Under the pale moonlight.
Thick smoke billowed, and the flickering flames burned the night red.
In the small town, there were terrified shouts and screams everywhere.
Gray figures rode horses, shuttled forward, and the long knives in their hands harvested innocent lives along the way from time to time, even the old and weak, women and children were no exception.
These are horse thieves.
In the past few years, with the town's defensive strength, it would have been difficult for horse thieves to break into the town. But in recent years, turmoil has continued, the town has been devastated by war, most of the young and middle-aged people were killed and injured, and all the guards fled. Now they can no longer resist these horse thieves who took advantage of the fire.
Although a very small number of townspeople stood up to resist, they were quickly killed due to limited strength. The rest lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions.
The horse thieves let out a strange rhythmic whistling, killing the townspeople, looting their property, and firing rockets, setting fire to houses and causing further chaos. The only ones who can be spared are those pretty women. These women will be taken away and become slaves to vent their sexual desires. There is only one final end, which is to be tortured to death.
In a courtyard, the surrounding area was surrounded by fire, and it was impossible to rush out. Inside, a woman holding a baby shouted for help, but the people outside were too busy to take care of themselves, and no one came at all.
The scorching air and thick smoke made the cries for help gradually faint. This scene made Tiffany's breathing more and more heavy, and her whole body was burning with a strong light, trying to extinguish the flames, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
For her, this world is like an illusion, but she can feel that this is definitely not an illusion, but a real existence.
It's just that, as an "angel", she is more often just a bystander, and her ability to interfere in this world is quite limited. Generally speaking, at most once a day, and during the day, when she is helping the wounded in another place , has exhausted this ability.
If the nearby Tower of Faith hadn't been destroyed by the disaster of war, and if the townspeople still had the corresponding faith in their hearts, then she could exert extra power and change something. Unfortunately, after going through all kinds of hardships in the past... the villagers... The belief and belief among them have dropped sharply, so that Tiffany can only watch all this happen helplessly.
Although the woman still protected the baby with her body at the last moment, she couldn't change her tragic fate, and finally she and the whole yard were reduced to ashes.
Tiffany clenched her fist tightly. If it wasn't for her soul body, that fist should already be bleeding.
There was a neighing sound from the other side, and an old man stood there frightened, with the slashing long knife imprinted in his pupils, flashing the cold light of death.
Blood splattered everywhere, the head with white beard and hair flew high, and the body without the head slowly collapsed. Several horse thieves laughed and continued to drive forward. Soon, they found a new target. A pair of A couple fleeing with their children.
The horse thief in front fixed his mount, took out a bow and arrow from his back, and aimed at a child running in front.
At this moment, a little golden light fell from the sky, and the golden light instantly illuminated the town. Wherever the golden light went, all the fires were extinguished, and the injured residents of the town began to recover slowly.
The townspeople cheered up and shouted miracles one after another. Inspired by a special force in their spirits, some bold people began to rise up and resist, picking up sticks, axes, or throwing burning objects to attack. Soon, More and more people joined the team. Those horse thieves panicked immediately. Many horse thieves were directly knocked off their horses because their horses were frightened or attacked. He escaped in embarrassment.
Hearing the cheers of the townspeople, Tiffany finally let go of her hanging heart, and thankfully glanced at Veronica who appeared beside her.
Veronica gave her a gentle smile: "Actually, you should know that I am similar to you, and the power I can exert is quite limited. The reason why these people can defeat the enemy is more relying on their own strength. Have faith, have Hope gives strength."
Tiffany seemed to realize something, she nodded silently, and Veronica gently held her hand: "Time is running out, we should go."
Tiffany's held hand trembled slightly. Looking at Veronica's encouraging eyes, she couldn't break free. The figures of the two gradually dimmed and then disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, I don't know how much space I traveled, and after a while, I have returned to the Star God Temple.
"Today, is it the last day?" Veronica looked at the towering tower of faith and asked.
"En." Although she didn't say much, Tiffany was no longer silent in front of Veronica.
"I don't want to say superfluous words, but I hope that you can look directly into your heart and make the final choice."
Tiffany nodded, although she was much older than Veronica, but in front of Veronica, she was like a child who needed care.
