On the ground in front of Marlan lay a man on his back, his eyes closed and his face pale, judging by his clothing, that of the Scarlet Crusaders. Malan was half-picking him up and examining his wounds.

The wound was on the back of the wounded, and it seemed to have been pierced cleanly with a sharp weapon, and a large amount of blood gushed out, staining Marlan's armor red.

Seeing Xia coming, Marlan simply handed over the person to her, "Hurry up and help him heal, he has just been injured, and the wound is still bleeding profusely." I'll go over there and take a look, this wound is not a natural disaster, you should be careful. ”

"Be careful, too." Thea instructed Marlan as she lowered her head to look at the wounded.

The wounded's breath was very weak, but Xia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was still breath.

"May the Light bless you!" She whispered softly, pressing her hand to the wounded man's wound and chanting a spell. Brilliant golden light continued to flow from under her hands, entering the body of the wounded. Although the contraction of the wound could not be seen through the clothing, it was clear that the bleeding had gradually stopped. The victim's breathing gradually became steady.

Looks like she was saved, and Thea sighed. Begin to examine the wounds of the wounded.

Judging by the damage to the clothes, the cut surface is crisp and neat, so much bleeding, the wound should be deep, and the murder weapon should be a small dagger. Xia frowned, she couldn't say why, seeing such a wound, she felt indescribable sadness and disgust in her heart, as if she was the one who was lying there injured.

She was in a trance for a moment.

Why is it so noisy all around? There was a lot of yelling everywhere.

"The situation is out of control, let's go!" He walked quickly to her and said to her so anxiously.

Why did things turn out like this?

"Let me try again!" Thea pleaded, "It won't go on like this. I have to do this well, or I'm going to explain to him when he comes back that it's going to be like this. ”

"No, your safety comes first." He said, "I'll deal with it here, you can go back quickly." ”

While directing the soldiers to go forward to isolate, he arranged for someone to forcibly take her away.

The scene was even more chaotic, I don't know who started throwing things first, and soon there were flying debris everywhere.

"Let's go!" Standing at the front line of the command, he turned around and scolded.

Then he saw an image that he would never forget in his life—an assassin suddenly appeared, a sharp dagger stabbing into her vest at a rapid pace.

The Assassin calmly and ruthlessly drew the dagger, and red blood immediately poured out like a fountain. She fell limply.

"Nope! No-!! ”

……

Thea was stunned.

Her report says that the cause of her death was not the plague, how is that? Is it a hallucination? It's an illusion. She shook her head, and suddenly heard a slight sound of wind behind her.

"This wound is not an act of God." Marlan's reminder was still in her ears, and she instantly came back to her senses.

"Mantra * Shield!" Instinctively, she cast her defenses.

Thank you Marlandori for the practical education that has come to the day. As the golden light enveloped her, a dagger slammed into the shield of her back at the same time. If it's any longer, she'll end up like the people on the ground.

It's so dangerous, Xia pinched the staff and broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly turned around, only to be surprised to see a face that was not unfamiliar.

Carrie Lo.

The orc female assassin was apparently taken aback, and withdrew her hand that was about to strike again.

"Thea!" Just as Luo Jiali moved her lips to say something, Marlan, who was returning, saw their confrontation, and she hurriedly increased her speed and launched an offensive move. "Judgment."

Luo Jiali easily avoided the judgment of the Holy Light. She glanced meaningfully at Thea again, then dropped a smoke bomb with a neat and crisp motion.

"Phew!" Marlan waved her hand vigorously, dispersing the smoke. "You're alright, Thea. The Assassins still have the guts to lurk here, I shouldn't have walked away, I'm sorry. ”

"It's fine, and besides, she's already gone." Thea whispered.

How did Luo Jiali end up here? Does that mean that North and Leo are safe too? She looked at the injured person who was still unconscious, was it Luo Jiali who did it? What is her purpose?

She suddenly had a foreboding feeling that if North they were going to war with the Scarlet Crusaders...... She glanced at Marlan.

Where does she stand? Which side should she be on. In such a trance, Thea followed Marlan back to the Chapel of the Light's Wish.

"Sia, thanks to you, he's awake." Marlan ran to thank her. "Our pastor said that it was good to stop the bleeding in time, otherwise it would have been too late and there would have been no help. Thank you Light, Thea, I love you so much! Marlan hugged her tightly.

It was the first time since Darien was gone that Marlan had been so happy.

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." Sia stammered in reply, her body stiffened as she was hugged tightly by Marlan.

If...... Marlan knew that she was actually the words of the Forsaken......

Thea stiffly reached out and gently hugged Marlan.

"Marlan, we ...... Friends, right? ”

“…… Of course. There was a subtle shyness in Marlan's tone. Of course we are friends. ”

A tear silently fell from Xia's eyes onto Marlan's blood-colored armor, slowly rolling down.

"Are they all friends, either way?"

"You're weird today, Thea."

"What if, one day...... You find out I'm not human anymore, are you? ”

"It's strange for you to ask this kind of question."

"Answer me...... Marlan, answer me. Thea was out of her usual temper and stared at Marlan for an answer.

Malan rested her head on her shoulder and patted her back hard. "If that's the case,...... I'll give you a good time! ”

Thea knew that Marlan was serious, and if there was a day, Marlan would do it.

"But...... If I had that day," Marlan continued, "you'd have to give me a good time, absolutely, absolutely! ”

It's a strange thing to hug, Sia thought, obviously the two are so close, but they can't see each other's expressions.

Xia listened to Marlan's powerful heartbeat, did she know that at this moment, it sounded like the heartbeat of two people, and only one was real. Hugging each other's body temperature, there is only one that is real.

At this moment, the sunlight shines through the window lattice, shining on the two people who are hugging tightly, reflecting a vague silhouette for the two.

Marlan, I wish you never knew.

Because at this moment there is only my mind, which is real.

"Good...... I promise you. ”

This sentence, much later, became a nightmare that Sia could never linger.
