Chapter 40: The Oath

In the ancient and dark forest, there is a tall castle, which is so high and thin, and the narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the castle interior dim and deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.

The rising moonlight shrouded the vast forest, through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you can see that surrounded by many thorns and roses, stands this ancient castle, the ancient castle seems to be a long time ago, the high gray walls are crawling with dark green vines, so many so that the windows are almost encircled, and some even burrow into the windows, revealing a bit of gloom.

But in front of this gloomy castle, at this time it is full of white roses, the roses in the wind also have a clear smile, so simple that it is fascinating, delicate as silky white so light, the morning dew on the petals is like crystal, in the bright moonlight at night, refracting a silver-white light, revealing a different kind of charm.

Whether it is the scorching sun or the severe cold and heat, the white roses here are undefeated and will never wither. The castle at night, as if everything has been revived from silence......

"You...... Still thinking about him? ”

With a somewhat gentle voice sounding from her ears, the girl who was awakened, like a frightened rabbit, raised her head in a panic, looked around, until she saw a familiar face, she lowered her head gloomily, and said a word carefully.

"Right...... I'm sorry, master! ”

"You don't have to apologize to me."

The girl was talking to a middle-aged woman in her forties, whose whole body was covered in a water-blue robe, including her head, and in the night, only occasionally her face could be seen through the moonlight above her head.

The woman went up the stairs to a building that looked like an altar, and the girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, sat on the altar, with her legs crossed, and in the high castle, there was no passage on all sides, except for the place where the bright moon overhead, where a skylight had been opened, leaving a special space. The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the girl's body, bathing her whole body in the moonlight, and she looked so holy and unpredictable.

"Your talent is very high, you are the closest person to Heyue I have ever met in my life. The teacher has high expectations for you, so don't let the master down, okay? ”

"But the master ......"

The girl's closed eyes opened again, revealing two confused lights, "Brother, he...... I still don't understand why my brother did that, and why did he leave me? I...... I really want to find him, ask him to understand. ”

"But with your current strength is not enough."

The woman seemed to sigh, and a hand stretched out from her robe, and placed it lightly on the girl's shoulder, and her head came to her ear, and spoke softly.

"Your brother is a demon now, a demon of the night, the six relatives don't recognize him, ruthless, you and he are not destined to be the same passers-by, if you want to do what you want to do, you can only improve your strength as soon as possible, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can do whatever you want, understand?"

"But the master ......"

The girl's face was still blank, and there was still a little pain, "I still don't understand, brother, what he is for, why did he do that...... Clearly...... Obviously, my brother is so good...... I ......"

The woman sighed again, and said nothing, but stretched out her other hand, and did not see her move, but with a slight wave of her hand, a silver-white light flew out of her hand. The light stopped two meters in front of the girl's eyes, and then suddenly spread, turning into an irregular mirror.

The pain on the girl's face disappeared, covered by confusion, and her attention was drawn again, and her two eyes stared at the "mirror" without blinking, although this was the first time she had watched it, but every time she watched, she was like this.

The "mirror" soon became different, and in that "mirror", a group of people slowly appeared, a group of people who seemed familiar and strange, who stood in a spacious courtyard with a gloomy dark cloud overhead. And in front of them was a young man in white, a young man who looked to be about twenty years old.

"Brother......

The appearance of the young man seemed to evoke some memories of the girl, making her subconsciously murmur a name that was not unfamiliar.

The woman didn't say anything, the cloak that wrapped her head, where it should have been her face, twisted the black part towards the girl, and then turned back, and the "mirror" seemed to speed up, and as soon as the picture turned, an old man who was the leader of the group fought with the young man.

"No...... To ......"

The girl shook her head blankly, her mind seemed to be immersed in it, she knew that the old man's strength was very strong, although the young man was not bad, but he would definitely not be the old man's opponent.

Sure enough, but after a few moves, the young man showed his defeat, and when he saw that the old man repelled him with one move, and was about to make up for another move, the young man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

She couldn't hear the voice, because there was no sound in the "mirror", but looking at it, the boy was indeed looking up to the sky and laughing. Immediately after, the sleeve of the young man's left arm was torn open by himself, revealing an arm covered with terrible black tattoos, and then the young man completely changed, and a pile of black unidentified smoke came out of his body, the terrifying black spikes, the hideous black mask, and the strangely shaped blade in his hand. The boy has completely changed, and he has become a strange appearance that even a girl feels.

The moon in the sky seemed to be dyed red, and the girl looked at the killing in the picture as if she had lost her soul, and everyone she was familiar with, unfamiliar, who she had seen and had not seen, as long as it was in the courtyard, every one of them died under the blade of the young man, until the last person. A girl who is also dressed in white, but in a white dress.

The girl looked at the girl in the picture, and her body suddenly trembled, because she knew very well that it was her.

"Pick up your weapons and fight me!"

There seemed to be a familiar and unfamiliar voice ringing in her ears. His eyes gradually blurred, and it seemed that his soul had drifted to that scene.

"Don't!"

She shook her head, her face full of pain, "Nana...... Nana don't fight with her brother, brother, what's wrong with you? Why is it like this? Brother, Nana is so scared, can you change back soon? ”

"I'll say it again!"

The cold voice, the tone was unmoved, and he even raised the blade in his hand and pointed it at her.

"Fight, or die!"

"I don't want it!"

The girl whimpered in pain, shed tears, and looked at the person in front of her who was once so close, "Even if Nana is killed by her brother, she will never do anything with her brother, brother, if you don't remember Nana's words, then you can kill me, without my brother's company, what is the point of Nana living?" ”

"Coward!"

Under the black armor, the young man sneered coldly, but he put down the blade in his hand.

"I don't kill people who don't even have the courage to pick up a weapon, you go!"

said that he wanted the girl to leave, but the young man under the demon armor turned around by himself and walked away step by step.

"Brother, where are you going?"

The girl shouted in panic, she was so afraid, afraid of being alone, and even more afraid of his distance. Almost without thinking about it, she subconsciously wanted to follow. But the way was blocked by a weapon thrown by the young man under the demon armor.

It was a curved sword, in a strange shape, thrown by the boy and stuck through the hem of her skirt to the ground, stopping her steps.

"When you think you can beat me with it, you come back to me!"

……

"Got it?"

With a wave of her hand, the woman took away the "mirror" and woke up the girl who seemed to be intoxicated by the illusion.

"He doesn't know you anymore, if you want to find him and convince him, you have to work hard to cultivate, only then can you have the qualifications to talk to him. Otherwise, let alone bring him back, you won't even be able to save your own life. ”

"Brother......

The girl bowed her head and said nothing, closed her eyes hard, took a deep breath, raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes had become firm.

Since you can only talk to your brother if you become stronger, Nana will become stronger and show her brother, brother, I will definitely defeat you and bring you back......
