CHAPTER XIX
I don't know why, Ah Bing, who has always been unwilling to be lonely, actually showed a sad look at this moment, didn't say a word, and sat there quietly in a daze. After walking back and forth for five minutes, Xue Chengyue suddenly sat down again, picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and then shook his head and said, "...... It was a time of madness, as if all people had suddenly lost their minds. At that time, when people saw the tens of thousands of Kedi people broadcast on the news in a closed valley being trampled, bitten and chased by thousands of giant carnivorous dragons controlled with drugs, no one showed a look of fear or grief...... Hehe, my dad was just a teenager at the time, and he was scared to pee his pants when he saw that scene, but at that time, countless people around him let out earth-shattering cheers...... Then there's the even more outrageous craze for eating Kedi babies. At that time, almost all restaurants put up billboards saying that they had the freshest and most delicious Kedi larvae, and that they would introduce people to a variety of fashionable new ways to eat them for free...... They don't call it a baby, they call it a larvae, as if that would give them a beautiful aura of madness and ugliness......"
I was dumbfounded...... Cold sweat trickled down his back...... When Master mentioned it to me, he also talked about the inhumane massacre and the inhumane acts of infant cannibalism, but now that I have heard the more detailed introduction, it makes people feel like they are in hell......
Ah Bing had already covered his ears and kept shaking his head, trying his best not to hear those terrifying words. Xue Chengyue smiled bitterly, took another sip of water, and said to Ah Bing: "Ah Bing, there are some things that you can't escape if you don't want to. What we need to learn is not how to escape, but how to avoid it happening again......"
Then he turned his head to look at the screen, as if he was also thinking about some question, and muttered, "I want to ...... Probably...... It was because of this incident that President Roth, who is loved by hundreds of millions of people, left suddenly......"
"Didn't President Rott suddenly disappear during a terrorist investigation? And it seems that there is no sign of the use of force, and he should have left on his own initiative......" Ah Bing asked with a frown.
"Well, that's true, but do you know who is behind that terrorist operation?"
Ah Bing shook his head in confusion, indicating that he was not clear. I suddenly had an idea, and immediately called out: "People of the Kedi tribe, right!"
"Haha, Leng Yu, I can't see that you idiot is still full of geniuses sometimes, yes, but this is listed as the top secret of the Dragoon Generals Conference, if my father didn't have a good relationship with Mekael and Lachite, it would be impossible for him to know the truth!"
"But haven't all the Kedi people been killed?" Ah Bing said with a frown, still confused.
"Hehe, I don't know about this, anyway, that terrorist operation was done by the Kedi people, and ......" Xue Chengyue suddenly stopped laughing again, showing a sentimental look, "President Roth was already very angry about that inhumane massacre, but unfortunately at that time, he went to a small island in the North Sea to track down the range of the blue-winged swordback, and he didn't know anything about it, and when he came back, all the people of the Kedi tribe had already been killed...... Then came the terrorist act, which, although there were not many casualties, caused a serious economic crisis. Therefore, under the pressure of the Council of Patriarchs, President Roth took the lead by sending a silver emblem dragoon to investigate and pursue, and then had to bring a silver emblem dragoon to join the investigation, but in the end, it suddenly stopped, and President Roth suddenly disappeared mysteriously. According to the resignation statement of the two silver-emblemmed dragoons who came back later, President Roth will always be their greatest president, and if the world loses him, it is equivalent to losing the meaning of their existence, and then there is no need for them to stay in this bad world to defend any so-called human rights......"
"And at that time, they also made public statements that they were fully responsible for not preventing the massacre, that they were willing to be tried by a military court, and that they would rather accept the death penalty to atone for the crimes of the Kedi. But the effect of their statement was not too great a sensation other than the cynicism of the world......"
After Snow City Yue finished speaking, she suddenly smiled, looked at me and Ah Bing with a smile of "you will definitely not guess" and said: "My grandfather and President Lott have been friends for nearly 30 years, my grandfather knew President Rott when he was very young, and President Rott regarded my grandfather as a close friend!"
"Wow! really! Ah Yue, your grandfather actually knows him......?!
I rolled my eyes and said, "Ah Bing, what's your name, isn't Xue Chengyue's father also familiar with the other two Golden Emblem Dragoons?......
