CHAPTER XXXI

The night Harry was escorted away, it was about one o'clock in the morning, and the opera ended around eleven o'clock, which means that the opera took about four hours, and the news of the assassin's assassination of the prince also spread at that time, after all, how could no one notice such a big movement.

Before leaving, Kalia also returned to the lonely alley, entered the hotel, roughly explained the situation to Sally, who was about to starve to death, and left some money for them to go to the imperial capital alone, Sally, who was concerned about the overall situation, did not complain anything, after thanking Kalia, she left in a hurry, the only thing they could do was not to cause trouble for them, and hoped that Harry could survive the danger.

The more than a dozen fourth-generation mixed-breed horses prepared by the Duke of Myron are said to be the descendants of those sturdy horses and three-generation mixed-breed horses in the north of the empire, and they have inherited the characteristics of many horses in terms of advantages, plus the thin blood of the elf horse, only this very expensive horse can travel overnight.

Although the seriously injured Harry could not be healed by the Pope's magic, it was still possible to deal with the injuries simply, and the priest's sister used a white medical bandage to bandage the inhuman-looking Harry into a mummy covered in bandages, and the healing magic for the wounds had no effect on Harry's injuries at all.

At that time, the chaplain sister in the church trembled and slowly touched the pile of rotten flesh on Harry's surface with a light full of life, the wound did heal at first, but it was only a second, the recovered wound was like a building like tofu scum, the restored skin collapsed again, and the blood and flesh were intertwined again into black and disgusting rotten meat, there was no way but to use bandages to barely maintain Harry's almost inhuman body, and prevent wound infection.

Fortunately, the Pope is willing to help Harry's injuries, their people are already ready in the imperial capital, as long as Harry is sent to that place, he will definitely be safe, so they must rush to the place where the Pope said before the toxin completely breaks through the defense set up by the Pope in Harry's body, time is of the essence.

So, a carriage and a team of more than a dozen armored knights rushed forward in the deep night, whether they could save Harry or not, it depended on their speed, the Pope's defense line on Harry could last for two days, so they had to rush to the imperial capital within two days.

However, the distance from here to the imperial capital is separated by an area, and if you want to rush from Gerry to the imperial capital, you must pass through this area, regardless of other factors of natural and man-made disasters, it will take about a week to reach the imperial capital, how can it be possible in just two days.

If you don't sleep, go all out, and take the nearest road, how much time will it take? There was no doubt that they had succeeded in doing so, arriving almost in the third day and handing Harry over to them.

On horseback riding, as the leader of this squad, the slender armored knight, she, like these knights, worked almost all night, not only did she have to open the map on the shaking horseback, looking for the fastest shortcut to the imperial capital, but also carefully observe the surrounding situation in case the assassins sneaked attack, the word tired could not be seen from their eyes at all, the running horse seemed to be responding to the will of those on their backs, not wanting to disappoint them, and also ran as hard as she could, until she died of exhaustion.

On the way to the imperial capital, they are almost always on a straight road to the imperial capital, along the way they avoid those towns, the complex population of the town is not conducive to their full progress, only the sparsely populated wilderness can keep the road smooth and maintain this speed, they all understand that to reach the emperor must be faster, faster shortcuts than others can break a week's time.

Fortunately, Duke Myron is also a shrewd fellow, he had long expected that if they drove at such a speed, it would definitely attract the attention of his neighbor duke, and if they were stopped or pursued because of this kind of thing, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, so when Kalia and they left, he also used the crystal ball to contact the duke over there and explain the situation to him in advance, so that Kalia and they could move forward unimpeded.

Finally, under the desperate rush of the armored knights, they entered the imperial capital in the middle of the night, and the guards guarding the city gate were unintercepted, as if they had been preparing for a long time.

At this time, in the imperial capital, the tall clock tower, a landmark building that records time, the silver minute hand on the surface of the big clock is still three minutes away from pointing to twelve o'clock, in the imminent time, they still arrived desperately, in front of the holy Cadia Cathedral, the anxious Kalia rushed out of the carriage, handed Harry in his arms to the priest who had been waiting at the entrance of the cathedral for a long time.

…………………………………………… Dividing line .........................................................

"Hey, it's been so long, why do you still have a bitter face, I've told you, it's not your fault, it's the result of my willingness, you just have to pick yourself up again, what do you want to do so much." A helpless voice sounded.

