Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]
Chapter 73
If a ranking could be made centered on "who cares most about Alan and Eli's emotional development", and Hall would be ranked second, no one would dare to take the first place.
Hall let out an "oh" in his heart when he noticed that the gloomy aura that still shrouded the blond-haired young man before the evening's parting had been swept away, that the other party's brows were stretched, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.
He rubbed his chin, waved to the person who had just finished talking to him, and signaled that he would be excused for a while, and then, under the curious gaze of the other party, he burrowed into the wall next to him——
Eli was walking in the outer corridor well, but passing by here, he didn't notice that he passed a room just now, when he heard someone next to him say: "Hi!"
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a shadow approaching from the corner of his eye, and Hall's sword hummed slightly. Eli guessed that the "shadow" was Hall, and he stopped and turned his head. As expected, he saw a familiar head and half body coming from Protruded from the wall.
Hall is like a big mushroom growing thriving on the cracks in the wall, maintaining such a "half out of the wall" appearance and chatting with Eli.
He winked at Eli. "Good news, I guess?"
Being able to roughly "see" Eli's specific situation with the sword of Hall is one of Hall's newly researched skills.
At the beginning of meeting Eli who was carrying the Sword of Hall, he could only feel Eli's movements and emotions with the Sword of Hall, and later he could use the Sword of Hall to give Eli The sound transmission, being able to pin his eyes on Hall's sword to check Eli's situation, are all new sensing application methods that he gradually explored after the encounter.
"...There is good news." Eli was startled for a while by this senior's more bizarre way of appearing on the stage, and then nodded in affirmation of the other party's question.
Thinking of his conversation with Allen not long ago, the faint smile on his lips became deeper.
"Thank you for your enlightenment and advice." Eli said sincerely, "If you hadn't taken me to the grove for a walk in the afternoon, I might have remained in the same state for several days, and I might even have put the whole thing away. Everything screwed up."
"Don't be so unconfident in yourself." Hall got the answer he wanted, and swayed on the wall a few times in a good mood—it looked more like a big umbrella mushroom swaying in the wind.
"Big Umbrella Mushroom" said with a smile: "The biggest creditor is yourself. If you are willing to resist your discomfort and take the initiative to talk to Allen, it is basically half the battle."
Eli still felt that Hall was more responsible, and he thanked Hall again.
Seeing that if the topic continued like this, there would be a risk of developing it into repeated credits, Hall couldn't help but smile at the blond young man's stubbornness in some aspects, and quickly stopped the topic.
"Where are you going now?" Hall asked, who changed the subject, "Have you visited Phoenix? I've been chatting with Stoney here for a long time, and I don't know what's going to happen tonight. arrange."
"Actually, I happened to be looking for you right now." Eli rolled his eyes at the coincidence, and he said, "Alan and I went to Elder Phoenix just now, but he has already entered the observatory, we have to go tomorrow Come back in the morning, I heard that you are here, and you came here specifically to find someone."
Because it was not too early to arrive at the Hall of the Lord of the Undead, and after talking with Allen, they talked directly until it was almost dark. After Eli nodded for Allen's waiting consultation, the two of them just lit up in the sky The starlight goes back.
Elder Phoenix threw a "hook" when he first met in the afternoon. He said that he has been waiting for Alan Eli and Hall to come to the main hall together for more than 30 years, but how can he say "more than [-] years" From the beginning, what kind of divination he did back then, apart from saying that the three of them would travel together one day, whether there was any other important content in the prophecy, this elder who is good at divination and can be tricky has not mentioned a word.
Wait for Allen and Eli to return to the gate of the main hall.After finishing their private affairs, they were about to get back to business. When they asked Elder Phoenix about the prophecy, it was Elder Yuriu who greeted them at the entrance of the main hall.
Compared with Phoenix, Yuriu looks at least ten years younger in appearance. His eyes are extremely deep, and his forehead is slightly protruding. At first glance, his face is not friendly, but as long as you meet his eyes and notice that he is calm If you look into his eyes, you will find that his personality and temper are not like his appearance, he is an unexpectedly easy-going and friendly high-level undead.
"Phoenix went to his observatory when the stars were just rising." Yuriu said, "He asked me to leave a message for you——before the sun rises tomorrow morning, you can get the most confusing thing so far." the answer to that question."
Angelo is not rich in astrologers and warlocks, and the stargazing in Alberta College is only an elective course. Rather than formally teaching students how to divination, it is more of an entertainment nature.
Therefore, before coming to Kalby, Eli hadn’t heard people use such a way of speaking such words as “star”, “sun”, and “trajectory” frequently, and he was a little confused for a while. In the fog, I had to turn to look at Allen.
When he found that Eli began to calmly ask himself for help when he was confused again, and his eyes fell and he didn't retract again, Allen found that his mood had improved significantly in an instant.
He stretched out his hand and patted Eli on the back: "Once Elder Phoenix enters the observatory, it will be do-not-disturb time until he comes out. Let's get up early tomorrow morning and come back before the sun rises. He will be there then." Tell us the answer."
So until Alan took him to say goodbye to Yuriu, went to another side hall and called Hall according to Yuriu's guidance, and when the three of them met and walked together again, Eli was still thinking— —
What time should it be before the sun rises?
When the blond-haired young man remembered this question and he could ask Allen himself, he found that they had entered a new teleportation circle.
"Where are we going now?" In the glowing light of the magic circle, Eli asked somewhat belatedly.
Allen pulled him to his side naturally: "Go to a place where we can rest overnight."
"Although the undead elders live in the main hall, the main hall cannot provide food and lodging for human beings." Hall interjected.
Eli followed Allen's strength and took two steps forward. He stood side by side with Allen, looked down at the magic circle again, and suddenly felt that the bright lines were very familiar: "This is... the pattern on the floor tiles. carved?"
"Or it would be more appropriate to call it 'magic pattern'." Allen replied.
The carvings and reliefs in the entire main hall are not meaningless. They basically condense energy on each of them. If Alan stood a little to the side just now and stepped on the two floor tiles on the far left and outside the circle, then right now, What he activated would be the teleportation array going in the other direction.
Eli received a lot of popular science, but he didn't have time to take a closer look at those wonderful magic patterns.Then they followed Allen to their destination tonight-a hotel opened on the undead market.
From the appearance of the hotel, it is a three-story building with a spire, an ordinary residence.
But when you walk in, you will find that its inner space is at least three times larger than its outer shape. In fact, it has four floors, and the height of a single floor is nearly five meters. Each floor is spacious enough to be used as a meeting hall.
"Welcome." The hotel receptionist was a tall female undead. The smile on her face froze for a moment when she saw two humans walking in, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"Hello, I don't know if you still remember me." Allen greeted the waitress, "I also came here a few months ago, and that day was also your evening shift."
