The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

Already, can't find it anymore? Juss, who had searched almost everything he knew, stood blankly in the deserted castle hall.

It was late at night, and all the people in the castle had fallen asleep. Only the magic lamps loyal to their duties were still emitting a faint light, illuminating the dark castle hall.

When I realized that I would never see the book again, and never hear the familiar singing, Juss’s mind was left with only the good memories, those that once touched and excited him. happiness memory.

When you understand that you have lost, those memories become more important and more heartbreaking.

This feeling is sad.

"Bang!" Just when Juss felt that he was going to be unable to do anything, and even almost gave up hope. His heart beat violently again. It was the same as when he suddenly realized that the book was missing.

"Ah!" Juss raised his head suddenly and looked in front of him with an incredible look. There, it is the direction of the castle gate and the direction to the small town below the mountain.

There is no reason at all, a strong feeling tells him that what he is looking for is in that direction, at the end of the feeling of heartbeat.

Euses did not hesitate, although the gate of the castle is a drawbridge type, under normal circumstances, the mechanism must be activated before it can be opened. But for him now, this can no longer stop him.

"Da!" With his toes tapping the ground lightly, Juses took advantage of a protruding point on the wall to directly use a continuous jump to rush to the top of the wall, and then directly jumped off the high wall.

With brisk jumping, rapid tossing, simple and direct movements, Euses easily passed through the barrier of the castle gate and came to the outside of the castle.

In front of him, there is nothing to stop him.

Juss ran at full speed, and the surrounding scenery quickly passed by him. Some small animals that came out in the winter night looking for food curiously looked at this white shadow that was moving at an incredible speed on the road, seeming to not understand. What kind of creature can run so fast at night.

Euses could hear it, although it was not the real voice. However, in a certain direction, that familiar melody did echo. It was a melody he couldn't be more familiar with, and it belonged to Annie.

It will not be simply taken away.

That kind of thing is not allowed.

Open your eyes and look at the world firmly.

Don't give up your hope until the last minute.

It is this melody, this melody full of hope and vitality, that guides him, guides him, and makes him move toward a certain position. It is this melody that makes his heart beat uncontrollably, and every beat points to a certain fixed direction.

It was over there... Just as he was about to enter the town, Juss stopped suddenly. Although it was indeed correct in this direction, it was not the place he had been, but another place, which seemed not to be in the town.

Yes, that direction...Uses used exactly the same method as before, jumped directly onto the roof, and started to run ignoring all terrain obstacles. The shortest between the two points is a straight line, and anxiously, he no longer intends to run along the road.

The small town was immediately left behind by him. Next, he ran to a place he had never been before, and the place where the melody came from was right in front of him.

Closer, closer. That's right, it's here. The things he was looking for, the things he lost once, are right in front of this.

It didn't take too long, although not as fast as Schumacher of the Paladins. But for the distance of a few kilometers, for the present Uses, it only takes a little time. Soon, he came to his destination.

Here is a church in a small wood about a few kilometers away from the town, representing the iconic building of the Supreme Church.

This little church is hidden in the woods, unremarkable. If it hadn't been for Euses to walk in by himself, I'm afraid there would be no way to find it even standing outside the woods.

However, it is indeed here, right in front of him. Although it is very weak, it does exude a certain kind of magical aura. It was that kind of breath that caused the natural reaction of Juss's white robe.

"This is..." Juss stood outside the door of the church, silently looking at the quiet building. He couldn't feel anyone here. Judging from the dust on the door, it seemed that this church had been abandoned for a while.

Some hardy plants grow on the walls of this church, which seems to have been abandoned. Even in this winter night, these plants are still tirelessly absorbing nutrients from the soil, making themselves tougher.

Here, the traces of human beings are gradually being erased by nature, and the arrival of Juss broke the silence here.

The familiar melody no longer knows when it will stop, but Juss knows that what he is looking for is in it, in this church where no one seems to come to pray anymore.

Even though, that door seems to have not been opened for several years.

With a sound of "Crack!" Juses pushed open the door of the church that hadn't been pushed open in years. When his hand touched the door, a faint white light appeared, as if trying to block his actions. But when the light touched Juss's body, to be precise, after the white robe he was wearing, it quickly disappeared without a trace. Then, the whole church opened to Juss.

The magic crystal lamps that no one has used in the church for so many years are lit up one by one. Although a lot of dust has accumulated on the door of the church, there is not much dust inside the church. This shows that before leaving, the previous owner here carefully performed magic skills of a high level on this church, so that the inside of this church has always maintained its original appearance without anyone breaking into it.

However, for unknown reasons, no one seemed to inherit this small church. Until this night, Juss came here.

"Da! Da!" The sound of footsteps broke the silence of the church. Under the soft light, Juss slowly walked into this church that no one had been here for years.

In the very center of the church is a white cross, which is a symbol of the Supreme Church, exuding a refreshing breath. Even in this empty church, it is sacred and inviolable.

"Here..." Juss stopped, everything here gave him a familiar feeling. He came to church for the first time since he was conscious. However, he is not unfamiliar with this atmosphere, this quiet and peaceful sacred atmosphere.

