......
Meisa's already haggard face turned even paler, her body trembled slightly, and the words hit her already fragile heart like a hammer, making her feel like she was going to suffocate......
Kai Lang quietly watched his daughter's changes, hoping that she would be able to withstand the blow, but Misa suddenly stood up from her position, dropped a few cold tears and ran out of the hall, took out the summoning scroll, summoned the unicorn Pegasus to her side, and flew directly into the sky.
"Kailang?" Gata looked at Meisa, who had left on a unicorn, and tried to chase him back, but Kailang shook his head at him.
"She wouldn't be that irrational. Kailang said lightly.
Mei Sha's eyes were already red as she was flying in the sky, but her beautiful face was full of painful expressions, and the wind blew on her, but she didn't even support the wind shield at all, and let these cold green blades slash across her cheeks and body.
"Lucha!" Even though her father said that, Meisha still didn't want to believe it, she needed to confirm it, and the only ones who could tell her the truth were Slow and Lucha, who had long since disappeared, and she had to come to the Magic Guild to find Lucha.
"Mesa...... You...... Are you alright?" Lucca had already guessed the purpose of her coming here when she saw Mesa's sad expression, but Lucca had promised Gaia not to tell her about it.
"Tell me, what did Gaia tell you before activating that magic circle!" Misha said in an almost questioning tone, she didn't want to hear any more lies, especially the ones that broke her heart.
"Meisha......" Lucha's eyes gradually dimmed, and she hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Gaia was worried that she would not want to leave there if she knew the truth, so I asked Slow to make up that lie together. ”
"Tell me all!" Meisa's voice was a little hoarse, her dignity and elegance had long been lost, and she was just a desperate woman who had been traumatized by her feelings.
"He told us how to crack the magic array, and he already knew this method, but he didn't want to do it until the last moment, because if he used this method, someone would be left in the crypt and banned forever. Lucha said.
"Why didn't you tell me at the time, and you came with them to deceive me!" said Meisha angrily.
"One of us has four magicians, and it can only be done if someone can't attack anyone, and there's no way he'll let you do it, and neither Slow nor I have the courage to do that. And he didn't ask us if we wanted to stay, he just made his own decision to let us take you away in a lying way. Lucha choked up a little as she spoke, knowing that Gaia would be willing to stay there just for Mesa, but after all, he had saved the others by doing so.
Meisha sat on the ground a little weakly, even if she wanted to cry, she couldn't do it, maybe now she understood why Gaia was always distracted during the more than a month she was trapped, and she always fell into a struggle of thoughts, because he already knew that he might be left alone there, thinking of Gaia's smile when she activated the magic array, Meisha suddenly found that she was so stupid, and she didn't even understand the desolate smiling face mixed with pain, mixed with reluctance, and mixed with strong love.
Mei Sha's thoughts kept fluttering: the three months in the Demon Beast Mountain Range five years ago and the three months in the Forbidden Land of the Gods now seemed to be superimposed, the weak boy who was torn open by the sword qi and the helpless man who made the final decision in the struggle were all defended with his life at the most critical time......
"You...... Are you alright?" Lucia tried to pick up Misa, but as if she had no strength, she leaned on top of the unicorn pegasus who was prostrate on the ground, and fell into a situation from which she could not extricate herself.
Lucha grew up with Mesa, and knew everything about Mesa, and when she finally accepted the prince and had some affection for him under Muto's pursuit, the boy died, so she froze her heart and entered the temple to live a pure life.
However, after so many years, there was finally another man who really walked into the depths of her heart, and the life and death experience in the forbidden land of the gods, Lucha could also see that Meisha was really in love with Gaia, who had been defending her with her life, but when they didn't have time to warm this feeling, the lover left Meisha again, and this kind of re-scratching the emotional wound that was just about to heal was the most painful, and the woman was tortured to the point of losing her soul and being bruised all over her body.
......
......
Three months later, after Zacharias presented strong evidence to the Holy League, the most authoritative organization in Eden, Zachariah officially issued a letter of war to Charobin.
The Holy Alliance's adulthood has been thousands of years, and it is a joint restraint organization composed of more than half of the saint-level powerhouses in the Eden Continent, and there has been no large-scale war in the major empires for thousands of years, in addition to the terrain factor, there are also the constraints of the Holy Alliance, and this time the rules of the Forbidden Land of God are also formulated by the Holy Alliance.
Zachariah had long had the idea of moving north, suffering from the constraints of the Holy Alliance, or there was no just reason for war, and this time the three empires of the Forbidden Land of God broke the rules of the Holy Alliance, which also gave Zachariah an excuse to prevaricate the Holy Alliance, and he could also calmly lead the army into Charobin's territory, destroy this empire that was like a plate of scattered sand, and expand the territory of Zechariah.