"Element God, of course I remember you!" After the receptionist's eyes widened forcefully, they almost occupied about one-third of the whole face, making the proportion of her facial features immediately out of balance, which looked very weird.
But relatively, because her eyes are too big, the emotions inside are also clear and easy to understand. It can be seen that she is really surprised and happy.
"I didn't expect to welcome human returning customers here, but please don't think too much, this is by no means unwelcome, I'm glad you can come again-you even brought a new human friend!" Big eyes The waitress spoke too fast, and while she was speaking, Eli saw that her arms were like stretchable rubber products. She was still facing her extraordinary guest, but her arms were stretched out to the registration book ten meters away. , and took the register and quill in the blink of an eye.
"Let me see, your previous room was on the top floor—isn't it Mr. Alan Wolfe? That room happens to be vacant today. How many people do you want it to be? What size bed? Tonight The night is pretty good, do you want to make the roof transparent so you can see the stars?"
Eli is still digesting that the room can be changed, and even the layout details inside are optional and variable information content, and Alan has already made a series of decisions with ease.
The quill automatically swiped in front of the waitress, and as Alan's voice fell, a room adjustment plan was also generated.
The waitress tore off the piece of paper that recorded the plan, and folded it up several times deftly. The piece of paper seemed to be given life force suddenly. With a slight shake, it turned into a paper-folded bird, fluttering its wings. Fly to the top floor.
"The moving stairs are in the left wall, tap on the flower painted on the wall, give out the room number, and the stairs that can take you to the corresponding floor will appear—do you remember how to operate it?"
"I still remember, it was hard work." Allen declined the waitress' intention to lead the way. He noticed that the other party's eyes had passed him and stared at Eli for a while, while the blond young man seemed unaware, just looking at the pair It was a very novel hotel for him.
He calmly took a step forward obliquely, and blocked Eli: "We can go there by ourselves, and we don't need to lead the way, thank you."
"Well, okay." The waitress' eyes fell back on Allen, and she blinked, "Please."
Allen led Eli towards the stairs.
Eli still didn't realize why Alan had to gently push his shoulder to let him, who didn't know his way, go ahead, but because Alan's hand fell on his shoulder before he reached the stairs, he could use it at any time. The movement told him the direction, even though he felt a little strange, he still walked forward in this posture, and continued to look around at the layout and structure here.
Right now, it is this dizzying new thing that attracts his attention more.
Under the guidance of Allen, he successfully summoned the stairs. With a little excitement of encountering a giant new toy, when Eli was groping for the handrail of the stairs and going upstairs, he stopped suddenly after reaching a certain step.
Allen stopped following him, and saw the blond young man turning his head with a rather inexplicable expression.
"Ellen."
"Ok?"
"...Where is Senior Hall?" Finally realizing that they seem to be short of staff, because he suspected that he and Alan had accidentally lost Hall, Eli even looked a little panicked.
"He was still there before he entered the door." Allen looked around, but he was not too worried that Hall would lose him. He rubbed Eli comfortingly - the hand should have been directed at the back or shoulder Yes, but for some reason, the final landing point was the other party's head, "Don't worry, he probably has a temporary place to go around again, or drifted somewhere next door, and will come back."
The moment he was rubbed, Eli was touched on the head before he realized it. He was relieved of Alan's composure, turned around and continued to walk up two steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped again.
"...Eli?"
Hearing Alan's doubtful voice coming from behind, Eli realized that his courage to confess to himself seemed to have been exhausted in the evening, and it was really impossible to tell the black-haired young man his true thoughts again, so he went I had no choice but to say "nothing" quickly, forcefully lead the topic to the stairs, and invited Alan to continue upstairs together.
Downstairs, the waitress was still staring at her overly wide eyes. She heard the sensor bell at the door making a movement, but followed the sound and looked towards the door, but there was no figure at the entrance of the lobby.
In Calby, it is not surprising to have "invisible guests" at your door.
The waitress said "Welcome" in a natural manner, and when she blinked again, a young man floating in mid-air appeared in front of her.
The waitress vaguely felt that the young man's face was a bit familiar, and if the fact that he could float was not mentioned, he didn't look like an undead.
But before she could think about it, she saw the other party nodded at her kindly, and asked, "Did two human-like residents come here just now? I was with them, can you please tell me if they live here?" What floor is it on?"
If the visitor directly asked the room number of the guest, the waitress would not easily tell the other party the room number of the two humans due to the quality of the practitioners, but the other party only asked the floor, so the waitress tried to communicate with the black-haired The room that the young man set up was connected to the communication, but what he received was the feedback that the guest had not arrived in the room. After a few seconds of deliberation, she still told the other party the floor.
"Thank you, I can probably catch up with them now." Hall said, turning around and leaving.
Before turning around completely, he suddenly thought of something again, turned back, and coughed to cover up under the suspicious gaze of the waitress: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, the young man who booked the room is black-haired Is that right? He’s more familiar with Calby – did he book a double or a triple? If it’s a double, I might need a room for myself.”
From the waitress' point of view, this question did not involve the customer's privacy. She didn't go into details, but only talked about the room type in general.
——Alan ordered a two-bedroom suite for three people.
Hall thought about the structure of this "two rooms and three people" room, and couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you!" Faced with the host's increasingly puzzled gaze, he waved at the host in a good mood, and instead of walking towards the stairwell, he floated upstairs.
When Hall and Alan Eli met smoothly, they happened to meet at the door of the room.
Allen keenly sensed a bit of narrowness from the senior's expression, and he didn't know why, so he opened the door neatly with his hands.
Because I didn't understand what this senior was trying to narrow down, why did he look a little wretched after going out for a circle, so when Alan led the other party and Eli around the room, Eli couldn't help being curious. After studying the half-transparent ceiling, Allen turned his head and found that Hall was staring at the bed in the room. The previous cramps were gone, and he still seemed a little regretful.He is very strange.
"Senior." Allen called Hall, and he asked bluntly, "Do you think there is something wrong with the room?"
"No." Looking at the two standard single beds in the large room, Hall sighed, "No one has a problem, but I have a problem."
Allen: "...?"
I wanted to ask Hall again what happened, but inexplicably, Allen felt that it was better for him not to continue asking.
It just so happened that Eli didn't know what he found. He greeted Allen with excitement in his voice, and Allen asked Hall to do whatever he wanted. If he wants to go out again, please say hello before going out next time.
Hall shrugged, saying that he wanted to go out for another turn now.
The senior, who decided to go out for a walk to calm down, also told Allen that when he was strolling nearby, he found that tonight was the half-monthly night market day for the undead.
