175. To live is to make constant choices

The chaos in the underworld shows no signs of improving at all, but considering the fact that every civil strife jihad in the underworld cannot end in one or two hundred years, it may take a long time for peace to return to the underworld. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just this time, because the dark elves are stimulated by the matter of unifying the entire forest of deep understanding, I'm afraid that this time the civil strife holy war will be fought for a long time.

The underworld is in chaos, and the surface world is not much better.

The Void Empire, which has been recognized as a mad dog by countless countries, after tossing the Southern Continent, went all the way north and began to toss along the way, until now it finally began to make trouble in the Northern Continent.

The kingdom of Gnes, just yesterday, completely surrendered.

And immediately after, after the Kingdom of Gnes, the other two kingdoms that were in the march route of the Void Expeditionary Force also unconditionally opened up the right of military access.

Now in the Northern Continent, as long as a normal person is a little bit of a normal person, he can see that the Saint Joels Empire is already in a weak position.

There is an army of the Maggie Empire in the east, and the skirmishes at the border are becoming more and more intense, and the army of the St. Joels Empire cannot go south at all.

In addition, the God of War Kingdom didn't know what to suddenly go crazy, and actually dared to send troops one after another to attack the area controlled by the St. Joels Empire. And what is even more surprising is that the St. Joels Empire not only did not have any counterattack, but began to withdraw troops one after another in a large area, giving up all the areas to the God of War Kingdom, which also made countless people look confused.

Only those strategists know that the St. Joles Empire is probably already in a weak state at this moment, and it has no strength to start a war with the God of War Kingdom, the Void Empire, and the Maggie Empire at the same time.

This news has made countless people know that the fall and fall of the Duchy of Rumber is only a matter of time.

However, what really upset countless people was that the Void Empire actually had a fourth super powerhouse!

It is said that the high-level leaders of countless countries have directly scolded them in private, which leaves no way for other countries to survive. But scolding and scolding, in the face of such a powerful Void Empire, they still can't do anything, or rather, they can't do anything at all, they can only pray that the mad dog of the Void Empire won't come to trouble them.

No matter how these countries discussed in private, and didn't care when the Principality of Rumber would be breached, Cecilia got the design drawings of the magic core source energy from the Maggie Empire, and returned directly to the Void Empire with a group of Maggie Empire researchers, and then with the assistance of the staff of the Haytham Research Institute and Tungsten Ramo, everyone plunged into the research and development of the magic core source energy.

It was only then that the researchers of the Maggie Empire were surprised to discover why the Void Empire was so eager to want this magic core source energy.

This thing, if combined with the second-generation magic guide power machine that the Void Empire is working on with all its might, its effect is absolutely amazing and terrifying.

With this in mind, the staff immediately threw themselves into a new round of frenzied research and development.

Almost every day, in the underground research institute of the Gorge Fortress, you can see the ecstatic, fanatical, and focused looks on the faces of these R&D personnel. Just as the devout are fanatical about believing in gods, these scientists are in a state of fanaticism for their own research and development.

These people, so fanatical that they didn't even notice that there was an active abyss path about three or four hundred meters away from their research site. As long as this Abyss Path has enough power to activate and counteract, its entry point will be controlled by the Void Empire, and then it will continue to send troops to the underground world, so as to obtain greater strategic space and strategic resources.

Of course, the people of the Void Empire would definitely not let these researchers discover this place easily.

Not to mention anything else, just those crypt cold spiders stationed on this passage are demonic beasts that no one recognizes except Sheena. Their individual strength may not be high, but the number is extremely large, if they rush up densely, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the strong people above the non-legendary level to ask for benefits, and if the strength is lower, they will even die on this "death channel".

However, Hina, who is the true owner of these crypt cold spiders, does not look very good-looking.

From obscurity, to one of the three leading figures of the fourth generation of the Void Empire, Sheena. Vorster's reputation has gone from strength to strength. Of course, there are not many people who have actually seen her in person, including Orianna and Speight, the three leading figures of the fourth generation of the Void Empire, who are now also on the same level as Sheena, and there are only a few palms.

