The Enemy Always Wants to Pull Me into a Coffin

"Hey, where has your memory been restored?"

On the way to the place where the water monster lives, Arecio was a little surprised when he heard the memory recovery of neurosis.

"I thought you had to think back more slowly, for example, it would take more than a hundred years for the memory of more than one hundred years to recover like that."

Ruzius smiled, "How can it be so slow, it's just picking up the things you once owned."

He even wanted to be quicker, quicker to retrieve that dreamlike memory. There will be countless carnivals in my memory, countless Alesi, even if it will rain in the end, they are still harmonious at that time, like flowers blooming in the crevices, even though they are difficult, they are still growing.

"I don't know if it was the reason for the recollection. Some fragments that were not clearly remembered in the past have begun to become more clear again."

"For example?" Arecio asked.

"For example, since that era, light and darkness are not completely opposites." The saint slightly closed his sky-colored eyes. His expression at the moment was very peaceful, and his walking movements were almost in a relaxed state, enough to see. He was in a good mood.

"I remembered that when I was not taken away and trained by the temple, my condition was not so good. I was the kind of child raised by the village collective without father or mother. But even then, I still feel that life is It is hopeful, I once knew a water monster..."

Alessio had never heard of this, so he listened very attentively. I don't know if it is a racial hobby. The female water monster in neurotic memory also likes to pick up star-shaped shells under the water and glue them into exquisite rings. Arecio seemed to see the scene. The water monster straightened his upper body from the water and waved the ring at the young platinum-blonde boy.

"Then you must have no prejudice against dark creatures at the time." Arecio smiled, "The water monster is very sensitive to emotions. If you are as fearful and disgusting as the adults in the village, she must have run away long ago. Use the ring to coax you."

"Is that a booze?"

"Of course, she likes you very much and treats you as her own child."

Ruzius stood still suddenly and looked sideways at Arecio.

"The water monster will coax me, when will you coax me?"

Arecio stayed for a moment, but he had exercised his agile thinking all the year round, and he reacted in a second.

"Father's kind? I can do it now."

He showed his fangs to the neurosis, embraced every minute, and became a father and son every minute.

"..."

The neuropathy seemed to be angry and stopped talking to him. He stepped quickly to the front. Arecio felt that he was particularly annoying now. He happily asked all the way and took advantage of it. He stopped at the entrance of the stadium where Zelita lived. There is a huge pool here, and the awakened Zerita is resting here. At this moment, the water monster swims flexibly in the water. Except for a cluster of shadow roses growing on her chest, she looks nothing like other healthy young dark creatures. the difference.

Hearing the sound on the water surface, the shadow of the water monster walking in the water paused for a while, slowly approaching the edge of the pool, and when it was close to the edge of the pool, suddenly his head popped up, smiled at Arecio, and shouted at the same time.

"Arecio! Sir!"

Noah on the side smiled, he happened to be here today to follow up Zerita's rehabilitation work.

"Zelita is still learning languages, and she can only recognize you with this one at the moment."

Alessio stretched out his hand, and the water monster rubbed affectionately under his hand like a kitten, suddenly sank in the water, and suddenly popped his head, playing with Alessio in this form.

"Are there any other problems with the body?" Arecio carefully checked the blooming condition of the shadow rose according to the overly lively water monster, and found that Zerita's body was much better than when the rose was just planted. Rose should not have such a function.

The saint also leaned down beside him, the water monster seemed to be a little afraid of him, so he didn't stretch out his hand.

"Don't forget that the general environment has changed." He said, "Behemoth's recovery has brought about tremendous changes. Not only has the frequency of haze been significantly reduced, but also various measures against actinic diseases. , It also had a more obvious effect."

He turned his head to look at Arecio, with a gentle expression.

"This just shows that we are committed to changing the entire environment. It is a very correct choice. When the three pillars are fully recovered, the light and dark balance of this world will return to normal, and there will be no more light haze and actinic diseases, just like... ...The world we used to be."

Arecio was also touched in his heart. He looked at the water monster swimming happily in the water in front of him, lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Well, I also look forward to that day."

The water demon Zelita was confused and couldn't understand what they were saying. She flicked her tail and dived back to the bottom. When she came up, she held a ring made of stars and shells in her hand. She lifted the ring over her head and waved it, trying to show it to Alessio. As a result, she didn't control her body well, fell backward, turned around like a small wheel in the water, and then floated again and blinked.

Puff, Arecio smiled unkindly. He played with Zelita for a while, and watched him play with Zelita for a while. After the water monster yawned sleepily, today's visit came to an end.

But Arecio thought that he might have to come a few more times.

He quietly looked at the neuropathy next to him, and stared at the star circle several times. He also said that he had encountered water monsters when he was a child. Areciou thought, if possible, he would learn how to stick this thing from Zelita, and make a ring by himself, as a carnival gift for neurosis.

After making up his mind, Arecio remained calm. On the way back, they also met Lucy who came up from the emerald inner sea. The two sides greeted each other, and the Lich Girl hurried away.

Arecio: ...?

Not sure if it was an illusion, he felt Lucy was holding something in his hand.

