Dreams on the Green Island

"..."

He didn't seem to feel that a pair of bright and clear eyes like autumn water were watching all this quietly behind the door.

Qi La retreated back, and at the same time imperceptibly closed the concealed door, but did not close it completely.He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

The clear sound echoed in the long and narrow corridor like rain hitting glass.Short, light, echoing faintly.

There was silence at the door for a while.Qi La slightly hooked the corner of her mouth, raised her hand again, and knocked the door slowly but firmly.

"Come in." There was no emotion in the voice from inside.He has always been good at hiding all emotions under the nobility and aloofness like a king.

Qi La walked into a dark study room, and gently closed the door.

"It's so dark." He tilted his head slightly and said.The long hair flows slightly like a snow-white waterfall: "It will hurt the eyes." As he said, he looked up at the huge crystal chandelier hanging on the dome.

Gilgamesh smiled slightly, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A string of tiny flames leaped out from the multiple silver candlesticks, and flew towards the complicated pendant of the crystal lamp as fast as a meteor.The flame deftly bypassed each bundle of tiny pendants and plunged into the candlestick at the top of the chandelier.In an instant, thousands of white flames exploded to drive the darkness into the corner.

Qi La walked quietly step by step, and said at the same time: "Have you packed it?"

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry." He nodded slightly, apologizing in his voice: "I caused you trouble."

The other party still just looked at him without saying a word.He twisted his fingers together, put his elbows on the armrest of the chair, and folded his legs. No one could see through his long and narrow eyes.But he has no expression on his whole body, like a delicate and noble puppet.

"It's okay." He suddenly smiled, the smile was warm and noble, but it made Qi La's back go numb: "Is dinner okay?"

"Hmm? Hmm..." Qi La bit her lower lip lightly, and lowered her head.The shadow cast by the broken hair on his forehead perfectly concealed his expression.

——His smile only makes people feel that the future and the whole world are just playthings in his hands.

——He and someone are playing a huge game.And the others are just small and ridiculous pawns.

"How is your soul power recovering?"

"what?"

Looking up, what I saw was his expression that could not lie.

It's not that he doesn't know how terrifying his perception of soul power is, it's even better than the fourth-degree prince Treya's precision.Although he has never experienced it personally, he knows that this absolutely does not allow him to have the opportunity to experience it personally.

Especially now.

"Basically, it means he hasn't recovered." He pretended to be indifferent and shrugged his shoulders.The other party just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just looked at him.

"What's the matter?" Qi La was stared at by those bottomless abyssal blue eyes, and her back tensed up.

"Sit down." He raised his right hand and made a "please" gesture.However, he still maintains this aristocratic leisurely attitude.

"Where do you sit?"

Gilgamesh smiled and said nothing, just tilted his head slightly, looking at him.He suddenly turned around as if suddenly enlightened, and looked behind him. The delicate texture of the carpet under his feet was slightly distorted.

Invisible, seat formed by high-speed rotation of airflow.

"You won't crush me..." Qi La smiled wryly, and sat down cautiously.The invisible back of the chair seemed to support his back like a hand.

"The level of humor needs to be improved." Once Wang Jue smiled softly, and turned the armchair around: "Although he said such words, his expression is like a snake in three or nine days."

He looked out the window, naturally he didn't know how ugly the other party's face was.

"The moonlight is so beautiful." Gilgamesh suddenly retracted the smile on his face, and said quietly.His eyes were closed, revealing the extended arc from the corner of the eye.

——All the time, I’m too tired.

"There's a moon there." Qi La slightly rolled his eyes: "It's obviously raining."

"It is impossible to see everything with the eyes." He pointed to his heart: "You have to look with your heart—see it? Beyond the clouds, that crescent moon."

"Playing with mystery." He rolled his eyes, noncommittal.

He opened his eyes and looked quietly at the boiling rainy night outside the window.

"Hey, do you believe that there are people in the world who can foresee the future and see through everything?"

Qi La shook her head: "But it looks like you."

He chuckled, but the smile quickly faded to nothingness.

"It is interesting to live in this world because there are too many unknowns.

