Chapter 37: I'm sorry
The Sith River is a canal that flows through Kenya, and every morning it is full of boats and people, but at this time the whole river is only the roaring sound of water, and a little pink mist is abnormally deposited in the air.
Quiet, with a dead silence.
A drop of morning dew drips from the withered branches, revealing a small patch of gray-green, which may be the last bit of life here. Patches of dark red floated across the river, gradually diluted by the flowing living water.
Alan walked to the deck blankly, his mind blank, but his eyes were still stuffing information from the outside world, and he had to accept his actions in a rough and straightforward way.
The more than fifty innocent people who were caught in the cargo hold, the ship's sailor, the first mate, the captain, and the unwitting passengers, all turned into charred and shriveled corpses, maintaining a painful posture.
He couldn't imagine what was happening, but the silence of the river, the yellowed plants on the banks, the unidentified organization floating on the river, and the rust-smelling mist were all pointing at him.
Why is there nothing wrong with him?
Don't fool yourself! You did it, didn't you? Alan, no one knows better, you know, you know!
Alan clung to the side of the boat to keep himself from slipping. His legs are shaking, his arms are weak, you are scared, you want to escape!
No! I do not know......
Why did it become like this, Alan grabbed his throat and let out a low roar, the swelling pain in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe, but the silence of the river made him look like a fool amusing himself.
The memory of last night is gradually waking back, and the wailing and crying are getting closer and closer, don't think about it! Alan tugged at his hair, but the pain made his memory clearer.
Don't struggle, you killed these people with your own hands, the boats that drifted quietly, the harmless creatures at the bottom of the river, the pedestrians passing by on the shore, all of them were killed by you.
The heaviness of life overwhelmed the last line of defense, and Eren was quiet instead.
Alan gradually straightened up, his eyes darkened, and he looked at the people who were gradually surrounding the shore without a trace of warmth.
"It's a water forbidden spell, and death is the same." An old man with gray hair looked hesitantly at the only survivor on the river, and his voice was tinged with anger, "Surround this place at a certain distance." ”
Then there was the clatter of dead branches, and the shooters were quickly distributed on both banks, with two medium-sized warships blocking the way upstream.
The dark blue eyes scanned around, and the gaze stopped on the old man in the magic robe, and after a moment of silence, Alan stepped out of the cabin, jumped on the dock, raised his hands, and walked over with a blank face.
"I'm guilty." Alan knelt down on one knee in front of the old man, his eyes leveling ahead without a hint of anger.
The mermaid in front of him had a depressing breath, his clothes were messy, and there were strangulation marks on his wrists. The old man closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Alan never thought that things would develop like this, when he was just starting his life journey with a little enthusiasm, fate played a heavy joke on him, there were more than 400 people in total, most of them were innocent people on the docks and riverside.
The same amount of death, it sounded like a science-like cold texture, and Alan knew its name, under the strict control of the rules of magic contracted by the elements, the creature and the environment in which he lived were divided in equal amounts, and the gray-pink mist that lingered in mid-air in the morning may have flowed in another form in the cyan veins last night, the sticky mass floating on the surface of the river, which was the biological tissue that had been stamped by the cold water. This qiē was all done by him, and this qiē was his sin.
Alan has never made excuses for himself, even if it may be able to relieve the pressure on his soul a little, but he has always been such a simple person, those more than four hundred fresh lives ended in his hands last night, it is so simple, the conspiracy of the city lord, the harm he has received, these possible excuses are insignificant in the face of more than four hundred lives, and there is no empty excuse for cowards in the heart occupied by guilt, remorse and self-blame.
Such a mutation was unacceptable to Allen at first, he originally thought that he would overcome this difficulty, solve the trouble, and then walk to the next city with Xia Zuo, meet more people, become friends with several people with different personalities but worthy of trusting their backs, and go all the way with enthusiasm and see the scenery. But now it's different, the lives of four hundred people are in front of him, he must stay here, and then Xia Zuo will continue to walk alone, all the way with blood.
It was only now that Alan realized what he was panicking at first, and at that moment he knew how selfish it was to think like this, so he let himself be filled with remorse despite a moment, but now he knew that the reaction to the mutation was the truest thought.
He was afraid that Xia Zuo would leave him behind, and he walked farther and farther alone.
He didn't want to admit this thought, but he had to admit that, yes, he was afraid, he wasn't strong at all, he wasn't tough at all, and the more he cared, the more scared he became.
Thoughts filled Eren's mind, and the confined dungeon gave him a sense of security. Stretching his limbs, Alan lay on the floor like this, and the entire cell was made of forbidden magic stones, which made Alan feel at ease, and he didn't want to use that kind of uncontrollable ability a second time.
