Chapter 13 Rehabilitation and Homecoming
When I woke up, I found myself in a comfortable bed, the room was very clean, only a bed and a table with a large axe next to it.
It seems that I am not dead, although I don't know why the man-eating bear let me go at the last moment, but I really don't want to recall, for fear of recalling it again, the man-eating bear is not afraid, but bites my head in one bite.
"You're awake?" It's Tam who is grinning at me with a big mouth.
I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak, my throat was itchy and uncomfortable, and I coughed and vomited a lot of blood.
"Don't struggle, you've been in a coma for two days, it's not a big problem to spit out this mouthful of blood, I'll have someone mix some medicine for you, don't worry, you can't lose your life."
After taking the medicine, after more than half a day, I felt a little better, although I couldn't move, but I could speak:
"You're such a demon that you let me fight that monster, and although I survived, I didn't think I had won, and I closed my eyes and my mind was full of blood."
"Okay, don't complain, if you don't die, there will be a greater calamity waiting for you, what is this? Aren't you free? ”
Hearing this lifted my spirits, yes, I was free, and although it was a bit costly, it turned out to be good, and Tamu continued:
"But don't thank me, it's not me who took you out of here, it's him."
I shook my head in the direction of his finger with difficulty, and found that there was another man in the room, who was about the same size as me, with a battered countenance, a scar on his left eye, and a white hair on his forehead that had been combed into his black hair, but could not be hidden.
Another acquaintance - Darius.
"Your expression tells me you know him, right, Zhao Xin?"
I really don't want to be with this catfish monster anymore, why does he know everything I think?
"Oh? You know me, I introduced you to the province, I saw your battles, I need a warrior like you, so I bought you for two thousand gold coins, and you will serve me in the future. ”
Oh, interesting, am I going to be dominated by elementary school students? I didn't expect that it was not Demacia who took Zhao Xin out of the gladiatorial arena, but Darius, but thinking about it is a new experience, it seems to be good:
"Okay, I promise you, but when I'm healed, I'll go back to Demacia first, and then I'll look for you."
"Back to Demacia? Aren't you an Ionian? It's weird to me. With that, he looked at Tam.
"Don't look at me, General Darius, I don't know what he thinks, but I can tell he's missing someone."
"Okay, I promise you."
It turns out that this catfish monster doesn't know everything, and I really think about Fiona, I haven't even received a letter from her since I joined the army, and several life and death experiences almost made me never have a chance to see her again.
I can't wait to meet her and learn about the war by the way.
Wait, Darius is also involved, just ask him first, but I can't let him know that I was in that war too.
"Darius, I think you seem to be very idle, shouldn't you be busy with military affairs? I heard that you and Demacia also fought a battle. ”
"Don't mention old things."
Now I'm at a loss, what is an old thing? But he didn't want to mention it, so I won't ask deeply, lest he think too much, and when he returns to Demacia, he will know everything.
I recuperated for more than a month to recover from this serious injury, and it was with the help of various excellent potions of Tamu, otherwise I really don't know when I would recover.
After bidding farewell to Tam, I departed for Demacia, my heart like a bird, but as I was leaving, Darius came, and I saw him dressed in furs, with a tattered hat, and a stubble on his face, like a raunchy merchant.
"What are you?"
"Let's go, I'll go with you to Demacia."
"Follow me to Demacia? If you are recognized, you are not certain to die? Of course, your life has nothing to do with me, but I will also be killed as your accomplice. ”
"Don't worry, they won't recognize me, there are not many people who know me, not to mention my current appearance."
Noxus and Demacia are located on the east and west sides of the Valoran continent, respectively, while Doco is in the northeast corner of Noxus, very far from Demacia.
The two of us drove the wagon, loaded a cart of herbs, and pretended to be merchants.
Because I was of the appearance of an Ionian, and Darius wore a large hat and was very well concealed, there was no trouble along the way, and it was another month or so before we arrived at the former battlefield, the Eastern Mountains.
The inventory here is more strict, the only trade road is heavily guarded, everyone and every piece of luggage will be thoroughly checked, and the person who takes the lead is none other than my former captain Alvin.
I feel happy to see him alive after a long absence, but, how do you feel that he is so much older?
Captain Alvin used to be a kind person and very conscientious, so he was indeed very suitable for this job.
Our carriage was turned over, and when he was sure there was no problem, he began to search us, and I was clean and empty, and the examination was soon completed, but when it came to Darius, something went wrong.
He looked at him after searching Darius, as if he was thinking about something, did he recognize it?
