Chapter 311 Are you leaving?
"You go back first." Leila interrupted her.
However, this time Lilith refused to obey the sister she usually didn't dare to mess with, "If I hadn't discovered it, how long would you and Catherine have kept it a secret from me?"
"…Is this the time to talk about this?!" Leila pursed her lips, still avoiding the main point, and even asked first, "Ozler is obviously not open to non-graduates, why did you come here on your own?!"
Lilith opened her mouth in vain.
"…It's me. It's because of me." Bobby said in a trance while looking at the blazing fire. "I, I've always wanted to participate in the College Cup. I want to gain experience. Sean knows what I want to do, so he insisted on coming here after leaving the Magic Swamp Forest. He did it for me. I know…"
"It's all because of me..." He covered his face and trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing Bobby like this, Leila pursed her lips and said nothing more. She turned her head and saw that she had pressed Lilith to sit on the stone pier beside the mill wall. The latter had been like a withered stone statue. Leila felt a little reluctant and didn't want to blame her in front of her classmates, so she slowed down her voice.
"It's still not safe here. I have to catch up with Her Highness Catherine. You should go back to Goletia now. You and your classmates need treatment and rest." She squatted down and grabbed Lilith's hand. "Okay, sister?"
Lilith looked at the little red-haired girl in front of her. She seemed to have a hard time these days. Compared to her days in Gloria, she was obviously much thinner and her eyes were blue and black.
Lilith looked at her sister like this, and then looked at her companions behind her. They were now just coated with a lot of potions to remove the blood of the void beast, but the wounds were still there...
"Okay." Lilith nodded dazedly, "I'll go back first. I'll wait for you to come back."
Leila felt a little sad, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her promise. She stood up and pulled Lilith up with her.
With Lilith's statement, the others also started to move. Jaina and her guardian were the most seriously injured. They and Bobby were the first to disappear on the spot. The crowd gradually decreased, and finally only she and Lucas Ian were left.
"Lilith, let's go..." Ian came over and whispered. His black clothes made it impossible to see his injuries clearly, but looking at his pale face, one could tell that he must be seriously injured. Lilith took a deep breath and regained her sanity. She turned around and walked towards the gargoyle that flew down from the top of the mill tower.
It was no longer lying there docilely and lazily as usual. Now it was standing on its hind legs like a human, covered in the blood of the Void Beast. It looked as horrible as a demon crawling out of hell. But when Lilith reached out her hand to clean it, it suddenly took a step back.
Lilith froze in place.
"You..." Lilith looked at it in surprise, regretting that she had not given this guy a name yet. She had few opportunities to command it on weekdays. Now she wanted to call it over, but she didn't know how to call it.
The gargoyle crushed the light spear in its hand under the moonlight. The light spear was like a magical candy, breaking in the night with a crackling sound. It turned around and walked a few steps to the top of the hill behind the mill, and looked back at Lilith again. Now Lilith finally understood something -
"Are you leaving?" Lilith approached it with a trembling voice.
In the past, the gargoyle was restricted by the door frame of Goletia, and always moved with its body hunched and wings tucked in. Now it stood up straight, more than two meters tall, and Lilith had to look up at it. When the gargoyle heard what she said, it did not purr at her intimately as before, but just looked at her silently.
"...Is this your mission?" Lilith gradually understood everything, why it always cared about nothing, why it never responded to her attack orders, no matter who the target was.
It has only one goal, and it has always had only one goal, and it has not changed for thousands of years.
"What makes you stick to such a duty?" Lilith choked and touched a corner of the gargoyle's bat wing. The other party finally lowered his body and lowered his head, gently touching her head and making a gurgling sound as a comfort.
A slight vibration came from the place where her head was resting, causing Lilith's chest to vibrate as well, almost causing her to blurt out words to try to keep him.
"Let's go..." Lilith gritted her teeth and took a few steps back, looking at the silent partner who had accompanied her for many years.
"Go where you are supposed to be, Night Wanderer."
The gargoyle did not hesitate for a moment. As soon as Lilith finished speaking, it spread its bat wings in the dark night, and kicked up the floating snow on the ground when it took off. It took one last look at Lilith and flew away to the east.
The beast that used to be so gentle has now become the guardian of the night. If it weren't for it, the casualties tonight would be incalculable. However, just when they knew its ability, it left.
The remaining people were speechless for a moment, and it was Leila who urged them again that made Lucas grit his teeth and pull Lilith back, "We have to go. The sooner we leave, the sooner your sister can meet up with the others. Do you want her to be alone?"
Lilith looked at Leila who was looking at her by the fire. She grabbed Ian and Lucas' hands and crushed the slug flowers in her hands.
The lights are bright by the fountain of Goletia.
A hearty laugh was heard, and Lilith looked over in amazement. A group of dwarves had just walked out of the bar street, holding each other's shoulders, staggering and laughing loudly on the road at night. When they passed by Lilith and her group, a dwarf with a yellow beard turned his head to look at them and shouted hello -
"Hey, our little explorers from Goletia are back, hahaha!"
——The cold wind and the smell of blood disappeared, and she could only smell the alcohol, tobacco, and the stew from the Red Maple Leaf Tavern that stained their bodies... This place seemed like another world.
"Hey, this is... Miss Lilith?" Another drunk dwarf came over, looked up at the disheveled girl, and recognized her by her blonde hair and height. Now the group of dwarves became more enthusiastic and came over to chat with the winery owner.
But the boss Lilith silently tilted her body, fainted, and fell straight towards the dwarves.
"This! I didn't touch her!" A dwarf wearing a blue cloth hat supported Lilith's fallen shoulder. He was half sobered up from the fright. He turned his head to explain to Lilith's boss' partner, but found that the other two were now a little unconscious.
"What's wrong? What happened?" A group of dwarfs were carrying people and turning around anxiously. "Is Boss Lilith going to die? Are we going to have no wine to drink anymore?"
"Tsk, is alcohol all you guys have on your minds?" a voice came from the sky.
A slender lady rode a broom and stopped in front of several people. She had just sent off the first batch of students, so how come she missed a few more? She looked up at the night sky with a headache, frowned and sighed -
"Tonight is truly an unforgettable night."
