Chapter 175: Parents' Hearts
"But we have never forgotten. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe have much longer lives than humans and orcs. It also lets us know that in fact, the ultimate demise is not too far away. In the reproduction and inheritance of generations, the orcs gradually forgot this. However, we who have seen their strongest moments and realized their current decline will not forget. The Horned Dragon King looked around at the land in front of him, and although there was lush grass and all kinds of active critters, in his eyes, it was a lifeless place of death.
"Before you know it, they've become more and more declining. The Minotaur warrior who once roared so much that even the dragons trembled was now unable to hunt a wolf alone. And the goblins who can fly over the pillars of ice and snow in airships are now almost unsure of how to make gears. The Horned Dragon King's voice was full of sorrow: "Actually, it's not just them. We, too, the former Horned Dragon King, can change the landscape with earth-based magic. Now, you can't even build a house with too much detail. Do you know that in the past, the ceratosaurus could communicate with humans, but now, because of the decline in strength, only by meeting you humans who are proficient in beast language can we learn about other tribes? ”
"For other races, these changes are subtle and not easily noticeable. But for us, the change is really shocking. If this deterioration continues, in another thousand years, there will be groups of primitive people who have forgotten even their language on the barren plains. ”
The words of the Horned Dragon King made Li Mo feel a wave of sadness. Although I haven't experienced it myself, I can imagine from the description that since the moment I was born, I have seen the people around me, as well as other races that once fought side by side with my fathers, slowly decline. As time went on, each race fell, and they didn't even notice it.
Perhaps, one day, people here will slowly forget their past and the glory of their ancestors. Eventually, they will forget their own culture, their own language, their own history, and become primitive people who drink blood. And the Hidden Alliance, as well as the gods, and these people who have worked hard for this, will be like castles built with sand, washed by time, disappearing without a trace, and no one will even mention this past.
And the Horned Dragon King, who has been witnessing all this, is different from Victoria, he rarely even meets anyone who can be mentioned. Because, even if he is loudly reminding the people in front of him, don't indulge in the illusion in front of you and wait for destruction. That, too, will only be regarded as the roar of a beast, indifferent.
What kind of sadness and loneliness will this be. Li Mo suddenly felt that under the strong appearance of the Horned Dragon King, there was a bloody heart that had been suppressed to the extreme and lonely to the extreme.
"Ceratosaurus can't just die in silence, we've known that for a long time. The Horned Dragon King's voice began to become hoarse, he didn't expect that he would actually talk so much to Li Mo. Damn, I'm here today to talk about joining Thor's hammer, why, after a worried question, I told him everything that was hidden in my heart?
"Ceratosaurus once wanted to fight, but without the slightest certainty, it can only make us perish faster. But now it's different, and we feel that the opportunity has now arisen. The Horned Dragon King looked at Li Mo in front of him, as if he wanted to map the anger and unwillingness in his heart to Li Mo's heart through his eyes: "John, you are the person I have seen, who is most likely to unite everyone and find a way out for us. And, now, we have a new member of the ceratosaurus. ”
The Horned Dragon King looked at his son, who was still babbling and shouting in Li Mo's arms, "I think with your help, we will have more new members to come to this world in the future." I could not bear, and I could not allow my son, the son of my people, to suffer such oppressive pain as we did. It is enough for us to bear the suffering, this is our last effort, and we would rather put everything on the table to buy a future for our children. ”
Li Mo looked at the Horned Dragon King who couldn't stop pacing in front of him because of his excitement, and after pondering for a moment, Li Mo asked softly: "Hey, Black Rabbit, you are so sure that I am the one who can lead you to victory?" To be honest, I myself am not sure of this. ”
The Horned Dragon King looked at Li Mo: "I'm not sure, no one in this world can be sure that victory will happen." Not even God. But you're the most likely person, aren't you? We can't wait any longer, and now, you're here again. Yes, we decided to follow you in the hope of victory so that our children can live happily, but even if we fail, we have no regrets. At least, if we work hard for the class and for each of the little horned dragons after that, and fail, they will not endure such oppressive suffering like us again. Believe me, this kind of day is really better than death. ”
Li Mo looked at the Horned Dragon King, his eyes were a little divergent, as if he had thought of something far away.
"Lao Li, why do you want to pick up this child? You can't support yourself, can you raise him well? It's better to give it to someone else. At least, the child can have a good family, and you don't have to be so tired anymore. ”
"Yes, Lao Li, you are so old, to put it mildly, what should this child do if one day?"
This was when he was in elementary school, and when Li Mo came home from school, he secretly overheard the conversation between the old lady in the neighborhood and his grandfather.
Just when he couldn't help but run out, crying to his grandfather not to leave him as before, he heard his grandfather's voice.
"Hehe, I asked Xiao Mo about this child, and he said that he would not leave me even if he died. You didn't see it, and my heart broke when the boy was crying. Alas, this is fate, since this child was met by me, and he is unwilling to leave, then I will fight this old bone and raise him as an adult. My grandson will definitely not be as unproductive as me in the future. Xiao Mo, this kid, is really sensible, the only thing I can't worry about is him. If in case, I die before Xiao Mo grows up, I have to ask you elders to bother more, don't let this kid go down the wrong path. That way, I don't have any regrets....."
What Grandpa said later, Li Mo had forgotten. He only remembered that when it was dark, when his grandfather had cooked his meal and came out anxiously to look for himself. Having wiped away his tears, he threw himself into his grandfather's arms with a smile, and since then, he has never shed tears in front of him again.
"Alas, pity the hearts of parents all over the world~~~"
