Rhine Stories

"I... want to save people..."

The pond in front of him reflected his exhausted face, and the black sharp stakes seemed to be erecting a puppet. The bloody scene was really unpleasant.

"Since it's useless...give it to me...give me back Siegfried's..."

I have always believed that no matter what kind of storm, faith will definitely bring her a rainbow. Even in such an unfortunate and unsatisfactory life, Klinesed still believes that nothing is absolutely hopeless, just like what he chose at that time When she died, even though she was left at the end, Clinesed knew and understood...

Because too many people in this world don't understand him, so for that person, she can accept his choice, but...

"I have... lost my last... my only sustenance, so I can't let him die... absolutely can't let him die... so please... give me back Siegfried's heart... please It's..."

The cold rain hit the monster's body, and black dragon scales grew on the parts that were in contact with the stakes, but even so, the wounds could not heal. After all, it was not easy to suppress her in just an instant .

"I would do anything... just give me my heart... I... Fried can't die... he can't die..."

In front of her, the future Patriarch and King of Ugdomirenia watched her. The two seemed to have their own needs. Danik was thinking that she was not the monster the Germans wanted to catch a few years ago, but Vlad III only listened to her. As she said these inexplicable words, she gradually understood...

"Heart... just want a heart?"

Vlad III just glanced at her, and seeing that Danik was thinking about something, he asked, "That thing, it's useless to stay in the rest of the territory, right?"

"That's true, my king, but no one can get close to that heart, including you."

Having said this, Danic took a step forward, looked at the desperate Clinesid and said, "Although you are indeed sympathetic, but in this Mirenia, no...no one alive in the world can take to it."

"..."

For a moment, Clinesed seemed to be lifted up by Vlad III's words, but lost hope in an instant. Her empty golden pupils looked at Danic, and seeing his calm appearance was really indifferent, "What do you mean..."

In an instant, it was as if the world collapsed, and Clinesed felt that everything in front of her eyes was corroded by darkness, and she fell into a deeper abyss since then, and all she could think of was death.

"Siegfried's heart can only be obtained by a soulless person."

Everything around her, including the rainwater, turned blank at this moment. Klinesid stood blankly among the sharp piles, she could no longer feel any pain, but she was desperately thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

A person without a soul is also a person without a heart...

A person without a heart means death...

You can only get that person's heart unless it is a dead person, how could...

"..."

At this moment, Clinesid pursed her lips slightly and put her hands on her chest.

『"You died for me... I will never forgive you even if I die...!"』

Suddenly, a shout of anger came from the memory, the silver-haired man was crushed under the ruins in front of her, but he was holding her tightly, holding back the pain and shouting——

『"You are dead...I will not forgive you...!"』

I never thought that that person would order himself like this when he died, obviously he could live a peaceful life, obviously he could live peacefully until the end of his life, but why... in the end, he was like that person, because he died... ...?

"I... what I want..."

At this moment, it seemed that Klinesid had given up, so Vlad III removed the stake and watched her kneeling on the ground weakly.

"I...shouldn't be alive from the very beginning... let alone be loved, if it wasn't for me...they wouldn't die...I wouldn't be in such pain..."

Just like now, even death is not forgiven.

"'Fried'...sorry...sorry..."

Looking at herself like this, Clinesed didn't even have the qualifications to kill herself. No matter who it was, they would keep her and tell her that she couldn't die in a sacrificial way.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!!"

For a moment, all the desperation had made Clinesed's will collapse. She clenched her fists and smashed to the ground. She was irrational, and there were thousands of figures in her mind. Those warriors and loved ones who died because of her, if Ask Clinesed whether she regrets revenge now, the answer can be imagined...

"Look! This is the result of my one-month battle!"

On this day, Astolfo suddenly called Kleinside and the others together for a small meeting in the room between him and Chigurh.

"Ah... I thought something was wrong so early? Is this the map of Mirenia City?"

Not only Tulipas' model worker (Klinesed) was still sleepy at the moment, but Joan on the other side also rubbed her sleepy eyes and squinted at the results of the boy's battle. Only Zieg was very energetic Listen (the first one was called after all).

"That's right! Don't look at the castle where we live in Yugdomirenia now, but there are many things we can't get involved in!"

