Chapter Forty-Eight: There Is No Banquet in the World
The monster died, the priest died, and all of a sudden, it seemed as if all the problems had been solved. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Yiheng suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion welling up, and beckoned to Eric beside him, "I'm going back to sleep." After turning around and walking a few steps, he turned back and took out the water-proof bead in his arms and gave it to Eric, "If you want to see Lisa, it will take you there." Also, the queen rests in the waterweed hut you built. ”
Li Yiheng has done everything he can do, and the rest of the things are not something he can manage as a Gajie person, just let the city lord and Eric deal with it. Looking at Lini, who was still in the water, Li Yiheng walked over to say goodbye to Lini and left the island lake.
Li Yiheng slept for a long time, and when he woke up, Eric had already taken care of everything. Looking at Eric who was sitting in front of the window looking at the documents, Li Yiheng suddenly felt that Eric seemed to have grown up a lot, and he was no longer the seemingly mature but fragile teenager he was when he first met.
Li Yiheng sat down across from Eric, knocked on the table, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"About three days. Eric thought for a moment and replied, "Did you get enough sleep?"
Li Yiheng picked up the cup and poured himself a glass of water, "It's full." ”
Eric looked at Li Yiheng sitting opposite him, and also felt that Li Yiheng was a little different from when he first met, and after going through so much, he naturally grew up. Unconsciously, Eric wanted to tell Li Yiheng everything about the past few days.
"Letz is gone. Before leaving, he came to see me and said thank you for treating him like a brother for so many years, so that in his life, there is not only the shadow of his mother being killed by his father and being abandoned by his father. Oh, and he also gave me a notebook. ”
Eric originally wanted to sell a pass, but seeing Li Yiheng leaning on the chair with a lazy look, he stopped thinking about it and told him what had happened in the past few days.
"The notebook belonged to the priests, and it was written down about the water monster. The priest has been studying how to catch the water monster, but he has never found a good solution. ”
"The monster was originally a normal Kanna, and it lived happily with its lover. Later, his lover was shot dead by the Mantes, and he formed a feud with the Manties. It vows to avenge its lover, but there is no record of what it has become. ”
The note also states that the monster's weakness is the water core in the center of its forehead. Letz told me that the place where he was piercing with his gun was the water core of the water monster. The reason why he was able to find it so accurately was because the priest had trained him, and he didn't realize until the moment he killed the monster that he had been trained to kill the monster. ”
"The water monster likes to collect girls who have a true lover, because it thinks that every girl who has a true lover is the reincarnation of its lover. ”
The priest's notes also say that the water monster is conscious and holds grudges. The last time he arrested me, he probably saw the two of us together, and it remembered that you hurt it, and wanted to use me to blackmail you. ”
"The water monster also has a penchant for eating someone's blood once it has drunk it. It was also thanks to this that it was able to catch it. ”
"Oh, there's a tune in the note, it seems to be the one he played that day. There are also some spells in the score, the spells are supposed to be used to control the black mist, and the tune is to disturb the water monsters. It is said to be the favorite song of the water monster's lover, and when he listens to it, he remembers that he was with his lover, and his heart aches. ”
"So, I thought, the priest must have used this song to deal with the water monsters, and the black fog was just an excuse, in fact, he used it to confuse people's minds. ”
"In the priest's notes, there is also a record of the secret method. It is noted in the note that it was because the priest ate so many children's brains and hearts that his glue and rubber nets became what they are now, and it also made the music he played travel far in the water, thus affecting the water monster. ”
......
Li Yiheng listened to Eric's words and remembered the incomprehensible things that the water monster had done, maybe these were all things it had experienced back then. But no one can give a definite answer now, and what Eric said is nothing more than what was written down in the priest's notes, and who knows if it's true or not?
When she was in Mantis, the queen obviously knew something, perhaps, those were also some real things that used to be true, and there may be some secrets involved, and she didn't want to say more.
What people can know about history and the past will be infinitely closer to the truth, but it can never be the real truth. The so-called truth is also mixed with a lot of so-called facts.
Thinking of this, Li Yiheng couldn't help but sigh: The priest and the water monster have done so many bad things, just because of that little obsession in their hearts, why bother?
In the past, when talking about priesthood, Eric always looked like he gritted his teeth, but now, when Eric talked about priesthood, he looked very calm, like talking about someone else who didn't care about anything. Also, the priests are already dead, what is the point of fighting a dead man?
Eric babbled a lot, but didn't mention Lisa at all.
Li Yiheng was a little strange and asked, "You said so much, but you didn't talk about Lisa." Why? Are you ready to give up?"
