Chapter 206: Why Hold the Sword? Have you ever opened your eyes and seen the world...
The towering spire and the stars in the sky turned into sharp blades falling down.
“Boom!”
Several giant ten-clawed reptiles slid to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
A little girl looked down at the blood on her hands with her eyes wide open in disbelief. She looked up and said, "M-Ms. Maggie?"
The giant ten-clawed reptile's claws pierced Madam Maggie's chest, and blood gushed out.
She released her hands that were pushing the little girl away. Because it was too horrifying, she stretched out her hands to cover the wound, but unfortunately she couldn't. Her usually serious face wrinkled in pain.
Nerys ran over: "Madam Maggie!"
She looked around in panic. Chris ran over and opened the box. Nerys hurriedly took out the herbal powder from it and applied it to Madam Maggie's wound with trembling hands.
Her hand was loosely held by the middle-aged woman.
"Don't waste it." Maggie spoke in a low voice. Just a few words caused her entire chest to ache violently and it was difficult to breathe. This was a fatal injury.
Medicines are already in short supply in Sansonta, and Clover hasn't come back yet. If she or the children get hurt, there will be a lot of places that need medicines.
She collapsed weakly. Nerys and Chris reached out their hands anxiously, but a shadow was faster than them.
The man supported Maggie, breathing rapidly.
There was moisture on Maggie's face. She looked up and saw the little fat boy.
The two looked at each other. The little fat boy's tense spirit was not sure whether it was because he felt relieved when he saw her, or because he saw the monsters were shot and killed with his own eyes. Now he was in a safe situation for a while. He cried out, but it was an apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I came too late, I'm sorry, Madam Maggie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The oppressive atmosphere since the attack on Samsonta was finally replaced by the children's quiet sobs. They gathered around and looked at the woman who had been taking care of them, crying.
Nerys' eyes reddened, she pursed her lips, and picked up the herbs anyway. A bunch of keys jingled and appeared in front of her. She paused and looked up in disbelief.
Madam Maggie's chest kept rising and falling. Every time she moved, the blood gushed out twice as much. She spoke intermittently: "Sansonta... from now on... I will leave it to you."
Nerys is a rule-abiding child who knows every rule of Sansongta. She is just like her, a person without "difference".
She is careful and tolerant, but also timid and cautious, and will do dangerous things for her friends.
This is not a disadvantage.
She possesses enough good qualities that she doesn't need to worry about whether she can do the job as the next administrator.
"No..." Nairis refused subconsciously, with a crying voice.
Madam Maggie didn't care about her refusal. She knew that Nerys just couldn't accept her sudden departure for the time being: "If you don't understand... ask... Clover."
If Clover were still alive.
"In the office, you can...study." Maggie's breath was taken away and her pupils gradually blurred.
The sound of children crying filled her ears, and she tried her best to look at the faces of every child she could see.
The crying above her was louder than that of the other children. The smell of blood stuck to her nose. She felt helpless: "Little... Fatty, you... did... very well."
The little fat boy needed encouragement. She always knew that he followed the bearded man outside the tower to grill fish because the bearded man praised him for grilling the fish well.
It was not possible for her to predict every time he tried to leave the tower, but she was just deliberately guiding him.
Her eyes fell on the little girl she had rescued, who was trying hard to suppress her cries.
She knew that if she didn't say something, the little girl would live with the guilt she felt towards her.
With every breath, only a little air squeezed in at the end. Maggie felt the loss of her voice. Her last words were soft: "It's not... your... fault. I... am willing to... grow up... well..."
Her voice became lower and lower, until she could no longer hear even the children's voices.
And... fennel...
In fact, it doesn’t matter if we can’t save St. Fagus Island. Such a big thing should not fall on the shoulders of a child.
Returning to Sangsongta, everyone sat together and left in the embrace of home, which was also a happy thing.
All the children... all the children...
None of them can be missing.
Her eyelids finally closed uncontrollably.
It's dark.
She saw him, her husband, her beloved, still as young and gentle as she remembered him.
She did not leave with him, but lived to this day and has no regrets about anything she did in Samsonta.
Every day you are away, I promise you to live a good life.
So, are you here to pick me up, my love?
The serious woman smiled happily at the end of time.
The sky was broken into pieces, colorful and scattered.
Outside the tower, the sky was shimmering with the sound of children crying. I don’t know who called out the first “Mom”.
The silver ring on the woman's finger flashed.
The children's cries echoed from Samson Tower and fell into the ears of the young man who was too weak to wield a sword.
One leg could no longer support him standing, so he half-crouched and leaned against the long sword stuck in the ground, his hand still holding the hilt.
He was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and the blood blocked his breathing.
He tried his best to open his blood-stained eyes and looked up.
It seemed as if the sky was raining jewels, which fell into his distracted eyes.
Xiaoxuan...successful...
Realizing this, he relaxed all over, blood dripping and forming a small pool of blood.
