436 . Regain hope
In this regard, Meiya showed the courage and ruthlessness that women rarely had to quickly solve the remnants of the Delos Empire and appease the people, while Xiu Zhe, who was supposed to use his great powers to erase everyone's memories of the Delos Empire, has been unconscious.
Sodros handed over Xiuzhe to Sharpland when the army of the Dark Elf Kingdom stepped into Vetaron, and suggested that Sharplun personally protect Xiuzhe to guard against GSD.
After the Dark Elf Kingdom moved its capital to stabilize the situation, Meiya began to take the lead in singing the praises of Xiuzhe, and people gradually cultivated the cruel methods that Zhe had made, only remembering in their hearts that it was thanks to this young man with evil power but still a good heart that sacrificed himself in exchange for their lives.
Three years later, Xiu Zhe, who had been unconscious, finally opened his eyes, and this happy event was like a gust of wind blowing into Mei Ya's ears, and he immediately went to the dormitory where Xiu Zhe was.
Now Mei Ya is the most noble person in both the Arad Continent and the Heavenly Realm, and letting Mei Ya visit the injury in person is something that is unimaginable, but for Mei Ya, Xiu Zhe is worthy of letting her go.
Three years of not eating or drinking have made Xiu Zhe's cheeks sink slightly, but it does not affect the overall beauty of his handsome face.
After Mei Ya entered the dormitory, she ordered the maid to retreat, leaving only Mei Ya, Sharpen, and Xiu Zhe in the room.
After the maid closed the door, Sharplun casually cast a magic array to prevent his subordinates from eavesdropping, while Meiya coughed lightly and asked, "How does Elder Xiu feel?" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen's health is fine, I heard the Great Elder say that the minister's sleep has been three years, has there been any change in the kingdom and the outside world?"
"Everything is fine in the kingdom, although there are still some remnants who want to restore the Delos Empire, but it will not be a climate."
Mei Ya paused and continued with a smile: "As for the changes and visions in the outside world, since you have woken up, take your own time and look at it yourself." ”
Xiu Zhe bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister has two requests, I don't know..."
"Elder Xiu, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Elder is the lifesaver of me and all things in the world, and I will do my best to meet any request."
Seeing Mei Ya's solemn expression, Xiu Zhe said softly: "The minister hopes that Your Majesty will not cause any more wars, now the most powerful Void Ancestor of the Arad Continent has no ambition to dominate the continent, the people of the Principality of Belmar also advocate peace, and the Bantu people just want to be in a corner of peace, not to mention that the kingdom has not yet gained a firm foothold in the past three years." ”
Meiya nodded and responded: "I promise you, as long as other countries do not attack the current Dark Elf Kingdom, I will definitely not propose to start a war, and the system of the House of Elders is still there, and the rights of Elder Xiu and Elder Sharprun are still very strong enough to balance me or the next generation of Dark Elf Sovereigns, what about the second request?" ”
"I want to disappear and live a quiet life for a while, not asking about government politics and ignoring world affairs." Xiu Zhe said calmly, with a deep sadness in his eyes.
Everyone in the world knows Xiu Zhe's strength, and they also know that the people Xiu Zhe loves have left him, although Mei Ya can't say that she fully understands the pain in Xiu Zhe's heart, but she can also understand a little bit about it.
But in fact, only Xiu Zhe himself understands that he no longer has the strength to challenge the other apostles, and the future of wanting to embrace Yong Shili and Sha Lan with body temperature is extended indefinitely, which is the real reason for his pain.
Caroso's palm not only sealed the power of the ghost god and cut off his communication with the ghost god, but also sealed the power of Beyana Fighting God in his body, how long this seal will last is not clear, and he can't use the sword qi in his body to break the seal, now he is just a traditional swordsman who has achieved a little success in swordsmanship.
But fortunately, time does not pass in the body, which means that Xiu Zhe has time to wait, waiting for the day when the seal is exhausted.
"I can promise you, but Elder Xiu, we have to raise our heads and look forward." Mei Ya's hand rested on Xiu Zhe's ghost hand and said with concern.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiu Zhe bent down slightly respectfully, while Mei Ya stood up slightly sideways and let Xiu Zhe pass Xiu Zhe's etiquette and said, "Elder Xiu doesn't have to stick to these etiquettes when he sees me in the future, okay, Elder Sharplon, let's go." ”
With that, Meiya turned around and left the dormitory with Sharplun, who needed to be quiet or drunk to sort out his thoughts.
No one knew when Xiu Zhe left, and the next day, when the dark elf maid knocked on the door for a long time with a meal but did not get a response, pushed the door and entered, and hurriedly reported to Queen Meiya after finding that the dormitory was empty, they knew that Xiu Zhe might no longer be in the territory of the newly established dark elf kingdom.
