> under everyone's gaze, Nayu finally uncovered the clothes on Richard's chest. There were also a dozen deep holes in his body, but everyone was staring at Richard's heart, wanting to see what the injuries were there.

The heart is the cornerstone of a strong person, and the stronger the stronger the person, the stronger the heart will be, and even more than one heart will grow. But no matter how many hearts there are, the original and original heart will always be the most important. In front of a powerful priest, no injury cannot be healed, but if the heart is injured, even if it is healed by divine magic, it will affect the strength of this strong man in the future. And Richard's wound is in the heart.

Nayu finally lifted Richard's clothes and revealed his heart. A low exclamation of surprise rang out all around, and people could hardly believe their eyes. On Richard's chest, there was a crystal plate that was shining brightly. It was the last Crystal of Destiny, just in time to block the dead light that shot into Richard's heart!

The flesh and blood around the Destiny Crystal Plate were scorched black, which showed how strong the power of that death light was, even the aftermath could cause such injuries. But in any case, Richard's heart was finally saved, and with a few magic spells, Richard was able to regain his sanity. Seeing this, the followers immediately erupted in a burst of suppressed cheers!

However, the four arch priests, including Aceris, were silent. In the end, it was Quicksand who asked, "Nayu, can you resurrect Lina?"

Nayu is now level eighteen, and the power of her resurrection technique has increased, but it is not a perfect resurrection, and the upper limit of the resurrected person's strength will still be damaged. Lina is not a particularly talented person, she is now at the nineteenth level, and it is likely that she will be hopeless for the rest of her life after her resurrection. As an archmage who has seen the threshold of legends, this is actually an extremely cruel ending. There was no mediocrity among the people present, even if it was not a holy area, they were deliberately suppressing their own power like Richard. So they all understand Lina's feelings.

When Lina stood in front of Richard in an instant, what courage did it take?

Nayu's hand rested on Lina's forehead, silent, but did not answer Quicksand's question. Her sudden silence silenced everyone, and it was like a huge lead stone pressed against her heart.

Still quicksand urged: "Naiyou." ”

No matter what kind of ending, it is an ending, and sooner or later it will have to be faced.

Nayu withdrew his hand, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Quicksand, I ...... There is no way to resurrect her. ”

This sentence was tantamount to a thunderbolt, which instantly stunned everyone.

"There's no way to resurrect?!" Quicksand's voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees, and then asked: "I haven't seen you use the resurrection ability! Don't let other things affect your judgment, Nayu, resurrect Lina!"

Lina has a special affection for Richard, and many people have seen it, and perhaps only Richard and Lina are the two parties who are not clear. Quicksand knew that Nayu's origin and scheming were even deeper than Io's, for fear that she would refuse to resurrect Lina on the grounds that she had cut off her rival, so her tone became extremely tough.

But Nayu raised his head and said with a wry smile, "It's true that I didn't use the resurrection ability, but Lord Lina's current state is that I can't be resurrected. That beam of light has the ability to directly annihilate souls, but in fact, Lina-sama's soul is now on the verge of complete destruction, and it is impossible to resurrect at all. Even if I forcibly resurrect her, it will only be a soulless walking corpse, and I believe that even Rina herself would never want to live in this way. ”

"What about Richard?" Quicksand's voice was a little lower.

"Most of the power of the beam to annihilate the soul was borne by Lord Lina. Lord Richard's soul may have been slightly damaged, but the impact should not be significant. At most, there are some changes in personality after waking up. ”

"What can you do now?" Quicksand asked with a frown.

Nayu said, "I can maintain Rina-sama's soul for a while, so that she can wake up and explain the future." This period of time is not very long, it is only about a few minutes, and the longest time is not more than a minute. ”

Quicksand didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Io, treat Richard immediately and wake him up." Nayu, you also wake up Lina, and then set up a tent so that they can be alone for a while. I think they might have something to say. ”

Nayu and Io both nodded, each contributing to their own efforts. In the blink of an eye, Richard and Lina had woken up, and by this time a tent had already been set up and covered their heads.

Nai Yu knelt down in front of the two of them, and said expressionlessly, "Richard, Lord Lina, you only have less than ten minutes, to be exact, Lord Lina has less than ten minutes. This is the limit of my ability, if there is anything I want to say, please say it quickly, and don't hesitate any longer. ”

After saying that, Naiyu turned around and walked out of the tent, and carefully put the curtain down.

