The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

The three walked in silence on the way back.

Ersie was in a terrible mood right now.

It was an indescribable feeling, seeing Altos suffer and sternly rebuffing his humble entreaties, he actually felt a vengeful thrill, but the thrill didn't last long - it receded sharply In the end, what is left is more emptiness and confusion, as well as resentment and irritability that cannot be at ease.

He didn't want to delve into the source of this emotion, he just frowned and walked forward in silence.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Hei Luomi has been observing Erxi's expression, and the abnormality of the other party can't escape his eyes, so he finally couldn't help asking.

Ersie didn't seem to hear it at all, and still walked forward with his head down.

"Hei Luomi." Xin said suddenly, "I remembered that I still have something to do, I have to take a step first, you can send the teacher back."

Hei Luomi looked at Xin in surprise, firstly because the other party was able to talk to him in a friendly manner, and secondly because the other party would take the initiative to resign and let him go back alone with Erxi, which was simply impossible in the past.

Hei Luomi looked at Xin probingly for a while, then nodded.

The blond youth stopped. He stood still and watched the two disappear into the distant night before turning around and walking in another direction.

***

It was only after seeing the familiar fence in the small courtyard outside her residence that Ersie suddenly felt refreshed.

He looked around, but only saw Hei Luomi alone.

"Eh? Where's Xin?" Erxi asked in surprise.

"He went back halfway." Heluomi looked at Erxi with a strange expression, "Teacher, you were distracted along the way, of course you didn't notice."

Ersie pursed her lips unnaturally, but said nothing.

He pushed open the gate of the fence, but instead of going in, he turned around and stood in front of Heluomi.

"Just send it here," Ersey said. "Thank you for today."

——Although it is actually nosy.

"Teacher, do you think we are meddling in your business?" He Luomi asked with a half-smile.

Ersie stiffened.

"I know a lot of things. Teacher, you can handle them very well by yourself. You don't need outsiders to intervene at all." Heluomi sighed, "But because we like you, even if we know that nothing will happen, we still can't help but worry about it. Anxiety, if you don’t see yourself, you can’t feel at ease.” He glanced at Erxi while talking, “Teacher, haven’t you ever experienced this kind of mood?”

Ersie lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.

"Teacher, have you really never liked anyone?" Heluomi asked, "Never? Not even in the previous life?"

"I'm tired." Ersey directly issued the order to evict the guest, and turned to push the gate of the fence, "You go back first."

But his hand to push the door was quickly grabbed by someone, who even took a step and squeezed between him and the fence, preventing him from going in.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything." Faced with the vigilant and dissatisfied eyes cast by Erxi, Heluomi smiled slightly, "I just want to ask the teacher a few questions."

The too close body distance made Erxi uncomfortable, he took a step back, and shook off the opponent's hand before speaking.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Teacher, are you and the Son really just simple enemies?"

Ersie frowned, the night was dark, only the street lamp beside the gate radiated a dim light, the expression of the man was blurred in the dim light.

"Otherwise?" Ersie said indifferently, "I almost died at his hands."

"Then why didn't the teacher kill him?"

Ersie snorted coldly, "I don't care."

"But I heard that when you were with us today, Altos has been targeting you." Heromi said, "and everyone said that the prince Ersimule has always been narrow-minded and revengeful? Are you really Can you swallow this breath?"

"Who are you saying is narrow-minded?" Erxi gave Heluomi a hard look, and waved impatiently, "Get out of the way, I'm going back to rest."

"Okay, I'll go in with you." Hei Luomi said with a smile, "Let's sleep together tonight."

Ersie rolled her eyes angrily: "Get lost."

"It's okay if you don't sleep together, you sleep, and I will watch."

"You kid wants to be beaten, don't you!"

Before he knew it, Erxi had returned to his previous tone and expression. He gave Heluomi a warning look. He didn't expect that the person who usually would have to grind for a while before giving up would actually step aside with a good word this time. He also directly helped him push the gate of the fence open.

