Chapter Eighty-Three: Unease
Aya was stained with tears and blood, and half of her swollen face showed a blank look.
In my memory, the young man who smiled and put flowers in his hair, and after a gentle farewell, the elegant back of turning away was frozen in the depths of his heart.
I have imagined seeing him again many times, and I have laughed at myself that my longing for him is just the delusion of adolescence, but I did not expect that I would suddenly see him again in such a gloomy and sad situation here and now.
Chongyang silently looked at the girl, since that cameo mercenary adventure. Two years, three years have passed, and the little girl who was like a bud at the beginning is now more mature and beautiful. It is time to fall in love with a good man, join hands, and even build a family. But the sudden war destroyed everything that should have been.
"I'm also surprised to see you" I'm sorry, but if I had shown up earlier, your father might not be here
Looking at Ai Xing, the leader of the mercenary team who led the dagger on the ground, Chongyang said softly.
This middle-aged man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life did not die in the dangerous wilderness, did not die from the betrayal of an unscrupulous employer, did not become a meal for fierce monsters, and did not even die in the war of alien invasion, but after all, he could not escape the murder of despicable villains.
Aya's dazed and sluggish expression gradually turned into deep entanglement and sadness, she didn't know why the gentle smiling black-haired and black-eyed young man in the past had turned his hair cold white and wore a mask to cover his face, but she recognized the original person from the gentle words of the other party as she remembered. ”
The girl threw herself into the arms of the white-haired young man, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his chest, and began to cry.
After the body of Ai Xing was cremated on the spot. The ashes were placed in a metal jar salvaged from the ruins and stored inside Aya's spatial ring.
The red-haired girl lost her only relative, and she was very confused about where she would go in the future, and Chongyang was not at ease to let her be a lonely girl drifting in this troubled world, so it was an inevitable choice to take her with her and stay with her.
"Chongyang Bright, I know, I've seen you in the Imperial Arena. At that time, I thought you were Lin Feng. ”
"Then the Three Kingdoms Conference, I didn't hear from you again, the magical fire mage, and then I heard that the conference was over, and you had another princess of the empire who returned victoriously, and"
"Just like Dad said, you're a big guy. For us ordinary people, it's a distant legend, and I didn't expect to see you again. ”
Aya, who was being carried on the way, murmured in the young man's arms, and grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and pulled it very tightly, as if if if he let go, the person in front of him would disappear like a dream.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Chongyang had already seen the Bright House, and his heart couldn't help but be turbulent, how was Luo Yang, what happened to the others? After just a few months of time that seemed to be a lifetime away, the excitement of finally returning home. It's no better than when I returned from the Triple Congress
The Lotta district, where the wealthy are concentrated, has clearly been looted to a greater extent than the civilian area. Orcs are not fools, and when they invade the human capital, they will naturally find the most worthwhile parts and loot them.
The most precious belongings of the family, most of the nobles are carried by their side with space rings. But there are so many nobles in the imperial capital, and not all of them are fortunate enough to be sheltered by the palace. Those who cannot take refuge and have no time to flee become victims of orc aggression;
There are also many corpses here, but most of them are dressed as servants, and there are relatively few nobles. Houses that were originally extravagant and gorgeous. Mansions, villas, and gardens" were all reduced to ruined ruins, some of which still burn today.
People are busy sorting and rebuilding in it, and there is more life here than the desolation of the civilian area.
Graceful tents or makeshift dwellings are neatly and orderly distributed on relatively empty areas such as park squares, where fat-headed, richly dressed men point fingers at the workers and magicians in charge of the reconstruction work, while noblewomen mostly surround the temporary dwellings, accepting the service of servants as before, drinking tea and chatting calmly, showing the graceful demeanor of not being surprised by disasters.
As for the children of the nobility, they even have the leisure to play war games against the orcs.
This scene contrasts sharply with the hopelessness and gloom of the plebeian quarters, which is certainly due to the greater strength of the nobility to resist risks, but the protection from the palace and the significant tilt of reconstruction resources are the fundamental reasons why these high-class people are able to survive the destruction of their homes.
