Blake sat quietly alone at the table in the back room.

Several of the Warlords did not dare to approach him.

I'm not afraid that you will cry, I am not afraid that you will make trouble, I am afraid that you will not speak.

Blake didn't cry, nor did he vent by throwing things or anything like that.

He just sat quietly by himself, without making any sound.

"We ...... Why don't you go and comfort yourself? The muse cautiously poked Rey.

"With what we know about Black...... Comfort is even worse......" Rey sighed a little sadly.

"Unless you can get to his heart, it will only make him sadder." Cassius bowed his head slightly, as if he was more uncomfortable than Blake.

After guessing the punch, it was decided that Cassius would take the lead.

"Blake...... What can I vent about...... The words that piled up in his heart......" Cassius opened cautiously.

Blake half-bowed his head and did not speak.

"We all understand your feelings...... It's better not to keep it in your heart, what do you think......"

Blake didn't say anything.

"Hmm...... Blake, you may not have a brother, but you still have a brother—me, don't you? ”

Blake seemed to look at him—just like, still not speaking.

Cassius felt like an opportunity, "Blake, big brother Brian...... I won't want to see you like this, you...... You should try to get yourself out of the negativity......"

"You have not lost, how can you understand the pain of loss."

Cassius said a lot of things that seemed to be in vain, and he was dumbfounded by this simple sentence.

That's when Gaia – who lost the punch – walked in.

Then Cassius shook his head helplessly and walked away.

"Blake, you're not like that in my heart, a little setback knocked you down? You're only in your twenties, you're still young, you're still on your way, and it's not good for you or for us to be negative like this, what do you think? ”

“…… You don't have to worry about it. ”

"Blake! Why not try to be strong? ”

"In this day and age...... Is it useful to be strong? I've been strong for a long time. Nothing was gained. ”

"No! You see, you've got us - a bunch of good comrades. You've got the trust of the Rift Sky, haven't you? ”

"Huh."

Gaia felt slighted, and he knocked on the table, "Blake! You call this cowardice! ”

A mocking smile tugged at the corners of Blake's mouth, "Leave." ”

“……”

Cassius has a soft mouth, Gaia has a hard mouth.

However, Blake does not eat soft nor hard.

However, it was the turn of Team Ray.

He approached cautiously, moving softer than the other two. Then he pulled out a chair next to him and sat down, tentatively looking at Blake's face, "Hey...... Black! …… I understand your feelings...... I think of my brother, Lei Gong...... He really, really loved me, and I was ...... I can't accept this fact either......"

Blake didn't speak.

"Don't do that, Blake...... Do you think your brother would be happy to see you in this state? If you are blindly depressed, nothing can be changed! Think of the galaxies, the elven races, and the rampant Black Souls! Only by destroying them can you get revenge, isn't it?! ”

“…… We all know a lot of truths, but we still can't live this life. ”

“…… How to live this life well is in your hands. Think about many powerful elves, they understand the truth no less than us, but there are still some because of a thought, they strayed into the evil way, became enemies of all things, and finally ignited the fire**. If you don't believe in yourself, then what is there to say?! There are some things that should be thought of in the best and not always fall into sadness. Rey patted Blake on the shoulder.

Blake pushed Rey's hand away, "Such a dark time...... Can we change...... You say think better...... I think it's a sin to live, and it's a relief for Burke to die. ”

A faint smile hung on Rey's face, "You didn't try your best and jump to conclusions?" This is not what I think of you. If it had been before, you would have been the enemy of fate. Hey, now the whole universe needs us, what, want to escape? There was a hint of provocation in Rey's tone.

The corners of Blake's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc - he didn't eat the agitation, "It's useless to say anything." The universe needs you, not me. - Let me be quiet. ”

Rey groaned slightly, looking at him with a complicated expression, "Hmm...... Okay, sometimes it's good to vent in your own way. But...... I still hope you cheer up soon. Rey stood up, looked at him again with some sadness—failed to match his eyes—and got up and left.

Everyone immediately looked nervously at Team Thunder - and then disappointed.

And finally, the muse.

"You don't need to say anything more."

The muse didn't say anything, but generously pulled out a chair and sat down across from Blake, took a crudely made kettle, poured some unknown liquid into two small cups that were also crudely made, and pushed one to Blake.

"Darkling's favorite drink, Lelan." The muse pursed her lips, "Do you want to have some?" ”

Blake looked indifferent.

"If you don't drink, I'll drink." The muse drank it all and poured himself another glass, "I don't want to comfort you with anything. I'm the last one to join the War Alliance, and I don't know you, and besides, I've been under house arrest in Sky Snake for more than ten years, and I don't know how to communicate with others. I'll talk to you casually. ”

Indifference written in a capital letter on Blake's face.

