The Return of the King Chapter 222: The Story of the Far Traveler (II)
3)
In the winter of 616 in the Dragon calendar, a little black-haired baby came into the world, and her father wept for it and named her "Dora", which means God's gift.
The city she was born in was the city of Krijom, a vibrant city in the Raphael kingdom, and it was peaceful times, which was completely good news for the Mels.
In addition, Dora is the second daughter of the Mels, their first daughter is named "Flothea", three years older than Dora, and at that time she was just a child who didn't understand anything, and it is the nature of every child to be naïve and active.
This is a happy family, every day, the Mels have a big smile on their faces, although life will always be difficult, but because of the arrival of these two lovely daughters, they are always able to face all the challenges positively.
Perhaps, they should have had the best of those times without incident.
Yes, the Mels are ordinary ordinary people, magic is nothing more than an untouchable and unnecessary force for them, they don't need it.
However, magic is everywhere in this world, and sometimes you want to dodge, but you find that the more you dodge, the closer you get to them.
In the summer of 625 in the Dragon calendar, the city of Kriyom was attacked by an unnamed army of retaliatory magicians. On that summer night, they infiltrated the town in full armor, gathered the magic power of dozens of people, and unleashed it in one fell swoop, and instantly most of the city of Krijom was in a sea of fire.
Of course, this group of wicked people in the center has no intention of surviving, but just wants to pull a group of innocent residents before they die.
Cruel to the extreme, pathetic to the extreme.
It was a massacre that displaced many survivors.
The Mel family is on the fringes of the magic explosion, but they are not immune to this man-made disaster.
Poor Mel and his wife were tortured to death by fire in order to protect their two children, but fortunately, they managed to endure all the torment on their own to protect Floria and Dora.
At that time, Floria Mayer was twelve years old and Dora Mayer was nine years old, and after only one night, they would have to live with their last relatives for the rest of their lives.
Floria, who was a little older, also matured a lot of mentally overnight, because reality forced her to take care of herself and Dora.
However, she is only twelve years old, what an age that can easily go astray!
At the same time of maturity, ruthlessness is also what she faces.
When she no longer sees the beautiful world under the protection of her parents, and she gradually understands that the world and the people in this world always look at them differently and sneer at them, she will quickly fall into the idea that only coldness can win the respect of the world.
In the past, she loved all this, loved the world, loved her parents and sister, loved everyone, but after experiencing grief, she saw the reality - the world was not as much she loved her as she thought.
So, in the gentle eyes, Dora was the only one left.
The psychological grief and despair of the first days were the hardest.
The two sisters have no place to live, so they can only look for uninhabited houses or some abandoned houses as temporary shelter every night, fortunately it is summer, even if there is no quilt cover, there is no problem at all, but there will be some mosquitoes and heavy rain, these they have worked hard to overcome, fortunately, the sisters have been in good health since childhood, and there are no serious diseases.
As for food, there are still good Samaritans who usually beg on the street, as long as they don't ask too much.
It was only later, in the damaged and unrepaired city of Kriyom, that people gradually
Gradually tired of the two little girls begging on the street, it has become a common thing to drive them out, the terrible thing is that there will be some ill-intentioned men who will want to attack these two children, fortunately the two children are clever, Floria said to run Dora will follow the girl to run, and then the only fun is to gather.
The alms are getting less and less, the two children are getting thinner and thinner, there is no way, Floria can only do some petty theft to ensure that the two can still live, that is what they have been taught by their parents not to do since childhood, but, in this case, only by living can they think about what is right and what is wrong.
More than once she was found and beaten, Flocia survived and would still bring the food to Dora, Dora asked her what was wrong, she just said that she had fallen, and every time she said this, Dora was willing to believe her, since childhood, Dora was used to believing anyone she relied on, believing everything they said.
Sometimes seeing that Dora still doesn't understand anything at all, Floria is also helpless, but she knows that no matter how much damage she endures, she can't let her sister suffer the slightest grievance.
I couldn't sleep every day, reflecting on what I had done again and again, praying for God's protection, and longing for my parents' forgiveness in heaven.
She is still too young, she just knows what is wrong and what is sin, and she has shallow principles, under which she can do nothing.
Sometimes, when a person is in a desperate situation, he can do anything, and that's because he doesn't have a minimum bottom line, but Fromia, who was born in a well-bred ordinary family, has that principle.
However, the cold winter months are never late because of the poor children.
Abandoned and dilapidated houses are no longer inhabitable, houses that have been left unattended for a long time have new occupants, new houses have been built, but those who are mercenary do not give them the place they deserve, and even are finally expelled from the city of Kriom.
