69 The withered lily
"How so!" Marlan looked at the corpses in dismay.
It was the most sloppy day of her life, and she really didn't think anything more could hit her. She suddenly gave off on her knees and fell to her knees in front of one of the corpses.
The corpse was littered with lilies that had just been picked in the morning, and the white flowers were now stained a dark red with blood and dust. With trembling hands, Marlan picked up a blood-stained lily from the ground, and placed it on the corpse in front of her, along with the lilies that had been scattered on the corpse.
Marlan's tears had dried up, she had shed enough tears today, and her heart was cold enough.
Why didn't she die!
Why didn't she die!
"Demytia, bring me some lilies when I escort you to Stratholme this time. I want to send a friend. ”
"Good!" She smiled softly.
"Demytia, the Chapel of the Light's Wish has been attacked by the Scourge, I'm afraid I'll have to go for reinforcements first!"
"Good!" She still smiled so softly.
At this time, she was lying on the cold ground, her blank eyes staring straight at the blue sky, her expression was still so gentle and serene, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth. Marlan, on the other hand, was going mad.
"The Sage died from an arrow!" The captain of the hunter on the blood-colored side behind him said.
Thea followed his fingers, and his gaze fell on the bloody hole in the corpse's throat, clean and clean, killing him with one blow.
Such an arrow method can never be a natural disaster of the undead. And she happened to know such an archer. Moreover, the man is now in the plague land.
From the beginning of the Scarlet Messenger, to the current Sage of the Scarlet, North...... What exactly do you want to do? And what kind of driving force is the Undercity in this.
And where will she stand in the middle?
A chill crept up her back. Xia couldn't help but look away, but when she saw the blood-red sunset on the horizon, she had a sense of foreboding, and vaguely felt that the peaceful life in the plague land was about to be broken.
A few days later, a letter from Stratholme was sent from the Scarlet Crusader General Dasohan in a very eloquent manner.
"So, you're going to Stratholme?" Shia asked worriedly.
"Hmm." Marlan began to pack her gear and luggage as if nothing happened.
"However, I heard from Commander Maxwell that General Dasohan was very angry this time...... After all, the sage Demedia is of great importance to your Scarlet Crusades. ”
"......" Marlan's hand paused, then proceeded to buckle the armor. Yes, Demytia has the ability to foresee, and with her ability, we can get the maximum benefit at the least cost. ”
"That'...... The punishment must be very heavy, Marlan. I'm worried about you. ”
"Nothing to worry about!" Marlan calmly put on the arm guard, flexed and stretched her arm to adjust the tightness, and then smiled with satisfaction. "You don't have to worry about me, according to military regulations, it won't be a death sentence."
"Marlan!" Xia couldn't stand it anymore, she pressed Marlan's arms, her eyes firmly fixed on Marlan's, not letting go of a trace of mood swings. "You can't do that, where is that warm, energetic Marlan?"
However, there was no trace of fluctuation in Marlan's brown eyes, and Xia suddenly let go of her in a little frustration.
"Thea, Demytia is my best friend in the Scarlet Crusade." Just as Thea gave up, Marlan spoke, her voice as calm and resolute as she usually did. "I am one of the few people who know how she gained the powers of a sage. So, I believe in her abilities more than anyone else. It was also with her support and encouragement that I came here for this ridiculous negotiation. ”
At this point, Marlan paused. Demytia's gentle smile and soft words appeared in front of him. "Marlan, go to the Chapel of Light's Wish...... I saw the missing Ember Messenger reappear and regain his glory, and the boy who made the bravest and most beautiful female knights fall in love. She chuckled narrowly, and then Marlan pinched her face before she could say any more.
It's like yesterday......
Marlan continued. "But today made me realize that we Scarlet Crusaders will never be like Silver Dawn."
"Why? What exactly is different? ”
"We will not accept the union." Malan said categorically. "Damn orcs, forsaken, minotaurs,...... After the natural disaster, they should all be wiped out from the Eastern Kingdom. ”
Her sharp, hateful eyes and resentful words made Thea take two steps back slightly, until she touched the table and chair behind her.
"Marland...... Refusing help from others will only lead to isolation! Shia argued.
"The Scarlet Crusaders have been isolated, and this plague land, with the exception of the Silver Dawn, is full of our enemies. Could it be that Mitya was killed by the Scourge? You and I know no! But did Commander Maxwell deal with it? No! He won't give up the so-called union because of this, but, as a bloody warrior, I can't accept it!! Marlan's voice gradually increased, but she immediately calmed down and smiled helplessly at Thea, buckling the warhammer at her waist.
"Totally ...... The idea is different!! So I'm going to confess my mistake to General Dasohan and take my responsibility for it. …… I really shouldn't waste my time here. Marlan looked around the little bedroom one last time, "It's a pity, Shia, but I don't think I'll be coming back here." ”
Thea was silent, and quietly pressed her hand to her chest. She should have known that this would be the case, how a few months of getting along could be compared to years of instilling faith. So be it, it's better to let Marlan treat her as a passerby in her life than to let her know the cruel truth. But why does it hurt faintly in my heart?
Just as Thea was in a trance, Marlan gave her a big hug. "Nice to meet you, Shia. You are the best pastor I have ever met. ”
"You too, Marlan, the Judgment suit is perfect for you." Xia's mind was confused and said casually.
Marlan pouted dissatisfiedly. "You're actually complimenting me on my suit, it's so insincere!"
Xia Qiang laughed. "Because I've always thought Marlan, you look the most handsome in the Judgment Suit when you fight, like a female god of war!"
"Hah!" Marlan laughed. Then, kiss Thea. "Then let the goddess of war give you a blessed kiss!"
Looking at Xia, who was stunned again, she smiled as if she had succeeded in her mischief, and hugged Xia again, "You are always welcome to come to the Hand of Tyr to find me." Good bye! ”
