book of contract

Gratias stood in the center of the field, the wind blowing dust away, surrounded by rubble and debris.

He just had a battle here with the fellows of the Mezzalanth of the Seven Brilliant Treasure Tree, and everything around him was destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion from the battle. He tried his best, but caused a tragic situation that almost hurt both sides.

The center of the battle received a powerful blow from Mezzalanth, and Grantias, who had suffered most of the damage, looked fine except for his clothes being a little tattered and some blood on his body, but only he knew that his body What is the extent of the damage.

Even so, he still has the strength to fight again, much stronger than the two people who lost consciousness.

He slowly walked towards the two unconscious people, but was blocked by a person crawling out of the gravel.

"I will never let you touch Ku and Lei in the slightest." A short girl pushed away the stones on her body, stood up with injuries, and blocked the unconscious Ku and Lei behind him, There is a great momentum to fight with it.

Gratias just looked at her quietly. This girl's combat power has been taught before. Although she is strong, she is not enough to compete with him. She can't hurt him in his heyday, let alone now.

Even if she was seriously injured by the Seven Brilliant Treasure Tree, it would be easy to kill her, and she must have known it herself.

"Even if you die, I will stop you."

Gratias heard the girl say so.

What made them stand in front of him knowing that there was no chance of winning but not giving up?

What makes them so determined to protect each other?

They have surprised him more than once, and they have grown faster than he expected.

"Gratias." As his jihad angel Idoi was also injured, "Kill him?"

As long as he is willing, he can kill Ku at this moment and take away the Seven Brilliant Treasure Tree of the Wind Element of Mezzalanth, but he has not done so.

Looking at the two people who had lost consciousness and were holding hands tightly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. It seemed that he had won, but in fact he had lost.How embarrassing, Gratias thought, to be forced into such a situation by two children.

"Forget it. This time, let's treat it as my loss." Gratias laughed at himself, glanced at the girl who was obviously seriously injured and couldn't stand still, turned and left without any regrets, and in the surrounding scene Against the backdrop, it reveals an indescribable exhaustion and loneliness. "Let's save our fight for another time."

He didn't know why he gave up the task, but he suddenly didn't want to do it anymore. Even if he understood that even if he gave up, as long as the contract between the Seven Brilliant Treasure Tree and the boy existed, there would be endless pursuits. He was just one of the many tools of those people. A sharper one.

If a powerful weapon does not have the same power, how long can it protect it? It will be endless escape, fighting, hunting, guarding with all its strength, or if its strength is insufficient, life and death will be separated. This is the fate of the Seven Brilliant Treasure Tree.

As weapons and human beings, no matter how deep the relationship is, as long as they die, the contract will be broken, as long as they die...the bond will disappear.

How far that boy named Ku can go with the seven-gold tree named Lei, he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know... Maybe one day they will be like him, oppressed by the cruel reality and bow their heads .

But so what... He raised the corner of his mouth, he just felt that he was tired...

So he abandoned the mission.

However, Gratias did not expect that someone would be waiting for him.

As soon as he returned to the Orcanard headquarters, before he could catch his breath, he received a fatal blow from behind, and blood bloomed in front of his eyes.Without even feeling the pain, blood gushed out when he opened his mouth, and his eyes shrank suddenly.

"Gratias, you must not have thought that you will have today, right? I have been waiting for this day for a long time, go to hell."

Gratias' first reaction was not to avoid or defend, but to throw Idoi forcefully towards the distance. Before that, he said "run" in a voice she could hear.

It was because of his negligence that ants can still bite people, but it is not difficult to foresee that he, who has established so many enemies in Orcanade, will be killed by ants he despises one day.

The moment he was seriously injured, he thought a lot. He suddenly felt that he was so naive. He once swore to his brother frankly that he would protect the jihad angels, but in the end, he became the executioner that everyone feared. The angel's terrified eyes couldn't be saved, and he couldn't even say words of comfort, because he had to kill them.

Obviously tired of what Orcanard did, tired of their behavior of treating jihad angels as rare gems, looting them when they are happy, and eradicating them when they are unhappy, but no matter how unwilling they are, I am theirs. It is a fact that no one can change the fact that it is a sharp tool for evil.

What was he afraid of? Gratias didn't know why he was so afraid of death at the beginning, probably because the scene of his brother's death was so unforgettable.

Knowing that Olcanard's power is too great, crushing him to death is like crushing an ant, so in order to end up with the same death as his brother, he chose to bow his head to reality and stop fantasizing about it. Change fate and protect the jihad angels.

Instead, obey them and complete the tasks they assigned one after another.

Kill one holy war angel after another.

——In this way, the cowardly and cowardly me, unable to get rid of all this, the me who has no other choice but to accept my fate, is really ugly.

Many thoughts suddenly disappeared like a flash in the pan, and Gratias's head was blank. In the end, there was only one thought, which was to let Idoi escape, let her escape from the range of Olkenard, in order to let her live, Don't hesitate to turn your back on the enemy.

