Chapter 220: Embracing Under the Moon
The dwarves finally swarmed over as if they had been relieved of their immobilization, supporting each other, examining the wound of the wound. Bridge's daughter said something to them, and the dwarves huddled in the outer circle made way for him, and Bridge was quickly carried out, and his daughter followed closely behind.
A dwarf ran up to Adrian with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, we ......"
"It's okay, we also want to thank you for your hospitality. It's getting late, and it's time for us to go. Adrian laughed.
The dwarf nodded, made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, and waited until they had both walked out before he began to tidy up the table.
The entire town of Moro was immersed in a cool night. At night, there was no one on the street, but most of the lights in every room were on, and no sound could be heard. There were only a few places that looked like healing, and people came and went from time to time, and the pace was hurried.
Two figures slowly moved forward in the street, one only at shoulder level with the other. The slightly shorter figure walked behind a slightly taller figure, head slightly bowed, and had not spoken for some reason.
"You...... Do you really agree with me going there?" Lanaya began.
"I said I don't agree, will you not go?"
Lanaya was stunned. She knew that Adrion didn't want her to get all the pages back sooner, and Adrion had said that on that day, although the power of the Holy Spirit could be restored, the seal would be completely broken, and the Demon Realm, the Demon Abyss, and the Magical Realm where she was now would be connected into an uninterrupted whole, and at that time, the world would be in chaos.
And the Holy Spirit's ability is also limited, all she can do is to exchange a thousand years of peace for the Paranormal Realm, as long as this thousand years pass, all peace will be shattered. At that point, if you still don't regain your strength, you won't have a chance.
There are less than seventeen years left for Lanaya. How could she not remember how thick her notebook was, which had been recorded for three whole years?
The crippled consciousness floated quietly in the mental space, silent and silent......
"No, it won't. Lanaya whispered. She realized that one thing, whether to do it or not to do it, the end is a tragic helplessness. I'm afraid no one will understand this kind of helplessness.
What no one understands is called loneliness.
"What will you become when that day comes?" asked Lanaya.
"Who knows. Adrian let out a slight wry smile, as if the helplessness in his heart was no less than that of Lanaya.
"You say, will God be lonely?"
"Who knows......" Adrian suddenly stopped, he slowly turned his head, and the back that had been left behind turned into a side face. The coiled tattoo lines on his left eyelid seem to be more complex, winding and twisting, easily reminiscent of bumpy memories.
With his back to the moon that was close in front of him, his expression was a little blurred.
"You're not a god, how do you know if a god will be lonely?"
Lanaya frowned slightly, narrowing her eyes. The more a person knows, the more things one can discover that they don't know. There was so much that Lanaya didn't know. The last thing she could figure out was why Adrian was doing this to her. When she tried to ask many times but still couldn't get an answer, this question slowly settled in her heart.
She was afraid that day would come, she was afraid that it would be like the reappearance of the war of gods thousands of years ago, the entire continent would be devastated, thousands of races would lose their homes, and the glory of the past would become a relic.
It's like the moonlit stone formation not far away.
"We ...... Will you become a god?"
Adrian burst out laughing.
"We are just God's successors, poor people played by fate. Forever...... You will never become a god. Adrian asked, "Do you want to be a god that much?"
"No!" Lanaya replied firmly, what she wanted most was to return to the original world and live her most normal life. She missed the Violet Archive, the Grandpa Baush who taught him the Ancient Book of Space Magic, and the Maple Leaf Forest that she couldn't walk through.
She saw the moon, but ah, this moon is not the one she saw in her hometown, right?
Lanaya suddenly wanted to cry. She was not wronged, nor was she heartbroken, although she could not have been wronged any more. What she felt was the endless oppression of fate, the trajectory of her life could not be controlled by herself, fate sneered and pulled her lifeline to an unknown path of no return, but she had no way at all.
There's nothing more frustrating than that.
"What's so good about God? God can't get rid of fate, right? Didn't the Holy Spirit also fall?"
Adri's heart tightened suddenly, his brow furrowed, the emotions in his eyes extremely mixed. There is hatred and condemnation, not only against the heinous demon god, but also for oneself.
