CHAPTER XVII

On the dying one-eyed giant wolf, Heishui jumped down lightly, caught Bai Yuqi, who was about to fall after the demonic power was exhausted, and praised Miao Qiyue, who was already in tears: "It's handsome to hold on until the last moment." ”

With a heavy blow, Miao Qiyue, who had a big up-and-down from the ghost gate, had a lot of thoughts in his heart at this moment, but at this moment, he just wanted to hold the black water and was unwilling to let go.

Heishui looked at Miao Qiyue, who was covered in blood and hugged herself, and sighed in her heart: It's really embarrassing for her to encounter this kind of thing.

"I hate!" said the one-eyed wolf, who didn't know the scenery, dragging his immobile body. Then he showed a fierce look and said, "Almost! I will almost be able to gain great power to change the world and bring a new path to the world!"

"Boring. "Blackwaterway.

The one-eyed wolf was furious when he heard this, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, "Hmph! You are just born well, if you are in the path of absolute fairness that I have created, what are you!"

"Disgusting. "Heishuidao, for people who don't speak logic, most of the sentences are tired. Obviously I don't understand things at all, I don't understand others, but I can still talk a lot.

The cyclops continued, "In my path, everyone is fair! A fair world is a good world!

"Stop talking, be sober. Heishui interrupted, looked at the cyclops and said in disgust: "You who are dominated by your own lies, what path do you talk about, what beauty you talk about. ”

Heishui picked up Bai Yuqi and Miao Qiyue and left. With his last bit of patience, he reminded: "You are just a criminal who teaches others badly and harms innocents, that's all." ”

Crime can't bring beauty to the world, don't you understand the basic truth?

The badly wounded one-eyed wolf and the little demons tied together were left on this street, waiting for the arrival of the dog and waiting for the judgment of the imperial law.

Night, Qingqiu Grand Inn, Blackwater Room.

Heishui, who had just arrived at home, put Bai Yuqi, who was asleep, on the bed, and worried about Miao Qiyue, who was unusually quiet along the way, "If you have any troubles, you can tell me." ”

Miao Qiyue seemed to have figured it out and said, "Just now, I figured out some things, and I don't have any worries anymore. ”

Heishui was relieved when he heard this, but thinking that Miao Qiyue had just experienced the edge of life and death, he still added: "That's good, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me." ”

"If I ask you a question, will you definitely answer it?" Miao Qiyue asked a strange question with the little Jiujiu in her heart.

"Of course. Heishui replied cheerfully.

Miao Qiyue looked at the eyes of the black water beside her, her body slowly approached, as the distance decreased, her face became redder and redder, and her heartbeat became louder and louder, and finally stopped at the moment when the tip of her nose was about to touch, and said, "I like you." ”

There was surprise on Blackwater's face, he didn't think he was very likable, but he felt that he was ordinary. But after thinking about it, maybe I thought too much, I and Miao Qiyue have known each other for less than a month, it should be that I misunderstood, it should just be the love between friends, and then said: "Me too, I'm very happy to know you." ”

Miao Qiyue shook her head, although she was speechless, her moving eyes were already full of love that she couldn't let go.

This naked affection can be understood even by the most stupid people.

Heishui, who completely understood, was slightly moved, motioned for Miao Qi to sit down, and said, "It's really unexpected." ”

"You know, I've recently noticed that it seems like I'm good at listening to other people's stories. Heishui poured a cup of tea for Miao Qiyue, who was sitting next to him, and said, then took a sip of tea, which was already cold. "This time, it's my turn, please listen to my story. ”

Miao Qiyue looked at Heishui seriously, of course she wanted to know about the past of the person she cared about.

"Actually, I'm from another world, and although it's not as colorful as this, I still think it's just as beautiful. Heishui didn't expect that when he said it again, he wouldn't be sad and wouldn't want to go back.

