Chapter 261 Death
In the huge crystal ball, Lulton's eyes were closed, and from time to time, a faint blood color could be seen through his skin.
Lu Yi watched closely from the side, watching Lulton frown, watching Hicks sweat, and watching the green crystal ball emit a halo of light that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
The crystal ball blocked the sound inside the ball. Lu Yi couldn't hear Lulton's voice, but he could see the pain from the blood on his bitten lips.
Lulton's blue fish tail appeared as a gray-blue dim mist, and his lower limbs kept switching back and forth between the fish tail and human legs.
As the switching took longer and longer, the human legs that occasionally appeared became more and more transparent. Correspondingly, the color of Lulton's fish tail became more solid and bright.
Even though Lu Yi was just a bystander, he realized that this was an extremely dangerous magic array. Perhaps its complexity and danger level could even be compared to the previous abyss sealing magic array.
Lu Yi waited anxiously.
I don't know how long it was before Hicks finally decided to stop.
Hicks coughed lightly, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and suddenly withdrew his hand, and the crystal ball in front of him shattered.
On the base of the eggshell-shaped fragment, Lulton slowly opened his eyes, and there was a gleam of light in his blue eyes.
Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Lulton, how do you feel now?"
Lulton smiled brightly in response, "Great, it has never been better than it is now...It seems that my choice was right."
Hicks also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that if something happened to Luton, His Highness Lu Yi would directly overturn the entire reef.
Lu Yi turned to Hicks and asked, "Is there anything else I need to do here?"
"No, everything has been properly handled. What remains is for His Highness Lulton to adapt himself."
Lu Yi nodded, "Then it's time for me to go back to New Victory."
This trip was much smoother than he had imagined. Less than half of the seven days Lu Yi had originally planned had passed.
Lulton immediately swam in front of them, grabbed Lu Yi with one hand, looked at Hicks and said, "Elder Hicks, is there any way for me to return to land for a while? At most... at most one month! After a month, I will return to the reef to start adapting!"
"Lulton..."
Lu Yi was about to cast a disapproving look when he suddenly remembered Victor V who was in danger.
Lulton probably wanted to accompany Wendel Victor on his final journey.
Lu Yi couldn't say anything to stop him, but looked at Hicks with the same hope.
Elder Hicks was still muttering nonsense at first, but when he saw Lu Yi looking at him, he fell silent.
"Are you serious? This is just nonsense!"
Lu Yi only said: "He has reasons to go back. Elder Hicks, just tell me if there is any solution."
Under Lu Yi's scorching gaze, Hicks felt great pressure. He pondered for a while, clapped his hands and said, "There really is a way."
"Don't you humans have the story of the little mermaid? Although there are no witches in the reef, there is a magic circle that can temporarily replace the legs!"
Lulton had a strange expression on his face. "Do I have to trade my vocal cords for my legs, too?"
"Well, it doesn't have to be the vocal cords. It can be flexible. Vision, hearing, smell, taste, it's all fine."
Lulton said without hesitation: "Then I choose smell."
"That's easy... Well, let me think about what else I want to tell you. While the fish tail is turning into human legs, every step you take will feel like you are walking on the tip of a knife - this should be very painful, so you have to bear with it. You will lose your sense of smell, and you must return to the reef in time after 30 days, otherwise your other senses will gradually disappear, and by that time, you won't be able to come back..."
-
New Victory Capital.
Lena woke up with a start and accidentally knocked over the pile of government documents on the desk.
The nightmare of Wendel's death was still lingering in her mind, and Lena couldn't help but gasp for breath.
"Your Highness—"
The maid came forward at the right time, with a cup of warm water on the tray that was just right for drinking.
Lianna's lips were dry and chapped, but she was in no mood to drink water at this moment. She waved away the maid who served her water, stood up and whispered to another maid to put on a thick cloak for her.
The palace was brightly lit at midnight, but also a little cold and silent.
Lena walked into the adjacent bedroom alone.
In order to allow Wendel to have a good rest, there was no light in the bedroom, only a little bit of faint moonlight shining through the glass window.
In the dim light, Lena saw someone sitting on the spacious bed.
Lena opened her eyes wide and ran to the bed.
"Wendel... Wendel! You're awake! You're finally awake!"
Lena cried with joy, but she was afraid of hurting Wendel like breaking an extremely fragile vase, so she shrank back and dared not go forward. She just stopped by their bed with restraint.
Wendell's cheeks were pale, but his lips were unusually red.
He stretched out his hand and smiled at her, "What's wrong, Lena...Did I sleep for a long time?"
Lena held up his hand, which was so thin that only skin and bones remained, and placed it against her cheek. She tried to hold back her tears and said, "It's been too long, Wendel. You clearly promised me before that you wouldn't let me wait any longer."
The pale and thin palms and the red cheeks formed the most vivid and terrifying contrast. Wendel moved his fingertips lightly and gently touched Lena's soft face with his fingertips.
Lena Klein, his queen, his lover.
How much he wanted to continue walking through the new victorious spring, summer, autumn and winter with her, but he no longer had the chance.
Wendell took off the emerald ring in his hand and gently put it on Lena's hand.
Wendel had never thought about his own death in the past - after all, he was so young and a very talented magician, but fate never forgave anyone for birth, aging, sickness and death.
During the days of coma, he did not completely lose consciousness and could more or less vaguely perceive the situation in the outside world.
As the coma lasted longer, Wendel knew that he was on the countdown to death.
When he finally woke up, he thought he would collapse, but he was unexpectedly so calm. He handled the funeral affairs in front of his loved ones very calmly. Everything was in order.
Wendell held Lena's hand and whispered, "Everything inside is yours. You can distribute it to Lulton and Lu Yi however you want...including the throne."
Lena looked at Wendel with tears in her eyes.
"In the ring space, there is a suicide note written by me. There are two versions. The heir to the throne can be Lulton or Lu Yi.
"I believe that whoever inherits the new Victory will take good care of you. But if you are still wronged, then...then go back to the reef, Lena, it will always be your home."
"Wendel..." Lena shook her head, "New Victory is also my home. Wherever you are, I will be there."
"Don't you remember? When you took me with you, you promised me that I would go wherever you go, your country would be my country, and your God would be my God①..."
Wendell smiled.
This smile should have been handsome, but it looked a little scary because of his thin and sunken face.
"Lena, Lena..." He repeated, "After I die, will you have a new lover? Will you always remember me? The life of a mermaid is so long..."
"A mermaid will only have one partner in her entire life. Wende, you are my only partner. I will never have a new lover..."
"Really……"
Wendell's voice trailed off.
"Really, I never lied to you, not once, did I?"
Lena said in a crying voice, but this time she didn't get any response.
"Wendell..."
Victor V closed his eyes forever.
