"Angel's Heart? Tragedy? "
Hearing Kris's words, Sasha was somewhat dazed. How could an incomparably beautiful name, filled with light and hope, be related to tragedy?
Kris held back her grief. She stretched her right hand to her neck and gripped a gem that hung around her neck tightly.
"This, is the Angel's Heart!"
Opening her palm, Chu Rui and the others finally saw the so-called Angel's Heart.
It was an exceptionally beautiful gem, the entire stone overflowing with a huge amount of light energy. The gentle and warm light illuminated the entire gloomy cave, making it incomparably beautiful. The white light on Kris's body came from this. To be able to let an ordinary human like Kris stay in this cave full of miasma and demonic energy for so long without being infected, it could be seen how powerful this Angel's Heart was.
"The … tragedy you speak of … is?"
Chu Rui stared at the white Angel's Heart for a while, then raised his head to look at Kris. He deliberated for a moment, but still said it.
"Look at the words on this Angel's Heart."
Kris forced a smile, raising the Angel's Heart a little higher.
Chu Rui and the others immediately went forward.
There were three capital letters at the bottom of the Angel's Heart!
K,L,H！
"This is?" Chu Rui looked at Kris, very puzzled, waiting for her answer.
"These three letters are the abbreviations of our names." Kris gently stroked the three engraved letters on the Angel's Heart, using her fingers to feel the engravings on it, her expression full of nostalgia.
"K, Kris! L, Ronnie! As for H, it's Halief's name! "Kris said with a smile, faint traces of tears on her face.
"Halief? Who is he? " The sharp Chu Rui clearly felt the change in Kris's expression, knowing that this Halief was definitely not simple.
"Halief, he's the same as me and Ronnie, a companion who grew up together. Halief has taken care of me since I was young. He's handsome, strong, gentle, and brave, the strongest warrior in the village. Even his father, who once received the title of Elite Monster Hunter, can't compare to him. Even the Wolf King on the mountain had suffered a loss at his hands. " Kris's voice was very faint, but everyone could feel the nostalgia and sorrow in her voice.
Chu Rui was a little surprised. Weren't Kris and Ronnie lovers? Why did she have such an expression at the mention of Halief?
"The story starts from that day. An adventurer from afar came to our peaceful village. The village chief was the first to find the man covered in blood. He saved him, but the man was so badly injured that he died not long after. Before he died, he thanked the village chief for giving him his belongings. Although they didn't know who he was, they could tell from his belongings that he was a very powerful thief. Your Serene Blue Dagger is one of his belongings. "
Kris turned her head to Chu Rui and looked at the dagger in his hand that was emitting a faint blue light.
Serene Blue Dagger, Life-Risking Strike!
A Gold Equipment and a Gold Skill Book. To be able to have these two things, he was definitely a very powerful thief. He just didn't know if there were any more of his belongings. For example, those pieces of equipment. If there were, then he'd be rich. If he got them, then he wouldn't have to worry about equipment for a while.
"And this Angel's Heart is one of his belongings!" Kris didn't pay attention to Chu Rui's expression and continued, "This incomparably beautiful stone, no one knows what it is. From the energy it contains, it seems to be a very high level Light God's Stone. If you wear it, not only will it protect you from evil spirits, it will also prolong your life and make you immune to all diseases.
"Because of this stone, the village fell into a quarrel. At that time, we discovered the ore vein at the bottom of the mountain not long ago. My body was weak, so in order to make it easier for me to manage, the stone was given to me in the end. At that time, the only ones who had the qualifications to own this stone were me, Ronnie, and Halief. In the end, it fell into my hands because of their support. In order to thank them, for the feelings between the three of us, I asked my father to engrave our initials on the Angel's Heart.
"Time passed day by day. With the effects of the Angel's Heart, my body became better and better. The ore vein in the village also produced a lot of ore, causing the village to gradually become rich. However, good times didn't last. One day, Uncle Hall and my father announced my engagement to Ronnie in front of the entire village. I was stunned at that time. I was confused. I didn't know what kind of feelings I had towards Ronnie. Perhaps after being together for so long, even my feelings had become dull. I only knew that I didn't reject him. After hearing the news of the engagement, Ronnie was very happy, but Halief changed. The night before the wedding, he came to find me and wanted to take me with him, but I refused. "
"Halief left, just like that!" Crazy's eyes glistened with tears and her expression was both nostalgic and regretful. "From then on, the three letters on the Angel's Heart were forever missing an H! I was forever missing a companion, a family member who protected me like a brother. "
"Three years ago, Ronnie and I finally met Halief again!" Kris's expression became somewhat pained and gloomy. "It's in this mine, in that cave."
Chu Rui turned his head and looked in the direction Crazy was pointing. That was the depths of the Lost Mine. At this point, Chu Rui had already guessed the general situation. Presumably, the BOSS in the back was Halief. However, he was just an ordinary Hunter. He definitely didn't have the powerful abilities here. Strength was still fine, as there would be a difference. However, this demonic energy was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess. In other words, they would have to face at least two BOSSes. One was Halief, and the other was the monster behind the scenes.
"He changed. The forthright Halief who smiled warmly like a spring day was gone. What was left was a vengeful spirit full of resentment, malevolence, and viciousness. I called out to him, but he turned a deaf ear. Just like that, he raised his evil weapon and killed Ronnie and me, the good friends who grew up with him, as well as all the villagers in the village. " Crazy's eyes glistened with tears and her expression was very complicated. She was truly at a loss when it came to Halief. She didn't know whether to love or hate him.
"Cursed by him, the dead villagers all became evil creatures. Ronnie's resentment gathered, so he didn't enter the cycle of reincarnation. Instead, he turned into a special existence and stayed here. If he didn't kill Halief, his resentment wouldn't dissipate and Ronnie would never leave this place. As for me, because of the Angel's Heart, the creatures here can't hurt me. If I want to leave, the Angel's Heart can help me. However, Ronnie and Halief are a knot in my heart. If I don't untie it, I can't find peace. In order to resolve this sin, I stayed here in a special half-ghost, half-solid state. "
"I beg you, help me, help Ronnie, help Halief. Let us rest in peace!"
