Chapter 122: The Weight of Life
Flames burned in the harbor of Northwind, and many humans fled in the flames. But after all www.biquge.info it just fell into another huge net.
Their final result was that they were decapitated and chopped to pieces by one of the Nord warriors wielding giant swords and axes in the midst of screams. And that didn't quell the mad rage of the Nords.
They burst into the flaming ships and camps almost like wild beasts, and further wreaked havoc with their own weapons. Manic and fast, more frightening than any fire or storm. At one point, anyone who saw everything that happened here had a sense of imminent disaster.
However, even though they knew that their actions would cause panic and fear to these guests from afar, the Nord people still had no intention of stopping. They even intensified their own killings.
And among them, the old shaman, who is very old but definitely has a bad temper, is the first to bear the brunt.
Although he was able to use the power of spells, he had no intention of using them at all. Instead, he was bare-chested, like a raging warrior, waving the staff made of pure ice and iron in his hand, smashing one human brain after another, turning this seemingly magical magic weapon into a murder weapon in his hand.
And as he did so, he roared in a voice as angry as a lion's roar.
"Who gave you the courage to do such a thing on our Nord land. Who gave you the courage to hunt our children and princesses? You will pay for what you have done!"
Not only did his roar almost scare the humans who faced him, but it also made the onlookers realize why the Nords were going crazy. This made many of those who were not in harmony with the kingdom's forces sneer, and among them, especially those from the empire, laughed the most.
"It's so unknowingly unaware of how to do such a heart-wrenching thing on the territory of the Nords. The people of the kingdom have also been carried away by the victory of the war in the past two years, and they dare to do such stupid things, this time they should know that there are some things that should not be provoked at all. ”
"It's not that I'm getting carried away. It was the merchant under the Grand Duke of Brittdam who had lost too much this time. It's not just a loss of interests, it's a loss of face. As the third heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Viren, his voice is much higher than that of Her Royal Highness the princess of that kingdom. And it is precisely because of this that he will never let his face be damaged in any way. The loss of interests didn't matter, but the loss of face was enough to make him fall into the battle for the succession of the kingdom. The merchant made such a big mistake in the Asgard Icefield that Brittdam lost face. If he doesn't come up with a proper explanation, I'm afraid that even if he goes back, there will be no good end. So he will definitely think of taking risks and finding an explanation for himself that can be explained. ”
But he hit the wrong people with his mind. Didn't you hear what the old shaman said? The princess of the Nords was also attacked. No wonder these Nords are like madmen. That's the purest blood of the Nords, if something happens. Maybe these madmen may directly burn the flames of war to the territory of the Viren Kingdom!"
"Hey, hey, it's not a joke. Once the Nords left the icefield, it was a big deal. Even the gods in the heavens will act because of this. ”
The Imperials, the well-informed Dwarven merchants, and the halfling merchants who like to inquire about the gossip, are all talking about this matter at this time. And that's exactly what the old shaman wanted.
The fact that the Nords attacked guests who came to their territory for business for no reason was not something that could be said casually. He had to have a reasonable reason, an excuse that would convince the vast majority of people. And speaking as a dome is undoubtedly the most convincing way.
With this excuse, the Nords could not only go on a killing spree, but also give these Kingdom people who had violated the taboo a taste of the sharpness of the Nord weapons. It can also reassure these merchants, so that they will not be frightened by their current actions, and thus have unnecessary worries about trading with the Nords.
The average Nord would probably just be angry about this kind of thing, and then come to the door desperately. And only the old shaman has the experience and wisdom to do things so safely. And since he has done things to this point, it almost means that he already has the consciousness to completely exterminate these kingdom people.
The screams of the people of the kingdom grew weaker and weaker, but the flames grew fiercer. The raging flames burned almost half of the night sky red, adding an indescribable beauty to the deep dark night of Asgard. Hiko, on the other hand, stood in front of a woodland quite far from the shore, looking out at the fiery red color of the sky in the distance.
He was silent, and the silence on his face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time. At this time, Dome had quietly walked to his side, stood side by side with him, and whispered to him.
"Lord Lu has already done it. He arranged it well, and no human being who was involved in the Kingdom of Viren would leave the land of Asgard alive. They will receive the punishment they deserve, and they will remember this lesson with their blood and pain. Moreover, for Kolori, it should be enough to have so many kingdoms of humans as a sacrifice. You... You don't have to be too upset. ”
Qiong's words made Hiko slowly shift his gaze to the grave in front of him. It was still the small tomb bag that the dome had built at that time, but on top of this tomb bag, there was an extra broken long sword. The sword is stuck in a square stone. On this stone, such a passage is engraved in a script that only Hikoko can understand.
"A fearless brave man, a friend who makes people repent. You traded your life for mine, and you taught me what courage and loyalty are with sacrifice. I am honored to have you as a friend, and I am saddened by your passing. The rest of my life was given by you, and I will always remember you in my heart. ”
There is no name on it, but there is a sign of the Holy Light with a circular cross. The warm light flickered slowly on this sign, like a morning star falling down on the mortal world. His eyes were fixed on the sign, and it was only after a while that Hiko opened his mouth and said to the firmament.
"Do you think we'll ever see Kolori again, I mean after we're dead?"
Hearing this question, Dome subconsciously wanted to answer that it was impossible. Because their place is fixed. The ferryman will send them to the places where they should go in the dreams of the Eternal Dead. The place where she and Hiko should go is the Hall of the Dead. And Kolori is going to the Four Seasons Hills of Alomia, the Shaper. There should never be any more intersections between them.
But when the words came to her lips, she replied to Hiko like this.
"Maybe. The Eternal One is our tolerant Mother, who will allow us to meet again in her dreams. Believe me, our parting now is only temporary. After this long journey of life, we will meet again one day. ”
These are words of comfort, Hikoko knows it very well. But even knowing that this was just the dome's comfort to him was impossible. But he still had a peaceful smile on his face.
"Thank you, Dome. I also believe that we will have that day. ”
Hiko's smile was like sunlight shining into the darkness, and the dome suddenly loosened its tight breath. Maybe even she can't say why she cares so much about Hiko's emotions. But when Hiko just let go, she still couldn't help but feel this sense of relief.
She thinks of it as her sister's concern for her brother, and Hiko thinks the same way. Although in his eyes, Dome is more like a sister who needs to be taken care of by him. But at this time, he did enjoy the comfort of his relatives.
He took a deep breath and turned around completely. Hikoko strode towards the carriage parked there. He'd left all the emotions behind him. And those precious things that need to be remembered by him are also deeply engraved in his heart.
This is his new life, an unforgettable part of his life. Although there is some pain, some sadness, and even unspeakable regret. But he was grateful for all this. Because it made me understand how heavy this life is.
This is no longer his life alone. This is the life that Kolori has extended to him with her life, and it is something that belongs to the two of them. He had to cherish it all, and he had to make it even more exciting.
Then, he had to hit the road.
The creaking of carriages creaked quietly through the woods, and there was a mixture of the energetic words between the boy and the girl.
"Hand over that thing, you owe me one last time. ”
"Didn't I ask you last time? You said you didn't want to learn. ”
"When did I ever say something like that. Besides, is that the time to say that kind of thing? Is your head full of mush?"
"It's all mushy anyway. So sorry, I forgot everything. ”
