Ark Simulator, is this your photo?

Li Xia reached out and rubbed Liz's head.

The latter squinted his eyes, showing a cat-like smile, and gently rubbed against his palm.

Just seeing the smile on Liz's face, Li Xia felt it was worth it.

"Can I lean in your arms?" Liz whispered, Li Xia was seriously injured just now, and she also used Originium skills a few times. The journey was bumpy for more than two hours, and she is a little tired now .

"of course can."

"you are so kind to me."

Liz rested her head on Li Xia's chest, and what she heard was her strong heartbeat.

"I thought... I was going to die there."

"It's over, it's all over." Li Xia put her hand on Liz's smooth blond hair, and patted her on the back, "With me here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Yeah." Liz squinted her eyes and answered, and soon she slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep in the boy's arms.

【You and Nightingale stayed in the birch forest for about an hour and a half, during which time she took a nap in your arms. 】

【You can feel her dependence on you. 】

【When Nightingale wakes up, you carry her on your back and move on. 】

[You started to use the Originium skills as little as possible to avoid the continued deterioration of the ore disease. 】

[Although in many cases, you will still have to use your Originium skills. 】

[You walked forward for another hour. 】

[You found a village. 】

[However, due to your experience of encountering Ursas' troublemakers, you didn't rush into this village, but waited for a young man in the village to come out, and you stopped him. 】

【You noticed that when the young man saw you and Nightingale, his eyes obviously changed. Although he thought he was covering it up well, he didn't escape your sharp eyes. 】

【You were friendly at first, but suddenly put on a gloomy expression, and took out a Sarkaz saber, which startled the young man. You took this opportunity to ask some questions,】

【The young man was completely frightened by your appearance, and he answered your question honestly. 】

【From this, you learned that after you and Nightingale escaped from the mine prison, the Absolution Master really wanted you. 】

[You asked him about Kazdel's map. 】

[Unfortunately, he does not have a map of Kazdel, but you still learned where you are currently from him. 】

[Here is already some distance away from the core territory, but it is still within the sphere of influence that Tracys can radiate. You have found a road that you think is most suitable, through the valley, and over Valandon Lake, you can leave Kazdel. 】

【You knock the young man unconscious and throw him at the entrance of the village, and move on. 】

【That night, you and Nightingale had to sleep in the wild - because you didn't trust the villagers in that village to keep secrets. 】

【You built a stone house, you wanted to sleep separately from Nightingale, but she didn't want to leave you half a step no matter what. 】

【You sleep on the same stone bed, even when you sleep, she keeps grabbing your clothes and refuses to let go. 】

[On the second day, you move on. 】

[You once again encountered a village on the road. Although the people in this village seem to be very kind, you know that human nature cannot stand the test. 】

[You don't know if these villagers will betray you because of the huge money promised by the absolution master. 】

【You would rather sleep on a cold stone bed. 】

[On the third day, you found a birch forest again and plan to stay here tonight. 】

【You used your Originium skill again to create a stone house. 】

【You see Nightingale showing a happy smile, and you are also very happy. 】

【You have agreed that if you walk out of Kazdale, you will go on a trip together to see the rolling snow-capped mountains of Kjerag, to see the doves of the cathedral covered with doves, to see the Obsidian Music Festival at Kiesta...]

【You think, if you just walk out of Kazdel like this, maybe it's not bad. 】

Chapter 67 The Shining, would you choose the Absolution or the Nightingale?

[On the fourth day, you woke up before dawn. 】

[You feel the cold touch from your neck, you open your eyes and look, and you see a woman in a uniform with a black hood and a white horn on her head. 】

【Her long sword is resting on your neck, looking at you coldly. 】

"...the pardoner?"

Li Xia raised his head, looking at the white-haired woman opposite him.

She didn't do it immediately, but woke him up, obviously she had a question to ask him.

Li Xia turned her head and glanced at Liz, who was still sleeping beside her, pouted her lips towards the outside of the stone house, and said in a low voice: "Don't wake her up, she fell asleep after a lot of trouble, let's go out and talk."

The white-haired woman didn't speak.

She put away the long sword, and then stared at Li Xia without blinking.

"I'm not up to any tricks."

Li Xia smiled wryly and raised his hands, indicating that he would not resist.

This one is... The Shining.

She was the one who would have rescued Nightingale from the abyss.

The pardoner who caught up was none other than Shining, who was most likely to let them go.

Today may be his lucky day.

Li Xia slowly got up from the stone bed, and followed Shining out of the stone house.

Then, he saw that outside the stone house, there was also a sorcerer who was also wearing the attire of an absolutionist.

When the other party saw Shining Ling holding Li Xia out with him, a look of obvious joy appeared on his face.

"Shining, you succeeded!"

"It's not in vain that I used Originium skills to pursue the smell of this defector all the way! I knew that this defector could not be your opponent!"

"Is that girl still alive? Take her away, and the defector will be killed on the spot. Don't give him a chance to cast a spell!"

Before Li Xia could react, he found that a cold long sword was placed on his neck again.

But the white-haired woman didn't act immediately, but looked into Li Xia's eyes with her brown eyes, and asked, "Why...betrayal?"

