Early the next morning, just as the gates were opened, a black carriage drove out of Price.

The young and beautiful woman in the car just took out the blue-green two-wheeled pentagram badge of the Magic Alliance Enforcer and shook it, and the soldiers defending the city immediately let him go. Everyone understands and knows what the situation is. When the demons attacked, if there were no people from the Demon Alliance, the consequences would be unimaginable, and who would want to get along with the executors of the Demon Alliance at this time?

In addition to Xiulin, who was holding a badge, there were also Ivan, Esia, and Carlo in the carriage. The black curtains obscured the warm morning light outside the window, and the small space was gloomy.

There was also an object tightly wrapped in a woolen blanket in the car, and it was Angel. With gray-black wings folded at her sides, Xiulin closed the girl's eyes and let her sleep between her mutated wings. The crow once said that Angel asked Ivan, but Ivan didn't really understand what he meant. However, the crow probably didn't want Angel's mutated corpse to be sent for research.

Anyway, she is also Her Royal Highness the princess back then, she should at least have a place where she can sleep peacefully.

Carlo later agreed, and did not burn the body as they had done with Professor Bestler's actual product. After all, Angel's body no longer exudes the aura of origin magic. Unlike Layla, she wasn't mutated because she had a magic crystal in her body, her original magic had long since melted into her blood and dissipated with her death.

They transported Angel to the mountains and forests outside the city, dug a grave for her with ordinary shovels, and buried the woolen blanket in the land of the Aura Kingdom along with her body.

The dense pines and cypresses sway gently, casting dappled light and shadow. A nameless tomb without a tombstone is really not in keeping with her former honor, but there is no better way. When it snows, the snow will cover her with white sheets, and birds will stop at the branches beside her to sing. In the future, no one will know who is buried here.

The four stood silently in front of Angel's grave, watching as the mountain breeze stirred their black travel cloaks. After a long time, Xiulin beckoned.

"Let him be alone. Xiulin lowered her eyebrows and smiled quietly bitterly, the corner of her eye sweeping over Carlo's back. Carlo was like a black statue, without a hint of movement. Aisha looked at him sadly and nodded.

Step by step, the three of them stepped over the tangled roots of the trees in the woods, and walked under a crooked old pine tree, which had a peculiar shape, and its branches were like open arms. Beyond the lower branch, they could see from afar that Carlo was still standing in front of Angel, still not moving, as if blending into the clear and lonely snowy landscape.

Xiulin suddenly pulled Ivan's arm, and with the other hand, she quickly ruffled his hair, and didn't forget to flick his forehead with her fingers. Ivan was stunned, craned his neck in disdain, and looked at Xiulin inexplicably.

"Okay, you didn't do anything wrong, don't put on such a guilty and aggrieved expression, okay?" Xiulin smiled evilly, her insightful black eyes saw through Ivan again, "Angel's business, it's not a mission, it's just an accident." Neither Carlo nor I will write a report on this matter and submit it to the Alliance. Let her just lie here. ”

Angel actually has a human-like appearance.

So...... Let's not think of her as a monster.

Even Mr. Grand did not know what had happened to Angel, they did not let Mr. Grand see Angel's body, and in fact, Mr. Grand did not dare to come. When Ivan went to John, he told him a rough idea of what had happened. Angel disappeared from Mr. Grand's inn as if she had never appeared.

As for the Alliance, although Essia woke up Tris and them when she arrived, they didn't know what was going on. They are plagued by a bizarre fire, but unfortunately the fire has long been unrecognizable, and the boss has disappeared, making it difficult to investigate.

People speculated that some demons had sneaked into the city at night, causing a bit of panic.

"It's my fault. Aisha hung her head and muttered, "If only I had called Carlo earlier......"

"Don't be stupid. Xiu Lin slammed her on the head, "Didn't you say that she killed all the soldiers? Nobody did anything wrong! It's just that things turned out so unexpectedly......"

Has Angel really lost her human mind?

At that time, Ivan also thought so, and Angel at that time was probably unable to remember who she was. But, but why didn't she kill the crow?

The moment she saw the crow, there was something that reminded her of her past as a human...... Is it?

Wizard Alliance 235

Ivan recalls Angel's conversation with the crow, and recalls the indescribable tone in which she shouted "Brother Rey", and always feels creepy. The crow is perhaps more than an enemy to Angel who must be harmed. She said that her brother would come to pick her up, and at that time she smiled, and smiled so happily, as if she was happy from the bottom of her heart......

