I really only stop

"【do you know?】"

——That was nothing else, it was the first conversation between Heyera and Lu Xi that opened the discourse of the story between them.

Chapter 684 The Last Gift

"call."

Unable to accept so much information for a while, Lu Xi sat in the darkness under his feet, feeling the empty but real touch behind him, and he sighed faintly.

Things have reached today's situation, not just from the 'coincidental' encounter between me and Miss Hiyera.

In the conversation just now, Miss Heyera had no intention of mentioning that 'the plague used was made by the Bartley family'.

It seems that there is no problem with taking this sentence alone, but if it is connected with the [certain information] I heard before——

"【Do you know what that masked bastard did when our cadres were desperately fighting on the battlefield? He actually hid in the base camp of the Demon Realm to pick up girls! And Yipao is the patriarch of the Batley clan!】 "

——This is the information provided by Oedipus's colleague, the holder of the demonic mark, Fury, brother Heleyer, before meeting Miss Heyera and at the end of the Flame of Wrath incident.

From this, things form a wonderful closed loop.

At the end of the last human-devil war and when the battle was at its most intense, the third Oedipus, one of the important cadres in the battle force, abandoned his duties and entrusted the patriarch of the Batley clan at that time to make a The deadly plague, and sneaked into the Holy Light Trial by some unknown means, and handed over the plague to Miss Heyera.

Oedipus himself disappeared shortly after that, and because of his absence, the last human-devil war also came to an end with [the demon king was killed by the hero, and the whole army of the demon king retreated].

However, things did not end like this.

Hiyera, who got the plague and didn't know what kind of conversation she had with Oedipus, remained bound and waited in Themis. Finally, she saw me and Cocoa who happened to come here, and hid on me.

...Everyone should know what happened next.

No wonder Miss Heyera said [I should have known], as the heir to the Mark of Joy, from the moment I got it, I have formed an inexplicable bond with my predecessor who is full of mysteries Relationship.

It took a long time to finally organize everything from scratch.After confirming that he could no longer draw any conclusions with the information he had at hand, Lu Xi unlocked the time stop, and looked into Hiyera's eyes seriously:

"Is it [Oedipus]?"

"... As expected of Lu Xi, he actually realized what I said in an instant."

Without affirmation or denial, Hiyera just unfolded the wings of light behind her, and her fingertips lightly touched the part of the top that was dyed black by an unknown force, and an imperceptible sigh flashed in her eyes:

"Stop looking at it, son of man. As I assured that Mr. Astrologer, what I did will not hurt you or your teammates. As for other than that, I don't think you are such a loving person." A person who meddles in [other people's affairs]."

Although it seemed that there was still room for turning around, Lu Xi who was facing Hiyera could clearly feel that no matter what he asked, Hiyera would not give any further answers.

"Bah."

The sound of the flames being extinguished suddenly sounded so obvious in the unbearable silence.

"It seems that I can only last here at most."

Looking at the last holy flame calmly, after a moment of silence, Hiyera raised her eyes to Lu Xi:

"Lu Xi, do you know why I set so many [choose one] puzzles for you before?"

Lucy was taken aback:

"Isn't it to delay my steps?"

"This is just one of the purposes. As for your answer later, it changed [Fate] unintentionally."

Looking at Lu Xi's puzzled face with a smile, Hiyera calmly said the words that changed his expression greatly:

"At that time, my main body was fighting Yuxia in the outside world. If your answer didn't satisfy me, I would immediately remove the thorns covering my face, and appear in front of Yuxia in the form of [the first saint] .”

"?!"

It never occurred to Hiyera to have such a plan in the first place, Lu Xi's eyes suddenly widened.

How much Yuxia respected this first-generation saint, she also told me about it before.

If Yuxia witnessed with her own eyes that the founder of the power system of the Holy Light and praised by thousands of clerics [the first saint] actually made a cruel and exterminating act like a demon descending, she would be hit hard Probably beyond imagination.

For the girl who attaches great importance to her status as a "saint", and even insists on praying that is not necessary for her every morning, this may be a blow that is second only to "correct" betrayal.

"Don't worry, since I can tell you my plan calmly, I naturally didn't do it."

