because i am stel

——I don't accept it, it's for their own good... It's the same in the dream world, and so is Terra.I can easily read their minds and let me step back before I become an integral part of their lives... They like my strength, my knowledge, my looks...ah, of course I Knowing that as long as we get along long enough, these shallow likes will eventually turn into real love.But I have always used words, actions, and flames of burning time to stop all romances at such a step.

—But in the past, I never even had such thoughts.

She stood at the door of the caravan and let the fire lady walk away from her.Going to take care of the meal... The skirmish between Felianoer and Kelsey is still going on.And I shouldn't be too eager to participate in it now-they are all smart people.They will handle the balance between each other, and at that time, it should be their turn to intervene.

—I have become weak.

She stood in the doorway, thinking.

——From the time I changed my thinking mode, I was doomed to become weak——Persephone judged this as my growth.I believed her so I didn't go back.However, even if he believed her, it was still in the category of weakness.

She clenched her fist lightly. At this moment, she very much hoped that Levantin could appear in her hands.Because if that's the case, I don't have to worry about it now... Even if the problem is still unresolved.At least now, I can get the pillar.

——Unfortunately, Levantin is not here.

——I'm a little suspicious that Persephone got me in here... Ha, really.I'm also cranky enough.If such things as fluke and shirk responsibility are done, they can't even be called weak, but can only be classified as cowardly.

Inhale, exhale, and clarify the resolution you made minutes ago.

——I will bring the fireproof girl back to Terra, as long as she is willing to accompany me to the end.

——I will bring Fei Liannuoer back to Terra, as long as she is willing to accompany me to the end.

—Whether weak or hypocritical.At least now, I am sure that I am really moved, and they have clearly expressed their intentions to me and have no way out for themselves at all... The Protoss is this kind of trouble.If I really reject their love affairs as I do in other dream worlds, time will not heal them as it heals mortals.They will die, because they were abandoned by me.And it's not that I leave behind the power of a kingdom or an infinite treasury that will be able to erase the death of the motive.

——In other dream worlds, as long as there is plenty of time.I usually only leave when I have confirmed that the other person can live happily without me.but now……

——I can only deal with all the troubles in this world as much as possible before leaving, so that they will not leave any regrets when they walk with me.

She pushed open the curtain, and the girls inside the door had reached a preliminary consensus on the truce in the time she deliberately spared.The fire-proof maid stood, while Kelsey and Felianoer sat on the two sides of an equilateral triangle in a round table with no distinction between priorities.

All eyes were on her when she entered.

And she naturally sat down next to the fireproof maid on the last side of the equilateral triangle—Felianoer smiled sweetly at her.Kelsey looked at her hesitantly.

"Lian will walk with us in the future." The moment she spoke, she saw Kelsey's face darken.And the smile on the corner of Feilian Nuoer's lips was even brighter.

"And the plan we agreed on before will have to be slightly changed."

"...I'm going to prepare new materials." Kelsey turned her eyes slightly, put her hands on the table and was about to leave—she might have thought that Shirtel was going to change the plan for the airborne fiancée and give up She had spent the previous few days preparing for a trip to Farland.

Her eye circles were a little red.

But this is just a misunderstanding.

"Not Fran." Sturtle shook his head slightly before she stood up. "Next, we still have to go to Farland, and we still have to go deep underground after dealing with Farran's undead team, to the ruins of Izaris, the border of Ash Lake, the forbidden passage of the abyss...we still have to go to these places, we must What I did was also the same as what I decided before. And the plan I changed was after that.”

"I still need your help, Kelsey," she said to Kelsey, her tone serious and slightly forceful—but she didn't say what help she needed.

However, this was enough, Miaomiao became docile again, and sat down obediently.

So the topic moved on to another link.

"Bringing the Salary King back to the throne is just to make up for the fading flames, so as to continue the preparation for the Fire Passing Season. Let the hero's pilgrimage work again, isn't it, Fireproof Girl?"

"Yes, Miss." The Fireproof Girl responded to her tenderly.

"And this also means that the salary king does not have to be beheaded. As long as there is enough firewood, their life or death is actually not important, is it?"

"Yes, Miss." The Fireproof Woman replied: "But they can still be used as firewood. Because in this era, Guda, who is most suitable as a hero, has failed. Except for the giant king Youmu who you forgave, and you In addition to the beheaded Saint Eldridge, Faran's undead team and Rudos around the city are still available fuel."

