In the windowless stone room, each stone brick is carved with dense lines, exuding a faint light, hanging on the wall The lamp is swaying slightly, and you can still see it clearly in this dim light, there is a bloody egg lying in the depths of the dry pool, motionless, without the slightest life, as if it is a dead egg, and it can be seen from the traces left on the edge of the pool that it was once filled with blood.

The hurried footsteps were approaching, and a child appeared at the corner of the stone staircase, dressed in the clothes of a magician's apprentice, not surprised to see this pool of blood.

"Oops, why did you do it again. ”

The ring on his finger shimmered with magical brilliance, and a stream of blood was like a trickle, continuously injected into it, and was quickly absorbed by the blood eggs.

Taking advantage of this time, the junior apprentice squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the bloody egg, and compared the size of his hand, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, it seemed to be a little bigger than yesterday.

"It's been more than a month, what the hell is this, Lord Nosa won't say, could it be the offspring of some kind of monster?"

"It must be a rare one to be worthy of such treatment by Lord Nosa. ”

An idea suddenly popped up and looked around the corner secretly, but the little girl didn't follow.

Taking off the ring in his hand, the blood flow disappeared, and he didn't know where to take out a staff taller than him, shrouded in a hazy blue light, and steadily lifted him up and floated over.

The closer I got, the more I felt a strange heaviness amplifying it.

What the hell could this be here?

Curiosity drove him on.

There seemed to be a whisper in my ears, and the ancient whispers seemed to be the most fascinating existence in the world, full of irresistible temptations.

The blood covered the eyeballs, and the consciousness gradually indulged in it, and the blood all over the body was like boiling hot water rolling wildly in the blood vessels, as if the skin was about to break open in the next moment, and the color of blood appeared under the epidermis of the body.

The body was unconsciously pulled towards the bloody egg.

It's not just cats that are killed by curiosity.

The streaks of blood on the eggs wriggled and came to life, trembling like a hungry man salivating for a feast.

A drop of blood mixed with cyan magic power continued to squeeze out from the pores of his body, as if pulled by a strong gravitational force, flying towards the blood egg, merging into it, just when he was about to fall into the blood pool, a large hand appeared in the shadows, holding the apprentice who was completely lost and tearing it out of the blood egg's sphere of influence.

The gray robe wrapped around the apprentice lay on the ground, unharmed, but his face was a little pale.

Nossa looked at the slightly swaying blood egg, and a different light flashed in her deep eyes.

Blood began to flow from the ring again, and unlike before, it was infused with a stream of golden blood with a rich magical power.

......................................................

Warm sunlight shines in through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright curtains flutter in the breeze, and in the richly decorated room, Lan Xi sits on the edge of the bed with a thick book, delicate and small short dress, with white skin like jade, staring at the contents of the page with wide eyes, slender white jade legs shaking unconsciously.

If you look closely at the title, you will find that this is actually a book that troubadours are best at writing, "The Brilliant Love of the Dragon and the Princess", with a look of relish, and the little guy seems to be seeing the wonderful part.

"At such a young age, how can you read such a book. ”

A slightly stern voice sounded.

"Lance!"

The book in his hand was thrown on the ground, and it was hugged into his arms accurately.

Rubbing Lancy's hair, her soft eyes resting on her, "Next time, you won't be allowed to read this kind of book." ”

"Hmm!"

"Lancy, are you hiding here again and reading those strange books behind my back. ”

The door was pushed open and eyes fell on Lance, and the smile on Nosa's face grew thicker, "You're awake." ”

"How long has it been, Lord Nosa?"

"Two months. ”

"Looks like I won't have to sleep for the next few days. ”

"Hahaha, that's true. ”

Looking at this imperial mentor, the two months seemed to have left a longer mark on him, grayer hair, and a few more thin wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Lord Nosa, let's complete our agreement now. ”

"Hmm. ”

The slight movement of the wind caressed Nosa's robe, and from his outstretched hands, two medals appeared, the almost identical Holy Cross veins reflecting even more dazzling light in the sunlight, reflected in Lance's shrinking pupils.

"In the Church of the Holy Cross, there is a legend that every once in a while a person who is blessed by the goddess of life will appear, possessing part of her gift, whose power can dispel death and restore life. ”

"As he grows, his power will become stronger and stronger, and even if he doesn't meditate deliberately, he will eventually become the top powerhouse among human beings. ”

"However, fate is fair, and a man with this terrible gift is destined not to live to be thirty years old. ”

"Luckily for me, there was such a person in my apprenticeship. ”

"He was an orphan, and I found him when I heard his cries on the battlefield, when he was still an infant baby. ”

"He is the most gifted person I have ever met, and he has quickly mastered all my knowledge, and at your age, his magic power has broken through to level three thousand, and he is known as the most genius existence in the empire. ”

"I didn't tell him when I found out about his talent, I wanted to hide it and tell him when the time came, but before I could do it, he already knew. ”

"At that time, he was a little older than you, he was a very strong man, and after knowing his fate, he was not shaken in the slightest. ”

"He suddenly said to me that it was a curse, out of the jealousy of fate, and that he wanted to break this curse and take control of his own destiny. ”

So he went away and disappeared. ”

"More than a decade later, with no news at all, I thought he was dead, but just three months ago, I suddenly received a letter from him. ”

Nosa's deep gaze fell on Lance, "He knows he still can't break the curse of fate, so he wants me to take care of his children after he's gone." ”

The words ceased, and the wind ceased.

The atmosphere fell into silence, there was no crying like a child, only a calm look in the eyes.

He has already said goodbye to Sri and there are no tears to be seen in those who have died.

Lance picked up the Holy Cross that belonged to Sri and rubbed the old veins on it, and many images seemed to flash in his bright red pupils, and finally froze on that solid figure.

"Now, I finally know who you are. ”
