Evetrona's old stories

But what she didn't expect was that Eve threw it straight away from her. It wasn't until the sleeve crossbow with the steel wire still hanging on the top of the tower that Akanlu realized that Eve had just thrown his hand. The sleeve crossbow on it was removed.

"Hello!" Akanlu exclaimed. Seeing Eve jump off the tower and disappear, she panicked.As far as the eyes could see, members of the White Legion flashed past one after another, not knowing what was going on below.

Even if the White Legion is too late to rescue, Eve can still use magic, can't she?Thinking of this, Akanlu breathed a sigh of relief.

Eve felt the heavy weight on her hands and feet, and her heart beat as if it was going to pop out of her chest.

[73] Harvest, Competition, and Festivals (Part [-])

Seeing a white figure approaching towards her, Eve couldn't help feeling a little anxious, taking such a big risk to win all the crowns, she didn't want to fall short.

"Don't touch me!" she yelled in desperation.But the other party was not shaken by this, and still relied on the steel wire to intercept her falling trajectory.Both of them were very fast, and they collided almost in the blink of an eye.But to the knight's surprise, the opponent twisted his body abruptly in the air, dodged his embrace, slipped past his armpit, and even kicked him obliquely in the waist, causing the two of them to completely separate.

Because the action was so fast, the audience didn't even see what happened just now, they only knew that the white knight didn't catch the player who fell from the top of the tower.There was an uproar outside the stadium.

Eve curled up, quickly adjusted the angle of descent, and fell on the roof of a sloping tall building. Her speed was so fast that she stepped on a lot of tiles as soon as she landed.Her body continued to slide down the roof, unable to stop at all.The shattered tiles rolled down towards the street downstairs together with her. Eve maintained a half-kneeling posture with one leg stretched forward to slow down the forward speed.When she slid to the eaves, she saw the right moment and jumped forward with her hind legs, trying to make herself jump as far away as possible.

The knights of the White Legion followed her nearby, but stopped her no more.

In the end, Eve crossed the street, stepped obliquely on the wall of the tall building opposite, then slid down against the wall, and fell on a balcony on the fourth floor.Eve got up from the ground, feeling pain all over her body.

After a while, Akanlu also rushed over from the top of the tower. She stood on the roof of the collapsed building, facing Eve on the balcony below.She didn't catch up, but just kept staring at the girl who seemed to be about to jump at any moment, with an inexplicable meaning in her eyes.

The White Legion blew a long whistle representing the end of the game, signaling for everyone to take off the metal rings on their heads.After a knight recovered the ring, Eve finally breathed a sigh of relief.Akanlu flew to Eve's side from above, holding her waist with one hand and sending her to the ground.

"Why are you working so hard, what should you do if something happens?" Akanlu whispered in her ear, completely no longer the aggressiveness of the competition just now, "If you want to win the first place, just tell me no, will I not agree to you?"

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Eve said weakly, "Looking at you having so much fun just now, I don't know why but I just feel very angry, and I just think I can't let you look down on me."

"I never underestimated you." Akanlu was amused by her, "If I deal with you, I must do my best."

"Your aura just now was too scary. Has no one told you before?"

"I said it, it's often said that way."

Standing on the street, the two of them stretched out their right hands and pushed them back and forth as if bored. As the two talked, several light and heavy gold discs bounced between their bracelets.

"You can play alone next year, I will never participate in this kind of activity again." Eve said.

"That's so boring." Akanlu persuaded her: "This year is because you are not ready. When we compete next year, we will have a showdown. How can we quit after winning one game?"

"Did I win?" Eve asked her back.

"Of course I won." Akanlu was very sure.

"But I seem to have kicked the referee just now..."

"Huh?" Akanlu was taken aback.

The final results of the competition have been announced-No.3 is Sudane Sagati, with a total of 97 minutes; No.2 is Akanlu Ratvin, with a total of 160 minutes; No.1 is Eve Harveyne, with a total of 175 minutes.After all, the referee didn't care about Eve's step on him.If Eve hadn't captured four light and heavy gold discs in the last 10 minutes, or Akanlu decided to continue chasing after them in the last 5 minutes, then the final score between Akanlu and Eve would have a high probability of 180 to 155. It can be said that Akanlu was merciful to her men in the end.