Astolfo said excitedly, ignoring the helpless expressions of the three, "So I want to inquire carefully, Clinesid, Joan of Arc, and Chigurh, why don't you join me together?!"

"Is this really good?"

Although Zieg didn't answer directly, he still couldn't hide his curiosity about the city of Mirenia, but he thought it was someone else's territory, so he still wanted to stop the car.

"I don't think it's better, Astolfo, don't treat this place as a playground..."

Before she could finish speaking, Joan paused, looked at Clinesed and said, "Yug Domirenians always have their own secrets."

"...?"

Immediately, seeing the three people looking at her in unison, Clinesed immediately raised her hands in surrender and said, "Me? I won't express my opinion."

"You... Aren't you interested?"

Hearing this, Astolfo immediately looked disappointed, and looked at them pitifully, "I really want to know about this city, and Clinesed, haven't you been with them too much recently? Is it near? I don't know where you went during the day..."

"I... aha, I went to the city to work as a bodyguard."

Seeing that the topic had shifted to herself, Clinesed immediately made up a reason with a wry smile: "After all, we can't stay in Mirenia for the rest of our lives, so we are working for the security of Tuliphas..."

As she said that, Kline looked to Joan, hoping that she would quickly smooth things over for her.

"Yeah, but you didn't even see any money when you worked for Yugdomirenia."

"Uh……"

This sentence is quite true.

"Anyway, it's better for us to live here and not cause trouble to them, so I'm sorry Astolfo, and Clinesed and I don't mind if you give up the idea of ​​exploring this castle."

Then, Joan made a quick conclusion, and grabbed Clinesid and went back to the room—continue to catch up on sleep.

"..."

But Astolfo still didn't want to give up, so he quickly looked at Sigurd next to him, expecting: "So what about you, Ziggy? Do you want to come with me?"

"..."

And Zigben is a person who will not refuse, so he didn't think much at this time, he could only agree, "If it's just today... I think it's okay..."

Soon, the day's itinerary began, and Clinesed came to the city according to the arrangement of the Yugdomirenians. He also monitored the crowd as before, and dealt with it in one go before the mutation happened.

In fact, regarding the fact that people become dragons for no reason, Clinesed knows that this only happens in Tulifas, so she also understands that this means that Tulifas or Yogdo Mirenia was targeted by someone , only for who... Maybe it's also Hagen.

After all, that man was not understood even though he was loyal in everything he did during his lifetime. Therefore, it is not surprising that his temperament has changed drastically and his methods have become worse. It is just that he would attack innocent people. Clinesed was surprised that Hagen would become so vicious .

Therefore, the current Clinesed hopes that Hagen will not hurt anyone and come directly to himself.

"Miss Clearhead."

At this time, a pair of hands was holding hot tea and handing it over, making Kleinshid, who was holding the Gram, look up and stare at her blankly.

"Did it come from the tavern? Thank you."

Clinesid immediately took the teacup from the artificial man gratefully, took a sip quietly and held it in his hand, "It seems that today is very calm, the worst situation before was twenty mutant events in a week ah."

"Yes, it really got everyone busy at the time."

The artificial man didn't leave, but just sat on the bench next to Clinesed, chatting with her about the Dao of Heaven.

"...but I am very happy because you are with me. Although you can't laugh or get angry, you are just like Jeanne and the others, and you are all my friends."

At this time, Clinesed looked at her, and then at the other artificial humans who were patrolling not far away, "That guy Gould refuses to admit you, even the Yogdomirenians regard you as Consumables, you all have to be proud of yourselves... because I can see that you can have yourselves and have the opportunity to be human."

"..."

Hearing this, the artificial man couldn't help but tilt his head. In fact, he didn't know how to answer these words of Clinesed, but she was a little satisfied, and she would also relay the original words of Princess Burgundy to other companions, " As you said, with a beating heart, you're fully human."

"Although I don't want to talk too much about religion, I insist on the saying that the heart is the soul. Of course, it may be because the people around me have lost it. Therefore, I have this view naturally, and I don't think it is a bad thing."

After finishing speaking, Kleinshid looked at the sky and said softly, "It is a serious sin to hurt yourself, so in my beliefs, I can't forgive people who commit suicide. No matter who they are... they should cherish themselves."

