central capital...
Queen's bedroom.
Tonight's Central Capital is not destined to be peaceful. The guards of the whole city are dispatched to find Her Royal Highness who stood up to resist the monster's attack and protect the people.
Therefore, in the queen's bedroom, it seemed extraordinarily quiet.
Nai Ye was lying on the bed, the wounds on her body had all healed, and her fair skin was as smooth as a newborn.
Breathing very evenly, should be having some good dreams.
Lu Qiu pulled a chair and sat beside Nai Ye's bed, crossing his chin and looking at Nai Ye's peaceful sleeping face.
Taking a closer look...
Lu Qiu has been here for more than ten minutes, and his thoughts are gradually drifting away.
'Wow! Brother... Those dogs are so scary, they keep chasing me! '
'Woo...it's so dark at night, I'm afraid to sleep alone...Brother...'
"Brother is lying, the honey is not good, the bee sting hurts... woo..."
...
Fool…
This is Lu Qiu's biggest impression of his sister, no matter what happens to her, she is stupid and has no opinion.
But if you are afraid and feel wronged, you just know how to get into your arms, and it's the same when you cry.
Lu Qiu spread out his white fingers and clenched them tightly.
How long has it been since you felt that feeling? The feeling of being dependent.
When Naiye hugged him and cried bitterly in his arms, Lu Qiu really felt something was wrong.
Unfortunately, there was a small figure that suddenly broke into my heart where I was originally alone, occupying a small place.
Although insignificant, Lu Qiu couldn't accept it.
"Master Summoner, what do you seem to be worried about?"
Xerath's figure appeared beside Lu Qiu, only shrunk.
The light blue light emitted from the arcane creature illuminated the place where Lu Qiu was sitting.
Lu Qiu didn't look back at him, but kept looking at Nai Ye.
"It's still the same question, Xerath, do you think I'll fall in love with someone?"
Xerath didn't leave Lu Qiu. Since Lu Qiu entered the central capital, it has been wandering around. It is like a nuclear bomb in Lu Qiu's hand. Whenever there is a crisis that Lu Qiu cannot solve, this nuclear bomb can be activated at any time and blow up the entire central capital.
"..."
This is the second time that Xerath has been silent before Lu Qiu's question. He is the master of arcane and magic masters. He has almost no knowledge of magic and arcane that he can't understand, but he has feelings for human beings.
How could Xerath know, as His Royal Highness, a great magician who has become refined and surpassed the human body.
Xerath practiced from the bottom of his heart, and never thought about other things.
"Master Summoner, you are the most indescribable existence among the dozen or so masters I serve."
indescribable? That's not a good name.
"Really? In the eyes of my family members, how indescribable am I?"
Tonight, there is no need to continue to do anything, just wait for the dawn.
So Lu Qiu had time to chat with Xerath.
"With all due respect, when I first met you, you were naive." The conversation between Life, who has lived for thousands of years, and Lu Qiu did not hide anything at all.
Lu Qiu didn't refute, Xerath was telling the truth.
"But at the same time you're scary."
"I am indeed scary in the human impression." Lu Qiu did not deny it.
"No, I have served several masters who are more brutal than Lord Summoner. They did almost everything. They relied on my power to plunder money and treasures, force other men of the opposite sex to have sex with them, and compulsively submit to him. A little dissatisfaction will result in death." Xerath recalled.
"I don't seem to be any different from them."
Lu Qiu can be sure that he has killed a hundred times more people than the so-called cruel masters that Xerath said!
"You are fundamentally different from them! They do these things to satisfy their own desires! Desires for money, desires for sex, desires for power... They pursue these things, but what do you... get? Money, beauty, or rights? No, none of them! It is true that you are a wicked person, the most evil person in the world, and your sins are heinous and unforgivable, but these sins you bear are only for another person."
Xerath seemed to pour out what had been buried in his heart for a long time, feeling very happy.
"That's why I think that Lord Summoner is very naive!"
If people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish...
"This is also the scary thing about Master Summoner." Xerath glanced lightly at Nai Yehou who was lying in bed, "You have no regrets for everything you have done. As always, a person who has no desire but only obsession is terrifying."
"Just like you?" Lu Qiu also glanced at the sublimation from a human to a group of pure arcane spirits. Xerath is not dominated by the secular world of the world, and he is obsessed with magic and arcane, so he can obtain such terrifying power!
"Yes..." Xerath nodded, and seemed to have found his shadow in Lu Qiu: "If I'm not wrong, everything you do, Master Summoner, will not take into account your true feelings in your heart. It is enough to accomplish that goal, and do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal..."
Gather Desperation Points... Then...
Lu Qiu tightly held the pendant hanging around his neck.
"If I remember correctly, Master Summoner is only twenty years old this year, right? It's normal for people of this age to have a favorite opposite sex."
Fuck, you super high school-level magician, don't talk to me like this.
In fact, this is not what Lu Qiu really thinks.
"You're right." Lu Qiu stretched out his hand, gently stroked Naye's forehead, felt the soft touch from his palm, his eyes became gentle: "I really like my next generation."
When is it? When Nai Ye hugged her and cried, that inexplicable feeling grew in Lu Qiu's heart.
"But you will give up this, in your opinion, redundant feelings for the purpose, right?"
Xerath said in a deep voice the path that Lu Qiu would choose.
"As expected of my family members, you know me very well."
Nai Ye is just a pawn on Lu Qiu's chessboard. Sooner or later, it will be a pawn to charge forward and discard, and it is also the most important one.
Without Nai Ye, Lu Qiu will lose everything in this game!
Lu Qiu can't afford the price!
Can't afford it at all.
"Do you know the principle of equivalent exchange?" Lu Qiu stroked Nai Ye's forehead and said to Xeras at the same time.
"The basic rules of alchemy." Of course Xerath knew.
"To get something, you have to give up something."
Now, Lu Qiu's other hand tightly held the pendant hanging on his chest, the pendant that stored his sister's ashes, and finally stopped stroking Nai Ye's forehead and leaned back on the chair.
"I have killed billions of people, even myself, and the goal has never changed! This time is the same."
"The price is really heavy." Xerath said softly.
"No, these costs are nothing compared to the rewards."
Lu Qiu held the pendant tightly and answered Xerath.
So this is the scary thing about people without desires.
For their own purposes, they can do anything at all.
Xerath sighed and disappeared in front of Lu Qiu...
After Xerath disappeared.
Lu Qiu stood up, bit his finger with his small fangs, and pressed it against Nai Ye's pale lips. A little blood with golden brilliance overflowed from it, dripping down the corners of Nai Ye's mouth and dripping into Nai Ye's mouth.
"30 million, 30 million lives in exchange for your life for three days, Your Highness, don't let me down when the time comes." RS
