Then, she forced a smile on her weak face: "You have killed another [Iron Guard], be proud of it... [Pure White Fireworks]..." After saying that, Ye Lina closed her eyes and raised her head. The Iron Guard will never die with their heads down. In the raging snow and wind, Yelena waited for death to come. Even though the wind beside her was very strong, at this moment when she was so close to death, her ears seemed extremely silent. However, the silence was broken with a sigh: "Fool..." Yelena opened her eyes suddenly, and Perlis had already removed the butterfly knife from her neck. What? Under Yelena's stunned gaze, Perlis casually swung the butterfly knife, retracted her sleeves, then turned around and walked away in the wind and snow.
Why..don't you kill me..? Yelena opened her mouth, but the dry taste of blood in her throat prevented her from making any sound. The vision gradually became dim, the wind and snow swallowed up the white shadow in front of her, and gradually swallowed up Ye Lina's consciousness. ...... 5) The one who abandons, the one who is abandoned (Part 11) "Young Master? Aren't you going to look for...?" "Take two people to the backyard, the Angel is there, bring her back, don't let her die!" "Okay...Okay...but you..." Without paying any more attention to the guy behind him, Pace ran breathlessly through the lobby on the first floor and staggered open the door of the mansion. The cold winter wind blew in through the door and hit Pace's panicked face. Where? Where did she go? Pace was anxiously searching for Perlis in the snow and wind that enveloped the mansion. Then, on the path not far away, Pace saw her: Her slender legs stepped lightly on the stone road, making no sound like a cat. She turned her back to Pace, weaving between the withered vines and heading towards the gate of the mansion. "Perlis!" In the wind and snow, Pace shouted at the figure, panicking and embarrassed. In the wind and snow, the white-haired girl slowly turned her head and stared at Pace with her blood-red eyes. Perlis didn't say anything. The cold wind mixed with ice and snow lifted her hair, which danced in the wind like fireworks. She stared at Pace expressionlessly for a while, then turned around again and set foot on the road. Gazing at the figure that left silently, Pace opened his mouth in shock.
why? Why didn't she say anything? She is obviously the victim and the one who was deceived, so why doesn't she say anything? Countless emotions mixed with belated regret drove Pace's legs to run forward unconsciously. He plunged into the wind and snow, chasing the figure that was getting farther and farther away from her. "Perlis!" The white-haired girl did not look back. She walked lightly on the stone road, blending into the raging snow and wind. Seeing Perlis's figure getting closer and closer, Pace stretched out his hand like a possessed man, reaching out to the little girl walking in the blizzard. ...... "Perlis!" When Perlis heard the voice, she turned her head and saw Pace standing at the door of the mansion, calling her. No, that's enough. Perlis looked at Pace, who was panting. His clothes were stained with blood. It was obvious that he had just been through a tough battle. That's great, you did it. Now that I've taken back the mansion, I'm of no use to you anymore. Why are you still calling me? With a strange feeling, Perlis withdrew her gaze, lowered her head slightly, and continued walking on the cobblestone road towards the gate of the manor. It's always like this. No matter how hard she tries to trust others, no matter how seriously and wholeheartedly she helps others, others only care about this "help". No one has ever cared about her. In the end, she is the only one who wishfully believes in things like "friendship" and "companions", and the story will always end exactly the same as it does now. Perlis exhaled with a trembling breath. Ever since she chose to believe Pace in the tavern in Loton, she had been dreading the arrival of this day. Even though she was a little intoxicated by the laughter and fun during the journey, the premonition in her heart kept lingering around her. In the end, I ended up like this, alone, walking lonely on the Wanren Mountain. Then why do you still refuse to change your bad habits? In the snow and wind, Perlis felt her vision was a little blurry. Is it snowing? Or... "Perlis!" Pace's shouts came from behind again, accompanied by the sound of running getting closer and closer. Why? Why are you still calling me? Whether it's [Pure White Fireworks] or [Blade of Babel], aren't these the ones that are useful to you? Are you the only one who you want to pretend that you care about [Perlis Havrgard]? !
