“…… Shelley? Luo Jia asked dryly. What he didn't know was that in the middle of the desert, a white-haired guy made an irrepressible and unexplained nasal voice.

"Look how surprised this little guy is, oh my God, hurry up and hug him." Fogham wiped the corners of his eyes, "He hasn't slept in a real bed in almost two weeks, and he hasn't had a good morning kiss. ”

"You really didn't think about his motives for locking the door every morning, or did you pretend." Victor asked faintly.

"It's normal for a child to have a little bit of his own thoughts." Vogrim graciously replied, "As a family, most problems can be solved by making sure that we still love each other. ”

"The remaining one percent." Shelley quietly reversed the direction of the popcorn bucket so that the caramel-flavored side was facing the phoenix.

Fogham was still looking at the projection, and without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed a handful of salted cream popcorn. "It didn't help to think about it – I'm sure he's grown ten centimeters taller, and the kids are always jumping around without noticing."

Fortunately, the little protozoa didn't know the comments of the three adults in the distance. So he was still a little uncomfortable with Shelley's hug. Her body was warm and soft, but when he touched her body, his keen senses could sense the heat on the other's skin slowly passing away from moment to moment, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"How are you doing?" Shelley lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek and forehead, his fingers inserting his short jagged hair and brushing it. "Your hair changes a lot."

"They grow fast." Luo Jia stared at his nose. "How is she?"

They all know who this refers to.

"She's done her job." Shelley replied, holding Roga's face and half-forcing him to look at him. "That's good, Roga, you'll understand later."

The original body stared at the overly familiar look on his already familiar face, and realized that the goddess's eyes were not black, but a warm dark brown, which did not save him from the strange sense of dislocation.

Without saying a word, Helriben got up and came to him, got down on one knee, lowered his head, and exposed the fragile back of his neck. "Hail to you, our Eternal King."

"Please don't do that." Luo Jia pleaded softly.

"It's courtesy." Helliburn said with a blank look as if he had never raised the blade against the Original. "What does the God-King have to say?"

From this angle, Luo Jia could only see her bright red ponytail and the leather armor that wrapped her back, and she couldn't imagine the other party's expression. Is it obedience, or is it full of anticipation, expecting to hear God's will from his mouth, even though he knows that the gods will still disappear? Is she longing for the protection of God's will?

"There is no god king left." He began to feel guilty about the words that came out. "There is only the rebirth of the god of the dead."

Then he recounted in detail every detail from the moment he entered the mirage, every word that Enid said, without concealment or whitewashing. Helribburn remained motionless the whole time. In the end, he was a little nervous to tell the other party where the old woman's sword belonged now.

"That's all I know." He ended with this.

Helriben's tense back slowly shuddered. "I can feel the sincerity in your words, and I believe in you. That's a ......."

Luo Jia couldn't help but take a half step back, Shelley's hand resting on his shoulder.

“…… Delightful. ”

The little primordial opened his mouth and watched the head of the banshee raise his head, his face full of irrepressible joy. She licked the corner of her mouth. "Why are you so surprised? We had finished Bethlehem once with our own hands, so why would we regret her long overdue end? Need I tell you how many throats I cut for the fifth time? ”

She narrowed her eyes, and there was a gaudy bloodthirsty smell. "It is enough to be drunk by our newborn God, and not to continue to be tormented by the harlot, and even to take revenge on her for her sins against us, my king. As for the 65 million years, the past and the stars, I don't care at all. Kane taught me to kill and to be angry, and all I need is both. ”

Helriben lowered her head again, this time looking a lot more sincere. "Since God has chosen you for us, then we are yours. If you shed the blood of our great enemy, we will shed your blood. You give us death, and we offer you death. ”

"I'm ......" Luo Jia stammered, he felt his leg a little weak, maybe the sword was too heavy. Please get up...... Hellyburn. ”

"Do as you wish." Hellibon got up and walked lightly behind the Original, being glanced at by Narek as he meditated. The female warrior apparently understood this as hostility, or that she just wanted to fight a fire. She arched her back slightly like a cheetah, staring at the other's bleeding hand with an unkind expression. "Knight of the Holy Grail, shedding blood here is not for Kane."

"Isn't Kane dead?" Narek asked, a little dazed.

