Can you temporarily control her?
Sirius, who was in the shield with Shad, asked, Shad nodded:
The light of imprisonment!
The silver halo flew out and directly wrapped around the neck of Sirius who was smoking black smoke. The real Sirius had a strange look on his face, but he still stepped forward and hugged her so that she would not fall to the ground:
I know you're hating, but he's a father after all. Before he left, I wasn't raised by wind and rain.
The figure emitting black smoke seemed to sob a few times, and then disappeared. Some white silk threads were attached to Sirius' wrist, and she didn't avoid them, but felt the resentment and memories of the past. For those of us ring magicians who believe in our Lord [Forgotten Old Man], the power of memory is stronger than other Ring Warlock is more important.
As if afraid of Shad's worry, Sirius explained to Shad, and Shad also understood that Sirius' power had been enhanced.
And when Sirius fully experienced the newly acquired power, when she looked at Shad behind her, Shad couldn't understand the meaning in her eyes at the moment:
Let's move on.
There was no enemy in the third confession cabinet, but the vague male voice just now.
So Shad and Sirius walked in again, and after closing the door, Sirius made a second confession in the dark:
Father, I am guilty. I know that only self-sacrifice can save this land, but I am greedy for the warmth of living people, and the prosperity of the world. There are many people who have sacrificed voluntarily, but I... resist this choice.
you.....
Shad tried to speak, but Goldilocks covered his mouth directly.
A voice from the other side of the inner wall said:
Cherishing our own life is the best way for us as mortals to be grateful to the world. Maybe the sacrifices work, but maybe, there are other ways.
Yes, there are other ways.....but there will be other sacrifices. I.....
I see. So if it really comes to the last minute, are you willing to sacrifice?
Yes, to save those I love. So, you are not selfish.
There was another sound of metal rubbing against the ground, and Xia De got the second mirror fragment from the gap under his feet.
He said to Sirius very seriously:
As I have already said, I have a solution, and it is not up to your ego to sacrifice.
The young girl watched him from a close distance in the dark: I will obey you. But what if, what if you fail? I will not fail.
Arrogance is the original sin. Xia De blinked:
If I fail, it means I'm dead. After that, I can't control what you want to do. But someone has to sacrifice. If I sacrifice, I hope that I can die for some value. At least I don’t need a second victim. The premise of this happening is that I am already dead, and you want to be with me Do I discuss this topic? Do you want to talk to me about how I'm going to die?
There was a little sadness on the beautiful face of the blonde girl: you will not die, and no one will die.
Xia De smiled:
You see, this topic needs no discussion. Therefore, there is no need to discuss whether you need to sacrifice.
Together they walked out of the third confessional closet and opened the fourth.
Because of his previous experience, Xia De immediately dodged to the side after opening the door, avoiding the memory thread shot from inside.
And this time, the one who came out of the door was Sirius who yelled "I don't want to die."
Still Xia De subdued her with the light of imprisonment, and Sirius stepped forward to hug the girl who was exactly like him:
Don't panic, don't be sad, we are all greedy for the temperature of the living, but I am sure that I will never die, because...
She looked back at Xia De, without saying anything, and the girl who was hugged by her was also looking at Xia De. After a moment of silence in the dark confessional
, Xia De heard someone say thank you. The girl who was emitting black smoke disappeared again, and the white thread of memory was still attached to Sirius' body. But this time, the life ring behind Sirius directly appeared. The brass enlightenment element representing the power of civilization engraved the seven-ring enlightenment rune [Sacrifice] for her. The blonde girl pursed her lips and looked at the empty bosom, and it took a long time before she stood up. Although she didn't look at Xia De at the moment, Xia De somehow understood the weakness in her heart. So he walked over and wanted to hug her, but Sirius avoided him:
So the two came to the fifth confession cupboard, and the vague voice still asked what they wanted to confess.
After entering the confession cabinet this time, Sirius was silent for a while before saying:
Father, I am guilty. I'm jealous. Who are you jealous of?
This time, Sirius was not as determined as the previous two times: my friend. I'm jealous of her beauty, I'm jealous of her courage, I'm jealous of her...relationship with...another best friend of mine.
