The light rising from the heights of Loulan

Mixed emotions

The veins of the dragon that must be guarded

The white-bladed incident looks up at the sky......

The inner courtyard is a high, abandoned tower overgrown with weeds and piles of building debris everywhere.

Ryuuji and Silver came here and looked for the song.

After a long journey, the two of them came to the door of a room where the floor had all collapsed and the roof was missing a large hole.

The sun shines through the openings in the roof and shines underground...... A young girl kneeling on a boulder.

She clasped her hands to her chest, looked up at the sky and sang, her voice lonely, helpless.

Ryuuji didn't bother the girl, and stood quietly on it waiting, while Silver waited by the master's side.

After a while, the song stopped.

The girl stood up from the boulder, turned slowly, and looked directly at the boy.

"My mother taught me this song when I was a child."

Ryuuji didn't interject and waited quietly for the following.

"My mother told me that as the princess and queen of Loulan, I have the responsibility to protect the people of Loulan."

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Although my mother told me so, how can I protect them as a weak woman?"

Whenever I showed this emotion, my mother would comfort me and say, "If you feel difficult, sing this song." ”

Ryuuji still didn't say anything, and watched silently.

Seeing this, the girl laughed to herself, "I know what my mother meant, she wants me to feel the responsibility of being the queen of Loulan from this song." She said: Once people have responsibilities, they will be strong.

But! I can't even figure out what's going on, so how can I be strong?

Every time I sing, I only feel the loneliness of my mother leaving me, leaving me alone. ”

"That's it!" Ryuuji paused and continued, "...... It seems that you still have memories of the time and space corrections. ”

"Time and space correction ......" the girl smiled bitterly again, and even the whole person sat down on the boulder weakly, "I don't even know what time and space correction is, I just feel like I have a real dream...... In my dream, I was kidnapped by you and held by you to seal the dragon vein; In my dream, An Lushan's puppet troops attacked without regard for my safety, and my people were all puppets in disguise.

I don't even know if I'm dreaming or waking up right now. ”

I see.

Because of the memory before the correction of time and space, he knew that An Lushan had a problem, so he hid in the inner court.

The inner courtyard is the original residence of Queen Loulan, and the dragon vein cannot affect here, and the puppets of An Lushan cannot come here.

But that's the limit of what a girl can do.

She couldn't do anything without the help of the ninjas.

Without Naruto's perseverance and encouragement, or even the encouragement to lead by example, she would not have mustered the courage to take it all on.

(That might be the best ending for her.) ）

A thought flashed through Ryuuji's mind, and then he looked up at her, "In this war-torn era, weakness is a sin. If you have such a powerful power as the dragon vein, but you will not use it to strengthen yourself, you are destined to be destroyed. ”

"......" The girl opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end it all turned into a helpless sigh, "I know, we can't resist you, I will lead the people of Loulan to move, I hope you can spare us." ”

"My purpose is only the dragon vein, if you don't get in the way, I won't attack you."

"Thank you for your kindness." The girl saluted the boy with a bitter mouth.

"Your thanks only make me feel like you're laughing." Ryuuji jumped down from the upstairs and slowly walked in front of the girl, "I know what the nature of what I am doing, and I don't want to smear my bad behavior with dignity." ”

"Yes, yes."

The girl struggled to squeeze a smile out of her face.

Although the other party said so, she is now a fish on the plan board, and she can slaughter it as much as she wants.

He is qualified to laugh at himself, but he does not dare to laugh along with him.

Ryuuji didn't care.

He shook his head lightly and said, "Actually, there is no need for you to leave the city with the people of Loulan. ”

"Huh?"

The girl looked at Ryuuji in surprise, a little confused.

"My purpose in seizing the dragon vein is to build a city for the village to keep everyone safe."

"It's... Does it have anything to do with our inseparability? ”

"The dragon vein is the chakra leyline born from the natural operation, and it will continue to grow with the natural operation. As long as this planet is alive, dragon vein chakras will be produced in a steady stream.

A hasty transfer may cut off the natural operation, so that the dragon vein chakra will no longer be born. ”

"So you're going to build the city on Loulan?" The girl almost gritted her teeth and asked this sentence.

It is only natural that she would have such emotions.

Although Loulan is a small country with only one city, it was also built by the people of this country over a hundred years.

At this moment, someone wants to occupy the magpie's nest, how can she be willing!

"That's right, the city will be rebuilt and expanded on the basis of Loulan's tower." Ryuuji turned a blind eye to the girl's expression, and said to himself: "Not to mention worrying about cutting off the natural operation, even if there is no scruple in this regard, the huge amount of chakra in the dragon vein cannot be transferred, so the city can only be built here." ”

"But aren't you the ninja village of the Land of Winds?"

"When the city is built, it will be good to transport the city back."

"Huh?"

The girl's mouth widened slightly.

She wanted to say: Do you have a hole in your brain!

You can't transfer the dragon vein, so build a city on it, and then transfer the city away.

This is unreliable.

"You don't have to worry about this, what I want to say is that you can stay in the city I built." Long Er persuaded him: "Although the country of Loulan will no longer exist in the future, and you will no longer be a queen, the people of Loulan will live happily in the new city." ”

"This ......"

The girl hesitated.

The murderer of Loulan invited the people of Loulan to live in their new city...... As long as you are from Loulan, you will be suspicious of this!

But.

Although the ninja village is a village built by ninjas, there are many ordinary people who live in it because of its stable and safe place to live.

These ordinary people do ordinary work or business in the village, and can provide convenience for the ninjas.

An increase in population will also provide more soldiers for the ninja village, which will make the village even stronger.

Therefore, Ninja Village does not refuse ordinary people to move in.

However, after all, the other party is the murderer who destroyed his country, and it is naturally impossible for the girl to join the other party without any guilt.

However, in this era, there are many wars and turmoil, and it is difficult for the desert to survive.

If she leads her people out of Loulan, it will be difficult for her to find a stable and safe new place to live in a short period of time.

How many people will die in the process?

(I am the Queen of Loulan, and I have a duty to protect the safety of my people.) ）

The girl raised her head and looked directly at Ryuuji, "If you can guarantee that the people of Loulan will not be discriminated against in your village, I will agree to your invitation." ”
