"In the future, I will protect you!"

When Cohen used all his strength to hug Xuelu and say this, the softest place in Xuelu's heart, which was originally lying in his arms and weeping in pain, was touched again, and the two small hands that were constricted in front of Cohen's chest slowly hugged Cohen's back, and an indescribable feeling gradually permeated her whole body, she raised her little head to look at the slightly immature cheeks, and said softly: "Thank you!"

Time passed minute by minute, but the two who hugged each other tightly felt that the atmosphere was slowly becoming a little weird, Xuelu even clearly felt her heartbeat accelerating, I didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hug a person of the opposite sex, when did it start, at this moment, Xuelu was really confused.

"Can you tell me what happened next?" Cohen asked softly, rubbing Snowdew's shoulder.

Xuelu nodded obediently, gently pushed away Cohen's arms, wiped the tears on her little face, sat on the grass again, calmed down for a while, and said: "After that day, I practiced like crazy, practicing day and night, in order to improve my strength and clear obstacles, I did not hesitate to push one partner after another into the abyss, and the other is the people who have hurt me, I secretly swore that I must make them pay a heavy price, under this psychological suggestion, the whole person's personality has become dark and indifferent." It was because of this transformation that when we completed our junior priesthood, Connie and I were the only ones who walked out of the Inquisition alive. Speaking of this, Xuelu looked at Cohen and said with a smile: "Will you be scared of me like this?"

Cohen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "That's your fate, it's the path you chose, I don't have the right to make irresponsible remarks, I only know that I will do my best to protect you now and you in the future, even if I try my life." After saying that, Cohen also sat next to Xuelu, silently holding her little hand, looking into the distance and being silent. Xuelu seemed to sense the distress in Cohen's heart, and after rubbing her small hand in the wide palm for a while, she slowly opened and clasped her fingers.

Xuelu slowly leaned on Cohen's shoulder and continued: " After the priest graduated, I took the initiative to participate in the selection and elimination of the Inquisition, at that time I was the weakest and youngest of all the contestants, that is, this knockout match, I was a junior auxiliary priest stumbling into the quarterfinals, and at the same time unexpectedly opened the double talent, and got the favor of the eternal fangs, and then for some reason I rejected them, for which they were trapped in the small black room of the Inquisition for three days, I thought that I would not escape death after doing too many evils, but I didn't expect that after three days, they just sealed a trace of my soul breath, and swore that I would never betray the Holy See, and then let me go。 ”

"How can I hear your tone full of doubt?" Cohen asked suddenly.

"Because no one has ever been able to get out of the little dark room alive, the only difference is that the Inquisition will kill you in what name, which is also something that the inquisitors are happy to do, to give the dead people all kinds of inexplicable charges, and then put them on the guillotine, and watch their desperate eyes gradually lose their life, is the greatest pleasure of this group of old perverts. Xuelu thought of the outrageous group of strong beings in the inquisition, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

"It's all over!" Cohen felt a slight tremor in Xuelu's body, and once again hugged Xuelu's petite body in his arms, and continued, "And then you stayed in the Holy See of Mirumis, and didn't go to the Mercenary Guild to serve as a resident priest?"

Xuelu shook her head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Originally, I also planned to stay away from the Holy See and find a mercenary union in a small county to live a few years of ordinary life, hoping to let time dilute this memory. Before leaving, I couldn't help but sneak back home, wanting to take a look at the pair of vicious parents from afar, but what I didn't expect was that the magician's manor where I lived when I was a child turned into a ruin, and after I tried my best to find out, there was a fire here two years ago, and all the people in the magician's manor were burned to death. But do you know that my parents were already high-level mages, and they could actually let a fire kill them? There must be something unknown going on here, although they did this to me, but when I heard the news of their death, I still couldn't accept the news, I had to find out the hidden truth. ”

Xue Lu sighed and continued: "Later, with the help of my tutor, I stayed in the Holy See as an honorary scholar of the research institute, and occasionally took some assignments from Connie to make money, after all, it will inevitably cost money to find out the news. As for the future, you know what will happen in the future, and I will go with you to Crescent Lake under Connie's introduction, and I will go all the way here. Xuelu said this, suddenly exhaled a long breath, pushed away Cohen's arm, stood up and moved twice, and said: "Okay, the story is over, and the things I hide in my heart are also known to you, but I am in a much more comfortable mood now, I can't find an audience as good as you before, and I have to support everything by myself, who called me a girl with a temperament like ice in the eyes of others." ”

