The scene was so strangely deadlocked.

According to Andre's conclusion hidden in the depths of chaotic memories and someone's long-term observation of idol dramas, if the high-profile man and woman in front of him are the protagonists of the story, then this series can be filled with some content again because of the tangled plot in front of him, and then there are several episodes on the water.

But standing on the edge of a town that is about to become a battlefield, the Children of the Abyss are not as interested as the guys around them. In addition to the sane part, the composition of the team provides a good reason for their actions to leave the land as soon as possible. There were three orc girls who spoke for themselves, and even Larry was eighty percent sure that the orc warriors who stopped outside the town would not embarrass him too much, let alone a werewolf girl who was the only daughter of the chief. While everyone's attention is on Androni, leaving here as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment, otherwise these guys around who can't think of a way to escape and have sharp ideas will hit the three girls around them with their heads if they can't say it well, and then stage a scene-stealing scene that is very similar to the girl Androni in the red dress is currently encountering.

If the same thing really happened to him, Andrei's mood could be expected to be no calmer than that of the "Mr. Nineteen" in the crowd, after all, he was not like the "Mr. Nineteen" who was surrounded by his entourage but was silent, he alone represented almost all the combat effectiveness of this small team.

So, while almost everyone was paying attention to Adrian and Andronie's next "emotional collision", the Children of the Abyss took their friends to walk around the periphery of the crowd in a very low-key manner. It's just that the crowd at the intersection is too dense, and although there are only six people in their group, it is difficult to leave quickly from the gap in the crowd without disturbing everyone's interest.

"I'm not going to let you go...... Never!!" Adrian's voice reached the ears of the children of the abyss through the noisy discussion of the crowd, and if it weren't for the hearing far beyond mortals, André might not have had a chance to know what kind of fierce conflict was going on between the two protagonists of the story. However, the children of the abyss, who were lucky enough to watch this rare performance in the "special seat", were not very interested in the ending of Androni's thin life, after all, the situation of their gang at the moment was not necessarily much better than that of the proud girl in the red dress in the middle of the crowd.

"Even if His Majesty the Lord of Radiance personally sends his messenger to shelter you, I will not let you go!" In the midst of the shadows, Adrian spoke in a voice that only he and Anne could hear, enough to be regarded as blasphemous, and the young knight's deliberately suppressed voice trembled uncontrollably, revealing his stubborn but inevitably wavering heart.

Androni made a promise to the gods to squeeze out the young man who had taken him into his possession, but Adrian uttered disrespectful remarks with a hideous expression that even the gods could not stop him, although the others present did not know that this man who at first looked righteous and awe-inspiring dared to say such a bold thing.

In the human society of Herrera's followers in the city-states, those who dare to openly disrespect the sun god are not much different from the evil aliens who lurk in the abyss to the ignorant populace. But Androni, who is accustomed to seeing those so-called aristocrats and the like on the surface, knows that like the man in front of her, he is as glamorous and pious on the surface, but in fact he is arrogant and conceited. On the surface, they follow the teachings of the Church of the Gods, and are as loving and respectful as the messengers sent by His Majesty to the mortal world, but behind the scenes, they often do some hidden things. Compared to those human-looking guys, Adrian's immature impulse seemed a little stupid and ridiculous.

"Your Majesty's earthly radiance may not illuminate a soul like yours that hides in the shadows, but it has given me the courage and strength to fight against fate. After making sure that Adrian was not what she wanted to be, Androni's mood calmed down miraculously.

The destiny of a lifetime and the fantasy of the child of destiny have made it difficult for the girl to sleep on many starry nights, and the better the girl who is called Anne by those close to her, the more she is flustered and the more she suffers from the hope of her fate......

If the above words are described in a more straightforward way, it can be understood that a very small number of gifted women will find it difficult to find a good home because they are too good to find a good home, simply because the men who can match them in the eyes of others or themselves are too scarce, so they become more and more self-pitying...... In other words, the difficulty of marrying will be even higher because of this.

Since ancient times, there have been many lives due to this. failed to marry himself as soon as possible, or did not choose the right person, and then became a "collection" that men who are "big shots" compete for, and their fate can no longer be autonomous, and their lives are mostly sad.

If our son of the abyss were to judge, he might think that such a heavy fate was not simply because those excellent women were too pretentious, but because this unfair social ******** and morality put a heavy shackle on them early on.

