Chapter 31: Rendezvous
As people celebrate the victory on the battlefields of Manhattan on the streets of London, the gloom that once hung over the city has been swept away, and now only the cheers of victory remain.
"Hail to the heroes!" "We have won! We humans have finally defeated those guys!" "Drink, friends, today is a victory for all of us!" ......
Glenn weaved through the crowd, smiling and nodding to everyone celebrating, but he didn't look ready to stop and celebrate, he was now preparing to meet the man.
By the River Thames, Renault sat quietly by the river, looking at the rushing river in front of him with a relieved expression on his face.
"Why don't you celebrate?" said Glenn as he walked up behind Renault.
"It's also a place to celebrate. Renaud patted the ground beside him, "Sit down, Glenn." ”
"You really don't like busy places. Glenn said as he sat down beside Renault.
The river was still the same as when he left that day, but it was by the river that Glenn rediscovered what he was supposed to fight for, and the girl's smile seemed to appear in front of him.
"Wasn't that what you used to be?" Renault smiled slightly, "I've been in the dark for too long, and sometimes I'm really unaccustomed to being around other people in this sunlight." ”
"But we've come out of that darkness. Glenn looked at the river in front of him and said, "Dwelling on the past is just torment, we should move forward to the future." ”
"That girl named Alina saved you. Renault looked into Glenn's eyes and said, "You used to fight with the idea of destroying yourself, but now you have finally found the goal to fight for." ”
"That's true, but the battle is far from over, and it's time to move there. ”
"Did you tell Ellilina?" asked Renault.
"Not yet. Glenn lowered his eyes slightly, "But I'll tell her when you give me action." ”
"The battle on Manhattan is over, and I don't know what they relied on to win, but there's no doubt that they've won that battle, and now it's hell to solve. ”
"Team X should have broken through the gates of Hell. "We should act now as well." ”
"It's time for us to act. Renault stood up, "But you have to have transportation to get there, and that's what we're going to think about right now." ”
"That's true. Glenn nodded and said, "But no matter what, we have to be fast, and time will never wait." ”
"Time really waits for no one. Suddenly a voice came from behind the two, "But some people have been hiding their identities in the passage of time. ”
"Who's that?" Glenn asked, turning warily, "and he doesn't look like a decent guy all the time eavesdropping behind his back, right?"
Standing behind them were two men in black top hats, and Renaud and Glenn were wary of both of them, after all, the sudden appearance of such two people in such a situation was too suspicious.
"I really wasn't a decent person before. The man who spoke at first took off his top hat, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Renault." ”
"It's you. Renault looked at the face under the top hat in surprise, "This is so strange, are you actually coming to me?"
"We were ordered to come. The other man also took off his top hat, "Mr. Renault, we need your help now." ”
"Are you here too?" Glenn said as he looked at the other man, "Ender, I didn't expect you to act with this man, what the hell is going on?"
"I didn't want to do that. Ander glanced at the man beside him, "But the commander-in-chief has given me, and I must comply with the order. ”
"There are two amazing big guys. Glenn said, "Ander Locks, the chief commander of the defense of the BPRD, and William Olom, one of the three kings. ”
"Your identity is not simple. William grinned at William, "As one of the last three giants of the wild hunt, Glenn Brown, I really didn't expect you to choose betrayal. ”
"Wild Hunt is not the same Wild Hunt anymore. "It deviated from the original purpose of its founding, betrayed the justice it stood for, and I just did what I was supposed to do." ”
"The two of you destroyed the entire Wild Hunt alone, and to be honest, I never thought this day would come. ”
"It's not just us. Glenn remembered the look on Jervais's face when he said goodbye to them, "It's not just the two of us. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ander asked, confused.
"I'll report on this in detail later. Renault replied, "But you're probably here for more than just asking about it." ”
"Yes, there are more important things to talk about. William said, "But we're not going to finish everything here, are we?"
"Come with us. Glenn waved at the two of them, "Let's talk to a safer place." ”
Ander and William readily agreed to Glenn's suggestion, and they followed Renault and Glenn, who knew how many street corners they had turned, before finally arriving at the place where they lived.
"Do you live here?" asked William, curiously, "this is the most remote and gloomy part of the city, and I didn't expect you to live here." ”
"This kind of thing doesn't matter at all. Ander said to William impatiently, "You're not here for a tourist, do you have to take care of where people live?"
"It's okay, it's a bit of a remote place, but it's a very safe place. Glenn turned his head and explained both.
Renault took out the key and opened the door, and the four of them entered the room, and then sat down in the small living room.
"It's a refuge, so to speak. Glenn introduced the two of them, "It's safe, let's talk about anything here." ”
"Then I'll just say it. Ander decided to get straight to the point, "Mr. Renault, since you've been alive, why don't you show up in front of us?"
"I have a last resort. Renaud sighed and said, "Actually, I have been living in this world as a different person, as the number one of the former triumvirate of the Wild Hunters, carrying out missions in the darkest place in the world. ”
"As a Wild Hunter?" Ander was stunned at the answer, "but why would someone like you?"
"I couldn't have imagined that this would be the case. William laughed, "Known as the Sword of Hope, Renault, you would actually choose to cooperate with Wild Hunt." ”
"Aren't you the same yourself?" Renault said as he looked at William, "as a king, you chose to join the BPRD, and I would never have believed this kind of thing if I had put it in the past." ”
"I have my own ideas. William crossed his legs and said, "But you must have your own purpose in joining the Wild Hunt, I shouldn't be wrong about that, right?"
"That's right, I have my own purpose. Renault said as he took out the "Divine Creation" in his breast pocket, "It is for this thing that I have to make even the most difficult choice." ”
"What is this?" Ander asked, staring at the object in Renault's hand.
In the time that followed, Renault's past about "Divine Creation" was fully revealed, and when Ander and William heard the story, they both remained silent.
"I didn't expect the former captain of Wild Hunt to be such a great man. After a long time, Ander finally spoke, "If everything is according to what you say, then you have been preparing for this war all along!"
"I'll never forget who I am, I'm Reynaud Ike of the BPRD, and I swore to fight for humanity, and I will always remember it, no matter how long it takes. ”
"Then you should be able to understand what I'm doing, Renault. William's eyes flashed with mixed feelings, "Understand why I made such a decision." ”
"Is it the same as me?" said Reynolds, "you should remember what I said when I met you, right?"
Ah, that's the passage, William remembered it at once, it was the evaluation that Renault gave him when he happened to meet Renault just after he received the title of king.
"You long to fight alongside us, I can tell from the look in your eyes. Renault said at the time, "I believe that one day you will understand what you really think in your heart, and at that time, maybe we will meet again." ”
"What you said at that time has come true. William smiled and said, "I didn't believe it at all, but I didn't expect it to come true in the end." ”
"I just said what I thought at the time, and there is still justice in your heart, so I believe that you will listen to your heart and fight with us. ”
"You've all heard about the situation at the headquarters by now. "We did win that battle, but the real battle wasn't over yet. ”
"We're ready to go to hell. Glenn replied, "We were still worrying about transportation just now, but it doesn't seem like much of a problem now." ”
"Leave it all to us. William stood up, "We're going to ask HQ for transportation, and we're going to be with you, I can't wait to meet the hellish guys for a while." ”
"So let's decide. Renaud also stood up from his seat, "The time has come, we have in our hands enough to reverse this war, everyone, we are going to hell!"
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, they all knew what was going on in each other's minds, and each was ready for the more dangerous battle they would face next.