"The person who killed Angel was actually a crow. ”

Xiulin came out coldly with these words, and Ivan shivered all over his body and looked at her with a shocked expression.

Carlo could see that Angel's fatal wounds were inflicted by shorter weapons, and that was also done on her wings. Xiulin gestured with her finger to the length of the crow's dagger, "That's a dagger." The blood on the ground is not only Angel's, Angel's blood is darker than ordinary people's blood, as long as you check it carefully, you can find it. ”

Xiulin crooked the corners of her mouth, "The little girl said, the crow took Angel away, and then Angel became like that when she came back, she kept telling you not to hinder him...... The reason why Angel will mutate, not a lot of words"

Ivan was speechless.

Ai Xia has already sued Sù Xiulin for all the qiē. Angel's identity, the identity of the crow, and the so-called "demon". When Angel returns to the hotel, the pigeon she calls "the devil" is gone, could it be that the pigeon has something to do with Angel's mutation...... None of this is known.

Ivan stared silently at his toes.

He didn't want to defend the crow, there was nothing to justify, he just felt sad in his heart. Perhaps, the crow really went to the accomplice's house, and there were other illegal magicians to take care of him, and he didn't have to think about the crow anymore. But he still felt sad.

"Ivan, where did the crows go?"

Xiulin's tone suddenly became stern. Ivan was startled, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"No, I don't know...... He, he used space magic ......"

"Huh?"

Xiulin's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a sense of scrutiny, and her lightning-like gaze looked Ivan up and down, as if she had to dig out the secret about the crow that he had hidden in his heart. Ivan subconsciously avoided her gaze, took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at Xiulin.

"I really don't know. He said firmly.

Xiulin breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to support the crooked branch, and turned sideways leisurely, as if watching a distant view, looking at Carlo who had always stood like a statue.

"I don't really want to interfere with you little kids......

Meaningful words, Xiulin must have discovered something. When she arrived in the guest room, Ivan still had bandages and potions in his hands, probably not trying to heal Angel's injuries.

"Hey, you two, you know why Carlo is called 'No Jumping.'

"Ride, knight?" Asha seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes widened.

"Hmm...... I heard that there used to be such a group of knights in the kingdom of Aura. They were the sons of nobility, trained from an early age, and they valued oath and loyalty more than life. The previous king, Charles was a belligerent tyrant, and the knights who were loyal to him were also ...... It brought very unpleasant memories, so people called them 'Hellknights' behind their backs. ”

"So, that, is that Carlo?" Aisha unconsciously raised her voice, and then suddenly realized that Carlo might be hearing, and hurriedly covered her mouth in fright. Xiulin didn't even look at her, leaning against the branch, as if in a daze, and as if thinking seriously.

Wizard Alliance 235

"I guess few people who call him this title know about his past, and he never tells me about the past...... Hehe, I really don't know anything about Kalo. Xiulin let out a dry smirk, "Listening to the little girl tell the story of the crow and Angel, I just understand why Carlo hates crows so much." Actually, Carlo also understands in his heart, no matter what Vincent says, compared to that Charles, he is still more enlightened, and the kingdom he wants to protect is actually getting better and better. However, the person he wanted to protect was gone. ”

Xiulin's words were filled with a chill like winter snow.

Ivan turned his head to look at the side of her face, only to see the smile on her lips a little lonely.

"That princess wants revenge on Vincent's son...... That's what the little girl told me. Xiu Lin blinked slowly, as if talking to herself, "There is no point in judging who is right and who is wrong now, it's just that if you meet crows again in the future, what are you going to do?"

"I, we, that, black, crow, he actually-"

"Not a bad guy?"

Xiu Lin turned her head and tilted her head to look at Ai Xia who was in a hurry to defend herself, "I guess you will say the same little girl, there are few bad people in your eyes." But I'm on Carlo's side. ”

A sly glint flashed in Xiulin's eyes.

"The Raven is a man that Carlo hates, and a criminal who snatches the magic weapon. For you Sister Xiulin, he is, well, how to say it...... He's a bad guy who has to be repaired. Xiulin held up a finger and smiled brightly, "As for you......"

"Sister Xiulin......" Ai Xia put on a look of tears that wanted to be wept.

