63: Starry sky as always
"Yu Jiu is no one else, what you said. Anyway, the Void Mirror is not the same for anyone. Ye Moli spread his hands and asked the empty mirror with a smile: "You better worry about yourself and your brother first!" Ha ha! ”
"You!" Ye Moli really poked the mirror's life, and she was speechless for a while.
In a fit of rage, the mirror had no choice but to return to the Void Mirror. Yu looked at his eccentric sister and could only smile helplessly, and returned to the Void Mirror together.
"Let's hurry up first. It's not time to relax, and there's a tough battle to fight tomorrow. Oliver reminded with a look like a fool.
With that, Oliver picked up Jiuqing and used light skills to cross the roofs of the palace and prepare to leave the palace.
Ye Moli and Yu Jiu were about to catch up and leave together when an unexpected and reasonable person stopped in front of them.
"Be careful!" Ye Moli and Oliver almost simultaneously protected Yu Jiu and Jiu Qing behind them.
Oliver stood at the front: "Kong Jinzhi, you have run out of gas, I advise you not to think about tampering with the destiny of heaven again!" ”
Kong Jinzhi looked at a few people and laughed, laughing so much that tears flowed out: "Oliver, I know that a few of you and the guards of the entire palace can't stop you, so I have never laid heavy troops in the palace, I know that everything should be over." ”
"But ......" Kong Jinzhi's lazy tone rose slightly as if he was muttering, "In the end, let's wrap it up." ”
After Kong Jinzhi said this, the flames in his hand spewed towards Oliver.
Oliver still maintained that sacrosanct appearance, he barely moved, and an ice shield automatically appeared in front of him to resist Kong Jinzhi's flames, but because of the influence of the flame's temperature, the ice shield quickly evaporated into mist and disappeared into the air.
Ye Moli watched the battle expressionlessly on the side, and from the conversation between the two, it was obvious that the two were already old acquaintances, and the relationship seemed to be a little delicate......
"Don't do futile things at the end. Have you never thought of escaping even at the last minute? Instead, choose to show up? Oliver asked with a frown, and an ice blade appeared in his hand, approaching Kong Jinzhi step by step.
A crimson knife also appeared in Kong Jinzhi's hand, and the two faced each other like this.
After a few rounds, the battle between Ice and Fire continued, but after a few rounds, Sora Jinzhi was obviously more and more defeated by Oliver, until finally there was a small mistake in his movements, and Oliver seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the acupuncture.
"It's obviously a battle that you must lose, why do you still have to come to die, although you will die tomorrow, but you just don't want to live a little longer?" Oliver lowered his body and looked at Ku Jinzhi who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, he had not understood Ku Jinzhi's thoughts until the moment before he died.
"I don't know. I just thought to myself; I think...... What if I win? Kong Jinzhi fell directly to the ground and laughed, he saw the night sky; How long had it been since he had seen a night sky like this?
"If you win, the result will be the same," Oliver stood up and looked around at the crowd behind him, "even if it weren't for me, you would still be killed." ”
Kong Jinzhi didn't speak, just just lying on the ground with his eyes open and looking at the night sky.
Blood was still gurgling from the wounds, and the smell of blood spread through the air. None of them stepped forward, perhaps hoping that Kong Jinzhi would be at peace in the last few minutes of his life.
He is not a Ming Jun, it is difficult to say that he is a generation of faint kings; After he came to power, not only did he not alleviate the oppression of the people of the Desert Empire, but intensified the pressure on the people of the Desert Empire.
If Kong Jinzhi doesn't plan to withdraw his troops in this war with the Wind Domain Empire, then maybe this matter will become a fuse.
At the end of his life, no one knew what he was thinking, and everyone only heard a chuckle, "In the end, I still haven't beaten you once, brother." ”
He had already anticipated today's outcome from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he knew what he had done, and he also knew that the Desert Empire would sooner or later fall at his hands; But he only revered his inner thoughts, and he was so weird, so weird that he didn't even understand what he was thinking.
It doesn't matter, I'm going to die anyway, it's all over.
After saying that, Kong Jinzhi closed his eyes forever. Just as he lived without compassion, after his death, no one cast a sympathetic eye on him.
However, the words that Kong Jinzhi said before he died are very interesting. Everyone turned their eyes to Oliver, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
Oliver was wiping the blood from his face at this time, obviously he had just killed someone, but he was still elegant and reserved in the moonlight, even if there was still blood on his body, he still looked like an untainted elf.
