Mysteries

One is to look at with concern, and the other is to look back with bewildered eyes.Both pairs of eyes were searching for what they wanted, and both got unexpected gains.

"Your Highness, you..."

"Master Wang?"

Neia suddenly sat up and was supported by Hope.

Hope said pleasantly: "Are you awake?"

Neia said: "During this time...you have worked hard." Although he has no memory, he can probably guess what happened in his own state.

Hope said, "Just wake up." He had a lot of questions to ask, such as how Neia woke up, what happened to the curse... Although the fire element attached to the surface of Neia's skin had receded, he couldn't help it. It must be temporary or permanent, or there are some more powerful countermeasures waiting, but seeing Neia's current fatigue, he swallowed the words consciously.

Neia also had a lot to say.Queen father, queen mother, Lang Zan... had a lot of thoughts and couldn't figure it out. After the agitation calmed down, he couldn't say a word.

Instead, Huo mentioned the recent events in Langzan, including the support from St. Padres Academy of Magic, the Magic Guild, and the Society of Light.

Not to mention the God of Light, but just looking at the lineup of St. Padres Academy of Magic and the Magic Guild, even if they encounter an attack from Shamanliel or the Kandin Empire, there is no need to worry too much.But facing the red-haired man, even if he only appeared in a dream, Neia was not sure.

Seeing Neia's frowning face, Hope comforted him, "Don't worry, the king has already considered the worst-case scenario. All the residents near Dabei City have moved south."

Neia was silent for a while and said, "What if the sandstorm continues to head south?"

"The king has signed an agreement with the king of Senrisgar." Hope paused, "That day won't happen."

what day is that

He didn't say it clearly, but Neingia knew it well.

If the yellow sand in Donggui Desert continues to move southward, it will be a matter of time before Langzan is annexed.It must be a relocation agreement signed with Senliska.But at that time, Senlisga might not be a good place either.Because it, like Longzan, is at the southern end of Dongguimo, it can swallow Longzan, and it can also swallow Senrisgar.It's a pity that Shamanliel and the Candin Empire are too far away, otherwise, it would be better to seek refuge with these two great powers.One is that they are more accommodating, so you don’t have to worry too much about people losing their jobs after relocation, and one is that the strength of their country and the relationship between the God of Light are far better than Senliska.

This thought flashed through Neia's mind, but was soon forgotten.

Since it was the worst plan, he certainly didn't want it to come true.

Neia asked about the current situation on the frontier again, but she still held some hope in her heart, hoping that St. Padres Academy of Magic and the Magic Guild could play a role.Hope had been guarding him these days, and the news he received from the front line was not only severely delayed, but also concise and not of much value.

Just as Neia's stomach was rumbling, Hope ended the conversation and asked someone to bring in food.

Due to the relocation of the residents, the current Dabei City is short of supplies, and the food they bring is coarse grains.Neia planted two stalks of corn, drank a bowl of milk, couldn't eat anymore, and fell asleep on the bed.After watching him for so many days, Hope had been in high tension all the time, and now he was relaxed and a little tired.

After he closed his eyes, Neia opened them for a while, and waited for a while without moving. After confirming that Hope had fallen asleep, she tiptoed out of the tent.

He had already made a decision when he woke up, and his father's decision strengthened his decision even more.

Don't be too selfish.

Being a prince cannot be selfish.

If Longzan's bad luck was really caused by himself as the red-haired man said, then he is obliged to untie it.

At least, his father and king will be happy, his mother will be happy, his friends will be happy, and his subjects will be happy.

It is enough for one person to bring happiness to so many people.

Neia stepped out of the tent and found that it was almost evening.

The night has brought too much pain, and the evening is the harbinger of the night to come.For a while, when he saw the evening, he would be so nervous that his stomach hurt.But today is very special.He was still nervous, but it wasn't fear, but anticipation.

If what the red-haired man said is true, then as long as he goes by himself, all this will be over.

He took a deep breath and was about to take a step when Hope asked behind him: "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Neia's footsteps froze, she turned her head and smiled and said, "I'm full and a bit stuffed, I want to go out for a walk."

Hope followed up: "It's just right, my feet are a little numb from sleep too, so I can take a walk with Your Highness."

Ning Ya said: "Master Wang hasn't rested for a long time..."

