Verse 560: Walking with You (2)
After opening his eyes and looking at the ceiling for a moment, Marin remembered that he had come down from the battlefield.
Today is the second day back in Copenhagen, and his achievements are currently in a state of publicity all over the world, and the main priest of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest has shaken the divine light of the Lord of Justice on the battlefield, directly purifying a Chaos demon that has broken through the defense line, which sounds like a fantasy.
But at the mention of the priest's name, everyone could only smile - you see, that's what everyone thinks, Marin Gayat, the hero of the fight against Chaos.
Turning his head to look at Lulu, who was looking at him, Marin sighed.
"Marlin, my dear, why are you sighing?" The girl asked curiously.
"It's really tiring to be a hero." Marin looked at the ceiling and sighed.
"Didn't you have a good time yesterday when you gave a presentation in the square, and when you attended the drinking party last night, didn't you talk to those young people?" Lulu argued.
"I was here to win, but I was actually a very lazy person, and I just wanted to make some money and mix up some royalties when I started writing, and then simply live my life." With that, Marin got up and began to dress under Lulu's gaze.
"You, while saying that you are lazy, where are you going?" Lulu was a little confused.
"Go and send a child, the same child I told you last time who wants to meet the big hero." Marin said this, and at the same time sighed a little, fate is so ruthless, that child is said to have a cursed fate, no matter how the church treats her, it will be useless.
She is buried today, and Marin is going to send her off, for the sake of this child who sees him as a hero, and for himself.
I don't know why, Marin always felt that this child was familiar.
No, not who she looked like, but her tone, her eyes, were like someone Marin knew.
But Marlin couldn't remember who it was, and he couldn't remember who it was, who it could be?
Marin asked himself more than once, but there was never an answer, it must be the person Marin knew best, but Marin couldn't remember who it was...... Why.
"I'll go with you."
"There's no need, you have a good rest."
Rejecting Lulu's following, Marlin just wanted to be alone for a while.
"Alright then, be careful on the road." With that, Lulu stretched out an arm and waved.
Marin smiled and nodded, put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom.
Opening a teleportation passage in the hallway, Marin plunged headlong into it.
In the next second, Marin, who came out of the teleportation node, threw a gold mage coin to the little mage guarding the door, and the currency issued by the ancient mage tower had a stronger weight than paper money.
Walking out of the gate, Marin looked at Fort Carter in the wind and snow, and sighed towards the large cemetery that the Church had built on the outskirts.
The cemeteries before Fort Carter were too small, so the churches decided to build large cemeteries in the foothills east of the city, where the child's funeral is located today.
Along the way, Marin greeted several old police officers, then walked out of the city gate and walked along the newly repaired mountain road to the cemetery, on the way, Marin saw a snow leopard.
"Madame, come." Marin asked with a smile on his face.
The snow leopard stood up, and she paced to Marlin's side, rubbed Marin's trouser leg, and followed Marin all the way.
Marlin was a little curious, he didn't know why Lady Spotted was waiting for him here, but since he had come across it, he didn't mind feeding it with jerky.
The lady happily ate the jerky, and as she followed Marin into the cemetery, she slowed down and followed Marin at her side.
Marin saw Colin, and his brother looked at the tomb at his feet, until his assistant saw Marin approaching, and he whispered a reminder to Colin, so Colin looked up at his brother.
"Why are you here?"
"Here's a ride for this kid."
Marin came to the tomb, looked at the coffin that had been lowered, and finally, together with Colin, covered the poor girl with earth.
"May the Goddess be able to make her happy in her next life." After Colin finished speaking, there were assistants who reshaped the dirt and turned it into stone.
Fio came up to Marin at this moment, and he handed out a small flower.
Eventually, Marin placed the flower on the tombstone, which bears the child's name.
Susu Tasker.
The epitaph reads - I have bloomed in my short life, what about you.
Marin pursed his lips and finally stroked the little female sacred emblem at the top of the tombstone.
Good night, child, one day, the day we will all be asleep.
Colin hugged Marin, and after asking about the battle, Marin's master left with his assistants, he was very busy, and Marin understood.
After seeing them leave, Marlin looked at the tombstone in front of him and saw Lady Spotted lying on the slate, whimpering as if she were sad.
