Chapter 21: The Turning Point
"Are you the father of two?" At the bottom of the Ten Trees, Riskoda ran forward with a solemn face, looked at the back of a man in black in front of him and asked.
"Hmm.
"I'm her father, and you're the one who made the second to ask me for help...."
"It's not me who hurt this time! It's your daughter!
"I don't know why it's like this!" Before the man in black could finish his words with his back to him, Riskoda hugged Er and approached the man in black to open his mouth first.
"I'll see, two, what's wrong." The man in black didn't care that his words were interrupted, and after calmly speaking, he threw the giant leaf in his hand upward, and turned to look at Er.
"Daddy.... I'm annoying you again. Lying in Riskoda's arms, green fireworks appeared all over his body, and he barely squeezed out a smile and looked at the man in black and shouted Dad.
"My daughter is my father's little padded jacket, how can I be annoying to you.
"You let go of her first, the magic power that emerges from Er's body, the person he touches is quite difficult." The man in black wore a black hood, looked at Er, said softly, and said to Riskoda who was holding Er.
Sweat was streaming from Riskoda's forehead, and he had been enduring the burning of the magic emitted all the way, making him almost at the limit.
“.... Ahh Riskoda crouched down and endured the pain, and put the two in his arms on the ground.
"What the hell is going on?
"Why is the mana running out?" Riskoda wiped the sweat from his cheeks with his right hand, looked at the man in black in front of him and asked.
"When I saved you, I may have channeled too much of my own magic power, which will cause it to look like my magic power is exhausted now."
"You can help her! Right!
"This level of mana depletion must be easy for you to cure!" Seeing that his magic power was really exhausted, Riskoda looked at the man in black excitedly and said.
"Two, how do you feel?
"Compared to usual." The man in black did not respond to Riskoda's words, but squatted down and looked at Er's wet bangs and asked.
“.... The heart is going to disappear....
"Breathe .... It's harder than before, and the elements around me seem to be burning me. The second looked at the sky full of leaves, and said slowly, looking very weak, and it was difficult to say a few more words.
"The elements around here are too dense, and the magic you are burning now involves the elements here, so it's too dangerous." Looking at Er's appearance, the man in black seemed to understand Er's symptoms, and hugged Er as he spoke.
"I sent her outside, there are fewer elements outside, it's much better than staying here."
"Good!"
The man in black turned back to Riskoda and said to send Er outside, and Riskoda immediately flapped his wings as if he was going to follow.
"You're waiting here." Seeing that Riskoda was also coming, the man in black turned around to dissuade him.
"Can't I follow!?"
"No, wait here."
Seeing that the man in black insisted on not letting him follow, he didn't dare to offend, so he forced himself to calm down, folded his wings and said in a whisper: "Okay, okay, I'll wait." ”
"Whoosh! Boom! ”
“!?”
With Riskoda's compromise, the man in black disappeared in an instant.
Riskoda watched the man in black disappear in an instant, except for the breeze that rolled up, leaving no trace, and was taken aback.
“....
"Sure enough, Er's father is not an ordinary person, he will definitely be able to save Er, I just have to wait, wait.
"Cut! Except to wait here! I can't do anything! Riskoda stood in place, watching the man in black take away the second position, and shouted angrily at the thought that he could only wait.
Riskoda slowly calmed himself down, and a man stood on the leaves and circled around.
He stretched out his right hand and touched his neck, only to find that the familiar dark blue scarf was gone.
Riskoda paid attention to his bare right shoulder, which had now healed, leaving a scar that was still fresh.
"At that time, she was trying to save me, although it was very bad at the beginning, but she worked hard to the end.
"I didn't?
"Nope! I also want! While she's hurting! Help her! Stay with her!
"But! I couldn't help her with anything when I was in pain!
"Cut! Unwilling! Riskoda touched the wound on his right shoulder and said unwillingly thinking about his incompetence.
At the same time, whether it is external performance or inner performance, Riskoda is very unwilling.
: It's not easy to meet a woman who can love for a lifetime.
As a result, the first time she was injured and in trouble, I couldn't help her!
Can't even be with her! I'm such a wreck! Impotent!
Riskoda frowned and gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with self-reproach, and he fell into a world of self-reflection.
I didn't pay any attention to the feeling around me, and I didn't notice the top, and slowly fell a half-eaten mutilated giant leaf.
When the giant leaf slowly fell down, the man in black appeared in the air and grabbed the giant leaf with one hand, put it in front of the Riskoda who bowed his head and pondered, and said, "Do you want to take a bite?" ”
“!?” Riskoda suddenly heard a word, looked up in shock, and saw that the man in black before had returned.
"How's the two!?
"She's okay!" Riskoda reacted, looked at the man in black in front of him and hurriedly asked.
Seeing that Riskoda was still a little excited, the man in black did not answer Riskoda's words, but shook the leaves in his hand.
“.... Well. Riskoda looked at the man in black anxiously, but the man in black just shook the crescent-like leaves in front of him and motioned for him to eat
After thinking about it incomprehensibly, Riskoda still listened to the man in black, opened his mouth and took a bite, chewing the leaves in his mouth.
“!?”
In an instant, a stream of water sprayed out, refreshing and refreshing! The anxious emotions dissipated in an instant!
The man in black saw that Riskoda's mood had improved, looked at Riskoda and said steadily: "People, it's better to calm down and talk well." ”
"This leaf is amazing, and it contains a dense amount of water magic." After Riskoda calmed down, he looked at the man in black and said in surprise.