While the ladies complained that the relief food allocated by the authorities was too unpalatable, tens of thousands of people in the civilian area, not too far away, were starving in the ruins in search of anything to feed their stomachs, and even to fight for a piece of moldy bread, which could lead to a bloodbath.
The words of the West German mentor echoed in Chongyang's ears, and although he was also an aristocrat, he couldn't help frowning in the face of this extremely unequal scene.
Bright's house is finally in sight, and the half-collapsed mansion is much deserted compared to the wealthy families who are building new houses more than rebuilding.
"Is anyone there?
Chongyang landed in front of the gate of the house and yelled loudly in the direction of the house.
No one heard back. He enabled the omnidirectional perspective of the mutated right eye. I didn't see half a figure.
Where have the people gone?
Chongyang was anxious in his heart, and suddenly thought of being thrown into the spatial turbulence. Among the rewards received from the palace was a new third-class mansion.
"Did it move there?"
Thinking of this, he hugged the sleeping Aiya and leaped to the new house where he had never been.
The new house is not far from the old one, and it didn't take a few minutes to arrive at the speed of Chongyang. I saw that the damage to the mansion in front of me was slightly less than that of the old mansion, although some of it collapsed and burned down, but it was obviously okay
One. The girl in a black and white maid costume was in front of the door, struggling to drag a bag of garbage out of the door, her watery eyes and sweet face were so tired that she was sweating.
"Winnie!"
Chongyang cried out happily and leapt in front of the girl from mid-air like a gust of wind.
The little maid was startled, and fell to the ground in shock by the white-haired masked man who appeared out of thin air, her face terrified.
"Who are you?" she asked, stammering.
"I am" Chongyang wanted to take off his mask, but his hand reached to his cheek and he couldn't help but stop.
If you rashly show your ugly face. It will definitely frighten this timid girl even more.
"Winnie, that was just now"
With a loud voice, a strong blond man in a brown cloth robe rushed out of the room, and was stunned when he saw the little maid who fell to the ground and the strange man who was holding a fainted girl.
"Gaia," Chongyang was also stunned, and then was pleasantly surprised to recognize this brother who had not seen each other for too long.
But before he could recognize him, Gaia, who was taller and stronger than two years ago, raised his eyebrows and looked angry.
"You bastard trafficker!"
As he spoke, he brushed the ground and drew the black broadsword from behind his back, bowed slightly and rushed like a leopard rushing towards its prey.
"Wait, I'm not Chongyang, the guy who realized this tendon is obviously misunderstood.
Wearing a mask, he held a miserable girl in his hand, and stood in front of the maid who fell to the ground, looking ill-intentioned, no wonder it would provoke Gaia's hostility.
The period of reconstruction after the war was also a period of chaos, as evidenced by Aya's case, so it cannot be said that Gaia overreacted. Seeing an unknown weirdo appear at the door of his house and threaten his family, it is natural to attack him.
The black broadsword slashed mercilessly towards Chongyang's neck, and Chongyang had to free up his right hand and condense the scorching blade to resist the knife.
Peng: "Splashes of fire!
The huge impact shook his fingers and made him take two steps back.
"Huh, that's strong!"
Gaia didn't expect that the other party could directly cast magic with his fingers to resist this knife, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became more serious.
"Winnie, go to the back." With his left hand, he grabbed the little maid by the collar, easily lifted it up like a kitten, and threw it more than ten meters behind him.
Hey, tap. Chongyang saw Winnie fall hard, and he felt sorry for her.
Gaia ignored the white-haired youth's words, and the whole person had entered a state of high combat, and with a loud shout, the pitch-black blade and a layer of solid turquoise brilliance were attached, and he slashed coldly towards the enemy again.
Suddenly, Chongyang retreated rapidly, throwing Aya to the side of the street lightly with one hand, and condensing a scorching sword blade more than a meter long with the other, colliding with Gaia's long knife head-on!
