"Tess" slowly rose into the sky, spreading its silvery light across the tree crown. Lily liked to gaze at the night sky, perhaps because of her name.
"El's moonlight has no power. It's just that the magic tide is consistent with the operation cycle of 'Tess', and there have been many legends since ancient times. Just like werewolves...well, lycanthropy patients do not act because of seeing the full moon, but
In the middle of every month, the magic tide is at a low point, forcing them to eat flesh and blood to relieve symptoms. In fact, if they learn some secret techniques to control the magic power in their bodies, they don't need that inefficient and easily scary method.
There’s a way.”
She still remembered that a long time ago - before this era, and before the empire invaded the forest, Yuffie and she often lay side by side on the dry grass, chatting casually under the starry sky. She didn't know where the girl was at this time, and where she was.
Do something; even without her, the other party must be doing well, Lily thought to herself.
Those were the past that did not belong to her. Now she is Lily Ada, the successor of the "Lord of Heaven" in this era. She turned around, and saw a tall and pale woman wearing a long black dress, standing on the crown of the same tree.
From the top, he looked at her calmly and indifferently.
Tiana is not an ally. Even if she 'helped' kill the Erna wizard, Lily is still convinced of this. She is not sure of the purpose of the "Lord of the Earth" and cannot forcefully drive him away. Fimir once warned
However, under no circumstances should one attack Mal. She believed what he said.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" She breathed out and sat cross-legged on the soft and dense leaves. "What do you want to talk about?"
"A story from a long time ago. Do you know how Alex... your 'father' died?"
Lily frowned, then shook her head slightly. Alex Ada was often absent from the tower in the last few years. She remembered that she had tried to search and asked her father's other 'children', but no one knew where he was.
Where did he go? And the almost sudden death of her 'father' is a mystery that still eludes her hundreds of years later.
"You may remember that after Alex finished you, he planned to go one step further and create a perfect life, right?"
The woman did not wait for Lily's reply. She whispered to herself, as if recalling the long past, "In fact, he researched something. In order to test the effectiveness, he left the heaven, stepped into the mortal world, and chose a remote place in the south.
, a town that is suffering from the plague——"
Lily thought of the small village frozen in time in the Luglan Forest, and the friends who had been waiting for her for more than two hundred years. "So... the experiment failed?"
"Successful." Tiana shook her head slightly, "When I found it, the entire town had recovered its health, but it was not just that. Every human being there, whether children, young people, women or old men,
If you don’t continue to grow, you will never die.”
Lily frowned. She didn't dislike immortality, but she felt that her father's approach was a bit unconsidered. "We understand...what's next?"
"I tried to turn them back into mortals, but unfortunately I failed." The woman in black sighed softly, "I can't let Alex continue, he shouldn't do such stupid things." Her voice was calm, but slightly loud.
Husky - "So I killed them all, leaving no one alive."
Lily stared at the other party, her heart full of confusion. Of course, what her father did was inappropriate, and Mal's response seemed to be problematic. But even if it were her, she couldn't think of a solution that would get the best of both worlds -
"Alex was overwhelmed with anger and attacked me desperately." Tiana lowered her fingertips and stroked the blue fragment on her chest, "We often argue and argue, but "Io" gives us power.
, does not allow the gods to kill each other. When he severely injured me, the "network" was no longer under his control."
The woman smiled, her expression a little sarcastic, but more helpless, "Then, I just took his life with just one blow."
Lily gritted her teeth tightly. If Tiana hadn't lied, her 'father' would have died in her hands. But the female mercenary didn't feel angry, she just felt that everything was too absurd, and she even didn't want to believe it.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Two "gods" fought for a village of mortals, and in the end one died and the other was injured." The woman in black looked at her with complicated eyes, not knowing what she was expecting, "I hope you are not as stupid as him,
September."
…
The silver moon sinks and then rises.
The dark sky shrouded the entire tree. The power was soft and warm, covering all her senses that stretched into the distance and watched the progress of the battle.
"Tiana, what are you...doing?"
"In order to prevent you from doing something wrong." The woman in black replied calmly, "As an envoy of God, you should not make the same mistakes as me and Alex."
This sentence made her a little uneasy. In order to avoid assassination and 'obtain necessary knowledge', Fimmel stepped into the "Realm of Mirrors" three days ago and went to a place that even she could not find. And Mal was right next to her.
