154 Trial 2: Trust your instincts, even if the target is a woman? (34)

Alex sent her to the staircase, where someone had long been hiding.

He nodded, gave her another deep look, and then turned to leave.

She was a little flustered by that look, and hurriedly grabbed him, "Ah Li, aren't you going back with me?" ”

He could feel the trepidation in her voice, and the trembling in her hands, and he knew that she might have vaguely understood in her heart.

The storm was followed by a misty drizzle, and the girl's face, which had been full of vitality, had become much paler and thinner after these days, and she struggled to keep her eyes open, as if trying to see an answer in his eyes.

When he came to the side of the Alliance, the young man's body had already turned into a solemnity, his face was tense, his back was straight, and his thin but powerful shoulders seemed to carry a lot, and there was never a moment of relaxation.

The fingers he was sticking to his side moved slightly, and the rain hit the girl's slightly raised face, and soon turned into droplets and rolled down.

Alex eventually reached out and held her face with one hand and stroked her face with his thumb.

Then, it was quickly taken back.

"Annie, I'm going to save them—" he said in a hoarse voice.

"I'm here to save you, that's why I'm going to save them."

Over the past hundred years, countless revolutionary pioneers have died because of the lies of the Holy See, and countless innocent lives have been lost, no matter who it is, whether it is a swordsman who has no soul in the exhibition hall, or a magician who has died at the hands of the aliens, or any other person who has been oppressed.

They all have loved ones.

They all have people to care about.

But now, they're all dead here.

Quietly.

Probably except for the flowing stars and floating clouds, no one knew that they had been here.

An Ning knew what he meant.

It was precisely because she knew, so when she looked at the determined brilliance in his eyes, she suddenly realized that she probably knew him so little that she didn't know the young man in front of her at all-

With full of desperation and courage, he has a determination that ordinary people can't achieve.

At this moment, she suddenly felt as if he had become a stranger, not the Ali who had fought with her since childhood, but an admirable warrior.

Great and yet distant.

"You, will you come back?"

Alex looked at her with a surprise and a slightly sweet surprise, he didn't know she would understand him so well. The thought that I wanted to hide was swirling on the tip of my tongue and buried in my heart.

He thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Annie."

"I know you don't really like me—" He smiled, thinking of the girl who had become attached to him because of the oppressive environment of the academy, and her confession at that time. His eyes were full of smiles, sad but gentle, he was very selfish and didn't want to say it, but now.

He's going to die.

Alex blinked.

"I can't bear you, Anne."

"I'm really, really reluctant to give you up."

His clarifying eyes looked straight at her, with the soft voice of a young man, attached and regretful, and when she felt as if he was about to cry, he said briskly, as if he were mentioning a trivial matter.

"If- I can't come back."

"Annie, go find someone you really like."

He unconsciously squeezed her shoulders with both hands, and looked at her steadily, as if to engrave her last appearance in his heart.

Then, with his hands gone, he walked into the depths of the rain curtain without looking back.

Lonely and tragic.

……

Years of preparation, just tomorrow.

All the members of the Guild who have been installed are now mobilized, whether it is the mage who guards the seaside barrier or the swordsman who hides in the town.

"Donna, this is the female swordsman Alex rescued." A member of the Confederate led her to a hidden room near the stairs.

Donna just glanced at the girl who was a little embarrassed with her head down, the rain running down her hair, and her face was solemn, "What about the other swordsmen?" ”

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Oh no, Donna." The bearded man lifted the curtain, "The swordsmen are gone, it seems that someone has taken them away, and there is no resistance." ”

"Look at the footprints like a girl." As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at An Ning Ning, who was facing away from him.

"How can there be girls?" Donna couldn't help but frown. The magicians sent two days ago are dead, and the only one among the swordsmen who have not yet moved is this girl named Anne Wood, and the only magician who has been sent again after the name is Alex, who is disguised as a girl.

Why is there such an extra one?

She was thinking about it when she saw the curtain being lifted again, and Dwight looked very bad, and said in a deep voice, "The swordsmen have been dragged to the place where the aliens live." ”

The crowd that had not yet recovered from the news heard him continue.

"It's Lillian Wood."

Donna looked at him in surprise, and he nodded, "That's Lillian Wood." ”

Among the upper echelons of the League, Lillian Wood is no secret.

Fighting against the Holy See, they naturally have some connections with some magical families who were once unwilling to give in, and even some of their members were from the family a hundred years ago.

Therefore, it is natural to know the problems that have arisen in recent years in some families that have clearly maintained their glory and fought for revolution.

Internal strife, sibling strife, emotional discord, as if some magic had been touched for a while, caused the originally harmonious family to fall apart for a while.

And the name of this magic is Lillian Wood.

- Her charm is so charming that even as a little girl, she is enough to make everyone crazy about giving everything for her.

When they learned of this secret, they immediately thought of asking this girl to use her power to stop the people from suffering from the deception of the Holy See, to put an end to the Holy See's trade with the demons, or at least, to allow her to win the surrender of one more person for the Alliance.

It's a pity that this girl's personality is very different from what they imagined.

She holds everyone firmly in the palm of her hand, does not like to be in control, is overconfident in her charm, has a poor understanding of the situation, and is arbitrary and naïve.

Such character and character were a nuisance, and they decisively abandoned their original plan after Luca in turn betrayed their news for a year and assassinated Dwight.

And now, on the eve of this last battle, at this important moment.

Lillian Wood actually came out.

Donna pursed her lips tightly and glanced at Dwight, both of whom had involuntary worry in their eyes.

……

In the heart of the city, in a gorgeous house.

It was quiet because of the departure of the little magician two days ago, and there were only a slight trace of life in the neatly cleaned house, as if there was only one person living there.

In fact, it should have been.

The blonde girl used her magic to dry her clothes, tilted her head and grabbed her long, somewhat messy hair with her hands, and pulled up the robe that was a little uncomfortable because of her shortening figure.

After getting dressed, she gently pushed the door open.

The room was quiet, as it had been when the head of the academy had sent it.

As soon as she turned to close the door, the candles in the room were all lit, and she turned sharply to see a group of monks in white robes looking at her with a smile on their faces.

"It turns out that what the girl said is true." Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Fast Wear, No Tranquility Claw Book House" for the first time.
