The Tree of Life is slowly waking up, breathing in a refreshing breeze that dispels the dust. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info seed slowly falls with the breeze and takes root on the ground.

The sea breeze blows across the adventurer's face, and the splash of the waterfall is very popular with the two little girls, Lucy and Sissi, who laugh and play in the sea.

Cisna thought about it, but still didn't change into her swimsuit.

"I'll change it when it's bigger. That's what she told Wood.

Wood said that he couldn't help this eldest lady, so he could only follow her. Lying on the beach, your face blown by the sea breeze, and the blue sky and the sun reflected in your pupils.

"Looking at the sky, I thought of Fairy Tale City, the people and cheers in Fairy Tale City, and the little cubs at home. He held out his hand, as if trying to touch the sky.

"It's been almost half a year since I went out this time, and I've been at sea for so long. Joss sat by the sea, and as Wood spoke of Fairytale City, he also looked up at the sky.

"I don't know what the current fairy tale city has become. It took him a moment before he uttered the slightly sad words.

"I have a little servant, and she may have been in Fairy Tale City for half a year. When I go back, I ask her to write a reflection of tens of thousands of words, one for each person at that time. Wood laughed again as soon as he remembered some lovely Alice and those things.

This beautiful girl has also become different from the beginning.

"That little servant of yours is afraid that he will cry to you and accuse you of abusing her. Klaus said as he ate, knowing that the servant was Alice.

"Don't you think she's a little clever, and every time she reveals it, she's cute. Wood came to his senses and got up to discuss with Klaus.

"Do you know what an old artist is? Seriously, I've never seen such a good acting woman in my life, and if you hadn't reminded me that your little servant is a very good actress at the beginning, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by her. ”

"What are you being deceived by her?

"Nope. Klaus shook his head, his smile meaningful, "Do you know why she has become the boss of the reserve regiment? ”

Wood was as dazed as a child, and could only shake his head in waves.

"Alas, these days, in the face of powerful and tiger-skinned bigwigs, those little ghosts really dare not provoke. Klaus sighed and laughed, for he also found it amusing. "Cecilia is a very low-key type who wants to prove herself with hard work. And Alice......"

He took a deep breath, "Anyway, it's rumored that Alice is the favorite of the Captain of the Crown of Thorns!"

Which one is your favorite?

I?

"Really?" Wood reacted with a shocked expression, "I swear to my nakedness, I really haven't touched Alice!" Feeling the angry gaze nearby, he hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't matter if you have touched it or not, the important thing is that everyone believes it. Klaus was admiring Wood's expression, his regimental leader hadn't been so panicked in a long time. "The main thing I admire is that Alice obviously didn't say much about your 'relationship', but for some reason, the rumor is a bit noisy. ”

Looking Klaus in the eye, Wood knew the thing was saying, "I believe it all."

"For the sake of the Commander's honor, I warn you that you are not allowed to spread such nonsense rumors again!" Wood took a sip of water and immediately got up, righteously speaking!

"Coincidentally. Klaus got up and patted him on the shoulder, "Alice told us a long time ago to stop spreading these rumors. He suddenly grabbed Maika, and Maika's expression was flushed, like a delicate little girl.

"'The head of the regiment really has nothing to do with me,' something like that. ”

Wood was imitated by McCa, and goosebumps rose from imitation. He hurriedly shook his head, thinking for a long time but could only sigh.

"Accept your fate, your reputation for romance has spread. Maika patted him on the shoulder with a serious look.

"Forget it, let's wear this tiger skin for this beautiful girl. Wood smiled calmly, it didn't matter if the reputation or anything was gone.

Anyway, most of the male adventurers are lower-body animals, and there is no way to be misunderstood by everyone.

Maika paused suddenly, then leaned closer to Wood's ear. Wood shuddered and stepped back. But Meka finally left a word in his ear.

"Captain, sooner or later, you will find that the current reserve is nonsense, and the woman in bed is the most cherished. With that, Maika looked at Wood deeply like a senior, put down a "goodbye" and turned away.

