Chapter 1438 The Sorrow of Forgotten Blood

"So, what are you going to do with us now? Lord Lin Xian, who is temporarily out of the woods?"

Mandy's words were very clear, with a hint of fueling the flames. Lin Nian didn't know what she was fueling. Was she sure that Lin Xian wouldn't do it in front of him? Judging from the power and strength that Lin Xian had just shown, if the other party was determined to kill Mandy, he would have no way to stop her.

"Be quiet." Lin Nian could only use a very restrained tone to warn Mandy not to talk nonsense. The situation was already very bad. He and Lu Mingfei were both at the end of their strength, and Lin Xian was still in his prime without knowing the depth of the situation. They couldn't afford another bloody battle.

However, Mandy's words still made Lin Nian slightly open up some ideas. Although he didn't know what Mandy had calculated for the emperor, she didn't look like she was lying. Even if she was covered in blood under the pressure of the royal power, her aura of seeking credit and complacency could not be covered.

Now let's assume that what Mandy said is true, that the emperor has suffered some kind of loss and is temporarily unable to show up, then the room for maneuver has increased - mainly because of Lin Xian's attitude and purpose. Lin Nian does not want to officially start a war with Lin Xian here. First, he is not ready, and second, his current state does not support another hard battle.

Under the oppression of the royal power, Mandy has already suffered from ruptured blood vessels and dislocated bones all over her body. She lies on the ground like a bloody man. Although Lu Mingfei looks like he can still fight, Lin Nian knows that he has reached his limit. The power and force he gained by cheating are about to expire and may have ended now.

What a trouble.

Lin Nian silently watched Lin Xian in the distance without moving. The halo of the colorful world tree constructed by the "Liuli Fancheng" made her look so strange and gorgeous. Rather than saying familiar and strange, it is better to say that Lin Nian has always known that Lin Xian has concealed something from him, but he never thought that the truth would be so unreasonable.

"I'm only here to take away Fenrir's body. I don't consider attacking you." Lin Xian said, then glanced at Lu Mingfei, "Except for those who bump into me."

"Is your job just to recover Fenrir's body?" Lin Nian looked at her.

"Of course, I also came to see you on the way." Lin Xian smiled gently, "Finally, I hope to borrow Su Xiaoqiang from you for a while."

"This is non-negotiable." Lin Nian rejected this "request" almost the next moment, and his eyes staring at Lin Xian gradually sank, "Who wants to do this, the emperor or Lin Xian?"

"Both." Lin Xian replied, she turned her head to look at the unconscious Su Xiaoqiang at the exit of the corridor (when she made this move, Lu Mingfei's footsteps moved slightly, but Lin Nian immediately turned back and shook his head gently at him) and said, "Because of some special reasons, there are some problems with the contract between Su Xiaoqiang and the emperor. Well, it's a big problem. If it is not solved in time, it may endanger her life."

Lin Nian's brows slowly frowned, and a dangerous but restrained emotion emerged in his golden eyes. He turned his head to look at Mandy, and the latter gave her a silent affirmative look, which probably meant that Lin Xian did not lie.

"It will be returned to you in a few days. She is safer with you, so don't worry about what we will do to her or threaten you with her as a hostage. This is completely unnecessary. On the contrary, if something happens to her, our reaction may be greater and faster than yours." The tone of Lin Xian's speech to Lin Nian was more like a notification than a solicitation of opinions. It felt like a merchant was going to return the goods with quality problems to the factory for inspection, which made Lin Nian feel very uncomfortable.

But he had been with Lin Xian for so many years, and he could feel that Lin Xian was not lying now. There seemed to be something wrong with the contract between Su Xiaoqiang and the emperor. So is Mandy doing something in this regard? But is the price a bit...

"This is the only way." Lin Nian heard Mandy's voice ringing beside him, very softly.

"In your eyes, she has never been insignificant? Have you never... recognized her?" Lin Nian asked his sister this question in a low voice.

"Are you talking about Su Xiaoqiang?" Lin Xian turned his gaze back to Lin Nian, and after a brief silence, he answered, "As for her, as a friend, I actually like her very much. As for 'recognition', I don't quite understand what you mean, so I presume to understand it as a synonym for 'acceptance'. If so, my answer may disappoint you."

Yes.

Lin Nian only realized it now. He looked at Lin Xian in the distant glass illusion and seemed to have figured out a fact. Lin Xian seemed to be so independent from beginning to end, living alone in human society with his young age. If we really want to mention "acceptance", then there is only one person that Lin Xian truly accepts.

