Chapter 100: The Past Is Gone
Li Jia's head was in chaos, not only because he was restrained by Cadiz, but also because of the name "Selinda" he shouted.
When he had just arrived in this world and was hesitating, a young girl like a spring breeze appeared in front of him, making him feel a kind of warmth and calm, something he had never received on earth.
For Li Jia, she is a clear spring in the desert and a treasure in the secret vault. The longer he was in contact with her, the more Li Jia couldn't extricate himself, and every moment of every day, he was looking forward to her arrival like an addict, going crazy.
Novel and ambiguous interactions, secret and exciting dates, beautiful and amorous lovers, everything is getting more and more perfect. However, just when Li Jia felt that she had embraced the whole world, she disappeared silently. For the first time, Li Jia knew what the most bitter pain of being a man was. In the days that followed, he really understood the true meaning of "making people haggard for Iraq".
God always likes to joke with people, and Li Jia's life is always turbulent.
When the school was threatened, and the survival of these more than 700 people was on the front line, Li Jia was ordered to send an envoy to the territory of Viscount Ruiz. A female knight as sassy as the autumn breeze appeared in front of him, she was diligent, wise, just, and persistent, and she made him see hope and gain confidence.
She hand-in-hand let Li Jia get the favor of magic and took the first step on the road of magic. Li Jia admires her like a teacher, Li Jia loves her like a close friend. He knew that something was sprouting in his heart, he was afraid and longing, hesitant and impulsive, he was always eager to know more about her, so he asked the name of the female knight several times, but she never answered directly.
The two women who have appeared in his life have almost no similarities except for red hair, but they share an important place in Li Jia's heart. Li Jia imagined that these two people appeared in front of him at the same time, and they had to choose one to accompany him for life. But he couldn't come up with a single outcome. Because they are so different, it is too difficult to choose.
And at this moment, Li Jia found a common thing between them, named "Selinda".
Sometimes people don't lack the ability to discover, but they lack the motivation to discover. When the name Selinda crossed his mind like lightning, all kinds of subtle memories came flooding back, similar figures, similar movements. The images of the two people quickly overlapped in their minds......
Sir Arias gasped, magic knights don't win with strength, and Awan, who has the blood of giants in hand-to-hand combat, makes her difficult to match. She blessed her with several buffs to kill the two horse thieves while she was fighting him. Although her physical strength had been exhausted at this time, her voice was still clear when she spoke: "Cadiz, I am only a knight of Count Carlos Arias. The fact that we can meet you here means that you have been defeated on the battlefield. Now the rest of you are no match for us. Surrender, I promise you a fair trial from Count Carlos. β
Cadiz obviously didn't expect the other party to be so indifferent, he looked left and right, Orville was stabbed in the rib by Fernando's sword, opening a finger-wide bloody mouth, Awan was already injured, and now he was a little sluggish.
Is it true that she has no friendship for me?
His face was first dazed, and then a little resentful, and said, "Count, if the Count were fair, we would not stand here." β
He pointed to himself, "I'm an unlucky man who has been abandoned by the Earl's Court. But leaving the Earl's Court was the happiest thing of my life, except for one thingβleaving you, Miss Selinda! I am now a free man, and I can pursue what I like, and I can kill what I hate. I never want to go back to that person, no matter who he is. You let us go, and after we leave, we will naturally let these two guys go. I know you're Selinda. I can recognize you even if you wear a mask. You don't have to shy away from that. Unless you take off your mask and prove to me that you are not her. β
"I'm not going to let them out of my sight, I want me to believe in the character of a horse thief? Sir Arias seemed indifferent to Cadiz's tirade, and no one could see the expression behind her mask.
The jazz was silent and firm, the horse thief gritted his teeth, and the two confronted each other for a long time, but neither of them gave in.
Li Jia was pressed on the back of his head by Cadiz, but he forgot that he was afraid, and he was bent on distinguishing the person in front of him. If they were the same person, then the problems in his mind seemed to have been answered.
He observed for a long time as if he had made his own judgment, and his mood was unexpectedly cheerful, and he cried out, "Sir, are you really Selinda? Are you really her? Let me see your face!"
Cadiz looked at Li Jia in surprise, very puzzled by the fact that this hostage had suddenly pulled into his old affairs. He broke Li Jia's body and was about to ask what happened, but at a glance he saw a string of shell necklaces on his neckline.
He ripped off the necklace, and Li Jia waved his hands to take it back, but was punched in the abdomen by Cadiz and nested on the ground like a shrimp. Cadiz didn't use his fighting spirit, but Li Jia felt that a cow had hit him in the stomach, and his saliva spurted out with blood.
All the strength of his body was blown away, and he clutched his abdomen, kneeling on the ground, trembling slightly.
Cadiz took a closer look at the shell necklace, then raised it in his hand and asked, "This shell necklace is a relic left to her by Selinda's mother, and every time I see her, she wears this necklace." She even held the necklace and confided in me several times about the loneliness and boredom of her mother's death, and now the chain was around the mongrel's neck. This bastard is with you again, do you want to deny it? Take off your mask and tell me for yourself what's going on. Otherwise, I'd have strangled these two right now. β
Li Jia knelt on the ground and vomited, but when she heard Cadiz's words, an ecstasy welled up in her heart. It must be her, she gave me something so important. He looked up at Jazz, as if he could see Selinda's face through the mask.
Jazz was silent for a moment, then slowly removed his mask, revealing a handsome face like a girl next door.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Cadiz and Li Jia said in unison.
After Celinda unmasked herself, her voice also changed, and her mature and slightly majestic voice became as clear as a yellow warbler, her eyebrows frowned, and her eyes were full of pity: "Cadiz, maybe we don't see through the mask, it's the best way...... You're defeated, surrender. β
"Selinda, I have been with you for three whole years, just like your shadow, we learn martial arts, talk about everything, don't ...... Can't you let us go?"
