Chapter 503: Sacrifice (Medium)

"You......" Ataya laughed again, "why are you more and more like the young patriarch?" ”

"I'm not like him!" I hurriedly defended, "I've beaten him, I've won the championship, and I haven't given you the crown yet!" ”

"I didn't even expect you to beat him," Ataya said, "I didn't even expect ......"

"I told you when I went," I said, "look! ”

I touched the top of my head, and the laurels were still there.

"I've seen it a long time ago," said Atayal, "and you saw it when you were asleep in the Sacred Tree Garden, and it really scared me." ”

"I'm a champion now!" I said, "I've won the Young Patriarch ......."

Ata's smile became more and more bitter: "But, so what? ”

"In this way, the young patriarch is not qualified to propose to you!" I said what I had always wanted to say, "I, I, I, I want, I'm going to propose to you!" No, no, no, I just want to, want to be with you, and if you don't want to accept it, I can ...... too"

"Don't say it......" Ataya shook her head.

"You, don't you accept it?" I was stunned.

"No, I didn't mean that." Ataya said.

Hope reigned in me.

"It's not ......," Atayal seemed to be entangled.

"What's that?" I was anxious, "As long as you say it, I can accept it!" As long as it makes you happy, I will do it! ”

Leo spoke out of place at this time: "Well, cough...... That, two, can you listen to my advice? You're running out of time, so it's better to get it clear quickly......"

Then I remembered that Leo was still there, and I was a little embarrassed.

He listened to what he had just said.

Really, embarrassing......

However, Leo doesn't seem to take this seriously, after all, he is the calmest one.

"Look at the feet of Atayal Priest." He said.

I quickly bowed my head.

Close to the tabletop, Atayal's feet, gone!

Her hooves were gone, just above her ankles, and they were slowly disappearing, like torches burning little by little......

"What's going on!" I questioned Leo in shock and anger.

"Sure enough, it's already begun." Ataya seemed to have known for a long time, his face calmed down, and he asked Leo, "Blade Warrior, how much time do I have left?" ”

"Actually, there's still a meal to spare," Leo said, "enough to make it clear what needs to be said, or shall I avoid it?" ”

Ataya said, "No, what I said, you can be a witness to the Blade Warrior." ”

"......No," I shook my head and said to Leo, "I beg you, as long as I can save Atayal, I will agree to whatever you say!" ”

"Bihon, you don't want this!" Ataya sternly said, "You've been doing well all along, don't be this useless before I die, I'll be sad!" ”

"Atayal ......" I felt very uncomfortable suddenly, but I couldn't say it.

"I already knew you liked me, but I couldn't accept it, and I also knew that I didn't want to marry the young patriarch, but I couldn't refuse," Ataya said, "Now, my time is running out, so I must tell you ......"

Suddenly, she reached out and touched my face.

The smoky hand began to crumble as it touched her skin, but she rubbed it for a moment as if she had actually touched me.

I felt the soft touch of her hand and looked at her in a daze.

"I really want to thank you," she said, "for giving me courage." ”

I didn't understand what she meant.

"Actually, when you met in the semi-finals, I was already determined," she said, "and I had already decided that no matter which of the two of you wins, I would turn down the marriage." ”

"Huh?" I was surprised.

When I found out that I was going to have a match with the young patriarch, I wondered what Atayal would do, but now she told me that she would refuse to marry no matter the outcome.

What is this? A belated surprise? Or is it the comfort of parting?

But I don't want to!

"Now you can rightfully refuse him!" I said, "I know you're forced, and I don't want to see you embarrassed!" ”

"But I didn't say I wanted to accept you." She said.

"No!" I shook my head, "It's okay if you don't accept it, as long as you can be happy, you can do anything!" If you choose someone else, I will also bless you and protect you silently, but I hope that that person is me! ”

"However, I have made the choice now." Ataya began to smile bitterly, "I didn't expect that I missed your game and was selected as an excellent priest when I arrived at the temple...... As a result, I was really chosen, after all, Lord Terraria was originally a heroic spirit of the Minotaur race, and after entering the kingdom of God, she also took care of the Minotaur believers, so she chose me, and I had the opportunity to get a higher status, I could do more for the people, and I had more reasons to refuse the young patriarch, just like the high priest refused to marry back then......"

