Chapter 3: Confession

At night, some people can't sleep, and some people go upstairs to look at the moon.

The Valorant Hotel in Croatia is one of the most exclusive in the Empire, and you even need to book in advance to get a seat.

It has a rooftop view unique in the entire empire, and is even equipped with astronomical telescopes, swimming pools and even helicopter lifts.

On the rooftop, there is an attic built up, called Dengxing Pavilion, standing on the top of the building, you can overlook the wonders of the world at a glance, north to the shore of the sea, south to the mountains and ravines, this kind of overlooking all things, looking up at the dome of the magnificence, enough to make anyone intoxicated.

This observation deck is open to guests 24 hours a day, and those who come are either rich or expensive, who cannot afford to offend, want to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone, or spend a good day with beautiful people, only come here quietly in the middle of the night.

However, the so-called rules are things that are used to bind most people and facilitate a small number of people.

For example, with a slight word, Lorna asked the lobby manager to drive the other people on the rooftop away one by one.

There are only two people left on this luxurious rooftop that is comparable to an open-air venue.

Two people sit on the edge of the rooftop, seemingly empty under their feet, but in fact, there is a composite high-transparency glass, which is enough to ensure safety.

However, in terms of visual effects, it is indeed thrilling, and it looks like a person jumping off a building has one foot on the edge of a cliff.

But in the same way, only by standing on the edge of danger can we see more things that ordinary people can't see.

For example, the city of the Empire is dotted at night.

The lights of the bustling city, when viewed from high in the sky at night, seem to rise from the earth with golden ribbons connecting thousands of miles, and the power of civilization can decorate the dark night and the barren land so wonderfully.

It was the first time for Su Ling to come to this kind of place and see this kind of scenery.

He admired silently, and the two of them sat on the rooftop, neither of them speaking.

Lorna was like a naughty little girl, gently kicking her slender and white calves, ignoring the risk of falling off a hundred-meter-tall building, which made people sweat for her.

Today she wore a short skirt in the style of a college, like a young student girl, and her eyes were also very gentle, a little different from the past.

Lorna looked at the drunken gold maze at her feet, and whispered to the person next to her, "Is it good-looking?" When I'm sad, I come here to see. ”

Su Ling stared at the tall buildings under his eyes, and now these were all under his feet, under the stars, and above the mountains.

He nodded, "It's pretty, but why do you want to bring me here?" I don't think you're sad right now......"

Lorna turned her head to look at him and smiled coquettishly: "I think it's beautiful, I want to share it with you, can you only see the beautiful scenery when you're sad?" ”

She smiled so beautifully, her red hair fluttered and her figure was slender, and the evening breeze blew the corners of her skirt, and her eyebrows provoked ambiguous meanings.

The voice blew into Su Ling's ears, he chuckled in his heart, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously: "Indeed, you can see the beautiful scenery if you want, you are different today from before......"

Lorna blinked, "What was I like before?" ”

Su Ling thought about it, well, proud, stubborn, serious, self-disciplined......

Well, it's actually a bit domineering.

He tried to change it to a euphemism: "Very self-motivated royal sister." ”

The very self-motivated royal sister frowned very good-looking: "Hmph, it sounds so good, I don't know what you were thinking in the past?" ”

She pulled up her red hair like a little girl, raised her head, put her legs together, raised her graceful jade neck like a swan, let go of her hands, and lay on her back in a "big" shape looking at the endless starry sky above her head, and said softly:

"It's true that I'm supposed to be training ...... right now"

The stars were shining overhead, and she stretched out her hand, as if trying to grab something, but quickly put it down again, and her tone was lonely:

"But now, I don't want to be a hero anymore, I just want to live well and fulfill my duty as a citizen of the empire."

