Chapter 183: The Salvation of the Soul
"You!" Brandt was speechless for a moment, but he didn't expect the facts to be distorted by Creon to such an extent.
"Now is not the time to argue about the family's bloodbath," Reiner stretched out his hand to help the former queen up, "and when you get to the time house in Trent, I'll give you a replay mirror, and you can see enough of the previous events, and then you will know which is right and which is not natural." ”
Brandt nodded gratefully at Reina, and then walked towards the palace with his reluctant "aunt".
Trent, the magician, knew that Reina was coming, and had already packed up the magic of the three gates and waited for them.
No way. Reina looked at the closed door, and his heart was dark. I've given the old goblin almost all of his magic, and every time I enter his secret room, I've had to go through those damn doors again!
"Hmph, don't think I'll have to open the door if you sell me some magic," Trent crossed his hands over the crystal ball and looked at the three men who were at a loss, "A magician's time is worth more than your magic." ”
"Greed, betrayal, and death, which door do you choose?" Reina reluctantly turned back to Kama and Deanna, who were looking curiously at the gold nuggets, cold arrows, and skeletons on the three doors.
"Betrayal." The two said in unison, then glared at each other.
These two people who used to be sisters-in-law have become enemies after experiencing upheaval. Along the way, they quarreled more than the hoof prints left by the horses' hooves on the dirt ground, and sometimes even required Reyna to intervene to keep them from twisting. Without the teleportation of magic, it took them a full month to return to the Land of Midsummer with their mounts and ships alone, during which time Deanna tried to sneak away more than once, and Cama tried to kill him more than once, Reina was exhausted and tried to persuade this and that, and prayed to God every day to reach Trent's hut quickly.
I don't know how Vanessa is now, damn it, why can't I be there for her every time she's in trouble. I still remember Brand's face distorted with anger when the princess announced her engagement to Prince Terrence, it seems that our love is both selfish and narrow-minded, only Vanessa, whether he is male or female, she is like a real fighter, does not shirk her responsibilities, does not push the oncoming pressure, she agrees to Terrence's proposal just to create a chance for us, maybe she has now got the key to the forbidden magic stone for me and Brandt, maybe she has escaped from Terrence with the help of Brand, maybe...... Reyna shuddered suddenly, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if Terrence lost his patience and couldn't wait for Vanessa to turn back into a princess?
Without time to hesitate, Reina took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Kama:
"You'll have to get the letter in yourself, and Trent will help us with that." He untied Deanna's rope and shoved him with a torch, "Be careful, behind this door there are your least desirable enemies and closest friends, don't be fooled by them, it's all phantoms, good luck." ”
"You're not going with us?" Kama asked.
Reina pointed to his neck, "I'm wearing a forbidden ring, so I can't enter the magic tunnel. ”
"Hmph," Deanna rolled her eyes, keeping her usual arrogance and snarkyness, "greedy for life and afraid of death." ”
Rainer ignored him and watched as the two men walked through the door of "betrayal", and then one slipped quietly into the nearby oak forest.
The archer drew a feathered arrow from its quiver and shot it into the air with a whoosh, the saltpeter and sulfur on the tip of the arrow colliding violently in the air, producing a firework that landed on the other side of the forest.
"How's he doing?" Reina asked with concern, this time to return to the country of midsummer is not only to deal with Deana, the most important thing is to restore the identity of Vanessa, if Carter can't wake up, then he has to make up his mind from Trent's magic items, but at the moment this matter is more difficult than climbing to the moon, he can only hope for Carter's awakening.
"Reina!" Andy excitedly ran towards the archer, but after taking a breath and calming down, he was given an answer he didn't want, "It seems unlikely that he will wake up." ”
"How so?" Didn't Trent give him food? Reina stared at the boy, waiting for him to give himself an explanation.
"Morty is gone," Andy said sadly, "she said she was going to Carter's father to see him one last time, and had a big argument with Trent before leaving, and she called the magician hard-hearted, and the magician said that she was working for nothing, and said that she would not give her any magical help." ”
Perhaps, Trent was right. Reina thought as he looked in the direction of the chamber.
Suddenly, Reina asked, "When did his condition start to deteriorate?" ”
"A month ago."
I see. Reina pulled the dagger from his waist and handed it to Andy, "Go, kill him." ”
"What!?" The boy's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't dare reach for it.
"His magic comes from life," Reina explained simply, "and as long as he dies and magic can't sustain it, Vanessa will naturally turn back into a princess." ”
"But, he's very old," Andy blinked, "and Morty and I got him out of the time room as soon as you left, and he's older than my grandfather now." ”
"I know you're struggling," Reiner put his arm around the boy's shoulder, "I've seen your actions in the mirror, you're brave, and now, for Sister Vanessa's sake, I need you to be brave again." Reina took the dagger and gestured diagonally upwards to show the boy, "Look, put it under the third rib on the right, he won't have any pain." ”
Andy still didn't dare to take Reina's dagger, he looked at the silver-handled dagger, and stepped back a little, as if it was a spoonful of poisonous soup.
"Andy, how old are you?"
"Twelve." The boy didn't understand why Reyna was asking this question.
"My brother, his name is Lemon, and he is also twelve years old," Reiner crouched down to meet Andy's eye level, his face full of pride, "He once saved a girl who was chased and bitten by a mad dog, he was also bitten by that dog before, so he was afraid of the dog to death, but when he heard the girl's cry, he jumped up and hugged the dog with all his might, no matter how much it struggled and bit him, he didn't let go, and finally, when I rushed to him, his hand was still in the shape of a dog." Later, I asked him why he was so brave and if he liked the little girl, and he said no, he was giving mercy to the dog, not to let it hurt anyone else, not to cause its soul to be annihilated forever. Reyna stared into Andy's eyes, "Carter is alive and dead now, you're just giving him mercy." ”