In that town, no one wanted to take them in, even if they were all cute, but no one wanted to take in two little girls who were used to stealing things, and good Samaritans, but they didn't want to take in two little girls at the same time.
Floria knew that Dora couldn't do without her, and she knew she couldn't do without Dora, and that seemed to be her only hope of survival.
Left outside the south gate, they didn't know where to go to spring, so they could only walk blindly, relying on a thin coat, all the way to the south.
City, too far away.
But God didn't seem to think they should end their lives that winter.
He always opens the door to hope when people are most desperate, but walking through that door may be an even more desperate future.
No one hesitates, because no one is not afraid of death.
But what if this opportunity was the last thing she wanted to accept?
Then try to accept it, even if it's a difficult process.
That night, the two sisters waited in a hidden cave for the Grim Reaper, and Dora was frozen to sleep—at this time, closing her eyes was death.
At that moment, a warmth came from the depths of the cave, and Floria glared at her eyes in joy, and crawled deeper and deeper, the more she climbed, the more powerful she became, and before she knew it, her body had been occupied by magic, and it was magic that chose her.
She realized that the magic filled her with power, and she felt the flames beating within her, and the feeling made her almost forget about Dora, who was still on the brink of life and death.
When she returned to Dora in good spirits, she tried to call Dora, shake her, and pat her on the cheek, but to no avail. Tears gushed out in an instant, and she picked up Dora, and found that Dora was like only her soul was left, and that lightness made her blame herself.
She didn't believe that her sister had left her like that, she carried Dora to the depths of the cave, and the magic continued to enter Floria's body, but she could feel that Dora had not changed in the slightest, and there was still no trace of breath.
Her tears were flowing and her mouth kept saying "No, no", but she still came to the end of the cave.
That night, the Grim Reaper made a judgment and took Dora, but he did not choose to take Flosia with him.
That's probably the most desperate.
Floria sat on her knees in the deepest part of the cave with Dora's cold body in her arms, and wept and wept and wept until she could not shed tears, until she could not make a sound, until she fainted in despair.
Miracles, it happened, and the Grim Reaper took Dora a night and sent her back.
Dora Mayer woke up early in the morning, completely unaware of what had happened last night, just didn't understand why her sister was lying on the ground.
She shook Flothea's shoulder, and Flosia woke up from her slumber, but the moment she saw Dora, she took a few steps back.
"What's wrong with you, sister?" asked Dora, staring at her big lovely eyes as she looked at Flosia in bewilderment.
Frosia opened her mouth to speak, but found that she could not make a sound, she looked at Dora, whose hair and eyes had turned purple, and recognized that it was indeed her sister, but she could not say anything.
She loses her voice, and Dora escapes from the Grim Reaper's clutches and transforms into a purple form.
She tried to use her magic and found that her hands could create flames, and at that moment, she couldn't tell if it was a dream or not.
"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Dora clapped her hands when she saw it, and in her eyes, it seemed as if that night did not exist, except that she had never heard Flosia's voice since.
However, what happened that night was something that they really understood after they actually came into contact with the wizarding world.
The hidden cave is a special magical vessel, the Demon Source, which, of course, has a different meaning from the "Dark Demon Source", and in short, it is a way to obtain magical powers.
Each source stored at least one type of mana, and that night they came into contact with a source that stored a type of fire power.
In a sense, each person is a container that can store four types of magic (of course, there are exceptions), and when a person comes into contact with the magic source, there is a certain possibility that the resonance of the magic source will be triggered to form a special price ritual, which can also be an exchange ritual - the person can obtain a kind of magic carried by the magic source and sacrifice one of their potential powers.
That's why Floria survived, trading for fire magic in the Demon Source.
However, what happened that night was a bit more complicated, as to a certain extent, the Demon Source could have gone wrong.
That is, in this passive ritual of cost, an additional ritual of sacrifice takes place, while another ritual of sacrifice creates confusion, with Floria paying the price and Dora becoming the "beneficiary".
That is to say, there were a total of two rituals performed this night, and the two were paid for Flosia's voice and tears, and the first ceremony Flosia exchanged her voice for the magic of fire, and the second Floria exchanged her tears for the magic of sound, but because of the container, the magic of sound entered the half-dead Dora and "resurrected".
Eventually, Flothea's tears turned into special water magic and remained in the cave.
The two sisters also miraculously survived, but Floria lost too much after this incident and went to the other side of herself again.
