Knight with Wand

"Are all those demons in the spirit world transformed by Lorelites?" Leon was surprised.

Collectively become a demon? Are the Lorelites so crazy? ?

Laura shook her head: "Not all of them are. In the spiritual world, there are countless primitive beings born from the wisdom and thoughts of thousands of worlds, and Lorelei are not the only species that have access to the power of the spiritual world. A clan, my clansmen are just one of them, they are still different from the demons born in the primitive chaos."

Leon wrote it down silently, then continued to ask in confusion: "Why are they willing to become that kind of thing that is neither human nor ghost?"

The mage lady spread out her sleeves as a matter of course: "Immortal immortality, powerful power at your fingertips, infinite knowledge, endless happiness and desires. Whatever is good, if you go on, there will be countless worthwhile reasons.

Whether it is for ordinary people or mages, if the price is only to be transformed into an inhuman being, and you only need to indulge the emotions surging in your soul, you can hold everything that you have never been able to touch in your hands, and most people will not hesitate for a moment. . "

Speaking of this, she sighed: "In the final analysis, the price that you and I see in our eyes is not worth mentioning to the fallen compared with what will be gained."

Leon still found it unreasonable. Strength and immortality had to be put to use before it was worth it. But in the spirit world, looking at the half-corroded spirit-like field, you knew it was a hellish place.

"Even if you get all that, you can only be trapped in the spiritual world, but you can't return to reality, so what's the point?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Leon saw Laura's smile in front of him becoming a bit bitter.

"You think they're the ones trapped?"

Leon frowned and said: "Don't they now have the opportunity to come to the world only through the spirit-like field between reality and the spiritual world?"

Laura stretched out her finger and pointed at the ground.

"The perspective you're looking at is wrong. It's like this mage tower is being shrouded in a magic curtain. Do you think the people outside the tower are trapped by us inside the tower?"

Leon's eyelids gradually widened, and there was some hair on his back.

He instinctively thought that those demons were sealed in the spiritual world and could not come to this world.

But according to Laura's words, doesn't it mean that it's not the devil trapped in the spiritual world, but the world itself that is currently blocking the chaos of demons in the outside world?

Laura looked at the shock on his face and nodded.

"The spiritual world is part of the endless void, an infinite realm composed of the fire of wisdom bursting out from countless souls.

It’s not that the devil is trapped there and cannot come into this world, but that the earth under our feet temporarily uses a great power to keep things in the spiritual world away. "

"Wait a minute, you said this is only temporary, will they really come back eventually?" Leon's heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, his doomsday delusion when he learned that the dwarves had left was fulfilled.

No wonder, the elves and dwarves started to prosper early. From the books in the mage tower, we can get a glimpse of the Lorelite civilization. If this ancient mage civilization that collectively ascended to magic really returned to this world and went crazy, it would have nothing to do with the end of the world. What's the difference? Who is left alone and who doesn't run away?

Leon suddenly became nervous.

He originally thought he was traveling through "A Song of Ice and Fire", but now he was told that he was actually on the set of "The End of Time"?

"How long can this 'temporary' last? How long is the time left?" He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked seriously.

"It can last until the day when the sacred sun goes out."

"Ah? The sun goes out?" Leon was stunned.

But just in case, he still cautiously confirmed: "Um. I'm going to take the liberty to ask, Laura, because in my hometown, the sun actually has a little longevity.

I would like to ask this world, how long can the holy sun above our heads burn? "

Miss Mage thought for a while and replied: "Using the Orland calendar you are familiar with now, there are still about 9.6 billion years."

"Ahem." Leon almost choked on the air: ".I thought, okay, I'm not afraid of this anymore."

Nearly 9.6 billion years.

The local sun has nearly twice as many lifetimes as the one on Earth.

Don't tell me, this is temporary.

Laura looked at his relieved look, crossed her hands and reminded: "Are you relieved now? Don't be too happy and forget about the spirit-like field? Even if time is chaotic in the spirit world, my fallen people He won’t really have the patience to wait until the day when the Holy Sun goes out before returning to a desolate and exhausted place where everything has ceased to exist.”

After hearing this, Leon suddenly felt strange.