The three stood on the podium, and Su Dane still felt a little unhappy when he looked at the two girls embracing beside him.

The school did not expect that the first and second places in this competition were all taken by women.

"Is this gold?" Eve held a trophy in the shape of a castle tower in her hand and asked Akanlu next to her in a low voice.

"How is it possible, it's brass." Akanlu replied.

An old man with a gray beard in a black suit walked a few meters in front of them, and asked all the contestants to come closer and stand in one place.He was wearing a pair of white gloves, and he was holding a strange-looking disc-shaped object. Judging from the lens protruding from the front, Eve guessed that it might be a camera.

"Come on, look here." The old man pointed to the machine in his hand and said to everyone.Eve held the trophy in her arms, stood in the middle, and looked at the camera with a smile.

"Lee-Haz, Tii LaKa-Mahg, Vooz-Dyas!"

The old man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and the intense flashes covered the entire audience.

Eve didn't expect this kind of result, and the others were even dizzy by the sudden flash, and even fell backwards.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that Eve regained her sight. There were exclamations, complaints, and loud ridicules around her. Someone said to disband, and the contestants and audience all dispersed and disappeared on the street.

Someone took advantage of the chaos and hugged Eve from behind. Judging from the smell and height, this person must be Nanfen.

"You scared me to death just now, did it hurt when you fell?" Nan Fen asked softly, pulling her earlobe.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired now." Eve turned her head, but saw that there were still many people standing behind Nanfen—Lin Xin, Di Geng, Avella, Xilinya, Mara, and others holding Baba. Shalan from Fuluo and Baililin standing at the back.

"These are all your friends?" All the people present Eve mentioned to Nanfen in their letters, but most of them had never met Nanfen.

Eve beckoned and asked everyone to gather around, and introduced Nanfen one by one. At the end, she said to everyone: "This is my mother, Nanfen."

So everyone said hello to each other one by one, which made Nanfen a little at a loss.

It wasn't until then that Eve realized that there were two people standing beside her, a man and a woman. Both of them were tall and slender. The man had short silver hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge; the woman had long hair. She has shoulder-length black hair, two strands of hair on the front of her forehead are strung with a string of wooden beads, hanging straight down her chest, her skin is snow-white, her lips are painted with red-brown lipstick, and her upper and lower eye sockets are painted with black eyeshadow.The clothes and grooming of the two are outstanding, and this is the first time Eve has met in Krigin.

"These two are Alpantino and Ge Enqi." Nanfen introduced to Eve and everyone, "They are a pair of brothers and sisters of Yilan Yaya, my two old friends, and they are both from the Yuanze sect Alchemist." The brother and sister folded their hands together and bowed to the crowd, looking like two pious hermits.

Baililin was a little surprised.She has only heard the names of these two people before, but this is the first time she has seen them today—these brothers and sisters are considered members of the review office, but they are not core personnel. member.She didn't expect these two to appear here, and according to Nanfen's introduction, they seem to have been living in Benlong Castle in recent years.

Can these two be trusted?Baililin was a little uncertain.Her level is not enough, so she also sees many things confusingly.Is Maoqi on the side of the Logos Academy, or the Shengfengyue faction?Did he mention these potential strife in the country today to his wife Nan Fen?And has Eve been involved in this three-way battle?

She was thinking about these things heavily, when a young girl's face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, interrupting her wild thoughts.

"What's wrong?" she asked Eve.

"You don't seem very happy, is it because of this game..."

"It's not because of this, you performed very well." Baililin said, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to come back first."

After hearing this sentence, everyone burst into laughter.In the evening, they had dinner together in Forward's small restaurant, mainly talking about some not-so-salty topics around Eve, and they had a pleasant meal.

The next morning was the competition for the props group. Compared with yesterday's competition, today's competition was more intense.The competition was conducted as a team competition, ten people against ten people, perhaps because the competition was too dangerous, the number of the white army had reached as many as 20 people.

