Chapter 43: Have you ever remembered love?
With the giant axe falling from the sky, a tall figure crashed into the sea of scarlet flowers, and No. 86 suddenly felt a darkness above his head, and was dragged backwards by a pair of big hands like iron pincers. It was the barbarian, and it was Pollus who rushed over as soon as he saw the figure tumbling in the air, cut off the demon's arm, and rescued No. 86.
The rhizomes that had penetrated into No. 86's body were instantly snapped by the barbarian's force, and as if they had broken away from their mother's body, they quickly withered, turning into jet-black rattans, and finally shattering into ashes. In the distance, the demon's roar continued, but it had become a wail before death, its struggle getting weaker and weaker, its voice getting lower and lower, and finally it suddenly collapsed among the flowers and did not move at all.
The scarlet kisses that surrounded the demon turned a deep crimson as if they had been sucked up with blood. There was a thud, and Harleye's body suddenly exploded into a mass of shredded flesh and bones, and among the remaining pieces of flesh, one of the most bewitching flowers let go in anger.
"Hastalavista, baby......" whispered as the purple flames in the skull's eye sockets twitched as he looked at the demon's final corpse.
Number 86 smiled and looked away from the flowers, looking up at the bloodied barbarian. "Thank you, Chief Guard...... If it weren't for you, I'd probably have turned into flower fat......" he said weakly, "Is the battle on the first floor over?......?
"Don't speak, just call me Pollus, you should care more about yourself," the barbarian said, moving his gaze to the bloody hole in 86's chest. Such an injury made him powerless, so he could only sigh in a low voice, "The battle on the first floor is over, most of the blood beasts have been eliminated, and there are still a few blood corpses, but the remaining ones have escaped." ”
The barbarian dragged No. 86 to the lawn outside the flower bed, trying to find him a relatively comfortable position. However, No. 86 was communicating with Mott about another question at this time, and soon. He retold the words of the skull to the barbarians. "Let's put it, don't worry...... In Burning Hell, the name represents a legacy. The Legacy represents the ...... of the Bloodline," 86 said intermittently, "The disappearance of the Bloodline will affect the minions born from it......"
The barbarian was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to quite understand the meaning of number 86. However, just as it confirmed No. 86's statement, a series of screams from blood beasts and the sound of ** explosions came out vaguely from all directions. All the minions created by the Demon of Blood and Bones were instantly blown into splatters of flesh and blood with the death of their masters, and completely disappeared from this world.
The barbarian stood up sharply and cast his gaze into the dark night, his resolute face finally showing a long-lost relaxation. By the window on the second floor, Semar leaned out of the window, his anxious eyes staring at his companion on the lawn. "Mott, tell me something!!, what's going on with Eighty-Six?!" he cried out in his heart.
"Die, can't die......" Mott's eyes glowed brightly purple. Staring at the wound on No. 86's chest, it seemed to be burning with all his mana, "I can only try my best to delay his injury, and when the barrier is opened, there will be no problems when we leave here!"
"Extracting the enchantment?" the mage was stunned, the word did not appear in the texts.
"It's to get us out of the mortal world! mission is done, if we don't leave, do we stay and drink tea?" explained the skull, "we are leaving." No. 86's injuries will be treated immediately, and the gardener will wake up like in a dream, and his body will be intact - all traces will be erased...... As for you. Maybe I won't see you again......"
"Won't you see you again?" said to Semar in the bottom of his heart, "It's okay, I'm sure you'll be a great mage's ......," he said, nodding to Semar in the distance.
Semar listened, hiding his sadness with a smile. These two strange partners were too impressed with him. But after all, they are not the existence of a world, and after a short encounter, they are bound to usher in what may be an eternal parting. "Thank you...... My friend. He said sincerely.
Not far from the mage, Selena climbed down from the second floor of the ruins of the armory room. She sped around the flower bed and ran to 86's side. Facing the pale smile of Number 86, Selena covered her lips and knelt on the lawn. "You ......" she hesitated to press her palm against Number 86's wound, her amber eyes overflowing with unspeakable sadness, "Bolles, how is his injury?" she asked, looking up at the barbarian.
The barbarian's face darkened, and he looked into the eyes of the hostess, he wanted to lie, but after all, he told the truth. "It's heavy, it's very serious......" Pollus shook his head and glanced at where Mott was in the air, "He's going to die here, but there's a mysterious force that slows down the flow of life force." There's nothing I can do about his injuries, sorry, my lady...... I'm so sorry. ”
"No......" Selena's tears finally couldn't hold back, and flowed down her beautiful face, "Why do you ?...... like this" Her lips trembled, as if she was asking herself, and as if she was asking someone else. She wanted to say thank you to the "gardener" who saved everyone, but this word, in the face of the dying life, seemed so ironic.
