Tribute to the Demon King

Like burnt firewood, like a living corpse, wandering around, looking for someone.Until completely losing the ability to move, the body solidified into a stone and did not die, but continued to live in the world half-dead and half-alive, without rest.

——Because, the mission has not been completed, and the atonement has not yet ended.

Therefore, even if the body is turned to stone and the soul is burned to ashes, it is absolutely impossible to die——

"Lily... are you awake?"

The chaotic consciousness gradually became clear, and Zhou Yi's concerned voice sounded in Liliana's ear.

Hearing the teacher's call, Liliana wanted to struggle to get up, but found that she couldn't do it at all.

...No, I can't move my body at all.

The body turned into a stone statue like in a dream, completely frozen, too heavy to move.Even opening the eyelids is very difficult.

"……Well."

Relying on her strong willpower, Liliana opened her eyelids with great difficulty.The warm orange light in the bedroom was unexpectedly dazzling.

Looking at everything around him in a daze, it took a long time for Liliana's eyes to refocus on Zhou Yi.

"I'm fine, teacher...huh?!"

As soon as Liliana spoke, she startled herself.

Her voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear what she was saying.It's almost like not drinking water for a few days, or not opening your mouth for months and forgetting how to speak.

Disturbed by this unexpected special situation, Liliana felt a little flustered, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.

"Don't be afraid, Lily. Drink some water first... Don't worry, I'm here."

Seeing a trace of panic suddenly appeared in Liliana's pupils, Zhou Yi immediately comforted her softly with a gentle voice, supported her shoulder with one hand and supported her back with the other, and slowly helped her from the bed stand up.Then he reached out and brought the cup full of warm water beside the bed to her mouth.

After seeing the water glass, Liliana felt her throat was extremely thirsty.She quickly raised her head, coordinated with Zhou Yi's movements, clumsily pecked at the rim of the glass, and slowly drank the water in the glass.

Because the two didn't cooperate very well at the beginning, Zhou Yi was also a bit aggressive in pouring water.Several thin streams of water overflowed from Liliana's mouth, and flowed into the clothes along the delicate collarbone.The only good news is that Liliana didn't choke on it.

After drinking a cup of hot water completely, Liliana immediately felt that her throat was much more comfortable.

…The feeling that my throat was so thirsty that it was about to fall off was really an illusion.

"Old, teacher..."

Liliana snorted tentatively.

After realizing that her voice had also become normal, her flustered emotions calmed down immediately.The body also gradually regained its strength. Although fighting is definitely not possible, it is definitely no problem to drink a cup of water.

But because Zhou Yi hugged her comfortingly and patted her back, Liliana took a while before she spoke softly: "Teacher, I seemed to have a dream just now..."

"...do you remember what dream it was?"

Zhou Yi immediately lowered his head when he heard the words, and looked at Liliana in his arms, who frowned slightly, showing a very interested expression: "Tell me more specifically, Lily."

"...Sorry, teacher. I don't remember too much. Anyway, it's a long, long story."

Having said that, Liliana suddenly paused, a little apology and confusion suddenly appeared on her sleepy face: "Strange, strange, I still remembered it when I just woke up..."

"Ah...it's okay."

Zhou Yi sighed with some disappointment, and then comforted Liliana: "It's okay if you don't remember. Just wake up."

"Synchronization is no better than re-enactment. There is indeed a possibility of sudden death at the moment of death of the coordinator... Sorry Lily, I was too impulsive before. Sudden co-tune, as expected, the mental pressure is too great." Zhou Yi said Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed Liliana's forehead.

However, Liliana shook her head stubbornly.

"It's okay," she said softly, "what Erica can do, I can do too."

...but Erica and you are not the same thing.

Zhou Yi pondered for a while, and finally decided to swallow this sentence back.

"And Lily, is your silver arm okay? Does it fit well?"

Saying that, Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and lifted Liliana's right arm out from under the quilt.

Liliana was taken aback by Zhou Yi's action, but she didn't notice her right hand with the metal gauntlet in the first place.

"Here is the gauntlet I gave you, Lily. It's called Agatharum."

Zhou Yi explained: "Bedivere is a one-armed knight. If the pseudo-servant is completed, it should strengthen all your torso except the right arm to the limit... In this case, maybe the muscles in the right arm will It’s also possible to shrivel up directly. Agatlam is there to protect your right arm.”

"Agatram... the silver-armed Nuada."

Liliana nodded thoughtfully and looked at it carefully.

... Is it an illusion?I always feel that this copper gauntlet is extremely familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

but……

"This thing is so heavy."

Liliana moved her dodge, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It weighs at least ten kilograms."

If I wear this thing, the muscles of my right arm may become more developed...

Thinking of this, Liliana's mind suddenly popped up the above strange picture.

"Is there no feeling of electric current surge? There is also no feeling of burning or strong tearing... If the fit is okay, I will leave first?"
