(41) Beyond the World (Lily Nono, II)

Lily remembered the strange dreams she had along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Is it true that as Yuffie said, she was once a wolf, and the familiar and strange scenes and creatures in her dreams were companions who were forgotten along with her identity?

Before she could figure it out, Yuffie's next question caught her attention.

"Mr. Leonos." The girl seemed to hesitate, but continued, "You can find a way to save Misara and Eska...... Are they our two companions? They lost their lives in the battle with the Firedemons. She took a slow breath, looking nervous and serious, "It is said that the souls killed by the demons will fall into the abyss...... That's not what they deserve. ”

The man smiled. The broad smile was like a warm sunshine, instantly dispelling the gloom that had hovered over Lily and the hearts of everyone.

"No need to worry." "Brave children should be rewarded at all times," he said. I've protected their souls, and as for what's next, I think it's better to ask them their choice. ”

The man turned his head and whispered a few words to the floating ball of light. The golden ball of light spun around and flew quickly towards the passage on the side, and after a while, it returned to the side with two companions who seemed to be exactly the same.

"I have temporarily transformed them into the Holy Light Oracle, the origin of most of the inhabitants of the Upper Realm." Leonos said, "Now, ask them yourself. ”

"I see, thank you very much." The maiden bowed heartily to the Lord of Light and approached the two Light Oracles, "Misharah, Eskar...... Is that you? ”

The ball of light hummed slightly, and the next moment, the words from them sounded directly in the hearts of Lily and everyone.

"Well, we're good!" Eskar happily replied, "To be honest, I thought I was dead...... I didn't expect to meet you guys, I'm so lucky! ”

Yuffie nodded lightly and asked the next question, "So...... Maybe suddenly, do you want to return to your original body, or to return to your original world? ”

"Of course!" Eskar responded without hesitation, "The crisis in the forest has not been solved yet, and there is that hateful fire demon, I must take revenge for being killed by it once!" ”

That was to be expected, Lily thought to herself. Miss Naga, however, gave another answer.

"I don't have to." Misara whispered, "Once upon a time, I also existed as an oracle of the Light. Now it makes me feel like I'm going back to my childhood -- and that's not bad. I hope to continue to serve by the Lord of Light, and I can only wish you all the best in your future...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's nothing." Lin shook her head and continued, "You've helped us enough, so let's wait for our good news now!" She looked at Leonos, "Well, resurrect Escar...... How? ”

The man set his eyes on Yuffe. The pink girl lowered her head slightly, as if she understood something. She took out the pendant from her neckline, the light crystal pendant had almost exhausted its strength before, and the moment it stayed here had regained somewhat, faintly flashing with a faint light.

"What is this?" The maiden asked, "I used it to resurrect the newly dead...... But reshaping a body, with my current abilities, I'm afraid I can't do it yet. ”

"It's a fragment of the body left by the previous Edda." The Lord of Light's expression was slightly serious, "I don't know who gave it to you or how you got it. But it does allow you to do that. ”

No one interjected. Lily pricked up her ears and listened as the man continued.

"Your body is imperfect, I think you should know." He looked at Yuffie with a gentle gaze, "I was able to fuse this fragment with your body, and it could repair your body and make you an undead creature that was nearing completion. Your original abilities will be retained, and the powers associated with Edda will be even stronger. In addition, all the defects that might have affected your daily life will disappear. ”

"But it's not without risk." Leonos continued, "Hylanthia has told me that your current condition is not the result of your will, but the result of forcible work by others. I can't get in touch with Ada's current agent, and I don't know what he's going to do. Merging this fragment will bring you closer to Edda, the equivalent of committing your body and mind to the unidentified 'oracle' - it's not safe. ”

Lily vaguely understood what Leonos was trying to say, and looked at the girl with some concern. The girl didn't show any concern at all, just nodded in understanding.

"Lynn gave up her identity as a human for me, and Eskar sacrificed her life for the peace of the forest, compared to the unknowable safety of the future." She said calmly, "You can get more power, and it always helps in the current situation, doesn't it?" ”

"Your will, I already understand." Leonos nodded and approached Yuffe. The girl willingly took off the pendant and handed it to the Lord of Light.

The pendant gradually brightened in his hand, and the clear blue light scattered from the crystal, dyeing the pure white palace with a touch of blue. The metal pendant encrusted with the crystal cracked to the sides, and the crystal, or Edda, shards of the crystal slowly floated into the air. The Lord of Light turned his palm forward, and the fragment reversed direction and silently sank into Yufie's chest.

The pink girl snorted softly, crouched down with her chest clutched, her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was enduring some pain. Lynn quickly crouched down beside the girl, gently clasped her hands, and whispered encouragement to her.

Lily also tried to get closer, but Leonos turned around and stood between her and Yufie.

"Lily Nono." He called out the mercenary's name, "Have you decided to recover your memories?" ”

The mercenary frowned a little puzzled. After coming here, no one called her name. Was it because the Lord of Light had been following the Exploration Team's actions before, or had he already recognized her? - It doesn't matter, neither of them is a bad thing, she never thinks too much about it for no reason.

"Can we wait until she wakes up?" She raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Yuffie.

"It will take days for her to transform, and you may take even longer." Leonos shook his head slowly, "This is the second level of the Heavenly Hill, and the speed of time is slightly faster than that of the main material plane, so you don't have much to spare. ”

"Okay...... We get it. The mercenary touched her nose, "Then please, Leonos...... Hmm, Uncle of the Lord of Light? ”

"Just call it what you like." The man whispered, covering her forehead with a thick, warm palm, "Lily...... Or, September. ”

Lily didn't hear the last sentence clearly. She closed her eyes and felt as if she was lying on the soft lawn, bathing in the autumn afternoon sun and slowly falling into a warm sleep.
