Chapter 35: The Soul of Sorrow (4)
The process of falling is long.
With this wait comes the fear of the failure of the flying magic.
Falling in the dark, but falling into the sea of stars.
As the surroundings grew brighter, purple butterflies fluttering and starlight dotted their wings, and Louisa couldn't tell if it was real or because of the illusion she had created after being frightened.
It's just that she can't forget the last glance before the world completely plunges into darkness.
It is the moon hanging above and magnified enough to devour all things.
And the moonlight fell on her eyes.
…
"Louisa, wake up..."
The voice in her ears was ethereal and indistinct, until a pair of hands that cooled down her cheeks and shook her body in a less gentle way, dragging her out of the cold and wet dream like the sea.
The expected shattered bones did not come, and when she opened her eyes, the light of the magic lantern had disappeared from the cave surrounded by earth and rock, because the magic suddenly failed, and Angelina also turned into light smoke and returned to Louisa's mind, and the lantern was thrown to the ground and fell to the side.
"What's going on..."
She got up and raised her hand to light the lantern again, and in the light of the lamp, both of them took a closer look at the vicinity.
It's the same as before.
It's just that...
There was an extra foreign object on the ground.
When I looked closer, I realized that it was the remains of a decaying wooden box, and a crystal ball lay in the middle.
A broken crystal ball, to be exact.
There were a few faint blue spots of light on the shards, and he reached out to touch them, but the light flickered twice and then dripped like drops of water into the ground beneath his feet.
"It's true that this is the soul of mourning, but it's clear we're late."
The vessel that carried the soul of sorrow shattered, and the soul filled with sorrow floated on the continent of Freneya.
"Speaking of which, the hallucination just now, was it brought to us by those few drops of soul that remained?"
"I guess so, what do you see?"
"Cemetery. Rose Cemetery. ”
"All the cemeteries of Flinea have roses."
"But the cemetery was different, it was empty, and there was a thin mist in the morning, and it was sad just to look at it, perhaps because the spirit of sorrow had affected me."
"Not only can it affect our mood, but also our magic... I didn't feel much when I discovered the Healing Ring, but today I felt the power of the twelve sacred artifacts, no wonder the ancient witches wanted to get them so much, the sacred artifacts... Just one is so powerful, if someone gathers it, I'm afraid there will be no one in this world who can match it, ah, wait. ”
"Did you think of anything?"
"Speaking of the Healing Ring, it was also found in the cave in the first place."
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Probably, that's not the point, remember what I said? After stepping into the cavern, I was attacked by ancient magic, and the first person we can think of when we talk about ancient magic and sacred artifacts is..."
"Shirley Morlind. How is this possible?! ”
"Before seeing the Healing Ring with its own eyes, the Tripartite Association was also suspicious of it, didn't it?"
Sheryue's long-standing notions have been shattered.
In her mind, Louisa was a figure who could take over the wizarding world in the future, and the ancient witch was nothing more than a traitor who used lies to deceive the world and the gods.
But today, Louisa told her that she was most likely injured by this person she disdained.
She just stood there dumbfounded.
"Let's go back first, it's really not a good place to stay for long."
“…”
Seeing that the other party did not react, Louisa summoned the carrier pigeon carriage and pulled her into the carriage with her.
…
The moonlight filtered through the window and shone on her long, snow-colored hair.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, she sighed in disappointment and turned into a flame dancing on the menorah.
"It's already night, how long have we been here?"
After helping Xue Eryue get out of the car, Louisa looked up and sighed.
Charles left the door for the two of them, and entered the house with a slight push.
The candle flame in the room was about to burn out, and after fixing her eyes, Xue Eryue, who had lost her mind just now, trembled twice and immediately ran forward.
"Ah Wan?! What happened to you?! ”
As if someone had knocked them unconscious, Charles slumped in his chair, while Ling Wan leaned against the wall of the table and fell to the ground.
"It hurts... Ah Yue, don't learn so rudely from me. ”
Ling Wan rubbed the back of her neck, her eyebrows twisted together.
"Are you hurt? What happened? ”
"Leave this alone, how are you doing..."
Xue Eryue told Ling Wan about passing by, and Louisa walked over to Charles's side to observe his situation.
Fortunately, I wasn't injured, I just passed out, and there was still a magical breath on my body, so it shouldn't have been long.
"What? The soul of sorrow is broken?! Ah Yue, hearing such news, you, no, why are you so calm? Something so important, why do you just say that it's broken?! ”
Hearing Ling Wan's surprised voice, Louisa also turned her head to the side.
At this moment, she was standing up, her pupils were full of astonishment, as if it was a matter of course, but she was indifferently dealt with by her friend in front of her.
"It's true, but I don't understand why you reacted the way you did..."
Louisa was about to refute, but Ling Wan covered her chest in pain, she coughed violently a few times, and blood spurted out of her mouth.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan!"
Xue Eryue has always been able to recover quickly from the panic, and after calming down, she helped her friend to walk out the door and said to Louisa.
"It's an internal injury... I took her to the hospital. ”
"Okay, then I'll stay and see how Charles is doing, and I'll go to you later."
"Hmm."
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, she just stood in place, constantly thinking about what happened just now that surprised her and made her feel strange.
