Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rhine

The team continued to move forward, and gradually walked onto a wooden bridge, below the wooden bridge is a huge chasm, the edge of the stone cliff on both sides exposed sharp stone thorns, like the teeth of a monster, this ravine stretches to both sides, it is the mouth of the monster, the ravine is bottomless, it seems to be able to swallow everything, the fog is blocked above the ravine, no one descends to the bottom, that is the real bottomless, the Moon Night Realm built it on the side of this ravine when building the Moon Night Prison Tower, and the mountains, after the mountains is the Broken Desert. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Moon Night Retreat is on the other side of the deep ditch, people have always thought that the Moon Night Retreat is located in the center of the imperial capital, but in fact, it is located in the northeast of the imperial capital, close to the border of the Moon Night Realm.

This chasm is called the abyss of guilt, which means that the criminals in the prison tower have been branded with the mark of sin and can no longer return to the city and life of people, and there will be an abyss in front of them that symbolizes the insurmountability to isolate the outside world, and the only passage that sits on the abyss of guilt, the wooden bridge - the bridge of judgment, symbolizes the verdict, the person who walks in, your future has been judged, and if you want to get out of this bridge, your life will be judged.

The procession stopped, and Lyle looked up into the sky, the huge tower stretching straight up into the sky, and the top could not be seen clearly, and the walls were bone-white, the color of despair on this building.

"I didn't expect to bother the head of the Rhine regiment to escort him personally, did my subordinates bother you. A man said in a playful tone as he walked towards the group.

The short white hair that covered the ears and the ends of the hair hung down to the neck was not as glamorous as the silver hair of the Rhine, but only pure and unvariated white, but complemented the white walls of the prison tower. The silver armor was worn on the body, and under the armor was a white coat, which was the exclusive attire of the regimental commanders.

The man's eyes were half-squinted, and his face was sly, which could not help but be reminiscent of a cunning fox.

Born Cowyd, the head of the third branch of the Knights of the Moonlit Night, directly under the prison guard unit, everyone in the regiment is a ruthless killer, raising a knife to kill without blinking, blood splashed can also do expressionless and calm, is a real executioner, the knife is up and down, the head rolls to the ground, because they are facing brutal criminals, so they must also be brutal. Their duty is to prohibit all criminals from escaping, like the abyss that symbolizes the concept of "isolation", they are a group of deaths guarding the abyss, and they want to escape unless they are all reduced to bones.

Lyle never imagined that he would be sent to such a place.

"It's just my own will," Rhine spoke, even in the face of other regimental commanders of the same status as himself, he was still cold, even polite and polite were dispensed with, Lyle thought to himself, yes, he is a person who can do it to his own brother without feelings, "The rest is left to Captain Beaune, Atalani, let's go." ”

With a gray swing and shaking, Rhine turned to leave, Atalani followed closely, like a child clinging to an adult, when the two walked to the end of the team, the brothers passed by, there was no looking at each other, Lyle did not dare to look up, as for Rhine, no one could find a little information from that face that seemed to be an ice sculpture, for Lyle, he thought that his brother was disdainful of turning his head because of himself.

Because of this, he didn't know if Rhine's eyes had fallen on him for a moment.

A cowardly person may really not be worthy of being the younger brother of a powerful person, and he is not even qualified to stand by his side.

"Brother," Lyle struggled in his heart a thousand times, and finally mustered up all the courage to speak, and Rhine stopped, but still left only his back.

"Wait for me to say hello to my uncle. He said.

Rhine was silent, did not make any answer, he did not show acceptance, nor did he refuse, not even the simplest gesture of bowing his head, and after a few seconds of silence, Rhine sped away.

Goodbye, brother, Lyle made words in his heart that resembled a goodbye. The two of them are completely opposite existences, one is a famous knight commander in all directions, and the other has only become a criminal, and perhaps, they will never be able to usher in the day when they are as close as ordinary brothers.

With a loud bang, like a heavy and redundant long sound, the iron door behind the Rhine closed, and Lyle had been escorted into it, and the Moonlit Night Prison Tower completed the closure of the outside world.

The moonlight waterfall above the head poured down on the earth, sprinkled on everyone's body, the moonlit Rhine's face was cloudy, Athalani walked behind the left side of the Rhine, the two unconsciously distanced, Atalani looked at the back of Rhine, so tall, but it seemed, so ...... Desolate and decadent, he felt like he was now in a field so small that he could only accommodate himself, and the realm was full of loneliness.

The quiet atmosphere is so eerie that it chills from the bottom of your heart.

"Aren't you tired?" After a long time, Atalani suddenly spoke, she stared at it for too long, and the longer she looked, the more she could feel the exhaustion coming from that back, not physical exertion, but more like mental torment. She finally couldn't help but speak, the voice echoed around the silence, like a heavy and ancient hammer, hammering the atmosphere of silence, Rhine's body shook strangely for a moment, like a toddler about to fall, as if a needle that could penetrate all the most vulnerable places pierced into Rhine's chest, pierced into the most vulnerable part of his heart, so that he could almost not bear the damage.

