Chapter 761: The Deceased
"Are you hiding your own fear?" Levi walked briskly, raised his iron sword and jerked it against Luga's chin.
The sharp tip of the sword was placed on Luga's throat, and Levi only had to push his arm forward slightly, and Luga would clutch his throat and watch his blood gush out.
"Heh, you don't have the courage to kill me." Luga sneered at this time when his life was hanging by a thread, and there was no fear in it.
Such a calm guy, as if he was looking at death as if he was at home, did not have the slightest fear in the face of the sharp blade against his throat, which made Levi a little puzzled, whether it was Luga who was pretending to be calm or was originally like death.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Levi gritted his teeth, the iron sword in his hand trembled, what kind of deep hatred made him so obsessed with killing the guy in front of him who was diametrically opposed to him. "He seems to have mustered up the courage to do it, but for some reason, he always can't do it, like an invisible force holding him back."
"You don't dare to kill me, it's not because of my Augustus status." Looking at Levi with an infinitely entangled face, Lu Jia sneered even more, reached out and pushed away the tip of the sword against his throat, and stretched out his hand to signal to the stone fence beside Levi, "Come here, I know what you want to know, this is also the purpose of my here." ”
Levi looked at Luga suspiciously, he didn't have any thoughts of running away, or even calling for help, he was so calm, as if a fatal killing had never happened in his eyes.
"You've changed a lot, beyond my imagination." Levi seemed to have made a concession, and he compromised.
"Bang dang!"
The iron sword came out of his hand and landed on the ground with a crisp sound, Levi realized that he could not kill Luga because he did not have the courage, he sighed lightly, slowly came to Luga's side, put his hands on the stone railing, and looked at the open-air venue not far ahead, where the nobles and men were dancing to the rhythm of the music, and the laughter was very lively.
"You're a persistent guy." Luga looked up at the sky, and this time he could finally confide in an old man, even if they had been so incompatible. "Or rather, you're stupid, willing to give up everything you have for a woman, you know, you have a very good future."
Levi didn't speak, he just looked at everything in front of him, he was so vibrant, and he had already left this high life for too long.
Luga turned his head and looked carefully at Levi beside him, he was so far away from himself, it was a world of difference.
Look at yourself, clean and neat cheeks, as well as clean and neat clothes, gorgeous decorations prove your absolute status in high society.
Look at Levi again, only a few years have passed, he has become like a homeless man living on the streets, without the identity of a nobleman, without fine clothes and food, without his retinue, when Luga is thriving, he has become more and more degenerate, and finally disappears from everyone.
Luga wanted to laugh at him, but looking at his unshaven face, he couldn't open his mouth.
"I love her as if I were fanatically in love with God, but God has not shown mercy to me, and has not paid attention to me for a moment." Levi said, pulling out a wooden cross from his clothes, it was just an ordinary cross, ordinary enough that a very ordinary citizen could easily get it.
But he held this very ordinary object tightly in the palm of his hand, as if he had found a treasure.
"She gave it to you?" Luga looked curiously at the cross in Levi's hand.
Levi didn't know what to say, he glanced back at Lugar, his eyes meaningful. He seemed to be wondering how to answer Luga's question, and he nodded hesitantly.
"It was given to me when she was in Ludinand." Levi looked at the cross in his hand and said thoughtfully to Luga: "She told me that I should believe in God and become a strong believer in him, and she told me to be kind, but I did not do it, and my love for her was so strong that I felt extremely happy to see her, even from afar." ”
This fool who is desperate for love, but Luga doesn't know whether to be sarcastic or praise him.
"She just wants you to put your heart and soul into God and forget about her." Luga asked tentatively, he even began to rejoice that he was still deeply loved, but somehow, Luga's nose was sore, and a tear couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, it didn't obey Augustus's instructions to flow down, so that Luga had to turn his face sideways and avoid the dark corner, and wipe away his tears with lightning speed, no, he couldn't let Levi see that he still had an amorous side.
