Chapter Twenty-Six: The Journey of Misery
The waves do not stop, the wind whimpers, and the sound of a flute is ethereal and long, like a heavenly sound, coming from afar, exciting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jacob thought the music was so beautiful and appealing that he suddenly woke up from his sleep.
After waking up for a moment, I looked far away, and saw that above the sea, the sky was like ink, and only the fish belly was faintly white in the east, and it was about to dawn. And Jacob looked round about himself, but he saw that the four wildernesses were so silent that he could not tell where the sound of music had come from. Natasha beside her was still resting quietly, her hairy eyelashes drooping and her eyebrows stretched.
Suddenly, the flute suddenly increased, and it was hard to wash away, like a pine wave, and ten thousand winds were born, and then the rhyme became dull and harsh, deafening.
By this time, the sound had reached a point where it could not be ignored in any way, but Natasha was still asleep peacefully, seemingly undisturbed by it.
"Wake up, wake up......," Jacob noticed something strange and shook Natasha lightly.
It's just that the sleeping Gentile woman didn't react, but only fell asleep by herself, breathing steadily, and her face was peaceful.
What the hell is going on? Could it be that there is a trick in this flute to induce people to fall asleep? But why is it that only Natasha can't sleep for a long time at this time, but she is not affected.
Jacob's heart was full of doubts. Although when he was in the Knights before, he was always rough, rampage, and reckless. But after experiencing the tribulation of life and death, he has naturally matured a lot.
As he was thinking, the rhythm of the flute turned sharply down, and it was sad and lonely, endless.
The music was so familiar that it stirred up waves in Jacob's heart, and he couldn't help but listen to it and follow the sound, which came from the forest behind him. The memory was peeled off with the music, and pictures followed, "The smoke and waves are around, the windows are shadowed, the red array is falling, and the flute is sounding", it turned out to be my father's song!
There is no mistake, it is the music composed by Alessande Henry, "The Journey of Misery"! Every year on snowy nights, my father would sit by the fire in the house for a long time, with empty eyes and a lonely expression. With just a glass of wine, I slowly played this piece alone.
Thinking of the past, Jacob could no longer hold back his excitement, and his heart trembled violently, and no one in the world knew about this piece except old Henry.
If this is the case, then his father must still be alive, and even his mother is probably still alive!
But Jacob didn't care about that, he was now afraid that the flute of the "Misery" would stop abruptly and leave him with no trace to follow.
Then he held down the horse in a hurry, jumped up, took the reins, and was about to go into the black forest, but the horse was already frightened beforehand, and because of the fierceness of the woods, the smell of blood came to his face. The emaciated yellow-brown motley came to a halt outside the woods.
"Ride, go, Bright Moon?" Jacob was so anxious that he mistakenly called the name of his car, and he was indifferent to the motley horse, no matter how hard he kicked it in the stomach.
"Bastard, rubbish. Jacob scolded and got off the horse, kicked it angrily, and sighed in his heart that it would be nice if the moon was white at this moment. As he was thinking, there was a faint sound of rustling in the forest in front of him, as if a human was walking.
This is the forest of the far north, a fierce place, full of monsters and wild beasts, and ordinary people avoid it.
So in the faint light, Jacob looked in the direction of the sound, and there was indeed a black figure moving between the mountains and forests.
"Hey, hello, please wait......" Jacob walked towards the figure.
When the figure heard Jacob's voice, his body shook, and he obviously stopped for a moment, and then the sound of the flute also stopped, and then slowly turned his head and glanced at it hurriedly, and then quickly quickened his pace, and the sound of the flute rose melodiously again, wandering with the figure.
"Huh...... Please wait!"
At the moment, Jacob could not care so much, he quickened his pace and hurried after him, and the sound of the flute came from this person's body, and there could be no mistake.
"I am Jacob...... Please wait...... Don't run......!"
