After a while, Ling Yun was still the same as before, and had not recovered from the first blow of killing someone with his own hands. Regarding this situation, Anna did not dare to disturb him. Who knows what the consequences of interrupting him would be. After all,
Some things still need to be figured out by oneself, otherwise they will become shackles that a person will not dare to face in his life.
Suddenly, Anna showed a look of shock and turned around to look behind her. A moment later, the five elders hurriedly arrived.
Looking at Ling Yun who was standing there, still a little distracted, the second elder couldn't help but feel regretful. He should have known that he should not have made his own decisions in the first place and left a so-called "test" for Ling Yun.
The second elder really wants to pass this test, so that all the elders can see Ling Yun's unparalleled talent, and increase everyone's attention to Ling Yun, so as to lay a good foundation for whether he can successfully enter the blood pool to receive baptism in the next step.
Who knew that his idea was self-defeating. Not only did Ling Yun feel like he was trespassing in a forbidden area, but he also ended a person's life for no reason without any preparation. What's worse was that this person was actually an undead person.
mage.
Even if he regretted it now, it was too late. The second elder sighed dejectedly. The only thing he could do now was to do his best to protect Ling Yun from being harmed again.
Seeing the five elders arriving at the same time, although she had already guessed that the elders were here for Ling Yun, she still couldn't believe that Ling Yun was so valued in the eyes of the elders. How would she have known that if the second elders hadn't added fuel to the flames, the five elders would be here?
How could two elders appear together!
Anna bowed respectfully to the five elders who had already approached. After all, she was still a candidate and she still had to bow first when she saw the elders.
The elders also returned the gift at the same time, and then the elder asked about what happened, and Anna told what she saw and heard, but the disrespectful words Lucy said in the middle were deliberately ignored by Anna.
ignored.
After listening to Anna's story, the second elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Ling Yun had no choice but to kill Lucy. Since Lucy already had murderous intentions, he couldn't let Ling Yun stretch his neck and wait for Lucy to chop him.
!
But what puzzled him was why Lucy had murderous intentions towards Ling Yun for no reason. Since he couldn't figure it out, the second elder didn't plan to spend any time investigating.
Now it seems that Lucy's death is not important. What is important is whether Ling Yun can open this knot in his heart. This is related to what kind of mentality Ling Yun can maintain when facing the enemy in the future!
If Ling Yun is left with a shadow because of this heart knot, it will undoubtedly be a huge restriction on Ling Yun's future development.
It is useless to talk about more truths now. I just hope that Ling Yun can figure out the truth on his own and recover from this blow as soon as possible. Thinking of this, the second elder sighed helplessly again.
At this moment, Ling Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly exhaled, raised the hard branch, put the sharp end stained with the solidified blood in front of him, and then looked at the bright red blood on the ground in silence.
.
The eyes of everyone around him suddenly focused on Ling Yun. They all wanted to know what Ling Yun would do when he woke up.
After watching for a while, Ling Yun sighed, shook his head slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the branches flew away like arrows and disappeared deep into the jungle.
Thinking that Ling Yun had recovered from the blow, the second elder ran over excitedly, grabbed Ling Yun's arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "You kid, you scared me to death..."
Halfway through, the second elder had to stop, because he found that Ling Yun's eyes were still lifeless at this time, without the unique sharpness in his eyes when he first saw him.
The second elder knew in his heart that Ling Yun had not recovered, but his mind had regained consciousness. The knot in his heart was still untied. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly dropped his grip on Ling Yun's arm and silently returned to the elders.
"Please, Saint, please take Ling Yun to the small town first and arrange a suitable place for him. After everything is taken care of, take his robe and rush back to the castle as soon as possible!" The Great Elder suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice.
Anna was startled, then thought of Ling Yun's appearance, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"Great Elder, Ling Yun's..."
"I know what you want to say, just do as I say, but you must remember! You must take off Ling Yun's robe before arriving in the town, and don't let others know Ling Yun's identity. That's it for the time being.
Well, now he needs time and a relaxed environment!" The first elder stopped Anna from continuing, and at the same time waved his hand to stop the second elder who was about to speak, and said with a deep meaning.
"I know, I will follow the wishes of the great elder!" Anna said sadly.
At this time, Anna was inevitably a little sad. If it hadn't been for her own selfishness, even if she had intervened to stop the misunderstanding between Ling Yun and White, the conflict between them would not have escalated, and Lucy was eventually killed by Ling Yun.
.
