Chapter 401: Dingtian (Extra)
The girl's face was pale, and she could feel the Colossus looking at her with interest. This time it really wasn't her own imagination anymore. With great difficulty, Lux moved her legs and ran as fast as she could, as far away as she could from the Colossus.
Late at night, Lux crept into the alabaster arch of the family estate. She had walked a lot today, all day, all over the city, in order to come home after her family had fallen asleep. But there was someone waiting for her.
Her mother, Ogesha, sat on the couch in the corner of the luxurious foyer, staring at the door worriedly and angrily.
"Do you know what time it is?" Her tone was disgruntled.
Lux was silent. She knew it was past midnight, long past the family's bedtime.
"The school is going to expel you," Ogsha said, "and it's not going to be easy to clean up this mess." ”
Lux wanted to cry all day, but she couldn't cry anymore. "They almost found out." Lux said to her mother.
"I think so. It's getting worse, isn't it? ”
"What should I do?" Lux was worried.
"Do whatever you want," replied her mother, "and now that you're out of control, you're going to hurt somebody else." ”
Lux had heard that those who were attacked by mages in war died horribly. Their bodies were torn apart beyond recognition, and their souls were torn in half. She felt deeply sympathetic to those people and knew that it was the power within her that caused such terrible destruction. She wanted to hate herself, but the constant mood swings throughout the day made her insensitive.
"I've got an expert for you." Ogsha said.
Lux felt her heart clenched hard. Only one expert can solve her spelling puzzle. "Abolition Messenger?" She asked, holding her breath.
"He's trustworthy, I should have looked for him earlier," Ogsha said, "he's reliable, you can trust him." ”
Lux nodded. Shame weighed on her. Although her mother assured her that the expert would not tell anyone, her secret was still revealed.
And those treatments—she didn't even want to think about them.
"He'll come over tomorrow morning to treat you," Ogsha said as she went upstairs to her room, "it's our secret." ”
These words are not comforting at all. Lux is not even a minor, and her life is hopeless. She didn't want to do anything but go back to her room and sleep with her head covered, letting the darkness cover her pain. But she knew that the night wouldn't take her troubles. The light was always alive in her body, and it was about to break through everything at any time. Tomorrow morning, she will have to be treated by the Evil Envoy. It was once rumored that the way to abolish demons was to swallow the forbidden magic stone with the potion, accompanied by pain that made life worse than death. Admittedly, she was willing to get rid of magic, but she didn't want to go through this torture.
Is there really no other way? She pondered.
Of course!
Inspiration flashed into her head like light. She was scared, but hopeful. She didn't know if it would work, but she knew she had to try.
In the dead of night, Lux ran like crazy, running through alabaster arches, running across boulevards, tiptoeing to avoid bodyguards and gates. She scurried all the way south, found the battle monument road, and ran for a long time, running to the location of the Colossus of Galio. Her heart was pounding, almost out of her chest.
"Hello?" The girl asked with a shudder, not knowing if she wanted to hear an answer.
As Lux approached the base of the Colossus, there was silence. She carefully placed her hand on the cold forbidden stone. I don't know how this thing tastes, but it must be bitter. She expected to find out soon, unless her solution worked.
"They say you can suck my magic," she said, "please, suck my magic away." I want to be a normal Demacian. ”
She looked up at the Colossus. The Colossus is serene, solemn, and immovable, like a Demacian life. It was so quiet tonight that there wasn't even the sound of bats flapping their wings. What she had heard before—or what she thought she had seen—was only her imagination after all. She took her hand away in disappointment, thinking of something else.
"Little girl," a deep voice sounded overhead.
Lux looked up suddenly, and saw the Colossus staring down at her slightly. Her heart was pounding—he knew everything, he knew everything. And he's not going to cure you, he's going to stump you like a worm.
"Can you ...... Help me scratch my feet? The Colossus asked.
Galio watched the little girl run away from him, puzzled. The girl shook her little head and let out a scream that he couldn't understand. Although he had been observing her for many years, he had never known she could run so fast and scream so loudly.
The girl is very young and travels with her family every year. They stopped by chance as they passed, and Galio met the little girl. He was fascinated and kept an eye on her, his eyes following the little figure as he flickered near and far. Sometimes, while playing, the little girl would suddenly remember that he was looking down at her, and she would shyly hide behind her mother's skirt. When the Colossus is dormant, everything looks distorted. In his eyes, the world was blurred and figures trembled.
But even then, Galio could feel the uniqueness of the girl. It was a halo, but it wasn't just a visible halo. Around her, time seemed to stand still. The mist rose slowly, and the wonderful touch stirred in his stone.
It was slight at first. When the girl was a young child, the wonderful warmth that emanated from her body would gently tickle Galio's toes. Seeing her for the second time, Galio felt a halo of light envelop his entire leg. As the girl reached the age of 10, the warmth intensified, and Galio could feel the warmth from a mile away, and felt dizzy when he had a premonition of her arrival.
Now I see her again, although it is not an ordinary day. Her power burned so violently that it was like a prairie fire, filling his cold entrails with heat. She brought him life!
Now that Galio had woken up, he had seen her in all his glory, and she was stunningly beautiful. She shines brightly, like ten thousand stars in the vast galaxy, shining and scorching.
But she left again.
With each step the girl runs, Galio's life is lost, and gradually, he will fall into a calm sleep of ice. If he couldn't move, he would never get to know the girl again. He had to keep up.
His standing legs rumbled as he stepped down from the base. He easily caught up with the girl with his huge stride. The girl turned towards the awkwardly moving Colossus, her eyes wide open. A spotlight shot from the girl's fingertips towards Galio's leg. The strange sensation kept churning inside his body, and he even thought that he would be detonated by this energy, turning into countless rubble, all over Demacia.
