018 Give Hope

"So, the justice you see in front of you is your insistence?"

As he spoke, the Ancient One snatched the boy's soul from Bourkeso's hand and put him back into the shattered body.

Bourkeso removed the vial from his waist, crouched down his massive body, and poured the liquor-flavored potion into the child's mouth.

"It's just that I can't get used to those disgusting beings."

Bourkeso's voice was firm, and his eyes were fixed on the poor child.

With a series of violent coughs, the child woke up.

But he just stared blankly at Bourkeso's majestic face, and said nothing, as if thinking of something.

"Kid, can you forget what you saw before?"

The Ancient One mage reached out and stroked the child's head.

She knew that the child's soul was seen from the moment the body died, all the way to the resurrection.

I saw a battle that was even more outrageous than myths and legends.

Although no matter how this child tells those magical stories to others in the future, Gu Yi believes that no one will believe a child's jokes.

Or that those "ordinary people" prefer to believe that the child is insane under the threat of death, and fictionalize the story.

Gu Yi felt that it would be better to get a guarantee from the child.

……

Death returned to his palace, sitting on her seat.

Everywhere you look, there are corpses and ghosts.

This is the land of the dead, and the souls of all who have died will arrive at this place.

It's just that death at this time stretched out her right hand, and the palm on it was already intact.

For the lady of death, giving life to death actually represents her love for this life.

Death is an alternative to eternity, and you don't have to endure the pain of hunger, disease, etc., and you don't have to worry about the passage of life. Even time has lost its meaning in this kingdom of the dead.

Only the dead can accompany her forever, in this country where there are only the dead.

Before, the moment Bourkeso urged all her strength, she felt a force that could only belong to death appear there.

She was curious about the source of this power, because only when she loved someone to the point that she could not extricate herself, she would give death the company in advance.

But she didn't remember at all that she had developed such a strong love in her long existence.

"Deserve to live! This guy deserves to live forever! I definitely don't want to see this guy again! ”

Death sat in his seat, scurrying like a human being cursing others for dying.

For her, the best way to hate someone is to let that person live forever.

Whether suffering from an incurable injury or a painful disease, death is the gentlest relief.

But those who are disgusted by death will only wail forever in the bitter abyss of wounds and diseases!

Death looked at the new palm, and it seemed that he could still feel the pain of the broken wound like a flame!

"And the mage who will live forever! How would I have been hurt if it weren't for her! ”

Death silently made a mark on the ancient one.

As for the power of death that she couldn't trace back to its source, she also forgot about it.

……

"King of the Barbarians......"

Gu Yi looked at Bourkeso, who was a little depressed in front of him, and hesitated for a long time but still didn't call out his name.

"You'd better call me Bourkeso."

Bourkeso looked at the little boy who was jumping up and down in his blacksmith shop, a little dull.

It's not because he has an extra child, but he likes to play with these energetic children when he's in the shelter.

He was depressed because the kid was so sensible.

The face that squeezed out a smile was like Leah's after losing Kane.

In order to bury the sadness, choose to smile in the midst of the grief.

Having lost everything, he could only cling to the only person he could rely on.

The difference is that when Leah lost Kane, Tyrell was by her side, and the child no longer had anyone to rely on.

His father, who would be a nightmare for his enemies, was probably still struggling to lose.

But this child, I'm afraid he doesn't have the time and courage to get any closer.

The kind of restrained grief that does not hesitate to suppress all the sorrow in his heart has been seen more than once by Bourkeso.

After Leah became the vessel for the rebirth of the Great Demon God, Komak was like this.

"I'm going to deal with this kid and make him 'disappear' from the sight of others. As long as you are willing to adopt him. ”

Gu Yi looked at the child who was dragging the hammer hard, but pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation, and spoke slowly.

"Ancient One, don't put on that guardian posture when you're here, I'm well aware of the fact that no one can save everything, but what you're doing is more like an escape."

Gu Yi nodded when she heard this, she already understood this truth.

But now that she's mastered the power of the Time Stone, she's chosen more to stay stable and keep everything moving toward the outcome she wanted.

So she chose "sacrifice" and used it as a reason to turn a blind eye to those tragedies.

Fortunately, he didn't need to do this now, because this time the river of time had been kicked up by a huge stone and no one could see it clearly.

"Bourkeso, so we're still friends now?"

After Gu Yi let go of some things, he relaxed a lot. Even the indifference that had always been maintained was broken by the sudden resurgence of emotion.

"Yes, as long as you don't mention that you're a mage, we're friends."

Bourkeso opened the wine that the Ancient One had sent and poured it into his mouth.

"Seriously, I think your way of fighting is more like a barbarian, do you want to go with me to the Holy Mountain and see if you can get the approval of your ancestors?"

Bourkeso's majestic eyes looked at the Ancient One.

When the child on the side heard this, his eyes seemed to be full of life.

"If you wish."

Gu Yi nodded and glanced thoughtfully at the child.

"If you have an apprentice who is not very obedient, you can also give it to me."

Bourkeso was a little happy.

Because he saw an opportunity for the barbarians to take root in this world.

Compared to choosing seedlings from those ordinary people, those weak mages who have some ability are more likely to be recognized by the ancestors.

"Those guys, let them choose their own path."

Koichi shook his head with a smile, and suddenly remembered the figure of Casillas in his mind.

"The growth of barbarians is quite strict! This also means that they will all become strong! ”

Bourkeso's words were addressed to the child who was eavesdropping over there, and he wanted to give that child a goal, a goal to live.

He'd seen so much despair, and Bourkeso wanted to give hope to those desperate people in this world.

Just like Tyrell did back then.
