399 Lord of Thorns 3
readx;?“ You're leaving, aren't you?"
Upon returning to the room, this was the first thing the Messiah said to Ian. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Ian was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that she must have heard some news from the butler Morrow. Looking at Messiah's tired expression, Ian really couldn't bear to leave, but at this moment he could only nod: "Yes, leave tomorrow morning." ”
Messiah also nodded: "Yes." ”
"Our wedding is being postponed. Ian whispered, "But I'll definitely be back, soon, no one will be able to take you away at that time." ”
"I believe in you, always be. ”
The two fell silent. The moonlight sprinkled on the windowsill, and the snow-white luster on the windowsill swayed gently in the breeze before falling with the wind. At the moment when the petals fell, the Messiah asked Ian to close his eyes, and Ian guessed what the Messiah was going to do and obediently closed it.
However, the cold, soft lips of his imagination did not come together, and he heard a rustling sound.
"All I liked was you, Ian. Not the son of God, not the first king. ”
Ian subconsciously opened his eyes, and then the whole person fell into a stupor. The Messiah had shed her garments, and her snow-white skin was bathed in the moonlight and glowed seductively. She stood there calmly, her eyes like precious gems.
Fear was spreading like a plague in the town, and people couldn't wait to pack their bags and leave the town they had lived in droves for more than ten years. Although the hunters in the hall repeatedly assured that the quicksand would not spread here, it was not enough to erase the fear from the hearts of the people.
Greg sat in front of the window and watched as the family drove their camels out of town. He knew what had happened, another town on the edge of the desert was suddenly swallowed up by quicksand, and no one in the town survived, and the rescue team could not enter it at all. Other villages and towns have been attacked by various monsters that have escaped from the ground.
It was a catastrophe, as if it were a harbinger of the end of the world. Greg thought it was a little funny, if the end really came, where would you go?
"Crunch. ”
The old wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a small figure squeezed in. Greg glanced at it and frowned when he saw the person coming: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Dad said take a look at it again. "Anna walked over to Greg with the little white cat in her arms," he said, adding that the hunters of the hall had arrived, and that the town would be safer, safer than anywhere else. ”
Greg thought to himself that there was finally someone here who understood things. The Hall has sent hunters here, and more will be coming soon, perhaps a raiding party. Once the hunter team gathers here, this is the safest place, and even if the end comes, the town will be the last to die.
And those who are blinded by fear do not know that they are fleeing from the safest haven unless they leave the desert.
"Why don't you leave?" asked Anna, tilting her head.
"There's no need. Greg said lightly, "And there's nowhere to go, this is my home." ”
The little white cat meowed, flicked its tail, and shivered in Anna's arms. Anna had to hug it tighter, but it still couldn't stop the little white cat from shaking, Anna said worriedly: "The little white has been like this for three days in a row, is it sick?"
"It's not. It's good, it's just scary. ”
"Scared?"
Greg nodded, but didn't explain. He couldn't tell Anna that the little white cat felt the king of the earth who was slowly waking up in the distance, right? Animals' senses are always much sharper than humans, not only the little white cat, the animals in the town have been very restless in the past two days, and there have been several incidents of camels hurting people. This phenomenon was judged to be a precursor to the end of the world, and only he knew that it was only a symbol of the awakening of the king of the earth.
The awakening of a king. Greg didn't know how Karan in the imperial capital would react, and maybe he didn't need to make up his mind anymore, after all, he was already an old guy like himself. I heard that a new Lord of Thorns has appeared, so I guess he will lead the raid this time.
In the heyday of their four great kings, they had not experienced the awakening of any dragon king, so much so that he still didn't know what kind of strength the dragon king had. When the four of them slowly grew old, the dragons on the throne crawled out of the abyss one by one.
"The end of the world, is it really coming? Greg whispered.
"Huh?" Anna looked at Greg quizzically, "Are you talking to me?" ”
"Nope. Greg said lightly, "It's time for you to go home." ”
"It's still early. Anna hugged the little white cat, leaned against Greg and sat down in front of the window, one old and one young quietly looked at the bustling people outside the window, "I'll stay with you for a while." ”
The little white cat also slowly calmed down under this tranquility and fell asleep in Anna's arms. The big yellow dog lying in the yard raised his head, glanced out listlessly, and lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened.
At night, the temperature in the desert drops suddenly. Greg took out an overcoat from the old cupboard and draped it over himself. Anna had been gone for a while, and there was no temperature in the place where she was sitting. Greg sat down, and by this time there were no pedestrians in the street, and the wind was cold. Tomorrow morning, the people of the town will find that there are more than half of the people in the town, some of them will come back, and some of them will not come back.
He sat alone for a moment, and suddenly pulled open his clothes, embroidered on his inner pocket a thorn flower that had been dull for many years, and contained a key with rust. He took out the key and returned to the cabinet, which opened the bottom to reveal an old metal case.
He used the key to unlock the box and slowly pushed the metal box open.
A quaint long knife appeared in front of his eyes. He pulled the long knife from the bottom of the box, closed his eyes, and slowly swiped his rough fingers across the blade.
The next moment, a heavy sigh echoed through the small room.
