Chapter 18: The Return

Homecoming

Roland was so tired that he rolled over and fell asleep again facing the wall.

Morrow came in with blood, and when she saw that Roland was already asleep, she was still sitting on the floor with her knees crossed, thinking about what Roland had said.

Roland's explanation is seamless, just a little, he seems to know a little too much about the bone qin, originally very few people know about the holy weapon, Roland is one of the heirs of the demon party to know the bone qin is not too much, but the tail of the qin, how did he know about such a secret and nuanced thing, and be able to guess Xitai's intentions? She shook her head and told herself that she shouldn't doubt Roland, after all, they were friends who grew up together, and they could be regarded as brothers, and she shouldn't be like this. But this matter is a complete conspiracy from beginning to end, why Eliad gave himself a bone qin, she doesn't know, and she doesn't believe that it's as simple as saving her life, and why the Xitai people want to be a bone qin, she doesn't know that she can probably guess that it may be for the preparation of recovery, this needs to go back to Ales to investigate slowly, the most strange thing is that I don't know if Eliad knows the relationship between Adler and Xitai, if Eliad knows why Adler can still stand in the demon party unharmed, I don't know how to talk to Eliad.

But at this time, Roland turned over, looked at Mo Luo sitting on the ground, and couldn't help touching her head, just like when he first saw her when he was young, she was still a 12-year-old little girl, from 12 years old to 27 years old, she just grew taller, and her appearance was still the same as when she saw her at the age of 12, and indeed fifteen years was just a flash for the long years of the blood clan, ten years at the Military Academy, ten years at the Ales Palace, and he almost never missed every day of her, In the six months in the human world, he clearly felt that Mo Luo in front of him was not the one he could control and understand.

Is it because of that person?

"Awake?" She didn't hide from his hand, apparently accustomed to such intimacy, and smiled at him, "Better?" ”

Roland nodded, his face bad.

"Drink some blood, it shouldn't be long before you reach the Demon Party." Morrow handed her the blood on the table.

"What are your plans?"

"There are a lot of things I don't understand, and I want to find out first. As for the rest, I have no plans. "Mo Luo Sheng held back the sentence of what else could I do.

"What?"

"I haven't found out about my mother." She said gloomily.

"Some things are in the past, so why do you have to be that truth?" Roland sighed, "It's not necessarily a good thing to live too clearly. ”

"Living too clearly? It's that I've lived too confused before, and now I want to know why, I want to know if my mother was really killed by Eliade, I want to know if I'm Eliade's daughter, I have to be tormented by nightmares almost every day, I don't want to go on like this, I want to know the truth, no matter how cruel, because it's my life, I can accept it, I don't want to run away from it. Her voice trembled slightly, mocking and resigned. Why did she suddenly fall from heaven to hell, or was it true that she was not Eliad's own daughter, as rumored in the palace of Ales? Or was it the fault of her mother that made Eliad so angry with her?

"Mo Luo, what are you going to do if the so-called truth you are looking for is not what you want, or if there is no truth to these things in the first place, in fact, isn't it good to let go and not think about it?" He tried to persuade her not to pursue it, and it was no good to pursue it, no matter who it was.

"No...... Roland, you don't understand that feeling, it's just that overnight, my mother died, my father changed, everything changed, but I never knew why, and I never asked Eliad why. But there are some things that can't be passed, and staying in my heart for a lifetime is a wound that can't be healed for a lifetime. Doro told me that the life of the Bloodline is so long, what is the difference between living and dying once, I never thought about running away from Eliad and leaving Ales before, I was even afraid that one day Eliad would kick me out in a fit of rage, but now it is different. She clenched her knees, her whole body shaking.

"So you've thought about never going back to the Demon Party, never going back to Ales, giving up everything and starting over with him?" Finally, the doubts are thrown.

"That's right, so even if I had the chance to contact you, I wouldn't." She admitted.

"You probably hate Ales." He sighed.

"No, I miss my ten years of teaching at the palace of Ales." But it was an unexpected answer.

"Really? It was so bitter at that time, you still miss it. He was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but sigh and can't stop recalling those ten years in his mind.

She shook her head lightly with a bitter face, "No, I can still see hope at that time, although I don't know what hope, although the adult is very strict, but at least I know that he still cares about me, and he still treats me as his...... Daughter, it's not like it's all ...... now. A tool. Probably people will be nostalgic for the past, and always feel that the old days were better than the present. ”

"It's hard to train, as long as it's required by adults, you have to do your best, but adults are really too strict, and they don't relax at all for girls." He couldn't help but scold her, remembering that her desperate training in the past could not be exchanged for half a word of praise from Eliad. remembered her loss, and also remembered the cold eyes that had no warmth to speak of

"I'm young, I'm talented, and I'm not very demanding, but I'm too stupid." Her expression was gloomy, and she habitually gave up on herself.

"Are you stupid? Isn't it too much! I'm more than a hundred and sixty years behind you, and then you're almost as strong as me now, don't you think you're insulting me? Roland almost jumped up, not expecting her to say something like that.

"Of course not, the adults are really not very demanding, you see that you do it easily every time, and I haven't been able to hold the whip firmly for two whole years." She's still humble, almost forgetting the memorable skills of her academy.

