Chapter 841: Separated
After a little relief, Lin Ba's face was much better, but all this looked extremely heavy in Sedum's eyes, he had been on the battlefield for so many years, of course he would not think that Lin Ba was a sign of his injury getting better, and at this moment Lin Ba was already the end of the crossbow.
After stabilizing his mood, Lin Ba relaxed a lot, "Big brother, you also know that I don't have a woman in my life, let alone any children, but when you saw that back then, when you took Xiao Jingchen to do a talent test, do you know? At that time, I envied you to death." ”
Lin Ba breathed a sigh of relief again, and then said, "How I wish I could have a child too, and let me take him to the talent test, so I don't know if I should say it if I have a reluctant request." After a pause, Lin Ba continued as if he had mustered up courage, "Can you let Jingchen be my righteous son and call me Dad?"
Listening to Lin Ba's words, Sedum was slightly stunned, and then said, "What's wrong with this, you and my brother have been for so many years, Jingchen is my child, and of course it is also your child." Turning his head, he said to Jingchen Zhengse, "Kneel, this is your father-in-law, call father." Looking at Lin Ba in his father's arms, Jingchen emerged from the bold uncle who had been in his talent test back then, the uncle who had always made him feel very kind, but at this moment he had become like this.
His knees were weak, kneeling in front of Lin Ba, after "father" called his father, Jingchen was already lying on Lin Ba and crying.
Lin Ba raised his hand, touched Jingchen's head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his other hand touched it in his arms for a long time, took out a thing, and said to Jingchen, "Child, since you call me father, I have nothing to give you, this thing is my family heirloom, just treat it as a souvenir for you, don't shirk, I will die soon, this thing can't be taken away, and it is also my heart to keep it for you." Looking at what Lin Ba took out, Jingchen was about to refuse, but was stopped by Lin Ba.
It was a crystal that shone with a layer of fluorescence, this crystal seemed to be composed of countless heavy sections, faintly refracting various colors of light, and when Jingchen looked directly at this crystal, he could feel an unusually rich magical energy.
Lin Ba handed the crystal into Jingchen's hand, touched Jingchen's head again, and his hand slipped off the top of Jingchen's head as soon as he was stunned, and Lin Ba's body gradually became cold in Sedum's arms.
Jing Chen held the spar that still carried Lin Ba's body temperature, and bowed heavily to Lin Ba's body in Sedum's arms, but at this moment, Sedum was facing the sky on his back, and hot tears flowed down his face, the twenty-two brothers of the year, now he is the only one left, even if his heart is like iron stone, it will be melted at this moment.
When the family was immersed in this sad atmosphere, a cold aura appeared instantly, and Yuelu reacted the fastest, pulling Jingchen who was kneeling beside Lin Ba, only to see a sharp blade that seemed to not even reflect the sunlight flashed from where Jingchen's arm was just now.
Sedum is a warrior after all, although he is immersed in the grief of his brother's departure, his perception ability is still sharper than Yuelu, but he just held Lin Ba in his arms, so he didn't have time to stop it for a while
Putting down Lin Ba's corpse, his gaze swept coldly in the direction where the blade flashed.
In the place that was originally empty, at this moment there was a man in black who was shrouded in shadows, or more accurately, there was no trace of human breath there, if it wasn't for seeing it with his own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe that there was a "person" standing there.
"ShadowClan assassins?" Moondew said in surprise.
"You say he's a Shadow Clan assassin?Soul Eater Shadow?" Hearing Yuelu's words, Sedum also frowned slightly, and said the name of this organization that is known as the oldest and most secretive of the three major killer organizations in the mainland.
The assassin did not respond to Sedum and Moondew's questioning, and just floated there, as if he had no other intentions, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a short time, when a beast roar sounded.
"Beast Master?" Listening to the roar of the many demonic beasts, Sedum's face was a little ugly, and he suddenly thought that his brother's death might not be a natural disaster.
It's just that he really doesn't want to believe that someone would hire a beast controller, an extremely rare profession on the mainland, to deal with his brother, what is that person for?
