Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Stars of Life
"You've seen all this, there's no doubt that she's your 'lifeline'"
"yes, that's great, but how is he doing now?"
"It's fine, it's just the first time she's used this power. Plus the awakening changes the whole person. It's normal for the body to not be able to adapt for a while. ”
When she fainted, the sound of conversation in her ears woke her up leisurely, and when she opened her eyes, the first thing that caught her eyes was the bright moon in the sky and the stars in every corner of the night. And he is lying on the ground at the moment. At this moment, it is late autumn, the cold wind blows the ground on the roof of the building, and it must be extremely cold, and I don't wear much, why can't I feel the slightest chill but have a warmth? Eyes swept over his body, it turned out that there was a cotton blanket under him, and a robe was draped on his body, looking at this robe, Crowen's face flushed slightly, this robe was very familiar to him, it belonged to the man he had been paying attention to, and it made the warm current pour into his heart from his body.
"Are you awake?" As Crowen reveled in the warmth, the voice of the man who had been intoxicated by herself rang out, and when she looked over, she saw that Fodamès was standing in front of her and stretched out his hand to pull her up, while the headmaster, the priest, beside him, was watching it all kindly. Although she was very shy, Crowne still stretched out her right hand and took Fodamès, and stood up with his strength. Looking around, the roof of the school building, where a fierce battle had just broken out, was restored to its original state, including the water tank with a broken roof that should have been broken a long time ago, and there was nothing unusual.
"What's wrong with me? Did you fall asleep or pass out here? Was it just my dream? "What I saw and heard just now is too fantastical, so unreal, such an experience shouldn't be the heroes and warriors who fought on the front line, why did it happen to me here, everything is like a dream of Nanke. And now everything around me seems to confirm this idea even more.
"If you were an ordinary person, I would answer you 'yes'. But now I can tell you that what you have just seen and heard is a real fact. The priest smiled and looked at Croven, who was looking around in confusion after getting up, answering his doubts.
Although the priest said this, he still couldn't believe it, and asked in disbelief, "Headmaster? What's going on here? What kind of monster is this. How do you and Mr. Fudames ......?"
"This monster is attracted to the evil of the world. Over the past few decades, the hearts of the people of the empire have gradually become corrupt and dark. If this depravity is left untreated, it will accumulate over time and produce unimaginable evil consequences, so we gather these evils and seal them here, and such monsters are attracted to this evil. Monsters like this are collectively referred to within the Empire as Cursed Beasts. This is a Blood Beast. The priest answered Croven's first question first. Although Crown still didn't seem to understand, she nodded back to mechanical. The priest then answered her second question: "I am the archbishop of Hidden Wing, and your Phodamis is the only warrior of Hidden Wing. ”
"Hidden Wings?" Cloven repeated it strangely, ignoring a key word in the priest's words.
"Yes...... Hidden wings. You should know about the Empire's largest church leadership organization, Lightwing, right? The Headquarters Cathedral is located in the center of the Holy Capital, and is assembled by the most powerful Saints of the Empire to rule over the Followers of the Light throughout the Empire. We are also a school in its name. The priest began by speaking of one of the most desirable temples for almost all citizens of the Empire.
"Yes......" Clowen replied softly. I'm very familiar with it. After all, the yearning for there is also one of the main reasons why parents agree to enter this school on their own.
"And we Hidden Wings are the opposite." Hearing the priest say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Crowen's eyes. Looking at the astonished gaze, the priest explained: "It is not the opposite of good and evil, but the opposite of the way of acting. The light wings and hidden wings were originally one, and at the beginning of the ancient empire, they were the supreme existence that supported the entire empire to soar over the continent. But in that darkest moment of the Empire, which had been hidden for a long time, the wings separated...... The wings of light lead people in the light to do good and drive out evil. And we are in the shadows, unseen, guarding people only when necessary, fighting against the existence of evil, as you see today. It's just ......."
