Chapter 64: The Guide【III.】

On a hillside outside the Gold Digger's Station, Cohen lay lazily on the damp grass, with a blade of grass in his mouth, his eyes staring blankly at the dark clouds in the air, and his heart was colliding fiercely. Ever since Patriarch Carter gave him this important task, Cohen felt that he was slowly changing, especially the desire for strength that had far exceeded his expectations, from Rachel's deathfight with Alexandra, Mia's death in Rocky Canyon, and the legendary fighter of Crescent Lake's Fangs of Eternal Life, all of which touched Cohen's heart deeply.

"I need strength!" Cohen raised his right hand, opened his five fingers and carefully looked at the lines in his palm, he vaguely remembered that a visitor to the Elven Forest told him that the palm prints can see everyone's life experience and future, if you are confused for the future, you might as well take a closer look at the twists and turns of the palm prints, and then think about your own life, it will definitely bring you insights. At this time, Cohen saw all the confusion and doubts in the palm prints. In fact, for a moment, Cohen's heart was also surrounded by vanity, and he was able to save everyone's lives with his own strength, and was recognized and praised by everyone, and that glorious light can indeed cover up the truth of everything.

But when Cohen calmed down, a creepy feeling arose, although Cohen believed that the patriarch Carter would never hurt himself, but the cold voice that appeared in his mind, the cold voice with a faint hint of familiarity, what was it, why could he control his consciousness so easily, all of this made Cohen feel like a fish in his throat, unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Can I sit here?" said Shelly's crisp voice suddenly behind Cohen. Cohen was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stood up and planned to run away, he just wanted to be quiet for a while, he felt that everything that happened around him was evolving into fear and gradually destroying his weak will, if it continued like this, his state of mind would never be able to return to the way it was before, this is the one thing Cohen fears the most, the fear of the unknown will lead to the cowardice of a warrior, which is the shame of every warrior.

"Running away won't ease the pain in your heart, Cohen!" Xuelu's words made Cohen, who was originally planning to escape, stay there, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xuelu and said: "You don't know what happened to Lu Dao, everything that was originally familiar suddenly became so strange, so strange that people can't help it, I even suspect that this is a dream, a dream that will not wake up." Cohen slowly knelt down on his knees as he spoke, his clenched fists slamming into the ground, his half-arched body trembling slightly.

Xuelu sighed, hugged her knees and sat on the grass beside Cohen, the wet ground made her frown, but looked at Cohen, sighed again, and said: "When everyone encounters adversity, they hope that it is just a dream; Because my magic can only heal wounds, but not closed hearts. Xuelu finished speaking and looked at Cohen, who was still buried in his head, but her mind gradually sank into a memory.

"Would you like to hear a story, Cohen?" Xuelu seemed to be interested, and suddenly reached out and shook Cohen's shoulder, hoping to get his response, but he didn't expect that after half a sound, Cohen still held his head and said nothing, but Xuelu moved her body, found a comfortable position and gently rested her little head on Cohen's shoulder. At this time, Cohen moved, looked up in confusion and looked at Xuelu leaning on his shoulder, and when he was about to say something, Xuelu said softly: "I'll just rely on it for a while, and I'll go back to the Broken Gold Hotel after I finish telling this story." Cohen, who was about to push Xuelu away, hesitated for a moment, and hugged his head again and remained silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Xuelu smiled happily, but her body was tighter, and after sorting out her thoughts a little, she said softly: "Many years ago, there was a pair of kind-hearted boys and girls, both of whom had a compassionate heart for the heavens, and in order to relieve the pain and illness of the world, they resolutely chose to become the priest of the Holy See of Mirumis, and they met at the annual priest apprenticeship selection competition of the Holy See. Although the last two failed to become priests because of their mediocre qualifications, in order to realize their dreams, the two decided to stay in the Holy See of Mirumis as the lowest level of unranked apprentices, completing various manual tasks arranged by the Holy See during the day, and at night, the Holy See acquiesced in allowing the two to go to the peripheral reference room to consult some documents and notes related to the priesthood. Time passed quickly, and it was time for the next year's priest apprenticeship selection competition, and the two were still unsuccessful, and the two hugged and cried that night, and more than a year of hard work came to naught again. But when the rising sun of the next day came into the eyes of the two, the two saw perseverance and determination in each other's eyes, and at this moment, they both smiled, and the cruel fate made the two finally come together, and they fell in love. Speaking of this, Xuelu's voice was a little choked, but her originally cold eyes contained a hint of warmth at this time.

"And then?" Cohen asked, still holding his head, but he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart.