Although Zachariah officially launched the Book of War against the Charobin Empire, the real outbreak of the war will be half a year later, Michael the Great and Marshal Kailang are not unaware of the tactics of attacking them unprepared, but in the case of the natural barrier of the Warcraft Mountain Range, even if they send surprise troops, it is easy to be detected, not to mention that the Charlotbin Empire has already been lined with heavy troops on the border, but they have already known Zachariah's intentions and are ready to meet this war.
The Tolan Empire to the west of Zacharias (on the left side of the flat map) must be stabilized, and it is impossible for Zacharias to start a war in the event of worries, so the most effective means before the marriage alliance forms an empire, and the victim is the seventh princess Selene, who is still eighteen years old in half a year.
Gaia's accident and the forced marriage forced this originally willful girl to become extremely haggard, in order to prevent Celine from sneaking out of the imperial city like the original has put her under house arrest in the princess palace, for three months, Selene's life has gradually become numb, every day except to take care of the elf flower, there seems to be nothing that can make her happy, those old maids and queens tirelessly instilled in her as a princess married to other empires, how to restrain herself, how to be a princess, how to remember the mission of the Tolan Empire。
Now Selene will not use her willfulness to resist these rules of how to be a royal woman, nor will she lose her temper with the chattering old maid, let alone coquettish her mother, she is now used to nodding numbly after these step-by-step teachings, and then do her own thing, maybe as Mela said, after all this she has grown, she is no longer the girl who rebelled against royal life......
At the same time as Zacharias launched the war, the Rosa Temple ushered in a crisis again, and the temple has been declining for so many years It is precisely because of the hostility of the largest cult in the Eden continent, the Dian Geng Sect, that the grievances between the two religions in the past twenty years have reached their peak, fortunately Daisy walked out of the forbidden land of the gods safely, otherwise the Dian Geng Sect is likely to deal with the Rosa Temple with all its might.
Meisha, who has returned to the temple, has changed from the previous ice heart to ice and cold, and now nothing can stop her emotional fluctuations, and even the beautiful face is always condensed with frost, and her heart is like ashes, she has not returned to her home for a long time, like her own mother, she is a priestess who is not affected by any emotions.
Every day Meisha used to stand on the side of the cliff facing the Holy Academy at dusk, looking at the vast plain on the north side, and only at this time would her eyes show sadness and pain, because Meisha found that she had a love for Gaia beyond the boundaries of her sister and it was when she walked on that plain with him, Meisa remembered that it was still raining heavily, and they walked from dusk to night, all the way to the holy lake, Gaia gave her a positive hug that she couldn't guard against, and her heart was flustered.
"Meisha, you're here. A woman's voice interrupted Meisha's drifting thoughts.
Mei Sha hurriedly concealed her emotions, turned to the woman, and bowed slightly, "Holy Maiden Ida." ”
The Lady of Ida was the last two saints, and this forty-year-old woman was the most beloved of the temple worshippers and one of the most respected by Mesa. The Holy Maiden of Ida has a heart of compassion and love for everyone, as if she is the most compassionate side of the god Rosa, and her every move exudes the most holy atmosphere, which can be said to be the most suitable woman for the status of a saint in a hundred years.
"What do you think, so distracted. Ida had a faint smile, the passage of time had not left any traces on the face of the holy woman, her smile was easily contagious, and the complicated emotions gradually calmed down.
"I just remembered my mother...... "Meisa didn't tell the truth, it wasn't that she deliberately lied, but she didn't know how to tell the sadness in her heart.
"Oh, it's also a woman who is tortured by emotions and bruised all over her body, we all lived together in the temple ......," said Ida with some emotion.
"Can you tell me about my mother's past?" Meisha suddenly missed this kind mother, but she died early, and Meisha can't remember her face now.
"Well, I remember that more than twenty years ago, I, the daughter of the great sage Lankani, and your mother were the closest sisters in the Temple of Rosa, and after I succeeded as the Holy Daughter, your mother married your father Kailang, but we all know that the person Kailang loves is Bishar, so we also guess that your mother will not get much happiness even if she marries Kailang. Saint Ada's eyes showed a little sadness.
"Is that the one who had a taboo love?" Misa's expression changed, and her body seemed to tremble slightly when she said that she was in taboo love.
"Well, Bi Sara fell in love with the young master of the Diangeng Sect, Mog Lauren, and after the young master of the cult abandoned Bi Sara, Bi Sara was burned at the stake at the top of the temple of the Ten Thousand Towers, and the Grand Sage of Lankani also retired from the Pope because of her. After that, a lot of things happened around the whole temple and the empire......"
"Your father was married to your mother at the time and gave birth to you, but after Kailang watched Bi Suer be burned at the stake, the whole person became depressed, and he focused on the affairs of the empire and neglected your mother, which has been the case for many years, and your mother gradually became disheartened and left you early in depression......"
Meisha bit her lip, which was not bloody, and Meisha knew some about the cause of her mother's death, but she didn't know the real reason.
