[Comprehensive] Love between the two worlds

Riddle took Daiyu out of the ruins and came before the crowd. He climbed up the high tower and announced loudly: "Under the tower, all the people of Camelot. The rebels have been killed, and the lion The vultures were also wiped out. Your homeland has won the victory it deserves!"

Knowing that the war was over, the people of Camelot ran out of their hiding homes and gathered at the foot of the palace, standing with the knights and soldiers. The careful people brought water and food to comfort them. They just need to rest after the war.At this moment, everyone held their breath and listened quietly to their king's solemn declaration. When they heard the word "victory", everyone couldn't help cheering, for their king, and even more for their generation hometown of life.

The knight commander first shouted: "Long live His Majesty the King! Long live His Majesty the Queen!"

Then, as if they had been reminded, one citizen drove two, and two drove three. Gradually, the sound of cheers and blessings filled the city-state of Camelot, echoing in the empty sky.

When everything was over, the people and soldiers also went back to their own homes, preparing to calm down the fearful mood that night.Riddle and Daiyu also returned to the palace, and the collapsed place did not affect their sleeping palace.At this time, a guard came to report: "Among the rebellious wizards, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Seeing Daiyu's tired look, Riddle asked aloud.

"It was the young wizard named Grant Brown, who said he wanted to express his gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen, and that he would serve Camelot for life."

"Participated in this rebellion, let him finish his prison sentence first." Riddle sarcastically said.

He remembered that this wizard followed his teacher who believed in the God of Nature wholeheartedly at first, but was later used as a shield by the teacher. It was Daiyu who saved him with magic regardless of the past.But he was not so kind, and he still remembered the bad words he said to Daiyu before.

"Wait, tell him, I hope he can be as 'great' as his name in the future." Daiyu instructed.

"Yes." The guard stepped back and told Grant what Daiyu had said.Daiyu, who left this world later, would not know that there was such a young man who had fought all his life to realize the promise of "greatness".

Both were exhausted and were going to rest.Daiyu suddenly thought of a question: "Where's the hornet?"

The guard immediately came up to report: "It has been dug out, and it is about to be executed and thrown outside the city."

"So, it's still alive, right?" Daiyu said, "Let's put the hornet in an open place far away from human habitation."

"Day, do you want to save it?" Riddle said.

The guard also said: "The Horntail is too dangerous, please think twice, Your Majesty the Queen."

Daiyu said: "I only know that if the hornet didn't kill the griffin, I don't know how many people were killed or injured tonight; if the hornet's body didn't block the rocks for you, I'm not sure if I can see you again. "

Riddle also laughed when he heard the words: "What I said is that I am the first person who should save it."

The soldier wanted to persuade him again, but was silenced by Riddle's sentence "If the hornet hurts another person, it will be executed".After all, Camelot also benefited from the Horntail. He is not so thick-skinned that he can ignore the kindness of the Horntail.Although this kindness is not what the Horntail is willing to give.

The Horntail was seriously injured. Riddle first sent the court physician to give simple rescue, and then he and Daiyu came to it and used healing magic to help it treat the wound.

The Horntail opened its yellow eyes, and a pupil like a black line stood up inside, showing a trace of gratitude in its originally cold gaze.

After the treatment, he raised his eyes and saw that this was an empty grassland near the city, and not far away was a river of moderate size, which was connecting to the large lake outside the city-state.

Recalling the Banshee of the Lake they saw when they first arrived outside Camelot, both Riddle and Daiyu felt a world apart.

All of a sudden, all the existences around were fogged into a hazy one, and the whole body seemed to be wrapped in moisture, and then a series of crisp laughter came from the ears.

"You guys finally think of me." A soft voice said, seeming a little happy.

Riddle and Daiyu found that they had returned to the big lake at some point, or maybe they had never left here?What the hell is going on here?

A woman emerges from the lake, her face wet and her long seaweed-like hair spread across the water.

"Welcome you have successfully defended the city-state, and I will give the good boy the rewards he deserves."

"Who are you?" Riddle asked, "Did Merlin send you here?"

"I said something incomprehensible again." The banshee covered her face with her hands, and looked at them through the translucent film between her fingers with fluttering eyes, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Forget it, forget it," she suddenly became happy again, turning around on the surface of the water, rolling up ripples and splashes, and then she took out a cup from nowhere and brought it in front of their eyes, with a delicate voice Said, "This is your reward. What you want, it can help you do it."