Even if this elf stabs you in the bucket without blinking an eye in the next second, you will still be fascinated by him.
"......" noticed the inquiring gaze of the crowd, and Oliver looked back, "He's really my brother by blood...... But I don't recognize him as a brother. ”
"Do you have any questions now?" Oliver asked, tilting his head.
"It's gone. But I have one more thing to confirm. ”
"After Jiuqing ascends to the throne, you will order the withdrawal of troops."
"Of course." Oliver looked at Ye Moli lightly, "The longer the war drags on, the faster it will aggravate the country's demise." ”
"Do you calculate, how long has the war lasted since you came to the Desert Empire until today? It's been almost a month. The Desert Empire can no longer withstand the toss. ”
"And you must have died a lot of soldiers over there. After all, there are heavy casualties on our side, and it is impossible for your side to be fine. Oliver seemed to be deliberately trying to say these words to Ye Moli, "I heard that there seems to be a very important commander on your side today." ”
“…… Since the war has begun, there will definitely be casualties. Ye Moli didn't seem to be affected by Oliver's words in the slightest, and walked briskly with a flat face, "Let's go back first, it's almost dawn." ”
I believe that Feng Jiechen will not die like this. Ye Moli said to himself in his heart.
****
Regarding the second half of that diary, Ye Moli read it the next day after returning to Jiuqing's home.
At this time, Jiu Qing and Oliver were not there because they were going to prepare for the upper position, and Aunt Jiu also stayed in her room because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, and Yu Jiu was the only one who stayed by Ye Moli's side, and she was not an outsider, so Ye Moli opened the diary without scruples and looked through it.
Pick up on the last page of the first half of the book: "A war changed everything. It was a war that began by the Nine Kingdoms for territory, and it was divided into one faction led by the Xinghao Empire and the other faction led by the Linxing Empire. In this war, most countries almost chose their own sides, only the Desert Empire did not choose, therefore, the Desert Empire was also greatly damaged in this war. ”
"Because the royal family's negative attitude towards the war caused dissatisfaction, they burned down the royal family's palace, and I, because I am the inconspicuous third prince, survived the catastrophe. But half of his face was burned, and he could only live with a mask from then on. The Void Mirror was also smashed in half by the burned pillar in that fire, and although I took it out, I couldn't use it again. Unless there is a way to restore it, it is obvious that there is no one in the world who can restore the Void Mirror, because the material of the Void Mirror is special, and ordinary technology alone cannot repair it. ”
"On that day, I went from the third prince of the royal family of the Great Desert Empire to a homeless man on the streets. But I don't seem to have anything bad about it. Aside from the look of a stranger look on the face when people see half of the mask on my face, there's nothing else that makes me unhappy. ”
"Because I received a good education since I was a child, I quickly succeeded in hiding my identity and became a teacher in the small city of the Desert Empire, Gna City. As the days passed, Sky Feather and I were still looking at the starry sky at night as we had done before, but I could clearly feel that his power was slowly weakening. ”
Until one day, he was completely blind! There were no eyeballs inside, leaving only a black hollow. I asked him if he could still see it? He said that the Void Mirror can only peek into people's hearts, and it doesn't matter if they have eyes or not, everything they see is the same. I asked him if he would think the burned half of my face was ugly, and he said that he couldn't see people's faces, he only saw that my mind was still the same bright and dazzling starry sky as always, and even a few more stars. I burst out laughing. I asked him how he could find even a few more stars. But he replied very seriously: 'Because I can see everything in your mind.' What can I see...... That's all there is to it. ’”
"Finally...... This story can be regarded as having a happy ending. In the last years of my life, I used all the money I earned as a teacher in the city of Gna to secretly build a tunnel under an ancient well. I know that when I die, the machine spirit will fall into a deep sleep again without a master with whom he has a heart. In order to prevent the Void Mirror from being picked up and used by people with bad intentions, I stored half of the Void Mirror and the diary in the tunnel of the ancient well; I gave the remaining half of the Void Mirror and the diary to my second brother, who had re-ascended the throne, he was my trusted person, and I asked him to hide them in the library cabinet, and he agreed. ”
"That's the end of the diary. I have a hunch that maybe I'm going to leave today, maybe it's the instinct of the twilight people. I am writing this journal in the hope that you will see him in the future and know the story of a machine spirit and his human friend. Also, remember that the future ruler must not listen to the opinions of the people, otherwise the fire that broke out in the royal family will be repeated again in the future. ”