"But according to what you said, Laura, wouldn't those of your tribe who degenerated into demons in the spirit world have a brighter future after entering the spirit world?

Why are they holding on to the world? Since you said that the spiritual world is connected to the endless void, and there are so many stars in the sky, why do you have to come back and harm the world that once gave birth to them? "

Facing these questions, Laura's golden eyes seemed to have a somewhat gloomy look.

"Because the fallen ones did not enter the spiritual world voluntarily."

"Before this land was completely reduced to a demonic realm, two of the five Dharma Kings who had not fallen joined forces with their past allies to tear the Lorelite Kingdom and the entire land it was located from this world and throw it into the spiritual world. within the realm.

Since then, those of my tribe who were 'exiled' to the abyss of the spiritual world have been thinking about returning to this land, destroying everything that we 'betrayers' protected, and washing away the shame and hatred of those who had been expelled. Meaning. again and again.”

It was the first time that Leon saw her with such an expression, and he couldn't help but lower his voice: "Why didn't you want to tell me this before?"

Lola broke free from the past memories, raised her eyes, looked at the other person lightly, and after a long time, turned and walked towards the high steps in the hall.

Leon instinctively followed.

"Because all this has nothing to do with you, you are not the soul of this world, just like those Isulan passers-by who left on the big ark, you have the right to choose to leave." Miss Mage came to the throne and sat down slowly, looking up at the person in front of her: "The void is vast, on an astronomical scale, even if the spirit world devours the world, the terrible disaster of the devil raging among all living beings is just a flash of sand for the starry sky, and the same is true for a foreign soul like you.

Leon, I ask you again, do you want to go home? Let go of this place and return to your distant hometown."

"Didn't I say that even you can't do it?" Leon asked strangely.

Laura leaned sideways, holding her cheek, squinting and smiling: "Who knows, maybe I lied, or maybe I just can't do it now."

Leon shook his head without hesitation: "My answer is still the same. If I can't take everyone with me, then I still choose to stay here. No matter what those exiled demons want to do when they come back, I have to face it with everyone."

The white-haired girl smiled even more: "The scope of your "everyone" has expanded a bit?"

"What?" Leon didn't understand what she meant.

"At first it was just the relatives and friends around me, but now, how much does this scope include?

The children who laugh and play in Avalon? The people who work from sunrise to sunset? Or all the innocent people on this land?

Are these all everyone? Why do I feel that even if you can leave with a limited number of places, you will still choose to stay after sending your cherished people out of danger." Laura asked softly.

Leon waved his hand: "You think too highly of me. If there is an unstoppable danger, I will definitely take the people around me first and run away. I can't help those who are beyond my ability."

The wizard raised her eyebrows and did not comment.

"Really? Then why didn't you abandon Lohak? You were just a hair away from death. This doesn't seem to be something you can do."

Leon explained: "I owed him a life at the time, and I also owed Elena a favor."

Lola pointed at herself: "When I borrowed your body to pull him out of the water, you didn't owe anything. As for Elena, the 'Leon' she tried to save had already died of injuries. You are just a wandering soul occupying the body of that boy, just like me. You know it very well.

Besides, there is Olivia, why would you risk your sex? Save her with your life?"

Leon frowned, and said awkwardly: "Maybe. Maybe it was because I coveted Olivia's beauty at that time? So I was hot-blooded and took risks. "

"If it was a man who showed you kindness with the same attitude, or even an ugly and dirty beggar like Olivia who offered help, would you let him go? .What about Corvis? Are you also coveting his beauty?"

"Of course not." Leon was shocked and swore on his orientation that he would never do that.

"That's it. You don't have to risk your life in Longka. Even if you let the enemy wreak havoc outside the territory, what does it matter? The little lord is planning to use the lives of the people in the rear to delay time. What are you risking your life for? For fame or wealth?" Laura reached out and tapped his chest: "You risked your life just because you couldn't bear to see those poor people who had nothing to do with you suffer from the sword."

Leon's face was hot because of the little teacher's words: "What a compliment. Why do I sound like a saint of the Holy Sun Church in your mouth?"

