Under the gray sky, the seawater, which was also reflected in a dim yellow, hit the beach one after another, and then returned to the dim sea again. All the colors were the same as those of the surrounding beaches, immersed in an endless sea. In the dusk, it seemed like the unwilling afterglow of the setting sun.
Following the sound of slightly soft footsteps, a woman's figure slowly appeared on the coastline, casually brushing her black hair that was blown by the sea breeze. There were some ancient buildings lying not far from the surrounding beach. Ruins, and this somewhat desolate background highlights the sense of weirdness.
Seemingly looking at the sea in the distance with some concern, the woman turned around and saw that it was Karen Bella who had already died when Nataya and Adeline jointly attacked her. She had the same characteristics as Joral and Wolf. A mysterious woman who has a high status but has been forgotten by the current Casa. He once boarded the ship for a period of time in the name of a painter when the Straw Hat Pirates were approaching the Soap Bubble Islands. He had the ability to extract the Devil Fruit with unknown specific effects. Later, when the Straw Hat Pirates came to the island, he expressed that he wanted to be with Nata Ya stayed with him to watch the ship, and then after the Straw Hats were defeated, the Sonny was handed over to Aunt Shao for care, and then disappeared again.
Turning back, Bella's beautiful brows suddenly frowned, and then she looked in disbelief at a figure in the distance who seemed to suddenly appear out of thin air, as if she was extremely surprised by this uninvited guest's visit: "Howhow could this happen? ¡±
The figure in the distance walked over slowly, glanced around for himself, and then said calmly: "Bellais there anything that surprises you?"
Wearing a black tight-fitting assassin costume, with an assassin dagger at her waist and fist swords folded on both wrists, it was Natalya. After taking a look at Bella's biting lips, Natalya's eyes flashed: "As expectedyou are willing to abandon your body and come to this remaining consciousness space just to create the illusion that you are dead?"
" Could it be" Bella, who thought of a certain possibility, looked at the other person's serious face in surprise, "Did you commit suicide? To come here?"
"Anyway, as long as Casa is willing to let us out at any time, what does the existence of the police matter?" Natalya still had a cold expression, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes: "Besides, in Casa Without Your Majesty's knowledge, I united with hostile forces to kill high-level personnel among high-level demons. This crime was enough for me to commit suicide Then, can you tell me now, that you have to fight even if you die? Hidden secrets"
Bella's pupils shrank dangerously, revealing an unusual hint of viciousness: "Nataya you are here for me. I think you should know that if you are killed here again, you will be forever." Disappearing I¡¯m sorry, but sorry!¡±
There was still no expression on her face. Natalya didn't even pay attention to the fingers held by the other party. Instead, she glanced at the ruins of the ruined palace behind Bella: "Indeed, when it comes to the ability to fight alone, I have a hundred advantages in front." There is an 80/80 chance of being killed by you. But you also underestimate the people who are maintained by Casa. Our obsession will not be much inferior to yours"
"What?" The expression on Bella's face changed to a moment of shock, because another figure appeared in this dim space after Natalya. It was Adeline, after giving Bella a complicated look. , Adeline walked up to Natalya anyway, and spoke angrily: "Shadow Warrior Natalya, give me an explanation! What does the saying 'If you want to get close, you have to be prepared to give up your life' mean? ?¡±
Looking at Adeline expressionlessly, Natalya spoke calmly: "Since you have already followed my example and abandoned your temporary life, why do you still ask me for this simple reason? You don't want to know that Ka What did Sa carry four hundred years ago? And I also want to find an explanation for my heart We are the same"
"Hmm!" Bella on the other side bit her lip fiercely, her eyes changed to another look of unwillingness, and a trace of blue appeared on her white fingers because of the clenching: "Why!"
Hearing the reluctance in the other party's tone, Nataya lowered her head. Although her tone still didn't contain too many expressions, it was more serious: "Bella, I know you didn't betray the demon army four hundred years ago. Human. Because your character and obsession determine that you will not betray Casa, who has given us the meaning of existence, therefore, this secret that you have tried so hard to hide must be about Casa. But"
With a slight breath, Nataya smiled: "You have no right to know this secret alone"
A complicated light flashed in her eyes. Bella seemed to sigh and lowered her fingers feebly: "I originally thought that this might be a trust that I could enjoy alone foreverForget it, follow me. bring it on"
Seeing BeiThe figure slowly walked away, and Nataya nodded to Adeline next to her, with a hint of cunning in her eyes: "Let's go, let's get closer to the real facts"
¡°Biting her lip, Adeline still followed Natalya¡¯s footsteps;. The three women walked silently among the piles of ruins. The atmosphere around them was eerily quiet. The dilapidated ruins of ancient buildings around them were like the corpses of civilizations, whispering in the vast silence.
"Can you tell us a little bit now?" There was a hint of urgency in her tone. Adeline, who was walking next to Nataya, spoke up, "What is the secret of Casa? Why"
Without saying the second half of the sentence, Adeline seemed to be aware of her abruptness, and turned to look steadily at the back of Bella who was walking in front, as if giving her a chance to adjust her thinking. "The world of Casa is not something we can step into" Unexpectedly, Bella quickly answered: "I just kept a few things for him because I understand your mood. , that¡¯s why I tell you"
"Stop saying these words" Nataya shook her head: "Tell me, what is it that makes the Casa of today and the Casa of four hundred years ago give me two completely different feelings? What's going on?"
