Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Elegy from the Sky

"Well, very good, the only thing that can make them bad is the end of the world that will cause Yara to collapse. Pannis said: "A few days ago, I responded to their call to help the Winged Terrans, and I saw them a few times, and they were still so active, and in a hundred years, they didn't become mature at all, and they still flew around when they were excited, and they would still be whipped by their wings if they were too close to them, and by the way, their wings would still lose their hair, and they often destroyed their feathers everywhere in the room, and they were firmly glued to the silk fabric, and when they wanted to clean them, they still picked them up one by one, and they couldn't be cleaned." ”

"That's nice. Christo's voice, so faint that he could only be heard lying in front of him, heard Pannis's narration, the old goblin's eyes opened weakly, and he said in a tone that could not tell whether he was talking to himself or whispering: "They should be like this, always enthusiastic and unrestrained, always lively and active, floating and unpredictable like clouds in the sky, if not so, if not so, if not so, they would have lost their most unique charm." ”

"Unique charm? Hehe, maybe. Pannis pursed his lips and muttered: "In my opinion, it's just two dead children who haven't grown up yet, the most unique thing is that it's a prank, and it's a prank regardless of time and occasion, you must try to torture everyone to cry and laugh, and you can't bear to beat them, is this their unique charm?"

"Hahaha......ha The old goblin hissed for a while, leaned weakly on the pillow, and whispered: "It seems that the time is up, I can feel that the vitality of life is sneaking away from my body little by little, I am really a little sleepy, I don't want to continue to support." I think maybe it's better to leave here and leave with dignity, you say, Kyle. ”

Pannis gently patted Christo's arm with a complicated expression, and whispered: "Since you feel tired, then sleep in peace, don't be afraid, I will watch you sleep here, accompany you to the last part of the road, sleep in peace." ”

"Kyle is Kyle, he never lets his friends down and can always handle some problems. Christo muttered: "I've always been afraid of loneliness, although I keep hiding it, but you actually know it very well, that's why you're here with me, just worried that I will feel lonely along the way." ”

"Not exactly. Pannis still kept smiling, but there was indescribable emotion in his smile: "My old friend is leaving, as a partner for many years, how can I not come to accompany you through the last leg of the road and send you on this last journey?"

"Hehehe, yes, yes. The old goblin's vision was blurred, and with his memory he reached out and groped for a while on the low cabinet at the head of the bed, and Pennis bit his lip tightly, and quietly reached out and pushed the crystal gun on the low cabinet, and sent it to the old goblin's hand. Christo didn't notice Pannis's movements, felt that he had found what he was looking for, smiled with satisfaction, and took his favorite weapon and held it in his arms. Although it has gone through countless years of baptism, the crystal gun is maintained as good as new, with a smooth metal surface, every centimeter with a soft metallic luster, obviously its owner even in the end, does not forget to sit on the bed every day to wipe it clearly. Christo picked up the Crystal Gun, which used to be as easy and natural as breathing, but now it became extremely difficult, the Crystal Gun, which was originally flexible and like a part of his body, was now extremely heavy, making it a little difficult for the old goblin to hold, but he was still very happy to hold it, like a child holding his favorite toy. Holding it is like hugging the countless nostalgic and nostalgic memories of the past, holding it is like hugging the people who have always been concerned and unforgettable, holding it is like hugging the feelings that can only be savored when no one is around, holding it, like hugging everything you once had.

"It's so cold today, like the morning at the top of light and darkness. Christo closed his eyes, his old face was faintly melancholy, and his voice was faintly like talking to himself: "I really want to drink another cup of mountain lotus tea, I really want to hear the sound of wings flapping again." ”

The next moment, the light shines. Black and white, two rays of light fell from the sky, the roof seemed to no longer exist, black and white light fell from above, spilled into the room through the roof, the light was soft and soothing, one left and one right on both sides of the old goblin, gentle as sympathetic to the embrace of the world. With a faint light, a burst of singing came from the sky, and the lyrics could not be heard clearly, but the melody of the song was tactful and sad, and with a power to soothe the soul, the majestic power of light and darkness, and the song penetrated the roof, came from the sky, and descended over the barrier of space to this small room, to the old goblin on the hospital bed. Along with the song, there was the sound of wings flapping, and the black and white feathers formed by the energy fell from the sky, making the small courtyard look like a colorful rain.

