Chapter 388 The ultimate tragedy
Chapter 388 The Final Tragedy
On this afternoon, there were dark clouds, crackling thunder snakes, and a cold wind howling. It was clearly broad daylight, but not even a trace of light could be seen. In the Kurast harbor, the noisy trading market in the past was now empty, with only a few baskets left.
The basket was rolled around on the ground by the strong wind, and it was a depression, like the end of the world.
The sailors at Kurast Pier had already stopped all their work and hid in their small but very sturdy and safe wooden houses, murmuring towards the sea, glad that they were not at sea now, and at the same time
Praying silently for the brothers at sea, the residents of Kurast also stopped what they were doing early. The whole family lit a candle, and the unhappy father sat at the table and drank low-quality ale. At this time, the naughty son had better
Don't mess with him, or you'll just get a spanking.
There has never been a shortage of water in Kurast, so no one has any good feelings about the upcoming super heavy rain in the tropical rainforest. This heavy rain, which will last for an unknown period of time, has affected their work, which is very important to the poor.
This is a very fatal thing for people, even adventurers are affected, because it is impossible for the bar to be open in this kind of weather, and they don't want to go out to drink in this kind of weather.
Today is definitely an unknown day.
If there is anyone in Kurast who is the happiest right now, it is probably none other than Phoenix. He is so happy no matter how dark it is. However, the reason for his happiness has nothing to do with the weather, because
, he is about to confess his love to Oona, whom he has been in love with for a long time, and bid farewell to his single life.
The bright magic lamp flickered in the room, and Phoenix looked for a reason. He summoned Oona outside, and then quickly changed into an outfit - a clean, straight and slender sky blue magic robe, with a large fiery red breast pinned to the left chest.
Hua, wearing a gold belt around her waist, and a pair of elegant soft felt boots on her legs, her ten fingers were lined up side by side, with two golden rings on each finger, and she shook her hand like that. It's really a bit
As a result of the blinding technique, the delicate bangs that reached the eyebrows were parted, revealing a pair of extremely charming electric eyes (he thought).
In addition to these attire, he seemed to feel that it was not enough. He had already prepared a blank white crown from a certain upstart and put it on his head.
It's off the street - there's no one on the street now anyway.
This coquettish crown, coupled with the attire of a big man, can be described in one to four words - vulgar, perverted, nouveau riche.
Phoenix felt very good now. He hesitated again and again, and finally took out a silver ruby ring and a ruby necklace. Originally, he wanted to use the "flower cloth that is very important to women" as a proposal item.
But Brother Wu, the love saint, actually objected, and he had to listen. He was quite sorry, feeling that such tacky proposal items as rings and necklaces really couldn't express his unique charm as Phoenix.
It can be seen that I still really want to help him... What, why should I help this guy? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Your realm is not enough. People who are born to be tragic will not get rid of their tragic fate because of the help of others.
, with my full help, under the favorable circumstances of the right time, place and people, it is still tragic. This is the biggest highlight!!
There were footsteps outside the door, and Phoenix immediately sat upright. After a while, under the illumination of the magic lamp, Oona came back from fetching water and gently opened the wooden door.
"Sir Phoenix, if you want some water from the ground, I'll fetch it for you."
After falling in love for five or six days, the shy Oona still couldn't change her name. This made Phoenix feel a little awkward. But seeing Oona like this, he felt more and more worthy of pity. Hehe, Brother Wu's maid and ghost
Although my wife is beautiful, she is too tough. My little Oona is better.
Phoenix, who was very happy, moved the bangs on his forehead in a cool and elegant way, and the ten rings on his hand were clearly exposed with his movements. It was extremely dazzling and smelled of vulgar nouveau riche.
Absolutely, he learned this pose from Brother Wu. At that time, when he saw it, he felt that it was very chic and manly. He felt that he was worthy of being a love saint.
Seeing Phoenix's coquettish look, Oona pursed her lips and smiled, seemingly not taking it seriously. Perhaps, she was the only one suitable for someone like Phoenix...well...ahem...that one with more "avant-garde" ideas.
.
"Oona..."
Phoenix, who had been brewing for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed Oona's little hand. Oona seemed to feel Phoenix's determination, and suddenly flinched and twitched her hand, but did not pull away. She could only lower her head and put her hand on the ground.