It's like, in the distant past, he has been to a place similar to this place more than once, and a place similar to this place.

That kind of bright and warm feeling surrounded him, comforting him, as if he could hear the whispering whispers in his ears. Close your eyes and the world becomes extremely quiet. It seemed that he was the only one left in the whole world.

"..." Juses took a step back. Why does it feel like this? Why, after coming here, the feeling of sadness in your chest will become deeper and deeper? Has anything ever happened here?

In the cold winter night, the white gas exhaled from Juss's mouth slowly rose until it completely blended into the white sky above the church. There was silence around, and there was no sound of the little animals moving in the winter night, only the sound of Juss’ own breathing and the sound of the heart beating violently because of too much excitement.

Just when Juss thought this silence seemed to last forever, a soft voice came from the center of the church, in the direction of the white cross.

"Boom!" The voice was so small that ordinary people would not be able to hear it if they didn't **** their ears to listen carefully.

However, in Juses' ears, the voice was unusually loud. Because this was the only voice he heard when he came to this church. In this silent and sacred place, there was the only sound except his breathing and heartbeat.

"Boom!" The second sound continued, the sound was not very loud, as if a small animal was gently tapping something.

"Where?" Juss's heartbeat speeded up suddenly. In this church where it was obvious that no one had come for a long time, this voice was the only clue he found.

Is there the book he was looking for in the place where this voice came from? Euses didn't know, he could no longer hear the familiar melody in his ears. After coming to this church, all clues disappeared. There is only this little voice that seems to be ignored if you don't pay attention.

"Da! Da!" Euses' footsteps echoed in the empty church. It's just that the insignificant sound of footsteps completely concealed the little knocking sound. It is enough to explain how slight the sound is.

The church is not big, except for the most central cross, everything else is very simple, without any luxurious decorations. Therefore, Euses is very simple, it is easy to find the location of the voice.

It is located behind the white ten-shelf, inside a slightly thick white wooden cabinet. In this church, only there, there seems to be something to hide.

The upper surface of the white wooden cabinet is very smooth, and the center is carved with a patterned cross mark, which can be regarded as the most exquisite thing in this simple chapel. According to what Euses learned from the book, this should be the holy cabinet, the most important storage cabinet in the church that only the priest allowed to open. However, generally speaking, it is not a valuable item. It is called the holy cabinet because it is a place where prayer tools and books are stored.

"Boom!" A slight voice continued to be heard from the white holy cabinet, and once, again, it struck Jusis's uneasy heart.

"It's so dark!" Suddenly, a somewhat disturbed voice came from the closed white holy cabinet.

Juss's footsteps suddenly stopped. Is this voice his illusion? Why is it so familiar? It seemed to have echoed by his side more than once, in the form of songs.

"It's so narrow, where is this place?" The voice, Juses' familiar voice, continued to come from the white holy cabinet. It feels like, as if someone is locked in there.

However, Euses clearly saw that there was a lock on the top of the white holy cabinet, and a lock that locked the two doors of the white holy cabinet well. The lock is intact and shows no signs of damage.

"Ah..." Juss stood blankly in front of the white holy cabinet. Now, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can touch the lock and open the sealed cabinet door. But, don't know why, he has a feeling that if he opens it, maybe he can't go back to the past.

What will be behind this door? Just that book, or...

"Is anyone there?" It seemed that I heard Juss's voice. From the white holy cabinet, there was an uneasy voice, but he did not give up hope at all. That was the voice of a certain girl.

"Is anyone here? Can you open this place?" That is a strong and confident voice that will not give up hope at the end. However, it seemed that it was because of being too scared. There was a trace of anxiety and a trace of panic in this voice.

"Who?" It's almost the same question, but Juss's voice is full of doubt and bewilderment. He didn't expect that when he was looking for the missing book, he would encounter such a thing in the end.

"Ah, there are really people, can you open it? It's really dark and narrow here." After confirming that there are people outside, I don't know why the girl who seemed to be locked in the white holy cabinet made a happy voice. . The anxiety and panic just now seemed to disappear all at once.

"Please, open, I'm not a bad person!" The girl's voice became more energetic with the knocking sound a little louder than before.

Open it... Although it is completely unclear what is going on, Euses finally decided to open the door of the white holy cabinet. No matter what you think, the people locked in it are really pitiful.

"Pop!" Euses firmly grasped the lock, but before he could pull the lock from the white holy cabinet, he seemed to admit that he was qualified to open the door and the lock was automatically released.

"Ah! Open it, let it go!" The door of the white holy cabinet moved slightly, as if the people inside were confirming the fact that the door had been opened.

"Tap!" The sound similar to the tapping sounded several times. However, after a few minutes, the tightly closed door showed no sign of opening, so much so that Juss felt that he had waited too long.

"Woo...I can't open it, why is it so heavy!" The energetic voice seemed to finally understand. For her, opening this door was an impossible task, and she seemed to become a little frustrated.