"I'm really scared...... Ever since I came to the Stealth Department and you told me that, I've been thinking that on that day, you'll be standing on the walls of the city with thousands of troops from the Demon Abyss to declare war on me...... Where the strong soldiers passed, all the buildings were smashed into ruins, and innocent people fell in the flames of battle, never to be blinded......" Lanaya's voice choked a little, she shook her head desperately, her eyes clearer than before, but there were slight ripples.
"I don't want to face that...... Really don't want to ......."
Adrian couldn't bear to see Lanaya like this anymore, and reached out and took Lanaya into her chest.
The girl who was still holding back cried even more.
"I'm sorry, forgive me and I can only say I'm sorry. As long as I can control it, I will never do anything like that. If...... If I did that, that person wouldn't be me anymore......"
Any words are as brittle as thin paper, and Adrian feels even more so, how does Lanaya know what kind of hardship he is hiding? He has betrayed his original mission, he is tired, and he doesn't want to betray the girl in front of him anymore.
Adrian was slightly stunned as he felt Lanaya's hands slowly climb up the fabric behind him, and then hugged him tightly.
He shook his head lightly and sighed, and only said after a long time: "If you are willing to follow me to where I want to go, then I will accompany you wherever you want to go." β
Lanaya looked up, a few shapeless tear stains on her face, and a little surprise in her eyes.
"The league is not as important as you, you can grow strong as well. Until then, I will protect you. β
"What if you suddenly change your mind?"
"As I said, if I really became like that, it wouldn't be me anymore. β
What could be more convincing than action? Adrian has no less protection for Lanaya, when she was besieged by the Garcia family, when she fell from a fifty-meter-high watchtower when she was at her most vulnerable, when the Visionpupil Witch slashed down with a knife...... Protection, once it accumulates, becomes real trust, even if the ending will ruin everything, but what does that have to do with Adrian?
Adrian has always been the one willing to protect Lanaya.
Although for Lanaya, this protection came for no reason. But she had already endured so much alone, she had been wandering around for so long, she had borne so much, she needed a harbor.
Or perhaps, the same kind are connected by the same fate. No one knows Lanaya better than Adrian other than Ranaya herself.
What divine sense, what artifact, those secrets that can't be told to ordinary people, for Adrian, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
Lanaya looked at Adrien in a daze for a long time, and was too embarrassed to say the usual words, "I want to go to Stone Henge." β
She had been rejected many times, and although she knew that if she said it this time, she would definitely not be rejected again, but she still couldn't say it.
Can't say why.
The corners of Adrian's mouth gradually raised, as if he could see what Lanaya was thinking, and he took Lanaya's hand as if he were holding his beloved, leading her in the direction of the stone henge.
......
The stone henge under the moon looks a little bleak. The pillars stood upright or broken in the middle, the tallest could even pierce the clouds, and the shortest could stand on them with a slight leap.
The whole site is roughly circular, extremely wide, a circle of circular stairs extends from the periphery to the middle, in the bottom depression, there seems to be a stone monument with a special appearance, but it is too far away to see clearly.
Lanaya frowned, seeing the view, she remembered some bad old days.
It was as if she had seen the four soul mages wrapped in pitch-black cloaks that day, heard the heavy echo of the chains shaking, and smelled the smell of decay that did not belong to this world.
The dwarves say it's a forbidden place, but there's not even a single guard here. From time to time, a few crows flew to the top of the stone pillar and cried a few times.
The two paused for a moment, then stepped forward.
"Dingβ"
A sharp, but not harsh, crunch floated out, followed by a second, and a third, and at regular intervals, ethereal and slightly eerie in the stillness of the night.
As they got closer to the stone tablet in the middle, the sound gradually increased, until they came to the stone tablet and finally realized what it was.
At the top of the stele, a thin pale golden thread was attached, and the thin thread was still emitting light, and just by looking at it, you could know how powerful the energy contained in it. At the bottom of the thin line, a piece of transparent crystal was attached, and since they heard the sound, this whole body had no wind and automatically, swinging from side to side, and every time it touched the protruding stone wall on the left and right, it would make a crisp sound.
"Isn't there going to be a shocking movement later?" said Lanaya, halfway through her hand, suddenly stopping, thinking to herself.