The so-called "Night Market Day" is actually very similar to the gatherings that are often held in human villages and towns. On this night, large and small stalls will be set up in the specially designated "Night Market Area", and the stall owners will fill them with goods. Filled with small stalls, the streets at night will be more lively than during the day, and you can find a bunch of rare gadgets in the "outside" world.
You can take Eli to see it later - Hall didn't say this directly, but Allen read the unfinished words from his expression.
When Hall made fun of himself and Eli in the past, Allen was basically calm and unmoved by those jokes.
But today, perhaps because he finally discovered his change and realized that his mentality was different from before, he actually felt a little embarrassed under Hall's teasing.
"Alan?" Eli yelled again after waiting for someone to pass by.
Allen heard footsteps approaching him and Hall.
Hall's eyes fixed on the black-haired young man's face for a few seconds, and he blinked suddenly, the regret that had been faintly lingering around him before was swept away for some reason.
"Then I'll go out first." The brown-haired senior laughed and ran away through the wall before the blond young man reached Alan's side.
Later, Eli only saw Hall's back, and felt that the opponent's wall-penetrating skills were getting more and more proficient.
"Did Senior go out again?" Eli asked suspiciously.
"Well." Allen turned his gaze to Eli, "What do you want me to see?"
"Over there." Eli's attention was easily diverted.
What he wanted Allen to see was the retractable window sill in the room.
The window sill looked like an ordinary window sill less than two fingers wide, but when Eli put his hand on it inadvertently, he found that the window sill would also stretch, and quickly became as wide as his palm, making him You can rest your whole hand on the table.
Then he tried to put his arms and legs, and the window sill continued to extend outwards, and finally there were more cushions and pillows out of thin air, and it became a small sofa floating in front of the window sill.
Allen had stayed in this hotel when he came to Kalby last time, and these arbitrarily changeable room arrangements were not so new to him, but Eli's cheerfulness was very contagious, and he looked at the other party as if he had entered a life-size toy He studied and groped around like a room, and every time he looked at Eli, his eyes became softer.
When Eli looks up from his "toy" and begins to wonder if he's overexcited, almost like a preschooler with a new baby, he glances in Ellen's direction, then freezes.
Allen was looking at him.
The facial features that are too rigid most of the time on weekdays look surprisingly soft at this moment. The brows of the black-haired youth are stretched, the corners of the eyes and lips are curved, and the eyes seem to have been dyed by the lights in the room. , that warm-toned gaze unhurriedly cast from the fundus of the eyes, and landed on the body, as if it could warm the focused piece of skin across the air.
is warm.
Eli was a little lost in his thoughts, and was almost bitten by a "monster box" he was playing with.
The "monster box" is a small storage box with teeth, and there are some items that the hotel provides to the guests for free. This small box is not a living thing, but it has a certain consciousness. You have to touch it before opening it every time. The top of the box, if you touch it happily, it will obediently loosen its little teeth and show the contents of the box to others.
It was because Eli watched Alan accidentally for a long time, and after the monster box was opened for a single time, and he didn't touch it to give himself a "continuation time", the small box bit into a warning.
Thanks to Eli's good body reflexes in the past, before he realized what happened, he suddenly felt that the fingertips of the strong wind had retracted first, and then avoided the blow.
Eli: "..."
Allen: "...poof."
Allen kept looking at Eli, and of course he saw the scene where Eli was almost bitten on his finger.
Although it is very unkind to tease people face to face, the expression on the blond young man's face when he looked back at the box really made people laugh.
He quickly stopped laughing and coughed lightly: "Want to go for a walk?"
"……Well?"
It took about 5 minutes before Eli realized that this was an invitation.
He stood up a little confused, and followed Allen out of the house after saying hello.
Before Allen reached out to open the door, he heard Eli's voice drifting from behind again.
"Can I take this as a date?" The blond young man asked hesitantly and cautiously. He didn't know if it was because he didn't have enough confidence, so he consciously adjusted his volume down, and his voice was very soft.
Why are you so cautious?
Alan thought in his heart, he continued to raise his hand to open the door, and the answer that he hesitated for a while suddenly became firm.
"Yes." He said, took two steps outside the door first, then turned around, and made a "please" gesture to Eli behind, "Let's go, I will take you to the meeting of the undead Let’s go shopping, tonight is their half-moon market, for the local residents, this kind of gathering is similar to participating in the market in Wende Town, the sales are all daily necessities, but you should find it very interesting.”
- It's a date!
——Allen admitted it himself!
Eli's attention was almost all focused on the word "able", and the words that followed fell on his ears. His heart jumped involuntarily, and he felt a little flustered. He even wanted to hear Alan say that word again.
This erratic and mysterious state lasted all night, and as Alan walked around the market, Eli seemed to be stepping on a cloud.
Allen had to keep an eye on him all the time, lest his senior in a good mood would be too inflated and lose himself.
This could be regarded as the happiest night Eli had ever spent after encountering drastic changes and turning dark creatures into undead skeletons for no reason.
The erratic prophecies, the mutated truth and the things that are about to move behind the truth, as well as the exile, isolation and vengeance that seem to have passed for a while, but in fact have not really dissipated... none of them will be able tonight No one can disturb him, and no one can make him toss and turn at night.
These precious happy emotions gave Eli infinite courage, built a small four-sided fortress on his heart, and enhanced its resistance to stress.
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, the three of Allen returned to the Hall of the Lord of the Undead as promised.
Elder Phoenix, who retreated briefly last night, was waiting in front of the hall just like the evening before. His gray robe was windless and automatic, and against the background of the first white sky, it made people subconsciously restrain distracting thoughts and look serious.
"You are here." Elder Phoenix greeted Allen and his party. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the pale crescent moon in the sky that had not yet completely set. "It's just in time."
Hearing that Phoenix meant that they didn't need them to talk, none of the three of Allen spoke, and only followed Elder Phoenix to look at the sky.
Phoenix then waved his hand lightly, and a stave of the same height appeared in his hand out of thin air. He tapped the tip of the staff lightly on the ground, and before Eli had time to look closely yesterday, there were five A block of floor tiles lit up at the same time, and the light from them quickly merged in one place, and a thin light curtain was erected, suspended between Phoenix and Allen.
"This is a 'mirror of time light'" Phoenix said slowly in his soothing tone, "these floor tiles are engraved with time magic lines, whenever a major event occurs, because that scene is quite important, These floor tiles will automatically record the scene at the moment when the event happened, and when we want to review the events of the year, we will use the magic lines on the floor tiles to call out this light mirror and let it reproduce the situation for us."
Following Phoenix's introduction, Allen turned his gaze to the light mirror, and he noticed that what was showing on the light mirror was a scene very similar to the moment——
The Hall of the Lord of the Undead, which is like a day all year round, has just emerged from the first white sky, a foggy morning.
