Chapter 144: Nothing to Ask For
Lilith had a dream.
In the dream, she was wearing thin clothes and running barefoot in the ice and snow.
Behind her, a huge, all-engulfing black shadow chased after her, getting closer and closer. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't distance herself from the terrifying shadow.
Gradually, she lost her strength, her feet were cut by the cold stones, and her body became more and more numb.
"Am I going to die?" The thought crossed Lilith's mind.
Strangely, although she knew that death was imminent, she did not feel the slightest fear in her heart, but a sense of relief.
A ruthless father, a powerful mother, a squishy younger brother, a dull academy, and smiling faces that hide desire and malice...... All of this annoyed her.
"The world doesn't love me, and I don't love the world. That's right, let's go our separate ways. ”
Lilith stopped and stood still, letting the shadows behind her catch up. She watched as the black shadow opened its bloody mouth, biting her body, and swallowing her into her stomach little by little.
She felt intense pain, accompanied by painful numbness of unconsciousness.
"It's all over." Lilith closed her eyes.
At this moment, she clearly felt her soul. Her soul had lost all its strength, and little by little it was sinking and sinking towards the dark abyss.
There was a trace of sadness in Lilith's heart, but more of it was tiredness and numbness after exhaustion.
Everything doesn't matter anymore.
So be it. ’
She closed her eyes and waited for the last moment.
But this moment has not come for a long time.
"What's wrong? Wouldn't the gods even give me death? ”
Suddenly, she felt something strange, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the endless ice and snow were gone, replaced by warm golden sunlight.
The sun shone on her body, as if it could shine through her body, and the warmth like a flame instantly swept through her body, easily dispelling the coldness and numbness of her body.
This warmth is full of rich vitality, under the illumination of the golden sun, countless seedlings break through the soil, grow rapidly, bloom, bear fruit, almost in the blink of an eye, the whole world becomes spring!
Lilith was puzzled: "How can this be?" Could it be that I have died and entered the kingdom of the gods? ”
She looked left and right, but could not find an answer.
After searching for a while, she felt that she was hungry, so she picked the fruit from the tree, and when she took a bite, the sweet and delicious juice overflowed her mouth. When she was thirsty, she leaned down to drink the melted snow water, and when she took a sip, the sweet spring water flowed down her throat and moistened her soul.
"This must be the kingdom of heaven." She became more and more sure.
Here, she forgets all her worries and plays carefree, while her body regains strength day by day. I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly heard a voice above her head: "Grandma, wake up quickly!" ”
"Who? Who's talking?! Lilith followed the sound, but saw nothing but a blue sky.
"Forget it, don't care about him, I won't leave."
She has fallen in love with this place and she wants to stay here forever. As for the dark and cruel world like hell, she didn't want to go back, she didn't even bother to think about it.
But Lilith still had a shadow in her heart, because she didn't know who the voice was.
'Who is that?' Is it a god? ’
She didn't know it, and the voice never rang out again.
I don't know how long it took, but Lilith suddenly heard a voice in the sky again: "Girl, wake up, I really did my best for you, if you don't wake up, I'm leaving!" ”
"Who are you?" Lilith looked up and wanted to shout, but she suddenly realized that she couldn't speak, and no matter how much she opened her mouth to shout, she couldn't make a sound in her throat.
"What's going on? How did I become dumb? Lilith was a little flustered, and the shadows in her heart were increasing, and she was anxious to know the truth.
By this time, her body had accumulated enough strength to start struggling with all her strength, wanting to shout.
Gradually, she found that the beautiful world around her body faded into a dark cloud, but this darkness was different from the previous ice and snow, this darkness was warm and reassuring, as if she had been embraced by her mother when she was a child.
She continued to struggle.
Suddenly, she heard a sound in her ears.
'Rustle~Rustle~'
The familiar sound is the sound of a quill writing on cheap papyrus.
"Someone writes next to me, who will it be?" Intrigued, Lilith began to try to search for her memories.
With this search, the floodgates opened, and the torrent of memories washed down.
"Count Derek, Grimm the Magician, Invisible Monster Chameleon, Poisonous Mushroom...... And the young alchemist........ By the way, the alchemist, he said he would save me, but was it he? ”
Lilith opened her eyes with all her might, she wanted to see what was going on.
At first, she couldn't do this, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, she couldn't open them, and after working hard for a long, long time, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She finally opened her eyes.
What caught her eye was a dim light that flickered constantly, and she was familiar with it: "It's candlelight." ”
Immediately after, she heard footsteps behind her head, and she wanted to turn her head to look, but she found that her own body seemed to be completely numb, let alone turn her head, and she couldn't even move her fingers.
After a few seconds, a young man appeared in her field of vision, sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out and breaking her eyelids, and breaking her eyelids very roughly.
"How can this guy treat me so roughly?"
Lilith felt a wave of anger in her heart, no one had ever treated her so rudely, and she subconsciously wanted to use magic to flick this guy's hand away.
As a result, she found that she could only feel a very faint amount of magic, which was not enough to even tickle the other party.
The young man seemed to notice her movements, smiled, and said, "The pupils are consciously reactive, it seems that you are really awake." ”
With that, he let go of Lilith's eyelids.
