Chapter Twenty-Three: Walking on the Road of Pretending
Above the blue sky, there were a few white clouds floating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lord Sanchi, with light blue curly hair and a noble sword at his waist, was silently standing behind Hua Li Lang, his war horse gnawing on the grass on the hillside, swimming fish breaking through the water, and colorful butterflies dancing in the air. The wind on the riverside was blowing his long black hair, looking at the slightly undulating water, Hua Li Lang gently stretched out his hand, and a pale yellow dragonfly stopped at his fingertips.
The dragonfly flapped its wings, as if taking its fingers for a branch, and stopped here for a short rest.
Hua Li Lang looked down at his fingertips and sighed: "No one knows where it will fly, but the place it chases must be what it yearns for." Maybe one day, with a slight flap of its wings, it will set off a stormy wave in the middle of the sea. ”
Hua Li Lang raised his hand and watched the dragonfly fly away from his fingertips.
His gaze is tender and vivid, and his figure is tall and erect.
Lord Sanchi's eyes were full of admiration and admiration, the man's thoughts were so advanced and strange, and every word he said seemed to contain philosophy. Thinking of this, Lord Sanji could not bear to persuade him anymore, he was afraid that his voice would ruin this beautiful situation.
I don't know when, Hua Li Lang's hand was on Sanji's shoulder, looked at him, and said to him: "This time I followed Galen deep into the enemy's hinterland, although it is nine deaths, but it is also what I yearn for. Although I am not from Demacia, there is still a trace of justice in my heart, and I firmly believe that as long as I have a firm direction, I will definitely be able to save the prince! As a nobleman, you will have a better life, but you must remember not to let lust and greed corrupt your heart! You have never been my follower, you are free! I've never been a hero, I'm free! ”
After saying this, Hua Lilang blew a whistle vigorously, and the war horse that was gnawing grass heard the sound and ran, Hua Lilang turned over and got on the horse, with a faint smile on his face: "After crossing the river, help settle the refugees." Although they are poor, they will never abandon you when you are most dangerous, this is the justice that still exists in the world! ”
Sanji raised his head, he watched the figure of Hua Li Lang gradually disappear into his eyes, and suddenly he smiled, but at the moment of laughing, his eyes were a little moist.
In this period of invasion of the invaders, he saw the ugliest things in the world, and also felt the most sincere warmth. Whether it is the ranger Hua Li Lang or the hero Hua Li Lang, in Sanji's heart, some things will never change.
This man like the wind is the hero in my heart!
Sanchi turned and beckoned his retinue to prop the boat up, and he would walk with the refugees to find a place for them to rest.
Pretending to be tired...... In the place where Sanji couldn't see, Hua Li Lang breathed a long sigh of relief, but there was a dark refreshment in his heart: Invisible pretending to be B is the biggest pursuit in my life!
Hua Li Lang returned to the camp, and Galen and his men were ready to go. Hara, the one-armed mountain bandit, Reagan, the mountain people, Qiao Fei, the brave ranger, and Sam, the wandering mercenary...... The four of them were quietly waiting for Hua Li Lang's arrival.
This time, Hua Li Lang only planned to take the four of them there, because he knew that this trip would be extremely dangerous. These four people, whether in terms of force or knowledge, are considered to be the top in Hua Li Lang's troops. Galen's subordinates, as he said, are all elites, and what he needs is not the combat power of Hua Li Lang, but the familiar geography.
Three of these four people traveled north and south, and they were very familiar with the borders of Rhine, Almu, and even Noxus. This is what Galen desperately needs!
The rest of the people, Hua Li Lang handed over all to Sanji. In addition to some of Hua Li Lang's words deliberately pretending, a large part of them is actually his own voice. In the eyes of Sanchi and the refugees, Hua Li Lang is a hero, and if he follows them across the river, he may be rewarded by the king or something, but these are not what Hua Li Lang wants.
Although Hua Li Lang likes the feeling of being admired, he knows that he is not a hero. Auston's sword made Hua Li Lang realize how small he was, and Galen's sword made Hua Li Lang realize how powerful he was in this world.
"I will definitely get stronger and become a real hero!" When leaving with Galen, Hua Li Lang looked behind, he believed that he would definitely come back, and he would be full of honor at that time!
War horses galloped on the road, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating. Led by Sam and Jofy, they will pass through a path to reach the first goal of the trip, the town of Grim.
Galen said that in the town of Grim, there is a person he needs to wait for.
With a shortcut, it took them a day to reach the town of Grim. The townsfolk had almost fled, and all that was left was the old ones who couldn't run. This is a place close to the defenders, the Noxian army has not reached this place, and the houses and buildings in the town have not been damaged.
