Silver Dragon [Western Fantasy]

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

The city lord, Atli, stood up and ran towards where Liana was. Lily screamed silently, and followed closely behind, flapping her wings and flying over, her knees softened, and she knelt beside Liana.Wei An stopped, and the smooth music suddenly broke. The crowd came back to their senses, and looked at Samir and the others blankly.

There are also fireworks that suddenly bloom in the sky.

I don't know why they were not released on time before, but at this time the fireworks that were suddenly released neatly bloomed gorgeously in the air, and behind the colorful lights and shadows, ugly white smoke was left behind.

Lan Luo controlled the killers, and the guards took this opportunity to stabilize the situation. Samir looked at the city wall, and a black shadow was gathering. He looked down at Liana, who was lying in a pool of blood, and laughed wildly: "Ah Terry, this is the retribution you deserve! If you want to change Yuren's fate, you will only lose everything!!"

Samir turned around and looked at the black figure. Since the other party said so, it should not only mean His Majesty the King, this is obviously a personal grievance!

"Catch him!" City Lord Atley ordered sharply.

Heiying snorted coldly: "You think you can catch me?"

He turned around and was about to leave, the figure began to gradually fade away, and at that moment, Atley stretched out his hand to him.

Heiying snorted and found himself unable to move. At first he thought it was just an ordinary confinement technique, but gradually, he discovered something was wrong.

Can't move...why...the surroundings look weird...

In the eyes of others, the black shadow was just ordinary and unable to move. Then, another gray figure descended from the sky, carrying a ray of cold light, like a star falling, and drew a light and graceful arc in the air. Cut off the head of the shadow.

It looked elegant, but it was extremely fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, the black shadow was decapitated.

Samir looked at a gray feather falling from the sky, and reached out to grab it.

Lily opened her eyes wide.

A gray figure with a body taller than ordinary Yuren, holding a dagger in his hand, the extremely thin blade is enough to become an irresistible killing weapon at an extraordinary speed.

Simply, it was like the god of death had come.

The feathered man who came from the sky beheaded Soi Ying, and slowly walked to the city lord Atli, holding his head.

"The act of killing people in the city was a decision made by a group of slave traders before, and they were supported by slave traders from the Northern Alliance."

Yuren said slowly, revealing the face of the head clearly: "This is the leader who has been conducting the Yuren slave trade before. His ability comes from the allies of the Northern Alliance."

"Thank you, Carmen." Atali, the city lord, glanced at the head and said wearily, "I will pay you the reward."

Samir on the city wall, with fisted palms, was enlightened.

It turned out that the male Yuren, his friend, was named Carmen!

It is indeed called this name, why can't I remember it before.Unexpectedly, he would actually know the city lord Atli, and it was still an employment relationship.

However, looking at him like this, I'm afraid he didn't notice himself.

Or have you forgotten?After all, the two sides have not been together for a long time, and the other party is also a very ideal Yuren, so naturally there is no need to remember such an insignificant ex...

"Samir." Kamen the Featherman suddenly turned his head and looked at him precisely: "Long time no see."

Samir: "...Haha, long time no see, Carmen."

Seeing that the people were under control at this time, Wei An put down the piano, flicked his fingers, and asked curiously, "Another victim?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that with my help, I regained my life and found the ultimate goal of being a Yuren. I pursued it all my life, although I didn't do anything." Samir nudged Wei'an with his elbow, and said in a low voice .

Among the previous exes that Samir has dated with, Carmen can be said to be the most worry-free. After all, he only provided a dagger.

He jumped off the wall, walked up to Carmen, and looked down at Liana, who was dying.

She was already poisoned, only took the medicine once, and hadn't fully recovered, and danced for a whole day to suppress the previous chaos.That black shadow was aiming to kill her, and the sword was unbiased, piercing Lianna right through.

Liana was bleeding all the time, her face was beyond pale, she was almost haggard, her long gray hair quickly faded, she lay in Lily's arms, and stretched out her hand to the city lord Atley with difficulty.

"My lord..." Her voice was like a bellows out of order, hoarse and cracked, making people tremble.

