Silver Dragon [Western Fantasy]

Due to excessive blood loss, Liana felt her body getting colder and colder, and the thick smell of blood wrapped her, and even her brain was groggy.

"Sister..." Lily still hugged her tightly, trying to convey some warmth, the priest brought by the city lord also rushed over, released a few healing spells for Liana, then sighed and shook her head.

Priests can cure poisoning, minor injuries, disperse, remove negative states, and provide combat support. Even the most powerful priests can't bring people back from the dead—using corpses is the category of necromancers.

Although Lianna is not dead yet, it has reached the point of no return. Moreover, her body is too weak, it is almost just an empty shell holding on. It is hard to imagine that she can survive until now.

The pastor asked, "Did she get hurt when she transformed into a feather?"

Liana couldn't hear him clearly, but Atli, the castellan, raised his head and signaled him to shut up.

Lily's heart sank, she felt as if she was being torn apart, one part felt hopeless and painful, while the other part had a strange calmness, as if she was accepting the fate that had already been arranged.

She remembered what happened to her sister Huayu.

At that time, she was also injured, and it was too painful, so she didn't pay attention to her sister's situation.Liana has been comforting her, wiping her tears, calming her emotions...but at the same time, Liana is also hurt.

I got that kind of injury when I was most vulnerable, so the wound can never heal again.

Lily felt that her soul and body had been falling, not only because of guilt and regret, but also because of a heavier emotion pressing on her.

If Liana died, she would live with this guilt for the rest of her life.

Lily murmured: "Sister...I'm sorry...I've always dragged you down..."

Without this younger sister, Liana probably wouldn't have turned into a feather in advance, and she wouldn't have been injured. With her quickness, she didn't need to pay such a big price to stay alive.

This is only part of the price that Lily just knew, and maybe Liana made more sacrifices where she didn't know.

Lily lowered her head and leaned on Lianna's shoulder, an unprecedented sense of frustration and anger swept over her.

Why, sister, you do these things...

She deeply felt how much her sister loved her, but this love turned into a suffocating pressure.

In this case, doesn't it actually look like I'm a complete burden...

You don't need to do this.

I just want you to be good and laugh from the bottom of your heart, that's fine.

"You are not...my burden..." Liana reached out to wipe away Lily's tears as usual, and she showed a gentle smile, just like in the cave that day, soothing her sister's emotions.

"It was you who saved me." Liana held her breath, her eyes sparkled with a relaxed smile: "Countless times, when I stepped into a desperate situation and wanted to give up, it was because there were still You are here, so I persisted."

Lily shook her head desperately.

"From now on, you can go wherever you want, live for yourself... Thank you, Lily, for always tolerant of me... and the city lord, thank you..."

Her voice became lower and lower, her hand fell down feebly, and was caught by the city lord Atli.

"I won't let you die."

Atley put one hand in the air on Liana's forehead, and after a while, she put her hand down, with a look of tiredness in her eyes.

Lily looked at Lianna in surprise, only felt that her current situation was a bit strange, but couldn't tell.

It is very similar to the black shadow just now.

"I suspended her time." Atley whispered, just for a moment, and her eyes became more old: "She will stay in this moment until we find a way to save her."

The pastor said from the side: "The most important thing is the injury during the eclosion period."

Lily said in a daze: "But, how to solve it..."

Atley said sadly: "If I knew, I wouldn't let her delay until now."

The injuries suffered when becoming a feather are almost equal to the terminal illness of a feathered person.

Lily asked blankly: "Then what should we do?"

Things seemed to finally ease up, but there wasn't any way to break through either.

The first thing Samir thought of was the Fountain of Life. He looked at Lan Luo, who shook his head.

Samir was not in the habit of being generous, so he didn't speak.

At this moment, Carmen, who had been silent for a long time, said: "There is no solution to the city of Gray Feather, but there must be a solution in the entire continent of Redras."

Lily raised her head, what he meant was to leave Gray Feather City and find a way to rescue Liana.

Carmen looked at Lily: "Do you want to come with me?"

Lily was taken aback: "What?"

Carmen said lightly: "Shouldn't you find a way to save your sister by yourself?"