Noticing the change in Riskoda's spirit, the man in black shook the leaf in his right hand and replied calmly: "Yes, it can not only improve the spirit and spirit, but also the beauty elixir." ”
"Two, how is she?"
"It can't be saved."
“!? What the! Riskoda asked about Er's situation relaxedly, thinking that he had been cured by the man in black.
But I didn't expect to hear the seemingly unfathomable man in front of me say that he couldn't be saved!
"She's just running out of magic!
"If only you had enough mana for her! If you don't have enough magic, I...."
"Can't be saved, her predicament is not the exhaustion of magic." Before Riskoda could finish speaking, the man in black interjected to stop him.
"What do you mean?
"That's a sign of the depletion of mana." Riskoda looked at the man in black suspiciously, and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"I said, it just looked, like the magic had dried up.
"The magic power is overused, and the magic power of a magic god will automatically absorb the elements outward to fill the magic power.
"During the absorption, the body will have magic that no one else can approach, but it is only a matter of seconds, and the magic cannot be used for a while.
"But you've ever seen someone who has been resupplying magic for so long?
"Is Ru II as weak?" The man in black used a magnetic voice in a false bass voice to explain the reason to Riskoda and then asked rhetorically.
"It is true that when the mana is depleted, it will automatically absorb the surrounding elements to replace the lost mana without causing damage to itself.
"Usually the depleted mana is restored in a few seconds, and then the magic is only temporarily unused.
"But two....
"Cut! I should have noticed it a long time ago! It's not a mana drain! Listening to the words of the man in black, Riskoda frowned, thinking about the performance of the previous two and said out loud.
Then I suddenly realized that the magic power that emerged in the second was not the exhaustion of magic power that automatically absorbed the surrounding elements! It's something else!
"I don't blame you, you're just too worried about two, anxiously worried that when you care about someone's pain, people will always look forward to a better direction.
So they will use all reasons to forcibly mislead themselves.
"You care so much about two, so you use the depletion of mana as a reason to calm yourself down." The man in black said to Riskoda as he nibbled on the leaves in his hand.
The words of the man in black also made Riskoda feel a lot better, and he felt a little less self-blame.
"Can you tell me why?
"Why, do you care so much about a girl who doesn't get along for long?" The man in black didn't wait for Riskoda to exit, and then asked in a low and calm voice.
Hearing the question of the man in black, Riskoda lowered his head and looked at his shoes with a wandering look, then raised his head again and said, "I have always been alone, and vampires feed on blood.
"Therefore, we need to blend in with the Terrans who have the most human reproduction, and because the Terrans are the race with the most ordinary people among all races, we choose to infiltrate the Terrans.
"Many of them in the human race will love each other, produce love that is difficult for us to understand, and they seem to be so happy.
"Whether it's eating, watching a movie, going shopping, or even just two people walking together, it all exudes a sense of happiness.
"We vampires have a lifespan beyond them, and we spend most of our lives sucking blood, because that's our food, and nothing else can get into our stomachs.
"Blood sucking, human blood, is taken away by us, and so is life, and we don't want to kill them, but their blood is our food.
"There is a chance that we will also prey on people who come out on dates at night and watch them fall, be sucked out of blood by us, and lose their lives.
"The longer we live, the more lonely we become, we have been watching the love of others, so gradually we have a longing and, yearning....
"We also crave love, always thinking about the time when we, too, like the human race, will fall in love with someone.
"But love is such a thing as a hard time for us to catch because we are monsters.
"The Terrans call us monsters, vampires are scarce, and our kind are in this cage of long lives.
"Maybe you won't know love until you are killed by the Terrans, or you won't know love until you perish.
"Because of this, we cherish a love very much, and we are very eager for an encounter, a vigorous and romantic love.
"We try to seize any possibility, but people don't accept us, obviously we are close relatives of the human race, but we are not tolerated because we live and restrain each other.
"When I was being pursued by the hunting police and fled here, she picked me up.
"I lay in the cold woods, thinking that my life was over, that I would die for food and blood, and that I would not be able to meet a girl who would like to be with me.
"But two, she picked it up, worried about my wounds, and when she made my wounds worse, she was gone.
"She left me, and I was so scared, afraid that she would leave me alone.
"I had the idea that if she came back eventually, if I got better, I would always be with her.
"In the end, she really came back, cured me, she saved me from despair, she gave hope, and re-lit my melancholy and desperate life.
"She is very lively and very lovely, like a goddess, and I will be infected by her liveliness when I am with her, which makes me experience unprecedented joy.
"Therefore, I can't give up on her, even if my life is dying again for her, I have to seize this long-admired love." Riskoda recalled the previous scenes, clenched his fists and said.
Riskoda's words silenced the man in black for a moment, and the breeze blew, blowing Riskoda's blue hair, as well as the black robe of the man in black.
"I understand why you and Er, in just one day, can be affectionate to each other." The man in black said in an ethereal voice biting the leaves in his hand.
"The food of vampires is blood, and you can't live without blood, didn't you want to suck the blood of the second at that time?
"Even if you don't want to suck now, won't you want to suck until the future?" As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he asked another sensitive question.
And Riskoda was silent in the face of the question of the man in black.
Because he's a blood monster! Isn't it true that you suck Er's blood because you're hungry?
