Chapter 343: A Moment for Two

It's the third day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuren looked up, glanced at the mechanism in front of him, and then frowned.
Although he has long known that things are not so simple, but in fact it is really not that simple, originally Yu Lian's plan was to find the device that communicated with the spirit of Mana at the beginning, and then activate it, summon the spirit of Mana and then let it send himself and others back to the original world, but when the device was opened, Yu Lian helplessly found that it had been damaged, and as a result, in desperation, Yu Lian had to do the work of repairing. Although time here tends to stand still indefinitely, it has to be said that it is really very difficult to repair this delicate instrument -- fortunately, the core is still functioning normally, and only a few connection points are broken, and it can be used as long as it is repaired, otherwise You Lian may really not even have a place to cry.
And at this moment, not far from his side, Lintillot was holding her cheeks with her hands, curiously and intently watching Yulian's every move, this Royal Highness has been doing this since three days ago, unless Youlian goes to sleep and eat, she usually follows Yulian's side like this, and then stares at him silently, I don't know what this Royal Highness is thinking.
I said......... Aren't you tired?"
Feeling the interested gaze behind him, Yulian sighed, picked up a pair of pliers casually, and then spoke.
"Hmm, I'm not tired, I didn't do anything anyway. ”
Lintillot's answer was very lighthearted, and there was nothing strange about it. Or maybe that's what's weird.
"Then why do you keep looking at me?"
"Because you're the only one alive here, Mr. Yuren, aren't you?"
This is the end of the conversation.
In fact, at first, Lintillot was a little worried that someone would come looking for them, but Yulian told her that even if they did, it would be useless. Because the city is the only remaining Manna seal, those of them who have Manna in their own bodies can say that those guys outside have no ability to consume Manna in their bodies after so many years of "degradation", so if they rush in stupidly, it will immediately explode directly like a ball that has been infused with anger, so there is no need to worry about it at all. After that, Her Royal Highness found that she didn't seem to have much to do, so following Yulian all day long became her main subject.
However, unlike the others, Her Royal Highness just sat by and watched, she didn't speak, she didn't take the initiative to disturb Yulian, she just observed her with interest, and she didn't know where Her Royal Highness got so much spirit...... But then again......... "Isn't it fun?"
"Huh?"
"Is it fun to stare at me?"
"Of course it's interesting, Mr. Yuren. ”
The answer was very quick and not the slightest perfunctory.
"Sometimes I really can't understand what women think. ”
Hearing Lintilott's answer, Julien sighed and shook his head.
"But then again, there's a woman who's done it before, and frankly, I don't think it's funny at all, but she likes it. ”
"Is it Mr. Yuren's woman?"
Hearing this, Lintilott's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Let's just put it that way. ”
Yulian nodded, he put down the pliers, and after making sure that the parts in front of him were connected, he continued to speak as he began the rest of his work.
"That was about seventy or eighty years ago......... At that time, the Knights of the Final Rite received a request for help from a small country, which was about to be annexed by a large country, and it was considered that they were in a hurry to seek medical treatment, so they came to us, and for me, it was never a question of position or anything, as long as that country could pay me enough to satisfy me, then we didn't mind helping them resist the invasion. But that country is really very poor, asking for money and no money, no land, and it is still in the north of the poor land, that kind of ghost place is to let me be the king, I am not sensitive, in the end there is really no way, I gave them a 20% discount, let the king give me his daughter, of course, he is not very happy, but in the end he agreed to my request. ”
"It's too much. ”
Although it was an accusation, Lintilott's leisurely voice did not sound the slightest hint of anger.
"There's no way around that, after all, we're also working hard, who would do the day job if we don't get paid? ”
"Weird?"
"That's right. ”
Yuren nodded, and he glanced up at the ceiling, as if he was remembering something.
"That guy is not as smart as you, she can't do such a thing as managing the country, to put it bluntly, it's just a greenhouse flower, or a fungus. But then again, it was very strange to meet her for the first time at that time, and if a woman encounters such a request, not to mention anger, it is always a little painful and sad. Even if there is dedication, it is impossible to accept it all. But the woman's reaction was very unexpected to me, and frankly, I have hugged many women, and this is the first time that it has been so weird......... Well......... I didn't know what to say, but it was completely different from what I expected, and when I asked after that, she gave me an answer that I couldn't understand at all. ”
"What answer?"
