Chapter 215: Ancestors and Grandchildren
Eisen felt as if he had a dream, a long, long dream, in which he returned to his carefree youth, and the memories of the past were no longer filled with dusky hues as in the dreams of the past few years, as if they were the last calm before the storm, as if they were a comedic foreshadowing to counter the tragedy - in this dream, the old qiΔ was so warm and nostalgic.
Eisen felt that he had broken out of the cage in which he was imprisoned and regained his true self.
He felt that he had to thank someone, and if it weren't for the fact that the person dragged him out of the cage of the house in a brutal manner, forced himself to face it, and made him awaken his courage step by step, then maybe he would still be alive in a daze...... Mr. Sigma, though a strange man, is a good man, kind, with a sense of justice, and a brave heart.
Why do I hear strange noises? Why do you hear someone talking? Wait a minute...... I seem to hear Mr. Sigma's voice, I see, yesterday I passed out? Did Mr. Sigma save me? Is he calling me? No, I can't let Mr. Sigma worry, I have to wake up......
In the confusion and chaos, the light of reason is breaking through the fog, wanting to wake up and regain control of the body.
Mr. Sigma, you must be in a hurry right now......
Eisen thought.
Although I have a cynical face, although I like to play tricks on people, and I also like to complain and prank, I should be very anxious to see me lying in the ruins. Dragged me out of the dust and puddles, rocked my body, and listened to my heartbeat. Calling my name out loud, it's really hard to imagine what Mr. Sigma looks like with an anxious face, I really want to see this kind of guy in a hurry, if I suddenly open my eyes now, will it startle him?
- He should have a relieved look for a moment, and then his face changed in an instant, and he was back to that poisonous tongue. What will you say if you start to switch to a state of undisciplined discipline again? "If you don't wake up, I'm going to wake you up with the water of the White River. The way to wake up? Of course it's in the mouth -- I mean the mouth below", something like that.
After all, Mr. Sigma is also a person who is not frank.
In order not to worry the frank Mr. Sigma, Eisen felt that he should wake up sooner.
So he struggled to listen to the staccato sound, struggling as he could. Break free from the chaos that binds your soul - if you can hear the cries of others outside. Then the soul will be connected to the material world again, awaken from the coma, and regain control of the body.
Eisen tried, listened, struggled, and struggled not to trouble Mr. Sigma, who had helped him so much.
Finally, he heard the familiar sound in his ears.
That Mr. Sigma, though a little unruly, is still kind and has a sense of justice. That's what I said.
"So, if this dead fat man never wakes up again. Just give it to me. The corpse of a genius swordsman who died just after completing the awakening of the Flame Moon is very valuable, and I can transform the corpse into a stand-in messenger with the power of fire - I mean the alchemy puppet. I've got a name in mind, so I'll call it Red Magician......"
......At this moment, Eisen felt that reality and dreams were infinitely distant, and that it was really his fault to beautify Mr. Sigma's image without authorization, so he exclaimed, "What is the Red Magician!" β
Turning his head, he saw the man standing beside the bed.
He was genuinely grateful to someone he had quietly regarded as a mentor or even a brother.
A moment of astonishment appeared on the other party's face, and then he showed a hearty smile and gave himself a thumbs up: "The new member of the FFF regiment has survived the fire, congratulations on achieving the primary achievement of 'If you die or die', you will not die, but if you are lucky because of the success of this death, and have the ambition to challenge me as the king of bear children, then you are very wrong......"
Sigma smiled proudly at Eisen: "If you want to defeat the necromancer by dying, you are ten years early!" β
"......," Eisen asked, after a moment of silence, clearing his slightly hoarse voice, "Mr. Sigma always seems to be talking about something that seems to have a source but no one can understand it, so doesn't he feel lonely?" β
With a "poof", someone's gloating laughter came from the corner, and Sigma froze before gritting his teeth and sneering, "If you want to play a meme that you can understand, right--Sure enough, choose the water of the White River...... It seems that your head is a little dizzy from being in the heat for too long, do you need to use the water of the White River to cool you down? How about pouring it straight into your mouth? I mean the mouth ...... below."
Sure enough......
Listening to Sigma's words, Eisen showed a brilliant and warm smile.
