Volume II: The Puppet, Chapter 54, Epilogue
Chapter 54 Epilogue
The sun was shining outside the window, and it was a good time, but the doors and windows in the house were tightly closed, and there was no trace of sunlight.
Lore hid in the corner of the room alone with his knees crossed, his head bowed, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but the shadow was so obvious in the shade of his hair.
A dozen centimeters in front of Lore, a long sword was quietly horizontally there, forming a triangular shape with the walls on both sides, isolating Lore inside from the outside world.
Seven days had passed since that night, and Lore had locked himself in the house for five days.
The unexpected explosion did not really take anyone's life in the end, and at the critical moment, Lore once again held the "edge", and the force that had protected Lore also appeared again, protecting several people on the high platform.
However, due to the power of the explosion, even if Lore desperately overdrew the power in his body, several people at the center of the explosion were inevitably hit hard.
Two days later, Lore, who was overdrawn, was the first to wake up, while the others were still unconscious.
Looking at the unconscious companions, Lore's heart swelled with an incalculable sense of guilt, all this was not caused by her, but because of her!
The guilt in his heart gripped Lore's heart tightly, and Lore felt like she was about to lose her breath.
Lore locked himself in his room for five days, but the feeling of pain never left for a moment.
It was the first time for General Lance and his wife to see their daughter in such pain, and as parents, they were extremely distressed, but no matter how much they tried to comfort them, they could only let Lore heal alone.
When Leah arrived, General Lance and his wife were so happy that they took her outside Lore's room as soon as possible, hoping that Leah, as Lore's best friend, would be able to cheer Lore back up.
"Lore, I'm Leah. Leah knocked on the door.
"Leah?"
The hoarse and dry voice made Leah subconsciously frown: "Well, I've come to see you, can you open the door?"
Lore struggled to get up, but found that he had maintained a position for too long, and had not eaten for several days, and he had no strength to stand firmly, and he barely stood up, but suddenly fell to the ground.
Listening to the muffled sound coming from the house, the faces of the three of them changed at the same time, and General Lance next to him kicked open the door without saying a word: "Daughter, are you okay?"
After finding that Lore was only a little weak, the three of them were relieved, and at the same time felt a little distressed, but Lore couldn't take care of herself, she just stared at Leah tightly, and asked anxiously, "Are they all right?"
Leah comforted Lore as she helped Lore to the bed with Mrs. Lance, "Don't worry! they're all right, I'm here to tell you these things!"
Lore felt the pain in his chest lessen a bit.
Seeing this, Madame Lance hurriedly said, "If there is anything to talk about slowly, let's eat something first, husband, you go and get something to eat!"
General Lance was a little reluctant, but after thinking that if he let his wife prepare food, his daughter would probably have to suffer some more crimes, and it would be appropriate to go by himself, so General Lance went non-stop.
And here, Lore still grabbed Leah's hand tightly and looked at Leah with an expectant expression, Leah sighed and said, "You lie down first, listen to me tell you slowly." β
"Okay! I'll lie down!" Lore said, lying down obediently, and then continued to look at Leah.
Leah tucked the corners of the quilt for Lore again, and then spoke slowly: "Aitch recovered faster, he woke up the day before yesterday, but the healer in the palace said to let him rest for a few more days, otherwise he would definitely come with me!"
"Rick, Vickers, and Myron are relatively seriously injured, but they have all woken up one after another in the past two days, and the control of the "puppet" has been lifted, and the rest will be fine as long as they recover for a few more days!
Leah said it very easily, but how could Lore not know that she was comforting herself, the high platform was the center of the explosion, and Lore and the others had the protection of the "edge" enchantment, but they were lightly injured, and the three of Like in the audience were in a coma at the time, and they had no ability to protect themselves, so although they were not the center of the explosion, the three of them were more seriously injured than Edge.
Hearing that they were okay, Lore's heart was relieved, but Lore's main concern was the biggest victim of this incident, Corelli.
Lore hesitated and asked, "What about Sister Corelli?"
Leah frowned slightly, and said, "Senior Sister Corelli hasn't woken up yet......"
Lore couldn't help but look nervous again.
Leah hurriedly said, "But don't worry! The healers in the palace have all seen it, and the injuries on her body don't matter anymore, it's just ...... It's just that the blow was too big, so ......"
"It's all my fault!" said Lore, reproaching himself.
"Lore, how can I blame you for this? It's all caused by that Anansias!"
"But her goal is ...... me"
"Lore!" Leah bent down and held Loel's face with her hand, and said very seriously, "Kindness is not a fault!
Lore's eyes darkened, she knew what Leah was trying to say, but
Corelli's "why" was always hovering in Lore's mind, and where could she be relieved?
Leah sighed, knowing that it was impossible for her to get Lore out of this guilt for a moment, and that only time could heal her inner pain.
"Lore, there's something else to tell you. Corelli's sister Mino suddenly disappeared in the process of being sent for treatment, according to my eldest brother's investigation, there were only three people in Corelli's family from beginning to end, Corelli's sister did not exist at all, and Nolans also said that that Mino was most likely the illusionist we met before. β
Lore frowned slightly, this was also expected by her, she was now puzzled by the last scene she saw, in the explosion, she seemed to see a strange figure to protect Corelli in her arms.
Lore didn't know if it was her own delusion, and if it wasn't, then why would she, as an enemy, protect Corelli?