Outside the courtyard, dozens of people gathered at the door, stunned to see this strange scene in front of them, many of them didn't know what this meant, but it did not prevent them from feeling the unconcealed powerful energy from the demigods, with a natural majesty in the energy, so that the group of people around the courtyard couldn't help but bow down and offer their humility to the unknown powerhouse. The five girls of the adventure group were still waiting at the door, and at this time they also walked out of the carriage, although they didn't know what was happening, but looking at the light and falling feathers in front of them, listening to the song in their ears, they couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in their hearts.

If you look farther, you can see that the professionals of the entire capital of knowledge, whether strong or weak, feel this energy from the sky at this moment, and the music in their ears can hear the mournful song with sadness and reluctance, and the song of holiness with sadness falling from the sky, like an elegy from the sky.

"Oh, they're here. The old goblin barely opened his eyes, and even the simplest of movements seemed to exhaust all his strength: "I hear the flapping of wings again, and I smell the breath from the sky again, they are coming." ”

"Yes, here they are. Pannis stood up, sensing two energies that were getting closer and closer, and said softly, "Children of light and darkness, coming from the sky with falling light feathers, don't you want to see them again?"

"Heh, heh, heh. The old goblin smiled weakly, his wrinkled face filled with the last joy, "Kyle, you really never let your friends down, thank you." ”

The poignant singing came to an abrupt end, and the sound of wings flapping suddenly intensified, followed by the sound of crystal shattering, and two figures smashed through the windows of the room, suddenly appearing in the small room. Pannis patted Christo's hand one last time, exchanged glances with the two girls who had arrived, and slowly exited the room.

With a "squeak", the gate of the small courtyard slowly opened inward, and Pannis walked out of the courtyard and slowly returned to the five girls of the adventure group.

"How's it going, Pannis. As a student of Christo, Freya asked most anxiously, "Is the situation inside okay?"

"His old friend came to visit him. Pannis said lightly, "Freya, you go to Renee's room and stay with her for a while, and then ...... I think you two will be busy in the next few days. ”

Freya seemed to understand a little, frowned tightly, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, and walked back to the courtyard with a lot of heart.

"As for a few of us. Pannis sighed deeply, rubbed his fingers on his eyebrows, and said tiredly, "Let's go home." ”

Catherine bit her lip and thought about it, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Pannis gently, patted him gently on the back and said, "Don't be sad, don't be sad, we will still be by your side, everything will pass." ”

"yes, everything will pass. Pannis murmured, clasped his hands together and hugged Catherine to signal that he was fine: "Don't worry, I've seen a lot of these, and I won't be so fragile." ”

"Yes. Catherine let go of her hand and smiled comfortingly, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Re-boarding the carriage, the silence in the carriage returned, and Pannis sat by the window with his chin propped up, staring out the window at the night, not knowing what he was thinking. The girls knew the sadness in his heart, and they were very considerate that no one spoke, but silently stayed by his side, comforting his heart with their presence.

In silence, the carriage made its way down the road, and when it first stepped onto Fox Street, a long bell rang in the night. When the bell rang, a gust of early winter wind blew through the street, and the cold wind blew through the treetops beside the roadside, and the last few dead leaves on the branches of the trees finally fell in the wind and were sent by the cold wind to an unknown distance.

"It's so cold today. Listening to the bells ringing in his ears and looking at the dead leaves drifting in the wind in front of him, Pannis, with a complicated expression, let out a heavy sigh, as if he wanted to vent all his countless emotions through this sigh.

One, two, three, no one spoke, only the long bells, which kept echoing in the cold night.

At 20:17 p.m. on November 3, 3692 in the continental calendar, one of the former heroes, a demimarksman of the goblin clan, a master illusionist, and a top scholar of the mechanical school, Christo Tesla, died of illness in his house in the capital of knowledge in a neutral place, at the age of one hundred and sixty-nine.