"If you know too many things, life will be boring."

"Whose famous quote is this?"

"Mine." He smiled lightly and briefly.

"What do you know?" Qi La looked at him, helplessly letting the shadowy fear roll into her heart.

"A lot." He looked into Qi La's eyes with special meaning, and said these two words in a slow and melodious voice: "But it seems too much."

Qila remained silent.

"Qi La, you know. My biggest wish now is to be an ordinary person again. Oh no."

"It's to be an ordinary person." He chuckled, the smile was stained with tiredness by the curvature of the corners of his eyes.

"You won't be able to take it." Qi La said seriously: "I'm used to the life of turning my hands into clouds and covering my hands with rain. Suddenly I lose my soul power, and I will be very at a loss. My soul power like the firefly light is still like this , not to mention you—”

"It's unbearable to have you with me, isn't it good?" He smiled faintly, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of pale golden halo, so warm that people couldn't help but want to get closer.

Qi La looked at him, feeling a little dazed for a moment.He suddenly felt that this was not like the god-like, all-powerful one-time prince in ordinary times.On the contrary, he is very helpless to everything around him, he has a hopeless belief in this world, he is very...

—Very helpless.

"Can't you stand with me?" He looked at Qi La, with touching sincerity shining in his eyes.Like the first dew after the snow melts, it is full, transparent, and full of touching sincerity.

"Why...why, tell me this?" Qi La's eyes trembled slightly, a little frightened.

"Because," he paused, his quiet and gentle voice was like the endless tranquil river water like silk in midsummer.

Qi La could even feel the calm and moving tremor coming from the other party's vocal cords.Because he came over, quietly stretched out his arms, hugged his shoulders, and gently placed his chin on his slightly thin shoulders.

"Because you are the only shining among the gravel in the world... In other words, you are a special existence in my world."

Chapter 15

{next day}

【five years ago】

【Aslan Empire in the West · Habar Desert】

The initial redness of the morning sun gradually reveals the smooth horizon of the desert, like a red goldfish throwing its tail fin off the ground.A rattlesnake stuck out its slender tongue and swam out of its burrow.

"puff."

One hand pinched it exactly seven inches.Sand grains were kicked up by its flicking tail, blurring his vision.

"What are you doing?" Yin Chen withdrew his body, showing a disgusted expression on his usually icy face: "Aren't you afraid of being bitten?"

"No way." Galanz grinned, pressing down on its seven inches with one hand, allowing it to wrap its slender body around his arm, shaking it towards the silver dust.

The snake opened its mouth angrily, looked at Yinchen, and stuck out its tongue from time to time.

Yin Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the snake, and a sense of dread continued to emerge from his back, climbing up his back.

"Oh! That's enough!" Yin Chen shook his head vigorously, just about to stretch out his hand to push it away, but suddenly withdrew his hand because of the snake's cry.

"Hey." Galanz smiled, stretched out his hand to untie the snake's body from his arm, then held it seven inches below, and pulled it down violently.

The snake opened its mouth wide in pain, exposing a pair of fangs fiercely, and its golden eyes protruded from their sockets as if they were about to explode.After a while, he was dying.

"Tch." Yin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's so cruel."

"It's not cruel to bite you." Galanz threw it on the ground casually and took the rein.

"how come."

"You stepped on its tail as soon as you took one step forward."

"Okay, my fault." Yin Chen rolled his eyes and shrugged.

"So you'd better go up, you'll just cause trouble."

"I have it!"

"Who almost stepped into the lizard hole just now."

"So what if you step on the lizard hole." He crossed his arms in disbelief and rolled his eyes.

"Generally speaking, there are scorpions in lizard holes... Silver dust?"

"Huh?" Yin Chen, who had been walking forward with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked back at Galanz.

"What did you step on again?"

He looked down, and there was fine yellow sand floating slightly under his feet.

"There's nothing." He looked at Galanz inexplicably, but he saw Galanz laughing and pulling up the camel and running forward...

"...Galanz..." Yin Chen raised his hand and rubbed the pulsating veins on his temples, but finally roared unbearably: "Come back to me!!!"

