In the deep corridor, wearing a white priest robe and a faint face, Joshua slowly appeared in Xialanweni's sight. He and Virgin were preparing to follow the instructions of Director Allagonagon and broke into the stone gate to pursue them, because the strength of the two of them alone was not enough to be useful in the fight against Deniochen, and it was more than enough to deal with the escaped murderers.

Especially the importance of the murderous girl to Deniochen is self-evident. As long as she can capture the girl, she will inevitably force Deniochen to surrender. The clinker was intercepted like a madman. Even with the cover of Director Allagon and others, both of them could not get close to the stone gate. However, just when they were at a loss, the Great Elder Salania led countless black camel knights to suddenly appear in the arena in a strong manner, and the soldiers pointed directly at everyone present. A chaotic and tragic battle began.

Dannyson, who was guarding the stone gate, naturally became the key target of attack for the Black Camel Knights to be fearless. Even if they were not strong, under the cooperation of the battle formation and the crazy offensive, Dannyson, who was as powerful as Dannyson, gradually felt unable to do so. Joshua took advantage of the opponent's secret defensive gap and forced Virginian into the stone gate.

"Adelena Georgia, Drankshalan, and...Brancia Winnie."

Joshua looked at them quietly, calling out everyone's name without any emotion, from Valderin in Ortori to Elanison, from Grammouthson to cross the vast Salanian Desert, after the turn of summer and autumn, and with great ups and downs, now, he has finally come to the other party.

During this long journey, the thought of revenge or repaying kindness seemed to have long been forgotten, but what he had been seeking in his heart never got an answer.

He is a recognized genius in the Church of St. Rock of Valderin, the youngest priest, the most promising candidate for bishops in the future, and may even be qualified as a Son.

He was born in a church and ailing house. He was cold and bullied since childhood. It was not until his shocking moments when he selected an apprentice priest. It turned out that all the children who offended him were afraid, but in fact Joshua had no intention of paying attention to them.

Sometimes, he is like a person without self-feeling. He can only act according to other people's instructions, whether he believes in the teachings of the Glory Church or practices the use of Glory Power. Once, Chad joked that his niece was about to get married. When asked if Joshua was interested in marrying, Joshua did not refuse. Chad immediately prepared for this matter. He was afraid that he would regret it.

He had no feelings for his wife. It was purely because Chad was good at making decisions and forcibly married his niece to him. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Joshua's future was infinitely bright, and Chad's behavior was completely an emotional investment.

His wife is not beautiful, but she is very virtuous. She takes care of the family affairs every day. She knows her marriage well and has no complaints about her uncle Chad's way of marrying her to Joshua. After all, she married Valdrin's best man. If Valdrin's powerful people knew that Joshua had the idea of ​​marrying a wife, it would probably not be her turn to marry Joshua. Perhaps the only thing that makes her sad is that Joshua never had a couple with her, even if she wanted a child to relieve her loneliness.

Joshua could not have had to leave Valderin, but he was determined to leave this city that had lived for more than 20 years to pursue the whereabouts of the murderer. Others thought he was going to avenge Chad, and Bolin thought he wanted to break through the boundaries of the law, but Joshua was not very clear about the real reason.

He wanted to come, so he came.

He wanted to leave, so he left.

As the saying goes, mortals do not understand the world of geniuses, and geniuses often cannot understand the ideas of geniuses. And geniuses do not understand the ideas of geniuses themselves?

Joshua was confused, confused about the reasons for living in this world.

He has an inexplicable cognition buried deep in his heart.

His life trajectory was fixed in Valderin.

The people around you, the things around you, and everything around you are false existences that change according to a certain established trajectory.

But he never reveals his true thoughts to others.

Until he met Xia Lan and others' appearance, he found that his indifferent state of mind had a strange throbbing.

It was this throbbing that guided him to pursue the whereabouts of Xia Lan and others. He had a premonition that perhaps he could find the answers in them that he had been confused about life.

"Winnie! Don't pay attention to him! Take me to the platform right away."

Xia Lan on the ground used her last strength to roar at Winnie who was dragging him, and directly called her back to her in a state of loss.

"well!"

Winnie responded quickly, holding Xia Lan's arms with both hands crawling on the corpse of the Death Worm and dragging it desperately.

"This is a dead end. Why do you have to struggle indifferently? Or... what's ahead to make you live?"

Joshua approached them step by step, and because the corpse of the Death Worm covered most of the vision in front of him, he asked this question in particular, as he could not see the situation behind the corpse.

As a result, Winnie, who was determined to drag Xia Lan, did not pay attention to it, let alone Xia Lan, who was exhausted and Adelina, who was unconscious next to the corpse.

Since no one is willing to answer, Joshua can only find the answer himself.

In just one step, he jumped over the body of the Death Worm and landed on the platform where the Book of Gold was placed.

"A book cast by gold?"

Seeing the things in front of you, Joshua couldn't help but look at them carefully. In addition to the strange and faint energy fluctuations, the content presented in the book was particularly interesting. Unfortunately, he did not understand the words describing the meaning in the book.

