Volume 3 The Dragon and the Song of the Wind Chapter 128 An Ode to the Wind (1)
The summer wind blows through the grassland, passing through the garden of swaying lilies, bringing the fragrance of this lily to Mochizuki Castle. The floral fragrance is overflowing, rich in hope, and this hope brought by the wind from the south is also captured by Moon.
On the city wall, the white Mochizuki banner of the Fan family fluttered. Before dawn, Moon walked along the city walls with Lily's company. He had read the letter sent by the agent. He knew that everything in the Plains today would come to an end. He was full of melancholy and could not be sure of the outcome of this battle. But one thing is clear to him, and that is that he can spend some time with his daughter.
A black lily dress, which is one of Lily's favorite dresses. She didn't like being called Dark Lily, though, like a curse. At this point, those little things don't matter. She wanted to accompany her father on a trip around the city to see this weathered place.
Moon was dressed neatly, just like he had been during the battle at the Rock Hills that day. "The scent of these flowers always reminds me of your mother. He said with a smile.
"Father, Thorne will put me back in the dungeon in a moment. No one wants to go to that place, but don't worry, I'm not scared at all, there are a few rats in the company. Lily pulled back her cuffs and looked at the cursed text on her arm, raising her voice. The curse was from Thorne, and it was the same curse as the one on the harbor pole, but it was more powerful, and Moon couldn't do anything about it.
"Oh, good boy. Thorne wants to make the final bet on you. But when Evan comes back here, he'll have a way to get you out. Moon hugged Lily and said.
"My lord, the wind is very cold. But listen to the wind, and there is a long singing in the wind. Zachary wore a blue cloak and a famous sword around his waist.
"That's people's prayer. They are praying for peace. Hope they are all safe. Lily listened intently.
"What about the Dream Breaker?" asked Moon. He wondered what Derek was up to, and he hadn't seen Lynn since yesterday.
"Your Excellency, you're looking for me. I am always at your service in the dark. Derek's voice pierced through Moon's ears from the wind.
"Oh, my right-hand men, they're still there. It would be nice if you were there at this time, but now I can only take one step forward. Moon sighed. He was a little sad.
"My lord, Lynn, what are you going to do?" Zachary asked, crossing the line.
"Kill! because he was the real murderer of Amo. Moon gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Are you going to kill Uncle Lynn?" asked Lily, surprised. She had a sad look on her face.
"I won't let him live, even if he puts Evan in the position of city lord, he won't be able to assist him. Sooner or later, he will have to bring the Fan family to shame for his struggle for power! I must do something for my arrogant nephew before I am fully controlled by Thorne's curse. I've thought about it, but there is no one else who can deserve the position of city lord. At this point, Lynn was right. Moon tilted his head and took a breath of the flowers. Lily didn't know what to say, but she knew what was about the future of Plains.
"Your Excellency, don't worry. Thorne won't end well either. We're going to embarrass him!" Zachary reassured, clutching the hilt of his sword hard. Lord Moon was ready for a life-and-death battle, and he must have arranged everything, but what else could I do?
"Oh, that's it. There's nothing we can do about Thorne. Even if we take him to hell, we can't do that kind of thing. He has put a curse on all of us. We can no longer disobey him, or even end ourselves. Moon's vision was a little blurry, but it quickly brightened again. He thought of something.
"I'm going to do what needs to be done right now. My lord, I am leaving!" said Derek's voice again.
"Go ahead. Moon said sadly.
"I'm afraid that after dawn, no one will remember whom, and they will be controlled by the orderly. "Zachary was a little resentful.
"It's up to those who want to save the plains to do what they can do. We're so embarrassed. Moon looked at the rising sun in the sky. Thorne's men took Lily away again.
With his back to Lily, Moon looked out at the vast green plains outside the city, and the lilies he had planted for his beloved. He prayed silently, blessings for those who died in darkness, and forgiveness for those who had been killed by him, in a mass graveyard in the distance, either by the Order, or by conspiracy, or by showing their loyalty to the King of Order...... In the far corner is the burial of some of the people Moon killed who should not have been killed. Almost all of the dead, Moon had them prepared where they should go.
"Hmph, look at the wind. It was roaring, showing its blades, but it didn't know that there was also a Moon known as the Moon Demon!Thorne, you will pay!" Moon said coldly, defying the wind that blew by. His eyes were engulfed in red, and his skin turned dark red.
"My lord, the dragon god is with us!" Zachary slowly got up, he was changing like Moon - a true puppet of Thorne.
Follow the wind into the city. At Lynn's quarters, the wind swirled and burrowed into the slits between the houses.
"Oh, no one can escape this wave, it can be people's hope, or it can destroy people's lives. Lynn struggled to her feet from a pool of blood. He pulls out Derek's dagger and finds that the wounds are healing—the effect of Thorne's curse.
