Qi Leren felt lost, deeply lost, and perplexed.
How on earth did Aya know his name? Is his face so recognizable? Impossible, when did Aya know about him? During the time she was in the underground ant city, she had to wear a blindfold as a holy fire maiden... Is that when she was still in the tribe
Valentine tribe, Ning Zhou mentioned this tribe in his letter, could it be...
A flash of inspiration flashed in Qi Leren's mind, and he asked excitedly, "Have you seen Ning Zhou?"
"I don't know his name, this textbook, it was... he... gave it to me." Aya choked and nodded, "He said he could memorize it a long time ago, if... if it can help me , then it is valuable.”
Qi Leren showed a smile unknowingly: "It is indeed something he can do. Then do you like it?"
Qi Leren's original intention was to ask Aya if she liked the book, but hearing it in Aya's ears made her stiff as if struck by lightning. She felt sad and trembled timidly: "I dare not...he...he likes you."
After being stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Aya was talking about, Qi Leren immediately blushed and coughed a few times dryly with his hand on his mouth, but his heart felt as if a pot of honey had been knocked over, the sweetness made him stunned.
"There was a portrait with your name written on it inside, and it was blown away by the wind. I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it. I'm sorry..." Aya said, tears came again, "I return the book Give it to you, thank him, thank him for giving me the courage to take responsibility."
"Since he has given it to you, you can take it. As for the thanks, I will pass it on to him." Qi Leren said.
"Did he find you?" Aya asked.
Qi Leren smiled: "I found him."
It was such a gentle smile and those eyes full of love that brought tears to Aya's eyes, as if at this moment, the pain in her heart was also forgotten, she embraced the scriptures, and said joyfully: "Then Great, you must, must not separate again."
Seeing Aya's sincere smile with tears in her eyes, Qi Le realized that this little girl likes Ning Zhou, no, maybe it's not a liking, but just a young girl's ignorant longing. He didn't know how to comfort her, after all, he was the "culprit" who caused her broken love.
"Okay. We will never be separated again." Qi Leren said softly.
Aya was crying and laughing at the same time, two contradictory emotions stirred in her soul, which made her unable to calm down for a long time. In the end, tired from crying, she leaned against the window sill, staring blankly at Qi Leren flipping through the scriptures and reading to her in a low voice.
In the dim light, time suddenly became slow and soft, and Qi Leren's voice was gentle and warm, as if even the thing that was stuck in her heart and made her cry was gradually melting.
Aya thought in a daze, how could the two people she liked treat her so well
But what could she do for them
If you become the Dragon Ant Queen...
As soon as such a thought flashed through Aya's mind, she fell into a deep sleep in the drowsy drowsiness.
Qi Leren looked at Aya's sleeping face quietly, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
The outside world is still in heavy fog, and he doesn't know where the direction is. He suddenly misses Ning Zhou very much—no, it should be said that he has always missed Ning Zhou, even if it is only a moment of separation, his restless heart The heart cannot be calm. He is longing, longing to see Ning Zhou again, this long and forbearing longing has long settled in his heart, it is obviously stinging, but sweet.
If it is said that he could endure it before the connection of hearts, but after the two of them have connected with each other, he didn't want to endure this scorching torment for a second. He wanted to send the ring out earlier, earlier...
When he returned to Twilight Township, he went to buy the most beautiful ring, and then proposed to Ning Zhou on his birthday.
Qi Leren couldn't help thinking about that scene, stroked his ring finger, and laughed silently.
I don't know how Ning Zhou is doing now.
This thought flashed through Qi Leren's mind. Up to now, the candidates for Queen Dragon Ant have appeared here, but Ning Zhou... I am afraid he cannot be included in the scope of candidates. After all, he has found his original power, and Queen Dragon Ant once loyal past destruction.
Hope he is well.
Qi Leren let out a long breath, covered Aya with a blanket, and leaned against the lantern by himself, quietly waiting for the arrival of a new day.
&&&
The black hole deep in the underground valley is gradually expanding, swallowing the rushing river water and the gravel on the cliffs one by one.
Standing on the viewing platform, the head maid of the Dragon Ant Queen showed anxiety on her face. She lowered her eyes and walked around to Ning Zhou from the side: "Your Majesty..."
