Chapter 220 If I could do it again (Part 1)
If I were to ask Saint Xia Di if she regretted what she had done.
She would probably answer, "No, I never regretted it. Everything I did was out of my justice. Even if the result was not what I wanted, if I could do it again, I would still do it and I would do it better."
But, what if she really had to do it again?
When the power of the goddess was forcibly poured into her body by Moher, and when the vast will of the goddess swallowed up her will, her body would not break because she had been close to God, at least not in a short time, but she knew that her soul would definitely be broken by the will of the goddess.
Even if the goddess was dead, the evil spirit could not affect her. The remaining will of the dead goddess alone was enough to swallow up everything she had.
If, if it succeeded, who would Xia Di be standing there?
In the vast glory, she saw the real God for the first time.
Even though it was just the remnant of will, even though it might just be some obsession, memory, or the last unwillingness of the goddess - it was just that this emotion was probably different from the reason for the birth of the evil spirit. What she felt was Yulia's expectation...
The evil spirit did not lie!
Everyone would think that the words the evil spirit said to Dora were used to deceive people, especially since the evil spirit brought them here and sealed them with the power of blessing, and asked Dora to make a choice. Naturally, everyone thought that the words of the evil spirit were absolutely a lie.
But...
it was true.
She felt it.
At the moment of death, the goddess, in addition to the hatred and curse for the life she created, also had an expectation for A. Godora.
She heard the remnant of the goddess' will.
"My hero! My destined hero! Save me..."
Such a voice kept echoing in Xia Di's will. She really felt the goddess's expectation for the hero A. Godora. She knew that A. Godora would definitely come, but...
but...
if, if A. Godora had defeated the Demon King...
...
Xia Di suddenly opened her eyes and looked around her. The hero A. Godora showed a hearty smile: "Xia Di actually fell asleep, which is really surprising. Although the Demon King has been defeated now, it is not Xia Di's style to relax too much. I know that you are tired of dealing with various things... However, His Holiness the Pope said that as a saint, you have many activities that need you to host, so you can only relax for two hours. We have to go back."
Xia Di nodded as if she remembered something: "Sorry, Godora, after all, there are too many things to deal with in the defeat of the Demon King. I think it will be much better after this period of time. I can also step down from the position of the Saint by then."
"Ah? Resign? Is that a good thing?"
Xia Di smiled gently: "What's wrong with that? I have completed the mission given to me by the great God. I have guided you, and we have destroyed the devil. The world will enter a period of peace, and the world will prosper like never before... I can't stay in the position of a saint forever, right? We must always give other young children some opportunities. You know, many girls have a dream of becoming a saint."
The smile on her face became more and more intense, and she held A. Godora's hand: "After all, every girl hopes to meet a brave man like A. Godora, but... you belong to me."
"Xati..."
A. Godora was a little at a loss. He didn't expect Xia Di to suddenly say such words.
However, Xia Di looked at him affectionately: "What's wrong, Godora, are you surprised? Could it be that you failed to feel my feelings during the past journey?"
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes: "This is my problem. I failed to show my feelings to you, but now, maybe it's not too late... Godora, can you tell me how you feel about me?"
"Xia Di, this... I..."
"Don't worry, Godora, I know that you may be at a loss when I tell you such a thing suddenly. The Demon King has been defeated. We have a long time and the future is long. You can consider this matter now, or you can wait for some time and then consider it slowly, but don't let me wait too long~ Waiting is a very painful thing."
She stood up, the holy light flowed on her body, brushing off the dust on her body: "That short laziness ends here! I have to go back to work! I really don't want to face those jobs! If someone can accompany me, I might be very motivated."
"Shadi... Sorry, Adeline and I agreed to go to the sea to help her find the disappeared dragons and see if we can get some dragon materials as alchemical materials. This may take some time, maybe one or two months. After all, the sea is very vast."
Shadi pouted: "Hey~ Adeline~ What a cunning child, you actually use such a reason as an excuse to monopolize you? Well... Forget it, she is still young, you must not attack her~"
"Why would I attack Adeline?"
"You can attack me~"
"Shadi!"
"Haha~"
With a happy laugh, Shadi said goodbye to A. Godola.
The time at this moment is so happy and so pleasant.
This is not the happiest time.
When A. Godola and Adeline returned from the sea, Shadi had almost finished her official business, and she officially resigned from the position of saint.
She even withdrew from the church.
"Shadi! What are you doing!" Many people came to persuade Shadi, and some even said that this was a betrayal of God.
But Xia Di was determined. She just stood beside A. Godola: "Godola, now that I have left the church, I am just an ordinary girl. I don't have the power I had before. Will you despise me?"
"How could I despise you? But Xia Di, that's what you have been fighting for for so many years."
The smile on Xia Di's face was very gentle: "My struggle is to find the purpose of my life. When I met you, my life finally stepped into the trajectory it should have. I followed the guidance of the goddess and lit the way forward for you. When I completed my mission, I can finally embrace my own life. A. Godora, being by your side is the meaning of my existence. Apart from you, I don't need anything else."
