Chapter 1044: Choice

Under the pale moonlight.

Smoke billowed and the glow of the fire burned the night.

The town was filled with shouts and screams of terror.

Gray figures rode horses, shuttling forward, and the long knives in their hands harvested innocent lives along the way from time to time, even the old and weak, women and children.

These are horse thieves.

If in previous years, with the town's defenses, it would have been difficult for horse thieves to storm the town. However, in recent years, the town has been devastated by the scourge of war, most of the young and middle-aged people have been killed and wounded, and the guards have all fled, and now they can no longer resist these horse thieves who take advantage of the fire.

Although a very small number of townspeople stood up to resist, they were quickly killed due to the limited number of liliang, and the rest of them lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

The horse thieves whistled in a strange rhythm, slashing the townspeople and looting their belongings, while firing rockets and setting fire to houses, further causing chaos. The only ones who can survive are the women who are quite attractive, these women will be taken away and become slaves to vent their sexual desires, and there is only one end in the end, which is to be brutalized to death.

In a courtyard, surrounded by fires, it was impossible to rush out, and there was a woman holding a baby inside who shouted for help, but the people outside were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one came at all.

The hot air and smoke fading the cries for help faded, and the scene made Tiffany's breathing heavier and heavier, and she burned with a strong light, trying to extinguish the flames, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.

For her, this shijie is like a phantom, but she can feel it, and it is definitely not an illusion. It's real.

Only, as a "divine messenger". More often than not, she's just a bystander, and her ability to interfere with this shijie is quite limited. In general, once a day at most, and during the day, when she was helping the wounded in another place, she had already used up this ability.

If the Tower of Faith in this vicinity hadn't been destroyed by the war, and if these townspeople still had the corresponding faith in their hearts, then she could play an extra liliang and change something, but it's a pity. After all the hardships of the past...... Faith and faith among the villagers has plummeted, leaving Tiffany to watch it happen.

Although the woman still protected the baby with her body at Zuihou's moment, she could not change her tragic fate, and Zuihou was reduced to ashes along with the entire yard.

Tiffany clenched her fist, if it wasn't for the soul body, it would have been pinched by now.

On the other side, there was the neighing of horses, and an old man was stunned, his pupils imprinted with the long knife that had swung over, flashing with the cold light of death.

Blood splattered. The head with white hair flew high, and the body that had lost its head slowly softened, and several horse thieves laughed and continued to gallop forward, and soon. They find a new target, a couple who have run away with several children.

The horse thief in front fixed his mount and drew his bow and arrow from behind. Aimed at one of the children who was running at the front.

At this moment, a little golden light fell from the sky. The golden light instantly illuminated the town, and everywhere the golden light went. The fires were extinguished, and the town's injured residents began to slowly recover.

The townsfolk were in high spirits and chanted miracles, and with a special liliang in their spirits, some of the brave men began to rise up and resist, taking up clubs, axes, forks, or throwing incendiary objects, and soon more and more people joined the ranks. The horse thieves immediately panicked, many horse thieves because the horse was frightened or attacked directly knocked off the horse, and some were thrown by the incendiary object, all on fire, under the unity of the city, most of the horse thieves were killed, only a few people fled in embarrassment.

Listening to the cheers of the townspeople, Tiffany finally let go of her hanging heart and glanced gratefully at Veronica who appeared beside her.

Veronica smiled softly at her: "Actually, you should know that I am similar to you, and the liliang that can be played is quite limited, and the reason why these people can defeat the enemy is more dependent on their own liliang." There is faith, there is hope, there is liliang. ”

Tiffany nodded silently as if she had realized, and Veronica gently took her hand: "Time is running out, we should go." ”

Tiffany's grip trembled slightly, looking at Veronica's encouraging eyes, but she didn't break free, and the figures of the two gradually dimmed, and then disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, I don't know how much space I have traversed, and after a while, the stars have shifted, and I have returned to the Star God Temple.

Today, it's Zuihou day. Veronica asked, looking at the towering Tower of Faith.

"Yes. Although she didn't say much, in front of Veronica, Tiffany was no longer silent.

"I don't want to say anything superfluous, but I hope that you can look directly into your heart and make Zuihou's choice. ”

Tiffany nodded, even though she was much older than Veronica, she was like a child in need of care in front of Veronica.

