Chapter 23: Suicide
Nick felt as if he had arrived in another world, where there was nothingness, and the sky and his feet were endlessly cloudy white.
"Am I dead?" muttered Nick.
Where is this, Nick opened his eyes but felt a tingling, the white light was like a mirror world, and countless suns shone on his eyes.
"Where the hell is this?" shouted as he pondered, "Is there anyone?"
But it was still that nothingness that responded to him.
"Anyone?" Nick shouted even louder.
It seemed that a person came from not far away, the man was wearing a glass knight's armor, and he was also holding a pitch-black heavy sword in his hand, the only strange thing was that his face was blurred, as if it had been deliberately erased.
The man walked over, panting, and his tone was marked by a clear hatred of iron: "You...... You've really disgraced the face of the carver!"
The sound exploded in the nick's ear like rolling thunder.
"I ......" nick stumbled.
"You will still fail the ninth assessment, is there anyone more ridiculous than you in this world?" the voice echoed in his ears again.
"Father......" Nick suddenly thought of who that voice was, wasn't that voice his own voice, but a little less immature than his current self.
"Don't call me father, I don't have your son!" the figure flickered and disappeared in front of the nick.
"No!" Nick cried out heartbreakingly, but when he reached out, he only scratched a piece of nothingness.
Not far from the "Nick ......", another voice came.
This time, people could see his face clearly, only to see that he was dressed in emerald armor, the sword in his hand flashed with golden light, his hair was messily draped behind him, his whole body was covered with sword wounds, and his handsome face was also full of tiredness and a trace of despair.
"City Lord......" Nick shouted.
The appearance of the city lord can be seen everywhere in the Flower Realm City, and countless painters have pasted their portraits all over the streets in order to commemorate the white slaughter who did not return from the battle, in order to express their anticipation of triumph.
"Nicking...... I really didn't think of it...... You're ...... Alas. With a heavy sigh, the phantom of the city lord Bai Lu fell to the ground with a bang.
"City Lord, I'll ......" The nick was not finished.
The shadow of Bai Lu spoke again: "That's it, that's it, it's me who saw the wrong person, you can go...... The farther you go, the better. ”
At this time, he seemed to be angry and would fall at any time.
Nick wanted to go up to help, but he didn't know where the shadow came from, and shouted: "You go! My city lord's mansion doesn't want to see you forever!"
After speaking, like the first phantom, he disappeared silently.
At this moment, the chaos around him changed, and another region suddenly appeared.
The two armies were fighting, the flames of war, the smoke of gunpowder, the swords, the blood, one after another the knights wearing the armor of the Flower Realm City fell, the war horses under the seat also galloped away, and the knights of the offshore city were like bloodthirsty devils, constantly slaughtering the knights of the Flower Realm City.
Hearing only the sound of "boom", the big flag of Flower Realm City broke off at the waist, drew a big arc in the air, and fell to the ground.
The knights of the offshore city stepped over from above, and in a matter of seconds, blood, dirt, and filth covered the entire banner.
The nick ran in vain, only to find that everything was illusory, and here he could not touch anything.
Suddenly, he felt a tingling pain all over his body, as if countless needles had been inserted into his body, and the pain was thousands of times more painful than Bai Shuangying's arrow piercing his shoulder blades.
"Ahh
With a scream, the battlefield in front of the nick disappeared, replaced by the dim oil lamp in the city lord's own room.
Surrounded by the best Lang Zhong in the city, surrounded by the people he knew best.
Mrs. Bai, Bai Yin, Mei Niang, Bai Ze, Qiu Shui, Xiao Gongzi, Niu Zhan......
These people just looked at the nick blankly, and when they saw that the mark woke up, they finally faded from the sadness on their faces.
The nick wanted to get up, but as soon as he moved, he was in great pain, and when he looked down, he saw that his body was already densely filled with silver needles on all the acupuncture points.
"Madam Bai, the Nicked Son is fine, but now that he is weak, it is better to let him recuperate. ”
After Na Langzhong finished speaking, he pulled out the needles on the notch's body one by one, and the notch felt that he had never felt more relaxed than ever.
"Thank you, Doctor Huang......" Madame Bai said, and Lang Zhong, surnamed Huang, said a few polite words and left.
"Nicks, how do you feel?" was the first to rush up to Bai Yin.
Nick shook his head, his mouth full of indescribable sourness.
The little boy said on the side: "The nick has just woken up, and he can't rest for so many of us, now I know that he is okay, so I can rest assured, we will disperse first, and it will not be too late to visit again when the nick recovers." ”
Madame Bai stepped forward to take a look, confirmed that there was no major problem with the nick, and the penetrating wound on the shoulder blade was also tightly bandaged, and she also left.