She mentioned the dwarf king around the city in front of Fei Liannuoer, but Fei Liannuoer did not respond to this.

"If you need time, they are the best emergency measures. And my brother who abandoned the honor, Prince Lothric who gave up the duty of spreading fire is no longer qualified for the duty of the main firewood. But he can still provide up to Ten years of stable order."

"Ten years?"

"The decay of the flame is a very rapid process, Shirtel." Fei Liannuoer—let's just use Lian to refer to her here—explained: "Stable order, huge border. In the flame's After the weakening reaches the critical point, the flow of time will become abnormal. A year in Lothric may be 100 years in a place like Linde. And when all time and space gather in Lothric, which is the center of the world, The collapsed space-time itself will put more pressure on the first fire."

Lian made a squeezing gesture.

"The harder the fire is extinguished, the more difficult it will be to rekindle it. The oppression of the world will require higher quality firewood. For example, the salary kings of Lothric can burn for 200 years in peacetime It has to be changed. And this time they have delayed for too long. It is good to be able to burn for more than ten years. If you are unlucky, you may only be able to let the sparks of the initial fire explode."

Ms. Stelter thought about the plot cg of the fire transmission. Indeed, at the time of the fire transmission in the game, even if the firewood of Prince Lothric, who is already the salary king, is brought in, the ignited flame will Weak as a campfire for a picnic.And in her memory, when she replaced Ge Wen as the first salary king, even though her firewood made the first fire so strong that the original stove would be blown up directly.But before spreading the fire, the flames of the first fire... seemed not much bigger than the fading flames of the third generation.

So it really is a problem with the quality of the firewood, rather than a problem with the process of spreading the fire—indeed, when the fire was passed on for the first time, a bunch of king souls and myself, the oversized fuel rod, were stuffed into it.In the three generations of the game, the four salary kings who had been burned once were just combustion accelerants, and the main material, Prince Lothric... was indeed not that strong.

Well, for good reason.

Miss Steele, nodding slightly.

"So, I don't plan to burn the salary king. Whether it's those who were woken up or those who didn't take the seat." She glanced at the fire prevention woman and explained: "I think the Lothric royal family still has merits, So your brother shall live. Take other responsibilities in the new order I have created—I will not decapitate them, nor send them to the Primordial Furnace for fuel."

The fire-proof girl lowered her head and didn't reply—it might be a kind of taboo for her, after all, she didn't seem to care about her blood relatives when she was by Miss Shirtle's side before.

Maybe, but it doesn't matter.

"Then what are you going to do? Shirtel, there are no heroes in this era." Lian looked at her and tilted her head as if imitating her. "If you intend to continue the tradition of spreading fire, then Prince Lothric, who advocated the theory of ending the curse of spreading fire, must be dealt with. But you neither plan to deal with them, nor do you intend to destroy this world... Well, you designed a new Is there a way to spread fire? Or are you planning to deprive them of the right to sacrifice fire?"

"Both."

Miss Steele replied, reaching out her hand to dust off the debris on the table.

"My thinking has achieved a result, a result that is less risky than spreading fire and more conducive to the development of civilization." She stretched out her hand and drew her idea on the table.

"And this achievement can not only liberate the fire transmission cycle, but also liberate you, Lian."

She stared at Felianoer, and explained in the latter's suddenly bright eyes.

"I call it the method of inheriting the fire of civilization - when the civilization continues, all the desires of all living beings, such as life, old age, sickness, death and suffering, are gathered together. It is refined with the fire of sin, and the deposits of human hearts are calcined. Then, with the soul of darkness as the Radiate the mothers, assimilate them and feed them into the primordial furnace in a steady stream-so that as long as civilization itself still exists, the burning of the primordial fire will only flourish and not decay. And the vigorousness of the primordial fire means the stability and expansion of the world, the continuation of civilization will be smoother.”

"It's a very simple idea." Shirtel blinked. "It is no longer the heroes who pass the fire, but all the living beings on this land. What I have done is actually to link the continuation of the world with the stability of order. And I have calculated the stable model of this cycle. Now The only thing that needs to be solved is some technical problems in the conversion of firewood properties-this is also the problem I want to solve in Ash Lake."