She said...... 'Now that the matter has been decided, I will try my best to fall in love with you, and I hope that you will tell me that you love me.......' To be honest, I was really surprised when I heard this, after all, love is not homework and swordsmanship, you can get it by working hard, and I'm sorry, frankly speaking, I didn't have any love for her at that time, it was just a reward for paying the bill, just to keep myself from suffering a loss, so I don't care if she loves me or not, as long as she doesn't make trouble for me. ”
Saying this, the corners of You Lian's mouth curled slightly, revealing a wry smile.
"After that, the guy used to follow me, staring at me from a distance, and I couldn't figure out what she was thinking. ”
"And then?"
Hearing this, Lintillot blinked, and then asked curiously.
"And then? no more. ”
Hearing her inquiry, Yuren shrugged his shoulders.
"After that, I went on to carry out other commissions, and she didn't play a role on the battlefield anyway, so I left her in the royal city, but after that......... I had an accident and hung up, so that's the end of it...... Looking back now, after so many years, I'm afraid she is no longer alive. ”
At this, Julien sighed and buried her head again to go about her work, and Lintillot stopped talking, just quietly watching Julien's back, and after a moment, she broke the silence.
"So, Mr. Yuren, do you love her?"
"Who knows. ”
Julien didn't answer Lintilott's question head-on.
It's just that it was very comfortable to stay by her side at that time, after all, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to think about anything, you just have to enjoy your time leisurely......... Frankly, I don't hate that feeling. ”
"That's right............"
Lintilott's eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth curled upward, and a gentle smile appeared.
"But then again............"
At this time, Yu Lian suddenly changed the topic.
"How could you hold my sword?"
"Huh?"
"Don't play dumb, that sword in your hand was once used by me, where did you get it? ”
In fact, this is also the reason why Yuren and Lintillot will travel through space, you know, Yuren's ability is "unique", and his weapons naturally contain this power. The long sword in Lintilott's hand came from the former Yuren, and naturally contained his strength. And it is precisely because of this that when two identical "unique" forces collide with each other, because they distort the law of "unique surname", they will break the barrier of space and do so many things. And Yu Lian also calculated a lot, and he didn't expect that someone would still use the tattered long sword he left, although he had a resonant reaction when he was in the royal city of Orrut before, but at that time, Yu Lian thought that the person holding this sword was probably some low-level member of the Sith Empire, and he never thought that a princess would actually hold this broken copper and iron as a treasure.
"Ahh.........h
Hearing Julien's inquiry, Lintilott's eyes widened, and she spun around, then stuck out her tongue slightly.
"It was given to me a long time ago, saying that the legendary sword of the head of the Knights of the Last Frontier can bring good luck, so I have always kept it by my side, but in fact, it has brought me a lot of luck, right?"
"I thought that as Her Royal Highness, your aesthetic level would be a little higher. ”
"Since you are a royal family, you naturally have to be a maverick, and the same aesthetic standard as those ordinary nobles is not elegant. ”
"So you're just going back to basics?"
"Huh, what?"
"It's nothing, if you don't understand........."
During the time he spent with Lintilot, Yulian also noticed that the behavior of Her Royal Highness was really different from what he imagined. Judging from the previous confrontation between the two and the intelligence collected by Charlotte, this highness of the Silver King should be the kind of person who is brave and resourceful, kind-hearted, determined and able to make decisive judgments, has outstanding talents in military and political aspects, and is worried about the country and the people. But after getting along for the past few days, Yulian felt that the impression in his mind seemed to be about to take a 180-degree turn, after all, the relationship between the two was not good, Yulian killed a lot of Sith soldiers, and Sidwi, who was like a sister to her, was seriously injured by Yulian in front of her, and the respected general Nahias of Her Royal Highness also lost an arm herself, and she led the Knights of the Last Yan to take back all the land she had worked so hard to occupy. If you change someone else, not to mention gritting your teeth, you should at least react coldly. Although at first it could be said that they cooperated sincerely because of the bad situation, but now that two or three days have passed, there is no pressure enough to keep them together after all, and any complaints and hatred should have been reflected a long time ago.
But No, she didn't mention those things at all, and from her expression, Yulian had a strange feeling that she didn't seem to care about those things at all, including Sidwig, Nahias's injury, the fiasco of the Sith army, etc., and so on, and her Royal Highness didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
What did she think?