"Hand over the hedron and spare your lives. A slightly hoarse voice said.
Sedum looked up and saw a somewhat rickety figure appear in the group of monsters, that figure seemed to be trampled by the monsters at any time, but all the monsters surrounded him, but they did not hurt him, and seeing the overwhelming group of monsters, Sedum frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency treats us like three-year-olds, and even if we give you the hedrons, I'm afraid you won't let us go, right? I've heard of the Soul Eater's methods. Sedum looked at the figure with disdain and sneered.
"Yes, you've also heard of the Soul Eater, yes, you can defeat the Earth Armor Piercing Dragon, you do have the qualifications to hear the Soul Eater Shadow, in that case, you all go to die!"
As if he hadn't checked, Sedum casually took out the huge blood-colored battle axe in the shape of his signature.
"Blood Axe Master?" the rickety old man suddenly exclaimed.
"That's right, but unfortunately there is no prize. At this moment, Sedum's face was full of smiles, but the smile was extremely hideous, the enemy who killed his brother was in front of him, how could he be calm in his heart.
I saw a red hurricane blowing, and the monsters were torn apart, and the originally standing shadow heard the old man shouting the title of Sedum, and instantly jumped backwards, but unfortunately he was still a step slow.
"Do you want to leave when you're here? A gray symbol flashed over the Assassin's head, and in an instant his speed was like a turtle's speed.
"Cursed sound?" At this moment, the rickety old man had given up his resistance, and if he could see his face, he would see a wry smile on his face.
For this famous division-level beginner skill, he is like thunder, not only him, even some people who have just entered the organization are extremely clear, this is simply their assassin's nemesis, the middle level is lower than the caster, and the speed is reduced by ninety percent in an instant, this speed is not only the attack speed and movement speed, I heard that even the speed of blood will be affected, just ask, who else can the assassin who has reduced the speed of ninety percent to assassinate.
After only two clear sounds, the rickety old man and the shadow-like assassin were already in different places, Sedum returned to Yuelu and Jingchen, picked up Lin Ba's corpse, and said with some doubts, "......What is the picture of this soulthirsty shadow?"
Yuelu pointed to the spar in Jingchen's hand and said, "I should be here for this." ”
Sedum took the spar in Jing Chen's hand, and looked at it for a long time, except for the light that could refract various colors and had rich magical energy, he didn't see any difference, "Is there anything different about this spar?"
"This is supposed to be a druid's Legacy Crystal, and the reason why you can feel the rich magical energy in it is because this Legacy Crystal is infused with powerful magical power. Yuelu frowned and said with some uncertainty.
"Actually, I'm not sure that this is the inheritance crystal, after all, this kind of thing is extremely rare even in the elf clan, and those who can make this kind of inheritance crystal must be a druid at the level of the ancient tree guardian or above, and the current druids of this level of the elf clan are all highly respected, and they all have family inheritance, so even if they have inheritance crystals, they will not pass them on to others, let alone foreign clans. Yuelu said slowly, she had seen the inheritance crystal when she was a child, after all, she had it in her family, but she didn't meet the conditions back then and couldn't use it, but she wouldn't tell Sedum about this.
"Grandmaster-level powerhouse?" Hearing Yuelu say that it would take an eighth-level powerhouse to make this crystal, Sedum couldn't help but take a closer look at the inheritance crystal in his hand.
Yuelu nodded and continued, "This should be a piece of inheritance crystal that has been left behind, although this inheritance crystal is precious, but not everyone can use it, each inheritance crystal will have its own requirements, this is the condition formulated by the strong man who created this inheritance crystal at the beginning, and only those who meet this condition can use it, if you can't meet the requirements of that strong man, even if you have this inheritance crystal, it is useless, maybe officially for this reason, Lin Ba's ancestors have not found its use." ”
After listening to Yuelu's explanation, Sedum also roughly understood what kind of existence the inheritance crystal was, and asked, "What can you get by using this crystal?"