The necromancer shuddered, "...... Damn, you're laughing disgustingly. β
"Let's not mention this first...... Is everyone safe in Shirakawa? Eisen thought of his mission and purpose, smiled weakly, and asked softly, his voice was gentle, his expression was calm, and his whole temperament seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, he was no longer the dead fat man who cowered and ignored a qiΔ, and confidence and cheerfulness had gradually returned to him.
"Ah, although it was still a little dark in the middle of the night, I just caught up with a member of the FFF regiment to work on the mountain, and the house was set on fire, and I couldn't see it if I wanted to. I heard that there was also an evacuation convoy from another village because of the fire you set up, so they saw the direction of the destination and withdrew to the town along the way, they originally wanted to come to thank you in person, but you have been unconscious, and they have a heavy responsibility, so I asked me to bring a word, and I will thank you at the celebration banquet. Sigma laughed, "Congratulations, you became the hero of the town, defeated your cowardly self, and advanced to the gold ......."
"Golden Rank ......" Ai Sen was confused for a moment, and then his face changed, and then he realized the strangeness of his body, stretched out his hand, and a flame stretched out, and the red fighting aura was like a flame in a burning posture to reveal its form.
This is the genus Dou Qi Moon, which makes the original Dou Qi produce a certain special trait. It is a proof of gold-level powerhouse.
"It's ......," Eisen said as if in a dream, closing his eyes, "I feel the fighting spirit that has been dormant for several years running in my body in a more active manner. It's warm, it's active, it goes deep into every corner of the body, and it seems that our body, our blood, our organs, all of them are made up of tiny units of life. And the fighting spirit is slowly penetrating into the basic units that make up the body, strengthening them and transforming them. Full of them ......"
"Don't tell me...... Sigma's smile was a little lonely, "I can't follow the path of vindictiveness anymore." β
Eisen's expression was momentarily speechless, and his expression was apologetic, as he had heard about Mr. Sigma's past during the small talk. knows that he has given up the road of vindictiveness for some reason in the past two years. Became a necromancer, and although he achieved jaw-dropping results, proving that his talent for spells far exceeded his talent as a warrior, he gave up what he had been working on for more than a decade...... Sure enough, there will be some regrets.
Eisen didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Mr. Sigma wasn't someone who needed to be comforted.
The necromancer smiled, "Still, as a necromancer. In the future, you can even touch the end of the world, which is actually not bad......"
His smile was honest. It is a true warrior to be able to make the right choice and face the consequences calmly, as the president said, to be able to make the right choice and face the consequences calmly, as the president said, to have to give up some things for the sake of certain beliefs and things that must be protected.
Mr. Sigma, it was for something that he cherished, he gave up the path of fighting spirit, and became a necromancer who could allow him to achieve higher achievements and gain greater strength......
"Don't mention this stubble, okay, let's end this meeting, then you need to rest, don't be ......reckless" Sigma raised his hand and pressed Eisen, who wanted to struggle, shook his head, and said calmly, "You've done enough, let's leave it to us next, the dragon set must have the consciousness of the dragon set, and get the box lunch." β
"Besides, you awakened the Flame Moon on a rainy day, and it is this harsh environment, your body must have been damaged, maybe there are hidden dangers, what you have to do now is to take a good rest, and then sort out your current physical condition......" Sigma stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile, "This matter needs to be guided by a special mentor, and the problem of the new golden swordsman should be left to the old golden swordsman to guide and solve." β
He smiled and stepped out of the way.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Eisen's eyes.
The grandfather who raised him sternly and lovingly, but was deeply hurt by his naΓ―ve and cowardly nature.
Sigma beckoned to the people in the room and quietly withdrew, each smiling at Eisen before leaving, which warmed him and regretted it at the same time, because his little sister was not among them.
But he still eliminated a distracting thought in his heart, raised his head, met his grandfather's gaze, and calmly looked at him.
This was the first time in years since that incident that Eisen looked directly into his grandfather's eyes.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other silently.
After a long time, the old butler broke the silence.
