Chapter 4 What is Love?
"Falling?"
Lilith hummed softly. "Yes. Aren't you curious? Bethlehem, why did our homeland come to this? ”
Luo Jia licked her lips, feeling that the other party's tone was a bit like when Fogham wanted to accomplish something. At this time, of course, it is best to break ten like Shelley, at least not to be brought into the rhythm of the other party.
But...... Well, he really didn't want to miss it. The young original body was discouraged, and as he pondered the words, the girl opposite shook her head.
"You're not good at hiding your mind." She said.
"I don't like that." He said stubbornly, ashamed that he was so easily seen through.
"But you shouted almost in my ear, and the voice was as fast as a spark." Lilith said softly, "You should learn to control it, if it weren't for the sound of my heart and the screams of the Void Predators, your longing would have almost made me curious about the tragedy I knew." ”
There was pure curiosity in her eyes. "Are you the only one who has such a hardened companion?"
Luo Jia's eyebrows furrowed. "What?"
Lilith put down her teacup. "Resistant to you...... There are not many erosions. ”
"Erosion?"
"Hmm."
"I don't like that word." His mouth pursed as if he had tasted something bitter.
"But it's appropriate." She said softly, refilling a glass of water for the other party.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I may be different from ordinary people, but I will be nurtured the same, I will be hurt and even bleed, and that's all I have learned." Luo Jia said, his voice becoming lilt.
"If I'm going to hurt someone unintentionally, let me know."
It's like a child. Lilith thought. So easy to manipulate, simple, unaware, and innate compassion......
But that's all it takes.
In her eyes, what should have been Narek was a blood-stained warrior with flesh and armor, the mark on her right shoulder armor scraped away. The flesh of his face fell off, revealing a skull frozen in a howling stance. A sword entwined with thunder pierced his throat, but the howl still echoed for a long time, with a mournful poignancy that almost made her eardrums bleed.
"Legion ......" screamed to the bone, "O'Leary......"
And next to the ...... She saw gilded spells, blending into swirling vortices that swirled at speeds that were difficult to catch. The occasional glimpse of a bizarre and distorted sentence filled with the half-fearful praise of the country fools for their imaginary gods.
Suddenly, the figure of the half-grown child reappeared, albeit so faint that it was almost invisible. A giant made of flames struggled in the silhouette of a child no taller than his own calf, like a beast stepping on a trap.
I can't think of it...... I have to explain the nature of the other person to such a being.
The patron of inspiration and art sighed.
Luo Jia's inner voice was not as sharp as that of its kind, it slowly penetrated into her mind like water, telling her that the existence in front of her was flesh and blood, a human being, a part of ordinary things, and that everything in front of her was nothing different. If it weren't for the mask I wore, I'm afraid I would have collapsed because of the tearing of cognition.
"Do you know desire?"
The confusion in those eyes made Lilith almost sigh again. Even if you can bear it, it doesn't mean that the feeling of mental tearing is very comfortable. If the real girl god is here, of course he won't care. But what I wear is just a more elaborate war mask.
"Mortal desires, big or small, need to be translated into reality by action. Like what...... To pour this glass of water on the table, you first need to move your wrist. ”
She slowly tilted the rim of the cup to let a little water out. "Of course, they can also command others and use machinery, but at the end of the day, they still have to move."
"And for the more gifted – I'm not talking about the inspiration for numbers or engravings, but for the more intimate with the spiritual world, they can skip the action step and go straight to what they want."
A puff of white gas came out of the cup, and the remaining half of the glass of water had condensed into clear ice in silence.
"Except for the trick of turning water into ice and making someone fall in love with you. We can also murder kings, subvert cities, and even tear apart the earth's crust to darken the skies and the sun and moon. Lilith pressed her slender finger to her temple and said to the slightly discolored Roga.
"But we are just children playing in the vast ocean of the other world. And you are the beast that roams in it, and your desires are interference with the present world. Those ordinary souls, disturbed by your unintentional outpouring of desires, do what you want.
Just like the daily ventilation of giant whales, it will create a vortex that will never be recovered for fish and shrimp. Oh – you're out of control. Lilith stared indifferently at the tongue of fire that suddenly rose in her hand, and in an instant the teacup silently burned to ashes.
There was a crackling sound in the shrine, and the eternal flame shook a few times. "Please calm down and contain the destruction of your forces as much as possible. Although Asoyan's protection still protects the place, the power of the sacred fire is only a remnant of its echoes. Manpower is exhausted at times, and so is God. ”
The violet eyes lifted up again, staring at Lilith with a chilling emotion for the first time. "Lilith of Bethlehem, thank you for your counsel. Would you like to give me another answer? ”
She bowed slightly. "I know everything."
"Can an ordinary woman of Colchis, a mother with a dead heart, answer the request of an inhuman thing to nurse a child after being robbed to a strange and terrifying place? and to protect him, to protect him, and to abandon the world easily after he has regarded him as indispensable......"
His voice faded down. "And even when he tried to save her life, he saw only disgust and fear?"
There was a long silence, and for a long time, a pleasant female voice sounded. "What did she say to you at the end of her life?"
"Monster ......," Luo Jia said tremblingly, as if every word was stabbing his tongue, and the nails were digging deep into his palms, "I had let the bleeding stop, but she said ...... Son of the devil, let me get out of here. ”
"Ah...... She is perceptive and can even be intellectual. I've seen many wiser people being manipulated with their minds until their souls are gone. ”
Lilith smiled, tears blurring her vision. She fell into an ice cave, her soul was shaken by the grief that did not belong to her, and she was forced to mourn unbearably. "Young King, even if you don't want to admit it, like all things, love ...... It's just something for beings like you to play with. ”