"Just—don't—have to—hahahahaha..."

Galanz's earth-shattering laughter came from the other side of the sand slope.

"..." Yin Chen squeezed his fist hard, and finally couldn't help running towards the place where Galanz disappeared.

"Glanz!!!"

"Hey!"

Almost rolling and crawling over a sand dune, I raised my eyes to look, but I couldn't find Galanz under the sand slope. There was only a camel lying quietly at the bottom of the sand slope, chewing Regurgitated forage.

"G... Galanz?"

Suddenly, a strange feeling spread up bit by bit, like dense vines wrapped around the atrium.

"Strange, where did you go..."

Yin Chen picked up the camel's reins and tugged it like Galanz did.

The camel blinked and moved its head slowly, but its body remained motionless.

"Hey!" He tugged on the rein again.

The camel remained motionless.

"Stand up..." Yin Chen shook the rein in his hand and sighed weakly.

"Sure enough." Yin Chen put down the reins helplessly, knelt down, and rubbed his temples in distress: "It's not as simple as it seems."

"Forget it, you stay here, don't run around..." He stood up, looked at the completely undifferentiated sand dunes around him, hesitated, and closed his eyes.After a while he opened his eyes and walked towards a sand dune ahead.

The camel blinked slowly, watching the silver dust disappear into the increasingly blurred vision due to the yellow sand.

Yin Chen struggled to walk in the sand.

As the sun gradually rose behind, the temperature in the desert also rose rapidly.After a while, Yinchen felt the heat obviously.He unbuttoned the outer skirt of his robe, and casually put it on his arm as he walked.

getting hotter.

He couldn't help but raised his hand, lifted the broken hair on his forehead, and wiped the sweat.

Looking up, you can vaguely see the black back of Galanz standing on the top of the sandy slope.Suddenly the wind picked up, and the golden sand was blown up, blurring his vision, and his back gradually disappeared.

Yin Chen stopped his climbing steps, staring at the blurry black shadow in the sandstorm.

Such a thin piece seems to be swept away by the flying sand all over the sky if one is not paying attention.

He shook his head vigorously, speeding up the dune.

"Hello." Yin Chen raised his hand and shouted loudly, "What are you looking at?"

Galanz did not respond, perhaps because the wind was too loud, and the sound was dispersed.

The sand slid down from the high hillside, and every step he took would submerge him half as deep as his calf.The quicksand was so vast that it seemed to drown him.

"Hey--!"

The wind and sand slowly subsided.

Galanz turned his head and smiled at him.Crouching down, she quietly reached out to him.

"It's so weird to laugh." Yin Chen muttered softly.

"What?" Galanz blinked with an innocent look on his face.

"I didn't hear you yelling so loudly just now." Yin Chen looked at him with contempt.

"Sorry, the wind and sand are a bit big." Galanz smiled softly, pulled him up, and let him stand beside him.

"Look." He stretched out his hand, pointing to the lowland between several sand dunes not far away.

"what is that?"

Yin Chen struggled a few times with the grasped hand, but finally gave up.

"What we are looking for, the temple."

"It's so shabby." Yin Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes, looking at the bare gray-yellow sand tower in the lowland.

"Don't look at the shabby, it's very mysterious. My sister said that the temple appears and disappears in the desert. I don't know when it will appear and when it will disappear." Galanz suddenly gave a soft "heh" , Stretched: "But, I can find it every time. Several times, I narrowly escaped the catastrophe because of it."

"It looks very small inside." Yin Chen narrowed his eyes, and added: "It looks more like a watchtower or something."

"Yeah." Galanz nodded, pulled him and walked down the sandy slope: "When I went in before, I didn't find anything special inside...not even a big rock, let alone a stone. There are some gems or something."

Between the distant heaven and the earth, there was a faint roar that penetrated the earth.

"What, what's wrong?"

Galanz shook his head, noncommittal.

"Sandstorm." He just turned his head slightly.

"It doesn't feel like it." Yin Chen shook his head, but he had no choice but to be pulled in front of the temple.

The outer wall of the temple is a whole piece of khaki-colored sandstone, and there is no way to see where it can be entered.

