Chapter 13: The Price of Salvation

"Pamela, run. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHurry up and get out of here. ”

Hiko, who recognized his identity from the appearance of the visitor, immediately shouted anxiously at Pamela. Either of these Death Knights belonging to the Lich King is a terrifying monster capable of slaughtering an entire town. With a powerful warrior or paladin in front of them, they have even more terrifying power after death, and this power is not too much of a problem to deal with a small ghost.

The little girl was very obedient, and when Yan had just spoken, she subconsciously ran underneath. However, before her form could completely disappear from the ground, the Death Knight on the skeletal horse held out one of his hands to her.

The powerful power of death turned into an invisible hand, which instantly grabbed little Pamela out of thin air, and then brought her directly to the death knight.

"It's weird, it's just a little mortal soul. What allowed you to defy the will of the great Lich King and maintain your consciousness? I should really study it, it must be interesting. ”

"Don't, don't, whoever will save me, who will save me. ”

In the face of the terrifying Death Knight, little Pamela can do nothing but cry and cry for help. And for such a situation, Hiko immediately fell into madness.

"Let go of her, despicable and shameless fellow. Anything comes at me, let her go, you damn bastard, let her go for me. ”

He shouted hoarsely, but no matter how much he shouted, it would be of no avail to the situation at hand. The Death Knight couldn't hear his voice at all, couldn't touch his presence. He was so invisible to the Death Knight that he didn't even notice the guy's existence.

So let Hiko rush to the Death Knight over and over again, trying to save little Pamela from his hands. But he couldn't do anything but throw himself on the ground over and over again. Everything was so ridiculous, so ridiculous that for the first time, Hiko shed tears because of his own powerlessness.

"Let go of her, let go of her. She's innocent, she's just a child. Why can't you let her go. ”

Repeatedly, repeatedly, but no one but Pamela could hear him again. Like a tragic performer, he wept and screamed in vain into the air, but no one would care. At this time, he saw little Pamela's movements.

The poor boy listened to his voice and shook his head vigorously in his direction. Despite the fear and cringe in her heart, she almost almost bit her lip. But she still held back the tears in her eyes and tried her best to make a strong appearance towards Hiko.

She's telling him not to worry about himself. Because she actually knows her situation very well. She's dead, since she's dead. Then there is no need to involve your own friends as well. This is the kindness of little Pamela's heart, although he does not know what to weigh the pros and cons and what to choose. But nature made her choose to do so.

And her approach is actually no different from tearing Yan's heart. He watched as little Pamela was carried away from the ruins of Daron by the Death Knight, and only let out a hoarse roar when she had completely disappeared from his sight.

"Why, you damn bastard. Why did you bring me into this world, why did you let me see these things. If you want me to see the Light, then give me this power. Why not give me the light, why not give me the strength to protect Pamela. ”

"She was just a child, she didn't understand anything, she didn't make any mistakes. She just dreams of being able to see her father return, and she just hopes to grow up in her father's arms. Such a child, why do you want her to suffer this kind of pain. Isn't death enough, does it have to make her suffer at the hands of the scourge?"

"Fuck your Light, damn the Light. You can't even save a child, what's the use of this kind of power, you tell me, what's the use!"

Slamming the ground beneath him, Hiko let out a desperate curse at the guy who wanted to impart his holy light. He threw punch after punch at the ground, wanting to smash the whole ground through, not caring if he would hurt himself. And this is also his original intention, he wants to use physical pain to vent the pain in his heart. However, the nature of this world is doomed, and everything he does is useless.

This made him hate that guy even more, even to the point of wanting to fight him to the death. But in his heart, in fact, what he hates the most is himself. If it weren't for being too weak, if it wasn't for being too incompetent. If she could not be at the mercy of this guy, maybe Pamela wouldn't have suffered this. It's all his fault, it's all his own fault.

The stubbornness in his heart made Hiko blame everything on himself, and he allowed himself to be firmly entangled in the chains of self-blame and remorse, whipping his soul and his heart little by little. And his approach ended up with a long sigh.

"Why are you doing this, child!"

