feed on dragons

Julian's mind went blank.He was completely stunned, and he didn't respond even to Yaqibeier calling him a few times.

There are only two people in the visiting group this time?Just me and Carter?

Impossible, when we gathered behind the palace, His Highness also spoke to Dai Ning?

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." Julian's whole body began to tremble, his voice was trembling, and he kept shaking his head, "Don't be kidding, this time there are three people? Me, Carter, and Dai Ning? That's it, The youngest son of Duke Heron's family, Daening Heron?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yazibel shook his head and said, "The Duke of Herren's family has no sons, only four daughters, and each of them is married, there is no child of this age."

This sentence made Julian feel as if all the blood in his body had been drained.He trembled his lips and didn't know what to say, his whole body was cold.

He finally knew where the sense of disobedience he had been aware of all along came from.

Dai Ning suddenly...as if he didn't exist anymore.No one mentioned it, no one looked for it, and no one remembered it.

Why is this happening?

why?

The shock made him almost lose his ability to speak.Yaqibel looked at him very strangely, fearing that he hit his head when he fell, and there would be some sequelae, so he no longer asked him to describe the complete process, but simply confirmed a few key points that Carter said with him.

——Carter said that you were the one who touched the pattern. As for why you fell into the hole a little far away from the altar together, it was because you noticed the vibration and immediately wanted to leave with Carter, but the place just happened to collapse yes, right?

--I have no idea.If Carter said so, then so be it...

--……good.Then you don't know about a secret door opened in the wall?

--I have no idea.

——How did you decide which pattern to choose?

——I don't know...the one who chose the pattern...not me...

Julian fought back tears, bit his lip and whispered.Aceh Bell and Lun exchanged glances, and the female mage looked worried.She patted Julian on the shoulder, and said gently: "You are probably frightened or affected by the ruins, so you have memory confusion. Don't worry, you have a good rest, as long as you leave the ruins, you will be fine after a while." alright."

The boy shook his head, the tears could no longer be held back, dripping down his cheeks.

You all don't understand, I wasn't affected by the ruins, nor did I break my brain.

Why do you refuse to believe that there really was such a person in the world?

Julian's mind was still in turmoil after Aciebel and Len left.He really couldn't understand why such a big living person suddenly disappeared, the boy walked around the room a few times, and finally walked out of the room, standing in front of Dai Ning's room.He took a deep breath, grabbed the doorknob, and turned it gently.

The door is not locked.

His heart sank.Dai Ning is a very cautious person, he must lock the door when going out, and he also saw Dai Ning lock the door yesterday morning.If he never came back, how could the door be unlocked?

Julian worked up his courage and pushed the door open.What caught my eye was an empty room, with empty desks and small bookcases. Although the bed was covered with quilts, it seemed that no one had slept in it.

It was almost as if it was empty.

Julian felt his legs start to give way.He braced himself up, walked in and turned around, there was no vitality in the air, it smelled like an empty room, he opened the wardrobe and every drawer, they were all clean.

No one lives in this room.

"how so……"

Julian staggered out of the room and slumped on the floor.

"Huh, Julian?"

"What's wrong with you, Julian? Are you dizzy?"

Two voices that sounded almost identical sounded from the side. Julian was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Huang and Yue standing in front of him with worried expressions.One of them reached out to him and said, "Are you okay? Can you stand up? Does it hurt anywhere?"

"How about I go to Lord Lun?" The other said worriedly, "He just had an accident yesterday. This kind of thing can be big or small."

"Okay, then hurry up..."

"No, no, it's okay, I'm fine."

Julian stood up by himself, his voice was trembling, and he asked with the last sliver of hope: "You guys, do you remember that Dai Ning who entered the ruins with us? He is also the captain of our pair, the main spokesperson, you guys Do you remember?"

The twins looked at each other, revealing a puzzled expression that Julian was familiar with but didn't want to see.

"No." Yue tilted her head.

"From beginning to end, it's just you and Carter. The captain is Carter."

Julian no longer remembers how he got back to his room.He curled up on the bed, feeling his mind was in a mess.He didn't even go out for dinner. During this period, Acibel came to see him, but Julian's face was so frightening that the eldest prince almost wanted to call for a doctor; Well, after finally sending Archibald away, he crawled back into bed.