Su Ling was a little curious: "You just gave up on your long-held dream?" ”

Lorna closed her eyes: "What is the dream that has always been dreaming...... It's just a bubble, in fact, I prefer the days when I was on vacation with my parents at the beach, I have never been a brave person, heroes need to fight for justice and fairness from the bottom of their hearts, not for the so-called honor...... I was sheltered under the wing of my parents since I was a child, and I no longer have that qualification. ”

She said with some relief, "Thank you to that demon for letting me recognize myself...... Thank you also for pulling me back from the brink of collapse, and I just want to live my life well. ”

The lights of the city below illuminated her face a little blurry, and her tone was gentle, as if a lovelorn girl confessed her mental journey to her best friend.

Su Ling's heart moved slightly, and he blurted out: "True heroism is to still love life after seeing the essence of life, in a sense, you are already your own hero." ”

This famous quote from the thinker and writer Romain Rolland is inexplicably appropriate here.

The girl was also touched by this sentence, she opened her eyes, sat up straight, and looked curiously at the people around her:

"Yes, how many people can't see themselves clearly in their lives, and they don't know what they should do, so they are coerced forward by the times, so what about you? I'm curious, where is your direction? ”

Su Ling thought that he really didn't have any direction, so he wanted to get back the emotions he had lost, but every time he was involved in the whirlpool, he was passive, and he could only follow the trajectory of fate and adapt to it.

He scratched his head: "I want to recover something that I lost, but I really don't know what I should do, there are always emergencies...... It's never out of my control, it's like I'm being arranged to move forward. ”

Speaking of which, he thought of Naia, maybe his own experience was in his grasp?

Lorna didn't know anything about Naia, she just nodded thoughtfully:

"You guy is really lucky and jealous, fate has always pushed you forward, there is always a thrilling crisis, like the protagonist in a novel, if the world is recorded in a book, you must be the protagonist."

Su Ling was dumbfounded, but what the other party said was right, who could brush shoulders with death again and again like him?

"You're going to be legendary," Lorna stared at him, her tone serious, "I'm serious, my instincts are accurate, and I think Her Majesty has the same hunch as me, which is why she pinned her hopes on you to revive the Empire." ”

Wait, I look like I'm going to usurp the throne?!

Su Ling scratched his head: "Actually, ......"

"Shh," the girl held out a finger to her lips, "I know it must be a secret, and I don't deserve to know what the Queen told you in private." ”

Su Ling had no choice but to shut up and sighed: "It is indeed very important, it involves even the survival of mankind. ”

"Well," Lorna nodded, "I know that this kind of thing should have little to do with strength, and only a true legend, someone who is outside the trajectory of fate, can accomplish it." ”

Are you really out of the air of fate?

Su Ling didn't know, he could only take a deep breath: "I hope." ”

The people around him approached him slightly: "Is there a goal next?" Ready to do it? ”

There was a rose-like fragrance on her body, just like herself, and the virgin body fragrance came into her nose, and Su felt her heart beat warm.

He was a little flustered: "Not yet, I'm ready to improve myself and go again." ”

He had already absorbed the energy crystallization of that S-class strange tale and successfully improved the skill of the Rift Girl to the S rank, but in the face of the legendary miracle, he must not take it lightly, and he would not take risks until Hanako's skill was upgraded to the S rank.

However, there is no way to quickly upgrade at present, the strange energy crystals are too rare, especially the high-level ones, the queen gave him is already the only remaining piece of the empire's fruits, and the rest are kept in the holy city.

Therefore, he is going to take a break and recover first.

But the girl didn't give him this chance, pressed her body over, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him gently.

Today, she is gentle and unspeakable, and the contrast between weekdays and days is like two people, Su Ling can't help but be a little red-faced.

Lorna looked into his eyes: "Since you have time, stay with me for one night, I want to see, do you prefer weirdness or people?" ”

Well, that's a lot better.

Su Ling estimated that she still had some nostalgia for the last time she saw herself and mercury sand in the living room.

However, at this time, there is no such cuteness as it is strong.

The night is long, and the beautiful woman is the companion...... It doesn't seem to be bad.
