Chapter 478: Memories of the Void (5)
"You have this idea, I am very happy for the Knights, but no," the knight of the guard sat behind the table of the "Recruitment Office" for a long time, but talked to the volunteers with a confused face, "You are still too young, the purpose of the Knights is to protect everyone living in this land, all women, children, old and young, to protect all those who are vulnerable and weak, you are also ......" He tried to persuade the child in front of him, trying to help the other party eliminate this impulse, he thought he was" on the spur of the moment". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the difference between me and you?" stared at the knight with a straight gaze.
The knight was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that "you" meant everyone in the army who had become knights.
"Why do you want to be a knight?" the knight couldn't help but ask, but he couldn't help but be stunned, remembering that not long ago, he was asked the same question by this child.
The knight saw that the boy was hiding behind him a child who was younger than him, and the boy's hand kept clutching the arm of the child behind him.
When we all heard this question, what came to our minds for a moment was the same? The knight thought to himself, glancing at the palm of his hand that he was holding at some point the charm around his waist, a habit that had been deliberately done at the beginning and had now become a memory of the body.
"Staying here, I can't protect anything, I can't keep hiding in this cradle of stability for a long time. Sora said.
"I know how you feel, but I can let you sneak out, but there's nothing I can do about it......" The knight looked apologetic.
"Then, tell that grandfather for me!, yes, Chief Knight!" said Sora at once, chasing after him.
The knight's face showed an even more embarrassed color, but then there was a voice, and the sound was empty, and it was this feeling, all the cells in the body trembled because of the restlessness, and the hairs on the whole body stood up uncontrollably, this feeling of extreme disgust and resistance...... Sora raised his head, the light in front of him was completely blocked by the body of the comer, and the emaciated and iron-blue face like a demon was the man.
"The chief knight manages too many affairs up and down, and he wants to care about the whole land, how can he just spare so much time because of a child's nonsense?" The man's mouth was full of accusations, "A hairy child can't hide in this place safely, what is the reputation of being a knight?"
"Captain Dyce, it's hard to go out!" the knight on guard immediately saluted, and then glanced at the air, "This is Captain Dyce, who is responsible for managing the recruitment, whether you can be arranged into the army or not is ultimately up to this captain to decide." ”
Sora only felt that there was a cold cold air that seemed to be released from every pore on the man's skin, more eerie cold than the cold outside, the cold air seemed to be able to penetrate directly into the body, Sora couldn't help but glance at the knight next to him, but the knight didn't seem to be affected except for obeying the rules and keeping the courtesy, and asked in the hollow, can't you feel it? Can't you feel it at such a close distance? It came from this person, that evil qi ......
But the knight said that the key to becoming a knight was the man in front of him who exuded a cold and cold air, a man who was not friendly to him at all and even a little disgusted.
I have just decided the path I want to embark on, but is it this person who will face it immediately?
The empty heel had just taken a small step backwards unconsciously, but he felt it, felt someone pressing against his back, and there was a trembling sensation of fear.
Urfa, do you feel it, too? Hollow thought to myself, do you also feel scared, for what is blocking our way?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Sora grabbed Urfa's hand, and he whispered.
Urfa gradually calmed down.
Uncles, please bless me, clench your fist to your chest empty, and then tilt your head hard.
"Please, I'm the same, I have something I want to try to stand in front of me to protect, please let me, become a knight too!" he looked directly into the man's eyes and face, and straightened up!
"Do you think a knight can be a knight?" Deis let out a deep disdain and disgust, "Do you think that becoming a knight is a way to make yourself better? The establishment of knights is not so that anyone can talk about it and consciously get redemption, the reality is that knights are used to put into the battlefield to resist the enemy's combat effectiveness, and they are born for the security of the country, can you know how many knights we may lose every day? That's why we must constantly fill the military strength, instead of leaving a vacant seat for children to play with." ”
"If you stay in this lifeless place like this, you will only sit in place day and night, and I just feel that this is the way to let myself die slowly," said Sora as a result of what he had been thinking in his heart. I don't know if the knight you call is just a combat power used to put into the battlefield, but I know that because someone told me that knights exist to protect their important people, so that they don't appear to watch those who like die in this war, in order to lead them to live hard until the end of the war and peace comes. ”
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?!" Sora leaned his neck hard, and took a step towards Dayce, in front of the man who made him feel unbearable to resist.
Urfa suddenly came out from behind Sora, his left hand was held hard by Sora, and he also folded his right hand up, standing next to Sora, he didn't speak, but stared at Days with Sora, his immature little face was tense, and he pursed his mouth, as if he had done something realization.
