Chapter 24 The Wound That Never Heals
There was a rush of footsteps on the stairs, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and Sylvanas stumbled in, crying out, "Master, he...... What's wrong with you? โ
The pale gray strands of hair obscured Medirri's face, but she slowly lifted her face and brushed her hair with her left hand, not minding Sylvanas to see her face. She tucked her long gray hair back at the back of her head, and with her right hand she tore a wooden skewer on the floor and stuck it in her hair, pinning it away. When she did this, Medirli didn't deliberately hide it, and the hot water still kept flowing from those slightly narrowed beautiful eyes, and she was not controlled by her at all, and she didn't want to control it.
Sylvanas stood dumbfounded, watching, not knowing what to say or do, but Medirli asked indifferently, "Is it strange?" โ
The young man woke up and shook his head desperately: "No, no! Certainly not surprising! But...... In fact...... It should be like this......"
Medirli stood up, her steps a little unsteady and she looked very weak. She walked towards the door, and as she passed Sylvanas, she whispered, "It wasn't supposed to be like this. You know what, he...... It's a. โ
The girl was a full head taller than Sylvanas, staggered past, a few strands of silver-gray hair flying across his delicate and poignant face. Medirri was weak, but now like a sheathed sword, waiting in silence to erupt. Compared to her, Sylvanas was as weak as a wounded rabbit.
The girl who pulled up her hair showed another kind of demeanor, another kind of slaughter. Sylvanas only felt that suddenly the familiar girl had grown up, and the thick and deep dark aura emanating from her body made him shudder. That kind of trembling from the bottom of his heart was something he had never experienced in Su. However, when the girl's back disappeared, it was not only the tears he had never seen on her that stayed in Sylvanas's heart, but also the scarlet nick on her face.
It was a new wound, so red that he couldn't breathe.
There was the sound of broken wood outside the door, and without looking, Sylvanas knew by perception that it was an old-fashioned display case containing artifacts and an old 19th-century violin. The violin flew into the air and fell into the hands of Medirri. She pushed open the door at the end of the hallway and onto the large terrace.
The cement fence of the terrace is crudely made and covered with dry climbing vines. But on this night, it makes it seem extraordinarily lonely.
The clouds in the sky are so low that people want to go crazy. Not far away, the lower edge of the clouds was dyed with a faint blue light from nowhere. The light was dim, but it was enough to illuminate some of Medirri's well-defined countenances and cast shadows on others. It was a world of black and white, dark gray and dark green, except for the scarlet, which was dazzlingly red.
Medirli rested the violin between her shoulders and neck, and the ancient bow rested on the strings of the same age, and began to play without any brewing.
Ga! A piercing single note kicks off the song.
It's not like the sound of a violin, which is full of roars, tremors, and metal percussions! It's like a person standing 10,000 meters in the air, looking down on the endless wilderness.
The earth cracked in the wilderness, mountains collapsed, parched rivers cracked, and the wreckage of towering buildings slowly toppled and gradually swallowed up by bottomless fissures. The car was flattened in the crash, and the steel bars had just been torn alive. Solid concrete which is ruining the world of miรจ, but without any life. In this world, there are no people, no capable people and mutated creatures, not even insects. In this world, there is no life at all.
The ephemeral violin piece came to an abrupt halt at the highest note, and the old violin exploded into ashes in Medirli's hands, completing its final elegy. Medirri, on the other hand, remained in a lifting position, as if unaware that the violin had been ruined by the surging energy, and it was not until a moment later that she slowly lowered her hands.
It's over.
It was only at this time that Sylvanas could not begin to breathe again. In just one song, he has been completely captured by the world in it, and the syllables of the golden iron horse, like a strong and powerful hand, are tightly wrapped in his heart. From this ruined movement, Sylvanas hears no sadness, only coldness, indifference, killing, and ......
In a lifeless world, that eternal loneliness.
In just one song, it has been heard dozens of kilometers away, and it can be heard even in the resting place. I don't know how many people, in the middle of the cold night, were awakened from their dreams by this sudden song.
Sylvanas found himself kneeling on the ground at some point, relying on his hands to support his body, and the emotions that he had been trying to block had been completely triggered by a piece of music, and his mind had already collapsed. He found that now he couldn't tell how he felt about Su at all, which was beyond the fear and obedience that the puppet should have to his master, but he couldn't tell what it was. Just knowing, at least at this moment, his heart hurts a little desperately.
In a somewhat blurred vision, he saw a new mark on the floor in front of him, and remembered that Medirli had just torn off a wooden skewer from it and pinned her long hair. Around the new mark, there is still a puddle of water stains at this moment, and the remnants of dissolved small creatures can be vaguely distinguished. It dissolves into water, breaks down the carpet, and seeps into the floor below. In a few moments, when the water dries up, all traces of it in the world will disappear. So he knew that Medirri would keep the stick forever, because it was soaked with the traces of Sue, who had been his master.
Footsteps rang out from outside the door, and Medirli entered. She looked calm, no different from usual, and even had a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips, a little lazy. But Sylvanas knew that she was different. He could not perceive a shred of light or warmth from Medirli, at least in the perceived world, she was completely submerged in absolute darkness and coldness.
Forever to darkness.
For some reason, such a thought suddenly appeared in Sylvanas's mind.
Glancing at Sylvanas on the ground, Medirli said lightly, "Okay, get up, you're almost crying." You know what's going on, right? โ
Sylvanas stood up, wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! But it's not very clear. โ
Medirri nodded and said, "It is enough to know a little." So, are you afraid of death? โ
Sylvanas was stunned: "What are you going to do?" โ
"Go to the war of the Bloody Council, go to kill people, go find his woman, and maybe his children." To Medirri, it seemed easy.