"Sister!" Lily cried bitterly, the tears continued to flow out, falling on Lianna's body, mixed with the blood, as if turning into tears of blood.

Her hands were sticky, full of her sister's bloody smell, Lily couldn't understand why so much blood flowed from her sister's body, it reminded her of the days when they were still being hunted down a long time ago , that familiar smell of blood and despair instantly enveloped her.

Liana stared persistently at the city lord, Atley, and silently mouthed——the city lord, Atley, Lily—

"I know, I know, don't talk." Atley knelt down and held the hand that was reaching out to her persistently: "Lianna, I know, I remember."

Liana looked at her, a faint smile in her dark gray eyes.

She lightly hooked the fingers of the city lord.

You have to remember.

Lord Santo.

five years ago.

The city lord, Atley, was dealing with official duties. Lily poured a glass of water for her, and then stood silently with her head down.

Atley glanced at Lily, thinking that Lily's personality is completely different from her sister's, but in fact Lily's heart is also very sensitive, but she is taciturn, not good at expressing herself in words, and a little emotional, so she is a little withdrawn .

Although most of the castellan's mansion prefer Lianna to Lily, Atley treats them equally.She knew that Lily yearned for a free life more than Liana, and if it wasn't for Liana's decision, Lily might have chosen to leave the City Lord's Mansion.

No matter which one is in line with Yuren's nature, yearning for freedom or finding a stable place, Atley only hopes that the two of them can live a healthy and safe life, and it would be better if they can be happier.

At this moment, Liana came in and ordered Lily to deal with something.

Lily has always been obedient, even though she didn't want her sister and the city lord to be alone, she obediently left.

Lianna took over Lily's work and assisted the city lord in his work.She is very capable and has a wide range of knowledge. As long as the documents she has read can remember where they are placed and what their contents are.Sometimes Atley admires her extremely organized thinking, if Lianna is not a feather, she will definitely do something more.

Thinking of this, Atley said to Liana: "This year's Shenghai Banquet, you will host it."

Liana folded the files neatly and asked, "Is that okay? I was just acting as a dancer before."

"Yes, the things you did before were also done well."

Liana nodded and agreed. Her personality is like this. No matter what happens, she can quickly accept it and make a judgment.

Probably because of the reason why she has been taking her sister to wander, facing the pursuit of hunters, in order to let her sister who is living in panic and worry feel at ease, she must always act as a reliable and calm older sister.

Whatever the situation, she can handle it.

Because there is a sister behind.

She also has to be clean, pretty, and comfortable.

Because this will not worry my sister.

Atley gave her the task, and naturally gave her the corresponding power.Liana accepted all of them, and that Shenghai Banquet was an unprecedented success, the reputation of Gray Feather City reached a new height, and Atley even held a celebration banquet.

At the celebration banquet, Atley found that the servants already respected Liana very much. She showed her ability and responsibility, convincingly, and no one doubted the power in her hands.

In contrast, the gap between Lily and her was even greater.

At the celebration banquet, Atley looked at Lianna, the focus of everyone's target, and Lianna would not refuse everyone's persuasion, but she could take care of everyone who felt unwell, sending towels and hot water, She is gentle, reliable, and a perfect-looking Yuren.

After drinking, Atley went to the courtyard alone to have a breeze. She heard footsteps, and Liana walked over gently and said, "Is the city lord drunk?"

Atley turned his head and said, "No, if you..."

She shut her mouth suddenly, because Liana was looking at her with full eyes at this moment, with a hint of drunkenness in the corners of her eyes.

"Lianna..."

"My lord, I might be a little drunk." Liana didn't step forward, and her actions didn't show any disrespect, but her eyes and demeanor showed a different kind of affection.

Atley turned his head and said with difficulty: "Since you are drunk, go back and have a rest. You have worked hard this time."

"The Lord City Lord rescued Lily and me from the hunters, and taught us to read and write. I don't find it hard to be able to do things for the Lord City Lord."

Atley pursed his lips.