"Are we going to crash into the wall?" Yin Chen couldn't bear the silence for a long time, and asked.Galanz next to him laughed strangely when he heard the words.He put his hand lightly on Yin Chen's shoulder, and patted it: "I found out. You are getting more and more stupid." After speaking, he let go of Yin Chen, took a few steps to the door, and gently swept his fingers across the door. Face impenetrable walls.

It seemed that something had changed silently.

He shrugged his shoulders and swaggered into the sand wall.Suddenly, the sand wall fluctuated like water, swallowing Galanz's black back.

Yin Chen pursed his lips and followed him.but--

"Oh!"

——In the next moment, you can see Yinchen clutching his forehead, sitting on the sand with a painful expression on his face.He sat up in distress, raised his hand and touched the wall like Galanz.

Nothing has changed.

He raised his head in doubt, looked at the sand tower in front of him, moved his lips slightly, but finally read out involuntarily.

"Glanz..."

Galanz looked around.

Still exactly the same as before, the sand-gold flowing cloud patterns inlaid on the inner wall, still exactly the same as before, the faint light coming from nowhere.The symbols of those flowing clouds seem to vaguely make up a picture.Galanz didn't know what it was back then, but now he understands.

It's a dragon.

It is a dragon with a twisted body and coiled on the inner wall of the entire sand tower.The dragon's dorsal fin, the dragon's scales, and the dragon's body.Galanz looked along the dragon's body and saw the dragon's head hanging down from the dome.Dragon's horn, dragon's beard, dragon's head.What is different from ordinary dragons is that there are three pairs of slender chelicerae on the back of this dragon's head, which are entangled between the dense dragon beards and stretch out, like some kind of poisonous insects.

There is a ball of light between the dragon's pincers.Come to think of it, that light should come from there.

Is that the yellow gas gem in Akka?

Galanz frowned slowly.

Did he have this dragon head when he came here?He obviously remembered nothing, just a strange empty secret room.

Looking at the faucet, Galanz always felt a little strange.This strange feeling is very familiar, but I just can't figure out where it is strange.

Yin Chen looked around the temple back and forth, then stretched out his hand again, and pressed it against its small uneven wall.

Could it be a seal inspired by soul power?

He closed his eyes, forced a trace of soul power to his fingertips, and the moment he brushed against the outer wall of the temple, the wall suddenly sunken in as softly as water.

Yin Chen opened his eyes in surprise, and couldn't help feeling puzzled.The concentration of the golden soul mist in the Habar Desert is extremely low, so he and Galanz had almost completely shielded their soul power before entering.Probably the reason why I hit the wall just now is because of this reason.

But Galanz said that he could come in when he was a child... Could it be that he learned to use soul power when he was a child?

Yin Chen didn't bother to think so much at the moment, shook his head, threw out useless thoughts, then closed his eyes, and got into the temple.

Galanz raised his head, still staring at the huge dragon above his head.His eyes followed the neck of the dragon, and finally found the place where the dome meets the side wall. The dragon's body is not completely connected.

That……?

"Glanz!"

Galanz's thoughts were disturbed by this sudden voice, so he had no choice but to turn his head and watch rushing in from outside the temple.Just the moment he turned his head, he seemed to vaguely see the dragon on the dome swaying from the corner of his eye.

He frowned and turned around.Everything returned to the original state, making people involuntarily believe that it was just an illusion.

"What are you looking at?" Yin Chen came over and asked suspiciously.Then he raised his head and looked at the dome: "Is there nothing on it?"

Galanz thumped in his heart.

Yin Chen tilted his head, his eyebrows slightly folded.

"Can't you see?" Galanz stared at him with a pair of dark eyes, his expression very excited.

"Why, what's the matter?" Yin Chen took a step back subconsciously.

"Can't you see that dragon on the dome of the temple?!"

Yin Chen raised his head, but his eyes suddenly widened.

"Ah..." He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Look, I saw...that dragon...golden, with strange tentacles, holding a piece of light in the middle of the tentacles..."

Galanz opened his mouth, with an undisguised shock on his face.After a long time, he settled his mind, lowered his head again, and fell into thinking.

