Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 823 A Reunion Beyond Fate

The body seemed to have been hollowed out.

This was not an hallucination in another sense, but the clearest feeling Lauren had when she woke up.

——The dead remains of the "beast" that originally resided in his body no longer existed at this time.

"Um... where is it?"

The memory is a little confusing. Lauren still remembers that he fought with the phantom created by the Sword of Realm, but was defeated without any resistance at all. The memory after that completely disappeared.

However, after opening his eyes, he found himself in a dark and dilapidated room.This place is very much like a temporary shelter, and I don't know who sent my unconscious self here.

"The communication...can't be connected?"

The terminal implanted in the wrist seemed to have been damaged in the previous battle. Although he would not get any help even if he contacted the academy, this situation was too tragic.

The strength he relied on had disappeared, and Laurent gently moved his empty body, trying to regain some strength.However, except for a faint trace of blue fire remaining in the body, it seemed that there was really nothing left.

At this time, if there is...

"Excuse me... Oh sir, you finally woke up."

The door to the room was suddenly opened, and a slightly petite figure walked into the room with brisk steps.Although she looked like a girl in her teens, the strange mask on her face covered most of her face.

"I found you lying on the roadside before, so I moved you here. Almost everyone who escaped from the city is here, so it's very safe."

"No, um...can I say something first?"

However, after seeing the girl, the expression on Lauren's face became quite strange.He rolled his eyes while barely supporting his body and stood up. Then he sighed deeply as if he had no choice but to say the next sentence.

"...Can you please stop being as foolish as Huang Hua?"

"Tsk, tsk, I thought you liked this unfolding."

From the beginning, it was not like the girl was trying to hide her identity. After being discovered, she simply took off her crude disguise.The silver-gray eyes and the subtle and sly smile were the same as before, as if he had returned to those ordinary and turbulent days.

"Although it hasn't been a long time since we last seen each other, but..."

At this moment, the girl temporarily gave up all plans and calculations, and just wanted to vent the suppressed emotions in her heart, and eagerly threw herself into the arms of the person she missed.

"...I always miss you very much."

"I know."

Lauren, who vowed never to let go this time, did not avoid or resist.The two people who have not seen each other for a long time can finally embrace each other peacefully here. Even if they have to be separated temporarily later, as long as they have such memories, they will be able to move on.

"Um... I'm sorry, I can't leave everything to you like Huang Hua for the time being."

"I'm probably not the kind of person who would mind this kind of thing."

"Heh, maybe as long as you ask forcefully, I will reluctantly agree?"

But Laurent would not do such a thing, because he had always known how strong the will of the girl he was hugging was.Even if she is tortured almost crazy by longing, she will never give up on what she wants to do.

And now, I actually want to support her in realizing her wish.

"Well, that's good. I've replenished enough energy... So Mr. Loren, it's time for us to get down to business."

"You're not talking about a fight, right?"

Although Lauren felt that such an outrageous development would not happen, he still couldn't help but joke.He couldn't use any strength at all now. If he really wanted to fight, he would be ridden underneath him soon.

"No, but before we start discussing, I have to make an oath to you first."

The girl left Lauren's arms and slowly took two steps back.Laurent also straightened his posture and showed a serious expression.

"On my name, Ophelia Saifal, I will not tell you all the truth, but everything I say is true."

This is a kind of "oath" that is almost a curse. If it is violated, her power will be greatly weakened, and even her existence itself will be shaken.

"I accept."

It was as if an invisible connection appeared between the two, entwining their souls.This one-sided oath can only be broken with Lauren's consent, and it has no restrictions on him.

"Okay, that's no problem. After all, I have to do this to hide from the Golden City. In this way, I won't leak anything even when dear Mr. Lauren pins me down on the bed. ."

"Ahem...what is my image in your mind?"

"That's the end of the strange talk, my dear."

The girl immediately put away her teasing expression, and Laurent also moved his body a little, confirming his abnormal state again.The powerful final power is now gone, and only the connection established with Huang Hua still remains.

"The three dead beast bones in your body have been taken away by the sword of realm."

"I've probably guessed it, so what's going on with that sword now? It would be a bit outrageous to say that it was me in the past, right?"

The memories created by the Realm Sword based on its own records should not theoretically be stronger than the original version, but the phantom of the hero that Lauren saw before had the power to completely crush him.

"Because it also collects a lot of my fantasies about you... After all, I have been using it for the past 1000 years."

"This is so...sorry."

Because she let go of her hand at that time, the girl would exaggerate her memories countless times in the millennium of yearning.And the magic sword that divided the realm naturally got that unreal memory.

"The problem now is that we have no way to fight it. Even if we collect all the fragments of the Final Beast, we can't do it."

"Does the Golden Capital know about this?"

"It is precisely because of its appearance that I can break my contract with the Golden City."

The girl showed her usual sly smile, and Laurent probably guessed her plan.She is probably the only human being in this world who can calculate the Golden Capital.

"The Golden Capital now spends most of its resources on restricting the actions of the Realm Sword. After all, they belong to the same origin and are existences of similar levels. Although I have reached some kind of agreement with the Golden Capital before, it is now I can no longer be tracked accurately.”

If not, Lauren and she would not have the chance to reunite.The original destiny has already undergone some deviation, and what happens next is probably beyond the control of even the Golden Capital.

"About your missing memories and the 'truth' hidden in the Golden City, you can only find the answers by yourself. If I reveal any relevant information, the coercive force of the contract will take effect again."

That's why she made a "pledge" to Laurent that she would never reveal any flaws no matter what.

"So what should we do now? There should be no problem with such guidance, right?"

"Of course, then Mr. Laurent, please go out with me first. You need to confirm an important 'fact' first."
