Page 288 [I'm on my way home. 】
Galen rode his horse and sang and ran for a long, long time.
It was so long that he was almost out of wine.
The night is still deep.
The snow is heavier.
He didn't have much strength left.
He was tired and he wanted a good night's sleep.
He knew he was going to die.
Die......
At the thought that the word was finally going to be connected to himself, Galen couldn't help but laugh, and with a smile, he pulled the arrows all over his body.
He coughed in pain, coughing as he picked up a small amount of wine and poured it down.
"Ahem—" Take a sip, take a sip.
A sip of wine, a sip of blood.
Galen swallowed the wine along with the blood.
"Die......" he patted Xiaobai under him, remembering that night many years ago.
At his own rite of passage, his father solemnly entrusted himself with the sword of his youth by the fire, and said: "Galen, my dearest son, the eighteenth generation of the Crown Guard family, from this day onwards, you will step into the world of adulthood, you will take up the sword of your father, you will face the whole world alone, you will be glorified and you will die, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm ......," Galen remembers as he looked at his father's face under the stove, and roared excitedly, "fearless!! ”
Fearless.
Galen whispered, taking another sip of wine.
He is not afraid of death.
The eagle will break its wings, and the sword will rust.
The heroes of Demacia will also die of old age one day.
He just regretted it.
It's a pity that I haven't been able to marry that woman before I die.
He remembered what seemed to be the same night, when he galloped across the endless wilderness with the woman who had been an enemy country.
It was very windy that night, and she suddenly said that it was cold, so she hugged her tightly.
"I'm going to marry you." He just held her and proposed in the endless darkness and wind. "In this life, definitely."
"It depends on how long you live." She replied stubbornly.
It was originally an unintentional sentence, but now it is a prophecy.
Katerina.
You mother-in-law.
I miss you so much.
Galen took another sip of wine.
The wine has bottomed out.
His consciousness was also vaguely at the end.
He just leaned on his horse and made the most unconscious advance, and he sang again: "I...... Dearest girl, if the leaves of the coming year are yellow, I will not return...... You're beside you...... Please. Don't be in a hurry...... I...... I ......"
"I'm on my way home, I'm on my way home."
The snowy night was silent, and Galen was going home.
Go back to the place with the turquoise sea.
There, there will be beautiful flowers.
Right.
I'm going to...... Pick a flower, pick a flower, and bring it to my girl.
A flower.
Galen didn't know where the strength came from, he straightened up his body with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, stretched out his hand, and stretched out into the endless night.
He stubbornly wanted to pick a flower.
A beautiful flower.
He stubbornly stretched out his hand and rode his horse and ran and ran.
Run until it's almost dawn. I finally touched a flower.
A flower destined for it.
He picked the flower, and the strength of his whole body finally disappeared.
He fell from his horse and fell heavily to the ground.
He has finally come to the end of his destiny.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a black-robed man standing in front of him.
The man put a hand to his forehead.
Is it the Grim Reaper?
Galen felt his last life force passing, but he didn't care, he just grabbed the flower in his hand very hard and hard.
It's like grabbing his whole life.
Katerina, and ...... The whole world.
See you again.
He opened his eyelids and glanced at the world world for the last time.
It's dawn.
——————————————
It's dawn.
The snow stopped.
The fire, which had burned all night, was also extinguished.
Chen Senran sat in the ashes on the ground with Anne in his arms. Looking at the entire ruined city, he was silent.
The war is over.
In just one night, the originally vigorous people from all sides were wiped out.
The impregnable fortress that had been firmly standing at the mouth of that canyon crumbled.
This is a land that was originally grabbed by countless people. At this moment, the living stopped.
The corpses were all over the ground, the ruins were all over the ground, and the eyes were full of despair that could not be seen.
"Let's go." Evelyn, who rescued little Anne at the last moment, shook the ice and snow on her clothes and said to Chen Senran.
"Okay." Chen Senran nodded, hugged Anne and slowly got up, the little girl was already asleep. After so many days of frightening, she was already too tired to do it, so Chen Senran was very careful.
But he overestimated his body's capacity, and last night's horrific exertion caused him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
Thankfully, Evelyn intervened in time to save him.
"Do you want me to help you go?" Evelyn held him up. Asked.
"Not necessarily." Chen Senran shook his head and got out of her hand, "By the way, last night, thank you." ”
"Forget it." Evelyn shook her head, not knowing what she had done, "It's nothing. ”
"No, I'll help you find him, definitely." Chen Senran shook his head, he didn't like to owe anything to others.
If she used to use Evelyn purely to find her, now he will definitely help her find Trist.
Till death rests.
"If you don't talk about this, what are you going to do now?" Evelyn still shook her head, and she changed the subject and began to talk about what was in front of her.
The meaning of her words is obvious, now that both the Demacians and everyone else are dead, Chen Senran's layout this time can be said to be a complete failure.
"I don't know the way, take one step at a time." Chen Senran gasped slightly, and took a tentative step, "Actually, I almost killed Burnham, if I did, I wouldn't have to do so much." ”
He took a step, and his whole body began to fall apart again.
His physical condition was really terrible, his whole body seemed to be evacuated, and he couldn't exert any strength.
It's good that he didn't die.
He comforted himself and took the second step.
At that moment, the snow next to him suddenly began to make a rustling sound.
I saw that the place that had been flooded with snow suddenly cracked.
A long, rough and savage knife was cracked.
The next moment, Taidamir's brave face appeared in Chen Senran's eyes.
"Chen Senran?" Taidamir seemed to have just woken up, and he looked at Chen Senran with some uncertainty, or rather asked not very kindly.
"It's me." Chen Senran nodded, and he stopped.
He felt some change in the atmosphere.
There is a murderous aura in Tedamir.
"Was it you last night?" As he spoke, he slowly stroked his long knife.
"It was me last night." Chen Senran nodded, "You want to kill me?" ”
"Bang-" Another crack of snow rang out.
A peerless ice bow was cracked.
Ash.
She looked at Chen Senran and put her hand on the bow as well.
"You're going to kill me too?" Chen Senran's tone did not change at all, and he turned his head and asked Ash calmly.
No one answered.
The cold wind howls in the morning.
Ash and Tedamir looked at each other.
"Where's Galen?" They asked almost at the same time.
"I don't know what to do." Chen Senran shook his head.
"Look for him first." They put away their weapons at the same time.
More cracking snow sounded all around. (To be continued......)
PS: Galen is dead.
I'm very satisfied with this chapter.
