Chapter Seventy-Four: The Price of Betrayal

It's painful to be betrayed by a trusted companion, but it's precisely because of the pain of being through the heart that Nagi feels even more precious when the bond of a true partner is tested.

"In the past, we also simply believed that as long as you regarded others as companions and showed your sincerity to them, they would definitely be able to repay you with loyalty. Isn't this a matter of course—we used to think of it as wishful thinking, but, as you say, it's just a whimsical thing, you swear never to betray, but the other party is not obliged to make the same oath as you, and there is nothing to blame for the so-called betrayal, it's just because you don't deserve to be the companion he can trust everything. ”

With a relieved look, Nagi shook his head helplessly and said, betrayal is happening in this world all the time, since the birth of mankind, all kinds of betrayal have been accompanied by the uneven development history of human beings to constantly refresh the lower limit of human discipline, the more mature people's wisdom is, the more the probability of betrayal will increase, which is really a deep sadness.

"However, Yang Yan has a saying, called adversity to see the truth, over time to see the hearts of the people, betrayal is certainly painful, but when the bond between you and your companions blooms after the test and blooms into the noble light of human nature, have you ever experienced that joy?"

When Anthea, who pretended to be asleep, dragged her scarred body and suddenly burst out with incredible power to save herself from the crisis, Nagi's heart at that time could be said to be full of mixed feelings, and she also wondered if there was a friendship in this world that was higher than the real one, but when a fool like Caesar and Anthea reached out to her with her meager strength, the warmth from the bottom of her heart swept through her body like a spring breeze, and that wonderful feeling could not be described by words alone.

"Although no matter what, you can't escape the responsibility of killing Uncle Leon, but you give us the feeling that you are just like your previous self, and you have also been betrayed by others because of ignorance, but compared to us, you idiot has chosen a more extreme form to vent your anger," the last trace of murderous intent on her face quietly dissipated, and Nagi with a gentle smile stretched out her hand to Victoria who was sitting on the ground, although she didn't know that this person had been called an "imposter" by her until now The girl's surname is very good, but she still decided to face this guy who was carried away by hatred with a more tolerant attitude, "It's good to make an exception, let's give you a chance to choose again, and become our companion! ”

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

The sneer slapped Nagi's outstretched hand away, and even Victoria herself didn't know why she subconsciously rejected the olive branch that Nagi threw and could keep her alive, and before she came to her senses, she relied on her instinctive impulse to act.

"Who are you, the god who created all things?" Victoria's voice was so fast that even she was amazed at her excellent eloquence, Nagi's words seemed to touch some strange switch on her face, making her whole body become extremely excited, "Who needs your forgiveness, and who needs your chance? Yes, you are a demon god-level magician who can easily break the forbidden spell, and we mortals are like worthless ants in front of you, aren't we? What about being betrayed?" I really can't figure out how many people in this world can have enough power to actually threaten a monster of your level. But I'm different, I'm just a mediocre talent with mediocre talents, in the past 20 years, I have put in a hundred times more effort than ordinary people, but I can only touch the edge of the white robe. ”

Raising her hands in front of her, Viktoria looked at her calloused hands from overcasting, a memorial to being burned by magic again and again, even if they could be hidden in the guise of a fraudster, it could not change the fact that she still had hands that resembled those of a peasant woman who had worked all year round.

"How can you understand, how can you understand my feelings, a genius like you, a strong man like you, a guy who can do whatever he does!" No matter how I practice magic now, I won't have the slightest growth, although the general view is that people should have the ability to continue to improve in magic before they reach their twilight years, but everyone's qualifications are limited, and my ability can only stay here, half a foot has stepped into the realm of the strong, and I used to feel a little complacent about this, until you appeared as a monster, I didn't understand what a frog at the bottom of the well is. ”

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with ability! Isn't Anthea, who doesn't even know anything about magic compared to you—"

"So you don't understand what I mean!" interrupting Nagi's defense, Victoria felt that her whole body had become extremely excited now, and she had a feeling of complete excitement, "Of course, anyone can be a worthless thing like a companion, but betrayal is different, do you understand? Don't you see it from Leon's idiot? Don't be in a hurry to get angry - what if it wasn't Leon who I betrayed at that time, but you?"

If it's not Uncle Leon, but ourselves?, Nagi, who was furious because of Victoria's act of pouring salt on her wounds, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing her explanation, if Victoria had lurked her snow fox demon on her as her companion at that time......

"Of course, I pulled you, a shameless villain, out and taught and taught a lesson, and ......taught a lesson."

Swinging her small fist at Viktoria, Nagi shouted menacingly, of course, she will not hesitate to teach Viktoria a lesson from the bottom of the pit that betrayed her teammates, so that she can understand the necessity of respecting her companions. However, halfway through the sentence, Nagi's voice, who seemed to understand something, suddenly deepened, as if the tide that had permeated the mangrove forest had suddenly receded.

"Oh? Do you see that? That's right, if it were you, what if I betrayed me? Not only can you deal with it calmly, but you can also trouble me afterwards, right?" Looking up at Nagi, who was not tall, Victoria knew very well that the petite and stunted girl in front of her was a mountain that she could not climb with her life's time and efforts. However, if it were that Leon, as soon as I betrayed him, his flame of life would disappear in an instant, and even if he was lucky enough to save a small life, do you think he would have enough power to break the sunset to take revenge on me, Viktoria Andreivna?"
