Chapter Seventy-Nine: Death
"Congratulations, Gallaher. Julian took Marlowe's hand, and blessed it, he said so, he did it, but there was resentment in his smile, and his smile was as cold as ice.
Marlowe returned Julian with a bright, innocent smile that stung Julian's heart like venom into his shrunken heart.
The poisonous snake wrapped around his heart spat letters, bared its fangs, and hissed: Kill him, you are the true king of the South. How can you tolerate him flying higher than you? How can you tolerate this coward leaping above you.
Julian's longsword trembled and stretched out to his waist, but was suddenly grabbed by Berille, "Congratulations, Count Gallaher. β
BΓ©rilang bowed and led Julian briskly away to a remote corner.
"Are you mad? you will kill him above the great hall, and in the presence of your father, in the presence of the white-crowned archbishop, in the presence of many nobles, you will be banished, exiled forever, and the power will fall into the hands of your uncle. Berry Lang retorted.
"Do you believe he has Gallaher in his veins?" said Julian, resentful.
"I believe, at least for now!" said Berryron earnestly.
Julian, pale, staggered back to his room like a dying man, and when the door tightened, he could no longer bear it, and he frantically destroyed everything in front of him, smashing and venting his anger as much as he could, roaring with rage, like a lion dying, an eagle with broken wings, and a viper with broken teeth.
"I believe he is a usurper. Anne Gallaher had already died in the underground prison of Fury Waves, and her delicate body had long been destroyed and destroyed by the jailers. I was convinced that he was a filthy bastard, a ghost hovering above me. β
Julian was tired, and his frantic cries went unanswered, and he asked Barr to call Antony, and when he faced the gray-haired Count Antony, he asked in a loud voice:
"Who is he?"
Count Anthony sighed deeply in front of the messy house and said, "He's Gallaher. β
"Where's the other half?"
Silence replaced the noise, and after a while, Anthony muttered, "McCarvey ....."
Not surprised by this answer, Julian said coldly, "He deserves to die." β
"He's your brother after all. β
Unimpressed by Count Anthony's answer, Julian continued, "Did Father mention anything?"
"Adopted son, Lord Duke wants to adopt Gallaher as an adopted son, after you leave!"
"Where?"
"Going to the imperial capital to study, this is the Duke's decision, he asked me to tell you. β
Julian looked up at the dimly lit ceiling and muttered, "I see, I'm exiled again." β
Because he was afraid of Julian and the nobles' too fierce opposition, Duke McCarvey decided to send Julian to the imperial capital, and let him leave the court of Fury Waves City in the name of studying, then Duke McCarvey could officially adopt Sean Marlowe Gallaher as his adopted son, and Sean would get the surname of the McCarvey family, as well as a part of the inheritance, although the order of inheritance is very low, but this is a threat that cannot be ignored for Julian.
"Mr. Anthony, I need your help. β
Anthony knew Julian, understood his madness and irritability, shook his head helplessly, and politely refused: "Son, be sober, don't let lust drag you into hell." β
"Teacher, are you going to abandon me?"
"You are the future duke, the only heir I have in my mind. I won't leave you, but you can't give up on yourself. β
Anthony was gone, and Julian sat down on the ground in despair, his teacher, a generous, loving elder in his mind, a true friend, who rejected him.
It was raining, the rain pounding on the window, the lightning swaying like a snake in the sky, but the deafening thunder could not reach Julian's ears.
Julian sat down on the ground with a numb expression on his face, and it was a long time before he spoke, "Are you there, Barr?"
"I'm here. Barr said, kneeling beside Julian.
"How many people do we have?"
"A hundred people, all elite. β
"Gather them together. β
Baal hesitated, he didn't understand what Julian meant, gathering troops in the castle of Fury Waves was like rebellion, it was a great crime of rebellion, but the so-called hesitation was only a moment, and he chose to faithfully fulfill the order.
Julian walked over to the bay window, pushed it open, let the wind penetrate into his body, let the rain fall on his thin body, let the lightning pierce his eyes, and he cried out madly in the wind and lightning, "Tonight, I will crown myself." β
Resolute and ready to attack, Julian straightened his collar in front of his mirror, and said to the warrior in armor and holding a sword in the mirror: "Tonight, you will be king." β
"Tonight you will bring about your own destruction. β
The shadow came again, and he walked leisurely, with his hands behind his back, and said categorically: "You are digging your own grave, and you will be destroyed by your madness." β
"Why are you here. Julian shouted angrily, "Where's Barr?"
"Baral?" Shadow scoffed, "Barr's not coming!"
"No way, there's no way Barr can betray me. β
"Wake up, you wicked gambler, you have betrayed your relatives. β
"No, you're lying!"
"Then let's wait and see. The shadow pointed to a candle on the candlestick and said, "When the candle goes out, you will believe me." β
Julian stared at the candle, looking forward to it, walking back and forth anxiously, waiting, waiting, waiting, the candle burned out little by little, but Baal was always future.
When the final flame was extinguished, Julian sat down on the ground in despair, and he reluctantly screamed, "Why? My revenge is a reasonable and righteous move. Why can't they understand me? I'm the real victim!"
"Reasonable and just?" Shadow sneered, "If it's a righteous act, you have the help of the gods, but why can't you find the murderer?"
"The murderer is Noamun, and he intends to kill me!"
