The white-haired girl named Yin Yetta hugged her knees and stared blankly into the void, murmuring: "But I never said I wanted to leave here. Besides, what's the point of leaving? No matter where I go.
The same sadness, there is nothing to remember, nothing to leave behind, it is just a waste of effort..."
The negative emotions that hit her face made Alice shudder, and for a moment she had the idea that she might not be able to convince the other party no matter what, but as a talented player, she would not give up easily.
"Don't worry about the meaning of leaving, let's leave here first! Because only those who are not bound are qualified to discuss the meaning of life, right?" She answered the girl's question in a simple and crude way, and then looked away.
To the heavy chain: "Is this the thing that makes you lose your freedom? It doesn't matter, watch me cut it off! Metien, get my sword!"
That's almost it. Where did you get the sword?
Metien had a speechless expression on his face.
"Freedom?"
Yinyeta laughed deeply, and the arc outlined by the corner of his mouth had a gloomy and tragic taste: "You want to say that freedom is the meaning of life, but maybe freedom itself is a meaningless concept. Each of us lives in this world.
, always have to be bound by something, birds are bound by the sky, clouds are bound by the wind... there is no difference."
"So, what are you bound by, Miss Yinetta Raphael?"
Lin Ge suddenly spoke. He did not look at the chain wrapped around the girl's ankle. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the girl's profile. He said in a tone that was not a question, but a narrative: "Trapped by memories of the past.
Are you inside? Or are you blaming yourself for a mistake that is not based on your subjective will? Like what everyone with low self-esteem and sensitive people often do."
The girl's eyes were slightly slanted, and the corner of her eyes reflected a pale white color like snowflakes, with a dark look on her face: "You don't understand anything."
"It's true that I don't know anything, but I can guess some of the truth." Linge said: "You came to this land seven hundred years ago, when it was still called the village of Avignon, because you saw the barrenness here.
and poverty, he used his own power to blow away the mountain range for them, thereby improving the climate and environment here. But at the same time, this power also attracted the people in power, namely the Kreisov royal family and the Cangtian Sect.
They called you an angel, the messenger of heaven, and signed a covenant with you not to harm each other, but later they took the initiative to tear up this covenant..."
"Stop talking."
Yinyeta interrupted his story sadly: "These are things in the past, and they are meaningless in the past, so... they are not important at all."
"I'm not leaving here, ever."
"Please go."
After the words fell, an invisible force suddenly pushed Lin Ge and others to retreat out of the door uncontrollably. The force was not strong and would not hurt them, but it was difficult to resist. When they came back to their senses, everyone found that they were already standing in front of the door.
When they walked outside the windmill tower house, the old wooden door in front of them closed gently, resisting their sight and words.
There was a faint sigh in the room, and immediately, the twelve wings covered with gray and white colors were called by the sigh and woke up from hibernation. They slowly lifted up, moving carefully, as gently as if they were weightless.
Covering the owner's body is like covering her with a white sheet. From hands to feet, every part that will be exposed to the cold air is covered tightly. The fluffy and soft feathers, but
It cannot make people feel the warmth of a quilt, it is more like a cage made of steel, locking up the most miserable loneliness in the world.
The snow is still falling, it is gloomy, deserted and depressing.
……
"I was kicked out, and it's all your fault!" Standing on the steps at the door, Alice complained to Ringer.
You know clearly that this angel has been betrayed by humans, but you still say it so directly. What is the difference between this and poking someone's wound? So it is natural for him to be kicked out.
What now?
The golden-haired maid sighed, with a melancholy temperament of "I am a master but I was cheated by my pig teammates." However, Linge saw through everything earlier than she did, so he just replied calmly: "Obviously, this is not a problem.
The key point. Didn't you notice that she never showed any resistance to the predicament she was in, and the term she used was that she didn't want to leave, she wouldn't leave, not that she couldn't leave."
"Oh." Alice replied dully: "What does this mean?"
"It means that maybe she was not trapped in the tower by external forces, but actively chose this ending?" Olvera, who had had a similar experience and felt the same way, showed a thoughtful expression: "What if
If it's an enemy, we can still defeat her and rescue her; but if she doesn't want to leave, it seems we can't force her to change her mind."
"Of course I know this too." Alice scratched her cheek: "It is mentioned in the legend that angels were very sad after being betrayed by humans, so they tore open the earth and sank themselves into the depths of the rift valley, never to be seen again.
Mortals touching the ground——this is the current situation, right?"
"So, this is the problem." Lin Ge said: "If you don't want to contact mortals, you can just leave. Why trap yourself in the bottom of this abyss and punish yourself just because of other people's mistakes?
Lose your freedom? I don’t think there is such a ridiculous reason in the world."
"That's right, why?"
Alice held her chin, frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out a thought, so she turned her eyes to the little pink-haired girl aside: "Medine, do you know?"
Metien shook her head hastily and answered honestly: "I'm sorry, I don't know, Sister Alice."
My lovely Metien, if you don’t know, just don’t know, it doesn’t matter.
His eyes moved upward and landed on a certain little goblin: "Do you know, Semi?"
Xie Mi put his hands on his hips and said with a confident expression: "You idiot Alice, don't ask me, how do I know?"
How dare you call others stupid even if you don’t know? I can’t say who the real stupid is.
Alice curled her lips and looked at the quiet Saint Shalia. Before she could speak, the shepherd girl shook her head slightly, saying that she didn't know the reason, but the lamb next to her was about to make a move.
"What!"
Ah, the little sheep said it knew.
You know shit!
After going around in a circle with no results, Alice looked back dejectedly, thinking that this team was indeed unreliable and could only rely on her own intelligence. At this moment, Ringer suddenly raised his head as if he had noticed something.
Come, look at a certain place in the forest, and a rapid voice spit out from his mouth: "Saint Shalia!"
The shepherd girl reacted quickly. Almost as soon as Ringer's voice fell, she raised her hand and made a gesture toward the void to pluck the strings, playing a beautiful note. Then, the invisible fate
The thread was pulled by her hand, diverting the fate that should have been on the right track to another path.
Boom——!
Dark blue magic rays emerged out of thin air, like hundreds of cracked spider threads, densely occupying the sky, and launched a fierce bombing towards an area on the ground. Terrifying explosions sounded in the ears, and the person standing
The steps shook violently, and the diffuse smoke also blocked everyone's sight, making it difficult for them to see what was going on.
It wasn't until a few seconds passed and the movement gradually subsided that the people who were suddenly attacked were finally able to raise their heads, looking through the smoke and sand that seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, and saw the beautiful cherry blossoms growing on the ground under the enthusiastic baptism of gunfire.
Grass, ferns and shrubs, dead leaves and petals, and even the humus at the bottom... have all been reduced to ashes and reduced to scorching scorched earth. Every scar on it is straight and deep, and magic rays can be found sweeping across it.
The nearest trace is less than half a meter away from Ringer.
The originally beautiful and peaceful scene was broken. Metien and Semi were so frightened that they hid at the back. Olvera looked at the scorched earth that had been baptized by gunfire, her face was pale, and the lambs were bleating around their master, feeling anxious.
, Alice gasped: "Hiss—what is this!?"
"Creator's Path, Sequence 8 Mechanic's Magic, [Saturation Shot]." Saint Xalia said softly: "It seems we were attacked."
Of course I know this kind of thing! The important point is the identity of the attacker! Where are they? And why did they attack us!
Alice jumped up and down anxiously, but Ringer ignored her, still staring at the forest filled with gunpowder smoke, and then said word by word: "Since we have been exposed, there is no point in continuing to hide."