As if the sound of sawtooth cutting through hard rock sounded loudly, brown sparks and green wind blades instantly erupted, blooming with a martyrly light between the two blades.
"Okay!
Gaia missed. Followed by a continuous attack, the turquoise light instantly atomized and enveloped the entire blade, like a cloud of mist, and seemed to slash out very slowly and gently.
Chongyang's pupils suddenly contracted, and in his eyes, this slow and light three knives had a powerful power that distorted time and space, as if even the clouds in the sky could be torn apart, which was already comparable to mystery-level melee magic!
Not seen for two years. Did Gaiais become so strong?
Dangdangdang
After three consecutive sounds, the storm brought by the blade even swept the white-haired young man out entirely, rolling in mid-air and flying six or seven meters away.
However, Gaia was not happy, and none of the three swords that he was determined to win hit the opponent. The white-haired mystery man seemed to be in a hurry, but he was flawless, and still used his bare hands to resist all of his powerful moves.
"This should be a Holy Spirit level magician! I can't let him pull away and cast high-level magic, otherwise I may not be able to resist!"
He as an orc. The strongest and only advantage against human mages is melee attacks.
One move to preemptively, suppressing step by step, until this Holy Spirit Mage is entangled and grinding to death! It is a tactic that he can think of with a relatively low level, and if he is distanced by this senior mage, it will be his defeat.
"Wind Chasing Dragon Slash!"
Before the white-haired youth in mid-air could hit the ground, Gaia's long knife pointed at his feet and slammed the ground into the ground and charged up. The palm of the knife seemed to be grasping a monstrous flying dragon, and it struck the opponent with a roar that tore through the void.
"It's amazing, and you can make a succession of moves. ”
Chongyang sighed in his heart about Gaiasis's continuous combat effectiveness, but the current situation is not a joke, this orc brother really treats him as a great enemy, and he is ruthless one after another.
If he hadn't gone through swordsmanship cultivation in the Sword Death World, it was possible that this would have been planted.
Gaia, who was in full strength, had two golden-red sharp horns protruding from the hair on her head. This is an orc trait that has been deliberately hidden, and no matter how hard you try to control it, it will be revealed when you exert all your might.
Stab it with a knife!
The emerald green sword dragon roared wildly into the sky, fiercely piercing through the middle of the white-haired youth's chest,
Gaia's eyes widened, obviously hitting the other party, but not hitting the essence of the body. I didn't see blood splattered.
The sword passed away from the world, breaking the sky, and the mystery of the hidden "clone!"
Chongyang appeared under Gaia like a ghost, and the fist wrapped in flames hit the strong man's lower abdomen fiercely, then spun around and flew up, and then hit the chest with an elbow, and finally jumped up and spread out a big hand to blast the whole thing away!
Close-quarters with bare hands!"
Three consecutive blows, the blonde man flew upside down and rolled, and the white-haired young man's hands were in flames, freezing into a gorgeous and dazzling scene.
When Gaiasis smacked up and hit the ground, the earth trembled.
"Yes
The blond man cursed, trying to struggle to stand up, but his whole body was in hot pain. The clothes on his body were not burned, but the flame seemed to burn directly into the human body, violently shaking all the internal organs.
"Ghost Burning" is not an ordinary magic power, but a special magic power transformed by the "Fire Demon Heart Sutra", so it has unusual erosion attributes. Of course, Chongyang's men showed mercy, and if he exerted all his might, Gaiasis's whole person would be burned to ashes from the inside out.
"You bastard... brute
"Gaia, don't be so impulsive, it's me. ”
Chongyang walked up to the orc who came to the ground and said gently and helplessly.
"Who are you?"
Gaia finally reacted, looking at the mysterious masked man with a confused expression.
Chongyang squatted down and took off his mask in front of his orc brothers, who suddenly gasped, with surprise, joy, doubt, and excitement in his eyes."
"Big brother!!"
A call full of friendship resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Everyone in the house ran out, and Winnie's little maid threw herself into the arms of the white-haired young man crying. I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's really embarrassing that the dignified Viscount has become like this.
