There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

She didn't.

She could see the doors that were somehow collapsing, like dominoes falling one after another, like the twisted lightning in her memory at night.

Rushing towards her and towards them from far away.

Suddenly, a small tower appeared in the middle corridor, about the height of a person, blocking them.

Viviana remembered that this was Shi Tongling's tower, her father's tower, and where she lived when she was a child.

My father seldom comes here on ordinary days because he is busy with government affairs. But on festival nights, as the elector, he has to receive a constant stream of guests.

As for her mother, as a maid, she had to be busy until the early hours of the next morning.

She could see the small figure huddled in the corner, holding a knight novel, blocking out all sounds with the book.

"Wait till the tide recedes, till life and glory vanish together."

"Wait until all things, from prosperity, decline and turn to dust."

"Wait until the furnace bursts into flames, until a natural disaster strikes, until family and friends have forgotten it."

"The last knight of this land, alone, charged towards the waves as black as night."

At some point, Talina was standing behind her, holding the storybook with a torn cover and yellowed pages, reciting the story she was most familiar with.

She once longed for the protagonist, the knight charging towards the sea.

Even though he knew that what he did would not change anything, he still charged towards the "God" without fear.

That kind of courage was exactly what she lacked.

Twenty-three years have passed, and this story has accompanied her for twenty years. Only now does she understand its true meaning.

"Don't be weak...Imagine yourself as a knight."

"A true knight is not afraid of any hardship or disaster."

Drawing the rapier from her waist, Viviana stood firmly in front of Talina.

The past cannot be changed, no matter how many times she searches, there is simply... no such thing as a good ending.

The more she searches, the more she becomes trapped.

Wake up and face reality, that's what she needs to do.

Protecting everything she wanted to protect was what she wanted to do most when she was young, but she had no power at that time and could only go with the flow.

But now, she also has the power to stand in front of others!

Then you shouldn't retreat or escape!

The collapse is right in front of us and the devastation is clearly visible.

An indescribable sense of crisis came over me.

Viviana suddenly had a strong premonition that the collapse of the doors was not just the embodiment of repeated failed searches.

If this small room were swallowed up, something would really be erased.

An illusory scene flashed before my eyes, and it stopped at the moment when I had just met Talina.

At that time, she had just had a younger sister and was very happy. In order to build a good relationship with this new sister, she specifically begged Russell to get her half an hour of storytime.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Viviana told the story she had read countless times, and with a smile, she asked the young Talina her doubts.

"Talina... When that knight charged into the boundless waves, do you think he was thinking of conquering this land?"

Talina, with sleepy eyes, slowly shook her head and replied softly: "No."

Then, he fell headfirst into Viviana's arms.

Yeah...no!

"I won't leave!"

Standing with the sword in front of her, Viviana blocked the small figure behind her.

From the moment she entered the spiral staircase, she couldn't even describe specifically what had happened.

Perhaps this is the inevitable path for everyone who comes here, troubled by the deadlocks and regrets deep in their hearts, lost in the chaos, constantly searching, and finally merging with this chaos.

The continuously collapsing space eventually swallowed up the tall tower that was blocking her way, and the girl who was huddled in the corner holding the knight novel also disappeared with it.

"Vivian...what should I say to you? Or...what should I say to myself?"

“The candle flame is dim, but it can illuminate the surroundings and give people a glimmer of light.”

"From now on, there will always be filth and danger thrown at you, irreparable regrets, and you will be trapped in the cycle of searching and losing..."

There was darkness under my feet, and the dim candlelight illuminated the surroundings.

Viviana raised her head and looked at the ensuing destruction, brandishing the sword without hesitation, muttering to herself.

"But you must remember and believe that those stories you once longed for are not illusory legends or ridiculous symbols."

"You have personally walked the earth, illuminating others with your own dim candlelight. Even if no one passes by the light, that radiance remains unshakable!"

"Perhaps... you are not that light, but you once protected her and drew your sword for her!"

"Viviana Hochberg, don't forget, you are... a knight!"

The collapse has come, and darkness swallowed everything in an instant.

Compared with the star-like darkness of this vast ocean, human power is too insignificant.

Trapped in the darkness, Viviana could only hear laughter, music, noise, and roars.

They are like a group of children who have no idea what the sounds they make mean and only know how to vent their emotions.

