267 To live or to die
"There's Taquelin's line in front of you, so it's safe here. [The latest chapter, please go to-]"
Thea followed Linsay's finger and found that the two were almost back in Taquelin.
But Lindsay's words made her feel a little strange. "Lindsay, ...... you said this, aren't you going back with me?"
"Well, you tell Nathanos with me, I'm going straight back to the Undercity." Lindsey had already turned around and taken a step in the opposite direction, and when she heard Thea's question, she paused and replied casually.
"Back to the Undercity?" Thea repeated Linse's reply with some surprise. She kindly reminded, "But Nathanos is your superior, and it would be better for you to talk to him yourself." It's all here, so it's not too late......"
Lindsey was silent for a moment. "It's okay, don't worry. You just have to pass it on. If you have any questions, just go back and ask him to come to me directly. β
After saying that, she simply summoned a huge bat from her space bag, and neatly turned over and stepped up.
Lindsay...... Did you send me back on purpose? "Head bat, Shia seems to understand something. She hurried a few steps forward and grabbed the reins of the flying bat, stammering a little. "Did you plan to leave directly last night?"
Lindsey seemed to acquiesce to her words, which made Thea feel even more sorry. "I'm sorry...... I...... Actually, if you had said it earlier, I could have walked back alone. β
"Since you went out with me, I am naturally obliged to send you back safe and sound." Lindsey said with a look of reason: "This is the principle of a warrior. β
Thea abruptly let go of her grip on the reins and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Lindsay. I seem to be in trouble for you. β
After a moment of silence, Lindsay's cold hand landed on her shoulder.
"No...... Thank you. β
Thea looked up in disbelief. Lindsay's face smiled faintly at her. At this time. A ray of morning light had broken through the cyan mist of the Haunted Lands and landed on Lindsay's face, adding a touch of warmth to her pale complexion. Read the full text of the latest chapter
Sia had barely laughed before. Therefore, Lindsay's smile at this moment made her lose her mind for a short time as if she was hypnotized by a banshee, so that she didn't listen to Lindsay's words for more than half of what she said.
"Your heart is so soft and kind. Maybe it's because of this that it attracts cold hearts and wants to get closer to you......"
"Huh?" Thea woke up in a trance, but only heard Lindsay's last sentence clearly.
"I'll look forward to seeing you again, Shia."
The flying bat flapped its huge wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the Undercity.
And Sia still stood in place, stunned, and turned into a small dot and gradually faded away. It wasn't until the little black dot that Jaya turned around and walked towards the inn where they had spent the night.
She thought about it for a moment and knocked on Nathanos' door. But no one in the room responded. But just as Thea was about to turn away. but the door of Simon was opened.
"You're back?" Simon's voice was still calm, but behind him came the sound of Nathanos's hippie smile.
"Thea, are you looking for me? Really. You should have knocked on my door sooner!! β
Thea's face flushed slightly. "Lindsey wants me to tell her to go back to the Undercity first."
Nathanos waved his hand and said, "Okay, I see." β
Nathanos's surprise indifference finally put her heart at ease. But that's when Simon stepped in.
"You're using dark energy again?" The expression on Simon's face was not good, but Sia could naturally feel the worry on his calm face.
Thea nodded. Like a child who has done something wrong, he seems to be a little unreasonable and afraid to go
"Alright, Nathanos. Lindsey went back. You can also rest assured. Now, go back to your house! Simon gave the eviction order without saying a word, and then pushed Nathanos out the door, grabbing Thea's hand. dragged her into the room.
Before Nathanos could understand what was happening, he heard the door slam shut.
Nathanos, who came back to his senses, was angry and funny, his eyes rolled and his throat pulled at him, and he was not afraid of death and pranked, "Hey." I say! You don't have to cross the river like this and tear down the bridge! And also! Don't be in a hurry!! It's almost dawn! What a bad impact!! Do you want me to go to the front desk and register you for one more night!! β¦β¦β
He wanted to continue, but he heard Simon's indifferent response from the door: "Get out!" Otherwise, I'll report that you've ruined my latest plague seed! β
The words choked Nathanos at once. He was just trying to tease the two of them. However, he also believes that Simon will do so if he says such a threat. If only Simon had been allowed to label him as a frame-up for delaying the course of plague studies. The queen must be angry.