Lilith exhaled secretly, she opened her mouth, she wanted to speak, but she found that she could only exhale a faint flow of air, and she couldn't make a sound at all, she was not reconciled, and tried hard.
After a long time, Lilith finally made a very, very soft voice: "You...... Who is it? ”
"Alchemist, you came to steal from Linnaeus, have you forgotten?" The young man winked at Lilith.
Lilith thought about it, and there were vague impressions in her memory, but they were not very clear, and she asked, "Where am I now?" ”
"In some hidden basement underneath the glass flower room. We are safe for the time being. "Young people have to answer their questions.
Lilith felt a little more control over her body, and her voice was a little heavier: "How long have I been unconscious?" ”
"One day and seventeen hours, to be exact."
"How's Count Derrick?"
"I don't know, I've been taking care of you in this basement all this time. He may be dead, or he may be alive, who knows. The young man spread his hands.
After a few simple questions, Lilith felt a little tired, she closed her eyes, slowed down for a while, and when she regained some strength, she whispered, "Thank you for saving me." I will repay you. ”
Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head again and again: "Don't! No need! You'd better get better as soon as possible, and then teleport back to the academy, and from now on, you and I will act as if nothing happened. ”
“...... I don't understand, you don't want to reciprocate, then why save me? Lilith couldn't figure it out, she had never heard such a thing or met such a person when she was so old.
"Because you teleported right under my bed, and you just had one breath left, and I just had a way to save you. Perhaps in the future, when I think back on this incident, I will feel uncomfortable, and I will have to save you. Of course, if I don't see you, you'll die, and I don't have a relationship with Clen. The young man looked right.
"......." Lilith was speechless again, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Is there any water?" I'm thirsty. ”
"Of course."
The young man was naturally Rosen, and when he heard this, his mind moved, and a small water balloon flew up from the clay pot on the side, and when it flew to the position of Lilith's mouth, it stopped: "Open your mouth." ”
Lilith complied.
The balloon turned into a long line and burrowed into her mouth, and like a snake, it inadvertently burrowed deep into her throat, and her tongue did not touch the slightest splash in the whole process.
"That's how you fed me water when I was unconscious?" Lilith was a little frustrated.
Lawson scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it, I didn't stop for a while." Or, take another sip to moisten your throat. ”
He got a small balloon and put it in Lilith's mouth.
After taking a sip of water, Lilith found herself at a loss once again.
The people she met in the past, or coveted her beauty, or wanted to use her talent, or were in awe of her power, anyway, they always wanted her, and she was born in a noble family since she was a child, and she could deal with these people with ease.
But this young man was very eccentric, and he didn't say anything without asking for anything in return, and even asked her to forget about it, and she could hear from her tone that the other party should be telling the truth.
This was the first person who wanted nothing from her, and she was at a loss.
After being silent for a while, the writing sound of 'rustle~' sounded again, and the other party actually began to write on the small desk again.
Lilith became more and more speechless.
After thinking about it for a while, she simply didn't bother anymore, and she was a little tired, so she closed her eyes and prepared to rest.
Originally, she wanted to rest, but after a while, she suddenly felt a burst of internal urgency, and her stomach was very swollen, but her body couldn't move, and there was a young man sitting next to her.
Gradually, she couldn't stand it anymore, her mouth subconsciously hummed, and her body struggled to get up.
Of course, she didn't get up, but the movement caught Rosen's attention.
"What's the matter, what's the urgency?" Rosen asked.
Lilith's face was slightly red, but her body was really uncomfortable. She felt that she couldn't hold it for too long, and she would inevitably make a fool of herself, so she nodded lightly: "Yes." ”
Lawson said as a matter of course: "Oh, it's okay, you just pull the bed, tell me when you're done, and I'll clean it up for you." ”
In the past two days, he cleared the big ones twice, and the small ones eight or nine times, and he was not used to it at first, but then he became numb, thinking that this was just normal physiology, and there was nothing disgusting or disgusting.
Lilith was almost crazy: "What are you talking about?!" ”
She was embarrassed and uncomfortable, and if she had the strength now, she would definitely teach this outspoken guy a good lesson.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lawson inserted the quill back into the inkwell, and smiled slightly smugly: "Don't worry." I clean it up with alchemy, and when I clean it up, it won't invade your privacy, and after cleaning, it won't leave a trace of odor, and the sheets and bedding will be as clean as new. In fact, I've been doing this a lot for the past two days. ”
"You!" Lilith's pale face turned blood-red.
She was embarrassed and angry, and under the anger, she didn't hold back, the flood opened the floodgates, and a warmth spread under her ass.
Lilith was going crazy, so angry that she rolled her eyes and fainted again.
Rosen was startled, hurriedly checked his breathing, and after finding that everything was normal, as usual, alchemy grabbed the urine in the futon, condensed it into a ball and pulled out the quilt, and then, he extracted the water from the urine and put it in a clay pot on the side. The impurities are thrown into the sewer along the gaps in the thick iron cover.
After doing this, he stood up and stretched: "Since you have woken up, your body should recover quickly." Whew~ It's finally time to get out. ”
He straightened the papyrus on the table, picked up the quill, and continued to write.
