Chapter 152: The Homeland Left in the Heart
"Is it finally over?"
The wind and sand dispersed, the sand melted into the desert, the breath of destruction shattered along with the darkness and chaos, and the storm between heaven and earth finally subsided.
However, the deep shock from the soul still did not dissipate, especially after the real realization of victory, the blood became more and more popular.
It was the Eye of Annihilation, almost as close to the existence of the gods, that had been defeated at the hands of these mortals.
It's like a mirage on the scorching indifference, which makes everyone feel a little unreal.
However, it is only these so-called "mortals" who can prevent the Eye of Annihilation and the fate of destruction.
Slowly standing up, dusting off the sand and gravel on their bodies, the rising sun was reflected between the pupils of everyoneββββ and they fought with the Eye of Annihilation for a whole day and a night.
Naturally, there is a tired look on the face, but more than that, it is the light of victory after transcending the destruction.
Under the morning sun, the figure standing at the forefront, the shadow grew longer and longer with the rising sun, like a stretching Great Wall, Wei Ran stood on this endless desert.
The brilliance around Lu Yu was a little dazzling, making people feel that he had become one with the sun.
The scorching heat slightly distorted Lu Yu's back, and Mulan couldn't help but call out his name, and at the same time, her footsteps also walked towards the figure bathed in light.
"Lu Yu"
"Mulan."
did not disappoint Mulan, that warm smile came as promised, like the morning sun, which was as reassuring as the morning sun.
Turning around, Lu Yu stepped on the sunlight and walked towards Mulan.
"Hmph, I'll go first."
Between the blue pupils, a trace of loneliness flashed, and King Lanling snorted softly as if laughing at himself, wanting to leave first.
"Master, won't you stay and join us?"
However, the corner of King Lanling's clothes was pulled by Xuan Ce, so he had to stop.
"I don't need the same kind."
There was no expression on the face covered by the mask, and King Lanling just said coldly.
"But don't you have something important that you want to protect?"
Xuan Ce tightly grasped the corner of King Lanling's clothes, still unwilling to let go.
Although he was once an enemy, he had many sharp blades intersecting, but in fact, like the Great Wall guardsββββ he also had a hometown he wanted to protect.
That's why, he never wanted the former Drift City to fall into the hands of others, whether it was the army of the empire or the demon seed in the desert.
However, in this world, there is no more Drift City, and the only thing left is Gao Changgong.
Death wandering in the dark, he is lonely and pitiful.
"Important things good boy, now it's your turn as an apprentice to educate your master?"
Although he was a little dissatisfied, King Lanling just gently put down Xuan Ce's hand.
"There is no place in the world that can accommodate me, and I have long been accustomed to being alone."
As if he was a little helpless, and as if he understood something, King Lanling still chose to leave his back to the people of the Great Wall Guards.
"However, I envy you, you who call the Great Wall your home."
I remembered that in the past, King Lanling wanted to make the Great Wall guards fall into despair and give up resistance, but now it seems how ridiculous it is.
The Great Wall will never be breached, precisely because of those who regard the Great Wall as their home and hometown.
"Actually, you can also find your hometown, because it's always in your heart, isn't it?"
Lu Yu walked over and looked at the Grim Reaper, who had been hostile in the past, but his back was so lonely at this time, people couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Since you have chosen to take action to protect the capital and protect this desert, it means that you have always remembered your former homeland."
Lu Yu also knew that the former Drift City was crushed by the army of the Empire, and on top of the original ruins, the current Metropolitan Protectorate was established.
Everything King Lanling did before was to let the flame of revenge reappear the shadow of the past Drift City. But that's how he was created by hatred, but he didn't want to be ruined by someone else.
ββ
King Lanling couldn't refute it, because what Lu Yu said was indeed the truth.
In fact, Zhuliu City has always been there, that is, today's Metropolitan Protectorate, although its appearance has changed greatly, and the old people of the past no longer exist, but for the King of Lanling, it is still the homeland that remains in his heart.
This is also why the King of Lanling will always stand silently on the wind and sand of the desert on the night of the full moon, lonely and never leave, watching over the land that can awaken his memory.
"Don't think that if you say so much, we are not enemies."
It didn't seem that he wanted to listen to Lu Yutao, and King Lanling responded coldly, slapping away the hand he wanted to hook his shoulder and back mercilessly.
"Actually, it's not what you think."
Hua Mulan suddenly spoke, and King Lanling also turned around silently.
"The destruction of Drifting City is not actually the work of the empire itself, behind it, there is a mastermind behind the scenes."
Mulan said Mixin, it turned out that the iron horsemen of the empire came to the desert, in addition to regaining the lost territory occupied by the demon seeds and horse thieves, it was to bring new life to the desert of the barren ridge.
And the Drift City, and the mirage of the desert in the clouds, those cities with ancient histories, were attacked.
The enemy disguised himself as the army of the Empire, just to provoke a war between the desert and the Empire.
"The army of the Empire in disguise."
Thinking silently on the side, Mulan's words reminded Lu Yu of what Li Bai had told him that his hometown in the mirage was also destroyed by the imperial army.
Behind all this, is there really a mastermind behind the scenes?
Ming Shiyin, is it also you?
As long as there is any problem and conspiracy, Lu Yu can't help but think about Ming Shiyin, because so far, since he came to the King Continent, anything bad has something to do with Ming Shiyin.
"Hmph, if it's really a conspiracy, I'll naturally investigate it."
In fact, the King of Lanling has also investigated the conspiracy behind this, but it is difficult to have a clue, and there will always be that terrible nightmare constantly wandering in his mind.
"Still, whenever you want, you can do it whenever you want. Since they are people who have fought together, they are teammates. β
Su Lie, who had always been heavy and heavy, spoke, and he could see the confusion and loneliness in King Lanling's eyes, as well as the longing for his homeland.
He also hopes that King Lanling can join them to protect the Great Wall and the peace of the desert, so that the tragedy of the past will not happen again.