His face was hidden in the shadows.
"Rumble--"
A thunderous snake flashed outside the window, and the white light illuminated Oona's face for an instant, reflecting her hesitant and struggling expression of pain.
"Oona, I... you... I... I want to... beg... beg... that... from you..."
When the critical moment came, Phoenix immediately stuttered. It was obvious that although this guy usually looked like a playboy, he was probably still a young man, a spinster in his fifties, uh...
"Oona, marry me!!"
Phoenix, who was willing to take the risk, handed the rings and necklaces to Oona, closed his eyes and shouted loudly. His voice covered the thunder and reached her ears clearly.
Upon hearing Phoenix's confession, Oona's face instantly showed a hint of happiness as a little woman, but soon turned gloomy again, and the pain and struggle in her eyes became even more intense.
Now that Master Phoenix has mustered up the courage to confess to me, it’s time for me to muster up the courage to tell the long-buried secret in my heart and respond to Master Phoenix. If it were him, he should be able to accept me like that...
…
With this thought in her mind, Oona, who had always been timid and weak, suddenly showed a resolute expression, making her soft face look a little more heroic. She did not take Phoenix's ring and necklace, but turned around and slowly came to
Looking up from the window, she looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds and twinkling lights. The white light illuminated her determined eyes. Then, she spoke softly.
"Lord Phoenix, do you know?"
When Phoenix heard Ona's voice, he opened his eyes and looked over. All he saw was Ona's delicate and depressed back, and the firm outline of her face. For a moment, Phoenix doubted that the person in front of him was not who he was.
The Oona I knew.
"Actually, I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw Lord Phoenix." Oona continued talking to herself.
"However, I have never dared to accept your love, Mr. Phoenix, and I have been delaying it for two years. Do you know why?"
"Yes, Oona, it's all my fault for being too carefree. I promise that after I have you, I will never look at another woman again."
Phoenix immediately replied, his face full of determination. His philandering was due to too many tragedies, which led to his uncertainty about love. Judging from his usual personality and habits, he should be relatively single-minded, and that
The kind of guy who takes the initiative to become a strict wife immediately after getting married.
"No...not the ground..."
It seemed that she had expected Phoenix to say this. Oona lowered her head and smiled softly.
"Actually, I don't mind Mr. Phoenix's efforts. Even if you marry a few more, I will accept it. No, please listen to me first. A commoner woman like me. How can I be liked by Mr. Phoenix?
What more can you ask for? So no matter what, I won’t mind you, sir.”
Phoenix was just about to interrupt Oona's words, and then made a vow, but was suppressed before he could speak. He looked at Oona's eyes without a trace of falsehood, and his head began to buzz with happiness - Could it be that this
Is this what Brother Wu said, the legendary harem route?!!
"I have always been unwilling to accept Mr. Phoenix. It is because I have a secret that has never been exposed to many others. It is a secret that is too difficult to reveal. I am afraid that Mr. Phoenix will dislike me because of it. That is why I have been avoiding your love."
Phoenix, whose brain was blown out, after hearing these words in a daze, quickly stopped and said it didn't matter, it didn't matter. Now he was already intoxicated in the beautiful fantasy.
Oona was obviously very cautious. She confirmed again and again. After getting the same answer from Phoenix, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, in that case, sir, please wait a moment while I go back to the room to get something..."
With that said, she turned around and walked out of the door. At this time, Phoenix finally woke up from his fantasy. Recalling what he had just said, he felt that it was no big deal. Such a gentle girl had some dirty secrets.
?Probably it’s all little things.
The lightning outside the window continued to wreak havoc, and the extremely white light illuminated the dim room into day time and time again. The shadows of the furnishings in the room also flickered, lengthened and shortened, adding a bit of gloominess to the look.
At this time, Oona's footsteps came in the distance, clicking... clicking... echoing in the corridor. It was probably a psychological effect. Phoenix was suddenly suffocated by this gloomy and heavy atmosphere.
He swallowed involuntarily.
"Acridine——"
The wooden door was opened, and Phoenix, whose nerves had reached a certain point, stared at Oona's hands, as if he wanted to see what amazing thing she wanted to show him. When his eyes touched what she was holding,
, her head tilted in confusion, this is a normal thing, isn't it the maid uniform Oona usually wears? Why did she bring this thing over? Could it be that she wanted to show it in front of her...