"How old are you, you were only a teenager at that time, and now you are only twenty-seven, this age is too small for the blood clan, and the requirements of adults are really high, even I can't do it easily." He couldn't help but recall that time, Eliade's demands were too harsh on himself, not to mention her as a teenager.

"Since the adults mentioned it, it must be possible." Habitually yielding, humbling, and mentioning it again only dims the look.

"Alas......" Roland looked like he couldn't do anything with her, "but the adults beat her too hard, even if the whip is over, it's still a silver whip!" Wounds don't heal. ”

"Actually, I'm also afraid of pain, especially the whip of adults." After the gloom, he entered some kind of fond memory, and shook his head as if in disbelief.

"Afraid of pain? I didn't see it at all. You don't make a sound when the silver whip is whipped at you, and sometimes you wonder if you really have unlimited endurance. He couldn't help but imagine that the pain was unbearable.

Morrow saw his disbelief, and memories came to his mind, "It wasn't like this when I was a child, when my mother was still there, I could cry for a long time when my finger was cut by a small cut on the page. ”

"Really?" Roland was even more incredulous, because in his mind, her tenacity was unmatched, and in many cases even stronger than the endurance of men.

She nodded, "It's true, I remember it very well, because I only had that injury once before I was seven." ”

Seeing the disbelief on Roland's face, she smiled lightly and continued as if some kind of indescribable mockery, "Adults used to treat me very well, I used to be spoiled by adults, and I was very willful when I was a child, adults often took me to the garden to play, and also picked irises for me, adults said that he liked blue very much, because that color was very similar to my eyes, I still remember that day my finger was cut by the page of a book, only a little blood came out, adults kissed my finger, And then said to my face, 'This book hurt my precious daughter, I'm going to bite it back.'" Now that I think about it, I was really spoiled and lawless. ”

For the first time in so many years, she brought up the past.

"So the adults took a bite of that book, too?" He asked incredulously.

"That's right." She laughed, "I remember it was a book of the Ales Covenant. "Later, the day you first met me, Eliad rewarded me with 10 lashes for not being able to carry my clans. ”

"I can't imagine adults doing that...... When it's cute. Probably all the images of Eliad in Roland's mind are cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel and decisive, and make people tremble.

"That's right." There was an invisible faint glow on her face, and she fell into the good past.

"For so many years, you've never mentioned it to me."

"Yes, because it's too ironic, and the past is too beautiful, I almost don't dare to recall, as long as I think of it, I will be weak, and I will become the princess who is willful and afraid of pain, but I am no longer the child who was spoiled and doted on by my parents back then, I am now just a tool and subordinate of adults." Her face darkened for a moment, and she regained her composure, her face unwavering, and she walked back to the harsh reality from the too good past, "Everything is different. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't always look down on yourself, adults still care about you." He also felt that his comfort was too weak, and for more than ten years, he did not feel any feelings that Eliad had for her as a father for his daughter.

"Do you know why I worked so hard, worked so hard, and said that I had to do my best? It's just that I think I was too pampered when I was a child and made adults unhappy, and if I want to make adults happy, I can only work harder, and adults will become fathers, not Lady Eliade, and I won't be kicked out of the palace in a fit of rage...... Home, completely orphaned and beggar, if that is the case, I am afraid that everything will not go back to the past, and it seems that there can still be the warmth of home in memory, but I later figured it out in the academy, I ran away with you, I slept through, and when Eliad dragged me into the office and beat me up, I think I was extravagant, everything would not be the way it used to be, and Master Eliad would never become a father. Her face was even darker, more ugly, and she smiled with difficulty, bitter and bitter, "But thanks to you." ”

"With me? I'm not as miserable as you, every time I don't do well, I'll be beaten half to death by adults, no, I may be worse than you, sometimes if I can't do well, my father can't guarantee that he won't pull me back to the Demon Banquet Alliance and beat me again. Roland naughtily stuck his tongue out at her.

"It's not thanks to Lord Roland's intercession with Lord Eliad every time, and he was beaten on my behalf." She sincerely felt that when those miserable people couldn't see the future, with Roland, the days had at least become a little faster.

"That's as it should be, the first time I saw you, I promised you to protect you." He smiled his trademark smile again, "But sometimes pleading can get worse." ”

"That's right." She returned to normal and no longer remembered the past.

"Later, I went to the academy, and I don't know how many pots I carried for you." Roland flattened his mouth, as if he was complaining about her.

"You're older than me, and taking the instructor's rattan for me will help you reform your ways." Her tone was teasing, but her eyes were no longer smiling.

"I sneaked out that night, and I think it's really bold." He still can't extricate himself from the past, "Although the instructor punished us severely, I still don't regret running to the human world that day, and the stars that day were exceptionally beautiful." ”

"Well, really, the human world is really different from Ales." She nodded, but the figure and smile of another person came to mind. She admits that there have been countless moments when he wanted to stay with Mister, but it was not something he could handle.

Roland looked at her and smiled lightly, as if he was still the child who didn't know anything about the world, his heart throbbed, thinking of the past, thinking of the present, thinking of the future, and each other was a little tacit.

"You go on to rest, I'll go for a walk."
