Chapter 224 Betrayal
"Bambi always has a very bad feeling..."
Walking through the dark shaft, Bambi looked at Melphi sitting on his shoulder uneasily and said. And Milfi also nodded solemnly.
"Me too...I hope Lady Mystrina will be fine..."
There was no reason why the two of them were so uneasy. In fact, they followed Mystrina's footsteps and finally arrived at the royal city. But the wandering businessman they found here told the two of them a very surprising news, that is, he did see Mystrina and a witch walking into the royal city, but in the eyes of the wandering businessman, , but it is a dangerous existence...
"She believes in the Three Fingers, aims at epileptic fire, and wants to lift the ancient seal buried under the royal city... Be careful, that is a very dangerous thing."
Although the two of them didn't know what epilepsy was, Sanzhi and the others once heard Lani mention it together with Duanmu Huai - legend has it that there was a dispute between the spokespersons of the Supreme Will, and one of the parties wanted to completely destroy the junction and restore it. Return to the furnace of life. In the end, this side failed and was sealed under the royal city, that is, the Three Fingers.
But...why is Mystrina with the three-fingered miko?
"Lady Mystrina would never want to destroy the junction. She must have been deceived!!"
Melphie clenched the rapier in her hand and murmured uneasily to herself, while Bambi did not speak. At the same time, Bambi suddenly had a flash of red light in front of his eyes.
"Found it!"
As Bambi finished speaking, the next moment the vampire princess turned into a large swarm of bats and quickly flew deep into the sewer with Melphie wrapped around her. I saw a large group of black bats passing through the sewers filled with rot and stench, and arrived at the deepest underground. Then the black bat swarm condensed again and transformed into Bambi's appearance again.
"Lady Mystrina!!"
At the same time, Melphie and Bambi also saw Mystrina. At this moment, the forest princess had completely lost her original health and vitality. Her armor was scattered on the ground, and her body was covered with burnt marks. At this moment, the forest princess was lying on the ground like this, her eyes dim and lifeless, as if she was dead.
"Your Highness, are you okay!!"
Seeing this scene, Melphie screamed immediately. She hurried to Mystrina's side, stared at her uneasily, and at the same time stretched out her hand.
"Your Highness the Princess..."
"Don't come here!!"
However, just when Melphi stretched out her hand, Mystrina suddenly waved her hand, then jumped up and distanced herself from Melphi and Bambi.
"Lady Mystrina??"
"Big sister??"
Looking at Misterina who seemed to be going crazy at the moment, both Milfi and Bambi became nervous. They didn't expect that Mystrina would turn into such a terrifying state, and they were panicked for a while, not knowing what to do. Melphi looked at Mystrina in surprise and asked uneasily.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you...what happened?"
"Don't come near me, Melphie..."
Looking at the two people in front of her, Mystrina showed a sad expression.
"I made a stupid decision, which led to me putting the entire Junction on the brink of destruction...I didn't want to do it, I just didn't know...No, this is just an excuse, in fact it is vague I also noticed that her...her purpose didn't seem to be a good thing, but I just didn't pay too much attention to it, because I didn't want to let myself suffer another failure like before..."
"Lady Mystrina??"
"Big sister? What on earth are you talking about??"
Listening to Mystrina's intermittent words, both of them looked confused. But Mystrina just raised her sword and shield and stared at them.
"Don't come here, leave here, Milfi, this is my order, just treat me as dead..."
"How is this possible?"
"Please apologize to my father for me. I'm sorry. It was my stupid behavior that caused the result... This is the punishment I deserve."
"I don't understand what you are saying at all, Lady Mystrina!"
Melphie moved forward again, but Mystrina raised her weapon and stopped her progress again.
"Ugh...it's really troublesome. Bambi should ask his relatives."
Seeing this scene, Bambi tilted his head slightly, then closed his eyes and made contact with Duanmu Huai.
After a moment, Bambi opened his eyes.
"Bambi, what did the Lord Knight say?"
"The family's answer is very simple."
As she spoke, Bambi raised her hands. Along with her movements, the petite body of the Night Princess was slowly floating in the air, and bats emerged from her side. At the same time, she saw a handful of bright red The hammer appeared above Bambi's head, and the next moment it turned into a red light and enveloped Bambi.
Immediately afterwards, powerful magic suddenly broke out.
"Since she won't listen, just knock her unconscious and take her back! Leave her to Bambi!"
As Bambi's words fell, the next moment countless bats emerged from behind the Night Princess and rushed directly towards Mystrina!
"...Haah, really, what on earth is going on."
Duanmuhuai retracted his thoughts and shook his head helplessly. He did not expect that Bambi and the others found Mystrina, but the forest princess seemed to have encountered some trouble. He heard Bambi describe that the princess was not wearing any clothes. ...Uh, maybe he was raped by some bandit, right?
It would be troublesome to blame this on myself.
But I can't say that it has nothing to do with me.
However, Duanmuhuai had just summoned Bambi's soul card to give her a weapon enhancement and a paladin's blessing. At least the attack power had been increased to high enough - it should be enough to knock Mysterina unconscious and capture her. .
Fortunately, my work is almost finished.
Duanmuhuai retracted his thoughts and looked at Laya who was squatting on the ground. After that, Duanmuhuai handed the things he got from the church to Laya. The latter said that he could feel the smell of his mother from it. After that, , she asked Duanmuhuai to take her forward She went to the church to seek the truth, so Duanmuhuai took her back to the church behind the Huoshan Mansion. Under the leadership of the god-skin noble, they came to a remote room. Then Laya closed her eyes and seemed to sense something here. .