Heavy? Juses looked at the white holy cabinet. Although the overall shape was slightly thick, it was not a prop for imprisoning people.

Juss put his hands on the door of the white holy cabinet and pulled it gently. Without much effort, the closed door was opened naturally.

However, it was clear that Juss had forgotten that he was not the only one who wanted to open this door.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" From the white holy cabinet that had just been tightly closed, a girl fell down completely out of balance. Judging from the hands she stretched forward, she was still trying desperately to open the closed door just now. She seemed unprepared for the door that was suddenly opened.

Also unprepared was Uss. He didn't expect him to be like this when the door was opened. He was blown down by the girl who fell directly from the cabinet.

Before opening the door next time, you must be prepared to prevent shocks, Juss thought calmly, who was directly overwhelmed by the girl who appeared suddenly.

With a sound of "pop!", the two of them fell neatly on the clean floor of the church together without any muddle.

A white straw hat "guru" fell to the ground, then turned a few times, and stopped about three meters away from Juss.

"Ah, it hurts..." Although Eusis was used as a buffer, the girl suddenly fell to the ground, and it seemed to make the girl feel unusual pain, as if the whole body had hit the body of some kind of animal. Same.

For Euses, of course this shock counts nothing. If it hadn't happened too suddenly, he might be able to use a highly difficult maneuver like a backflip and turn 720 degrees from behind the group perfectly.

He was overwhelmed on the ground, and did not see the girl clearly, only the white dress and the pink hair on his face. In the hair, there was a faint scent of a girl's hair, which was a dreamlike smell, a smell that made Juss feel where he had smelled it.

With such close contact, Juss could clearly feel the temperature of the opponent's skin and the soft body, which was completely different from the Ice Phoenix mother and Shiraz teacher.

"Ah, sorry, I accidentally fell, are you okay?" After a minute, the girl who fell on Juss seemed to finally realize that there seemed to be a certain degree of impropriety in this posture, and worked very hard to leave. Euses' body.

"It doesn't matter..." Juss also stood up, and then cast his eyes on the girl who appeared suddenly.

At that moment, he stopped breathing.

At that moment, his heart solidified.

At that moment, some tearing pain swept through his body.

At that moment, his peaceful heart, warm and happy life, began to leave him.

At that moment, the soul who had been sleeping in a certain corner of his heart, should have continued to sleep, and shouldn't wake up again, opened his eyes.

At that moment, from a long, long time ago, the time that was stagnant, the time that was frozen, and the time that was forgotten, began to flow again.

"Is there anything weird on my face?" The girl rescued by Juss from the closed white holy cabinet looked at him anxiously, as if wondering what was wrong with her appearance.

No, of course there is no such thing. Because, in front of Euses, there is a cute face. Although his face is a little pale, it may be due to the fact that he has just tried desperately, and a trace of blush still stays on this face, making this cute face more. A vitality, a lack of weakness.

Juss had never seen this girl. Really, he didn't have any relevant memories. But is this really the case? If there is really no memory, then what is the sad feeling in the chest, what is this feeling as if the world has lost its color?

It hurts, not only the pain in the heart, but the body is also screaming, as if some sharp weapon is hurting this body. It is a kind of terrifying power, without end, without limit, because it is "infinite".

Then Juss saw it, not through his own eyes, but through his own heart, and saw the sight that had appeared in his dream once.

That is a book, a huge, black book. In the middle of the book, there is a black figure wearing black armor and surrounded by a black halo composed of countless golden runes. Outside that halo, there are many dark gray chains that lock the figure that exudes powerful power from the whole body.

He has seen this shadow more than once. In the dream, he clearly felt the exhausted feeling from the seemingly powerful figure.

He was tired, scarred, and bruised.

Carry everything on my back, don't plan to share it with anyone, don't plan to let anyone know. Just a person, lonely and lonely, leaving all the sad things to himself, and then showing a smile to everyone.

Gentle, he actually doesn't have anything like that. It’s just that I don’t want to worry about others, and I don’t want others to experience the same sadness as myself. It is precisely because he knows how painful it is to lose important things, that's why he wants to do something, so he wants to be something.

But now, he saw it again, saw something he had lost once, something important. Not the figure holding the sword, but the girl who is still alive and smiling hard even if she is not in good health.

Even if she was as clumsy as before, and as clumsy as before. However, in his eyes, that was her who he knew. Instead of standing alone on the sword hill, looking at the enemy in the infinite wilderness with cold eyes.

"Ding!" The red and black magic sword raised, the gray chains were all cut off, all the shackles were released, and he walked out just for the miracle in front of him.

At this moment, Euses fell into a deep sleep, and appeared in front of the somewhat bewildered girl in white clothes. It was a young man named "Ulysses" who had fallen asleep for a while and had forgotten everything.

"What's your name?" Ulysses stretched out his hand and faced the miracle in front of him with a smile no one knew, his forgotten memory, the deepest memory.

Long pink hair, sick face, and, that's too reluctant to own character. Really, it looks so alike. In other words, it should be exactly the same.

You Liya, meet again.

"I, I'm Annie."
