In the gray eyes, a gray shadow is reflected.

"Why save my ......"

Ryu didn't care about the current situation at the moment, but asked such a sentence.

His voice was full of emptiness and doubt, as if he didn't think he was worth saving.

Chu Ge was stunned, and then sat on the edge of the bed casually, and said with a smile:

"Because that's your request."

"My ...... Request? ”

"Yes, I hear you, you hear your desire to live."

Ryu fell silent, as if searching for what little was left in her mind.

"My name is Ino, can I tell me what's going on?"

Seeing that Ryu didn't say a word, Chu Ge pulled the thin quilt over and asked while covering Ryu's body.

After half a sound, the elf slowly spoke, and told his past in a flat tone:

"My name is Ryu, and I have come from Berlan as a member of the envoys to meet the supreme ruler of the Alcaya Empire."

"When I first arrived in Greenland, I suddenly realized that my brother, who had been missing for seven years, so I immediately left the mission, and with the help of blood connections, I infiltrated the dungeon of a mansion and managed to find him there......"

"I can't believe that the carrion that was chained around his neck is actually him, fortunately, he has not completely lost his life, as long as he is treated in time, his life will definitely be saved......"

"However, the moment I untied him, he suddenly drew my short sword and ended his life in an instant."

After gaining freedom, this is what he wants to do the most, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of life he has lived in the past few years...... Maybe even if I succeeded in stopping him, I wouldn't be able to change his end. ”

"Because of hatred, I lost my mind and fell into madness, killing every living person I saw in the mansion......"

"After clearing the house of resistance, I shifted my focus to those who were hiding in the house, and although I was seriously injured at that time, the ordinary people were still helpless......

"The resting old man, the weeping baby, the young maid...... None of them survived my madness; Even when I came to my senses, there was a little girl of four or five years old lying at my feet...... of the skull. ”

"Whatever the reason, this behavior is absolutely wrong...... Irreparable mistakes. ”

"I used to regard justice and kindness as my life creed, but now I have become the person I hate and spurn the most......"

Ryu lay quietly on the bed, counting his sins like a prisoner on the verge of execution, and the gloom in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Although the values are completely different from this, Chu Ge can understand this belief, especially for someone like Ryu who is too serious, and the guilt brought by indiscriminate killing of innocents is even deeper.

Beliefs can shape the mind, but it can also destroy the mind.

Ryu is not a believer in the gods, but she surpasses most believers, and when she commits irreparable sins, her faith has collapsed, and at the same time she has lost the meaning of her existence.

Chu Ge stared into Liu's eyes, and he said calmly:

"One of my benefactors once told me, 'Even if you suffer and bear sinful karma, try to live and live up to this God-given life,' and I struggled to survive."

A glimmer of light appeared in her dark pupils, but her tone was still empty:

"So, what's the point of my life?"

Significance? Chu Ge blinked.

A person's life has no essential meaning, and even their own birth is just as simple as parents wanting a baby, but because of this, we have to connect ourselves with the lives of others.

Promises, friendships, revenge, curses, fate...... Anything is good.

By attaching a relationship with others, you can add meaning to your own existence, and in this way, you will have an overwhelming sense of security.

It is also in this way that people will eternally cherish the so-called bonds as the work of God.

Chu Ge remembered that in his previous life, Ryu asked him exactly the same question.

It's just that if he just said a standard answer like in his previous life, then Ryu may never be able to usher in his own salvation, and he will always be bound by that broken faith.

Chu Ge firmly believed that Liu's heart must be eager to live, but he just needed to give her a reason to live.

That kind of comforting words, which are neither worthless nor hopeless, can only allow Ryu's grief to accumulate, eventually leading to his own destruction.

"If you live only for yourself, you have to bear everything for yourself. So, you just try to find it, to find your sustenance. In that case, the guilt in your heart will be shared by others. ”

"...... sustenance?"

"Yes, go and find your own sustenance, if you really can't find it......"

Chu Ge paused, held Liu's cold palm, and said the late redemption in his previous life:

"If you really can't find it, let me be your sustenance."

If there is no meaning to live, then it becomes the meaning of her life.

The corners of Ryu's mouth widened slightly, and he couldn't understand why the other party was willing to help him like this, and he was willing to help a sinful person like himself like this.

"Why?" Confusion and hope, this contradiction is intertwined in her eyes.

"Do you believe in fate?"

"It was fate that asked me to save you."

In this life, where he has not created any memories with Ryu, he can only make despicable use of the nonsense and ethereal excuse of "fate".

Of course, if the matter of rebirth can be counted as "fate", what he just said is indeed true.

"Fate...... Fortune? ”

Ryu looked at the handsome young man in front of him in a daze, and between the cracks in his heart, there were new shoots opening up the gravel and growing quietly.

Yes, what else can explain it but fate?

"I'll try my best......"

The corners of the elf's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, this smile was exactly the same as the one she had revealed before she died in her previous life!

The inner touch of the two must be the same, the only difference is that it was the end then, and now it is the beginning.

Just as Chu Ge rubbed his eyes and wondered if he was wrong, Ryu had already regained his previous blandness again.

After seeing that Liu's heart had finally stabilized, Chu Ge spoke again:

"Your injuries must be very serious, I'll examine them carefully for you before considering how to treat them."

Lu nodded lightly, and let Chu Ge pull the thin quilt away, infiltrating the dark element into his body little by little.

Although Chu Ge is not very proficient in healing anything, there is no problem just checking it and feeding back Liu's injury information through the power of the elements.

