Chapter 321: The Beginning
The light seemed to be amplified little by little, and the warmth gradually spread across the sky, and the soft grass blew with the breeze and made a whirring sound, like a newly-awakened baby stretching its limbs, trying to cry out of its fragile throat to represent life.
Although the cry was slight, it woke up the boy lying on the grass, and the boy opened his eyes a little impatiently, and was greeted by the warm morning sun and the blue sky, and the gentle breeze and the beautiful sound of insects were sent to his ears.
"Tianxi, Tianxi!" the young man straightened up, his white palms supporting his body, and the soft touch made the young man unable to bear to get up immediately.
The boy seemed to be looking for his friend, but in front of him was only an endless grassland and a blue sky, and the occasional flying bird left only a black trail in the boy's eyes, and then covered by white clouds.
"Tianxi?" the boy was already a little irritable, but someone still didn't respond to the boy's shout, as if the boy was playing the role of a see-boek-a-boo, hiding in the endless greenery.
The young man, who did not receive a response, finally stood up, although the soft grass was very comfortable, but for the young man, the friend called Tianxi, seemed more important.
"If I find it, you'll regret it. The boy's muttering sounded like he was intimidating the invisible friend, but there was no hint of threat in the boy's expression.
"Tianxi, Tianxi!" The young man's voice was infinitely amplified in the empty grassland, and the feeling of loneliness instantly came to his face.
"Is that person important to you?" At some point, a young girl appeared behind the boy, no, it was more appropriate to say that it was just a silhouette of a human figure than a girl, and the silhouette's long hair gave the boy the illusion that the other party was a woman.
"Is that person important to you?" said the silhouette again.
"Of course it's important. The boy replied without thinking.
"That Tina?"
"Nature is also important. ”
"Ellie, Frona and Tatarlie. ”
"Of course it's all important, and Luvia, Elizabeth and Gillie, Melishim, everybody, everybody is important to me. The young man's expression was rare solemn, and he pronounced each name very clearly, even with a solemnity that he had never felt before.
"Yes, they are all important to you, you are greedy, boy. ”
"People are always greedy, aren't they?"
But too much greed eats you. The silhouette seems to be persuading the teenager in front of him to give up these non-existent friends.
"But I've come to this day for such greed, and I need them, Goddess. ”
The young man's voice seemed to bring a gust of spring breeze, and the flying green grass wrapped in the petals of roses surrounded the two of them, and the humanoid silhouette felt the wind blowing, and let out a chuckle for the first time in a long time.
"You're brave. The silhouette was sincerely admired, this was the first time in thousands of years that she praised her own creation, her own people.
"I have to be brave. ”
The boy's answer made Silhouette a little stunned, but soon this stunned was replaced by laughter, and Silhouette liked the boy's answer, or rather she liked her own people for responding to her praise in this way.
"Is this how you live, turning other people's expectations into your own motivation? ”
"Not only the expectations of others, but also their own expectations of themselves, every mortal grows up in one expectation after another, and becomes brave in one expectation. ”
"But isn't that too tiring?"
"I always have to carry something to feel the meaning of life. ”
"Is this the duty, glory, and meaning in your mouth?" the silhouette was a little puzzled, but looking at the determined eyes of the young man in front of her, she finally began to understand that if immortal creatures would never understand why mortals would have such magnificent stories and so many colorful experiences in their short lives.
"Is this the creature I created, I don't seem to be able to keep up with you. ”
The boy didn't know how to respond to the silhouette's emotion, as if the fledgling was about to leave his mother, and the goddess's words made an inexplicable impulse echo in the boy's heart.
"We are always with you. "That's the only way, and that's the only way.
"Thank you, my son, my creation, my pride. ”
The wind suddenly stopped for a moment, and then suddenly rose, and the flying petals rose to the sky, leaving this world with a moving melody, without a trace, and the cut image in front of the young man was carried away by the wind, as if it had never appeared in front of his eyes.
"Goodbye, Goddess, Mother. At that moment, the boy couldn't cry, at that moment, everything lost its color, and at that moment, it was the end of eternity, the new birth of the dawn.
"Master, master!" the familiar cry made the boy stop his sadness, and when the sentimentality faded, the green grassland had turned into a familiar manor, and the blue clear sky had added a few white clouds, and the sun seemed to be so warm, as if it had never changed, but the petals of the rose disappeared with the wind and would never appear again.
"Master, what are you doing in a daze. The little magician Ellie shook her fingers, her big eyes full of worry.
"Nothing, just the weather was so nice today. ”
A snorting sound sounded from the boy's side, and the corners of the maid's eyebrows were full of smiles.
"Are you fascinated, sir?" the maid playfully put the plate in her hand into the young man's hand, and the alluring aroma made the young man finally completely drown out the wisp of flowers.
"I think he's faint from hunger. Tianxi made no secret of her sarcasm for her brother, or that this way of getting along was normal.
"Ahem. Tina, the knightess, wanted the noble daughter of the Richard family to pay attention to her manners, but the cough was not enough to stop her master's sister from putting her cutlery into Miss Tatarlie's plate, who was quietly reading, and taking away a piece of extremely fatty fish.
Gianhi's march attracted the imitation of many people, especially the Holy Lady of the Holy See, Lutil, who of course targeted the Imperial Count Luvia, who was seated with her.
"The Holy Maiden's appetite is really good. Count Luvia couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Lutyr, who was sitting with him, had already put three pieces of roast meat into his mouth.
"The Earl has won the prize. "It seems that this saint will be subordinate to praise, whether it is derogatory or praised.
"Why don't I remember inviting the two of them?" the boy looked at his cousin and the Holy See, his heart full of helplessness.
"I invited it, like you said, it's a good weather, isn't it, good weather should be shared, isn't it?"
"Hey, are you still so stingy, we're all old friends. ”
The boy didn't know how to refute Vivien's definition of an old friend, it seemed that there wasn't much communication between them, but now these people were very familiar with the young man's aristocratic manor, and there was no barrier.
"This is a gift for you, Richard Birmingham. The wind, suddenly sending such a blessing, suddenly Birmingham looked back and saw only the unchanging sky and the warm morning sun.
Nothing has changed, no, or everything has changed, Birmingham didn't know how to evaluate the good or bad of this gift, but he still silently thanked the sky and the rising sun in his heart.
After all, for better or worse, that's another starting point for another story, isn't it.