Looking at Miao Qiyue, who was wide-eyed and surprised, but had no doubts, the corners of Heishui's mouth smiled slightly, and he fell into a recollection: "When I first came to this world, it wasn't good at first. I experienced the helplessness of the language barrier, and realized how miserable it is for the weak to be in this world of the jungle. Luckily, I met a group of really, really good friends who stood up for me and taught me how to read. It was probably the happiest time I had in this world. ”

Heishui paused, after all, memories are always addictive, and said, "But the good times didn't last long, and the war began." I hated war, but I joined the army anyway, for the sake of my friends who had great ideals, and although I had a will to go against my own, I didn't want to lose this community, which is my home here. ”

"I was too weak then. Blackwater's tone was flat, and the story may have decided at the beginning that there was no perfect ending.

"I still regret being weak. But they didn't dislike me at the time, and they always liked to pat me on the shoulder and comfort me, don't be afraid. In the early days, perhaps fortunately, the war did not intensify. But the good times didn't last long, and as time went on, hatred grew from them, and the battlefield began to become brutal. And my friends will inevitably die on the battlefield, after all, even if you have big dreams, you are just ordinary people, and you are just an insignificant soldier. In war, life is so cheap. ”

Miao Qiyue grabbed Kurosui's hand, and there was comfort and a faint apology in her eyes. Even the listener, even in a bland tone, can feel the sadness of the time.

Heishui shook his head and smiled, "It's an honor for them to comfort me that the warrior died on the battlefield, and now that I think about it, it's right, so it's not sad about this matter." It's just a pity that I didn't understand it at the time. ”

"Back in the day, it was night, and I can still remember the fire in the barracks clearly. Heishui looked at the dancing flames on the candles, and the picture of that night seemed to be right in front of him. "The enemy is taking advantage of the darkness to sneak attack, well... It was a beautiful sneak attack, no one could have noticed it, and no one could have expected it. The shattered brazier, the burning tent, the screams in my ears, just took away my last friends. ”

"I wasn't smart, I was stupid. Blackwater laughed at himself, if I go back to that time now.... , just if.

"I don't have the kind words of my friends anymore. I hate the enemy, I hate the unprepared officers, I hate myself. I started to put on a mask, a mask of losing myself. It made me stand out from my fears, and it made me feel strong. In this way, my status was quickly improved, and I felt like an executioner at that time, and every time I swung a knife, it was justice. ”

"Until one time. Heishui's expression grew serious. "We passed through a very small village that day, and I still remember the image of that time. They actually used the inhumane virus on an innocent civilian, a village of no strategic significance! That was revenge! In the face of the tragedy, the cruel decision became the right answer, burning to prevent it from spreading. And I found a dying man in the midst of the sea of corpses ready to burn, and my generals did not let me near for fear that I would be infected and hurt, but I still brought her out. She was only a few years younger than me, and she looked at me longingly, and there was no signal for help in her eyes, but a deeper emotion than me, an emotion that I had been ignoring, and that was hatred!"

"In that moment, I realized that I was completely wrong. I'm not an executioner, that's not justice, that's just revenge. When I woke up, I finally heard the voices of my friends again: Hahaha, don't lie to people when you are a big official or something, it's not that piece of material. I just hope that the war will end sooner and the world will be peaceful!"

There are also the teachings of the first emperor, but Heishui didn't say it, because the first emperor had to carry everything and must not let people know.

"She was gifted, persevering, and offensive, and soon became my strongest helper and became my adjutant. From my experience with her, I learned that hatred does not bring peace. I began to change myself first and let go of the hatred in my heart, after all, the source of evil is only those scum who wage war for selfish desires, not civilians, nor soldiers who act on orders. I began to change the people around me, and this noble idea of peace is above evil, and let us tread every corner faster and gentler than hatred. And the mask I was wearing put on the last coat, the Imperial Marshal. ”

"Later, I have been changing the people around me, trying my best to change the world, when reunification becomes the only path to peace, I still will not hesitate, maybe it is lucky, I didn't expect that in just a few years, I really unified the world, ushered in peace from the hard-won. ”