Wood rubbed his cheeks with a wry smile. He felt that the sea breeze today was particularly noisy.

......

After a small episode, everyone rested for a day and looked back a few times reluctantly, and then left the sea tribe habitat.

"Are the sirens really pretty?" asked the inquisitive Lucy, holding Wood's hand on the way, looking excited.

Wood nodded, and he only described to Lucy the siren who flew to the sun at the last moment.

"Daddy, do you like the siren's long navy blue hair, or Lucy's long jet black hair?"

Wood thought for a moment, then replied, "I like both."

Lucy nodded seriously, and then ran to play with Sissi, looking at the back, she should be quite satisfied with this answer.

"Strange, there's no singing, where should we go next?" said Fay, who flew over to Wood's side and asked the head of the regiment what he meant.

"Go to the human settlements in the heart of the ruins, and we'll meet the elves and the sea...... "Wood said as he pondered, "and at first, we heard the song of the sirens on the sea. In legend, the upper body of the siren is human, the lower body is a fishtail, that is, the sea tribe, and finally it is composed of elven wings. ”

"I know, if that's Angel's tip to someone from her hometown. That means that there are three races in this city: elves, sea tribes, and humans. Klaus, the head of IQ, quickly picked up the topic. "Now only humans are left who don't get up. ”

"Are you going to kill your own kind?" Sissot said with a mixed smile, "It's okay if they still have ugly corpses, but this damn place, if we put a dull but different face in front of us, can we do it?"

There was a slight silence before Wood took two steps forward, pointing to the cloud. "Catherine, break through this last piece of black air. It's a bit far away, can you do it?"

Catherine walked quickly over to Wood and nodded heavily. "Maybe it didn't work before, but now Catherine is a master mage, no problem!"

Wood smiled, and took two steps back, leaving it to the witch-sama to perform.

The feeling of death gripped every adventurer's heart, and the dark blue flames slowly dispersed, cold enough to strangle all life.

Catherine's golden eyes tinged with a hint of blue, as if this was the entrance to the Netherworld.

......

Catherine didn't know if it was night or day, she didn't want to open the curtains anyway, she just wanted to stay in this bed and continue to sleep.

In the dream, there is the temperature of the master, the smile of the master, every word that the master says to her. And the feeling of excitement in her heart when the owner hugged her.

"Good night, host. She smiled and held out her hand, caressing the air as if she were caressing her master's face.

When she closed her eyes again, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

I don't know how much time passed, and she tried to sleep again and again, but in the end she couldn't beat hunger and too much sleep.

She staggered out of the room, the sudden sunlight sweeping over her pale body. She clutched her head in pain and crouched on the ground crying like a madman.

The moment she was exposed to the sun, she knew that the master was gone. He had left her forever.

She has always felt little about time lately, and she doesn't know how long she has slept and cried, she lies quietly in the doorway, letting the sun shine on her.

The sun kept brushing her face, but it didn't bring a trace of warmth, and her heart sank into the depths of the sea, trying to die with a fleeting memory.

The world without a master has nothing to do with her.

"It's time to eat. Isna came over at some point, woke her up and didn't want to open her eyes, and still had a hot breakfast? or lunch or dinner?

She moved, turning her back to the sun and Cisna, her face and most of her body in darkness.

Footsteps came from the hallway into the darkness, and she could smell the smell of the meal, and she didn't have to look at it to know that the meal was already in front of her.

She was hungry, but she had no appetite.

The footsteps didn't stop, and Essna walked farther and farther, and finally with a thud, the sun shone on her again.

She wanted to make a big noise about telling Cisna not to open the curtains, but she didn't have the strength to do so now. She could only hold her body uncomfortably, huddle into a ball, and slowly wait for death under the judgment of the sun.

"It's been a week, and you're dying. Hisna came to her and touched her hair.

I'm afraid I'm going to be a little dry now, she thought.

"Your original hair wasn't that color, but after Wood turned you into his servant, your hair became silvery-white. Cisna's words were still reaching her ears. "The gray hair at that time was really beautiful in the sun. But now, I know Wood wouldn't want to touch this kind of wilted hair. ”

"Shut up. She opened her mouth slightly, she didn't want to hear anything like that again.

