Chapter 804: Mistake (5)
The former undead was no one of those pathetic creatures who could be easily frightened, and he almost never showed weakness in front of otherworldly spirits, except when they were in the Spirits, which were caused by the Lich's bloodline and the vicious aura of the Abyssal Savages, who had fallen uncontrollably into the nightmares of his past...... But only once. However, even that time, he didn't have such anger and eagerness, if the soul of the other world was still that naΓ―ve fool, its reaction might have been a little more sluggish, but after so many years, especially after fifty years in the abyss, it can be said that it has made the most correct and rapid response- The power of the mind burst out suddenly, and the distance between the two of them instantly stretched to the maximum, and the silver-blue mist had already overflowed from Afra's mouth, and the light illuminated her face, which was an indescribable expression, as if all human emotions had been concentrated here.
Afra let out a long sigh in her heart, how could she not love him, even at this moment, when such a thing happened, the person she loved would only throw himself up, not Afra, although he should have known that Afra would not be injured by ordinary throws - she had tried to understand his thoughts, but it was too difficult.
The Lich stood in the sea of consciousness, the soul fire in his eyes flickering unsteadily, and after losing the skin, muscles, and eyes that could express his expression, the undead's mood swings could only be detected from these places - he had discovered that someone else, or god, was influencing Afra to do something he didn't expect - she almost succeeded, and the Lich couldn't help but shudder through it...... From the very beginning, Afra was his creation, he knew very well that the children of Mei Mi and Gülen must have inherited their cunning and cunning, and she was surrounded by the priest of the red dragon Gredi, and false emotions could not make her surrender, but fortunately there was more than one soul in his body, a soul from another plane, born xìng gentle, benevolent, and had a natural love and respect for women and children, is there a better disguise than this? Things did turn out as he had hoped, and the soul of the other dimension may have had the only solace that Afra had in the darkness, and all the good emotions were abandoned in infancy, and the tormented and humiliated child of childhood and adolescence was invested in the black-haired Dragonborn, and when the former took her away from the collapsed temple, this complex emotion boiled again, and then it was precipitated and brewed.
It would be false to say that the lich really didn't know anything about Afra's recent restlessness, but he didn't directly remind his cohabitants, he mistakenly believed that even if Afra gained Flo's godhead and powers, she could still be suppressed and controlled, which is why he didn't mind that another soul treated Afra like a daughter, which made Afra fall in love with him with a hint of fear from the depths of his soul, which was not the fear of violence, although it was also born of weaknessβ She didn't dare to treat her guardian the same way she did the unruly Riffa residents, she knew that the Dark-Haired Dragonborn didn't have as much affection for her as she did for the Dark-Haired Dragonborn, and that he would turn away at any moment, but she couldn't.
The lich didn't want the other soul to know more, and if he did, there must have been a fierce quarrel waiting for him, but now that he thought about it, it would have been better to have one.

She may have taken the wrong step, but if Afra learned the most from the priests of Greday, it was probably insensitivity to fear and painβand perhaps sharpness and viciousness. Moreover, the wind brought by Cremar was so gentle, gentle that it did not hurt her in any way, she raised her hand, and smiled sweetly, and the room that was empty and tall enough to hold a dragon was suddenly filled with a rich and warm spring breeze, green foliage, and low-hanging flowers and fruits, this was her domain, not yet fully ripe, but she was able to "hold" the steps of the black-haired dragonborn, she held out her hand to him, "Come," she called softly, "Come to me." β
The otherworldly soul trembled visibly, but his eyes quickly became firm, "Afra," he said in a stern tone, "If you go back to your room now, I can forget about today." β
Afra found herself curled up in the Guardian's deep voice, but her will was unusually strong: "I love you. She said, "Do you know what kind of future we will have in my plans?" and she did not wait for Cremar to reply: "I will wait for you to fulfill all your wishes, I will be your wife and your shield and sword, I have great power, I can make you king and emperor, and you will be my chosen man and husband, until you are tired and want to rest." I will come with flowers and morning light and personally welcome you into the kingdom of my God, where you will share my authority and become a god, and our love and life will last as long as the river Styx. β
"And what made you change your mind?" the lich asked in a whisper in the sea of knowledge.
Afra may not have been able to hear him, but she replied, "But I find that my dearest one, I may be able to wait," Afra said in disgust, "but I will never allow anyone to steal my treasure...... She may have been trying, but the attempt was enough to make me sick - I can't imagine if your wife, not me, but that naΓ―ve and stupid Lucy......"
"I won't choose her," the otherworldly soul said helplessly, "Of course, you ...... No, Afra," it thought for a moment, "maybe I won't choose any female xΓ¬ng in my lifetime." β
Afra blinked, "So man?"
"Neither do eunuchs. The otherworldly soul said that it knew that Afra was just joking, but he didn't want to laugh at all: "I can swear by it." "In its original plane, the oath was only a superficial decoration and frivolous lie, but here, especially to the gods, the meaning is much more profound.
