Section 319 Desire
"Leah......" Chen Yan's lips squirmed, and he was about to walk over. But just as his body moved slightly, a huge shadow stopped him.
It was a huge, burly, sturdy, sturdy figure. He had always been at the foot of Leah's bed, like a hill. Chen Yan ignored him because of Leah. At this moment, Chen Yan immediately felt a suffocating pressure rushing towards him, as if a mountain peak was roaring.
Of course, the mountain can't roar, but this man can.
Chen Yan suddenly stopped and looked at the figure. The troll he'd ever seen.
Troll Lord, Miso.
As the first demon to follow Leah, this troll lord obviously evolved much faster than the average demon. At this moment, he has reached the peak of the quality demon. The breath was only a little bit before it entered the level of a strong demon. Moreover, with Chen Yan's cognition, it was obvious that the power of the realm was restricting him, and it was not impossible to break through this layer of realm barrier.
How can a troll evolve to such a point? If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Yan would never have believed it. But that's the reality. Even he had to admit that this troll had the power to influence him.
But it wasn't that reason that stopped him, it was the person on the bed...... Leah......
I opened my eyes.
"I ...... How long have you been asleep......" Leah's soft voice rang out, as before. But Chen Yan could clearly feel the lack of life and spiritual power represented behind this voice.
Leah's life has been weakened to the point of being like a lamp.
"It's only been an hour." , Miso replied respectfully. The mountain-like body knelt beside the bed, but his eyes were full of love and adoration. In fact, Leah had slept well for the day, but she said so in order not to worry the girl. He knew that at this moment, the girl couldn't tell the passage of time, but only satisfied the comfort in his heart.
It's not going to last long...... Miso felt sad in her heart, but she barely managed to smile.
"Would you like something to eat? The maid was ready, with fresh bread, and hot broth. ”
"No...... No......" Leah struggled to sit up, but was unable to finish it, and let Miso help her up. His face was a little pale. "I could feel that my life was coming to an end...... Don't bother everyone. ”
"What are you talking about, I don't know how good you are now." Miso hurriedly comforted, just because of his stupid mouth, but it didn't have much effect.
Leah gave him a grateful look and shook her head slightly. "Actually, you don't have to. I know my body. Moreover, you have evolved, and this realm should not continue to bind you. It's time for you to pursue your future, Miso. ”
"Being by your side is my greatest pursuit." The Troll Lord said without hesitation.
Yes, once a weak troll, he once thought that the pursuit of strength and continuous evolution was his future, but now Miso doesn't think so anymore. Following Leah so far, he has seen Leah build such a powerful and rich country from scratch, allowing countless weak lives to inhabit and survive. In this cold earth, in the dark world, Leah is the only light. Her weakness is so different from the brilliance she has built, but it makes her even greater.
Miso didn't know what to say about this girl, his master, but he couldn't do anything but use his humble heart and relatively strong body to cut through the obstacles on the girl's way. Every bit of scar on his body was sweet, the only thing he could relax.
Being by Leah's side is his happiness. It would be nice if she could die by Leah's side.
Miso thought silently, and that dull smile appeared on his ugly face again, looking so hideous. He draped Leah over a garment with his rough fingers, and then prepared to call the maid.
Even though Leah doesn't want to eat something, Miso doesn't make the girl hungry. She had sacrificed enough for the world to accept pain any longer.
But at this time, something strange happened to the girl, and Miso stopped.
"I ...... I want to take a break. Leah said suddenly, holding her forehead. A faint flush appeared on his cheeks.
"Still want to rest?" Miso was a little surprised, the girl had just slept for a day and couldn't sleep anymore. Although sleep is good for the girl's body, such abnormal sleep can only indicate that the girl's body is deteriorating and will consume her energy.
She should eat something and then move around.
"Yes, I want to take a break, and I don't want anyone around." Leah continued, looking up at her loyal subordinates. "Miso, I know you're worried about me, but I'd rather have someone to guard this sanctuary. Let everyone feel at ease, no longer afraid of the dark and cold. ”
"This refuge has become the most desirable country on the mainland, Your Highness, the seedlings you care for have grown into big trees." Miso smiled, but still stood up. "Although I don't want to leave your side, if this is your hope, then I'll go and patrol the territory immediately."
"Go ahead, don't let the demons of the wild peep into my home." Leah said, and watched as Miso left the cave.
Without the Troll Lord, silence returned to the cavern, as silent as a dead realm.
The girl reached out and tugged at the blouse she was draping over her body, then leaned against the head of the bed. She had a book in her hand, but she didn't pick it up and read it, but stared blankly, blankly at the darkness, looking in the direction where Chen Yan was.
It was a long time before she sighed.
"Why, every time I think you're going to come in that direction, and every time I'm disappointed?"
Chen Yan in the dark was startled, thinking that Leah had discovered herself, but she found that she was just talking to herself, and when she heard the girl's stupid words, she couldn't help but be a little moved.
Leah, still the little girl who is weak and needs his care. Even if her current achievements are greater than many kings and nobles on the mainland, deep down in her heart, she still looks forward to it, longing for the day when she can see that figure in the dark. See...... Myself.
Before he knew it, Chen Yan had already walked out and came to the girl's bedside. Under the light, the girl's face looked even paler and more crystal clear, as if her blood vessels and her bones could be seen through the skin.
Leah, she's so weak.
Chen Yan stretched out his hand, gently stroked the girl's somewhat dry long hair, felt the girl's slightly cold 'body temperature', and sighed. His state at the moment could not be seen by the girl, because he could not afford to be disappointed. But he can do something to give the girl and himself a little more time.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his finger and sank it into the girl's forehead.