"Nick Child, call me when you're better, and I'll come to see you then!" Niu Zhan said as he left.
In order to let the nick recuperate quietly, Mei Niang and Bai Yin decided to leave one person behind, but Bai Yin insisted on being here, and she didn't hide it in front of the nick, so Mei Niang had to leave first.
Looking at Mei Niang's back, the nick gently closed her eyes.
"Nick, are you really okay......" Bai Yin asked after everyone left.
The nick shook his head and didn't speak.
After all, Bai Yin grew up with his childhood sweetheart, and at this time, he also knew that he was sad that he didn't pass the assessment, so he didn't talk much, and sat quietly on the side.
The 9th Assessment...... Nick thought.
I promised Mrs. Bai that she would pass this assessment...... also agreed to marry Mei Niang after passing...... There is also a white sound......
Nick felt like his head was blank, but it was a mess, like a headless thread that kept knotting in it.
I shook my body slightly, and although I was weak, I could still feel the presence of my limbs.
"Baiyin ......," Nick said.
"Huh?" Bai Yin's eyes widened: "You finally know not to call me princess!"
"I ......" Nick paused: "I have a pair of medicine for external injuries, I put it in Mei Niang's room, can you help me get it?"
"Okay!" Bai Yin readily agreed: "Then you wait for me here, and I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, Bai Yin hurriedly ran out.
Looking at the empty room, with countless sad colors on his face, he lifted his quilt, got out of bed and went to the ground, and walked out step by step.
Bai Yin had just arrived in Mei Niang's room and slammed the door hard.
"Who?" Everyone hasn't rested for a long time, and has been taking care of the nicks, but now that he's fine, everyone's tiredness has also come up, and Mei Niang has to prepare to rest when she returns to the room.
"I! Bai Yin!" Bai Yin shouted.
I only heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the room, and then the door opened, Mei Niang was wearing a white nightgown, and looked at Bai Yin suspiciously: "Princess, aren't you taking care of the carved child?"
"He said to me, let me come to you to get the medicine for the wounds of the sword, which I put here with you the other day. ”
"What kind of medicine?" Mei Niang said suspiciously.
"Nick told me about the medicine you have here!"
"He didn't put medicine on me. ”
After speaking, the two were silent for a few seconds, and suddenly looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Oops!"
Mei Niang didn't care about putting on her coat at this time, and ran back to the scoring room with Bai Yin.
The room was empty, and only the oil lamp was left alone.
The two of them hurried to the door again, and asked the Crane Commander if he had seen the nick go out, and the result was also a negative answer.
So the two hurriedly shouted and told Madame Bai and the others.
When the cut jumped out of the bamboo forest behind the house, the whole person fell into a mess, because the internal force had not yet recovered, and the natural physical fitness was no different from that of ordinary people.
The cut walked along the path of the City Lord's Mansion, staring at every inch of land under his feet.
"Am I still not able to fight alongside my father after all?"
"City Lord, I really tried my best......"
As he thought, his nicked fists were clenched tightly, his nails were buckled into the flesh, and dark red blood flowed out of his palms.
"I really did my best......" the notch kept repeating, and he kept walking down the road until he stopped.
When he looked up, it turned out to be the Nine Dancing Knight Academy, and at this time he was only the distance from the bridge, which was the one that was sold to the little beggar who sold the carved bracelet that day.
The nick touched the wrist, and the bracelet was still in the hand, but she couldn't feel Mei Niang anymore, because since Mei Niang felt Bai Yin's abnormal feelings for the nick, she tried not to mention the nick in front of Bai Yin, and the bracelet was naturally placed in the box, but occasionally, Mei Niang would pick it up and take a look in the room, thinking about her son-in-law.
This bridge is one of the few bridges in the Flower Realm City, and under the bridge is the turbulent river, the source of the river is said to be on the mountain, and down, it can lead all the way to the south bank of the Cangwu Continent.
As for the builder of this bridge, it was already before Taizu, and at that time, it was believed that the construction of such a bridge did not rely on the strength of people, but with the help of the gods.
The mind kept coming back to the chaos when he was unconscious, and although he couldn't see his father's face clearly, the disappointment was imprinted in his heart like a soldering iron.
And the figure of the city lord is the same, his whole body is drenched in blood, just to protect this side of the water and soil, the two people who are most beloved are so heroic, thinking that he can't even pass through the little white clothes......
Nick smiled, laughed a few times at the sky, and shed crystal tears from the corners of his eyes, only to see him cross the bridge railing, gently close his eyes, the tears on his face have not dried up, and then jump.
"Plop ......"
With a few ripples and a few bubbles rippling on the water, it took about ten minutes or so for the calm to return to the same as before.
