Leopard of another world

Looking at the back who was walking ahead to open the way, Lance hesitated for a long time before speaking softly.

"Evan, have you... regained consciousness?"

The back of the person in front paused, and Lance could clearly see the tense muscles on his back. After waiting for a long time, just when Lance thought the other party would not answer, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

"I...forgot a lot of things." Evan said lightly, without looking back: "But I remember everything about you."

Lance held his breath involuntarily. He looked at the broad and solid back that was still moving forward without blinking, waiting for the next words, but Evan didn't say any more, he just walked without turning his head. Lance and Paul took the two to the safest direction, crossed the river, flew over the mountains, and bypassed one town after another. When the night fell, the patter of rain began, and the temperature became cooler bit by bit. Evan He led them into a cave, lit a fire silently, and sat down casually.

After Paul cried bitterly and experienced a day of trekking, he soon fell into a deep sleep. Lance hugged his knees and looked at Evan quietly. The orange fire reflected on the other's face, adding to that peaceful face. With a touch of vivid color, it seems to become more gentle and approachable.

"Evan." Lance finally plucked up the courage to speak in a low voice, with a tremor that he couldn't even detect: "Do you hate me?"

"hatred."

Evan looked at Lance calmly: "When I woke up, I found myself lying in a coffin, and the surrounding was very quiet, but the chaotic memory kept my ears buzzing. I recalled the past intermittently, and I found that , my past with you is a complete joke, I am like a fool making funny moves on stage without knowing it, but you are the director and the only audience behind the scenes, seeing through everything, but always Smile without saying a word, everything about me is false, but I naively thought that this false appearance was something I would do my best to protect. I didn't know all this until the moment you pushed me into the magic pool. It's my wishful thinking." Evan raised his head and looked at Lance with a desolate smile on the corner of his mouth: "You say, how can I not hate you."

Lance looked at Evan, saw the unprecedented pain on the face of this resolute knight, listened to his simple but heart-wrenching self-analysis, and wanted to shake his head and shout, it’s not like this, everything is not like this, but, Everything Evan said was so true. Lance approached him, confused him, and finally destroyed him. All of this was done by himself, and he could not deny it or deceive him.

"Lance, do you know." Evan looked at him with soft eyes, just like he did a long time ago: "I once wanted to protect you for the rest of my life, you are so innocent, so timid, and your tragic but extraordinary life experience makes me always I can't help but lament the impermanence and cruelty of fate. I protect you and deal with the church. I know that group of old men are greedy and selfish. I thought you would be well protected by me. In the end, I realized that you don't need protection at all. It's all just my self-indulgence."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Lance lowered his head and repeated these words in a murmur. Now, he doesn't know what to say, he can only apologize.

"Lance, you have to know that the people who can be deceived by you will always be the ones who believe in you. In the future, don't make those people sad again."

Lance's lips trembled slightly, and his face was pale. Evan's words made him suddenly realize that he and Samuel were not like this. With such heartache and despair after discovering the truth, he unknowingly did the same thing as Samuel. This realization made him painful. He covered his face with trembling hands, but he still couldn't suppress the sharp pain in his heart.

"Evan." Lance whimpered, "I don't know what else to say except I'm sorry, so what are you going to do? Kill me to appease your anger, or return to the church to confront the darkness head-on I'm very sorry for what I did to you, but I don't regret it, I want to live, I have to live no matter what, once I die, my resentment and grief will never be appeased, sorry, I I can't die, at least I can't die now, I want to figure out everything, it's very selfish, ha, I don't want to be like this, but now, I don't know who else I can trust."

Lance felt that his wrists were held by a pair of warm and dry hands, and he firmly opened his hands covering his face. Through his wet eyes, Lance vaguely saw Evan shaking his head slightly at him, showing pity and sadness. color.

"I won't hurt you, Lance, once my oath is made, it will never change, but it doesn't mean that I will forgive you. You were a demon king once, and you have done things that violated my beliefs. Now, Germany The soldiers of Knys are slaughtering innocent humans and occupying their land; the church is gradually being occupied by evil, human beings are transformed into life forms against God, and are manipulated to go to the battlefield. I don’t know what went wrong, from God After the festival, everything was in chaos. The darkness is eroding justice and light. This is not only the darkness from Deknis, but also the corruption that emanates from the bones of the church. Flying out and eroding people's hearts, all this needs to be stopped urgently, this world needs to be changed."