After the words fell, Kleinshid slowly lowered her head again, calmed down for a while before standing up and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I said, everyone will not be weak as long as they do what they can do."

"..."

Hearing this, the cyborg didn't answer, but just watched Kleinshid go away, and then silently bowed his head to thank her when she turned the corner and walked away.

"..."

After bidding farewell to the artificial man, Clinesed suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. She was a little concerned about the way a few birds were flying back and forth, and always felt...they looked very disturbed.

Thinking about it carefully, when she saw the mutated dragon species for the first time, Clinesed also saw such a scene. Although it was a pity that Fafnir's blood did not allow her to gain the ability to understand animal languages, but she It is still possible to judge bad luck based on the behavior of the bird.

Originally, she also had a little predictive ability...

"But the direction is not Tuliphas."

Seeing the direction in which the bird was flying away, Clinesed quickly locked on to the target, but she didn't ask the artificial man to go with her, she just walked to the outskirts alone with GRAM.

That was the rear of Mirenia City, and few people entered the lush forest, so it was conceivable that it must be gloomy at night.

"Actually...even in Worms,

Father will also insist on cutting down these forests. 』

For some reason, Clinesed suddenly remembered about Dankrate. In fact, Clinesed has always been in awe of her father. He is indeed a wise king, but she loves her three brothers more than herself, especially her father. It's... Gisele Hale.

"..."

Suddenly, Clinesed stopped in her tracks, and silently brought the Gram beside her to her eyes.

However, Clinesed did not speak, but she did feel that someone was behind her, and at the same time, quietly, she was ready to attack herself.

In only a few seconds, from drawing the sword to turning around to resist, although the visitor is not a violent dragon, he is by no means a kind person.

"At this time, it's better not to talk about so-called morality. 』

At this moment, Clinesed looked at the GRAM in her hand, and when she suddenly turned around, she pulled out her sharp sword. Sure enough, someone attacked directly, with great force.

'sulfuric acid--! '

Seeing a flash of fire, Clinesid almost let go of the scabbard in her hand, but she didn't have time to look at the opponent's appearance at this time, but the weapon in that person's hand was somewhat familiar, especially the cross. I have seen it.

"..."

But at this time, the opponent didn't intend to give her a chance to relax, so she quickly moved away and swung the sword vigorously, which made Clinesid immediately raise her head.

"Zi... Siegfried..."

At this moment, it was as if the whole world had entered into a dream with Clinessid. The silver-haired and blue-eyed swordsman in front of him was undoubtedly Siegfried himself, but he was standing here now, with those eyes looking at him.

"...you...how do you..."

Klinested had many questions in her heart, but the man in front of her didn't give her any response, not only opened her defense, but also took advantage of the gap to attack, which made Klinesed unable to defend herself, so she could only hold the GRAM tightly. Desperately resisting, the last one turned sideways, and the violently swung sword scratched the man's cheek, which made him stop.

"Stop...stop Siegfried, I don't want to hurt you."

At this moment, Kleinshid was holding the Gram, and watched the silver-haired man turn around in front of him. There was no emotion in those deep green eyes. He just stared straight at her, and silently raised his hand to wipe his cheek. Bloodstains on.

It was originally a wound made by Clinesed, but it healed in a blink of an eye, and the time came faster than Clinesed's.

"Why are you here...haven't you already..."

Gradually, Clinesed could no longer hold her tightly, but she was definitely not shocked, but scared, thinking that if even Ladycia can be brought back to life, then Siegfried's resurrection is not impossible...

It's just that he sacrificed himself out of intention at that time, if he came back now, he would definitely be beheaded in the name of 'justice', right?

And Hagen, to what extent will he be willing to give up?

"Don't tell me it's true...don't tell me..."

At this moment, Clinesed watched Ziegfei take a step towards him, and then immediately backed away continuously.

No matter what, she couldn't do anything to this man, not because she loved him and felt guilty about him, but because she didn't want to hurt this man again, even though he wanted his own life now.

"What's the matter, sister, have you forgotten how you killed us at that time?"

Suddenly, a voice shocked Klinesed, and she couldn't help but look behind Siegfried in amazement, and a figure was slowly walking up, "Your heart at that time was not at all like it is now, is it because of sin? Don't you feel that you don't even have the dignity of Dankrate's children?"

