In the dead of night, there is no insect chirping outside the window.

Bettez had been busy all day, but she didn't feel sleepy at the moment, I don't know if it was because of her concern for Tuya, or because of her body's rejection of this sense of disobedience.

In short, it is difficult to sleep.

Because Louisa did not live at home, but chose to spend these nights in a nearby inn, Xiaobai did not know her current situation, although there were many things to care about, but they were also going to meet tomorrow, and they were not in a hurry at this time.

So do what you want to do now.

For example, the summer insect in front of me was killed for unknown reasons!

In fact, when she noticed that something was wrong, Xiaobai vaguely felt that it was because of Tuya's ability, she casually put on a cotton short coat and left the house lightly.

On the way out, she wondered what had happened to Tuya, but hoped that it was not the case, if nothing had happened, but that there had been another deworming campaign recently (although she had not received a notice of this), or that there were other special circumstances (could this possibly?). It's just a delusion.

It's a pity that her perception has always been very accurate.

Xiaobai found Tuya by the stream.

The grass on the other side of the stream was still there, in stark contrast to the dead grass beneath her feet, and the small figure in the middle was curled up, resting its head on her arm.

The robes were marked with the fingerprints she had scratched painfully, and Tuya looked up when she heard someone approaching, her eyes red as she turned red.

"Sister in the morning..."

"Are you alright? My eyes are swollen, it's still quite cold at night here, why did I run out alone..."

Xiaobai hurriedly ran forward to hold her shoulder.

"Sister, what the doctor said is right, I continue to be here, one day someone will die because of me, but... I left here, what is Mommy going to do, today I heard her say, Dad is going to die soon, what she values most is the two of us, for the life of the family, all along, she has been pretending to be strong, if I leave, she will lose two family members at once, what should she do..."

"Don't you believe us?"

"Sister, although I am young, I am not completely ignorant of the outside world, and since the doctor has decided to place me in a semi-abandoned state of the Isolated Gray Tower, it means that I am really hopeless."

Tuya let out a long sigh.

"I wonder if you can still see such a gorgeous night sky in the Gray Tower."

Bettes wanted to say something encouraging, but remembering the materials she had seen in the library, she couldn't speak for a long time, seeing that the light in Tuya's eyes was fading little by little, she couldn't care so much.

"Let's go find Louisa and ask!"

After saying that, she was not allowed to refuse, so Xiaobai grabbed her wrist and ran to the inn where Louisa was.

Maybe it's because she's getting stronger little by little, and she doesn't want to see another child step into the same despair as she used to, not to mention that after entering that tower, it's not just the hidden danger that is isolated, but also the body and soul of a normal person.

Fortunately, Louisa hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Angelina opened the door for the two of them, and saw Louisa sitting on the table and chair directly opposite, she was wearing a black court nightgown with a budding bottom, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, holding a book in her hand and studying, when she saw the two of them coming, her expression was still flat, without the slightest surprise, as if she had expected that there would be guests tonight.

Before and after letting them sit at the coffee table not far away, she also walked over with a book in her arms, sat next to her, and then asked the question that Bhatis wanted to ask just now, but did not ask.

"Tuya, do you remember what happened before you were adopted? Do you remember the name of that city, exactly? ”

After hearing the question, Xiaobai immediately looked at Tuya, she seemed to be thinking, but she still couldn't read what she was thinking from her expression.

"Black... Black..."

"Black Lost Dai?"

Xiao Bai asked cautiously on the side.

"Well, it's this."

Tuya nodded, thought about it, and replied affirmatively.

After receiving the answer, Bettez and Louisa glanced at each other.

…

When Beatis cursories through all the books in the library about the collapse of mana, but still can't find an answer, a "book" catches her eye.

No, maybe not a book.

The book had no title, and only a few thin pages, and when you open it, you will find that it is a fragment of a book, torn out and bound separately, and placed on the shelves of such books.

It doesn't tell anything about the collapse of the magic, it's just a story.

It is the demise of the legendary city of Blood, Bukrandu.

She didn't care about this unproven false story, and as she was about to close it, she saw an important sentence.

"This is the retribution of the Bloods for their disrespect to the Moon God, the disease began to spread rapidly throughout Bukland, their abilities began to spiral out of control, the living creatures in their path turned to dust, they were covered in blood, they cried out in pain on the walls, their eyes were eroded by darkness and fell from the towers, their blood moistened the spears that had long since rotted when they were buried in the earth."

"Some of the blood clans with milder symptoms fled to Hei Lost Dai in Lincheng, trying to spread the disease to the weaker Hua Dai clan."

"Under the blessing of the moon god, most of the Hanayo tribe escaped the calamity caused by the alien race. Relatively unfortunately, a small number of people are infected by the blood clan, although there is no fear of life, but this pain will flow with the bloodline to the future they lead. ”

The symptoms are somewhat similar to those of Tuya.

"So, in order to make this disease completely disappear in the Hua Dai clan, they made the decision to isolate me, and I can't be saved, right?"

It's not an interrogative sentence, it's a statement of facts.

"Nope."

Louisa immediately denied her claims, causing both Tuya and Beatis to look at her in surprise.

"I know there's a guy who can save you."

Is it a delusion?

Xiaobai looked at Louisa.

When talking about the person who could save Tuya, she didn't show a happy expression.

Although it was only for a moment, she could still feel her mixed emotions.

But after that moment, her eyes returned to their original firmness again.

That's how she declared victory.