"I don't know. Eric took out the water-proof bead that Li Yiheng had given him from his pocket, "After all this incident, I suddenly feel that what Lisa said is very right, there are too many things between me and her. In this case, let's forget about the rivers and lakes. ”
Eric suddenly thought about it, and Li Yiheng really didn't know whether to be happy for him or not. Lisa also likes Eric, and it is not easy to meet someone who likes and likes herself, but they can't be together for various reasons, which is quite embarrassing.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Eric returned the water-repellent bead in his hand to Li Yiheng, "Return the water-repellent bead to you." Yesterday my father resigned. ”
"So fast?" Li Yiheng said in surprise. Didn't the city lord do those things just to not step down so quickly? Why did he resign so neatly now? Look at Eric, Li Yiheng suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said this about his father in front of Eric, and said busily, "I'm not ......"
Eric understood what Li Yiheng meant, and didn't blame Li Yiheng for thinking so, and smiled, "It's okay." When my father was young, he was also conscientious for Uratu. Later, maybe because of his age, he couldn't let go of the power in his hand. ”
"Yes. "Li Yiheng doesn't like the city lord, because the city lord always targets him, if you really want to talk about character, he has not known the city lord for a long time and is not familiar with him, so it is difficult to make a conclusion, but looking at the appearance of Fratu, it can be seen that the city lord has governed quite well over the years, "What about the new city lord?"
"It's been chosen. Eric smiled and didn't sell it, "It's me." ”
Li Yiheng nodded, what was expected, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Eric continued, "Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., there will be an inauguration ceremony. I've been struggling with what to do if you don't wake up, whether I'm going to find someone to carry you to my inauguration. ”
Li Yiheng looked at the water-repellent bead in Eric's hand, and was in a trance, this water-repellent bead is also a divine object, but unfortunately it is not the artifact he is looking for, "You take it first." I should be able to get up, no, you call me. ”
The next day, Li Yiheng opened his eyes at seven o'clock and went downstairs, and Eric was already fully dressed. The new dress on the body is very well made, but the patterns are complicated but not cumbersome.
Eric saw Li Yiheng walking and motioned for him to look at his new dress, "How is it? ”
"Yes, it's beautiful. Li Yiheng agreed, but there was a faint disappointment in his eyes. The clothes made by my mother have not been worn for many years.
Eric didn't seem to notice Li Yiheng's strange appearance, and picked up a set of neatly folded clothes from the sofa behind him and gave it to Li Yiheng, "Don't envy me, my mother also made a set for you." ”
"For me?" Li Yiheng looked at the clothes in Eric's hand, which were even more delicate than the ones on Eric's body, "How can this ......?"
Eric threw his clothes into Li Yiheng's hand, "Hmph, my clothes have never been so exquisite, and you are still picky......"
"I didn't ......" Li Yiheng's eyes were slightly wet, he was not picky, but he didn't expect the city lord's wife to make a set for himself, he was a little excited.
"Eric, the clothes you grew up in, I didn't prepare them for you that time. The voice of the city lord's wife came from the kitchen, "This time, it's just a little more delicate for Yiheng's clothes, and you still don't give up." “
Li Yiheng didn't expect the city lord's wife to be there, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Eric's slightly coquettish voice, "Mom!"
"Alright, alright, let's have breakfast. The city lord's wife walked out of the kitchen with breakfast, and when she saw Li Yiheng, the city lord's wife smiled and said, "The tradition of Furatu, you must wear a dress on grand festivals. I thought you probably didn't, so I made you a set to Eric's measurements, and you were about the same height. ”
Li Yiheng looked at the breakfast on the table and smiled happily, "Thank you, Auntie." ”
The inauguration ceremony is actually very boring, the predecessor leaves office, and the new inaugurate gives a speech. However, the parade behind it was quite lively. The townsfolk sang and danced, and walked around the streets of Volatu in a crowd of Eric.
"Whoosh-"
When passing by the lake in the heart of the island, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air suddenly remembered, and before everyone could react to where the arrow came from and where it was going, they heard Eric snort and fell to the ground.
The arrow hits Eric in the chest.
"No—" A heart-rending cry came from the lake in the heart of the island.
Li Yiheng, who was helping Eric, heard the sound and saw Lisa standing in the lake in the center of the island. Not far away, was Lea with a bow and arrow.
Lisa struggled to hug Eric, but she couldn't get to shore and could only cry helplessly in the water. The townsfolk saw Eric's killer and drew their weapons to capture Leah.
"No...... ......" Eric's weak voice rang out, "don't...... Catch her...... Give...... I'm going to Lisa...... Where ......"
Li Yiheng sighed, glared at Lia, and helped Eric to move closer to Lisa step by step.
Lisa finally hugged Eric and held him tightly in her arms, crying until she couldn't help herself. Lisa wept, and Eric wept with her.
I was finally able to hold Lisa, and dying in Lisa's arms seemed to be a kind of happiness.
Leah's hands trembled, looking at Lisa, who was crying uncontrollably while holding Eric, and said in a trembling voice, "The queen mother is seriously injured...... You are the Queen of Mantis's Destiny and the hope of Mantis. You're gone, what is Mantees going to do?"