"Burke's behavior is something that many of his brothers would have. A kind of family love that comes from innocence and innocence. Because his memory was stuck twenty years ago, he was just a little older than Cassius. When I was a child, my second brother and I made mistakes, and it was always the eldest brother who was punished for us. Although it is not about sacrificing our lives to save each other, it is also very touching to us. Later......"

Speaking of this, the muse choked up and swallowed the glass of wine with shaking hands, "Later, he disappeared, and the second brother disappeared, leaving me alone...... Guarding the lonely serpent...... (pour the wine again)"

Blake frowned slightly, and he took a sip of the small cup, which felt stone, but was full of leaves inside and out.

There is no taste.

The muse gently wiped away her tears, "It's rude to watch a lady move her cup and not move herself in the Kahlan system. You tell me? ”

Blake looked at Muse with a solemn expression.

Eventually, he swallowed it in one gulp.

There is a word for music in the name of Lelan, but the taste is not very pleasant.

Bitter, with a faint sour taste, to the throat is astringent.

Lelan wine is not the same as the wine on earth - it doesn't have a sparkling feeling, it doesn't even count as a soda, but it's made, so the elves call it wine.

"It's the first time I drank it, it didn't taste good, did it?" Muse smiled wryly, took another drink, and then filled it again for Blake and herself, "Lelan has a sorrow-dissipating effect. You'll understand if you drink a little more. ”

Blake looked at the small cup in his hand and didn't speak.

"The elves come to this chaotic world and form a cycle of reincarnation, one after another, whether it is good or evil, strong or weak, but the goal is very simple - to be happy for themselves. But the nature of this happiness is different, some spirits are great, and some are hateful. ”

Blake frowned slightly.

"Why do you look sad? If you hurt others, you hurt yourself. Muse shook the cup in his hand slightly, and didn't even look at Blake as he spoke.

Blake took another drink, this time as if it tasted a little sweet, but it was still bitter and astringent, just like his mood now.

Muse poured him another glass, "Why don't you try to make yourself happier?" How to be happy, how to live, how to be happy, how to live. That's it. After all, you're only in your twenties now, but you're just an older kid, so pretending to be mature will only make you look old. ”

(The muse seems to reveal something)

Blake swallowed again, somehow he liked the bitter taste a little, and agreed a little with the muse's words, and a little ...... Sentimental about their own unfair fate.

The muse was full again, then looked at Blake, "Touch a glass?" ”

Blake looked at her with some confusion.

The muse smiled, raised the cup in his hand, slammed it with Blake, and drank it down.

Blake followed her example—a courtesy of the Kahlan system?

"Fate is actually fair, some elves are strong, some elves are weak; With great power comes great responsibility, so the strong don't have to be complacent, and the weak don't have to hang their heads. And some elves use this ability to do something...... Inhumane things, but in the end they will still be punished by fate. The muse touched a glass with him again, "A long time ago, I no longer complained about why there are always too many regrets in life, and I no longer lamented that at the end of my life, I always smoke lightly. After all, not everyone has the ability to live in this dark age, and for some people, death is relief. ”

This time, Blake took the initiative to touch a glass with Muse, and the emotions in his eyes seemed to be enriched.

The muse didn't react much, "Let's not be afraid to walk in the night." 'M afraid...... There is no sunshine in the heart. ”

"We all know a lot of truth, but we never use it for ourselves."

"yes, how sad it is." The muse swallowed another glass, "The heart is so big, just put the worthy people and worthy things into it." Some people, walking and walking, scattered...... Others ...... Scattered and scattered and gathered at the intersection again. As long as it is not a parallel line, there will always be a day when they intersect. Not all partings will be forgotten, and some will make people miss more and more. ”

Blake's blue eyes seemed to be clouded with moisture.

The muse didn't react, "You've always been a terrifyingly strong elf in my heart. As the saying goes, you have to withstand the pain of breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly in order to bear the beauty of spreading your wings and flying high. But after you endured the pain, you were crushed by the pain and did not fly. But because of excessive strength, you disguise yourself with indifference. This feeling will make you ...... Feeling lonely, right? ”

"I have nothing to be lonely, (drink up) my soul has my own bustle."

"Well, fate is always tormenting, if you didn't know it at the beginning, how could you be so troubled by gains and losses."

Blake frowned slightly.

"Blake, hopefully...... You can cheer yourself up as soon as possible. The muse smiled and snapped his fingers.

Blake looked at her with some confusion, then a dizziness rushed over his head, and he didn't know anything in front of him.

"Asleep." The Muse pointed to the door, "Get him to bed, lie on the table and get cold." ”

Rey nodded, and cautiously went inside.

Blake was lying on the table.

Rey first ran his hand through his hair, reached the back of his neck, sighed softly, put down his upper body, then turned around, crossed the two popliteals with the other arm, and picked him up in the form of a princess hug, then turned around and put him on the bed, placed his arms, and pulled a layer of quilt.

Rey looked at his sleeping frowning brow and sighed, brushing the hair from his face.
