Chapter 29

【29--】

"Is this your decision, Xiaolan?"

"Yes."

The boy who got the confirmation raised the emerald wand in his hand to the knight who raised his head without repeating any further words.

As if responding to the young man's movements, the gemstone on the head of the staff glowed with green light, and the stardust flashed and emerged one after another, just like the legendary St. Elmo's fire that guards the sailors lingering around Xiaolan, intimate and clear, to embrace The devil's knights gather...

All of this is the memory of Demon King Xiaolu.

Finally able to calm down a little because of the memories, Xiaolan blinked slowly and half-beat, and then realized belatedly: she was hugging the devil tightly and did not let go.

In terms of delicate emotions, Xiaolan knows that he is a beginner from the beginning, the current situation frightens his heart to take off immediately, and the blood red rises rapidly, until steam bursts out of his head.

However, when he was so embarrassed that he wanted to let go and push away, he was caught tightly by the opponent's arms.

"Little, little green?" Xiaolan panicked, worried that the other party had just woken up, so she didn't even dare to raise doubts forcefully.

Adjusting to a more comfortable angle, Xiaolu never let go, unable to tell whether it was as if nothing had happened or was confident, "So, what's the situation now?"

"Part of your character data is diverted to my side." Xiaolan tried her best to explain, "But don't worry, it won't affect your memory, and I can't see those contents either!"

Xiaolu turned her eyes, "Why do you want to share my character data?"

"The reason why you became dead before was because your character data was overloaded."

"You didn't file back directly for me..." Xiaolu was a little surprised, she let go of her hug and met Xiaolan's gaze, "Didn't the main program find that I kept my [soul fragment]?"

"No, he knows." Shaking her head and saying this, Xiao Lan took out a soft and diffuse sphere and handed it over, "So, I'll give you this back."

Xiaolu took it and crushed it directly in her hand.

Seeing the ball of light turn into dust, Xiao Lan's eyes widened in surprise, "Why...?"

"Because it's no longer needed, it was just in case." As if thinking of something, Xiaolu looked at Xiaolan's smile quietly becoming more gentle, faintly satisfied, "Fortunately, it didn't work."

Seeing this smile in a daze for a moment, Xiao Lan suddenly regained her composure, lowered her head as if trying to hide something, and remained silent.

This reaction was really abnormal, causing Xiaolu to look sideways calmly, and at the same time think about it for a while...

"What do you know?" Xiaolu asked with certainty.

Stirred by this blunt question, Xiaolan struggled to squeeze out the words: "The matter of the emerald wand..."

Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly became bewildered.

"It's no wonder the main program is gone, and it's no wonder..." Changing her embrace and tightening her arms, Xiaolu took advantage of the opportunity to wipe off the tear stains on Xiaolan's other cheek, and said softly like a sigh, "I just When you woke up, you looked like that."

Xiaolan frowned unbearably in pain.

long silence.

"Why do you..." Trying to suppress the trembling caused by excitement and heartache, Xiaolan tried her best to maintain the calmness of her words, "The emerald wand is your exclusive weapon, why... sacrifice yourself?"

Originally, I was simply wondering why the main program would use the magic wand to perform this data shunting, but Xiaolan didn't expect the main program to tell herself: The reason why the demon king Xiaolu is so proficient in controlling the form of the magic wand is because he and Xiaolan are related to the holy sword. Same.

What is "the same as Xiaolan's holy sword"?

——Sacrifice yourself in exchange for the full awakening of the weapon.

"Hey—" Hearing the unbearable pain between the words, Xiaolu, who didn't let go, asked with great interest, "Xiaolan feels uncomfortable?"

Xiaolan didn't reply, she still lowered her head, letting the shade of her hair cover his expression at the moment.

"It's just an insurance measure." Xiao Luyun smiled lightly and said casually, "After all, I don't want to see too many uncontrollable factors."

Little Green has long accepted his limitations calmly - he is just the devil of the game world, not the all-knowing main god in it.

For example, in fact, Xiaolu was not sure at the beginning: after the Sapphire Holy Sword is fully awakened, can it transfer or return the power to Xiaolan?

only……

"Although the hope is slim, as long as there is still a chance, I will try my best." Xiaolu rested her chin lazily on the opponent's shoulder, and said in a crisp and indifferent voice, "If the probability is not caught, then try it a few times." There is always a way, even if I might not find it in my whole life, but if I don’t try, how will I know?”

Since the emerald wand is a weapon of the same level as the sapphire holy sword, let's do some experiments first.

That's it.

As for fighting for the dominant position with the wand afterwards, training the control of the wand after atomization... those were never the focus.

"I know what I want." He raised his hand and patted the knight's head soothingly. The devil's tone was gentle, without any hesitation. Allegiance is always to wishes—these are never directly related to reason.”

(—So, Xiaolan, you have to work hard to survive.—)

Recalling the demon king's wish to him, and being held tightly in his arms by the other party at this moment, the knight suddenly choked up again.

When Xiaolan opened her mouth to argue something, the other party took the first step.

"Speaking of which, now that Xiaolan has become a sword spirit, it probably won't be able to transform and join the demon clan...it's a bit dangerous." With a distressed look on his face, Xiaolu folded his hands together happily, "Yeah , I have no choice but to follow you from now on."