"Basically, if a person can use this inheritance crystal, then he can not only have the lifelong inheritance of that strong man, but also feel the experience and perception of that strong man when he breaks through every time he faces a breakthrough. Yuelu said.
Sedum nodded, in this way, there is no doubt that there will be a lot of detours, and the perception of the breakthrough can only be understood and cannot be spoken, even the master and apprentice cannot explain, but with this inheritance crystal, the inheritor can more easily absorb the experience of the predecessors and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Then how can we be sure that this inheritance crystal is suitable for our son?" Sedum asked.
This is simple, you only need to take it on your body, and use your own magic power to warm it every day, if this inheritance crystal has a reaction within a year, it means that the inheritance is successful, otherwise the inheritance fails.
Sedum nodded and said to Jingchen, "Since this is given to you by your stepfather, you can take it, you also heard what your mother said just now, you must not disappoint your stepfather." Jingchen nodded and put away the inheritance crystal closely.
Yuelu was still holding Jingchen, and Sedum was holding the body of his brother Lin Ba, and the two flew to Wucheng one after the other, leaving only the screams of wild beasts and two corpses in different places in the wilderness.
After a long time, several black shadows appeared next to the two corpses, at this time the corpses had been put together, several black shadows stood around the corpses for a while, a purple light flashed, the two corpses turned into ashes, a cold and slightly old voice said, "The mission failed." A few shadows vanished in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
The sky was overcast, and small raindrops were ticking on the heavy armor of the soldiers, splashing a little water, and the soldiers still stood there as if they had not seen all this, like the most mighty statue, guarding the resting place of this hero, Vallinghill, which is the name of this place.
In the early morning, a team of mighty cavalry escorted a lot of red-eyed residents to this side, the cavalry tried to control the speed of their mounts, to prevent the mud from splashing on those pedestrians, many cavalry stared at their eyes, not letting their tears flow, looking at those pedestrians, they also thought of their families, on the battlefield, who knows if they can see the sun tomorrow.
This mountain is not high, a row of white granite stone steps go straight to the top of the mountain, look at it from afar, only to see that on the top of the mountain stands a huge white granite stele with a height of ten meters, even if it is far away, you can clearly see that the front of the stele is engraved with several bright red characters of "Yingling Mountain", the red is like blood, and a sense of tragedy comes to the face.
Every hero buried here will have their name engraved on the stone tablet, which has been a tradition on the mainland for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, whether it is the wreaking havoc of Warcraft or the endless war, countless people have been sleeping on the Yingling Mountain outside the main city, each Yingling Mountain is artificially piled up, one hundred and eighteen meters high, a total of two hundred and fifty granite stone steps, whether you are super strong, or ordinary people, you must climb the steps, flying is not allowed here.
The group gradually approached, and the Sedum family of three was also among them, and there was Lingge who was being supported by them.
On that evening three days ago, when Sedum and the others returned to Wucheng, the army in the city had been assembled and was ready to quickly reinforce a few people, and Ling Ge, who was already unconscious, was also standing at the front of the team, but he had to be supported by someone to stand firm.
Seeing Sedum and Yuelu falling from the sky, Ling Ge broke free of the support on both sides and ran towards Sedum, but unfortunately he fell down without taking two steps, but fortunately, Sedum was quick and helped him. "Brother Sedum, Brother Lin, he ......" Before he finished speaking, Ling Ge had already seen Lin Ba's corpse in Sedum's arms, and he cried and fainted directly on top of Lin Ba's corpse.
Someone stepped forward and helped Ling Ge down, and a middle-aged man wearing the city lord's official uniform walked over and saluted Sedum slightly, "Respected strong man, thank you for your selfless help and saving us brave warriors......" Sedum waved his hand and interrupted the city lord's words.
"I'm not as great as you say, and you don't have to exalt me so much, now, please find me a quiet place, so that I can spend time with my brother. ”
"We're here to help. This middle-aged man was not angry because Sedum interrupted his words, for a strong man of this level, he really had no reason to be angry as a city lord, even if the king of the Gama Kingdom was here, he would not dare to be rude to a strong man of this level.