"What are you talking about?" Rhine asked, knowing whether he asked knowingly or really didn't understand, but he wasn't the kind of person who would play stupid, and his seriousness and meticulousness could even make people feel uncomfortable. But the details that he revealed in an instant were exposed to Atalani's eyes.

"I mean, you've been wearing that cold mask for more than ten years, don't you feel tired, don't you want to try to take it off?" added Atalani, her brow furrowed, she was worried about the Rhine, "I used to feel it in the human world." The term 'facial paralysis' refers to those who have no facial expression so they can't see their inner thoughts, just like your current expression, but you are still different, your face still has a cold, repulsive coldness, as if you are afraid of an injured child to protect yourself, you are not the kind of person with facial paralysis, so you should not show that expression all the time, even in front of your brother you don't open your heart. Attalani said it felt a bit like a mother educating an unreasonable child.

"What do you want to say?" Rhine was still cold, and his words were still indifferent.

"I just think you're putting too much pressure on yourself and you're out of breath, so I think you should be tired... Very... Tired..."Atalani said, her voice gradually quieter, and finally it only lingered in her throat, she couldn't get out, she couldn't swallow, she was just afraid that she had gone too far, not that she was worried about being taught a lesson by her superiors, she simply didn't want Rhine to poke the pain because of her words, she didn't want to do those things that hurt Rhine, not at all.

"I don't have the consciousness to blame you, you don't need to show that kind of feeling like you're waiting to be punished for doing something wrong," Rhine said, although he didn't look back at her, as if he could sense her thoughts, Atalani was indeed drooping his head now, like a trembling kitten, "It's just my principle, and superfluous feelings will only lead to the failure of the mission, or the loss of life," he paused, as if recalling some sad past, sadness made him angry, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Just like my dad, if he hadn't broken the rules because of his feelings, we wouldn't have ......" He stopped abruptly and didn't finish his sentence, as if something was hard to say.

"I don't want to repeat that mistake. After a long time, he said again.

"Why don't you restrain yourself in front of your brother, after all, it's a brother. ”

"He's already cowardly, so I can't be cowardly anymore, I have to choose strong," Rhine said, as if telling some ancient oath or determination, the determination to overturn everything, and there was a ruthlessness in it, "If we both become cowardly, maybe we, will die, disappear unconsciously, and not even be known by anything, and we will be overwhelmed and buried by contemptuous gazes and cold words." ”

For the first time, there was something emotional in his words, but they were deeply desolate, like a mourning tune.

"Then why are you crying again?" thought to Atalani, but she didn't say it, she was afraid that it would have consequences beyond her expectations, so she cut it at her throat. She just accompanied him into an inexplicable sad atmosphere.

The moonlight swept the earth in a sword-like beam, sweeping across Rhine's cheeks, and a thin line of glittering light on his fair skin stretched out from his eye sockets and disappeared into his jaw.

This man, actually cried, crying so quietly, as if the whole world ignored him, he was the only one, standing in the majestic and crying silently, no one went back to know that such a cold man flowed out like ice melted tears, the breath of sadness continued to rush out, so much sadness, through distant memories, in a house a long, long time ago, a teenager huddled in the corner of the house with his knees and cried, and there was a boy outside the door, unnoticed, the boy did not cry, just stood there coldly and quietly, with his back against the door, his face was strained, expressionless, but his heart was crying。

"Actually, your brother has always misunderstood you, the misunderstanding is very deep, he thinks you hate, hate him, in fact, you don't hate him, you haven't born a trace of negative emotions in him, your only dissatisfaction, just don't understand what the meaning of your father's actions back then is, and even sacrifice the normal life you should have, and even the future. Atalani boldly spliced together all the memories he had searched in his head in this sad atmosphere that seemed to be able to comprehend something, and said what he thought about himself.

She has always stayed by the side of the Rhine, she can see through the Rhine better than anyone else, and she knows the Rhine better than anyone else, even if it is a back, she can find out the changes and clues in it.

I want to escort him in person, but I'm just afraid that I won't see him again, and I won't be able to see the only family member, because I can't choose between the principles I am determined to stick to and the only relative in the world, so he is also confused, it turns out that he is also a dead child, because there are still uncertain things, so he still needs to grow.

There should be a dead child hidden in everyone's heart, not only Lyle, but also Rhine, but Rhine is hidden deeply, Lyle's dead child is "weak", and Rhine is "strong".

"So why are you saying so much to me today? Rhine asked, the conversation between the two had unconsciously gone beyond the scope of the conversation between the superior and the subordinate, and was more like two people with the same heart talking openly.

"I just don't want to see you fall into a self-entanglement that you can't extricate yourself from because of yourself, didn't you say okay from the beginning, if you don't want to get hurt, then I will be your shield and bear everything for you, if you can't choose yourself, I will become your sword to cut everything, I only listen to you, I will do whatever you say, even if it is against everything, I will stand by your side. ”

"Let's go," Rhine said, perhaps just not wanting to continue the conversation, which was a little too sad.

The cold air that was quietly released turned the tears into ice crystals and dissipated, and Rhine's face returned to normal again, as if he had never shed tears, he was still the man like ice,

The figures of the two swayed in the night, moving slowly, and there was no word all the way.
