Chapter 10: Hope
"Shall we say something? For example, if I want some money, can you give it to me? Ice Orange curled the corners of her lips, but she didn't smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The castle has towering stone towers, slightly decayed wooden floors, and quaint staircase handrails. Young people and young girls are close at hand, but they are far away.
Don't do that, it's dangerous to point a gun at me. I'm not afraid, because I already know that my life won't end here, but the gods are capricious and vicious creatures, and maybe she suddenly finds it amusing to die unexpectedly.
A wind poured into the space from the window, blowing the girl's long, curly hair, scratching on the milky white skin, dark eyes, and soft lips that did not cry or smile. She was as beautiful as a flower, but the steely youth was unmoved, and even if the wind blew the hem of her clothes, she could not shake the direction of her heart.
This world is cruelly beautiful, but this world is cruel and desperate. This beautiful world created by the gods, and the hands of the gods are devastated. It is fortunate not to know where God is, so that at least you will not despair, let alone know that your own life, your own existence, including all the lives in this world, are all props for God's pleasure.
And yet I still knew, that thing, revealed to us in order to add to the desperation of the game. It's like giving a pig that is about to be slaughtered with memories, IQ and emotions, telling it that he was a human in his last life, and he is still a handsome guy who can make girls upside down. But now you are going to die, you will be tied up and bloodied, pigskins will be stripped off to make shoes, lard will be made into grease for the maintenance of guns, and your former companions will eat your flesh, crack your bones and suck your marrow, and complain that they are not tasty. You are a human being, but no one in the world will know or heed your wailing.
How can this be? Now that we know the truth, do we still have to go on according to the bad fate woven by God? Even if there is no way at the moment, there is no power to resist, you can't despair, you can't despair, even if you burn your whole soul, you can't give up hope.
There will inevitably be a turnaround.
A gust of wind slammed the window shut, making a loud noise that woke people up from their intense emotions. Bing Qingcheng withdrew her hand, and she found that she had been holding Mingfu's hand, but she didn't feel anything, as if she was holding a ball of air with substance.
"You don't look at me like you look at an enemy, do you?" Mingfu spoke.
His voice was gorgeous, and he had a lonely feeling, as if he was looking down at Bing Qingcheng from the ice peak, asking such a sharp question. It seems that there is only himself in his world, and Bing Qingcheng can't answer whether it is or not.
"What do you think is the eye of an enemy?" Bing Qingcheng asked rhetorically, but it was the same unwavering tone, "Eyes like me, or eyes like you?" The eye is just an organ that can only be used to see things, but it is endowed with the ability to express feelings. I think hatred can only be characterized after the end of revenge. β
Bing Qingcheng took a breath and continued, "I heard Jiuye You say that you have a task that I need to complete, can you leave it to me now?" β
"You're scared." A handsome and gentle smile appeared on Ming Fu's handsome but cold face, but he tore through Bing Qingcheng's calm disguise with a sharp shot, "Your heart is trembling." β
"My heart must be beating." Ice Orange took a deep breath.
"People feel out of breath when you're nervous, and you're inhaling all the time." Apparently Minver continued to stay on the topic.
I can't understand it, if Mingfu is expressionless, Bing Qingcheng can think that he doesn't want to show his inner emotions. But when he smiled like a spring breeze, Bing Qingcheng felt creepy, and he didn't know what kind of feelings he wanted to show. So Bing Qingcheng feels ridiculous again, in fact, she has always been unable to understand people's emotions, such as crying is not always sad, and laughing does not mean that it must be a happy smile.
"Would you like to hear my story?" Bing Qingcheng suddenly said, "Since I can't understand the other party's emotions, I can only say my own content."
"I am the princess of the Ice Sea Kingdom, Sha Shuo Ichi Hai Lan Ice Sea, the first princess of the reigning king. These are all you already know. Bing Qingcheng paused, observing Mingfu's expression, Mingfu's resolute chin nodded slightly, and motioned Bingqingcheng to continue.
"Binghai is a poor country." Bing Qingcheng didn't notice it, her tone was very sad, "Surrounded by cold and barren waters on three sides, there are twelve months of the year, six months of which are thick ice, and the remaining six months, three months are used to melt several feet of ice, and the last three months, the ice finally melts." β
"But summer is the active season for the Arctic devil whales. Have you ever seen a gluttonous whale? This sea monster is larger than any other creature on land, with dorsal fins that float in the sea like hills on islands, and can use different kinds of ice and water magic. Bing Qingcheng gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but get angrier and angrier the more he spoke, "It's magic, this kind of thing actually uses the magic that humans have long broken off, and humans, even if we humans try hard, we can only crumple the optical drive into a ball!" β
"I've heard that gluttonous whales will freeze people on shore with long-range ice magic in the sea, and then sweep people into the sea with water magic." Minfer said that he had been listening, but would not pass up this opportunity to make Bing Qingcheng's mood fluctuate. "In summer, the land ten miles inland along the coast is empty, and the 100 acres of fertile land that has been harmed are uncultivated, even if the attack range of the gluttonous whales is only 500 meters."
Bing Qingcheng sighed and admitted, "It doesn't matter, there is very little land that can be cultivated in the Ice Sea Country. Offshore land has a hard particulate matter, which is mixed with sand and can only feed weeds. β
"In the year I was born, the previous king went on an absurd expedition to fight the devil of the sea, the Arctic gluttonous whale. His brother who remained in the royal city, the current Ice Sea King, staged a coup d'Γ©tat, causing the previous Ice Sea King to be frozen into ice by gluttonous whales, claiming that the king inherited everything from the eldest brother, including his wife, the queen of the previous Ice Sea King. β
"Born to your deceased queen, the first descendant of the current Ice Sea King upon his accession to the throne." Mingfu looked at Bing Qingcheng, who was trembling with sorrow and anger, and said his guess, and was very satisfied that Bing Qingcheng suddenly raised his head, the kind of trembling eyes, as if he was about to collapse and break.
"Who knows." Bing Qingcheng said softly, to Mingfu's surprise, her grief and anger came and went quickly, whistling like the autumn wind passing through the hall, and the windows kept opening and closing, making a loud noise.
"I'm going to close the window."
