Chapter 297: Maybe It's Just Being Late
In an instant, everything in Locke's eyes changed, and he was back in the tattered town square of Talon County in the real world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Locke looked down at himself, the Crusader officer's robes, the trial suit, and the Chromie bag by the well in front of him.
However, he immediately heard a different voice.
Locke turned his head to look to the side, and two ghosts appeared.
One of them was on his knees and weeping, and it was Joseph. There was also a ghost watching the scene with distraction.
Locke walked over to the ghost who was watching the surroundings and shouted softly. "Davey?"
"Yes, it's me." Davey turned his head to look at the ruins of Dalong County with some emotion, and then he saluted Locke and said solemnly, "Thank you, Paladin of the Later Jin." It seems that the banner of our Silver Hand has not fallen. Thank you for all you have done to the people of Talonshire, you are a hero to everyone in Talonshire! ”
Locke silently returned a military salute, and both of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, and they were a little speechless for a while, and only Joseph's ghost was left in the ruins, crying bitterly.
"I have to go, for the first time in a long time, I feel the call of the Light." Davey said apologetically, "I don't know what happened to the Silver Hand now, but I don't want the Silver Hand banner to fall. So, please. ”
Davey gave Locke a final salute, and his spirit slowly dissipated into a dot of light from his feet.
"Let's go! Predecessor! Locke saluted him solemnly until Davey's spirit dissipated completely.
Finally he set his sights on Joseph.
"Joseph, go back, your daughter Pamela has been waiting for you to come home." Locke walked up to Joseph, who was kneeling on the ground in agony, "The past is gone, and it's not what you wanted. ”
"My eyes were blinded by darkness, but you saved me from evil fantasies. You saved me! Joseph got up from the ground, wiped his tears and said repentantly, "Now, I beg you, forgive me." ”
"I don't think the townsfolk of Talon County ever blamed you, it's not your fault." Locke looked up at the brown sky and said, "Don't let Pamela wait, she's been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Yes! I'll go now! Joseph replied to Locke affirmatively, and then he said with some guilt, "Sir, could you please go to Pamela first?" I need to prepare. ”
Joseph pointed to his clothes, "I want to clean it up and make a good impression on her." ”
"Don't keep Pamela waiting!" Locke looked at Joseph and nodded pleadingly, and he turned and walked towards the room where Pamela was.
When Locke came to the outside of Pamela's room, Locke heard Pamela humming a song in the room.
"Pamela, your father is back. He told me to come back and let you know first. Locke walked inside the house and said to a happy Pamela.
"I know, the battle is over! I hear my dad talking to me! I'll just say my dad is the bravest warrior! Pamela grinned, "He alone scared away all the undead!" And he said he was on his way home, and I was so happy! ”
The little girl ran around the range excitedly, and when the excitement had passed, the little girl continued.
"Dad said, if you come to our house, let me welcome you well, so I made tea!" The little girl turned her hand and took out a transparent cup from the side, held it in both hands and handed it to Locke, "I hope you like to drink tea with a lot of sugar!" ”
Locke stretched out a trembling hand, and the little girl tried to put the transparent cup of tea in Locke's palm, but couldn't put it down.
"Pamela, your dad is coming back. Aren't you going to clean it up? ”
Seeing Pamela's puzzled look, Locke had to interrupt her, the little girl didn't know what had happened.
Sure enough, this completely diverted Pamela's attention, and she directly put the tea aside and began to mumble to Locke on the side.
"yes, do I need to change my clothes? For what? Yellow? Blue? Do you want to change the clothes that my dad bought for me at the hands of Tyr? ”
"I think in your father's heart, you are the most beautiful at all times." Locke looked at the excited little girl and smiled and comforted her.
"Alright then," the little girl drooped her head, and then she looked up at Locke suspiciously, "Brother, have you helped my father?" He asked me to thank you, oh, did you tell him that you helped me find the doll? ”
Locke smiled and didn't answer her.
The little girl grinned and slipped into Locke's arms, and she kissed him on the cheek against Locke's face, "Thank you, brother, you are a kind brother." ”
Locke gently hugged the cold spirit in his arms, he was happy for Pamela, the poor girl was finally free.
"Pamela! My dear? Are you there?! ”
Outside the house, Joseph's shouting could be heard.
"Daddy!!"
"Daddy!! It's back!! ”
Pamela, who was in Locke's arms, instantly got out, and she rushed out of the house shouting excitedly.
Locke strained his mouth and slowly stood up and came to the door of the house, looking at the ghosts of the father and daughter.
"Daddy! Father! You're back! Pamela hugged Joseph's thighs and jumped excitedly.
"Yes, Daddy is back!" At some point, Joseph's spiritual clothes changed into a gray breeches shirt, and he crouched down and hugged Pamela, tears constantly shining in his eyes.
"Dad, let's go play?! No, you tell me a story, Dad! No! Let's go pick the flowers! Then drink tea! I've found my doll, did I tell you? Pamela slipped into Joseph's arms and spoke incoherently.
Joseph was already in tears by this time.
After a long time, Pamela looked up, and she looked at her father pleadingly, "Daddy, you won't be walking this time for so long, will you?" ”
"Ha, no. Daddy will never leave you again! Joseph stroked Pamela's hair and nodded affirmatively.
"I miss you so much, Daddy." Pamela buried her head in her father's arms, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"I miss you too, dear. I'm finally home......"
Locke stood quietly at the door and looked at the father and daughter, and his heart, which should have been gratified, was infinitely sad.
When the father and daughter finally stabilized, Joseph took Pamela by the hand and said goodbye to Locke.
"Thank you." Joseph, the tall revenant, bowed to Locke again excitedly.
"Goodbye, brother. We're leaving. Pamela hugged the doll tightly in her arms and waved to Locke.
"Goodbye, have a nice trip!" Locke struggled to mobilize the muscles in his face, trying to make himself laugh a little more happily.
The two finally bowed to Locke, and Joseph took Pamela's hand and walked farther and farther away from Locke's line of sight, and the sound of staccato conversation reached Locke's ears.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"Let's go home."
"But isn't this our house?"
"No, our house is no longer here. Our home is full of golden sunlight and your mom is still there waiting for us. ”
"Mommy is waiting for us there? So what are we waiting for? ”
"Go home!"
Under the bloody sky, in the dark ruins, a tall man's ghost dragged the ghost of a little girl alongside.
Locke watched them steadfastly until they dissipated into heaven and earth.
He thought of a phrase that happiness would come back, and if they didn't arrive now, maybe they were just late.....
