Chapter 55: Justification
Until the ship landed in the flight port of Odin City, Brian did not see the blind man again.
But for Brian, it was just a small episode of the journey.
Returning to Odin City after almost twenty days, Brian clearly felt that the city was much less gloomy than when he had left.
After all, at that time, Odin City heard that most of the main forces of Odin Academy were trapped in the Warcraft Forest, and if something happened to these people, it would not only be a fatal blow to Odin Academy, but Odin City would also have a dull face.
Fortunately, the crisis was resolved in time. Although there are no small losses, it is undeniable that it is a great victory and one to celebrate.
In addition, the selection competition is approaching, and the whole city is lit up as if it is a festival.
Brian walked all the way to Odin Academy, and on the way, he could see both hawker merchants and patrolling guards, their faces full of excitement and pride.
This emotion almost infected him, and he couldn't help but feel a strange joy.
He knew that it was brought to him by his other half of his soul.
"Should I say you're stubborn?, or should I thank you?" said Brian to himself, not noticing the person who had been shouting his name behind his back.
"Brian!"
It wasn't until the sound got closer and closer that Brian woke up.
He turned around and saw that it was Leo.
At this time, the student of the first branch was twisting a large bag of fruit and looked at him with a look of surprise.
Brian walked over and helped him wring two bags of fruit and asked, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"I should have said that. Leo looked Brian up and down carefully a few times before asking, "Holy Sacrifice Temple...... You're all right, right?"
"It's fine. Brian shook his head, but didn't tell Leo about the seal.
"Why are you buying so much fruit when you're not preparing for the tryouts at this time?" asked Brian as he followed Leo in the other direction.
"It's for Andy theirs. Leo walked and walked, and suddenly he said, "What should I call you now?" Brian? or some other name?"
"Just Brian, it's my name in this world now. Obviously not wanting to continue on the topic, Brian asked rhetorically, "Aren't they at the academy for Andy?"
"Not anymore. Leo's tone suddenly sank: "If you live in the academy, it may cause them inconvenience. ”
Brian could hear Leo's tone of voice, and he vaguely seemed to guess something.
After the two didn't say a word, Brian followed Leo out of the hustle and bustle of the East Town, and after a few rounds, came to a bungalow.
"Knock. ”
Leo knocked on the door twice quietly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the rest of the people in the room.
It didn't take long for the door to slowly open.
Brian was greeted by a strange and familiar face.
From the outside, this person looks very much like Andy, but unlike the one that Brian saw before, this person's face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, and his head is full of gray hair.
"Andy?" Brian asked in disbelief.
"Oh, it's Brian, long time no see. The old man's voice sounded a little hoarse, but Brian could still hear that the person in front of him was Andy, who had been assisting Leo in his prophecy?
Leo obviously knew that Andy had become like this, but whenever he saw Andy's old and decrepit appearance, his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of self-blame and pain, but he knew that nothing could be changed now.
"I brought some fruit, are they still sleeping upstairs?"
"Well, let's go in first. Andy stepped out of the way before Leo and Brian walked in.
There is no carved porcelain jade in the house, and it looks unpretentious, except for a few simple wooden chairs and a table.
When Andy came in, he stepped aside to wash the fruit.
Looking at Andy's waist, which he couldn't straighten up all the time, Brian turned to look at Leo and asked, "This is the price of your last prophecy?"
"What prophecy overdraws is the life force of the six of us. But I didn't expect Andy to take the initiative to bear most of the cost. Leo looked down, but Brian saw the guilt on his face.
"They wanted to keep your share of combat power at that time, after all, they are not magicians, and there is no way to enter the dark canopy. Brian thought about it and guessed what Andy really thought.
"But......" Leo was about to say something while he was about to say something, but was abruptly interrupted by Andy, who had already walked back.
"Nothing, Leo, it was the only right choice at the time. Andy put down the washed fruit, patted Leo on the shoulder, and said:
"As long as you have time to come back and see us 'bad old men,' we'll be satisfied. ”
Leo was silent, then got up and walked upstairs.
"I'll go up and take a look at them. ”
"This guy still doesn't want others to see his cowardly side. Andy shook his head with a smile and sat down.
"Andy, I have a question for you. After a moment's hesitation, Brian asked.
Andy didn't answer immediately, but picked up an apple, put it in his hand, and watched quietly.
The contrast between the green apple and the withered right hand is stark.
On one side is the fruit of life, and on the other side is the hand of twilight that is about to decay.
Andy then took a bite and asked, "You want to ask, why am I doing this?"
"I know you made the right choice, but I don't understand why you did it. Brian nodded and said truthfully.
"Why?" Andy chuckled and raised his head, even though his face was wrinkled at this time, even though his voice was low and hoarse, Brian could clearly see that the beating flames in Andy's eyes had never been extinguished!
"Need a reason for the sake of Odin City?"
Brian fell silent.
This sentence, this tone, he seems to have heard it somewhere.
Is it the light wings in the Warcraft Forest that suddenly spread their wings, or the meteor that flashes out on switch 6?
Brian nodded knowingly, looked up at Andy again, and said:
"I think I'm starting to get a little bit of it. ”
