He Holds a Rose from the Abyss

Chapter 30

Hes right, curiosity is the most important quality of a magician, and losing that will lead to accomplishing nothing, Sheffield said.

Chi Lang: Im not talking about that, I wanted to ask, did you and the Howard family have any kind of relationship?

Relationship? Before I became a demon lord, I probably had this familys blood in me.

Before becoming a demon lord? Chi Langs heart welled up with a kind of unexplained sadness, Why did you become a demon lord?

Dont remember, Sheffield smiled.

Chi Lang was a little disappointed, he looked at his toes: You dont remember or you just dont want to tell me After he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and hurriedly added in a low voice: I dont blame you. I just want to understand you a little more.

Sheffield paused for a moment. He had always been polite and gentle in front of Chi Lang, and rarely showed his dark side.

He tried as much as possible to appear like a genuinely mild-mannered young man with no bitter past so that he could take possession of his rose with a clear conscience.

But occasionally, for a few seconds, he would clearly realize that it was all an illusion, like a colorful soap bubble wrapped in filth, and when it was punctured one day, his despicableness and ugliness would have nowhere to hide.

However, in the next moment, Chi Lang hugged him and leaned in front of him.

Chi Langs right hand gently patted Sheffields back, and he whispered, Its alright, everything has passed, if you want to tell me, you can tell me then.

Sheffield felt Chi Langs touch on his back, and his heart suddenly became very soft, and then an uncontrollable thought surged up, he really wanted to test Chi Langs bottom line.

He handed Chi Lang a book. This book looks very new, it is the latest edition of Huberts Biography, and basically every magician must read it when he enters the school.

The description of Hubert in this book is that he successfully sealed the Demon Lord and stopped the malice from the abyss.

You know why he didnt kill me?

Chi Lang inexplicably felt that Sheffields expression was a little sad at this time.

Because the price of killing the Demon Lord is to become a new Demon Lord.

Chi Lang held his breath, he felt as if time had stood still, a great sense of sadness swept through the heavy years.

So, it was you who killed the last demon lord?

Yes.

The sky outside the window was very gloomy, and there was a bleak light on the ground. Chi Lang suddenly felt Sheffield hug him in return and buried his head in the nape of his neck.

Chi Lang asked cautiously, After becoming the Demon Lord, what about your friends, family members, or other people you know?

I lost them. Sheffield whispered, For a long time, I couldnt leave the abyss, and by the time I could, the world outside was completely different.

And I, after walking around outside, found that the Abyss was the only place for me to stay, so I went back in.

Chi Lang asked, Then why did you appear here this time?

I dont have any hatred for the church and the Magician Association, but since they want to kill me, I also have the right to retaliate.

Before I met you, I had thought that I could die by their hands if I had no other choice at the end. This kind of pain should continue on them.

Chi Langs mind was very chaotic and confused, and he could only say awkwardly: Trust me, this world is still very beautiful, its not just fighting and killing, I think its very good to keep studying one thing like Luth did happily. You can find new beliefs to keep you going

Sheffield interrupted him: Chi Lang you are now the light of my faith.

This should have been a very moving statement.

However, Chi Lang resolutely broke free from Sheffields arms. He took Sheffields hand and let Sheffield sit on the chair.

He touched Sheffields head and said softly, No, no one can be another persons belief. It is very unacceptable to put your faith on me.

I have no way to relieve your pain, if only I were luckier, so that I could give you half of my luck, so that you would be lucky in the future.

Ah, no, although I am unlucky, I can still give you my luck, and the misfortune of two people seems to be less unfortunate

Chi Lang felt a little embarrassed: I will accompany you, we can ignore the Howard family, and Margaret, and, um, cant remember the name. There are so many interesting things to do, theres bound to be something to make you believe again.

There wont be, Sheffield thought.

It was just that the person in front of him did make him feel that the future was bright.

He desperately wanted to do something to prove that this person belonged to him.

Sheffield asked: Can I kiss you?

Chi Lang answered very quickly: Yes. After he finished speaking, he thought of something and added: But when you kiss, dontdont do anything, you behave a little.

Sheffield stood up and kissed him first on the forehead, then on the tip of his nose, and finally lingered between his lips and teeth for a while

In this delicate kiss, Chi Lang felt that Sheffield was still a little sad.

He wanted to expel this sadness. He said, Is the abyss cold? If its not cold, I can accompany you Actually, it doesnt matter if its cold, just bring more clothes.