It didn't take long for a special person to come over to lead the way for the Sedum family, the middle-aged city lord's work efficiency was still good, the Sedum family was taken to a very quiet house by someone to come, several houses in the house are scattered, obviously there are often people cleaning here, although there are no luxurious furnishings inside, but it is very tidy.
Sedum's family lived in this house, and for three days, Ling Ge, who had recovered from his injuries halfway, also came here with the support of others, and Sedum had been silently guarding Lin Ba's body.
There is a tradition in the Holy Spirit Empire that the dead should be buried on the third day, and it is believed that only in this way can the souls of the dead rest in peace.
The cavalry escorted the people down the hill, but did not follow, and the people marched to the top of the mountain, where a simple ceremony was held, where a priest of the Holy See read the inscriptions, after which the middle-aged lord read out every soldier who had died in this misfortune, and finally a full-time master stonemason engraved the names on the stele.
The next day, Crystal Station.
"Jingchen, Dad and Mom will send you here, your mother and I still have some things to do, we may not be able to see you for a while, you have to take good care of yourself, when you get to Yuelei City, you just need to go to the Great Elder." Sedum touched his son's head and said slowly, this is the first time his son has left his side, and it must be a lie to say that he is not worried.
"Then when will I see you again?" Jingchen asked.
"This is the communicator, maybe you can contact us through this when you think of us, as for when you will see you again......" Sedum put a light red communicator in Jingchen's hand, but did not continue, a trace of imperceptible helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Jingchen didn't notice the helplessness in his father's eyes, and put the communicator in the space ring, this space ring was given to him by Yuelu last night, although it is not a high-end product, but for Jingchen, the capacity of more than 20 cubic meters is enough.
"Son, no matter what time it is, Dad believes in you, you are the best!" Sedum patted Jingchen on the shoulder.
"Hmm!" Jingchen looked at Sedum, his eyes flashed with determination, and at this moment, father and son looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, the car is about to leave, and there are not many mothers, take care of yourself!" Yuelu hugged Jingchen into her arms, touched the head of her son who was lying in her arms at the moment, and said reluctantly.
Jingchen nodded, trying to control himself and not let the tears flow.
The crystal car slowly drove away from the station, Sedum and Yuelu stood there, until the crystal car with Jingchen drove out of sight, still reluctant to leave, and finally Sedum patted Yuelu's shoulder, "Let's go, we should also go and solve the next ......"
Jingchen has been sitting by the window, looking at his parents who are standing on the platform and waving to him, until he can no longer see it, he reluctantly turns his gaze, looking at the pale red communicator in his hand, suddenly, a letter slipped out of the gap in the communicator, Jingchen was stunned, and reached out to catch it.
On closer inspection, it is not so much a letter as a piece of paper, with the words written by his own father on the front and an unusually complex symbol on the back.
"Child, when you read these words, my mother and I have already embarked on another journey, in the future, I don't know if there will be a day when we will see each other again, but I believe that the day you reach the seventh level, you will understand everything. The text is over here, looking at this piece of paper, Jingchen doesn't know what he should do, whether to rush back and ask what is going on, or to rise to level seven with peace of mind and wait for everything to be revealed.
After a long time, Jingchen muttered, "I can't go back, my parents must not want me to be a drag when they do this, it must be! I want to become stronger, stronger!" Finally, Jingchen actually shouted, and for a while, everyone in the carriage looked at him.
"Hello, may I sit here?" Just as Jingchen was thinking a lot, a somewhat timid voice sounded.
Jingchen looked up and saw that it was a blue-eyed girl with purple hair, long hair hanging down to her waist, a pair of watery eyes, looking at Jingchen in a blink at the moment, and the slightly pointed ears between the long hair fluttering proved her elven bloodline.
"Absolutely. Jingchen put on a self-righteous smile.
