398 Lord of Thorns 2
readx;? Fiery red roses surrounded Karan's corpse, casting the last red light on the face of the old man who had been saga all his life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He lay there quietly, as if asleep, Ian thought that he could finally rest, that he had been busy all his life, that he had carried too many things, and that leaving might be the greatest relief for him.
But not everyone will feel relieved by his death. Ian saw the Messiah at a glance, and she sat closest to Karan's body, her face full of sadness that made Ian feel distressed.
Ian walked through the crowd to the Messiah and, under the gaze of everyone, took the Messiah into his arms.
At that moment, he felt that time had stood still, and everyone's expressions froze, either surprised, sad, or some incomprehensible expressions. Faintly, Ian heard a low moan, like a sea breeze, wandering alone in the sea for ten thousand years. He looked up and saw a vague black shadow outside the window, Nartimis staring at him through life and death, and the unprecedented loneliness of that moment hit him, straight into the marrow.
"Crackling. ”
The flames in the brazier danced wildly on the dry wood, and Ian glanced at Naga to see Naga curled up in the brazier, a pair of dark golden eyes deep and lonely. A gust of wind blew, and the flames were extinguished, and the mighty Nathan protected Naga, disappearing into the black mist set up by the flames in the blink of an eye.
"No one is safe from death. ”
The voice of the elven queen Siluph rang faintly in Ian's ears.
Ian was stunned, and the next moment, the cold wind howled, and the time that had been taken away was quickly returned to the gods. The expressions on people's faces began to come alive again, and the Messiah raised his head, his eyes full of tears.
"It's been a month. She said softly, "I didn't speak to him for a month, and then he left." Ian, am I good or bad?"
Ian didn't say anything, just buried her head in her shoulder once more. The Messiah finally couldn't hold back and sobbed quietly in his arms.
At this time, Dennis also arrived, saw this scene, patted Ian on the shoulder, and said in his ear, "You can send her back to rest." ”
The Messiah broke free from Ian's arms again, looked at the two of them, and shook his head slowly but firmly, "I'm going to be with him for the last night." ”
Ian opened his mouth to say something, but eventually said nothing, just nodded. He knew the nature of the Messiah, and it was also a granddaughter's job to have her accompany Karan through the last night.
The Messiah left Ian's embrace, straightened his hair, and said softly, "You should have something to do, leave me alone, I'll be obedient." ”
In response, Ian could only touch her head, tell her that everything would be fine, and then watch her return to her place. As much as he would love to be with her all the time, the Messiah was right, and as Lord of Thorns, he still had a lot to do.
Butler Morrow came to Ian's side with red eyes, bowed to Ian, and then handed him a roll of parchment: "Two hours ago, an urgent report came from the Burial God Desert Branch, requesting that the headquarters send a hunter team to support. ”
Ian took the parchment and glanced at the small print on it, which was similar to what Scott had told him earlier. He could feel that the king of the earth had really awakened, and only the king of the earth could set off such a catastrophe. As described in the division,.
"There are two senior hunters in the desert division. "Now they've come to their aid, taking out some of the monsters that crawled out of the desert." ”
"A monster crawling out of the desert?" Ian frowned, "What's that?"
"A lot of things, extremely aggressive, and before this report was written, they also saw a scorpion more than two meters high. "The towns around the desert have been attacked to varying degrees. ”
Ian was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Nakai has woken up." ”
Mo Luo's face changed slightly: "The branch has also made such an inference, but it is not yet certain, after all, if the dragon king awakens, we need to make a more detailed plan, and we need to send more watchtowers to observe it." ”
"It's too late. Ian shook his head, "Na Armor dares to take the initiative to attack humans, which means that it has matured, and there is no point in continuing to observe, so immediately send a crusade team and set off tomorrow morning." At the same time, Alder was informed, and the alchemist was immediately sent to help. ”
"Yes. Morrow nodded, "Before the head of the family left, the same order was given to you, informing Alder that the express letter had been delivered. The master said that he was waiting for you to lead the team to set off. ”
Ian nodded, a flash of sadness in his heart. That old man, even at the last moment of his life, can make the fastest and most correct judgment, he is a natural dragon slayer, and he is an excellent leader, no wonder the other hunter families in the imperial capital hate him so much, but after his death, they all fell into a panic.
"There's a lot of tricky stuff. Dennis said softly, "The aftermath of the Rose Lord alone is very troublesome, and you still have to set off with the raid team on the same day, but fortunately, the raid team was almost assembled yesterday." ”
"It's good to leave the affairs of the Rose Lord to you, don't you want to stay in the imperial capital. Ian whispered, "The crusade team is urgent, and the devil knows when the King of the Earth will strike again." We must solve it as soon as possible, and we can't delay it until the end of the world, if the king of the earth and Mussolini join forces, it will be the biggest disaster. ”
"I'm sure you're going to kill it. Dennis patted Ian on the shoulder, "No one but you." ”
"Help me take care of the Messiah. ”
"Of course, but you'd better talk to her. Dennis said softly, "After all, you were originally going to get married. ”
"yes. Ian took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "Who made me the Lord of Thorns?"