I can't feel the passage of time, maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's been a while, Allen's brain is gradually emptying, he doesn't want to see it because of self-blame or fear and tears of excitement, this can't solve anything, what he can do now is to do the last thing he can do when he walks forward with their blood with them, he wants to see Xia Zuo, not only the idea itself, but also this mission, Alan feels that he needs to remind him, but now is not the time.
In the city lord's mansion, Victor was listening to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy face, and his intentions were likely to be exposed, originally thought that it was just to solve a powerless little mermaid, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation.
The horror of the Sith Canal has caused panic among many people, and the only way to resolve the anger is to publicly execute the merfolk.
With his index finger tapping on the table, Victor's face became more and more gloomy. Guarded by the Grand Magus, he has no ability to replace Allen at all, and the Magic Guild and the City Lord's Mansion have always been at odds, and there is no room for maneuver at all. He had to delay the execution and get the matter sorted out before the men found out.
It's been a day since Allen's disappearance and the tragic situation in the Sith River, and in the underground cell of the Magic Guild, Allen's love has been very calm, and in the morning the magician Adolf gave him two choices, one is to be publicly executed, and the other is to become the shadow of the Magic Guild.
Adolf is a hidden extremist, this is Allen's guess, and during the morning conversation, because Allen killed more than twenty submans among the four hundred people, Adolf also rewarded him for this, and his kind expression was disgusting.
Alan wouldn't be going to do this multiple-choice question, although he might be more inclined to the first choice, but at least until then he was going to go back again, death was terrible, but death in inexplicable shame was even more terrible.
"Let's chirp beast, locate the target of the raider."
The scene changed in an instant, and Alan suddenly threw himself into a warm embrace, the same dark environment made him see it clearly, the corners of Xia Zuo's eyes were a little red, and his eyes widened because of surprise looked a little frightened.
"Alan!" A low voice sounded in his ears, and his strong arms hugged the black fish, and for no reason, Alan, whose nerves were already a little numb, wanted to cry now.
"I'm back, but probably won't be gone long." Pushing Xia Zuo away, Alan directly explained, "I killed more than 400 people by the Sith River, and the city lord sent someone to execute me, but I accidentally launched the forbidden spell. ”
The atmosphere that had just warmed up because of Allen's return suddenly dropped to freezing, Xia Zuo's expression gradually turned cold, and he subconsciously pinched Allen's arm.
"It's okay, I'll take the consequences myself." Alan was calmer than he expected, "Now tell me about your situation, why are you staying here alone?" ”
The elf didn't answer, and his lowered head couldn't see clearly, "Heh, you bear the consequences?" Did you really decide to do it? Xia Zuo sneered all of a sudden, and a storm was brewing in his eyes, "What the hell are you going to die for the inexplicable more than four hundred people?" ”
Looking directly at Xia Zuo, Alan felt a little weak, but he still nodded expressionlessly, the air pressure around the elf was getting lower and lower, Alan wanted to say something but found that he couldn't say anything, but before he could lower his head, his jaw was punched all of a sudden, and the huge impact made him fall to the ground, and before he could get up, a familiar body pressed up and pressed his limbs.
In the dark, the predatory gaze like a wild wolf in the turquoise eyes made Alan forget about struggling all of a sudden, and the violent panting sound played ambiguous background music in the dark, and then his lips hurt, and a rusty smell spread to his mouth, completely like a beast-like bite, and the collision without skill made Allen's body stiffen all of a sudden, and the slightly cool tongue took the opportunity to invade, with the smell of grass and the smell of blood, it became the best aphrodisiac drug, and an indescribable electric current went straight from the mouth to the heart, Let the calm black fish panic all of a sudden.
Struggling to push away the beast on his body, Alan kicked it, quickly rolled to the side, and put on a defensive posture, Xia Zuo's behavior made his mind chaotic, and the small secret room was filled with the smell of elf invasion, and even the gasping was tingling. Alan had never found that the elves who had been with him for so long could be so dangerous, and his body was tense, and the blackfish did not dare to move.
However, the elf on the opposite side didn't make any moves, but laughed lowly, raised his head, and smiled as bad as before, but it inexplicably made people feel cold all over his body, and licked his red lips lightly, Xia Zuo looked at the figure opposite, "You are such a bastard." The low voice was filled with suppressed affection, and his eyes like a lone wolf slashed at Allen's heart.
Alan suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, indescribably sore, and depressed, but those dry and miserable corpses resurfaced in front of him, and he could not face or respond to these feelings, and soon he calmed down again.
"I'm sorry." Blackfish opened his mouth, but in the end he just said such incomprehensible but hurtful words.