For a moment, Phoenix only felt that his face was red, his ears were red, his mouth was dry, and he almost had a nosebleed.
Oona held the maid uniform with an extremely solemn expression. The eyes that looked at Phoenix were full of surprise and fear about the future that was about to happen. However, if one looked carefully, one could detect a hint of hidden depth in them.
Deep passion.
Arriving in front of Phoenix, who had already begun to think about it, her face was so red that it was almost bleeding. In the end, she handed the thing in her hand to him with an expression that seemed to risk everything, just like Phoenix had just proposed.
.
Huh?
Phoenix, who came back to his senses, looked at Oona's movements and made a silly sound of surprise. He slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at himself as if unsure, and then made a gesture of putting it on.
"I?"
"kindness!!"
Oona nodded firmly, the fanatical look in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
"No. Don't! How can this be done?!"
At this moment, what was originally a normal black robe, white gauze apron, and cute maid uniform with pink ribbons in Oona's hands became a devil in Phoenix's eyes.
"Rumble--"
The white thunder snake flashed again, making Oona's suddenly pale face look even more bloodless. Tears of despair flowed down her beautiful face, but she seemed unaware, and her pupils gradually dimmed.
"I knew that this kind of hobby that is even more ugly and disgusting than rotting corpses. How could it be recognized by other people? It's really ridiculous. I naively thought that Mr. Phoenix would understand a little bit. Yes, something like this, like
This kind of thing...haha, hahaha——"
She suddenly laughed sadly and staggered. But she walked towards the window with clear purpose. With a bang, the closed window was opened, and the violent wind rolling with heavy rain outside immediately surged in as if it had found an outlet.
When he came in, the books and papers in the room were blown all over the sky, even the tables and chairs were knocked to the ground, and the whole room was instantly wet with the heavy rain.
Phoenix was suddenly shocked when he saw Oona stepping on the window edge like a puppet - this was the third floor!
"No!! Oona. Speak slowly and don't do stupid things!!"
Although he is a mage with a weak constitution, compared to adventurers, Phoenix's movements are already very agile compared to ordinary people. He screamed and rushed up, and pulled Oona down with one hand, who was about to seek death.
Holding each other in their arms. The heavy rain outside the window soon soaked the two people hugging each other tightly.
Looking down, Phoenix was shocked to find that Oona's eyes had completely lost their luster, and she was being held by him like a puppet. Suddenly, there was a hint of madness in it, as if she had figured something out.
He raised his little hand, gently caressed Phoenix's delicate face, and murmured to himself.
"Why is this? Why does God fool us like this? By the way. Mr. Phoenix, please die with me. When you become a girl in the next life, it should be okay. We will definitely meet again by then.
,Ha ha ha ha ha--"
Smiling like this, Oona suddenly broke away from Phoenix's embrace and pulled out a rusty hatchet from the corner - as a maid, she knew exactly what was in which room and where.
"Oona, calm down."
Phoenix seemed to have forgotten that as a job changer, he didn't have to be afraid of Ona's hatchet. When he saw her charging over with the hatchet without hesitation, he quickly dodged away with a scream.
"Crack-"
Although Oona is weak, the maid also has a lot of heavy work, and she works all day long, so how can her strength be so weak? Coupled with the current supernormal outbreak, it is even more terrifying. With a knife, the black wood behind Phoenix is solid
The big table made a crisp cracking sound and collapsed completely, turning into a pile of waste wood.
Under the black sky with flashing lightning, in the dark house, an extremely brutal chase was going on. A weak girl with a pale face and dull eyes was smiling foolishly and slashing with all her strength with the bright hatchet in her hand.
In front of her, the wizard in a sexy bag was running around holding his head. Thunder flashed from time to time, just like a murder in a thunderstorm, and the pale white light made the scene even more terrifying.
Brother Wu, I have always followed your method. What went wrong and why is it like this?
While Phoenix was hiding from the hatchet in embarrassment, he was lamenting heavily with tears in his eyes, but he also knew that this was not the fault of the other party. Until a few minutes ago, everything was going smoothly according to plan, but he couldn't figure it out.
Why did things develop to this point in just a moment?
Brother Wu, Lord Qingsheng, please give me a solution to the problem.