"This world will no longer need gods, kings, or heroes. Weak people will automatically gain the power to dominate the world because they support the world's operations—of course, the system defenders of the fire of civilization are still necessary. And this is Ring City, the living gods, and the responsibilities of the Lothric royal family. They will remain aloof, but there is no need and no leisure to spend time on things other than maintaining the operation of the Civilization Fire system."

The characteristic of the Protoss is to stick to their oaths, and they will definitely keep the covenants they make.At least this group of Black Soul World is like this.It's like Gwyndolin has continued the Baijiao for ten thousand years while Fei Liannuoer has been guarding the Ring Seal City.Their long-lived thinking structure determines that they will not change until they die.

Prince Lothric might be the exception—but it might, and shouldn't be.Because Miss Shirtel knew that the prince received education from outside the royal family when he was a child, the idea of ​​breaking fire.

"And you will be set free, Ren."

"I will end your duties as a god on this land - you don't need to step into the primordial furnace in times of crisis, because the new order doesn't need heroes to spread fire. You don't need to continue to guard the dark soul and Ring Seal City, because they will be integrated into the new order, and I will be my permanent guardian."

"And after that... will you, come with me to Terra?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

A shy blush climbed onto Feilian Nuoer's face like a crimson rose in full bloom.But the goddess of Ring City didn't turn her eyes away or lower her head—her eyes and Miss Shirtle's eyes met in the air.And her gaze quickly melted away like water, blending into the invitation of the flaming-haired girl.

"I am willing." Every word of her was so clear and precise that no flaws and ambiguities could be tolerated.

"No matter what the world will be, no matter what the future will be. Whether success, failure, life or death. I am willing."

"I will follow you, Shrter. Wherever you go, wherever you take me, whatever you want me to do, whatever you want me to be. I will follow you, and I will."

"Please accept me. My heart, my body, my soul, everything about me—all belong to you, and you can play with it as you like. I am very happy."

She stretched out her hand and placed her slender five fingers on the palm of Shirtel's palm—the limbs that can shake mountains and change the order of heaven and earth are weak like a slender reed between the latter's fingers.As long as there is one thought, it will be a breeze no matter whether it is broken or manipulated into some strange appearance.

——How heavy...

Shirtel felt the weight, and she knew very well that the mass of this hand was 230 grams, and the total amount delivered by Felianoer was only so much under the action of tendons and mechanics. Like a slender chick.But when she really felt it, this subtle sense of touch seemed to become more and more serious.

Qianjun——For her, Qianjun is actually not a very big number.She knew she could afford it, and she knew she should.But even so, weight is weight, and weight is responsibility.

——Even in those gals in the previous life who were purely for fun, such words, such confessions.It's all beyond my knowledge.Although I have always kept my promises, I have to do what I say.But this kind of... ah, once this agreement is made, the time for its fulfillment will be forever.

Forever a burden?is a challenge.But the so-called challenge, isn't the meaning of its existence just to be defeated?

——Oh, whatever.I'm not against it, and she's delivered everything.Well, if I still can't show a commensurate measure at this time.Am I not on the same level as those ancient dragons who wear the aura of wisdom reduction?

—Phew... hold this hand?

Gently close five fingers together, and gently hold that tender, tense, and a little bit shy hand.Then--

"Leave it to me." Shirtel replied seriously and formally.

And just when she made a decision to establish this eternal agreement with words and actions.In the corner of her field of vision, she saw Kelsey slam her mouth shut and get up from the table.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Miss Lynx's voice was urgent and fast, and she rushed out of the door without waiting for a response.

Miss Shirtle raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her who was shy because she was holding her hand—her reason and instinct were telling her that she shouldn't leave at the appointed time. .

So she asked.

"Do you care? Lian."

And she got an immediate response.

"In our world, heroes and kings deserve to have many companions. Because you have a large number of admirers, and your behavior and deeds are the correct laws and morals—" Fei Liannuoer gently broke away The hand being held.And lightly push those powerful slender fingers back to the girl's fist.

"I'm already yours, Shirtle. And I'm strong, nothing in this world can break me except you... Please go after your companion, she's much weaker than me , and she will only continue to be stable now under your protection."

Miss Shirtle nodded, and looked at the fire prevention girl standing beside her.

"Miss, from the very beginning, I have been your fire-proof girl." The fire-proof girl bowed to her. "Go ahead, I'll take care of everything in the car."

"...Wait for me at the fortress in Farland." Miss Shirtel got up.go to the door.