As far as the children of the abyss know, most civilizations have stricter standards of female chastity than men. As a result, most good girls will be more strict when customizing standards for their significant other, after all, it is the expectation of the entire social culture for them from the beginning. Since choosing only once in a lifetime is what people respect and is right, what is wrong with thinking more about it when choosing?

Relatively speaking, due to various reasons, men can generally have wider criteria when choosing a mate.

It's a big deal, I've looked for it again.

Of course, this gap between the sexes is only relative.

Talking so much about marginal topics, in fact, it is not because the author is a feminist in the strict sense of the word...... Rather, it is due to the fact that the fragments of memories that make up Andrei's soul come from many different individuals, which makes him completely unrelated to traditional machismo, and there are some hidden parts of his mind about women, which makes him more considerate of women than ordinary men while being a man. As someone who has had a bit of a special experience and experience, he sees things more holistically than the average person, although it's hard to say what special impact this actually has on him.

It's just that the Androni we want to describe now is not an excellent woman in the ordinary sense. Specifically, when she encounters a situation that is difficult to resist, she usually does not choose to give in easily, but will take some actions that are difficult for ordinary people to put into action.

If it is summarized in the mother tongue of the son of the abyss, it is - rather for the jade to be broken, not to be the whole tile. Since you are already destined to not be able to get the peaceful happiness you want, it is better to simply twist the cruel fate in front of you to the end!

So the girl in the red dress smiled faintly, took out an old dagger from her sleeve, and gently pressed it against her delicate and white neck: "The great morning light and the Lord of Radiance warn us that even if the road ahead is dark and we can't see the direction clearly, we must not let go of the hope in our hearts, and our fate will eventually be changed by the struggle of mortals!"

Bright red and jewel-like beads of blood slipped from Androni's collarbone and sank into the bright red collar as if it were just a momentary illusion.

"What do you want to do!?" Adrian, who was still determined to win, began to panic, although his reason told him that this was just a means for that clever and special woman to retreat, but he didn't know why, but the end of the fragrance and jade loss was repeated again and again in his heart, and in just a few breaths, the imaginary image of Androni falling in a pool of blood in different postures kept repeating in his mind - she was serious! Just because she's the one who never wants to force herself to accommodate others in certain things!

The sudden change caused an uproar among the onlookers, and in the midst of this unusual commotion, Andrei was quietly and carefully leading his companions slowly through the crowd.

Beside "Mr. Nineteen", a rugged man with a calm gaze looked over the girl's shoulder and landed on the ordinary-looking dagger, and then frowned at a slightly green blonde young man beside him.

"I'm sorry sir!" Miss Anne said she wanted to borrow my dagger to change the unnatural part of her skirt...... "The latter defended himself quietly and hurriedly, a little frightened that she had inadvertently contributed to the tension before her.

But in fact, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the girl in the red dress, and few people cared about how the sharp blade in the girl's hand came from.

Anyway, the dagger was already in the girl's hand, wasn't it?

"No...... Not only in the teachings of the Lord of Radiance, but even in the teachings of all the gods in this world, it is an unforgivable felony to voluntarily give up your life! After death, your soul will surely sink into darkness and suffer unimaginable pain for mortals! You will never be able to look up to the glory of the gods again!" Although he subconsciously believed that the other party could do everything at this moment, Adrian still tried to influence Anne's choice through his words.

Adrian was talking about things that even the lowly cubs who lived by begging and stealing on the muddy streets knew very well, but he still didn't have much confidence in his heart to convince the girl in the red dress in front of him.

You must know that this Miss Androny of the Augustine family once successfully planned an escape from Quisha Castle at the age of fifteen. The reason for her to do this was simply because Anne's biological father had set up a marriage affair for her that did not please her, and this rebellious enough behavior left the powerful old Augustine family with little to do with her—the action-driven Miss Androni fled to the Twilight Cathedral of the Glorious Church, to which Quisha Fort belongs. She then spent four years as a devotional candidate for the Sun God in the famous cathedral. Androny, who followed the penance, was responsible for receiving the ladies and ladies who came to worship for a long time, and if it weren't for the great change in Augustine's internal power, Androni would have had the opportunity to become one of the youngest ascetic ladies in the church in two years. Even many people who don't know the inside story now think that Androni is still safe and hiding in Twilight Cathedral. The auction did not publicize the identity of Androni's alternate priest, also in order to avoid being overly involved in the church, which some considered blasphemous to the gods.

