Chapter 22 The God of Slaughter

Since Garden came back, the relationship between the dwarf and Neia had subtle changes.The dwarf moved closer to Neia's side as always, and Neia accepted it frankly.On the contrary, the king, who had been expelled several times overtly and secretly, was defeated by the dwarf's thick skin. Later, when the king spoke again, Neia would find an excuse to keep him.

In addition, Timothy finally invited his teacher, and he praised Master Hope, known as the number one magician.Under his auspices, the magicians hired by Langzan have been doing their best to find a way to lift the curse these days.

Repeated failures made the king angry with Dover.

At the beginning, in order to consolidate his position, Dover ordered a fixed number of magicians and knights to be admitted every day, and lobbied them one by one. Some magicians left one after another in order to avoid intervening in Longzan's internal strife. Colluding with Dover, afraid of being settled by Qiu Hou, after Chamberlain took back Vipanz, he disappeared on his own, which led to the failure of Langzan's long-term recruitment plan.

If Dover could not be found, the king confiscated part of the property in his name, and partly used it as a reward.

As a result, the number of defected people has doubled compared to before.

However, although Hope didn't undo the curse, Neia's sleep quality was getting better day by day.I still have nightmares, but the figure of the red-haired man is becoming more and more blurred.He could feel the other party's anger, but to no avail.Several times the red-haired man wanted to rush over, and he immediately woke up from the nightmare.Incidentally, the symptoms of the curse were also reduced.

Hope couldn't tell the reason, so he had to classify it as a mistaken hit.

Sleep well, look good, and feel good.

Neia spent a long time with the dwarves, and at the end of the day, she would inevitably be happy.

The queen, who had just returned from recuperation, saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.Finally, on a drizzle evening, she found Neia privately, trying to persuade him to give up his plan to spend the rest of his life with a dwarf.

Neia remained silent, not knowing how to explain.Said that he couldn't see the future and wanted to die, so he drew an empty pie for the dwarf?The queen mother will be more worried if she knows.Moreover, his health has improved recently, and his will to die is not as strong as before.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the queen became even more anxious: "You haven't seen the woods yet, how can you be sure that the bushes in front of you are what you want?"

Neia was momentarily speechless.

The queen added: "Keeping promises is a beautiful quality, but so is honesty. Honestly facing your own feelings is a responsible life. You can force yourself for a day, a month, but you can't force yourself for a lifetime. There is always One day, you will regret it and then develop resentment. At that time, how will you face the person who caused all this? Will you frivolously deny everything to justify your original impulse?"

Neia murmured, "I didn't think so far."

The queen said: "But you have already promised so far."

Neia's heart that she thought was solid suddenly burst open, and the strength she had propped up was peeled off, revealing her soft heart nakedly, revealing her panic and fear at a glance.He covered his eyes, trying to make a final cover, but was gently pulled down by a pair of hands.

Facing her mother's loving and tolerant eyes, Neia finally let go of her last disguise."I thought I couldn't go that far," he said in shame.

The queen was startled, and then spoke again, her voice trembling: "What do you mean you can't go that far?"

Neia was dumbfounded.

The queen caressed his face, and her eyes met his relentlessly.

Neia couldn't escape, so she could only say, "It's just a random thought."

The queen thought of his curse.Every time he had an attack, he would always hide in the room alone, so that no one could see him.But he is her son, mother and son are connected, how could she not know the pain he endured?

She said: "Don't worry, Master Hope will definitely be able to undo the curse."

Neia knew that these words were more consoling than practical, so she nodded.

She was silent for a while and said, "What about the dwarf?"

Neia said: "It's very complicated. We may not even be considered friends. He took Oak away. If Oak can't come back, I will never forgive him."

The queen frowned: "He proposed such a condition..."

"There must be some purpose." In any case, Neia did not believe that the dwarf would have any inexplicable feelings for her.He wanted to use himself from the start, didn't he?Later, after discovering his abnormality, he dedicated it to Fei Da without hesitation, digging out something from his own heart.Later, he protected himself and came to Langzan, but it was because of Fei Da's order.What emotions does such an experience produce?

It's just a conspiracy.

But Neia still couldn't guess the other party's purpose so far, so she had to use this almost humble method to restrain the other party.