Presumably, Yin Chen took the clawed feet as tentacles.But why couldn't he see the dragon just now?

"Did you not see just now?" Galanz raised his head and asked again. "Did you not see it just now?"

Yin Chen nodded, took a step forward, and returned to the original position: "This way, I won't be able to see again." After saying that, he stepped back again: "Come here, and you can still see it."

"It's really strange." Galanz raised his head and looked at the dragon's head hanging down from the dome.

A strange atmosphere gradually filled the air.Vaguely, Galanz even felt that the dragon was laughing.

Moreover, it is ridicule.

"It feels weird." Yin Chen lowered his head, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and stopped looking at the weird dragon.He turned his face and said to Galanz: "Our task now should not be to think about why it cannot be seen in some places, but to find a way to find its location?"

Galanz lowered his head and squinted at Yin Chen, who was almost half a head shorter than himself.

"What's the matter?" Yin Chen couldn't help saying that he felt uncomfortable all over.

Galanz didn't seem to hear it, but still looked at him fixedly, as if he could see a flower from his face.But if you really want to distinguish, you can't feel what he is thinking.

For a long time, the two of them always had an unusual tacit understanding every time they performed tasks, but this time, Yin Chen couldn't catch his thoughts.

In other words, he couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

Speaking of which, the silver dust in the Habar Desert is not familiar, but Galanz knows this place better than his own home.It's normal for Yin Chen to be unable to keep up with his train of thought.But whenever they went to a place that neither of them had been to, their thoughts were always synchronized.

Maybe Galanz is not as stupid as Yinchen imagined and only knows how to use his fists in everything, but he is still very smart.

"That's right." Galanz suddenly seemed to understand something, smiled, looked away, and began to search the four walls of the temple: "It's useless to dream here."

Yin Chen looked at him inexplicably walking around the inner wall of the temple, as if he was looking for something.The inner wall of the temple is not a whole sand wall like the outer wall, but a huge khaki masonry pile of half a person's height. The golden dragon pattern on it seems to be carved, so the jewel above the head It looks particularly three-dimensional under the light, and it seems like it will come out of the wall in the blink of an eye.The entire wall is covered with slender bodies that criss-cross like some kind of passage, and there are no clouds between the bodies, but strange blank spaces.Yin Chen stepped forward and brushed his fingers lightly across the wall, feeling some faint bumps, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

There should be something there.Yin Chen bit his lower lip, trying to see clearly the lines buried in the shadow of the dragon's body.He looked up at the ball of light above his head, and suddenly had an idea.

In the next second, only a trembling string sound was heard in the air, and a slender sword hung in the air beside Yin Chen.The rapier had almost no grid, if it wasn't for the white silk wrapped around the hilt for grasping, it would have stood strangely beside Yin Chen like a thin piece of light.Yin Chen didn't hold it in his hand, but there was a hidden pattern on the neck, and the sword was suddenly divided into two, two into four, and neatly merged together, connecting the blades into a whole piece. , like a mirror.The sword mirror floated up, and the light above his head was immediately turned to Yin Chen's side.

This time he could vaguely see it clearly, it seemed to be the image of some insects, with long tails, thin feet, and a pair of pincers half the size of its body in front of the flat head.They cluster around the dragon's body, as if they are holding the dragon up with their pincers.Just when Yin Chen wanted to take a closer look at them, he felt something hit him on the shoulder, and he was terrified.

"What are you doing?" Galanz's voice came from behind.Yin Chen turned his head, couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Look, beside this dragon—"

Galanz leaned down and took a look, then said, "It's a scorpion, what's wrong?"

Yin Chen frowned and said, "Don't you find it strange?"

"It's nothing surprising." Galanz straightened up and shrugged: "We have a scorpion as big as a house here, and it's terrifying. It's understandable that such a terrifying thing is worshiped as a fetish."

Yin Chen wanted to say something, but he was pulled up by him, and interrupted forcefully: "Okay, okay, I think I know how to get up."

Galanz took Yin Chen and ran all the way to the corner of the wall behind Yin Chen, pointing to a brick in the lower right corner.

