The clouds in the sky were extremely low, and the medium-thick and jet-black seemed to be within reach.

The raindrops of beans kept falling from the sky, splashing on the ground and shattering.

It was as if the whole world was in sorrow, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were dark.

"Boom~!" After a thunderclap, a purple bolt of lightning slashed through the void like a sharp sword.

In a clearing not far from the tower, Karl was kneeling in front of a newly erected tombstone with a dull expression.

The brand-new tombstone was engraved with a somewhat crooked handwriting, and it seemed that the person who engraved the inscription was extremely excited at the time.

"Lillian's Tomb!"

His long hair, completely soaked by the rain, clung to Carl's forehead, and he trembled and stretched out his right hand to caress the name on the tombstone, and he choked silently.

Tears of remorse mixed with rain in the corners of his eyes kept rolling down his face.

There is no Lillian's body in the dirt bag behind the tombstone, what is buried is just a hairpin that Carl has always treasured on his body, which was originally intended as Lillian's birthday gift!

"The body is still there, but the heart is dead! The boy has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place! ”

Luo Lan stood quietly behind Carl, staring at his back without saying a word.

After a long time, the pouring rain gradually stopped, as if the tears had dried up, and Karl's body no longer trembled, but froze in place like a wax figure.

With a light sigh, Luo Lan shifted his steps and walked to Karl's side.

"Drink some, you'll feel better......"

Reaching out and taking out a jar of wine from the storage ring, he slowly placed it next to Carl, Luo Lan said softly.

Carl stiffly turned around and raised his head, and glanced at Luo Lan without focus in his eyes, that look was extremely familiar to Luo Lan, it was the eyes of the heart that was completely dead.

Glancing at the wine jar on the ground without saying a word, Karl then raised his hand to pat the mud seal at the mouth of the jar, picked up the jar with both hands, and poured it into his mouth.

The sparkling liquor trickled down the corners of his mouth, mixed with tears that had slid down again from the corners of Carl's eyes.

After almost drinking most of the jar in one gulp, Karl's eyes finally had a glimmer of focus.

"Bang!"

Placing the jar beside him, Carl staggered to his feet, then sat down on his back against the tombstone.

Looking up at Luo Lan with lifeless eyes, Carl said in an extremely hoarse voice:

"Would you like to hear me tell me about 'her'?"

Luo Lan didn't say a word, he sat down next to Carl, grabbed the wine jar, and poured a big sip into the sky.

The spicy wine stimulated his throat for a while, and Luo Lan's eyes stared at a certain place in the void from afar, and he was also a little confused, as if his eyes had traveled through space and time, and the poignant smile of 'her' in his arms appeared again in front of him at the last moment.

After raising his hand again and pouring a large sip of wine into the sky, Luo Lan slowly opened his mouth and said in an incomparably distant tone, as if he had crossed the endless river of time and space:

"Say it...... When I'm done, I'll tell you another story......" Luo Lan casually handed the wine jar in his hand to Carl.

Carl's expression moved, and he glanced sideways at Luo Lan beside him.

The man in front of him, who looked extremely young in appearance, exuded a dying-like dull twilight aura at this moment, as if in an instant, the man in front of him was countless times older.

nodded slowly, but the wine jar in Luo Lan's hand poured a sip of wine, Carl leaned weakly on the tombstone, and slowly opened his mouth and said:

"It was a midsummer night five years ago......"

Luo Lan listened quietly for a long time, and the encounter between Carl and Lillian was like the beginning of all the heroes and heroines in tragic stories.

Karl was originally the eldest son of a great nobleman of the French Kingdom, and he was supposed to inherit the family business, but he has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child. This was almost completely inconceivable among the local aristocracy, and he became an outlier in almost the entire French aristocracy!

Five years ago, after a big quarrel with his father, he was so angry that he directly abandoned his original name, directly joined the Church's overseas knights incognito, gave up the inheritance of the territory of the great nobles, and left the royal capital.

Carl, who came to Venice alone, met 'her' as if it was fate after a period of hard work!

"At that time, I had just become the head of the knight for meritorious service, and after leading the group to exterminate a group of pirates, I met 'her' who was only ten years old on the pirate ship!"

Karl turned his head and smiled bitterly at Luo Lan,

"You might think I'm mentally ill, but I'm sure of it! The first time I saw her bright milky eyes, I was captivated! Those eyes were so pure, they were like the most crystalline lake under the Alps......! ”

Karl's eyes were confused, and after taking a sip of wine again, he continued: "After that, I adopted her parents and relatives who were killed by pirates, and she has become an orphan!" ”

"Hehe~! You may not know that a guy like me, who has never even looked for a woman a few times in his life, wants to take care of a little girl, and there are even countless jokes in it......" Carl seemed to think of something, his eyes were full of tenderness, and a very warm smile appeared on his face.

"As a result, I gradually somehow did it, and it turned out to be her to take care of me......"

"As time went on, I became accustomed to being cared for by her...... A few years have passed, and the former little girl has become one of the most beautiful girls in the whole town, and countless young men have fallen in love with her......"

"But what makes me a little strange is that I never saw her have too much contact with those young people, but she ran to the headquarters of the Knights of the Church whenever she had time, and by chance, he was discovered to have an excellent talent, so naturally, she became a priest of the Church."

"Hehe~! I remember when I asked her why she chose to become a priest, she said that it was the closest to God, the closest to me!! ”

Speaking of this, Carl's emotions began to get excited, and the wine jar in his hand was pinched by him!

"Unconsciously, I don't know when I started, I couldn't see her, I would feel as if something was missing in my heart, and even gradually, I began to change, as long as I saw any knight boy walking closer to her, I would teach those guys a hard lesson."