While thinking this way, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the last words the other party told him: Phoenix, listen carefully, there is no such thing as a seamless plan in this world. As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes, although according to this
method, your success rate is high, but accidents cannot be ruled out, but no matter what happens, you just need to remember one sentence.
Love her and tolerate everything about her.
A flash of white thunder seemed to hit Phoenix's head, making him suddenly realize. At this time, he felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart - a gleaming golden body slowly fell from the top of the sky.
, he holds the piano in one hand and points to the sky with the other. There is a smile on the corner of his mouth, which shines brightly. Yes, he is Wu Fan - the Saint of Love!!
"Oona, listen to me!!"
He suddenly turned around, grabbed Oona's wrist, and shouted loudly.
"I was just wrong, no matter what it is, I will accept it, because, I! Love! You!"
There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the hatchet in Oona's hand slowly fell, hitting Phoenix's foot...
"Woo~~"
She regained her consciousness and her eyes glowed again. She was slowly held in Phoenix's arms, crying softly.
"Really?" Oona asked in disbelief.
"Really!!" Phoenix's voice was sonorous and powerful, and there was no hint of perfunctoryness.
"...You really don't lie to me?" asked again.
"Really!" replied again
Oona asked over and over again without being convinced. Phoenix also took the trouble to answer over and over again.
"Do you really want to wear these clothes?"
The corner of his mouth froze, and feeling Oona's eyes full of expectation and enthusiasm, Phoenix nodded while crying.
"Yes, of course I do."
The secret in her heart was finally revealed to someone, and the hesitation that had been weighing on her heart for many years was relieved. At this moment, Oona's smile was brighter and more beautiful than at any time. Seeing Oona Phoenix like this was also sincerely happy.
There was just a "pop" in his heart, and he always felt that he seemed to have lost something important, wuwu...
On the other side, there was a vast expanse of white fog with no end in sight. I didn’t know how long I had been walking inside, but this fog seemed to be endless. It would never end.
"well--"
I don’t know how long it took. A sigh of endless vicissitudes finally broke the eternal loneliness in this fog. Following the sound, the fog seemed to be pushed away by an invisible big hand, and the scene in front suddenly became clear from hazy.
An ordinary sword appeared in the mist.
"Yo, who are you?"
"..."
"Okay, it's just a joke. It must be Evelina. I remember it clearly."
"It's Everlia, you bastard." It finally couldn't help but complain.
"Why are you obsessed with names?"
"Then you might as well change your name to Tuzki. From now on I will call you Tuzki."
This guy seems to be particularly easy to get angry when it comes to names. Didn't he just change his name? Wow! I really shouldn't have gotten so excited when chatting with him that I brought up Tuzki, a product of Mars, as a joke.
"Okay, let's each make a concession and stop arguing on this issue. Evelina, why didn't you show up earlier and make me stay here for so long?"
"No, you bastard didn't give in at all. You just wanted me to give in alone, right?" After such angrily complaining, he paused and then continued.
"As for the latter question, it's actually very simple. I've been less than ten meters away from you. I'm really curious why you keep walking around me and just refuse to come over."
"..."
"..."
"I...ahem, I'm taking a walk...ahem, you should say something. If you don't ask me to come over, how can I have the nerve to visit?"
"Ah~~, I'm just curious to see how lost you can be..." Avlia's voice was long and full of malicious secret joy that could not be concealed.
I was fooled by this guy...
"What happened again this time?"
I felt a lot depressed after I had a big crush on Avelia. I picked my ears and asked casually.
"That's a good question." Avlia straightened her voice, then...
"But let me think about it first, what exactly is it?"
"You can forget such a thing?!" Hoho, is this rotten sword just looking for a fight?
"It's not because you have been lost for so long." Avlia retorted not to be outdone.
Sorry, you just know how to talk about my weakness, just wait and see, one day, I will break into the world with my seventh sense, tremble in front of me, you stupid sword of ignorance.
After a while, it seemed to remember something and suddenly opened its mouth pretending to be deep.
"The gears of fate have begun to turn, and no one can stop it..."
"Go to hell!!"
I interrupted it without hesitation. I never believe in fate!
Then, darkness fell before my eyes. It seemed that because of my resistance, my consciousness left the fog and fell into darkness again.
"Idiot, I just want to tell you that your career has advanced."
Chapter completed!