I was so nervous that I was already thinking of a way out, but Darius didn't panic, and he reached into his purse and pulled out a few gold coins.
"Small business, when we come back from selling the goods, we will have a big thanks!"
Captain Alvin showed his usual smile and let us go without saying a word. What's ...... Bai startled me, it turned out that this was solved, I put my mind at ease, and at the same time, Alvin's position in my heart plummeted.
The grass and trees in the plains at the foot of the mountain are still very lush, thinking that there was a big battle here not long ago, and there is no trace of it in just a few months, the breeze blows, and the weeds brush and brush, which evokes the memories of my military training.
I was standing in the carriage, looking at a sea of emerald green, breathing in the air here, feeling very comfortable, when suddenly I saw a hill in the distance, what is this? I don't remember a hill here.
As I got closer, I realized that this was not a hill, but a statue, this statue was dozens of meters tall, it was supposed to be white, but the traces of time made him look a little old, especially the two feet were dyed yellow and black by the grass, and there was a fence around it.
I'm no stranger, this is Galio.
When was the statue of Galio placed here? It must have been after the war, but looking at his mottled body, which seemed to have stood here for a long time, I had some doubts in my heart, and stopped the carriage to take a closer look at this remarkable work.
"Be careful, don't let him live and trample on us to death!" Darius made me laugh when he said something sly, but halfway through the laugh, I suddenly remembered something.
"Lonely ...... Warrior...... In the fight, angry ...... Giant...... In the sorrow. ”
This was a prophecy that Tabal brought to me at my bar mitzvah, and I never knew what it meant, and then I forgot about it.
That's when I remembered what had happened here when I was dying: the mountain roared loudly, and then a huge figure walked towards the battlefield.
Could it be that the huge figure at that time was Galio? Everything became clear:
It was the fusion of my blood and the Giantstone that guided Galio to sleep in the Eastern Mountains and put an end to the war! That's why I'm the prophesied savior!
"You've seen him move, haven't you?" I confirmed to Darius.
He didn't answer me at first, staring at Galio's torso with a solemn expression, and sighed for a long time:
"Alas, I have fought countless battles in my life, and I have encountered all kinds of enemies, the fierce Freljord tribe, the difficult bushmen, the vicious mage army, but I have never suffered such humiliation—our people have just begun, and our people have been broken and defeated."
His lost appearance made people feel inexplicably distressed, and also, as the invincible hand of Noxus, such a defeat was indeed unacceptable, I didn't pretend to comfort him, just returned to the carriage and left here.
After passing through a few towns, I can already see the city of Miyin from afar, where I woke up, and now I feel a little homecoming, and more importantly, there are people I miss there.
Along the way, hear a lot of stories about Levo and Galio: Young Master Levo of the Laurent family, who saved Demacia by transforming into the Colossus of Justice when Demacia was dying, and the person who channeled this force was Galen, the general of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion.
I don't know why the story is like this, but it seems like a good thing: it's a lot of songs, it's a lot of heroes. As for the tragedy of the battlefield and the real grief, it has also become the poetry of the survivors, and it seems that it has really been passed down through the ages.
"The people of Demacia always like to be immersed in ideals, and it is the rulers who protect them too well, so that when the real catastrophe comes, they cannot resist, and always rely on the giants?"
Darius said calmly, I agree with this statement.
After entering the Secret Silver City, I found that there was no change here, the white city walls and the peaceful atmosphere were exactly the same as before, and I felt comfortable for a while, because the changes along the way were so great that I felt as if time had passed for a long time.
When I was in the gladiatorial arena, I longed to come back with my wings on my back, but now that I'm back, I'm worried, what kind of attitude should I take to face Fiona?
I was no longer Levo, and I couldn't go in and out of the Laurent Mansion as freely as I used to, and talk and laugh with her and practice freely.
When I was confused, I saw a familiar building, the Hall of Valor, where Fiona and I have been here and dreamed of, so let's pay tribute to our dead comrades, as well as Quinn who died to protect me.
Darius did not go in with me, but he looked after the carriage and the goods not far away, and in his words, "I was afraid that I would not be able to control myself from smashing their inscriptions when I went in." ”
The solemn atmosphere of the Hall of Valor is still poignant, and the white stone tablet in the center of the hall is engraved with the names of the soldiers who have distinguished themselves in battle, some of whom I have been with day and night, and some of whom I do not know.
As my finger ran over the stele, I soon spotted Quinn, with her name engraved along with Warlock, and at the same time, I found the name next to it: Levau Laurent.