"A long, long time ago, I sent your uncles to the battlefield in the west, and I thought I would have come to my senses, but when their ashes came back to me, I cried." "But the reason I'm crying isn't because of my death...... It's that I've never had a chance to tell these stupid kids that they're the pride of my life. β
He trembled and stretched out his hand, gently stroked Eisen's head, and said in a trembling voice: "When I couldn't find you everywhere, only saw the ruins after that fire, it was as if I had returned to that unforgettable night again, my heart was aching, I was overwhelmed with grief, I was no longer a mighty swordsman, just a cowardly old man, weak and weak on the ground, and I didn't even have the courage to take a step forward, afraid to see your charred corpse in the ruins......"
He stared at his grandson, holding back the tears in his eyes and revealing a warm smile: "Thanks to Mr. Sigma for dragging you out of the rubble, people with that surname are reliable...... It can be seen that he is also very anxious in his heart, and he has hesitated, but he still struggles to drag you out, he seems to be born so strong, without heart and lungs, dare to face a qiΔ ......"
Eisen said softly, "I'm sorry, grandpa, I disappointed you, I can't ...... like Mr. Sigma"
The old butler shook his head: "No matter how good Sigma is, he is also the grandson of that guy, he may be the pride of that old fellow, but my grandson is you, Eisen, my grandson, you once disappointed me, but until today...... I can finally reutter the words that I have buried for so many years and thought I would never be able to say to you again in this life......"
He shook Eisen's hand hard and said softly, "Well done, my grandson, I'm proud of you." β
The room resounded with Eisen's suppressed sobs, but could no longer be suppressed.
As if to vent the tears and grievances of these years together.
Ford leaned against the window, staring at the still dense rain curtain and listening to Eisen's uncontrollable whispers in the room.
After a long time, she smiled indifferently, turned away, put on her drenched robe, and rushed back into the heavy rain curtain to the stable, where Sigma and Gilly were arguing and tidying up.
They are already preparing to go out again.
Last night, the evacuation of Baihe Village, because it was too urgent, did not contact the scattered points sent out before, although a signal flare was issued, but only three groups of people returned along the way, and there was no news of five teams.
That's the purpose of the two's trip.
Seeing Ford, Sigma glared and said strangely: "Hey, shouldn't you be unable to suppress the feelings in your heart now, rush in and stage a sensational scene of three grandparents hugging their heads and crying?" β
Ford said bluntly, "They're my men, and I'm going with you." β
Sigma shook his head, and first pointed at himself shamelessly: "I, a peerless genius with super powerful necromantic talent. β
He pointed at Ji Li again: "She, although she is a shaky M, but she is also a sullen paladin." β
Finally, he pointed at Ford: "You, five scumbags." β
The necromancer ignored Gilly's squinted gaze and shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "So, don't follow us back." β
"I was able to take care of myself!" Ford said in a deep voice, "My men may be in danger, and I can't leave them alone!" β
"I went with Kieli because we are capable enough to protect ourselves in danger and be able to cooperate with each other, you must know that the Holy Sword has imprisoned a mountain for several hours, and it is too consumed to be used again in a short time, Athena is in the refugee area, assisting in the management with her own identity and influence, you go with us, safety is not guaranteed enough......" Sigma waved her hand, "So, you better go back and cry with your grandfather and your Ernie-chan." β
"I'm a silver swordsman, I also have magic items and medicines for protection, and more importantly, I'm their leader, they don't necessarily follow your orders and commands!" Ford glared at Sigma, "The conclusion is that I'm going to follow the past, and the pros outweigh the disadvantages!" β
ββ¦β¦ Although I want to say that I will not save you in danger, this is somewhat unlikely, after all, Uncle Ben is such a kind and compassionate man. Sigma touched her chin, then stared at Ford with extremely sharp eyes, and said word by word, "So, if you have any behavior that drags your feet and causes me to worry about you, then in the future, when I get married, I will definitely arrest you to warm the bed!" β
After that, Sigma's tiger body was shocked, and the king's overlord was wild, trying to shake Ford's delicate body with domineering and cold words and deeds.
At this moment, a herald hurried by, and when he heard such domineering words, he couldn't help but turn back, wanting to see which domineering man had said such wild wordsβand then he saw Sigma with a shocked body, and Ford, a handsome and slender man standing in front of Sigma.
Then the herald's body trembled, and his face was full of horror and quickened his pace.
"......" Sigma covered her face, her body trembling...... (To be continued......)
