The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 583: An unexpected attack

Views:

The reason why that man was somewhat similar to Inelis was because the face of the person in front of Inelis was covered with rotten abscesses and disgusting tumors.

Inelise had never seen such an ugly person, but just from the outline, Inelis could tell that the person in front of her was herself.

"Who are you..." Enelise asked with a trembling voice.

"I am you..." the person replied. She was wearing a standard armor of the Stoker Empire. Her small body was a bit funny when she was huddled in the armor, but the horrific rot on the person's face and body made her... Nelisse couldn't laugh at all.

"You are also me." The man continued in a hoarse voice: "I am you in the future, and you will become like me."

"No... no, it's impossible!" Inelise wanted to speak, but at this time she suddenly lost the ability to speak.

"You killed them, you killed many people, and they became like this." The man continued: "So you will also become like this. This is retribution, this is fate."

"This is who you will be in the future! You can't escape!" The man suddenly roared loudly. She swung the big sword behind her with strength that was inconsistent with her body, and then slashed the sword on Inelis' neck. .

"Ah!!!" Inelis suddenly screamed. She opened her eyes and found that she was lying on a soft bed, but she was sweating profusely. The damp sheets and the quilt stuck to her body made her feel no comfort at all. Feel.

"Sister Yi Ni." Veresa rubbed her eyes, and then lit the magic lamp on the bedside desk. Vereesa walked to Enelise, who was still shivering, and asked softly: "Are you having nightmares again?"

"Sasha... this dream... is so scary..." A frightened Inelise hugged Vereesa tightly: "She said... she said that I would turn into a rotting corpse in the future."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a dream." Veresa comforted her softly. This was not the first time that Inelis had nightmares. Ever since Inelis came back from the battlefield, she had been awakened by nightmares almost every night. Therefore, Veresa, who had been with her day and night, naturally knew how to deal with it.

She first comforted Inelis through words for a while, and then she quietly cast a minimally effective hypnotic spell on Inelis. After confirming that Inelis was asleep, Vereesa used several spells on Inelis to soothe her mind.

After seeing that Inelise's breathing had stabilized, Veresa sighed helplessly: "What happened to Inelis? It's better to tell Sister Irene tomorrow."

… .

Vereesa told Irene about Inelise's nightmare the next day, and Irene was not particularly surprised by this. Because except for Inelise, most of the students who returned from the battlefield had more or less nightmares. Many boys also used this as an excuse to go to the school infirmary every three days. In addition to treating illnesses, the main purpose was to see Eileen more often.

But when Vereesa dragged Inelise and pushed her in front of Irene, Irene realized that Inelise's situation was a little different.

Unlike other students who were left with psychological shadows due to the bloody scenes on the battlefield, Inelise's bigger problem is the nightmare that has been lingering in her mind - the scenes in her nightmares are almost the same, either the dilapidated Costa Fortress or a mess. Melinder.

The content of the nightmare was almost the same: a corpse riddled with holes slowly came to her, struggling and shouting, as if it wanted to remind her of something, but also seemed to just want to kill her.

What really concerned Eileen was the character that appeared in Inelise's dream: the corpse was either Inelise herself, Regnar or Annelotte.

Erin didn't have any good solutions for this almost foreboding nightmare. In desperation, she had no choice but to inform Annelotte of the incident, but the result was that neither Irene's magic nor Annelotte's magic could detect any abnormality from Inelise.

Seeing Inelise wasting away due to the torture of sleep and nightmares, Annelotte finally came up with a solution that was not a solution. That is to let Regnar sleep with Inelis.

"Huh?" When Regnar heard Annelotte's solution, he instinctively wanted to applaud. However, as a hypocrite who knows his integrity, Regnar still reluctantly said: "Not so good." ?”

"I'm just staying with Yi Ni so that she can sleep peacefully. What disgusting things are you thinking about?" Annelotte looked at Regna's grinning mouth and worked very hard to do so. His embarrassed expression made him want to vomit.

"Yini, after all..." Regnar still wanted to shirk.

"Eni is your fiancée after all, isn't she?" Annelotte was too lazy to talk to this guy who was getting the advantage but still being obedient: "I'm just informing you to do this. No one cares about your opinion, and no one cares about it. I don’t know what you are thinking in your heart. So put away your hypocrisy and properly appease Yi Ni. If Yi Ni is still like this in a few days, I will ask you for it! "

“…”

Because of Lady Annelotte's golden orders, Regnar acted very bachelorly. Not long after nightfall, he left all the work at hand to Snow, and then ran to the school infirmary alone to accompany Inelise.

Except for Inelise, no one knew exactly what Regnar had done, but everyone could see that with Regnar's company, Inelise's nightmare was gradually fading away. Therefore, neither Irene nor Annelotte raised any objections to this.

A few days later, Annelotte came to Regner's office unexpectedly.

"Is something wrong?" Regnar asked. He knew that Annelotte was a busy person now and would hardly come to him if nothing happened.

"At twelve o'clock tonight, go to the boulder in the grove west of Merindle. I have something to say." Annelotte said.

"Can't we say it here?" Regnar scratched his head and looked around. If we talk about confidentiality, this is the office of the Director of Military Intelligence. I'm afraid there is no other place in Merindel, except the palace, that is more heavily guarded than here.

"There's something I want you to see, and you have to go there." Annelotte said expressionlessly.

"..." Regnar thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Annelotte left after seeing Regnar agree.

After Annelotte left, Snow walked in through the secret door: "Sir, do you need to send a few brothers to follow you secretly?"

"No need." Regnar shook his head thoughtfully.

At midnight, Regnar came to the boulder as promised, and Annelotte was already waiting there.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Regnar asked with a smile.

"Say something quickly!" Annelotte said coldly.

"You have something to say... tell me quickly?" Regnar was stunned: "Didn't you find me here?"

"What?" Annelotte's eyes widened in surprise: "It was obviously you who found me here."

"This..." Regnar couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Annelotte's statement, and before he had time to carefully consider the strangeness of this matter, Annelotte's dagger was pointed at Regnar's throat. passed.

Although she is not a mage, Annelotte has never neglected to train her physical fitness. What's more, this girl has the blood of the Gale Sword Master, and her physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Although Annelotte never used too many martial arts in battles, it was because her martial arts strength was too weak compared to her magic strength. But even so, Annelotte still has the melee fighting ability of a fourth- and fifth-level warrior after being deprived of her magic.

At this moment, she suddenly took action, and her target was Regnar, who was unprepared for her. Regnar almost got caught. However, it was still a little bit behind after all.

Regnar took half a step back and touched his throat. The Adam's apple had been scratched a little by the dagger.

"Annie, are you kidding me?" Although Regner was almost killed by Annelotte, he still didn't get angry at this time. After being together for such a long time, Regnar could naturally tell at a glance whether Annelotte was someone else pretending to be her. The person in front of her was exactly the same as Annelotte in terms of appearance, behavior, aura, and even the magic power fluctuations she occasionally exuded.

Because of this, Regnar's first action after being attacked was not to fight back, but to ask Annelotte why she took action.

"I..." Annelotte looked at the dagger in her hand unexpectedly at this time. Just now, her will suddenly went into chaos, and when she came back to her senses, this was the scene in front of her.