"Why didn't Sebas catch the wizard in Boulder, only one orc who had gone astray? The magnificence of the shadow is full of ridicule.
"Why?" Julian replied in deep thought, "Sebas missed?"
"Haha. The Shadow laughed, and said, "Sebas, the dregs of the last era, the proud and mighty vampire, who in the world can escape his subtle pursuit?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Julian was in a panic at the shadow's words, "Sebas deceived me?"
"No, Sebas didn't lie to you. The shadow shook her head and teased, "Didn't you deceive yourself?" that unconscious, subtle self-suggestion. β
"Damn, what are you talking about?" Julian clutched his head in pain, his brain splitting.
"In that case, let me tell you the answer myself. This is my obligation. Isn't that wizard a false existence made up by your own hands?, isn't the real mastermind behind it yourself?!"
At this time, a flash of lightning flashed by, and the thunder roared deafeningly and deafeningly.
"No, you're lying. Julian retorted angrily, believing that he had been tricked.
"You know, you know, you know, you know, who is lying, is it you or me?"
"It's you. β
"No, it's you. In the face of Julian's anger, Shadow replied indifferently.
Small, broken, messy fragments of memories crawled and wriggled in Julian's brain like maggots, and they hissed and whispered, gradually merging into one.
"This ring. Julian looked at the diamond ring with red gems in his hand, and he remembered that this was the Ring of Bewitchment, which was given to him by Sebas, which could confuse the minds of others and manipulate their consciousness.
"That's right. How can you tolerate someone getting into your canary, the thought of Christine having a fiancΓ©, you are crazy with jealousy, anger makes you lose your mind, you want to kill him, but you don't want Christine to be even more disgusted with you, you have come up with a 'brilliant' way to get him to assassinate you, you are executing him for a reasonable reason, or let him go, Christine will be grateful to you. β
"But you seem to have forgotten about it, and you almost lost your life. It's a big joke that the devil died of his own tricks. The shadow clutched her stomach and bent over to laugh wildly.
After laughing enough, the shadow that relieved his breath continued: "As for why he attacked Noamun, it is even simpler. "You are short of money!" coveted the riches of the Earl of Noammon, and Noamon was faintly opposed to you, and you were furious, and directed the finger of your anger at him that threatened to kill you, and he was nothing but an innocent, wretched fellow, who fell victim to your arrogance. β
"Ah, you madman! That's why my father hates you and alienates you. β
Everything, all the truths were mercilessly pointed out by the shadows, and Julian was paralyzed in decadence, and everything was to blame on him.
"Am I wrong?" he asked, grimly.
"You're wrong. Shadow said categorically.
"And what's right?" said Julian, whispering for an answer.
Shadow took a mirror, placed it in front of him and said, "Look in the mirror, he's right." β
The bright mirror reflects Julian's gloomy, sad face, as if shrouded in gloomy clouds, when Julian raises his left hand, the person in the mirror raises his right hand, when Julian blinks his left eye, the person in the mirror blinks his right eye, the person in the mirror strokes his long left hair when Julian strokes his right hair, and when Julian covers his left ear, the right ear of the person in the mirror is covered.
Yurian, who couldn't take it anymore, stuck out his tongue, and the man in the mirror stuck out his tongue as well.
"Lo and behold, he agrees with me. Julian was as happy as a child.
Shadow shook his head, "You curl your tongue. β
Julian curled his tongue as the shadow said, and when his tongue curled to the left, the tongue in the mirror curled to the right, "Damn." Julian cursed angrily.
"The world in the mirror is the polar opposite of reality, and you are the polar opposite of what is right. Shadow said.
Julian was devastated by the shadow's words, and he asked with a crying face, "Have I ever done something that is beneficial to others?"
"No, you've lived up to a lot of expectations. β
"Do I possess virtues that are sufficient to show?"
"No, you are evil, evil itself.
Julian couldn't stop crying, crying and crying, and he suddenly raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes.
"You shameful liar, why do you keep obstructing me and hindering me. Julian cursed angrily at the shadow, "Scoundrel, liar, shameful scoundrel, you shouldn't chase me after me, now I want you to pay." Draw your sword! bastard!" Julian swore to pay for Shadow as he drew his sword from his waist.
The shadow hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and finally silently drew his sword and drew a defensive posture.
Julian's swordsmanship was so subtle that the tip of his sword seemed to have a thousand powers, and he quickly retreated the shadow into a corner, and then pierced the shadow's heart with a brutal and ferocious sword.
Julian excitedly vented his joy loudly, and there was no opponent who would hinder him in the future, and the shadow was about to die. As he turned to look at his dying opponent, the shadow staggered towards him with a dead face and covered in blood.
The shadow stood in front of Julian with the pain of dying, rested his blood-stained palm on his shoulder, and used all his strength to hiss, "You win, and I lose." But from now on you will die, and you will have no feeling for this world, for heaven, for hope! You exist in me---- and when I die, look at this shadow, this is your own shadow, and see how completely you have strangled yourself. β
At this time, Julian was finally horrified to find that the shadow's face all had its own characteristics, the shadow's hair was all his own hair, the blood in the shadow's mouth was all his own blood, the fibers on the shadow's clothes were all the fibers of his own clothes, and the shadow's pain ------ Julian lowered his head and found that the shadow's pain was all his own pain, and the blood stained his chest.