"You can't command me, and you can't get your master back. ”

"I'm telling you to shut up!"

"I said, you ......"

She didn't know where she got the strength, but she suddenly got up and threw Hisna to the ground, her hand just raised, but it didn't fall again.

Although Cisna smiled, her haggard face, even if it was better than her, was too embarrassed.

It's going to be heart-wrenching.

Her strength was drained again, and she slowly fell backwards, the last voice she heard before she lost consciousness was that Heathna picked herself up and called the priest who had been on standby for a long time.

Except for the master, this woman cares about me the most.

Her body seemed to fall into the sea, and then slowly sank and continued to sink. There is no living thing in this ocean, not even the sound of water.

There was a dead silence.

She was so cold, she hugged herself in a ball again, and let herself continue to sink in the icy waters.

She knew that the terminus of this ocean was the embrace of death, so she began to laugh.

Because behind the death, maybe it is the owner's face that is smiling at her.

In the end, she fell to the bottom of the sea without pain, looking upwards, there was no sunlight but boundless darkness.

The darkness consumed her, she let death ravage her body, she was overwhelmed by the depths.

Then, the ocean vanished, and she continued to fall, looking around a little and spotting countless souls that had fallen with her.

She knew that there was the River Styx below, and she was about to die.

She smiled calmly and said sorry to Hisna in her heart. But before she could finish saying sorry, her body hung in the air.

"Hello, welcome to Styx, but you don't seem qualified to enter here. A masked boatman paddled over and whispered, "Excuse me, can you see the flowers blooming on both sides?"

She looked at it several times, then shook her head.

"yes, you can't see it, so you're not dead. The boatman, who did not know his age, said as he fished for the floating corpses, "So, please go back, only the dead can cross the river here." ”

Catherine shook her head, "I have someone to meet, so please kill me." ”

"There's no one here. The boatman shook his head, "There are only souls that will be reincarnated here, and souls that will be imprisoned forever, and nothing else." ”

"What kind of adventurer like me is?" continued Catherine.

"You don't belong because you're not dead. The boatman said no more, and the boat was full of corpses, and he began to turn the bow of the boat and row back.

"Come back...... Please, come back!" Catherine slowly rose, but the figure did not look back.

She was imprisoned at the bottom of the sea again, and she felt as if she had passed the ...... Anyway, it's been a long, long time, so long that I'm going crazy.

If it weren't for the words of her master in her heart, and those happy times, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.

When I opened my eyes, there was still only darkness here. When I closed my eyes, my body was left with coldness.

"Your body is not dead, but your soul is yearning for death. The boatman appeared again and stood before her. "That's why you've been here. ”

"Then you will fulfill me. She reached out and tried to grab the boatman.

The boatman didn't move, but Catherine couldn't catch him anyway. I saw that the boatman shook his head, and he didn't know what kind of expression was under the mask at this time.

"Seeing that you've been here for so long, our boss doesn't know what to do, maybe he just thinks you're too much of an eyesore and tells me to blast you out. ”

He took out the plank and lifted it slowly.

"There are countless ways to find death when you go back, and you can even bite your tongue and kill yourself, so please don't stay in this ocean any longer. ”

As soon as the words fell, the ship's board was already slapped on Catherine's body. She didn't feel any pain, and her body was still cold, but the scene before her was completely changed.

The boatman vanished, and the lifeless depths of the sea turned into an even more lifeless and icy sea of fire, and the Nether Flames created a path for her to the sky.

Death began to push her down the road, upwards, upwards...... Until the sun bathed her face again.

"Are you awake?" Anna reached out with a worried look as she reached out and touched her forehead.

She felt still weak and looked out the window, it was already night.

Tonight is a blood moon.

"You've been sleeping for almost a day, and you're so weak. Anna said softly, taking out the syringe and continuing to inject the potion.

Cisna walked in at this moment, saw Catherine wake up and hurried over, put down her dinner and hugged her tightly.