Facing Lu Xi's terrifying eyes, Hiyera's expression is still very relaxed:

"Your answer is tentatively considered qualified, so I gave up the original plan, and this is the reason why I said that you [changed your destiny]—but what you changed was not your own, but your teammate Yuxia's." I have to say, you are really amazing to let fate go in the direction you want again—"

"bump!"

The sound of fists and feet intersecting suddenly sounded, and while receiving Lu Xi's straight punch lightly, Hiyera deliberately raised her voice:

"When you heard the fact that the elves were completely wiped out, you didn't attack me, but chose to attack me at this moment? Is Yuxia's child really that important to you?"

"What do you say?"

For the first time, his eyes dropped to freezing point. It was hard to imagine that Lu Xi, who had been laughing and joking in the past, would show such a terrifying expression one day:

"It's a good thing you didn't do that, otherwise, even if you escape into death, I will definitely catch you back."

"...Impossible, when this last holy flame is extinguished, what awaits me will be the real [Death]. Even with the amazing talent of that child, Nana, it is impossible to find any trace of me."

Even if she completely eliminates interference, executes the plan neatly, and dies in nothingness, all the actions of the first generation saintess are not muddled, like a hunter hidden in the dark, and the first shot is lore.

Let go of Lu Xi's fist, Hiyera was silent for a while, and suddenly made a movement that Lu Xi did not expect.

She grabbed the last flame on her body, and with a little force, that flame was held in the palm of her hand.

【——】

The final bell rang loudly at the moment the Holy Flame left the body, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, Hiyera's body quickly became unreal.

"Lu Xi, as I said before, you are weak."

Not paying attention to the changes in her body, looking at the young man in front of her, Hiyera's eyes showed the same sadness again:

"One day, you will usher in a time when everything you rely on will leave you. Facing the ultimate enemy, the only thing you can rely on is yourself. At that time, the love you have always hidden in your heart The fear of you will erode you all the time, this is the sadness that others cannot share for you, I thought you would fall down because of it, but, hearing your [that answer], my heart soaked in despair is the first time There was a glimmer of light."

"After I leave, the holy light affinity of the natural saint level will go with me. But, there is only this last gift, please accept it with a straight chest."

The little holy flame that was about to be extinguished rekindled its bright brilliance following Haiyera's words, and the next moment, without the slightest nostalgia, Haiyera pushed the holy flame in the direction of Lu Xi:

"I, who cannot share the pain for you, sincerely pray in the name of [Hayara]—"

"Son of man, may you find the true [meaning]."

[Ding~ You have obtained new items. 】

【Blessing of Holy Light】

[The original saint's mode of using the Holy Light is very different from the existing general system that was later summarized by the first Pope. It cannot be enhanced with the adventurer's skill point power system, nor can it master new holy arts through skill scrolls— —Although the flame is insignificant, if it is carefully cared for, it will one day bloom with a brilliance that is not inferior to any existence. 】

[PS: I hope you can find the light you insist on no matter when you are. 】

Chapter 685 Unwillingness and Remorse

[The blessing of the Holy Light. 】

[Description: The purest holy light in the world, nothing more. 】

"—!"

Ignoring the need to check the item introduction that popped up in the system, after a moment of weightlessness like being in the clouds, Lu Xi, who finally returned to his body, opened his eyes suddenly:

"Nana! Celica! Yushia! How are you doing?!"

【…】

There was no response from the girls. In front of Lu Xi, there was only a pair of purple-black inorganic eyes.

"Ma, Brother Mamayi?!"

Startled by the ender puppet that almost put its face in front of his eyes, Lu Xi hurriedly asked:

"What about Nana and the others?"

【…】

Hearing this question, the ender puppet, who had been motionless just now, finally moved.He first took out a paintbrush out of nowhere, then took local materials and painted directly on the floor of this temporary residence.

【…】

The first is a full-length portrait of Nana in the usual Renaissance style.This time, the soft girl looked at ease, holding a warm red book in both hands, leaning on the rocking chair warmed by the sun, reading the book quietly.According to the naming format last time, it is very appropriate to call it "The Girl Reading in the Rocking Chair on Sunday".

