The announcement echoed in the cabin of the [Ice Crystal] submarine: "Attention everyone, we will pass through the Istanbul Strait in ten minutes. The river there is very narrow, and it is the only way to enter the Black Sea and land in the Romani territory. It is expected that
Was ambushed there."
After hearing this, Elaine, a young white bear man, tightly grasped the arm of Constantine beside him, as if seeking comfort: "I, we will be fine, right, right?"
"The people on this ship are all very capable, and we will be fine." Constantine responded, but there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Ordinary combat operations may not be able to shake this young man's courage. But this is the deep sea, the silent, cold and dark deep sea.
If something goes wrong, they may be directly crushed into pulp by more than ten tons of water pressure, and buried at the bottom of the sea to become food for fish and shrimps------thinking of this, no matter how brave Constantine is, he can't help but tremble.
After all, he is just a teenager.
"Anyway, anyhow, let's go to the control room first." Constantine stood up and urged. He thought that staying with other people would make him less afraid.
"I, I can't walk. My legs..."
The white bear man's legs were shaking with fear.
Constantine couldn't help but feel worried for a while: "You're not so timid, are you? Get up quickly! I can't carry you as big as you!"
The white bear man tried hard to stand up, but failed several times. His feet were as soft as sponges, shaking feebly and unable to support the weight of his body at all.
"Yes, I'm sorry. You can go to the control room by yourself. I'll stay, stay here." Elaine looked frustrated. This dark cabin was obviously not the best choice for escape, but he had no other choice.
"Then I won't go either. I'll stay with you here." Constantine agreed in a low voice.
"You, you don't need..."
"It doesn't matter, we are a family." Constantine sat down again and leaned next to the white bear boy, "Dad doesn't seem to like you very much, but hey, you will be fine, everything will be fine. We
Just correct your timid shortcomings..."
"That... that's probably no, impossible..." The White Bear Man lowered his head and sighed, and stayed close to Constantine, "The scary things... are always scary.
of."
He has been growing up in the fox people's research institute since he was a child. That hell-like place destroyed all the confidence and courage in the heart of the white bear boy.
[A person without courage]. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, even in the eyes of Kador, the knight of Gaia who adopted Elaine and Constantine, Elaine is such a loser. The White Bear people have long been accustomed to others looking at themselves.
That look full of contempt.
Constantine's eyes were filled with pure pity. This also made Elaine feel uncomfortable.
The White Bear boy has tried countless times to muster up the courage to change other people's opinions of him, but has failed. At critical moments, his legs will still shake with fear, and he is still a useless loser.
This is his fate: once swallowed by darkness, he is no longer qualified to embrace the light.
Even if he can escape the darkness temporarily, one day the darkness will catch up with him again and swallow up everything about him.
Just when Elaine curled up and wanted to cry softly, the hatch opened with a swish.
A bright light shot in from outside the door, and then a figure said: "What are you still doing here? Go to the control room to gather."
"Hmm...?" The white bear man squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly who the figure was against the light outside the door.
The tall figure with a metallic luster all over his body is the dragon-man demon Bors.
"Elaine is shaking and can't walk. I have to stay here with him." Constantine explained.
"Is that so?" Boles walked into the cabin and stretched out a hand to the white bear man: "Come on, kid, let's go."
"Mr. Boles..." The White Bear Man was still a little hesitant.
The dragon-man golem didn't say anything, but quietly stared at the white bear boy Elaine.
The silver eyes of the golem are full of some kind of emotion. It's not pity or contempt, it's pure...
[care].
Elaine stared at the other person's eyes for a long, long time. He didn't know where this kind of care came from. No one in the world would care about a stranger for no reason. This made the White Bear man very confused and at a loss.
.
"You can't stand up like this? Do you want me to hug you?" Seeing Elaine in a daze, Burles asked more.
"I...I can..." White Bear Man blushed and reached out to grab Boles' hand.
The big metal hand was very strong and strong, like a steel support, supporting the white bear Elaine to stand up smoothly.
------My legs are shaking and still sore.
However, there seemed to be endless power coming from Bors's hand, and this power made the trembling White Bear Man feel a little better. It was obviously an inorganic metal arm, but it was warmer and more elastic than an ordinary person's hand. This was
What a strange feeling.
It was the hand of a relative who seemed familiar, yet strange, and had never met before. Touching this metal arm, the young white bear man seemed to notice something.
"You are not weak." Boles whispered, "You just experienced more than others and started to be afraid of the darkness of this world."
Elaine said nothing and tried hard to suppress the tears in her eyes.
Boles continued: "But one day, you will learn not to be afraid of the darkness of this world and to fight it to the end."
Elaine wiped her eyes.
"Before that, I will lend you a hand and help you go on." Boles said, "Now------can you go?"
"Uh... um..." The white bear boy wiped his tears vigorously, cried quietly, and walked out with the help of Bors. He only tried to suppress his crying, but
I forgot about the fact that my legs were shaking.
Constantine, who was full of doubts, also followed. The dragon-golem Bors seemed to have unusual concern for the white bear Elaine. Where did this concern come from? Constantine couldn't figure it out. He and
Behind the two of them, looking at the backs of the two people, I could vaguely feel that they had some similarities.
Also watching all this, Archmage Merlin, who was watching Boles' actions from a distance in the corridor of the ship, had a flash of worry on his face: Papalov's influence was indeed reflected in the dragon-man demon Boles.
Already.
Moreover, this influence became more and more serious, and Boles' personality began to overlap with that of Papalov.
------[Undead from the past]? I just hope that this undead from the past won't cause problems to the plan.
The master key to the World Wall is stored in Bors' body. Once things go wrong, the consequences will be devastating.