Marin thought about it, and simply sat down on the ground and stroked Mrs. Spotted's head.
As the wind and snow get stronger, Lady Spotted finally stands up and walks towards the exit of the cemetery.
"Ma'am, will we see you again?" Marin asked in the midst of the ghost's mission.
Mrs. Spotted turned around and nodded.
Yes, Marlin, my master.
Marin was surprised at first, then laughed, "You've become a legend, ma'am, and you've awakened your psionic powers. ”
Yes, my master, goodbye, you can come and see off Miss Susu, she will be very happy.
After Mrs. Spotted finished speaking, she walked into the snow without looking back.
Marin stood up and eventually chose to leave as well, and he chose another way out of the cemetery.
Even a spirit like Madame Spotted, who is only believed in by a few country folks, can become a legend and ignite the fire of psionic energy, this world is indeed becoming more and more dangerous, and subspace is getting closer and closer to this world.
What are we going to do, what can we do, Marin felt for the first time the flaws of being a mortal.
Can you only become a god to save the world?
Marin didn't know that the world had become too strange for him.
………………
Watching a man and a beast disappear into the wind and snow, an ordinary-looking young man appeared in the place where they had just sit, holding a small box with many cracks in it, but the snacks inside were as new as new, and the power from the gods reversed its time.
He placed the snack box on the stone slab.
"I'm sorry, Susu, this is the last box of glutinous rice dim sum I can find." Anonymous said this, and in silence he watched the box of dim sum fade away, and he sighed.
"You made a vow that the scales of fate could not be balanced, you invested in your life, your future, and even all your possible heirs, but still could not be balanced, and at the last moment, you said that you would be nameless, so the world forgot you, no one remembered your sacrifice and dedication, and even the young man was changed under the influence of the rules...... You're cruel, Miss Fate. ”
"This is fate, I never mind if someone can break fate, because the person who breaks fate has unconsciously had a new fate, and everyone can't be alone, nameless, you are really good to me as a mortal." The skinny girl standing next to Anonymous smiled, holding the last snack in her hand and eating happily.
"I thought you would sacrifice yourself, but I didn't expect you to choose you on the planet beneath my feet...... Miss Fate, Marlin, you pulled it from that time, right? As Anonymous spoke, his eyes were staring directly at the epitaph on the tombstone: "The epitaph you wrote for yourself is pretty good." ”
"Yes, I want to see how much he will dedicate himself to this world with the same feelings as me." The little girl swallowed the last snack, smiled and nodded: "When I was a mortal, I was such a girl who liked to smile, and I once thought about how I would leave the world in the end, and at that time I would think that it would be nice if he could accompany me......"
Speaking of this, the girl sighed.
"Subspace is getting closer and closer to this world, maybe this tide, maybe next time, our world will be completely exposed in front of the subspace, and the coordinates of this planet will be eternally calibrated, and the time will be ...... I may not be able to complete my engagement with Susu. ”
"It's nothing, Anonymous, I know, you've done your best, all my efforts as mortals are in vain in the end, the flame of civilization will eventually be extinguished, and I may be transformed into an evil god." The girl said, looking at the tombstone in front of her.
"Why give up, have you forgotten the agreement that Marin's father made with you." Anonymous asked.
To this question, the girl smiled and shook her head.
"He failed, he was distorted, and he ended up choosing to throw himself into a star 1.5 billion kilometers away from us in order not to reveal the coordinates of his homeland in his head...... We're going to fail, and what happens in the world is even more cruel, and I don't even have a chance to become an evil god......"
"No, this world will not be like this, Marin's father chose another path, and you also chose another path, and under such guidance, Marin came...... He will not accept defeat. Anonymous said, looking at the tombstone.
“…… Admit defeat, Anonymous, I will guard this civilization until the last moment, and you, you can get out of here, you have your world. After the girl finished speaking, she squatted down, she stroked the tombstone: "I actually envy me as a mortal, she doesn't know that her efforts will eventually fail, she is obsessed with her sacrifice, she doesn't even have the courage to say goodbye to Marin, she naively thinks that she is keeping her oath, it has long been meaningless, this world will eventually be destroyed, this is fate, the fate I practice." ”
Anonymous shook his head at this, and his form dispersed with the wind.
His Miss Fate stroked the tombstone until the wind and snow blew her away.