"Oh...... For the sake of the Lord God, she cried beautifully!" the jaw of the skull opened and closed, and while burning with mana, he let out a heartfelt compliment.
"Boss, I'm dying...... Do you still have time to care about this?" 86 complained, but he couldn't explain to Selena why he was safe, so he could only change the subject, "Don't worry, my lady, I'll be fine, after today, your gardener will be back, I can guarantee ......" he said, "So, is that necklace important, why did the demon want it?......"
His words instantly attracted the attention of Mott and Pollus, and Selena was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out a silver-white necklace with a jeweled pendant from her neckline. But what was really shocking was that the drop-shaped gem actually glowed deep blue in the night, and the light shook so deep that when your eyes sank into it, it seemed that you could see the bright stars in the sky.
"This necklace was a gift from my grandmother when she died......" Selena's face showed a hint of nostalgia, "It's been by my side for more than ten years, as for why the demon wants it......" The hostess shook her head lightly and didn't continue.
Eighty-six listened, and glanced at Mott floating in the air with some confusion, but he noticed that the skull's gaze had fallen on the gem. It has not been recovered so far. "What's wrong? What's wrong with this gem?"
The skull shuddered at the 86th's question, a rare occurrence. "Question, Boss, do you know the name of this gem?" it said with a hint of excitement in its voice. "Canwitt, a legendary jeweller in the Middle Ages, once wrote a jewelry bible called "The Gift of the Gods". In the catalogue of that book, there is a record of this gem. It said, "In the deep blue of the night flowed a brilliant galaxy of stars, the tears of the stars of Seferion, one of the greatest jewels of the mortal world......
"Just because it's rare. So the demon wants to get this necklace? Does that make sense?" asked 86, confused.
"Demons for this, unless they're crazy......" Mott replied simply.
No. 86 struggled to raise his arm, looked at Selena inquiringly, and gently held up the pendant after getting her approval. Behind the delicate jewel holder, No. 86 found a line of handwriting in an unknown language.
"It's the Old Continent ......" Before Mott could finish speaking, Selena had already understood the meaning of number 86, and a line of poetic words flowed from her lips. "Through my tears, you can see the gray ...... left by time," her voice slowly deepened, "Grandmother gave it to me when she died, and told me. Not all people who love each other can be happily together, you can wait, you can also go to find it, but don't waste your years in pain and sorrow......"
"Are you talking about your husband?" asked Madame...... 86 cautiously.
"Yes, my husband. Selena seemed to recall the sweetness of her memory, and smiled enough to melt the darkness, "He's gone, he's gone......," the hostess clutched her necklace, "but I've seen his soul...... I put it this way. Do you believe it?" she looked down at Number 86.
"You can try to convince me. Number 86 was lying on the ground and nodded, he was intrigued by the wonderful story.
"It's been seventeen years since that reunion, isn't it? It's really been a long time...... Selena sat down on the ground with her knees folded, her skull and the savage silent. Just listening quietly to her story, "In the same dangerous battle, my convoy was attacked, and most of the guards were killed, leaving only a few maids and guards still struggling to support themselves. But then, he appeared. Rode through the morning mist on a war horse and slew all the enemies with his sword......" The woman's voice was soft, as if recalling the most cherished time, "You know, when I saw those familiar eyes, I knew that he was always guarding me, always ......"
Selena paused, burying her face in the crook of her embracing arms, as if to calm the sadness in her heart. "For more than ten years since then, I have traveled with my servant to every corner of the continent, looking for a way to see him again. She looked up again, "but my lover never appeared in front of me again...... "I never ...... again," she said and smiled, "and then I returned to my hometown and lived in the former grandmother's estate, where I ...... to this day."
"You...... Still loving your husband?" Number 86 listened, not knowing how to comfort this fragile and strong woman.
Selena wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded stubbornly. "Yes, it hasn't changed. ”
"He's a lucky man...... 86 said, "Can you tell me his name? Maybe I'll be able to ...... it" He glanced up at Mott, but the skull shook its head noncommittally, this was beyond the control of the Cleaners and the Witnesses.
Selena was stunned for a moment, then smiled gratefully. "Thank you...... But ......" she wanted to ask you what you could do, but her kind heart made her stop talking. After a moment's deliberation, Selena said her name. "My husband's name is Soviran...... Sovereign Villore Kunderbach ......"