On the opposite side, the magical network of the "Lord of the Earth" is as calm as water, and Protodis will probably not break the agreement. In this case, who is worthy of her "making wrong things"?
The answer was revealed quickly, even before she could break through the darkness. When Tiana regained her power, Lily confirmed the death of Ann and Elio, and also knew who had done it.
"Ariel." She extended her power and called out the names of the Celestial Clan, "Why do you want to kill them? After all, they were once your companions?"
"This is Lord Femir's order." Tian Clan replied, "As the enemy's brains, An has done an excellent job. If she is left behind, Lord's plan will not be achieved."
This is a hard reason to refute. But it doesn't matter. As Ada's successor, she has the ability to resurrect anyone who has died. As long as Fimiel wins, Lily told herself, these sacrifices will no longer exist.
But what if they lose?
No, that kind of thing never happens, the female mercenary thought. Fimmel still has the oil lamp. If necessary, he will definitely make a third wish to end the war completely.
…
The silver moon sinks and then rises.
The long attack and defense of Golden Rock City is coming to an end. Kailo has gone somewhere unknown, and the deaths of An and Elio have worsened the declining morale. Fatigue and sleepiness have become the last straw, and some soldiers just lie down against the battlements.
He never opened his eyes again.
Lily was sure that within two days at most, the insect swarm she created would sweep across the entire city and completely destroy the resistance of the "human coalition".
By then, 'Illot' will have absorbed enough power to make her and Fimiel's wishes come true. She is not sure how to achieve it, but she firmly believes in the scene in the dream and the young wizard for no reason.
The ideal of promise.
The only remaining variable is the Erna wizards with thousands of years of heritage. A secret ritual four days ago turned tens of thousands of giant insects into nothingness. To this day, her 'old friends'
There were casualties among the group of wizards, and no one gained a decisive advantage.
And she could do nothing but wait.
Tiana Weiss was opposite her, looking calm and silent. In fact, she was too lazy to talk to her. But Lily understood that if she took action against those Erna wizards, the "Lord of the Earth" would definitely
She will kill all her 'old friends' at a faster speed.
"You can kill my children, or anyone who opposes you." Tiana once told her, "but don't forget, when it comes to death, I am the expert."
Lily didn't want to see that kind of thing. "Io" prohibited the gods from killing each other, but never stopped them from attacking mortals. But what she wanted was a happy, lively, perfect world full of laughter, not just
There are only ruins left, a wasteland where no living beings can survive.
She once again immersed her consciousness into the Internet to observe the situation of her 'old friends'. In her perception, the number of 'living gods' near Jinyan City increased a lot, nearly doubling the number not long ago——
Did Fimir finally convince Harun, or did Hisa's mother come to help her? Lily skillfully integrated into Baili's five senses, and as expected saw Hisa, Kaya, Celine, Harun, and many familiar faces...
...However, they are all located opposite 'him', forming a vague semicircle.
The Erna wizards floated in the air, surrounding them from the other side. The powerful magic power was woven into a net and condensed into a ring, like a sharp sword hanging above the head. Sensing the anxiety in Bai Li's heart, Lily didn't need to think too much, and
She knew that the 'old friends' who followed her and Fimiel were in an insurmountable dilemma.
"What did you do?" She regained consciousness, trying to find a clue from Tiana's expression, "Why would Harlan..." Be willing to stand on her opposite side, even leaving the forest for the first time?
"Because you are wrong." The woman replied indifferently. "Like Alex, he thought he had gained power and wanted to take the world as his own." She put her hands on her knees, and her fingertips were immersed in the dark mercury-like air.
Long skirt, "Your 'old friends' have independent wills. The human named Kylo Russell impressed them, that's all."
"But..." Where is Femir? She was a little unbelievable. The genius wizard who led the dragon alone, persuaded Harun and Xisa, and helped her obtain the inheritance of her 'father' would be defeated by another ordinary human. He must have a descendant
Hands, don't worry, it's the same every time, Lily thought. "It's just a temporary advantage -"
"Stop indulging in false promises, it's still too late to turn back now." Tiana raised her eyelids, the pity in her eyes was obvious, which disgusted her, "Do you really think that Fimmel Stark gave you everything?"