Evan stood up and looked down at Lance. At that moment, he was like a real hero. His stalwart body seemed to exude a golden halo, even the dark breath from Deknis in his bones could not cover him. Light in the soul.

"As I said, what I, Evan, is loyal to is justice and the true light, not the church, let alone the so-called messenger of God today. I can restore some of my previous memories because I was in that place full of God's breath." Somewhere deep in my soul is awakened by the light, but this awakening is not complete, my other half of the pure white soul was forcibly summoned by the church, has been transformed into an angel, and his soul is completely light , pure without a trace of impurity, without him, I am not complete, so my current sobriety comes at a price, after the pure darkness of my essence is mixed with light, my soul is gradually weakening, I don’t know if I can survive How long, but I want to do something to save this crumbling world, so, Lance, let's work together."

Lance looked at Evan's eyes, those eyes were as bright as the morning stars, like the North Star in the night sky, so bright that people couldn't look directly at them, they were full of the highest belief that a person pursued most in his life, Lance looked at him, involuntarily Slowly nodded: "Okay..."

That night, Lance and Evan stayed up all night and talked a lot. Lance recounted all his past and present. He finally had a listener who allowed him to talk about everything in the past without any scruples. He didn't know the way ahead, but Evan's words miraculously infused him with the courage to continue on. He wanted to know all the truth and get everything back on the right track.

For many days after that, he, Evan, and Paul continued to move forward and traveled to many places. In the past ten years, unimaginable things happened in the world of Eden. , After several tragic wars, the church had to divide the entire Eden world into two, and built a high city wall in the center, covered with defensive magic, and separated from the demons.

Lance and the others passed by many deserted towns. The traces of the town's war were still there, but there was no one there. He found a pair of mother and baby in a small house. A mummified corpse was lying on the bed, and the mother held the handle of the knife in her hand and stabbed herself in the heart. When facing the fall of the city, the mother strangled her child to death with her own hands, and then committed suicide.

Along the way, in addition to the towns looted by the war, there are also some empty cities that do not have the presence of demons at all, but they are no longer inhabited. They met a few humans wandering in the middle of the Eden world, and learned a shocking truth. According to the news, two years ago, during the stalemate in the battle with the demons, the church began to forcibly take away the residents on the grounds that there were monsters lurking in the town and were polluted, and most of these disappeared residents became the raw materials for making angels. Batch after batch of angel legions fighting at the forefront have been achieved.

Those monsters that polluted the town, according to the few humans who were unwilling to flee with the evacuation, were no different from the monsters produced after failing to make angels.

In order to destroy Deknis, the church has already begun to do whatever it takes. Desmond does not consider the human beings in this world at all, and chooses the most cruel and efficient way to fight against the army led by Samuel.

In a short period of time, Lance, Evan, and Paul gathered a group of refugees wandering in the central no man's land, tangled into a small team, living in the gap between the two major forces, but this force must achieve Their expectations are far from enough.

Most human beings still live under the beautiful lies woven by the church. The soldiers of Deknis are absolutely loyal to the devil, and there is no possibility of betrayal. Lance and Evan are in trouble for a while. The solution, and the side of the Church of Light, since the news of Lance's escape, began to search for him again. The dark side in Deknis soon got the news, and for a while, the two sides looked for Lance The powerful forces swept through the world of Eden. In the past few days, Lance and the others have narrowly escaped several looking forces.

Lance was frowning, and while Evan comforted him, he arranged for the team to temporarily avoid the limelight in a hidden base and make a plan for the next step.

And during this period of dormancy, something happened, which made Lance feel a turning point.

In the bushes, the team found two scarred people. When the team brought the two unconscious people to Lance, Lance was surprised to find that they were the dark elf Arnold and the puppet Cloud. .

Lance had a hunch that the short-lived peace was about to be broken.