For a moment, she felt like her master was hugging her. She hesitated for a long time, but finally slowly reached out and hugged Hisna.

I've been in that cold ocean bed for a long time, and I'm really not used to this kind of warmth.

"Welcome back. Cisna's eyes were red as she said this, and then she picked up the porridge and slowly put the spoon to Catherine's mouth.

Catherine hesitated slightly, but still opened her mouth slightly to eat the meal, she thought that it would be better to finish herself quietly later.

"At night, you can sleep with me, okay?" said Cisna softly.

Catherine shook her head, she wanted to sleep alone.

"I've locked Wood's room, and I've put guards in it, you can't get in. ”

Catherine still shook her head, she had decided to die.

"You can't die, because Anna will be with you all this time, and I have borrowed a master assassin from Beryans to monitor it twenty-four hours a day. ”

Catherine bowed her head in silence.

Cisna hugged the girl in front of her again, trying to warm the cold heart with her own temperature.

"Wood will definitely be angry if you die like this, do you think he will pay attention to you like this over there?"

Catherine bit her lip slightly, her expression low and uncomfortable.

"Keep thinking about the person you like, even if it's just in the memory. "This not-so-long but precious memory will stay with you and me for the rest of my life, and will make us cry countless times in the night. ”

She cupped Catherine's face, letting her slowly warm eyes meet hers.

"But all of Wood's efforts have left us with only the cowardly thoughts of pain and crying and even suicide?'s life, this life of yours, this life of mine, can be said to be left ......by him," Hisna suddenly held back her tears and began to cry as well.

"Yes, it's all his credit that we're still in such pain now. I don't think though...... I don't want to confirm his death. But I know that whether he is still alive and strong in some corner of the world, or whether he has embraced death, he must have a smile. ”

Cisna burst into tears.

"Because he knows that we survived, and he knows that his efforts have not been in vain. ”

Catherine's eyes were red too, she had cried countless times, and she could cry too.

"Look at me, Catherine, look at me!" Hisna lifted her head and made her look straight into her eyes. "Your life, the capital you can still cry about now, is because he kept you alive! And twice!"

Cisna hugged her face and said words of condemnation with emotion.

"Even if so, do you still want to die? Do you still have to trample on this will, and then go to find that ethereal place of death? If so, wouldn't you die sooner!?"

It was rare to see Essna who was excited, and Anna sat on the sidelines, not even daring to come out. And she's sad too, that energetic kid is gone.

Catherine covered her face and cried strongly, for the first time in a while, she had cried out loud.

Sisna sat next to her, looking at the porridge that was gradually getting colder, and wiped her tears strongly......

Anna looked at all this, she already understood that the eldest lady had succeeded, and she was also a lot more relieved. Quietly walked to the window and looked at the blood moon outside the window, she always felt that the boy was watching all this.

Presumably, you will also be very happy, with such a reliable eldest lady and such a little servant who loves himself so much.

Anna smiled, opened her mouth and said "good night" without making a sound, and walked back to help treat the exhausted two.

For pastors, it's just a matter of putting the finishing touches on it.

Treat the body.

Some time later, on a sunny morning, Catherine donned her black mage robes and followed Hisna out into the street again. In everyone's astonishment, they entered the dungeon.

Her body is warm now, as if her owner has been hugging her. Although death had crept into her soul, she felt okay because she had stronger faith.

She's not going to be so cowardly anymore, she's going to keep going, going on and on......

The magic array rose above the witch's head, and the flames emitted were spectacular, but the silence was terrifying.

The death from the Netherworld pounded on the blasphemous death, and they were not angry, but quietly obeyed the witch's command.

Death melted into the sky, and finally slowly dissipated, allowing the sunlight to return to the land.

Catherine smiled and put away her staff, then trotted forward to grab her master's arm. The owner patted her little head, and she felt happy.

Then she turned back to see Cisna, who was observing her surroundings, and opened her mouth slightly, saying the two words that she had not been able to say with her mouth.

"Thank you. ”