What else? She didn't speak, but her expression already showed this.
"He doesn't trust anyone except himself." The woman retracted her fingers and stared at the ripple-like lines on the dress, "Do you understand the second wish he made?"
She really didn't know. Fimmel had assured her that that wish had nothing to do with Luglan Forest and her 'old friends' - she was certain that the other party was not lying at that time.
"That's enough, we don't want to listen to your nonsense." She stood up and walked aside, not looking at the woman's face. "You can't kill Fimir, so why don't you stop talking nonsense here?"
"The object of that wish was you. I don't know who would mourn your death, September. At least not he."
From behind, a woman whispered, and she tried to ignore it.
…
The silver moon sinks.
"What...did you do?"
At the top of the giant tree, Lily suddenly stood up. A moment ago, she felt the slight trembling of Mal's "Network". At the same time, one of the fires of life she was paying attention to was simply and completely extinguished.
That flame belonged to Elena Qiu Yue, the 'Holy Lady' of the Theocracy and a former member of the 'Lilinono Regiment'... Three weeks ago in the evening, they sat across from each other in the tent and claimed to be the one who wanted to defeat her.
"She is a follower of Leonos." Tiana said casually, "I help you get rid of an enemy. You should thank me."
An unabashed provocation, Lily thought to herself that if she was angered by this method, she would be playing into the opponent's hands just like her 'father'. She exhaled, slowly sat back down, and suppressed the waves in her heart.
"...Who wants you to meddle in other people's business? Do you think that killing our former companions will expose our flaws?"
"You're calmer than Alex, but you're just as naive." The woman looked past her to the far south, "Do you think this is a children's war game?"
Of course she had never thought so. To be fair, Elena's death was not enough to change anything. She was willing to kill anyone for her 'ideal', and she had already witnessed the death of her former friends. What made her uneasy was that even if she became "Heaven"
"Lord", she is still not omnipotent.
The scene agreed with Fimir is still before her eyes. Along the way, the young wizard has broken countless barriers until he helped her obtain the inheritance of the divine envoy. In terms of strength, she was far superior to him at this time, but when he left her side,
Lily felt as if she had lost her most solid shield.
She put aside unnecessary thoughts and tried to use the "network" to find Elena's soul, but as expected she found nothing. As an angel, Lily understood that Tiana, who had nearly a thousand years of experience, understood and used the "network"
, far beyond her.
Whether it's just pure malice or a hidden trap, this is definitely not the last time. She knows that Tiana is seriously injured, but she doesn't know if she can kill the opponent with one blow with the strongest means at present. Even if she does, she will lose her divine power.
It’s hard for Lily Nono to help Fimir anymore——
For a moment, Lily even suspected that this was Ann's plan to defeat Fimmel and her, but she immediately rejected the idea. Ann died together with her knights, two days earlier than Elena. And if it was Ann, she thought
, we will definitely not pay the price with our partners’ lives.
She remembered Sister Lan's calm and determined expression in the dark camp again. If this is your approach, little Elena, as the leader... she will be very disappointed.
Because she will never back down. No matter how much responsibility and sacrifice she has to bear, she will move forward along the ideals of the two of them. Of course, the premise of all this is that they can win this war...or, for Lily, win
He passed the woman in front of him who was also a "god messenger".
She is a natural sage, the most outstanding daughter of her 'father', Lily encouraged herself silently. Just wait and see, she thought to herself, even if Fimiel is not here, she can prove that she is the true heir of the "Lord of Heaven"
——
…
Then, the silver moon rose.
Lily stood in the center of the canopy and looked up at the sky. 'Tess' was like a very thin arc, almost invisible among the stars. Winter is over, she thought.
When they came to this world, it was the beginning of the "Summer Moon". The female mercenary vaguely remembered that a wizard said a long time ago that at the beginning and end of the month, the door that walked into the depths of the White Oak Palace
Through the 'Gate', you can pass through the "Realm of Mirrors" and go to the place you want to go.
...or go to another era, just like them now.
She subconsciously called the "Network" to see if anyone happened to pass through the other door. After Arles died and Galaria succeeded as queen, the White Oak Palace was returned to the Elna people, and more
Some wizards were guarding it together. Lily changed her perspective among them, passing through the exquisite halls and corridors, passing through the laboratory that once belonged to the White Tower wizards, and reaching the unusually wide cave in the depths.