After all, people are mortal, and I have been confused all my life, obeying orders, not knowing what to do right or what to do wrong, but only this moment is for myself, and the heart that wants to protect Yiduoyi belongs to me.

Run away, Edoi, Olkenard is about to change, so the farther you run, the better, and then...

live...

When he was about to die, Gratias felt that the man in front of him looked familiar. By the way, because this useless man failed in his mission, he killed his favorite holy war angel himself. No wonder, no wonder he showed such happy and painful expressions eyes.

Gratias laughed. He had to face the worst outcome, probably death, but he was relieved.

However, this man's ending will not be any better than his own.After the revenge, it will only become the next sharp tool of Alcanard.

However, this man still has his own feelings and heart, and he is doomed not to be a ruthless tool, and he is doomed to suffer all his life.

He really is a bad person, he thought, all this is the retribution he should pay.

However, the sincere smile of the little girl named Meris appeared in front of her eyes.

she says.

——For me, Grandias is actually a good guy.

Thanks, that's enough.

The painful and bleeding body has gradually lost consciousness, and for the first time a real smile appeared on the blood-stained face.

It seemed as if he had seen some beautiful scene, and he was lost in the past, and the blood-stained ice melted away, revealing tenderness and warmth for the first time.

— Let’s have a drink together next time.

Sorry, we're going to miss the appointment.

Live well, little girl...

……

At the same time, Meris on the other side raised her head as if she had sensed it, and the sudden cold froze her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe, and even the dishes in her hands fell to the ground, so she didn't have time to take care of them.

"Meris, what's the matter with you?"

The proprietress and Fei Yin rushed out immediately when they heard the sound, and what they saw was Merisi who was about to bend over to pick up the pieces.When she heard Fei Yin's voice, she turned her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, sorry, I broke the bowl, I'll clean it up right away."

"It's okay, Meris, I'll clean it up here, do you want to take a break?" The boss wasn't angry, just full of worry, Meris never made such a mistake.When her eyes fell on her hand, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Your hand is bleeding! Feiyin took her to bandage it."

"Okay." Feiyin dragged Mei Ruisi inside without waiting for her to refuse.

"I really don't mind. It's fine if you don't apply medicine to this small injury." Merris showed a full of energy, trying to convince Fei Yin.

"The proprietress and I are very worried." Feiyin's blunt words immediately made her unable to tell any false lies, "Are you really okay, Meris, you are not in the right state today, you are absent-minded, yes Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"I don't know why, but I feel flustered all day long. I was just a little sad at that moment. It's no big deal." Meris smiled reluctantly, "I probably missed my sister. Zhu Xiang is all right. I'm really fine."

"Well, can I go with you when I'm done?"

"Of course I can! That's great." Mei Ruisi was a little surprised, because she had already regarded Feiyin as her family, and seeing her sister with Feiyin was what she had been looking forward to, but she didn't know how to say it. I'm afraid it's because I'm getting hot, which makes Feiyin unhappy. "I often tell my sister about you, I believe she will like you very much."

Seeing Mei Ruisi's happy expression, a faint smile appeared on Feiyin's pursed lips.

"Every time I come to see her, I always feel that the boredom in my heart can disappear a little bit when I talk to her." Mei Ruisi said after worshiping her sister's small grave.

Concubine Yin looked at the small graves around her. Those were shelters built for them by the relatives of the dead, entrusting the thoughts and condolences of the survivors one after another.

But where did the dead go, and do they still exist?Can the voices of the living people be conveyed?

"In the end, maybe this is my self-comfort, maybe my sister will never hear my voice again, but I need this kind of longing and sustenance to live, sometimes I feel really despicable, when I I failed to let my sister live a happy day, but after she died, I was happier than before... despicable enjoyment sacrificed the happiness she gained."

"I don't know what your sister thinks, but I don't think the happiness you enjoy is obtained by using her sacrifice. She is your past and cannot interfere with your future. If I were her, I would be very happy You can live happily, so I think she should think so too."

"Feiyin, are you worrying about me and comforting me like this? You're so gentle."

"It's not consolation."

Standing here, Fei Yin felt an indescribable sense of guilt listening to Meris' words, and unconsciously clenched the hand hanging by her side, her hand must have been stained with a lot of blood.

No matter what the process is, countless people died at their own hands, and this is the result.

"Besides, I don't think you are despicable. Her death is not what you hoped for, and her result is not caused by you. What I see is you who tried everything to love her. So you should enjoy all these happiness, No one is qualified to question, not even yourself. You are different from me, Mereth..."

"Feiyin..."

"I'm the real mean, Mereth."

"how come?"

"Actually, I am far dirtier than you imagined. I once said that your Mr. Gratias is a bad person, because he is of the same kind. I can detect the bloody smell on his body, because I have also killed people. Maybe I have killed far more people than him... The hatred and resentment of countless people have gathered on my body, and the happiness I have obtained is obtained by trampling on the lives of countless people. Sorry, I have been hiding you until now."