"It looks similar to today, doesn't it?" Phoenix asked softly as if he knew what the people in front of him were thinking.
Allen and Eli nodded.
Behind them, Hall looked at the light mirror, but he was concentrating on a certain black spot that just walked into the "mirror".
The magic pattern is fixedly engraved on the floor tiles, and the scenes that can be played back are naturally limited in area. Then the black spot that enters the "mirror" is obviously a person walking towards the Hall of the Lord of the Undead from a distance.
His figure soon became bigger, getting closer and closer to the people on the other side of the light mirror.
"It's... a woman?" Hall whispered after seeing the silhouette of the person coming.
"It's a young woman." Elder Phoenix answered, "It was indeed a morning that was almost exactly the same as today."
Allen glanced at the person who had to be referred to as "she", his eyelids suddenly jumped for no reason, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Eli beside him, but saw that Eli's reaction seemed to be bigger than his .
The blond young man stared at the light mirror in a daze, the fresh look on his face when he saw the time light mirror was gone, and the woman who was gradually "walking towards them" seemed to have an addictive look in her gestures and gestures. The poison actually made it difficult for Eli to move his eyes.
Allen wanted to raise his hand to touch Eli. He felt that Eli was vaguely overreacting, but when the arm close to the opponent moved, he realized that there was an extra hand unconsciously.
—It's Eli.
The blond young man held his arm tightly, and he probably didn't even realize his movements. His complexion gradually turned pale, and the heaving of his chest tended to intensify.
"It's...that cloak." Eli's lips twitched slightly, making a voice that might not have been heard at all if Alan hadn't been close at hand, "I remember the cloak she was wearing, she was wearing the same one that day .”
Because these two sentences were spoken in a low voice and without beginning or end, Allen couldn't immediately understand what they represented.
The first thing he understood was Eli's bewilderment and tension, so he stretched out his hand and patted the back of the other's cold hand.
It only took two shots, and the two clues were suddenly linked together in my mind, instantly linking the events before and after.
Allen suddenly understood Eli's two words.Finally, his expression changed dramatically. He first glanced at Eli again, and then looked at the woman in the light mirror with difficulty concealing his astonishment.
Because I only read the document two days ago, and Allen's memory has always been excellent. Although the face on the portrait in the document is slightly different from the real person, and the real person should be a little more beautiful than the portrait, he still recognized it at a glance—— The person walking towards the Hall of the Lord of the Undead in the light mirror is Jiulisa Winter.
...And the cloak Eli just mentioned, as well as the keyword "that day", can only refer to the dream that the other party had after going to Val's house.
In the dream, Eli was placed at the entrance of the orphanage by a woman wearing a cloak. When the woman reached out to stroke his head and face for the last time, he saw the woman's clothes and the sleeves of the cloak.
"Human beings can't pass through the teleportation circle, and they shouldn't know where the hall of the undead is." Elder Phoenix spoke at the right time, and he said softly. "Julisa first obtained the teleportation key as an undead, chose the teleportation point farthest from the main hall, and returned to her human body after arriving nearby, walking slowly."
Eli and Alan turned to him together.
Relying on his height and standing position, Allen's gaze swept down calmly. He clearly saw Eli's eyelashes tremble slightly, and the other's lips pursed and then relaxed. That pursing may have taken a lot of effort, and the whole The middle part of the lips all lost their color briefly.
"That is, at the moment when Jiulisa walked in front of the main hall, I was still staying in the observatory that day. I was about to release it, and suddenly I got the guidance and got the prophecy that is closely related to you."
The skin under the palm seemed to be soaked in ice water, and it was continuously absorbing heat. Alan paused after realizing that it was impossible to warm Eli's hand back just by covering it. He held the cold hand in his hand, and gently rubbed the back of the opponent's hand twice with his fingertips.
"You can finally tell us the content of the prophecy today, right?" Allen asked.
There were three of them, Eli couldn't make words, Hall looked dazed and didn't know what he was thinking, as if there was only one Allen left, and he could keep his composure before he vaguely glimpsed the truth on the edge, at least he didn't lose his harmony The ability to communicate smoothly with the outside world.
"Yes, child." Elder Phoenix replied, "I can finally say it in its entirety today."
"The content of the prophecy is that the new star is about to light up the sky, and its light will make the lifeless sky resplendent, and the child with hope will be born in the valley of Anduru in Theodore. He and the son of the rebel The encounter is a new starting point for the star trails, the long-cherished wish of the sacrificers will walk with them, the forbidden stars will guide them with the body of flames, the new star trails will straighten the crooked balance, and all the curses will be right on the scale Afterwards, they will all shatter like stardust and dissipate like stars."
"...Anduru Valley is my home address." After a long silence, Allen was the first of the three to speak.
If Allen corresponds to "hope" in the prophecy, then "son of the rebel", "lifelong wish of the sacrificer" and "forbidden star" must also correspond.
Allen's eyes flicked across Eli and Hall - Eli lowered his head slightly, but Hall met his gaze.
"The long-cherished wish of the sacrificer." Hall suddenly smiled wryly, repeating the sentence several times, "When it comes to sacrifice, I can only think of Lawrence, but when it comes to his 'long-cherished wish', I don't know Don’t dare to claim it.”
"...the son of the rebel." Eli finally opened his mouth, and he murmured, "Even if Senior Hall was rebellious, it was because of his own rebellious behavior. He shouldn't be called the 'son of the rebel'... this word is Pointing at me, right?"
Neither Allen nor Hall could answer this question for a while.
The answer is "yes" nine times out of ten, but "yes" means more obscure things.
"Yes."
It was Elder Phoenix who answered Eli.
Eli raised his head, and he first looked at the time mirror that had stopped at some point—Julisa's young face was reflected on it, giving him a well-shaped profile, but a cold expression.
Afterwards, Eli looked at Elder Phoenix.
He suddenly didn't want to speculate anymore, hoping that the other party would give him a correct answer.
"Then, the traitor is..."
"It's Jiu Lisa." Elder Phoenix answered Eli as he wished.
Those quiet gray eyes looked at Eli quietly, with a generous and compassionate expression: "Julisa is your biological mother, you have inherited the incomplete blood of the undead from her, and the dark element converted from the experiment has an incubation period." , She should have done something back then to further reduce the possibility of their awakening, and then sent you back to Angelo."
"..."
Eli was speechless, his fists clenched instinctively by his side.
He didn't notice that his nails dug deep into the back of Alan's hand, and Alan didn't move a bit, as if his hand was also frozen by Eli.
The black-haired young man only tightly held the hand by his side. He waited for the emotions of the people around him to calm down for a while, and then asked Elder Phoenix: "May I ask, Jiu...Will Ms. Winter bring you here back then?" the reason?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Thanks to everyone who bought v, I don’t know how many treasures will bubble up under this chapter today [Enjoy in bitterness.jpg
Today, because I entered v, I released it a little earlier, and then try to update it at around [-]:[-] p.m.!
