Along the border, the resistance forces, from various races, were busy at work. At this time, racial hatred could be put aside, and eliminating the enemy was the most important thing.
Maggie was a genuine human, and the checkpoint staff simply checked her before letting her in easily.
As for the two cubs, they weren't examined at all. They might have been mistaken for Maggie's children, or perhaps they felt there was nothing to examine about cubs.
In addition, in order to conceal their identities, they dyed their hair black, so naturally no one discovered that they were Fire Spirits and instead mistook them for human children.
As for whether it could be an undead?
Absolutely impossible. If an undead were to try to cross the boundary line, the magic circles monitoring this area would issue a warning.
"They're in."
Maggie calmly turned her head and looked at the two brothers.
Just as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the magic flashing in Rifia's hand.
"..."
She knew it; these two brats were ridiculously wary and were planning to kill her at any moment.
Her previous obedience was all an act.
"Don't even think about it. You can't kill me. Just stay here quietly. I won't hurt you, and I won't let anyone else hurt you."
Maggie bluntly exposed their intentions; she was too lazy to beat around the bush with the children—it was too boring.
Upon hearing Maggie's words, Rafia and Weaveria were both stunned. By then, Maggie had already walked forward on her own, no longer paying attention to them or insisting on taking care of them.
What you beg for is not what you get in a deal.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, but still gave chase.
For the next period of time, Maggie began her daily life taking care of the children. However, she only taught them magic every day; the rest of their daily life, such as eating and washing clothes, was left to them to do themselves.
Maggie simply found a place to stay.
The Gemini's gaze towards her was no longer wary, but rather held a hint of intimacy.
However, aside from teaching them magic every day, Maggie spent the rest of her time researching how to leave this second illusion. Even though the little ones were pitiful, she couldn't stay there for long.
besides.....
During one of the undead attacks, Maggie saw a dragon on the battlefield outside, a dragon that looked a lot like Oris. According to the timeline, he should indeed be fighting off the undead right now.
Unexpectedly, the place where the twins appeared happened to be the place that Oris was guarding.
It should be a while before he obtains godhood and becomes a force to be reckoned with.
Maggie only glanced at it from afar and didn't go closer to look, since it was pointless anyway, and this wasn't reality.
Finally, just as Maggie was trying to escape the illusion, the two arrogant little brats approached her.
"Thank you."
Two identical handsome young men bowed deeply to her, one on each side, expressing their gratitude as they did so.
It's indescribably pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention, they are much cleaner and less disheveled than when they were homeless, which makes them look much better.
"It's nothing, I..."
Just as Maggie was about to refuse, she heard Raffia speak.
“We…we were taken in by a nobleman before, but he did it for the sake of his reputation and also because he coveted the mithril in our chests. However, we were too young and the mithril was of poor quality. He wanted to raise us for a while before killing us.”
That's why we're so wary of you.
Rifia was talking about one of the Gemini Gods' most painful memories, and just mentioning it made her younger brother feel lingering fear.
"Now we know you didn't mean to harm us, and... you even want to leave, right?"
When he finished speaking, there was a barely perceptible tension on his face, as if he was very worried about getting a positive answer.
Maggie paused, feeling inexplicably guilty. It was a little embarrassing that they had noticed her attempt to leave the illusion.
"I didn't intend to leave."
Maggie sighed, but still didn't admit it.
"...It's okay, we know we're a burden, but...we really want to stay by your side."
Raphia and Weavera became very depressed. After saying this, they lowered their heads deeply, not daring to look Maggie in the eye.
Maggie, however, seemed somewhat dazed as she watched this scene.
A scene that seems familiar.
When they first met the human forms of the God of Fire, Spit and Spiel, in reality, they said the same thing to her, begging her to let them stay by her side.
Although they may have ulterior motives, they do indeed... look very similar.
"good."
Maggie heard herself reply.
The twins looked up in surprise, their faces beaming with joy, but the illusion shattered once more in the next second.
When she came to her senses, she found herself back at the entrance to the misty valley.
The two gods standing before her had become the twin gods, not the cubs.
Maggie stiffly withdrew her hand and looked up at the Twin Gods, but she didn't expect their gazes to be even more complicated, as if... they also knew what had happened in the illusion.
"you....."
The adult twin gods were taller and more threatening than their juvenile counterparts. However, Rifia, who had been wary of her just moments before, now spoke to her with slight hesitation.
"..."
Maggie remained silent; her indiscriminate sympathy only led to unnecessary concern for the cubs.
If these two brothers find out, then... things will get complicated.
Successful people don't like others discussing their past; it's their dark history. But she saw it all, even their vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and past embarrassing moments.
She was even involved in their most unbearable memories, so it's not impossible that the Twin Gods killed her to silence her.
Maggie is going crazy. She won't die, but what will happen next?
Her mind raced with countless possibilities, but to her surprise, Raphia paused slightly and thanked her.
Thank you.
The younger brother, Weaver, standing to the side, had a subtle expression on his face. He pursed his lips and thanked Maggie as well.
Thank you.
Maggie was immediately filled with questions. She opened her mouth, about to ask them why they were thanking her, but then she realized that the thick fog in the valley had dissipated at some point, and the path in the middle of the valley was clearly visible, making it easy to see the exit.
"Okay, we can go out now."
Seeing the surprise on Maggie's face, Rafia responded lightly and walked forward with her younger brother, leaving Maggie standing there with a strange feeling.
But she couldn't stay inside someone else's consciousness space; what would that look like?
She took a couple of steps and followed him out of the valley.
The moment the thick fog dissipated, Maggie understood something more or less. In other words, the illusion she had entered was actually the pain they had experienced, which needed to be healed.
She acted as a healer, appearing when they needed help the most.
Even if it's just an illusion, it remains their obsession.
