Chapter 377: The Way Home
Lanaya looked at Kurori with a blank face, not sure if she didn't want to speak, or if she didn't know what to say.
"Don't look at me like that. Kurori glanced around Lanaya and shouted, "Stand up!"
Lanaya stood up at an extremely slow pace, but even such a simple movement was difficult for her now.
For three days and three nights, she sat on her knees with her legs curled up, and she even forgot that she had legs.
As soon as she got up, the tingling tingling sensation spread to her legs like a raging fire, and she couldn't stand up straight immediately, but continued to kneel on the ground in a slightly lower position, holding the ground with her hands.
Her legs were barely strong, and if she let go of her hands, they might no longer be under her control.
It didn't take long for Lanaya to finally get up straight, but she stumbled a few times at first.
There was no expression on her face, her whole face, along with her clearest eyes, covered in a layer of ash, and her long hair was somewhat disheveled, always swaying with the never-ending heat of the lava land.
A divine successor, the only assassin of the Hidden Sanctuary, Adrion is dead, and she can be considered the strongest in the world of supernatural abilities.
Now it's down to this.
"Did you hear what I said?" asked Kuroli, tilting his head slightly.
Lanaya hesitated for a moment, nodded her head, turned around and squatted down again, and closed the guardian cloak under Adrian's body to the middle, wrapping his whole body inside. Then, with a little force, she bent the long purple cloth and hugged it in front of her.
A heavy feeling of pressure leaned against her shoulder. She didn't want to think about who the person in the cloth tube was, but just because she couldn't see it didn't mean she didn't know.
Reality had been deeply engraved in her mind, seared into her heart for three whole days.
Adrian is dead.
To put it mildly, she and Kurori collaborated to kill her.
Exhaled a cloudy breath and made out the direction. Surrounded by psionic energy, Lanaya sprang to her feet and headed into the depths of the lava land.
The world is a sphere, and the Lava Land is close to the east coast of the Red Flame Continent, and as long as you fly across the middle ocean, you can reach the Xisha Empire.
Once you reach the territory of the Violet Continent, it will be much easier to return to the Hidden Sanctuary.
Ranaya never glanced at the scenery that swept past her, and when she was tired, she rested in place for a while, but she also looked into the distance in a daze, and in her vision without focus, one island became two islands, and one world became two worlds in her eyes.
When she went to the town hotel, she wanted to cover her head and sleep for a long time, but she was not sleepy.
Someone pointed to what she was holding in front of her and asked her what it contained.
She smiled mechanically and said it was love.
-
Ten days later.
In the hall where the quest was issued, the lights were still as bright as usual, but it didn't have the same lively scene as before. In this special training held by Kuroli, some of the eliminated members found their way back, and some did not know where to go.
Those who came back were no longer interested in doing task farming contributions, and rarely appeared here, but in the corner of the window on the far right, a few people were talking about something.
There are different ages among these people, including teenagers, middle-aged people, and even gray-haired old people, if they pass by unknowingly, they may think that they have gathered together in the same house.
"Sturg, you've thought about it, do you really want to challenge the mission here?"
Corey kept warning the young man in front of him with his eyes to be cautious and cautious, but the sunny young man smiled without scruples: "Don't worry, I have a number of things for myself, what other peers can do, why can't I try?"
The arrow god Munn sat leisurely on the chair beside him, smiling all over his face, without the slightest intention of interjecting or stopping.
Ever since these people from Wind Feather City came, the Hidden Sanctuary had been shrouded in a sluggish atmosphere, and it wasn't their reason that the core power of the Hidden Sanctuary was all in the Lava Land.
It is said that he manages this place instead of Kurori, but in fact, there is nothing complicated, and this is the only place with the most people every day, so they often stay here and observe the members who come to hand over the task. However, after more than a month, there have not been a few scenes of large crowds.
Sturg is the top student of the Wind Feather Academy who returned with Rosen a year ago, although he does not have the main career rank, but what his strength is, this former Dean of the Wind Feather Academy knows it well.
"Sturge, hey......" Corey glanced at Sturg with a look of embarrassment, turned his head and sighed, like a mother who couldn't control her child, "Do you know which peer you are comparing yourself to? She's not an ordinary person, she's ......"
Since Corey was facing the window with his back to the main entrance of the hall, he naturally saw a figure walking in unhurriedly.
Corey was dumbfounded, and with the eyes of an old hunter, he instantly recognized that person was the person he was talking about just now!
Isn't Lanaya still in the Lava Lands, why did she suddenly come back?
