096 A Thought
Allegri leaned against the window, glancing warily at the soft night outside, but found nothing. Originally, it was feared that Amosic might provoke a great figure to be hunted down all the way, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The injured crow spread its wings and lay on the wooden floor, its transfiguration gradually dissolving, slowly revealing the hideous body of the two-headed demon dragon.
Allegri reached out and placed the miniature version of the dragon on the windowsill, his tentacles were cold, and it was clear that the situation in his body was not optimistic.
"Quick, deliver the flame mana into him. Herseus shouted anxiously, and he could see that Amosic had been dealt a fatal blow.
Allegri didn't move, he looked at the demon dragon a little blankly, his eyes flickering, he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, enveloping the unconscious two-headed dragon, his body gradually became colder, and his vitality was slowly draining from his body. This made him look a little pitiful, but who knew how much harm this seemingly cute little guy would bring to the world.
"What's wrong?" Herseus also felt this strange atmosphere, and asked with some confusion.
"Teacher, if," he said suddenly, he asked softly, "if Amosic is dead, will we not be able to fulfill that contract?" β
Herseus was silent, and after a long time he whispered a response, "That's right, we have no obligation to protect him in the contract, and once he dies, the contract will be automatically terminated. β
"Oh. Allegri nodded in understanding, then fell silent again.
Herseus sighed, trying to say something, but he still didn't speak.
In the San Setestian Empire, thousands of miles away, Allegri, who was originally in exile, gradually gained a stable life, especially after the removal of the imminent threat of Gregory, which was originally just a place to settle down, but had a peaceful atmosphere. And neither the "Red Flame Tower" in the depths of the earth, nor the Nacini Mansion where he was staying, obviously could not give him such a feeling.
Here, he met a lot of people, made many friends, and really began to understand the most ordinary level of life in this world, and it was also the level that he was really familiar with. Even, he took in two students and seriously considered whether to be a real mercenary leader.
However, as long as Amosic was still alive, he would never do that. Even though he seemed completely harmless, and was a great help to him in getting rid of Gregory, the contract was firmly restraining him, and the dragon's eyes were always watching him, urging him to knock on the "iron door" and bring blood and fire to this world.
But, now, he has a chance to escape. This simple choice was in front of him, as long as he went back to sleep, or pretended to sleep, and didn't even need him to bear the name of betrayal, he could easily get out of this trouble.
He turned slowly and walked towards his bed, and in his mind, Herseus still didn't say a word. The moonlight caressed his back, pulling twisted shadows across the walls.
On the windowsill, the lone two-headed demon dragon seems to sleep peacefully in the moonlight, which may be the last demon in the world, and it is gradually dying.
Allegri suddenly paused, an inexplicable feeling could not be shaken away, he walked back to the window in a few steps, trembling and stretching out his hands, and the surging flame magic suddenly erupted.
"Just now, I really thought you wouldn't save him. "Amosic's situation has stabilized, and for the purgatory race of the Two-Headed Demon Dragon, the power of fire is life force. Herseus watched quietly as Allegri finished rescuing him, and the dragon's condition gradually stabilized before he spoke.
"That's what I thought," Allegri was a little tired after losing a lot of mana, "but suddenly changed his mind." β
"For what?" Herseus asked, adding, "of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. β
"There's nothing I can't say to you," Allegri said softly, sitting on a wooden chair, "Teacher, I've been wondering, do you feel lonely?"
"Me?" Herseus wondered.
"Yes, teacher," Allegri whispered, "after a thousand years, you are the only one who has survived. The glory of the past has become dim, the grievances and hatreds of the past have turned into nothingness, and the familiar names of people have all become distant memories, which only exist in history books and legends...... Even an ordinary young man you knew back then is now left with an empire named after him, and you ......"
"I only mind the last point," Herseus snorted, "what is there to be lonely, for for a thousand years have been nothing but a dreamless slumber for me. β
"And now, Teacher, what about when you wake up?" Allegri asked, "After a thousand years, when you wake up, this world should be completely new to you. β
His tone was a little inexplicable, and he asked seriously, "Teacher, if you wake up and find yourself in a new world, and there is no one you know, won't you feel lonely?"
"I don't want to think about this kind of question. Herseus shook his head, unwilling to talk about the subject again, and he could hear that he was a little annoyed by what he was doing.
"So you've thought about it, teacher," Allegri whispered, "Actually, I've thought about it too, we're all the same, including Amosicβ"
"Even though he's a demon, he's a wretched fellow. β
Allegri, who had recovered a little, stood up again and began to channel the power of the flames.
The two-headed dragon struggled for a moment, felt the condition inside him, and opened his eyes in surprise to look at Allegri in front of him.
"Old Dragon, how did you do this?" Herseus did not show up in order to save Allegri's magic, but his voice still came out.
"I'm going to go out and meet a legendary professional," Amosic looked much better, his body warming up again, "almost died, and was hunted down all day before he got rid of him." β
"Why did you meet a legendary homebuyer?" Allegri wondered.
"Necro Wastes has the highest concentration of volcanoes on the continent, so I'm going to survey it. Amosic explained.
"But the Necro Wilderness, thousands of miles from here, right?" Allegri remembered that Amosic had only been away for three or four days.
"It's not too far, it's not too dangerous," Amosic flapped his wings and barely stood up, "but I met one of the Holy Alliance's troopsβ"
He puffed out a puff of black smoke from his nose and continued, "Thinking that you care about their information, I leaned over to hear it, but it turned out that there was a legendary professional in the team, which was really unlucky. β
