Yu Dongshui opened his eyes.

The scene in front of you is surrounded by an illusory halo of light, looming, as if you are in heaven.

His body also seemed to have lost its sense of touch, and the whole person stood lightly in the confused light.

Confused, helpless, weak.

Am I already dead? Is this the scene of Heaven?

There was no sound around, not even the sound of his own heartbeat, and everything was eerily quiet.

He looked around, and there was nothing but the golden glow of his charming eyes.

yes, I remember. I was knocked unconscious in my room.

So where is this place, where does it end up belonging?

He took a step, wandering in this illusory realm, at a loss.

Is it over? How could it be like this, how could it be so easily over.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in a halo of light in the distance, looming, as if far away from the sky, and as if within reach.

It was just a vague outline, but Yu Dongshui recognized her at the first time.

"Xuan'er! Is that you? Xuan'er!"

After recognizing her figure, he went berserk.

Yu Dongshui lost his usual caution and ran towards her figure in this strange space.

Crossing through this distracting light, he reached out to her with all his might, trying to grasp the figure.

But no matter the hoarse shouts or the desperate chase, they were never able to close the distance.

Even though he recognized this fact, although his heart had begun to despair, he did not stop his steps and did not withdraw his outstretched hand.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, even the slightest glimmer of hope!

He would never leave her again.

This is Yu Dongshui's loyalty to this unburned feeling, and the compensation for her inability to protect her at the beginning.

Even if there is an unknown world ahead, even destruction will not be spared.

In the days after her death, I don't know how many nights she was found.

As long as there is time, as long as there is still a chance to hold her hand.

He's going to keep running like this, even if it's pointless, even if it's pointless!

The body forgets about tiredness, and the sound is absorbed by the surroundings.

"Don't leave me!

At this time, he shed tears of self-reproach and shouted at the other end of the halo.

Liu Xuan seemed to notice the cry from the bottom of her heart from a certain man, and the figure that was originally facing away from Yu Dongshui slowly turned around.

It's her, it must be her!

Now that she has passed away, she can no longer laugh in his ears as before, even if she is the reincarnation of a great magician who is feared by the world, she is powerless to change this fact.

If this is a dream, if this is heaven, Yu Dongshui will never give up the opportunity to live with her.

"Dongshui ······"

The familiar voice came ethereally, and it hit Yu Dongshui's heart in an instant.

Like a stimulant, it makes Yu Dongshui's running faster.

"Xuan'er, I will definitely save you! I will definitely bring you back and see the day when the Great Magician is respected by the people······!

Yu Dongshui's words were interrupted by sobbing: "So at least hold my hand here! I can't lose you anymore!" Xuan'er!"

The figure on the other end was still out of reach.

I saw her shake her head slightly, and said in a regretful and resolute tone: "No! Dongshui, please don't be nostalgic for me anymore······· I don't want to be a burden to you. ”

"Xuan'er, you are the only support I still have in this sinister world, and I don't allow you to deprive you of even this last warmth!"

Yu Dongshui hysterically refused: "Even if this longing becomes a curse, even if there is no return and it is just in vain, I will never forget you, and I will never forget you who passed away because of me!"

"Isn't you the only one in my eyes?"

Liu Xuan's original fragile determination evolved into crying: "Even if I lose everything, there are still fragments of memories about you in my heart." I will give everything for you, whether it is the future or my life. ”

"Although it is only an embarrassing dependence, it is almost an ignorant offering. I pray that you will be redeemed and that your wounded heart will be restored. So, please forgive and accept my last willfulness! Forget me, and don't slow you down because of me!"

Yu Dongshui was shocked by these words, and muttered for a while and couldn't speak again.

Because the last words that were said hit directly on his hidden thoughts.

The reason why he has insisted on waiting for the port to open in Rockshire has been repeatedly unexpected.

He didn't choose to leave, he stayed here until he was attacked.

Normally, he wouldn't have chosen to stay in this dangerous place for a month, but he did it anyway.

The reason for this has never been asked into the depths of his heart, or he is afraid to ask.

Now Liu Xuan's words opened the heart box that he had been trying to seal.

He wanted to stay here, still attached to where his fiancée was.

Even though he knew that this would lead to a change in things and that he might be in crisis, he didn't choose to leave.

The feelings that had been suppressed by him were expressed here, and they drowned him like a flood in front of the people he had always loved.

Liu Xuan's tone returned to calm, and she spoke with her unique childish comfort:

"Dongshui, I know that your path may be bleak ahead, and no matter what kind of light it is, it will be shattered. ”

"But you know what······"

Then it was no longer her voice alone, but it seemed to resonate from the depths of her soul, and she completed this sentence with her-

"It's only when it's dark enough that you can see the stars in the sky!"

The surrounding halo shattered, fell, and disappeared like a jigsaw puzzle in an instant.

In its place is endless darkness.

At this time, Yu Dongshui floated in this space without any objects, and gradually fell into a panic.

The light vanished, and the figure he longed for disappeared from his eyes, though it was already vague and out of reach.