Hall let out an "oh" in his heart when he noticed that the gloomy aura that still shrouded the blond-haired young man before the evening's parting had been swept away, that the other party's brows were stretched, and there was even a faint smile on his lips.
He rubbed his chin, waved to the person who had just finished talking to him, and signaled that he would be excused for a while, and then, under the curious gaze of the other party, he burrowed into the wall next to him——
Eli was walking in the outer corridor well, but passing by here, he didn't notice that he passed a room just now, when he heard someone next to him say: "Hi!"
At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a shadow approaching from the corner of his eye, and Hall's sword hummed slightly. Eli guessed that the "shadow" was Hall, and he stopped and turned his head. As expected, he saw a familiar head and half body coming from Protruded from the wall.
Hall is like a big mushroom growing thriving on the cracks in the wall, maintaining such a "half out of the wall" appearance and chatting with Eli.
He winked at Eli. "Good news, I guess?"
Being able to roughly "see" Eli's specific situation with the sword of Hall is one of Hall's newly researched skills.
At the beginning of meeting Eli who was carrying the Sword of Hall, he could only feel Eli's movements and emotions with the Sword of Hall, and later he could use the Sword of Hall to give Eli The sound transmission, being able to pin his eyes on Hall's sword to check Eli's situation, are all new sensing application methods that he gradually explored after the encounter.
"...There is good news." Eli was startled for a while by this senior's more bizarre way of appearing on the stage, and then nodded in affirmation of the other party's question.
Thinking of his conversation with Allen not long ago, the faint smile on his lips became deeper.
"Thank you for your enlightenment and advice." Eli said sincerely, "If you hadn't taken me to the grove for a walk in the afternoon, I might have remained in the same state for several days, and I might even have put the whole thing away. Everything screwed up."
"Don't be so unconfident in yourself." Hall got the answer he wanted, and swayed on the wall a few times in a good mood—it looked more like a big umbrella mushroom swaying in the wind.
"Big Umbrella Mushroom" said with a smile: "The biggest creditor is yourself. If you are willing to resist your discomfort and take the initiative to talk to Allen, it is basically half the battle."
Eli still felt that Hall was more responsible, and he thanked Hall again.
Seeing that if the topic continued like this, there would be a risk of developing it into repeated credits, Hall couldn't help but smile at the blond young man's stubbornness in some aspects, and quickly stopped the topic.
"Where are you going now?" Hall asked, who changed the subject, "Have you visited Phoenix? I've been chatting with Stoney here for a long time, and I don't know what's going to happen tonight. arrange."
"Actually, I happened to be looking for you right now." Eli rolled his eyes at the coincidence, and he said, "Alan and I went to Elder Phoenix just now, but he has already entered the observatory, we have to go tomorrow Come back in the morning, I heard that you are here, and you came here specifically to find someone."
Because it was not too early to arrive at the Hall of the Lord of the Undead, and after talking with Allen, they talked directly until it was almost dark. After Eli nodded for Allen's waiting consultation, the two of them just lit up in the sky The starlight goes back.
Elder Phoenix threw a "hook" when he first met in the afternoon. He said that he has been waiting for Alan Eli and Hall to come to the main hall together for more than 30 years, but how can he say "more than [-] years" From the beginning, what kind of divination he did back then, apart from saying that the three of them would travel together one day, whether there was any other important content in the prophecy, this elder who is good at divination and can be tricky has not mentioned a word.
Wait for Allen and Eli to return to the gate of the main hall.After finishing their private affairs, they were about to get back to business. When they asked Elder Phoenix about the prophecy, it was Elder Yuriu who greeted them at the entrance of the main hall.
Compared with Phoenix, Yuriu looks at least ten years younger in appearance. His eyes are extremely deep, and his forehead is slightly protruding. At first glance, his face is not friendly, but as long as you meet his eyes and notice that he is calm If you look into his eyes, you will find that his personality and temper are not like his appearance, he is an unexpectedly easy-going and friendly high-level undead.
"Phoenix went to his observatory when the stars were just rising." Yuriu said, "He asked me to leave a message for you——before the sun rises tomorrow morning, you can get the most confusing thing so far." the answer to that question."
Angelo is not rich in astrologers and warlocks, and the stargazing in Alberta College is only an elective course. Rather than formally teaching students how to divination, it is more of an entertainment nature.
Therefore, before coming to Kalby, Eli hadn’t heard people use such a way of speaking such words as “star”, “sun”, and “trajectory” frequently, and he was a little confused for a while. In the fog, I had to turn to look at Allen.
When he found that Eli began to calmly ask himself for help when he was confused again, and his eyes fell and he didn't retract again, Allen found that his mood had improved significantly in an instant.
He stretched out his hand and patted Eli on the back: "Once Elder Phoenix enters the observatory, it will be do-not-disturb time until he comes out. Let's get up early tomorrow morning and come back before the sun rises. He will be there then." Tell us the answer."
So until Alan took him to say goodbye to Yuriu, went to another side hall and called Hall according to Yuriu's guidance, and when the three of them met and walked together again, Eli was still thinking— —
What time should it be before the sun rises?
When the blond-haired young man remembered this question and he could ask Allen himself, he found that they had entered a new teleportation circle.
"Where are we going now?" In the glowing light of the magic circle, Eli asked somewhat belatedly.
Allen pulled him to his side naturally: "Go to a place where we can rest overnight."
"Although the undead elders live in the main hall, the main hall cannot provide food and lodging for human beings." Hall interjected.
Eli followed Allen's strength and took two steps forward. He stood side by side with Allen, looked down at the magic circle again, and suddenly felt that the bright lines were very familiar: "This is... the pattern on the floor tiles. carved?"
"Or it would be more appropriate to call it 'magic pattern'." Allen replied.
The carvings and reliefs in the entire main hall are not meaningless. They basically condense energy on each of them. If Alan stood a little to the side just now and stepped on the two floor tiles on the far left and outside the circle, then right now, What he activated would be the teleportation array going in the other direction.
Eli received a lot of popular science, but he didn't have time to take a closer look at those wonderful magic patterns.Then they followed Allen to their destination tonight-a hotel opened on the undead market.
From the appearance of the hotel, it is a three-story building with a spire, an ordinary residence.
But when you walk in, you will find that its inner space is at least three times larger than its outer shape. In fact, it has four floors, and the height of a single floor is nearly five meters. Each floor is spacious enough to be used as a meeting hall.
"Welcome." The hotel receptionist was a tall female undead. The smile on her face froze for a moment when she saw two humans walking in, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"Hello, I don't know if you still remember me." Allen greeted the waitress, "I also came here a few months ago, and that day was also your evening shift."
