If you want to say that there are more than a thousand reasons for refusal.

The fact that the girl in front of her had a relationship with each other and the dice house alone was enough to make nine hundred and ninety-nine of them insignificant.

- No one likes to be taken advantage of, betrayed.

Amy, of course, is no exception.

He never thought of himself as a smart person, but he never knew that he would be stabbed in the back.

The dice house harbored ill will towards him.

More precisely, with ill will towards the one who lurked behind him and manipulated his fate.

The black-haired and dark-eyed boy knew this incomprehensibly, but he had never had the naïve idea that the enemy of his enemies was his friend—from the previous few collaborations or exploits, he had come to appreciate the malice of the dice house—to be friends with them?

So, say no?

Save the world...... In the real world, this reason or excuse can feel suspicious no matter how you think about it.

And what is even more suspicious is the petite girl in front of her.

- Jiasu.

At the end of the harvest festival, she left this name.

Compared with the innocent, impulsive and naughty runaway girl at that time, although Jiasu has not changed much in appearance at this moment, the transformation of temperament is extremely amazing - obviously it is only a few days, but the girl seems to have grown up overnight, and only vague traces of innocence and playfulness are left on her, replaced by the kind of transcendent confidence that seems to be in the palm of her hand.

It's just a different person.

But even so, the words of refusal could not be said in any way.

Because

There are no more options.

When the footsteps of Dagon, the god the diver worshipped, shook Hemtika, he knew that time was running out for him.

The flame of resistance has been extinguished, and this ancient city, which has long been reduced to ruins, will eventually die completely.

With the former inhabitants of the earth.

So—

There was a slight pause in her thoughts, and the girl's voice as crisp and melodious as a lark sounded.

"So, what is your decision?" the little girl named Jiasu looked at him, her dark eyes seemed to be connected to some unknown space, making the young man who looked at him dizzy for a while, "Time is limited, I just wait for you-three...... Well, thirty hits is fine. ”

"I don't trust you. It didn't take thirty seconds at all, just 0.03 seconds, and Amy gave a reply.

"It's really a sad statement," the little girl with black hair and black eyes pouted, wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "to refuse so directly, it seems that in your heart, Duke is more important - well, this is also a helpless thing, who let him know you earlier than me, and you look so beautiful." ”

Words that come out of one's mouth that no one understands.

It's just that the teenager can feel a rather subtle malice in it.

"I don't trust the dice house. He raised an eyebrow, followed his instincts, and didn't continue with the conversation.

- If you continue, it feels like the door to a new world will be opened.

"But you don't have a choice right now," Gaze swept over the thick legs that stretched like a rainbow above Hemtika City not far away, and Jiasu restrained the smile on his face, "Isn't it?"

"But that's not a reason to believe you," Amy looked directly into her dark eyes and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, "You can't rush to the doctor when you're sick - this proverb left by the ancestors ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was simply and rudely interrupted by the other side.

"I don't remember saying that. The petite girl, who was as small as a child, vetoed it lightly, and then, as if sensing the consternation of the Glory, winked playfully, "Of course, I may have forgotten it." ”

"You ......" the young gloryman lost his words at once.

"What am I," Jia Su, who was stepping on the large boulder of the ruins, bowed down and leaned towards him, the two pairs of dark eyes were almost close together, and the young man could even clearly feel the hot and humid breath she exhaled from the end of his nose, "Amy Ulysses - you have nothing to lose, why have you been betrayed and used again and again, but now you don't even have the courage to fight against fate?"

"Who the hell are you?" Amy took a step back quietly.

"Me?" the girl retracted, pointed at herself, and chuckled, "Guess?"

"I'm not interested in playing a child's guessing game with you," the young Glory Man forced himself to keep a straight face, "and I'm not going to keep talking about these non-nutritious things, so let's just say anything." ”

"It's not nutritious, it's rippling, and the ...... before" Jia Su raised his eyebrows, and after carefully scanning the circle from top to bottom with his creepy eyes, he retracted his wanton gaze, "What the hell is going on with you? If you have time, you really want to cut it open and take a look." ”

Cut it open?

Amy was slightly stunned.

"Don't worry," said the girl in a casual tone that was not at all reassuring, "it will be assembled for you." ”

"Thank you," the boy pursed his lips, finally making up his mind, "if that's all your sincerity is, then I think our conversation can end here." ”

"Men who are impatient are not welcomed by girls," Kasu didn't seem to realize his determination at all, "Amy—you must not understand, do you?"

"Yes, I don't understand. The boy replied calmly, then turned around, "So, goodbye." ”

"I really can't help you, so let's stop here. The petite girl stopped joking and said in a calm, unebbed voice, "I have a way for you to fight and even kill Dagon. ”

"Why me?" Amy stopped, what Jiasu said earlier had indeed hit him in the dead hole, he had nothing left to lose, he had no choice.