Bella seemed to chuckle, and her voice became clearer: "I was surprised I thought you would ask about the war first"
"Those wars are just games" Nataya glanced at Bella's back without changing her expression: "There is no need to deliberately mock me, a high-level demon who participated in the whole process of Ragnarok Bella"
When Adeline heard these words, she bit her lip, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. It seemed that it was because the other party frivolously linked the words war and games, but what really angered her was perhaps the fact that the other party claimed to be a high-ranking person. A demon with no shame in his tone, "If you want to reminisce about old times, can you please pause for a while? I'm not here to listen to you saying these useless words!"
"Isn't Kasa also a demon? And he's the one who created the demon army" Nataya glanced at Adeline next to her with a smile: "And, don't you also cooperate with me, a demon, to get closer? Is this a fact? Why are you still angry?"
Adeline choked hard at these words and chose to remain silent, turning to focus all her attention on Bella's back in front of her, as if hoping that the other party would answer her doubts quickly.
"As you know" As if she was unwilling to remain silent any longer, Bella still spoke: "The Casa now may not be the Casa you knew four hundred years ago, but .But it is the most authentic Casa. You should each have your own understanding of Casa. Let¡¯s talk about it"
The scenery next to the three people has slowly turned into the ruins of a palace. A broken marble pillar cast an equally skewed shadow in the broken garden pool. The reflections of the three women walked past the water one after another. Adeline tightened her fingers, but did not speak first. Natalya next to her frowned slightly, but still spoke: "Casa? You Are you talking about the king who doesn't want anything to escape his control and doesn't hesitate to use the skill of 'Void Swarm'? Or"
"The robber who can set the whole world on fire for his own selfish desires" Adeline raised her head, with a trace of blood on her lips: "The one who can't even extinguish the heart of Atlantis. Arsonist!¡±
"Because I have to kill peoplewhether it's for my own advancement or for entertainment in my spare time" A strange arc appeared at the corner of Nataya's mouth: "and I didn't want to be condemned by myself, so I created The dark god of hell"
"The liar who used his own end to escape from the promise!!" Adeline's tone became louder, with a trace of sadness attached to it: "The man who then forgot everything!"
"The producer of the game called 'World'" Natalya shook her head: "And the businessman who let us use ourselves as a trade to sell this game to us"
"The villain who broke the balance of the world!" Adeline lowered her eyes, her drooping left hand clenched unconsciously: "But at the last moment, he returned what the world lacked, the absolutely cruel emperor"
"That lazy person who ended an era with his own hands and attributed it all to the wishes of his former partners" Nataya seemed to be laughing at what she said: "Such an idiot who doesn't even bother to think about his own wishes. ¡±
The three of them all stood still. In front of them was a dilapidated hall. Most of the domed marble roof had disappeared, and the rose pattern carved on the pillars of the main entrance could still be vaguely seen. Looking back, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Bella's lips, as if she was unwilling to be forced by Nataya and Adeline in front of her.has completely disappeared: "Yes, we all have our own understanding of what Casa is like. But you don't seem to know the real him. He is just a somewhat willful guy"
"All emperors are spoiled bratsI've known this for a long time" Natalaya looked past Bella's body to the inside of the palace, as if trying to see clearly what was inside. Scene: "Then, take us in"
With a slight smile, Bella turned around and walked into the hall slowly, followed by Natalya and Adeline. As the distance got closer, the figure still sitting on the old throne in the hall also slowly walked in. It slowly became clear.
"Your Majesty I'm back" She knelt down gently, although Bella's voice did not receive a single response from the figure, because the figure sitting on the throne had her eyes completely closed, and there was no trace of blood on her left chest. The dagger with a bat-shaped hilt is particularly dazzling.
"Well" Adeline's body trembled involuntarily, her eyes fixed on the figure on the throne, her lips pursed slightly, but she did not make a sound. Next to her, Natalya paused thoughtfully, and then followed Bella and half-knelt down, but she didn't make a sound.
Without looking back, Bella, who was still half-kneeling, smiled slightly, with a hint of ridicule: "Adeline this scene is familiar You know this thing, but you don't know the other thing .That¡¯s why you¡¯re confused about Casa¡¯s forgetfulnessright?¡±
"" After a moment of silence, and looking at Adeline who didn't speak, Natalya's pupils shrank: "Sure enough you are the last assassin four hundred years ago .Adeline!¡±
"At that time, Ragnarok had reached its final stage, all the gods had been slaughtered, His Majesty had taken over the entire world, and almost all the resisters had been killed But at this time, a powerful resistance suddenly appeared Or" Bella's voice was light, as if she was just recalling some insignificant things: "And at this time, the upper echelons of high-level demons were assassinated in large numbers. It was like a flame that could never be extinguished. The demon tyrant Ka S.D. Lorraine was eventually assassinated and threatened to awaken again in four hundred years. The other high-level demons who lost their leaders sealed themselves or were forcibly sealed by rebels from various places. In this way, the demons The legion collapsed, and the entire world was temporarily freed from this huge curse. This was the final outcome of Ragnarok four hundred years agoor rather, the ending that a large number of people thought"
The figure on the throne suddenly became clear. Although it looked like the body of an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, he was wearing a torn black cloak, and the corners of his mouth still seemed to have a vague arc.
"This is the last appearance of His Majesty four hundred years ago" Bella stood up, looked at the young man on the throne, her tone was a little complicated: "In other words, what is here is just the memory of Casa's three days and those who have nothing to do with this. A power that is too powerful for the world, Casa's blood fruit has an extremely special featurethat is, the closer the body is to the level of being easier to carve, the stronger the overall strengthThe current Casa has compared It was too weak before, and here is the accumulated power that killed two-thirds of the world's human beingsand the memory of losing something precious and becoming cold and cruel"
"If there is someone who betrayed methat would be Casa D. Lorraine"