When Anna thought about it, she had a large part of the responsibility for Lucy's death. Anna felt deeply guilty about Lucy, so she secretly concealed what Lucy had said.
Anna also felt guilty about Ling Yun. Now that she heard that the Great Elder wanted to take back Ling Yun's cloak, Anna couldn't help but think of the worst outcome.
The robe that Ling Yun is currently wearing is actually an exclusive garment given to all necromancers after they have completed their baptism in the blood pool. It can be said that it embodies the great honor of the undead clan!
In the past, Ling Yun was asked to wear this robe. First, considering Ling Yun's appearance, in order not to cause an uproar, Ling Yun's appearance could only be hidden, and the only thing that could cover Ling Yun's appearance was this robe.
Furthermore, Ling Yun is already qualified to wear this robe. In addition to not being able to summon skeletons, Ling Yun's potential strength has already exceeded that of his peers. Once the plan for Ling Yun to be baptized in a blood pool passes the resolution of the elders, Ling Yun will
Putting on this robe is always a matter of time.
That's why the Second Elder and Anna let Ling Yun wear this robe in advance.
Now that the Great Elder has decided to let Anna take back the robe, and let Ling Yun show his true face, and also hide his true identity, the meaning behind it is self-evident.
Originally a genius with unlimited potential, who might even be able to lead the undead clan out of trouble, might very well ruin his future, or even the entire undead clan's turnaround, because of his own selfish desires!
Thinking of this, Anna felt extremely regretful. She wanted to say sorry to Ling Yun, she wanted to say sorry to Lucy, she wanted to say sorry to the elders, but Anna didn't do that, and she couldn't explain it herself.
Why is this so.
Anna couldn't help but think of her past self. Even though she looked cold and alienated from others because of her parents' relationship, she still had her own pride in her heart. Living an open life has always been the principle of life that Anna believed in, so she would always go her own way.
She never cared about the opinions of outsiders. Even if she knew someone secretly called her a cold-blooded animal who didn't understand the charm, Anna would just laugh it off.
But just after Anna became a candidate for the saint, everything changed. She was no longer the same person as before. Although becoming a saint was Anna's biggest wish all along, it was also the dream of every girl from the undead clan in her life.
The greatest wish.
But when Anna was really close to making her dream come true, she discovered that the dream she had been pursuing was not as beautiful as she had imagined.
After the initial excitement and excitement of becoming a saint candidate gradually faded away, Anna realized how heavy the responsibility of a saint is!
Since then, while Anna has become more and more qualified for the role of saint, she has also gradually lost herself!
Even Anna herself didn't know when she started. She only knew that she had to fulfill her duties as a saint, but she forgot her own voice.
After Anna came into contact with Ling Yun, she still considered how to treat Ling Yun from the perspective of a saint, without caring about her own feelings at all.
Even though Anna wears that cold mask all day long, behind the mask, she is still a young girl in her prime, with the same complex of Prince Charming, and the same fantasy of having a romantic encounter as other girls.
!It’s just that ordinary people will express it from time to time, but Anna hides it very deeply!
After seeing Ling Yun's talent and unparalleled potential that surpassed her own, Anna's long-frozen girl's heart quietly awakened. She was not even aware of this because she was too focused on fulfilling the saint's supreme mission.
Responsibilities.
Although she only got along with Ling Yun for a few days, during these few days, Anna unknowingly became herself again, but this "her" was a little less cold than before, but more cold.
A bit of willfulness now.
Otherwise, with Anna's calmness in the past, how could she be so upset about Ling Yun's unintentional act that something like this happened today that hurt many people.
Anna, who was depressed, walked to Ling Yun and said softly: "Come with me, I will take you to a place!"
Ling Yun raised his head blankly, looked at Anna, and said expressionlessly: "Oh!"
Hearing Ling Yun utter a word without emotion, and then seeing Ling Yun's blank eyes, Anna felt pain like needles in her heart, she turned around resolutely, and walked quickly in the other direction.
She didn't dare to look at Ling Yun again. Even with just one glance, Anna suspected that she couldn't help but shed the tears that had accumulated in the corners of her eyes for some time.
Seeing Anna leaving, Ling Yun followed her closely like a doll that had lost its soul.
The first elder and the others watched Anna and Ling Yun leave, then got up and hurried back to the castle. As they were setting off, the third elder couldn't help but look at the direction where Hill left just now, frowned slightly, and murmured
Said: "Hey... Hill, I really hope I guessed wrong!"
