Chapter 1 The Eve of Departure

"If we could do it over again, would we still be at this point? My sister."

Even though several years have passed, in Xiure's memory, the image of that girl not only has not faded, but has become increasingly clear.

What keeps me from forgetting you?Shure always asked himself this.

The pink and smooth little face when you were young, the little face that makes people want to take a bite every time?
The coquettish sound when she snuggled up against his legs when she was young, wrapping her around him and carrying her out to play?

The pout when being scolded by yourself for not paying attention to reading?

The pride that blooms on his face every time he holds his arm and says that my brother is the best and I will definitely marry him in the future?

When he joined the ranks of the top warriors, he stood behind him gently, but his eyes became brighter and brighter because of pride?

Become the head of the family with your own support, make a commitment to always trust each other, and always look solemnly when relying on each other?
is that all?Or was the small crack growing bigger and bigger under the nourishment of jealousy, and finally broke the tear that fell from the corner of her eye when she turned to leave on the night when they met each other?
No, it's none of these.Presumably, because of remorse, why can't you trust me more?Why can't I trust you more?In that way, can't we live happily together forever?
"I really want to do it all over again, but unfortunately, there is no turning back in life, not to mention that we are no longer in the same world. I hope that in the future, in a world without me, you can realize the dream that I shattered with my own hands and lead Let’s get the family to the top.”

"Goodbye, dear sister."

"Brother, brother, you are so annoying. Why are you distracted again? You can still be distracted while chatting with such a cute sister. The goddess will punish you. Prepare to bear the wrath of Dark Moon." The girl's childish voice interrupted. Xiure's memories, "Well, the divine punishment is too severe. How about I pray to the goddess and ask her to be gentler? No, even if it is gentler, the power of the gods is not something that mortals can compete with. My brother will definitely not be able to bear it. , what should we do, brother."

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't let me bear the wrath of Lady Dark Moon?" The silly annoyance made Xiure laugh and shake his head. He retracted his thoughts from the memories and looked at the girl in front of him, or rather, her image.

Her long blond hair was curled behind her, her blue eyes were as clear as lake water, a few light freckles on her fair face made her look a little more naughty, and her ivory-white teeth gently bit the bright Red lips and light eyebrows furrowed together, as if they were still bothered by the problem just now.

It was she, this 13-year-old girl, who brought her frustrated self into this world.

Yes, four years ago, he was seriously injured because he saved her from being killed by her teammates in that inexplicable alien projection. It was precisely in order to send her back that he traveled through the alien projection. The body and soul were on the verge of being broken during the barrier. Of course, it was precisely because of her that he was rescued by the Dark Moon Goddess. From the world where he only relied on strength and skills to fight, he came to this world full of fighting spirit, magic, divine arts and A strange world of special energy, become a member of the priesthood.

But it was also because of her that I had the motivation to get back on my feet.The church is on the verge of extinction, its finances are in poverty and embarrassment, there are few remaining believers, the goddess is close to eternal sleep, and the gods are watching, and the church is watching for benefits. If you don't cheer up, as the only remaining saint of the Dark Moon Goddess, As a professional, can this weak girl really carry this heavy burden?

Xiu'er didn't know the answer, and he didn't want to know. After four years of being together day and night, the two of them had already regarded each other as their only relatives. Xiu'er couldn't bear to let the little girl bear everything alone.

What's more, Shuer doesn't need to know the answer. He only knows that this child named Lisa must be the most precious treasure given to him by fate and an opportunity for him to make up for his past mistakes.

If we could do it all over again, would we still be here?Definitely not. I made mistakes, swallowed the bitter pill, and grew up. This time, everything will be different.

You think so too, sister.

"That's enough for you, bastard brother, how many times do you have to be distracted before you are satisfied?" In the image, the girl's face was bulging, and her eyes seemed to be spitting out fire. "Have you ever taken my sister seriously? .”

The girl Lisa's angry expression made Xiuer want to reach out and touch her head, but unfortunately, what she saw was just a video, and the girl herself was thousands of kilometers away.

This is the priest's unique magical mirror art. Only two high-level priests of the same god can use the magic to communicate over long distances through the mirror.

The magic level is very high, the release process is also very cumbersome, and the success rate is not high. Most small churches have little chance to use it. Even the veteran clergy in large churches who have served the gods all their lives can only use it in emergencies. Only then was he willing to use it to connect with other temples in the church.If they knew that there were two people talking about irrelevant nonsense every day, they would probably be angry and cry.

But it’s not surprising, one is the Dark Moon’s patron who is deeply favored by the gods, and the other is a battle priest whose body and soul have been repaired by divine power, and has obtained a divine affinity physique. pressure.As for consumption?For Xiu Er, the releaser, no amount of consumption could be more unacceptable than seeing Lisa's haggard face when she couldn't sleep all night because she didn't receive the communication, but she didn't dare to contact her proactively.Obviously not.

"Of course I didn't take it seriously." Seeing Lisa's eyes widening in surprise, Shuer said with a smile, "Sister, I just keep it in mind."