Who knew that Syracuse glared at me with his eyes and said, "You, you just don't know anything!" President Roth doesn't like to deal with businessmen and politicians the most, he likes to stay with the poor. My grandfather said he had never seen an officer with such a human touch, and that he had far more reverence for President Roth than for the other two gold-emblem dragoons. He also said that wherever President Roth led, he was full of joy, and he did far more for the people than those politicians who just said and did not do, and his troops were basically where there was a disaster and where they needed help, but the daily salary of the silver and purple emblem dragoons under him was not more than half of the blue emblem dragoons under other gold emblem dragoons, but all the dragoons were willing to follow him and never give up, all of them were attracted by his personality. Hehe, my grandfather also said that President Roth likes to scold his subordinates for being stupid and bastards, but his dragoons always like to be scolded by him, and the louder he scolds, the happier the dragoons are, and there is a popular greeting among the dragoons under President Roth's subordinates: "Were you scolded today?" Hehe, my grandfather said that this is because President Rott will only scold unscrupulously when facing the people closest to him, and those dragoons always like to go for scolding, and they look happy after being scolded. Hee-hee, this is probably the biggest failure of President Roth's life......"
I immediately thought of my master...... That old bastard always likes to scold me, and even when I accidentally bite a piece of sand while eating, he will indignantly say, "You stupid!
Snow City Moon was looking longingly into the distance at the moment, and suddenly muttered a sigh and said, "It's a pity, I was born too late and didn't have a chance to see him......"
Then he suddenly turned to us and said with a smile: "You know what? President Roth never married! I heard that it was because the woman he loved died at the wedding between them...... So President Roth never liked another woman again...... If I had been born sooner, I would have chased him......!
I turned my head to look at the screen, trying to make a disdainful expression. Ah Bing laughed out loud, made a "so it is" expression, nodded and said, "Ah Yue, I finally know what kind of man you like......
Snow Chengyue's face suddenly turned red, and then hurriedly defended: "Oh, I don't like that kind of man who is hundreds of years old, I just want to prove my charm......
I covered my forehead and sighed in pain, and Syracuse immediately shouted, "You guy! What kind of expression is this...... Really...... Oops, off topic, off topic, hehe......"
"Yes, aren't you going to talk about the relationship between the Golden and Silver Leopard Dragons and the Golden-winged Bat Dragons...... Hmph!" Ah Bing pouted and glared at Xue Chengyue with a grin.
Xue Chengyue stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, patted her forehead and said, "Oops, I was excited for a while, so I digressed, but you didn't remind me, don't blame me, haha......"
Then Xue Chengyue picked up the water cup again, but unfortunately there was no water in the water cup, she shook her head and pretended to be pitiful and looked at me and said, "Oh, it's so pitiful, the storyteller is so dry, no one even pours a glass of water......"
Ah Bing covered his mouth and snickered, got up for a while, but didn't get up, probably laughing. I glared at Syracuse indignantly and got up to pour her water.
When I poured water for her, I suddenly found that Xue Chengyue pressed Ah Bing's feet under the chair with her feet behind the coffee table, and kept gently rubbing Ah Bing's instep...... No, such a passionate ** action has come out! Syracuse Moon is so bold!
There was a strange sourness in my chest, and I always felt as if I had suddenly found that something I loved the most was in the blink of an eye, and I felt a feeling that I couldn't explain...... The heartbeat seemed to be quietly accelerating, and the sourness in my heart became more and more irrepressible......
After trying to suppress my mood, after pouring the water, I sat down and deliberately did not look under the coffee table. Originally...... What Syracuse Moon likes is...... Ah Bing......
Suddenly, I felt that the bridge of my nose seemed to be sore, as if a voice kept shouting in my ear: "You wretched! You slave! You good-for-nothing guy, how could she like you?!......"
Indeed, someone like me who is nothing...... How can I win the favor of the noble and beautiful Snow City Moon? The reason why she is with me now is just to pursue Ah Bing next to me...... Hehe...... Ah Bing, I bless you......
The feeling of heartache seemed to have reached its limit, and I hurriedly said, "I'll go to the bathroom......" and quickly left the sad living room......
He locked the door, took off his mask, and washed his face with water, but the cold touch could not suppress the soreness in his heart. I looked up and looked in the mirror at the word "feather" on my forehead......
What an ugly mark...... I smiled wryly and reached for my forehead.
"You...... It's a piece of waste! Agali humiliated you like that, but you gave up revenge only for the suicide of a woman who didn't love you! The old man who discriminated against you, insulted and beat you, you let him leave intact! You ...... No matter how much you pretend to be like the Chia, you will never be able to change this fact......!
