Chapter 149: Feathering
"That's it?"
Lynch carefully looked at the flame pattern engraved on Luo Yu's forehead like a tattoo, and then turned his head to look at the old man who was barely standing with a withered ugly wooden cane, and asked in surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes. The old man smiled kindly, but this smile was obviously not reserved for Lynch, he looked at Luo Yu, who was still unconscious, like a grandfather looking at his lovely granddaughter, and said slowly: "She should be able to wake up soon." β
"This flame is a remnant of the destruction of the Eternal Flame. Lynch suddenly said, "Why don't you keep this power for yourself? I think it might be of great help to you, too." β
The old man raised his white and thick eyebrows, and finally moved his clear blue eyes to Lynch's body, and looked at him:
"You're quite savvy. β
Faced with the baptism of the gaze of this well-intentioned and possibly powerful unknown person, Lynch didn't have a feeling of being seen through, he just felt that these blue eyes were quite oppressive when looking at him.
"But it's not always good to know too much," the old man continued, smiling, "especially when you're still young. β
Lynch could only nod his head with an educated look, but he could see that his appearance made the old man very comfortable.
"This is the center of the former Fire City, right?" Lynch asked, "What happened? What monster destroyed the flames, and then you cleaned it up again?"
The old man's bare wooden staff paused on the ground, but it made a heavy thunderous sound, and it was suddenly startled.
"It doesn't do you any good to know so much," he whispered, and his voice suddenly became serious, "Well, you shouldn't stay in this kind of place for too long. β
As he spoke, he raised his bare ugly wooden staff towards Lynch, and the hair all over his body, especially on his face, began to float gradually: "Lift the feather up, and then stand still obediently, and I'll send you back." β
This old man turns his face faster than he can turn a book.
Lynch was guilty in his heart, and then carefully supported Luo Yu under the old man's gaze, feeling the soft and comfortable touch on the girl's slightly cold body.
He couldn't help but look at the girl who was half lying in his arms.
The time spent in New Town was a long time for Lynch. After losing the sense of time, almost all of them are fighting monsters after dealing with a few neuropaths, or the days when they are hunted down are actually very difficult.
In the background of the black fog, which is almost immutable, always on the lookout for monsters and changes that may come suddenly, the nerves that have been tense and the days of hunting monsters, Lynch has long thought about why the person who said that he would come to pick him up has not heard from him for a long time.
No matter what world you are in, there will never be the kind of person who completely abandons himself and revolves around you all the time, and if there is, it is just a puppet in human skin, not enough to call him a human being.
Of course, Lynch understands this truth, and he himself does not want to live in such a cruel world just by hugging his thighs, which is too unrealistic and very ridiculous. So he will always hunt monsters after finding a gathering place.
Because he can't do anything else. Compared to everything that happened here, he was as weak as an ant.
I seem to be taller than Luo Yu.
Lynch looked at the girl dressed in black, watching her satin-like black hair fall on him, and couldn't help but smell the fragrance of the other party, but the thoughts in his heart flew out of the distance.
"Readyβ"
The old man's voice interrupted Lynch's thoughts.
"Thank you. A soft female voice rang in Lynch's ears.
Then all of a sudden, the world was spinning, and before Lynch could even react, the scene around him changed. This feeling was still familiar to him, similar to flickering.
They returned to the Luo Yu family's house.
Lynch looked at Luo Yu, who had come to his senses, and found that the two of them seemed to be a little close. Luo Yu was not embarrassed, he was just looking at Lynch's face with his swarthy eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling.
Lynch reluctantly took away the hand that was still holding the girl.
"Are you awake?" he asked with concern, and was a little embarrassed under the other party's gaze that had been staring at him, "Have you woken up a long time ago?" I just heard you say thank you or something......
Wow, what am I doing?
"That's not to thank you. Luo Yu finally spoke, although his voice was still cold, but Lynch always felt as if he was laughing: "I'm thanking the teacher." β
"Oh, oh, that's right. Lynch nodded, "Teacher?"
"That old man just now," Luo Yu's eyes narrowed, and he stroked his hair like an elegant cat, and then Lynch also noticed that the flame carving engraved on her forehead was missing: "He is Lord Watlier, and he is also my teacher." β
"Oh......" Lynch nodded again, and then suddenly remembered what he should ask now, under the girl's smiling eyes, "And how are you feeling now?"
"I know......" Luo Yu interrupted Lynch's questioning with a smile, and then the expression on his face gradually converged, and returned to his previous expressionless appearance: "It's not my choice, but I don't have a choice, don't worry, Lynch, I'm fine." β
Lynch shrugged his shoulders and said he wouldn't delve into it: "It's okay if you're okay." Then let's go find Ying Lan, she should have the next arrangements on her side. β
The girl's personality seems to have changed somewhat, or she is hiding her emotions in this way. But that's not a bad thing.
Luo Yu nodded lightly: "Wait." β
"Huh?" Lynch, who was about to take the lead in leaving, turned around and walked directly towards Luo Yu: "Hasn't your strength recovered yet?"
"Well......" The girl's expressionless face was a little more helpless: "I'll find a pair of shoes that I can wear first." β
Lynch lowered his head, only then did he notice that the girl was barefoot.
Against the backdrop of the dark ground, the girl's small and white feet looked crystal clear.
I'm not foot controlling.
Lynch told himself, then withdrew his gaze and said to the girl, "Then I'll carry you on my back first." β
......
In this way, hope is still preserved, and the light that represents inheritance and rebirth remains.
The sight from the sky will always be here for him.
The old man stood in the center of the pit, the wooden staff in his hand that supported him gradually withered, and the jewels that had been set on it were long gone.
He slowly closed his eyes, and pieces of rune paper squeezed out of his body, floated through his clothes, in the windless environment, and then turned into dust under the black mist.
"Thank you......"
The old man remembered the girl's words before leaving, and couldn't help but smile faintly on his face.
What a sensible child.
And just like that, as the rune paper fluttered in the air, as if it had been feathered, and then decayed into invisible dust, all that was left was a tattered garment and a wooden staff that looked like it had been damaged a long time ago.
