When he returned to the dormitory, Lynch saw Barney sitting cross-legged on his bed, looking sullen. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info But Lynch won't take the initiative to ask, he can't help but say it.

Because if you ask him, he can go on and on a bunch of nonsense.

"Ahh

I got up early in the morning and worked for so long, tired and hungry.

"Ah......h

He couldn't help but yawn again, and was still a little sleepy. I don't know why it's so easy to get sleepy these days?

Feeling a lot fuller, Lynch crawled back into his bed and got ready for bed.

"Lynch!"

Barney on the side saw that Lynch didn't pay attention to him, and finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Hmm. Lying on the bed, Lynch closed his eyes and pretended to be sleepy, hoping to make Barney make a long story short.

"You used to see that I would care about me like this, why have you ignored me recently?"

Sure enough, it's still nonsense. Lynch simply turned his body to the side, his back to Barney.

"Lynch. ”

......

"Lynch, do you know where I'm being sorted to?"

"I don't know. ”

"I was driven to the regular garrison by the old man! The old man said that there are many people with bad talent this time, and I can't stay in the academy as a parasite! And said that I have no ideals!"

"Oh. ”

"Lynch, do you know what a parasite is?"

"It's the little things that used to crawl around on you, fleas. ”

"Oh. Lynch, you're amazing, you know everything. ”

Lynch had heard this sentence many times before, but being tossed by Barney like this, Lynch felt that he was not so eager to sleep.

"Didn't you say you were going back to pick up your family? Why haven't you left yet?"

"I told Tarot to go together, we are in the same place, but I have to wait for his side to finish the work first," Barney said with an envious expression: "I don't know what Tarot's talent is, but he finally went to the Charm Research Institute, envy!"

The children in the inner ring area and the outer ring area have some big differences in some concepts, the inner ring tries to go to the group organization that is biased towards fighting, while the outer ring generally wants to keep mingling, if they can not fight, they will not fight, and they will never return to the outer ring if they can go to the inner ring.

Lynch actually understands this, after all, after staying in the outer ring for a long time and seeing the life of the inner ring, no one wants to risk their lives to suffer in the outer ring anymore.

"Speaking of which, Lynch, why do you want to go to the Guard? Is it to follow Sister Luo Yu?

Lynch rolled back, looked at the ceiling, and took a deep breath.

"Barney. ”

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"Have you ever thought that one day the black fog will dissipate? Have you ever wondered what the world will be like when the black fog dissipates?"

Barney was stunned, he had never thought about this question.

In his eyes, the black fog was originally a part of this world, as natural as the existence of air, although he was popularized in the academy during his year, he knew what day was and what night was, and he knew that the sky was opposite to the ground under his feet, and there were stars in the sky at night.

Although he was amazed by the richness of the original world, he could not imagine what it was all like. After getting used to the black, the blue sky may be even more incredible for him.

"I ...... I do not know. ”

"I want to know. Lynch sat up and looked into Barney's eyes, although his face was still expressionless as usual, but in Barney's opinion, it was particularly intimidating: "So I want to be stronger, I want to go to the Guard, and when I am strong enough, I will go outside the city to explore, it is better than staying in this place for the rest of my life." ”

Barney opened his mouth wide and looked at Lynch, momentarily silent.

I said this to a little kid. Lynch laughed at himself, and lay down on the bed softly, a huge sleepiness swept over him.

"Lynch, you, do you want to make the black fog disappear?

It was a moment before Barney spoke, the freckles on his face accentuated by his flushed face with excitement.

Children love dreams of saving the world. Lynch sighed.

"The routine of saving the world is a bit old-fashioned, it's hard to say, and I'm too lazy to do it. ”

Barney looked blankly at Lynch lying on the bed, obviously he understood the meaning of every word, but why didn't he understand it after connecting them?

"What did you just say?"

Lynch didn't answer, the sound of long breathing was faintly audible, was he asleep?

At this time, he faintly heard someone calling his name outside the door.

"Barney, Barney, hurry back, I've got it done!"

It was Tarot calling him.

Barney scratched his head, put the previous conversation behind him, and jumped out of bed in one breath to find his little friend, who still had a bunch of things to do.

Lynch fell asleep in the room.

Central of the Imperial City.

This time, there were many people standing on the high platform of the Eternal Flame, and they stood around the flames, touching and standing.

Leslie Christian, the leader of the royal family, stood closest to the flames, dressed in fiery red ornate robes, and behind him stood a number of people who were also wearing red robes.