In a hidden place in the misty forest, an angry voice suddenly came, "Why are you holding me back! I don't know you people who are greedy for life and fear of death, let me go!" White struggled to break free from the clutches of the two mysterious men.
Pulling and roaring angrily.
"White, don't be crazy! We haven't been together for more than a day or two. Don't you still know what kind of people we are? Besides, don't you still know what Brother Hill is like!" One of them said
The mysterious man also shouted impatiently.
"Then why didn't you say a word just now? Are you afraid? I'm not afraid. It could cost me my life! Anyway, I must avenge Lucy!" White said still reluctantly, but he
He no longer fought with the two of them, but sat alone on the ground muttering.
"White, we want to avenge Lucy just like you. If another person were to dissuade us today, even if it was an elder, our two brothers would fight with you and we would definitely let the one who killed Lucy
The murderer's blood was splattered on the spot, but it's a pity that the person who came was Her Majesty the Saint... Oh...!" Another person said seriously, and in the end he just sighed helplessly and stopped talking.
"Although I also respect Her Majesty the Saint, I don't think the Saint is more terrifying than the elder. Besides, she is just a yellow-haired girl in the end. What's so great about her!" White said disapprovingly.
"White, let me advise you. If you just said anything disrespectful to Her Majesty the Saint, you can forget about it now and never say it again in the future. Let me tell you, our refusal to speak out just now is not because we are afraid of Her Majesty the Saint.
But I don’t want to embarrass Brother Hill, there are some things you don’t know!” the mysterious man continued.
"Hyde, Heike! Thank you two brothers!"
The three of them followed the sound and saw Hill walking slowly from the darkness.
Hyde and Heike said in unison: "Brother Hill, you are here!"
Hill walked up to the two brothers, patted them on the shoulders, then came to White's side, sighed and said: "White, if you have any grievances, feel free to show them to me!"
White didn't answer, just snorted coldly!
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge Lucy. I will break through to level 7 in half a year. By then, my three-year agreement will expire, and the elders will not make things difficult for me.
After I leave here, I will go and avenge Lucy!" Hill said in a deep voice.
"Brother Hill, count us in!" Brother Hyde said in unison.
"Yes! There is also me, count me in!" When White heard that he wanted to avenge Lucy, he couldn't help but stand up and said urgently.
Hill gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, you all have relatives over there. That boy was the one saved by Anna. If you kill him, it will be against the wishes of the saint. You may not be able to do it yourself."
I care, but what about your family members? Do you want them to be stigmatized because of you?"
Hearing Hill's words, the expressions of the three people couldn't help but change. Indeed, the three of them all have family members in the town, and even have close lovers. Although they are willing to take risks for Lucy, it will affect the people they care about.
This is by no means the result they want to see.
"Brother Hill, but you..." Thinking of Hill saying he wanted revenge, and thinking of the relationship between Hill and Anna, Hyde couldn't help asking worriedly.
"Don't worry about me. Even if I kill that kid, Anna may not blame me. Even if she really blames me, the worst thing is to give her life. They saved my life anyway!" As he said that, he hoped
Er seemed to have remembered the past, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the castle, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and a simple but extremely vicissitudes of life quietly appeared on his face.
"Okay, I'm going back to my post. You should go back quickly. I've been away for so long. I don't know if anything happened." Hill's eyes were full of determination again, and he turned and left.
The three Whites looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and left in their own directions.
Suddenly, White turned around and shouted: "Brother Hill! Wait..."
It's a pity that Hill's figure was nowhere to be seen, and what White saw was the darkness deep in the misty forest.
Hearing White's shout, the two brothers Hyde and Heck turned around and looked at White suspiciously.
White laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, I'll go back first!" After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Hyde and Heike looked at each other, shrugged each other, and then left in the direction of their posts.
During the march, Ling Yun's strange six-pointed blue eyes always appeared in White's mind. He wanted to tell Hill about this, but he missed this rare opportunity.
Because of Anna's guidance, nothing happened along the way. All the beasts stayed away from Anna when they saw her, as if they were afraid of the aura emanating from Anna.
After leading Ling Yun to a very inconspicuous big tree, Anna stopped, turned around, and said sadly: "Ling Yun, please take off this robe on you now."
Ling Yun also cooperated and quickly took off his cloak and handed it to Anna.
Anna sighed in vain, looked at the lost Ling Yun complicatedly, and said softly: "Follow me!"
Then he turned around and walked straight towards the big tree. What was incredible was that Anna actually walked through it.