Would the devout girl go against the teachings of the gods and plunge a cold-lustrous dagger into his throat? Adrian wasn't sure, he couldn't be sure, and at this moment he even cursed in his heart several times for the guy who let the girl in the red dress get the dagger.

"If you are an unbeliever who does not know reverence, the true meaning of His Majesty's teachings will naturally not be understood by you. Androni smiled wantonly, her scarlet lips were like the neon in the clear sky after the rain, and people couldn't take their eyes off it, "It represents the light of mercy and the Lord of the Dawn teaches the world not to give up the determination to fight in the face of fate...... At this moment, this inconspicuous ordinary blade is the only way for me to fight against my fate. ”

"The soul of a self-exiled man must be rejected by the gods, as everyone knows! You can't do that! You were a probationary priest in the Church, and Her Majesty Herrera will never forgive you!" Adrian retorted in a panic, but was interrupted by the maiden he wanted to capture as his own property.

"Some of Your Majesty's seemingly contradictory or obscure teachings need to be understood by everyone in their own experience and experience. Rightly or wrongly, that is the revelation that believers get from their fate......" The girl's lips opened lightly, and she spoke eloquently. In terms of doctrinal understanding, these men who are in and out of the slave market at the moment are naturally no match for them.

However, Androni knew very well in her heart that as a believer in Érela, since she had made a choice, she had to suffer those established punishments.

In other words, no matter how she justifies it, the soul of a person who voluntarily gives up his life will not be accepted by the gods after death. For an unbeliever like the Children of the Abyss, such a statement is a myth, if not nonsense. In this life, you have to think about the things of the next life, and this way of living is inevitably a little too aggrieved, but for almost all devout believers, going to the kingdom of the gods to receive the blessings of the gods after death is the ultimate pursuit for which they can give everything.

So no matter how calmly the girl with a dagger in her hand and competing with her own life laughed at this moment, her heart was still a little distracted. Even unbelievers like Andrei know that many so-called fanatics are not afraid of death at all, but they are afraid of being abandoned by the gods they believe in.

Androni's heart was filled with fear of the unknown fate after death, but she still smiled and looked around, even if her actions would be rejected by the world and the gods, the proud girl still stubbornly maintained her precarious self-esteem.

Just when she was too nervous to act, a side face in the crowd that was hard to ignore appeared in her sight, although the person moved cautiously and was almost hidden by the crowd around her, but it was like fate to meet the girl's eyes at this moment. That particular figure, to Andronie, was as special as a jewel mixed into the gravel, and which was out of place with the people around her, a handsome face not inferior to that of a beautiful maiden, and a wonderful, differently colored eye, and slightly pointed ears......

"Mr. Mephistopheles...... I wonder if you will be able to grant me this too willful and reluctant request?" The girl who saw the Children of the Abyss in the crowd seemed to grasp the last straw that belonged only to hers, and Androni clenched the hem of her chest with a little excitement, but her other hand was still tightly gripping the palm-long blade against her throat......

Following the girl's line of sight, everyone present, including Adrian and "Mr. Nineteen", subconsciously looked in the direction of the Children of the Abyss at this moment. And those who have basic self-knowledge, or self-awareness, even avoid people's eyes and move their own steps, and then the bewildered Son of the Abyss and his companions who are also at a loss are so exposed to the eyes of the crowd-

"Your sister's ...... What's going on!?" André naturally heard Androni's words shouted at him like many people, but he couldn't understand why Andronie suddenly said these things to him at this moment, so that he couldn't figure out the cause and effect and logic! Wasn't she ready to die generously!?

"Do you mean...... I spat at the door of the Temple of Radiance when I was dreaming last night, and Everera found out!?" At this moment, the Child of the Abyss remembered the dream of the Holy Light smashing on his head last night. Otherwise, how can we explain that the former "cellmate" suddenly remembers to trouble himself at this moment!?

Or is it just to get revenge on society!?

Andrei, who was in a state of confusion, froze on the spot like a fool, even though he knew that he should take some necessary action or measures as soon as possible. But I haven't been able to figure out for a while how to resolve the inexplicable crisis in front of me, which is likely to make me the target of public criticism.