Among these contestants, Eve didn't know any of them. I heard that they were all weirdos from some colleges, and most of them were graduated students.They carry a variety of equipment, can fly in the sky, can run underground, and their actions during confrontation and chasing are dazzling. It is not so much a competition as a performance - listen to Shasha who participated in the production of some props Lan said that the game was indeed scripted and had undergone several hidden rehearsals.

The situation of the props group competition can indeed be called a visual feast. The movements and moves of the two sides during the competition are so dazzling that the whole game is over before they know it.

At this point, the celebrations held by the Knight Academy are coming to an end.There will be no activities in the afternoon of the seventh day, but there will be a fireworks show after dark; at that time, the Knight Academy will bloom special gunpowder fireworks and magic fireworks over the entire castle, which is Shengfeng Mountain.

The Shengming Festival celebration is extremely important to the people of Klikin and even the entire Yudi.In this era, ordinary people don't have many things that can be used as entertainment. Therefore, festivals led by regional officials are very precious.

There will be a cycle of one year, every year in the middle and late September, there will be a period of unusual days-during these twelve days, the new moon and the old moon alternate, the continent that has been in the balance has begun to tilt eastward, and the weather gradually Get cooler, get colder.There may be differences in different regions, but in September, most regions are in the busy season of farming. It stands to reason that the biggest festival of the year should not occur at this time, but this cultural custom has been preserved until Now.

In addition, this time this year, Eve has spent six Mingming Festivals here, and she has gradually been able to experience this kind of profound happiness that can only be obtained in such an age—that is, the happiness that festivals give to people .Festival celebration is not just a ritual, but also a part of life. During such a period of time, people can temporarily put aside trivial matters to perform an behavior that in most cases does not create value. This behavior is important to them. For some, its only meaning is to seek happiness - they believe that the more happiness they get during the festival, the luckier they will be in the following year.For Eve, the Ming Festival celebration is like a red bookmark in the diary, which divides the pages clearly and clearly. In the past five and a half years, what happened around me and what I did , she remembers everything clearly.Without instant messaging and the Internet, everything in life is closely related to herself, so she has time to think and do what she really wants to do, so the time has a clear scale; she will not be like herself in the past , only to look forward to half a year, a year, or even ten years later, as if the road under your feet is just a kind of suffering.Now, she can stare at the clouds in the sky in a daze, sit by the lake and blow the wind all day; or she can count the steps she walks in a certain section, and the number of sheep on the grassland... No matter what she counts, she is actually counting Observing time itself is to touch the texture of time, and it is a kind of study of time.

Only focus on the present, at most only see the next year's Ming Festival, and don't make any promises about the future-this is the hope left by a down-to-earth person for the future.

At night, when the fireworks went off, she suddenly thought of Vegmanning for some reason.She only felt that this dragon would definitely be in the dragon house tonight.

Eve broke away from her friends, climbed up the tower of Dragon House, and reached the top. Just as she expected, Vegmanning was lying on the top of the tower at this time, as if he was watching the constantly rising and blooming fireworks in the distance. .

Frogmanning didn't notice Eve at first, and it wasn't until she started climbing towards his back that the proto-dragon moved his eyes slightly.He neither spoke nor moved his body, but waited patiently for Eve to climb up his neck and reach the top of his head.

"Are the fireworks beautiful?" Eve asked him.

"Fireworks are for the people below," replied Vegmanning.

They didn't say a few words that night, they just watched the fireworks that kept blooming quietly.Seen from the top of this tower, the fireworks that were originally arranged in an orderly manner became chaotic at their feet. Just like what Vegmanning said, the fireworks must be looked up to look good.

A good fireworks show must not be short of two things, namely—the numerous and fleeting fireworks, and the light but long-term friendship.

Whenever the celebration comes, Fugemanning will think of Hyde, think of such a person who can never return, it seems that only in this way can he relieve the loneliness in his heart.Loneliness... language is a great invention, it can make a dragon understand that there is a feeling called loneliness, and this feeling is not rare, almost everyone has it - but it doesn't make him feel better, let a person realize the disease he is suffering from, but it will magnify the torment caused by the disease.