The quiet night sky, the gentle wind, the calm and unwavering water, the exaggerated half moon on the horizon, the narrow but reassuring grass lies a lovely girl with an unusually pale complexion, the pink double ponytail lies on the soft grass, the golden dream pupils look at the stars in the night sky, the black ominous skirt is worn on her thin body, her hands and feet are fully open, from the night sky, the girl poses in a large shape to look at the starry sky.

And sitting next to her was also a lovely boy of the same age, with black silky hair, and a long-looking elegant ponytail on his shoulders, he sat on the grass with his knees crossed, his chin resting on his knees, and his black pupils were full of low looking at the moon in the distance, and his little face was sullen.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't fainted at noon today, this wouldn't have happened, and Kira wouldn't have been left alone to endure such pain, I'm such a big villain." Harry said to himself.

At that time, his mind was thinking frantically about the question of whether to kill or not, Harry did not make any choice, but chose to escape, in a way of collapse and coma, under strong psychological pressure, the reason why he fainted is also understandable, Harry has killed people, this is an indisputable fact, but the first person to kill is the person who killed his friend, and the big bad guy must not be forgiven, so even if he is burned alive, it is not wrong, Harry thought so at the time, no, whether it was Harry or Kira was blurred.

Harry smelled blood in that dungeon, it was the blood of those wolves, and Kira, who was originally hidden in Harry's soul, slowly woke up because of blood, and the process of awakening inevitably triggered another personality, Harry's personality slowly transformed into Kira's character under the stimulation of blood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Kira, but it appears in another form, and Harry's character will not do that extreme murderous behavior.

And during this period of coma, when he woke up, he found that his body was controlled by Kira, he put this difficult question behind him, didn't think about it, and silently watched Kira control his body in the spiritual world, and later over time, he found that Kira was really powerful, elegant manners, decent and polite conversation, and she was more like a prince than herself.

But in the end, when the assassin assassinated Kira, and after the successful sneak attack, he took away Harry's most cherished thing, the crystal pendant, his mother's relic, Harry was naturally very angry, he didn't want to lose this important thing, this thing full of memories is very, very important, how can it be snatched away by him like this.

So the anger was transmitted to Kira, she also understood the importance of this thing to Harry, she was like an adult who messed around with her child, knowing what the consequences of doing this would be, she still helped him take it back, regardless of the physical damage caused, for Harry's selfish wishes, paid an unimaginable price to help Harry.

Harry, who watched all this in the spirit world, the pain she suffered when she was at the cost of using this powerful ability, made Harry, who was controlled by selfish wishes, suddenly wake up, the kind of pain that a girl suffers for her own wishes, just by seeing that scene, Harry knows how intense that pain is, but she still keeps smiling like a person who is fine, as if telling Harry that she is okay.

At that time, Harry naively thought she was okay and put her mind at ease, but the trembling of her body betrayed her, when and where she had never been like this, she had always maintained a calm image of knowing astronomy and geography, and had never shouted pain, last time, not that time, except this time.

Usually enlightened him patiently like a teacher, at that time Harry felt that she was not just a demon, but rather like a teacher, when Harry encountered any problems, she would come out to answer for Harry, and when things didn't go well, she would also enlighten Harry, this time the murder question, he also longed for Kira to answer him.

Kira was more like a kind brave man this time, in order to fulfill Harry's humble wishes, he stood up without asking for anything in return, moved and blamed himself, Harry was in this mood at the time.

The battle in the dark space may be called an overwhelming move, and Harry remembers it vividly.

When Kira lost consciousness, Harry's side couldn't see the outside as well, which made Harry worry for her, but what could he do in this spirit world, he couldn't do anything but watch her suffer and pray that she was okay.

Just as Harry was anxiously walking on the grass, thinking about how to do it, a familiar word sounded as if Harry had taken a reassuring pill.

"What are you doing?" A voice of confusion came out of the mouth of the cute girl.

"Are you alright, Kira?! Is there anything wrong with your body?! And mentally..."Harry said anxiously as he looked at Kira, who appeared out of nowhere.

"What can I do, do you want me to be okay?" Kira sat on the grass and looked at him playfully.

"No... No, how could I possibly hope you were okay, I just saw that you looked miserable, and I couldn't help but worry. Harry hurriedly explained.

"I know, I know, just kidding, don't be so serious." Kira said boredly as she propped her chin on her hand.

"You can also see the situation, your body may have become very serious, in general it is very troublesome, plus that poison, you are not far from death." Kira said again, her eyes looking at the moon in the distance.

"Of course I know that these things are the result of my willfulness, and I'm really sorry to let Kira suffer like this!" Harry sat next to her, his head bowed, and said in a very apologetic tone.

