87. Springboard, remuneration
Through the reflection of the dome, I saw it almost completely from beginning to end, until the emblem of the Valkyrie Legion appeared in the sky, and Brunhilde promised Loki to return to Asgard......
"I thought I could have one more of my kind......
Seeing this, Ash shook his head in frustration. Although the wandering spirits who have recovered their original bodies through the common soul are also considered to be the same clan of ashes, but in essence, they are just living corpses without thinking. Brunhilde, on the other hand, is the one chosen by the Dark Ring, a fellow human with a full humanity who can talk to herself, communicate with her, and feel the same way as herself.
It was for this reason that Ash did not hesitate to give it to Brunhild when he saw that he seemed to care deeply about Gungnier. And now......
There is some frustration, but in fact, this betrayal ash has not known how many times it has endured. There is no other reason, because death will flow out of human nature, so every immortal who spreads fire is desperately praying not to die. It is precisely for this reason that when facing danger and feeling that death is imminent, they often choose to turn their backs on their comrades and choose to leave...... Not all fighters are noble.
Although it is not the first time, every time he is betrayed, Ash will feel very depressed...... This time was no exception. He was somewhat unable to understand why Brunhild had betrayed. It's like not being able to understand why the group of companions who didn't walk together for long on the road of spreading fire chose to betray. Why can't they be like the warriors of the Farland Immortals, who have a heart-to-heart with each other and drink wolf blood together...... This is obviously a better thing.
Looking at the scene in front of her, the fire prevention girl's face was not the slightest impatient, on the contrary, it was full of indifference.
Seeing the frustration that Ash could easily feel through the face armor, a faint smile rose on the face of the firefighter on the side. I don't know why, in the smile on the face of the fireproof woman, I can clearly feel emotions like relief or satisfaction...... She did not seem to feel the slightest sadness at Brunhilde's betrayal, on the contrary, there seemed to be a little joy mixed with it.
"No need to grieve, Lord Ash." Standing on the stone steps behind Ash, the Firefighter put her arm on Ash's shoulder with some affection. The delicate side face was also clinging to the slightly dull and cold armor of the ashes. Some of the rough masks give people some slight pain. But the firefighter doesn't seem to care about all this, it may be because she is an immortal so she doesn't feel anything, or it may be because she has some strange emotions...... There was a strange look on her face.
"I'm enough for you to have one by your side."
As the fireproof girl was speaking, before she finished speaking, the door of the sacrificial ground on the side sounded the sound of footsteps, feeling the figure in a dark green dress slowly approaching. The fire prevention woman's movements were also slightly paused. Then the soft voice became a little muted.
"Of course, it could also be a half-......"
Hearing this, Ash scratched his head in confusion. Hearing the words of the fireproof girl, a sarcastic sneer rose on Hela's face as she walked in. Look at the place where Brünnhilde is located, positioned through the Ring of Darkness, and then reflected through the dome of the Fireless Sacrifice Ground. Hela said with a little disdain in her voice, "You guy, that's what you planned from the beginning, right?" ”
"How could it be~"
Hearing Hela's words, the firefighter shook her head slightly, and then said with a light smile, "I just didn't believe her from the beginning. ”
Hearing this, he frowned in surprise. Hela guessed that the Firewoman would deny it—or admit it. But she didn't expect the fire girl to answer her like this.
didn't care about the expression on her face, and the fire girl still had a peaceful smile on her face:
"It's not just her, it's even you, and all the people in this world. Why should I trust them, or you? Is it because Brunhilde was chosen by the Dark Ring? Even though she was instilled with the memories of the Fire Age, she still had the past of this world in her mind...... She has been different from us since she was born. She is a person of this era, no matter how she transforms, her thinking will not change, and her memories will not disappear either......"
"Even in the age of fire, there is betrayal, lust, or greed. Her choice is just her own fault, and no one else is to blame. And I am not saddened by her betrayal, because for for me, just having Lord Ash is enough. ”
As she spoke, the Firewoman also looked up at Brunhilde's face reflected in the dome of the Fireless Sacrifice Ground.
"Just like the abomination of the past, it is either a noble devotion, or an abominable saint, or a noble whole, or an inseparable family affection...... She is not the first to be the source of all suffering. …… So, he used her as a final springboard to find Asgard. ”
Hearing this, he nodded silently. Hela didn't say anything. Looking at Brünnhilde, who was a little confused and hesitant in the dome's eyes, Hela did not have the slightest pity...... Or rather, the betrayer doesn't need mercy either. Throughout history, no matter how difficult and compelled the betrayer was, it was ugly. Renunciation of darkness and treachery itself have the same meaning, at most it is a difference in the writer......
The corners of her mouth rose a touch of curvature, Hela smiled coldly, looked at the fireproof girl with a little mockery and said, "You are really the fireproof girl I know." ”
But the Firefighter didn't seem to care about Hela's sarcasm, but responded calmly while gently rubbing the ashes' visor like a cat: "I don't care what you think, disdain, ridicule, praise, or worship...... I am a vassal of Lord Ash, and the time, space, laws, interests, good, evil, love, hate, or whatever other things that outsiders attach to me are only small concepts. ”
"As long as Lord Ash is still there, and without this, my world will be able to function as well......"
As she spoke, the fireproof woman glanced at Brunhilde, who was full of confusion, and said nonchalantly:
"The right is to let her take a look at her hometown...... Anyway, that world is going to be destroyed sooner or later. ”