"My lord, why are you treating us so well..." Liana's gray pupils shone with misty water as if they had been soaked in the moonlight: "In this case, it is inevitable that some unrealistic ideas will arise. "

Atley: "For me, that's just a matter of convenience. Moreover, I have received rewards until now, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Liana stared at her for a long time, that kind of gaze was too deep, without any drunkenness in it, and even revealed extreme calmness and a measured coldness.

She said in her mouth: "But, just like what was written in the letter, I have fallen in love with..."

"Lianna, do you really love me?" Atley asked.

Her sentence didn't mean to blame or question, it was just a very ordinary question, just like the tone that told Liana to go back to rest just now.

Liana blinked.

"You are different from Lily. You look warm and gentle, but you actually don't trust anyone, even me. Lily is more naive. She believes that everyone in the City Lord's Mansion is a good person. She trusts me as she trusts you. You're not happy about that."

Atley's cold voice echoed in the courtyard: "And you have been doubting my purpose. Although your reason thinks that I should be fine, your instinct makes you full of vigilance. Lianna, you think I am dangerous and feel The City Lord's Mansion is a safe place, so, do you want to use this to test me?"

"All I can say is, Leanna, there is a reason why I did these things to you, but the reason is not what you think."

"I just hope that you can live a good life, whether it's in the City Lord's Mansion or in other places."

Liana still had a smile on her face, but her eyes slowly cooled down.

"Why? My lord, if you don't speak clearly, I will never understand." Liana bowed to her: "I'm sorry, but I can't trust you."

"It is precisely because you have a completely cautious character that you can live with Lily." Atley's voice sounded in Lianna's ear, and she hugged Lianna: "You are not wrong, just keep going like this, you It will be hard."

Liana was on guard, her hairs standing on end, her muscles stiff.Atley quickly let her go, then sat in the kiosk, with his back to her, and said, "As for the reason, I can tell you—come here."

Liana walked over, and Utley grabbed her hand, slipped it through the neckline, and pressed it to his shoulder blade.

There was a sharp, hard scar there.

It is the scar that will be left after the feathered man turns into a feather.

Liana's heart skipped a beat, her fingers were still pressing on the scar, her head was buzzing, she almost forgot where she was.

The city lord is actually a Yuren!

How can it be!

Liana's whole body was weak, and she managed to support herself so that she didn't fall down. She asked hoarsely, "Why?"

"There is no reason, I am Yuren, but I am a little different from you." Atley helped her to sit down, and said slowly: "You know the way Yuren reproduces now, it is the mother's own birth, giving birth to Offspring that are almost exactly the same as themselves. But a long time ago, the Yuren did not breed like this, we, like most other races, were divided into females and males...It was only later that we became what we are now."

"I am the last one, a feathered man born from the combination of a female body and a male body."

Liana stared at her incredulously.

"Afterwards, no male feathered humans were born, except for some mutants, but they did not have the ability to reproduce." Atrivin said: "So, to me, you and Lily are just my descendants. "I have lived longer than you imagined. You are both my kind and my descendants. Because of this, I saved you, and my only wish is that you can live a safe and healthy life."

"This is what most elders expect from younger generations."

Liana touched her finger, which still had the tactile sensation of a scar. She received a lot of information at the moment, so she had to slow herself down.Atley didn't urge her. After a while, Liana calmed down and asked, "How did you become the city lord of Gray Feather City?"

Atley has decided to dispel her doubts today, so she must answer every question: "Have you never thought about it, the reason why the city of gray feathers is called the city of gray feathers is because it was founded by the feathered people."

Liana opened her eyes slightly.

Atley continued: "But that was a long time ago. Later, when the feathers declined, the city of gray feathers was taken away and joined the current kingdom... Then, I snatched it back."

Liana: "But didn't you become the lord of the city six or seventy years ago? Before that, where were you?"

It has been hundreds of years since the Yuren's reproductive methods changed.

Atley rubbed the corner of his eyebrows: "Although I was born hundreds of years ago, the period in between was blank for me."

Liana stared at her suspiciously.

Atley smiled bitterly: "Because I have a special ability."

"what?"

"Does this also have to be confessed?"

Liana didn't speak, just stared at her, and Atley saw different emotions in her eyes than before.

If it's trust, it's definitely not, but this is indeed Lianna's rare true emotion.