Xiaolan, who couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking, blurted out: "Wait a minute, Xiaolu, your focus is wrong!? No, are your decisions always so rash!?"

"Hey——" retreating slightly to look at the pair of sky-blue eyes, Xiaolu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is it not possible? Or, Xiaolan hates this?"

Faced with those innocent emerald greens, Xiao Lan was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but blushed again.

"It's not..." Xiaolan struggled to avoid her eyes, and added an explanation in a low voice, "I mean, I don't hate..."

Xiaolu gave a half-smile, "Really..."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the World Tree, which shocked Xiaolu and Xiaolan to look up at the same time.

"The local simulation monitoring has ended, and the program update is ready." The young man who is almost the same as the demon king Xiaolu showed his figure from the trunk of the world tree, "I need to reset the activation function."

"Partial analog monitoring?" Xiaolu didn't understand.

Xiaolan explained: "At present, there is no racial perspective difference in the scope of World Tree."

Xiaolu nodded understandingly, "So what I see now is Xiaolan with correct facial features."

When the young man with the light wings landed smoothly, the Demon King raised his hand to signal: "The main program, Xiaolu, I want to ask something."

The boy tilted his head, "What's the matter?"

"You should be able to complete these operations in situ, right? Why do you want to go back to the world tree?"

The young man glanced at Xiaolan, and there was a slight stuttering in his speech speed, which sounded like a word-by-word pause: "According to the information I received, I judge that it would be better to leave temporarily while operating."

"Why?" This statement made Xiaolu even more curious.

Xiaolan on the side immediately remembered his own reaction when the demon king just woke up, and his guilty conscience became flustered, which made him change the subject in a hurry: "I, let's get started!"

At this time, Xiaolu also looked at Xiaolan, thoughtful, but did not insist on the question.

After answering the question, the boy went straight back to the topic: "Now, I need the holy sapphire sword and the emerald wand to activate the new program."

"Although I can't hear it very clearly... But, I have no problem here."

Unexpectedly, Xiaolu agreed to hand over the wand so easily. Xiaolan was surprised but also a little moved, "Do the demons also want to pursue peace?"

"Well—it's not so much about pursuing peace as it is about interests. Peace is also an interest, Xiaolan." Xiaolu cocked her chin seriously and thought about it, and finally smiled openly, "After all, there is no absolute good in the world. Evil, there is only absolute benefit."

Xiaolan staggered when she heard the words, and then muttered with twitching corners of her eyes: "I knew it..."

"The current peace between the two races is quite beneficial to our Demon Race—anyway, the seven human kingdoms have been in war, and our Demon Race only needs to wait for the internal friction between you humans to end, and then we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Xiao Lu's calculation was resounding, but Xiao Lan was furious when he heard it, "It really is the devil! You are really the enemy of mankind!"

"That's right." Xiaolu laughed happily.

The demon king and the knight stretched out their palms at the same time, and the emerald wand and the sapphire holy sword were molded in their hands respectively, and then they were also solemnly delivered.

When the boy returned to the tree trunk to connect with the World Tree, the magic wand and holy sword accompanying him disintegrated at the same time, turning into green and blue stars respectively, spiraling up around the boy in a playful way, and finally the three merged into one tail The meteor soared into the sky.

In the witness of the devil and the knight, the magnificent old tree began to disintegrate and collapse.It's just that the collapsed branches and trees didn't fall, but instead floated in the opposite direction under some kind of traction. The surface material was removed on the way, and it changed back to the original code.

This massive collapse spread from the World Tree, and not long after, the entire plate cracked and then collapsed under the shaking of the ground.There are more and more original codes floating in the air, piles and piles, filling the huge space into a giant cocoon.

Looking up at this grotesque scene, Xiaolan actually didn't know: what kind of prospect will this information foster, what kind of future will be built for this world?

He doesn't even know whether his pursuit all along is correct or meaningful.

Rao is so...

(—There is always a way.—)

Xiaolu's voice lingered in his ears in a trance.

At this time, the twinkling lone star has reached the sky.

The strong light suddenly rose in a certain ups and downs, even engulfing the only existence on the field, leaving a bright white and silent endless space.

Suddenly, a silent light spot fell into the sea like a drop of water, forming a circle of flat luster in this unknown space, as if opening a window.

The code floating in the air gathered into the pool of light, and the nourished seeds broke through the ground, turned into sprouts, stretched out, and grew vigorously...

That sapling of light kept extending upwards, visibly becoming stronger with the naked eye, trying to reach the star that called the dawn, and gradually turned into an indomitable appearance.

(—Even if this solution may be poor, I may not be able to find it in my life, but if I don’t try it, how will I know? -)

As Xiaolu said, Xiaolan also has no regrets about his choices and sacrifices.

In the distance that neither Xiaolu nor Xiaolan could see, the beam of light that connected to the sky diffused a strong impact, leading to a brilliant chorus of chanting, and the modules that were originally surrounded by the world tree were pushed away. Like a bud opening its sepals to bloom its delicate corolla, like a butterfly breaking its cocoon and pupa and shaking its delicate wings.

For that distant "future".

To that hope called "Peace".

In the next moment, the newborn hope swayed under the re-stabilized sky and flew towards the boundless blue sky.