"Teacher, aren't you going in?" Seeing that person standing there in a daze, He Luomi asked strangely.

Erxi immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Heluomi in surprise, and quickly walked into the yard, closing the door behind him.After walking a few steps along the gravel path leading to the door of the house, Ersie suddenly backed up and turned to look at the people beyond the fence.

"Helomi."

"What's the matter, teacher?"

"Do you want to be the Holy Son?"

Hei Luomi was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect the other party to ask this suddenly.

"Yes." He answered simply.

"reason?"

"Because I want to live longer," Heluomi paused slightly, "at least as long as the demons."

Erxi was surprised: "Why do you want such a long life?"

The black-haired young man didn't speak, just looked at Erxi quietly.Those beautiful dark pupils were astonishingly bright in the dark night, as if there were tiny flames burning in the eyes, and even the gaze cast on them made people feel scorching and fiery.

Erxi looked at Heromi for no reason, and suddenly, he seemed to understand what the answer was.

Just like the first ray of skylight projecting into the night before dawn, and like the first trickle of the flood before breaking through the dam, a strange emotion suddenly rushed into his heart, so strange that he was almost at a loss as to how to react.

Different from the usual half-joking love talk, although the other party didn't say anything at this time, it seemed to have said a thousand words. The tenacious persistence and fiery sincerity were so strong that Ersey couldn't ignore it.

He knew that the other party was serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. It seemed that even a hypocritical perfunctory was a kind of blasphemy, so Ersie quickly lowered his head, suppressed the inexplicable panic in his heart, said "good night" in a hurry, and fell into a wasteland. And escaped.

Hei Luomi watched the man leave as if fleeing, although the heavily closed door seemed to be a kind of rejection, but inexplicably, he didn't feel depressed, and even saw a little hope.

That person's expression just now...was he shy?

He stared at the closed door in the night for a long time, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he smiled quietly.

***

The people from the Temple will stay at the Horstberg Academy of Magic for three days. On the second day, Ersey goes to class normally and does not meet the people from the Temple; It seemed that he wanted to see Teacher Erxi again, but Zeqi refused Erxi directly, so Erxi did not see Altos again until the temple and his party left the academy.

I thought this incident was over, but on the evening of the fourth day, Erxi's communication crystal ball suddenly received a communication request from Zeqi.

"Dean Zeqi, what's the matter?"

Erxi looked at the figure emerging from the projection, and was a little surprised.

Zeqi didn't reply right away, but adjusted the angle of the projection, Erxi saw a stack of beautifully decorated invitations on the table in front of Zeqi.

"This is?"

"Although the people in the temple have left the academy, they have not left Hosta Fort yet." Zeqi explained, "The castellan of Hosta Castle is hosting a banquet to entertain them, and there will be a grand celebration tomorrow, and they will be held in Huosta Castle As a gift to welcome these honored guests, we will hold a theatrical performance in the Great Hall of Starborg. And these..." Zeqi opened the top invitation card, and Ersey immediately saw his name on the exquisite inner cover. "It's an invitation from the temple to invite us to the celebration."

"us?"

"Yeah." Zeqi nodded, "You are not the only one who invited, I and several great magisters are also on the list, and..." He paused slightly, his face was a bit confused, "They also invited Heromi and Xin."

Erxi was taken aback, and finally understood why Zeqi came to find her specially.

Zeqi knew about the conflict between Heluomi and Xin and the priests that night. Although the incident seemed to be under the instruction of Altos, the priests did not pursue it any further, but they must be extremely displeased with Heluomi and Xin. Welcome, so the invitation this time is definitely not a collective decision of the temple visiting group, but probably... a decision of Altos himself.

What the hell is that guy trying to do?

Not only Zeqi, Erxi couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought. Although after the experience that night, he was already somewhat resistant to meeting Altos again, but this time Heromi and Xin were involved...

"Okay." Ersey nodded, and firmly said, "I'll go."