"Is this your trump card for survival?"

Joshua no longer cared about the book of gold, and his eyes moved back to Winnie, who was struggling to drag Xialan.

When Winnie heard the sound from the platform, her hands loosened and Xia Lan, who had lost her support center of gravity, immediately slid on the body of the Death Worm, and a helpless and melancholy smiled in her heart.

It's over, everything is over.

Is this considered self-bound?

Winnie suddenly remembered Adrina. If Xia Lan was not in a hurry to give her medicine and knock her out, they might still have room to struggle and resist. But now, Xia Lan was beaten to a useless person by Denniochen. How could she, a weak woman, deal with the powerful enemy in front of her?

"Your Excellency! We are not the real culprit you want to arrest. Please show your kindness and let us live a life."

Winnie knelt on her legs, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she begged for mercy to Joshua in a pitiful look.

"Brancia Winnie, a member of the Alchemy Society of the Royal Capital of Adria, disappeared in the year of Hongni, and later found that he followed Drankshalan to Sissinia and participated in the conspiracy war of restoration of the royal family. In the middle of the journey, under the protection of mercenaries, he left Drankshalan to Port Louis in the Esdaq City State, and was engaged to the local dark chess that subverted the fangs. On the day of the riots in Port Louis, Sir Lawlands had no news and initially suspected that he was dead. The murderer Adelena destroyed Port Louis and fled on a boat and was hijacked with the local alchemist Magnison... After our investigation and understanding, you will be very likely to be acquitted in the trial as a victim."

Joshua said calmly about Winnie's life, as if he didn't care about her begging for mercy. He didn't put the topic on Xia Lan until he reached the conclusion.

"But the evidence of many crimes in Drankshalan is conclusive and the crime is unforgivable. If necessary, you can directly allow the shooting to be killed without trial."

"...If possible, can I trade my life for him to live?" Winnie said in silence for a long time with her head down.

"Judgement is not allowed." Joshua said expressionlessly.

Winnie closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. No one knew what she was thinking for a while.

She turned her head and looked at Xia Lan, but was shocked to find that he was lying on the body of the Death Worm and was struggling and staggering towards the platform.

He still didn't give up, he still insisted.

What attracted him to do whatever he wanted at the platform?

Winnie stood up silently, she came to Xia Lan, held his arm again and dragged forward.

bite--

An arrow made of golden light shot suddenly in front of Winnie's drag.

"The second time, kill me, don't worry."

Joshua's cold voice came.

Winnie glanced at the glorious arrow that began to dimly, and then continued to move forward.

puff--

Winnie suddenly shook her body and she stared at her eyes. Without bowing her head, she could see a glorious arrow with bright red blood flowing from behind her back to her chest.

Joshua's warning is nothing false.

Xia Lan, who noticed the strangeness, opened her dark and deep eyes, saw the blood hole shot out by the radiant arrow in Winnie's chest, and he saw the pain that Winnie showed. But... he didn't know why she was doing this!

Winnie dragged Xia Lan and moved again.

Six or seven brilliant arrows floated around Joshua. Whenever Winnie took a step forward, an arrow would shoot out and a new arrow would appear. When the seventh arrow shot through Winnie, she finally couldn't hold on and fell down.

Winnie used her seven steps to walk out of life. She successfully dragged Xia Lan over the body of the Death Worm, only a few steps away from the platform.

"Why do you do this?"

Xia Lan turned her head and looked at the dying Winnie beside her. His face was confused and puzzled, but there was no other emotion.

Her body was covered with blood holes, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. Seeing that her life was about to last, she trembled and stretched out her hand to stroke his cheek, and she was smiling inexplicably.

"Do you know what a woman's greatest pain is?"

“…”

"That is to be abandoned by your beloved person. This pain is not only strong, but also will never be forgotten..."

“…”

"I used to think that I could forget you after falling in love with others, because I knew that you did not belong to me, not any woman, you only belong to yourself, but in the end I still couldn't suppress my true feelings, and I was foolishly immersed in my illusory dream that did not belong to me like a moth to a fire."

"I am jealous of Adrina, because you, who is so rude to me, gave her the dream I always wanted. Even if this dream is a temporary falsehood, I don't care. I only care that I have never had it, but you gave it to others..."

“…”

"So, Adelina must die, she must die in your hands to let go."

“…”

Winnie's voice became weaker and weaker. She had tried to look at Xia Lan's face with her tired eyes open.

If I never met in my life, I am still the same me, and I occasionally dream.

If I had never met in my life, I would not have known that there was such a you in the world.

If I had never met in my life, I wouldn't know that I was used to collecting your smile.

If I had never met in my life, I would not have experienced the loneliness and sorrow of a person.

If I have never met in my life, I am still me, and you are still you, but I have missed the most brilliant adventure in my life."

If there is a next life, will I meet you again?

Winnie slowly closed her eyes, and a smile called happiness remained on the corner of her mouth before her death.

The girl who once dreamed of becoming the best pharmacist in the world, at this moment, her dream is over. (To be continued.)
