CH.20 Smilla's Child (Part II)
"It's cruel...... No wonder this organization has long since perished. "Zero can't help but grieve for the fate of those who have been transformed.
"So, are you going to continue this tragedy?" Ai Xue gritted her teeth and stared at Rolls. Text starter/text starter
"How is that possible?!, what we are going to do is not that kind of filthy thing, yes, these children have already been identified as victims, but their names will shine forever in the history we have written, as the foundation of the New Age will shine forever, their bodies will be purified by the flames of Phoenix, and their souls will surely fly to the ideal realm of carefreeness. ”
"Say no more, you executioner, when you die, there is nothing! Besides, children who are so young that if it weren't for this incident, they could have spent their childhood in peace and pursued the life they wanted. And you've ruined it!" Lena scolded indignantly, but Rolls laughed it off.
"Genius on the left, madman on the right. We never want to understand the ideals of adults, and we have no intention of getting the understanding of the world, so instead of thinking about them, we should worry about your situation. Rolls spread her arms outstretched, reminding them that more than 20 children had surrounded the snow wheal. [Monthly Timepiece] A good-looking novel debuted [] Monthly Timepiece
"Don't worry, I won't make a move. If any of you are lucky enough to survive, there will be a mysterious gift for you. With that, Rolls' figure disappeared, presumably where he was hiding and secretly observing.
"You're back. In the gloomy space, a middle-aged man sits leisurely in an expensive leather seat, watching the images broadcast by magic crystals.
"My lord, I have done everything you told me to do. Rolls walked slowly behind the middle-aged man and waited quietly.
"Good work, Rolls, there's nothing else to worry about for the time being. Sit back and watch this exciting battle with me. ”
"Yes. Rolls sat down on the spot, and at the same time, a black stone seat "grew" on the ground, and the whole set of movements was coherent and elegant, which showed that it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing.
"Your alchemy is getting more and more sophisticated. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
On the screen, the figure of Leonard after the dragon transformation appeared, and I saw him wielding a pure white "colored" sword, performing one gorgeous sword technique after another, scattering the magic emitted by the children around him one by one. Ai Xue relied on the help of the phoenix to protect herself, zero, of course, not to be outdone. Ike was able to dodge the enemy's magical barrage with his speed, while Lena and Kaos leaned close together, protecting the unarmed Icarus.
"What do you think?" the middle-aged man looked at Rolls next to him with an intriguing gaze.
"We underestimated their quality and in fact, if they had gone through the tactics of individual breakdowns, those kids wouldn't have been able to stop their attack. ”
But they didn't. ”
"Because they think that once they make a move, they will become accomplices in taking the lives of children, and the bottom line of morality binds them, so that those who adhere to the so-called justice cannot do anything. Rawls's answer was clear and hierarchical, and the result was clearly well thought out.
"You still know me. ”
"If it weren't for a deep understanding of your ideals, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today. I know that you have a desire to achieve it no matter what, and I will accompany you to the end of this road. ”
The middle-aged man didn't speak, but his face showed a look of satisfaction.
"Let's just observe it, I have other things, go back first. ”
"Please leave it to me with confidence. After watching the middle-aged man leave, Rolls whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "I won't let you down, Father. ”
Rolls returned to her seat and continued to watch the battle between Ai Xue and the others.
"It's endless, damn it!" Zero roared as he used the Twin Rings to fend off magical attacks from all directions. [Monthly Timepiece] A good-looking novel debuted [] Monthly Timepiece
Unlike the previous Flame of Destruction, what bothered everyone was a steady stream of low- and mid-level magic. The firepower network intertwined with the fierce wind and fire, ice bombs and flying sand makes people unable to dodge, but can only carry it. On the field, only Leonard seemed to be at ease, and everyone else was miserable.
At this moment, another child fell down, invisibly, reducing the pressure on the snow wheal.
"Is there really no way?!" Zero let out a sad cry, watching one by one fresh lives pass away in front of his eyes, and Zero had an indescribable pathos in his heart. It wasn't the monsters of the forest, nor the evil Iron Wolf Thieves, but innocent children, who had to end their lives early just because they were unfortunately involved in the incident, which was too unfair!
"Don't be cranky, stay calm, and protect the people around you!" Leonard reminded loudly as he saw Zero's wavering.
Zero's thoughts returned to reality, and her sense of mission and responsibility kept her close to Ai Xue's side. Although it was late, the brilliant light was like a guest star, and it was as bright as day. A nearby grove had turned to pitch black, scorched earth, emitting choking smoke.
Rolls' gaze never took off the screen, and at this moment, he was faithfully completing the task left to him by the middle-aged man.
It was not until the last child fell straight down that I don't know how long it was. Zero still dragged his tired body to guard Ai Xue's side, but fortunately, no one was hit hard, and the snow wheal withstood the opponent's fierce magic attack.
"At 45 minutes and 26 seconds, the final individual collapsed. "The fiery red 'color' of the sound transmission stone of Rollsstone reported the real results to his superiors.
"How's the snow wheal?" said a middle-aged man's voice from the stone.
"Five people were seriously injured, no one died. ”
"Well done, worthy of my fancy team. But unfortunately, the secrets here can't be revealed to outsiders, you know what to do. When you're done, move immediately. ”
"Yes!" Roys smiled with a secret smile as she placed the stone in the recess reserved for the ceiling. He looked at it intently, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick rock formation, and he went straight to the ground where Ai Xue and the others were!
"Whew!" Zero collapsed to the ground, and even Leonard, who had been supported by a long sword, slowly sat on the ground. Ai Xue: They had lost consciousness a few minutes earlier. Each of them has large and small wounds, and the "naked" and "exposed" skin is bruised and purple, which can become quite dangerous if not treated immediately. The fierce bombardment and the children's faces turned inexplicably bleak under the light of the fire, ravaging and torturing everyone's spirit all the time, this shadow will always be engraved in Zero's heart, and no matter how time passes, the years will not erase its traces.
"We ...... Did it work?" Zero looked at Leonard blankly, with an unconfident expression on his face.
"Maybe it's not that simple...... The so-called mysterious gift, we haven't seen it yet. Don't take it lightly......" Leonard gasped, still alert to the movements around him.
At this moment, Icarus's body shone brightly, no, from her pocket, to be exact.
"What is this?" Zero pulled out the blazing crystal, the scorching heat making her nearly throw it out.
"Danger!" a crisp voice sounded, and at the same time, the magic crystal in Zero's hand was gone.
