Section 68 Farewell and departure
Imperial capital.
Watching the oppressive huge airship gradually leave, many people really realized that their power was so small for the first time in their lives.
Bronsos is one of them.
As a powerhouse who had already stood at the pinnacle of the human race, he had never seen anything stronger than him except for McCarthy. Bronsos, who had lived in seclusion for a long time, suddenly felt that he was the frog at the bottom of the well when he saw the behemoth in the sky.
Such a powerful war machine can easily take out a quasi-legend, so powerful that people can't afford to fight back. But even so, the Holy Light Church, with its absolute force, retreated, and even left a huge fortune for those worthless refugees.
This kind of thing made Bronsos a little confused about what the church was thinking.
Palace.
The God of War Emperor Old Pound also had a gloomy face, and after watching the behemoth slowly disappear into the sky, he clenched his fists and slammed it on the table hard, clenching his teeth and unable to say a word.
"Father's ......"
"Failed." Old Pound finally calmed down, looked at little Pound expressionlessly, and suddenly said, "You go out first, I have something to talk to the housekeeper." ”
"Huh? I'm out? Little Pound was stunned.
"Young master, just for a while, I promise." The old housekeeper, who has always maintained humility, is a little unkind at this time.
“…… Good. Little Pound frowned, as if he suddenly understood something, turned around and walked out of the room without saying a word, and closed the door with him.
"What a clever little fellow." The old butler praised.
"I guess the next aid will be in vain, right?"
"Of course."
Old Pound put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly: "But since you didn't say goodbye without saying goodbye, it means that there is still room for redemption." Say, don't go around in circles. ”
"Of course, Your Majesty the Emperor." The old butler said respectfully as usual.
"I'm listening."
"The Lost City of Gold, where the Prophet was last seen."
"What's that?"
The old butler ignored His Majesty the Emperor's words, and continued to take care of himself: "We have sufficient evidence to prove that the Holy Maiden Angel has learned the specific news of the ruins of the Golden City, so I hope that you can mobilize the remnants of the empire's intelligence capabilities to keep an eye on Angel's itinerary." ”
"But they're all flying there......"
"I'll tell you when she gets off the boat." The old butler interrupted, and although he was still respectful on the surface, old Pound could see that he was ordering.
Old Pound looked at the old butler vigorously until he remembered every detail of his face, then he lowered his head and whispered, "...... Good. ”
……
At this time, the airship was sailing on the territory of the former Mogot Empire.
From time to time, a farmer in the field raised his head and made a fuss by pointing at the behemoth that slowly crossed the horizon.
In a corridor in the forbidden area on the airship, the old emperor of the Mogot Empire held the duchess, stood by the floor-to-ceiling porthole, leaning on the railing and quietly looking at the scenery outside.
Chen Yin, who was carrying a large bag and a small wrap, passed through the corridor and happened to see a scene.
“……”
Looking at the backs of the two of them, and thinking about the countless people who died in vain because of this person's selfishness, Chen Yin sighed for those who could not control their own fate, shook his head and prepared to move on.
"Do you want to say something? Just say what you want, I don't mind. Old Mogote turned around, took the duchess's right hand with his left hand, and held the porthole handrail with his right hand, and the whole person was indescribably free.
"It's just that you don't think you're used to being an emperor anymore?" Chen Yin said perfunctorily.
"What's not used to."
Chen Yin shrugged: "The gap in my heart? ”
"There are still some, but it's not a bad thing that you don't have to take on so much responsibility."
"Responsibility?" Chen Yin raised his eyebrows.
"For example, to take all the people to die in battle, such as exchanging my life for the continuation of the bloodline, and for example, the country that is defended will still be handed over to others in the end." Old Mogot's eyes had a hint of vicissitudes.
"With all the people to the death...... What do you mean? Chen Yin looked puzzled.
That's what it means literally. The meaning of the existence of all of us is to die in battle. Old Mogot said calmly.
"Your Majesty......" Duchess Aishara tugged at Old Mogot's hand.
"It's okay." Old Mogot smiled, "Since His Majesty McCarthy thinks so highly of him, he will know sooner or later." ”
"But it's not your turn." Suddenly, a cold voice came from the side.
Chen Yin felt that the voice was very familiar when he heard it, and when he looked back, he realized that it was really her.