But then, Corey noticed what Lanaya was holding in front of her, it was huge, and if it was unfolded, it would definitely be larger than Lanaya, and it looked heavy.
Look at the shape......
It can't be a wounded, right?!
The wounded were supposed to be taken to the medical center, but looking at the direction in which Lanaya was walking, it seemed that she was going to guard the army headquarters.
As soon as Corey sensed the clue, Stog was already running happily towards Lanaya.
"Hey!" felt a wind blow on his side, Corey stretched out his hand and pointed to Sturge's back and shouted, but Stogg didn't look back, just shouted in a slightly louder voice, "I'll be back in a moment!"
Speaking of which, Lanaya has long since become a popular idol among the lower members of the Hidden Sanctuary, and Storg is naturally one of them. He came behind Ranaya in three or two steps, followed for a while, but forgot all about what he wanted to ask, and finally he tentatively said, "You...... How are you?"
Lanaya neither stopped nor looked back, nor did she answer Stog's words.
Lawson ...... What about the others?" Sturg felt his cheekiness come in handy, and he moved from behind Lanaya to his side and looked at the purple cloth tube, "Lanaya, you're going in the wrong direction, the dorm is over there, uh...... If you go back to the medical center, turn left. ”
Lanaya continued to walk forward.
"What are you holding?"
"Stay away from me!"
Lanaya finally said the first sentence in more than ten days.
Of course, Stog knew who Lanaya was, the genius who swept the four ultimate missions by himself, how could he dare to confront such a person, and he was immediately stunned by this angry rebuke.
At the same time, Lanaya's feet turned from walking to running, leaving only a series of clear and scattered footsteps in the empty closed corridor.
It took a long time for Sturg to react, and he quickly gave up the idea of catching up, and walked in the direction he came.
In the face of Corry's inquiring eyes, Stog could only shake his head and shrug his shoulders back, muttering, "She seems to be in a bad mood." ”
"Bad?" Corey looked startled and got up from his chair, "so what she has in her hand is ......"
Without a word, Corey didn't dare to make a conclusion, and everything had to be thought of for good, in case there was still a breath.
This time, Corey rushed towards the corridor leading to the headquarters of the Imperial Army, faster than Stogg had just now, and Sturg subconsciously followed, and even Myon stood up, but he floated past.
"Boom!!"
There was no obstacle in front of him, but Corey rubbed his head in pain as if he had hit a wall.
"This kid ...... Seal off the road to the headquarters of the garrison!"
"Is there any other way?" asked Sturge eagerly.
"Yes, yes, from the outside, fly up two hundred meters, and there are windows in the assembly halls of each department of the imperial army. But maybe she'll block those roads too. ”
"Let her go. Munn said lightly.
The teenager and middle-aged still wanted to say something, but no approach could break through the obstacles in the middle, so she had to go.
Lanaya closed all the windows and curtains of the Starry Night Temple, and placed a spatial barrier here. Without light, being in the temple was like being in the night, and even the shadow behind him was gone.
The Stalkers themselves are "shadows", that's what he said.
The door at the end of the door was opened, and after a few narrow bends, it was empty again, and a slightly cold air hit the whole body.
Lanaya paused by the starry pool, gently placing the cloth tube on the ground.
Then she crouched down and unfolded her guard cloak.
Adrian's face was still as white as it had been more than ten days ago, and there was no decomposition on his body, as if he was not a corpse, but really asleep.
Lanaya also wants to believe that he is asleep, because he says he is sleepy.
"It's been thirteen days, it's time to get enough sleep. ”
"Wake up, look at how beautiful this starry sky is. ”
"Don't want to wake up? Are you dreaming of me?"
"Zero five, I'm sixteen, you open your eyes and look at me. ”
As her heart echoed, Lanaya removed the back of her fingers that reached under Adrian's nose and pursed the corners of her lips slightly.
Didn't breathe.
It took a moment for Lanaya to undress Adrian. In short, in her world, people have to be purified after death, and she has followed the customs of that world to this point.
Until Adrien was naked in front of her, she saw the wound on her chest again, and her heart was still like a knife.
Scoop up a scoop of starry night pool water with your palm, and slowly caress every inch of this cold flesh.
"We walk in the night, in search of the light. ”
The blood scab melted with the starry night in the baptism and slid down the body.
"Where there is light, there is us. ”
"We are the ...... of the 'shadow'"
Lanaya's fingertips rested on Adrian's left eyelid, and she couldn't stop trembling slightly.