Sylvanas, who already knew something about the Bloody Council, understood what it meant, but he didn't answer, just stretched out his hands and pulled up a silver hair that was already a little too long. The hands of those more than women, there was a faint flame that was almost invisible. The silver hair, which had been falling like a waterfall, quickly curled and broke in the flames, and as the strands of hair spilled from the sky, Sylvanas was left with only a centimeter long, jagged short and broken hair. And his lips and eyes were as red as the scars on Medirri's face, and they were blindingly red.
Seeing Sylvanas's actions, Medirri smiled and said, "You are very special, unlike us, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds or thousands of years." So, have you really thought it through and won't regret it? If you leave now, I won't mind. โ
"No regrets." Sylvanas said lightly, as if talking about a trivial matter. In his demeanor, he suddenly became somewhat similar to Medirli.
Medirri nodded and said, "Okay, pack up and leave." Don't worry, sister, I will take care of you and won't let you die too early. โ
"Sister?" Sylvanas snorted, skeptical. After his hair became shorter, he became bolder.
"What, what's wrong?" Medirri's expression was a little dangerous.
"I'm eighty-one years old!" Sylvanas protested.
Medirri snorted and said, "I'm seventeen." โ
Then, the question of the title was thus decided, Medirli was the older sister.
In the darkness of the night, Medirri and Sylvanas stepped out of the house where they were sheltering. When the cold wind blew in his face, Sylvanas suddenly asked, "Sister, I always feel that the master should still be alive, maybe he will come back after a while." โ
Medirli sighed softly and said, "Even if I can come back, it will definitely ...... No, it's probably not him. So ......"
"What if...... Is the master really not coming back? โ
"In that case...... I'll let the world bury it for us. โ
โฆโฆ
Two pillars of snow-white light suddenly pierced the night, shining on Medirri and Sylvanas. This is a high-power military searchlight, which used to be used for night air defense, and the powerful beam of light illuminates the two of them to the fullest.
"Humph! The tone is not small! I'd like to see if you have what it takes! A gruff voice rang out from the darkness. With these words, a tower-like man stepped out of the shadows under the lights. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step caused the ground to tremble slightly. Heavy alloy armor was cast over his steel-like body, adding to his intimidation. The sword and shield on the cuirass indicate that he was also a great knight, and that he was very powerful.
Medirri's elegy not only alarmed the inhabitants of the neighborhood, but also woke up all the garrisons in the vicinity of the fortress. When she and Sylvanas walked out of the gate, one of the high knights stationed at the fortress had already arrived at the scene with an escort and set up their positions. And the last conversation between Medirri and the boy was in front of the great knight and his subordinates.
The Great Knight was very angry, but he gathered the strength of his whole body and was on full alert. Although there were only two beautiful girls opposite, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness. In the light, he could clearly see the glaring scar on Medirri's face, the drop of blood that was about to fall, and his heart contracted slightly.
Medirri's eyes were slightly raised, and her gaze swept over the grand knight, the knight's lieutenant, the subordinate soldiers, and the ordinary residents who heard the movement and walked out of the house, and said lightly: "I don't want to kill people for the time being, so get out!" โ
The big knight's face instantly floated a layer of purple red, and before the surging anger could burst out, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and Medirli had appeared in front of him, smashing his chest with a fluttering punch!
For a brief moment, he didn't have time to react at all, but instinctively crossed his arms and rested them on his chest, blocking Medirli's blow. An unstoppable force came through his chest, smashing his arms back without hesitation, hitting his own chest. However, the tremendous force that was enough to smash the alloy cuirass to the great knight fell on the great knight, and it miraculously disappeared without any feeling!
As soon as doubts flashed through the Great Knight's mind, he suddenly fell into complete darkness in front of him! In the eyes of onlookers, they only saw Medirli punch the big knight in the chest, and then his head suddenly rose into the sky, flying more than ten meters before exploding into a cloud of blood mist in the air! His body was still upright, except for the blood gushing out of the gap in his neck like a fountain.
The Grand Knight's deputy and the soldiers were stunned for a full moment before the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun rang out, but in the end, none of the guns could be successfully fired. Everyone froze in place after opening and aiming, and a straight red line appeared in the center of their faces. Their eyes were glazed, and one by one they fell down on their backs to the sky, and a thin mist of blood erupted from the middle of their bodies, waving like flags.
Medirri's figure flickered a few times, then reappeared in place. The sword, which belonged to the Great Knight, appeared in her hand at some point, and after two spins, it was thrown casually by Medirli. It flew a hundred meters in an instant, nailed deep into the trunk of a large tree, and the blade of the sword pierced through the body of the tree, revealing a few centimeters on the other side. The sharp tip of the sword rested right next to an old man's ear hole, and just three centimeters forward was enough to pierce the skull and pierce the brain. The old man trembled, sweat rolling down his forehead, and the rifle in his hand trembled, and the crosshair couldn't hold either Medirri or Sylvanas. The imminent threat of death robbed him of the best of courage, and with a thud, the automatic rifle slipped from his hands and fell to the ground.
The old man had a lot of hunting experience, but he didn't have any ability, and he was just one of the ordinary people of the Holy Radiance Crusader.
Having killed a great knight and his entire guard with a wave of his hand, Medirri beckoned to Sylvanas as if he had done a trivial thing, and headed southwest. And those ordinary people who hid in the dark and didn't dare to make any moves were completely ignored by her. They don't dare to make any moves, life is cherished by anyone.
Sylvanas benefited a lot from the instantaneous battle, and on the way, he began to seriously ask Medirli for advice on fighting skills and strategies: "Sister, didn't you just say that you didn't want to kill people today? Is this just to paralyze the opponent? โ
"No, I didn't kill anyone, and those who have the ability are not considered people."