Saying this, the priest sighed: "It is the history that the empire chooses to forget, plus the history of the long time. Therefore, we who chose to hide were gradually forgotten by the Empire. At present, we can say that it is almost impossible to verify existence. Of course, this is our own choice, but the Empire is now similar to ours, and the Night Wingguard has regarded him as an enemy because of some misunderstandings, codenamed 'Phantom Light', although we can avoid them for a while, but it will be difficult to avoid conflict for a long time......"
"Why!" Although there was a lot of information that the priest said and said that she was difficult to understand and surprised herself, Clowen chose to listen patiently and did not ask too many questions, until she heard the information related to Fodamès, which surprised her and even exclaimed: "Why can't you explain it to them?" ”
"Because I've been cursed, I can't explain anything...... Father explained, and Fodamès, who had been silent by his side until now, finally spoke: "Originally, the hidden wing is extremely secretive, and it only handles all threats secretly until a major crisis, and it is inconvenient to contact others. What's more, after I am cursed, anyone close to my normal contact will suffer misfortune, and fate will be twisted and destroyed......"
Saying this, Fudames looked sad, as if he remembered something, and suddenly paused, unable to help himself. There seemed to be a glimmer of light in his gloomy eyes.
"How could it be...... Teachers are not always in contact with us to impart our knowledge. None of us have suffered misfortune or misfortune. The Fodamès in front of him was so vicissitudes and sadness at this time, looking at this look, he suddenly recalled the scene when the two looked at each other for the first time. At that time, the Fodames in his eyes gradually coincided with him now. This feeling made him feel sad for a while, and at the same time, the desire to help him in the dream also burned violently.
"Because of this church......," Fudames continued to explain with a wry smile, "this church is one of the bases of the Hidden Wing, sheltered by the ancient Holy Light. To be honest, that's why I joined Hidden Wing. There are a lot of sacred relics that have been passed down through the generations inside the Hidden Wing to help me suppress the curse temporarily. This church itself can count as one, and I have no problem having normal contact with you and others here. But only in normal contact. If it's too intimate...... The curse can even break through this church shelter. ”
Now Crowwen finally understands why this man is usually so cold and difficult to get close to, it is a kind of kindness that sacrifices his emotions for fear of hurting others, and a kind of tenacity that carries the weight in loneliness.
Crowwen ...... I have a request here, though it may be unfair for you to come. Because it will completely shatter your present life and fill your future with deadly danger and the shadow of death. Just when Cloven was feeling in her heart, Fodames made a move that Clovin never thought of, he knelt in front of him on one knee and touched his chest with one hand, like a knight, and asked himself: "I hope you can help me fight side by side in the future." Because you are my lifeline. I can only move forward better by relying on you. Of course you have the right to refuse. ”
"Destiny?" As a teacher in himself, he is so powerful, no matter where he looks at it, he is a high-ranking existence for himself, and now he is so low-voiced and pleading with himself. Kneeling in front of her and pleading for her own Fudames and the unfamiliar noun she heard now made Crowen completely overwhelmed, and she could only cover her mouth and repeat it.
"Yes, 'Destiny'." The priest spoke again, and there was a sense of anticipation in his eyes as he looked at Croven: "Let your teacher Fodames teach here not only because this school will curb his curse, but also because the eighty-eight students in this school, including you, represent the endless stars in the firmament, which we call you 'Destiny Stars'. Each 'destiny' has a different and special destiny and mission. Although it usually seems to be no different from ordinary people, it will manifest itself and affect others under certain circumstances. It is also our duty to arrange your 'life stars' reasonably. Although there is some disrespect for your wishes, it is beneficial to you. But you may be the exception - you are the 'star' he has been looking for. You are the only one who will not be affected by his curse, not only can you help him fight evil as you did just now, but it is also his only salvation, and his curse can only be slowly dissolved by your side. This is the first time that the Hidden Wing has been established and the members of the Hidden Wing have been directly linked. And that's why you're going to be in danger and death, as he said before. You can refuse us. But whether you agree with it or not, I hope you can keep it a secret. (End of Chapter 87)