Before Lore could figure it out, Leah's next words caused her concern again, as Leah mentioned Kylo.
"As for Kylo, Lore, I'm sorry that no trace of him has been found until now. I also asked the eldest brother, the girl named Ke Lian seems to have met the mysterious silver-haired woman who had appeared before, but the silver-haired woman was seriously injured and fled, and that Ke Lian was also seriously injured, and the scene of the battle was the home of Sister Corelli, because there was also an explosion at the scene, many traces were destroyed, plus the silver woman's magic was also ice-based, so it was impossible to tell if Kylo had appeared there. β
"There is also Ancias behind the scenes, who is also missing, and she can't be traced at all, and after Dean, the son of Count Lawrence, woke up, the eldest brother also went to contact him, but he didn't get any useful information. β
Ancias's whereabouts are of course important, but Lore is more worried about the missing Kylo.
Rationally speaking, with the precedent of An An's betrayal before, coupled with Kylo's strange behavior in this incident, Lore should treat Kylo as a potential enemy, but Lore couldn't think of anything other than worry.
Lore didn't understand Kylo's move, but she still wanted to trust Kylo and still regarded him as an important companion.
......
In a quiet room deep in the Arazawa Palace, King Kairui and Prince Ji'an stood opposite each other.
King Kerry asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"
Ji An lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully: "According to Mr. Gouid, Ke Lian's sudden fainting is not the cause of the injuries in her body, but the 'curse' is wrong!"
King Kerry frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Ji An said: "I don't know, after all, the artifact is different from ordinary alchemy weapons, although Mr. Gouid's alchemy attainments are at the peak
However, Mr. Gourd also said that he would do his best!"
King Kerry sighed and said, "Then leave it to him! If he has any requests, try to satisfy him! Tell him not to worry about the future, just go all out!"
"Yes! I'll tell him!" and ......" Ji'an looked like he was about to speak.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmmβit's about Leah, shouldn't Aitch be involved?"
King Kerry groaned for a moment, and said, "Well, wait a little longer! That kid is not mature enough! Tell him now, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
Ji An said respectfully: "Yes!"
"Also, this "puppet" artifact that Ke Lian brought back will be handed over to you for safekeeping for the time being! You can secretly choose some suitable people to try to sign a contract with the "puppet", but you must be cautious when choosing, and you would rather let the "puppet" be put on hold than choose someone with a different heart!"
"Yes! I will definitely check this point myself! Please rest assured, father!"
King Kerry patted Ji'an on the shoulder, he was still very relieved about this son!
What the two didn't notice was that while the two were talking, the puppet on the table had a red light in its eyes!
......
Arashizawa Demon Martial Academy, in a girls' dormitory in the second year of the alchemy department, Weiss looked at Aier who opened his eyes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Aier shook his palm gently, although he was still weak, he already felt alive: "It seems that I am still alive!"
"Yes, of course you're still alive! But if you don't wake up, I'm going to die! I'm still worried about dying!"
Seven days ago, the battle between Al and Ke Lian turned out to be a victory for Ke Lian, and in the end, the "puppet" also fell into her hands, however, although Ai paid a considerable price, he still escaped alive.
After Al escaped alive, he didn't choose to go back to the temple, and the apartment of Lore's adventure team definitely couldn't go, so she thought of Vess, first, it was a good hiding place, and second, El still trusted Vess!
It's just that Al never thought how frightened Vis was when he looked at her dying.
Because of Aier's confession before he fainted, Weiss didn't dare to find a therapist, nor did he dare to show his feet in front of his teachers and classmates, so he could only desperately learn medical knowledge by himself.
Fortunately, El's vitality is tenacious enough, and Ves's learning ability is good enough, and after seven days, Al finally woke up!
Seeing Vess's worried look, Al raised his lips slightly
Jiao, the cold look on his face also softened slightly: "I'm sorry to worry you!"
Weiss pursed his lips, turned his head and rubbed his eyes, and said, "You're fine! Are you hungry? Wait a minute! I'll get you something to eat!"
Weiss left a word and turned and fled, she was afraid to stay any longer, she would really cry in front of Aier, she had known Aier for a long time, but the number of times she met was very small, and it was the first time she had seen Aier's soft expression.
In the past few days, he has been frightened, he has not thought about tea and dinner, and he has not even been able to sleep well, but now when he sees Al with such a soft look, Weston feels a lot more relieved.
Al looked at the back of Vess's departure, she was very moved by what Vis had done, but she had to leave, her mission had not been completed, and the regular replies with the temple had also been wronged, and she could not delay at all now!
So taking advantage of the gap between Weiss's departure, Aier decided not to say goodbye, but when she urged the artifact on her right wrist to "transform", she was shocked to find that "transformation" did not respond!
Aier's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly observed the appearance of the bracelet carefully, only to find that the original silver bracelet was covered with black lines at some point!
Aier recalls the last scene of her battle with Ke Lian, when she desperately approached Ke Lian with her life in order to save her life, and it was at that time that the two artifacts collided directly!
Could it be that it was because of that exchange that something went wrong with the "conversion"?
Al couldn't figure it out, but she had to accept the fact that she had to face an unprecedented amount of trouble now!
She didn't know if the "transformation" would be able to recover, and how long it would take, but until then, she would have to live as an Irish Tees!
(The "puppet volume" is over, the "real" heroine is officially launched, and the next volume of "simulation" continues!)