"Meisha, telling you this is not to make you jealous of Kailang, Kailang really did not do anything wrong, he has always loved Bisa Er, who was burned at the stake, but your mother was stubborn about marrying him, which also led to the tragedy later. Do you know that on the day of Bissa'er's burning at the stake, Kailang almost had a battle with Pope Fama (the current Pope), and you should know what it is to confront the Pope, which shows how much your father loves her, but your mother's stubbornness has caused his marriage to be frozen early......" Ida sighed lightly.
Mei Sa nodded, she was past the age of complaining about her father, and knew that in this kind of society, marriage was always uncontrollable, "What about that cult master Mogg-Lauren, why did he abandon Bi Sara, it is rumored that he is also dead?"
"Well, he also died, I don't know much about the cause of death, he is the son of Pope Lauren of the Diangeng Sect, his death made the Diangeng Sect resentful of our Rosa Temple, which is why our temple has always been careful for so many years, fortunately that Slow was not trapped in the forbidden land of the gods this time, otherwise the Diangeng Sect would be angry with us again. Said the Holy Maiden of Ada.
"Sloe?" Mei Sa was stunned, not understanding how the Sloh of the ancient family could have something to do with the Diangeng Sect.
"Well, he is the current young master of the Diangeng Sect, we already know this, we can't stop them from infiltrating that team, maybe it can be regarded as a compromise in our temple, this Siluo is likely to be the son of the young master of the cult and Bi Su'er. Said the Holy Maiden of Ada.
"Bisa has a baby?" said Meisha, a little surprised.
"Well, her children were also going to be burned at the stake, but the night before the burning there was an accident in the temple, and the granddaughter of Pope Fama, Sanlive, and Bishar's child, Slo, disappeared at the same time, and the Pope sent a lot of people to track down, and chased the person who took Sanliv in the Lalis Mountains, but Sanliv was missing. And the person who took away Bisao'er's child has no way to hunt down, and now it seems that he was brought back by the people of the Diangeng Sect to raise him as an adult, and he became the current Slo. Said the Holy Maiden of Ada.
Mesa fell into deep thought, the Larys Mountains are also where the village of Matu is located, Sanliv did live in the village of Matu when she was young, and Gaia was involved in the dispute of the Holy See because she was in the same village with this lost granddaughter of the Pope, the reason why Mesa did not let Gaia track down these things is precisely because: the Pope will not let anyone know that the current saint Saliv has been in the countryside for nearly twelve years, and Sanliv also begged her not to tell Gaia the truth, and seems to have a great fear of some things......
......
......
In the dark crypt, Gaia's entire face has become more and more pale, and even the blood color is gradually invisible, the food in the space bracelet has gradually decreased, and he himself can't infer how long he has been here, he has no concept of time, the only thing that has changed is that the main magic cyclone in his body has reached a level that he himself can't estimate, and he knows that the light element has already appeared in his elemental space.
"Two years or three years?" Gaia said to herself as she withdrew from meditation and picked up the purple sword beside her. When meditation is too boring, Gaia will cultivate Dou Qi, and so on and so on seems to be the only thing he can do here, and now he himself doesn't know how far his swordsman level has reached, and his cultivation has completely become a way of self-regulation to prevent himself from going crazy because of loneliness.
With the reduction of food and water, Gaia gradually stopped cultivating the fighting spirit that consumed too much physical strength, sitting alone in this empty fifth layer of space, the eyes that were blazing in the past have been blindfolded with a layer of incomprehensible daze, the life and death experience of the Warcraft Mountain Range is also lonely, but in that kind of survival Gaia can feel the passage of time and the pleasure of gradually becoming stronger, but in this mortal crypt Gaia can't experience the excitement of strength improvement at all, and it is just a kind of physical and mental fatigue and depression。
"It's boring, isn't it......"
Just when Gaia was living this numb life, an ethereal voice sounded, and Gaia, who was accustomed to silence at first, did not react and thought it was his own delusion, but when the voice sounded for the second time, Gaia stood up suddenly.
"That demigod creature in the fifth layer of space!" Gaia knew that there was a demigod-level creature in the fifth layer of space, and Gaia had always thought that this guy was calling for him, but he didn't appear for such a long time, which made Gaia gradually disappointed.
"Don't look for me, you can't see me, does my voice feel familiar to you?" the demigod continued.
"Well, why have you been calling me, and now you're trapped here, and why haven't you shown up until now. Gaia said.
"It's not that I'm calling you, it's not that I'm trapping you here, even my strength can't open this dark hole set up by my master. The demigod's voice came from every direction.
Gaia's heart sank again, and her mind was full of doubts, if it wasn't this demigod calling herself, what was it calling, could it be the superior god?
"Don't guess, it's impossible for the master to call you, you're just an ordinary human being. The demigod seemed to have guessed Gaia's mind.