"Big sister, I just said I liked Eric, that's all, I didn't say I was leaving Mantis. Lisa's voice was so low that if it weren't for the deathly silence around her, she wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly, "Sister, do you know? The moment I was captured by the monster, the first thought that came to my mind was that I would never see Eric again. Even, I think, compared to not being able to see him, death is nothing. ”
"Eldest sister, you have also had someone you like, why can't you understand me?" Lisa said as she hugged Eric in her arms, "You have taught me since I was a child, Mantean is my home, it is a responsibility on my shoulders, there is nothing more important in this world than Manties, I always remember it...... I like that there is no necessary contradiction between Eric and Mantis being my home and my responsibilities, so why do you have to put him to death......?
Li Yiheng listened to the conversation between Liya and Lisa and sorted out the information. It turned out that I saw the queen vomiting blood before, not because she was tired, but because she was really seriously injured.
Just when the queen was seriously injured, Lisa became the Destiny Queen of Mantees. Li Yiheng remembered what the queen said when he went to Mantis for the first time, although the queen didn't say it explicitly, but now that she thinks about it, what she means should be that the queen of Mantis was chosen by destiny.
Now, Lisa is the new Queen of Destiny, and she carries the whole of Mantis on her shoulders. Perhaps Lisa revealed that she liked Eric and wanted to be with Eric, so much so that the queen ordered Lia to kill Eric in order to keep Lisa in Mantees.
Unnoticed, Eric and Lisa's tears converged and dripped onto the water-proof beads on Eric's chest. Suddenly, there was a burst of light from the beads, and the light that fell on Eric's wound disappeared as if it had been swallowed.
After a while, the wound on Eric's chest healed and Eric came to his senses. Listening to Lisa's words, Eric burst into tears again, and being able to hear Lisa's confession to himself after being injured once was really worth it.
"Lisa, is what you just said true?"
Eric's voice sounded softly in Lisa's ears, and Lisa, who didn't know why, nodded desperately when she heard it, "Of course it's true......"
When she nodded, Lisa saw Eric smiling at her, and when she looked at her, Eric was indeed smiling at herself. Lisa blushed suddenly, "You?"
"I'm fine. Eric stood up, helped Lisa to the deeper water, and hugged Lisa, "Lisa, I'm so glad to hear you say those words yourself." ”
Leah looked at Eric who woke up and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"It was the water droplets that saved me. Eric didn't blame Leah in the slightest, and replied with a smile. As he spoke, he reached out to take out the water-repellent bead from his chest, but found that the huge water-repellent bead had turned into a small white and flawless pearl, and it was still glowing white.
When Liya and Lisa saw such a drop of water, they immediately bowed down, and bowed respectfully three times before getting up. Before Eric could speak, Lisa explained, "The pearl of tears that can be transformed into such a water-repellent bead is a sacred relic of our Mantis, and it has not been seen in a hundred years. ”
"Why didn't you tell him anything else?" asked Leah, looking at the water-proof bead in Eric's hand.
Eric looked at the water beads and wondered, "What do you mean?"
Lisa lowered her head and blushed and refused to speak, and Liya glanced at her and said, "Legend has it that in order for a water-repellent bead to transform into a tear pearl, the tears of two people who truly love each other must fall on the water-repellent bead at the same time. These two are like the Queen of Destiny in our legends. ”
"Manifest Queen?" Eric still didn't understand. Li Yiheng on the side didn't have a good breath and said, "People in love really owe their IQ." That is to say, the two of you are the lovers chosen by Destiny, and from now on, no one will interfere with you. ”
Three days later, Eric and Lisa's wedding was held in the heart of the island, and Li Yiheng attended the wedding as a witness.
At the wedding, Eric and Lisa gave the tear pearl as a thank you gift to the witnesses. Li Yiheng originally wanted to excuse himself, but he didn't expect that when the tear pearl approached his necklace, the necklace reacted. It seems that the pearl of tears is the artifact he is looking for.
Li Yiheng, who couldn't help but be overjoyed, took the tear pearl with both hands, and said with a smile, "Then I will be disrespectful." ”
"Twitter-" Little Twitter cried excitedly, as if asking if he had any gifts.
Lisa held Xiao Ji in her hand, kissed it gently, and said to Li Yiheng, "Do you know? After I inherited the power and memory of my mother, I found that Xiao Ji appeared in my grandmother's memory. ”
"Oh, are you too grandma?" Li Yiheng grabbed Xiao Ji and looked at it and said, "Then speaking of which, Xiao Ji is also hundreds of years old, so why is he still so young?"
"Twitter-" Xiao Ji glanced at Bai Li dissatisfiedly, as if to say: I haven't gotten bigger, if I hadn't gotten bigger to help you, would you have been able to beat the waves conjured up by the water monster?
"Hahaha-" Li Yiheng, Eric, and Lisa couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Xiao Ji.
Early the next morning, Eric went to call Li Yiheng for breakfast, but found that the house was already empty, and only a note was left on the table.
"I'm leaving. ”
At this moment, Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji sitting on the mast stared at the glowing necklace on Li Yiheng's chest at the same time in a daze, Li Yiheng sighed and said helplessly, "Dude, it's all night, when are you going to finish it?"