"Element God, of course I remember you!" After the receptionist's eyes widened forcefully, they almost occupied about one-third of the whole face, making the proportion of her facial features immediately out of balance, which looked very weird.
But relatively, because her eyes are too big, the emotions inside are also clear and easy to understand. It can be seen that she is really surprised and happy.
"I didn't expect to welcome human returning customers here, but please don't think too much, this is by no means unwelcome, I'm glad you can come again-you even brought a new human friend!" Big eyes The waitress spoke too fast, and while she was speaking, Eli saw that her arms were like stretchable rubber products. She was still facing her extraordinary guest, but her arms were stretched out to the registration book ten meters away. , and took the register and quill in the blink of an eye.
"Let me see, your previous room was on the top floor—isn't it Mr. Alan Wolfe? That room happens to be vacant today. How many people do you want it to be? What size bed? Tonight The night is pretty good, do you want to make the roof transparent so you can see the stars?"
Eli is still digesting that the room can be changed, and even the layout details inside are optional and variable information content, and Alan has already made a series of decisions with ease.
The quill automatically swiped in front of the waitress, and as Alan's voice fell, a room adjustment plan was also generated.
The waitress tore off the piece of paper that recorded the plan, and folded it up several times deftly. The piece of paper seemed to be given life force suddenly. With a slight shake, it turned into a paper-folded bird, fluttering its wings. Fly to the top floor.
"The moving stairs are in the left wall, tap on the flower painted on the wall, give out the room number, and the stairs that can take you to the corresponding floor will appear—do you remember how to operate it?"
"I still remember, it was hard work." Allen declined the waitress' intention to lead the way. He noticed that the other party's eyes had passed him and stared at Eli for a while, while the blond young man seemed unaware, just looking at the pair It was a very novel hotel for him.
He calmly took a step forward obliquely, and blocked Eli: "We can go there by ourselves, and we don't need to lead the way, thank you."
"Well, okay." The waitress' eyes fell back on Allen, and she blinked, "Please."
Allen led Eli towards the stairs.
Eli still didn't realize why Alan had to gently push his shoulder to let him, who didn't know his way, go ahead, but because Alan's hand fell on his shoulder before he reached the stairs, he could use it at any time. The movement told him the direction, even though he felt a little strange, he still walked forward in this posture, and continued to look around at the layout and structure here.
Right now, it is this dizzying new thing that attracts his attention more.
Under the guidance of Allen, he successfully summoned the stairs. With a little excitement of encountering a giant new toy, when Eli was groping for the handrail of the stairs and going upstairs, he stopped suddenly after reaching a certain step.
Allen stopped following him, and saw the blond young man turning his head with a rather inexplicable expression.
"Ellen."
"Ok?"
"...Where is Senior Hall?" Finally realizing that they seem to be short of staff, because he suspected that he and Alan had accidentally lost Hall, Eli even looked a little panicked.
"He was still there before he entered the door." Allen looked around, but he was not too worried that Hall would lose him. He rubbed Eli comfortingly - the hand should have been directed at the back or shoulder Yes, but for some reason, the final landing point was the other party's head, "Don't worry, he probably has a temporary place to go around again, or drifted somewhere next door, and will come back."
The moment he was rubbed, Eli was touched on the head before he realized it. He was relieved of Alan's composure, turned around and continued to walk up two steps, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped again.
"...Eli?"
Hearing Alan's doubtful voice coming from behind, Eli realized that his courage to confess to himself seemed to have been exhausted in the evening, and it was really impossible to tell the black-haired young man his true thoughts again, so he went I had no choice but to say "nothing" quickly, forcefully lead the topic to the stairs, and invited Alan to continue upstairs together.
Downstairs, the waitress was still staring at her overly wide eyes. She heard the sensor bell at the door making a movement, but followed the sound and looked towards the door, but there was no figure at the entrance of the lobby.
In Calby, it is not surprising to have "invisible guests" at your door.
The waitress said "Welcome" in a natural manner, and when she blinked again, a young man floating in mid-air appeared in front of her.
The waitress vaguely felt that the young man's face was a bit familiar, and if the fact that he could float was not mentioned, he didn't look like an undead.
But before she could think about it, she saw the other party nodded at her kindly, and asked, "Did two human-like residents come here just now? I was with them, can you please tell me if they live here?" What floor is it on?"
If the visitor directly asked the room number of the guest, the waitress would not easily tell the other party the room number of the two humans due to the quality of the practitioners, but the other party only asked the floor, so the waitress tried to communicate with the black-haired The room that the young man set up was connected to the communication, but what he received was the feedback that the guest had not arrived in the room. After a few seconds of deliberation, she still told the other party the floor.
"Thank you, I can probably catch up with them now." Hall said, turning around and leaving.
Before turning around completely, he suddenly thought of something again, turned back, and coughed to cover up under the suspicious gaze of the waitress: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask, the young man who booked the room is black-haired Is that right? He’s more familiar with Calby – did he book a double or a triple? If it’s a double, I might need a room for myself.”
From the waitress' point of view, this question did not involve the customer's privacy. She didn't go into details, but only talked about the room type in general.
——Alan ordered a two-bedroom suite for three people.
Hall thought about the structure of this "two rooms and three people" room, and couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you!" Faced with the host's increasingly puzzled gaze, he waved at the host in a good mood, and instead of walking towards the stairwell, he floated upstairs.
When Hall and Alan Eli met smoothly, they happened to meet at the door of the room.
Allen keenly sensed a bit of narrowness from the senior's expression, and he didn't know why, so he opened the door neatly with his hands.
Because I didn't understand what this senior was trying to narrow down, why did he look a little wretched after going out for a circle, so when Alan led the other party and Eli around the room, Eli couldn't help being curious. After studying the half-transparent ceiling, Allen turned his head and found that Hall was staring at the bed in the room. The previous cramps were gone, and he still seemed a little regretful.He is very strange.
"Senior." Allen called Hall, and he asked bluntly, "Do you think there is something wrong with the room?"
"No." Looking at the two standard single beds in the large room, Hall sighed, "No one has a problem, but I have a problem."
Allen: "...?"
I wanted to ask Hall again what happened, but inexplicably, Allen felt that it was better for him not to continue asking.
It just so happened that Eli didn't know what he found. He greeted Allen with excitement in his voice, and Allen asked Hall to do whatever he wanted. If he wants to go out again, please say hello before going out next time.
Hall shrugged, saying that he wanted to go out for another turn now.
The senior, who decided to go out for a walk to calm down, also told Allen that when he was strolling nearby, he found that tonight was the half-monthly night market day for the undead.
