"I'll give you this, Nalan Xingtian. Luther said.

"What is this?" Nalan Xingtian wondered.

"This is a parrot conch, which I got by accident many years ago. Luther smiled, "A lot of people were looking for it, and they didn't expect it to fall into the hands of a small mercenary and be taken to Oak Town to hide. ”

"The parrot conch, I've heard it before, I've heard that blowing it on the shore of the Endless Sea can summon the legendary mermaid, and I don't know if this legend is true. Meloti said.

"I can assure you that the legend is true. I've seen someone blow this conch to summon a mermaid, and now I've given him to you, Nalan Xingtian. Luther smiled.

"It's too precious. Nalan Xingtian said.

"Not precious, for a dying man, my daughter is more precious than it, I have no one to entrust, and such a valuable thing should not be buried in the ground forever with my death, the conch is given to you, and my daughter is also entrusted to you, I hope you will treat her well. Luther laughed.

Nalan Xingtian understood what Luther meant, his only concern was this adopted daughter, no matter what kind of treasure was meaningless to Luther now. He entrusted such a valuable thing to Nalan Xingtian is to show his sincerity, I have entrusted such a valuable thing to you, and you will also take care of my daughter in the face of this valuable.

Nalan Xingtian was no longer hypocritical, and took it, "I'll keep it, thank you for your gift Luther." ”

Luther smiled, relieved in his smile, Nalan Xingtian took over the conch and took on the responsibility of taking care of his daughter on his behalf.

"Don't worry, old man, we have our own mercenary group, although there is only a small mercenary group, there are only more than thirty people, but Luna will be well taken care of there. Meloti whispered.

"Mercenary group, good, I used to be a mercenary. Luther smiled.

"Luna. Luther fumbled for Luna's hand, clasped her hand tightly in his hand and said, "Follow Nalan and them well, study hard, take good care of yourself, and be obedient." ”

"I will be a father. Luna had tears in her eyes, but she didn't let it fall.

Nalan Xingtian said in a deep voice, "I know that as a father, what I am most worried about is what will happen to his children when he is gone, and how her children will survive in such a strange world without relatives and relatives." I will teach her swordsmanship, I will teach her how to support herself. ”

"Well, I'm relieved to have you. Luther laughed, and then he said, "Luna, I'd like to have a drink." ”

"No, you can't drink, father. Luna said.

"I know I don't have much time, I've been entrusted with your affairs, and I want to take a sip of my favorite wine in this last time. Luther smiled, "Bring it, the guests are here, let's drink together." ”

Luna turned her gaze to Nalan Xingtian, who nodded at her.

Eventually, Luna brought the wine, along with three porcelain bowls, which she poured and handed to the others.

Luther took the bowl, as did Nalan Xingtian and Melotti.

It's still the same wild fruit wine, but the color is a little cloudy.

Nalan Xingtian and Meloti picked up the bowl, touched the bowl with Luther, and then drank it separately.

"I'm really happy that I still have someone to drink with me at this time. Luther smiled, his smile full of ease.

The three of them drank, and Luther was delighted, at least Luna hadn't seen Luther smile so happy in a long time.

When the wine was drunk, Luther began to talk about the adventures of his youth, he talked about the glory of the mercenary group, he told about his former high spirits, he also talked about the girl he once fell in love with when he was young, and talked about the close friends who had left this world one by one before him.

Nalan Xingtian and Meloti acted as the best listeners, quietly listening to Luther's stories and chatting with him about his thoughts.

Time passed little by little, Luther said for a long, long time, he felt that he had not said so happily for a long time, under the blessing of alcohol, his face was very ruddy, as if he was a normal person.

After he finished telling his story, he smiled and said, "I feel so happy to say everything I want to say, thank you for listening to me, I feel so tired, I want to sleep well." ”

After Luther finished speaking, he closed his eyes, then breathed smoothly and slowly fell asleep.

This sleep is extraordinarily sweet, in his sleep, he seems to have returned to the era when he was young and high-spirited, he carried a heavy sword to build on the top of the mountain, the sun set, and the golden light sprinkled on her body, beautiful and mysterious.

......

Luther died, in his sleep without pain, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had had had some kind of sweet dream.

Nalan Xingtian dug a pit outside the hut, buried Luther in it, and then made a simple tombstone with the words "Luther's tomb" engraved on it.

Luna cried like a tearful man, sobbing quietly, tears lingering.

In her little head, only the images of getting along with Luther flashed, happy, difficult, painful, she felt that her heart was empty, and her soul was as uncomfortable as if it had been hollowed out.

The only thought that came to her mind was:

Luther is gone,

He's gone,

Gone forever.

It was snowing outside, but Luna didn't feel the cold at all, and she felt her tears burn hot, dripping down, burning her heart.

Nalan Xingtian stood silently in front of Luther's grave, he picked up the remaining wine in the flask, and then poured it gently in front of the grave, he said in a low voice: "Luther, go all the way." ”

Meloti looked at Luna's sad appearance and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

......

It was already afternoon to deal with Luther's affairs.

Luna's follower, Nalan Xingtian, arrives at Vic's house and explains the situation to Vic.

Vic looked at Luna and sighed, "It's a poor child, don't worry, Nalan Xingtian, she's here, follow me in the future, and I'll treat her well." ”

Nalan Xingtian took Luna's hand, he half-squatted, looked into Luna's eyes and said, "Luna, this will be your home in the future, and Vic will take good care of you." ”

Luna opened her big eyes and asked, "Big brother, don't you want Luna?"

"Luna, listen to me, the place where Big Brother is going is dangerous, you don't fit well, you follow Vic and they will be best taken care of. Nalan Xingtian pointed to Janet and Yang Xueli not far away, "Do you see those two sisters? They are also very good people, you are so sensible, everyone will like you." ”

Nalan Xingtian paused and continued: "Moreover, I will come here often, my mercenary group is still here, I will teach you martial arts in the future, and go hunting with my eldest brother." ”

"Well, Luna will be obedient. Luna nodded earnestly.