"But I want you to be my vote now," Afra insisted, "and you're going to be stronger." β
"It's the elect," the soul of the other world, who had already been sued by the lich JΗng, pointed out in a cold tone, "or a puppet?"
Afra gave a sinister smile: "I know you don't love Lucieu, just like you don't love me, no, you may love me, but like a father looking at his own daughter, I used to think you could change, but no, you can't." She stared at the dark-haired Dragonborn, "Can you?" she repeated, "You can't, you divide me on the other side, and no matter how many steps I take you, you'll back out of the way, but Lucie, or the other women, they are possible, as long as they, or the situation, push them towards you, you will retreat, but you will hesitate - can you guess what kind of prayer my priest sent me?" They prayed that you would be betrothed to Lucie and have children, yes, tens of millions of mortals would give them their meager income, dried pea blossoms, ears of wheat, and earnestly hope that you would accept a wife who would allow the land of the winter to grow wheat, and how would you refuse? β
She said in a cold tone: "You are already giving in, and then, the life of the jΔ«ng spirit is so long, one day, you will give in, I understand you, you are a gentle person, so you will never be cruel to a person who has given everything to you...... Except for me. β
"Afra......
"She gives you everything, her body, her life, her realm and her people," said Afra sadly, "but I am willing, Your Highness, I am willing, but you don't want to." She looked up at Cremar: "You always say, go find your own path, or rather, seek your own hope, but my path and hope are in you, you can't be so unfair and disqualify me from competing from the beginning." β
"I'm not going to accept Lucie. β
"If Flo's priesthood were not love, how good would it be to marry and have children," Afra didn't seem to hear his answer, but continued to mumble to herself: "Even though you say this, I can still see that in the near future, you will walk hand in hand, your children will be the new king of Lynn Island, and even if you die, you will return to the knees of Angelis, not my kingdom - please don't blame me, I have seen my end......" She took a step forward, her eyes as bright as the stars in the middle of the night: "You will not be a puppet, although you may need to rest for a while, decades, or centuries, but in my kingdom of God, no one will hurt and disturb you, wait for you to wake up......"
"I'll forget everything," the otherworldly spirit interrupted her, "Do you think that's still me?"
"Of course," Afra smiled slyly, "didn't you forget everything when you first started?"
The souls of the other world have never been so sad, they must admit that what Afra said is not impossible, after all, for them, love is not such an important thing, on the contrary, duty and power are, the bad thing, Afra also knows, and she has mentioned before, maybe because of the relationship between Fro's faith and cohesion, she may really be able to see something that only she can see...... The Lich was not a god after all, and he was not sure how far the gods could ultimately go.
They can resist, and Afra has already mastered some of the power that belongs to Flo, but she is still very young after all - for a quasi-god, but the souls of the other world are not willing to harm Afra, and the lich does not want their attempts to die when they are about to come to fruition, but if they want to get rid of Afra, they must destroy this incomplete realm, and then, both Afra and them, will suffer indescribable serious injuries.
But when the gears of fate are already gnashing one tooth at a time, and turning rapidly, any stagnation and regression may bring immeasurable bad consequences......

"I'm sorry," a voice snapped into the middle of them, breaking the tension and startling Afra and Cremar neatly.
Afra saw a handsome and young stranger, a male xìng, who had a subtle resemblance to her beloved in terms of face and expression, his dress was as brilliant as a fiery rì, and his fingers and chest were jeweled, but he did not at all seem to be the ridiculous vanity that she usually saw in kings and archdukes, his eyes seemed to reflect the moonlight and the stars at the same time, and as deep as the eyes of the sea, and when he walked into Afra's realm, it was as simple as entering his courtyard.
Afra clenched her fists, "Who are you?" she asked cautiously, looking for traces of the other party - by traces, because the other party could be seen and heard by her, but she could not catch and attack.
"A shadow of the past. The young man said that wherever he passed, all the branches and animals hung their heads, and the leaves and flowers put up their branches and petals, and even the birds stopped singing. As long as Afra saw this scene, he knew that the strength of the other party was far superior to his own, and even in his own domain, he could still use his power as he pleased.
"What do you want to do?" Afra asked, "If you need anything, as long as I can do it, I swear I'm not a stingy person." β
The man laughed, "I don't need much," he said, "just I don't want to see my descendants being coerced by an arrogant little girl." β
"You don't know what's going on?" Afra whisperedβhow did he know......
"There is more than one way to solve things," said the young man, his expression becoming serious, and when he showed it, the air in the realm seemed to become cold and heavy, "I know why you came to hurt my descendant in the first place, because you know that he will not hurt you, and you are using his kindness towards you as your shield and sword." β
"I don't have ......"
"You should calm down," the stranger continued, "look into your heart, I won't punish you this time, after all, I've seen too many young gods before." β
Afra was about to say something, but the man had already placed his arm on Cremar's shoulder, and then both of them began to see through - Afra let out a loud cry and rushed forward, but the young man only gave a majestic glance, her feet as if they were fixed to the ground, unable to move.
In the final moment, Afra saw no longer a human, but a massive dragon that shimmered with endless light.