Looking at the shocked Mei Ruisi, Feiyin showed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry."

That person was right, she was a weapon of killing, a tool, she shouldn't have delusions about living peacefully with others, and shouldn't be delusional about happiness, if it was her past self, she must have thought so.

No matter how happy she is in her life at the moment, she has walked through the blood of countless people in the past, and sometimes she feels despicable, but...

Even so, it is impossible for her to give up everything she has at this moment. After experiencing happiness, knowing what happiness is, and having happiness, it is absolutely impossible for her to return to her original self, a world with nothing.

"Seeing your apology and guilt towards your sister, I don't think I deserve you to like me so much, and I don't deserve to be regarded as a family by you. Because even so... I don't have the slightest guilt for killing so many people. I'm sorry, I have to go on like this, I can't regret it, because I want to be happy, maybe I'm the real bad guy, I'm really sorry."

Even if I have no memory, I still know that this kind of life is what I have always longed for, and I feel an unreal sense of luck.The happier you are, the more you fear losing.

It doesn't matter if you say greed or not to be forgiven.She didn't want to let go, didn't want to lose.

I who killed so many people, if I said to those who were killed by me, please forgive me, it must be very hypocritical and ironic.

So she won't say, she won't regret it, and she doesn't need to be forgiven.

Because she still knows how to kill, and still needs to kill, because killing is the only protection method she knows, if someone threatens her with Kira's life, even if she destroys the world and slaughters everyone, she will do it.

The best way to not want to lose is to destroy all possible dangers before losing.

Facing Feiyin who was smiling sadly, Meris didn't know what to say, she took a step closer, hugged Feiyin and pressed her head into her chest, "Fool, let me tell you, I don't care , No matter what kind of past Fei Yin and Mr. Gratias have, no matter what others think, you are good people in my heart, and bad people will not say sorry, let alone admit that they are bad people."

"Can……"

"Okay, I don't think it's selfish to be stubborn and not let go for the sake of happiness. On the contrary, if you throw away the happiness that came to your door, I will scold you. In my eyes, you will always be a gentle and lovely sister , I should be the one who should say I'm sorry, I asked you to accompany me, but I said so many unpleasant things." Merris raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes were full of pampering and tolerance, "Just like you said In that way, those who have passed away are the past, they are not the future, and they cannot intervene in your future, so I hope to see Fei Yin who is persistent for the sake of happiness and does not let go, just like she did just now, never question the meaning of her existence."

"..." Mei Ruisi's attitude was beyond Feiyin's expectation, making her not know how to respond. "I……"

"Huh? What?"

"Can I worship them?"

Hearing Feiyin's question, Meris laughed, "Of course. Don't worry, everyone is like me. No matter what happened to Feiyin's past, they will definitely forgive you."

"No, it doesn't matter if you don't forgive." Feiyin replied, not to make her feel at ease, but just because she felt that she should do this, not to be forgiven, "I don't know if people will have reincarnation, but I hope... if they have another life , don't meet me again."

The moment she heard her words, Meris opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She never thought that Feiyin would say such a thing. Seeing her serious expression, she was even more speechless.

Just after Feiyin paid homage to Mei Ruisi's sister, she heard the sound of explosions from the distant forest. At the same time, everyone in the town heard it. They all raised their heads subconsciously. The sound and faint smoke didn't affect them much, so they were just surprised for a while and then went on to do what they were doing.

"What's going on there? Why is there such a loud noise and thick smoke?" Mei Ruisi asked Feiyin who was beside her, but she didn't get an answer. When she turned her head, she was startled by Feiyin's serious expression. "What's wrong with you, Feiyin?"

"..." Concubine Yin didn't answer, but her brows were tightly furrowed.

Others may not know that sound, but it is impossible for her not to know that it is the explosion caused by the battle.

There was a battle going on there, Feiyin made a judgment in her heart, and then realized that Kira, Chris, and Jihad Angel Ji were not there, and immediately understood what happened, most likely it was an artificial angel attacking Kira and Chris, in order not to get involved It was the other innocent people who led the battle to the forest outside the town where there were few people.

Feiyin immediately started a wide-area search and ran towards the heat source.Ignoring Meris, he only left a sentence, "Wait here for my return."

"Feiyin!" Meris was a little uneasy, she was worried about Feiyin, she wanted to catch up, but a strange intuition was stopping her.

I always feel that catching up is to completely break the world I live in, because maybe I will know something that Kira and Feiyin deliberately concealed, and I may no longer be able to live an ordinary and comfortable life without knowing anything like in the past, and even Perhaps it is insulated from peace like this.

But Mei Ruisi only hesitated for a moment before raising her foot to catch up. She couldn't help but watch while knowing the danger. Even if it was the price of giving up a happy and peaceful life, she would never regret her choice at this moment. She wanted to get close to them. , even a little bit, I want to know the world of Mr. Gratias and Feiyin.
