491 From the Hunter (3)
Ian is no longer the same Ian he used to be.
Here's Tim's take on Ian now. Although Ian would pretend to be mature in the past, he still exposed the heart of a teenager in many cases. He will be angry, he will be frustrated, he will be afraid, he will stand in front of everyone in times of danger while arguing with himself.
But now it's different.
He sat there, looking at the crimson pupils from the pool, which looked like a pool of stagnant water. He said that he had killed someone, and Tim believed that what he said was true, but his tone was so calm, as if he hadn't killed someone, but accidentally trampled two ants to death. This calmness instinctively frightened Tim, reminding him of the dead king of Atlantis, who had the power to reign over the world even if he had no life.
"You're stronger than ever. Tim was silent for a while, lowered his head and said softly, "It's not the hairy boy I used to be." ”
Ian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"I remember you told me that after leaving the port of Sophia, you would come to the imperial capital to find someone. Tim asked, "Did you find that person?" ”
Tim originally just asked casually, but he clearly saw that Ian's eyes showed a very similar emotion. He was stunned at first, but soon realized that the man probably occupied a deep place in Ian's heart.
Tim was about to follow up when another person entered the pool. He frowned, and was about to scold the latter, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face again.
"I didn't expect to have a chance to see you. Green sat lazily in the pool, "Coward." ”
Tim rolled his eyes violently, this nasty dead fat man again. When he was in Atlantis, this dead fat man had been taunting himself, occasionally scaring himself, almost not scaring himself into a nervous disorder. At that time, he wanted to strangle Grimm with his own hands, but now, seeing Green's fat face and lazy expression, he still missed it far more than hate. After parting, Tim slowly understood that if it weren't for Green, they might have buried the king.
Ian knew that Green was coming, and asked without looking up, "Solved?"
"Solved, I opened the door for that guy. Green said lazily, "The rest is for Bowen alone." Oh, he said he was going back to the family, so I came to you. ”
Ian nodded.
Tim's heart hung again. The thing Ian asked Green about must have something to do with what he said earlier about "killing someone". But who are they going to kill? Does anyone have to be the Lord of Thorns to kill? Even though Ian has changed a lot now, Tim doesn't think Ian is a murderer.
But he didn't dare to ask about the specifics, so he had to drink silently.
"By the way, I have one thing. Green looked at Ian, "And you're quite concerned." ”
"What?"
"The people in the imperial capital are saying that your little wife is pregnant. ”
Ian jerked his head up and stared straight at Green. Even though a few months had passed, Green still couldn't get used to the oppression of these eyes, but he was much better than the average person. He spread his hands and expressed his innocence: "It's useless for you to stare at me, and I didn't do it." ”
Ian ignored Green's joke: "Is the news true?"
"Almost everyone knows that before the news of the end of the world was announced, this matter was probably the one thing that people here talked about the most. "After all, this is the first case, there has never been a precedent for the Eye of Heaven to be pregnant, and no one knows if the child born to the Messiah is normal, and no one knows if the newborn will directly take the Messiah's place." ”
Eyes of Heaven, Messiah Tim was stunned, the eldest lady of the Stuart family, Ian's sweetheart turned out to be her?
"Any news yet?"
"A lot of people think that the Eye of Heaven shouldn't give birth to a child, but it's good that Dennis guy has kept everything down, and if you count the time, it should be a few months now. "If nothing else, you'll be a dad in a few months." ”
Ian froze. He never imagined that the Messiah would be pregnant, and that his own child would be born in a few months, and that he would become a father?
Father. What a strange word, and now that he bears the name of a hunter, the name of a knight, and even the name of a god, and now he needs another identity?
"I'm going to see the Messiah. Ian got up from the water.
"Are you really ready?" asked Green softly.
Ian froze in place.
Yes, is he really ready? In his current form, to meet the Messiah? He had said that he would bring [eternity] back from the Burial God Desert, that he would take the Messiah out of the hands of Heaven. But he didn't expect that [Eternity] was not in the Burial God Desert at all, and he didn't even find the shadow of the World Tree.
But time was running out for him and the Messiah. He knew that he had lost his last chance to find Eternity, and that it would not be long before the Dragon Emperor would return with the Dragons to wipe out humanity on this continent once and for all. He had to wait here, for the final war with the Dragon Emperor Mussolini, for the war on everything.
For this reason, he has become like this, hoping to have more chances of winning in that hopeless war. Karan hopes that he will be able to save the fire of humanity, Barton hopes that he will survive, and more people hope that he will be able to kill the Dragon Emperor Mussolini.
In this case, how does he go about finding Eternity, and if he can't find Eternity, how can he go to the Messiah?
Ian felt tired, and he slowly sat down in the pool, looking lonely. Looking at Ian like this, Tim felt familiar, as if at this moment, the three of them were back in Atlantis, and everyone was so small and powerless.
"You still have to see it, you can't always see it. Green said slowly, "At least in a few days, when the news spreads over there, you will appear again." ”
Ian nodded tiredly.
"Also, Dennis and Nicole aren't in the imperial capital either. Green said suddenly, "Some people say that they have gone to Lingfeng, and it has been half a month since today, and they have not come back yet." ”
Ian's brows furrowed tightly: "Half a month? It only takes five days to get to Lingfeng here." ”
