The beautiful boy who was reborn in the dark world of women

"I……"

There was an unprecedented confusion in Lor's eyes.

Should I save her?

But why save her?

……

The young guard knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. She cried and begged, even though this wish went against the god she believed in.

"I have to protect her. I promised my teacher that I would protect the king. She has suffered enough and is so pitiful. I can't just watch her suffer. I can't do it. I can't do it!"

"Whether you are a wizard or something else, I beg you...save her!!!"

The emotion contained in those words is so dazzling.

The people who had sunk into the deep sea seemed to see a faint ray of light from the sky, which penetrated the water and shot into the deep sea.

……

"I won't lock you up, but I will lock the door so they can't find you, but don't try again..."

"You can't leave here anyway, so just live here peacefully. I will find a way to bring you water and food. Just live peacefully like this, okay?"

The girl's pitiful eyes flashed before Lor's eyes. She was clearly talking to a prisoner, a thief, but her eyes looked so humble.

Just like a homeless puppy.

Lor lowered his eyes, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.

His thin, tender lips slightly opened and he murmured softly.

"So that's how it is. So that's what I promised."

As if he had finally convinced himself, he suddenly looked much more relaxed, with the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a long-lost smile.

he called briskly.

"Lina!"

The girl was about to put the mask on her face, but when she heard the call, she paused and looked over there.

Unexpectedly, a faint fragrance hit my face.

The incredibly beautiful face was within reach. Lor came in front of the girl, his breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Lingna, it's easy to tell the truth from the false. Don't look at what he says, look at what he does."

It’s so, so close!

"you……"

The girl was obviously a little shy and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

The young man in front of her suddenly moved closer, held the girl's face, stood on tiptoe, and spoke softly.

"Since you are so pitiful, I will give you a little comfort."

pat.

The mask in the girl's hand fell directly to the ground, but she was unaware of it.

The cool touch, like a dragonfly touching the water, made her entire face turn red instantly.

"Wow, you're smoking."

Lor said with a somewhat amused tone.

"You, me, you..."

The girl had stars in her eyes, spoke incoherently, and danced around in a very anthropomorphic way.

The virtual body on the other side looked at this scene with resentment and said coldly.

"Lina, he's playing tricks on you, can't you see?! No wizard would fall in love with a mortal! You can only become a king--"

"You're being a little too noisy."

Snapped.

Lor stepped lightly, and the faceless mask under his feet broke into two pieces. As the mask shattered, the face of "Lor" in the darkness suddenly became blurred.

The darkness around was receding, gradually revealing the enclosed rock outline.

Lor and Lingna returned to the tomb of the nameless king again.

Lor looked at the "Book of Nimo" held in the girl's hands. It was closed, but seemed to want to open, stirring up the darkness.

A golden arrow suddenly shot down from top to bottom, piercing through the center of the cover and piercing the entire book.

So it became quiet. Lor took the book from the girl and threw it on the sarcophagus beside him. The arrow stuck in the book emitted a faint light.

Like a rather grotesque lighting object.

After a long while, Lingna finally calmed down. She stared at the young man and confirmed that the one in front of her was the real Lor.

Her expression was very excited, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and asked with a bit of disappointment.

"But if I am not the reincarnation of the Nameless King, but just an ordinary girl, how could a wizard like you know me?"

The girl was in low spirits. She stared at the broken mask on the ground, as if she was staring at her own broken life.

"I have nothing. Apart from this identity, I have nothing."

“If I can’t be Aminimo, what can I be?”

Lor looked at her and said seriously.

"Lingna, you can be anyone, including Aminimo, but I still hope that you can be yourself."

"In fact, you have never been ordinary, long before the day you were chosen... Do you know how you were chosen?"

Lore asked.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she said, as if reciting, the words that Ankoyi had once told her.

"After the death of Aminimo in my previous life, the funeral and purification ceremony were completed within a month, and the chief priest predicted the direction of my reincarnation."

"Thirteen tomb-guarding knights accompanied the high priest across the land of confusion, searching for the baby girl who was born on the night of my death... It wasn't until I was five years old that my identity was confirmed."

"When I turn seven, I will enter the mausoleum to receive instruction. One year later, I will succeed to the throne... That's what they told me."

Lingna paused and added.

"That's what I believe."

"Do you still believe it now?"

Lor asked softly.

The girl stopped talking, her eyes looking so fragile that it made people feel distressed.

"Lingna, no one can go through thousands of reincarnations. You are not the reincarnation of Amonimo or anyone else, but you have still been the king for more than ten years."

"You have been the king for the past ten years. Even though you haven't done much, you have not neglected your responsibilities."

"That's because they think I'm the reincarnation of the king..."

"So you are?"

"..."

Lor took Lingna's hand and led her out of the tomb of the Nameless King, facing the dark and deep passage.

"Lingna, do you see the darkness in this tomb? They are the power left by the gods, the most loyal guards of the Book of Nimo. Are you familiar with them?"

The girl stared at the dark passage in front of her. There was no doubt that she had explored it day and night before. This maze-like passage with thousands of twists and turns was as familiar as her home.

"very familiar."

"Wizards call them divine powers. So, Lingna, if mortals are exposed to divine powers for a long time, there will only be two results."

"Either die because you can't bear the infection of divinity, or awaken the corresponding divinity."

Lor exclaimed.

"Perhaps in these thousands of years, you are the only king who is not affected."

"No wonder there was a problem with the inheritance of the Serpent Kingdom's throne. Their biggest problem was that they chose you."