Veronica also felt this way. In fact, when she brought Tiffany into a planet for the first time as an "envoy", she had been observing Tiffany, observing what Chen Rui said. The girl who said "has lost the courage to live".
On that planet, they happened to witness a huge natural disaster. Countless people were suffering in pain and despair. There was famine and mourning everywhere. It was impossible to describe the extreme misery with words or words.
Tiffany just watched quietly before, but the scene was really shocking. When she saw the parents changing their children, tears finally burst out uncontrollably.
Afterwards, Tiffany silently followed Veronica, learning to use her limited strength to inspire and help these victims.
Veronica is very pleased about this, because when some people are in despair, seeing other people's pain and despair, in contrast, their own pain will be relieved, and they will even try to create other people's pain to try to relieve their own pain. pain.
Veronica herself had such a personal experience back then. Fortunately, this girl still had a ray of sunshine in her heart, even though she had fallen into the abyss of despair, just like her back then.
Compared with the many sufferings I have witnessed, some experiences are actually nothing, just like the flame of life in the universe, it is just fleeting and vague.
To live is itself a kind of touch and meaning, even if it is just a moment of youth.
Life is so short, yet so long. From birth to growth to death, you will experience countless joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. The feelings, feelings and perceptions at each stage will be different.
Today's absolute, in tomorrow's view, may be just a relative. As long as there is faith and hope, we will get out of the haze again.
Under the guidance of Veronica, Tiffany mastered the trick of using the power of the envoy, and said the first sentence, thank you.
In the next few days, Tiffany seemed to put aside the pain in her heart, and just devoted herself to the work of "God Envoy", spreading faith and supporting the weak.
Veronica knows that she is only temporarily "forgotten", and it is impossible to really let go, but she believes that in the process of helping others build hope, her heart will really touch hope, which is a successful start .
In the last two days, Tiffany and Veronica, who have fully mastered the power of the envoy, acted separately. However, due to lack of experience, Tiffany still lacks in the distribution of limited power, so the situation just now appeared. scene.
"Veronica..."
"kindness?"
"What if a person loses his purpose in life?"
"I have also lost, but losing is not everything, and it does not mean losing everything. Some things don't belong to you, maybe you should be grateful... My experience is that you can stretch your soul, find more important life goals, and then , learn to let go of some past losses.”
"kindness… "
Veronica and Tiffany walked and talked, and walked hand in hand towards the main hall of the Star God Temple, just in time to see Chen Rui appearing at the door.
"Chen Rui, you came on time."
"It's not that I'm in time, but that her body can't wait any longer." Chen Rui glanced at the hands they held, and smiled: "I'm very happy to see some gratifying changes. Alright , Tiffany, now is the last time. Before you make a decision, let me declare that as a friend, uh, maybe this friend is just my wishful thinking... But, no matter what, I will respect your choice."
Tiffany lowered her head, moved her lips, and finally spoke: "What if I want to stay here?"
"Then you'll lose your chance to leave forever."
Tiffany raised her head: "If I leave here, what can I bring you?"
Veronica smiled slightly, it seems that a certain "friend" is not wishful thinking.
"I believe you know some things before. To be precise, you will become the queen of the Blood Fiend Empire, and..." Chen Rui shrugged, "You will be my wife. This is the condition of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. I'm sorry. To put it bluntly, this is a political marriage."
Tiffany fell silent and did not speak again.
"I think she still wants to stay." Veronica said something unexpected to Chen Rui, "Because staying will allow her to regain the meaning of her life."
Tiffany nodded, but she heard Veronica's tone change: "But, Tiffany, have you ever thought that as envoys of God, the power we can exert is quite limited, what if we are a queen? "
Tiffany was shocked, and a sudden light appeared in her eyes.
"What's more, you are not alone. Although I can't help you, I will always be by your side." Veronica shook her hand and looked at Chen Rui, "And your friend is not just me .You will take good care of her and love her, right? Chen Rui."
"I promise."
The tone of these three words was extremely solemn, and Tiffany couldn't help but think of the most profound scene in her heart, the outstretched hand, and the sentence "Come with me".
Seeing that person reach out to her again, Tiffany's heart speeded up involuntarily, as if some scenes in her memory overlapped together.
Slowly, the hesitant fingertips finally touched that touch of warmth, and the consciousness suddenly became hazy.
