Chapter 64: Laws!?100 Ghosts!?
If you want to ask what kind of man the bearded Rolls is? I guess there are many people who think they know him well nowadays who hesitate for a moment before answering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
...... A foolish loyalist who obeys the old mage's words, a fearless iron man, a warrior who does not change his face in the face of all dangers, or ...... A thief who steals the trust of others!
His name is Law, and he is recognized as an iron man who will not be defeated, and he is recognized by everyone as a spiritual leader other than Proteus. And in private, people will call him another title - "gatekeeper". It means that he not only fearlessly guards the safety of this refuge. It also symbolizes that those opponents who have fallen into chaos will have to cross his threshold in order to accept the old mage.
But, that's the kind of person he is. The reason for the old mage's death had the most direct and unchangeable connection to the person he had always trusted the most.
Under the circumstances at that time, if the immobile Rouse had taken even one step forward at the beginning, the current outcome would have been different. But reality is often different from fantasy. ...... At that time, he didn't. When the last necromantic frenzy rushed over, this great man had never disobeyed any orders of the old mage in his life...... In the eyes of everyone, at this most fatal moment, betrayed Proteus, who had always given his back to him.
When the old mage's body turned to ashes, a somewhat sluggish Rolls came back to his senses and took over the entire remnant of the human race under the strange gaze of the people. However, in the eyes of everyone, this has become a kind of performance of the city.
People are a little sad. After all, almost half of the people present had been taught and taught by the old master to some extent. Then there is the fear that comes with this death. "Betrayal" is still an unpromoted virtue in this world. However, survival is the royal way to keep all reasons going. When the conditions of the rebel are tempting enough, the fists and prestige are enough to silence any voice. ............ The survivors can't stand the toss anymore. Especially in the face of Rouse, who has never flinched in any danger, no one can test his true strength. Just like his right leg, which is now intact, there is little damage...... Able to hold him back.
Backed by past results. The crowd's call for him to be the leader was even louder. A leader who is capable enough and popular enough is indeed worth looking forward to.
However, Leto looked at Kerr with some concern who was being held in the arms of the princess by the "strange uncle". Pick up the injured person...... , this prosaic act touched the hearts of many people. -- That's the advantage of a contract, being able to remind your subordinates of which side they should be on when they are not doing anything. If Kerr's life is really threatened, then no one wants to live. Moreover, it is hard to imagine what will happen when Kerr wakes up and understands the truth.
..................
The change of fate is always a bit unexpected. Laws, the teacher she had always respected, deliberately neglected her duties in front of everyone, leading to the death of Proteus, the death of Cher's teacher. And Ker, who was unconscious again, was also controlled by his own teacher. The change in reality has not even made Leto think about how to face the captain who is only two years older than him next. It was discovered that Rouse had taken the unconscious Kerr outside.
Under the complex emotional conflict, Leto lowered his head and tightened the iron gun at his waist, following the crowd that was climbing up through a sloping stone pillar in the underground temple.
...... Now, the people who want to cry the most are probably the old people who have just signed the contract forced by the old mage. Truth be told, the treaties described in contracts that don't know the contents are not as harsh as they might think. In such troubled times, the old people who don't know what they know even have some luck. But, they're sure, the one always likes to be an afterthought...... An old bastard who waits until it's already happened, and acts like he knows everything. He must not have told them who they signed with them, the contents of those contracts!
Maybe...... It's the person who doesn't want them to tell it. After all, one of the contracts is ...... Don't tell Kerr by any means - "Who is he?"
................................................
"Smack!"
With a slight vibration from the ground, a falling stone slammed into the hard floor tiles of the temple that still had a blue halo, causing a crisp trilling sound that also pulled everyone's thoughts back.
"Earthquake?" Clio, who had been guarding Leto from the ghost realm to reality, suddenly raised his head. Encountering an earthquake underground is no fun.
There was another slight shaking.
The crowd, which had not yet reached the outside, began to stir. This time, they clearly felt the unfamiliar tremor under their feet. The people on the top floor of the sloping stone pillar freed themselves from the person who was standing at the exit for some unknown reason, and then again it was as if they had been struck by electricity,...... Like a deer caught in headlights.
Those who remained underground climbed up as hard as they could, except for Igusi, who seemed to have found something, and fell last. The people ascended to the top of the temple, a hidden platform hidden behind a boulder.
"Boom!"
People finally saw the culprit.
This time it's not a stone. Several loud roars resounded throughout the world. Even at the very edge of this wasteland. Humans can still hear the roar of a giant beast. Countless fiery red "meteors" dragging long tails of flames illuminated the entire black heaven and earth, looking as if they had burned the entire dark sky, and even left a long line of light and shadow in the dark vision of all living beings.
Looking at the world thousands of miles away, almost everyone saw the majestic "River of Light". Like a waterfall of flames that is constantly pouring down, the light and heat it emits are alien to the whole dark world, yet so beautiful and spectacular. It's as if whatever you think about in front of it becomes ridiculously absurd. Humanity fights in such wars, then loses, and finally struggles to fight again. Running away is not cowardice, it's just ...... , I really can't beat it.
................................................
A few minutes later, with the blinding light under the dark sky as the background, Rouse slowly turned around and led his people behind him to start a new round of journey to the "Holy Land" in the north.
................................................
We don't know the distance and the distance.
Never mind......
The more wrong,
The stronger we will be,
Never mind......
The more serious the injury,
The stronger we will be.
Rouse remembered what the old master had said not long ago.
Never mind...... Even if we can't, we have to keep going. It would have been a grand gamble. In fact, we are just bargaining chips, as long as he can withstand loneliness and pain, and move forward silently in loss and redemption.
We don't need a moment of enthusiasm like a child. What we need is a truly clear and determined soul. Only those who do not wipe their wounds in the wind and rain can have the determination and courage to withstand the test of time.
...... I'm too old, the old one can't go on with you anymore, and the old one seems to be wiped out in the next moment.
...... You're going to help me watch him really grow up, won't you?...... Mine, a hundred ghosts at night!