Cohen looked at Xuelu with a wry smile, he really didn't know how to comfort her, just when he wanted to say something to cheer Xuelu up, Xuelu suddenly patted his forehead vigorously and said: "Actually, I told you my own story, just to let you understand, no matter what happens, don't run away from retreating, let alone be arrogant, maybe everything that happened today makes you feel that it is false, but who can tell the definition of truth and falsehood for a while?" In fact, in my heart, I want my parents to tell me in person that they had other difficulties for me back then, which is also the motivation that supports me to keep going. Because I firmly believe that they are good by nature, there must be a reason why they are so cruel to me. If the past was a dream, I would end this nightmare with my own hands, but only if I had the strength to shatter the dream and regain its reality. ”

"Thank you!" Cohen suddenly grabbed Xuelu's hands, and the confusion in his eyes faded, "I know how to face myself, maybe the combat power displayed in the underground river at that time is not my true ability, but as long as I keep practicing and constantly improving my ability, one day I will convince everyone with my own strength." Xuelu nodded happily, and finally smiled again, and said with a smile: "You can get out of this knot, which proves that you have matured, and many martial artists will feel inferior because of their weak combat strength, so that the future life will be depressed and die of nothing." But I'm sure Cohen wouldn't be that kind of person, and now it seems that my vision is still good. ”

Hearing Xuelu's praise, Cohen was a little excited, after all, what he lacked now was a sense of identity, he held Xuelu's little hand tightly, and said excitedly: "I don't know how to thank you, maybe my current strength is really small, when I finish this matter explained by the patriarch, I will definitely accompany you to find the whereabouts of your parents and find the long-awaited answer in your heart." Xuelu, can you travel with me to the Noah Continent?"

Xuelu smiled happily, smiled brightly, and a wisp of tears of joy slipped from the corner of her eyes, because at this moment, the seed buried under the ice finally germinated, the thriving shoots broke through the layers of ice, and the tender green with endless vitality permeated Xuelu's heart, the warmth that only appeared when she was held and played by her mother when she was a child, now permeated the whole person's body and mind.

"I promise you, no matter what difficulties and dangers, I will be with you!" After hesitating for a while, he gently stood on his heels, closed his eyes, and his soft lips slid across Cohen's lips like a dragonfly, and before Cohen could react, he pushed Cohen away with a smile and said angrily: "Forget that you haven't participated in the coming-of-age ceremony yet, a little kid can't kiss randomly, I'll go back first!"

Cohen was completely stunned at this time, and muttered to himself: "It's miserable, I'm in love with a human girl, and I can't give the patriarch death this time." At this time, what Cohen's mind kept recalling was a passage that Carter warned all the tribesmen: Don't love humans, the difference in life span between each other is 108,000 miles, and the short decades of human beings are just a small fragment of the long years for the elves. The so-called love affair is destined to end in tragedy, so for the sake of your lover, it is strictly forbidden for elves to marry with other races.

While Cohen was thinking about it, Xuelu, who was walking briskly back to the hotel, had his thoughts back to the last words Cohen said before he disappeared when he left the boulder arch of the underground cavern that day: "I hope you and Cohen can love each other, don't worry about the length of life, as long as you love each other, miracles will definitely happen." Take care, Xuelu!"

"It seems that I'm still a little charming, hehe!" The result now is naturally that the relationship between the two has become closer sharply, and Xuelu laughed happily. Behind her, Cohen looked a little lost and followed Xuelu towards the hotel.

When the figures of the two disappeared around the corner of the hotel gate, on a mountain peak far away from the gold digger's station, a black shadow slowly emerged, and countless light clusters flashing black gradually merged together, and a figure loomed in it, it was the cold woman who had transformed into the dark nebula in the underground cave that day.

"It seems that the old guy has also been tossed and fallen asleep again, the five-year covenant, it seems that I also have to speed up the time to rush to the heir's side, so as not to be crushed by the old guy in the future, I hope that this elf named Cohen will not let me down after five years, otherwise I don't have to wait for the space of the gods to open, I will let his bones disappear first, without the interference of the old guy, that thing is not in the bag!!? The cold woman seemed to be very happy, after all, she had been sealed in the lava lake for so many years, and now she was able to break free from the seal and leak a ray of consciousness, which made this troubled world even more variable.

"And that big man named Coria, whether he can become my pawn depends on whether you have the comprehension to devour the dark demonic crystal, I'm really looking forward to it, hahaha!" With the laughter that gradually echoed, the figure of the cold woman gradually disappeared on the mountain peak, disappearing without a trace.
