Chapter 154: A Song of Ashes and Roses (8)

At that moment, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, and Eishu's heart was suffocated, and the mask slipped from his fingers. A face of incomprehensibility appeared before him, and even the most adept bards of beauty and youth could only look at it with a jaw-dropping sigh, and then fall into a silent silence of shame, for for the first time they felt the pale of words and words. Teresa rested her face between the palms of Eshy's hands, her cheeks still stained with tears, but there was a longing smile in her eyes: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

Ai Xiu didn't know how to answer for a while, and he was reluctant to break away, the soft touch in the palm of his hand was strange to him, but it was beautiful. Esher had seen Teresa's true face back in Sarion, but the two were not as close as they are now. At that time, Teresa was still a rare beauty, her facial features were exquisite, her face was beautiful, but her expression was cold, as if it was a barren tundra. And now something burst out from beneath the tundra, and Teresa's beauty began to be aggressively aggressive, like a shining sun, and the closer she got there, the more dazzling it became, and there was no rhetoric to describe the brilliant beauty. Eishu didn't even dare to look at it anymore, he turned his head stiffly, and said in a wooden voice, "First...... Back to Poimbru first. Inexplicable emotions crept up in the corners of his heart, and Eshua forced himself to think of something else, such as the two of them had been hammered with their heads, but they had not been able to leave any marks on that face; For example, is this still the face in your impression? Obviously, his appearance has not changed much, just the eyebrows and eyes are spread and the smile is so graceful and impressive; For example, how long can he play Griff next? And what kind of expression should you face that face? Before he knew it, Estheu's mind was full of that face, and he tried to divert his attention, but the ghost of the ghost would turn it back. He had only looked directly at the sun for a few seconds, but the radiant outline was already deeply engraved in his heart.

"You carry me!" Teresa jumped on Estheau's back, grabbed his shoulders affectionately, and looked around, "Where are we?" ”

Eshua staggered, his legs halfway into the snow, and he held his cane tightly to hold his body steady. "It should be in the Vaal Snow Plains." He replied in a low voice. Teresa fiddled with the bracers on her hand and put away the black keys that had fallen into the snow. Eshu hesitated, not stopping her. He grabbed Teresa's knee with his left hand, and then realized that he didn't need to support her body, because Teresa was hanging on his body with her own strength, intentionally or unintentionally reducing his burden. Only then did Exiu realize that the beautiful woman behind him was still an outstanding martial artist, and the means of killing were extremely cruel. He glanced at the arms around his neck, his sleeves soaked in red, blackened blood, and a few pieces of frozen minced flesh clinging to them. Those inexplicable emotions were subdued, and Ai Xiu calmed down, and walked towards the inland sea with his cane, walking all the way east along the coastline.

The topographical map of the northern realm came to mind, and Esshu remembered that if he had walked beyond the border of the Vaal Snow Plains, he would be able to turn some distance further onto a tributary that led to the bottom of the Frost Bridge, and up the river to the south gate of Poimbru, and if he was lucky enough, he could easily bypass the army of the Misty Mountains besieging the city on three sides. The waning moon followed in his footsteps, and Eshua did not know the exact time, only wishing that he would arrive in Poimpur before dawn.

Teresa lay on Estheu's back, pressed against Estheu's cheek. "I hope Kia is okay." She whispered in Eshyau's ear, "I was so frightened when he fainted, but luckily he was still breathing. If Boimbro's pedants had done their best, he would have been able to save his life. Unlike when you fell into my arms, I couldn't wake up no matter how I shouted, there was blood everywhere in the manor, and the color was thicker and more brilliant than the roses that bloomed the most, and I don't remember what happened afterwards at all, and when I came back to my senses, I was already locked up in a black prison by the director. She hugged Eshyu tightly and sobbed quietly, "Am I dreaming, Griff?" They all said you were dead, and the director, father, and Kia all told me you were dead in battle, but luckily I never believed them......" Teresa's tears spread over Eshy's shoulders, and she began to talk about the years in fits and starts. Essho had heard of something like the battle between the Empire and Sarion at the beginning of the year on the Plain of Callindeen, and Tsrevor's raid on Sarion's prison, and the layout before the assassination of Ned Grace - Essho himself was inevitably mentioned; Others don't, such as following Dante to hunt the sporadic demons at the Shieldwind Fortress on the border of the Empire; For example, sometimes I want to slaughter a large number of suitors who are not able to do anything, or for example, the secret clearance in the Inquisition has been reduced to "White Feather...... Essho didn't care much, but he couldn't help but be distracted by Teresa's voice. There seems to be a clear spring washing stones in the ears, the breeze caress the leaves, tinkling and dingdong, and the past comes with the faint fragrance of the blue musk.

But Esher listened in silence, never saying a word, and his staff quickly lit over the snow. It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the mouth of the tributary, and the relatively wide river was full of floating crushed ice crushing and colliding with each other, and occasionally sharp edges and corners flashed. Beneath the ice floes is a dull rush of water. Eshua looked up at the sky, and the waning moon had already walked in front of him at some point, and at the end of the trajectory was a thick dark cloud. Essho wanted to speed up his pace, but the injury to his right knee had not improved much, and for now he could only share the weight of his body with his cane, although he could still walk fast, but it was impossible for him to run wildly.

Eshua lifted his spirits and continued along the riverbank. The air around them cooled significantly, the sound of crushing ice clashing became sparse, and the muffled sound of water emerged and faded away. Teresa seemed to have finally finished speaking, resting her head quietly on Estheau's shoulder, staring at the side of his face in a daze. Estheu was a little flustered, it was not the first time he had been watched, but the eyes of those people were either scrutinizing or guarding, sometimes with strong hostility and hatred. In the face of those eyes, Exiu was always calm, but now he was a little flustered by Teresa for no reason, and the muscles in the place where he was stared at couldn't help but tense, and soon became sore. Estheu's cheeks twitched slightly, goosebumps rising layer after layer.

"It's just the two of us here, you take off the mask too, let me take a good look at your face." Teresa suddenly reached out a hand, her fingertips rubbing lightly against Estheau's chin. But she didn't touch the so-called edge. Teresa was stunned for a moment, and touched it again in disbelief: "This...... Isn't this a mask? ”

Escho was startled and realized that something was wrong, but Teresa had already forced him to twist his neck and force him to look at him. Esher saw the sun again, but the bright light was fading quickly. Teresa groped around his face frantically, her nails digging deep under her skin, and Esher felt her whole face ache hotly - Teresa really wanted to rip off his face!

"You're not Griff! Who are you? The arms around Estheu's neck tightened suddenly, and he stumbled out and into the river, where the ice floes staggered him. Before Essho could gain a foothold in the current, Theresa pounced and slammed him into the riverbed. Eshua still wanted to struggle, but he was surrounded by churning river sand, and he couldn't exert his strength. Ai Xiu subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but choked on a large mouthful of river water that was so cold that his teeth froze, and at this point he completely lost the room to resist. Teresa let out a hysterical scream as she dragged Eshyus all the way to the other side of the river. She lifted Eshu with all her might, and slammed him against the riverbank. The machine spring on the bracer sounded, and Teresa held the black key high and stabbed it hard!

The black snake roared and bit at Essho's face, but he didn't pay any attention to it, just looked over the blade at Teresa's face, which was still beautiful, but its eyes had lost its warmth, and those bursts of anger and mania were slowly being swallowed up by the closing ice field. Esher was suddenly sad, but for a moment he couldn't say why.
