... Just because you have a gun, I am not at ease.
When you reach the age when you don't need a gun, I'm sure I'll let you take me to brush it.
Annan complained silently.
But he didn't say much.
He just nodded slightly, and pinched Benjamin's sleeve—this kind of reserved and weak performance can even arouse the desire for performance and protection in the young man's heart.
He clearly felt Benjamin's body pause.
Annan pinched his cuffs, and Benjamin, who was still very young in his youth, dared not move at all.
It should be because he was worried about accidentally throwing the hand of "Evelyn" grabbing his cuff, and his arm was even hanging in the air, motionless.
... what a stupid fool.
Annan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What a great opportunity this is—the girl's gesture of gently pinching your cuff or the corner of your clothes, as if she might let go of her hand at any time, is to make you hold her hand tightly with your backhand.
If she can hold it tightly by herself, why do you need to hold it backhand
But Benjamin didn't have the guts... Of course, it may also be because he was simply stunned and didn't expect to do this.
What a rare honest boy...
Annan sighed again.
... However, this also revealed another thing for Annan.
That is, "Evelyn" herself is a person with low self-esteem.
This is indeed understandable.
For a teenage girl with excellent dance talent... her face, skin and future dreams were all destroyed. It is not easy for her to be able to live strong.
And Annan can also feel from her body... Although she has been away from the stage, she has not neglected her daily exercise.
Otherwise, her body would not be so flexible and her steps would not be so light.
... In this case, if Benjamin shook off Evelyn's hand unconsciously, it might be a blow to her.
In order for Annan to keep up, Benjamin's left arm was completely stiff. He didn't even dare to go straight forward, but stopped after two steps. In order for Annan to keep up.
-Too much trouble.
Annan simply took a step forward and grabbed Benjamin's hand with his backhand.
Facing Benjamin's surprised gaze, Annan showed a weak yet resolute expression on his face: "I'm going to see it.
"I think... it should be right here."
"… good."
Benjamin hesitated for a moment, with a look of impatience and hesitation on his face.
But he still took out his gun, held Annan's hand tightly, and walked towards the ruins of the church covered with cobwebs.
Annan keenly captured Benjamin's fleeting emotions.
He soon understood—
Benjamin should have been to this place himself.
In Annan's mind, he roughly sorted out the clues of the matter:
— "Evelyn" may have lost her memory for a while.
Judging from Benjamin's reaction, Evelyn should have seen the Dancer under the Moon first, and then wanted to find Princess Pale. And learned the location of the church ruins.
She told Benjamin about this, hoping that Benjamin would come with her.
If nothing else happened, Benjamin should have come to explore once before she came—maybe with his parents and others. And I have learned in advance that there should be no danger here, but there is no person or thing Evelyn wants to find.
This can also explain where Benjamin got the weapon and how his family members assured him that one of his children went out with a gun.
It's very simple, because his family has already accompanied Benjamin once. Know that here is a pure "ruin".
— but is there really nothing here
it's not true.
Because of Annan, he heard the "voice" very clearly.
"—Did you go to His Highness's ball last night?"
"—definitely went."
"—Why don't you go, such a grand ball..."
It was as if there was a man and two women, and the three of them were talking about something, passing by Annan and Benjamin.
Annan subconsciously looked at Benjamin.
It was found that he was only holding the pistol with the safety on, looking at the road ahead cautiously, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Noticing Annan's gaze, he turned his head curiously.
"… What's wrong?"
"... Thank you for your hard work."
Annan naturally wouldn't say "nothing".
That way, if those "voices" could see them too, Annan would be exposed.
So Annan changed the subject and said softly, "Thank you."
"...Ah, ah. It's okay, I'm just here to accompany you... No, it's not. I mean, it's nothing to worry about."
Benjamin coughed a few times, and said in a somewhat chaotic order.
He also secretly glanced at Annan, obviously not sure whether his answer would satisfy the girl.
But Annan ignored him.
He just nodded, indicating that he heard it—at the same time, he was still listening intently to the chatter of the "invisible voices" around him.
"—Hey, isn't that little girl..."
"—well. I saw her yesterday."
"-it's a pity… "
"—she is a good dancer. Your Highness will love her."
"—Your Highness pays more attention to pure and bright hearts."
"—but she has a pure heart too!"
"—but only pure..."
Before Annan's eyes, it was a half-collapsed ruin.
The pillars were toppled, the ground was covered with dust and rubble, and all the decorations were taken away, not even the lights.
But in Annan's ears, he could hear many voices talking to him—or rather, to "Evelyn" commenting.
But Annan saw nothing.
Benjamin still did not hear these voices.
... Are these talking ghosts of the Pale Princess
Annan seemed to realize something in his heart.
He already had some speculation about the final outcome of "Evelyn"...
Could it be that she was transformed into a "half-dead daughter" in the end
When Annan walked near the basement, he subconsciously looked to the left.
The head of the soldier statue has been lost and is nowhere to be found. The statue of the soldier itself was pushed to the ground and covered in dust.
Naturally, that famous painting cannot be here. As a mechanism to block the entrance of the secret room.
—The road leading to the underground secret room is so openly opened here.
"...are you going to the basement?"
Benjamin uttered the unique voice of a boy with a voice-changing period.
He only hesitated for a while, and then took out a palm-sized iron box from his pocket.
He opened the iron box and took out a hollow silver lantern about two fingers wide. After the lantern was unfolded, it was connected to the iron box with an iron chain, which looked like a pocket watch.
Benjamin spun the head of the lantern vigorously, and finally ignited the fire in the lantern after three or four strokes.
He was carrying a hollow lantern like a pocket watch. Although a green flame was burning inside, a bright light that was almost light yellow emerged from it.
Benjamin made a bragging sound: "It's Green Fire, Evelyn!
"Unlike the black fire...it can be used as a very stable light source.
"I heard that Zedi Black Tower will popularize green lights to the common people soon. In that case, there will be no need for candles at night!"
In Benjamin's hoarse voice, which is unique to the voice-changing period, there is a hint of longing: "I also want to go to the Black Tower, Evelyn!
"Did you know that the wizards who made the green fire were called alchemists in ancient times, and they can turn stones into gold! The healing ointment is also their work...
"I think... I mean, if we can't find any clues here, you don't have to worry."
Benjamin, who was going down the stairs, said seriously: "If I can enter the Black Tower, I can definitely invent a salve that can heal your... wounds!"
When he said this, he held Annan's hand a little tighter.
Annan looked at Benjamin. His gaze was a little dodgy at first, but he quickly became firm and looked back at "Evelyn" who was suddenly silent.
He was a little apprehensive, waiting for "Evelyn"'s response.
But Annan, in a trance, felt a little... the mighty power of time.
It turns out that the motivation for Benjamin to aspire to become a transformation wizard is here
To become a person of the golden rank, one must have a strong enough sexual desire——Benjamin's sexual desire, is this the one
—The current Benjamin is obviously able to do this. Not to mention the scars left by the fire, even if the skin of the whole body is peeled off, it should be able to heal easily.
Can…
Where is Evelyn now
Annan vaguely sensed something bad.
Because he suddenly remembered.
The keyword for this dungeon... is "dead".
— So, who died