Veronica also feels this way, in fact, when she first brought Tiffany into a planet as a "divine messenger", she has been observing Tiffany, observing the girl who Chen Rui said "has lost the courage to live".

On that planet, they happened to witness a great natural disaster, countless people were tormented in pain, despair, famine, and mourning, and it was impossible to describe the extreme misery in words or words.

Tiffany had just watched quietly, but the scene was so shocking that tears finally poured out uncontrollably when she saw her parents change their children.

Tiffany then silently follows Veronica and learns to use her limited liliang to inspire and help the victims.

Veronica is very pleased with this, because some people in despair, when they see the pain and despair of others, their own pain will be soothed in comparison, and they will even try to create other people's pain to try to alleviate their own pain.

Veronica herself had such a personal experience back then, fortunately. This girl still retains a glimmer of sunshine in her heart, even if she has fallen into the abyss of despair. It's like, she was at the beginning.

Compared to the many tribulations witnessed. Some experiences are actually nothing, just like the flame of life in the universe, just fleeting.

To live is in itself a kind of moving and meaningful, even if it is only for a moment.

Life is so short, but it is so long, from birth to growth to death, there will be countless joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and each stage will have different feelings, feelings, and perceptions.

Absolutes today. In the eyes of tomorrow, it may be just a relative, as long as there is faith and hope, it will come out of the haze again.

Under Veronica's tutelage, Tiffany mastered the art of wielding the power of the Divine Powers and uttered the first word, Xiexie.

In the days that followed, Tiffany seemed to put aside the pain in her heart and just devoted herself to the work of the "messenger of God". Spread faith and support the weak.

Veronica knew that she was only temporarily "forgotten" and could not really let go. But she believes that in the process of helping others build hope, her heart will truly touch hope. It was a successful start.

After two days of Zuihou, Tiffany and Veronica, who had fully mastered the power of the divine oracle, went their separate ways. However, due to lack of experience, for the limited liliang allocation aspect. Tiffany is still lacking, so the scene just now happened.

"Veronica ......"

"Huh?"

"What if a person loses their purpose in life?"

"I've lost too, but losing doesn't mean everything, and it doesn't mean losing everything. There are some things that don't belong to you, and maybe you should be thankful...... My experience is that I stretch my mind to find a more important purpose in life, and then learn to let go of some of my past losses. ”

"En......"

Veronica and Tiffany talked as they walked, walking hand in hand towards the main hall of the Star Temple, just in time to see Chen Rui appear at the door.

"Chen Rui, you came on time. ”

"It's not that I'm in time, it's that her body can't wait any longer. Chen Rui's gaze swept over the hands held by the two of them, and he smiled: "I'm very happy to see some gratifying changes." Alright, Tiffany, it's Zuihou's time. Before you make a decision, let me state that as a friend, uh, maybe this friend is just wishful thinking on my part...... But, no matter what, I will respect your choice. ”

Tiffany lowered her head, her lips moved, and finally spoke, "What if, I want to stay here?"

"Then you will lose the opportunity to leave forever. ”

Tiffany looked up, "What can I bring you if I leave here?"

Veronica smiled slightly, it seems that a certain "friend" is not wishful thinking.

"I believe you also knew some things before, to be precise, you will become the empress of the Bloody Empire, and ......" Chen Rui shrugged, "will be my wife, this is the condition of the Triple Alliance, I'm sorry, to put it bluntly, this is a political marriage." ”

Tiffany fell silent and didn't speak again.

"I think she still wants to stay. Veronica said something that Chen Rui didn't expect, "Because staying can allow her to regain the meaning of her life." ”

Tiffany nodded, but listened to Veronica's tone change: "It's just that, Tiffany, have you thought about it, as oracles, we can play liliang is quite limited, what if it is as an empress?"

Tiffany was shocked, and there was a sudden glint in her eyes.

"What's more, you're not just alone, although I can't help you, I'll always be by your side," Veronica shook her hand and looked at Chen Rui, "And your friend, I'm not the only one." You'll take care of and love her, won't you? ”

"I promise. ”

The tone of these three words was extremely solemn, and Tiffany couldn't help but think of the deepest scene in her heart, the outstretched hand, the sentence "Come with me".

Seeing the man reach out to her again, Tiffany's heart involuntarily quickened a little, as if some of the scenes in her memories overlapped.

Slowly, the hesitant fingertips finally touched the warmth, and the consciousness suddenly became hazy. (To be continued......)