*****

Lucy hurriedly returned to her room in the childcare center. She is basically able to take care of herself now. Dalf only occasionally helps her to clean the room together, and all the lovely and gorgeous decorations are also removed. Lucy plans to have a carnival. Change the style of your room before the holiday.

These are all digressions, and the top priority now is the thing she is holding in her hand.

Lucy walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and filled the sink with water, and then gently put the things in his hands into the sink. As her hand loosened, the creature gradually stretched out in the water, the whole body was translucent and milky white, with a colorful flowing piping on the edge. The mysterious creature is like a small jellyfish, fluttering in the pool.

[Ah, thank you, my guardian, I feel more comfortable. 】

The mysterious creature made a sound, and every word seemed to sing. His voice sounds like a female, but Lucy knows instinctively that this is a male god, and his voice is just because he symbolizes the sea where all things multiply.

"I didn't do anything." Lucy shook her head lightly, not showing merit. "I want to ask, what you said before, the deal the lich made with you ten thousand years ago..."

[Could it be that you are interested in that ancient story? 】

The jellyfish-like **** trembled, as if excited.

[I can tell you, I like to tell stories, or tortuous, or romantic, those stories...]

The **** was much more approachable than expected, and Lucy slowly relaxed. God began to wiggle long beard touches, and He exuded a strange soft light, slowly drifting up from the pool, and he could swim freely in the air. Seeing the Lich staring at him with wide eyes, God smiled.

[For me, it can be the sea anywhere. 】

[In the fresh water, in the air, in the wind, the fragrance of flowers, even...]

He slowly approached the Lich, and the colorful rainbow on the edge kept flowing.

[Even... The Sea of ​​Undead. 】

He raised his figure and began to cruise over the head of the Lich. The female voice fell, Lucy raised her head, and those words seemed to fall one by one into her black eyes burning with soul fire.

[Long, long ago, there was a princess...]

Lucy knows the first half of the story told by God, which was told by Arecio during the live game. How the princess died in the dungeon and turned into a lich, how the endless flower sea staged the feast of dragon slaying, she listened, as the story of God's mood fluctuated, and soon God spoke of a chapter that Alessio had not told.

[After Behemoth was destroyed, she might have realized something, that smart girl. She knew that dreams were also my sea, so she went deep into dreams to find me, and when she saw me, she knelt down. 】

The voice of God is cold and soft.

[I can't reveal her appeal to you, but I can tell you what I want her to do. I hope she will open the Sea of ​​Undead to me, so that I can hide from it and not follow the mistakes of the destroyed Behemoth. 】

[She agreed, those who are determined to destroy the Three Pillars really couldn't find me for a while. 】

[However, I finally found it. 】

God stopped floating, he hung upside down and approached Lucy, obviously without facial features or expressions, but Lucy felt the heavy sense of sadness.

[How beautiful she is with decisive eyes, the skeletal, dead king. She told me that she is the guardian, she will be killed by others; but I am a god, I should survive, and the three pillars must not collapse completely. 】

[She also said that she has a strong friend who will surely be able to conquer everything and avenge her. 】

[After saying this, she... went to die. 】

Lucy's eyelashes trembled, and she thought she was in tears, but when she raised her hand to wipe her tears, she found that she was not crying. She turned her head to look at the mirror on the side. In the mirror, a girl with black hair and black eyes was reflected. The soul fire was slowly burning in her eyes, and the girl's expression was quiet and firm.

She was a little stunned for a while, she didn't know that she could still show such an expression.

[This is the whole story, this is the story of the lich. 】

God let out a long sigh, submerged himself in the pool again, and his beard spread out softly.

[In the end, no one came to rescue her, nor did I rescue her...]

[Will she resent in her heart at the end? 】

"No!" Lucy didn't know why she was so excited. After she finished speaking, she slowly calmed down, "No, she won't do it. As she said, she has a friend."

"His name is Alessio, he is a powerful blood clan, and he is also... my friend."

Thinking of Alessio, the Lich Girl's eyes gradually filled with tender feelings.

"Alessi will take the scepter in her hand and move on. Not long ago, he took us to revive Behemoth in the earth."

[...If you say that, I really want to see him. 】

"...I will take you there."

God finally fell silent completely, at least in the last few days, He will not speak again after telling the story. When the Lich completely controls the sea of ​​undead and grows into a new qualified guardian, he will usher in a true resurrection.

At the same time, Arecio opened his eyes. Although it was late at night, he couldn't fall asleep. The fundamental reason was the silent singing in his ears.

He sighed, sat up, and couldn't remember what he was going to do. After sitting like this for a while, he remembered Lucy's recent need for bones, so he ordered a new batch of bones through a special channel. After he had done this, the singing stopped, but he didn't intend to continue to sleep.

He came to the window and looked at the rose that was gradually opening its buds under the moonlight.

Unconsciously, he put his hand on the neckline. There used to be a silver cross here, but it was destroyed in the decisive battle with Theo. He is still too impatient. If he is not eager to resist Theo, he may be able to catch up with the battle in the Sea of ​​Undead.

His fangs bit his lower lip.

That way, maybe the lich doesn't have to die.