... Brother Mamayi always likes to paint Nana in great detail when he speaks with paintings, which is also his old problem.In view of his extremely fast drawing speed, I won't complain about him this time.

After earnestly drawing the full-body portrait of Nana with a very high degree of completion, Mamai thought about it, and added a silly Q-version image next to Nana.

There was no need for him to explain further, Lu Xi knew at a glance that this was Zelika.

Seeing that Lu Xi nodded to show that he understood, Mamai's eyes flashed a few times in satisfaction, and then he raised the pen again, and drew a leaf that was so huge that it could fit Nana and Celica in it. Big circle.

Leaves?

Faintly finding that the shape of the big circle looked familiar, Lu Xi asked:

"Isn't this the portal of Your Excellency Lacey Levy? She sent the two of them away?"

【…】

Shaking her head slightly, Mamai drew Lacey Levy and Rui Yin in a suit of familiar armor.

Lu Xi recognized this.After the Wheel of Fortune incident ended, the whimsical soft girl made several sets of armor (a collection of heroes and dolls) that he dubbed [Iron Man from another world]. The drawn armor is exactly the same.

But, why did Mamayi suddenly mention this?

As if seeing the doubt in Lu Xi's eyes, Mamayi pointed at herself with some pride, and then casually smeared a mist on the ground.Lacey Levy and Ryan, who were wearing the Iron Man armor from another world, stood fearlessly in the fog.

"Ah! I see!"

Clapping his hands suddenly, Lu Xi finally understood what Mamayi was trying to explain in a roundabout way:

"When the plague hit, in order to protect Lord Lacey Levi, you suggested that she and Rui Yin put on Nana's armor. Afterwards, Lord Lacey Levy opened the portal and brought Nana, Celie Ka and Ryan left, right?"

【…】

Nodding silently, Mamayi drew three arrows on Celica, Nana and Ruiyin, pointing at Lexi Liwei together.Then he pointed in the direction of Lu Xi, and added a huge fork to the ground.

"You mean, because you were affected by the plague, Her Excellency Lacey Levi's portal can only support the transmission of the four of them, so you temporarily left me here? That's why I said why when I woke up, I was surrounded by Not a single one."

Fully adapted to Mamayi's peculiar way of expression, Lu Xi nodded:

"That's right, doing so is the right choice. This plague should only be fatal to the elves. For me who is sleeping, staying in the elves holy land alone is safer than anywhere else."

【…】

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Mamayi shook her head vigorously.Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand lightly, and a group of strangely shaped and powerful dolls appeared from every corner of the room out of thin air, squeezing the huge room to a tight squeeze.

...Okay, I retract my preface.

Looking at the heavily armed dolls around him, Lu Xi wiped the cold sweat off his brow.

Because I was worried about my safety staying here alone, my soft girl left all the dolls that could be stuffed.

Although the conversation with Ms. Heyera was confusing, I could feel that what she said was true——the conclusion of [the plague only targets the elves] was also made by her [I will not hurt you] and your teammates] come to.

After confirming the safety of the two most unbearable scares in the team, Lu Xi turned to ask:

"What about Yuxia? Through some special means, I seem to have heard that she went to fight the mastermind—"

"Crench."

The door of the room that had been ruthlessly corroded by the plague because of the engraved seal was slowly opened with a creak, and the next moment, the weary figure of Miss Saintess walked in from outside the door.

As if she had suffered some blow, Yuxia looked around in a daze at first, and then she met Lu Xi's eyes.

"—!"

At a speed so fast that people couldn't react, Yuxia's figure turned into a ray of holy light and rushed into Lu Xi's arms. At the same time, there was the girl's cry of relief:

"Great, you finally woke up!!! I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do when I saw you suddenly fall asleep, but in order not to make Nana and Celica worry too much, I have to force myself to behave Appeared calm, comforted them and said 'your state has no side effects' - but! I am also very scared in my heart! What if the good dream spell you are cast has a curse-like effect, what if you just sleep like this Don't wake up, if you leave me like this, what should I do..."

"Okay, okay, I'm awake now."

Patting the girl's trembling back comfortingly, Lu Xi said softly:
