Chapter 252

Faiyan Squad Captain Flora wondered if she was dreaming.

If not, she didn’t know how else to explain the absurd scene before her.

Her Faiyan Squad had unexpectedly received information about the legendary [Source Stone of Life]. After numerous hardships, they had arrived at the legendary “Lost Kingdom.” Before even finding the Demon King’s treasure trove, they first encountered a group of extremely powerful alchemical constructs.

They fought all night, and were finally saved by a mysterious person. Just as she was wary of the person’s identity, a legendary angel appeared, and then the two hugged each other?

Hugged… hugged each other?

Flora’s mind short-circuited a bit. She was just about to step forward when she noticed the angel hugging the mysterious person suddenly looked up at her. The brilliant golden eyes carried a powerful pressure, shaking her whole body stiff.

The other members of the Faiyan Squad weren’t doing much better. The gaze wasn’t terrifying, but it gave people a great sense of oppression, like a high and mighty god indifferently glancing at the ants on the ground.

Angel…

So the legendary angels were like this?

But who exactly was the one in the angel’s arms…

For a time, everyone had extremely rich psychological activities, constantly guessing the identities of the two in front of them, while lowering their eyes, controlling their curiosity and no longer looking at the angel and the person in his arms.

Sometimes, direct gaze is also a kind of offense.

That noble angel probably thought so too. The moment they lowered their heads, the two directly disappeared from the spot.

After confirming that the two had indeed left, Ella breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, “Scared me to death, that person’s pressure was so strong.”

“That was an angel, right?” Yali said softly, “Those wings behind him… that’s definitely an angel, right? But why are there three wings? Is that one extra?”

“It should be an angel with four or more wings, and then one wing was broken, right? Legend has it that the power and status of angels are reflected by the number of wings.” Flora frowned, “But why did an angel suddenly appear here? Didn’t angels all disappear more than a thousand years ago?”

“Yeah, why did an angel suddenly appear here?”

The several people looked at each other, all focusing their gazes on Evelyn, who was from the Holy See, after all, coming from the Light Holy See, she should have more informed news than them.

Evelyn, who hadn’t spoken all along, lowered her eyes, still with that cold and holy appearance. She paused and said softly, “After the fall of the Eternal Empire, the angel race disappeared without a trace. There is a record in the Holy See’s notes that they didn’t die, but moved to the Floating Island created by the Demon King, and the location of the Floating Island is above this royal city.”

As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, Ella had already raised her head and looked up, but after looking for a long time, she couldn’t find any islands above their heads, “Isn’t there nothing there? Could that Floating Island be transparent?”

A hint of dark color flashed in Evelyn’s eyes, and she said softly, “I don’t know about this either, but I heard that the Floating Island has a special defense magic circle, it should be because of the special magic circle.”

“So, are the angels still guarding this place? Are we still going to the Demon King’s treasure trove?”

Everyone looked at each other, all in a disheveled state after the battle, and even suffered not light injuries.

In their current state, let alone encountering the angel just now, even if another group of alchemical constructs appeared, they wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long.

Flora pondered for a moment: “We’ve come all this way, it would be too much of a loss to return empty-handed, we should at least try… bring back some valuable things.”

The news of the [Source Stone of Life] had been circulating in the Free City for decades. It was said to be the power left by the death of the Goddess of Life, a divine artifact that could revive the deceased. Countless mercenaries scrambled to find this legendary gem.

However, the Free City had seen several reports of the [Source Stone of Life], but no mercenary had ever truly found it. Many people now think that the so-called [Source Stone of Life] is a fabricated lie.

Her Faiyan Squad initially thought so when they got the [Source Stone of Life] clue. But later, by chance, they confirmed that the [Source Stone of Life] did exist, and the news they received involved the Eternal Empire, which had been destroyed for more than a thousand years, adding credibility to the news.

After that, they were joined by Evelyn, a saintess from the Light Holy See, and they decided to come and find this legendary gem.

As a result, after all the hardships of coming to the royal city, before they could find the treasure, they discovered that a ‘dragon’ guarding the treasure was suspected to be hovering above the treasure, which was not easy to handle.

If they left, the treasure left by the Demon King was close at hand, and no one could decide to leave directly, but if they really braced themselves and rushed in, the angel they just saw would be enough to wipe them out several times.

Turning into the deceased before finding the [Source Stone of Life] was not their original intention.

After hesitating several times, they finally agreed to the captain’s suggestion.

Only Evelyn, quietly looked up at the place where the angel and the mysterious person disappeared, with an inexplicable look in her eyes from an angle that everyone could not see.

She opened her mouth, silently uttering something, no one heard, only Ella inadvertently saw Evelyn’s lip shape when she turned back.

Ella tilted her head in confusion, Evelyn was saying… N… NOLAN?

Strange? Who is this?

*

Yan Yunqing’s eyes flashed, and he was already in a flower field.

He was surrounded by countless blooming flower bushes. The same sweet fragrance as Theodore’s rushed into his nose, and the sound of dripping water came from his ears. When he turned his head again, what he saw was a spring scene.

This is… Floating Island.

Floating Island is like spring all year round, with a full island of flower fields that come with the factory settings, also known as Spring Island.

He was stunned, and realized that Theodore had directly brought him back to the Floating Island… and in front of the Faiyan Squad.

