Chapter 15: An Elegy for Life
"Huh?"
I took a step back, looking suspicious.
At that moment, I couldn't breathe or think.
I don't believe it!
I really can't believe this happened!
"Alas~ the monastery has become a pile of ruins, dead and wounded......"
Joharo sighed, and I saw the sorrow in his eyes, which was a deep sorrow.
I hate that look!
Yoharo said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to rescue from the ruins, and I found General Xu two hours ago, but he ...... At present, he is still in the rescue. ”
I couldn't believe my ears, how could such a coincidence happen in the world!
Last night my father was angry with me, and the reactionary forces launched an offensive and destroyed the monastery.
Father, he is only at the peak of his star rank...... No...... Are there no bones left......
I could barely stand on my feet, my legs shaking and going limp.
"Father, he...... It's okay...... "My voice was so weak that I couldn't even hear it, with deep fear.
Joharo shook his head: "Probably...... There is no hope. ”
Rumble!
The way he shook his head turned into a thunderbolt that staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.
The mentor hurriedly stepped forward to support me, and when he saw that my eyes were ethereal and dilated, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, what did you say to Xu Dan? Xu Dan has been hit hard!"
Joharo let out a long sigh and just shook his head, but it was sad.
My mother also came to care for me, and I became more and more afraid, I was afraid that I would never see my father again.
"Xu Dan, let's go. Joharo folded his hands behind his back and looked up at the light of the sky.
Do you want to see your father?
I struggled to stand up from my mentor's arms, straightening my back, trying to disguise my sadness, but I couldn't.
I couldn't help but think of the warrior named Kane.
I don't know why I thought of him all of a sudden, but he was the most capable teenager at disguising his emotions.
"Let's go. I replied lightly, my brows full of sadness.
My mother grabbed me and asked me what had happened.
I didn't say anything, but after a few perfunctory words, I broke away from her hand and followed Johalo's footsteps.
Joharo only told me about it, obviously because he was afraid that my mother would not be able to bear the blow, and I was not prepared to tell her.
My father is a general, and he is the commander of the capital guards, and if he dies, it will cause a storm in the city, so in order to block the news, he naturally will not tell my mentor.
Joharo walked with a few nurses, and I hurried outside, the cool breeze outside the house blowing on my face.
It was a June day, but I felt bitterly cold.
I have been praying for my father all the way, and there are many strong people in the capital, and I will definitely be able to save my father.
The scenes of yesterday's quarrel replayed in my mind, and my heart was full of self-blame and guilt.
When I came to the medical area, I felt like I had just woken up from a dream.
Something really happened to my father, and this really happened.
In the white and clean ward, the first thing I saw was not my father, but several plainclothes officers, who were surrounding my father's bed.
There are also several white-robed physicians and white-robed healers, who cast healing spells one after another, trying their best to maintain their father's vitality.
The healer stayed by and occasionally cast a healing spell, but it didn't have much effect, and it seemed that he had given up on healing his father.
My legs became extremely heavy, and every step was extremely difficult.
When I got to the bed, I didn't recognize the person at first sight, and I doubted my own eyes.
The man on the bed was covered in layers of gauze and bandages, and there were some freshly spilled blood stains on it, and even several holy doctors couldn't stop the wounds.
After I turned on the [Heavenly Pupil], I was directly dumbfounded.
One message after another appeared on my retina, shocking.
[Gold Tension] is 30% more effective when healed, and the remaining durability is 92%.
[Gold Gauze] The self-healing ability of the injury is increased by 30%, and the remaining durability is 88%.
[Scaly Wound] max HP reduced to 20%, HP loss of 2% per second, and immunity to buff spells.
[Checkmate's Breath] Body Damage Area is higher than 90%, the effect is reduced by 90% when healed, and it is immune to the Disability Healing Spell.
[Ice Sword Will] is protected by the totem when it is on the verge of death, and its endurance is +100%.
[Elegy for Life] Obtain a death exemption when you are on the verge of death, and your life force is forcibly retained for 0.1% for 4 minutes.
My eyes were filled with tears, and there were many, many states that I couldn't know with my rank, but that alone made me extremely uncomfortable.
[Elegy for Life] is a stunt of the Holy Throne Physician, which renews the life of a dying person for 1 hour, and each person can only take effect once in their lifetime.
Obviously, they used this magic when they had no choice.
And that totem buff, I never knew what kind of existence the Xu family's totem was.
"Daddy!" I cried out in a choked voice, walking over to the head of the bed, my head hanging guiltily.
My father's eyes were closed, and his breath was like nothing, and I looked at him with wide eyes, and my heart was worried.
My father, who was domineering yesterday, is unrecognizable today, and the tears that I tried to restrain could no longer be restrained.
Joharo asked the white-clothed healer softly, and the healer shook his head.
He sighed and muttered, "I didn't expect it...... Things are actually ...... It's come to this point......"
I also did not expect that the reactionary force to be so terrible, like the conversation between my father and my mentor that night, which even the Holy See feared.
"Xu Dan, when I knew the news, the sea and ice forest were in flames, and the monastery was gone," he walked up to me, patted me lightly on the shoulder, and spoke in a very soft voice, "Yesterday, General Xu felt that his eyelids were beating badly, and his heart was heavy, so I asked him to go back to rest for a day, but I didn't expect him to return to the monastery, and I admired his professionalism......"
My head was buzzing, my body could no longer move, and the pain was like my heart crying blood, but it couldn't make up for my guilt.
Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?
Why is this happening......
"Daddy...... I'm sorry......" I cried and fell to my knees beside the bed, my nails sinking deep into my palms and staining them blood-red.
If I hadn't argued with my father...... My father would rest at home for the night...... Then he wouldn't be lying here today.
My whole body was about to collapse, and I couldn't regret everything.
"Daddy......"
I knelt on the edge of the bed and talked to myself, people were stupid, and I couldn't listen to the officers who came to comfort me, and shouted over and over again.
All I had in my heart was the fear that gripped me, and I felt like I was going to vomit.
Suddenly, the healer screamed, and everyone was stunned.
Father moved, his eyelids moved!
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gradually focused, revealing a deep exhaustion.
My heart was beating faster and I was ecstatic, I grabbed my father's right hand with both hands, and cried out excitedly, "Dad, are you awake......"
My father's eyes were very confused, as if he was gradually dissipating.
He looked at me for a moment, then finally spoke.
Although his voice was soft and very weak, I could hear it clearly.
“...... Does it still hurt?"
I squeezed out a smile: "It doesn't hurt, daddy......"
His eyes were full of relief, a look that I will never forget, etched on my soul.
"Dan'er......" my father slowly called out my nickname, and the aftermath was very long.
His eyes suddenly dimmed, and there was no longer any brilliance.
The duration of the Elegy for Life is reset to zero at this moment.
Heart-rending pain.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
I cried out in agony.
In the last moments of his life, he also felt guilty that he slapped me, which made me even more sad.
This was the last conversation I had with him, and I will never have the opportunity to do it again.