The huge mouth on the ground has been completely opened. The starlight is like a huge funnel that goes deep inward, flashing with a breathtaking rainbow light. A dozen Elna wizards gathered here, busy transcribing data from the instruments, chanting.
Reciting incantations that she didn't understand, or looking at the 'door' with concentration.
She borrowed the sight of one of the wizards and silently stared at the endless stars. Perhaps the "Realm of Mirrors" heard her wish, the stars quickly disappeared, and the vortex turned from silver to red. Hot breath spurted out from the huge mouth, and the wizards were surprised.
They looked at each other, obviously what they saw in front of them was not what they expected——
The next second, flames shot up into the sky, making the cave look like daylight. The roar was like the roar of a giant beast, drowning out all sounds. She saw the wizards retreating one after another, hurriedly applying protection, while the whirlwind of flames shrank towards the center, converging into a
A young man with red eyes, shiny skin, and wearing a bright red cloak.
"...Hart?" Lily murmured.
Of course she remembers the 'boy' from the fire elemental world. In the mystery of Breeze Forest, it was the boy who defeated the abyss lord Fregus and avoided a larger disaster. The self-proclaimed 'Lord of Fire'
His strength is probably about the same as that of Jester Morgan, the dead Union Chairman, but his destructive power is even better.
Hart ignored the wizards surrounding him. Flashes of light exploded from his fingertips, taking him to the battlefield instantly. Lily chased after him, and the sky in her sight was dyed blood red. The wasteland seemed to be covered with a carpet of flames, and she
The huge swarm of catalyzed insects had nowhere to escape, and hundreds of thousands of them were turned into coke.
She ignored the dead insects and continued to chase the breath of fire, extending her will into a golem - they had souls from the inner world and could therefore be regarded as life. With the help of the iron golem's senses,
Lily saw Hart hanging in the air, flying like a flame. The flames were flying around him, like a child laughing and playing, full of life, but bringing endless destruction.
The young man seemed to have noticed something, and turned his face, looking at 'her' with his red pupils, with a contemptuous expression. He lazily raised a finger, and the flames got the command, and instantly engulfed 'her'. The body cast by magic turned into
The soul bound by the molten iron was also liberated. Lily blinked, and there was still Tiana in front of her, sitting calmly, as if she didn't care about what was happening in the distance.
But Lily couldn't be indifferent.
Elemental creatures have always lived in the inner world and rarely have anything to do with the main material world. Fanka and Hart once had a relationship, but Fregus's excessive extraction of the fire elemental world made the lord of flames
Arriving in the El Continent. In this way, did Fimir... and she really make a mistake?
She didn't want to think about this problem in detail, nor did she want to see Hart wreak havoc on the battlefield - neither the large group of heavy artillery golems nor the source energy golems that defeated the Fritz people were any match for that 'youngster'.
With a hint of unrealistic hope, Lily once again threw her will into the White Oak Palace, hoping to see Fimmel appear with reinforcements.
She saw the starlight disperse slightly, the silver ripples spreading outward and disappearing, making the disk dim. An ordinary-looking male young man wearing a gray coat stepped out of the door, looked left and right for a moment, and walked towards the wizard in front of her.
The female mercenary's eyes widened and she felt as if her heartbeat stopped for a beat.
"What year is it here?" She held her breath and 'heard' the other party asking slightly anxiously, "Do you know a girl with a pair of wolf ears called Lilinono...or September?"
She stood up suddenly, not even having time to create an incarnation, and used Edda's network to send her body to the underground of White Oak Palace in an instant. When the wizards saw her, they panicked and tried to cast spells, but she just snapped her fingers.
It freezes them in their current state.
Now that Al is here, there is no need to kill these people, the female mercenary thought happily. But another breath coming next to her stopped her from saying the greeting.
"I said, you are too naive, September." Tiana raised her hand, her fingertips wrapped around the cold death, "Goodbye, who made you her companion."
At this moment, Lily didn't think about anything. Ada's power became instinct, and red flames rose from her limbs, turned into curtains, and wrapped around the young man's body. That was her talent that swallowed everything - tangible or intangible,
Matter or energy...even the divine power of "death" are no exception.
