Miracles have a price, but Xia Feng is ready to pay the price.

.....

Under the city of Lentinium.

"Poof!"

The crimson eyeballs were picked off by his own hands.

With that sword, he seemed to cut through the sky and the earth, separating the darkness from the light.

The sprawling city of Lentinium was split in two, and Victoria's brief Dark Ages were ended by his own hands.

.....

The hustle and bustle passed, and the blood-stained plains returned to calm.

Seeing Xia Feng lying on the ground and dying, his companions gathered around him in grief.

"Summer Breeze ....."

At this time, Vina's voice came to her ears.

Hearing this voice, Xia Feng's eyes, which had dimmed down, brightened again like a return to the light, and turned her head sideways with difficulty, and Vina's face appeared in front of her.

Looking at Vina, Xia Feng slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Vina.... Sorry for breaking your capital, hey. ”

"Summer Breeze...."

"Leave me alone, it's not over yet, you.... You still have to do, go ..... Go to the royal palace. ”

Vina looked at Xia Feng's dying appearance in a daze.

"But you..."

"Leave me alone, go, go and end everything, don't let everyone's sacrifice, white.... It's your responsibility to waste it. ”

Xia Feng's last expression was full of expectation.

Vina clenched her fists tightly, and no one could understand the torment in her heart at this moment.

"I won't let everyone die in vain, Xia Feng, don't die, wait for me, I want you to see with your own eyes the newborn Victoria, the hometown where the infected and ordinary people coexist equally."

"Yes."

Then, with a firm turn, Vena walked towards the cracked Lentinium.

No one saw it, and the moment she turned around, tears were already pouring out of her eyes.

.....

With this last sword, Xia Feng almost exhausted all his life force, but there was no trace of pain on his face.

He was laughing.

He guarded everything he wanted to protect, without any regrets, without any reluctance, and everything he regarded as a treasure was not lost.

In his blurred vision, he saw the faces of Frost Moon, Hikari, Mesa, and all of Black Feather's companions.

At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed through my mind.

The consciousness that had been blurred returned with the appearance of this picture, and became clear.

He remembered the lonely back on the city wall, and the phrase "If I can, I hope to include" echoed in his mind.

Lying on the ground, Xia Feng's already stiff fingers puffed up the last of their strength and gradually lifted up.

"Ah, Ah Guang ......"

Ah Guangyi grabbed his hand and replied excitedly.

"I'm here Brother Feng, what are you going to do, tell me, I'll do it for you!"

"Bringing people ......"

"What are you bringing people for? You say, whoever you want to cut, my ancestral grave will be lifted for him! ”

"With .... Take people to the palace ....."

.....

.....

The royal palace, inside the main hall.

The walls of the glittering gold had cracked due to the violent turmoil, and the entire hall was empty, except for the middle end, where a throne symbolized the supreme power of the empire was placed.

"Da, da......."

Vena walked towards the throne step by step, the sound of low footsteps echoing through the main hall.

On the throne, Verin watched her half-sister approach step by step with a calm face, and there was no panic in her pupils, nor unwillingness, let alone so-called resentment.

Less than 5 meters away, Vina slowly lowered the hammer from her shoulder.

"Verin, it's over, the Central Army can't resist the infected, and continuing will only increase the sacrifice."

"Yes."

"The Southern Military Region will soon attack Lentinium from the flank, and let the soldiers who swear to hold on to the last have a way out."

Vina's voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion, as if she was not negotiating, but informing.

On the other hand, Verin, who is usually calm and composed, has a rich voice at the moment.

"Vina, it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

"Met in the royal court a few months ago."

"But you didn't talk to me then, you didn't even look at me."

"The same goes for you."

Speaking of this, Verin's beautiful face showed a touch of relief.

She lifted her hand and picked up the golden flask next to her.

"Whoa!"

The wine was poured to the brim, and as she stood up, Verin walked towards Vina with her glass in hand.

"Vena, you think you won, I lost, don't you?"

"Not so."

"Heh, your idea is correct, judging from the current result, I did lose."

Vina quietly looked at Verin, who was walking towards her step by step.

"Verin, you are very smart, you have lost in cleverness, and you have lost in arrogance, after so many years, if you had already brewed the decision after your father's death, you should have killed me earlier."

"I didn't."

"You don't want to inherit the throne, or you don't want to kill me?"

"It doesn't matter."

Verin stopped, and was already standing in front of Vina, two almost identical faces within easy reach.

The difference is that one has a firm complexion and the other is relieved.

Looking at the sister who was standing in the palace hall at this time, Wei Lin raised the corners of her mouth inexplicably.

"Vena, you won, but at the same time, I also won, thank you."

"What do you mean?"

Finally, Verin's voice contained an indescribable relief.

"Vina, I've heard you're a big drinker, but unfortunately, I'm the only one to drink this glass of wine."

With that, Verin picked up her glass and drank the wine from it.

Watching Verin's drinking, for some reason, the corners of Vina's eyes twitched, but she didn't stop it.

Maybe it's a premonition.

Vina clenched her fists and closed her eyes in reluctance.

Suddenly, Vina opened her eyes violently and subconsciously stretched out her hand to Verin.

