Chapter 66: Parting (1)
Bitrice and Ashley gradually flew towards the sky, and just as they were about to leave the ancient Sicil Forest, Butos suddenly stopped Bitrice: "Wait a minute, old man. β
Butos looked towards the huge fire hole in the ground, in which countless treasures and treasures belonging to goblins were reduced to ashes, flames spreading, and cries for help were constantly drowned......
"We can't just walk like this, or the fire will ......burn everything here," Butos said in despair.
Gnomes also came from all directions, each with a bucket in his hand.
From above, Butos sees the green dwarf Dadamosi, who is directing the gnomes to put out the fire.
βDilszer...... Moxinouhf......" Butos chanted a mantra softly, and the light of the "Tears of the Shark" shone in the moonlight.
The pitch-black night sky suddenly became even darker, and dark clouds gradually shrouded the sky over the ancient Sicil forest, and from time to time purple thunder and lightning flashed in the sky.
"Let's go...... Bitrice. Butos' heart was heavy, and he didn't expect such an outcome from the goblins of Gucicil.
The "Tears of the Shark", which is constantly sucking the undead, is faintly glowing with purple light, and it seems to like the ghosts of the goblins.
Butos held the "Tears of the Shark" tightly, and he had an urge to throw this evil thing into the pit of fire. If Butos's power had to be sustained by the dead, he would rather have nothing and be worthless.
The thunder roared, and the rain fell with Ashley's tears, eventually melting into the scorched earth of the Gucicil Forest. Ashley took off the ring where the gold coin was stored and threw it towards the Gulcil Forest......
The cold rain drenched the fur on Dadamosi's body, and the green dwarf raised his head to look up at the sky as he stretched out his palm. The moonlight gradually darkened by dark clouds, and Butos and Ashley flew slowly into the distance in a giant owl.
Dadamosi let out a sigh as he poured the water in his hand into the glowing dungeon, and the gray smoke rose instantly......
Bitrice flew in the sky for an unknown amount of time, and eventually it stopped its wings on a high mountain cliff.
With a heavy heart, Butos jumped off Bitrice's body, and after stepping on the ground steadily, Butos held out his hand to Ashley, who was still sitting on Bitrice.
This time, however, Ashley did not give her hand to Butos.
Ashley jumped off Bitrice's back in some rage, and then shouted at Butos, "Do you know what you did, great Butos?"
"I destroyed the dungeon of the goblins, I hurt countless lives......" Butos's gaze was filled with endless loss and grief.
Ashley walked into Butos step by step, and then said loudly in a stern tone, "The dungeon was destroyed because of Lilway!
"That's all I can ......," replied a tired Butos in a whisper.
Tears rolled in Ashley's eyes, and she questioned Butos because she knew very well what would happen when the Frost Relic was taken away, and countless lives would be sent to Hell...... And even in the dungeon, in the face of such a critical moment, Ashley's heart was filled with endless fear, but she also knew deeply that her life was not worth trading for thousands of other lives, and Butos should not bear the condemnation for her future.
"Your mission is to save Middle-earth, Butos. Ashley's voice trembled a little: "It's not worth ...... for me like this"
"My mission is not to save Middle-earth...... "Butos's voice still buried grief and loss.
"What?" said Ashley, thinking she had misheard.
Butos slowly raised his head and looked at Ashley, "I never wanted to save Middle-earth...... I just hope that the one I love doesn't leave my side. I don't want to be a hero, if I could, I'd rather be in the village forever watching the crops grow and watching the stream flow in front of the door...... But now, apart from Yarusal, only I can use this sorcery. β
Butos took out the "Tears of the Shark", and the "Tears of the Shark" was faintly flashing with purple light, and it seemed to be very satisfied with the "feast" just now.
"I didn't have a choice, Ashley, I never had a choice. Tears streamed down Butos' face: "The last time I lost the person I loved the most was when I was asleep, and this time I have a chance to save my beloved, I can't watch you die in the fire." β
Ashley's eyes also flowed with tears, she gently took Butos's hand, and then said in a comforting tone, "But there are always people who want to be heroes, and Middle-earth has chosen you, and you are a hero." Only you can stop the darkness and evil. Even if you don't want to be a hero, even if you don't want to lose anything, you can only do that. It may be unfair to you, but ...... There's really no way, Butos. Disaster is coming, only you can be a hero, only you can save Middle-earth......"
Butos hugged Ashley and began to cry bitterly: "I really can't help it, when I wake up one morning, the world changes, and I am alone. I desperately tried to find someone I had lost, only to be misunderstood and deceived in the end. I thought I could save old Butos, I always thought he would come back to me, but he never came back, he never came back......"
Ashley hugged Butos, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"I never wanted to be a hero, I just wanted to be a simple adventurer. But I haven't even seen the flames of the phoenix bird now, not even the sunrise over Maple Creek Canyon......"
"Listen to me, Butos. Ashley's voice trembled and said, "You will see the sunrise in Maple Creek Canyon, and you will also see the phoenix bird." I'll go with you to see it, but until then, we're going to get the job done. As long as the disaster is over, we can go to see the sunrise, I have heard people talk about the Maple Creek Canyon, where the maple leaves will fly in the autumn and the sun will rise in front of you, and I will sit with you on the edge of the canyon at dawn one day and watch the light rise from the east......"
"But when will the disaster end?" asked Butos, tearfully.
"When you become a hero. Ashley replied affirmatively, "By that time I had already become the wife of a hero." The corners of Ashley's mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled poignantly.
A sad Butos suddenly kissed Ashley passionately. The two young souls begin to entangle themselves with each other again.
The moon slowly fell towards the ground, and a soft light gradually appeared from the east.
On this extremely high cliff, the sky is dyed in two colors, one half is a dreamy blue, and the other half is a red that symbolizes hope and fiery......
Ashley gently placed her hand on the button of her dress, and Butos grabbed Ashley's hand that tried to undo it.
"No, Ashley. Butos looked at Ashley with sincere eyes: "I will marry you, and we will have a lot of tender times." β
Ashley whispered, "Soon, I'll be twenty years old...... Two weeks later, Thursday will be my birthday......"
"That is also the day you marry me, Ashley...... "Butos said gently, "but you can't go with me again, you must go back home." β
"Why?" asked Ashley.
"Trust me, I'm definitely going to marry you that day. "But before that, I'm going to find Eramus." And I must go to the Ancient Frost Palace to stop Yarusal's plot. β
"Then I'll wait for you. Ashley whispered as she took off Charles' cloak and draped it over Butoth's body, "I'll wait with you to see the sunrise over Maple Creek Canyon." β
Butos kissed Ashley softly again, tears running down Butos's face and dripping down Ashley's face.
In the midst of the most beautiful dawn, they promised each other, all that they had, and all that they loved......