In an instant, it was as if something had struck hard in the depths of No. 86's soul, and his gaze was fixed on Selena's face, and the chain that held the door of memory in his heart shattered with a crisp sound. Light, warmth, and an intoxicating emotion poured out......
He saw the jewel-like early summer, the verdant meadows and the mountains...... He saw the laughter of silver bells under the green oak trees, the two names engraved together, and the girl in white with her hair fluttering in the wind......
At this moment, a dark purple ball of light appeared above the two of them with a roar in the void. Gray-white lightning whipped the air, and the ball of light spun and spread into a disk-like enchantment. Bang. A thick white pillar of light enveloped the body of Number 86 lying on the ground!
Time is frozen at this moment, everything, everything, all frozen in this moment.
The barbarian still kept his head down. Semar at the window opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, when the guards and servants who had escaped death stopped in the air......
The soft white light shook, and the shattered grass flew in the air. On No. 86's chest, a dark gray figure slowly rose, and the hooded cloak that covered his whole body trembled, as if beneath this darkness, it was wrapped in unbearable pain.
Selena clenched her lips, her eyes twinning, and she stood up with the figure. "It's like this...... It's ......" vague syllables slowly flowed from between her lips, and she saw, yes, she saw the scene in that memory. "Also, there's another ......"
"Is it me?" ...... madam," accompanied by Mott's low voice. The air that covered it burned and retreated to the sides, and the skull emerged from the void. At the same time, the hooded cloak burned in a falling light, burning with diffuse bright edges, shattering into ashes. Inside, a translucent figure with blue eyes stood there, but by this time, his eyes had already overflowed with uncontrollable tears.
"That should be our first mission...... "Boss, I'm sorry...... When the observer drains my memory. I don't know anything about the past as much as you do...... No, no......" it was silent, "let it be done...... We...... We are not people of the same world......" After saying that, he rushed into the barrier above his head without looking back.
Otherwise?...... Sovereign raised his palm tremblingly, he wanted to caress her face gently. only to find that her fingers could only go through her skin. But Selena gently grabbed his hand and put it on her cheek. The woman cried, but showed the most beautiful, happy smile. Through the palm of his hand, Sovereign could even feel an unforgettable warmth and a heartbreaking love.
He remembered the symbol on his left arm - it was an "E". For the sake of "Evelyn"......
"You ......" Soveland's voice was broken, tears welled up from his eyes, fell to the bottom of his heart, and smashed out a bitter trill, "You have waited for me for seventeen years, haven't you?......?"
"No......" Evelyn shook her head, "No...... Because you have always lived in my heart, and have never left......" she kissed the palm of Soveland's hand, "I am sure I will see you again...... I'll always be convinced......"
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Sovereign stared into Evelyn's eyes with a shudder, the soreness in his throat that couldn't even make him utter a full syllable.
"Don't say I'm sorry, my love......" Evelyn walked up slowly, her arms wrapped around Sauvera, their lips imprinted together, in the pale light, waiting and suffering brewed a refreshing honey washed by tears. "I'll wait for you...... Waiting for you forever...... No matter how far apart our world is......"
The barrier in the sky slowly contracted, squeezing Evelyn out of range of the pillar of light. "No! no......" Sovereign kept tapping against the invisible barrier at the edge of the pillar of light, the otherworldly power blocking out his voice, and the tears that flowed out of the corners of his eyes flew upward, submerging into the dark purple barrier.
Looking into Soveland's gaze, Evelyn bit her lip and shook her head, repeating a gesture - pointing her finger at her heart, then at her lover, and finally, at the twinkling stars in the sky......
Sovereign was stunned, he stopped his constant struggle, and just looked at Evelyn outside quietly, quietly, with a rock-like firmness in his eyes that seemed to have been forged by the cold wind for thousands of years. He lifted his fingers, scribbling a line in the bright white light, and finally, pressed his palm heavily to his chest......
The fierce air rushed backwards into the deep purple barrier, curling Evelyn's skirt and crimson hair, and the two of them stared at each other until the last moment. There was a bang, and the barrier that contracted into a ball of light eventually took everything away. She still stood there, staring into the void, her hands stretched forward, as if trying to hold off the starlight left behind by her lover's departure......
Tears, crystal tears streaked across her cheeks and landed in the air, dragging a brilliant silver thread, and her lips repeated the line:
In that deep sea of memory, have you ever remembered love?
I'll be back, I'll be back...... For you, you're waiting...... (To be continued.) )