She suddenly chuckled in Xia De's ear, and Xia De understood immediately, so he pretended that he was deaf at the moment, and shrank in the corner without saying a word.
I know it's not right, but I'm still jealous. She has almost everything and I have nothing. She's still my best friend, and always will be, but she and he...
The vague man's voice actually laughed:
In love and war, any means, any emotion can be forgiven... as long as it is legal. Sirius, there is nothing wrong with that, go after your heart. Don't, never, be ashamed of your life.
With the sound of rubbing, the last fragment of the mirror slid out from under his feet. After Shade picked it up, he found that the three fragments just formed a complete mirror.
The mirror is not a relic, but a strange alchemy item, but unfortunately, Xia De is not its owner, so even if he uses the mirror to look at himself, nothing happens.
After leaving the fifth, cramped prayer closet, Shad handed the mirror to Sirius. The latter pointed the mirror at her face, and then her hands trembled suddenly, causing the mirror to fall directly on the ground. She backed away in horror, and after being supported by Xia De, they saw the mirror on the ground together. The mirror surface is emitting white light.
A figure emerged from the light. It was not a stranger, but Mr. Lathers, Siris' father. Wearing a brown robe, he looks exactly like the Guardian. However, when he noticed his expression and saw his expression when he looked at Sirius with concern, Xia De somehow understood that this was definitely not an emotionless guardian. Father.....
Sirius seemed to force the word out of his throat, and Shad wondered what version of Mr. Lathers this was. Fortunately, there is no need for him to ask. Mr. Lassus, who appeared from the mirror light, took the initiative to speak:
Sirius, you've grown up... I'm really glad to meet you, but your presence also means... I am, before the last step on the path to the Guardian Trials , the memory divided by the magic of the religious order.
The expressions of concern, sadness and guilt on the middle-aged man's face are definitely not faked:
I leave the last piece of memory here. On the one hand, I hope to guide you to go on in the possible future. On the other hand, it is also for... Sorry, Sirius, I know what I have done I have made a decision, and I know what this decision means, but sometimes, adults just have to face choices that they have to face.
Can you talk?
Xia De finally asked, and the figure looked at Xia De: It has not been more than fifteen years since I left this memory. The memory wear is not very serious, and a simple conversation can be carried out.
He noticed Shad's movement of helping Sirius, but he didn't express any opinion.
Back then, you left me and the religious order just to...
For this land. In the process of my investigation, I knew the existence of the guardian, and I was aware of the existence of the earth
The mighty power of the heart also understood the meaning of what they did.
Why leave without saying goodbye, at least you can leave a letter. Xia De also asked, and then noticed that the girl leaning on his arms was trembling slightly.
All previous guardians disappeared inexplicably. We can't leave any clues about our own departure~www.mtlnovel.com~ To find us, we can only
force
Through the trials and tests step by step.
When Mr. Lathers said this, his expression became serious:
Sirius, since you've come this far, you should understand what I'm talking about. If you are willing to continue on this path, I wish you well and am glad that my daughter has chosen this path as well. The next goal, in the basement of this church, you need to solve the riddle I left behind.
What if she doesn't want to?
Xia De asked, Mr. Lathers seemed to have thought that he would ask:
Sirius has grown up, and I have given her the responsibility and the choice. Although I am still her father, I no longer have any power to restrain her and plan her life path. If Sirius is not willing to proceed to the next step, I respect her decision and hope that...
Looking at his daughter:
I wish you happiness in this life, my daughter. Sorry, I can't watch you grow up, but if you have made up your mind, just leave, get married and have children like normal people, and then watch them grow up healthy. Don't be me, an irresponsible adult like me. Never mind this church, take the Golden Dawn, leave Randall's Valley, never come back, never...
The last sentence was intermittently very vague, and the white light emerging from the mirror also began to flicker until it suddenly went out. In the last vague words, Xia De only heard an apology.
The light disappeared, and the prayer room fell into darkness again, but Shad could still see Sirius' face. The blonde girl stared at the mirror in front of her in a daze, and then Xia De sighed.