The main reason for this situation is that Sheena has been staying in the underground of the Gorge Fortress for a long time and rarely comes out to show up.

Today, however, it seems to be an exception.

In the military district of the Gap Fortress, a silver-haired girl many people have never met strolled.

She has a leisurely posture and an elegant temperament, looking more like a noble girl than a soldier, but on the contrary, her body always exudes a solemn aura. The soldiers in the Gorge Fortress are all veterans who have really been on the battlefield and survived the extremely tragic battles, so they know very well what kind of aura of slaughter emanates from this girl's body.

To put it nicely, it is the murderous spirit of the soldiers.

If it sounds ugly, it is human slaughter. Only a veteran of the battlefield who has slaughtered countless living beings will have such an invisible might.

Just when the soldiers didn't know what to do with the matter, they saw a beautiful woman with blond hair walking towards the silver-haired girl. Many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the blonde woman.

Oriana.

One of the leading figures of the younger generation of the Void Empire today represents the military power of the Savage Lands. Her troops were stationed in Oasis City, and occasionally came to the Gorge Fortress to carry out a series of offensive and defensive exercises with Stalin's defenders, and from the perspective of effect, the effect on the improvement of military strength and military literacy was obviously good.

It is precisely because of this that the defenders on this side of the Gorge Fortress all know this beautiful general who is very beautiful and has a very dangerous temperament.

Of course, what is more trusted is her strength.

Ignoring the concerned gazes of the soldiers around her, Orianna looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her, with a rare solemn look on her face: "Accelerate? ”

The silver-haired girl nodded, her voice carrying a unique coldness: "The potion developed by Laice has begun to be irrepressible, she said, the only way now is to completely strip this bloodline out." ”

"And what are you going to do?" Oriana's brow furrowed, "Does your father know?" ”

"I ...... Didn't tell my father. The silver-haired girl shook her head, "I don't know what to say. …… What would he think if he knew that his daughter would soon turn into a spider? …… Although Laice may seem a little strange, she is indeed an authority in this regard, and I see that even the bloodline research experts at the Haytham Institute are inviting her to join their faction. ”

"Sheena ......" Oriana's voice looked a little pained, "what the hell did Laice say." ”

"If I don't have another surgery to strip the blood within a month, then I won't be able to strip it again." The silver-haired girl, who is now one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Void Empire, is also the fourth generation of high-ranking people who have been appointed as the next commander of the Gorge Fortress. Vorster, at this moment, her expression is unprecedentedly weak, "And in half a year at the latest, I will be completely demonized." …… The bloodline of the Crypt Spider Queen is affected by the higher-level bloodline, and it is no longer possible to suppress it through drugs or other means, she has completely changed my bloodline. Perhaps, if I have children in the future, in a few generations, I will be able to get rid of this spider demonization. ”

"Then why don't you strip it?" Oriana asked in a deep voice.

"If I strip away, then I'll be back to being a normal person." Sheena whispered, "But then I won't be able to command and control the spiders. The safety of the underground research institute cannot be guaranteed in any way. And I'm ...... will even become an ordinary person with no strength. ”

"Is it worth it?" Oriana's voice was a little uncomfortable.

Although in front of outsiders, the two of them have now been portrayed as political enemies who balance the situation and oppose each other, but in fact, the personal relationship between the two has always been very good. After all, both of them once had the same master: Sean, and when Oriana first came to the Void Duchy, it was Sheena who always received her, and later when the two of them went on their first mission, they also supported each other, encouraged and cooperated with each other, and the relationship between the two of them has far exceeded that of ordinary people, and can even be said to be closer than sisters.

It is precisely because of this that when Orianna learns that Sheena is likely to transform into a spider, her heart feels a throbbing pain for no reason, which is a stronger emotion than Sheena herself.

Because Orianna knows that the Crypt Spider, since this spider is called the Crypt, it is obviously a creature that cannot see the light.

This can be seen by looking at Shena's increasingly white hair and whitening skin.

Once the spider is demonized, Sheena will never be able to come out of the earth again.

Perhaps, it was only at night that she was able to leave the ground and come to the surface.

