Chapter Twenty-Eight: Missing

When Dalena learns that Colwin has fallen into the hands of a vampire, she almost faints.

She still had in her pocket the ring he had given her the other day, not a diamond ring, just an ordinary silver ring, but it was enough to surprise her. She and Corwin have been in love for a long time, but the two of them have special identities, he is a cardinal, and she is the archbishop. If the relationship between the two is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.

For the first time, Dalena experienced what it was like to be in her soul, as she walked down the street, feeling like her heart was heading. There were fewer and fewer new people on the street, and soon she sensed that something was wrong and walked over to a shop. The shop's sign was woodcut with symbols she didn't recognize.

Dalena opened the door, and the manager was a young man, sitting behind a wooden counter like a soulless doll. Hearing the sound, the store manager's body clicked, really like a puppet that had been manipulated. His voice was exactly the same as Colwin's: "Welcome." ”

Dalena quickly took the silver cross in her hand to guard against the unexpected, and when she saw that the store manager had become like Corwin, she decided that she had entered a fantasy planted by an evil mage: "May the Lord cleanse this world from its sins as soon as possible." She muttered to herself, but did not attack.

The store manager did not mean anything, he pointed to Dalena's back: "Dear customer, please choose your favorite product." I will not harm you, in the name of the Lord. ”

In the name of the Lord, I promise that I will always be there for you.

For a serious person like Colwin, that's a rare love story. Dalena's guard was lowered slightly, but she still held the cross, and commanded the store manager in a tone that "can express the majesty of the Lord": "I don't know where you are sacred, please don't take the form of my friend, and let me go." ”

"Honorable guest, please don't say that." When the store manager stood up, his outfit changed to the white sermon robe that Colwin wore most often. He slowly approached Dalena with a mysterious smile on his face, "Is he really just your lover?" ”

“?!” Dalena should have sung sacred magic through his chest, but she didn't. She watched as he reached out a hand and gently pressed her wrist to tell her to lower the cross. He gently wrestled her body and made her look at the shelves.

There were three layers of dusty wooden shelves, and Dalena's gaze fell first to the first layer, on which there were many crystal balls, each with words on them.

"Power, Wealth, Childhood, Happy ,??????" She read it out and couldn't help but ask, "How can these be commodities?" You must be the devil, trying to deceive my soul! ”

"Don't say that, how can I be the devil?" The store manager's demeanor is very similar to Corwin's, I don't know if it's really similar or because of Dalena's recent excessive lovesickness. "Read on."

Dalena hurriedly swept the first line: "Why is there no love?" ”

"Dear guest, there is nothing you already have. For example, friendship, health, you already have it. ”

Dalena's mentality has long changed, and she argues: "It's impossible, I don't get love at all." ”

"It's your misunderstanding," the manager smiled, "you got love, and it's in your pocket right now, isn't it?" ”

Dalena felt the silver ring through her clothes, and she was a little distraught, and she felt that her conversation with the man in front of her was a blasphemy against the Lord. Her tone weakened noticeably: "This is not love. ”

"No, it is." The store manager snapped his fingers, and Dalena suddenly didn't feel its presence. It appears in the hands of the store manager!

"Give it back, you thief!"

The store manager smiled and gave it back to Dalena: "Just kidding, you must wish he could put this ring on for you, right?" Please continue to browse the products. ”

Dalena glared at him, carefully pocketing the ring. Looking at the second line, this time the product has changed drastically: "Sell the right to 'miss'?" The crystal balls in the second row left Dalena scratching her head, and she naturally turned to the store manager.

The store manager patiently explained: "That's the case, everything you have is on it, such as '**'''Pain', 'sadness', etc., you can choose to remove all these things." ”

"But if I do that I am no longer human, and I don't think I should give them up because the Lord has given me." The manager smiled undeniably.

The crystal ball in the third row was blank, and Dalena could see through it the lines on the old wooden planks.

"The crystal balls in the third row can be customized."

Dalena's eyes lit up, "The third row is the most practical." She struggled to figure out what she was trying to say. Damn, how could she come up with the idea of making such a strange deal. Dalena was furious, thinking she had been bewitched by sorcery: "You wicked heretic! She reached for the cross on her chest again, and the store manager smiled and watched her move quietly.

Dalena had gone through a painful mental battle, and her heart had exploded. She had never experienced such pain, and by the time it was over, she was already sweating profusely.

"If you want me to say, there aren't many people who are saints, right?"

"Why don't you deserve his love? Why can't the clergy have pure love with each other? ”

"With love, life reveals its full value. It's not about shaking your faith, and it's because you have a noble faith that you should break this unreasonable rule. ”

That day, I put aside my faith and believed the devil's slander?????? But that's all for you! Colwin, I'm madly in love with you. For your sake, I can really do nothing.

Since then, Dalena has fallen, and she bewitches Jurlith into believing the lie that she loves him and accepts her first embrace.

She became the dark, heretic she once hated the most.

She was silently in pain, and the forces of light and darkness in her body were at war day and night. She had to balance the two with extreme care, and if she got out of control, a terrible explosion would occur.

Some things seem so hard that you can't believe how you did them when you're done. Dalena was like that, and she managed to keep the balance between the two, even though she was in a heartbreaking pain.

I want to see you again, Colwin.

The delicate goblet reflected her beautiful countenance, and she smiled at herself in the midst of extreme pain.

I'll see you again soon, at the Bloodline's gathering.
