Princess' personal painter

Chapter 85 Erin-chan, please kiss me

"Irene-chan, I want to hug..."

It was rare to hear Luna use a coquettish tone, and Irene couldn't help being taken aback for a moment: "Huh? What happened all of a sudden?"

Luna pursed her lips, and looked at Irene complainingly: "Hurry up and hug me..."

The two were in the depths of the dark forest. In order to avoid the ubiquitous insects and beasts, they found a tree hole with a slightly larger space, and took a rest after setting up a protective barrier.Irene was the first to wake up from a short sleep, and when Luna also woke up, she became squeamish for some reason, looking for a hug pitifully, just like a child...

Although the mood was a little delicate, Irene still hugged Luna according to her words. Her body was a bit smaller than Irene's, and her body temperature was slightly lower than that of humans.Erin asked Luna to sit on her lap, and she could feel that Luna also stretched out her hands and hugged her neck.The silky blond hair rubbed against his cheeks, bringing a strange touch.In between, she heard Luna confiding, "I'm having nightmares again."

Erin comforted: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Luna said faintly: "I dreamed that I returned to the altar of the dark moon capital, and was controlled by the demon god to harvest the lives of innocent people. I expected you to come to save me... However, you did not appear. I finally Became one of the eighteen chief priests of the Demon God Hall, taking the responsibility of harvesting the fruits of sin, and committed more and more unforgivable mistakes. Until finally I reached the illusory consummation state, and even this body would be destroyed by the Demon God When devouring, Irene, you finally appeared, but you came to kill me..."

"Luna-chan, stop thinking about it."

"At that time, I was thinking that even if I died by your hands, it would be a happy thing. However, when I came back to my senses, I saw you were stabbed by a dagger and fell in a pool of blood... and I was covered in blood. Warm blood was all over the top and bottom, my happiness was ruined by myself..."

Irene patted Luna's shoulder softly: "Don't worry, I will accompany you well now."

"Yeah." Luna replied in a low voice.

"So, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"However, after having this dream, I finally know what I am most afraid of." Gently closing her eyes, feeling the warmth from Erin greedily, Luna poured out her emotions, "What I am going through now That's right, the ending of being saved by you is so beautiful, it's as beautiful as a dream, I'm afraid that as long as I close my eyes, this beauty will shatter like glass... ...I'm sorry, I'm so scared. Erin-chan, can you please give me some warmth?"

What could be more difficult to refuse than this kind of request?

I couldn't help feeling pity in my heart, and Irene chose to answer the girl in her arms with practical actions.With a little force in her hand, she hugged Luna even tighter, and her body was so close that she could even sense the sound of each other's heartbeats. This silent interaction lasted for quite a while, and Irene finally Asked softly: "Luna sauce, do you have a sense of reality now?"

"Well, but... not enough, I want more."

Choosing to give her weakest feelings to the girl who saved her, Luna has long since left behind her pride and reserve.At this moment, she just wants to take this opportunity to ask for as much as possible from Irene, let the warmth fill her whole heart, and let herself completely forget about the images in the nightmare.

"Eileen, that...can you kiss me?"

Even though he knew it would touch the other party's bottom line, he still said this willfully.

Irene was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then, she supported Luna's shoulders, making the two of them look at each other closely.During this period, Luna's eyelashes were trembling due to shyness, and she didn't dare to look at her. Erin pretended to be vicious and said: "The consequences of tempting me are very serious."

Luna bit her lips, and then said: "It's okay if it's not the kind of mouth-to-mouth... Kiss me like a family member, is it okay?"

Unexpectedly, the girl had such a plan. Erin showed a helpless expression and said in a low voice, "It's not that you don't know about me. If you indulge me like this, it will make me become the kind of person who treats you as myself." belongings of the bad guys who want anything from you..."

Luna shook her head, and said seriously: "I don't care what happens to other people. It doesn't matter if my words are your property, you have the right to ask for anything from me. For me, even if I can die under your Holding hands is also a kind of happiness... because, if I hadn't met you back then, I would have ceased to be myself, and you gave me a new life..."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a while, but Luna took a deep breath and continued: "Don't worry, I will not disturb your relationship with that princess. I will keep a secret for you in front of others. I won't say anything... As long as I can feel the warmth from you, I am already satisfied... If you accept it, please put those unnecessary worries behind you..."