Lily looked at her sister in her arms, Lianna's state remained forever at that moment just now, her face was pale and haggard, revealing a kind of weakness like rotten wood.However, because time solidified on her body, she seemed to have turned into a cold statue again.

"But, sister..."

Atley said: "Lianna must stay in the City Lord's Mansion. Only in this range can I keep the time suspension on her."

Lily felt as if she had walked into a dark room, with no direction to be seen in all directions, like falling into a sea of ​​smoke.

She even gave Samir a begging look.

Samir thought for a moment, and said to her seriously: "Lily, it's up to you to make the decision this time."

Lily was startled suddenly, Samir's words were deafening, and she suddenly understood.

All this time, it was Liana who made the choices.

This time it was her turn, and she finally felt the pressure, but another force surged from her heart, making her hands and feet hot, and her heart pounding.

She handed Liana into the arms of the castellan Atli.

Atley took it solemnly. Lily wanted to ask the city lord to take good care of her sister, but felt that with their relationship, she didn't need to say more.

"I'll go with you." Lily said, she looked at the male Yuren, and Carmen only nodded coldly, as if he hadn't proposed it before.

After so many years, it is still very cold.

Samir thought to himself, but he also wondered, Carmen is the kind of lone ranger through and through, who would only feel in the way when acting with others, so why would he take the initiative to invite Lily.

This question didn't make him think for too long, and then Atley brought Liana back to the Santo's Mansion, and the killers were all arrested, the guards maintained order, and Samir and the others returned to the Santo's Mansion.

In the next two days, the Shenghai Banquet was held as usual. After all, Lily was the manager who presided over the banquet, so she couldn't leave before the banquet ended.Samir and Lan Luo also stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for the time being. After solving their troubles, they could finally enjoy the Shenghai Banquet. Festival compared.

Compared with Samir's laid-back attitude, Atli, the city lord, was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground, wishing he could conjure up a dozen parts/body to work.

"Today is the last day of the Shenghai Banquet." Atley put down the pen in her hand. After two days of interrogation, she basically knew the ins and outs of the whole incident. This attack not only involved slave traders, but also His Majesty the King. strength and strength from the Northern Alliance.Atley has already grasped the evidence, and next, it is time to settle the settlement with those slave traders and His Majesty the King.

She rubbed her wrists and looked at the empty water glasses on the table. Liana's body was stored in the deepest part of the castellan's mansion, and Lily was also busy finishing the Shenghai Banquet.Atley is not used to having other personal attendants, so he has been busy all day, and he hasn't even drank his saliva until now.

As for the male Yuren standing by the window, it is naturally impossible to do such a thing.

"You have worked hard this time." Atley said: "Without you, it would be difficult to find the people behind them."

Carmen said lightly: "Anyway, you have already paid."

A trace of bitterness flashed in Atley's eyes: "Can we really find a way to solve Liana?"

Carmen: "What will you do if you can't find it?"

Atli thought for a moment: "I will reverse the time on her."

Carmen: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

Atley smiled bitterly.

"Those who play with time will eventually be played by time. Even if they have the power of time, the feathered people will fall to where they are now." Carmen shook his head. He thought it was useless to put hope on this method, no matter Whether to reverse time, stop time, or cross time, you must still do something on your own to change the status quo.

"However, before you have a problem, I will take care of that little Yuren."

Atley: "Her name is Lily."

Carmen gave an emotionless oh, the name is not important.

"Why do you want me to take Lily away?" Carmen asked: "This is much more troublesome than other tasks, and you need to pay more."

"Lily wanted to leave, she only needs a reason." Atley said: "The most important thing is that she will not become your burden."

Carmen waved her hand immediately: "I don't have that kind of sympathy."

A feathered man like him can't understand the relationship between Lianna and Lily at all.

To him, Lily is completely a burden, but there is no idea of ​​"as a support".

The main reason is that Atley gave too much, otherwise he would never agree.

Atley said seriously: "Carmen, Lily has never been a burden."

"She has the gift of controlling time, and has even used it a few times unconsciously."

Otherwise, how could those two Xiaoyu people have survived countless times from hunters, adventurers, and slave traders.

Lily had unintentionally accelerated her own time or paused the enemy's time many times, but it was too short, even Lily herself didn't notice it.

Carmen: "You haven't told her yet?"

