Chapter 10: The Last Cup

"Brother......" Keane looked at the blue sky and asked Yasuo calmly, "Old Mr. Stewart, did you really kill you?" ”

Yasuo said in a deep voice, "If I say no, will you believe it?" ”

Keane didn't speak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yasuo picked up the flask, threw it to Keane and said, "The vodka from Gulagas, this vodka may clear your confusion, do you want to take a sip?" ”

"Hey, vodka, that's a good thing, why not?" Keane smiled and took the wine and drank it, but as soon as he took a sip, he coughed up, coughing up blood constantly, but continued to drink after coughing.

"Hey, dude, don't ...... that" Yasuo tried to stop Keane.

But Keane skimmed Yasuo's hand and said with a smile: "I remember when we first met, you were injured and still drinking, I stopped you, but you were drinking, and you said a word, have you forgotten what it is?" ”

"There are three things you must do in life, honor, death, and a hangover." Yasuo said lightly.

Keane said, "Then don't stop me." ”

Yasuo said: "I didn't stop you, I just want to say that you drink slowly." ”

"Okay." Keane drank a little slower, his pale face suddenly showed a little nostalgia and sadness, and said slowly, "Dude, do you know why Ember wants to kill me? ”

Yasuo said: "He just likes to kill. ”

"No, Ember doesn't kill ordinary people, only you powerful people. He didn't look down on people like me, but he put me on the list of works because. Keane's voice suddenly became much heavier: "I'm guilty. ”

Yasuo was silent, ready to be a listener.

Keane took a sip of vodka and said, "Do you remember the last time you went with me, my village?" ”

Yasuo remembered, of course, because Keane's village had made such an impression on him that Yasuo thought of the desert when he heard it. That was the first desert Yasuo had seen in Ionia, because Ionia had never been a desert.

Keane said, "There's a maple grove there, do you remember?" ”

Yasuo said: "Yes. That maple forest is beautiful. ”

Keane said, "That's our village cemetery. ”

Yasuo was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

"You know what? I owe the lives of all those who sleep forever in the cemetery. ”

Kean smiled bitterly, a little frustrated and a little sad, and said with emotion: "Two years ago, I was a teacher in my village, teaching villagers how to cultivate rune energy. At that time, I could be regarded as the strongest person in the village, so good that the village chief was ready to give me the position at a young age, and also told me the biggest secret of the village...... There's an energy crystal hidden beneath the village! ”

Yasuo was stunned when he heard this, and he was really a little surprised, because the energy crystal was the most magical thing in Valoran and even the Runeterra, the source of rune energy, containing extremely amazing and even infinite energy! With an energy crystal, you can start a war!

Such a treasure, no matter how small, appears in a small village, it is shocking.

"Energy Crystal!" Keane was not very excited, and sighed, "I remember when I heard this secret, I was stupid. After that, the village chief told me the exact location of the energy crystal, and asked me to protect the village and this energy crystal. I remember being so happy that I swore in front of the village chief that I would defend the village and the energy crystal to the death. ”

"And yet I failed to fulfill my vow."

Keane said with a little sadness: "The war broke out, and I was accidentally captured by Noxus in the middle of the battle. Those Noxian bastards brought in my dreams, controlled by the Eternal Nightmare Demon, and learned the location of the energy crystals from my dreams. By the time I escaped and returned to the village, Noxus had burned down and the energy crystals had been snatched...... It's all because of me, I divulged the secret, which led to the demise of the village. I owe my village 3,000 lives to my life. ”

Yasuo patted Keane on the shoulder, "It's no wonder you. ”

Keane's face didn't look too sad, but his eyes were already red, and he sneered: "Actually, I had the opportunity to kill myself when I was caught, but I didn't, because I was afraid of death." And it was because of my fear that it led to all this. ”

Yasuo was silent.

"I swore to defend to the death, but I didn't dare to die, huh...... Hell *isn't it* ridiculous. Keane laughed at himself, "Maybe I haven't had a hangover yet, I want to try it." ”

Yasuo said: "No kidding, I don't want to waste time, tell me, why did Ember kill you?" ”

Keane coughed twice, vomited blood, turned paler and paler, and said, "Ember knows all this, so he put me on the list of works." I went to a battle and met Ember with a small team, and then I was pursued by him and fought him. ”

Yasuo said, "I guess your team is definitely not enough to fight the embers. ”

Keane laughed, "Do you still need to guess?" ”

Yasuo smiled bitterly, took a sip of vodka, and his face flushed a little: "Huh...... That's an ember. But if we make it back to camp alive, we can brag about it. We've had a fight with Ember the Dramatist. ”

Keane smiled wryly, "You said one more 's.'" And you can't go back to camp anymore.'"

Yasuo was silent.

The meadow was silent, and the atmosphere seemed dead silent.

Keane smiled wryly, and Yasuo remained silent.

After a long time, Yasuo spoke, breaking the silence.

"I don't understand, why did Ember leave just now?"