And what about himself?

In addition to Lin Xian, after entering Kassel College and entering a new environment, he accepted a series of companions such as Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Mandy, etc., friends who are trustworthy and worth talking to. But suddenly looking back, Lin Xian, who had been following him, seemed to be alone from beginning to end, so lonely. Even among the mixed-bloods, she was still so lonely in their group. That loneliness was like a thick barrier. Even Lin Nian or Lu Mingfei outside could not understand her.

If the concept of "blood sorrow" is used to explain all this, perhaps the real monster has always been hiding beside them. That is the absolute loneliness that is isolated from the world and cannot be understood by anyone.

"Is that so?" Lin Nian whispered.

He suddenly felt that he had failed. As the person who loved and was loved by Lin Xian, he didn't understand this until now.

When Lin Xian suggested that Lin Nian go to Kassel College, he probably guessed that Lin Nian would find a bond in that college and find people who could accept him and whom he could identify with.

There was only one person in the world who could be recognized and accepted by Lin Xian, and who could also accept and identify with Lin Xian. However, she still sent Lin Nian away with her own hands. As for herself, she might have been used to this. This kind of loneliness has never meant escaping the so-called blood sorrow.

Looking at the silent Lin Nian and the calm and silent Lin Xian, Mandy, who was a little confused due to Wang Quan's injury on the ground, had the only thought in her mind - what a mess. Fortunately, it's not my brother and sister, otherwise it would have been like this Declined.

"I will take away Fenrir and Su Xiaoqiang, and I will return your girl to you intact in the near future. This is my promise. I can make the same promise for the emperor. This is a verbal contract. Lin Xian said to Lin Nian.

For them, something like a contract seems to have a super-standard magical effect. Whether it is Lu Mingze, the emperor, or Yelena, as powerful and mysterious as them, they will try their best to carry out the so-called contract. of compliance.

Just like the seeds of the "Five Awareness Laws" that Mandy buried in Lu Mingfei's mind, Lu Mingze certainly had the ability to detect and erase them, but that was the contract that Mandy made with Lu Mingfei out of cleverness. , the devil who completed the fusion with Lu Mingfei must also keep his promise when the contract comes into effect (so it can be counted that Mandy cheated Lu Mingze and pinched Lu Mingze's only weakness through the contract with Lu Mingfei).

Seeing Lin Nian still silent and thinking, Lin Xian reminded me, "Believe me, now is not the time to untie the fourth chain. That power is not something you can master now. Once the chain is broken, you will lose control." , while hurting yourself, you will also hurt everyone you don't want to hurt. It is the right choice for you to stop Yelena, otherwise, the moment the chain breaks, someone will definitely die between you and Lu Mingfei. corpse."

The fourth chain.

Lin Nian raised his eyes. Indeed, when Elena held the chain, he had a strong hunch. The power contained in that chain and the power it carried were unmatched by the first three chains. A terrifying force, symbolizing subversive destruction. So he rejected that power. He was not ready, and neither was Lu Mingfei.

"You two have run out of gas, especially you, Lin Nian." Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian and said softly, "It's better to take a rest. This day is too long for you. That's not complete. Only you know the extent of the trauma that 'fusion' will cause to your body, so don't show off."

"I think I'm in good spirits now." Lin Nian replied silently.

Lin Xian paused and showed a helpless smile, because questions and answers like this often appeared in the past. The sweaty boy on the basketball court was always persuaded to go home by his sister holding a towel, but that Their stubbornness always caused the street lights above their heads to light up one after another when they returned home.

"I'm just stating a fact. You two can take a good rest. The battle is over." She said, "If you are still worried about Jormungandr, there is probably no need for it."

Lin Xian looked at the two men who were still in a state of war readiness and said slowly, "Jörmungandr is not a problem you should consider. After Fenrir's soul is shattered and her body is collected, she will have no hope of ever evolving into 'Hela'. . This is the punishment that the loser in this conspiracy should bear.”

"She has only two choices now. One is to lose her mind, be furious, expose her identity at all costs, cause a local disaster on the surface, and eventually be killed. And I think, as smart as she is, she knows how to tolerate and be patient. The guy playing the role will probably choose the second action.”

"Even if she is angry, she will face the losing situation and have to disappear and hide temporarily, just like she has been doing for the past few decades, continue to accumulate strength, collect intelligence, and find the truth about Fenrir's death and what happened. Who planned all this?" Lin Xian glanced at Mandy Gonzales next to Lin Nian, who was silent and sweating profusely.