Before she finished speaking, Luna felt her cheeks being held in both hands, and Erin, who had a strange blush on her face, narrowed her eyes and leaned closer.The next moment, Luna finally got the long-awaited kiss, and the taste of happiness filled her mood in an instant, shocking her shy and embarrassing thoughts just now.In a daze, she also stuck out her tongue clumsily, trying to respond to the attack from Irene while the fluid between her lips was interacting with each other.

Between the more and more rapid gasps, the temperature in the tree hole quietly rose.

After a long time, this long and sweet first kiss for Luna finally came to an end. She only felt that there was an undeniably sweet happiness between her lips and teeth.

I saw Irene panting and clutching her heaving chest, and looked at Luna with a bit of complaint in her eyes: "She is still wearing a nun's costume that represents holiness, so she should be a person who abides by the rules...but you have to Tempting me to do this kind of thing, this irresistible sense of guilt, is really unstoppable... Oops, it's all your fault that made me feel weird..."

Luna couldn't help asking curiously: "Huh? That means that Erin-chan's character has something to do with this? If you were in a normal state, would you be more proactive?"

"Hmph, don't think about strange things." Irene spat with flushed cheeks. Seeing that Luna was still approaching this way, Irene panicked and pushed the girl away in a hurry, "Anyway, you Have you had enough kisses just now? This time, let’s stop here, even if you want to get closer...you are not allowed to do it with me now, if this continues, you will really make me fall..."

"I don't feel disgusted at all by such depravity."

"It's easy to talk about anything in the future, but this time I say no, it's no good!"

Chapter 86 The Trail of the Dead

The deeper you go into the forest, the more intense the dead air will be.

After crossing a river flowing with black water, Irene and Luna noticeably noticed that there were far fewer insects, ants, birds and animals around them, and they all moved away from this area as if they were afraid of something.At the same time, they also discovered what should be left by humans.

Things like torn cloth, the remains of a campfire, and rusty and discarded tools made the two people's search finally get the right direction.They walked all the way along the direction of these traces, and it didn't take long before they came to an abandoned camp.

The scale of this camp is larger than expected. Judging from the large circle of felled trees around it, it should be temporarily built by a group of survivors, but it was abandoned for some time for some unknown reason.Judging from the sword marks and claw marks left on the ruins and the surrounding trees, it seems that they had to be abandoned because they were attacked by monsters... The strange thing is that the two did not find the corpses of humans or monsters, as if someone was fighting Afterwards, it was as if the corpses were deliberately hidden.

After walking around here, and considering the size of the camp, Irene made a rough estimate that the number of these survivors is nearly a thousand.She turned to Luna and asked, "If we start from here, how long will it take for this group of humans to get out of the forest?"

"If it is of this scale, it is indeed possible for the team to walk out of the dark forest under the leadership of capable people..." After a little hesitation, Luna still said, "However, even if they go out, they will be stationed in the dark forest at that time." Captured by the coalition forces outside the forest...it is too difficult for them to survive."

Irene whispered: "Yes, half a year has passed... I don't know what happened to Xi Ya's father and brother..."

After searching a little bit, and found some helpful clues.The two of them planned to continue to go deeper, but at this moment, there was a rustling sound from the surrounding forest - this sound was very familiar to the two of them for a while, it was a group of monsters A harbinger of an attack.

However, when Erin saw clearly the figure emerging from the bushes, she was obviously taken aback for a moment.She turned her head, checked her gaze with Luna, and asked in a low voice, "Undead?"

Those skeletons with sharp weapons and walking staggeringly in the field of vision are obviously human skeletons, and they should undoubtedly be the legendary undead.As for the others lying on the ground, they are obviously the skeletons of various monsters.Although these creatures had been dead for a long time, they still had the will to prey. The ghostly fire in their pupils flickered, forming a circle around Irene and Luna in an organized manner.

As early as when they met the Black Knight, the two of them were mentally prepared to encounter the undead, but such a large number still made Erin feel uneasy.

"It's hard to say..."

Suddenly thinking of a terrible possibility, Irene's mood suddenly sank.She took out the staff from her bosom, and said in a deep voice: "Undead of Alice City, if you really have such an unfortunate fate, I can only purify your souls with holy light..."

Luna, who was standing by the side, made a little calculation. The bones of these humans and monsters add up to about several hundred. Although they are only the lowest level of undead, considering that Irene's injuries are still not healed, she can't help feeling a little bit. He asked worriedly, "Is this quantity okay?"

Irene blinked her eyes and said, "Don't think that you can underestimate me after defeating me once!"