It's like Augustus can't let his subordinates know what they like and dislike, it's like a weakness, a handle.
The king should be as majestic as a god in front of his subjects, the king is not equal to a mortal, so he cannot have the weakness that a mortal has, except for a limited life, the king is equivalent to restraint, restraining his own humanity, in exchange for supreme majesty.
It's cold in the heights.
Luga himself kept telling himself that it was like an ice cave in the far north, so cold that even the tears that flowed would freeze on his cheeks.
"Then I have a question." Levi clenched the cross in his hand tightly and looked at Luga, "This is the doubt I have been searching for many years, where is she and where did you hide her?" ”
Luga didn't say anything, and he didn't know how to say it.
Levi's words outlined the memories that he immediately tried to hide and had managed to obscure himself, and he tried to forget, but they rang out again.
"You'd better not know." Luga shuddered, and he tried to keep himself calm, but pessimism crept in. "Forget about her, it might have hurt a little at first."
"What?"
Levi's voice raised an octave, and he turned sharply and grabbed Luga by the collar and pressed him against the stone railing, but Luga did not resist at all, just quietly looked at Levi, silently bearing Levi's anger.
"Why are you so selfish?" Levi gritted his teeth and said to Luga, how much he hated, "What happened to her, is she alive and well?" What did you do with her? No, yes, yes, you are busy with the war, how can you take care of her, you don't love her at all, you don't love her at all! ”
"Enough!"
Levi's impulsiveness infuriates Luga, a malnourished tramp who is no match for Luga, especially when he is not looking.
Luga punched Levi in the face, reaching out and pushing him to the ground before he could react.
"Boom!"
Levi sat heavily on the floor, grinning in pain.
"Where is she? Where is she! Levi chased after him and picked up the iron sword he had dropped earlier.
At this moment, Levi only felt a chill in his neck, and when he turned around, he saw Andrew, who was holding a sword against Levi's neck.
"I said it a long time ago, I knew you would come." Lugar turned his back to him, and a voice came from him. "I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still wandering in the same place, what a pitiful."
Levi had failed, he knew he had failed, maybe he would regret it, if he had advanced with his sword at that time, maybe Luga would have become a corpse under his sword.
All he could do now was grit his teeth and make an unwilling expression and glared at Luga, perhaps to deceive himself and prove that he had tried.
"One of the valuable lessons I've learned over the years is that you have to keep a back hand in everything." Luga still had his back to him, and his words were full of pride, like a victor.
"As for you..."
As Luga said this, Andrew straightened his sword and used the blade to force Levi to raise his head, exposing his most fragile neck.
Andrew looked up at Luga, as if waiting for Luga's order to execute the troublesome assassin.
"You tried to assassinate Augustus, but you didn't succeed, but you deserve to die according to the crime." Luga said, sobbing violently, the voice like a snort, "But I am Augustus, and my command is the supreme law, and I have decided not to kill you, but to banish you." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll come back?" Levi was still stiff-mouthed.
"No, go there, and you won't come back." Luga said with a long sigh, "This is your dream, and your last faith, I will allow you to go to her, and give you the exact location, go to her, find her whom you love, and then accompany her, and don't let her feel lonely anymore." ”
Levi's eyes widened, his eyes were full of incredulity, even Andrew felt wrong, he looked up, "Caesar..."
"Let's do it!" Luga stretched out his hand and waved, gesturing to Andrew and the other guards.
Augustus's order is the supreme law, and Andrew nodded slightly, helping the flattered Levi to his feet.
"And." Luga added, "Tell him all the stories, after he gets there. Luga still didn't look back.
Until Andrew walked down with Levi, Levi was like a docile sheep, and even his steps became brisk and his expression was smiling.
Levi didn't notice that Luga turned around at this time and stole a glance at him, and Luga was already in tears.
