A few months ago, in Cairns' study, the real head of Jia Silin's family summoned Sophie.

As a person in power who usually doesn't show much affection, Keynes rarely has time to sit down and drink tea with his relatives.

That time was no exception.

It was not a friendly chat between grandparents and grandchildren, but more like a ruthless leader assigning tasks to his subordinates.

"Sophie, my granddaughter, as the only contestant in Jia Silin's family, you have only one mission."

"No matter who your final companion is, I only need you to do one thing."

Looking elegant, but actually cold, the old man rubbed the gold coin in his hand, and ordered to his granddaughter in a flat tone:

"At the right time, kill your companion and sacrifice his life to that god."

"After he fully wakes up, use this as an excuse to make him make a promise."

The tone was the same, it was as easy as asking her to make you a cup of tea.

Kill one's own companion and sacrifice him to the gods as a sacrifice.

"The more excellent the soul, the better it should be in exchange for promises."

Such a cruel and despicable thing is not difficult at all in his mouth, it seems that he can do it just by raising his hand.

At that time, Sophie's answer also did not hesitate.

she says:

"Understood, my lord grandfather."

"I will definitely not dishonor the honor of Jia Silin's family."

No matter who you choose...

The result is all the same, isn't it?

Noble hands are never clean, such a trivial matter is nothing at all.

Even after she became a diplomat of the Silver Council, she had heard of such things, and even did a lot.

It's not a flower that grows in a greenhouse. Sophie has done such a thing a long time ago.

After that, Sophie started her own journey to find a companion.

Even if she is acting, on the surface she has to be very well prepared.

Some excellent sacrifices who are capable enough to be their own companions.

Special ability, excellent quality, outstanding strength...

All kinds of candidates are continuously narrowed and selected in her screening.

Apart from Ning Feng, there were a few qualified candidates that Sophie was satisfied with, and the sacrifice would be produced among these few people without any accidents.

If there is no meeting with Anthony again.

childhood sweethearts.

unmarried couple.

Even if there is no real love between the two, the relationship between the two is definitely deep.

But at a moment, Sophie didn't know whether it was the shame because the other party made her look ugly, or the resentment accumulated over the years, Sophie made a decision.

She decided to let Anthony be her companion...

She chose to sacrifice Anthony as a sacrifice to the gods!

Perhaps, even she herself didn't know why she reacted like this.

What's strange is that after knowing Sophie's choice, Keynes didn't make any reaction.

There was no hindrance, and no reminder.

Like, acquiesced.

And Sophie felt something else besides that.

My grandfather, after that, looked at me with a little more approval...

……

……

The gleaming dagger slashed across, piercing straight towards Anthony.

laugh.

The blade pierced into the flesh, easily piercing Anthony's skin and muscles.

"Uh……"

A painful voice squeezed out of Anthony's throat, and he felt great pain in a coma.

Blood splashed out.

The blood that flew out of the wound fell on Sophie's hands and cheeks, making her look a little more horrified in her tattered dress.

Tick.

However, that horror did not frighten the people who saw this scene at this moment.

Tick.

"For the glory of the family... I have to do this..."

Crystal tears slipped from the corners of his eyes unconsciously and dripped onto Anthony's face.

The expression was still indifferent, but the tears in the corners of Sophie's eyes seemed particularly inconsistent at this moment.

The hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, she could no longer hold the weapon in her hand, and lowered her head.

"But... I can't do it."

The small dagger deviated a little at the very end, instead of piercing Anthony's throat directly, it cut his cheek and nailed it straight to the ground.

"I, can't do it..."

If it's just a partner in a cooperative relationship, Sophie doesn't mind killing her.

But Anthony was different.

Even if she thinks that Anthony is nothing in her heart, even if she thinks that the relationship between the two is not strong.

But Anthony is really different.

In just a few seconds after the dagger fell, a large number of images flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Those memories that I thought I had forgotten, that I thought I no longer cared about, kept flashing back in front of my eyes.

