Chapter 156 Decadent Adriana
The city of Butuo has undergone tremendous changes.
The swaying red-gold leaves of the World Tree have gradually become a familiar landscape for the residents here, and the petrified Adeline metal has been observed by many people - many people are a little scared, thinking that one day they will become a member of this so-called heaven on earth... It's quite terrifying.
At the beginning, people were quite worried about where this city should go and what will happen from the administrative planning...
Later, everyone found that no matter how the people above argue, life still has to go on, right? Simply, except for those nobles and businessmen, no one cares to which side Butuo City belongs.
There are many groups of people in this city now.
Alchemists, magicians, elves, dwarves, ethnic minorities... In a sense, it can be called an "international metropolis."
Under such circumstances, the city itself is also full of hidden talents——
"Please give me another cup of lava heart."
The woman put out a gold coin and ordered some drinks. She looked a little drunk, but no one would underestimate this woman. On the first day she came to this tavern, someone saw her drunk and wanted to "help" her. She easily lifted him up with magic and threw him out.
Although he didn't die, he almost fell down.
People then knew that this was not someone who could be easily provoked. The other party was in this tavern, perhaps waiting, or tasting something.
However, the opinions of others were not important to Adriana at all.
She lost.
Losing was a matter of course. She had been prepared for it. She had made such a plan with the mentality of dying if she failed. In the end, even if she failed, she should die in her own glory and in splendor.
It should be a happy thing to die in Dora's hands.
But it didn't happen.
Doro didn't kill her, and Adriana knew very well that if she didn't die in Doro's hands, what Doro said would stand. As long as the Demon King agreed to this result, the Sage King would not object to this demerit. In fact, she had seen her wanted order two days ago.
As a matter of course, the position of the president of the Magician Association was deprived. There were many related crimes, betraying humanity, killing the Thunder Emperor, and communicating with the devil. Recently, when she was drinking, she often heard people discussing related things. She knew clearly that she was at the core of public opinion. She knew clearly that she had been abandoned.
But this was actually not something she cared about.
She was just thinking, what was Doro thinking in his heart when he faced these things?
If she was sad, she was not very sad, although she felt very embarrassed when people pointed at her behind her back. But it was just embarrassment. She knew that other people couldn't recognize her identity, and Doro should have been the same at the time.
So she didn't quite understand. She
didn't quite understand Doro's feelings.
Even if she imitated Doro and got drunk, it was not difficult for her to sober up from the alcohol, and her actions after drinking were not impulsive. What did Doro want to get from the so-called alcohol at that time?
She didn't want to admit this fact, but she had to admit that even if she and Doro did the same thing, they couldn't really empathize with each other. She couldn't understand Doro's pain, nor could she understand Doro's resistance and choice. She felt a little bad - maybe she should be angry about the fact that she was wanted and betrayed by the human empire.
But she didn't care. It was useless to pretend to care about things that she didn't care about. She had tried hard, but she still couldn't empathize with Doro.
How, how could she really understand that person's thoughts?
Did she need to be more painful?
But how could she make herself feel painful?
The bar suddenly became agitated. Adriana looked in the direction of the commotion with sleepy eyes and saw a familiar figure. Soon, there was a bouncing sound. When Adriana's eyes refocused, she finally realized who the other person was.
"Adeline? How dare you show up in this city!"
Adeline clapped her hands. The tavern had become quite messy. "Adriana, do you think I want to come? It was Xia Di who was looking for you, but you haven't responded to her. She won't leave the tower now, so she had to let me come to find you. Do you think I still want to come here?"
When Adriana heard the name Xia Di, she immediately lowered her head again and fell asleep on the table. She didn't like the name Xia Di. It's better to say that she actually hated it.
Adeline came to the table where she was and poured herself a glass of wine: "You know what? The one you drink is called Lava Heart, a drink made with red honeydew melon, and mine is called Red Surprise, a drink made with roses. I loved drinking it when I came here before."
Adriana didn't look up, she seemed to be really drunk.
"My plan was completely shattered in this city." Adeline didn't seem to care whether Adriana was awake or not. She said to herself, "I have been wondering why the devil stopped me, why Godora stopped me? Obviously my idea is so great, obviously as long as my plan succeeds, then mankind will enter a new era, everyone is equal - such a great thing, why must it be stopped?"
Adriana didn't react.
"Because I have no credibility to begin with. How can a guy like me who would stab my own leader in the back and do such a sinister and cunning thing... have the nerve to tell others that she can create a world where everyone is equal? It would be ridiculous for anyone to imagine it. It's just the villain bragging."
She sipped her wine with self-mockery: "Sometimes I also wonder, if Star Tears really falls at that time, will I regret my decision? What if one day, I really succeed and become the most powerful being in the world, and the alchemical dolls also dominate the world, allowing all life to begin to approach eternity - am I really not afraid of such a scene?"
"We want to prove something, Adriana. We want to prove that our choice was not wrong. Xia Di wants to prove that she is more mature, cold-blooded, and more like an adult than Godora, so she will make a calm and beneficial choice. She told Godora that she would marry the wise king and rule the world together. As a result, Godora immediately said that he could do the same with the devil. Xia Di was anxious at the time. Then he beat him up and he is much more sober now."
Adeline's tone was a little sad, but Adriana raised her head and looked at her in confusion.
"I am the same. I can't wait to prove that I am more correct than him, I am greater than him, my thoughts, my will - I want to prove that I didn't make the wrong choice... But in fact, we were very wrong, right? It's just..."
She and Adriana met eyes: "Whether it is the original choice or the current choice, these are just to cover up our ugly hearts, Adriana, we want to cover up our fear of him." "
Yes, fear.
The hero A. Godora was a man who always smiled gently and made everyone feel at ease.
They had experienced so many things together, and they should have fought together, and finally defeated the Demon King with everyone's strength and wrote a good story!
But it was different.
Unlike the world's perception, only by really going deep into the existence of that battle can you know that in the final battle, whether it was the Demon King or the hero, how bright the smiles on their faces were, how excited they were, how terrifying their power was... It was completely different.
It was completely different from the A. Godora I knew. At
that time, the hero A. Godora integrated into the Demon King's domain and fought fiercely with the Demon King in that Demon King's world, but the final result was that Dora won.
He defeated the Demon King, but there was no smile on his face.
At least, when the girls came to congratulate him happily, Dora's eyes and expression were dim and lonely, although he soon realized this, and then showed a formulaic smile and celebrated the defeat of the Demon King with everyone.
But the girls saw this expression. They saw Dora more clearly than anyone else. They knew Dora better than anyone else.
So the girls saw this expression and they felt deeply terrified.
For a while, when Dora was staring at the girls, they always felt like they were being stared at by the devil. This feeling was terrible. The girls were very worried that Dora would become the same thing as the devil, the same creature.
They were too afraid of this happening.
"At this point, there is only one way to go, Adriana. We have lost everything. For us who have lost everything, we only have the option of making the best of a bad situation. Here is a plan that requires your strength. If you are willing to help... This is a desperate plan."
"The Second Hero Plan... What a ridiculous plan. They can't beat the original, but they think the replica can beat it? Aren't they naive enough to think that this can kill them?"
"Anyway, this is a feasible plan... It's up to you whether you want to participate or not. This is the last chance we can seize,"