Derek, on the other hand, has not changed, the curse can only keep him from getting close to Thorne, but it cannot turn him into a puppet. He scratched the crack in his neck and tore the needle off.
"Lord Moon, this was a surprise. This curse is worse than I thought. In the next, I have tried my best. Let Lynn live and die, right? The curse would never make him remember the conspiracy again. After that, I will continue to dedicate my loyalty to your nephew Evan, who will be the light of Mochizuki Castle, and I will remain the darkness of Mochizuki Castle. Derek stood up, straightened his chest into the dark corner, and vanished.
The sudden burst of artillery fire made the city no longer quiet. The puppets, under Thorne's complete control, acted according to his consciousness. 360 Literature Network
"Are you coming?" Thorne appeared in a flash of black lightning. He stood on top of the tallest building in the Great Hall of Lords, looking out over the sea from the bell tower.
The fire of the hordes of magically powered warships was so powerful that in the blink of an eye, it destroyed the Coral Harbor fortifications built by Moon.
"Haha, this magic cannon is so powerful!Where's the wine?, where did you get my wine?" Gerard Bayer looked through a telescope as he stood on the wood carving of the sea beast on the bow of the main ship.
"Wine, come on!" shouted Squillal. He tossed a bag full of wine to Gerald.
"Beat me hard, remember, only the guards of the wall! The city must be kept for me! We are not executioners! We are all believers!haha!" Gerald shouted. He was barefoot, letting the waves crash against him.
"It's refreshing to look at him like that!" Leo said cheerfully. He didn't go with the Glories. He wants to guarantee the safety of the fleet. He expected that it would not be long before the ships of the Remnant Moon would come to Thorne's aid.
Look into the distance as Leo looks. The people of Glori have already appeared in a secret room in Mochizuki City.
"This portal Corriz really cost money. Although it can't compare to the power of our broken teleportation circle in Fengyan City, it is already a great thing that it can be built underground in Mochizuki City. Wei hadn't used a teleportation circle for a long time, and he was excited as he touched the stone pillars in the room that clinged to the wall.
"It's a nice place. But we'll have to get out of here and find the teleportation array that heads to Xavier's cell. Glori drew his sword and pushed open the door to the chamber.
It was a very inconspicuous wooden door, covered in rotting vines that had grown in the shadows, and had lost its original appearance. Rotten vines, as long as there is enough water and nutrients, it can survive. Over time, it will replace the role of the wooden door, so hidden that people cannot find it.
"And when are we going to get rid of Thorne?" asked Zoe as she clasped her hands impatiently. She wanted to send Thorne to the dragon god now to avenge her family.
"I'm afraid he'll find us on his own. Dylan explained.
Dylan was right. We need to hurry. Susan followed behind Glori, and she turned to say.
"Wait for me, this ancient vine is tangled in my hair. The pod said as she touched the vine. The moment the ancient vines were touched by the pod's hand, they moved themselves and let go of the pod's hair.
"That's because they like you. "Wei always says things like that to make girls happy. The court ladies were happy to listen to such jokes, let alone those of a king, but Wick did not indulge in them.
"Lynn?" Glori turned and went back inside the house as he walked out of the house.
"What's wrong?" asked Elris.
"It's Lynn, he's out on the street, covered in blood, and he looks like he's lost his soul. Wei explained, glancing out the window.
"Away from him, we walked along the path between the houses. Glori softly pushed the door open and quickly turned to the other side of the house.
"Wait, something doesn't look right here. Iris wondered. She couldn't figure out why all the people on the street were the same as Lynn.
"There's someone in that house! they're staring at us!" Dylan drew his flaming sword and rushed over. He saw a pair of sneaky eyes through the hidden window.
"Dylan!" Glori was stopped by a wandering Moon Knight. With a swing of his sword, he slashed the knight to the ground.
"These knights, their behavior looks like skeletons seen in an abandoned city. "Iris was scared. Moreover, there are prayer voices in the wind, which makes people even more uneasy at this time.
When Dylan burst into the house, he realized that they were residents. They were unarmed, confused and scared. Behind them is a portrait.
"Stop! Dylan, they're the same people we are!" Glori caught up with Dylan. He knew the cautious and fearful look.
Patrol knights roaming outside swarmed in, as frantic as the Glatney Orderly. The people closed the doors and windows tightly and shut them up.
"Bang", the portrait of the middle-aged man hiding behind him fell. Zoe picked up the portrait and was speechless.
Iris looked at Zoe in a daze. "What's wrong?" she asked.
“...... It is a portrait of the god of order. They were praying to the God of Order. That's who Moon wants to save. That's who you and I want to save!" Zoe said angrily.