"Sister........"

In the end, Vina still couldn't hold back, and the flesh-and-blood family affection made her still shout out.

It's a pity that this glass of wine has been drunk by Verin.

.....

However, Verin, who drank her own poisoned wine, changed her face suddenly in the next second.

"Gross!"

That beautiful face instantly blushed, and then, a violent cough came out.

"Ahem, ahem, aw, aw, what is this, ahem!"

......

The entrance to the main hall of the royal palace.

Terreg had already been shut by Red Knife and the others, pressed to the ground, and gently knocked unconscious.

Sun Fugui held a wine glass in his hand and muttered with palpitations.

"Fortunately, I caught up, if the speed of my unique skill is slower, I'm afraid that the gods won't be able to save it."

Raven asked curiously.

"Brother Sun Fugui, what did you change the wine for others? Look at the choking of the child. ”

"Oh, no way, I don't have anything at hand, I took a night pot when I passed by the dormitory just now."

Seeing Wei Lin, who was retching in pain, and Vena, who was at a loss, Ah Guang, who led the team, waved his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense first, do what Brother Feng explains, kidnap people, quickly!"

Then, a group of people rushed into the temple and tied Verin up.

"Tie it tightly and keep your mouth shut."

"Mmmmmm

Soon, everyone put Verin on the sack, carried it on her body, and slipped directly through the back door of the palace.

At this moment, Terreg, who had been brought down by the Red Knife, regained some consciousness.

Verin was gone, and the bleeding Terreg finally heard a broken gong shout with all his might.

"Wuhu~! Queen Verin is dead! ”

....

A few hours later.

The soldiers of the Southern Military District, led by General Ormon, attacked Lentinium, and soon the news of Verin's death reached the Central Army, which was defending to the death.

The will collapsed, and at this point, the General Military Department of the Reich announced a total surrender.

Terra 1094 calendar, Victoria, spring.

The Victorian Dark Age, which spanned all winter, is over.

....

When Xia Feng woke up from his dream, it was already 2 months after the end of the Dark Ages.

Medical department on the second floor of the Black Feather Grill Restaurant.

When he opened his eyes on the bed, his field of vision was somewhat inexplicably narrow.

Of course, as long as people look at things with one eye, they will have this feeling, at this time he only opened his left eye, and his right eye was wrapped in white gauze.

The window on the second floor was open, and the curtain printed with floral flowers swayed gently in the wind, and Xia Feng remembered that this curtain was chosen by Nancy.

The sun was shining outside, and the soft spring breeze was blowing in from outside, and vaguely, he seemed to hear the noise of children downstairs outside.

"Ergou, will you do it?"

"Again, I've got the hang of it."

"Cut, I guess you still won't be able to catch it."

"Impossible, come again."

At this moment, it seems that a car is parked in front of the barbecue restaurant, and the sound of the door opening and closing is heard, accompanied by the lazy sound of Lapland.

"Brother ACE, what are you going to eat at noon today?"

"I bought some beef at the market and let Snow Monster Four arrange it."

The voice of the raven was heard.

"Brother ACE, did you buy sweet potatoes?"

"Bought it."

"Oh."

Listening to these familiar voices, Xia Feng on the hospital bed on the second floor felt very relieved.

After lying down for a while, his body, which was so weak that he had no strength, gradually regained his mobility, he sat up with his body propped up, and subconsciously shouted softly.

"Ah Guang, Ah ......"

A few seconds later, there was a running sound of "knock knock knock" on the stairs, and Ah Guang's long-headed one-horned head quickly came into view.

"Brother Feng, you're finally awake!"

Outside the window, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the summer breeze lying flat on the bed is smiling.

"Yes, I'm awake."

.....

After waking up, Xia Feng saw a lot of people.

For example, Hemmer who helps him check his body thoroughly, the turtle turtle who sticks and rubs his little head on his chest, Frost Moon who helps him mend his scarf with better needlework, and Mesa, who is always worried about him but is so arrogant that she doesn't want to show it too much, etc.

Finally, as Hemmer announced that his body was temporarily normal, everyone erupted in cheers.

"Yay!"

Brother ACE immediately drove to the vegetable market again, Ifrit set up a barbecue grill, and Snow Monster No. 4 rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a sumptuous dinner.

Leaving the medical department on the second floor, Xia Feng took a hot shower and changed into clean clothes.

He then went to the courtyard and followed the stairs down the stairs into the gloomy basement.

Here he met a man.

.....

"You're awake."

"Yes."

Xia Feng looked at the bed that had been simply made out in the basement.

"The conditions are a little simpler, are you still used to it?"

Verin sat on the edge of the bed in a plain cloth dress.

She didn't answer Xia Feng's question, but frowned lightly and asked what she cared about in her heart.

"Xia Feng, why did you save me, I should have died in Lentinium."

At this moment, Xia Feng's voice was very fluctuating.

"Queen Verin is dead, and now the whole Victorian Empire knows about it."

"You ......"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Verin's deep gaze finally revealed puzzlement.

"Why, why save me."

Xia Feng closed his eyes gently, and his voice was a little trance-like.

"yes, why........ Maybe it's just because you're Vina's only sister. ”