"Just do what you think is right. ”

For a moment, Xiulin's expression regained her usual laziness, and she continued to look at Carlo's back intently, not knowing whether she was looking at Carlo's black clothes or the unreachable sky above the treetops.

......

On a clear winter day, the sky is far away and clear.

The gray dove swept through a circular trajectory and landed on the boy's fingertips.

In the morning light, the young man still wrapped himself tightly in a white cloak with a hood, which covered half of his face, but did not hide the elegant aristocratic smile on his lips. Don't skip words. He asked in a crisp, sweet voice to the pigeon with purple eyes in his hand.

"Well, I found it!" the pigeon laughed as cheerfully as a girl, "Carlo's fool, you thought Angel was really dead, Angel and Momora are actually one...... But that's okay. In this way, my wish will come true. ”

"Your wish is not to Wray Vincent Electric without skipping words. The boy was a little confused, "You didn't kill him, why?"

“...... There's no point in killing him. "If the pigeon had a girl's face, it would probably be pouting right now," said Rey's brother...... It's not like me. ”

The pigeon's voice is a little unreal, a little ethereal, and the purple eyes look quietly at the sky. "I can't take away the qiē that Brother Rey has, so let him leave my mark on his whole life. I'll never forgive Brother Rey...... He ruined my whole world! and most importantly, he actually took my favorite 'Brother Rey'...... Ruined ......"

When she saw Rey's brother standing in front of her father's corpse with a dagger in hand, Angel knew that Rey's brother was no longer her Rey brother.

The one she used to like the most, Rey's brother...... Was it just a disguise? Was it just a disguise? Was it just to kill her father that he was willing to play with her, to spend that dreamlike time with her? those smiles, those gentle words, those concerned eyes...... Is all, all fake?

Actually, she just wants to go on like that......

I want to be able to hear Rey's brother's piano every day, watch Rey's brother drink the black tea he brewed and smile heartily, and listen to the happy voice of laughter when he calls his name.

Already, there's no going back to the way it used to be.

But from now on, Brother Rey will never forget her, and the blood on his hands, even if he washes it, will still leave her smell.

Angel...... Will stay with Brother Rey forever and ever.

......

The capital of the Kingdom of Aura, inside the city of Ode.

Christina angrily pushed open a delicate white door, roaring in a low voice like a awakened lion.

"That dead bird doesn't jump words yet.

Although she was already angry to the point of exploding, she still consciously lowered her voice. The rooms at the Holy Flame are quite spacious. She stood in the doorway, staring at the man lying on the four-poster bed, stunned and not taking a step closer.

The raven's face was still bloodless.

Christina watched for hours by the wizard Clarence's "place of origin", and just when she thought the mad dead bird would never return, the golden teleportation circle lit up, and the crow fell to the ground with her wounds clutched as soon as she appeared in the circle. He had been asleep for a long time, and perhaps he wouldn't wake up.

There was too much blood shed, and the dagger in his hand was not put away, and it was scattered all over the ground the moment he fell. Star bandaged his wound in time. The blood on the dagger was somewhat abnormal, not like human blood.

At this moment, Star sat on the edge of the crow's bed, looking down at him.

Seeing Christina come in, Star smiled wryly, stood up, and strolled over to Christina.

"Don't be in such a hurry, he'll wake up. ”

Closing the door, Star and Christina stood in the hallway illuminated by a pearl-like magic lamp. Christina furrowed her brow, her expression rather agitated.

"What is he doing with the crow, how did he make himself like this? Could he have deliberately let the princess stab him? What is this?

Star smiled, compared to Christina, Star's smile was so light.

"yes, it's over. Star said calmly. Yet, to Christina's ears, his voice was as solemn as a priest reading a holy book.

"I'm sure Rey will accomplish what he's set out to accomplish, no matter what the cost to him. Rey is that kind of person, no matter how heavy the past is, he will bear it. What he said, what he did, all the consequences, he would bravely bear it. Christina, bravery is not the absence of fear, but the determination to do so even when it is fearful. ”

I don't know if this time, when the crow wakes up, will say the phrase "I don't think I did anything wrong". No matter what happens, he will continue to walk on the road in the future without hesitation.

And the star will also carry his past and continue to walk.

I hope that when the moment of the end comes, I can regret this extraordinary life.