But this year is different, this year with Eve here, the lonely kid in his heart was kicked and beaten away by her.If a dragon can think like a human, then his heart is not much different from that of a human, and he is a little worried about gains and losses at this time——Obviously Eve will not live in Runlong Castle for a long time, if she leaves, will he be Want to be with loneliness again?Thinking of this, he felt a little sad, but then he realized that he was a dragon, and he shouldn't be as clingy as a kitten or puppy... Afterwards, he felt that such a metaphor was really demeaning, so he gasped With a heavy breath, he began to feel sullen.But overall, he had a good night, and it was the first time in more than a decade that he had company.

[74] Harvest, Competition, and Festivals (Part [-])

That same night, Baililin was sitting by the window, squinting at the fireworks scene outside the window.She brought the cigarette in her hand to her mouth, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, as if stretching herself.

"Are you still smoking now? Can your body take it?" Behind her, Luo Tilan lay comfortably on her big soft bed and asked her softly.

At this moment, both of them were naked.

"Whether you can bear it or not..." she said as she stubbed out the cigarette, "it has nothing to do with you. If you just ask casually, then don't ask, because to me, it's not about me, It's poking me where it hurts."

Luo Tilan laughed twice, turned sideways, and pulled Baililin back to the bed.He wrapped his arms around her neck, stroked her belly with his other hand, and sighed.There was a raised scar on Baililin's abdomen, about two fingers wide, surrounding the entire waist. The scar crookedly showed an ugly light brown color, which made her originally thin and tender waist and abdomen look like a scar. It looked a little scary.

This is the trace left by her when she performed the mission.Nearly 20 years have passed, but the scene at that time still reappears in countless nightmares, pulling her back to that painful day from time to time.

She had just turned 20 years old at that time, and after graduating from the women's college in Xisom, she followed Mochi's team to perform the work and mission of relic rescue in the north of Klickin.Sometimes, the rescue of relics is even more dangerous than exploring the relics themselves. After all, the relics that can allow a professional expedition team to send a rescue signal can be seen in its degree of danger.But Baililin was never afraid of these things at that time, even when she saw her teammate die in front of her own eyes, she was never afraid, because she firmly believed that she would become a character like Anken Meijin, and she had to continue from her beliefs. Only by gaining courage can we walk firmly on this road.

But Baililin couldn't go on.She could still remember that it was the third time that she followed the team to carry out the mission.In the unknown ruins, someone in the team accidentally triggered the mechanism, was cut into several pieces by the flying air blade, and died on the spot; while she was affected, and a air blade just passed through her waist.At that time, she only felt that her body was light, and she fell to the ground in an instant, but she couldn't get up no matter how hard she tried. When she saw the terrified expressions of the team members, she saw the body of her teammate who was divided into several parts behind her, and her body below the waist.

Baililin immediately vomited out, and then felt the unbearable pain in her waist—as if her lower body, which had already been separated, was also hurting, tingling pain, dull pain, colic pain, falling pain... All the pains were intertwined together, making her tremble violently.Someone went to shake her hand, and she stared at the man's face, but she couldn't tell who it was.She vaguely noticed that everyone was showing sad and sympathetic eyes, and knew that she was going to die. She wanted to tell them that she was in pain now and wanted them to save her, but she couldn't say a word.She suddenly felt very sad, but she didn't know whether this sadness was because she knew that her life was passing by quickly and could not be saved, or because of the sad eyes of her teammates who usually talked and laughed.In her own impression, the time from being cut in half to losing consciousness was very long, but in fact it was only more than a minute. The resistance and fear of death when she was dying made her perception of time a little abnormal.Fortunately, she survived in the end, thanks to the man called "Yi Sheng".This person is not a member of the team, according to Mao Qi said a friend.After Baililin was rescued and woke up, she never saw this person again. Now it seems that Yi Sheng may have some connection with Harvey.

In the first few years after the treatment, Baililin's lower body was unconscious for a long period of time. Due to severe trauma to some internal organs, she would often fall into a severe coma without warning, but fortunately The recovery was quick and she felt incredible when she was able to stand up without any aids.