There were too many holes in his body, and he felt cold. He could no longer feel the initial pain, and the pain had become numb.
The only thing I could feel was a little breathing.
His breath became hot, burning his throat.
I don’t know what she was thinking about, but the red-haired man smiled weakly, yet as pure as a child.
He used up his last bit of strength and leaned his head on the hilt of his sword. He knew that there was the code of chivalry engraved for him by his teacher.
He could finally say it now at the end of his short life.
I did it, teacher.
You will also be proud of me in the arms of the goddess, right?
Even if the exiled knight drifted elsewhere, he did not abandon his principles.
He lowered his head and smiled, he never forgot.
Why hold a sword?
For life.
To protect.
The corpses of the monsters piled up into a mountain, and a broken sword was soaked in a pool of blood. The owner of the sword had no regrets.
The fragments on the horizon are light and colorless, but colorful. They merge into the Island of Saint Fagus. The sky is truly bottomless, and the azure blue falls into the dark pupils.
My head is empty, my eyes are empty, everything around me is empty, everything is empty...
Vifiya's eyes suddenly flashed, and her whole body swayed weakly. As long as she didn't move deliberately, the severe pain in her body could be ignored.
Jiang... Sui... An...
As if savoring the memory, she repeated it over and over again.
Jiang Suian.
Jiang Suian.
Jiang Suian.
I am Jiang Suian.
My name is Jiang Suian.
…
Thinking about what stupid thing she was doing, she couldn't help but force a laugh, and her head felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
Fortunately, [Vifiya] fell asleep temporarily, otherwise if she knew, she would probably laugh at her.
[Vifiya] Ah, [Vifiya], she lowered her head, the pain in her neck drilling into her heart, she ignored it, her eyes were dull, as if in a dream.
She seemed scared.
She was afraid that when she returned, [Vefiya] would still not be able to respond to her.
Tears fell drop by drop on her face, but her eyes were calm. Why was she crying?
She didn't understand, why was she crying?
What's there to cry about?
The warmth on my cheeks continued.
[Vefiya] is back, she should be happy.
She found a name, she should be happy.
She remembered her family's faces, and she should be happy.
She was waiting, waiting for the true arrival of the world's rules, waiting to pay the price, waiting to deceive the rules.
She should be happy.
She did everything she wanted to do and everything she temporarily added to the plan.
So why is she crying?
She doesn't understand.
The voice of someone in the distance was faintly heard. Vifiya seemed to be deliberately trying to feel pain. She turned her head and her eyes swept across inch by inch, hurting every nerve in her body.
She suddenly felt a little strange.
Even though the pain was still there, it still felt foreign to her.
The collapsed bell tower, the broken tree, the sticky green liquid that turned into ordinary water, the wet ground...
Make her a stranger.
The sky was azure in her peripheral vision. She was clearly under the blue sky and clearly standing on the ground, but for some reason, even the touch of her feet didn't feel real.
She listened carefully to the various voices of people in the distance through the ringing sounds in her ears.
They were cheering, jumping for joy, regretting that the fire died out so quickly, and praying for the next chance to atone for their sins...
She couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity, as if they were acting, mechanically doing the actions and words they should do at that moment.
Because St. Fagus Island is safe, they should smile and be thankful...
After they finish one scene, they move on to the next.
Knowing no fatigue, no time, just like a puppet.
She knew very well in her heart that even though this was not her world, even though she had come to the past through abnormal means, this place was reality for others.
The strange feeling still cannot be dispelled.
It was as if she was looking at tiny people trapped in a small screen, and everything had nothing to do with her.
The tears on her face gradually stopped, and Vifiya kept breathing in and out. The burning sensation in her chest was accompanied by a tearing pain that seemed to tear the back of her head apart.
She still felt strange.
It seems... soon.
She tried her best to dig out what she was going to do next in her mind that didn't want to think anymore.
She was to take his place.
A trace of world rules hidden in Saint Fagus Island will briefly transfer his fate to her before completely merging with other world rules.
His fate, her price, she knew very well what the outcome would be.
She was ready, and when she made the decision, she was ready for everything, including her determination.
She wanted him to live.
She wanted to see him in the future too, she couldn't deny it, no matter what the reason was.
The sudden dizziness made Vifiya's already shaky body lose strength.
The golden rune on her right wrist instantly glowed, and the wooden handle of the mulberry tree in her left hand instantly turned into a long sword and penetrated into the ground, supporting her falling body.
The sudden movement seemed to shatter my body, and it hurt so much that I couldn't breathe. Blurry black shadows appeared in front of my eyes.
A hint of doubt flashed across his lifeless eyes. Why? Why did even the pain become unfamiliar, as if it wasn't in his own body?
She suddenly realized that she felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.
An invisible, ancient, huge balance was silently gathering weights, but its support was a sharp sword. Due to the uneven weights on both sides, the tray sometimes moved up and down.
It hovered above Vifiya's head.
Destiny is connected, it's done.