When they first met, they played hide-and-seek together in the manor, and the two secretly made promises under the night sky...

At that time, he said that he would definitely marry himself in the future.

"You... big liar."

Snapped.

After slapping Anthony hard, Sophie's hand did not continue to rise, but stopped on his cheek.

It seemed to be gently touching, and it seemed to be feeling his body temperature.

"I hate you for being fickle! I hate that you don't always take those things to heart! I hate the cowardly way you run away."

You make promises and don't keep them.

You know what I hate, but you still do it.

"I hate you!"

Words full of anger and resentment echoed in the ruins, Sophie completely let go of her scruples and spoke loudly.

"But what I hate more is myself."

"Why am I still unwilling to give up on you?"

He clearly knows that he is not a good guy, but why can't he let go?

"Now, it's time to wake up."

"Because my husband should not be a playboy, but a hero."

Wiping away her tears, Sophie picked up the dagger, and...

Throw it aside hard.

Dang bang.

"At least in this game, you haven't played that badly yet."

Although Anthony did not perform well, he has been in a state of anxiety and panic from the beginning.

First, he was hurt by the undead maid because of carelessness, and then he had a conflict with Ning Feng when he was in a bad mood. It seems that his performance can be called poor.

But from beginning to end, Anthony did not let Sophie suffer a little harm.

Nothing.

He has always maintained his willingness to work hard, allowing Sophie to ridicule him.

Sophie, who only has the strength of ordinary people, is like a fragile flower in a world full of undead, which will shatter with just a slight pinch.

And Anthony did his duty, even when he was seriously injured, he didn't let the undead touch Sophie's finger.

This is enough.

Sophie thought so.

At least, this is enough for now.

As for whether the requirements are too low, let others say.

Anyway, she is not a well-respected woman.

The women in Jia Silin's family don't have a good reputation.

The choice has already been made, as for how to face Keynes in the future, that is something to consider later.

"Um..."

Painful voices came from under him, and Anthony, who was lying on the ground, woke up and tried hard to open his eyes.

He felt his face was wet, and his brows were wrinkled, but it was related to the scars on his body.

hiss!

This feeling, is it water?

Opening his eyes, before he could react to what happened, he was so frightened by the situation before him that he lost sleepiness and woke up directly.

tears?

My fiancée was crying with blood all over her body! ?

"Sophie...you! What about you?"

what happened! ?

you actually...

Do you actually have fucking feelings? ?

Ah? ? ?

I thought your heart was hard as a rock...

Although he thought so in his heart, the skills he had developed over the years in Neptune's career made him rein in the precipice and did not speak his truth.

He wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't get up at all, his whole body was limp and without any strength, and he was accompanied by severe pain all over his body.

Especially the face, it's hot...

"Cough cough... what happened?"

The injuries on my body are not important, why are you crying first?

And Sophie didn't wipe away her tears, she sniffed and said calmly:

"...Your face is scratched, I'm bandaging you."

yes, is that so?

The instinct felt wrong, but Neptune's intuition told him that he could not continue to ask.

"oh, I see……"

He nodded slowly and understood, and sighed with difficulty:

"Then please, please be gentle."

Nodding, Sophie tore off a rag and wiped the blood from Anthony's wound.

"That, Sophie..."

"Ok?"

His eyebrows trembled, but Anthony still didn't have the courage to ask questions, so he could only say vaguely:

"We... no, it's fine."

But Sophie didn't buy it. She nodded and said casually:

"If you don't say it, then I will. After you go back, clean up your mess as soon as possible."

Anthony:?

???

"Uh, why?"

Why are you so tough all of a sudden?

"marry."

Nodding clearly, Anthony suddenly said:

"Oh, that's it, so it's for marriage..."

Anthony: "..."

Ok?

"...Who is marrying who?"

And Sophie, facing the unbelievable Anthony, her eyes were full of pity, and said calmly:

"you and me."

click!