"Brother is the most annoying." The girl's face turned red, and she turned her head away with a snort, not looking at the hateful smile on Xiure's face.However, after being alone and shy for a moment, the girl suddenly said quietly, "Actually, my brother is distracted because he is afraid, right?" "Afraid?" Xiuer's muscles suddenly stiffened, and he immediately returned to his smile and sneered disdainfully, "Stop joking, you Brother was in that world back then..."

"You can't hide it from me, brother, and every time you are told what you mean, you always change the subject like this. It's so clumsy." The girl's serious expression made Xiure's smile unsustainable, "Tomorrow, Brother is about to take your friends into the projection world for adventure. We all know how dangerous the projection world is. You may not encounter the safer projection world like the one you met your brother ten thousand times. Once, most of them are in crisis, the survival rate of all personnel is less than [-]%, and everyone who goes in may never come out again.”

"I know that my brother is afraid of death. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that after he dies, he will leave me alone in the world. He is worried that I will lose my only support."

Xiure fell silent and looked at the strange girl quietly.

"Of course, brother must go. In order to support the temple, to revive the church, and for the goddess, my brother has his own overall plan, and adventure is a necessary part. I understand all these." mature, the red circles of the eyes reflect the firmness in the eyes, there is an indescribable beauty, "I won't say nonsense like don't go, because my brother taught me that when people live in this world, they have to bear burdens. Take your own responsibility, only the humblest and weakest will evade responsibility."

"My brother has his responsibilities, and I have my responsibilities, so I won't stop him from taking risks."

"But I hope my brother will remember that my sister is still waiting for you to come back alive. If my brother really dies inside, I, I..."

"Don't worry, I will live a better and happier life, work harder to shoulder my brother's responsibility, and strive to regain the glory of the goddess."

"I will not cry for my brother's death. I will try my best to find happiness, marry and have children, and even forget about my brother so that my brother can feel at ease."

"So, brother, in order to prevent my sister from forgetting you, you must come back alive."

"Huh, Lisa has grown up." Shuer looked at his sister in the image with a straight face and said nothing. After being silent for a long time, he slowly smiled, nodded happily, and suddenly blinked narrowly. , said in a weird voice, "When I grow up, I want to get married and have children. Wow, it's really..."

"Brother bastard!!" The girl's voice at least doubled. If it hadn't been thousands of kilometers away, she would have jumped over and bit Xiuer on the face. She gritted her teeth and glared at Xiuer for a long time, her face flushed. Sha suddenly laughed and said angrily, "Go and play with those friends of yours. Those idiots who put their lives in your hands are as stupid as you. Hum, I'm very busy, don't disturb me these days. , wait until you come out alive before contacting me, otherwise you will delay my meditation, be careful of the goddess punishing you."

"Okay, okay, I see." Looking at the angry and laughing girl with a smile, Xiuer suddenly said softly, "Don't worry, I will come back alive, because I have not only a group of idiots who gave their lives to me , there is also a sister who does not admit that she is waiting for me to come back, even if I crawl, I will crawl back."

"Humph." The girl turned her head away angrily, but there was a sweet smile on her lips.

"A bunch of idiots who put their lives in my hands." He put away the mirror and turned around, and the scene behind him came into Shuer's eyes.

A spacious tavern, with a bonfire burning in the middle of the fire pit, the aroma of food spreading everywhere, and the townspeople and mercenaries coming and going mingling together, making the tavern full of noise.

In a corner of the tavern, a female human swordsman was sitting in a corner, shyly covering her face with a book, but secretly peeping out with her two shining eyes. The half-human-wide giant sword with both hands was like a kitten, crawling on her feet docilely. Side; the elf mage's fingertips danced with lightning, changing various graphics, exuding an aura of indifference and alienation, but the corners of his mouth under the hood curled up with a warm arc.

The beautiful black-haired forest elf who was half human and half deer took off the leaves on her armor and blew the melody of the forest to her lips. The hot necromancer commanded two summoned skeletons and beat the drums with their skulls and ribs. Echoing the music of Lin Jing.

The halfling was lying on the table, lazily building blocks with a stack of small silver coins, and with a pair of small shiny eyes, it was patrolling the purses around everyone's waists. The burly dwarf stepped on the table and raised his hand With the ale in his hand, he shouted dwarf songs that no one could understand.

"They are indeed a bunch of idiots." Shuer pursed his lips and smiled, walked over quickly, picked up a glass of ale, and asked loudly, "Friends, I will take you all to death tomorrow, are you afraid?"

"Afraid, of course I'm afraid." Although everyone has different reactions, the loudest one is always the bold dwarf, "Afraid of making less money, hahahaha."

The shy female swordsman poked out half of her face from behind the book, and said softly: "We believe in you, if you want to lead everyone to die, then go to die."

"Hahaha." With tears hidden in Xiu Er's smile, he raised his glass and shouted, "Okay, let's drink for trust."

"cheers!"
