Chapter 147 Theresa's Past. City of Stars!
On the city wall, a girl hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face tightly, and sobbed softly.

Raven silently sat down next to her, and they sat in silence.

The night sky is deep and dotted with stars.

After an unknown amount of time, Theresa suddenly spoke:

"You know, I was the one who killed my father and mother. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died."

"What are you talking about? Uncle Heller died at Jimin's hands."

"No, in the final analysis, it was me who harmed him."

Theresa said with a sad look.

“I once studied at the Morgan Guild, and because of my outstanding talent, I received the full support of my mentor. At that time, my father and mother were very proud of me.

It can be said that my future is bright.

But the nightmare also began from then on.

I met Sari, the heir to the House of Eyun."

"The Yiyun family?"

Raven was shocked, this family was one of the seven famous families of Dante and was extremely powerful.

“Yes, he pursued me madly after he saw me, but I don’t like this person, he is too cold.

For a long time after that, he tried hard to please me.

This is already the limit for him given his status, but I still can't accept him.

Not only that, I fell in love with a warlock."

The girl murmured, lost in memories.

“Soon he found out, and then his terrible face was revealed.

He killed the warlock, stabbed him full of holes right in front of me, and then it was me."

Theresa's voice trembled.

“It was a strange dagger, with a horrible aura, and he cut my face with it.

With every scratch, I felt like countless bugs were gnawing at my wounds. The pain was beyond words.

And I couldn't even pass out!
He would say he loved me every time he stroked the stroke, haha, but it was so ferocious.

He is the devil.”

Raven listened quietly, his fists clenched tightly. He could imagine her despair at that time.

"Sari, huh? There are too many perverts in this world. I should clean up a few of them."

"What are you going to do? He is the young master of the Yiyun family. You can't possibly defeat him."

"Just because you can't now doesn't mean you can't in the future."

"No, I don't need you to do anything for me, just listen."

Raven shook his head, "Go ahead."

“When my father found me, I was already dying, and he sent me to the temple for treatment.

But no priest could heal the wound on my face, the power of the dagger was too evil.

That night, it was my mother who sewed up the wounds on my face. "

Theresa suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

"Then the next day, my mother never woke up, she just passed away.

My father wanted to fight with Sarri, but when he saw how miserable I was, he gave up. Do you know why? "

Raven shook her head.

"He said if he died there would be no one to take care of me, so no matter how humiliating it was he had to live."

"Uncle Heller is a good man." Raven sighed.

"Later, my father took me away from Yuandu and brought us to Lentini.

I thought I would live a peaceful life from now on, but I didn't expect...

Woohoo... I didn't expect my father would die too. It's all my fault."

Raven felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

He hugged Theresa gently.

“How is it your fault? You are the victim from beginning to end.

I will definitely restore your appearance, and I will also pay back the harm that person has done to you tenfold or a hundredfold!"

"No, I don't need it."

"Don't be afraid. I won't touch him now, but sooner or later."

"I want to leave."

"Where?"

"I don't know. I'll just go wherever I want. Anyway, I'm all alone."

"You can't go anywhere. We are your family. You will stay here from now on."

Raven said without question.

"You don't want your father to worry about you, right? He's watching you in the night sky."

Theresa's frail body trembled, and she nodded gently. The next day, Raven gathered everyone to discuss the aftermath and the reconstruction of the territory.

This Zhimin invasion proved how correct Sean's original decision was.

If he had not insisted on building the city, Lentini would have been massacred by now.

This also serves as a warning to everyone that they must not harbor any illusions about the war and that Lentini's defense must be strengthened.

Sean said in a deep voice: "Our losses this time are too great, we must replenish our soldiers as soon as possible."

"That's right, but we can't recruit ordinary people. Even if they are trained again, they can't compete with the Zhimin." Raven nodded.

"I plan to recruit a group of mercenaries or free fighters, all of whom must be high-level warriors or above, and great warriors are best.

The commission is two hundred gold coins per year, while for a great warrior it is four hundred.

We will provide the weapons and equipment, so please take care of them, uncle."

"No problem, but that's another lot of money." Sean sighed.

“If you lose money, you can earn it back, but if you lose your life, you lose everything.

In addition, I also plan to recruit five to ten Honor-level warriors.

As for the reward, I will give you a piece of Lei Ju as a reward, but you need to serve me for five years."

"Raven, the price is too high, don't you need to consider it?" Sean frowned.

He didn't agree at all. Lei Cai was the Demonic Armed Forces. How could he use him as a commission?
It's such a waste.

"Compared with our safety, it's nothing. I can't let anyone bleed here anymore."

There was one thing Raven didn't say.

That is because Harit deeply stimulated him. If he was not weak, how could he have been ridden on the neck and shit by him?

"By the way, now that Heller is gone, who will be in charge of the smelting site?"

"Lanster, you take over." Raven said.

"No problem." The latter nodded.

“There’s one more thing I want to tell you.

Sophie has a bold plan, I think it is possible to realize it, please introduce it to me."

"My thoughts are this..."

Sophie repeated her idea of ​​drawing a burning array on the city wall.

Everyone looked at each other, shocked by this plan.

"Turning the city wall into a huge magic array base?

But... that wall is made of slag," Monroe muttered.

This has overturned his imagination.

Theresa's mouth opened wide: "Is this the legendary magic city?"

"It's still a long way off," Sophie curled her lips, "A real magic city can float in the air."

"Boss, it all depends on your performance." Shura said encouragingly.

Everyone ended the meeting in a daze, and left with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

A week later, Raven brought everyone to the city wall.

At his instruction, all the stones on the outer wall of the city had been smashed away, revealing the metal inside.

At this moment, what appeared before everyone was a majestic city wall, dark blue and sparkling with stars.

The setting sun is as red as blood, shining on the wall, reflecting a charming glow.

"This must be Qinglan's first metal city. I didn't expect that we built it." Monroe's face was full of pride.

Sean sighed: "Yes, it will become Lentini's totem."

Raven looked at Theresa and said softly:
"Uncle Heller gave his life for Lentini, so you can give it a name."

"No, I can't do it. You guys should do it."

An Qi took the girl's hand and encouraged her:

"Sister Theresa, you must come. We like any name."

At this time, the setting sun gradually faded, the blood color on the dark blue wall faded, and dreamy starlight flickered.

"Then let's call it the City of Starlight."

"Starlight City... this name sounds good." An Qi clapped her hands, "Let's call it this."

Raven also nodded: "Okay, let's call it the City of Starlight from now on."

More and more residents saw visions of the Starry City.

They stared at it blankly, as if they had seen a miracle, and many of them began to worship it.

Under the cover of night, this high city became the last refuge in their hearts.

A fierce quarrel was taking place in the Holy Alliance's camp.

"We must attack immediately!"

The leader of the Huangyou tribe, Reinker, pounded the table and roared.
