Nivea Ringo was in a haze. All the sounds in my ears are not real, and the surrounding scenery is only a cloud, and I can't see anything. She felt as if every inch of her veins were filled with lead, and it seemed as if she had used all her strength to move her fingers. The elf girl naturally couldn't take her eyes off it, and could only look at the scene in front of her intently - her sister, one of the most important people in her life, was holding the Spear of the Cloud Sky and the Nine Rhymes Dinghai Sword, and beheaded the other most important person in his life, Lu Xi.

"Sister! Lu Lu! She cried out, struggling to break free from the inexplicable bondage.

Nicole got rid of it all, suddenly raised her head, and then duang bumped into an object. She felt a splitting headache, but she also heard a painful "......" sound from the other side. The elf girl clutched the painful spot on her head, and it took a few seconds for the dizziness to begin to subside, and then she slowly regained her sight. She saw Lim crouching on the ground with her head in her arms, staring at Nicole with a blank face, but her emerald color was full of complaining emotions and did not hide it at all.

"Yes, it's a dream......" Nicole realized that the scene that had just made her heartbreaking was not true, but she still had palpitations when she thought about it, and her back was already sweating profusely, looking at Lim who was holding her head in front of her, she suddenly felt that her forehead hurt even more, and she said loudly angrily: "So, so, why did you just wake up, but the first thing you saw was you!" ”

"I've been sleeping for almost half a day." The three-no-four sword flow doll Jian Hao stood up and said in a calm tone.

"Half a day ......" Nicole was stunned and figured out the tactical guide - it can also double as a timekeeping function. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had suffered very few injuries from the fierce fight with her sister just now, and even the precision equipment she carried with her was not damaged.

Nicole suddenly felt a little frightened, and looked at Lim in front of her with a half-frightened and half-worried look. She remembers sleeping past the last moments. She herself must have fainted on the spot after her sister hit the back of her sword with her sword, and at the last moment before she completely lost consciousness, her sister's sword slashed directly from Lim's shoulder to her waist.

"You, you, you...... Are you okay? ”

"She's merciful." Lim continued to speak in a calm tone.

Nicole tilted her head to look at the other person, making sure she was only wearing a cloth suit. The black armor that existed before the war was long gone. She knew that although Lim's black armor was leather armor, it was a magical treasure, which could not be penetrated by even a siege cone, but under Tidlet's understatement, it was no different from white paper.

She was hit by a sword in the chest, only destroying her armor but not losing her life, which of course can only show that the other party is merciful.

"Sure enough, my sister is still my sister." Nicole said happily, but unfortunately the smile seemed very reluctant. It's not so much that I believe that my sister hasn't changed, but that it's more about forcing myself to believe it.

Lim remained expressionless, but her eyes showed obvious suspicion. Nicole didn't know if the other party was questioning her fantasies or herself with such fantasies, but she couldn't care much about it at this time. She looked at her surroundings, but found that it was very familiar, and it was clearly her room in the Ancient Tree Palace.

"Sister......" Ni picked up the Jade of Fantasy and the Leaf Blade Sword from the weapon rack on the side of the room—for some reason, her weapon was hanging on it—and patted her belt again, making sure that the medicine, spellcasting materials, and spare weapons in the space bag were there. She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and rushed to the terrace on the top floor once more. Lim followed closely behind with her four swords on her back.

Nicole was scared. She always worried that when she opened the terrace, she would see what she had just seen in her dreams. Is that really a dream? But why is it so true?

Of course, Nicole, who was preoccupied, didn't notice that the corridor of the palace, where there should have been many attendants and guards, was empty, like a ghost. Lim, on the other hand, seemed to be alert, and had drawn her sword from the beginning, deliberately knocking on the wall a few times every time she crossed an aisle.

The two girls quickly went up to the terrace. As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a person sitting on the ground, covered in blood, with his head hanging motionless, unable to see his face clearly, and he could no longer see any breath of life on his body. Although he has no hair, Nicole recognized the identity of the other party at a glance, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Xi?

“…… This, this, no no! The elf girl threw down her blade, staggered a few steps, and then pounced directly in front of Lu Xi, hugging his body tightly. She directly cried out, and her emotions completely collapsed.

"Woo, Nicole, I'm not dead yet." Lu Xi was angry, but he finally said the complete words.

The elf girl was slightly stunned, and while hugging Lu Xi closer, she cried even louder.

"So, didn't I say that I'm still alive."

