Liddy had a dream. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He had read about the mages' research on "nothingness" in a book, and the article didn't attract much attention to him, except for the word "loneliness". Just like now.

He was in a world surrounded by white light, like white paper, without any color. You don't find it glaring, you don't find it scary, just a sense of loneliness rooted in your heart. There was nothing but whiteness, and he didn't even know if he existed. It was as if he were part of this light, and it called him to merge into him, to be white, to be a blank sheet of paper.

He almost answered the request of the white light, and felt that consciousness was beginning to drain and was turning into a blank sheet of paper. Countless sights flew in front of him, women's smiles, men's glares, swords, screams, blood, and white mist. These scenes pierced his heart, but they were quickly withdrawn, as if they were just passing scenery, forgotten by him with distance, and ceased to exist.

Let go of the past and become a blank slate.

A voice whispered in his head, drawing out more visions. He saw the sun, which hung high in the sky, banishing the darkness around him. The sun took shape, reflected in shields, embedded in armor, held against monsters, shouted for the light. These are like clouds of the past, and they disappear in the white light, as if they never existed.

Let go of the past and become a blank slate.

He saw a face, with vigorous hair, a sparkle of sun in his eyes, and blonde hair like a lion. There was also a man who looked like a docile domestic cat at first glance, but had cheetah-like eyes. They are always smiling and have the imprint of the sun on their chests. He saw the two men raise their swords, their swords intertwined, pointing straight at the sun.

That's not right, there's something missing. He told himself, only to find that the image was fading away from him. The two people in the picture are motionless, looking ahead, as if waiting for something. He muttered to himself, only to find that the two were getting farther and farther away from him.

Let go of the past and become a blank slate.

The voice continued. Liddy ignored it, and subconsciously, he stepped forward and chased after the two men. He couldn't remember their names, or their faces. Maybe he just wanted to find out, just to see the sword in their hand. He ran like a light, chasing the two who were far away.

He's getting faster and closer.

Phoenix.

Roderick.

He gradually remembered the names of the two of them, the faces of the two of them. He understood what was missing. A sword, a sword that belongs to him.

Let go of the past and become a blank slate.

The voice seemed agitated, and he ignored it.

I can't be a blank slate, I still have a lot to do. He told the voice, but heard only a roar of rage. In the white light, a crack appeared. Darkness poured in like a flood through the cracks and began to devour the light.

Darkness is hidden under the light. He suddenly remembered this sentence, you are not light, but the foolish tooth of darkness.

Darkness will swallow everything, leaving only silence and loneliness. So it says in the book. However, he was not afraid, because darkness could not swallow the sun. He reached to his waist and grasped the hilt of his sword engraved with the sun. The familiar feeling returned to his body, gentle and warm, like the light of the sun.

The blade was unsheathed, and light burst out and filled his world.

He snapped open his eyes and smelled a burst of jasmine.

"Are you awake?" a familiar voice sounded beside him. Liddy shifted his limbs and found himself on a solid stone bed.

Emilia ...... It's nice to wake up and see you. Liddy struggled to sit up, his head groggy, and the dream made him uncomfortable. He looked overhead and saw a stone pillar that shimmered with purple shimmer.

"Me too, Mr. Liddy. The silver-haired girl turned around, and Liddy noticed that her eyes were red.

"What's wrong with you, Amilia?" he asked, puzzled, and then thought of the unresponsive paladin Phoenix. "Phoenix...... Did he bully you?"

"Sort of. She took a warm, damp towel and put it on Lydy's forehead. "This makes you feel better. ”

"Thanks," he said with a smile, "what about Phoenix, call him here, I have to teach him a lesson, and actually bully our beautiful young lady......"

"He's dead. ”

A cold wind blew, and the smile on the face of the high-ranking knight Lidi froze. "What's going on? It's not funny......

"As I said, Phoenix is dead. ”

"Hey, how is that possible?" he didn't believe and struggled to get out of bed, but he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, "Hmm...... This can't be, who did it?" he thought that no one in this world could kill Paladin Phoenix.

"Me. ”

"What......"

"I did it, I killed Phoenix with my own hands and stabbed the dagger in his back. Emilia stroked her hair and said softly, as if it were none of her business. "I assure you, he only had a moment of pain. ”

The high-ranking knight was stunned, he looked at the girl in front of him who exuded the scent of jasmine, feeling familiar and unfamiliar. He suddenly remembered a man, Aredia, the man who called herself Emilia's sister. He remembered that he followed her words and went to the abandoned factory, but was ambushed and attacked, unconscious. Before losing consciousness, he smelled roses.