Roga heard Shelley let out a suppressed cough.

"I was wrong...... The Grail Knight," Helriben was on the verge of biting the title out of blood, so much so that Roga began to worry that she was crushing that white tooth. "Your souls are the only thing filthy than blood, spurned by the god of the bloody hand."

"Oh." Narek nodded.

Helry pulled out his short sword back into his waist, "In the name of Kane's rage—"

"Don't make a fuss, ma'am." Shelley stretched out a hand and pressed it lightly on the other's wrist. "You know of no Knight of the Holy Grail who can walk out of the flame unharmed. I'm afraid this warrior just took the scolding of the city of skulls seriously. ”

"He claimed that the Knight of the Grail was just trying to find the Grail Lady, and he even stabbed her." Luo Jia added in a whisper next to him, "But is this original swearing?" ”

"Later, I can introduce you to the history of religion, so that you can understand what a long human tradition it is to turn pagan gods into curses." Shelley said calmly, "As far as I know, the Holy Grail Lady is nothing more than an incarnation of the Insatiable Queen, and given the great achievements of the Expedition to the City of Skulls, it is not unreasonable that the relationship will be strained. She smiled at Hurley's piercing eyes.

Just known. Shelley added in his heart, feeling that he had chosen the right body this time.

"Of course I know, Narek the Lost, your reputation is resounding in Colchis." Helriben said coldly, "When you claimed to be a convert to the Holy Grail, my little banshee was a little nervous. Until you kill a team of Knights of Oath who are ecstatic and go to defect. She smacked disdain. They claim to conquer the city of Lower Bethlehem for the queen under your leadership. ”

"I remember." Narek was still so unfazed. "They told me that the end of all revelation was in this city."

"Then you see." Helriben stretched out his hand to show him the way behind him, the streets outside the temple gate still hollow, the cool breeze rolling through layers of richly colored drapes, "There's nothing here but the past. ”

The tall warrior nodded. "I see, I'll keep looking."

"What?"

"My mission." "Only I can do it," he said, "only I can do it." ”

Helriben frowned, a face that was forever occupied by anger with a strange emotion. "The shards of Kane's madness are on it...... It's unbelievable. ”

Luo Jia looked at Narek, and didn't know why he suddenly envied the other party slightly, until he was nodded on the forehead by Shelley. "I see." He replied with a lack of interest.

"But you're still not happy." Shelley said, letting go of his face and letting the Primordial begin to hang its head again.

"I didn't. All was well, I saw something that called himself the god of the dead, heard something that might make sense but was still out of reach, and got a sword. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and tried to show it, but he didn't lift it, just shook it from the tip of the sword. Lady Lilith has not failed her god either. Everything was fine. ”

He repeated. "Everything was fine, it couldn't have been better."

"You shouldn't have convinced me." Shelley said quietly, and Luo Jia could still hear the timbre that belonged to Lilith. "You should convince yourself."

"Convince yourself ......"

"Yes, when you claim something, you must first convince yourself. If everything is fine, why are you upset? She asked again.

"It doesn't matter......"

"It's important." Roga could hear something unmistakable beneath Shelley's gentle voice. "Use your emotions to correct the standards by which you behave, not how they should be. Now, tell me, why are you sad? ”

Luo Jia broke the jar and let her pull herself into her arms. A muffled voice came from Shelley's chest: "I just feel ...... It shouldn't be, but I can't tell. ”

"You're sad because you've realized that even if you do the right thing, you still end up bleeding, don't you?"

“…… Well, I hate being deceived, but they, but Lilith, and even those gods ......"

He grumbled for a long time, and finally said softly, "They are pitiful...... I don't know whether to say that or not. They didn't hesitate, but I still felt ......"

A hand fell on his head. "I understand."

"This kind of thing has happened many times, if you don't want to shed blood, you have to shed blood first, and if you don't want people to be killed, you have to kill people first. Blood is our most basic bargaining chip in the face of this universe. It doesn't matter who it belongs to, as long as you catch it, it's yours. As long as you continue to sit at the table and play, there is no game that can go without blood, only big or small problems. ”

Her voice was strangely gentle. "Lilith came to the table today for herself, and she won. Remember this feeling and let it guide you on your path, or fall into hell because of gains and losses...... Who knows, gamblers never win. ”