Ning Zhou glanced at her coldly, the head maid choked, and didn't dare to mention that title again: "The domain of Queen Dragon Ant is about to..."
The illusionist on the side curled his lips: "How much longer?"
"According to this situation, it will take another two hours at most. If you make a move, maybe..." The head maid was worried, but was interrupted coldly by Ning Zhou: "Got it."
The head maid wanted to say something more, but the coldness of the future Demon King of Destruction made her dare not speak again, and silently withdrew.
"Two hours, can that guy come out?" the illusionist muttered.
Ning Zhou didn't answer, he was looking at the expanding black hole, which was the source of order that was collapsing. Without the help of external forces, with the fall of the Dragon Ant Queen, the origin of order will also lose control and eventually collapse into a black hole. But even if he made the move... Ning Zhou closed his eyes.
His shot means calling more destructive power, close to the domain-level destructive power.
But if he doesn't do it...
He had to.
"After this time, this field won't last long." The illusionist said suddenly.
Ning Zhou glanced at him.
The illusionist said to himself: "I'm afraid you still don't know the situation of the underground ant city. The domain of the Dragon Ant Queen should have collapsed and disappeared after the death of the first Dragon Ant Queen, but she used an extremely cruel method, Forcibly inheriting the domain, this method of inheritance is extremely painful, forcibly raising every successor queen from an ordinary human or demon to the domain level... No, it should be said that they do not own the domain of the underground ant city at all, but It’s just in the domain of acting as the first Dragon Ant Queen. Under this inhuman overdraft, their lifespans are surprisingly short, and their deaths are extremely painful.”
The illusionist asked with a half-smile, "Guess where the monsters come from?"
"..."
"It is precisely from the heart of Queen Longan that this endless pain constantly produces her inner monsters, which fill the tombs of every queen. Every month, this group of monsters will escape from the weak barrier, Bring death and disaster to the underground ant city. As more and more queens die, the number of monsters is also increasing, and one day, this realm will cease to exist."
The illusionist looked at the black hole and murmured: "An old house, no matter how you repair it, it will collapse one day. Only the territory of the Holy See can..."
"The territory of the Holy See is also full of hidden dangers." Ning Zhou said.
The illusionist looked at him in surprise: "Didn't it mean that the domain of the Holy See can be perfectly inherited? The domains of the previous popes have been perfectly inherited. The prophet even communicated with the pope..."
Realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, the mesmer immediately shut up.
"The prophet..." Ning Zhou looked at the illusionist in surprise.
Ning Zhou has known this elder since he was very young. After so many years, he seemed to be favored by time, and his appearance remained unchanged. Even Ning Zhou thought that he could escape the punishment of time and guard this pure land of mankind for a long time.
"The Prophet also has the same idea, wait for him... to find someone to continue to maintain the Twilight Village." The illusionist said, clenching his loosened palms into fists.
"He wants you to inherit Twilight Land?" Ning Zhou asked clearly.
The illusionist nodded, then shook his head again: "I or Si Lin, but I don't want to. He has taught me for many years, but...he actually doesn't understand me, or he doesn't want to understand."
The illusionist laughed sourly, and whispered in melancholy and relief: "In his heart, the love for the world has already surpassed the love for the individual. He is already detached, but we are not. He does that. love, I'll never learn."
He will never forget the scene when he saw the Prophet for the first time.
That year, he had just entered the nightmare game for less than half a year and became a member of the Tribunal. After passing some inexplicable tests, he followed the executive officer into the underground world of ice and snow. Si Lin of the Judgment—the acting chief executive of the future Judgment.
Through the long corridor, they came to a huge underground church. Under the towering dome in front of them, except for rows of seats, there was a statue of a holy angel more than ten meters high, but it didn't look like an ordinary holy angel. . His wings seem to be made of metal, and his clothing style has a slightly steampunk style, but it perfectly blends with the compassionate and holy expression on his face.
The moment they stepped into the palace, the holy angel statue gave off a faint light, and a figure flew out from the angel statue, spread its white wings, and landed lightly in front of him.
Like a real angel, descended from heaven to earth.
He smiled and said to the guide, "This is the student you found for me? He is so young and cute."
At that time, he hadn't been lying in the icy cold pool all year round.
At that time, he had not lost the pocket watch on his chest.
At that time, he had never met a man named Su He.