The so-called "Night Market Day" is actually very similar to the gatherings that are often held in human villages and towns. On this night, large and small stalls will be set up in the specially designated "Night Market Area", and the stall owners will fill them with goods. Filled with small stalls, the streets at night will be more lively than during the day, and you can find a bunch of rare gadgets in the "outside" world.
You can take Eli to see it later - Hall didn't say this directly, but Allen read the unfinished words from his expression.
When Hall made fun of himself and Eli in the past, Allen was basically calm and unmoved by those jokes.
But today, perhaps because he finally discovered his change and realized that his mentality was different from before, he actually felt a little embarrassed under Hall's teasing.
"Alan?" Eli yelled again after waiting for someone to pass by.
Allen heard footsteps approaching him and Hall.
Hall's eyes fixed on the black-haired young man's face for a few seconds, and he blinked suddenly, the regret that had been faintly lingering around him before was swept away for some reason.
"Then I'll go out first." The brown-haired senior laughed and ran away through the wall before the blond young man reached Alan's side.
Later, Eli only saw Hall's back, and felt that the opponent's wall-penetrating skills were getting more and more proficient.
"Did Senior go out again?" Eli asked suspiciously.
"Well." Allen turned his gaze to Eli, "What do you want me to see?"
"Over there." Eli's attention was easily diverted.
What he wanted Allen to see was the retractable window sill in the room.
The window sill looked like an ordinary window sill less than two fingers wide, but when Eli put his hand on it inadvertently, he found that the window sill would also stretch, and quickly became as wide as his palm, making him You can rest your whole hand on the table.
Then he tried to put his arms and legs, and the window sill continued to extend outwards, and finally there were more cushions and pillows out of thin air, and it became a small sofa floating in front of the window sill.
Allen had stayed in this hotel when he came to Kalby last time, and these arbitrarily changeable room arrangements were not so new to him, but Eli's cheerfulness was very contagious, and he looked at the other party as if he had entered a life-size toy He studied and groped around like a room, and every time he looked at Eli, his eyes became softer.
When Eli looks up from his "toy" and begins to wonder if he's overexcited, almost like a preschooler with a new baby, he glances in Ellen's direction, then freezes.
Allen was looking at him.
The facial features that are too rigid most of the time on weekdays look surprisingly soft at this moment. The brows of the black-haired youth are stretched, the corners of the eyes and lips are curved, and the eyes seem to have been dyed by the lights in the room. , that warm-toned gaze unhurriedly cast from the fundus of the eyes, and landed on the body, as if it could warm the focused piece of skin across the air.
is warm.
Eli was a little lost in his thoughts, and was almost bitten by a "monster box" he was playing with.
The "monster box" is a small storage box with teeth, and there are some items that the hotel provides to the guests for free. This small box is not a living thing, but it has a certain consciousness. You have to touch it before opening it every time. The top of the box, if you touch it happily, it will obediently loosen its little teeth and show the contents of the box to others.
It was because Eli watched Alan accidentally for a long time, and after the monster box was opened for a single time, and he didn't touch it to give himself a "continuation time", the small box bit into a warning.
Thanks to Eli's good body reflexes in the past, before he realized what happened, he suddenly felt that the fingertips of the strong wind had retracted first, and then avoided the blow.
Eli: "..."
Allen: "...poof."
Allen kept looking at Eli, and of course he saw the scene where Eli was almost bitten on his finger.
Although it is very unkind to tease people face to face, the expression on the blond young man's face when he looked back at the box really made people laugh.
He quickly stopped laughing and coughed lightly: "Want to go for a walk?"
"……Well?"
It took about 5 minutes before Eli realized that this was an invitation.
He stood up a little confused, and followed Allen out of the house after saying hello.
Before Allen reached out to open the door, he heard Eli's voice drifting from behind again.
"Can I take this as a date?" The blond young man asked hesitantly and cautiously. He didn't know if it was because he didn't have enough confidence, so he consciously adjusted his volume down, and his voice was very soft.
Why are you so cautious?
Alan thought in his heart, he continued to raise his hand to open the door, and the answer that he hesitated for a while suddenly became firm.
"Yes." He said, took two steps outside the door first, then turned around, and made a "please" gesture to Eli behind, "Let's go, I will take you to the meeting of the undead Let’s go shopping, tonight is their half-moon market, for the local residents, this kind of gathering is similar to participating in the market in Wende Town, the sales are all daily necessities, but you should find it very interesting.”
- It's a date!
——Allen admitted it himself!
Eli's attention was almost all focused on the word "able", and the words that followed fell on his ears. His heart jumped involuntarily, and he felt a little flustered. He even wanted to hear Alan say that word again.
This erratic and mysterious state lasted all night, and as Alan walked around the market, Eli seemed to be stepping on a cloud.
Allen had to keep an eye on him all the time, lest his senior in a good mood would be too inflated and lose himself.
This could be regarded as the happiest night Eli had ever spent after encountering drastic changes and turning dark creatures into undead skeletons for no reason.
The erratic prophecies, the mutated truth and the things that are about to move behind the truth, as well as the exile, isolation and vengeance that seem to have passed for a while, but in fact have not really dissipated... none of them will be able tonight No one can disturb him, and no one can make him toss and turn at night.
These precious happy emotions gave Eli infinite courage, built a small four-sided fortress on his heart, and enhanced its resistance to stress.
Early the next morning, before the sun rose, the three of Allen returned to the Hall of the Lord of the Undead as promised.
Elder Phoenix, who retreated briefly last night, was waiting in front of the hall just like the evening before. His gray robe was windless and automatic, and against the background of the first white sky, it made people subconsciously restrain distracting thoughts and look serious.
"You are here." Elder Phoenix greeted Allen and his party. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the pale crescent moon in the sky that had not yet completely set. "It's just in time."
Hearing that Phoenix meant that they didn't need them to talk, none of the three of Allen spoke, and only followed Elder Phoenix to look at the sky.
Phoenix then waved his hand lightly, and a stave of the same height appeared in his hand out of thin air. He tapped the tip of the staff lightly on the ground, and before Eli had time to look closely yesterday, there were five A block of floor tiles lit up at the same time, and the light from them quickly merged in one place, and a thin light curtain was erected, suspended between Phoenix and Allen.
"This is a 'mirror of time light'" Phoenix said slowly in his soothing tone, "these floor tiles are engraved with time magic lines, whenever a major event occurs, because that scene is quite important, These floor tiles will automatically record the scene at the moment when the event happened, and when we want to review the events of the year, we will use the magic lines on the floor tiles to call out this light mirror and let it reproduce the situation for us."
Following Phoenix's introduction, Allen turned his gaze to the light mirror, and he noticed that what was showing on the light mirror was a scene very similar to the moment——
The Hall of the Lord of the Undead, which is like a day all year round, has just emerged from the first white sky, a foggy morning.
