CH.35 It's like a dream
Nissa turned a deaf ear to the girl's cries and continued on her way, wishing she could be as cruel as the desert.
"Don't leave me, if you can't take me, kill me! I don't want to be tortured anymore, and instead of dying of thirst, it's better to be freed and suffer a little less sin. The girl cried out in despair.
Hearing this, Nissa's calm expression suddenly changed, and she remembered an unwritten rule in the army.
If a soldier is mortally wounded in a war and is tormented in great pain before he dies, the other soldiers must take the soldier's life as soon as possible, lest the soldier have to suffer before he dies.
The soldiers called this practice "giving mercy."
Sometimes, it is also a form of mercy to give a person death.
Nissa paused, sighed, and slowly turned around and walked back to the girl.
"Thank you." The girl had already anticipated her fate, closed her eyes, and waited for death to come. Isn't this a relief for her?
Nissa raised her hands and slowly reached for the girl's neck, she had no weapon on her hand, and she had to end the girl's life in this way. The closer she gets to the girl's neck, the slower her speed becomes, and it is really not an easy thing to kill a young girl, not to mention that she has no grievances with the girl and no fetters.
"You go first, and in a little while, I might die here, and then we'll go together." Nissa wanted to comfort the girl.
"Well, I'll go to see the Vulcan Packas before you." The girl closed her eyes and nodded. A resigned expression.
"Fire God Pakas......" Nissa muttered the name of the god, which is a god worshiped by the Redheads, who are rumored to have been born from the flames spit out by the Fire God Pakas. The girl can name Pakas, the god of fire. It must be someone from the redheads. Nissa's gaze wandered, noticing the girl's fiery red hair, "You're from the same clan as me. She muttered.
"Yes, we have the same hair color."
Nissa's hand dangling in mid-air hesitated, and it wasn't kindness that made her hesitate, but a sense of duty deep in her soul. After a violent mental struggle, her hand changed direction. Instead of grabbing the girl's neck, he grabbed the girl's arms and body, and carried the girl on her back.
"What are you going to do?" The girl asked.
"I am the king of the redheads. You can't abandon the redheads! Nissa cried stubbornly, thinking of her noble identity from the confusion of her memories. She took a step forward with the girl on her back, which was heavier than she had imagined. The calf immediately sank into the yellow sand.
"I'm going to drag you to death."
"You have to be grateful for your hair color. If you're not a redhead, I don't care if you live or die. But as long as you are a redhead, I cannot abandon you, it is my duty as a king. Nissa held the girl's arms in front of her and walked forward with difficulty, her pace at least half as slow as before, like a turtle crawling.
"Thank you, you're such a nice person." The girl said gratefully.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's be honest and lie on my stomach. "Nissa is in this state now, and it is difficult to say a word. I really don't want to talk anymore. She walked forward, leaving a deeper line of footprints in the sand.
Nissa walked more and more slowly, and it was as if she had a thousand pounds on her shoulders, and with each step, she had to exert all her strength. Her body was already overwhelmed, and she was supported by a thought, and once she stopped, she would definitely fall to the ground.
But no matter how difficult it was, she didn't have the idea of giving up on the girl, and she wanted to stay with the girl.
"Big sister, look ahead, there seems to be an oasis there!" The girl said suddenly.
Nissa was stunned for a moment, then raised her head with difficulty and looked ahead. As the girl said, there was a small oasis in front of her, with several tall shuttle trees growing around a pool of water, and some plants growing at the water's edge.
"This can't be a mirage, right?" Nissa muttered to herself, a little incredulous at what she saw.
But whether it's true or not, you have to walk over and take a look.
Nissa carried the girl all the way to the oasis, lowered her to the water's edge, and then leaned down and put her hand in the water.
It wasn't until she felt the coolness in the water that she believed what she saw, that it was truly an oasis!
"Water! Water! Water! Nissa cheered, pressing her face to the water, frantically sucking in the water from the pool, a chill flowing down her throat and pulling her back from the brink of death.
Nissa poured plenty of water, then scooped up the water and wiped herself. The girl next to her also drank a lot of water and looked much better.
After drinking the water, Nissa rekindled her hope and carried the girl on her back to continue on her way.
Probably because of the time that came and went, not long after the two left the oasis, they came to the end of the desert, where they encountered a green mountain overgrown with plants and a mountain road that led into the distance.
"Great, we're out of the desert!" Nissa was overjoyed and turned her head to look at the girl she was carrying. As she turned around, the landscape shifted, the desert vanished, the sun scorched, and a room with many white points of light was replaced.
Nissa passed the test and escaped the illusion.
"This ......" Nissa froze, her mind stuck at the critical point where illusion and reality were intertwined, and she only felt dizzy, a feeling of half-dreaming and half-awake.
"You're waking up pretty quickly, I thought it would take you a while to pass the test." An Rui came up with a smile.
"Fantasy...... By the way, this is the land of inheritance, and the desert I just entered is actually an illusion. Nissa gradually came back to her senses and understood the situation, "This illusion is so real that I can't tell the truth from the fake, and it erases some of my memories, and I even forgot that I can perform magic. ”
"It only shows that your ancestor is very powerful."
"How long have I been in the illusion?"
"I didn't look at the specific time, I guess it's only two minutes."
"Two minutes? So short? Nissa was taken aback, "I've been in the illusion for more than a day. ”
"Illusions are just illusions after all, no matter how long it has been, it's just a snap of a finger." An Rui smiled, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the door on the opposite side of the room, "You have escaped the illusion and proved that you have passed the final test, hurry up and open the door to get your blood inheritance."