"Huh?" Yin Chen couldn't help asking, "Is this the dragon's tail?"

"Looks like it is."

"This..." Yin Chen bit his lower lip, as if he was considering whether to say: "This, it's clearly a scorpion tail..."

"That's right." Galanz folded his arms disapprovingly, tilting his head slightly: "This is enough to show how much the Habar people in ancient times worshiped scorpions."

"Okay." Yin Chen turned to look at Galanz and said, "How to get in?"

Galanz took a step forward, raised his leg and kicked the dragon's tail hard.

There was a brief silence.Just as Yin Chen was about to speak, he felt the ground tremble, and then, it seemed as if the entire temple was shaken by something.As earth and rocks continued to fall from above their heads, the two of them were gradually unable to stand firm while evading.

"Earth, earthquake?" Galanz grabbed Yinchen and tried to lean against the wall: "Are you kidding! I can't kick so hard?!"

"Okay! I knew that the method you came up with must be unreliable!" Yin Chen rolled his eyes and reached out to pull him: "What are you doing? Leaning against the wall, do you want to die?"

"Are we going to go in the middle again?" Galanz stared, and simply stretched out his hand to pull Yin Chen, who was shaking and trying to walk away, to his chest, making one hand try to grab his shoulder: "Look Look at that dragon above your head! Do you want to be smashed to death?"

There was another violent shaking.Yin Chen was loosened by his feet, and the whole person fell to Galanz behind him.

"Hey!" Looking at the situation, Yin Chen probably couldn't restore his balance by himself, Galanz had no choice but to hold Yin Chen in his arms with both hands, but was pushed backwards by the inertia.He thought it was over, if he didn't get a concussion, it was because the temple gave him great face.While thinking this way, he closed his eyes, ready to accept the impact from the back of his head.

However, the severe pain imagined did not come.When Galanz opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an inexplicable place.

It appears to be a tower.He moved his hands, and found that wherever his fingers could reach, there were extremely fine grains of sand, which were covered in a thick layer, as if it was the finest white flying sand that had been accumulated for decades.Galanz sat up, the scalp on the back of his head was slightly swollen.He stood up, swayed his feet slightly, and then looked around.

The shaking had stopped.And the gap that was opened just now in the inner wall of the temple has disappeared inexplicably.As far as the eyes can see, there are only stairs extending up and down, and the fine dust in the air gilded by the sun.

No silver dust was seen.

In the air, silence and sand float slowly together, as if swimming in a viscous liquid.

"Galanz?" A faint call came from the side, turned around only to find that it was Yin Chen who was walking step by step from the darkness below, standing still a step behind him, and said, "Are you awake? Are you okay?"

Galanz opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Yin Chen spoke first: "I'm sorry... I used you as a meat pad..."

Galanz smiled wryly twice, then frowned and smiled: "You're fine, where are you going?"

"Looked up and down." Yin Chen shook his head: "There is nothing."

"It's always right to go up anyway, isn't it?" Galanz scratched his hair and smiled: "It's always right to go in the right direction, let's go!" Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Yin Chen's wrist , pulling him up the stairs.

In the darkness, something seemed to be rustling.It's as if thousands of tiny needles are pricking the fine white sand on the ground...

Chapter 16

【five years ago】

【Aslan Empire in the West · Fog Hidden Green Island】

After waking up, he was not in a hurry to get up, but just lay on the spot, motionless, identifying the pattern of golden flower and vines on the ceiling.It was raining patteringly outside the window, and it was hard to tell what time it was due to the dull sky.In such weather, there seems to be no difference between morning and evening.

After quietly looking at the ceiling, Qi La almost fell asleep again.The long sound of rain outside the window seems to have a powerful hypnotic ability, making people drowsy.

Once Wang Jue left Wuyin Green Island early in the morning.He who is not proficient in the perception of soul power does not know where he went.

"Ah." Qi La turned over and reached out to hug the pillow.Just as he was about to fall asleep again, he heard a knock on the door.Steady, cautious.When I heard it, it was Donghe.

"Prince Qila?"