***

On the day of the celebration, Erxi took Heromi and Xin, followed Zeqi and the others to the Castle of the Lord of Hosta.

Regarding the invitation from the temple, Hei Luomi was also very confused, but Xin didn't say anything, and always looked calm and calm.

The Lord of Hostaburg is a gray-haired elder. He is a fanatical believer in the temple. He attaches great importance to the arrival of the people in the temple. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as ecstatic.

Also because of the almost exaggerated enthusiasm of the city lord, all the dignified nobles in the city were invited to the celebration. When Ersey and the others arrived, the castle was already bustling with guests.Different from famous people with titles like Zeqi and others, Erxi and the others just need to be the background boards. Erxi was happy to blend in the crowd and stay out of the way. Until the end of the luncheon, Altos was surrounded by the distinguished guests who visited him. There was no chance of talking to Ersey at all.

Afterwards, everyone left the castle together. First, they went to watch the celebrations in the city. Finally, they moved to the Great Hall of Horstad Castle to watch the performance of the top human drama troupe specially invited by the old castellan to present a gift to the people in the temple.

Ersey had no interest in this kind of stereotyped drama that extolled the teachings of the temple. He wanted to find a remote place and plug his ears to sleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, a priest went downstairs, and the others With envious eyes, he walked up to Erxi and the others.

"Mr. Er, Lord Shengzi invites you and your two students to the VIP room to enjoy the drama performance together." The priest said politely.

Erxi had no choice but to take Heromi and Xin upstairs. After opening the door, he found that there were still several people sitting in the VIP room—Zeqi and several nobles in the city were there, as well as some priests, Otto Sitting in the center with the best view.

The irony of having a blind man come to "see" a play is not at all absurd, which seems ridiculous to Ersey.

Hearing the sound of the door, Altus turned his head, but didn't say anything. Erxi directly chose the seat on the farthest side and sat down. Heromi and the others also sat down next to Erxi.

The play will start soon, and the VIP room is in a very good location. Even sitting in the corner, Erxi can clearly see everything on the stage, but letting the demons come to watch the play that praises the temple and the miracle of the God of Light is simply a waste of time. This kind of torture, Ersie could not stand it after listening to it for a while, his eyes drifted away subconsciously, and observed the people around——

He saw that people like Zeqi and Heluomi, who were not very interested in the temple, were obviously absent-minded at the moment; fanatical believers like the castellan had bright eyes, and even when the actors sang hymns, He also sang piously; Ersey also noticed that Xin was watching the drama very seriously, but because he was always calm and indifferent, it was impossible to see that he was really interested in the drama, Or focus purely out of courtesy.

Erxi's eyes wandered around the room, and finally fell on Altos.

From this angle, he could clearly see that Altos had been clutching the skirt of his chest tightly. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Erxi always felt that there was a cold blue light flashing past the man's tightly clenched hands from time to time. , and very regular, as if communicating something.

Feeling strange in his heart, Erxi sat up straight vigilantly. In the following time, he kept staring at Altos, paying attention to his movements all the time.

But Altos did not have any other abnormal behavior.

From the beginning to the end, the young holy son just sat there quietly, tilting his head slightly, listening to the performance on the stage with his ears.

Time passed by slowly, but this long drama finally came to the last scene. The melodious and ethereal sacred music sounded, and the young and beautiful heroine walked to the center of the stage, ready to express her admiration and devotion to the God of Light with singing, and In the VIP room, Altos suddenly stood up from his seat.

Erxi, who had been paying attention to Altos, tensed up instantly, but Altos just walked forward and stopped until he touched the guardrail in front of the stands.

He raised his head, as if staring at the void in the distance, then opened his lips lightly, and sang loudly along with the ethereal sacred music.

【Do you still remember, the ancient myth】

【The story no one knows】

[Who is standing in the clouds, bathing in the brilliance of God, looking down at the myriad of creatures]

[Who is low in the dust, looks up to the glory of the king, and prays for a thousand years devoutly]

The actors on the stage fell silent in surprise, because she recognized that the person who sang along with the sacred music was His Highness the Son of God, but she was a little puzzled because the original lyrics of the hymn were not sung by the Son of God. This, is it... is this the latest psalm written by the temple?

