Verse 262: Wishes
"Maya, do you hear me, that's the cheers of the audience." The girl standing next to the cat girl was a little excited, and she seemed to prefer to hear the cacophony of voices rather than pray in the restlessness as they did.
The Maya did not choose to pray, the shaman had no object of worship in the actual sense, and in this era, the vast majority of known spirits had fallen into the temptation and pollution of chaos, and the shaman began to rely on the whole of nature.
As a result, only the most talented shamans are able to grow, and the vast majority of shaman apprentices are unable to become a true shaman in their lifetime.
"Maya, what's wrong with you." The call of her companions made Maya finally turn her head from her thoughts: "What's the matter?" ”
"Aren't you excited, think about it, there are tens of thousands of spectators waiting for us outside, at least a quarter of the residents of the royal capital have come here, if there is any technique to put our battle outside, then there will definitely be more than a quarter of those who see us!"
"I don't think there's anything good about being watched by so many people." After Maya finished speaking, she moved her left wrist, and the World Tree twig 'Merlot' that her brother had lent to her wrapped around her wrist.
In today's battle, Maya will be staring at the human, and if he doesn't give up his so-called way of fighting, then she will definitely ...... He must be killed.
She wouldn't put her teammates in danger, let alone let their blood shed because of a ruthless murderer, and since he felt that everything in this world could die at his own hands to fulfill his fighting path, then Maya must kill him too.
"Everyone has to pay for their choices." Maya muttered.
Her friend didn't hear it, but she heard the sound of the hallway cover opening in front of her.
"Maya! Here we go! She patted Maya on the shoulder and found out that her friend had changed her outfit today.
It's extremely heavy to the touch, but it holds up the hem and has no weight at all.
Ah, Maya today, she looks so cute.
The happy smile on her friend's face, and then she was woken up by a tail, and she didn't realize that she was saying everything she was thinking.
"I'm leaving." Maya looked at her companion in front of her.
"Come on, come on, ah, don't wagging your tail in front of me, it will affect my concentration!"
Maya looked at her teammates with some unease and began to wonder if it was the right thing to do for her to pet her tail.
Humans are such a strange race, dementia only takes a moment, she thought.
………………
"Remember, Mersel, don't think about it today, think of our Excellency Bishop Mendelssohn, who paid for you to be a shepherd, which is already the grace of our lord." The captain patted the mage on the head at this point, "Got it." ”
The boy was silent.
"I ask you if you understand! Mercedes! For the sake of Lord Mendelssohn! Don't get in trouble! That Lord Marin will be here today! I don't want him to kill our mentor like a chicken because of you! ”
“…… I understand. The boy took a deep breath.
"Very well, Mercedes, remember, one mistake is the right effort to grow in life, and the same mistake is stupid." After speaking, the captain walked to the front and looked at the open cover: "Let's go!" ”
The teenager followed his teammates out of the corridor, and the first thing he saw was the huge arena, the stands were full of spectators, and now there were more spectators in person than the previous qualifying round, and the transfer between newspapers and verbal could no longer reach them.
Humans are really a strange race, obviously there is only one champion of the tournament, but what do you say about friendship first, crossbow arrows and bows have been removed heads, swords have been replaced with wooden, and even mages need to use light-kill spells to activate spells.
How can a person who is selected in this child's play-like competition be a real champion.
Although Mercedes was disgusted with such a game and instinctively did not want to obey the captain's orders, he thought of His Excellency Mendelssohn...... Messel remembered that he had been picked up by the old man from the outcasts.
At that time, his father was dead, and his mother had only one breath left, and the whole city was killed in the chaos, and Messel fled out of the city with the people, and then fled with the people to the central provinces, and the father said that there was his brother in the capital, but Messel did not know anyone at all, and did not know what his name was - His Excellency Mendelssohn asked him that there was no family named Henschel in the entire royal capital.
Eventually, Messel became a mage apprentice in the Church of the God of War.
Your Excellency has paid such a great price, and Messel feels that he should not let the sacrifice you have made for him be wasted no matter what.
Playing games with children is really the biggest stain in my life.
………………
"Will you also come to see the little monkeys perform?" Sitting in the private room on the top floor, the little Pansian Cat Man Goddess Ollie glanced at the same kind of person who pushed the door open.
The latter nodded: "I heard the information of that Marin, and the Great God Lord sent me over, saying that fate is guiding me from the Rasmussen family to the human world. The tall male Pansio cat man with a pair of flat glasses and long white hair glanced at the box, "Is Mr. Marin not there?" ”
"You are to call Your Excellency." As a god, Ollie didn't care about his identity.
"You want someone who is good enough to be his father to call an apprentice Your Excellency?" The male cat man said as he came to the window of the box, and he shook his head as he looked at the arena: "Are you crazy, or am I crazy?" ”
"Don't say anything about an apprentice to a kid who is already able to use the Five Rings Technique, and he is now step nine, fifteen-year-old step nine, it's not an exaggeration to say that his heart is like steel." After Ollie finished speaking, he twitched the fellow with his tail: "You blocked my view." ”
"No one played." Having said that, the man took a big step to the side, and at the same time looked at this one with curiosity: "Speaking of which, you didn't make a move on that Marin." ”
"I'm not some Rasmussen bastard." Ollie snorted as she looked at the two teams of children walking onto the field: "See that cat man, she's my apprentice." ”
As if he hadn't heard His Excellency's comments, the male cat man looked at the kitten who walked on the platform: "That's the apprentice of the human world you said, I am really curious, a cub living in the human world has the talent to become a shaman." ”
"yes, I don't believe it either, but it's what it is, she's Maya Gayat." Ollie said, glancing at Rasmussen in front of her.