Cursing in a low voice to me in the mirror, he smiled wryly and wiped the droplets from his face, I don't know if it was tears or water. I sighed as I looked at my hair, which was gradually turning silvery-white......
Never mind...... Didn't you say that you want to protect Ah Bing forever?...... Since they have said so, we should wish him the happiness he deserves......
But...... Why is the pain in my heart so unbearable that I want to cry out loud?!
I washed my forehead desperately, as if I wanted to do my best to wash off the mark that I knew I couldn't get rid of...... Finally, I stared blankly at the mark in the mirror and stopped in despair......
"Really...... Lifetime...... Can't you erase it......"
Wiped my face with a towel and put on my mask again.
In order to restore the black color of my hair, I had to do a good job and slowly disperse the irrepressible surging true qi into the acupuncture points all over my body.
Looking at myself wearing a mask in the mirror again, I asked blankly, "Do you really want to wear it for the rest of your life?......?"
With a long sigh, I opened the bathroom door and walked out silently.
"I said Leng Yu, why did you go to the toilet for so long! If Ah Bing hadn't said that I had to wait for you to come back, I would have gone to sleep a long time ago! Hmph......" Syracuse Moon glared at me angrily.
I forced a smile, sat down in the chair, and deliberately raised my hand calmly and said, "Go on, listen to me......"
Snow City Moon glanced at me, took a sip of water, and then slowly continued to speak: "Hmm...... Oh, yes...... Rakette said that he was going to personally send his dragoon to catch the two dragons. Of course, because the senators were not interested in this strange dragon per se, they thought that this dragon could be brought to the exhibition at best, and that the number of such dragons was so small that it was not suitable for large-scale breeding and domestication. But since Ratchet himself was willing to go, the gang was quite cooperative, fanning the flames in the news media to hype up that this capture operation would be a huge turning point in the understanding and research of human beings about dragons, and some people also paid for sponsorship, saying that they would exhibit at their own guild location after they were caught...... Makael immediately objected, saying that wild dragons have their own habits, and they will never disturb human life casually, and the so-called claim that fifty heads can rule the world is just out of the biologist's own worship of the golden and silver leopard dragons, and there is no credibility at all. And the problem of feeding is also a huge problem, even if it is caught, how to raise it? I'm afraid no one knows. If it took countless manpower and financial resources to catch it with great difficulty, but he died the next day, who would be responsible for it?...... Hehe, Maykel's opposition only strengthened Ratchet's determination to catch the two dragons, and immediately sent two blue emblem dragoons to catch them. As a result, 20,000 dragoons arrived in that valley, and the next day they abandoned their armor and ran back, saying that they had encountered a large number of aerial dragons of unknown origin, and more than 2,000 people and more than 1,800 domesticated speed dragons were blocked in the valley by a group of giant carnivorous dragons, and now it is not known whether they are dead or alive...... Ratchet and the Council of Elders were shocked by the news they had brought back, which led to a second, larger capture operation. The two purple emblem dragoons under Lachit personally went out and led eight blue emblem dragoons and 80,000 dragoons to capture each other. Because the second operation was prepared, the dragon legion, which Rakit was most proud of, was sent to disperse the wyverns who attacked them, and then began a large-scale search operation, encountering numerous large-scale dragon attacks along the way. But because the dragoons themselves had large dragon tamers, there were not many casualties, except that a hundred-man squad disappeared inexplicably after entering a valley...... Later, the Purple Emblem Dragoons focused their search on the valley where a hundred dragoons were missing......"
Speaking of this, Xue Chengyue stopped, looked at Ah Bing, and said with a smile: "Ah Bing, guess where the hundred dragoons ran?"
Ah Bing shook his head in confusion, pouted and frowned, looking completely unthinkable, and said angrily: "Ah Yue, why don't you have any sympathy at all! They must be dead!"