"Because you're something special," the girl who seemed to have something to do with the ancestors answered, and threw the ball of the question to him again, "Don't tell me you didn't know anything about it until now. ”

"Of course not," it's nothing to hide," how much do you really know about my situation. ”

"Not much, but not much more. Kasu jumped down the stone steps, poked his finger in the stomach, and then pointed to the god of the deep divers who had broken free from his restraints not far away and started moving again, "But are you sure you want to listen?"

"Hmm......" There was a brief silence.

But before he could speak, the girl had already said, "I wanted to talk to you again, but it's a pity...... Dagon doesn't give us much time - I'll cut it short, I can give you the power to save the world, and you will pay the price. ”

"At what cost?" Amy asked.

"You're going to die. A short and powerful answer, I don't know if it was his delusion, a trace of sadness flashed in Jiasu's black eyes, "Burned out, there will not be even embers left, and the whole person will be reduced to firewood for the flame to burn." ”

What an unpleasant answer. The black-haired and black-eyed young man sighed, and when he saw that the girl opposite didn't take over, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "But I didn't have a choice, right?" ”

"No," the girl gave her answer in earnestness, "you can refuse." ”

"Who was the one who was egging me to save the world?" Amy, Amy Ulysses couldn't help but be angry and amused when she saw her like this, "and now I can say no—you, even if you contradict yourself, there is a limit." ”

"I just don't want you to be like Ignati who can't even leave the dregs of your soul," Jiasu subconsciously turned his gaze, "Do you remember the last wish of the Harvest Festival?" Actually...... My wish is very simple, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life - but now it seems that the god in charge of the wish is doomed, because you are not someone to let go easily. ”

"That's right," the young Glory Man couldn't tell how he was feeling now, but forced himself to smile the same as before, "You're right, I can't let go, I can't refuse, even if I know that you may be lying to me, knowing that this is a poisonous wine that leads to death, at this time I can only drink it all—by the way, thank you, thank you for making a wish for me." ”

"Why does that sound so embarrassing? Jiasu shook her head, looked away, and didn't make eye contact with the boy, "Speaking of which, doesn't it matter if Dagon is allowed to continue his actions?"

"I'm afraid of death, so I want to talk a little longer. Amy smiled, "If you don't say something now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to say it in the future." ”

"Wait-" Jiasu interrupted a little panicked, "Love, Baoda, my mother can swim." ”

？？？

What is this?

Amy almost choked on her unspoken words.

But after thinking about it, he ignored the girl's inexplicable words and continued: "Actually, I want to thank you, not only for making a wish for me at the harvest festival, but also for giving me a chance to become a hero. ”

"I-"

"Actually, I've always wanted to be a hero, to be a hero to save the world. ”

"But I can't, maybe I'm really stupid, stupid, a tendon, always clumsily messing up everything I do, from the lower to the upper, whether it's being forced to get involved in the conspiracy of the Dark Guild and the Dice House, or foreseeing the destruction of Hemtika and wanting to do something for the city. ”

"And yet, until now, until the end, I have achieved nothing, nothing. ”

"Didn't save the miners in the Ildan pit, didn't save the poor girl who demonized, didn't stop the fire from being extinguished, didn't rewrite the fate of the destruction of Hemtika......"

"Sometimes I even wonder if it makes sense for me to do this, whether my efforts, instead of making everything better, lead everything to a worse end. ”

"But if you don't lie to me, I can really become the hero who saved Hemtika, even if it is only a small moment, even if it is my soul and life that needs to be paid, I have no regrets, and I will go through the rest of my life happily. ”

"Thank you. ”

This is the end of the boy's "last words".

However, the girl named Jiasu did not take any further action, just lowered her eyelids, silent, silent, silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" was a little embarrassed to be left aside, but more urgently.

"No, nothing. The petite girl wiped her eyes lightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I just remembered some things from before—nothing to worry about." ”

"If this is your last wish, I can grant you. She blinked her eyes glittering with tears and looked at him with a brighter light than ever before, "Visitor access can only activate part of the power of 'Dark Blood', and just now, I have activated it briefly through my permission, so please prick up your ears next, and I will tell you the spell to grant your wish and become a hero." ”

“——Mirakloj kaj magio estas tie。 ”

Yes, miracles and magic exist.

If she could not believe in the existence of miracles, then she, and all those who wanted to fulfill their long-cherished wishes, would have given up all hope long before it began, and threw themselves into the arms of despair, sinking in that carefully woven dream, and becoming a lamb in captivity.

So, Amy is lucky to be a hero.

She sincerely thinks so.

- The problems in this world that can be solved by death are not problems.

In comparison, it takes more courage to live to face everything in life.

Because—

That means long, even infinite, captivity and torture, and a perseverance that never sees hope.