A. Godola was moved.
He was actually very confused recently. After defeating the Demon King, he could not help but feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness. He always recalled the battle with the Demon King, the things he felt in that battle, the sense of fulfillment he felt - at first he felt very relaxed, as if a big stone had been removed, and the world would enter peace. He had a very strong sense of accomplishment, but when he saw that other people were busy, he saw Adeline taking over the Alchemist Association, Adriana taking over the Magician Guild, seeing Yin Nifede taking over the Curse Master Alliance, and seeing Xia Di busy at work.
He was confused.
He was thinking, when a hero whose mission is to defeat the Demon King, after really defeating the Demon King, what kind of life should the hero live?
He accepted all the requests from girls during this period, and it was also to think about this problem - he was already very strong, he was stronger than the Demon King, he defeated the Demon King - so, what does the Demon King who has been in such a powerful position for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, think? How did he spend his life?
He didn't know.
But now, looking at Xia Di's sincere expression, the emptiness in his heart was gradually filled by something: "Xia Di, maybe we..."
He grabbed Xia Di's hand and then interlocked their fingers.
"Maybe, we should walk the path we walked on again, how about it? See if the places we visited have become happier and more beautiful?"
The brave man made such a suggestion.
Xia Di just smiled and replied: "Wherever you go, there I will go."
The brave man said goodbye to the wise king: "From now on, there will be no more brave men in the world... Unless you fail to keep the body of the Demon King well and let the Demon King resurrect. At that time, send someone to find me!"
These words that were obviously teasing made the wise king show a helpless expression: "You... Do I look so unreliable? But Godora, Xia Di, are you two really going to leave? It was not easy to defeat the Demon King. How about staying in the capital? Even if you do nothing and just enjoy yourself..."
Xia Di smiled and said, "I don't want to. Too many women in the capital are eyeing Godora. I want to run away with him! Hide my identity! In order to prevent someone from always eyeing Godora!"
"You..." The wise king was a little amused, "Xadi, I didn't expect you to be the first to act. Don't the other girls have any objections?"
Xia Di snorted coldly: "Love is war! The first to take action will win! When they ask you, just say you don't know!"
"I didn't know it at first..."
It was like this. The former hero A. Godora and the former saint Shadi left the capital and disappeared.
There are even rumors that the hero was exhausted in the battle with the devil. He left because his life had come to an end. The hero didn't want the world to know this news, so he left silently. Of course, many people also know that this is not the case.
For example, the members of the former hero team.
"Shadi! You are crazy!"
In a village, Adriana found Shadi who was cooking.
"Long time no see, Adriana, how come you have time to come to us today?" Xia Di scooped a ladle of soup with a wooden spoon and took a sip. "It tastes good, I'm very satisfied... How about having a meal here today? Godora is now using the alias Doro and is hunting outside. Do you remember this village? We defeated a powerful demon here."
Adriana looked at Xia Di. The girl calmly arranged the dishes, looking like a good wife and mother: "Xia Di, didn't we discuss the matter between the brave man and the demon king? Now the demon king is dead, but he is more powerful than the demon king... He has become the biggest imbalance."
Xia Di had a smile on her face: "Well... We did discuss this topic, but that was when Godora had just killed the demon king, right? At that time, we were all a little shocked by the power of the demon king and Godora, so we were not very stable in our hearts, so we had those thoughts. Do you still have those thoughts now?"
"Xia Di! The reason I embarked on this journey in the first place was..."
"Balance adjustment, right?"
Xia Di clearly had no power at all, but her aura was stronger than that of Adriana, who was known as a sage: "Regardless of whether you have the power to adjust the balance... Adriana, you are not jealous of me, so you come here to say these words, wanting to separate Godola and me, so that you can do it? What a despicable villain, but I will deal with you well~"
Adriana opened her mouth. She didn't know how to talk to Xia Di at the moment. It was different - this was not right.
Xia Di was A. Godola's guide. She should have at least a little pride in A. Godola, but now she looked like... like she had lost something.
"Shadi! I'm back!"
The man came in carrying a wild boar. "Ah? Adriana is here too? I was wondering why I was the only one to hunt a wild boar. It turns out that the goddess knew that I had guests coming today, so she let me meet her."
He smiled and said, "Adriana, what can I do for you?"
Shadi looked at the wild boar. "You have to take care of it, Godora. However, Adriana must have come here because she missed us! Don't look at her like this. She is actually quite afraid of loneliness."
Godora took a kitchen knife and started to deal with the wild boar. The smell of blood began to fill the room.
Adriana frowned and used magic to clean it.
"Shadi..."
Shadi smiled: "Thank you for your great help, Adriana. You know, I don't have divine power now. I used to use divine power to eliminate these smells... and Godora is not good at this. It's difficult to deal with."
This person used to be unable to accept this bloody situation and this strong fishy smell, but now she...
"I, I still have something to do."
"Don't be anxious, Adriana, you're here, why leave so soon... It's not like the Magicians' Guild will stop functioning when you're not here. How about taking a vacation? Mr. Godora, do you want to let the guests run away?"
"Adriana, don't go! At least have a meal first!"
It was like an ordinary couple trying to retain their guests.
"...Okay, I'll have a meal before I leave."