"Big brother, I didn't see you when you returned after the Three Kingdoms Conference, and then I went back to the house and heard about you" Alas, Brother Luo Yang is really worried about you to death, but we all believe that you will not die so easily, and you will definitely come back. ”
Gaiasis said with tears in his eyes.
Chongyang saw everyone in the house, and found that there were many fewer people, and his heart was a little heavy. And what disturbed him the most was that "
"Where is Luo Yang?"
The brother I want to see the most is not in the crowd.
Gaiasis's face was gloomy and his face was grim.
After retiring the servants, the two of them were talking alone in the living room of the mansion.
"I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, the orc empire..."
"It's none of your business, you are you, and the other orcs are other people. Chongyang interrupted the other party's words.
"No, I need to apologize, because I, I saw Gaiasis swallow his saliva, his big hands tangled and uneasy.
"I saw that among the orc leaders who led the orc invasion army was my brother"
There was silence.
Chongyang frowned, and an inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes.
How can you be sure that it's your brother? You know that you and that side have been separated for many years. ”
"Because he looks so much like me!" said Gaiasis, suddenly with some excitement, "we are like coming out of a mold, and I can feel him, and he seems to feel me, "This is not a brother, what else can it be?"
With the blonde orc's account, Chongyang gradually learned about the situation.
When the war broke out, he suddenly knew that his compatriots had unexpectedly appeared near the capital of the human empire, and Gaiais instinctively wanted to investigate. But due to the cruelty of the orc army's siege and plunder, he was unwilling to come forward directly to recognize him, so he just relied on his own strength to secretly spy on the side.
Then he saw that the family members who gave orders in the orc army formation looked exactly like himself.
To admit it or not to admit it? Gaiasis struggled for a long time, and finally because of an incident that happened, he made up his mind not to recognize him, and to stay here and wait for the return of the big human brother.
"Brother Luo Yang fell, and when he took refuge in the palace, he was worried about you and took care of his family business, and he collapsed under too much pressure. Seriously ill. ”
Chongyang is gone, the chief is down, and the six gods and masterless Winnie and other henchmen and servants, the only one who can still be counted on is him Gaiasis. So, he decided not to leave the Bright family.
"We tried our best to treat Brother Luo Yang, but his condition continued to deteriorate, and finally a therapist who was said to have been sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess came and took Brother Luo Yang away. ”
"After that, we didn't hear from Brother Luo Yang, although we asked again and again, but we either got the answer that he would come back naturally after being cured, or it was purely perfunctory. I wanted to see Brother Luoyang, but I was not allowed. ”
"Until the end of the war. Everyone is leaving the palace, but Brother Luo Yang still hasn't come back."
Chongyang listened quietly, leaned back on the leather chair a little weakly, and sighed.
Worrying things happened one after another, Luo Yang was definitely not taken away by the princess's people, and now in the end......
"And, big brother, when you were at the palace. It is not uncommon to hear of a man called "Savior." , in the fight against the orc army for the emperor ** made a lot of credit. ”
Gaiasis looked at Chongyang's face.
I haven't seen him, but people say it. He looks very similar to the magic fire method is the big brother you, but his surname is not Bright, so it feels a little strange.
Chongyang's eyebrows twitched, and Huo Ran straightened up. The gaze was cold.
Another person has been killed by his own hands, and it is impossible for a third person to appear, so that character will be "Could it be,
Tell me all the information about that person in detail, even if it's a rumor, don't miss a thing!"
His big hands clenched the armrests of the leather chair fiercely.
If it was really that person, if it was really the inheritor of the supreme existence's thoughts, then the imperial capital "No, the entire Wren Empire, and even the entire continent, may fall into hell in the near future!"
That man is not a demon king who wants to destroy the world. But he led two generations of all-out war, only for the ultimate demon path that he relentlessly pursued.
He is the father of the Human Emperor Yang Dao, and he was also the strongest god-level magician at the beginning, and the anomalous existence "God King" Satan who is closest to the great spirit in the world.