Mal's power pierced her 'body', causing a burst of intense weakness and pain. At the same moment, blue flames bloomed from Tiana's chest, engulfed her, and burned into a handful of fly ash within a few seconds. The remaining blue flames
The colored light seemed to have found its owner and slowly merged into the red curtain, which relieved her weakness a little.
This is how you killed your 'father', the female mercenary thought, and it is also the reward you deserve. Maybe she is still young in Mal's eyes, but the child will always grow and learn.
She gathered the red flames and transformed back into Lily's body. Alphonse blinked at her, a joyful smile spread across his eyebrows and quickly spread to his entire face. Lily grinned, stepped forward quickly, and
Hold Alphonse's arm.
"You're finally here, idiot, do you know how long we've been waiting for you?" She felt the warmth coming from her palms, and looked at the 'old friends' who were confronting each other, Hart who was burning everything, and even the heavy injuries on his body.
Throwing it to the back of his mind, "Don't worry, no matter Mal or anyone else, don't try to take it from us——"
The words stopped abruptly.
'Alphonse' turned her body slightly and punched out with her left fist, as fast as lightning and as heavy as gold steel. A dull sound exploded from her abdomen, and the violent energy spread along her limbs and bones, destroying everything in its path.
Lily instinctively planned to fight back, but two consecutive serious injuries slowed her reaction. The opponent's elbow hit her instantly, interrupting her attempt to call "Network" and making the injury a little more serious.
The female mercenary gasped and staggered back. She guessed the identity of the other party - using bare hands as weapons and possessing such skills, it could only be Gil Windwhisper. As for how the other party disguised himself as Alphonse, and who set it up
The whole trap, but there is no time to think. Even if she becomes "Ada"'s successor, she still has no power to fight back at this moment.
Jill didn't hold back at all. The thunderous punches effectively destroyed Lily's body and at the same time grinded her will. The bones that were stronger than steel gradually shattered, and the power to repair the body gradually declined. The muscles and internal organs began to rupture, bringing about
The pain and dizziness became more intense. Her back seemed to touch the wall. She turned around and retreated, but was unable to avoid the opponent's pursuit.
Her consciousness gradually faded away, and time seemed to be stretched several times. Pictures flashed before her eyes, some of which she remembered, while others had long been forgotten. In a trance, she saw herself lying on the bed, and Fimmel Star
Ke Zheng opened the door and walked towards her——
That is a memory buried deep in the soul. Even if it falls into a coma, it still faithfully observes and records everything around it. It seems that someone told her... Those memories are usually not perceived by the person involved, unless the connection between the soul and the body becomes
Very weak - in more popular terms, on the verge of death.
"You woke me up for the second time." The voice was like thunder, rolling in her memory, "What wish do you want to fulfill?"
The young wizard in black robes sat next to her, placed the oil lamp on the bedside cabinet, and gently stroked her face.
"I will destroy Yue Yue's original beliefs and replace her with the desires hidden in her heart. She will become my loyal ally and together we will lead this continent to destruction."
"You will realize your wish." The voice became deeper and deeper, "This time, what price are you going to pay?"
Fimmel Stark leaned down and whispered softly in her ear. Lily heard clearly this time, the man only said one sentence.
"Sorry, September."
Then he turned his back, stared at the dark oil lamp, and spoke out the words in a low, soft and slow voice.
"Conquering the entire continent is just an arrogant lie, and our efforts have ended in failure. She will die at the hands of her former friends, and I...will lose her."
"Destroy your ideals, destroy your companions." The voice of the oil lamp seemed to be a little joyful, "Let me witness this tragedy with my own eyes -"
Lily suddenly understood everything. Tiana Weiss Marr did not lie to her.
The desire for power was strengthened by the oil lamp, and the wonderful scenes instilled in her in the dream made her willing to accept Fimmel as an ally. In a sense, the young wizard's approach has not changed, but this time, the sacrifice is her own
, rather than 'mother' and her hometown.
There is no problem, Lily thought. She became Ada, experienced that power, and killed Mal. Now it is just the price she deserves. She can no longer feel any pain in her body. The only pity is that it is still not confirmed.
'His' safety.
There seemed to be a call in her ears, but it was just a figment of her imagination, the female mercenary thought to herself.
