Princess' personal painter

This place is pitch black and has no end, only the footsteps of the two echoed between the stairs.Erin deliberately spoke at this time, because this kind of atmosphere is the easiest time to reveal her thoughts.

However, the girl beside her rejected her question with a long silence.

Erin sighed quietly.

Not long after, there was a faint fire in front again, and it seemed that the two had reached the next "platform".

The enemies encountered were still easy to deal with, without any threat. Eunika easily knocked out several orcs stationed with a stick.

Eunika still did not kill.

The situation on the platform was similar to the previous one, and after discussing with each other, the two accelerated their pace of progress.

It seems that we should wait until we meet Sisyana... On this road, my sister's aura is getting clearer and clearer, so I should be able to catch up with her soon, right?

Came to the third platform, and dealt with the orcs stationed like the previous two times.However, what Irene was worried about happened at this time. The two people, who were not vigilant enough, encountered a strong attack this time.

About seven or eight orcs with elite strength rushed out from the side passage, and surrounded the intruding Irene and Unika from multiple directions.

Looking back at the pair of pupils with fierce eyes, Irene remembered that some of the orc elites were enemies she had faced in battles on the battlefield before, and some of them still had the remnants of Irene's magic. scars.

And these orc elites obviously remembered Irene, panting heavily and said something to their companions, they seemed to be quite afraid of Irene's existence—of course, they didn't know that Irene at this moment was basically There is no combat power in the world.

Sensing the killing intent in the sight of the orc, Irene felt a little apprehensive in her heart, she moved her body closer to Unica, said with a wry smile, "This is what I'm worried about, you can protect me Right?"

Eunika narrowed her eyes, momentarily noncommittal.

"Don't force yourself." It's not that you don't trust Eunika's strength, but that she knows that there is still a deep-rooted demon in her heart. Just to be on the safe side, Irene reminded her in a low voice, "If it doesn't work, you can take it with you." I'll break out."

Chapter 66 Failed Combat Attempt

Compared with her brother, Unika's martial arts tend to be more "offensive".

The weapon used is a tailor-made alloy short sword. With her agile figure and tricky moves, Eunika is a natural assassin, and the deterrent effect she brings to the enemy is more intuitive than Wenjiesi. This group of orcs, who were obviously not as strong as hers, should have ended the battle in a crushing situation.

It should be like this.

However, for the current Eunika, not only the wounds she suffered have not fully healed, but also the weapons she held were dropped into the sea, and Irene must also be protected—under the circumstances of many unfavorable factors , the two of them can be said to have fallen into a rather critical situation.

Even so, after hearing Erin's proposal to retreat, Eunika did not choose to back down.

"Stay where you are and don't move."

After saying this, Eunika let go of Irene's hand, and suddenly jumped out, using offense as defense, and attacked the surrounding orcs first.

In the narrow space, Unika approached the enemy like a swallow, raising her hand, turning sideways, and drawing her sword in one go.

Of course, the weapon in her hand at this time was just an ordinary iron rod, not a sharp blade.

The orc who was attacked hardly had time to defend himself, his chest and abdomen were poked hard, and his body flew upside down due to inertia.

After wounding an orc, Eunika's footsteps turned slightly, avoiding the counterattack from other orcs.

But she had just moved half of her body, and in an instant, a huge iron hammer hit the ground heavily, and the violent wind kicked up a large cloud of dust.

Eunika narrowed her eyes, but instead used the cover of dust to attack the next enemy.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, life and death are often only a hair's breadth away.Irene watched Unika's back closely, and was so nervous that she didn't dare to vent her breath for a while. She had already prepared the magic she could cast, and was ready to provide support at any time.

Judging from the battle situation, Eunika did display her due strength and successfully suppressed this group of orcs.

After a few breaths, Eunika's figure was like a phantom, and then the wall moved behind an orc. Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy was at a loss, he suddenly took the opponent's weapon, and then used his elbow to backhand The orc fell to the ground.

The weapon he took was a short scimitar, which was somewhat different from what Eunika used to use, but it was in line with her usage habits.She took a deep breath, threw the stick in her hand on the ground, and replaced it with a machete that was more convenient for killing people.

During the movement, a strong gust of wind hit from behind.