The whole body of the cup is silver, and the complicated and exquisite patterns are carved. I don't know what kind of mysterious metal it is made of, and it does not reflect light. It looks very simple, as if it has been a few years old.The banshee took it out of the lake, but there was not even a single drop of water on the cup.

Riddle and Daiyu stared blankly at the cup, both hesitant. The sudden surprise made it difficult for them to accept it for a while.

Riddle took the cup, examined it carefully, and confirmed: "You mean, this cup can restore Dai's body to health?"

"Aiya," the banshee circled around Daiyu, wondering, "Your friend is really strange. It seems that her life is not in her own hands, but controlled by others... But it doesn't matter, the Holy Grail will help you solve all this!"

"Really?" Riddle's tone was mixed with joy and suspicion.

"Hmm, as long as she drinks the water from the Holy Grail, anyone can come back to life." The banshee seemed very confident about the Holy Grail.

"But," Daiyu pointed out, "there is no water in the cup."

"It's normal," the banshee said briskly, "The water in the Holy Grail needs to be exchanged with life. You haven't changed it yet, so of course there is no water."

"This... what do you mean?" Daiyu was shocked by the cruelty revealed in her innocent words.

"The function of the Holy Grail is to transform another person's life into another person's body. Otherwise, how could there be so much power out of thin air that can bring people back to life?" the banshee said, "You are also wizards, you probably don't know it .”

"But the Philosopher's Stone once appeared in the world, which can make people live forever." Daiyu couldn't help retorting.

"Oh, that kind of stone, I know," said the banshee, "it's just a milder version of the Holy Grail. In short, if the person who owns the Philosopher's Stone wants to live forever, he must constantly absorb the vitality of the surrounding creatures, but slowly and quickly. It’s a tiny amount, so it won’t be noticed at all. Really, it’s not as powerful as the Holy Grail at all.”

"So, Dai's life is going to be exchanged for mine?" Riddle asked a crucial question with a low tone.

"It should be said that the same power is exchanged for it. Let me see that the lives of the two of you are similar, so it should be possible." The banshee thought.

"Riddle, you can't," Daiyu held Riddle's hand, her tone firm, "absolutely not."

"If he can't do it, it's about the same for a hundred ordinary people." The banshee tilted her head and looked in Camelot's direction. "Aren't there many ordinary people there?"

When Daiyu heard this, she sneered and said, "Why is my life, Lin Daiyu, more noble than a hundred people? Is it more important than the concern of these hundred people's relatives, friends and family members for them? Riddle, she didn't Just teasing us, no sincerity. Let's go."

"Why are you doing this? I kindly helped you, what did I do wrong?" the banshee bit her lip and said angrily.

However, Riddle did not move. He stood there like a silent black shadow, and asked for a while, "Actually, those people in Camelot City are all illusions."

If it's all an illusion, it's not that important, is it?

The banshee smiled and said: "You have lived there for so long, is it true? Can't you tell it yourself? Why do you have to ask me?"

Daiyu looked at Riddle in disbelief: "Are you joking? I don't want to..."

Riddle suddenly laughed softly, "Day, how could I let you bear so many bloody lives..."

What if those people are really hallucinations?He didn't dare to take the risk, in case they were all real people, he also didn't want his Daiyu, who would spend the rest of his life in the guilt of hundreds of people's sacrifices.

Riddle asked himself, he also wanted to spend the rest of his life peacefully and beautifully with Daiyu, traveling the mainland and seeing all the world.But perfection doesn't come often, but imperfections do.He didn't want to experience the pain of being powerless in two worlds separated from Daiyu again; he didn't want to see Daiyu's sick face, tortured by the decline of vitality; In human hands, you can't arrange your own destiny, you can only passively live through the helplessness of a miserable life...

If possible, it would be best for Daiyu to stay in this world.Although there are turmoil and uneasiness, it is free after all, and no one here will restrain and force Dai to do what she doesn't want to do.Dai likes magic very much, and she is also very talented. She can live well in this world, happily and carefree.What worries her every day is such trivial things as "the herb is not yet ripe" and "this magic spell has been misremembered again", and nothing will make her show a painful expression.

