[Dragon Age] Ring

"Judge..."

"Karen?"

Lovelan stopped her steps to step out of the war room, she was not surprised that the commander had something to say.Cullen has never been a person who can hide his thoughts, and he has shown disapproval since Morrigan walked into the war room and mentioned the Eluvian mirror.

"That mirror." The commander hesitated to speak, and it was really because of this incident, "If you can find Corey Fiers through it, then it means that he can also reach Tianqing Fortress through the mirror."

Such worries are reasonable, and Lafran can understand what the commander thinks.However, without risk, there is no success. Their enemy is a half-god, and it is impossible to defeat him in a foolproof way.

"I trust Morrigan will not be unprepared."

"It's still dangerous. If the enemy's army comes out in large numbers, we won't be able to resist it at all."

Lovelan laughed: "But no one knows what's in the mirror, what if there are a large number of griffins pouring out?"

"Uh, that's pretty good." Karen touched his neck in embarrassment. "I don't think we know much about this mirror, Solas... uh, sorry."

"...It doesn't matter." Of course Laflan knew why Karen apologized, but she would not let her personal affairs with Solas delay the court's affairs, "I have already asked him, he doesn't look like a mirror Worry."

Karen gave her a worried look, and Lavlan didn't like her companion looking at her with such sympathy.Fortunately, the commander didn't intend to say anything more about it, but sighed: "If you insist, please be careful, judge."

Be careful, gray guardian.

Before dawn Karen thought Emily's hijacking would be the end.But only now did he realize that her robbery was the beginning.Just as she imagined, she successfully passed the robbery ceremony.When the chief mage Erwin announced that she had survived the catastrophe, Karen couldn't control the hand holding the sword at all. He only had time to congratulate Emily in a hurry, and then the accident happened.

No one would have thought that Qiao Wan was a blood mage, not even Emily who tried to help him escape from the circle.When Jovan left Emily and escaped with blood magic alone, the shock on Emily's face was no less than that of other people present.Karen knew that she and Jovan were very good friends. They came to the Dharma Ring almost at the same time. They were similar in age and had the same temper. Good friend betrayed him.

If it wasn't for the gray guard who chose to recruit Emily, Karen couldn't imagine what kind of punishment awaited her.

But it's not a bad thing for her.That night... when he held her deeply in his arms, Emily's words were also engraved in Karen's mind.

She said that the Ring of Law is a gorgeous prison, and living here is no different from dying.There are not many opportunities for mages to leave the Dharma Circle, and joining the Gray Guard is the most upright one.Emily had no choice, and Karen knew she wouldn't pass up the chance.

Karen almost flew down from the ring tower all the way, and when he ran to the hall of the ring, Emily was ready to leave.When Karen saw the Templar knight at the handle door, he swallowed back the name that he almost blurted out.

When Karen ran over, he didn't think much about it, but now he suddenly realized that he didn't know what identity he should use to say goodbye to Emily.

The picture of last night was vivid in his mind, her smooth and pale skin, smiling eyes, and the lingering panting sound in his ears could not go away.Pain and happiness entangled him and tormented him. Emily was his lover, of course she was, but Karen knew very well that he couldn't give her anything she really wanted.His Emily is smart and tenacious, with immeasurable hope and future in his eyes, a small magic ring can't hold her, she doesn't belong here.

After stepping out of the Dharma Circle, Emily became a member of the Gray Guardians. From then on, life or death has nothing to do with the Dharma Circle.

So he stopped.

However, as if she had sensed Karen's arrival, she suddenly turned around.

When he touched Emily's green eyes, Karen felt as if a stone was stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously clenched his fists to avoid her burning eyes.This is the only thing he can do, and Karen knows very well that Emily will never give himself a chance to escape.

She walked up to her.

At such a distance, Karen had to meet Emily's gaze.They were still cuddling each other in the library before dawn, but within half a day, he wanted to see her leave with his own eyes.

And Karen is very clear that her departure is likely to be a farewell.

The gray guard who recruited Emer was a seasoned veteran, and Karen could read in his eyes the awareness and calmness of being indifferent to life and death.When Emily walked in front of Karen, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he didn't say much.

And Emily was never a girl who cared about other people's eyes.She was still wearing the ochre-yellow robe she wore when she participated in the robbery ceremony, and she still had the playful smile that Karen was familiar with: "Aren't you going to say anything at this time, Karen?"

What can I say, what do you want me to say?Is it sad to keep you, or to send you away with a smile?No matter which Karen can do it, he certainly doesn't want Emily to leave him, but he also understands that Emily will never get the future she wants by staying by his side.

"You..." Karen took a deep breath, choked up and said, "You won't come back again, will you?"

He stated the question because Karen knew the answer long before he blurted it out.After saying this, he closed his eyes, he didn't want to see the expression on Emily's face now.

"maybe."

Her tone was so calm, and the decisiveness in it almost broke Karen's heart, but before he could react, Karen suddenly felt Emily's always cold fingers on his cheek.

He gasped and opened his eyes.

Emily's beautiful eyes burst into intense colors, Karen had seen her look like this in the library last night.The enthusiasm and hope in that swept his whole body, as if the upcoming parting could not be an obstacle to his love with her.

She moved closer, almost touching Karen's ear, and spoke softly.

"But we'll see each other eventually, Karen."

After speaking, she took a few steps back, turned around without even giving Karen a chance to react, and left the ring with the elderly gray guard.

Karen didn't come back to his senses until the door of the Ring of Law closed again with a loud bang.He raised his eyes in embarrassment and looked at the Templar guarding the gate. The latter coughed a few times and said softly, "I didn't see anything."

"……thanks."

Karen sighed and touched his ear.It seemed that her breath hadn't let go from his ears, and that determined and confident tone made him, who was already desperate, couldn't help but ignite hope again.Emily was never one to give up easily, was she?

——And what Karen didn't expect was that they met again soon, and it was in the ring.

By the time the Greyguard returned, Ferelden's Circle was engaged in a brutal rebellion.

The author has something to say: I’m sorry, I forgot what Eluvian is translated into Chinese 囧...... And in the timeline of the trial, the squatting will appear through Eluvian!
