Chapter 65
"If it's so painful, just die happily. Can't die. Can't die ......"
The story reaches its climax, when Delfin, who is betrayed by his best friend and fiancΓ©e, looks at the sunset at the pier where an important promise was made, and hesitates to jump.
The corners of Wood's mouth twitched slightly, why is such a bloody story widely circulated?
If he is the Delphin, he must give his best friend and fiancΓ©e all kinds of support on the surface, and bless them with a relieved look; Secretly poisoning this dog and man to torture to death, shouldn't normal humans do this?
It is harmful to keep this kind of dog man and woman who betrays him, and it is very likely that these two people will join forces to attack him first.
At the end of the performance, the surrounding audience couldn't help but be immersed in the opera.
However, Liliana did not linger on the stage, and after loading her musical instruments, she walked to the audience: "Thank you, my lord, for inviting me to eat, and I will leave here early tomorrow morning for the village of Alam." β
Wood nodded, got up from where he had sit, looked at the sky as dusk approached, and frowned.
Did you guess wrong?
He had been with Liliana almost all the day, but the person from the White Dragon Scale Mercenary Group never appeared; Thus...... Those people had either gotten other methods from the dead old man, or they were secretly planning something.
"Lord Wood... Lord Wood......"
The call around him brought Wood back to his senses and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?" β
"Let's say, Lord Wood, you don't seem to be from U'o-Uo, are you? When are you going to leave here? β
"Tonight!"
"In such a hurry?"
Liliana was stunned for a moment, and then the look on her pretty face relaxed, a large part of the reason why she left here in a hurry was because of Wood, and I don't know if it was an illusion...... She always felt that this child with a problem with his head was watching her all day today.
Now when she heard that Wood was leaving tonight, she was overjoyed.
Wood didn't see the excited look of 'you're finally out' on Liliana's face, and instead asked, "You said yesterday that you were going to find a new 'legend', what kind of new legend were you looking for?" β
ββ¦β¦ If you can, I hope it's a hero's biography. β
"Heroes?"
The corners of Wood's mouth curled up with imperceptible disdain, because no matter what he thought about it, Wood felt that he had nothing to do with the hero, or rather...... Wood felt that he was more suitable to be the villain of Heroes.
Shrugging his shoulders, Wood said, "It's really not easy to find heroes in this era." β
"Yes."
Liliana looked helpless, apparently understanding what Wood meant.
In this day and age, there are no new heroes, because there is no need for heroes in this era.
Hundreds of years ago, when the witch was flying and the world was full of threats, it was a soil that could give birth to heroes; And now in this world, even if it only looks peaceful on the outside, new heroes or anything will not be needed by the public.
Unless......
Wood had a weird smile on his face, this smile was full of what no one could see, but it made people instinctively feel creepy, and Liliana, who witnessed this smile, couldn't help but stiffen, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Wood didn't look at her.
In the absence of television and newspapers as a means of disseminating information to the masses, the impact of the troubadours who wandered around the world to spread history and events through their songs was undoubtedly enormous, as was the case in the promotion of faith.
So yesterday, when Liliana said she wanted to find a new legend, Wood had already had the idea to ask her to help him spread the word about the faith.
Unlike other bodies, the god of sleep can only start from the side of believers if he wants to be strong, although he who becomes a famous god will not disappear like a nameless god even if he has no believers, but without believers, his divine power will be greatly weakened, and the weakening of divine power will affect the stability of his own split soul.
Because of this, Wood has always attached great importance to the strength of his divine power, and it doesn't matter if he is strong or not, but ...... Divine power is linked to one's own life.
But......
What's the new Hero Biography?
Let him do the things that heroes do, Wood would never do.
But that doesn't mean he can't be a hero.
Destroying a country in secret and saving a country in the open is a hero in the eyes of those who are saved.
Or ......
Secretly destroying half of the world, and then standing up to save the other half of the world, then he is a hero in the hearts of the living.
However, if you want to do this, you must be sure that there is no stronger existence in this world than yourself, otherwise you will become a stepping stone on the road of becoming a hero for others; Although Wood doesn't care about being a stepping stone, if he is accidentally killed by a hero who suddenly appears, there is really no place to cry.
So it's safer to create something that destroys the world on your own.
"That's... Lord Wood...... You, are you alright? β
Turning his head to look at the nervous Liliana, Wood smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered something interesting." During the conversation, the two had already returned to the inn where they were staying, and after glancing at the proprietress who rolled her eyes when she saw her, Wood smiled: "Let's go, I'll treat you to one last meal, I'm going to leave here after eating." β
"Huh?"
Liliana was stunned for a moment, and then her little face was happy, completely leaving behind the fear that had just sprung up in her heart: "Thank you so much!" β
The two of them found a place to sit down, and Wood ordered a few random dishes.
The meal was served quickly, and it didn't take long for it to be served on the table one after another, looking at Liliana with a big appetite, Wood touched his chin and said, "By the way, are you interested in the biography of the gods?" β
"A biography of the gods?"
Liliana paused for a moment, and then said vaguely while chewing the food in her mouth: "How can there be any gods in this world, it is not as reliable to praise the gods as to praise the witch, at least the witch really exists in this world." β
Wood said angrily, "...... Swallowing something in your mouth is talking. β
"Ah, get used to it... But ......"
Liliana put down her chopsticks and rubbed her eyes, and suddenly there was a touch of tiredness on her little face: "How suddenly... But feel so sleepy? β
Sleepy?
Wood was stunned for a moment, looking at Liliana, whose little head was little by little, and her eyes were a little unopen, and her face was a little puzzled.
However, then his eyes turned to the food on the table.
Are you coming?
Judging by Liliana's reaction, it was clear that the meal was adulterated with drugs or something.
And it does......
Thinking of this, Wood's upper body suddenly shook: "Hmm... What do you say...... I also suddenly felt a little dizzy. β
Bang! Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, two muffled sounds rang out, and Wood and Liliana lay on the table at the same time.
But one is a real halo, and the other is a false halo.
It wasn't long before the sound of footsteps came through, and two rows of men in white walked from the second floor of the hotel, just in time to walk up to Wood and Liliana, blocking out the view from both sides.
"Hurry up and get people out."
"By the way, did you just see this little imp eating?"
"Nonsense! How could he faint without eating. β
"That's true, but are we going to take this imp with us?"
"Take it, it's troublesome to lose this place and be discovered by the city guards."
ββ¦β¦β
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it had been less than half a minute from the time Wood and the men in white had come down from the stairs, and when they walked by......
Wood and Liliana are gone.
β¦β¦