Of course, Chalmo was also present, he was different from his usual smiling look, this time his face was very serious, and there were also many people standing beside him, the old man of the previous pharmaceutical, Ms. Percy, was among them, and standing behind him was this year's little flame inheritor.

With the exception of the Christians, all of them wore the same costume as the previous night watchmen, with robes and hoods.

Kenwo stood among the little ones, desperately trying to suppress his excitement as he quietly looked around under the cover of his hood.

Here, Christian's thirteenth leader, the previous leader of the royal family, Leslie's grandfather, Ulduar, will perform the return ceremony.

He remembered what Lyle, the red-haired youth, had said to them before:

"Later, you will follow me to the altar of the Eternal Flame and there for the return of His Majesty the Thirteenth. ”

Lyle looked at the irrepressible look of surprise on the faces of some of the children, and there was a smile on the face that had always been cold since he came in: "This is indeed worthy of pride and glory, and you are lucky to be able to catch up with this event." You can't make any noise there, though, you know?"

"I don't know how many times I should emphasize it to you, but I will emphasize it to you over and over again on the way, and you must not make a sound, especially the outer ring, you know?"

Absolutely silent, absolutely disciplined, of course I know that my grandfather is also here, and it will be bad luck to break the rules and go back. Kenwo thought as a matter of course.

Where is His Majesty Ulduar now? Kenwo searched with wide eyes.

Then he saw Leslie, who had been standing still, suddenly walk in the direction of the steps, and the people behind him made way for him to pass through a gap.

Kenwo looked through the gap, and there stood an old man in a red robe, drooping down the steps.

Leslie got down on one knee as she walked up to him, stroking her right hand to her chest.

Then, like dominoes, everyone fell to their knees.

This was the etiquette used on a special occasion when meeting the supreme leader of the royal family, and Kenwo remembered the instructions of his etiquette teacher when he taught this action.

I also had a day when I used this etiquette. He thought excitedly.

The old man trembled and lifted his grandson, his slow and laborious movements made it impossible to believe that he had once been one of the three chiefs of the imperial city.

Then Chalmer and his party stood first, and everyone followed them to their feet.

Ulduar slowly moved in the direction of the flames, his skin flushed like a cooked prawn.

Leslie followed a little further back on his side. His two arms, where he had just been touched by his grandfather's hands, had been burned with several large holes in his clothes as if they had been burned by cigarette butts, and the skin there was also a little red—if it had just come into contact with an ordinary person, he would have been burned immediately.

Ulduar kept his eyes on the flames in the center of the platform.

"Leslie, my child. "The voice was low.

"Yes. ”

"Have you ever seen that the person who saluted just now did several things wrong. ”

As he spoke, Ulduar chuckled a few times, and spat out the white steam produced by the high temperature.

"Yes. Will let them correct it later. ”

"Don't be so low, child, this is not a sad occasion, as the descendants of the flame, it should be a great honor for us to return to the flame, and the same is true for the successors of the fire, you should remember. ”

The old man's voice became extremely hoarse.

"Yes. ”

"Alright, you just stop here. ”

Leslie stopped near the flames and looked at his grandfather, the previous leader of the royal family, walking straight towards the flames.

Ulduar stopped just a finger's walk from the flames, sat down on his knees, and closed his eyes. His skin was getting redder, and his clothes were wrinkled by the heat.

His gray hair gradually turned back to red, like the color of the flame in front of him.

Then his hair began to burn.

"Ahem......"

Ulduar's mouth opened in anguish and whispered a royal hymn to the flames and to his ancestors.

As if instructed to do so, all the red robes began to chant in a low voice.

But Ulduar didn't last long, he gave up his kneeling position, and fell to the ground in pain, not only his hair, but also his clothes burned because of the heat, and Ulduar had become a burning man at this time.

"Ahh......h

He screamed in pain, and his closed eyes opened, but only one dark socket remained, and his eyes had long since been burned out.

Then flames burst out of his eyes, out of his mouth, from all his pores.

The red robe was still singing, the black robe was silent, and the whole high platform was only a low and neat chant and Ulduar's screams.

The color of the flames on Ulduar's body gradually changed, from the original color to the color of the eternal fire not far from him.

The flames on his body seemed to be attracted, converging towards the eternal flame.

By the time all the flames had been absorbed, all that remained of the black ash where Ulduar had been before.

Kenwo stared blankly at the ashes in front of him, long gone, his excitement and anticipation were gone.

Will I be like this pile of ashes in the future?