I saw the holy rays of light starting from the tip of the staff and rapidly expanding outward.Those monsters who were stimulated and flew towards the two bear the brunt of the brunt. Their decayed bodies quickly melted and melted in the holy light. The green fire in the skull also washed away the dirty color and became pure and transparent. Eliminate annihilation.

Seeing that the scope of the holy light was about to cover all the skeletons, there was only a sharp sound of horns coming from the depths of the forest.Hearing this sound, the skeletons suddenly had an unusual reaction. They stopped encircling the two of them, lined up and walked to the place where the sound came from one by one... During this process, the skeletons obviously forgot something. The thing is, there are two more enemies standing behind who can easily eliminate them.

Seeing this, Erin also put down her staff, and looked at Luna.

"Let's go and have a look."

I saw that Luna's face was not very good-looking: "I have an ominous feeling."

You will protect me, right?

When this sentence was almost blurted out, Erin suddenly remembered that someone had said similar words once, and that happened to be the eve of parting ways between herself and Erica.The inexplicable heartache lingered in her heart for a while, she chose to hold Luna's little hand beside her, and said softly, "I will protect you."

Luna was a little dazed, and then she glared at Irene angrily: "At this time, don't be brave."

"I don't care, I will protect you anyway." Irene spat softly, took Luna's little hand, and caught up with the group of skeletons in front of her.

"Huh? Wait..." Luna, who was suddenly held by her hand forcefully, was obviously a little confused, so she looked at the girl who was walking forward in front of her, and asked cautiously, "...Are you angry? I definitely didn't back down I mean, I'm just worried about the enemies we may face... You must know that the magic of the undead system is a taboo technique that must not be touched even among the demons..."

"I know, I have my sense of proportion." Irene turned around and looked over with a very serious expression, "What I want to say is that you should be the one who is not allowed to be brave. Please Luna-chan at any time Take your own safety as the most important thing, don't take any risky actions, even if it's to protect me..."

Luna was obviously stunned: "Wait a minute, this is different from what we agreed on."

Irene stretched out her hand, tapped on Luna's forehead, and ordered in a solemn tone: "Don't forget that you are my property, in short, just be obedient!"

It was only at this time that this girl who was so gentle to herself would use such a tough attitude. Luna, who was hit hard on the head, felt a sweet taste in her heart.Of course, this does not mean that she will show weakness on this important matter (it is about attacking and accepting), and unconsciously she also used an uncompromising tone: "Hmph, anyway, even if there is a fight now, you still You can't beat me... so when encountering a battle, it should be Erin-chan standing behind me..."

"Stupid, I'm a magician and you're an assassin. Of course I'm standing behind you... And why do you think I can't beat you now? Isn't it because you stabbed me hard in the heart some time ago? ...If Luna-chan still feels a little bit guilty, please listen to my orders carefully!"

Luna, who is simple in terms of complaint skills, is naturally not Irene's opponent. She obviously stayed for a while after hearing the words, and found that she couldn't find any words to fight back. There was a moment of grievance in those ice-blue eyes. Even the nose became a little sore when the love came, "If Aileen-chan wants to take revenge, please pierce my heart... I will hold back no matter how painful it is."

"Hey...don't show such a heart-wrenching expression all of a sudden!"

Luna paused and lowered her eyelids: "If I die, will Erin-chan feel heartbroken?"

So, after a while, Irene's panicked voice came from the forest——

"Stop, stop, please forget what I just said, it was just a joke... Wait, why are you crying all of a sudden... I was wrong! I was really wrong! I will never joke about this kind of thing again Oh, how could I have the heart to hurt such a lovely Luna-chan, you know I don’t hold grudges at all... Well, let me tell you a joke, okay..."

Chapter 87 Prelude to the Dead

The sharp and piercing sound of the horn sounded intermittently in the forest.

Irene and Luna followed the driven skeleton at a distance and circled the forest.In the process, they saw more and more skeletons coming from all directions and joining the team.As a result, the number of skeletons, which were only a few hundred, expanded rapidly, from a few hundred to a few thousand, and soon exceeded ten thousand.Among them, most of them are human-shaped skeletons, but there are also a considerable number of beast corpses, and even the skeletons of large monsters with a length of tens of meters, which staggered into the depths of the forest with the skeleton army.

The sky in front of them seemed to be shrouded in a huge black mist. The more the two of them followed the skeleton army southward, the darker the sky became.

Luna turned her head and said to Irene in a tone that was almost begging: "It's really too dangerous to keep going... As long as there is something wrong, shall we retreat?"

"Well, I listen to you."