Dai Ning's disappearance made him feel very scared.Scared, sad, and incomprehensible.He tried hard to recall every bit of his interaction with his friends, but found that those memories seemed to be blurred.

"Don't, stop, don't do this..."

Julian hugged the quilt helplessly and wept.

Don't take him away.No matter who you are or why you want him to disappear, please, at least don’t take him away from my memory...

I don't know when the night fell, Julian nestled on the bed, fell asleep when tired of crying, and continued to think hard when he woke up, trying to remember Dai Ning's appearance.He got up once and wanted to write those things down, but found that he couldn't write for some reason.

--something is trying to kill him--

"Master Hal, Lord Hal, why is this happening? You said that Dylan has already passed... Everything can be left to Dylan... Then why is it like this now?"

Julian whimpered.All this is too beyond the scope of his comprehension. It takes only a few hours to be alone. How can there be nothing?And it's not dead, it's not injured, it's not even missing, it didn't exist in the first place, no one remembers... Who can accept this?

I don't know how many times I cried until I fell asleep.Julian fell asleep in a daze and didn't sleep well, and there were still wet tears on his face.Suddenly, a few lights flickered in the dark room, and then, two figures suddenly appeared beside his bed.

"...Lean. Julian."

One of them sat on the bed and reached out to shake him awake.Julian frowned and blinked sleepily, but his sleepiness vanished as soon as he realized who the voice belonged to.The young man looked at the person who was sitting by the bed shaking himself awake in disbelief, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a while.

It's Daining.

"Dainin...!"

Julian rushed to hug him and burst into tears.

"Dai Ning! You...you are fine...that's great! Tomorrow...tomorrow we will go to find His Majesty and tell him that you really came...I didn't break my brain, nor was I affected by the ruins, obviously you It really exists..."

Dai Ning didn't speak, but just patted his friend on the back to help him feel better.Dylan stood behind and looked at the two teenagers with a sad look on his face.

"Julian... I have something important to tell you."

After Julian's mood stabilized a bit, Dai Ning spoke leisurely.Hearing what his friend said, Julian raised his heart that had just let go.He wiped away his tears, held Dai Ning's hand, and said tremblingly, "What's the matter...?"

"His Highness Aceh Bell is right. I no longer exist."

Dai Ning's voice was a little hoarse at the end, but he still tried his best to finish.He looked at the astonished Julian, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a wry smile. "But...it really disappeared completely."

"Li... Liar! Aren't you here? Didn't I hold your hand? How could you not exist?"

Julian stretched out his hand in a panic to confirm that Dai Ning was indeed tangible and warm, so he was obviously a real person?

"Let me explain this. Dai Ning just woke up, and he doesn't know very well. It's because he was arguing to see you." Dylan walked to the bed and sat down, looked at Julian, and said, " My identity...you heard what Hal said, right?"

Julian looked at those strange eyes shining with stars, and nodded blankly.

"That's good. Let me tell you something you don't know." He cleared his throat, "Well, when I found Dai Ning, he was already dead. This is because I gave him a piece of Dragon Flame Jade, leaving Only by holding his breath can he last until I pass. Basically...Daining died in my arms."

Julian felt that the direction of the discussion was not quite right.

"Wait a minute, but Dai Ning is still here? And it seems that the whole body is in good condition, there is no injury..." He asked in a panic: "Besides, if Dai Ning is really dead, why did he disappear? "

Hearing this, Dylan smiled wryly.

"Listen to me. I am the star dragon, and I can see everyone's star trails—the so-called star trails are like fate. Every line, every point, is your choice, or It's a major event that happened to you."

"However, I only have the right to see, but not to change. No one in the world is allowed to change the star trajectory. The only thing I can do is to guide the target to another path, but I cannot change the established trajectory."

"When Dai Ning decided to come, he had already embarked on the shortest star path. I know everything, but I can't interfere--this is the law of the world. What is the law of the world? It's a long story, let's go Don’t talk about it, as long as you know that it’s an unbreakable rule. But, even so... I can’t do nothing knowing that he will die.”

Dylan turned his head to look at Dai Ning, with guilt, uneasiness, but firmness in his eyes.

"The only way to save Dai Ning is to continue the star trail."