This is destined to be a kindness that she will never be able to repay.Since then, Baililin has quit the rescue team.Living has a price, not only a series of post-traumatic stress disorder and intermittent episodes of dizziness and palpitations and other neurological symptoms, but also physical problems-her body is no longer as flexible as before , gastrointestinal problems always occur, and her lower limbs still throb when she moves a lot, and what is more serious is that she realizes that she still has signs of nighttime incontinence, which hurts her more than hearing that she will not be able to have children in the future. hit.To maintain a vain brilliance and beauty, Baililin has to make a considerable effort, and before she was 20 years old, she would never have thought that in her later life, it would be difficult to maintain a decent life. How difficult.Because of this, when she saw Eve for the first time, she couldn't help feeling a little sullen - she was angry not because of jealousy, but because this girl wasted the best years of her life and didn't care.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" Lotilan asked her.

"You'd better go." Baililin lay in his arms with her eyes closed, "Eve will come over early tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll leave in the middle of the night." Luo Tilan stroked her temple hair, put her arms around her shoulders, and put her lips and beard on the tip of her eyebrows.

Baililin didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.

Sometimes she wonders how it is possible for a person who was cut in half to be revived. Is all this just a dream when she was dying, and the self who is still struggling in the nightmare is the real self?

Noticing the bed partner's distraction at this moment, Luo Tilan took her into his arms and let her lie on his firm chest.At this time, the tips of their noses were touching the tips of their noses, and the sound of breathing became heavier.

"I have to say thank you to you." Luo Tilan said, "I originally planned to let that girl go on a mission this winter, and then introduce her to Madam, but now that she can make her mark in the arena, it's a good idea." It could not be better."

"I'm not helping you." Baililin said, "If you really want to recruit her into the group, it's best not to treat her as a symbol, but to treat her as a real combat power, and let her make her own decisions in everything .She's your brother's daughter, and you should have done more than me."

"Of course, you don't need to tell me that."

Speaking of which, the two finally started to get down to business.The flash of light outside the window illuminates the smoky golden bed curtain in the room from time to time, revealing the lingering and entangled shadows in it. They are relatively silent, while the fireworks outside the window resound.It seems only at this time that language and reason seem extremely redundant.In the dark environment, the faint incense lingers, and the men and women hidden in it seem to be beasts entrenched in a warm cave, demanding and growling softly.They only rely on each other's every move, relying on each other's eyes that are still bright in the dark, to achieve the most primitive and self-taught tacit understanding.Ears and temples rubbed together, fingers intertwined, gnawing and digesting the unspeakable and indescribable continuous flow and short-term catharsis.

The festive celebrations at the Academy of Knights are coming to an end.

The eighth day is a one-day performance.

In the morning, it was time for the "talent show" of the knights of Mount Shengfeng. After watching it, Eve felt that this scene was more like a "monster competition", which was really eye-opening.For example——a strong man carrying a horse ran for 500 meters at a high speed, which was much faster than the rider next to him; Duan; the female archer grabbed a handful of arrows and shot them five times into the sky, and then the arrows fell one after another, hitting a total of 20 apples around her without any mistakes...

But the performance in the afternoon was quite impressive.The phalanx composed of hundreds of knights is constantly changing formation and defense in the open area below the city, in order to restore the scene when the allied soldiers of Shengfengyue fought against the Kaier Black Sword Magic Corps. Its momentum is like a rainbow, killing The sound is so loud that it is exciting; or the revenge sisters from afar are wearing bright equestrian dresses, riding sideways and galloping around the field. The high-profile and gorgeous movements are dizzying and refreshing.

The celebration ended at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still people who did not return after the show, as if they were going to stay for the last night.There is an open-air dinner prepared for the students tonight, and students from the academy and the training center can go.The scale of this banquet is very large, and it can also be regarded as a celebration banquet after the success of the celebration. The main participants are also students and teachers of the Knight Academy.The students spent an afternoon cleaning out the central square of Benlong Castle, temporarily restoring the cleanliness of the open space that had become messy during the celebration, so that the next venue arrangement could proceed smoothly.