And the moment she pushed open the curtain, she heard Feliannuoer's persuasion before she left.

"Stelter."

"Ok?"

"Do you believe my vision? Even if it hasn't been long since we officially met?"

"Of course I believe it, even if we only have a few minutes to officially meet."

"Then, please listen to my advice." Felianoer said softly, "That Miss Kelsey admires you, and she has always expressed a deep and firm love for you, just like I did for you. The kind of emotion you have is average. This is the mutual induction between the same kind, and if you have similar feelings towards her, I suggest that you should make a decision at this time."

Miss Steele frowned.

love?Just kidding... ah, maybe it's really something like a good feeling.After all, they all made the move to cover their faces and run away in this situation.It would be a bit self-deceiving to say that it is really just pure friendship.But even so...

--Even so……

She gently exhaled a mouthful of slightly warm air.

"I didn't get along very well with her before. Although I didn't mind it very much, there were always bumps—and I didn't think she was the kind of weak woman like a dodder."

"I think... getting along with her as friends is a good strategy for both of us."

"But you don't seem to consider her only as a friend." However, Fei Liannuoer's voice rose slightly. "I can see some clues. You want to bully her, and she is actually willing to be bullied by you. If you don't completely agree with my speculation... then maybe maintain this state of bullying and being bullied. Bi It's more suitable for both you and her than simple friendship."

Shirtel hesitated for a moment.

There were complicated thoughts intertwined in her heart, but she finally came to an expected conclusion.

——That's right, I really want to bully her back... I used to be teased by her every day, but now I am docile, but the depression is always there.I don't want to hurt her, but... I do want to hurt her modesty, her arrogance, and her body.

—but would she be willing to accept it? ...Yes, maybe it's a compensatory psychology.Maybe it's something else.If I make such a request, she will indeed not refuse.But the possibility of being happy is not [-]%.

——Then, do you want to trust Fei Liannuoer's judgment?

Breathe, think.

——What are you thinking, of course I believe in her eyes... If I don't believe her who entangles me with just one glance, then wouldn't I be put in an embarrassing situation?Phew...then, that's fine too.

——But... Ah, I always feel a little uncomfortable being advised by someone in this field.

The thought ended in one breath, and Miss Shirtle nodded slightly.

"I see, I will think about it." She paused for a moment: "And...wait for me near the fortress of Fran. After dealing with Kelsey's matter, we will go directly to deal with the undead team—we It's been a long enough delay at this stage of the journey."

——You stay by my side, I am very embarrassed, I can't let go.

After finishing speaking, she nodded slightly.Stepping out of the carriage, it quickly disappeared without a trace in the sound of breaking through the air.

The fire prevention girl watched her go.

"Your Highness." She said suddenly after a few seconds: "I thought you would hate that Miss Kelsey. But I didn't expect you to be willing to help her."

She heard Felianoer snort softly.

"Of course I hate it." The little princess of the sun changed her sitting position slightly. "I hate it just as much as you do. Even though I am enjoying Shirtel's favor and care, I always don't know how to flatter me. This can be regarded as self-willedness, or it can be regarded as self-confidence... If it is another time, I am sure Gotta deal with her until she realizes her mistake or just walks away. But..."

She stretched in a totally unladylike way.

"Things have changed. A few minutes ago, I was the Goddess of the Ring City first, and then Shirtel's fiancée. But now the Ring City has to be left behind, and I am Shrter's thing. She is my husband, my object of service, and my master. I naturally have to act according to her preferences, and if she gives up Kelsey in this world, then one day, she may regret it. "

"I have to share my worries for her. The best way to share my worries is to strangle them to death before the birth. I don't want her to recall Rodland in the future, and besides the good memories with us, there will be such a severed relationship The sourness of the sourness - If I have returned to Terra with her, then I can't be bothered to care about the death of Miss Kelsey. But since this is our source world, the memories we have with her, many dead cats It’s always a bit of an eyesore here.”

"I understand, Your Highness." The Fireproof Girl nodded slightly.She reached out, flicked one or two in the air, and the miracle of the propelling vehicle began to work.The exquisite caravan immediately rose from the ground and flew into the sky.

She sniffled lightly, as if she had sensed something, and then looked towards the place where Shirtel left - she sensed a certain familiar aura, and this aura was similar to the black knight armor Felianoer wore before. little connection.
