One hundred and twenty-eight. Four lords go to four
Claire, who stepped up the steps, was disturbed by the quiet beauty. She opened the palm of her black robe and took out a quarter of an ancient stone seal, then returned to Lu Li and handed it to him.
"We can leave."
The contestants in the palace watched them quietly, watching them walk out of the hall, out of the castle, and out of the manor.
In the cold, silent and empty city, Lu Li and Claire walked along the long street, his footsteps echoing.
After passing the intersection, many figures began to appear on both sides of the road. They stood quietly with faded colors. Some silhouettes that Lu Li had seen and named were still bright and distinct.
"It is a rare honor to be by your side." Willett Marvin patted his blood-stained breastplate.
"In the original story, we were supposed to turn enemies into friends..." Alexis Mengsk said with a wry smile.
"I became friends with Kinuait after that duel, in a true story." Kingard grinned an ugly smile.
Lu Li lost the power to communicate with them, and he could only continue to move forward, just like flipping through a book and reading the words the characters said to "me".
"Do you think eight legs are sexier than two legs?" Ida asked curiously.
"I am indeed a member of the Balanced Church, but I'm not that bad." Professor Hagrid, who didn't appear to be anything special in the crowd, said calmly.
"I should have appeared! And then died in your arms!" Fodort showed her eldest lady temper.
"It was supposed to be my death that made you awaken...but Sterling got there first." The old professor said helplessly.
"Exorcist, please remember that science is no less than a mysterious force, otherwise why would they prevent us from learning?" Sterling, the scientist next to him, said solemnly.
"I didn't expect to meet again like this..." Professor Cesar said, feeling disappointed.
"You destroyed the Earth Dweller's stronghold!... But anyway, this is not true. Anyway, I am not an Earth Dweller. The Earth Dweller" no longer made a ridiculous voice and said normally like a human being.
"I'm really dead this time." Margaret looked at her indifferently.
"My stories...have been deleted..." Gorou lowered his head sadly like an abandoned puppy.
The symbol of the wallless Midnight City, the city gate, stands like a shadow in the distance.
"I'm sorry, Sir Lu Li, we deceived you." Pasha Rivas apologized while holding down his armor.
"Thank you for allowing me to taste the beauty of humanity at the last moment." Blitz Tyr paid tribute to Lu Li.
"I hope you can find the old guy in the future and say hello to it for me." Silver Cross Sloan holding the "old guy" silver crossbow
said.
"Bang bang!" Thoth slapped his shield.
"Lute...thank you...Exorcist..." Root's human language became clumsy again.
"I'm just doing my duty to you, even though I really don't like you." The thin gatekeeper said coldly.
"Heinz Ellis is honored to work with you." Heinz Ellis put his hand on his chest and gave a noble salute.
"Thank you for burying my mother for me... This is enough." The melancholy Ole Lorenzo smiled.
"I haven't taught you anything, but Claire, who was taught by me, has taught you." The wild lion Lei grinned.
"The story is over... not quite satisfactory, but still beautiful." Claire, standing in the crowd, sighed with emotion and smiled.
I don't know where to start, but Claire disappeared next to me. From the beginning to the end, only Lu Li's footsteps sounded.
"Do you need a book list for the garbage house? Let me think about where I can get it..." Mildred Hemprey was still thinking about Lu Li's cursed title.
"Uh...I don't know what to say..." The reserved Tovani wasted the opportunity.
"I'm from Black Box Town. If it still exists, could you please send a letter to my wife for me?" the sad Nunes whispered sadly.
"I see your future! There are flowers everywhere, birds are singing, trees are growing, people are laughing..." The nameless lady rubbed her crystal ball.
"Being a teammate with you is like a dream...even if it's not true." Naxi said gratefully.
"I really have the title of [Edgewalker]! Unfortunately, after the first bite, the second bite followed..." Bentler regretted this.
"Fortunately, I was with my teammates at that time..." Jaeger smiled calmly.
"I will remember my master's salvation." Kane bowed gratefully.
Lu Li arrived at the circular square in front of the city gate.
Two long streets extended from here, one leading from Lu Li's feet to the Alchemy Tower, and the other extending to the World Tree in the center of Midnight City.
The silhouettes gathered around turned into figures that had never been seen before, shrouded in mist.
"This is our little gift." A silhouette wearing a teaching uniform.
"You still don't know me at this time." He has a tall and thin silhouette.
"There are too many gods, so I prefer people." Kris, shimmering with light, held Lu Li's hand and the quarter of the ancient stone seal. She gently stroked Lu Li's shoulder and asked him to turn to the city gate.
.
"Keep moving forward and don't look back."
Lu Li's figure gradually moved away, and the dark and tall city gate became increasingly clear.
"The Exorcist..."
Will Ken's voice sounded at this time, and the parchment on his chest radiated heat, restoring Lu Li's body.
"Put the stone seal into the spire and restore the alchemy tower...trust Will."
Stopping temporarily, Lu Li continued to move forward.
"They are already dead and are using you..."
"What he did is no different from the rope used to succumb to the gods."
"Their bodies have long been occupied by weirdness..."
"Where are you going?"
"You told me."
Lu Li said calmly, stepping into the shadow under the city gate.
"'Remain cautious as an investigator and objectively examine everything around you, including me'... This is the choice I made."
Dusk followed Lu Li out of the city gate and returned to his body.
Will Ken's futile roar went away, and the alchemy tower in the darkness collapsed silently, just like a breeze passing by, and the silhouettes in the square behind him and the Midnight City disappeared with the wind.