Eunika snorted, turned around quickly, took the attack with the knife, and then the knife kept slicing across the enemy's chest and abdomen, and fresh blood suddenly splashed on the knife.

The orc grunted and took a few steps back.

But Eunika, who was among the orcs, was immediately attacked by the surrounding enemies.

In order to avoid the attack, the girl's waist suddenly folded back until it was almost parallel to the ground.At the same time as she made this movement, several weapons made a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sound above her, and they were handed over in a messy manner.

Bending down and rolling on the ground, Eunika's body showed a flexibility beyond the limit of human beings, like a superb dancer, she quickly escaped from the enemy's cumbersome attack.When she got up, she had already stood behind an orc.

A cold light flashed in Eunika's eyes, and she stabbed at the back of the enemy with a knife.

This soul-stirring reversal made Irene a little surprised.

Indeed, as Lawrence revealed, Eunika has a peerless talent in martial arts. Even if she has not recovered from her injuries, the combat power she has displayed in the past few breaths is obviously one step higher than her brother Wenjiesi. To be able to possess such strength at this age, she indeed has a limitless future.

While thinking about it, watching Eunika stabbing the unsuspecting orc with a knife, Erin could almost imagine the scene of blood splattering everywhere in an instant.

But for some reason, this process seemed to be infinitely lengthened.

When Erin realized something was wrong, she saw the scimitar in Eunika's hand slashing across the orc's back, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.

Eh?

Then, with a "Dang", the scimitar in Eunika's hand fell to the ground.

The orc who was attacked turned around due to the pain, but Eunika still stood there unconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking.

You, you, you... are still off the chain!

In a hurry, Irene yelled "Get out of the way", and quickly rushed to where Unika was.

The injured orc swung the hammer at Eunika angrily, almost hitting the girl's head with such force, but suddenly felt a blue light on his arm, and a translucent rope stopped his movement.The orc froze for a moment, roared and increased his strength, and the rope wrapped around his arm suddenly burst.

Taking advantage of the stagnation of the enemy's attack, Irene threw herself down on Unica who was still in a daze, and led her out of the enemy's attack range.

The hammer hit Unica's position just now with a "boom", which made people feel lingering fear.

Eileen sat on Eunika's body in a delicate posture, and noticed that the girl's expression was numb, her eyes were out of focus, and she was in a daze. Eileen panicked in her heart, and stretched out her hands to shake it vigorously. Over the shoulder of the other party, he shouted: "Eunika, wake up!"

While speaking, another violent gale came from above. Irene hurriedly cast a magic barrier to block the attack, bent down and rolled on the ground for a certain distance with Eunika in her arms.Erin's heart moved, and she said in an urgent tone next to the girl's ear: "Stupid, stupid... If you continue to be in a daze, wait until your favorite 'Xia' can only come and help us collect the body!"

As expected, Sisyana's name successfully awakened Unika.The girl moved her eyelashes with difficulty, and when she saw the nervous girl in front of her, she said in a low voice, "Sorry."

After all, Eileen hugged Irene with her backhand, found a gap before the next attack of the orcs came, and ran away with Irene towards the stairs below.

Not long after, with the assistance of Irene, the two barely got rid of the pursuers, hid in a hidden branch passage, and temporarily gained safety.

Seeing that Eunika's face was a little pale, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I still can't do it."

"Then don't try to be brave! It's such a scary thing, I said I have no fighting power now!" Irene couldn't help complaining, staring at her and said, "It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise... ...Remember, this is the second life you owe me."

Eunika closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I know... the grace of saving my life will definitely be reciprocated."

Noticing that Eunika's expression was very serious, Erin said: "Don't get me wrong, this is what I should do, and I don't intend to blackmail you, although I really want to do it..." After a pause , Irene put away her joking tone, and asked softly: "Just now... what were you afraid of? I still want to hear your story, can I?"

Eileen's request made Eunika a little distracted for a while, and it took a while to recall: "When I was young, for a long time, I was having the same nightmare..."

Chapter 66 The Nightmare and Irene's Persecution

"As a child, for a long time, I had the same nightmare."

When she said this, Eunika was visibly taken aback.Even she herself doesn't know why she can tell the secret in her heart to Irene, is it because she has experienced life and death together and has no burden?