The latter was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "You mean...... She ......"
"She is your youngest daughter, the child who was discarded by your family's own hands, and the child who was picked up by old Hoffman."
The man was silent, and finally turned around: "I still have some things, please send the kindness from the Great Woodland to Lord Marlin for me." ”
"I will." Ollie watched as the one in front of her finally walked out of the box, the psionic hand closing the door for her, and the priest laughed.
"Rasmussen bastard, you have today."
………………
Walking out of the box, the cat man walked to the end of the corridor, where the names of the contestants were being mentioned, he could understand the lingua franca and the Sidney, and when the halfling came to the kitten's side, raised her hand, and loudly introduced her name to everyone, the big cat pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket.
Originally...... It's really called Maya.
"What a cat man is so cute, and when she grows up, she must be the most beautiful beauty."
"Even now, she is a beauty."
The humans below were talking, he listened to their conversation, smoking a cigarette, and as the conversation slipped towards the abyss, he let go of his hand, and half of the cigarette fell, finally splashing a terrible scream.
Human beings are really a strange race, they can estrus all year round, and they can expose each other's fetishes anytime and anywhere, and they really live a very chic life.
Walking down the stairs to the exit passage, the big cat looked at the playing field again.
The race is about to begin.
Struggling between walking and not leaving, he finally pulled out a coin and tossed it upward, then caught it with his outstretched hand.
Don't go.
The man who didn't look at the front and back stood there, watching the children on the playing field stand separately, and also saw the rattan bow made of the twigs of the World Tree in his daughter's hand.
It's a twig of the World Tree, it's not wrong, he's seen it in the hands of the Great God Lord, this kind of branch with divinity, he can't admit it.
It is impossible for a daughter to have such a branch, who gave it to him?
…… Is it her brother? Marin?
Indeed, the information said that he had two World Tree branches, so it seems that Maya also has a kind heart, otherwise she would not have been able to hold the World Tree branches.
This kind of strange thing, if the camps are different and the ideas are different, forcibly stealing it will only bring about its own destruction.
In this case, Maya is on stage, Marin should also be watching him nearby, the big cat scans around, and can't find the appearance of the young man who has the intelligence to tell, but the big cat doesn't think that this brother is not there.
He's definitely there.
Because his daughter has the momentum of wanting to express herself.
After all, it was the child of the Rasmussen family, although he was abandoned, but who knew that he didn't want to abandon her at all.
It's just how a person can confront his own family, the unity of the Rasmussen family cannot be desecrated.
The big cat looked at his daughter on the field, a little sad, because he couldn't recognize her, he couldn't betray the family, not even for a second.
But he was also very relieved, because in the end, under the pleas of the great himself and the pleas of the gods, the family finally agreed to give their daughter to the human who had traveled to the Great Woodlands, instead of killing her.
Now, he sees that this child has grown up and embarked on the path of her own destiny, and in the future, she will also have her own family, and it would be best if she had a husband who loved her.
Thinking of this, the big cat turned around and prepared to leave.
Staying here and watching for a while has actually broken the original agreement, and he can't continue to be wrong.
And his daughter is doing well, the balance of victory has tilted in her favor, leave the victory to the younger children, the big cat thought so, and at the moment of turning, he noticed the light of the magic that his daughter was facing in the direction.
The bright flame...... The other party didn't stop!
In the next second, a huge flame hit the queue on the side of the daughter, and the big cat turned around and came to the guardrail, wanting to see what was going on inside the smoke cloud from the explosion.
The mentor seats on both sides were already tense, which made the big cat notice a small figure, he was just standing on the sidelines, holding a World Tree twig in one hand and a small fan in the other.
Why didn't you brother rush forward!
The big cat was furious at first, and then thought of something - why didn't he rush forward.
The twig of the World Tree in his daughter's hand is obviously his, that is, he should be the first to know if his sister will be okay, that is, otherwise...... He won't be indifferent.
With this understanding, the big cat saw the smoke dissipate from the field, saw the opening of the anti-magic force field, saw the daughter carrying the bow, saw her loose hand, and saw the elemental eroded eyelets on the opponent's chest.
Eventually, he collapsed.
My daughter...... The big cat slapped her hands on the guardrail and looked at her full head of gray hair, which was the most conspicuous feature of the Rasmussen family.
My daughter is not a waste.
His heart was in ecstasy.
He watched the game be aborted, his daughter and her companions kicked off, and the guy who had been pierced through the chest by an elemental arrow being lifted down - he was still alive, and his own daughter still couldn't kill in the end.
This made him a little regretful, but more than that, it was joy.
My daughter, undistorted by her life, was full of kindness and peace, and thanked His Excellency Hoffmann, to all those who spoke up for him and his daughter that day, and even more to Mr. Gaiat, and to Marin...... My daughter lives happily ever after, and fate has left her father and mother, only to make amends for her in the end.
Then, the big cat's facial muscles were shaking as he saw the child reach out and hug his daughter.
That's my daughter! You bastard! Take your hands off behind her!
But soon, he saw the uneasiness on his daughter's face, his comfort to her, and the smile on her face.
My daughter...... It was her most beautiful moment.
Eventually, the unqualified father got up and turned into the exit.
My daughter, after all, has her own way, and being able to see her smile is the best compliment that fate has given her.
Thank fate for allowing me to see this moment.
The family gave up on you, but your father didn't give up on you, so ...... Live well, my daughter.
This is the first time I've called you that, and it will be the last.
May Miss Maya Gayat be blessed, may she have a happy marriage, may she have a full house of children and grandchildren, may she ...... Enjoy the years.
May the Lord have mercy.