Until—

There were flashes of light in the field of vision.

One, two, three······

Countless stars glowing softly appeared in his field of vision, soothing his anxious mood.

Even with this faint light, he finally saw the face that he couldn't see clearly under the enchanting halo.

Liu Xuan, who was standing opposite him, smiled: "Dongshui, instead of waiting for hope and living in fear, why don't you do your best to open up a starry sky of your own now?"

"Belongs... My own starry sky?"

Yu Dongshui stretched out his hand again, but this time the target was the stars in the distance.

With a slight grip, he opened it again, only to see a pearl-sized point of light appear in his palm.

——

"I see. ”

Yu Dong watched calmly as Liu Xuan slowly floated towards the vast sea of stars: "Thank you, Xuan'er." ”

His consciousness gradually returned, and he slowly felt the presence of his body.

"But······ I'm sorry. ”

Turvi, the capital of the Karokaimen Empire.

After receiving the news of the Pope's imminent arrival, Emperor Karo XV of Karokemen led his courtiers to wait early in front of the inner city of Turvi.

This is already part of the middle of the continent, and it is the foothold of the leader of the Rhyth Alliance, the country of Karokaimen.

Karokaimen, which means land of commanders, was founded by the great men of the former Immortal Emperor, who are now revered as Karo I.

He started with the idea of purging the incompetent descendants of the Immortal Emperor and ensuring the legacy of the Immortal Emperor, and later, with the support of the Holy Emperor's Church, he founded the Rees Alliance, which means "torn".

It is worth mentioning that the kingdom of Paranrin, which backs up the land second only to the Beglie Empire, is a branch of Karokemen, founded by the prince who betrayed the state and returned to the state during the reign of Karoe III.

It was then that Karokemen became completely autocratic, unlike the Begret Empire, which issued some military power.

In short, there are as many as four alliances that are second only to the Begret Empire, especially the extremely ambitious Karokaimen Empire, which makes the Begret Empire, the overlord of one side, afraid of three points.

As for the events that Karu XV had heard about the imperial capital of Iaurne a few days ago, it was now also spread in the political circles of the empire.

Unlike Beglie, which had opposing factions such as the pro-monarchy, sectarian, and aristocratic factions, Karochemen had only radicals and conservatives.

This limits factional fighting to a certain extent, and the people of these two factions are not fixed in the first place, and do not lead to large-scale conflicts or purge activities.

Again, this is due to the autocracy of the emperor in Karokemen.

At this time, the minister of court, who was standing beside the emperor, whispered to him: "Your Majesty, there is a complete imbalance between the imperial power and the clerical power within the Begret Empire. Is it inappropriate to take in the Pope at this time?"

"Are you worried about the declaration of war by the Begret Empire?"

Karu XV snorted: "Intelligence shows that the current situation in Yiaur is completely chaotic, and the power of the Inner Emperor Capital Sect is increasing instead of declining. If they want to declare war on us, they will be put in a situation where they will be attacked on their backs. ”

The Minister of Imperial Affairs nodded yes.

The reason for this anomaly is not only investigated by Begret, but also by them.

It turned out that it was the Pope who made many speeches on the way to the retreat to Karochemen, with a bloody appearance, to provoke contradictions between the people and the royal family of Bergeret.

But the official response of the Goo Beglie Empire, the Pope was not injured at all in that conflict, and repeatedly accused the Pope of such behavior.

In short, the situation of the overlords of the East is very bad now, and their emperor is also anxious to deal with various affairs every day.

"However, I heard that the Pope had used the [Constant Dark King] in this conflict, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"That's right, Wechen has also heard a little. ”

Karo XV's expression became ugly: "If it's true, then they should also take that relic with them at this time, right?"

The minister could tell that there was no desire to seize in the emperor's tone, but rather full of worry.

Could it be that this majestic emperor was also worried that his Turvi would play out the same drama as Iaul?

"Your Majesty, it is better to turn the attention of the Pope to the north and avoid too much intersection with the Pope. ”

The Imperial Minister's proposal reminded the Emperor of a request for support from the Holy Emperor's Church a month ago.

"I see, for the sake of Karokaimen, this is the only way. ”

After waiting for a long time, the Pope's chariot came into their sight.

After the Pope got out of the car, the Emperor of Karokemen waited for the other to come.

"I've seen Your Majesty. "I've seen His Holiness the Pope. ”

The two greeted each other as Iaur had met.

Karo XV observed for a moment and found that the Pope was no longer stained with the blood as he had been rumored, but cleaner than when he had seen it last time.

The Pope noticed his strange look: "For this meeting, the clothes have been changed, and His Majesty cares." ”

The action is basically fine, and it seems that as Beglie officially said, the Pope was not injured at all.

"Well, then please, Your Holiness the Pope. ”

Karu XV assumed a royal posture and gracefully invited the pope into the imperial capital.

Dai Wangjue did not say a word from beginning to end, and followed the Pope as a golden-veined apologetic.

The werewolf's instincts told him that the situation was out of control.