Seeing that Shining still didn't make a move, the absolutist's tone was obviously a little anxious, and he shouted: "Shining! Do it! This defector is full of tricks, you can't trust his words!"

"To shut up!"

The white-haired woman looked coldly from the side. She had just come down from the frontline battlefield, and she was full of evil spirits. She said in a cold voice: "When it's time to do something, I will naturally do it. But it's not your turn to order me!"

Seeing Shining Ling's attitude, Li Xia suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Shining frowned, looking at the boy in front of her.

"I laugh at you for being cheated for so long."

"...I was cheated?" The white-haired woman held the long sword slightly with her right hand, and the icy edge of the sword drew a streak of blood on Li Xia's slender neck, "What do you know?"

Li Xia asked the other party: "Have you ever been to that prison?"

"Prison?" Shining frowned, and then his eyes suddenly became sharper, as if he still had some disbelief, "You are lying! You stole the core secrets from the mobile city and defected to the organization!"

"It seems you haven't seen that prison."

Li Xia said in an unusually calm tone: "A prison built from a mine, you fed Dr. Sarkaz medicine, used Originium toxin... to destroy their bodies and minds, and then imprisoned them in One by one, let them heal your soldiers every day and night."

"This is impossible!"

Shining Ling's tone became inexplicably agitated, her pupils narrowed, and she stared fixedly at Li Xia's face, as if she wanted to see from his face whether he was lying or not.

"How can a doctor controlled by drugs treat a soldier?"

"Because they did not rely on medical theories and knowledge to treat the soldiers."

Li Xia laughed, he laughed ironically, as if mocking the cruelty of the Sarkaz people to their compatriots, "There is never a shortage of displaced refugees on this land, your fighters only need to capture these refugees back, and then give They inject Originium toxins and infect them with ore disease."

"The Sarkaz people themselves have natural origin stone adaptability, and the probability of voluntarily awakening the origin stone skills after being infected with the ore disease is quite high."

"Those who have awakened healing-type Originium skills will be caught and imprisoned by you, and will heal your soldiers day and night."

"Because it's Originium technology, so you don't need to learn theoretical knowledge, and you don't have to worry about being lazy. You can also take this opportunity to study Originium technology. This is the project that your absolution masters are best at—"

"What do you think, as a medical institution, the absolutists have such advanced knowledge and theories in this area, and where did they get this knowledge and theories from?"

In Shining Ling's pupils that gradually widened, she saw a mocking smile appear on Li Xia's face.

"—That's right... You should have guessed it, right? It was bought by stepping on the bones and flesh of countless compatriots. This is the Forgiveness Master. This is... the truth you want to know."

"The Shining!"

The absolutist magician not far away roared: "Do you want to believe the words of a defector! He is deceiving you!"

Li Xia was not in a hurry, he continued to say:

"If you still don't want to believe it, then you can go in and see Liz, look at her paralyzed legs... Do you think, if I am a defector who stole secrets, why should I bring a leg that can't move, A girl who has been paralyzed?"

Shining Ling's right hand holding the long sword trembled twice.

In her heart, she already believed what Li Xia said.

If it was a lie... then she would just have to go in and look at the blond girl's legs to be sure of the truth.

But Shining couldn't accept this truth.

She has always believed that the medical institution that is dedicated to the medical field and serves the Sarkaz people - the Absolution Master... turned out to be a demon in human skin, a devil walking in the world.

Then when she was a sin pardoner all these years, hasn't she been... helping the evildoers?

At this moment, Shining heard the white-haired boy beside him speak.

"Shining, if you feel guilty about your past choices..."

Li Xia stretched out his right hand and pointed at the absolutist magician not far away.

"What is in front of you now is a road to redemption."

"You chose to turn a blind eye to the truth I told you, pretending that you didn't hear anything, continue to be loyal to the Absolution Master, and continue to fight for these demons in human skin."

"It's better... to give up the 'sword' as the absolution master, and use his head to cut off your past with the absolution master."

"Only you can make that choice."

Li Xia handed over the right to choose to Shining.

Do you choose the Absolution, or me and Nightingale?

Chapter 68 We Are "Accomplices"

Shining glanced at the white-haired boy beside him.

Then, she turned her head and turned her gaze to the absolutist, the sorcerer who was standing not far from the stone house, with a questioning tone in her voice: "Is everything he said true?"

"Shining, you can't fail to see that this is the trick of the defector?"

A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on the face of the Forgiveness Master, and he slowly walked towards Shining and Li Xia.

"Defector, you don't have to provoke us!" The absolutionist magician pointed at Li Xia's nose with a look of righteous indignation, "You stole the secrets of our absolutionist, betrayed our organization, and pretended to be You look like a victim, but let me tell you, the trust between us sinners will not be challenged by a traitor like you!"

The pardoner, the magician, was smiling, but a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He is a researcher at the Absolution Institute.

But that doesn't mean he's incapable of fighting.

He was a pardoner first and a scientific researcher second.

His confidence comes from his own Originium skills.

Even if most people spend their whole lives and put in arduous efforts, they will not be able to display any decent Originium skills in the end, while a small number of gifted people can naturally release Originium skills that others can't match.

Sarkaz people are the best in this regard.