"I dreamed that a group of terrible executioners descended from the sky and rushed into the palace, killing anyone they saw without mercy. In the dream, I could only watch all that happen, unable to do anything until the boundless The blood dripped into a puddle under my feet."

Even though the narration was done in a calm tone as much as possible, there was unavoidable tremor in her voice. Eunika clenched her fists almost unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "At that time, I just regarded those scenes as nightmares, and I didn't know what was going on. It's the 'future' foreseen by my awakened intuition. I didn't tell the dream because I was afraid of others' jokes... Then, you also know what happened later, right?"

The Principality of Caroline was declared a heresy by the Holy See, and thus was besieged and divided up by many countries.

Among them, after Prince Charles of Anrull led his army to capture the capital of Caroline, he issued an order to "cleanse", causing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Caroline to die in a merciless massacre, and only the Grand Duke of Caroline remained. Exit Eunika and her brother.

This is also the reason why the Eunika brothers and sisters had to defect to the Wakabayashi royal family.

"Hmm." Feeling emotional, Irene responded softly.

"Because the terrible thing really happened, that nightmare has been haunting me since then. I used to suffer from severe hemophobia." After a pause, Eunika sighed, and switched to an understatement tone Said, "Up to now, the symptoms of fear of blood have been relieved a lot, but at the critical moment, I still can't do it. I tried it just now, but it still doesn't work... I really am too arrogant."

As Eunika said, her inner demon is the absolute fear of "killing"-this is caused by what happened to her as a child.

Irene asked softly, "Does my lord sister know about your situation?"

Eunika's face turned slightly cold, and she said lightly, "I don't know, I've been pretending very well."

Irene let out a breath, nodded and said, "Eunika is also working hard, I know how it feels... after all, normal people don't want their hands to be stained with blood, right?"

Eunika said in a cold voice: "You also think that I am a coward like this, right? Yes, only in this matter, you can laugh at me to your heart's content."

"No, I agree with your approach, because I also thought so at the beginning."

Irene shook her head, recalling some past events, tears welled up in her eyes: "...but, later on, I found out that this world is much crueler than I imagined, and no one knows that disasters will happen. When will it come. So, in order to protect the people I care about, I was forced to make changes, let myself accept and adapt to 'killing', this is my experience..."

As she said that, Erin reached out and touched Unika's cheek, and said in a sly tone: "As you can see, I am not as harmless as I look... Actually, you can do it too, for us The person you care about together, please cheer up and try to overcome your fear..."

This intimate gesture stunned Eunika for a moment, she closed her eyes and flatly refused: "Sorry, I can't do it... I don't need to take any more risks."

"If you, Unika, can't fight, we will be trapped here, and we don't know when we can join my sister."

While speaking, feeling the strange breath flowing in the air, Eileen moved slightly, got up and stood in front of Unika, and smiled slightly: "I also figured it out a little bit, I want to help you overcome the demons in your heart , you need to give you [-]% trust... Although this may be cruel to you, let me try it."

The inexplicable words made Unika unable to react for a while.She opened her eyes and looked at Irene, and asked in a daze, "What... are you going to do?"

Irene said softly: "Because I know that feeling... so I want you to feel the same feeling as I did at that time. In the past, I failed to save the people I cared about, and I still regret it until now. But, If it was Eunika, she wouldn't have left me alone, would she?"

"Wait... I don't quite understand what you mean." Eunika said with some difficulty.

Erin answered her questions with practical actions.

The girl patted the dust on her body, pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her hand to break the blindfold of the hiding place, and then turned around and walked towards the exit of the passage without looking back—and outside the passage, there was a group of stalking tigers and tigers watching. A powerful orc searching for the location of the two.

Unable to understand Erin's actions at all, a panic appeared in Eunika's eyes. When she came back to her senses, she saw that the girl was about to walk around the corner, so she got up and shouted:

"Come back soon!"

Turning a deaf ear to her words, the girl disappeared from sight without stopping.

——But, if it was Eunika, she wouldn't leave me alone, would she?

Unknowingly, the words Erin said just now echoed in her mind.

...What are you thinking?

Eunika clenched her fists and tried her best to chase after her.

As soon as she ran around the corner, she heard the roar of orcs, and an orc in her vision swung a sharp ax and chopped down at Irene.

At this distance, it is too difficult to rescue.