Although I had a dispute with Luna about the command power before, after seeing the power of the undead, I had to act cautiously for the sake of safety. I saw Irene nodded and said: "I was thinking about whether I could find survivors." What, now it seems that hope is very slim, we will retreat immediately after confirming the situation."

The breath of death and decay in the air became more and more intense, and Irene only felt that her breathing was a little difficult. In this situation where there were undead around, she couldn't rashly use the light spell to expose herself.So, during the rest of the journey, Luna picked up Irene and walked through the increasingly gloomy forest.

This is...Even Erin couldn't remember how many times she was hugged by the princess.In the past few times, it was good to say that the person holding Erin was at least older than her in appearance, but this time she was hugged by a girl whose appearance was similar to her own age, and Erin couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of frustration.

At this time, the disadvantage of the magician is manifested.

That's why I want to become a martial arts profession, at least at some point I won't be easily overthrown...

Although she was in a very dangerous environment, but she had the leisure to think about these messy things, Eileen couldn't help feeling speechless to herself.With the rustling sound, the dense leaves quickly passed over the top of the head, and the girl's pale golden hair fell on the face from time to time in the slight bumps, and Irene took a deep breath, and she simply held her hand in a broken jar. Luna chose a comfortable position for her neck, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath, so as to face the unknown danger ahead in a better state as possible.

The intimate action from Erin made Luna's cheeks slightly flushed.

Naturally, Irene wasn't the only one who was still thinking wildly in such a dangerous environment.

They probably came to the foothills area, and the road ahead became narrower and narrower. In order to avoid the ever-gathering skeleton army, the two decided to climb up along the ridge.For Luna, even with a person in her arms, it is easy to shuttle through this complex terrain.It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the top of the mountain, and in front of them was an open river valley.

When Luna put Irene down and the two of them saw the scene at the foot of the mountain, they both gasped.Because the Elise City, which Irene had been looking for for a long time and fell into the dark world, suddenly appeared in the field of vision——

Standing on the banks of a meandering river valley, guarded by several tall watchtowers around, the urban area is patchwork and a circular city with towering buildings.

The size and style of those buildings were exactly the same as in Eileen's memory, and even the magnificent Winter Palace built halfway up the mountain, all the details were copied to perfection.

When she first saw the ruins of Elise City, Eileen thought that this beautiful city had been completely destroyed. She never thought that it would be "reborn" in this way before her eyes.However, even after seeing such a picture, Erin couldn't feel any joy from it.

Because, just like those human beings who became undead after death, this originally white and holy city was also eroded by filth and stained with a bottomless blackness.

In the almost flawless darkness, it seemed that all the despair had gathered.

Above the dark city is the overwhelming black mist, next to it is the black water flowing with pieces of meat and bones, and the army of undead exuding death is also marching out from the gate of the city... Just as the dark world and the manifest world are opposite to each other In the two worlds, the reflection of Alice City under the water surface also presents a completely opposite appearance-that is, a city of terror, death, and decay.

After being stunned for a long time, Irene recovered from the shock: "If Xi Ya sees such a scene, she will definitely be so sad that she will cry again."

"It's really scary..." Luna said in disbelief, "In just half a year, there are so many undead... What's going on?"

Outside the dark city of Elis, tens of thousands of troops gathered, densely packed into a large-scale array, judging from the aura, these troops should all be undead.Moreover, with the sound of horns sounding from time to time, more and more undead are entering the river valley from all directions, gathering at the edge of Alice City.Erin made a rough estimate, adding up the number of these undead.Almost breaking the million mark.

The population of Elise City happened to be about 100 million. When it was destroyed, none of the people escaped, and the rest of them basically fell into the dark world with Elise City, almost the same as the undead in front of them. The number is the same... Then, if you think correctly, almost all the residents of Alice City, those ancient and prominent nobles, including the royal family branch with the same surname as Sisyana, and those stationed in the royal city The imperial guards, hundreds of imperial knights and dozens of court magicians, all these innocent people and almost half of Wakabayashi's elite were confirmed dead in that disaster... What's more frightening is that almost everyone was killed by some kind of Terrible power transformed into undead.

This also means that Sisyana's father and elder brother, that is, Andfried Theresia and Lawrence Theresia, have almost no possibility of being spared—unless they become the ghosts of the undead. Conspiracy, but no one should treat their own country in such a cruel way.

Xi Ya, I really can't bear to tell you this...

So, no matter how much impact this city of the undead will have on the two worlds in the future, Sisyana's destiny to become the "King" cannot be avoided. She who hates war so much will eventually go to the The road to fight for the people of the country.