Yan Yunqing frowned, but the good news was that he specially switched the [Nolan] identity card when he entered the royal city. What he was staring at now was the Demon King’s face. This face had not been revealed in front of the Faiyan Squad before. He was just about to say hello when Theodore directly stopped him.

So the Faiyan Squad wouldn’t know his identity.

That was good.

Yan Yunqing thought to himself, but when he turned his eyes, he saw Theodore looking at him expectantly.

Those brilliant golden eyes didn’t have too strong emotions overflowing, but when they were staring at him so straightly, Yan Yunqing still felt a burst of inexplicable panic… guilt?

Yan Yunqing’s eyes flickered for a moment, and Theodore immediately became like a frost-beaten cabbage, his whole person dimmed a degree.

Theodore lowered his eyes and bowed his head, kneeling on one knee with one hand resting on his chest, “King.”

The golden long hair scattered all over the ground, intertwined with the white robe, and set off by the surrounding flower bushes, Yan Yunqing inexplicably felt that the scene in front of him was a bit scorching.

Having been bathed in the socialist red light for eighteen years before, he had never seen such kneeling a few times, but he had experienced it several times since he transmigrated.

Divick, Beros…

It was just that Yan Yunqing didn’t have such a strong feeling of guilt when those two knelt on one knee, but when facing Theodore, Yan Yunqing felt so guilty that he didn’t even dare to look at him.

Was it because he had always regarded Theodore as an imaginary enemy?

Yan Yunqing pondered his own psychology, but unfortunately, the bystander sees clearer than the player, and he couldn’t figure out his own thoughts.

Theodore lowered his head, controlling himself, not letting his overly ardent gaze fall on this long-lost king. The suppressed desire in his heart kept springing from the bottom of his heart, drilling into his limbs, wantonly torturing him. All the blood in his body was clamoring to get closer——

But Theodore knew he couldn’t do that.

This was crossing the line, a taboo, even if he had been waiting and searching for the person in front of him for more than a thousand years.

Theodore clenched the fist resting on his chest, gathering the surging emotions again.

He couldn’t, what he had just done was already crossing the line, it would offend the king.

Theodore allowed his nails to dig deeply into his palm, leaving obvious white marks, and even oozing a little blood because he used too much force. Theodore still remained expressionless, allowing the pain to envelop him, so that he could slightly escape from the past memories.

He was already used to it.

After all, for more than a thousand years, he had relied on constant pain to prevent himself from getting lost in the memories of the past.

Theodore was even thinking now, did the king in front of him really exist?

Perhaps this was another false memory trying to confuse him?

Theodore’s empty eyes focused, and when he thought of this possibility, he raised his head. Before the killing intent could stab at the false memory, he saw the person he had been thinking about sighing long.

The possibility of false memory was immediately thrown out of his mind, and panic surged into his heart. Theodore’s indifferent face showed a few traces of panic, like a child who had done something wrong, he opened his mouth to apologize.

“I’m sorry, I—— subordinate——”

Theodore opened his mouth several times, but the remaining words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to be spat out or swallowed.

The feeling was like a piece of cloth soaked in water, damply covering his mouth and nose. He could breathe, but it became more and more difficult. Every breath was taken with all his strength, but the cold water still flowed down his mouth and nose, freezing his whole person.

Even in the false memory, Theodore didn’t want the king to show a disappointed expression.

That would make him think that the king had never returned because he didn’t want to see him.

Clearly that person had said, as long as he waited… the king would definitely return.

But… why…

He hasn’t returned yet.

Theodore greedily stared at the king in front of him, tracing his features with his eyes. The king’s eyebrows and eyes had already been repeatedly traced countless times in his heart during the past thousand years. Even with his eyes closed, he could still restore the king’s appearance.

King.

Was this still a false memory?

——Please don’t show me that expression.

Even in the false memory…

Yan Yunqing felt the gaze from Theodore, startled by the scorching gaze, couldn’t help but take a step back, frowning.

He didn’t expect such a small action to make Theodore ‘mad’. Yan Yunqing watched Theodore raise his hand, and a gem-encrusted dagger appeared in his hand. Before Yan Yunqing could be prepared, Theodore had already raised his hand and stabbed——his own shoulder. Then he pulled it out, and several drops of blood were Stop it out splashed on the ground.

Yan Yunqing: ???

Yan Yunqing was taken aback, and saw the white robe at Theodore’s shoulder immediately soaked with the gushing blood, dyeing a red halo.

“What are you doing?!”

Yan Yunqing resisted not yelling out a sentence of “damn it” on the spot. He had thought about the first meeting with Theodore after their reunion. Theodore might want to kill him, or he might cling to him like a puppy. He just didn’t expect Theodore to self-harm as soon as they met?

After being called “the Demon King’s mad dog” for so many years, had Theodore finally gone mad?

If Theodore really went mad, Yan Yunqing felt that he might be deeply sinful.

He saw Theodore hanging the dripping dagger in front of a flower next to Yan Yunqing, allowing the blood to drip on the soil at the root of the flower. A few drops of blood were quickly absorbed by the soil, and the flower next to Yan Yunqing was visibly more delicate and charming.

A strange sweet smell suddenly spread out, exactly the smell Yan Yunqing had just smelled on Theodore.
