Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Small Victory

On the other side, Lulunaka's hand touched Marina's face. The face was almost as good as a bone, but there was still a piece of skin, and the two empty eye sockets looked even more terrifying in the gloomy darkness. But Lulunaka just shook her head, looking very sorry. "Among those who have suffered a tragic fate with a treasure, you are probably ...... Someone will die from the arrogance and madness that comes with power, but haven't you ever thought of using it to make your life better?"

"I used to think so. Marina whispered, "I've had the idea of living a good life, and I've had the idea of taking action for it." But that war changed everything. ”

Lulunaka was silent, she knew which war Marina was talking about. A young woman like Marina - not young anymore - such a young woman, in the past ten years, can experience the only war, that war. Let the King's Castle collapse and change its name will completely become a historical war of the past.

"You were still in the city. Lulunaka laughed, "If you look in the direction you're going, you should be able to vaguely see that the wooden castle made of rotten wood is about to finish, why did you come back?"

"I want to get those who have helped me out of there and avoid this devastating war. Speaking of this, Marina chuckled, "Do you remember, the young man who followed me and had an unconcealable affection for me, that immature warrior who came from a wealthy family and insisted on cultivating. ”

"Of course, do you need me to remind you of his name?" said Lulunaka, "I'm afraid your memory of him is blurry. But when did you find out that I was the little girl who sacrificed herself to save you?"

In response to Lulunaka's curious question, Marina just shook her head, "That's not important...... I remember him because I saw him dead on the wall, and I ...... I can't explain to him why this is. Speaking of this, Marina was silent for a long time, "If I had seen more clearly, then I would not have hesitated to find a way to get him and his family out of the King's Castle, even if it was by a less than good means." But I didn't see it clearly, and at that time, I saw everything vaguely, because I was not determined enough, and I watched the tragedy unfold. ”

Marina grabbed the cage's fingers, and suddenly with force, she clung to the railing, her fingers white, "If I could see more clearly, see more...... After getting away from the ruins, I shattered the hourglass you gave me. Then I poured that blue sand into my ......"

Marina's hand was withdrawn and placed on her own eyeballless socket, "into my eyes." ”

Lulunaka listened quietly to Marina's whisper, and after hearing the final ending of the hourglass, she sighed, "You're so bold, but mages are willful, and I'm not surprised from the bottom of my heart." ”

"After that, my eyes saw a lot of things, past, present, future......" Marina continued, "Finally, I saw you in the distant past......"

Lulunaka's hand pressed against Marina's mouth, making it impossible for her to say more. Her face was calm and her smile was gentle, but what was under her smile made it impossible for Marina to continue. "It's not good, it's really bad, Miss Marina. What you see may be true, but just seeing the fragments will lead you to the wrong path, like the countless people I have seen who are called prophets and are actually crazy. I don't want another living example in front of me. ”

Marina's voice began to tremble, "That's all real, isn't it my imagination?" she looked at Lulunaka with her eyeballless sockets, "If that's true, then why are you ......"

The rest of the words, Marina couldn't go on. Lulunaka silenced her and sighed, "I said, what you see is real, but it's not the whole picture, maybe not even the fragments." You look like you're completely crooked, but you look like you're still saved. ”

"What to do. Lulunaka muttered, then pulled open the door to the cage. "Anyway, I'll take you with me first. Since you're here because of me, let me do a little bit of responsibility. Come, come with me. It's okay if you don't want to come with me, but you don't have a chance to listen to me about something interesting, so that's okay?"

It's a temptation, Marina knows it, just like the hourglass, it's a naked temptation. But it was a temptation that no one could resist, an invitation from Lulunaka, and she had no reason to refuse. She had nothing to lose, and what she would gain from Lulunaka was probably the only thing she could look forward to.

Marina reached out and took Lulunaka's hand. "As you wish, Matsuki. ”

Lulunaka had an awkward smile on her face, "It's better to call me Lulunaka, and don't use any strange titles, okay?"

Marina nodded silently.

When Luluna takes Marina out of her cage, on the other side, the explosive catastrophe is finally over.

The eyeballs that swept the light were either shriveled and debris due to excessive emitting light, or they were swept away by the light of the other eyeball and fell in half. By the time there was no more light in the space and silence returned, it had become unrecognizable. Nothing is complete, although nothing is truly complete in this ruined space full of garbage, but when the garbage is also divided into neat pieces, when the ground is not densely strewn, this is definitely not a normal world.

Jessica was protected by Gendina's body and iron wings, and she was not harmed, but the light that still fell on Gendina, the splashing fire and the sound of the light sweeping over the objects around her, made her tremble.

When the surrounding voices were quiet, it took Jessica a while to realize that maybe it was all over. And the slender shadow that shrouded her was still not moving.

She turned her head to look at the creature that had protected her, and saw the creature's expression, but could see the blue liquid flowing from the veins in her body. The image that catches Jessica's eyes has a strange beauty that makes it impossible for her to take her eyes off. Not only that, but the body that was close at hand, those pulsating blood vessels, carried a magical power that was so thick that it could suffocate people's breath, which was one of the reasons why she froze.

After confirming that the worm man's aura was completely gone, Gendina left from above Jessica and crawled to the side, and the staff landed beside Jessica. She only crawled for a moment before she fell to the ground, her wings smashed to her side.