And his Dai is so beautiful and well-behaved, there will be many people who like or pursue her in the future, maybe there will be a very good person, Daiyu accepts him, and that person can take good care of her , they will go to see unicorns together, take a nap in the sunny garden together, and spend a harmonious life like this...

Why does everything look so beautiful, but without my own existence... No, in fact, he will be there too.His life will be integrated into Daiyu's life, accompany her through the long years, and guard her until the last moment of her life, the moment when she closes her eyes.

Then, together with her soul, it dissipated in the eternal wind of the sky.

In this way, it is actually very good.

No matter how much he deceived himself, the bitterness in his heart also surfaced.Riddle suppressed all his emotions, opened his eyes, and looked at the banshee in the lake quietly.

"Have you made up your mind?" asked the Banshee.

"Go ahead."

"No! No! I don't accept it!" Daiyu protested loudly.

However, the banshee ignored her words and manipulated the magic.In an instant, there was a strong wind and thunder in the sky, and there were clouds and electricity.Almost instantly, the pouring rain poured down, and soon filled the whole glass.

"Think of the person you want to change, just drink it." The banshee pointed out.

"Dai." Riddle held the cup and turned to stare at Daiyu.Her face full of resistance and pleading was printed in her black jade-like eyes.

"Don't do this, I beg you...give me the cup."

"Can you say goodbye to me?"

"Woo..." Daiyu raised her face and cried out, "I don't want it! I hate this..."

Riddle swayed, "...Really?" He smiled wryly, "Be good, come here quickly."

Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him.

Both of them were in a bit of a panic at this moment, but it did not hinder the concentration and devotion of the kiss. The two kissed eagerly and intently, as if they wanted to sacrifice their souls to each other, or as if they wanted to integrate each other into their own flesh and blood general craving.

All of a sudden, memories flooded my mind, such as the tea talk in Slytherin's underwater library, the desserts made by Daiyu in the Grand View Garden, the love poems in different languages ​​among the flying peach blossoms, and the time when I thanked the unicorn on the swing. Every afternoon spent safely in the past, the appointment in Hogsmeade, the unforgettable Christmas ball at Hogwarts, and even the Moffingant family fighting side by side, each other's thoughts and worries when they were blocked and could not see each other... ...everything is so clear, it seems to be engraved in the bottom of my heart with a knife.

Such a wonderful relationship and staying together, I really don't know which life's blessings have been used up in exchange for it.That's what makes it so cherished.

A strong reluctance suddenly rose in Riddle's heart, and this kind of reluctance made his heart angina, and it seemed that he could no longer bear it.He regretted it, he didn't want to hand over his Dai to others with his own hands.

"...Mmm." Riddle suddenly groaned in pain, and at the same time, he tasted blood in his mouth.For some reason, Daiyu bit him hard, her lips were tingling.

Taking advantage of Riddle's momentary stupefaction, Daiyu quickly snatched the Holy Grail from his hand and threw it far into the water.As if it wasn't enough to relieve the anger, a magic blasted the Holy Grail into pieces.

"Day!" Riddle looked at her in shock.

"Fool! Don't talk!" Daiyu said these words in a vicious voice, and kissed Riddle again.

After the kiss, Daiyu was still out of breath. When she was in a daze, Riddle seemed to understand something, bent down and laughed.

He let out a long sigh, but it was not a lament, but a relief, he stretched out his hand and hugged Daiyu in his arms, and said: "Dai, you are right, why did I have such a terrible idea just now? I will never die in this life." I won't let you go!"

Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she heard the words.

The banshee in the lake looked at all that happened in such a short period of time, and she still couldn't recover.Why did you suddenly reconcile?Can't save people?

The mist that shrouded the lake slowly dissipated, and the sound of "rumbling" thunder could be heard endlessly. The lake water spread out to both sides, revealing an island in the middle.

On the rocky reef at the very edge of the island, stood an old man with a white beard wearing a red old cloth robe.

"Merlin, look," the lake banshee swam over and complained aggrievedly, "they broke your holy grail."

The old man with gray beard looked up at Riddle and Daiyu.The two of them saw his face clearly and couldn't help but startled.

Riddle said: "So you are Merlin."
