I never thought you'd hurt me. Such a blow is really tragic and difficult to let go. So, Teresa, please understand, I can't fall in love with you anymore!"

"Don't!" Teresa stretched her arms and threw herself forward, trying to hug Du Shen.

Du Shen's indifferent push made Teresa stagger back. Du Shen raised his hand and popped out a black line. The black thread hooked the crescent moon pendant around Teressa's neck. The pendant chain untied itself, and the pendant was pulled by the black line and flew to Du Shen's hand.

Du Shen turned around and walked outside the house: "Teresa, remember your promise." Don't go back to the Secret of Time. I have something important to take care of first, and I'll come back to you later. Remember to keep the news of my survival a secret. ”

As he spoke, the shadow enveloped Du Shen, getting thicker and thicker, completely obscuring his figure. Du Shen opened the door and flew up.

Outside the door, several witches and wizards thought it was Teresa coming out. Du Shen flew into the air from the door and disappeared into the roof in a blink of an eye. Several wizards were caught off guard for a moment. They looked into the room, saw Teressa's figure, and relaxed. Several wizards rushed into the house and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright......?"

"I'm fine. Teresa hurriedly turned around to avoid her subordinates discovering their embarrassment. She adjusted briefly and said sternly: "What happened just now is confidential, and none of you are allowed to spread it!"

A few days later, the base camp of the Flame Temple, Greentown.

The cold wind is howling, the sky is not yet dark, and there are few pedestrians, cars and horses on the streets. All kinds of shops close early, but the various pubs seem to be particularly lively.

In front of an ordinary house, Nikolai knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a scruffy middle-aged woman appeared, taking Nikolai in the eye. The woman rudely tilted her head and moved out of the way: "Come in." It's on the second floor. ”

Nikolai nodded and slipped through the door. The living room is small, with only one staircase. Nikolai walked up the stairs alone and climbed to the second floor. There are three rooms on the second floor, and only the deepest one has a slightly open door.

Nikolai walked to the door of the deepest room and stopped. He took two deep breaths and pushed the door open. The door slowly opened, revealing Du Shen's figure. Although Nikolai had already guessed, he still couldn't help but stiffen and showed shock: "Du Shen, aren't you dead?"

Du Shen smiled and stood facing the door: "Teacher, come in." I thought you wouldn't accept a signal from my subordinates. ”

Nikolai's mind was slightly confused, and he walked into the room and gently closed the wooden door. He secretly looked at Du Shen carefully: "You are not dead? Why do several elders who participated in the war say conclusively that you have been killed? Even if you pretend to be dead, how did you evade surveillance and escape from the secret realm?"

"Why do you want to run away," Du Shen raised his head proudly, "Teacher, I am already immortal." How could that little arrangement of the temple kill me?"

Nikolai knew what Du Shen was saying, but he was powerless to refute it. He asked bitterly, "Why are you looking for me?" or Heru's whereabouts?"

Du Shen nodded: "Now that I am dead, the temple's protection of Heru must have been relaxed, right?" ”

"Look," Nikolai squinted, "Heru is very important to you!"

Du Shen nodded indifferently: "To Heru, I am determined to win." The difference is only in how many deaths you have to die to get it. Does the teacher think that the casualties in the temple are not enough?"

"You ......" Nikolai raised his hand to Du Shen, full of indignation, "Grass cares about human life." Don't say I don't know, even if I do, I won't tell you!"

"Teacher," Du Shen calmly threatened, "please think carefully! As long as you help me quietly obtain Heru, the loss of the temple will be stopped. Otherwise, the teacher wants me to lead the Black Blade Legion and uproot several temples in turn? I wonder if the current manpower of the temple can withstand my frontal attack?"

"You, you want to attack the temple head-on?" Nikolai's mind was complicated for a moment.

At one time, Nikolai wanted to overthrow the Temple. At this time, the contrast between the power of Du Shen and the temple. It is really possible for Du Shen to realize Nikolai's long-cherished wish. The problem is that Du Shen predicts that in the future, evil gods will come and poison the world. Is it really good to destroy the temple at this time? Nikolai couldn't help but hesitate.

Du Shen waited for a while and said calmly: "Teacher, if you are really kind, you should take the initiative to help me." I just want to get Heru, I don't want to kill a river of blood and force you to submit. ”

"Well," said Nikolai, sighing in frustration, "I promise to help you." You wait two days, and I will inquire about the specific location of Heru. ”

Du Shen nodded, half-jokingly: "Teacher, please keep in mind the lessons of the two times before and after." Don't be cranky and try to calculate me. lest the innocent bury the lives of others!"

Nikolai looked gloomy and nodded: "Don't worry." ”