"I ......" Selinda wanted to say something, but held back, and finally said, "Okay, I can let you go, but you have to let go of the hostages first." That's the bottom line. β
"Not going to work, boss. Orville whispered in Cadiz's ear: "Even if we take the horse, it will be useless, that woman will use acceleration magic, they really want to chase us immediately, a sprint is enough, we will definitely not be able to escape." β
Cadiz slowly fell into despair surrounded by the knights, he looked at Selinda, then at the necklace in his hand, and then at Li Jia, and suddenly said: "All this, is this person asking you to do the right thing? He must have bewitched you into sending troops, right? He also wants to kill us, right?"
People who are obsessed with love can always find an explanation for the other person's behavior, no matter how ridiculous this explanation is.
"It's none of his business!" said Selinda, frowning.
"And say it's okay!" Cadiz held up the necklace, "you...... You're in love with a magician's man? He didn't even make a move in a fight, and he was caught by me like a chicken. This shell was given as a token to such an idiot?"
"The shell necklace is just a thank you gift. β
"I know how much you value it, and once you cried for two whole days because you couldn't find it. Even if you find it later, the maid who helped you clean up the room has her hand broken and is kicked out of the Earl's Court. β
"Li Jia, he opened the window of another world for me. He deserves to have it. Selinda said.
"Another world? I don't understand what you're saying. Cadiz said frantically, dragging Li Jia over like a dead dog, carrying Li Jia's collar, and lifting him up, "I only know that those magicians have killed so many of me, and now they are entangled with you again! Now, since I can't leave, let's die together? I'm going to kill him and pull out his heart in front of you!"
"I promise that if you hurt them, not only will you die, but all your living relatives will bear the wrath of my father. My father needs to give an account to the magicians, and you know he never gives up. Selinda raised her sword and pointed it at Cadiz.
"You are indeed the woman of the Arias family, and the seeds of betrayal are engraved in your blood!" Cadiz grabbed Li Jia's throat with his hand, and Li Jia's face quickly turned red from congestion. Cadiz glared at Selinda and said, "You want these two people, unless you exchange them for yourself!, otherwise, I will kill him in the slowest and most painful way!"
"Good. Selinda didn't hesitate.
"Miss Arias, no!" Baron Fernando stepped in to grab Selinda, but Selinda had already blessed herself with a swift spell and came not far from Cadiz.
"Bring them over and let them go. I'll take you hostage. Selinda threw her sword on the ground and looked straight at Cadiz.
Cadiz picked up Li Jia, motioned to Orville to escort Shi Hao, and slowly walked towards Selinda. When they were still two meters away from Selinda, Li Jia suddenly shouted: "Selinda, don't be stupid, let him take me away, just let Shi Hao go!"
"Shut up. Selinda said, her hands spread out, palms facing Cadiz, "Let them go, and I'll be here." β
Cadiz gave Orville a look, and the latter let go of Shi Hao and told him to move forward. Cadiz himself put his hand on Li Jia's heart, he never intended to let Li Jia go, this person who has an inextricable relationship with Celinda must die.
He was engrossed in locking on Selinda's every move, ready to kill Li Jia while capturing Selinda. For a master like him, the fighting spirit emitted by one finger can shatter Li Jia's heart.
Just as Selinda was getting closer and closer and gradually entering the control of Cadiz, Shi Hao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around to face Cadiz. At this time, Cadiz and Orville undoubtedly focused their attention on Selinda, the magic knight, and no one paid attention to Shi Hao, an ordinary person with low combat effectiveness. By the time they saw Shi Hao's movements, he had already taken out a pistol from his arms, maybe because of anger, maybe because of hatred, Shi Hao had never been so fast when he pulled out his gun and aim.
Cadiz had gone off when he realized that the black, round-mouthed thing seemed to be the same thing as a rifle. At a distance of three meters, five shots were fired in bursts, and the guns hit Cadiz in the head. Maybe when Cadiz was prepared, ten Shi Hao with pistols couldn't hurt him, but now that he was almost exhausted, and the only remaining strength was to guard against Selinda, he only had the possibility of being shot.
Blood splattered, and Cadiz fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned, Li Jia was a modern person after all, and when she heard the gunshot, she desperately threw herself to the ground, and then crawled to Selena. Selena and Orville are also very shrewd guys. The two immediately understood the situation on the field, and invariably made a move like each other, Selena had a hand, and the ring on the middle finger was inspired to create three ice arrow magic. Orville also shook his hand, and two quenched sleeve arrows shot at Selena's body. Immediately after that, both were hit by each other at the same time. Selena was shot in the thigh by a poisoned arrow, while Orville had a large hole in one of his shoulders poked by an ice arrow. Both fell to the ground.
Baron Fernando and Awan hurriedly rushed towards them with men......
The poisoned arrow made Selinda a little dizzy, she struggled to break open her eyes, and found herself being held in Li Jia's arms, but not far away, a pair of familiar eyes were watching her, these eyes seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they were full of longing.
She shook her head and blinked her eyes hard, trying to see each other more clearly.
It was Cadiz, who was lying on his back on his stomach and his head was on her side, blood pouring from the five holes in his forehead. Selinda thinks he's supposed to be dead, but doesn't know why his eyes are still talking to her.
She was bored.
Are you unwilling? She wanted to ask him.
In fact, you have nothing to be reluctant to, the ice arrow in my ring is actually prepared by you.
The eyes seemed to become sad and resentful.
And Selinda hated it even more, under the gaze of those eyes, she wanted to cry and she wanted to laugh, and she finally chose to close her eyes, the darkness made her drowsy, but also calmed her.
She soon fainted, as she wished.