Miss Mage smiled helplessly: "I don't know where your strange mentality comes from. It seems that you don't find It's like some selfish excuses to pretend that good deeds are beneficial to oneself, so that one can't feel at ease to do noble things, like a kind of self-protection that is unwilling to show weakness.

But no matter what, you don't need to hide in front of me. Our souls are close to each other, and I can always feel your sincerity and kindness. "

But when it comes to this, she thought of something: "Of course, the only difference is that you are lustful. In this regard, you are a hypocritical and prudish man~"

Leon's mouth, which was just a little proud of being praised, collapsed suddenly. He wanted to argue that it was all unreliable demon illusions, but Laura interrupted him by shaking her hand.

"Okay, you, if you act to protect the people you love in the future, remember to protect yourself. They also love you. If the people around you lose you, the pain they have to endure is the same as if you lost them. "

Listening to this advice, Leon nodded seriously: "Well, I remember it."

He stared at the mage lady and suddenly asked curiously: "What about you, Laura?"

How does this ancient king of magic see himself?

After just a few months together, would she be sad because she lost me?

The white-haired girl's golden eyes were slightly startled.

But she soon showed a gentle smile.

"Of course I love you too.

You deserve to be loved."

".!"

This straightforward answer was really a bit unexpected for Leon.

Even if he didn't think wrongly about this rich Feru word, his heart was still beating fast.

Laura noticed his nervousness and raised her eyebrows with amusement.

"Are you moved already?.~ Don't think wrongly, be careful that I will really report your fickleness to that child."

Leon shook his head in shock and clarified: "No, no, absolutely not. It's friendship, it's care. I feel honored that the teacher loves his students."

The white-haired girl curved her beautiful eyebrows: "Hmm~ It's not bad to think so. Just think that I am too lonely as an old man. I have no offspring. Seeing a good child like you come all the way with difficulty, maybe I can't help but want to pamper you."

After saying that, she waved her hand, smiled, and said in a very pleasant voice: "Come over and let me touch you~"

The first time is new, the second time is familiar.

Seeing the little teacher waving as usual, Leon had no choice but to move closer, squatted down with his knees, and obediently handed his head over.

The big and strong man was touched on the head by the little girl-like Laura in front of the throne like stroking hair. It was indeed very shameful.

Fortunately, there was no one else watching in the magician tower, so let his little aunt enjoy the addiction of being a teacher. Leon closed his eyes, anyway, it was quite comfortable.

Touching the smooth black hair, fingers gently touched the reality.

In a place Leon couldn't see, the golden pupils showed an inextricable reluctance.

The dinner time in the main castle was as lively as ever.

Aunt Milia, the head cook, was unwilling to accept the maternity leave given by Leon, even though her belly was getting bigger recently. She was still busy in the kitchen leading the cooks.

Little Lina, the head maid, also commanded the maids in a proper manner, spreading the food on the table.

The newly installed candlelight chandelier filled the hall with warm dim light.

Leon looked at Lohak with interest.

The big guy deliberately ignored his sister's rolling eyes and sat on the left side of Elena. While easing the embarrassment through his sister, he racked his brains to find something to talk to Miss Sally on the right side. He looked silly, and it was thanks to Elena's help that the conversation didn't die.

At this rate, it's unknown when it will happen. Leon shook his head and turned to look at the high-end players on the other side.

Azerian and Miss Raya sat together. The two who had already made an engagement were whispering and laughing with their arms close together. They looked like a pair of swans. Tsk tsk

Leon tightened Olivia's little hand and sighed that this boy didn't know who he learned to be so mushy from.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at the little brother next to him.

Corvis was talking seriously with Miss Milena. Listening carefully, he was answering medical questions.

This is not surprising. As a knowledgeable wizard, the boy has been imparting advanced medical knowledge to the daughter of a doctor.

With the dual knowledge of the wizard Tanelo Relit's life science and Atias's medicine, Akao is definitely one of the best medical masters in the Western Continent. He has recently begun to study the human body repair technique recorded in the magic book. It can be expected that he will help old Brian completely cure the lame leg that has been lame for many years in the near future.

