14700 BC, the night of the sinking of Atlantis......

A sea of fire. Alius, a young man who had only been born in this world for sixteen years, his tired figure searched through the ashes of every ruin, and cried out in a hoarse throat: "Aniyes, where are you?

Where the hell are you!......"

Alyux searched aimlessly, weeping and walking through one rubble after another, filling his vision with nothing but ruins and charred limbs.

Suddenly, his ears moved, and he seemed to hear something. Achilles rekindled his hope, and ran wildly, hurried to the place where the noise was unusual.

Turning around the ruins, in the light of the fire, he suddenly saw a thin figure retreat from the burning house, dragging a man with his arms, and struggling to drag the man out of the fire.

Alyux took three steps and two steps, and ran behind the thin figure, and before he could speak, he heard the other man breathe quickly and said, "Come and help." ”

Alyux immediately judged from his voice that the person in front of him was the sweetheart he was looking for, and he couldn't help but murmur, "Anyes, are you still alive? ”

Hearing this, Alyes shuddered and slowly turned his head, revealing a smoky but still beautiful face, and said excitedly: "Alius, is that you? Didn't you run away with them?"

Achilles blushed, and said resignedly: "I was already on the boat, but I didn't find you, and I asked the others and said that I didn't see you, maybe you were still rescuing, I was very worried, so I ...... Just ......"

"So you're coming back to me? Hehe, that's stupid. ”

Anijes smiled charmingly at the boy, his expression full of sweetness.

Although there were no words at this time, and the sound of burning flames was everywhere, the boys and girls looked at each other like that, and their hearts had never been so close as they were at this moment, as if they were both merged into the same melody in an instant.

Not long after the affection, Aniyes suddenly became agitated, and exclaimed, "What are we doing?

Next, the lovers work together to save survivors from the apocalyptic world. As the minutes ticked by, Alyux was fine, but Anies was so tired that he could barely stand up, and he was held on by a high degree of nervousness. Even so, the man and woman were so happy that they didn't care about the burns and blisters all over their bodies.

A few more people were rescued, and Añes was unsteady on his feet, and suddenly he was limp in Aliux's arms. Seeing this, the young man was distressed and said, "Anyes, we have done our best, let's go." If you don't leave, it's too late. ”

Aniès struggled to open his eyes and look at his sweetheart, then nodded.

Alyux picked up his lover and was about to walk in the direction of the harbor, when the ground suddenly shook violently, and the ground rose and fell, and there were many cracks out of thin air.

The two of them were knocked to the ground by the strong earthquake, and just as they were terrified, a burning house next to them suddenly collapsed, completely turning into a raging fire.

Aliux didn't care much, he used his body to protect his lover, and he was about to flee from this place, but he heard his lover in his arms shouting hard: "Wait a minute!

Listen, my dear, what is that sound?"

Before Alyux could surprise his lover's change of address to him, he felt the intermittent cry of a baby faintly in his ears.

Yes...... Wow... Wow......

The two glanced at each other, followed the prestige, and secretly screamed in their hearts that it was not good. It turned out that the baby's cry was not coming from somewhere else, but from the house that had just collapsed. I think that the baby's family must have put the child in a solid and secure place at a critical moment, out of a sense of survival before despair, but they didn't want the house to collapse, or sent the child into the fire pit.

Anies closed his eyes and said weakly, "Save the child." ”

Aliux became anxious: "My dear, now that we are in such a situation, we are still unable to protect ourselves, how can we save that child?"

You see, the fire is so big, the baby is probably alive...... Don't live ......"

Alyux didn't dare to say more, because he saw his lover's eyes wide open, and his sharp gaze was shooting at him.

Aliux knew very well the character of his lover, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and save the child." Aniyes, wait for me, you must wait for me!"

With that, he turned around and rushed into the flames. To say that although this Alyux is only a teenager, after all, he was born in Ishdar and is the best of the same group of heroes. I saw him throwing his hands and kicks, and a large amount of earth, rocks and scorched wood were cleared aside. His eyes were red at this time, and he completely ignored the smoke of the tongue of fire, concentrated on identifying the source of the cry, and finally found the baby in a gap.

Alius was so excited that before he had taken two steps to pick up the baby, there was another wave of rocking, and he rolled into the reddish ashes, and in an instant, the sound and smell of burnt flesh came at the same time.

With a roar of rage, Alyux ripped off his clothes and wrapped around the baby, almost naked, using his hands and feet to protect the baby and crawl forward.

By the time he crawled out of the smoke and flames, there was not an inch of intact skin on his body, but even so, he came out alive and in good health.

When the line of sight was clear again, the ground not far away was empty, and the shadow was gone.

"Aniyes, Aniyes, where are you, have you left me behind?

Woowoo...... I've already rescued the child, don't leave me......"