"I'm going to be a knight, and I want to take the people I want to protect and try to live!" Sora said loudly.
yes, that's what you want me to do, uncles, is this the way you want me to live, try to live.
yes, it turns out that this is the feeling of trying to live.
"You kid......" Dyce's face looked hideous, "there are more people who talk big in this world, how old are you? How much have you seen this world? How much have you experienced? You stand in front of me, a person who has been in life and the world for decades, and say such things, and ask me if I am wrong? You have to face it, but the reality that has stumped countless people, and what has forced countless people to give up." ”
"Even if tens of millions of people fall for this, no one has ever said that there is no one in ten million possibility in this world!" Sora clenched the other fist and clenched it with all his might, as if it was holding the one in ten million in that fist, "No matter what, I'm going to do it!"
The guard knight didn't know how to interject at all, and watched the old and young people confront each other, one was an old knight who had gone through vicissitudes, and the other was a child who wanted to become a knight with emotion and fearlessness.
"It seems that the young people who are not really hit by the heavy blow of reality, and the hot-blooded young people don't know that they are stupid," Deis gritted his teeth out and crunched, "Yes, I will only give you three or four days, if you can find any of them, you can keep up with the pace and integrate into the troops, I will allow you to become a member of this barracks in the future." ”
"I will, I will!"
Dais looked very displeased, and simply stopped paying attention to the empty air, and turned to ask the guard knight about the matter.
"During this time, are there any dead people in the Anding area that can be transferred?"
"With all due respect, Captain Dyce, there is plenty of food and shelter in the Anding Zone, plus there is no need to worry about the threat to life, compared to the outside world, not only is there no hunger and cold, but it also reduces the damage caused by the confrontation between people for resources, as for the problem of patients, the medical supplies in the barracks are still enough to deal with it. ”
"You just said that there are no corpses that need to be disposed of?"
"Yes, all this time, not a single one. The knight replied.
Days looked deflated, just outside the door there was the sound of wheels twisting, a transport convoy was driving in the barracks, passing by the gate of the Anding District, a little distance away from the air seemed to be able to smell the air mixed with a strange smell, he had heard of a herb before, ground into powder sprinkled on the dead animals, can effectively cover up the stench, the remaining stench mixed with the unique fragrance of the herb into a strange new smell.
Sora saw that each car was covered with a burlap cloth, and he could vaguely see the silhouette of the human body lying horizontally, followed by flies and insects buzzing outside the linen.
"Hmph, I'm also in charge of the reception and disposal of the corpses of the victims, and it's the job of managing the dead, but you're yelling at me to live or something like that. Days turned away and let out a sarcastic snort.
Sora watched the convoy continue to drive away outside the door, and his eyes suddenly fell on a follower, he was different from all the knights, it was a child who was about the same as himself, yes, it was a child, thin like a walking skeleton under his clothes, this was a child, and he was following the convoy of the man who hated children?
The child also met the empty gaze for a moment, and the empty saw the other party's cloak like a ghost, and a pair of godless pupils that had made the air look at it I don't know how many times, growing on the pale and sickly face.
"You kid, it's really amazing, dare to argue with that person, in fact, Captain Dyce, in the entire barracks, has been described as 'weird', 'elusive' and the like, plus because of his rank, all the knights are in awe of him," the knight looked at the empty smile and said, "I decided, in a few days, I will apply to be replaced by the guard of this place, I am a knight, not to sit in this kind of place all day and waste time, but I was also called ' in the village once Swordsmanship's Little Prince's. He quipped, rubbing the pendant in his hand.
"But you're gone, what will happen to this place?" Sora asked.
"This 'enlistment office,' I think, has done its job," said the knight, "for it is incredible, I seem to have been inspired by the words of a child, and really, I do not admit that I am old." ”
Sora gasped for breath until Days was gone, and the disgust that had been tormenting him finally disappeared, and he found that the necklines of his clothes were soaked this time, probably because he was under invisible pressure when facing Days, but at that time, Sora didn't feel too much tension, just thinking, to say what he was thinking with all his might.
His hand was suddenly embraced, a pair of novels with a little cold, but his fingertips were in the palm of that hand, and he could feel the temperature in his hand.
"Urfa?"
"Brother, brother," said Urfa, "don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
"Well, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, how can I be afraid, what I have to face and overcome," Sora said, "Don't worry, brother, no matter what happens, I will stand in front." ”
No matter what happens, they will be at the forefront......
At a certain point in time that would not be recorded in the history books at all, a boy named Sora saw the path he was going to take.