"Time," Atley said, "I hold a portion of the power of time."

When she said this, there was no joy on her face.

Liana watched her inquiringly.

"God did not abandon the feathered people. The feathered people have a unique power, which is to control time." Ateli said lightly: "But this kind of power can only be possessed by a few feathered people, and it is not easy to control. The kind of situation that jumps to decades later in an instant will also happen that kind of situation where you freeze yourself in the gap of time and survive alone for thousands of years."

"In this world, the most objective thing is time. If time is no longer objective for us, then the truth of many things will be distorted."

Liana didn't understand why she said that.

But Atley, who has the power of time, must have experienced many things she couldn't imagine.

Liana lowered her eyes: "You are so honest, but it made me really fall in love with you."

Atley smiled wryly: "You don't have to test me anymore, I said, whether it's for you or Lily, I'm just taking care of the younger generation out of the same race..."

Liana interrupted him and said softly: "My lord, since you are so honest, let me tell you a secret."

Atley: "?"

Liana turned around and, as before, took Atley's hand and placed it on the shoulder blade.

Atley touched a hard thing, not a scar, but a deeper, harder...

"Did you get injured when you turned into a feather?"

Liana turned her head, the moonlight fell in her eyes, and she even felt desperate.

"Yes, so I won't live long." Lianna said: "I was injured early and I was injured, and I didn't deal with it at the time... But generally, the feathered people who are injured during the period of feathering, no matter whether they are dealt with or not, they will not live long. .”

"This is my secret, Lord City Master, please help me hide this matter."

She stared at Atley, and what she expressed in her plain expression was: Lord City Lord, don't let me down.

"Because I can't let Lily know?" Atley's voice trembled slightly, and she was about to pull out her hand, but Liana pressed it on the wound.

That wound never healed, so Liana frowned.

Lianna said: "I had this idea, drive her away before I die, so that she will never know about my death."

Atley: "What now?"

"I think it's not bad for her to accept my death. When I die, she will be free."

"Lianna!"

Atlee had no idea that she would say such a thing.

Did she think that Lily could accept witnessing her death? "But you have to accept it. I probably won't live for five years." Liana smiled and said, "My lord, I'm very sorry. The reason why I showed my affection to you is because I found out that Lily seems to like you a little bit."

"But I think you are dangerous. If it's someone my sister likes, she won't have that idea anymore. That's why I did those things."

"But why did you ask Lily to write these letters?"

It turns out that the Santo has always known, Liana thought to herself, she really underestimated the Santo.

How should I put it, it's too self-righteous.

"...If she resents me because of this, wouldn't she accept my death more easily?" Liana turned around, knelt on the ground, and said, "I am most sorry for the city owner, I am very sorry .”

Atley quickly helped her up, but Liana didn't move, she fell on the ground and said, "But whether you forgive me or not, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Actually, I have nothing to lose..." Apart from Liana's physical condition, Atley actually knew most of the things: "What do you want me to do?"

"Please promise to be with me." Lianna said: "In this way, Lily will not confess to you, and she will not be rejected by you. Although there are only five years, I am willing to do anything for you, waiting for me After you die, please take care of Lily."

Atley sighed: "Lianna, you are indeed too self-righteous. Do you think this is better for Lily?"

Liana smiled: "No way, I am such a big sister."

"I promise you." Atley gently stroked her long hair and said, "But, don't keep thinking about what will happen after you die... Liana, I won't let you die."

Atley lowered his head, the same gray eyes, but Atley's pupils were darker, almost jewel-like black.

Liana was caught off guard and crashed into her eye.

Her heart beat violently.

Liana turned her head and hid the expression on her face through the darkness, hearing her own violent heartbeat.

"My lord, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful." Liana said softly, "I hope you will always remember the moonlight today."

Not only did the moonlight remain in Atley's mind that day, but it was also a rare bright spot in Liana's memory.

Liana looked up at the sky, there was no moon in the night sky, only gorgeous fireworks.

It's not bad to die like this.

In this way, Lily will not know the injury she suffered when she turned into a feather.

Before he died, he did a lot of things.

Probably no regrets.