【Have you ever heard, a sad song】

【Those unnoticed thoughts】

[Who fell from the throne of God, fell into the endless abyss, and forgot his world]

[Who betrayed the decree of the gods, hurt in the name of protection, and turned into a king's sharp blade]

The pious believers in the auditorium also immediately recognized that the lyrics were completely different from the hymns they were familiar with, and even caused a commotion, but the voice of the young saint son was clear and ethereal, like a cool spring in the mountains, which easily calmed them down. Seeing the restlessness of the believers, everyone involuntarily cast their gazes to the second floor, watching the man standing on the stand and singing intently.

【I want to wake you up with this song】

【Who can wake you up】

【I want you to see the so-called truth】

【What is real】

"His Royal Highness?"

The priests in the VIP room were all stunned. Unlike ordinary believers, they certainly knew that this was not a new hymn composed by the temple. It would be disrespectful to the gods to sing lyrics of unknown origin on such an occasion!Even if it is the Holy Son who did this, it cannot be forgiven!

[Don't be fooled by illusions]

【Sweet maybe □□】

【Don't be confused by pain】

【Hell is next to heaven】

Erxi saw those priests rushing up anxiously, trying to stop Altos from singing hymns, but that man seemed to have a barrier around him, and outsiders couldn't touch him at all.

Ersey had never paid attention to the lyrics of the hymn, so he didn't understand the reasons for the priests' anxiety.Although he didn't want to admit it, for some reason, he always felt that this hymn was more pleasing to the ear than anything he had ever heard before. The man's singing seemed to have the power to touch people's hearts, which made him feel like his heartstrings were being plucked , and even... hope to hear more and longer.

Beside Erxi, Xin stared at the young Son of God in the stands. In his usually quiet blue eyes, there was a strange light constantly flickering, like stars flickering on and off in the dark night.

【Who can dispel the fog of your progress】

【Who can take you away from the absurd fate】

【Who can be the light in your life】

【Who can crown you the king's laurel again】

Altus suddenly suffocated, and felt a piercing pain in his chest again.He knew that this was the wrath of the God of Light and a punishment for his blasphemy, but he didn't feel any fear, instead he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a relieved smile.

The boy's voice was not stained with the slightest haze of pain, it was still as gentle as a breeze, as clear as a spring, echoing in the huge auditorium.

【Do you remember】

【Did you hear it】

【Who are you waiting for】

【Who is waiting for you】

【That person is not me】

【why it's not me】

There was a sudden scream and noise from downstairs, because they clearly saw the Son of God standing on the stand, with glaring blood starting to flow from the corner of his mouth.

His body was staggering, weak and thin like a kite that could fall at any time, but he was still holding on tenaciously, and those empty blind eyes seemed to bloom with dazzling brilliance again—the young man stubbornly stared at the void , as if in a final struggle against something unseen.

[But I still want to sing]

【Singing the ancient myth】

【Singing distant thoughts】

【Our God】

【our king】

Suddenly, the singing stopped abruptly.

The melody of the hymn still echoed in the auditorium, but the man could no longer hold on, the barrier around his body had failed, he staggered back a few steps, and fell directly into a pile of chairs.

"His Royal Highness Son!!"

The priests immediately rushed forward. Although the Holy Son had committed a felony of blasphemy, he was still the Holy Son. The priests did not dare to neglect. Some immediately ran out to find a healer, and the rest tried to stop the bleeding of Altus, but it was of no avail.

The VIP room was in chaos, and the corridor outside was full of chaotic footsteps. Many people downstairs had seen the Holy Son coughing up blood. In the hearts of many devout believers, the Holy Son was like a god—their god To the believers, it looked like the sky had fallen.For a while, the scene was completely out of control, and there were screams, crying, and shouting everywhere, and the chaos was unbelievable.