The forest is winding, overgrown with shrubs, and rocks from outside the sky stand with pestles, poisonous snakes, and insects can be seen everywhere. Jacob struggled to chase the figure, and after a few times he was out of breath, but the man ran faster and faster, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and the sound of the flute was melodious, as if he was very familiar with the terrain of this place.
At this moment, Lin Sheng was exhausted, his legs and feet were weak, and he already had doubts about the identity of that person in his heart. I don't think that person should be my father, and my father can't know anything about this kind of ghostly place. Thinking of this, he lost his strength for a moment and sat down paralyzed.
"Hey...... I'm not chasing you anymore...... You're not looking for someone to win. ”
Now the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sound of the flute paused, and he walked in his own direction again, and the sound of footsteps clattering on the dense bushes.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jacob's mouth, although he said so just now, he was very unconvinced in his heart, even if this person was not his father, he must be a person who had a lot of connections with his father, even if it was an irrelevant person, Jacob didn't want to let him go.
I've been walking like a monkey for such a big time, do you think I'm a spinning top?
So, without saying anything, Jacob had secretly gathered his strength, and after silently reciting the word "voleagedia", his whole body was already wrapped in pure white smoke, and his left hand was lightly placed on the deer song, ready to deal with the next moment of variability.
"Squeak...... The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, about three meters away, Jacob's eyes were clear, and the power of the cross veins could no longer be suppressed, and his right hand was on the ground, and his whole body slapped up, only to see the white gas rising from his boots, and an arrow step towards the figure.......
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the man's eyes, and when the man saw the situation, he stood upright and did not move. In the face of James's actions, he remained indifferent.
"Suffer death!"
Jacob felt offended, so he shouted loudly, drew his sword, and stabbed at the figure.
Previously, the forest was covered with fog and black smoke, and nothing could be distinguished, but now the sky was getting brighter, and the distance between Jacob and the man was already very close, coupled with the bleak light from the sword body of Lu Ge.
The man's face was completely recognizable:
White-haired, pale-faced, blue-eyed, and not angry, it was Jacob's father, Alexandre Henry!
But Jacob's giant sword had been released, Lu Ge was heavy and embarrassed, and with the full swing of his cross vein, it was difficult to retract his strength.
"Ah...... Nope!"
※※※
Woo...... Woo...... Woo
A long whistle of the ship sounded from afar, distant, nothing.
The sky is clear, the gate of heaven is wide open, a round of dazzling red sun from the sea, surfaced, only to see the red Zhu Dantong, the glow of ten thousand ways, magnificent.
Dawn.
Natasha slowly woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes in a trance, wiped her face with water, and didn't expect to sleep so heavily last night.
In the distance, there was a small old Kirk sailing ship floating on the sea, with a simple large crosssail, the hull was short and wide, and the curved shape extended to the high ends. There is a bronze serpentine statue in the bow of the ship, which is quite characteristic of a Viking ship, and the appearance is terrifying, and it is slowly sailing towards the shore.
At this time, the sea breeze was blowing, the canvas was wide open, and the deck was full of people, and the honest sailors jumped up and down merrily, and the trumpets were constantly sounding.
Natasha felt a burst of joy in her heart.
"Jacob, Jacob, the ship we've been waiting for is here!"
"Jacob?" Seeing that no one answered, Natasha's heart tightened, and she looked around, only to find that there was no one around, and Jacob was gone!
"Jacob, Jacob, where are you ......?"

"Strange Sick Wizard" knowledge popularization:
The Cog is also a type of galley in Northern Europe, which was widely used in the 10th and 12th centuries. Unlike the Viking longship, the Kirk sailing ship was a little more advanced than the Viking ship, the sail changed from auxiliary to main power, and the hull was round and short, which improved stability and cabin capacity, and was suitable for cargo ships. Kirk sailing ships were also influenced by the use of flat rudders by Chinese sailing ships, equipped with stern rudders in the straight stern, and later raised the bow and stern, adding bows and arrows, catapults, catapults and other equipment, which were used as escort and combat at sea.