Xue Chengyue looked at me with a smug look of "you really can't guess", and said with a smile: "Hehe, no, no, they were captured by a group of leopard dragons and taken hostage! So the Purple Emblem Dragoon had a conversation with the Golden Leopard Dragon...... However, no one knew how the conversation was made, anyway, according to the dragoons who came back later, they saw the Purple Emblem Dragoon muttering to face to face with the Giant Mouth Golden Leopard Dragon for a long time, and then the Giant Mouth Golden Leopard Dragon let those people go...... Ay...... It's a pity that the golden leopard dragon believed in the cunning humans too much, so he recklessly released the people, and also exposed his goal, and the next day the dragoons who retreated to the outside of the valley swarmed like locusts again, and rushed into the lair of the golden and silver leopard dragons. That attack can be said to be a huge stain on the long and glorious history of the dragoons' invincibility, with nearly seventy percent of the 160,000 dead and none of the 160,000 dragons surviving...... Originally, the Purple Emblem Dragoons saw their dragoons rushing into the valley smoothly, thinking that they could successfully capture the gold and silver leopard dragons alive, but suddenly more than a dozen blue-winged swordback dragons appeared in the sky, and more than 20,000 unprepared dragoons and dragon trainers were poisoned to death in an instant, and then there were even more terrifying five amputated dragons, and the scene immediately lost control...... By the time the Blue Emblem Dragoons personally went out to kill the five ear-amplified dragons, they had already lost nearly a quarter of their troops...... Then the gold and silver leopard dragons appeared, leading hundreds of leopard dragons to rush at the dragoons...... Hey, here, I want to pay my respects to the brave and unyielding dragons, especially those leopard dragons...... Hehe, Ah Bing, don't look at me like that, okay, how can I say that those dragoons invaded people first......" Xue Chengyue patted Ah Bing, who was frowning, and defended with a smile.
"In that war, because of the appearance of the Blue-winged Stegosaurus and the Amputated Ear Dragon, there was hardly a dragon of any other race in the vicinity. Hundreds of leopard dragons, led by gold and silver leopard dragons, actually killed seven blue emblem dragon riders in hand-to-hand combat, and the dragoons were killed and wounded countless times...... It is said that none of the dragon trainers are the next of the leopard dragons, and even when they saw the leopard dragons rushing over, the thousands of dragon trainers in front were frightened and incontinent, and they were stunned on the spot, and the back ones turned around and ran, ignoring the radio waves of the dragoons, they spread their feet and rushed towards the narrow valley exit, trampling and biting each other, and they killed themselves a lot...... The dragoons were even more miserable, without the protection of the most loyal dragon trainers, they were instantly swept away by the leopard dragons, and according to the people who came back, one leopard dragon could confront two hundred-man teams, and even chase hundreds of people to escape in a hurry...... Listening to them, the speed of the leopard dragon has reached an appalling level, one second it was clear that a leopard dragon was more than a hundred meters away from him, and the next second he had already arrived in front of him and pounced with his mouth open...... And the two gold and silver leopard dragons specially worked with the Blue Emblem Dragoons, and under the siege of more than a dozen Blue Emblem Dragoons, they were able to kill four Blue Emblem Dragoons, and finally the Purple Emblem Dragoons also joined the battle group, and finally killed the Silver Dragon at the huge cost of losing three more Blue Emblem Dragoons......"
When Xue Chengyue said this, she frowned again, her eyes gradually turned red, and then she slowed down and whispered: "When I was a child, I asked my father to tell me this story, and every time I talked about it, he would pause for a long time...... He said that each of the hundreds of leopard dragons that died should be honored with the title of martyr, and the gold and silver leopard dragons can be said to be heroes that even the dragoons who died on the battlefield in the past dynasties cannot be compared...... He said that not only him, but even the dragoons who participated in the battle at that time treated the ...... of the two dead gold and silver leopard dragons with great reverence."
"Huh, how did the golden leopard dragon die? You haven't said it yet......" Ah Bing immediately asked anxiously, interrupting the story of Snow City Yue.
I also nodded eagerly, and I couldn't help but have a deep respect for the two gold and silver leopard dragons.
Xue Chengyue lowered her head, reached out and wiped her eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then raised her head and sniffed, trying to say in a normal tone: "At that time, after seeing the silver leopard dragon die, the golden leopard dragon suddenly let out a terrible roar, all the dragoons had to cover their ears and retreat far away, and those leopard dragons who were not dead heard it, they also began to roar one after another, and all the dragoons were frightened by the roar and fell to the ground, and their limbs spasmed. Then I saw the golden leopard dragon walk up to the silver leopard dragon, trying hard to get it to stand up, but every time it was helped up, the silver leopard dragon immediately fell down again...... At that time, all the dragoons stood there in a daze, forgetting to make a move, and were deeply shocked by what they saw...... In the end, the golden leopard dragon finally stopped using its mouth to help the silver leopard dragon, but only roared in a low voice, glanced at the dragoons with extremely sad eyes, and just stood and died......"