"Whenever this happens, 'she' will look at me with a smile and call my name sweetly until ...... Until one day, after the celebration of the church, she got drunk, came home and put her arms around my waist, smiled silly, and whispered in my ear what she had been hiding for years."

At this, Carl suddenly choked up, "She thought...... Marry me...... She also said that whether I agree or not, she must marry me......"

Speaking of this, Carl couldn't cry anymore, Luo Lan glanced at Carl, who was crying like a child, patted him on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Do you want to hear another story......?" ”

After speaking, Luo Lan grabbed the wine jar directly from Carl's hand, and after pouring a big sip, regardless of whether he was listening or not, he slowly said in an extremely distant tone:

"It's a hellish world, scorched earth and war-torn world, a world where humans struggle to survive, fighting gods and demons......!"

Carl stopped sobbing, he was shocked by what Luo Lan said, and raised his head to look at Luo Lan in great surprise,

"There is such a man, no, it should be called a boy more appropriately......" Luo Lan smiled faintly, but there was only sadness and bitterness in that smile,

In such an apocalypse, the boy lives like a wild dog, and the only thing he can do every day is to do everything he can to survive! ……”

"One day, in the process of searching for food, the boy was besieged by a group of monsters, although it was difficult to kill those monsters, but he was also seriously injured, when he lay in the ruins of the once prosperous city of human beings and no one cared, the only thing he thought at that time was: this time I can finally ask for this kind of life that is worse than a dog......!"

"That's when 'she' appeared!" She' was the leader of a team of survivors, and the boy didn't know at the time how difficult it was for a girl under twenty years old to become the leader of a team! Luo Lan laughed self-deprecatingly, raised her head, poured half a jar of wine in one go, and then wiped her mouth and continued:

"She appeared like a savior, and her smile was as warm as the sunshine that had been lost for a long time, making the boy's heart, which was already stiff and cold and almost dead, 'live'!"

"The boy joined the girl's team, he began to learn how to fight under the girl's teaching, he quietly vowed to become a 'shadow' by her side, and in this way, years passed, and the survivor team grew stronger and stronger under the girl's management, and finally established a well-known base, and the boy became the second master in the team after the girl!"

"Hehe~! In fact, the boy's strength surpassed that of the girl very early, but every time she faced the girl, the girl only knew how to hold her head and be beaten, and never fought back, and the girl questioned the boy angrily every time! The boy just looked at her stupidly and smiled, and laughed all the time, and then the girl would laugh with him as well, and an inexplicable affection between the two of them arose at that time......"

"After a few more years, finally, the 'gods' have descended!" Luo Lan's eyes suddenly froze!

"Gods!? Is it a real deity? Carl exclaimed.

Luo Lan nodded slowly, the expression on his face gradually became hideous, even his body trembled slightly, and his breathing became a little short:

"The gods descended on one of the largest human cities near the gathering place where the girl had founded, and almost instantly, the city's defenses crumbled, and countless humans cried out to be brutally wiped out under the attack of the gods and his armies! Similarly, the gathering place of the girls, which was very close to the city, was also attacked by many of the gods' men! ”

"Bang!" With a bang, the wine jar in Luo Lan's hand was directly crushed by him, and the wine was spilled, but he didn't know it.

"In order to allow more people in the gathering place to move, the girl and the boy fought side by side until the end, the girl used all her magic power, and the boy, as the girl's shield, also received the injury in the eye!"

At this moment, a terrifying dragon rushed towards the two, and just as the boy gritted his teeth and prepared to die for the girl's generosity, the girl used her body to knock the boy away......

Although the dragon was eventually killed, the girl suffered severe injuries that were almost incurable...... Boy holding girl...... I can only hold her like this......" Luo Lan's voice became choked, and crystal hot tears slipped from the corners of her eyes at some point:

"At that time, the boy prayed countless times, the gods and demons of the heavens, swore that even if he became a demon king, he only begged that someone could save the girl in his arms, but! No! No one came! ”

"The boy still remembers that when the girl was dying, her mouth was full of blood, but she still smiled and said to the boy: 'You want to ...... Live well......'"

When he heard Luo Lan's hoarse voice almost roaring and saying this, Carl's body shook suddenly, his breathing suddenly became short, his body trembled slightly, his fists were clenched tightly, and he didn't even notice that his nails were pressed into his palms, and he instantly recalled that Lillian had said this sentence before she died: "Live well!" ”

"When the girl was dying, she touched the boy's face and said, 'You must live well!' for thou art to be my eyes, to see all the good things in the world for me; You will become my wings and fly all over the bright universe and galaxy on my behalf'! ”

Luo Lan turned his head to look at Carl, his eyes were like electricity!

"In the end, the boy vowed: I will live well, even for the sake of the girl!!"

After Luo Lan finished speaking, he exhaled deeply, patted Carl's shoulder, and slowly stood up from the ground.

He put his hands behind his back and stood quietly facing the east, Carl suddenly felt that Luo Lan in front of him suddenly burned with a sky-high aura that was almost visible to the naked eye!

Even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersed by the evil qi at this time, and a few rays of bright and dazzling sunlight shone directly on Luo Lan's body from the zenith, as if his whole person was exuding golden brilliance at this moment!

Luo Lan took a deep breath in the sun, slowly turned her head, and her eyes suddenly bloomed with a brilliance ten thousand times brighter than the cosmic galaxy, looking at Carl's eyes!

"The boy once swore that he would kill those ruthless gods and demons who treat humans as pigs and dogs, and the gods and demons of the heavens will never end, and they will never enter reincarnation!!"

Luo Lan's hot gaze looked at Carl fixedly, and slowly stretched out his right hand, and his voice was like a bell:

"I only ask you, punish the gods and destroy the demons, are you willing to come along!?"