"This requires her to comprehend that the power of time obtained by each Yuren is different."

Carmen looked down at his hands, he was just an ordinary feathered man, without any special abilities.

The only thing he owns is the dagger.

Thinking of this, Carmen leaned on the window, ready to jump off.

Atley asked, "Where are you going?"

"Find Samir."

Carmen's voice drifted in the night wind. Atley first thought why Carmen knew Samir, and then thought, why didn't he go through the door?

Atley looked at the night sky outside. On the last day, there were very few people on the street, showing a sense of desolation after the excitement.

Atley rubbed her wrists and poured herself a glass of water to drink. She had been dizzy with busy work for the past few days, and finally came to an end, so she wanted to go for a walk in the courtyard.

The moonlight is very good today, and the flowers in the courtyard are swaying with the night wind, exuding a faint fragrance.

Atley walked alone in the courtyard, and the moonlight stretched her shadow long.

If it was before, no matter Lianna or Lily was behind them, even though they couldn't speak, two shadows walking side by side would make people feel more at ease.

The night wind blew her long hair, and Atley rubbed the center of his brows, thinking what's wrong with him?

Is it because I am getting older that my heart is extra fragile, and I even start to be afraid of being alone? !

Atley wailed at the thought of her own, she looked up, and saw the elf in the pavilion.

Lang Luo accidentally tied up his hair today, holding something in his hand, and was very focused.

What is he doing here if he is not with Samir at this time?

Atley was very curious. When he walked over, he found that Lang Luo was holding a carving knife and a piece of wood in his hand. He was concentrating on cutting the wood, and his technique seemed a little unfamiliar.

"Are you...?" Atley asked exaggeratedly: "Has the elves finally mixed up to this point, and even the ancestors of the elves are going to come out to develop side jobs?"

Lan Luo raised his head, looked at the rough model in his hand by the moonlight, and said, "Samir wants it."

"Why not just buy him one?" Atley asked.

Lang Luo put down the wooden model and pondered for a while: "I probably want to make it myself."

Atley sat opposite him, leaning his arms on the railing, propped his chin up and looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "It's really rare, Mr. First Ancestor..."

Lang Luo heard that she had something on her mind, so she didn't respond, and continued to sculpt the model with her head down.

"Thousands of years have not changed you, but you and Samir have only been together for nearly a hundred years, and your temperament has undergone such a drastic change." Atley: "Time is really magical, thousands of years are like a moment, and a moment is like a moment." Thousands of years."

She looked at the moon outside the pavilion, the shadows of the trees whirling, and the wind rustling, making the night quiet and deep.

The first thing Atley thought of was the conversation with Liana under the moonlight five years ago. Before that, it was the moon she saw after waking up through time. Even earlier, it was the first time she opened her eyes. The moon as seen.

Although at the beginning, she also thought that the moonlight was different every day, but after a long time, it seemed that every day was just repeating yesterday's experience, even the moon, whether it was full or short, made no difference.

Atlee sometimes wakes up from a trance and wonders, where am I, what am I doing, who is next to me.

Everyone in the city lord's mansion knows that the city lord sometimes suffers from memory loss and unresponsiveness.

Just like ordinary people getting old.

But most of the time, it's just that Atlee just struggled out of the time gap.

She has lived in it for hundreds of years, but in reality, it is only a moment.

who I am.

Why do I exist.

Where do I go to find myself.

"Time... If even time can't objectively leave traces on the body, this world doesn't make sense to me." Atley said slowly: "My lord ancestor, sometimes I think, like Are you and me favored by time, or imprisoned by time?"

"They say we are all slaves to time and we are masters of time."

"But is that really the case?"

Lan Luo put down the unformed sculpture in his hand, looked into Atley's eyes, and said after a while, "You should use less power of time."

Atley pressed his eyes.

Lan Luo said lightly: "All the time you stagnate on others will be returned to you. If this continues, you will collapse sooner or later."

Atley said softly: "Yes, I feel fine."

"Especially don't try to turn back time. What I see is that you are actively jumping into the fire pit."

Atley: "Anyway, it won't burn to death for a while."

Lang Luo glanced at her: "Is that Liana worth it for you?"

"Would you do this for Samir?" Atli asked back.

Lan Luo didn't speak.