"But, Lu Lu ...... Your eyes, eyes, and hands, neck here, it hurts here, right? ”

"It hurts." Lim's voice also sounded in Lu Xi's ears. She silently walked to Lu Xi's side and hugged him from the other side.

Her movements were very light, of course, for fear of hurting Lu Xi. Her body was also trembling slightly, obviously terrified.

Lu Xi knew that he should be quite embarrassed now, but he didn't expect the reaction of the two girls to be so fierce. Of course, he has lost his vision, but he really doesn't know what he will become.

His body was covered in blood, and some of the wounds had not yet been glued, and were still oozing blood. In addition, his right hand had been broken at the elbow, and the laceration on the wrist of his left hand was even more visible to the severed bones. Even if the wound can barely heal, it is estimated that I will not even be able to use chopsticks in the future.

Lu Xi's eyes were blind, and there was only a hazy darkness in his vision. However, in Nicole and Lim's eyes, the pair of pupils, which the world calls "as if reflecting all the night sky", have no focal length at all, like a pool of stagnant water, so quiet that people feel distressed and palpitations.

But no matter what, Lu Xi is still alive after all. Such a serious injury is not necessarily incurable for people like them. Thinking of this, Nicole's tears still flowed, but finally a big rock in her heart fell to the ground, so the howl finally turned into a calmer pump.

Lu Xi comfortingly touched the hair of the elf girl in his arms, and while tilting his head, he wanted to touch the wound on his neck, and then realized that his right hand was only half left, and he took it back with some embarrassment.

Nicole's tears welled up again. She sobbed as she quickly took care of Lu Xi's wounds. The druid's life magic is the most effective against this kind of damage. Soon, the wounds that had at least been fitted with needles were quickly stopped and healed, including the one on the neck. Only the severed right arm and eyes were left.

"Gotta have surgery. The regeneration of limbs in divine magic is not omnipotent, especially for a transcendent person like Lu Xi......" Nicole hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "In addition, it seems that the eyes are not just simple external injuries!" ”

"Actually, there were no external injuries at all, did you?"

"Hmm. Yes, I'm sorry......" Nicole snorted, looking like "I'm sorry for my incompetence", it seemed that she was about to cry again, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was really pitiful to me, but unfortunately Lu Xi himself couldn't see it at all.

"Hey, I probably know what the problem is. Isn't it the damage to the soul or even the rules, and there is always a way to discuss it with everyone. Lu Xi smiled and comforted.

"And the hair."

“……”

"The hair is gone."

"Well, I know ......"

"It's so badly wounded, poor Lu Xi."

Actually, I shaved it myself, but isn't it better not to tell Lim about this kind of thing?

Well, it's going to take at least two or three years for my hair to grow like it used to be. But I've heard that Norda has a very effective hair growth lotion here, why don't you give it a try?

"In any case, at our level, as long as we are alive, anything is possible. You won't be crippled for the rest of your life, don't worry. ”

Of course, Nicole couldn't just be so relieved, but there was nothing else to think about right now. Moreover, Lu Xi's injury is not the only thing she has to worry about.

"So, sister......" The elf girl's face was already pale, and there was no blood. Although she was already mentally prepared, she probably still didn't want to hear the news from Lu Xi.

Nicole saw with her own eyes that at that moment, Lu Xi's shoulders trembled, and the spirit and aura of the whole person directly withered. After knowing each other for so many years, it was the first time that the elf girl had seen Lu Xi's vulnerable and helpless side. However, this was only for a moment, and the other party quickly cheered up, or rather forced himself to cheer up. He held Nicole's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away, so he whispered, "Yes, these wounds were left by Sister Tido." ”

His voice was slow, as if he was trying to make himself aware of what he was talking about, reminding him of what he had done before.

“…… And me, is it a victory? ”

Lu Xi let out a self-deprecating laugh, but the smile seemed to be more ugly than bitter. Lim looked at him, then at Nicole, and seemed a little confused. However, soon, Nicole opened her hands and hugged Lu Xi tightly in her arms.

"Of course Sister Tido is still alive. It's just that it's not the same as we expected. As for when we will see it again, hehe...... I guess I can only follow fate. ”

Nicole was a little ignorant when she heard this, but she was naturally greatly relieved to know that her sister was still alive, and when she wanted to ask again, she saw that Lu Xi had already taken out a vine crown made of Mithril and various colored gems from her arms.