The open-air banquet is much more casual, but the supply of meals is also rough. After all, the cooks are still the cooks of the restaurants on both sides, and they will not eat some too novel things.Due to the large number of participants, Eve followed the students from the academy. They moved within a designated area, and the temporarily assigned person in charge maintained order, and performed spontaneous cultural performances or toasting games. Small-scale interaction, Eve's participation in it, is not boring.From time to time, members of the school and board of trustees walk around, offering words of encouragement to the students and wishing the graduating fourth graders the best of luck and success in their careers.

Halfway through the banquet, Eve also felt a little bored, so she thought about going to see her companions in the training center. She shuttled through the crowd, inquiring about the location of the members of the third group of the first grade in the training center, and finally saw that group familiar faces.And on the way here, some other acquaintances followed her here, such as Xilinya and Aiweila, such as the four-person group of Long Ke, and the court referee Schmienrov and his other a stranger.

"Eve, what are we doing here?" Schmienroff asked her.Since there were quite a few people following along the road, he felt that she had some kind of plan for coming here.

"It's nothing, just come over and watch the excitement." Eve responded.The square was covered by rows of dining tables and tents, and it took on a completely different look at this time. Eve walked around in the crowd, and there was indeed a lot of excitement to watch.Seeing that the acquaintance was right in front of her, she walked straight over. Those people were all gathered together. Eve thought they were playing some kind of game, but when she got closer, she realized that there was a dispute here.At this time, there were four people standing in the middle of the crowd. Two of them were wearing college uniforms. Judging from the logos on their chests, they should be third graders, while the other two were Eve's two friends, Dicken and Lin pungent.

Eve squeezed into the crowd with her group, and stood aside to watch the fun, not intending to get involved.

"It looks like it's a relationship problem?" Long Ke stood aside and watched with interest.At this time, the few people standing in the middle did not talk to each other, but there was already a smell of gunpowder.

"I know that brown-haired woman." Schmieroff said, "Karen Lianni from the eastern city, the third lady of the wealthy Lizt family."

"Why aren't they talking?" Eve asked the students beside her.

"The girl asked Di Geng a question just now, and now I am waiting for his answer." The student replied.

"What did she ask?"

The student next to him was about to answer when he heard the girl standing in the middle question again: "I'm asking you something—are you rejecting me because you like the man next to you?"

Di Geng looked at her expressionlessly. He glanced at Eve who was standing outside with a curious look from the corner of his eye, and then immediately took it back. He lowered his voice and said to the girl, "Although I don't understand what you mean by saying this, I still suggest you that we take medicine as we should."

"Why, you dare not admit that you have done it?" Kaenliani looked at him bitterly, "As long as you admit it, I will leave immediately, because that is your freedom."

"It's none of your business." Although Di Geng's expression still didn't show a trace of anger, his words were never polite: "Karen, you can pour dirty water on me, I don't mind at all, but You insulted me and slandered my brother, and I can't let it go."

"What I said is the truth. I have observed you for a long time, and I can see clearly what dirty things you have done in private."

As soon as Karen Lianni said these words, there was a buzz of discussion from the surrounding people.

"The two of them really have this kind of relationship?" Eve was dubious about this, she asked the student beside her, but the student shook his head, not sure if he was expressing his ignorance or denying it.

"Look at my friend, his name is Lin Xin. Isn't reserve and humility considered virtues nowadays? He abides by the law and never causes trouble—so you think he is easy to bully? To make things difficult for a good person, Honest man, it’s thanks to you for doing it.” Di Geng patted Lin Xin’s chest and continued, “I can admit that I really like this guy, who doesn’t like such a big stupid guy? Who wouldn’t want to have sex with him friend?"

"Don't change the subject, you know what I mean when I say like."

"Yes, that's what I mean. What I mean is that I would rather marry Lin Xin back home than marry an unreasonable woman like you."

This sentence is very hurtful, but it is not surprising that Eve can say it from the mouth of a bastard Di Gen.

Karen Lianni held the hand of the female companion beside her and stared at the man in front of her. Her face turned pale due to the humiliation of the other party. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be stubborn, you just like men. You must have mental problems, why don't you just admit it? You are just the son of a manor owner, don't you think I took advantage of you? You are too arrogant!"

"Although my family is not poor, I still want to say that what I hate the most is you rich people - without money, you are useless, your brain is empty, your body is not working, can you support yourself? ?”