After Atley's voice fell, he slumped down.

She came to herself.

She even compared Liana to Samir.

Is Liana to her the same as Samir is to the ancestor of the elves?

"Clan love?" Lan Luo asked back.

Atley slumped and sighed deeply.

"But it's okay, anyway, Lily is leaving soon, and no one will know except you." Atley comforted himself, and then said to Lan Luo: "I sincerely apologize for mocking you before. Please forgive me... so miserable, Lianna didn't even like me, I'm much worse than you, Mr. First Ancestor."

The First Ancestor at least has a chance to be saved, and can even use the Transformation Technique to make love to Xiao Yinlong and sleep in the same room and bed.

Lan Luo chuckled.

Atley looked at him thoughtfully.

She herself has been tossed like this by time, and Lang Luo has no problems at all.

She didn't believe it anyway.

Samir was playing with all kinds of gadgets bought from the Shenghai Banquet in the past two days, and Lan Luo was away at night these days, so he didn't know what to do.

Suddenly there was a flashing shadow on the wall. Samir didn't turn around, and threw an ice blade directly towards the window. The ice blade has strong lethality and high concealment. At this time, it is much better than throwing a fireball. .

The voice nimbly avoided the ice blade, bent over and jumped in from the window frame, and landed gently in the room.

Samir then turned around, looked at the other person's gray eyes and deep-lined face, and said hello: "Carmen, what's the matter?"

In the past two days, Carmen hadn't come to look for him, or even showed up. Samir almost thought he had already left.

Carmen lowered his eyes. The eyes of the feathered people are generally darker. The gray pupils look deep and dull, but the indifference of Carmen is stronger.

He looked better now than when Samir first met him.

Samir remembered the first time he saw Carmen in the slave market. Carmen was locked in a cage with scars all over her body. Anyway, she was already a mutilated Yuren, and the slave traders didn't want to at least make it look better on the surface.

And Carmen stood in the cage with heavy shackles on his neck, wrists and ankles. He looked at the figures walking around outside expressionlessly, his eyes mixed with indifference, dead silence and extremely calm hatred.

Samir was attracted by this look at the time.

Carmen didn't look very good-looking, but his facial features were fair and his outline was clear. Especially at that time, he was thin and dark, with scars on his face, and burns and bruises for unknown reasons. From the appearance, he was a slave trader. Some people dislike selling ten copper coins.

Samir squatted there, listening to the slave trader tell others: "I really didn't hit it, he did it himself... Who knew he would jump into the fire!... No, he is very obedient now, If you don't believe me, if you whip him, he won't move!"

The slave trader was still communicating with the guests, and Samir was squatting there, staring into the eyes of the disabled feathered man. After an unknown amount of time, the small feathered man's gaze finally met him.

Samir clicked his tongue twice, thinking that those people were really ignorant, and the soul hidden behind these eyes was simply priceless.

He smiled at Xiao Yuren, and bought Carmen without haggling.

Afterwards, he gave Carmen a dagger.

After that, Carmen held the head of the slave trader and returned the ten copper coins to Samir.

"Long time no see," Carmen said.

His speaking style is still the same as before.

"It's been a long time. I didn't expect you to know the city lord." Samir knew that the city lord had already arranged for Carmen to check for news secretly after listening to their conversation.

"I do something for her and she pays me." Carmen said, "Why are you here?"

"It's normal for me to appear everywhere. It's not that I have grown two legs, and they haven't been interrupted yet." Samir said with a smile.

Carmen thought that he was the same as before, nothing had changed.

Although he doesn't know any of the people around him now.

Carmen realized one thing from a long time ago.

For him, Samir changed his destiny, but for Samir, it was just a hand in hand.

In the same way, Samir will not be affected in any way if he leaves him.

Just like Samir can go wherever he wants, his heart is never bound.

Carmen also didn't want to be tied down, so it was only natural that the two of them eventually separated, and of course.

Samir smiled and explained: "I was also poisoned by the plague before, so I rested in the City Lord's Mansion."

Carmen: "Have you been in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Samir spread his hands: "Yeah, I can only lie down every day, it's miserable."

Carmen: "..."

If I had known you were here, I would have come to see you.

But he didn't say this sentence. Facing Samir, it made no difference whether he said this or not.