When she opened her eyes again, she collapsed to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
"I..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, La Ya showed a wry smile.
"I'm not good. You may not know that I am an abandoned child, not born of grace, but a child born of horrific rituals. That kind of existence is not tolerated by humans, nor is it tolerated by snakes... She should not be accepted by Lady Tanis." After saying this, Laya closed her eyes, and a line of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I have made many unreasonable demands to you, but please, this is the last time... please kill me. I think I have made up my mind, but... I am still afraid, please let me get rid of this picture Cursed body, be free”
While speaking, La Ya raised her head, and facing her, Duanmu Huai's answer was...
"Is this necessary?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, La Ya opened her eyes in surprise and stared at him.
"Lord Hero?"
"To be honest, I think you seem to be a bit over the top. No matter what your life experience is, you were raised by Tanis after all. It is not easy to raise a child. I think if Tanis doesn't want to raise you, I would have let you die a long time ago, so I wouldn’t have spent so much time and energy on it. , raising you up like this. Besides...are your biological parents so important? It would be fine if they had to abandon you for some reason, but from what you said, your biological mother doesn't seem to care about you at all. Well, then why do you care about that kind of woman?”
Duanmuhuai found this fact hard to imagine, just like those family-hunting programs broadcast on TV. The biological parents lost their child and searched for it for more than ten years, and then found it, and then they both hugged each other and cried. Every time Duanmu Huai sees this scene, he feels it is fake. Of course, the real feelings of his biological parents may be revealed after they have been searching for them for more than ten years. But for the child, he has not known these two people since he was sensible. Even if he suddenly appeared and said that they were his biological parents, could this relationship be greater than the adoptive parents' incompatibility for more than ten years?
From a child's point of view, two strangers suddenly appeared hugging him and crying. Why did he cry with him? This is too fake!
Of course, if you are abused by your adoptive parents, that's another story.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai felt that it was unreasonable for La Ya to seek death just because she knew her life experience.
You want to say that Tanis abused her and raised her as a stepmother, and then Laya became desperate and wanted to commit suicide. But Tanis was still good to her, at least based on the few times Duanmu Huai talked with Tanis. Look, Tanith really cares about this daughter.
Even if you keep a dog, you won’t be able to let it go for more than ten years.
Or to put it conversely, keeping it for more than ten years is enough to prove a deep relationship, otherwise it would have been thrown away long ago.
"I don't think you should be in such a hurry to die. Think more about it. You are still young and your life is still long."
Duanmuhuai reached out and patted La Ya on the shoulder, but the latter lowered her head and said nothing.
"Okay, think about it more."
Duanmuhuai also knew that La Ya needed to calm down at this moment, so he turned around and left La Ya without saying anything else, returned to the Huoshan Mansion, and found Tanis.
"Is the child okay?"
"I think she should be able to figure it out after thinking about it."
When Duanmuhuai saw that the first question Tanis asked him when she saw him was Laya, Duanmuhuai felt that this stepmother was quite good, better than many biological mothers.
"That's it..."
Tanis sighed, then she took out a bottle of potion from her arms and handed it over.
"What is this?"
"This is the secret medicine of forgetfulness. If the child really can't get out of the pain, I beg you... to help the child be freed."
"I don't think it's needed, but I'll keep it for now."
Although Duanmu Huai felt that La Ya wouldn't need this thing, he still put the secret medicine of forgetfulness in his pocket. There are many ways to use this thing.
For example, Duan Muhuai read a book before, in which the female protagonist was pursued by the male protagonist, and was finally moved by the male protagonist and fell in love with him. In the end, the two got married, and then the heroine accidentally looked through the hero's diary and discovered that she actually knew the hero a long time ago. The male protagonist invented a forgetting potion, and in order to get the female protagonist, he used various methods to deal with her. For example, the male protagonist initially imprisoned her for torture, then learned everything about the female protagonist, and then gave her a secret medicine to make the female protagonist forget what she had experienced.
Then the second time the male protagonist arrested the female protagonist again, and then continued to feed the female protagonist with medicine.
In the end, the male protagonist finally decided to take the pure love route, so he gave the female protagonist the drug again. With his previous familiarity with the female protagonist, the male protagonist finally caught up with the female protagonist easily and started playing the pure love route. .
The ending is that the male protagonist comes back and finds that the female protagonist already knows the truth, so he fills her with another bottle of potion...
Of course, Duanmu Huai would not use it like this. Only believers of the God of Desire would play this way. When he met Duanmu Huai, he would lose his loyalty immediately.
"Then what happens next..."
Having said this, Tanis also returned to the topic. She stared at Duanmu Huai and spoke.
"It's also time for you to have an audience with my king. What do you think?"
"I've been waiting for a long time."
Duanmu Huai naturally would not refuse.
"Okay, I understand. Then please close your eyes and wait for a moment. I will lead you to my king."
Hearing Tanisi's words, Duanmu Huai closed his eyes, and the next moment, he suddenly felt empty under his feet.
Then, Tanisi's voice came to Duanmuhuai's ear.
"... Farewell, I hope it will be a perfect encounter."
The next moment, when Duanmuhuai opened his eyes, he had fallen heavily to the ground, and in front of him was a monster with a huge head, like the nine-headed dragon Hydra.
Duanmu Huai, who noticed Duanmu Huai, saw the snake raise its head and open its bloody mouth towards him.
Obviously, this is not meant to be welcoming.
But in turn, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lady Tanis."
Looking at the big snake in front of him, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer, and soon, black flames burst out from his body.
"Now, I don't have to worry about being embarrassed!"
The moment he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and smashed the head of the big snake in front of him!