The world stood still at this moment, and at the same time, a bright light appeared in front of Hiko. It was a slender and athletic man. His appearance is handsome and unmatched by ordinary people, with sapphire eyes and somewhat narrow ears that highlight his identity. And the divine light released from his body set off him like a god. Although he was not as tall as the Nords that Hikoshi was used to, Hiko did not underestimate him at all. Even, there was an inexplicable illusion in Hiko's heart. It was as if in front of his eyes he was not an ordinary elf, but a majestic idol sitting high in the temple.

His presence makes people involuntarily feel humbled, and they want to pay him the most heartfelt respect in the most respectful posture. But Hiko had no such thoughts at all at this time, and the sadness in his heart suppressed all his impulses, so much so that the only thing he had to do now was rush up and tug at his collar fiercely.

"Why, why are you doing this. Why did you bring me to this place to see this tragedy. If you have made me a spectator, why do you have to give Pamela that power so that she can see me and know me. Answer me, why the hell is that?"

"Because, I want you to understand, what is your heart's true desire?"

Letting Hiko drag himself to vent the pain in his heart, a flat smile appeared on the face of the High Elf Paladin.

"A lot of people crave power, but what is it for? Some people do it for the desire of the heart, and some people want it for the perseverance of the heart. And the reason why I brought you here to experience this spiritual world that is sealed in my memory is to make you understand why you want to gain power. And it is only through this innermost thought that you can give birth to the purest source of Light within yourself. That's what I'm here for. ”

Speaking of which, this High Elf Paladin, who had always had an indifferent smile on his face, showed a helpless look.

"It's just that I didn't expect that these changes made in order to make you feel your truer heart would have such a big impact on you. What to say, my junior. According to the words of our hometown, you are too deep into the play, it's time to wake up!"

"****!" In the face of Palladia's kind persuasion, Hiko's reaction was excited and urgent. "Do you think this is a play for me? No, this is a real tragedy that I have experienced, whether it is false or not, whether it is an illusion or not. But in my mind, little Pamela is real. Listen, you bastard, I don't care what you do. Give me strength, I'm going to get little Pamela out. No matter what it takes, I can't let her go through any more tragedy, you know?"

"No! you're too impulsive, junior. Doing so would defeat our original purpose. Shaking her head, Palladia made it clear that she didn't agree. "Everything here comes from the Light that I attach to the Message, and if I give this power to you, then the rest of the Light will not be enough to be the seed in your body. Without roots, you will not learn the power of my Light. Then, everything you have traded is in vain. Do you see what I mean?"

"I don't care about this nonsense. All I need is strength to change the power of this tragedy. ”

With a fierce wave of his arm, Hiko's resoluteness was as unshakable as steel and stubborn stones.

"What a light, what a deal. If I can't even protect a child, if I can't even do anything about the people I want to protect, the people I want to save, then what if I give me the power of God directly? I don't care about all the damn things, all I want is the present, I want to change the damn now. ”

"I don't understand, kid. Narrowing his eyes, Palladia's pupils glowed with a dazzling golden light. "It's just an illusion, the little Pamela you know is just a presence in my memory. I can tell you that her final fate is already doomed to be a tragedy. That's the reality, the reality that you can't change no matter how hard you try here. After all, this is just a world of the mind, like a dream. Once you wake up from the dream, there's nothing left. Is it really worth losing the most important part of your future for the sake of a dream?"

"It's worth it, why isn't it worth it?" Although he seemed to be a small child, Hiko showed extremely strong determination and unshakable determination. "I said, it's true to me. It doesn't matter if she's a dream or not, or if she's a character who will disappear completely when she wakes up. She has taken root in my heart and has become a memory that I will never erase. I grieve and suffer because of her. Even if it's not for her, even if it's for myself. I'm going to change everything she's been through, even if it's just in this dream. ”

"So, stop talking nonsense. Give me the strength and I'm going to save her and get her out of that damn tragedy!"

The paladin was silent. It wasn't until a long time later that he nodded.

"In that case, then I will give you this power. At the same time, you have to pay for it! Good luck, juniors. Anar'alahbelore (Quel'Salas: May the sun guide your path. )”