Because Liu's attribute affinity is also based on dark elements, not only did there not appear any rejection, but it also saved Chu Ge a lot of effort.

"By the way, why is that the first question you ask when you wake up? Aren't you afraid that I'm a gangster with bad intentions? ”

In his impression, Lu was definitely not a frivolous person, so Chu Ge was nervous about the situation at that time.

If Ryu's combat power is still there, or if the blow is not as big as expected, maybe the other party will get up on the spot and knock him unconscious.

Ryu replied calmly:

"I don't think this body can arouse male desire right now, and there is no flame of lust burning in your eyes."

On top of Ryuna's slender figure, which seemed to break off at the touch of a button, it was covered with hideous sores and woven like bloody cobwebs, making people feel fear and regret.

As time passed, Chu Ge's expression became more and more ugly.

In his previous life, Liu's strength would fall to the state of an ordinary person, and he thought that it was because he couldn't get timely treatment at the beginning, so he would develop an old disease, but he didn't expect that Liu's condition at the moment was already so bad.

The Wraith Curse had only been cast on her spirit, and her injuries were much worse than that, and with a little more force, blood would seep out of her broken muscles.

What's worse is that Ryuki seems to have used some kind of secret method with great side effects, and now whether it is the elements or mana in her body, she has fallen into a state of sluggishness, even a priest of the extraordinary level can only shake her head and sigh at this.

Both the National Academy and the Templar should have existences that can completely heal Ryu, but considering the cost of their actions......

Looking at Chu Ge's eyebrows, which were getting tighter and tighter, Liu comforted instead:

"I've been mentally prepared for the injury, so you don't have to worry too much, at least ...... At least it's okay to survive. ”

Is it okay to live......

Seeing the change in Liu's mentality, a smile of relief appeared on Chu Ge's face, and he said:

"If you can't be completely cured, how can you be worthy of the word fate."

After saying that, he took out the bottle of [Fairy Elixir (Golden Liquid)] that Wilde had given him.

Although this bottle of dark gold elixir was extremely mysterious, Chu Ge did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to completely heal the injuries on Liu's body, after all, he had never seen such an injury to this extent.

However, he had already decided that if he couldn't do that, he would go to the Templar headquarters to ask Aya, or take Ryu back to Brewell Town, and the teacher would not refuse his request.

"This is ......"

Although he didn't know the origin of this golden potion, the life force contained in it had been so rich that it overflowed, and just by looking at it, Ryu understood the preciousness of this potion.

"Come on, just drink it in one gulp."

Watching Chu Ge slowly open the cork, Lu didn't make any resistance movements, just silently firmed up a certain thought in his heart, and then let Chu Ge help himself up and feed the medicine.

As soon as the potion slid into Ryu's throat, a golden phantasm suddenly appeared on her body, and the phantom solidified little by little, forming five little goblins with transparent wings.

Dressed in ancient and simple costumes, they danced around Ryufei and sang cheerful and melodious songs, and golden phantasm flowers bloomed under the urging of the songs.

As if moved by their songs, even the moonlight from the outside world passed through the clouds, through the walls, and converged from all directions, shining on Ryu's body, exuding a dazzling silver glow.

aaa……

The resentful spirits that had wrapped around Ryu's body boiled again, but unlike the vicious curses they had cursed before, this time they let out heart-rending wails of pain.

Purified by the silver glow and the song, they were assimilated into golden phantoms little by little, and the curse that even the Shadow Demon King could not remove from it, and this dissipated in front of the power of the goblins.

The reason why Ryu fell into despair in his heart is not necessarily related to this curse.

The slender body seemed to have been blessed by time, and the ugly and horrible wounds did not undergo the normal process of scabbing and healing, but slowly disappeared like going back in time, and even the dried and coagulated blood stains seeped back into the cortex, turning back into the nephrite-like white skin before.

And the various power factors that had been dormant were also reawakened, and little by little they reshaped and opened up their own channels.

After perceiving this, Chu Ge understood that this was an important opportunity for Liu, and immediately absorbed the origin of Nevenmore's heart with all his strength, and gently injected it into Liu's body.

Although these are not as small as the true Dark Origin, they will definitely be of great help to Ryu's cultivation at such a time.

Liu seemed to have become accustomed to Chu Ge's favors, and after feeling these gifts, she did not show a look of surprise, nor did she investigate their origins, but just silently accepted them, and regarded these pure shadows as the same as the elven elixir, all of which were the "fate" brought by Chu Ge.

……

"Hint: The target [Ryo Leon] has been successfully rescued, and all injuries on his body have been removed, and the completion of the mission has been greatly improved!"

"Hint: As long as you make sure that [Ryo Leon] is not apprehended by the guards for the next three days, the mission will be completed."

After fifteen minutes of sustaining it, the fairy phantom finally dissipated into the air along with the golden light.

Ryu's external injuries have healed completely, and even the traces left by the injuries left by the past training have disappeared, and her body is as adorable as a newborn baby.

"Falling asleep......"

Looking at Liu, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Chu Ge's eyes flashed with a trace of joy mixed with exhaustion, and the full infusion just now almost exhausted his source energy.

As a long-lived species on the continent, although the life span of elves is not as long as in ancient times, they can also live to close to three hundred years old, and in terms of human proportions, Ryu is now only about twenty-five years old.

By the way, generally speaking, in large races, only dragons and giants can live to be close to 500 years old, while humans generally only live to 80 years old, and there is no absolute correlation between strength and age.

Of course, in addition to some treasures that can live forever, high-level alchemists have also created elixirs that prolong life.