She just stood there, her back straight.

Compared with the last knight, the ocean, a concrete enemy, is obviously much easier to understand. Facing the darkness before her, Viviana doesn't know who her enemy is.

Then, her sword blade broke and gradually disappeared in the endless darkness. The candlelight that could illuminate her eyes could no longer burn. Fear was like a raging tide and an ocean, washing her away to numbness in an instant.

But soon, she slowly calmed down, and even felt relieved for no reason. The sadness and fear could no longer occupy her heart.

They...are disappearing!

In those crumbling walls, in the gap between Gate Eight and Gate Three, what is there? Something is devouring my emotions.

Countless images, reality and illusion intertwined, wrapped her like a cocoon, soft yet tough.

"No...I can't fall here..."

As her physical strength faded, Viviana gradually began to lose the strength to resist, which was a bad sign.

I have to hold onto something, find a fulcrum, and persevere... I still have people to protect...

I finally figured out what I was thinking, how could I fall here!

Her teeth were clenched, blood flowed from her lips, and the salty taste on her tongue made Viviana's mind a little clearer.

"Talina... Maringed... Mom... Kela..."

She also wants to get out of here, not only that, she wants to take them out!

Before my eyes, a golden light appeared, like the sun.

The dazzling light illuminated Viviana's eyes.

Viviana, who was almost unconscious, suddenly found that something seemed to appear in her hand.

Through the darkness and thorns, it became history, became a legend...

Knight's sword and spear.

The novel and reality are combined, and the light that has never been worn down by the times is now imprinted in her palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Viviana clenched her fist and swung it.

Charge forward in the posture of a knight!

The light grew stronger, and the dazzling golden light spread over everything, rushing towards...

The end of time and space.

.........

After an unknown amount of time, Viviana's body could no longer support her attacking posture. She stood there blankly, looking at the small figure in front of her.

Is that Vivian?

Or Talina?

Or...both?

The images of "Talina" and "Vivian" overlapped and stood in front of Viviana.

"She" raised her hand with her five fingers spread out.

Subconsciously, Viviana stretched out her right hand and shook it.

The moment their fingers were clasped together, the warm feeling moistened Viviana's heart.

No longer those illusory illusions, no longer those regrets that cannot be achieved, the person in front of me...

It is true.

The light cracked and shattered like a mirror. Viviana exerted force with her arms and pulled her lover out of the mirror.

Pull her into his arms.

Feeling the real body temperature and lingering fragrance, Viviana hugged Talina tightly in her arms.

She knew that this was real, not a false illusion anymore.

It is better to grasp the warmth in front of you than to pursue those empty things...

The spiral staircases and the doors that opened and closed unsteadily had disappeared. The surroundings were silent, so quiet that she could even hear the breathing and heartbeat of the person in her arms.

Only when she felt Talina pinching her ears in embarrassment because of the tight embrace did Viviana reluctantly let her go.

Talina's little face turned red, and the shy and angry expression on her face not only did not look annoying, but instead made people want to tease her.

"What are you...doing? Why..."

Talina, who had just been tearing Loken apart with her bare hands and kicking Kosice, looked at everything in front of her with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Her memory stopped at the last moment.

It was a mirror, and she in the mirror reached out to herself.

Then, she arrived here.

Without saying much, Viviana walked slowly forward and gave Talina another hug.

With her hands wrapped around the other's slender waist, Viviana tightened her grip and whispered in Talina's ear: "I'm back."

"also..."

"Out."

Volume 8: Chapter 77: Resurrection from the Dead?

"You mean to say that you saw your former self and me here, and then you were covered by a gust of black wind, and it would be best to grab... pull me out?"

Looking at Viviana suspiciously, Talina repeated what Viviana had said before.

Even though she knew Viviana wasn't lying, it still seemed a bit ridiculous to her.

Viviana is similar to her, strong in physics but weak in magic. The most powerful spell she casts is to condense the candlelight into one point and then explode.

This is the case with those in the Sanhua Knights.

It's okay to use it to beat people, but it's not enough to see through this kind of illusion-like spell.

Not to mention that this was the work of the Witch King.

So, Talina didn't really believe it.

But since it was Viviana who said it, she believed it.

"What about you? What did you see?"

Walking side by side with Talina, Viviana asked with interest.

She also discovered something from her own experience.