"..."

For a moment, Clinesed felt that her eyes went dark, and she lost all thoughts, and the strength in her hands softened, and she pointed the GRAM for self-defense to the ground, and she couldn't lift it up, "Gee... …you……"

Although Klinesid thought for a moment that Hagen might wake up other people, but when she came up and saw the two people she once loved, Klinesid fully understood that she couldn't win Hagen at all. .

"Clinsed, raise your sword, didn't you decide to fight for the people of Tulipas?"

At this time, the blond man took a step forward, folded his arms and admired Clinesid's pained appearance, "But the dragons you killed were all the people of Tuliphas. over here, so you end up doing exactly the same thing.”

Saying that, Giselle Haier came up and watched Klinesed shake her head desperately, trying to cover her ears, "Please...don't say anything..."

The Gram in her hand was released immediately, and Clinesid sat powerlessly on the ground, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "Please don't say it...I beg you..."

"It's really strange... You dragged all of us because of this man. Do you regret it? Because your lover has unfortunately ended up like this, and you don't even care about your relatives?"

"no!!"

Suddenly, Clinesid raised her head and yelled, but Gisele Haile had already walked in front of her and pinched her chin fiercely, "So is it your own revenge? With that man's death as an excuse, for Revenge for your own unsatisfactory life? Clinesed, you really deserve to die."

"Yes... I'm damned... But, Gisele Hale... I beg your forgiveness, please forgive me, forgive me for what I did to you!"

At this moment, Klinesed immediately grabbed Gisele Haier's hand, hoping that he would not leave, "I know that I am sorry for you, I am sorry for all of you...so...I will make it up, even if I am lost forever, I will will be compensated!"

"Compensation? Heh...then let's start with the first person you feel sorry for."

At this time, Giselle sneered suddenly, shook off Klinesed's hand, and walked towards Siegfried, "The one in front of you is undoubtedly Siegfried himself, but this body is not his."

"..."

These words hit Clinesid's heart like a heavy hammer, "Are you... are you Fried...?"

"Ah, it's the man you met in Germany. How about it? The new and old love finally merged into one. Not a bad masterpiece, isn't it?"

"..."

In an instant, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and Clinesid fell on the ground, not even having the courage to cry, "No...it's not like this...how could Hagen do this...he can't..."

"Hagen can do anything now. In order to deal with you, he has already done everything."

As she said that, Giselle Haile sneered, looked at Clinesed and said, "But... if you really want to revive Siegfried, there is no way out. Didn't you just say that you want to make up for it? Then let's start with Siegfried."

"..."

Immediately, Clinesed stared at him blankly, her will completely broken down.

"It's actually very simple, as long as you take Siegfried's heart, go to Hagen and say that you are willing to sacrifice yourself."

Saying that, Gisele Hale's words undoubtedly hit Clinesid to the point where she couldn't stand up again, and..., "Hagen has Siegfried's body in his hand, the only thing missing is the heart and you This is a large blood bank, so you don’t need to think about it, the blood of Fafnir in your body belongs to him.”

"..."

No matter what kind of story,

No matter how sad and bloody the ending,

Clinesed once believed,

Forgiveness, forgiveness is the greatest gift,

So she didn't think about it,

I even want to dream of the most important person,

No matter who it is, after a long fight,

Smile at her and forgive her,

But now Gisele Hale's words,

The younger brother who has always loved and felt ashamed,

Has hated her to the point of bluntly telling her to die,

So...there is no forgiven ending in the world,

Human emotions are not that great,

Even the most gentle and kind hero,

He will always be pushed to death by the evil he planted.

"Then let's catch up with my sister, Siegfried."

And Jisse Haier left such a sentence and marched towards the city of Mirenia. Before even a moment passed, the birds were startled, and the foundations of the entire Tuliphas were shaking. All that could be seen were buildings In addition to gradually shattering, there are also Vlad III's spurs densely appearing around the city of Mirenia...

"..."

However, I don't know how long it took, and Clinested's consciousness has not returned to reality, but her body gradually supports her, watching the silver-haired man walk up to her, holding the BALMUNG she is all too familiar with.

"Siegfried..."

She watched him raise his sword towards her now, showing no mercy at all...