Qi La couldn't help but rolled his eyes, a tiny golden light bloomed for a while, and then he disappeared.

"I'm in."

Dong He pushed open the door, but saw that Wang Jue's bedroom was empty.Then he smiled, turned around and closed the door, and walked to Wang Jue's study.

The study room was not lit.In the darkness, someone could be vaguely seen leaning on Gilgamesh's armchair, slightly pursing the corners of his mouth.There is a complex expression that others can't understand on a face that looks like a country.He stared blankly at the drawer where all the sundries had been turned out with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sound of the pattering rain drowned out the sound of the door being opened.

"You are here." The visitor stood at the door, looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Did you find anything?"

"No." He lowered his hand and pushed the drawer hard, the wood collided with each other, making a harsh sound.He tightly pursed the corners of his mouth, with an unconcealable disgust on his face.

"What's the matter?" He raised his chin and said, "You're so angry, Lord Qila. Could it be that last night..."

"Shut up." Qi La's pupils tightened suddenly, and a whistling cold air burst out between the two of them, pushing towards the other's neck.

The cold air could only stop abruptly a few centimeters in front of the other party.But his unreally beautiful face was distorted by the severe pain in his back shoulder.

In the shadows, Donghe seemed to smile slightly, and then said: "Don't be impulsive, it's not good to hurt you and me."

Qi La's slender hands were tightly clenched into fists at this moment.But immediately, he relaxed his tense muscles, and the expression of disgust and anger on his face was submerged in indifference.

"Why?" He opened his mouth and asked in a faint voice: "You are obviously his apostle, he almost brought you up from a young age, and treated you well. Why did you want to—betray him?"

Donghyuk really smiled this time, a bitter smile.

"To get to the bottom of it, both the prince and the apostle must obey the priest's orders unconditionally. Right? Duke Qila—" he said, "The prince treats you equally well."

He lowered his head sadly, still pursing his lips.

"Are you helpless?" Donghe still smiled wryly, as if talking to himself: "But you have to know that there are people who are more helpless than you in this matter."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and seemed to be leaving.But he suddenly stopped, turned his face and said: "The second autumn rain on Wuyin Green Island has already fallen, you can enjoy the rest of the time. Oh, yes, for your convenience" Feelings, these days, priests don't give princes any quests."

I don't know how much time has been lost silently with the autumn rain.As the rain gradually stopped, the sky lit up a little bit.

Qi La sat quietly on the carpet next to the armchair, with his slender fingers intertwined in front of his face, covering his delicate face.

No one knows what he is thinking.Is it pain, is it sadness, or...?

At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door and the sound of footsteps.And he still maintained that posture, as if frozen by the autumn rain.Until a pair of arms suddenly embraced him, the warm breath gently slapped his skin as cool as white jade.

He moved suddenly, raised his head, and was facing the bottomless sea eyes of the person who came up, and suddenly he didn't know where to put his hands.

He said, "What's wrong? Sitting here in a daze?"

Qi La didn't speak, but pursed the corners of her mouth, habitually suppressing all her emotions.But the other party seemed to see what he was thinking at a glance, rubbed the silver thread on the top of his head, and said softly: "If you have something to say, just talk - are you curious, what am I hiding in here?"

Qi La looked up at him in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.But seeing the other party shaking his head, he stretched out his hand to open the messy drawer that he turned over, and reached in.I saw Jinmang lightly showing for a moment, and when he pulled out his hand again, a book exactly the same as the one Qi La saw that day appeared in his sight.

"I put a seal in the drawer." He shrugged and said, "Although it's really nothing."

Qi La looked at the book, her heart suddenly beat fast.And when he suppressed his trembling, opened the heavy cover, and let those beautiful fonts come into view, he found that it was written in cursive characters, which turned out to be——

He couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment, raised his head, and looked at Gilgamesh in disbelief.But the other party just smiled gently at him.

"Anyway, the two of us have made it clear to each other." He shrugged indifferently, and said with a smile, "There is no need to hide this thing anymore."

"This...what is it?" He frowned, casually pinched the cover and flipped through it, with an expression of distress or helplessness: "...a love letter?"

"That's it."