"Grand Duke Norda, Speaker of the Council of Ancient Trees, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Forest Development Group, it's all you now. Sister Tido had already left a will, and it would now reach the heads of the major families, the elders of the Druid Order, the War Dancers, and the Hunter Generals. You will have a smooth change of power. ”

"Ah, but ......" The elf girl was dumbfounded, saying that she was still a foodie bear child, why did she have a lot of such lofty titles in a daze?

"Now...... We are the only ones who know about her situation, and everyone will keep their mouths shut. As for the rest of the people, the Council of Ancient Trees, the major families of Nolda, the Druid Order, the War Dancer, and even the Great Sanctuary did not know the actual situation. Well, the Great Sanctuary may have guessed something, but they'll help you hide it too. The dignified cardinal, the legendary hero of the Kaiming War, would be the evil party and the culprit of the World Barrier incident, and if this kind of thing were to be widely publicized, neither the Grand Church nor Oakland could afford to take such a political risk. Nicole, do you understand? ”

"I'm ...... But I ......"

Politics or something, how do people understand this? She now doesn't know whether to be relieved by the news that her sister is still alive, or to continue to be confused.

In addition, the claim to the outside world is that Her Majesty Tiddellet Lin Ge has left Norda and this continent in order to explore the ultimate truth of the world, and has set foot at the end of the far eastern world, and has begun a journey of discovery. Believe it now or not, Nicole, that's what will be documented anyway. Nicole, after wearing the crown of the treasure tree, the first thing to do is to stop Nolda's army. If I'm right, the Norda army should be on the front line of Ringu Town, facing off against the Auckland army! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xi looked at the girl in front of him who seemed to have been frightened by herself, looked at her delicate shoulders, and looked at her cheeks that were still pear blossoms with rain, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, so she could only bow her head and kiss her cheek gently, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I know that at this time, it is very unreasonable to suddenly throw this burden on you." However, this is also what Sister Tido meant......"

To Lu Xi's surprise, Nivea blinked, but her voice became solemn and serious: "Sister...... It's really the villain, isn't it? ”

“…… She has her reasons. But, in this matter, she did. ”

"Mr. Tifario, and everyone, yes...... Did she kill her? ”

“…… At least, she played the most crucial role. ”

"Well, that's true! Originally, my sister had already answered me once...... I just can't believe it. Nicole's face showed a miserable smile that was worse than crying. She sniffed vigorously, so that she did not let herself cry, and forced herself to make a firm expression: "However, my sister also told me that if I were still on her side at such a time, she would feel that she had failed in education." ”

“…… Well, she said that to me too. ”

"Which is the real sister, that sister or the sister who killed the teacher?" Nicole whispered to herself, and then before Lu Xi could speak, she suddenly said, "However, if I can really take over these burdens and do these things one by one...... Okay, that sister, will she be happy? ”

This kind of perception is really in line with Nicole's personality, and it seems to be very logical.

"Lu Lu, I know, my sister can't come back. She's done so many things, she hasn't thought about going back. However, she chose to teach me what I am now. Nicole gritted her teeth, and there seemed to be less hesitation in her tone, and more awe-inspiring: "Don't worry, Lu Lu, I will do everything after that!" For her, for you, and for everyone. ”

Lu hoped that Nicole, who had suddenly grown up a lot, or rather, the girl who should soon be called Her Royal Highness Nivea Lin Ge, was a little emotional, but more than full of frustration.

That's probably what you call the best choice, right? Scold...... What's in your calculations, right? Oh, it's me who wins, but why don't you even have a sense of accomplishment? Lim, don't drag me at this time! Don't you see that I am now in the stage of low pressure, self-loathing, and longing to degenerate into a jellyfish?

"How do you get out?" The three-no-four-knife doll Jianhao is still so concise and to the point.

"Huh?"

"This is the world of illusions, right?"

"Oh, you can see that, too. Sister Tido is the greatest illusionist in the world. After the mystery of the dream world has matured, she wants to establish a second- or third-level illusion, and it is very simple to completely kill the target. However, in this layer, she actually didn't have anything to do with us. Lu Xi said this as he dragged out the Nine Rhyme Dinghai Sword and the Cloud Sky Spear from under the table next to him.

"This, this, this ......"

"Okay, that legacy that Sister Tido left us...... Ahh In short, one of you will take one piece, go to the top of the building, aim at the life core of this ancient tree, and make the greatest effort. Don't worry, that's how I got out of this when I was trapped in the first layer of the dream world. ”