In Chen Yin's impression, the silver-haired girl wearing a plain white dress changed into a gorgeous gold and white one-piece dress at this time, wearing a golden crown, with a cold expression and condescending gaze, showing her mystery and nobility.
Several young, handsome men dressed in plain clothes stood beside her, with a flattering smile on their faces.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Holy Maiden, several highnesses, allow me to retire first." Old Mogote bowed slightly, smiled slightly, put his arms around the Duchess's Salad's waist, and bowed back.
"You ......" Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he said a word, Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden was like a gust of wind, gently blowing beside Chen Yin......
Several beautiful men known as "His Highness" looked at Chen Yin curiously, smiled at him friendly, and walked behind the saint.
Looking at their backs, Chen Yin's heart suddenly overflowed with sourness.
"Hehe, it's so familiar to ignore it...... Is this a placement paly? Chen Yin shook his head self-deprecatingly and whispered to himself.
"Ha, what am I thinking, Daddy is just joking, it's really all fools, fools, ha. Haha, hahaha......"
Touching the back of his head with a dry smile, Chen Yin collected his thoughts, picked up his backpack and continued to walk forward.
After going down the stairs and turning a corner, I finally came to their room.
As soon as the door opened, Uncle Tim and Aunt Gia, dressed in military uniforms, were leaning on the edge of the bed and chatting with Gianna. And little Susan was huddled at the foot of the bed by herself, hugging her knees and looking at the ceiling.
After being teased by her father, little Susan kept avoiding Chen Yin, and seeing that the little guy was actually here, this made Chen Yin's frustrated mood immediately feel a lot better.
"Hey! The church is really generous, this pack is a soul stone, this pack is a universal magic card, and there are healing cards and supplies...... You can get it until you can't move it! It's a pity they won't let me take someone with me, otherwise ......"
"You don't have to move an inch, if it weren't for McCarthy's special approval, you might not be able to wear this equipment back!" Aunt Ji Ya was obviously well aware of the value of Chen Yin's armor.
Speaking of which, this light armor didn't look amazing, and the dust was not conspicuous at all, but Chen Yin was stunned by its attributes when he first saw it. Not only does it provide 4 defenses, but it even comes with a skill of its own.
"Skill: Sturdy Cold Armor."
"Effect: Take up to 1 damage at a time for 2 minutes."
As long as it is used reasonably, this armor is simply a life-saving artifact!
"Hey, hey, hey...... It's a bit of a bargain. Chen Yin scratched his head and smiled, "By the way, how are you preparing?" ”
"It's all done." Uncle Tim said, "There are still 15 minutes to stop, and then we will disembark with those who don't want to go to the City of Light together." ”
"Oh, what about little Susan? Is it decided? ”
After hearing Chen Yin's question, little Susan suddenly burst into tears, jumped off the bed violently, and hung directly on Chen Yin's neck.
"Woo...... I don't want to go to the City of Light, I want to be with you! Woo woo......" Little Susan shouted with tears in her eyes, and the tears that burst the embankment wet a large chunk of Chen Yin's chest.
"Cry as much as you want, but when you're done crying, don't embarrass your mother." Chen Yin patted her on the back and whispered.
"I don't! I don't! I'm going to go with you......"
Chen Yin looked at Gianna, who had turned black, smiled wryly and waved his hand, rubbed little Susan's head, and put her on the ground.
"Do you remember the first time we met?"
"Hmm." Little Susan nodded vigorously.
"You're picking fruit for your mother, aren't you?"
"Hmm......" little Susan's eyes were a little hesitant.
"Think about it, how much Aunt Gianna has paid for you, can you really give up this feeling?"
Little Susan turned her head and looked at the white hair on her mother's sideburns in a daze, and the tears gradually stopped.
"But, ......but," little Susan hesitated, "then, can you not go, Your Excellency, let's go to the City of Light together, and we will continue to the seminary, I ......"
"No, no." Chen Yin rubbed the little guy's head into a bird's nest, stood up with a smile, and looked into the distance for a long time without saying a word.
"Your Excellency?" Little Susan said timidly.
"Sorry, distracted." Chen Yin put away the remembrance on his face, "You are all your mother, and I am also all my family!" I've been here for so long, I can't even imagine how sad they must have been when they lost me. ”
"My mother's heart is not very good, my father's kidney is also a problem, and he still owes a lot of debt for me to go to school...... So, I have to go back. Chen Yin squatted down again, grabbed her shoulders and looked directly into the little girl's eyes, "You are a good boy who is responsible, right?" Will you take good care of your mother? ”
“…… Well! Susan nodded vigorously.
