Act Seventy-Three: The Long Night

The moon splashes the galaxy, and the road is long. The wind and smoke are gone, and the shadow is alone.

Frenica looked up at the starlight on the horizon, and her cold face showed an innocent expression.

"How much time do you have left?" Rhein asked, looking down at the ground in front of him.

Frenika still looked at the starry sky, "I think I will live for about a year."

One looks at the sky and the other looks at the ground, like two old friends.

"You use yourself as a test subject?"

"Otherwise, who else can I take......"

"Is it now at the point of no help?"

Frenica reached out and stabbed a small hole in her fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood.

"Look, this bright pink, can it still be saved?"

Rhine looked at the pink blood dripping in front of him, smelling the faint incense wafting up, a little melancholy.

"I know a sixth-order forbidden spell magician, she is very powerful, and the power behind her is also very strong, I went to her and asked her to save you."

Frenica smiled slightly, "It's useless, I'm covered in this kind of blood all over my body right now." ”

Rhine frowned, "Why are you always like this!" Why do you always choose to compromise? This was the case when I made unreasonable demands to you, and it is so now! ”

"But there are some things that there is no other way than compromise......"

"Even if you can't help it, try it!"

"Just like me! If someone wants me to die, even if I can't beat him, I'll tear off a piece of flesh from him, and maybe I'll kill him with a single bite! It's the same with you, even if you want to die, you have to die after trying! ”

Maybe this is the invisible bond, maybe this is the encounter of fate. Rhine is like a puppy with bared teeth, and Frenika is like a bullied owner.

"Rhine, do you like me?" Frenica brushed aside the topic and sat down in front of Rhine like a weak girl.

"What kind of like?"

"The kind of love."

He didn't know why Frenica asked that, but he decided not to lie anymore this time.

"I don't love it."

There seemed to be a flash of loss in Frenica's eyes.

"If only humans could live as long as dragons, if that were the case, wouldn't it be a problem for us to age ten years apart......"

Rhine was stunned, isn't this a confession.

"Why do you say that, I haven't helped you much, and I haven't known you for long."

"Love, isn't it just a matter of accidental glance many times......

Rhine was only fifteen years old, and his mental age was only eighteen. The word love, he never thought about it, and never looked forward to it.

"But you are so much older than me, aren't you afraid that others will talk about you behind your back?"

Frenica curled a handful of pale blonde hair with her fingers, "Aren't people lonely creatures living in groups?" What can be the effect of other people's discussions? ”

It's this sentence again, isn't this the one that Xue Ji said before parting. This time, Rhine took it to heart.

"It's not ten years between you and me, it's this world. I have what I want to accomplish, and nothing can bind me until my purpose is achieved. ”

"You want to change the world, right? Changing the world is indeed every child's psychological dream, and that's what I was looking forward to at first. But you alone can't shake the world. The roots of this world are rooted in everyone's psyche, and if you want to change the world, you must first understand everyone's heart. Do you think it's possible? ”

"All the 'impossible' is because the person concerned is not capable enough."

"Life is short for a hundred years, and when you have the strength, I'm afraid you've entered middle age. One step further is the grave, and what time is there to change this vast world? ”

"......" Rhine looked at Frenica, who looked like a girl in front of her, and felt that this sentence was very correct. What can be done in just 100 years? ”

"Frenica." Rhine called her by her first name.

"Hmm!" She obediently agreed.

"Is there anything I can do to prolong my life?"

"No! If there were, I would have used it a long time ago! Frenika chuckled.

"Why Do Dragons Live That Long?"

"Born to live a long life, like a turtle."

"It's amazing that the shrunken turtle actually lives as long as the gluttonous dragon, and we humans ...... Only live less than a hundred years. ”

"A hundred years is not bad! I've only got a year left! ”

Rhine hesitated: "I will accompany you this year, but I will leave before you die." ”

"Please leave before I die, I will die ugly."

"Why are you so relieved?"

"Poof...... You'll know when you live to be ninety-nine years old and dying......"

Rhein felt that Frenica had deliberately made his heart ache, but when he found out, his heart still hurt.

"You can help me heal the wound in my chest." Rhein ripped off the clothes on his chest.

"No problem, it's too easy for a strong person like me."

Frenika recited the incantation, and a little green light appeared on her white jade hand. She pressed her hand to Rhine's chest, infusing it with warm magic. Rhine only felt a warm current enter his heart, and the injured tissues quickly recovered.

"I guess it's okay, you try to stand up." Frenica stood up and held out her hand to Rhine.

Rhein held the ground with one hand, and reached for Frenica's small hand with the other.

"It's so soft." He thought to himself.

The boy stood up, a little taller than Frenica, and should be much taller than her in the future.

"The moonlight is so beautiful!" Frenika looked behind him from Rhine's ear, and the silver moon just floated out from behind the clouds.

"Really?" Rhein reached one hand to Frenica's waist and pressed the other on her shoulder. He used a lot of force, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to restrain Frenica's heart.

Frenica guessed what the boy was going to do, and instead of resisting, she slowly closed her eyes.

But Rhine disagrees with the girl closing her eyes, he wants Frenica to know that he is serious. Even if it's on a one-year period, that's serious.

"Open your eyes".

When Frenica heard this, she slowly opened her eyes shyly, and her long eyelashes fluttered, showing her apprehensive mood.

Rhine looked at Frenica's appearance, and suddenly his heart softened.

He decided, for this year, he will accompany Frenica in front of him, and if anyone dares to say a word of gossip in the back, he will be speechless!

"Is that okay?" Rhine still asked.

Frenica blushed and nodded slightly.

"I'm really willful, obviously you don't want to...... But I still tempt you by pretending to be pitiful and coquettish. ”

["There's nothing I want to do, it's just that I want to do it, I'm so selfish. ”】

Rhine's eyes met Frenica's eyes, and under her gaze, slowly touched the bright red lips.

"It's so comfortable...... Rhine thought to himself, but he only dared to touch her lips, and didn't dare to ask for it further.

Frenica's eyelashes fluttered up and down nervously, trying the touch coming from her mouth.

After a while, Rhine looked up and let go of Frenica.

"I thought you'd be a little bolder......" Frenica seemed a little dissatisfied.

"If I have a way to keep you alive, I'll give you what you want when the time comes."

Rhein touched Frenica's face, "Go back to sleep!" I'll come to you early tomorrow morning. ”

Frenica nodded, and under Rhine's gaze, she turned back to the top floor of the Octagonal Tower, where she usually rested.

The girl had never liked anyone in her life, but for some reason, she just wanted to be close to the Rhine, and she wanted to experience what it was like to be in love in this last year, even if the opportunity for that experience was selfish.

Rhine stood alone on the ground and turned to look at the moon that Frenika had just spoken.

But there was nothing.