When they arrived in the town, Galen and his men found some uninhabited people to live in, and the adjutant Jennis arranged for people to cook, and Galen took Hua Li Lang and the two of them to the church in the town.
The churches in the town are not very large and are all made of marble. When Hua Li Lang and the two walked to the side of the church, they even heard the bell inside the church. The bell rang again and again, ringing in this uninhabited town. Hua Li Lang suddenly felt a creepy, he turned his head to look at Galen, and asked weakly, "There shouldn't be a ghost here, right?" ”
Galen laughed twice and glanced back at him, "It's you who have a ghost in your heart!" ”
After saying that, he was the first to enter the church. Hua Li Lang muttered a few words behind his back and walked in. The statue of the god of light in the church is the statue of Helios, the god of light, and a rickety figure in a black priest's robe is praying in front of the idol.
In the midst of the smoke, Hua Li Lang looked at the idol of Helios, the man on the idol of the god wore a golden headband, held two weapons in his hands, a large sword of a strange style, and a large shield inscribed with the sun, his head looked up to the east, as if he was paying attention to something.
This idol seemed to be familiar, Hua Li Lang frowned, and fell into thought. It didn't take long for him to suddenly remember that the weapon in the hand of Leona, the goddess of the dawn, seemed to be very similar to the weapon of this idol.
Hua Li Lang, who was thinking about it, suddenly heard a voice: "Are you confused, child?" ”
Hua Li Lang raised his head, he saw a face full of wrinkles, his eyes wandered slightly, and he saw that Galen didn't know when he had knelt down in front of the idol, and he was still standing stupidly. Hearing the old pastor's question, Hua Li Lang rolled his eyes, pointed to the idol with his finger, and asked, "Can God really hear our prayers?" ”
"Can't!"
The old pastor's firm answer made Hua Li Lang a little surprised. Or seeing Hua Li Lang's surprised look, the old pastor smiled lightly: "God is the sustenance of our spirit, and when we pray, we are only strengthening the will of our hearts." Every true god is a mortal before the fire is lit, but they are all people who have the courage to sacrifice and give, and his name deserves our praise! ”
"Helios lived in ancient times, when humans were enslaved by ancient beasts, serving as their rations and sacrifices. Helios led the people in a rebellion, they overthrew the rule of the ancient beasts and saved humanity from darkness, so we worship him as light! Galen didn't know when he stood up and explained to Hua Li Lang.
Hua Li Lang saw the old priest smile, the wrinkles on his face spread like water waves, and he also understood that it was not so much that the people in this world believed in God, but that they worshiped heroes! Hua Li Lang's heart moved, and he bent down and saluted the old pastor: "May the light be with us!" ”
The old priest suddenly became solemn as well, and he made a strange gesture in return, "The Illuminati will always be with you!" ”
Galen stood by and watched quietly, waiting for their blessing ceremony to be completed, before he said to the old priest, "Dear Coach Gaia, please tell me the news of Wayne." ”
Teaching is the honorific title of the head of the church, which can be understood as the person who holds the doctrine in his hands. The old priest named Gaia nodded slightly, and said, "Three days ago, the child of Wayne came here to pray, and she told me that if anyone was going to come to her, let them go to Munimo and wait for her. ”
Galen asked, "What is Munimo, please?" ”
"Munimo is a quiet village with a teacher who believes in the doctrine of balance. It is on the south side of the Akar Mountains, in the middle of the winding Vistula River. ”
Same time, different place.
In distant Amur County, the army of Noxus has gathered here. Almost all of the troops had withdrawn from the Rhine, and the commander of the army, Svein, was leading the troops to drive the crowd.
If it were on Earth, Svein's way of doing it would be population plunder. Svein's method is simple, destroy the enemy's homeland and plunder the enemy's population, this trick is called the bottom of the kettle. However, Svein's advanced methods did not seem to be recognized by his subordinates, and his arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were clamoring one by one to kill the royal city of Debang and establish immortality. Svein can only use strong means to supercharge these restless guys, only he understands that the foundation of Demacia is still there, and now is not the time to start a war to destroy the country.
But his old friend, the man with whom he was known as the Twin Walls of the Empire: General Dukao, seemed to be unable to contain his desire to make a comeback, and he was actively preparing in the royal city, preparing some unfriendly conspiracy against him.
In Svein's mind, his worst enemies were not the Demacians, not the Ionians...... Rather, Dukao, who is known as the twin walls of the empire like himself.
Dukao's comeback is when he is in decline. Although he is now victorious and looks glamorous on the surface, he knows that his enemies will definitely use the darkest means to frame him. And at this moment, his trusted henchman Raven finally returned.