So Nathanos had no choice but to touch his nose and turn back to his room.
Hearing Nathanos shut up, Xia Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Although her relationship with Simon has always made her trust in Simon's character - he has never forced her when so many people are alone, and naturally not now. But even though it was clear that Xia was so embarrassed to hear Nathanos's ambiguous and misleading words that she was startled when she heard Simon's words.
"Get to bed."
"What?" Thea tightened her collar nervously and stammered to Simon to confirm if it was her auditory hallucination. "You...... Just...... Say what? β
Her nervousness made Simon laugh dumbly, but the heavy anxiety in his heart made him unable to even make such a reluctant gesture as pulling the corners of his mouth. Perhaps realizing what Shia was afraid of, he opened his mouth to explain. "I'm going to give you a check-up."
But still with a vigilant look, he had to say semi-threateningly: "Are you going to bed by yourself, or do you want me to help you?" β
Thea pursed her lips, and after weighing the feasibility of Simon's threat, she still had to choose to believe Simon and obediently climbed into bed. It's just that as soon as she got into bed, she subconsciously got into the quilt and covered her whole body tightly, only exposing her head outside.
"So? Is that possible? Shia asked softly.
Simon was a little speechless about the ostrich Thea, but the ostrich hid a head. Thea, on the other hand, only showed half of her head above her eyes. Simon was a little speechless - didn't she know that for men, such gestures were more likely to lead people to reverie?
However, he still suppressed the churning in his heart, and walked to her side calmly.
"Close your eyes and ...... soon"
Xia immediately obediently listened to him and closed her eyes. As long as Simon doesn't force her, she can compromise with Simon on other things.
Simon waved his hand and laid down an enchantment. Then he took out his golden hourglass.
The golden sands of time slowly poured out of the hourglass, turning into a golden thread and floating towards Xia, and then turning into a thin cocoon to envelop Xia.
Simon frowned, feeling the information from the sands of time, his brow furrowing more and more.
"If it goes on like this, it's two months at most, no, maybe a month......"
Thea, who fell into a deep sleep under the influence of the Sands of Race's time, was constantly pondering and weighing, as if she was forcing herself to make some difficult choices.
"Alas......" Eventually, he imprinted a kiss on the forehead of Chia. When he stood up again, his eyes, as deep as night, were full of unshakable determination. "As long as you're alive, you'll hate me for other things......"
"Did I sleep for a long time? I'm so sorry! It's time for us to go! The first thing Shia did when she opened her eyes was that she was embarrassed that she had fallen asleep. The Forsaken's sleep was not necessary, so Thea wondered why she suddenly fell asleep without any reaction.
However, when she pulled up the quilt, she subconsciously glanced at the robe on her body, but fortunately, the clothes were still very neat. Her heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's just a side effect of the test." Simon, who was holding a book next to the bed, closed the book and stood up. "Now that you're awake, I'll tell Nathanos to go. You should be able to go back to the Plaguelands today. β
"Oh."
"You'd better be prepared, thoughβyou'll have to leave with me when you get back to the Plaguelands."
"Leave?" Simon's words made Thea jerk up his guard again. "Where to go? Undercity? I don't want to go anywhere! β
Simon looked back deeply. "Your body is so badly damaged that you're on the verge of collapse. I have to take you there...... Fixed. Or would you rather die again? β
Simon's words made Thea fall into a stupor. Is her physical condition already so bad? Why didn't she feel it so clearly? Does she want to trust Simon?
Or would you rather die again?
Along the way, Simon's words echoed in Thea's mind.
This is arguably the most important choice she has faced since she was reborn.
Did she just give up on herself, give up on the repair that Simon said, and once her body collapsed, she disappeared from this world again? Or follow Simon's advice and continue to maintain such a miserable life.
To live, or to die, that's the question...... (To be continued)