"It looks similar to today, doesn't it?" Phoenix asked softly as if he knew what the people in front of him were thinking.
Allen and Eli nodded.
Behind them, Hall looked at the light mirror, but he was concentrating on a certain black spot that just walked into the "mirror".
The magic pattern is fixedly engraved on the floor tiles, and the scenes that can be played back are naturally limited in area. Then the black spot that enters the "mirror" is obviously a person walking towards the Hall of the Lord of the Undead from a distance.
His figure soon became bigger, getting closer and closer to the people on the other side of the light mirror.
"It's... a woman?" Hall whispered after seeing the silhouette of the person coming.
"It's a young woman." Elder Phoenix answered, "It was indeed a morning that was almost exactly the same as today."
Allen glanced at the person who had to be referred to as "she", his eyelids suddenly jumped for no reason, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Eli beside him, but saw that Eli's reaction seemed to be bigger than his .
The blond young man stared at the light mirror in a daze, the fresh look on his face when he saw the time light mirror was gone, and the woman who was gradually "walking towards them" seemed to have an addictive look in her gestures and gestures. The poison actually made it difficult for Eli to move his eyes.
Allen wanted to raise his hand to touch Eli. He felt that Eli was vaguely overreacting, but when the arm close to the opponent moved, he realized that there was an extra hand unconsciously.
—It's Eli.
The blond young man held his arm tightly, and he probably didn't even realize his movements. His complexion gradually turned pale, and the heaving of his chest tended to intensify.
"It's...that cloak." Eli's lips twitched slightly, making a voice that might not have been heard at all if Alan hadn't been close at hand, "I remember the cloak she was wearing, she was wearing the same one that day .”
Because these two sentences were spoken in a low voice and without beginning or end, Allen couldn't immediately understand what they represented.
The first thing he understood was Eli's bewilderment and tension, so he stretched out his hand and patted the back of the other's cold hand.
It only took two shots, and the two clues were suddenly linked together in my mind, instantly linking the events before and after.
Allen suddenly understood Eli's two words.Finally, his expression changed dramatically. He first glanced at Eli again, and then looked at the woman in the light mirror with difficulty concealing his astonishment.
Because I only read the document two days ago, and Allen's memory has always been excellent. Although the face on the portrait in the document is slightly different from the real person, and the real person should be a little more beautiful than the portrait, he still recognized it at a glance—— The person walking towards the Hall of the Lord of the Undead in the light mirror is Jiulisa Winter.
...And the cloak Eli just mentioned, as well as the keyword "that day", can only refer to the dream that the other party had after going to Val's house.
In the dream, Eli was placed at the entrance of the orphanage by a woman wearing a cloak. When the woman reached out to stroke his head and face for the last time, he saw the woman's clothes and the sleeves of the cloak.
"Human beings can't pass through the teleportation circle, and they shouldn't know where the hall of the undead is." Elder Phoenix spoke at the right time, and he said softly. "Julisa first obtained the teleportation key as an undead, chose the teleportation point farthest from the main hall, and returned to her human body after arriving nearby, walking slowly."
Eli and Alan turned to him together.
Relying on his height and standing position, Allen's gaze swept down calmly. He clearly saw Eli's eyelashes tremble slightly, and the other's lips pursed and then relaxed. That pursing may have taken a lot of effort, and the whole The middle part of the lips all lost their color briefly.
"That is, at the moment when Jiulisa walked in front of the main hall, I was still staying in the observatory that day. I was about to release it, and suddenly I got the guidance and got the prophecy that is closely related to you."
The skin under the palm seemed to be soaked in ice water, and it was continuously absorbing heat. Alan paused after realizing that it was impossible to warm Eli's hand back just by covering it. He held the cold hand in his hand, and gently rubbed the back of the opponent's hand twice with his fingertips.
"You can finally tell us the content of the prophecy today, right?" Allen asked.
There were three of them, Eli couldn't make words, Hall looked dazed and didn't know what he was thinking, as if there was only one Allen left, and he could keep his composure before he vaguely glimpsed the truth on the edge, at least he didn't lose his harmony The ability to communicate smoothly with the outside world.
"Yes, child." Elder Phoenix replied, "I can finally say it in its entirety today."
"The content of the prophecy is that the new star is about to light up the sky, and its light will make the lifeless sky resplendent, and the child with hope will be born in the valley of Anduru in Theodore. He and the son of the rebel The encounter is a new starting point for the star trails, the long-cherished wish of the sacrificers will walk with them, the forbidden stars will guide them with the body of flames, the new star trails will straighten the crooked balance, and all the curses will be right on the scale Afterwards, they will all shatter like stardust and dissipate like stars."
"...Anduru Valley is my home address." After a long silence, Allen was the first of the three to speak.
If Allen corresponds to "hope" in the prophecy, then "son of the rebel", "lifelong wish of the sacrificer" and "forbidden star" must also correspond.
Allen's eyes flicked across Eli and Hall - Eli lowered his head slightly, but Hall met his gaze.
"The long-cherished wish of the sacrificer." Hall suddenly smiled wryly, repeating the sentence several times, "When it comes to sacrifice, I can only think of Lawrence, but when it comes to his 'long-cherished wish', I don't know Don’t dare to claim it.”
"...the son of the rebel." Eli finally opened his mouth, and he murmured, "Even if Senior Hall was rebellious, it was because of his own rebellious behavior. He shouldn't be called the 'son of the rebel'... this word is Pointing at me, right?"
Neither Allen nor Hall could answer this question for a while.
The answer is "yes" nine times out of ten, but "yes" means more obscure things.
"Yes."
It was Elder Phoenix who answered Eli.
Eli raised his head, and he first looked at the time mirror that had stopped at some point—Julisa's young face was reflected on it, giving him a well-shaped profile, but a cold expression.
Afterwards, Eli looked at Elder Phoenix.
He suddenly didn't want to speculate anymore, hoping that the other party would give him a correct answer.
"Then, the traitor is..."
"It's Jiu Lisa." Elder Phoenix answered Eli as he wished.
Those quiet gray eyes looked at Eli quietly, with a generous and compassionate expression: "Julisa is your biological mother, you have inherited the incomplete blood of the undead from her, and the dark element converted from the experiment has an incubation period." , She should have done something back then to further reduce the possibility of their awakening, and then sent you back to Angelo."
"..."
Eli was speechless, his fists clenched instinctively by his side.
He didn't notice that his nails dug deep into the back of Alan's hand, and Alan didn't move a bit, as if his hand was also frozen by Eli.
The black-haired young man only tightly held the hand by his side. He waited for the emotions of the people around him to calm down for a while, and then asked Elder Phoenix: "May I ask, Jiu...Will Ms. Winter bring you here back then?" the reason?"