"That's good, you have your responsibility, and I have mine. There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and I will not disappear tomorrow, the coming day will be long, and when I finish this expedition, I will go to the City of Light to find you, okay? ”
"Good!"
"So, retractor?"
"Pull the hook!"
Chen Yin's little finger hooked up with little Susan's delicate little hand.
"It's a deal."
"Hmmm! Be sure to come! Little Susan's tears began to flow back down.
"Don't cry, don't cry, come and taste what this is." Chen Yin took out a small jar and put something in little Susan's mouth everywhere.
"Sweet!" Little Susan was overjoyed, with tears on her face, and the corners of her eyes were already crooked.
"It's called peanut stickiness, it's made for me by my mother, and every time I'm unhappy, I feel good when I eat it...... Now for you. Chen Yin stuffed the small jar into little Susan's hand.
"But you ......" the snack seller hesitated a little.
"There are some things that I still feel sad to think about, but I don't need them anymore. After going through so much, I have come to understand a truth, that is, remembrance is useless, and doing it in a down-to-earth manner is the right way. ”
Chen Yin's smile was a little vicissitudes, he lowered his head and looked at his hands, as if countless sticky blood was sticking to it between the opening and closing, and it couldn't be shaken off or washed off......
"I don't know if my mother can recognize me when she sees it now."
Chen Yin was sighing, and suddenly a female voice sounded:
"Please note, please note that there are still 2 minutes before landing, and students who are about to leave should pack their bags and meet at the back door of the bottom cabin. Repeat......"
"Alright, it's time. We're going too. Chen Yin finally took the little Susan around and put her on the ground and patted the little girl's head, "Then goodbye." ”
"Goodbye ......"
When Chen Yin and his uncle and aunt walked to the end of the corridor, little Susan suddenly broke free of Gianna's hand, jumped onto Chen Yin's backpack, put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "You must come to see me!" ”
After speaking, he kissed Chen Yin lightly on the cheek, and without waiting for Chen Yin to answer, he ran behind Gianna with a blushing face and hid.
"This little guy ......" Chen Yin shook his head and smiled as he touched the place where he was kissed, waved his hand to Gianna again, turned around and disappeared into the corner.
"Mom, did you think Your Excellency would really come to see me?" Little Susan looked melancholy.
"Yes, as long as you study hard and be a person like Sister Angel, he will come to see you on a little donkey." Gianna reassured.
"Hmmm......"
……
The airship landed, the rear hatch slowly opened, Chen Yin and his party led the mount and followed the crowd to slowly get off the airship, and then the back door of the airship closed, and after making sure that there was no one around, the dark blue soul force field was activated again, slowly rising, and flying into the distance......
"Whew...... Let's go. "Chen Yin is like a loss.
"Can't bear the Holy Maiden? Still reluctant little Susan? Aunt Jiya quipped.
Chen Yin glanced at the gossipy old woman lightly, and didn't bother to answer her.
"Little donkey, I haven't seen you for a few days, this guy is fat again? Did you steal a lot of corpses to eat? Chen Yin asked, tugging on the reins of the little donkey.
"Boom?" The little donkey's long face was crooked, and he had an inexplicable expression.
This guy didn't know how to get out of that corner when he was evacuating, and he also withdrew from the imperial capital with Chen Yin and them, and he actually found Chen Yin accurately in the chaotic crowd! I have to say that this guy is more like a dog than a horse.
Gently patting the head of the auction of the second goods, Chen Yin hung all kinds of supplies on the butt of the little donkey, then turned over on the horse, pointed to the distance and said, "Are you ready?" ”
The uncle and aunt glanced at each other, and silently turned over and got on the horse.
Just when Chen Yin wanted to shout the word "go", a man with a hood and a black cloak slowly came to Chen Yin and the others on a lur.
"You are?" Chen Yin looked at the mysterious man blocking the way, retracted his hand behind his back, and pressed it on the quick-draw card pack - the first card in this stack of cards was the fireball technique.
"It's me." The cold and familiar female voice sounded in Chen Yin's ears. (To be continued.) )