My heart suddenly became empty, as if I was standing in the valley full of soldiers' corpses in an instant, and saw a golden leopard dragon in front of a group of dragoons, standing quietly next to a silver leopard dragon that fell to the ground, losing its own life...... An unspeakable grief poured out of the depths of my memory, and the heart-rending feeling was like losing two of my best friends...... Shaking my head, trying to suppress this strange thought of myself, I felt a sense of confusion, I had never seen a golden and silver leopard dragon, but how could they appear so clearly in my mind just now?...... And that great grief turned out to be so real......
Ah Bing was already crying, crying quietly, wiping his tears with his sleeve.
Snow Chengyue suddenly shouted loudly: "Oops...... Why do I even cry myself? I don't think I'm really good at storytelling......"
Ah Bing wiped away his tears, smiled hard and said, "You spoke very well, hehe, let's talk about it......"
Xue Chengyue nodded slowly, and continued: "The rest of the leopard dragons, the moment the golden leopard dragon died, they all rushed towards the dragoon generals as if crazy. Unfortunately, they were no match for the Dragoons, and they were all killed in a short time...... Just when the dragoons commanded the surviving dragoons to clean up the mess and retrieve the fleeing dragon trainers, they suddenly heard a 'buzzing' sound from the far sky, and a purple emblem dragoon immediately climbed to the top of the mountain, and then ordered the whole army to retreat quickly in shock, and also brought the corpses of two gold and silver leopard dragons...... Guess what he saw? Hehe, it was a large group of golden-winged bat dragons flying towards this valley, and the whole sky was occupied by the figure of the golden-winged bat dragon, and there were golden clouds everywhere, like a long golden wave, sweeping towards them from far away in the sky. Even if the Purple Emblem Dragon Rider had a little knowledge, he immediately knew that it was the Golden-winged Bat Dragon, and the retreat was also very timely, and immediately led tens of thousands of people to hide in a huge cave nearby, and firmly sealed the entrance of the cave with a boulder. They heard the terrible howls of the dragon trainers outside who could not enter, but they could not do anything, because they knew that if they opened the hole, everyone would be doomed. That night, from the valley there was a constant howl of grief from the golden-winged bat dragons, and the sound pierced the rock walls of the cave, bringing tears to the eyes of all the living people, and many people, including the dragoons, were crying out in grief: Did we do the stupidest thing...... A few days later, when the gang was dizzy from hunger, the Golden-winged Bat Dragons finally withdrew, leaving none behind. They continued to wait for a long time before they dared to sneak out of the cave, and then they found that everything on the ground was gone, and the entire valley, including the nearby mountains, had been cleaned by the golden-winged bat dragons, and there was no trace of the war......
Syracuse sighed at the end and ended the tragic story with a long silence.
I let out a long sigh, stood up, and silently poured a glass of water for Syracuse Moon. I took the opportunity to take a look at the feet of Snow City Moon and Ah Bing...... This time, the two of them were relatively honest, and they didn't press each other's feet as affectionately as they did just now.
"After the story is over, I should also go to take a shower and sleep, hehe, Leng Yu, please leave you on duty tonight......" After Xue Chengyue finished speaking, she stood up with her water glass, waved at me, and walked into her suite.
"Aren't you going back to your dorm?" I asked, curiously.
"Hehe, no, you're so weak anyway, you can't pose a threat to me!haha......" Syracuse smiled and grimaced at me, then closed the door.
Ah Bing and I sat quietly in our chairs, still thinking about the story in our minds.
Suddenly, the door of Xue Chengyue's room opened, and Xue Chengyue had already changed into a snow-white bathrobe, and ran into the bathroom with a smile and a "crackle" of slippers, and then locked the door. After a while, I faintly heard the sound of Huahua's water.
I clutched my forehead helplessly, wondering painfully whether to kick open the door and rush in to peek. After a fierce ideological struggle, and under Ah Bing's curious gaze, I had to dispel this thought.
I smiled at Ah Bing and said, "Hey...... I'm really not used to living with a girl, you go wash after she washes, call me after washing, I'll go to sleep first. ”
Lying on the bed, I still can't help but imagine the sultry posture of Syracuse Moon in the bath...... After slapping myself hard, I calmed down, and suddenly remembered the scene I had just seen......
Forget it, if it's not your own, don't force it anymore...... For me, the most important thing is probably to study, not to mention that Master often enlightens Dumb in front of me, who always laments the failure of his first love, and says, "Why bother, there is no grass at the end of the world?......
But...... The whole world ...... There's only one Syracuse month......
With a wry smile, I covered my face with a pillow and closed my eyes......
