Chapter 153 God of Love 18
Not only was Julis backed away by this strange sight, but even Possel, who was touching the sea water with his toes, turned around.
However, the skeleton that still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee did not bring them a second surprise, it just maintained this posture.On the contrary, Esper broke free from Julius' arms, trotted close to the skeleton, and looked into its dark eye sockets.
"Esper?"
Seeing the girl stretch out her hand as if wanting to touch the skeleton, Julis yelled, wanting to step forward to stop her, but he saw Possel shaking his head slightly at him, his blue eyes flashing with surprise.
"Your daughter came to the sea of eternal life to find me through her own power, don't you have any doubts?" Bossel asked, "She is not as energetic as a normal human child, and she sleeps for almost twenty hours a day The above. But the young child who has been blessed by Apophis never gets sick. During this period of time, I can't understand the changes that have taken place in her."
"Is it dangerous?"
Bossel shook his head: "I foresee the light."
Julius stared intently at his daughter.
"Don't be here, go home."
Esper raised her hand, pointing her fleshy fingers on the forehead of the skeleton, which was obviously the action of Sotiria when she blessed magical creatures countless times, but under Esper's imitation, it looked cute and funny.
But Julius didn't laugh, neither did Possel. They looked at the wisps of blue-purple light glowing from the skeleton in disbelief. There were no strange noises or earth-shattering visions. This cursed skeleton , unexpectedly in this light, gradually dissipated into the invisible.
The silent sea area became noisy in an instant, and the cries of the undead filled the ears. Countless pairs of black shadows climbed up the reef and turned into five claws, twisting and trying to catch Esper.
Julius hugged the girl, and Bossier held out the Sea God Spear, and the sharp tip of the spear quickly cut off the hand that climbed up from the sea.
"Papa, wait."
There was no fear on Esper's face. Instead, she stretched out her hand from Julius' embrace. The magic light emitted from her fingertips fell on the severed hands that were still struggling on the reef, the hands that were still writhing in pain just a moment ago. It disappeared completely in the next instant.
The mournful howling around immediately turned into a cry of relief, like a cry of joy after breaking free from the heavy shackles.
Or finally get real redemption.
In the gray clouds gathered in the east, there was a glimmer of morning light.A group of white-headed and red-billed seagulls suddenly emerged from the cloud peaks, stretched their wings, sang, sang, and soared over the sea that was once shrouded in ominous waters.
"The power of the Protoss..." Possel looked at the blue water that Esper touched, finally showing the blue water that should be, and muttered to himself, "Apophis, I thought you gave the power to you partner, the embryo conceived by the tree of the world... Did we all guess wrong?"
Purcell spread out his palm, and a pure white dagger lay quietly in his palm, dyed a brilliant blue-purple by the magic halo on Esper's body.However, before Ulis turned his head, Bossel immediately took it back.
——She didn't want this crying and fragile human being to be emotional.Although Julius was pretending to be calm at the moment, Bossel was almost driven mad by the constant crying of his soul.
"The opposite of destruction is rebirth." Bossel sighed, "Only when destruction perishes can rebirth shine. Julius, your daughter is the antidote to this world. What she possesses is not as simple as you. Instead of 'purification', it is correction, sending all misplaced and incorrect things back to the original path.
"Julis Kleis, I thought that the World Tree's awakening was because of you, but now it seems that Esper was naturally chosen, the successor of Apophis. You can choose to continue hiding with her On the edge of the world, watching magic die in the dust, can also allow Esper to show miracles to mankind, extinguish the flames of war, and eliminate suffering."
Purcell looked at Ulis, and Ulis also looked at him.He seemed to see the tenderness that belonged exclusively to Sotiria from those blue eyes.
"There has never been a child of destiny who inherited the power of the gods, and no human child has ever been given divine power by nature. You and Esper may really change the fate of this continent."
Without waiting for Julis's answer, Possel opened her arms and jumped back. Her curly silver-gray long hair curved brightly in the golden-pink morning light. Her body was folded backwards, her waist and back outlined It makes a graceful arc, like a mysterious and beautiful whitebait, thrown into the vast sea.
Those cursed corpses also seemed to realize that Esper could save themselves, and instead of swarming up like before, they spontaneously formed a circle around the reef, waiting for Esper's blessing.