Outside the tent, followers and costumed knights deliberately kept their distance from the tent. They stood and sat in different postures, all thinking about their own thoughts, and no one spoke.

The Blood Paladin Semir was the farthest away, sitting on a snowy rock, feeling for the first time that Huran's winter was so cold.

In the tent, Richard instantly recalled what happened before he fell unconscious, and then ignored Naiyou's words, and suddenly his whole body was cold, because he had understood the meaning of Naiyou's words. Lina, on the other hand, seemed calm and composed, and this ending had long been expected by her, and even a little surprised, because she did not expect to be able to get an extra few minutes to be alone with Richard.

"Lina, you...... How could you be like this!" Richard habitually used a reproachful tone, but he could hear the tremor in his voice.

The dragon mage pressed Richard's mouth and didn't let him continue. She looked at Richard, her eyes full of struggle and hesitation, and said softly, "Richard, don't say this. I'm running out of time, let me say! Actually, there's a sentence I've always wanted to say, and there's another question I've always wanted to ask you. At this time, let me be willful!"

Seeing Richard nodding, a smile appeared on Master Long's face, and then a layer of blush appeared, and he whispered, "Actually, what I want to say is...... It is...... Ah, why don't I ask you a question first!No, I still ...... Let me say that......"

She looked at Richard, her face getting redder and redder, and her speech became more and more incoherent. Seeing that she looked painedly determined, but in the end she said: "That, I...... Suddenly sleepy, let me lean in. ”

Lina's head leaned over to Richard, and when Richard reached out, she leaned against Richard's shoulder, and then stopped speaking, and only the sound of her breathing could be heard in the tent. The moment was calm and warm, and Richard secretly counted the sound of her breathing.

One, two, three...... Then there was complete silence in the tent.

“...... Lina. Richard cried softly.

No response.

“...... Lina?"

Still no response.

Richard didn't call her name again, just hugged her tightly, tears falling silently.

She is a talented archmage, with wisdom that matches the archmage, and she is also a charismatic woman. But in some things, she is smart, but she is not smart, because she is always insisting, insisting on what she likes, and never compromises. This sentence was what she wanted to say to Gordon when she was a girl, and now she wants to say it to Richard. However, there are always reasons for this or that that she can't say.

Until the end, she hadn't been able to speak.

It was something deep and hot, and she only hoped that Richard would understand.

Perhaps, this is Lina.

The curtain of the tent finally opened, and Richard walked out of the tent with Lina in his arms. All the followers stood up and looked at Richard in silence.

Richard looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, but Lina...... She has left us forever. But now is not the time for us to grieve, give me the order, give up cleaning the battlefield, and all the enemies who are still resisting will be executed! The whole army will attack the Holy City immediately! I will let Lina see how we take the Holy City!"

The followers returned to their positions in silence, and the fighting and screams on the battlefield suddenly became intense, and the last of the Holy City warriors had been slaughtered. Richard's army was reorganized, formed into a neat procession, and began to march towards the Holy City. Since the elite Darkblade Samurai had all been killed in battle, the local warrior units that led Hulan were now replaced by Richard's followers, as were the Constructed Knights.

The Holy City is still determined to resist, and the forces that resist are all those who live in the city.

It was a bitter but not fierce battle, and after two hours of repeated fighting, at dusk, Richard's troops finally marched into the last bastion of the Hulans, the Holy City. And the aborigines of the holy city, there are less than 5,000 survivors at the moment.

This is a group of crazy people with faith, because they have faith, so they can not care about life and death. Richard admired them, but he had to kill a person who was still resisting. Because they all have faith, they will never compromise with Richard. And Richard would not be pedantic enough to be merciful to his enemies who wanted to kill him. This is war, not just a continental war, but a plane war. For the most part, dimensional wars are more brutal than continental wars, and even captives and slaves are not needed.

Finally, Richard stepped into the Holy City and stood in front of the temple. He still wanted to be the first to enter the temple, but was stopped by the ogre's generous body, and then several knights in costume rushed into the temple like a whirlwind, not putting Richard in danger again. Richard silently checked the condition of his body, although he felt that he could still fight, but he did not insist any longer, but let his knights explore the interior of the temple first.

Moments later, the last resistance in the temple had been destroyed, and Hulan's last secret was finally to be revealed to Richard.