The queen did not expect such an answer.In comparison, she would rather Neia made such a choice because of her feelings for the dwarf. At least, he was happy right now. "Nia, my child." She hugged him tightly in her arms.

Neia whimpered, buried her head in her neck, and burst into tears.

The half of the setting sun was gradually sinking into the horizon, and the last bit of afterglow slanted into the house, just shining on the mirror behind them, but there was no light at all.

The mirror was dark, slowly condensing a black shadow, silently staring at the mother and child who were embracing each other and weeping.

Night falls.

Even though the situation had improved recently, Neia didn't dare to take it lightly.Dressed in neat clothes, lying on the bed, looking worriedly at the dark circles under the eyelids of Hope and the other magicians sitting aside.He thought for a while and said, "Master Wang, you need to rest. Forget it tonight."

Hope was instructing other magicians to draw formations, and he said without raising his head, "I will rest when the curse on Your Highness is lifted."

Neia sat up: "You are more important than me."

He is a prince, but not the only prince.Without him, Longzan would not have changed.At the moment when Dongguimo is constantly eating away at Langzan, Hope is the truly indispensable person.

Hope remembered what the queen with red and swollen eyes said to him not long ago, frowned slightly, took a deep look at him and said, "Your father and queen will not be happy to hear such words."

Neia said, "But it's the truth."

"I'm not happy either," Hope said.

Ning Ya was startled: "Master Wang..."

Hope pointed to the roses in the bedside vase: "This is me. The roses in full bloom are dazzling in color and can be seen at a glance. And you are still budding in the garden outside, and no one knows what will bloom. Flowers, including yourself. Shouldn't that be expected?"

Neia's lips trembled, and she lowered her head.He didn't refute Hope's words, nor did he seem to agree with them.

Hope added: "What do you think is different about you?"

Neia said in shame: "Decadent, no fighting spirit?"

Hope said: "It's more tenacious."

Neia was stunned again.

Hope said: "I have suffered so much and made myself stronger. Why waste all my previous efforts?"

Neia was shocked all over.

Hope ignored him and turned to talk to Timothy about his thoughts on the magic circle.

Today's sleepiness came earlier than usual.

As soon as she lay down, Neia felt that her eyelids were too heavy to lift, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

The sky was covered with yellow sand.

As soon as Neia opened her eyes, she saw the violent eyes of the red-haired man, followed by a scar across his cheek... He could see his face clearly!

"I gave you a chance." The red-haired man said grimly, "You have let me down again. The means you used these days are really good, but it's a pity that it can only stop here."

Neia asked blankly, "What are you talking about?"

The red-haired man said: "I'll give you one last chance to exchange you for Long Zan!"

Taking this sentence separately, Neia could understand each word, but when combined, it was too profound and powerless.

His silence was interpreted by the red-haired man as hesitation, and he suddenly became angry: "You are still struggling weakly, what's the use? It won't change the ending, it will only hurt more people."

Neia repeated blankly: "I let more people get hurt?"

"The disaster in Longzan was caused by you."

……

"The disaster in Longzan was caused by me... No!"

Neia suddenly jumped up from the bed.

The various elements in the magic circle were restless. Hope quickly withdrew his mental power and closed the magic circle to prevent him from accidentally hurting him.The moment the magic circle dimmed, Neia rushed to the window and crashed out.

This is the third floor!

Hope immediately chased after him and flew down to catch him, but it was already a step too late. Neia, like a swift leopard, jumped suddenly after landing on the ground, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

There was no time for explanations and discussions, so Hope hurriedly said "I'll go after him", and then disappeared.

The sudden change caused other people on the scene to look at each other, not knowing why.They all heard Neia's words before she ran away, "Langzan's disaster was caused by me" seemed to mean something.Most of the magicians present were temporarily invited. Lenovo Longzan's evasive and secretive attitude after inviting them caused doubts to arise in their hearts.

Compared to them, Timothy was the one who really cared about Neia and Hope.He collected himself and warned others with a serious face not to tell what happened today, while he strode to the king's bedroom to report the matter.

The king's attitude was almost the same as he had imagined. He was concealing the matter. Of course, doubts in his heart were unavoidable. He discussed with Timothy in his pajamas for a long time.

The god-level curse on Neia's body was strange, and the movement of Donggui Desert was also strange.Coupled with the fact that the two happened at very similar times, it seemed to confirm from the side that what Neia said was not nonsense.
