Chapter 867 "Lindsay, Kill Me."

"..."

"…………"

boom--

The rain fell harder and harder, and there was another thunder in the sky.

The lightning made Alice's face pale, and her wet hair dripped down Lindsay's arms. Her pupils, which had barely regained a trace of their spirit, revealed only strong sadness and self-blame at this moment:

"Lindsay, kill me."

Words that Lindsay would never believe came from the mouth of a righteous girl:

"You saved me from death, but I swung my sword at you."

"Today's failure may be the price for my unjust actions."

Lindsay refused without thinking:

"I don't kill my friends."

This answer made Alice even more painful. She didn't know what kind of mood she was in and continued:

"But you're better than me."

"Now I am a sinner who cannot be blamed for any death."

"I remember - through killing, your skills can greatly enhance your own strength and obtain some magical props. Although I have failed now, based on your skill judgment, I should still be a valuable prey."

Lindsay continued to shake her head:

"Then it's even more impossible."

"Acquiring power through endless killing will only turn me into a monster. There is such a path in the Abyss School, and I know what the final result will be - you are harming me instead."

"..."

Alice was speechless for a moment.

Lindsay didn't give the upright girl any room to continue thinking, so she turned around and asked about the other person's experience:

"Alice, tell me clearly first,"

"What does it mean that the [White Steel Sword] was destroyed by you?"

"Although that sword does not belong to me, I also know very well that it has the property of being indestructible beyond imagination. That is a concept that can only be destroyed in the eighth or ninth stage. It is not just because you say it is broken. Explain things.”

"..."

"I'm being targeted by something indescribable."

"At that time, the [White Steel Sword] was protecting me when I returned to the current timeline. But in the chaotic time and space, something looked at me, and it cracked the [White Steel Sword] in the rift of time and space with one blow. Among them, the remaining fragments are distributed in different eras. It is simply a fantasy to recover or repair them..."

Alice explained what happened.

Although her will was on the verge of collapse, she was still the clear-minded person who acted righteously, and the tone of her narration revealed her self-blame at all times.

"Lindsay, the [White Steel Sword] is a must."

"To establish the king of the [City of Law], the recognition of the three kings is a necessary step. Now one of the three is missing, only two are left. No matter what, a new king cannot be announced. It is...it is me who ruined this everything."

Lindsay frowned:

"How can anyone who was attacked take the responsibility on themselves?"

"Could it be that when an ordinary person is bullied by a powerful awakened person, she still blames herself for being too weak?"

Alice shook her head.

Water droplets fell from her pale face, and it was unclear whether it was rain or not:

"But...after all...it is my lack of strength that prevents me from protecting this important royal weapon."

"well--"

Lindsay sighed.

The situation Alice describes is indeed tricky.

The [White Steel Sword] was broken into pieces and mixed into the endless timeline.

Now want to fix it.

Not only to repair technical problems, but also to recover its fragments in infinite time fragments.

Lindsay's new equipment allows him to ensure his own safety despite the interference of time and space. But if you want to find fragments of an item in various timelines, it is a problem in another dimension.

Lindsay continued to ask:

"When you were attacked, did you confirm the identity of the other party?"

Alice shook her head:

"Without the protection of the [White Steel Sword], I lost consciousness in the gap in time and space."

Lindsay nodded slightly, understanding.

It is indeed a bit difficult to let Alice know something. After all, even Lindsay herself was blinded in that situation, and she had already arrived in the [Capital of Law] when she woke up.

Snap——

At this time, Lindsay felt her arm being grasped tightly. Alice's knuckles, soaked white by the river water, were grasping the left side of his upper arm:

"Lindsay, there's nothing I can do right now."

"You might as well kill me."

Lindsay wanted to refuse, but Alice said first:

"Those who practice righteousness are different from other awakened ones."

"After stage 5, if the belief in your heart is defeated, there is almost no possibility of repair!"

Lindsay repeated a word from Alice's statement:

"You said it was 'almost' impossible, not absolutely."

The righteous girl, who fell into extreme self-blame, shook her head:

"That's a miracle that only happens in myths and legends. I'm not worthy to do it..."

"This is not something that the confident and stubborn Alice would say." Lindsay immediately interrupted, and then reiterated, "And we just lived in the mythical era you mentioned, I am also a witness, or one of them.”

"..."

Alice thought for a moment, but still shook her head:

"I am a failure, and I have betrayed the trust placed in me by the [White Steel Sword]."

The current situation is that of a stubborn bull who likes to get into trouble. He has hit the south wall and is still fighting inside.

Linsey thought seriously about Alice's attitude all along.

Finally, he put the girl on the riverside in the rain, and the two sat cross-legged, looking at each other on the muddy riverbank:

"Alice, let me ask you a question."

"What is the real blow to you from the destruction of the [White Steel Sword]?"

Alice now can't refuse any questions:

"The [City of Law] cannot elect a new king, and peace will not come..."

Linsey interrupted forcefully:

"Tell me, who built the [City of Law]?"

Alice was stunned:

"The first king, Bena."

Linsey continued to ask:

"Well, let me ask you again-the Bena I just met, when he built this city, he held the [White Steel Sword] in his hand. Is it the magical king weapon of later generations?"

"..."

Alice couldn't answer.

She is familiar with history and knows better than Linsey that the weapon of the first king Bena was an ordinary sword at the beginning, and there was no mysterious power.

It became a royal weapon entirely because people in later times gathered their admiration on this weapon, which led to the miracle of the Sword of White Steel.

Lindsay continued:

"Villages, towns, forces, and countries."

"No matter what, it was built by human beings with their own hands. What is important is people, not tools."

Boom——

The two of them saw white, and then thunder covered the earth and surrounded them.

Alice was already lost in thought.

But Lindsay felt that it was not enough. His voice was so loud that it even overwhelmed the thunder in the sky:

"Now the sword is gone!"

"But ask yourself, what you really want to establish in your heart is the continuation of the orthodox rule of the City of Law, or do you want to build a peaceful and happy world where people can live and work in peace?"

"Alice, answer me now!"
