Chapter 21: Old Henry's Dream (Part II)—Fire
As soon as the brown-haired woman's voice fell, the blizzard suddenly increased.
Old Henry only felt that the light in front of him was getting weaker and weaker, and the range of vision was getting less and less. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What's going on?
A black haze began to emerge at his feet, gradually enveloping the entire Isle of Bitterness, and old Henry's consciousness became more and more blurred......
......
......
When old Henry opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed, next to his sleeping wife, Kama Henry, and the child resting in the next room.
My mind was in a mess, how could I suddenly come back here? I was originally in a tree hole with Rebecca, I went to Bitter Island at first, and now I actually returned to my own home.
However, this is also excellent, and I am afraid that such a stable scene will never be seen again in the future, and even dreaming is a luxury.
The moon was like water, and it softly burrowed into the house. There was silence, only the chirping of small insects and the slight movement of wind and grass. Old Henry rolled over, he stroked the cross oath tattooed on his chest, and the familiar meditation crept into his mind again:
The light of the eye, the iron ride the heart of the stone.
The sword of my generation, the soul of my generation, the bones of my generation,
By today's vows,
I will not have a wife, I will not have children, I will not be a fief, I will not enjoy glory.
If you die alone, you will fight to the death.
......
Ever since the Paladin's oath, your life, your soul, and your sword will always be loyal to God.
From the moment the oath of "If you die alone, you will fight to the death" was engraved on the chest of the knights of the Knights of the Holy Light, old Henry was destined to be unable to marry and have children. At this point, it is impossible to get out of the way.
If a knight of the Order wants to break his oath, he is considered an apostate, a rebel, and a heretic. He will be punished to death, without any leniency.
Old Henry recalls his experience after escaping from Bitter Island, and every scene is as if it were yesterday.
Countless brothers died on the island of Bitter at the behest of the Pope, and his heart began to change after meeting Kama. The first thing he did when he returned to the otherworldly continent was to take Karma on a fast horse heading south, and he rode to the dust. In this way, he broke away from the Knights of the Holy Light, and never looked back.
Thinking of these years ago, the silent memories in old Henry's mind became clever creatures again, even though he and Kama formed an ordinary family and lived an ordinary life for more than ten years. But this night, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and this uneasiness was violent.
A taut drum on one side.
As he was thinking, old Henry found that the air in the room had unconsciously become warm, and it was originally a comfortable cool night, but at this time, his robe actually fit tightly with the sweat.
"It's so hot!" even his wife, who had always been asleep, turned over with a whisper.
Then old Henry began to feel strange, and he rose from the darkness, looked around sleepily, and saw a flickering golden light coming from the crack in the door of the children's room.
Old Henry was startled, and quickly jumped out of bed, quickened his pace, and ran straight towards the door.
The closer he got to the door, the warmer old Henry felt, and his heart was beating to his throat, until he touched the hot deadbolt, and knew that it was all over, as he had expected, and the Knights had finally come to the door, and a fiery pain struck his body.
"Holy shit, it's on fire!" he kicked the damn door hard, but it didn't move, "Ahhh
Kama Henry only then woke up from his sleep, "Why is it so hot!"
"It's on fire!!, the children are trapped inside!" Henry roared in a hoarse throat.
"How is that possible!" Karma cried as she ran towards the door.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and from time to time flames burst out of the cracks in the door, crackling.
"You go, it's too dangerous here, go outside, I'll save the child!"
Old Henry's mind was in a mess, he lost his mind, he kicked the damn door desperately, he hadn't used the Knights' cross veins for more than ten years now, but he couldn't care so much at this time.
"Voleagedia!" Old Henry gathered the power of the Cross Vein and struck the door with all his might, and the door frame was torn apart.
In that small room, it was already in ruins, and the raging fire was overwhelming, except for two small black figures huddled in the corner of the room, crying.
Old Henry's heart was in a hurry, and without saying a word, he took his air shield, rushed in with an arrow, tucked one child under his arm, and turned to pull the other child away.
There was a boom, and the child couldn't pull it, only to find that half of the child's body had been pressed by a beam, and the child was grinning in pain but didn't shout, and his eyes were full of horror.
Bang bang bang.
The fire had spread to the outside of the house, and the air circulating after opening the door made the fire more and more intense, and the house was about to collapse.
"Father, save my brother...... Save my brother......"
It's just that Old Henry hasn't used the Cross Xuan Vein for many years, and the qi shield on his body is dissipating rapidly, and in just a moment, he will be buried in this sea of fire. But the elder Henry could not give up his flesh and blood, and he tried to make a final attempt to save his beloved youngest son, John Henry.
Rumble.
Countless wooden blocks and stones began to fall, and the whole house was about to collapse.
Old Henry felt that his sanity was becoming more and more blurred, his cross veins were rapidly evaporating, and the power of the desolation and the qi shield on his body were rapidly dissipating.
"Henry, come out quickly!" Karma's screams pulled the dazed old Henry back from the line of death.
At last he gathered the last of his strength, leaped out of the sea of fire, and finally slammed into the stone face.
When old Henry looked back, his house had been completely engulfed in a sea of fire, and the fierce flames were like a fierce dragon.
"No!" he hissed, "John is still in there!"
"Mother...... My chest hurts......" whispered little Jacob, who had escaped death, in his mother's arms.
Without saying a word, Karma quietly stroked Jacob's hair, a lake of sorrow in her eyes.
......
......
......
"John ......"
Old Henry woke up from his dream, and the corners of his eyes were moist.
"Bitter Island, Kama, John, Jacob......" He mourned the names in a daze, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.
What's more, I actually had two dreams in one night, such a real dream. And it's all things that have happened to you.
The scenes that had happened were gnawing at his old soul at this time, and a burning hatred burst out from the bottom of his heart, covering the sorrow in his heart.
! Knights, cruel animals, dare to claim the name of God!
How much has he contributed to the Order over the decades?Desperate allegiance, single-handedly killing the Lord of the Triumvirate, Bitter Island summoning the Calvary Army to strangle the Vikings, and now he just wants a simple and stable life. As a result, he wandered around for the rest of his life, always evading the pursuit of the Crusaders, and he couldn't imagine that in the end, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of this group of hypocritical grandchildren.
First, John, who burned his youngest son to death with extreme fire, then summoned a rabble and shot his wife with an arrow.
This seed of pain was planted in old Henry's heart and bore the fruit of hatred.
Thinking of this, a terrifying smile appeared on the corner of Old Henry's mouth.
A thought had entered his head by this time, yes, a bunch of brutes! False gods! False Pope! He was going to destroy the Knights! If he couldn't destroy the Knights, then replace it.
"Wake up, hey, fledgling, get up, it's already dawn, get up and practice the sword......"
"Hmm?......" Lin Sheng looked sleepy-eyed, "What happened to the seniors? Why do you want to practice swords!"
"Fledgling, do you remember the last time you told me about the witch god?"
Lin Sheng's eyes showed a hint of hope, and he nodded vigorously.
"I think, I've remembered, I can help you find that witch god together. ”
