readx;? As time passed, the emotions of fear and despair began to take on substance. www.biquge.info People say that the scariest thing is not that you don't feel anything at all, but that you are told something special in a particular environment, and that this thing makes you desperate. The thing is, when will you die, the Akmund family has limited financial resources, and it is impossible to create a large barrier that envelops the entire imperial city like Elonir, let alone maintain this barrier indefinitely like Elonir.

At the current rate of attrition, at most until dawn tomorrow, this barrier will deplete the sacred crystals in the castle. When the time comes, whether you are from the Akmund family or not, whether you surrender or not, the frenzied enemy will give you a sword, which is good for them and good for you.

Such a situation was almost unbearable for the knights who were loyal to Akmund and were ready to die for it, let alone the servants and various servants who had been hired in the first place.

They had entered the Castle of the Akmund family just for a good commission to bring about the social connections they had brought from working for the Akmund family, and perhaps they had been happy about it, but no one could have imagined that things would take such a turn for the worse.

It is unbelievable that Akmund is about to fall like this.

Especially now that the enemy has surrounded the castle, and as soon as the barrier disappears, everyone here will be splattered with blood under the enemy's scimitar.

Lopez strolls along the walls of Akmund Castle as he looks out of the city.

Densely packed, the boundless enemy is like a black pressed ant, even though it is small, but it also gives people an unforgettable sense of shock.

If there are a few more black clouds in the sky at this moment, and there is a man as terrifying as the power of heaven sitting on the dark clouds, this is a replica of another Elonir offensive and defensive battle.

Lopez sat down against the base of the wall and said to Alatina, who was accompanying him, "Hey, saint, do you think your status can allow the church here to send troops?"

"Me?" Alatina, gesturing to her face, "what do you think?"

"I think so, you should be, but you're also a saint. ”

"Huh. Alatina smiled strangely, "You think a little too highly of me, I'm just a saint." ”

"What's wrong with the Holy Maiden?" Lopez puzzled, "Isn't the Holy Maiden a noble profession, the Pope came over when you went out for the first time. ”

"Well, that's right. Alatina's smile was even more eerie, and her smile now made Lopez feel as if the person she had seen before was not the same person. "I am a saint, and sainthood is indeed a noble profession, it is very important for the Church, there can only be one per generation, so every saint must be protected. ”

"In that case, they will definitely send troops to support us. "Lopez is optimistic.

"But if there is any profession in the world that is the most unfortunate, I am afraid it is the Holy Maiden. ”

"Huh?" Lopez turned his head, "what?"

"Didn't you notice that I came out?" Alatina put her hands on the battlements, and the cold wind with the smoke of gunpowder blew on her face, and the wind blew her soft hair, which looked particularly beautiful under the gloomy sky.

It's been a long time since Lopez paid close attention to her.

The emotion that had been brought to him when they first met seemed to have long since disappeared in the endless daily life and continuous troubles.

"Coming out?"

"Hmm. Alatina nodded, "Come out." ”

"Do you mean the Pope let you out with us?"

"Isn't it?" Alatina suddenly turned her head to stare at Lopez with pain and reluctance in her eyes, "Ever since I've been here with you, I don't think of myself as a saint anymore. ”

"Ah" Lopez, who didn't expect it to be this unfolding, was stunned, "Why, you are the saint of our Elonier, why not?"

"Definitely. She nodded. "Indeed, in the official sense, I am still a saint now, right. ”

She leaned her face closer to Lopez, "but that's just in the official sense." ”

"This," Lopez was speechless.

"Presumably, there must be more than a dozen candidates waiting for the news of my death in the Papal Palace right now. ”

"I think so," Lopez sighed as well.

Indeed, it is impossible for the Pope to put such an important profession outside. He had to be prepared with both hands, and his eggs could not be hung in one basket.

Perhaps, as early as the moment when Alatina willfully followed everyone to the Achia Empire, in the Pope's heart, she had already been abandoned.

"We shouldn't have brought you out. Lopez said apologetically.

"Don't blame yourself so much. Alatina smiled, "I've never regretted it. ”

"Despite where there was my childhood. ”

"There are my friends. ”

"There are my family and memories. ”

"But!" she suddenly became agitated, grabbed Lopez's shoulders, her fingers almost squeezed into Lopez's flesh, and shouted, "If I had to choose again, I would still choose to leave!"

"Why?"

"For no reason, where the high walls are, too high for me. ”

"I was like a swift longing for freedom, desperately trying to climb out of nowhere in search of a moment of freedom. ”

"And now, I've done it. Because, I met you. ”

In the past, the Papal Palace, although it was resplendent in gold, the warm holy light always shone on people's bodies and minds all the time. But for little Alatina, who has been lively and active since childhood, such an environment is still too dull. She could only see the sky like a king of spring water through the gap in the high wall, and she could not feel the boundlessness from the sky.

"Na," Alatina suddenly took Lopez's hand, "You're going to protect me, right?"

Lopez took a closer look at Alatina, and even touched her white forehead with his hand, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, did he say, "Are you okay?"

"Hmph!" Alatina stomped on him angrily, "Of course I'm not sick! I'm serious about asking you questions!"

"Oh yes," Lopez nodded, "Then I'll answer you seriously." ”

"I, Lopez, have decided to protect you since the first time we met!"

"Really?"

"Really!" Lopez nodded vigorously.

"Na" Alatina took his hand and put his hand on her chest. "You close your eyes. ”

"What are you doing with it?"

"Just close it!"

"Oh," Lopez obediently closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a cold touch was reflected on the left side of his cheek. It's as fleeting as a dragonfly, but even so, Lopez can still feel the extraordinary softness.

What exactly is this?

Lopez is unknown. (To be continued.) )