The two decided to fight again, and if they failed, the two would return to the boy's hometown together to get married and have children, and live an ordinary life. In the following year, the two tried their best to delve into all kinds of knowledge of healing priests and auxiliary priests, in order to make up for the shortcomings of their talents, they continued to study how to streamline the casting and amplification of magic, and even risked being burned at the stake to eavesdrop on the Magister's teachings. Finally, the third priest apprentice selection competition began, and they were shocked by their amazing instantaneous group healing magic skills, and even received an audience from the Pope and gave them the title of Dharma Rank, creating a miracle that the Holy See has been directly promoted from an unranked apprentice to a middle-level priest for a hundred years, and has become a legend that everyone in the Holy See is competing to praise. There was supreme pride in Xuelu's tone at the moment, a pride that she had to fight for her life to protect. Even her body was now precipitated by this feeling, and a slight tremor spread through Cohen's shoulders to her whole body.

Sensing her gaffe and adjusting her emotions slightly, Xuelu continued: "However, things that made the two of them happier followed, not long after the two of them became mid-level healing priests, the crystallization of their love for the two was born, an extremely cute girl, and the birth of a child made the two of them temporarily put aside the research work of healing magic and did everything their parents could give to the extreme. In the eyes of everyone, the girl is the happiest child in this world. A crystal teardrop quietly slid across Xuelu's cheeks, Xuelu hurriedly wiped away her tears, and secretly glanced at Cohen, he still held his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Xuelu pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she wasn't seen by this fool.

"Are you talking about a girl living a happy life?" Cohen suddenly looked up at Xuelu, with an incomprehensible strangeness in his eyes. Xuelu smiled bitterly for a while, gently pulled the blade of grass from Cohen's mouth and played with it in his hand, and after a while continued: " The girl's childhood was indeed quite happy, but when her parents broke through the bottleneck of the high-level healing priest, everything changed, perhaps it was people's long-term flattery, or maybe the pursuit of power and money blinded them, whether it was in the study of magic, or in the teaching of magic, the original starting point of the two was completely changed, they became more enthusiastic about power, and their expectations for girls were increasingly inflated, under the premise of this desire, the girl who was only nine years old was sent to the strictest and most cruel Inquisition for priesthood。 You can never imagine that when the girl stepped on the threshold of the inquisition, the original harmonious and happy life had nothing to do with her, and in the first month of her studies, the girl cried and shouted the names of her parents every day, prayed every day that her parents would take her out of this terrible place, and every day she gritted her teeth in the midst of beatings and insults, for the only glimmer of hope left in her heart, her parents. A piercing fist came from Xuelu's white little hands, the overexerted and faintly pale skin, and the pain like a knife, as if to laugh at herself in some corner of the soul.

Suddenly, a gentle big hand gently put on Xuelu's shoulder, Xuelu slowly turned her head, only to see Cohen still burying his head in his right arm, but his left hand patted his shoulder and said, "What happened later?" Two lines of clear tears slid down Xuelu's cheeks, and Xuelu cried silently: " More than a month later, the girl's parents finally came to see her, when the girl who was scarred and bruised all over her body ran towards her parents, hoping to return to the long-lost warm embrace, an invisible wall of air suddenly appeared among them, the girl hit the wall hard nosebleed, she looked at her parents not far away with an unbelievable face, kept stretching out her little hand to slap the air wall, shouting hoarsely to her parents, and even her little hand was swollen and could not get a response from her parents. The girl finally shouted tired, and slowly slid to the edge of the air wall, muttering her father and mother repeatedly, and her eyes looked at the two people in front of her who had not moved at all with a hint of hope. Then the girl's mother slowly walked up to the wall of air and said something that made the girl completely desperate: 'This filthy little creature should be our daughter, and it makes no sense for an ungifted daughter to come.' After saying that, he waved his hand, and a violent force rolled up the girl and smashed it against the wall, a huge pit appeared instantly, the girl spurted out a mouthful of blood, and slid down the wall weakly, and finally glanced at her parents who disappeared at the corner of the gate, and passed out. Snowdew suddenly hugged Cohen's arm and began to cry out loud.

"Do you know that the girl's name is Emilyda Xuelu, and like you, she thought it was all a dream, and kept struggling and screaming to wake up from the dream and let this strange thing go back to the past!!"

Suddenly, Cohen bent a strong arm around Xuelu's thin waist and hugged her whole person fiercely in his chest, as if he wanted to use all his strength to integrate Xuelu into his body, and a steady voice sounded in Xuelu's ears: "In the future, I will protect you." ”