"Huh?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear her mention the High Priest of the Thunder City Temple.

"Well, these sudden enemies have severely wounded the Terraria Oracle...... Hehe, I know it's a big rebellion, but I really think it's too good......" Ataya seemed to be talking to herself, "If she returns to the Kingdom of God with a serious injury, it will be very difficult for the Mother Goddess to send another messenger, and at this time, no one in the temple can stop the powerful Elofine...... At this time, it happened to be me who could save all this. ”

"So you ......" I already knew that she had made such a choice, but when I heard her say it herself, my heart was still like pressing a stone, and it became more and more uncomfortable.

"It was probably the best decision I ever made," Ataya said, "and I used to think that I was doing too little for my people, but now I can be a hero to save the day." ”

"But what you pay is your ......" I felt more and more uncomfortable, and my eyes and nose were even more sour and astringent.

Then my vision was blurry.

I cried.

The last time I cried was when I was away from home, when I was facing the whole world and I was confused.

This time, I was facing the beloved who was about to be lost, and I knew what would happen to her, and I was not confused, but I felt endless grief and powerlessness!

"Yes, isn't it good to give my life to save many people's lives?" Ataya said, "Isn't it more worthwhile for me to do this than those fighters who exchange their lives for their lives on the battlefield?" Why are you crying? ”

"But you don't want to think about how many people will be sad for you!" Through the tears, I could see that Atayal's body was getting more and more blurred, becoming a faint glowing shadow.

"But you also said that if we don't come forward, the homes behind us, our dearest families, will be destroyed by the enemy," said Atayal, "and even you, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape, right?" The battle between the oracles is really not something that we mortals can resist, and I have seen you face the elven envoy Elofine......

"I know...... But why does it have to be you? I reached out and wiped away a handful of tears to see the expression on her face.

"If it were someone else, they would do the same, wouldn't they?" Ataya said, "Like you." ”

"I will, of course I will! But I don't want this person to be you! I said.

"Don't be stupid, only I have such a chance, you want this opportunity, not yet," Ataya smiled again, "Look, you saved me twice, I still owe you once, I'm afraid, I won't be able to pay it back in the future......"

"I don't want you to ......," I said, "I just want you to live!" ”

"Look at you, you're childish again," said Ataya "Actually, Iru has always been right, we are all like children, only she is like an adult, and now, I kind of understand what an adult should do." ”

"I don't want to understand this now!" I said, "I just want you to live!" ”

Ata's face suddenly darkened: "It turns out that what you said before to defend your homeland and protect your clansmen is a lie?" Do you think I'm more precious than they are? ”

I hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant...... But, but, as soon as there is another way, even if I am asked to die instead of you, I am willing! I, I don't want to, lose you! ”

"Are you really willing, in my place?" Ataya asked.

"Of course!" I nodded repeatedly.

"That's enough with you," said Atayal, "Actually, if I had given me a little more time, I might have accepted you, but now, fate has arranged for me to do something more important, and you, too, have proved that I am worth it." ”

"Leo!" I couldn't help but turn around and grabbed Leo who was hiding to the side, "You must find a way, please!" ”

Leo looked at Ataya with an embarrassed expression.

"Bihon!" Ataya raised her voice again, "You don't want this! ”

"Please!" I had no other way, and I didn't dare to look at Atayal, so I could only keep begging, "As long as you promise, I will do everything you say!" ”

Ataya was annoyed by my actions and shouted, "Bihon, you, if you do this, I will end my life immediately!" Ah......h

She suddenly screamed in pain.

I was startled and hurriedly turned back.

But I saw that her spirit body had disappeared to her calves!

I'm even more scared!

"Can you, before I die, grant my last request......" Ataya also looked at me pleadingly, "Don't let me see you so fragile and naïve, in my heart, you should be the warrior who will move forward no matter how strong the enemy is, not the coward you look like now!"