Yu Lian once again confirmed that he really couldn't understand a woman's thoughts, but that didn't mean he wouldn't ask.
"Then again, you don't hate me?"
"Hate?"
Lintillot looked up in some surprise and looked at Julien.
"Mr. Yuren, why should I hate you?"
"I can't find a reason why you don't hate me. ”
"That's ............ too"
Hearing Julien's answer, Lintillot smiled awkwardly, but quickly disappeared from her face.
"Actually, I'm indeed a little unwilling, but this unwillingness is nothing, and besides, conquering the continent was not my idea, but my father's will, so the result is success or failure, in fact, I don't really care. ”
If the people of the Sith Empire heard that their beloved Royal Highness had this attitude towards this war, I don't know if those people would faint on the spot. In fact, even You Lian himself couldn't help but be surprised, he really didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the princess would have no "sense of responsibility" than he thought. Did she really not care about any of this? Although it was the will of the Sith Emperor, it was she who completed it. It's like writing homework, although students hate it, but if the finished homework is torn up, then they will still hate it very much.
I really don't understand her thoughts.
Thinking of this, Yulian shook his head helplessly, and then he installed the last piece of circuit, then stood up and closed the lid.
"Fixed?"
"Try it. ”
Answering Lintillot's inquiry without looking back, Julien raised his hand and stared at the instrument dial and buttons in front of him, and then he reached out and pressed it on one of the bright red buttons.
“――――!!!”
A low thud rang out.
Lintillot felt a roar like rolling thunder coming from under his feet, and then spread out in all directions, the ground shook slightly, trembled, and a trace of dust fell, which even gave Lintillot the illusion that the city they were in was actually a sleeping, living life, it had been sleeping until it slowly woke up just now, and he and the others were standing in its belly, life and death were unknown.
Thinking of this, Lintillot couldn't help but tremble, she subconsciously walked behind Yulian and stretched out her hand, but after hesitating for a moment, she put it down again.
At this moment, the lights began to flicker, and then disappeared completely, and with the disappearance of the lights, the sound of rolling thunder just now also stopped completely, and there was silence and darkness.
Then, a faint blue light appeared.
Thinking she was wrong, Lintillot blinked, but soon realized that she was not wrong.
A blue dot hovered quietly on a platform not far in front of Yuren, a circular platform with a glass barrier wrapped around it, which, according to Yuren, was the product of compressing and condensing Mana, but until now, it had become a summoning device.
The mana around her is getting thicker and thicker.
As a gifted knight, Lyntilott was of course keenly aware of the flow of Mana, and now, she could feel that countless Mana was converging, condensing, and merging together from under her feet, as if they had some kind of autonomous consciousness, as if they were attracted by something.
Soon, the blue point of light grew larger and larger, turning into a ball of light, and then, it began to twist and elongate, as if it were mud, and soon, a clear human figure appeared in front of the two of them, the convex figure looked like a woman, and even had a light blue, shiny long hair. But the only difference from humans is that its face does not have five senses, so it cannot perceive its expression. But even so, Lintillot felt as if she could sense the other person's emotions, a change that was so subtle that it was difficult to explain in words. But for some reason, she just knew it very well, because at this moment, Lintillot could clearly feel that the spirit of Mana seemed to be a little anxious.
This is the Spirit of Mana, the Will of Mana?
And just as Lintillot was thinking about this, Yulian had already stepped forward.
"I need your help. ”
Then, he and the other party spoke almost at the same time, and then, Yulian was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately became serious.
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes, there was a little bit of a problem. ”
It was the first time that Lintillot had heard the voice of the Spirit of Mana, and it seemed to be a mixture of many voices, old and young, male and female, but it sounded very comfortable, pleasant, and reassuring.
The blue figure nodded in response to Julien's inquiry, and then it turned its head as if to look around.
"How did you end up here?"
"There was a little bit of a problem. ”
Yulian smiled bitterly and gave the other party the same answer, but he quickly restrained his expression.
"So, let's talk about your problem first. ”
"Okay. ”
The Spirit of Manna did not refuse Yuren's proposal, it nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"They're looking for a way through the cracks, and I think they've found it. ”
Hearing this, You Lian's face changed slightly.