Keane shrugged: "I don't know. ”

Yasuo asked, "And what else do you know?" ”

Keane took a sip of vodka, then coughed twice, coughing out a few pieces of red and white.

Keane still had a wry smile on his face, but now the wry smile was much more bitter than the one just now, his hand fell weakly, and the vodka bottle fell to the ground, and with a bang, it shattered into countless pieces of glass.

The bottle shattered, which means something.

Yasuo knew what that meant, but he didn't say it. Keane, however, spoke quietly.

"I also knew that I was going to die."

……

What does it feel like to die...... Perhaps only Karshas, the carer of death, knew what it was like.

No one or creature wants to see Karthus, and Keane is no exception, and he doesn't want to see the pervert Karthus, who killed his master Morello when he heard that the pervert killed his master. Of course, no one wants to see such a pervert.

Of course, the main reason is that most of the creatures who see Karthus have become one of the countless undead.

Keane was about to go to see Karthas because he was dying.

Yasuo was silent, looking at the red and white thing Keane had just coughed up on the ground. If he read it right, the red ones were the pieces of flesh, and the white ones were the bones.

Keane didn't like to be quiet, and Yasuo was not happy to be silent, and shouted, "Speak, brother! ”

"It's just death, it's not a big deal." Yasuo laughed, took the vodka from himself, poured it into his bamboo glass, and put it in front of Keane's mouth, "Have a drink, man, you don't have much time to enjoy." ”

Keane smiled wryly, "One last cup." ”

Yasuo shrugged and said, "Maybe." ”

Keane drank and tilted his head slightly, not knowing whether to look at the sky or the trees.

It has to be said that the big tree that Keane leaned against was harder than Maokai, and the big tree was still strong in this lawn that had been bombed into ruins and even left only dust. However, there is only one leaf left in the whole tree.

Then, the leaf fell, floated before Gregory's eyes, and landed on the roots.

"Huh...... Brother, I ask you a question. Keane said as he looked at the leaves that had fallen to the roots.

"Just ask."

"Is the life of a leaf just to return to its roots?"

Yasuo had a few more black lines in his head and said, "This ...... It's my lines. ”

"I can tell you that there is one thing that leaves can do in their life in addition to their roots," Gkein said. ”

As he spoke, the wind suddenly rose in the streets, and the leaves fluttered in the wind.

And then Keane laughed and said, "It can also fly with the wind." ”

Yasuo raised his hand, feeling the wind blow through his hand that he was so familiar with, and said, "But now...... No wind. ”

"There's always going to be wind, but it's not coming. However, the leaves can still enjoy a feeling of hope. Keane smiled and said, "My village is the wind of my life, she makes my life fly and make sense, you know?" Brother, this is happiness. ”

Yasuo said, "I don't know what happiness is anymore. ”

Keane smirked, "Oh, brother, it's your fault that you can't enjoy it, I'm going to enjoy it forever." Hey, hey, let you stare dryly, I like the feeling of being envied by others. ”

Yasuo knew what Kean meant, and said lightly, "I'll go and get the energy crystal back." ”

His voice was soft, but firm, because it was a promise, and then the promise would turn into responsibility, and Yasuo would never be irresponsible.

Keane smiled meaningfully and said, "You don't want to be paid or anything, do you?" ”

"Of course!" Yasuo thought for a moment and said, "Grabbing the energy crystal is a big deal, and the reward will definitely be a little more, I want a Startik electric blade." ”

Keane smiled wryly.

Yasuo said, "But I will allow you to take credit for the next life." ”

"Actually, brother......" Keane said seemingly nonchalantly but earnestly, "you should soar too." ”

Yasuo didn't know what Keane meant, and was silent, looking down at his bloodstained hands.

"Hey, bro." Keane suddenly screamed again.

"What's wrong?"

"Are we friends?" Keane asked, looking at Yasuo.

Friends? Scold......

"I've forgotten that word." Yasuo said lightly.

Keane, however, laughed.

"But you've remembered the word, haven't you?" Keane said.

"So......" Yasuo looked at the sky, a little difficult but smiling, "we should be friends." ”

Keane didn't speak, he laughed there, and the laughter was hearty and hard to hear.

But Yasuo thought it sounded good, and laughed at Keane when he saw him laugh, picked up the bamboo cup and poured another vodka for Keane: "Celebrate our friendship." ”

Keane smiled bitterly: "I'm dying, and you're still celebrating." ”

Yasuo said: "Ning Ri is safe, no one can be cloudy." None of us know what the future holds. Just now you said that the vodka was your last, but obviously you were wrong. ”

"Huh...... Perhaps. Keane smiled disdainfully, and then, the smile that Yasuo had always disliked and was frozen on his face, completely, forever.

Yasuo suddenly felt that he still liked Keane's always a little smug smile, sat next to Keane, watched the smile be silent, drank the vodka in his hand, and smiled at Keane, who was no longer audible: "It seems that you are right, that is indeed your last glass." ”