"Your Highness, the king has entrusted you to me, and I will send you back to the palace safely." Hope stood in front of the tent, his robe turned up because he got up in a hurry, and he watched quietly with his red eyes from lack of sleep. he.

Neia's heart trembled.

Suddenly feel sad.

He didn't know why the red-haired man was so obsessed with looking for him, even at the expense of Sha Yanlang Zan. It was foreseeable that his future fate would probably no longer be in his hands.

... I don't know if there is still a chance to return to Longzan.The chance to see father and queen mother again is gone, and the closest person by his side is Master Hope.The feeling of attachment is like a prairie fire, burning the chest suddenly.

"Master Wang." Neia lowered her eyes, "Then let's go."

Hope nodded, as if knowing that he wanted a private space, he didn't run parallel to him, but quietly followed behind him.

Neia walked in front, her eyes quietly looking in the direction of the sun.

How much more time can be delayed?

He slowed down, as if time would pass more slowly that way.

"Your Highness." Hope said suddenly, "You are only 16 years old."

"Yes." Neia stopped walking.

Hope walked to his side: "You are still at an age where you can be willful."

Neia smiled and said, "I also have the right not to be willful."

Hope frowned, and a sneaky figure suddenly caught sight of the corner of his eyes, and his face suddenly pulled down: "Who's there? Come out."

Neia turned her head.

A short figure came out from behind the tent, saw Neia, and showed a naive smile: "Your Highness, it was hard for me to find you."

Neia froze for a moment.He missed a lot of people just now, obviously not including the dwarf.

The dwarf ran over joyfully, wanted to hold his hand, and flinched back somewhat cautiously: "Your Highness, why didn't you tell me where you are going, I can protect you."

"Thank you." Although he didn't have any feelings for the dwarf, and had always maintained suspicion and vigilance towards him, but parting was imminent, he didn't want to leave with these troubles.Moreover, as long as the Langzan crisis is resolved, even if the dwarf has a conspiracy, he will not find the soil for development.

The dwarf rolled his eyes and said, "Where is your Highness going, I will accompany you."

"Just walking around." Neia thought about it, and said to Hope, "I want to be alone with him for a while, please ask Master Wang to go back and rest."

Hope's idea of ​​the dwarf was similar to that of the queen. The difference was that the queen was Neia's mother and had the right to express her opinion on his future, while Hope could only watch from the sidelines.He didn't leave, but stepped back a few meters and followed from a distance.

The dwarf stepped forward excitedly: "Your Highness."

"Please do me a favor," Neia said.

"Did you and I still need to be so polite before?" The dwarf looked deeply, "In my heart, you and I have long been inseparable."

……

Even though he is leaving, he should not be able to cultivate a good impression of the dwarf.

Neia coughed dryly and said, "I want you to lure Master Hope away." The dwarf is a seventh-rank knight, so there should be a way.

The dwarf rolled his eyes: "Can I ask why?"

Neia said: "Didn't you say, cough, we are no longer separated from each other? Why do you still ask me what I want to do?"

The dwarf said, "I'm just afraid you'll abandon me again. You've got a lot of them."

Neia was a little embarrassed.He did intend to do so. "I just want Master Wang to have a good rest. After all, he hasn't had a good rest for many days."

"I have a way to get you out of Master Wang's sight, but I can't make him rest. The magician's mental power is too strong, and I can't hypnotize him." The dwarf glanced at Neia, "It seems that you have I am powerless to do the tasks given to me."

"...how to get out of his sight?"

The dwarf said angrily: "Look, what you just said is really an excuse. You just want to get rid of Master Wang, and get rid of me by the way."

Neia turned and left.

The dwarf followed immediately, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, are you angry?"

"No."

"No, you are angry," said the dwarf firmly.

Neia was mentally exhausted and didn't want to argue.

The dwarf said in frustration: "Your Highness, do you really hate me so much?"

Neia looked down at him, "That way we can see when Oak will come back."

"...You really care about him." The dwarf said angrily, his lowered eyes flashed coldly, "I don't want to hear that you care about others. I'm not happy."

He acted like a normal jealous person.Neia was speechless.

The dwarf lowered his head, picked the thumbs of both hands, and said falteringly, "It's possible to help you."

……

Before he said to help, he said that there is no distinction between each other.Now he offered to help again.

Neia was a little helpless: "What's the condition?"

The dwarf raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes: "Kiss me."

Neia: "..."