"I always thought you little kid didn't know anything, so you know what you did wrong, okay, it seems that my injury this time is worth it, it's enough for you to understand what the price of impulsiveness is." The sound of falling on the grass rang out, and Kira lay down on the grass.

"Kira, where are you hurt?! If you feel bad, just let me know and I'll help you. Harry said excitedly when he heard that she was hurt.

"I'll explain this injury to you later, and besides, explain to you that you have a way to heal my injury?" Kira faintly returned, giving people the feeling of being lazy and about to fall asleep.

"This ......" Harry was speechless, not knowing how to answer, indeed what she said was the truth, even if she told herself about her injury, I'm afraid Harry still didn't understand, couldn't help at all, to put it bluntly, it was a lack of knowledge, nothing could help Harry, who could only comfort others, his mood was depressed as soon as he spoke, he hated this feeling of not being able to help anything.

The quiet atmosphere was created in this way, maybe he couldn't stand this quiet atmosphere, or he wanted to comfort Kira and spoke, temporarily breaking the silence.

"Okay, actually, you're not useless, that's, that's, your usefulness......" Kira was also speechless all of a sudden, I wanted to comfort him or something, but I couldn't find him useful, very embarrassed.

These words hurt Harry's weak heart even more, and his mood was even more depressed.

"Ahh Sick of it! Kira said this impatiently in a slightly louder tone, as if to tell the story of not bothering me if she didn't comfort anyone anyway.

The silence resurfaced, no one spoke, and the two men had their own thoughts.

…………………

…………………

"Alas, you guy is like this, obviously you have said that it is none of your business, and you have to stick it on your face, do you have to ask me to find a very reasonable reason to convince you, and you are willing to give up?" Kira slowly sat up from the grass and looked at the moon in front of her and said helplessly.

"It's not like that! I just regret my powerlessness, I can't forgive myself for not being able to bear this pain with you, and after all this time, I'm still a useless waste! I just wanted to help you! But I ...... But it's so useless, you can only bear it silently. Harry lifted his chin from his knee to look at her, his hands clenched in silence as he expressed his remorse for his powerlessness.

"Stupid." Kira scolded him softly, her eyes still looking at the moon in the distance.

"Becoming stronger can only be done slowly, no one can become stronger all at once, after the precipitation of time, there is still a certain amount of experience, as well as a wealth of knowledge and other elements, in order to become stronger, you know? Harry. Kira stood up and looked back at Harry as well, her golden eyes meeting their black eyes, and Kira smiled demonically.

"Hmm!" But Harry didn't notice her other intentions, like a little kid who was bought by a candy, and showed an innocent smile after getting candy.

It is not difficult to imagine the result of looking at Kira, the familiar sense of intimidation once again fills the whole body, and the feeling of discomfort and happiness is like this, although Harry is forced to lie on the ground by the intimidation and can't lift his head, but he is very happy in his heart.

A helpless sigh sounded, and the sense of intimidation in Harry's body disappeared again, and the heaviness of his body disappeared, replaced by a relaxed body.

"Kira, what should I do to become stronger in the future?" Although Harry was overwhelmed by the sudden sense of intimidation, he was not angry at all as usual, and looked up at Kira with a smile and said with great interest.

"Huh?" There was no one else on the empty grass, only Harry, who was kneeling on the grass and dazed, he called Kira's name, stood up, looked around strangely, there was still no one, what was going on? As time passed, Kira still didn't show up, and Harry's heart began to panic.

Harry suddenly remembered the smile that Kira had given him just now, Harry understood, and sighed helplessly, was he playing hide and seek? Kira is really, you're still joking with me at this time, there's no way, I'm going to play with you today, you're going to hide it, I'm going to start! The little boy on the grass makes a declaration of victory before the start and goes into a game to find Kira.

The game of finding Kira began, there was no need to look for the grass if there was no one on the ground, the sky, Harry tried, and when he flew to a certain height, he was blocked by an invisible wall, and he couldn't fly up, only the surface of the water remained, so Harry dived into the water to look around, but there was nothing under the surface of the water except for the endless darkness, and there was a feeling that he would be swallowed up, Harry looked timidly at the bottom of the dark water, cheering himself on, Kira may have guessed that she was afraid and didn't dare to come down, maybe she was really hiding underneath, Harry plucked up his courage and headed deeper into the water, the game was still going on, and a bad feeling began to rise in Harry's heart, and Harry shook his head, absolutely impossible, that kind of thing.
