Chapter 7: The Quasi-King

"I assure you, I never knew about this before." Luo Jia finally found her voice. Lilith's sad and joyless expression suddenly became dangerous. "One of my ...... A friend has said that prophecy is a tool that fate uses to play with believers. ”

He searched for words, and part of his heart was angry and even spit on it. Why would he defend himself to a stranger? Isn't it their innate duty to be clear-headed? Does he have to prove himself over and over again in order to survive?

…… Well, he needs to. Luo Jia's breath froze. People only care about what something looks like, not what it is.

That's fair. He thought sullenly. He doesn't understand people, and people don't understand him. Although it still did not alleviate the unhappiness.

"No need to be impatient." Lilith held out a hand, blocking his next explanation. "So far, I'm afraid we're all just playthings for the Queen's amusement. You should also understand how distorted the pleasure in her eyes is. So, would you like to cooperate? ”

Her expression was sincere, enough to inspire unwarranted trust, not to mention that her words were indeed well-founded. Luo Jia wanted to agree...... But Shelley's voice appeared suddenly, and the wisps of it wrapped around his mind.

Evil thoughts are not necessary for evil deeds. If we didn't do things right, we wouldn't exist. ”

He raised his hand and slowly put it back on the armrest.

"My companion and I just happened to pass by, and since there is no target for us here, the so-called queen has no contact with us. We will leave immediately so that the prophecy does not come true. ”

Didn't wait for Lilith's response. He jumped out of the unsuitable chair and stepped back on solid ground. "Let's go, Narek. Farewell to you as well, and hope that your story will have a happy ending. ”

The clanging of Narek's armor followed. Luo Jia suppressed the discomfort in her heart. He didn't hate Lilith, and he wasn't unmoved by the story. But what she said was too obscure, and there were obviously many parts that were deliberately hidden.

Concealment does not lead to cooperation. Victor and Fogham may not mind tasting each other's blood at all, but they know each other well enough to deliver their backs. In this regard, he felt the need to learn from his guardians.

Six-step, five-step, four-step...... He silently counted the distance between himself and the threshold. If Lilith explained to herself before stepping out, he would have been willing to listen. If she misses the opportunity, he can only regret it.

"Please stop." With only one step left, Lilith spoke.

Luo Jia stopped where he was, slowly turned around, and put the patience he could feel on his face. Yes, that's it, Roga, you're doing a great job, even Vogrim will praise you. Although he is always complimenting you.

He waited for an apology, or an explanation, and prepared a strategy for it. However, as the Terra proverb goes: good luck goes alone, bad news comes together. Today's accidents are one after another.

Before he could hear Lilith's voice, the commotion in the distance answered him first. Narek stepped forward sharply, listening for a moment: "It's weapons and shouts of killing...... he sniffed the air, his expression determined. "Someone is banging on the blade, and they're excited, they're agitated, they're agitated, they're even ...... Impatient. ”

"Not bad at all." Lilith sat calmly in place. "They are none other than the Howling Banshees of the Temple of Death Howl, Kane's Vicious Bride. Young kings, please do not step out of this door, for they long for death, especially yours. ”

A cold soaked through Luo Jia's limbs, not out of fear, and death was not enough to intimidate the young primordial. It was anger, which was only fervented by the kindness that had been done before. His eyes widened, unaware that his face had completely faded from blood.

"You're threatening me." He hissed.

"Absolutely not." She shook her head, "I'm trying to stop this from happening. ”

Luo Jia stared at the girl in disgust. "You can do without it and see how it goes."

"Please don't be childish, Young King. The brides of Kane are not something I can stop, they are as crazy as their own gods. ”

"As you say." A voice said coldly in an unknown language, "Then did our bright-eyed maiden god see any good way?" ”

Roga took a step back and stepped back to Narek's side, the Grail Knight having already raised the Lightning Strike Stone. He watched warily at the new female warriors who appeared at the door. Their armor is a pleasing blend of bone white and tender green, light and snuggling, outlining excessively slender curves.

Unlike their elegant armor, their countenances were almost frozen in anger and madness, and their helmets were not visible in the crooks of their arms or on their heads. Even though the scarred faces of many of the warriors were exposed to the air, as if eager to be shot. They stared at Luo Jia with bad intentions, their weapons clanging and spitting out unfamiliar language, and Luo Jia could guess from the tone of his voice and his expression that it was not a good word.

At the head of the line, the tall woman who had just spoken, raised her sword, and the noise fell silent, but it still couldn't stop the malicious glances that were scattered and scattered. The dark-skinned girl, with her long bright red hair tied up high, glanced at Luo Jia and the two of them indifferently, and then turned to Lilith.

"You have deliberately tried to stop us, and even allowed a foreign race to desecrate the flames of the God King." She switched back to Colchis lingua franca, but still had a strange accent. A scar from the right eye to the lower jaw writhed as he spoke, adding to the heroic air of his glamorous appearance.

The long skirt dragged to the ground, and the look of the girl with black hair remained unchanged. "First of all, Helribben, we are of the same race as all the Corchis, and our souls have the same texture. Secondly, you know I can't do that. It was the flames of Asoyan who chose him, and I just obeyed the edict. ”

"But Asoyan is dead!" Helliben swung his sword in exasperation, "You could have stopped it. But you have made the messenger of the harlot a candidate for our eternal king, and you are a genius. ”

"Be careful with what you say, Helribben." Lilith frowned slightly, "The young king is an important node in fate, but he is not an accomplice of the Insatiable Queen, I can feel it." ”

The female warrior snorted. "I can call it whatever I like, she trampled on our home five times, why should I be boring polite? I'm not like you, Lilith, indulging in frivolous fantasies and delusions. ”

"You know I'm always right."

"That's why I'm still standing here talking to you."

"Take back your sword, and I will not ask you to bow down to the Eternal King."

"You may cut off my head according to the law, and put it in the axe behind the kingβ€”if you can find them in Bethlehem."

"Shut your tongue, Helribben, you know you can't splash the blood of a king in the temple, even a would-be king."

"The gods and the law are dead!" Helriben jerked his sword up, the tip of it pointed at Lilith's throat. The latter looked calm. "But your faith in them is not dead, otherwise why would you wander with us in this withered and desolate city?"

The female warrior snorted and put her sword down. "I'm just here to kill more slaves of whoress. Say, what do you want me to do? ”

"Send our prospective king to the inner city." Lilith said softly.