Ten years later. Some of the drinkers in the tavern run by Sothia still tell some of the legends of Xiuzhe.
"I'll tell you, it is said that the four-foot ghost sword in the hand of His Excellency Xiu Zhe was just like that! Caroso, the creator god, was stopped from destroying Arad! ”
The big man, whose face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he had obviously drunk too much, waved his arm and told the story he had heard, and the aura was as if he and Xiu Zhe were standing side by side in front of Caroso back then.
"Pull it down! I heard that His Excellency Xiuzhe went through tens of thousands of moves with Caroso in one breath, and every time Caroso wanted to destroy the Arad continent, he was stopped by His Excellency Xiuzhe, and in the end, although His Excellency Xiuzhe was defeated, Carouso didn't get anything good. ”
"How did I hear that His Excellency Xiu Zhe exchanged injuries for injuries and forced Caroso to abandon his plan to destroy Arad?"
This is the case in taverns, where if one person opens a topic that interests people, the other tables will be joined by some of the big drinkers.
As these people told their hearsay stories, Xiu Zhe almost became a being who killed the gods.
Legends and stories are like this, after a person hears a story and remembers it in his heart, he will add some subjective conjectures to it and tell it to another person, so Xiu Zhe was simply exaggerated in these mouths back then.
"You say, what should be called a being who can kill the God of Creation? The old guys of the dark elves call His Excellency Xiu Zhe the Dark Monarch, which means the monarch who rules over all ghosts and controls the power of darkness, although I think this is also good, but it seems to be a little soft. ”
The big man who started the conversation first burped and pulled the topic above the title, asking about the drinkers around him.
Most of the people who drink here are boring people, and they naturally don't let go of talking about this topic.
But the nerves paralyzed by alcohol no longer have much ability to think, and the names spoken by these drinkers are more and more unpleasant.
"The Divine Gripper."
Just when everyone laughed and commented on who came up with the stupidest title, a male voice came out of the corner, causing everyone to laugh abruptly, and they all fell silent and thought about the meaning of this title.
"He who can judge the gods is the condemner of God, the one who holds on God. All right! Good title! ”
One of them chimed in, and the entire tavern nodded in agreement, saying that 'Divine Possessor' was indeed the best of all titles.
The man who came up with the title just smiled and continued to drink his wine, while the white-haired man on the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern shook his head, snuffed out the thin cigarette in his hand, and drank the red wine in front of him.
"Dark Lord?.. Divine Gripper? It's just a joke. The white-haired man smiled wryly and leaned back on the comfortable sofa, his eyes paralyzed by alcohol to the point of confusion, looking at the first-floor drinkers chatting hotly outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
No one knew what the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern was for, and even the old bartender who had worked in the tavern for decades was not qualified to enter the third floor after Sosiya hired workers to build it.
"It seems like a joke to you, but in the eyes of the world, you are the hero who saved the entire Arad continent, and you can fully bear the title of "It."
A pleasant female voice sounded with the faint sound of the door opening, and a woman in a red dress who outlined her slender figure to the fullest walked in, her long blonde hair was tied into a ball head by the hairpin, and her long ears proved her identity.
The proprietress of the Moonlight Tavern, the elf Sothia, is also the beauty that countless men dream of.
And the white-haired man reflected in her pair of narrow eyes is Xiu Zhe, who has disappeared for ten years.
"But the former hero, the omnipotent Devil May Cry, is now here to get drunk all day long.."
Despite saying this, Xiu Zhe still raised his ghost hand to pick up the red wine bottle on the table and poured some red wine into his goblet, and with the other hand, he skillfully took out a thin cigarette from the delicate cigarette case next to him and put it to his mouth.
Closing the door, Soxian Lian moved lightly to Xiu Zhe's side, sat down, took off the cigarette from his mouth, put it aside, and said, "Believe me, they won't want to see you like this. ”
Xiu Zhe turned his head and looked directly at Socia with some misty eyes, and had to admit that even though Xiu Zhe's eyes were a little intoxicated by alcohol, the charm in them was still as deep and intoxicating as the Xiu Zhe that Socia had known before, even if Sosia was a little older than Shalan, she couldn't resist Xiu Zhe's gaze.
"Is it because you love me that you can say from the perspective of Shalan and Yong Shili that they don't want to see this?"
Facing Xiu Zhe's question, Soxia shook her head lightly and stretched out her index finger to point at Xiu Zhe's heart and smiled: "We can only talk about love, not love, because your heart has been filled with them, no matter how long it has been, no one can squeeze into your heart." ”
"We can't even talk about love, without love, where does love come from?" Xiu Zhe calmly replied, picked up the cigarette that Sosia had put on the table, put it in his mouth and lit it, and looked away from Sosiya's seductive face to look out the window at the heavy snow.