"The rest of the seats are full, so ......," the girl continued, gesturing around as she spoke.
Jingchen smiled slightly, "Please sit down, Jingchen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Yue Yanran, I'm also very happy to know you. Saying that, Yue Yanran stretched out her right hand to Jingchen.
Jingchen also stretched out his right hand and shook it slightly, the girl's hand was very soft, soft like tender tofu, the five fingers were slender and white, as if carved from beautiful jade, held in the palm, and suddenly there was a sense of warmth, that kind of comfort was something Jingchen had never felt before.
Seeing Jingchen's slightly flushed face, the girl smiled, "Are you also going to Yuelei City?"
Jingchen nodded, "Yes, I'm going to take the entrance test of Zeus Academy in Yuelei City in half a month, what about you?"
"I'm going back to school to continue my studies, and I took the test this time last year, but it's your future senior sister. The girl smiled smugly.
The time of chatting with the girl always flies, and when the two people who are chatting happily continue to chat, the voice of the flight attendant sounded in the magic loudspeaker of the crystal car, "Hello passengers, the end of our trip, Yuelei City is about to arrive, please take your belongings and prepare to get off the car, thank you for your understanding and support along the way, here I only welcome you to take our crystal car again on behalf of all the crew, thank you." ”
Jingchen turned his head to look out the window, and saw that a huge city had appeared in his field of vision, and in his eyes was a sea of green, all kinds of vines and plants climbed on the city wall at least twenty meters high, and groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth on the city wall. Different from the bleak scene of Wucheng, there are many merchants coming in and out.
"Okay, we're about to get off the bus, I'm also very happy to be able to chat with you, if you are successfully admitted to Zeus Academy, remember to come to the magician major to find me, if you have any trouble, tell me, I'll cover you." Yue Yanran said while patting her chest.
"Yo, who should I be, isn't this our favorite little classmate who cries his nose the most? Why, which innocent little Zhengtai is lying here?" Just when Yue Yanran showed her eldest sister's demeanor like Jingchen, a discordant voice came from the side.
Yue Yanran turned her head and saw that the person who came was Nangong Chunxue, who joined the magician major in the same year as herself, when she came to Zeus Academy with Nangong Chunxue, she defeated Nangong Chunxue by a slight advantage in the freshman ranking battle, so she has always made this woman jealous, and a woman's jealousy is terrible, so Nangong Chunxue also went against Yue Yanran everywhere in the academy.
The Nangong family was originally one of the four major families of the Gama Kingdom, if it weren't for the fact that Lei City and Zeus Academy were considered to be the places where the elves had the main right to speak, then Nangong Chunxue would definitely be even more intensified.
While speaking, Nangong Chunxue walked to Yue Yanran's side, and saw Jingchen who was about to get up, "Very handsome little Zhengtai, Yue Yanran, you can also seduce this kind of little Zhengtai." Turning his head and smiling charmingly, "Come, tell my sister, what is your name, and my sister will cover you in the academy in the future." Nangong Chunxue swayed her slightly plump figure and came to Jingchen's seat.
Listening to Nangong Chunxue's words, Jingchen frowned slightly, and was very displeased with this kind of girl who scratched her head, so she said coldly, "I can take care of myself, Senior Sister Xie cares, and the kid can't afford it." As he spoke, he raised his elbow and pushed down the willow waist that Nangong Chunxue had already leaned on.
With this sudden top, Nangong Chunxue's body tilted to the other side, and the people who followed her didn't expect Jingchen to react like this, they were all stunned for a while, seeing Nangong Chunxue fall to the ground, so they hugged her and helped her up.
Jingchen didn't even look at it, took the small hand of Yue Yanran, who was also surprised, and walked towards the car door.
Seeing that kid pulling Yue Yanran away so swaggeringly, Nangong Chunxue's face turned red with anger, "Boy, you wait for me to see how I clean you up in the future." ”
"I'll wait!" Jingchen didn't even look back, and pulled Yue Yanran out of the crystal car.