Ersie sat there stunned, motionless.

It all happened so suddenly that he had no time to react, and...he didn't know what he could do.Perhaps being a spectator who stays out of the way is the most suitable for his position and identity, but when he saw that person lying there dying, even though his face was full of pain, that person still struggled to raise his head and looked around blankly, as if While trying to find something, Erxi's cold and cold expression, which had always been frozen, finally showed a hint of emotion.

——He always felt that the person Altos was looking for at this time... might be himself.

He didn't have to pay attention to this person.

He should have known that, as painful as it looked, it was far from Altos' death and he would be fine.

He should have deeply remembered how despicable and shameful things this person had done to him. Even at this moment, he still hated and loathed this person, and never let go of it.

So he didn't understand why he slowly got up from his seat and walked towards that person slowly.

Probably the song just now.Ersey thought.

Even if the other party stopped singing, the melody and lyrics of that song still reverberated in his heart. The gentle and familiar feeling was like a warm greeting from a friend he hadn't seen for many years, which made him feel relieved. Defense, can no longer raise hostility.

He slowly approached the person surrounded by the priests, and the other person's face happened to turn to this side, and then he stopped suddenly as if he "saw" him.

--kill me.

Ersey saw the man speaking to him silently across the crowd, moving his lips.

--……kill me.Kill me soon.

Suddenly, Ersie suddenly remembered.

He remembered why he felt that this scene seemed familiar, because...he had done the same thing before.

--kill me.

——Please, Heluomi.

At that moment, he seemed to see himself back then.

Ersey stood there stunned, and he stared quietly at the man—the man he hated, the man he despised, the man he swore he would never forgive, for a long, long time.

A heavy sigh sounded from the bottom of his heart, and it seemed to be a cold mockery. Erxi slowly opened his palm, as if he was holding something, and suddenly squeezed hard again.

He saw that not far away, Altus, who was surrounded by priests, was shocked suddenly, and his body immediately collapsed limply.

The man's face was always facing this way. He seemed to want to smile at Ersie for the last time, but it was too late. The unformed smile finally froze on the boy's face, like a last kiss lightly imprinted on his forehead. .

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

When you read this, I know that you have accomplished what you thought you would accomplish.

Don't be too surprised, although I can understand how you feel now, because I was equally surprised when I first got this thing and found that there were words stored in it that could be directly projected into my mind.

Now, I have also become a member of the written record, and you will be the same in the future.

I don't know when you started this thing, although I always call you "you", but "you" is actually "I", but, I don't know how many times you are "I".

Yes, I believe that you have read all the previous records, and you should already know that this world is not what you think, it is a world with a linear extension of time, and it is constantly reincarnated. Because I can't get this thing every time, so I can't know this amazing truth every time.

I can imagine the shock in your heart now; I also know that you still keep your mission in mind; but the cruel reality is that you have lost yourself and become their pawn.

Don't rush to refute me, I know you still remember the past, you thought you were still faithfully carrying out the mission entrusted to you by the goddess, but your "in progress" has already become a part of this reincarnation game. Ironic "past tense".

It's not your fault, and what you did was not meaningless, especially remember - if that person comes back again, you must not die a natural death, don't die, let him kill you.You know who he really is, so you should understand why I asked you to—

Only he can send you to "that place".

Although it is no longer the paradise you are familiar with, it has become a devastated hell, but up to now, it seems that only you—that is, "I" can return there again in this way.

Frankly speaking, I don't know what the meaning of going back there is, but since it still exists there, I always feel that I should go back and have a look.

If you find any new clues there, be sure to record what you saw and heard before you die. This kind of continuation record is the only wealth that can provide experience for "I" in reincarnation, and it is also the guide for future reincarnation. The light of how the "I" in the book moves forward.

Don't be depressed, and don't get lost.Like that guy always said - "Don't worry, I'm here."

Although our world is destroyed, he is still there, so this ridiculous game will end one day.

- I firmly believe.