"Iredia....... That's your sister?"

"That's right. The girl nodded in acknowledgement, "I'll lure Phoenix away from the headquarters and divide you so that my sister can carry out her plan." It turns out that we succeeded, my sister managed to capture you and your men, and killed almost all of Luvin's Sun Knights......" She looked at Liddy with a sad expression.

It all sounds like a fantasy, but it's so real. Amilia's grief is so real that he can only accept this harsh reality. But he is alive, and as a knight of the sun, he is obliged to avenge his compatriots.

"What are you?" he asked.

"It's not you, Lydy. It should be us. Emilia sat down beside him, took his palm, and held it up to the two of them, "We are unfortunate children, monsters in the mouth of men, and children of the god of the white mist. ”

Emilia whispered, and a white mist rose from Lydy's pale palm, floating in the air. He could feel the white mist coming from within him.

"What have you done to me......" he whispered, a nameless fear rising in his heart.

"Sister...... Aredia has injected some special potions into your body, plus some magic. Emilia lowered her hand, "This can turn ordinary people into our fellow citizens, though more often than not." ”

"Are you creating fog beasts?" Liddy was taken aback and remembered the words of the fog chaser, "The people who disappeared from Lu Wen are all good deeds done by you?"

"No, Lydy, no. Emilia shook her head, "We hate fog beasts just as much as we do humans. We are eroded by the fog, but we still have reason. This is us, the people of the fog. What my sister wants to add is a companion, not a monster. ”

"Of course, sacrifice is inevitable. Emilia continued, "Most people can't stand the brutal process and die. There are also people who survive, but become irrational monsters. For this, we will cut off their heads and pay tribute to their deaths. After many failures, my sister thinks that strong-willed people are easier to convert, so she has set her sights on you, Sun Knight. ”

"What a bunch of crazy people...... Liddy muttered, all of which he couldn't imagine. "As you say, she achieved her goal and captured us. But why kill Phoenix again......"

"Because of me. ”

"You?"

"Phoenix lied to me, he gave me a lie that was too good. The sister exposed it and demanded atonement for him and his knights...... Although it was me who was the last killer. ”

"Deception, Phoenix is truly in love with you......"

"That's when he doesn't know what I am. "He said in front of everybody, 'Kill me, kill me monsters.'" ”

"This can't be ......" Liddy cupped his forehead, feeling dizzy.

"It seems that you should care more about yourself than the deceased. ”

"What do you mean?"

"As I said, you made it through the conversion and became one of us. The mist rose beside Emilia, enveloping her, and then dispersed, leaving only a blank space. "But do you really want to join us? We haven't forgotten that you are a member of the Sun Knights, a mortal enemy of our Order. Amilia's voice echoed through the air.

"The Order?"

"That's right, that's us. According to the doctrine, we should kill everyone who threatens the Order, that is, you, the Sun Knights. The voice in the air was cold and merciless, and it was no longer the girl he knew, "But the doctrine also stipulates that we must not harm our compatriots, and we must not hurt you, who are also the people of the White Mist." So, rarely, the decision is yours. You can leave, return to your Order, and become our enemy once again, so that we can justifiably crusade against you. ”

"If they're going to accept a monster?" said Liddy coldly.

"Yes, it can't be. "Or join us and become our fellow citizens and fight together to save those who are still living in the shadows." It's not much different from your previous job, it's just a change of people......"

And that means fighting each other with your past partners. Your god of white mist is cruel. ”

"That's right, Lydy. Emilia reappeared, right in front of him, her eyes cold. "This is our cruel fate, not accepted, feared, hated. What have we done wrong? Just a little white fog and deserve to be treated like a monster? You are a person who lives under the sun, and you can't understand us in the dark. ”

"That's ...... before," he smiled bitterly.

Emilia shook her head, turned her back, and said, "Of course, you have another way. Incognito, disguised as an ordinary person, trying to live an ordinary life. If so, we will not be your enemy. ”

"Sounds good. ”

"Maybe. But Liddy. Before you make your choice, I hope you can come with me to see who lives here and what we are doing. After that, it's never too late to make a choice. Come with me, Lydy. Take a good look at what kind of cruel fate we are carrying, and how we survive. ”

She said this with a resolute expression, like a majestic queen.
