Chapter 12 I said, there should be light!
When Emma returned to the foot of the hill, she found that there was something wrong with Meiji.
He sat alone under the yew and looked extremely depressed. And Princess Sophia and Queen Tinwell just stayed in the distance and looked at him helplessly.
Emma walked to Sophia and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness... What's wrong with that guy?"
The princess sighed and led Emma to find a place to sit down. Just now, several people from Longburg passed by, and Meiji ran to find out the news from them. She said, "It turned out that the army of the Marquis of Lianting occupied Longburg and drove out the former servants of Alicena and Mickey. The manor that Baron Michelna gave to Anna's parents before his death was also taken back. They left Longburg together and didn't know where they went.
"Alina? Lemon Mickey's tutor?"
"Hmm." Princess Sophia nodded, "Yummon Mikina left a will before she died and left Longenburg to Alice. I signed that document, but now..."
Emma naturally knows what she didn't say. Now, Princess Sophia has been declared dead, and Alina is not of noble origin, so the Marquis of Listin can occupy Longenburg as long as he finds any excuse.
"Your Highness, what is the relationship between Meiji and Mickey's family?" Emma asked puzzledly. She had planned to rob several black crystal mines belonging to Longenburg. Naturally, she had done a lot of investigation into Mickey's house. Before that conflict, she had never heard of such a person as Meiji.
"I don't know," Sophia whispered. "All I know is that he cares about Alina."
Meggie has never told anyone that he had become a "mon" for a while, and he hasn't even told Anna. Therefore, neither Sophia nor Emma naturally understands his concern for Alina. In his heart, Alice has replaced the figure of Black Annes, who raised him, and became the symbol of the word "mother".
Actually, Alina is not very old, only in her twenties, only a little older than Sophia. In this period of imminent civil strife, Meiji is really worried about her. And Anna, has Anna returned to her parents? Is she with Alina again?
Where can they go?
Meggie really can't be relieved.
It's just that he doesn't have time to find them now. He must first protect Sophia to go to Dilu County, and even if he finds them now, the vampire named Wind Soul may hurt them in revenge on him.
Last night, he was able to successfully defeat the wind soul and save Tinuvir, largely because the wind soul was too careless. The boy did not think of the magic that the gestures and spells exerted by Meiji were almost exactly the same as the "flash", but the effect was to open a space crack to attract the sunlight.
Next time, it will be difficult for Meji to have such good luck.
In the afternoon, they began to bypass Hullenburg, but they didn't walk fast. They clearly understand that it is impossible to get rid of the wind and soul by speed. They can only maintain their strength as much as possible to prevent him from making a comeback at night.
The sky is getting dark, and they are becoming more and more cautious. Because they don't know when and from which direction the boys will come, the pressure on them is also huge, as if they were walking in the abyss purgatory.
In the middle of the night, they arrived at the Ailey River in front of them.
*
The river shatters the sparkling light, making the full moon reflected in it seem fragmented. Some low shrubs spread across the river, and occasionally some nightbirds startled.
They saw the wind soul.
The boy stood on the water. He was like a ghost dancer, constantly sliding and spinning, with a dreamlike elegance.
Meji was shocked and quickly began to cast spells. Soon, a space crack appeared above the head of the wind soul.
However, the wind soul did not dodge. He just opened his arms and raised his head, as if he were declaring something to the world.
"I said there should be light." There was a mockery in the boy's voice.
Then the light appeared.
The beam of light drawn by the space crack shines on his body, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding night. And he is like a god who is rendering miracles, and his skin is covered with a wonderful luster under the strong light.
"What's going on?" Meiji asked in shock. Why did the same spell fail him this time?
Emma replied coldly, "This is just his incarnation."
"Incarnation? What is that?"
"It's something similar to projection and mimicry," Emma explained impatiently. "It just looks more real and is an entity."
"Well... Humph, pretending to be mysterious. I want to scare me like this. There's no way. It's not so easy for me to be scared by him." Meji said as she wiped the cold sweat on her head.
Emma gave him a contemptuous look. This guy only knows how to brag...
"Sister," the boy on the water slowly stretched out his hand to her, "Will you be my bride? We can be together, because we won't hurt!"
"You don't deserve it." Emma answered without hesitation.
The boy's expression stagnated, and a spark of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Hey," Meggie asked in a low voice next to the girl, "Will this hurt the children too much?"
Emma was too lazy to pay attention to him and still stared at the boy on the water: "Also, don't call me sister. That's your sister. She's still in the Golden Temple.
"No." But the boy shouted, "What qualifications does she have to be my sister?" He kept saying that he would protect me and take care of me, but he would only cry in pain. She cried so annoyingly. Why did she lie to me when she didn't have the ability? She is just a fool, a useless fool. She will hurt. If it hurts, she won't be beautiful. She is no longer beautiful. Sister, you won't hurt either, will you? We won't hurt."
"You're wrong. You're much stronger than you. You're the useless one." Emma said indifferently.
Meggie, Sophia and Tinuville all stared at them and didn't understand what they were talking about.
The maintenance time of the beam of light has arrived, and it suddenly disappeared. The boy still stood on the water and looked inexplicably gloomy and strange. He lowered his head, with a sneer on the corners of his mouth, and said slowly with an indescribable resentful tone, "Sister, you're lying!" The liar is also not beautiful... You are no longer beautiful!"
Around, a corpse came out of the dark corner and surrounded them.
"You seem to have pissed him off." Meiji whispered beside Emma.
Emma just said lightly, "If you want to compare with me, he is far worse than necromancer."
The bodies began to rush towards them. However, Emma just waved a bone whip and stretched out countless hands from the ground to grab their feet. A white bone crawled out with soil and soon fought with those corpses.
The boy stretched out his hand on the water and held it gently. All the bodies suddenly burst open. The air surged and stirred up flying dust. Meiji quickly opened a protective boundary and protected everyone in it. Emma also touched the black necklace on her neck and called out "Tannis" and "Caramom" to guard Sophia and Tinuvir.
The boy's figure suddenly disappeared, and then countless ghosts flew around them, making a howl that hit their souls. Meiji covered her ears and couldn't stop this horrible sound.
Emma slapped the bone whip on the ground, the ground cracked, and an ugly goblin came out. The goblin opened its mouth and screamed. In time, all the ghosts retreated.
"Sister, this is just the beginning." The sound of the wind soul came from a corner of the hair.
A burst of darkness surged in, and Meggie quickly cast a spell to dispel the darkness with a flash, but it didn't work. Obviously, this darkness does not come from magic, but from a power. Emma calmed down and listened. A wind came into her ear, and she quickly cut off the bone whip.
However, she took a step slower and heard Princess Sophia humming, as if she had been hit by something.
The darkness retreats.
Emma looked nervously and found that Sophia had fallen to the ground, covered with a layer of gray stone skin.
"Powerful decline!" Meiji muttered bloodless.
This is the most dangerous magic effect, which can make the body of people with this effect begin to shrink slowly, and even advanced magic cannot be removed. Only by killing the caster or letting the caster release it by himself can the person who has been defeated by force can he recover.
"Sister, this princess is dying." The voice of the wind soul lingered, "Originally, they were going to take her back alive, but now she has become so ugly. Such an ugly person, look at the scars on her face and her hands that have turned into coke. It's so ugly..."
"Hit!" Emma shouted coldly.
Tinuvir guarded Sophia and was so anxious to shed tears. And Meiji was helpless for a moment.
What to do...