But Brian was not here today. After the southern tour, the uncle took half of the army and returned to Selva for daily training.

On the other side, Treya, Martha, and Veresa were chatting with Miss Margarina, and Larian and several newly joined knights were not seen.

They recently volunteered to escort the mining exploration team sent by Earl Elliver to the dwarf mines. The letter from the feudal lord from Acherburg almost overflowed with praise and appreciation. Leon had just returned home and had not had time to pay attention to this matter. However, since Azerian and Ms. Martha were handling the cooperation with the family in mining, he was temporarily free.

Although not all the people were there, Leon still felt at ease and comfortable, holding his chin and looking at his family and friends gathered around the long table, laughing softly and having fun.

Love, even in a different world, is still a great word.

Does he love everyone?

Of course.

Leon admitted this in his heart and felt relieved.

The reason why I say it is corny is that this word in my mind has been given an overly monotonous meaning by modern times.

In fact, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If this word sounds too shameful, it is okay to replace this feeling with "benevolence", but there is indeed no word in Feru that can correspond to "benevolence" in Chinese.

Leon looked at his brother beside him and asked seriously: "Akao, do you love me?"

The conversation of several people nearby suddenly became quiet. Lohak looked over in surprise. The big man opened his mouth, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Corvis was also stunned, but he looked at the expression of his master and did not misunderstand anything. He nodded and replied: ". I respect you, even more than my life."

Leon blinked, surprised by the boy's respect for him, but he knew that he was always serious and never lied.

Corvis smiled: "Before I met you, I had nothing, but now I have everything. Loving you means loving my new life and myself now."

Feeling the other party's gratitude, Leon patted Akao's shoulder and recalled Laura's words.

Yes, why did he want to save this boy at the cost of his life?

It's not that complicated.

He just wanted to see this child with a sincere heart live well, rather than die alone in a corner where no one cares.

"What about you? Lohak? Do you love me too?" Leon smiled.

Lohak, who reacted, patted his chest and said without pretense: "Of course! Me too, I respect you like a brother. In fact, when I was in the cave, I felt that you were as reliable as a big brother, although I don't have a brother."

"It's my first time to have a brother like you who is a head taller than me." Leon said with a smile.

If I could replace the dead girl who had been fighting with me since childhood in my previous life with Lohak, I would have less worries in my childhood.

Seeing Leon's eyes turn, Azerien smiled and nodded: "You are my proud friend and my beloved brother."

"Me too, me too! Brother Leon, I love you too~!" Lina, who was sitting on the left, raised her hand and shouted excitedly. As she spoke, she looked sideways and saw that several friends at home couldn't let go, so she shouted again: "Selena and Remi are the same~!"

".Haha, good, good, I love you all too, let's eat." Leon raised his glass.

It feels good to be loved by so many people, and my heart is warm.

"What about me? Why don't you ask me?" Olivia came over dissatisfied and pinched her lover's palm.

"Do you still need to ask?"

Leon touched her forehead affectionately.

I don't know how long it took, he opened his eyes in confusion.

In front of him was an unusually high dome and familiar and gorgeous relief columns.

And the fuzzy white mist that always surrounded him.

He withdrew his gaze from the endless haze and lowered his head, only to find that under his feet was a staircase corridor that seemed to be suspended in the middle of the mountain.

When did he come here? The feeling of déjà vu made him turn around and look at the end of the stairs.

The huge and solemn throne still stood there silently

I should go there. I must go there.

I must go faster.

He stepped forward with his tired legs, even though it was so far away.

". Can you still feel it?"

The voice was very familiar, very familiar.

He moved his dry lips and tried to answer, but found it so difficult, as if he could not feel any water and blood in his throat.

". Of course"

Just a simple response almost exhausted all his strength, and his feet inevitably lost strength and fell on the stairs. He found that his legs turned into ashes.

He felt no pain, and had to continue to hold on to the steps in front of him with his hands, so as not to fall down the high stairs.

He couldn't stand up, but he could still climb up.

".Like the sun?"

The sun?

He raised his head, but everything was so white that he couldn't see clearly.

If it was like the sun, it would be too cruel to just watch it fairly.

Darkness fell before his eyes.
