Chapter 172: Shadow of the Flames
"The fog that day was so thick that it swallowed everything, and you couldn't see anything five paces away. But I know every street and corner of the fishing port, and a little fog can't bother me. So I quickly found the fountain and put my boat in it merrily. Ah, I had that much fun until a black ballista smashed my boat. ”
The black-armored Champion Warrior described everything calmly, only a slightly furrowed brow showing the ups and downs of her heart. The tall and beautiful warrior stood in the cold night wind, and the dancing bonfires cast crimson waves on her black armor, flashing a mist of light.
"I was amazed at that moment beyond imagination, for I saw a black feathered mast two as long as I had fallen into the fountain. My boat was gone, the water was soaking my skirt and hair, and I wanted to cry, but a strange sound I hadn't heard overcame my cry. The strange sound enveloped the entire fishing port like the deepest terror in the hearts of men, and then a torrential rain of masts shot from the position of the sea, and they pierced the roof tiles and windows with sharp spearheads, and even the bluestone pavement was cracked by the pieces they hit, and one stone hit my head, and I lost consciousness. ”
Lisa's voice was calm and deep, and she gently brushed away her thick bangs. In the middle of the white forehead, there was a small tattoo of Milmidia's wings, with an unusual meaning, which was where she was injured, but for a special reason the scar was tattooed into the delicate coat of arms of the wise Valkyrie, the beautiful warrior looked into Hyde's eyes, and then continued to tell her original story.
"The coma was lucky for me because it saved my life, and it was even more unfortunate for me because I woke up and couldn't see my parents again. I opened my eyes after I didn't know how long I was unconscious, but only blood and corpses rushed into my field of vision, making me feel that the world had turned into hell. The houses were burning, heads and hands hung from every broken door and window, old men and children were impaled on wooden stakes, their intestines wrapped around their necks, and the stench of blood soaked the familiar stone paths. ”
"I don't know how I moved my steps, but my heart told me to find my home, so I walked in confusion between fire and blood, calling the names of my parents, my mother, and my brothers. But my cry didn't meet my mother's arms, and my cry only drew a few black shadows. ”
"At first I naively wanted to approach them and ask what was going on, but the horror of my instinct immediately told me not to get close. Because they wore masks full of blades like sea spiders, their jagged swords in their hands carrying human heads, their pointed ears and terrible laughter told me that they must be the legendary dark elves, and the moment I tried to escape, something familiar changed me. ”
"Because I saw my father's face, but his face was hanging from the tip of the Dark Elf's knife! ”
The Dark Elves let out a wild laugh of surprise, and they seemed to have an indescribable interest in bloodshed. With a punch my tiny body flew out, and a darkspirit leader lifted me up. I tried to bite his finger, but he laughed maniacally and began to break mine, a long and terrible pain, for he said to take off my little warrior's skin in its entirety to add interesting decorations to his cabin. ”
Lisa's voice became muffled, her slender eyebrows tightly twisted together, and her hands unconsciously made a metallic grinding sound against her armor. Frey hugged Hyde tightly, and Hyde could feel her slender body tremble slightly, and Lisa's painful memories touched Frey's sad heart.
"The dark elf in the sea spider helmet gripped me tightly with his iron pincer-like hands, and he spent an hour just crushing my two fingers, and the terrible laughter echoed with my cries, and the pain of the bones and flesh shattering each bit made me want to die at once. But when he began to crush my third finger, I suddenly saw my angel, which was an angel with a holy spear. ”
"I remember that moment an angry roar interrupted the wreaking havoc of the dark elves, I remember the tricolor wings rushing through the flames to my side, I remember the red feather's holy spear piercing the dark elf's blue-black gold-rimmed armor, I remember a warm hand taking me into my arms, I saw the angel's beautiful face, I saw her angry and kind eyes...... I will never forget this moment, for this angel is your noble mother!"
Her voice trembled with excitement, and fiery tears flowed down her beautiful cheeks, and the champion warrior in black armor fell lightly on one knee in front of Hyde, her slender fingers holding Hyde's wrists, and her gentle lips kissed the back of Hyde's steel-clad hand. The coat of arms of the god rose magnificently behind her, like the wings of an angel covering her slender body.
"Twenty-four years have passed since that moment, but that moment is eternal for me, your noble mother took me who had lost everything with her warm side, and I remember the moment when she gently bandaged my wounds...... When she found out that I had a talent for martial arts, she taught me a lot, and I became her personal armed maid. When I bled so much on the battlefield eight years later that I almost died, she did not hesitate to give me her glorious blood. At that moment, she put it next to my ear and told me to take care of my wounds, but that sentence became the moment when I said goodbye to her......"
Lisa's voice paused in grief, and she sobbed violently, drooping her blonde head. And Hyde also bent his knees, countless touches and pains stirred in his young heart like a tidal wave, and his mother's gentle and resolute face repeatedly appeared in front of him as if it were real and illusory, and he simply didn't know what to say.
"In this way, the noble blood of Her Royal Highness Princess Martial God flowed in my veins, and I received the glory of her holiness. My glorious Highness, this is why I have the breath of your noble mother...... for her noble blood has changed my soul...... It is my luck to be able to make Her Highness feel all this, because I will always be the lady-in-waiting of Her Royal Highness the Princess, always. ”
After a violent sob, Lisa suddenly hugged Hyde, her cheek pressed against Hyde's. The breath of that moment was like a warm wind, and Hyde could feel the familiar kindness, and his tears rolled down like beads, wetting Lisa's deep blonde curls. Frey leaned gently against Hyde's side, her dark eyes filled with tears.