"Nothing worth it and not worth it." Hina chuckled, but this smile was particularly distressing in Oriana's eyes, "My father can sacrifice his life for the Void Empire, and I, as his daughter, how can I ruin his reputation?" ”

"This damn reputation!" Orianna cursed.

But Sheena only shook her head slightly: "It has nothing to do with fame, I just look forward to my father very much, and I have always longed to be a hero like him." …… Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I used to be very timid, and I didn't dare to do anything. When I first came here, it was just a very shabby little territory, and then my father often went out to fight, and I was always the only one in the house, and during that time it was Uncle Neil, Lord Sean, and Uncle William who took turns accompanying me. ”

"From that moment on, I set a goal for myself, I wanted to be like my father and be needed by everyone."

Listening to Sheena recount her previous memories, Orianna didn't know why, but her heart ached.

And then ...... That's what you know, because of an accident, I got this power, and I was very happy at the time. Because I feel that I can finally become the person who is needed by everyone. Then, I began to study hard, grow hard, and finally dared to go to the battlefield for the first time and dare to slash the enemy. It was a time when I look back on it now. ”

"You've done enough." Orianna whispered.

"Uncle Sean hasn't come back yet." Sheena shook her head slightly, "I can often see that Sister Cecilia is always standing in the Abyss Path and staring down, often standing there all day. If I give up now, then there will be no one to protect this underground research room, and there will be no one to protect the Abyss Path, which will increase everyone's stress and work, and I don't want to do that. ”

"Then you're going to sacrifice yourself?" Oriana's voice was already a little angry, "Don't you dare to say it, I'll go tell Miss Cecilia!" ”

"Don't!" Sheena hurriedly grabbed Oriana, "Sister Cecilia knows about this. …… She told me to strip the blood right away, and ordered Laice to prepare. I was supposed to have surgery today, but I ...... Sneaked out. ”

"You ......," Oriana froze, "is there no other way?" ”

"I'll tell you a story." Sheena sighed softly, "This is the story I read from a book the other day." ”

"Oh?" Orianna raised an eyebrow, "What's the story?" ”

"The story is about a couple of lovers who live apart. And then the boy, who went to join the army, left only the girl at home, and he said that he would come back in two years to marry her. Sheena chuckled, then spoke, her voice soft, "But when the boy went to join the army, another boy appeared. He thought that the girl had no lover, so he started a pursuit of the girl, but when the girl said that she already had a lover, and the lover went to join the army, the second boy said that he didn't mind waiting, maybe the boy didn't come back in two years. ”

"It's really hard to talk about joining the army and fighting." Orianna nodded.

"But, the boy who joined the army was just going to train recruits in the reserves." Hina sighed and continued, "But anyway, the second boy broke into the girl's life very arrogantly, despite the girl's objections. I will bring her greetings every day, and I will accompany her, anyway, I will do a lot of things......"

"This boy is despicable." Oriana pursed her lips disdainfully, "Ignoring that girl's wishes......"

Hina shrugged her shoulders and continued, "And then, unknowingly, this girl also likes the boy. So at this time, the girl panicked, she felt that she had done something sorry for her lover, so she began to desperately refuse the second boy's overtures, and did not even dare to see him again, because the heavy guilt almost made the girl breathless, and she felt very ashamed that her will was not strong. ”

But the second boy still didn't give up, he continued to pursue the girl, continued to intervene in the girl's life brutally and rudely, and even said that he didn't mind waiting. But the girl did not agree to continue the relationship, because she felt that it was a sin. ”

"And then? What happened? ”

"Later...... Hina dragged out the last note, "I don't know." The second half of the book was burned, and I don't know the ending. ”

"Ah, I'm angry." Oriana snorted heavily, "So what exactly are you trying to express?" ”

"You see, there's no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, and we just keep making choices when we live." Hina smiled, "I think that girl's last choice must be to return to her lover's side." And then the boy also chose to wait and accompany from the beginning. ”

"What do you mean......"

"I've made the choice from the beginning." Sheena said softly, "I won't, strip this bloodline, even if it will make me demonic, but this is also my choice." …… I don't regret it. (To be continued.) )