Anxiously wanted to get up, but the result was that the dislocated bones made another loud noise, causing Anthony's expression to twist violently.

But even with such pain, he still shouted with all his might:

"Oh! Why!?"

Pressing him back mercilessly, Sophie thought for a while and said:

"If you must have a reason, it's intuition."

Jia Silin's family, the most metaphysical, but also the most trusted special ability.

intuition.

"You will be happy if you marry me... roughly speaking, can you accept it?"

I can't accept it!

"Or in other words, Anthony, between liking and hating, which one would you choose?"

His cheeks twitched, Anthony looked at Sophie, and it took him a long time to murmur:

"If you choose this way, you probably like it..."

"That's good."

it is good?What is it?

"By the way, if it's elopement, how will your family react?"

Have you already thought of this point! ?

Anthony wanted to complain, but he couldn't move his body, and was finally defeated by Sophie's calm gaze, and said with difficulty:

"Maybe, uh, someone will celebrate it? After all, those collaterals may have a chance, but they are most likely dreaming. It depends on my old man's body. There is no problem with ten more..."

"Wait! You don't really think about it, do you? Even if we elope, our expenses..."

Looking at the eyes of Jia Silin's direct family looking at him like an idiot, Anthony blinked and faltered.

Come on, you're rich, you're great.

"That's it, the things here are over, let's talk about the rest."

"Oh……"

I don't know what the future will be like, but now, Anthony feels that the world is dark.

The miserable life of the next few decades seems to be clearly foreseeable.

And in a corner that neither Sophie nor Anthony noticed, the third person in this scene, a slender figure hidden in the shadows.

Chu Yu watched the whole farce.

Even at the moment Sophie really wanted to kill Anthony, she had no intention of coming out to stop her.

She has been watching with pure eyes and a calm expression.

An illusory scale appeared in Chu Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to do something.

But she chose to continue hiding until the end, and she also chose to quit after the voices of the two disappeared.

……

……

"Keynes, the matter has come to this point, if you don't give an explanation, you really can't justify it?"

Finally, after being asked again and again, after receiving the notice, Keynes did not evade.

Before he came to the crowd of legends, he bowed slightly to apologize:

"As for your doubts, I will explain them one by one."

"Everyone, I invite you to come. In fact, the Star Chaser competition is only a part of it."

"The real reason is to witness another thing..."

After straightening his clothes, the elegant noble old man turned around regardless of the frowns of other legends, and bowed to the empty sea.

"Everyone, please witness the miracle of mankind..."

Looking up, he looked at the seemingly empty sky with a fanatical attitude unlike that of an old man.

Shouted loudly:

"Kaines represents Jia Silin's family, and welcomes your arrival here."

……what?

Before the legends figured out the situation, Augustus, who had been sitting in his seat, slowly got up and left his seat.

He didn't bend down like Keynes, but he also straightened his body, looking at the sky with deep eyes.

Cecilia, who was playing the role of the sword bearer, didn't get up, but raised her head slightly, with some nostalgia in her eyes, and whispered in her heart:

"...It's been a long time."

The next moment, it was dark.

On the calm sea, a huge shadow suddenly casts from the sky!

At the location sent by Augustus, ripples appeared in the space, revealing the truth inside.

The super-giant ancient buildings hidden in it, the apex of human power-the city in the sky!

After a thousand years, it once again showed its original appearance in front of the world.

And at the same moment when the sky appeared, Ning Feng, who was sitting on the broken throne, also opened his eyes, and his body disappeared in place.

The next moment, he suddenly found himself floating in the sky.

Ning Feng, who hadn't figured out the situation, naturally moved his eyes down, looking in the direction of someone in his field of vision.

In the eyes of everyone on the cruise ship, it is another scene.

After Cairns saluted respectfully, Ning Feng suddenly appeared in the sky in front of the Sky City!

In other words, the city in the sky...

Behind Ning Feng.

He floated high in the sky, his eyes calmly overlooking everything under his feet.
