Chapter 394: Her Ghost Boyfriend (20)
The Philosopher's Stone originated from underground. The magic turmoil of that year caused a strong earthquake, killing countless people, and also caused chaos among the monsters in the Silent Forest. Later, the hero sacrificed himself to make everything return to peace.
Even though twenty years have passed, there are still many people who are still reminiscing about the prosperous magic era. There are many people who want to go back to the past. It is said that the king has been sending people to find a new Philosopher's Stone to restore the glory of the empire.
Now the people of the empire are divided into two factions.
One faction believes that they should not think about the Philosopher's Stone again, or there may be another magic turmoil.
The other faction believes that they should find a new Philosopher's Stone by all means, only in this way can they return to their most prosperous period.
The two groups have been arguing for twenty years without any result, and the atmosphere outside is getting more and more tense. Perhaps if the Philosopher's Stone is not found, the empire will split and go to war.
Even with the lessons learned from the past, humans still like to repeat their mistakes. The so-called "learning from history" is often just to prove that it is difficult for humans to learn lessons.
Bai Yao glanced at the sky, "It's getting dark, Miss Su, if you don't go back, the way out will be difficult."
Su Xixi came to her senses, she knocked on her broom, and the black stone on it lit up. She sat on it and waved to Bai Yao, "Miss Bai, it's nice to meet you. If there is a chance, let's have tea together again!"
Before Su Xixi finished her words, the broom flew out of her control.
Even though she had experienced this kind of fright many times, she couldn't help but shout out this time, "Slow down, slow down!"
The out-of-control broom didn't listen to her at all and flew to the edge of the woods. When she could see the lights of the town, the broom suddenly lost power and fell straight down.
Su Xixi fell again, but this time it was different from the feeling of falling on the grass. The thing under her was softer. She touched it casually and actually touched soft hair.
Su Xixi raised her head in a hurry and happened to meet a pair of beast eyes.
It was another black-haired woman!
The injured griffon let out a terrible breath, and the cruelty revealed in the beast eyes seemed to want to eat the human who fell on him.
As the night fell, the children in the forest could not wait to sit in a circle around Anna.
Bai Yao, who had just finished her meal, also pulled Prince out to join in the fun.
Compared to the enthusiastic Bai Yao, Prince was not interested. He leaned on Bai Yao, holding her hand and pulling it gently.
"Yaoyao, let's go back and play, okay?"
Bai Yao looked at him, "What to play?"
The little flower beside her ear said, "We can go to the bed, I am willing to be played with by you."
Is that "play"?
Bai Yao looked around with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, only she could hear his voice. If his words were heard by the children, she would definitely feel guilty for corrupting these innocent children!
Bai Yao whispered: "Prince, there is no such thing as a bad land, but there are bad cows. You need to rest properly." Prince
tilted his head. He found it difficult to understand what Bai Yao said.
Anna stood on the stone. The bustling children were quiet in an instant. She was very satisfied with the situation. She cleared her throat and said: "Continuing from last time, this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess and her group experienced another danger, and they finally arrived at the tower where the treasures were stored..."
The white tower was towering and soaring into the clouds. The building was carved with mysterious patterns. It was more like a place of sacrifice than a place to imprison the princess.
They were finally about to complete their mission.
Sophia felt that victory was in sight, and she felt relieved. Her tone was also much more cheerful, "Gerald, Her Royal Highness the Princess is inside!"
Hejin was originally relatively calm among the few people, but now he became anxious, "Gerald, as long as you defeat the dragon and rescue the princess, we can go back!"
They encountered too many dangers along the way, and too many people died. Now Sophia and Hejin both had new injuries. They even felt a little regretful that they should not have taken on this mission. Of course, life is more important than the desires in their hearts.
Gerald looked up at the white tower that seemed to have no top in sight. His purpose in entering the Silent Forest was to defeat the dragon and save the princess. His kind heart even kept telling him to move faster. The longer the princess was imprisoned, the more she would suffer.
But when it really came to this, he was not as impatient as before to rush up to save people.
Gerald stood still, and his silence made Sofia and Hegin feel inexplicable and bad.
Anna said, "If we enter the tower, there will definitely be a fierce battle. Don't you want to take a break and get yourself together?"
Sofia ignored the little girl and said, "The princess is being tortured by the dragon in there. We can't delay any longer."
Hejin echoed Sofia's words, "So many people in the empire have placed their hopes on Gerald. They regard Gerald as the savior. Gerald will not let them down."
Gerald lowered his eyes. The words "hope" and "disappointment" now seemed to him like two mountains, pressing him down and making him breathless.
As long as he could remember, everyone around him told him that he should be a good person that everyone would admire.
He is an orphan, without parents or relatives. He was raised by everyone in the town. He has always been grateful to everyone in the town.
When the people in the church announced that he was a hero, he felt scared and confused, but everyone came to congratulate him and everyone looked forward to him.
The mayor said: "Gerald, I knew you must be a promising child!"
The neighbor aunt said: "It is such an honor to be a hero and save the princess!"
The friend who grew up with him said: "Great, Gerald, you are our savior, I know you will never let us down!"
...
Too many chaotic voices constantly impacted his mind.
"Prince, you don't need to consider so many people."
"The person you love most should be yourself."
"It doesn't matter even if you become a coward."