Alyux felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't believe what was happening, and cried out to crawl to the place where his lover had promised to wait for him.

Suddenly, he shuddered and stopped all movements, only to see a woman's right hand on the messy ground.

The hand, though not very beautiful and covered with black and gray wounds, maintained a distinctive gesture: the index finger was raised high, and the other four fingers were held together in the palm of the palm. And the direction of the palm is Alyx.

Seeing this, Alyux understood everything, and could not help but cry like a knife, and call out the name over and over again from his hoarse throat: Anies.

In Atlantean wedding customs, at the moment when the wedding ceremony is completed, the bride will take the initiative to extend her right hand and let the groom put the ring of the sea carved from shells on his index finger, which represents the acceptance of the other party as his husband and will always receive the blessing of the gods of the sea.

At this moment, Aliux looked at the hand, groping frantically on his body, but forgot that his clothes were either burned to ashes or used to wrap the baby, the shell ring that had been secretly ground by his sweetheart and hidden close to his chest, but he was afraid that it had been lost on this night.

After searching for a long time without success, Alyux smiled with tears in his eyes: "Honey, are you willing to be my bride anymore? It's a pity that I can't find the Ring of the Sea, but it's okay, I'll go to the beach and make a new one now, I must put it on for you, wait for me." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the crack in the ground that devoured Aniyes suddenly cracked again, first spewing out of it a man-high flame, and then slowly pouring out of the magma.

No!!!

Alyux let out a terrible cry as the hand withered in an instant, then turned into charcoal, and finally slowly sank into the magma. Ignoring the spread of lava on the ground, he crawled over to grab the wreckage of his lover's palm, but felt a strong wind blow over his head, and then he was picked up by a pair of arms, and the place where Aniyes had disappeared forever became farther and farther away from his vision.

"Boy, don't want to live anymore?"

A purple-robed Aloy Servant hovered in mid-air not far from the ground, shouting at the burned boy in his arms.

Alyux turned a deaf ear to the words of the servant, and only struggled and cried: "Aniyes!

The servant of the gods, who was accustomed to seeing life and death on this night, sighed secretly, and was about to say some comforting words, but felt that there seemed to be something else in the young man's chest. When he untied the bag, he saw a sleeping baby.

A smile appeared on the servant's face: "Well, it's very good, the courage is commendable, and he actually rescued a child in such a dangerous situation."

Hey, aren't you Alyux? really you? Why didn't you retreat with your family? Oh, I see. Alas, it's really hard for you, it's really rare to see such a loving and righteous child.

It doesn't matter, you're from Ishdar, that's easy, and we'll get you back to normal!"

At this moment, Alyux could not hear what the divine servant was saying, only the sound of burning flames, the cry of despair and helplessness, and the soft whispers of his lover in his world. The familiar and affectionate figure, walking into the raging flames in a trance, suddenly turned around and beckoned to him.

Alyux tried to keep his eyes open, but he couldn't see the face distorted by the swaying flames!

......

"Ahh......h It hurts!

I can't take it anymore, please kill me!"

......

"This kid is Alyux, the genius of the last batch of new heroes?"

"Yes, Servant of God. ”

......

"I don't want to be a hero, I just want to die. It hurts, kill me!"

......

"Well, very good seedlings. When will the Altar of the Immortal Summoning be completed?"

"It will take a year and a half to return to the servant of God at the earliest. How?

......

"Please, please stop torturing me, let me die, please......"

......

"Lord Divine Servant, with all due respect, this child has burned as much as ninety percent of his body, and most of the tendons and tendons in his arms and legs have been burned and atrophied, even if he is cured, it will ...... There will also be mobility issues. ”

"Well, that's a hassle. But he's a hero, and he's a very talented hero. After the fall of the empire, most of the heroes gave their lives to return, and there was not much left. So, what we need most now is heroes, you know?

Think of a way to save him. No, let him return to the Altar of the Heroic Soul.

Remember, I want his heart, and as for the body, it doesn't matter whatever. But try to summon a little stronger, you know what I mean?"

"Do as you command, Servant of God!"

......

"No, don't, don't save me, if you have a way, go and save Anieres.

She saved so many people, God just took her, but let me survive, is there anything more ridiculous in the world?

No, I don't want to live like this, you go and save her, I am willing to exchange my life for her!"

......

"Hehe, Lord Aryux, I didn't expect you to be afraid of fire. Rest assured, that little flame won't hurt us. ”

"No, I'm not afraid of fire, it's just that it's not what I want. The flame I longed for was not like that. ”

"Oh, what a strange argument. Alyux, what is the flame you yearn for?"

"I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. Then, I will put the Ring of Shanghai on her, and she will take me, and we will go to Heavenly Paradise together!"

"Ahahahaha......

Brother, you're not wrong with your brain, are you?

"Huh...... Wait and see.

Someday, I'll meet the flame she turned into......"