The dwarf said shyly, "I've grown up so much, I haven't kissed anyone yet." Seeing Neia standing there, motionless, he felt a little uneasy, "You don't want to?"

Neia wanted to nod.

The dwarf said: "Then who do you want to change?" His tone quickly became unhappy again, "Your father, the king of Longzan, has agreed to us being together. At this time, no matter who you think is wrong. Not only I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for your father."

Neia hadn't thought of anyone at first, but when he "reminded", two and a half faces immediately flashed in her mind.

One is Dilling.

No matter what his reasons were at the time, Dilling was indeed the first person he confessed to in his life.When he knew that Duo'an was in Langzan Dabei City, not far from him, he felt a little ashamed.The impulse at that time now seems to be so bold that it is almost shameless.

One is a red-haired man.

It was a completely different feeling from Dilling, but no matter what, Yeye's torment did burn this face deeply into his mind.

The last half is the black shadow that the God of Light will meet.

I didn't understand why I thought of him at all, but after Dilling and the red-haired man flashed past, it was indeed what remained in my mind.

"You've been thinking about it for so long!" The dwarf's voice was a little sharp.

Neia was a little confused.

The dwarf suddenly picked him up and ran away.

Everything happened so quickly, and Neia felt her stomach tighten even before she had adjusted her posture, and her upper body fell directly on the dwarf's shoulders.Looking up, he saw Hope's eager face.The wind was blowing backwards, messing up his bangs, and Hope's figure became smaller and smaller in sight.

what happened?

Master Hope actually lost to a seventh-rank knight?

He remembered that Wang Shi was clearly a ninth-level magician.

Neia was full of questions, and before she had time to ask, she saw a dilapidated city.

Speaking of dilapidation, the buildings are still those buildings, not much different from the ones I saw last time.The biggest difference is people.In the past, Dabei City was full of traffic and traffic, but now, the buildings are empty, and most of the people who come and go are patrolling soldiers.

Neia asked the dwarf to put him down, and ran to inquire about the situation at the front.

The soldiers thought he was a resident lingering and reprimanded him. After seeing Neia's earth-type magic, they thought he was a magician and told him that the instructor of the St. A space magic circle can block the yellow sand, but it failed. The sandstorm is still approaching Dabei City. In a short time, Dabei City may be completely covered by desert.

Neia frowned upon hearing this.

"The lord of Walla has given the order to abandon the defense, and now there is Tajilis Magister standing in the front line. It will be hard to say in the future. You should also prepare earlier." The soldier sighed.He has been stationed in Dabei City for many years, watching it grow more and more prosperous, and thought that it would be like this all his life, who would have seen it come to an end again.

Neia said, "Tajlis... Magister?"

The soldier said: "It's the one who tried to stop the sandstorm with space magic. It's a pity that it failed."

Neia said, "He's still on the front line."

"Yes, it's only him, the others..." Before the soldier finished speaking, Neia was no longer in sight.

Neia didn't know that he could run so fast, but when he ran out of Dabei City, his speed increased significantly, and he didn't need to distinguish the direction at all. His legs seemed to be equipped with a compass, and he moved towards the city without hesitation. head in a certain direction.

Gradually, a large desert appeared in front of my eyes, covering the earth and supporting the sky.

Where the yellow sand danced, flames soared into the sky.

Neia settled down a bit.He remembered that the magister Hydein Tajilis was a fire magician.Does the fact that the fire is so big mean that he is fine?

approaching.

The yellow sand and the flames are entangled crazily, inseparable.Two figures separated in two directions.Hyde turned his back to Neia, but the moment she saw him, Neia could feel that he was at the end of his strength.

Without hesitation, he abruptly inserted between the yellow sand and the flames.

Hyde was the top magician of mankind, and although the red-haired man didn't know his identity, he could feel that his power was far superior to that of a human being. With Neia's ability, he should have been unable to intervene in the battle between the two, but When he approached, he could clearly feel a force pushing himself, blocking the surrounding fire elements and yellow sand.

Neia's first reaction was to be a dwarf, but who else was around him?

The yellow sand and flames stopped.

The figures of two other people were revealed——

Hydein Tajlis.

red-haired man.

It got dark.

Neia could clearly feel the mantra climbing on her skin.The pain engraved in the memory tortured his spirit one step before the body had even begun.

"you lose."

He heard the red-haired man speak coldly, but he didn't hear Heiden's answer for a long time.