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Perlis closed her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and a tear slid down her cheek. When the footsteps approached her, Perlis swung out the butterfly knife. ...... "bass--" Pace only had time to see Perlis turn around before a red light flashed across his chest. Feeling no pain, Pace lowered his head and saw the Monarch family emblem pinned on his chest being chopped off and falling to the ground, making a "clang" sound of metal collision on the cobblestone road. "Liar! You are all liars!!" By the time she reacted, Perlis had already started shouting and screaming regardless of anything, with tears pouring out of her crystal red eyes like a river bursting its dam. "Edward is a liar, Ivar is a liar, and you are a liar too!!" Pace stared blankly at the girl in front of him. He had countless apologies and explanations prepared, but facing her out-of-control emotions, he could only remain silent as if something was stuck in his throat. Pace had never seen Perlis cry, or rather, he rarely saw her express any strong emotions. She always used that mask to arm herself, pretending that she was not a little girl walking alone in a cruel world. However, there she was, a pitiful little girl crying in the wind. "That's enough. I don't want to hear you talk anymore. I don't want to hear you talk anymore!" Perlis screamed hysterically, she lowered her head and let the crystal tears pass through the strong wind of the Wanren Mountain and fall on the snow. In an instant, the sound of the storm around him gradually faded away, and everything became quiet. Pace only felt the stone road under his feet gradually disappear, followed by the surrounding manors and the mansion behind him, and everything around him was swallowed up by an endless daylight. Pace's hands were shaking, and the impulse surged up again. He wanted to hug Pearlis, apologize to her, and beg her for the punishment he deserved. What if I have to die to atone for my sin? However, when Perlis raised her head again, she had regained her indifferent expression as if she was wearing a mask, as if her previous loss of control was just an illusion, with only the tear marks still hanging on her cheek. Maybe it has always been like this for so many years? She has been deceived countless times, betrayed countless times, and then countless times in silence, she put on that mask to cover the tears on her cheeks. He was just another person who had deceived her, no different from the demons who had pushed her to the top of the Tower of Babel. Then what right did he have to apologize? What right did he have to ask for her forgiveness? In the silence of the day, Perlis slowly opened her mouth, her voice as emotionless as when they first met: "If you follow me again, I will kill you." The surrounding snow and wind enveloped the two of them again. Perlis gave Pace a last cold look, then turned around silently and walked towards the gate of the manor. "Wait..wait..I——" Pace wanted to say something. He couldn't accept such an ending. He couldn't accept their absurd and powerless separation. He wanted to chase after her, even if he might be hit by a fatal blow, he still wanted to chase after her, but his legs seemed to be frozen and he stood still, unable to move. He could only watch as Perlis walked into the increasingly intense snowstorm and gradually went away.
The shackles called "family" have tied his legs and imprisoned him on this thousand-foot mountain. Winter has arrived, and the blizzard has swallowed up everything on Wanren Mountain, including the forest, the mansion, and the tiny figure that gradually disappeared from Pest's sight. ...END... 6) Blood and Steel "Then they huddled together beside the extinguished fireplace, eagerly extracting the remaining warmth from the burnt wood." "In this harsh winter when steel crushes frozen soil, even this little bit of remaining warmth hits their faces that are gradually losing temperature like a heat wave." "The cold wind crushed hut after hut, and followed the infinite torrent of steel to the top of the snowy peak, turning into the iron hammer of the usurper, smashing another piece of land beside the fireplace." "Unification? Change? Who? The one who forged steel with blood? Or the frozen bones in the hut?" —— "Selected Works of Wilkin's Fairy Tales" ...... Ice lake, an endless ice lake. Standing on the frozen lake, no matter which direction you look in, you will see endless ice, as if this is the whole picture of the world. If you tell a child born on Wanren Mountain that this is the frozen sea, he will probably believe it. The cold winter wind continued to sweep across the ice surface, and the knife-like wind made a strange "rustling" sound on the stone-like ice. It seemed that the winds could not stand each other, or as if they were joking, and joined together to laugh at the tiny figure walking on the ice. "call..." Perlis walked slowly on the ice, exhaling a breath of white air. Her red eyes were slightly open, and Perlis looked calm, as if the cold wind around her did not exist. This is certainly not because she has any divine power, but thanks to the factor shield on her body, she can maintain her ladylike image in such a harsh environment. Although...she is not a lady in the traditional sense, and at this moment she doesn't have much energy left to pay attention to her image. An hour ago, when Monarch Manor had become a shadow behind her, Perlis finally re-established the radio communication channel through the factor bracelet. The moment her signal came online, a communication came in ruthlessly and unreasonably— "Little White Flower!!" An anxious female voice came from the earphones that served as the receiver. Her voice was extremely weak, as if she hadn't slept for several days. But at this moment, her speech speed was as fast as if she had been injected with chicken blood: "Are you okay? Where are you? Did they make you unhappy? Tell me, you are not allowed to keep silent, you are not allowed to--" "Carly, I'm fine." Perlis answered softly, but the girl on the other end of the phone still looked unyielding: "Five days!! You've been missing for five days!! The Academy has already classified you as a defector! Come back quickly, not to Academi, but to Wilkin, before that old man dares to cause trouble for you... You are not allowed to disappear again! Come back..." "Carly, I need your help."
Perlis took a deep breath, and before Carly began to chant at high speed again, she spoke first: "I want to know the way into the Iron Fortress, other than the main gate." "Wha...what? The Iron Fortress? You're on the Ten Thousand Ren Mountain? You're in Thebite?! How...why are you!! Aaaaaaa!! You!" "Calm down, Carly," Perlis sighed helplessly, "Is there one?" "Ahhh!! Why are you going to Thebeth? Don't you know they've locked the borders after Charon's rebellion? They'll attack you if they see you, you idiot, you-"