"Having stepped into the darkness, I understand the depth of the darkness even more. This experience allowed me to make fewer mistakes after the unification of the empire. And I have fulfilled the ideals of my friends, bringing peace to the world and a more beautiful world to their families. It all seemed too fast, so fast that I didn't feel real. Heishui said that he was a little confused in the back, and then relaxed and smiled: "Finally, I took off my heavy coat, took off my disguised mask, and finally returned to my original, most sincere self." Now I just want to use the real me, the original me to see the other side of the world that I have not seen, and let me experience the warmth of this world. ”

"So, I'm sorry, I'm full of beautiful nostalgia for the world, and at the same time I have a strange confusion in my heart. I can't respond to your thoughts at the moment. That's my reply. Heishui said apologetically, a strange self, a strange world, this may be very capricious.

However, compared to the reply that had already been mentally prepared, Miao Qiyue was even more surprised that the Imperial Marshal! The legendary Imperial Marshal was actually in front of him! Although he had never been to the Demon Clan, his adjutant had come with a peaceful agreement and idea, and in a world where the strength of the Demon Clan was respected, she expressed her respect and understanding, and happily launched a challenge. In just two days, he defeated most of the representatives of the demon clan, and then walked away with a slight injury as if he had completed the task naturally, without killing a single demon.

[It's great that you guys can reason with your fists.] ]

Her strength makes those demon clans not ashamed, but it is even more difficult for people to mention.

The person in front of him is actually the Marshal of the Empire!!

Miao Qiyue, who was incoherent, looked at Heishui intently, couldn't speak for a long time, and finally said with difficulty after forcibly stabilizing his heart: "I.. Right now... It's not real... Feel. ”

Miao Qiyue touched her chest and took a deep breath, and said as calmly as she could: "This fact makes me too hard to believe, if it weren't for what you said... , this turned out to be a fact?!"

This is a reflection that Heishui did not expect, and raised his hand to reassure: "Don't think too much, I am still me, and we are friends." Besides, I've been dismissed, and now I'm a vagrant, just like you. ”

Miao Qiyue seemed to be frightened, suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, waved her hand and said, "Let me slow down..."

The disappointed Heishui scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Is it that exaggerated...

The world doesn't understand how heavy the words Marshal of the Reich are, maybe only his own.

After a long time, Heishui began to brew tea, hot tea, a little bored.

"It's too hard, it's too hard to believe. Miao Qiyue said calmly, this dreamlike reality made people doubt.

"I dream.... Things that I would never have dreamed of actually happened around me like this. ”

Heishui didn't expect Miao Qi to be so abnormal, and said with some regret: It may be better not to mention his own affairs in the future.

Is this reply acceptable? Heishui asked as usual, trying not to get too far from the topic.

This sentence made Miao Qiyue, who felt unreal, grasp the reality a little, and expressed the thoughts he had always carried: "Actually, I just want to tell you my heart, and that's enough." ”

Miao Qiyue looked at Heishui's puzzled eyes and continued: "I'm sorry, it may have annoyed you, but I really don't want to keep walking like this, holding back my inner thoughts every day, waiting like this, waiting for the day you leave." In the past, I knew that your identity should have been more afraid to escape, but now I am different, and now I don't think too much. I don't want to give up either... feelings for you. ”

Even the legendary Imperial Marshal spoke to me face to face, and what else could make me stand back.

At this time, Miao Qiyue no longer needs the courage to support, but only needs to say sincerely: "Can I wait for you?"

Of course, it's everyone's freedom to wait, Blackwater thought. But he didn't want to say it, because he really didn't want to waste a few years of other people's youth because of his words, and missing is a kind of happiness and poison at the same time.

"Love is really easy to grow. Heishui looked at the person in front of him who was completely different from the first time he met and couldn't help but say, more courageous and more mature. In the end, he smiled and said, "Yes." ”

"Thank you, I will always wait for you. ”

Regardless of whether that day will come or not.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at this time, Bai Yuqi on the side of the bed made a sound of waking up, and the time was just right.

Everyone was born on a stage that they did not choose, and they held a script that was not written by themselves, but it is precisely because of this that they should have more courage in order to perform their own life well.