Neia gritted her teeth and looked up at the red-haired man.

The red-haired man stared at him with a very complicated expression, but his attitude was much better than in the dream. At least he said more words than the previous few times combined: "I am for your own good. I am for your own good." Repeat Once, as if affirming something, "Only by following me can you have the best of everything. Then you will know how stupid it is to be obsessed with the present."

Oh best of all.

so good.Leaving relatives, leaving friends, and following a person who has always tortured himself.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Neia caught sight of Hyde's pale face, and burst into tears.

At St. Padres, he didn't like Heiden.In fact, probably not too many people like Heiden as a student.He was talented but arrogant and unreasonable. Neia knew that St. Pads had sent many magisters to support him, but she never expected that Hydein was among them.Heidein in his memory should have nothing to do with himself and hang on high.

In fact, what I have is far more than what I imagined.

What else is there to regret?

There have been so many people who have worked hard for themselves, but now, it is time for them to pay for themselves.

The red-haired man was a little excited, and he came over and grabbed his arm to say something.

Neia looked at him, suddenly extremely calm.The portrait seems to have seen through everything and let go of everything, reaching another realm that was thought to be out of reach.He bent his legs and knelt down.

"I promise."

In fact, it is not that difficult to say these four words.

But the other party was still not satisfied, so he asked: "What do you promise?"

What else could it be?Although Neia felt that the other party asked the question knowingly, she said wittily, "I agree to go with you."

The red-haired man sighed pretentiously: "If you had agreed from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many troubles."

Yes from the beginning?

He didn't remember the other party asking at the beginning.Isn't it full of yellow sand as soon as it comes up?Neia sneered in her heart, but her attitude became calmer: "Let them go."

The red-haired man agreed very readily this time. "good."

He stretched out his hand and poked forward, and the spells on Neia's body slipped away from him one by one like snakes, and returned to the red-haired man's hands, finally disappearing under the man's bronzed skin.

Seeing the moment when the spell left her, Neia seemed to have gained a new life.Surprised and a little unsure.

Has his curse really been lifted?

It's that simple?

From today onwards, do you really no longer have to endure the pain when the curse strikes?

He pinched himself quietly to make sure that this wasn't really a sweet dream after consecutive nightmares.

"Let's go." The red-haired man moved his hand in front of Neia.

At one step, Neia had no way of retreating, so she raised her hand meekly to hold her.

Hyde looked displeased.

"Mentor." Neia looked back at him, "This is my own choice. Also, thank you and I'm sorry." Thank you for coming all the way to support Langzan, and I'm sorry for all that he paid for himself...it was in vain after all. up.

Before Hyde could react, the red-haired man impatiently dragged him into his arms, then turned and disappeared into the yellow sand.

Crouching in the arms of the red-haired man, Neia didn't dare to vent her anger, and watched Heidein get smaller and smaller in her sight until she couldn't see it at all.

"Okay." The red-haired man put him down in the middle of the endless desert, and supported him with both hands, "From now on, we will..." His face changed suddenly, and he pressed his palm on the position of his heart, and then went berserk torn clothes.

Neia subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest, but he pushed it away.

The red-haired man stared at the wound at his heart, his face was too fierce to look directly at: "Who is it? Who killed you!"

Is it a murderer?

Neia recalled that when she was cut open, she didn't seem to feel any pain, let alone the curse brought to him by the red-haired man.

His silence made the red-haired man's face even more ugly.He raised his hand and pressed the scar on his heart, his face soon became darker and darker: "Godhead... Where is your godhead? You haven't recovered your strength? So who was protecting you before?"

A series of questions, each of which was beyond Neia's knowledge.He could only stare blankly at the red-haired man roaring and going crazy.

This appearance of him overlapped with the person in the dream in Neia's mind, making the dream real.

"Why don't you talk!" The red-haired man couldn't bear it anymore.

Neia said: "I don't know what to say. I don't know who you are, I don't know what you are talking about...I even, a little don't know who I am." The once clear identity, in the familiar tone of the red-haired man , becoming somewhat blurred.

Who is he?

Why would the red-haired man know him and pester him?

Is the godhead he was talking about the thing that was taken out of his heart?

But why is it in his body?

Too many questions circled in Neia's head.

However, when the other party began to explain their doubts, Neia realized that there was an answer in this world called—to make thinking more confused.

"I am Ston, the God of Slaughter."