The snow from thirteen years ago hasn't stopped yet, just as everything that happened that day hasn't ended.
Although Xiu Zhe saved the planet Arad from Caroso and protected the lives of most people, he could not prevent the various visions that occurred on the Arad continent, the most obvious of which was the never-ending snow.
The city in the sky is long gone, and the Gran Forest and Loland Forest have been revitalized, adding ores and monsters that have never been seen before.
Arad will not be less than one person and become unexciting, Xiu Zhe is gradually fading out of people's sight, and at the same time, the young people who are favored by the world are also shining, but everyone will compare Xiu Zhe's past with these so-called geniuses, and after the comparison, people will only shake their heads and think that none of these geniuses can catch up with Xiu Zhe.
But what the world doesn't know is that the genius in their hearts that no one can surpass is now lonely on the third floor of the Moonlight Tavern, drinking, smoking and watching the snow.
Wine was Shalan's favorite red wine during her lifetime, and it was worth a lot of money, but the Dark Elf Kingdom paid for him.
Cigarettes were the only type of cigarette that Sharan smoked during her lifetime, and it was supplied weekly by Roger's Fook, a wealthy merchant who worked for Skady in secret.
Jing is Yong Shili's favorite snow during her lifetime, and this is also thanks to Carosso, if it weren't for the creation god, how could he enjoy this scenery all the time every day?
"It's been thirteen years, and the sword qi and time can't wear down the seal at all, I think this is the karma that Alice once told me, right?" Xiu Zhe slowly spuffed out a puff of cigarette and muttered to himself.
Sosya, who has been by Xiuzhe's side for so many years, knows most of what Xiuzhe has experienced, and immediately spoke: "Celia predicted yesterday that the seal in your body will not last long, be patient and wait." It's just that.. Can your current body still control the power of ghosts and gods and Beyana's fighting gods? ”
Xiu Zhe was stunned and looked at his ghost hand, he had not touched a weapon in five years and no longer exercised, he was only immersed in the paralysis of alcohol, and now even Xiu Zhe himself didn't know if he still had the qualifications to hold the ghost sword that ruled over all ghosts.
Kazan had told himself many times not to stop, no matter what the situation, but he had been so shocked by grief and loneliness that he had forgotten this admonition and chose to fall, and he had stopped for five years...
"Has she become one of my favorite hymns, to sing the praises of people's fate?" Xiu Zhe retracted his thoughts and smiled and didn't take Celia's words to heart, but he really shouldn't be so drunk anymore, as Sosiya said, this is something that Shalan and Yong Shili don't want to see.
Sosia knew the feud between Xiu Zhe and Alice, and she didn't say anything on the subject, she took out a small box from the storage bag and put it on the table, saying, "This is what Celia gave you, and she said that if you can defeat Karn, you will wear the ring in the box on your hand at that time." ”
Seeing Xiu Zhe unconcernedly picking up the box and opening it to look at the ring, Sosiya said solemnly: "Selia looked very solemn when she handed me this thing, and said several times that you should remember not to put it on too early. ”
"Got it." Xiu Zhe lightly responded and put the box into the storage bag, and Sosia, who had finished explaining Celia's instructions, did not stay for long, and turned around and left after taking out a hundred bottles of red wine that Xiu Zhe often drank from the storage bag and placing them on the wine cabinet.
Whether Celia is the true singer of fate or the mastermind of another conspiracy Xiu Zhe doesn't know, but no matter what, he decides not to stop there.
Even if the power of the ghost god in his body and the power of Beyana's fighting god could not break through Caroso's seal, he had to pick up his sword again and stand in front of the pretentious creation god, and truly be a god.
The next day, Xiu Zhe began to live a regular life, although he would still smoke at night, drink some red wine, and watch the snow alone, but the exercise during the day did not fall at all, and every day was completed according to the plan.
In this way, another five years have passed, and the 'soon' that Celia had said was as if she was in a place like the Tower of Despair where time had been warped predicted, but Xiu Zhe was not arrogant or impatient, and he trained all the muscles he had lost step by step.
Early in the morning, Xiu Zhe had just finished a set of push-ups that he had set for himself, when there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
"Come in." Xiu Zhe got up and picked up the towel next to him to wipe the sweat hanging on his sturdy upper body, but Sosia's voice sounded outside the door: "There are guests, you should get dressed first." ”
"We'll have to wait." Xiu Zhe smiled, opened the window, opened the air in the room, let the smell of sweat dissipate, and simply took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
After finishing the appearance, Xiu Zhe opened the door, and Suo Xiya's beautiful face was reflected in Xiu Zhe's eyes, and next to Suo Xiya, a slim pink-haired girl nodded to Xiu Zhe a little shyly.