Although the little girl didn't know what her actions meant, every time a corpse disappeared under her touch, she would laugh and clap her hands, as if enjoying the process.
"Esper," Ulis called.
The girl turned her head suddenly, her twisted braids flew up, and there were two spots of blush on her tender white cheeks: "Papa! They are talking to me, some are still crying, thank me for saving them. But I don't know anything Didn't do it."
Julis smiled and ruffled Esper's hair, the girl was so angry that she held her head and pouted, but even so, she didn't complain about "hate dad" like other children.
The crash of the waves crashing against the rocks became louder and louder, and the sea level that was originally level with the platform under the feet gradually receded, revealing the rustic and rustic carvings in the faint morning light.
Julius recognized that this was the olive branch pattern carved on the dome of Odon's White Pigeon Castle.
Slowly, half a glowing red sphere jumped out from the east, and the sparkling white sea surface was also dyed with a touch of brilliant gold.The sphere seemed to have escaped from the abyss suddenly, and jumped out from the bottom of the sea in a hurry. In an instant, the whole sea area was covered with red light. cast black shadows.
"Pa..."
Esper was stunned. Under the natural and breathtaking beauty, she could only remember to open her mouth and eyes wide, and lament the incomparable beauty with silence.
It wasn't until the oblate sphere finally broke free from the shackles of the sea surface and hung in the air that Esper yelled "Wow" as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"Papa, it's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" The warm little hand tugged at Julis's hand, "I've never seen such a beautiful ball!"
"This is the sun." Julis looked at the red sun slowly climbing into the sky, "What we saw just now is called sunrise. This is... the scenery that humans living here can see every day."
On the edge of the world is the world of Sotiria, where there is no sunrise or moonset, only the clear blue sky all day long, and magical creatures living in laughter and dreams.
"Esper has never seen such a beautiful sun. I really want Dad..." The taboo words that had been held back for a long time were finally mentioned in the girl's mouth. Before Julius could react, Esper He immediately changed the topic again, "I, I'm a little hungry. Sister Boser has been feeding me those fishy things these days, and she doesn't know how to sprinkle seasonings. I'm so hungry..."
Esper was still chattering to find a topic, but Julis suddenly sighed, how could he be so self-willed that a four-year-old girl should be taken care of carefully?
"Esper." Julis squatted down, his eyes were at the same level as Esper, and he asked seriously in a rare solemn tone, "Do you like this place? I like watching the sunrise. I want to look like you. Do you play with boys and girls? You once cried and asked me why I am different from those elf girls. This is the answer-this continent is the place where you were born, and humans are your race. "
Esper blinked and pursed her lips, as if she was chewing on the meaning of Julius' words.
"In addition to sunrise, there is also sunset. Not only the sun, but also the moon and stars hang in the sky. Water drops will fall from the sky, which will make the ground very wet and become black. Horn-shaped white crystals, people call it snow..."
Julius patiently explained the wonderful scenery of nature to Esper. The girl listened intently, her eyes shining with longing.
"But human beings are not as simple as elves or goblins. They will fight because of greed, and turn against each other because of jealousy. They will praise you in front of you, but they will slander your reputation in secret. If you are not careful, you may be used ..."
"The little prince in fairy tales is also human." Esper suddenly asked, "Papa looks the same as me, so you are also human, right?"
Julius froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then I'm not afraid! Dad... Well, the person we all love once told me that where there is light, there is darkness. If someone loves me, someone must not like me." Esper's clear and clear voice seemed to be With a certain magical power, even the sea breeze can't blow it away, "Papa loves this world and humans very much, so Esper will also learn to love them."
Julius' eyes suddenly became hot.
"I know that an unspeakable disaster has happened here. My friends in the sea told me. I want to save them, Papa, and I know you do too. So shall we stay here, even for a while." Esper asked.
Julius hugged Esper tightly, trying to swallow the sourness welling up in his throat.The little girl wrapped her short arms around him in a serious manner, and patted Julis on the back lightly.
Julis smiled and said, "...then, let's stay first."
"Good!" Esper cheered.
"Also, Esper." Julius picked up the girl, stood up straight on the ruins of Odong, and looked at the bones floating in the wind in the rubble pile in the distance, "It's not taboo to call Daddy. I love He, you love him too, as long as we remember him, he won't..."
Having said this, Julius stopped suddenly.
