Chapter 24 Go your own way

Chang Le has loved to listen to the blacksmith uncle tell stories since he was a child.

And today's story is the most thrilling for Chang Le, because it is the story of Chang Le's own family, involving the insoluble mystery in his heart, and because of the bloody rain involved in this story, which spans 5,000 years!

In the war between gods and demons 5,000 years ago, the whole world was involved in bloody battles, some people stood in the light camp, such as the human Yurians, and some people chose the dark camp, such as the untouchables and orcs.

The demon army has a cavalry composed entirely of untouchables, wearing black helmets and black armor, with black feathers on their shoulders like the wings of death, rivers of blood flowing where their spears point, and mountains of bones where horses' hooves pass.

No one dared to meet their decisive charge head-on, and sometimes even the black tide had just appeared on the horizon, and the enemy army had already collapsed without a fight.

The cavalry, known as the Dark Knights, was the only one in the team wearing a distinctive silver armor, and they were sure to take the lead in every battle, inspiring everyone to follow behind and charge bravely.

He is the leader of the Dark Knights, the direct ancestor of Chang Le.

However, in the final battle, the demon king Amorika was killed by the Light Saint Emperor Thutmose, and the demon army could not escape the rout after all, and the Dark Knights also suffered a catastrophe.

For four thousand years, the Dark Knights disappeared without a trace, even disappeared from myths and legends, and were completely forgotten.

What people don't know is that the Demon King is immortal, and from the moment Amorika was "killed", his soul has been hiding back in the other world, growing again, and slowly regaining his strength.

The untouchables were reduced to slavery for the next 4,000 years because they had joined the wrong camp.

As the victorious side, the Yurian people became the later nobles and commoners, killing and enslaving the defeated generals under them, and their own population continued to multiply and grow, and finally became the main body of human beings, so the whole world was named "Yurian Continent".

But among the untouchables, there is always a terrifying bloodline, which is the "Son of the Devil"!

The Son of the Demon has a special cultivation method, and his offensive and defensive methods are unpredictable, making even the Dou Qi or the magic master helpless.

It's a pity that they are not easy to reproduce with ordinary people, and the number is scarce, but as long as they can give birth to children, they must be 100% pure and will not be diluted by mortal blood.

Because on the day of the return of the Demon King, he must rely on the blood breath to find them from among the many beings.

At that time, the Dark Knights will surely rise again, turn back into the sharpest sword in the hands of the Demon King, and slaughter all the rebellious rebels in the world!

But the Devil's Son has limited patience, and the humiliation of the untouchables has long since made him unbearable.

Therefore, the so-called "Light Defense War" seven hundred years ago, in fact, the son of the demon couldn't wait for the arrival of the demon king, and took advantage of the revival of a "superior demon venerable", gathered the hateful pariahs, reorganized the "Dark Knights", and followed the demon venerable to launch the war of annihilation.

Unfortunately, the battle was lost, the world hated the darkness and did not want to help the demons, even most of the untouchables were on the side of the light, and the only allies were undisciplined orcs, and the orcs were only good at skirmishes, but they were in chaos in the Armageddon.

In the end, the Demon Venerable was besieged and killed by the human super masters, and the Dark Knights, which had reached tens of thousands, were destroyed again.

It was in this battle that the untouchables were fortunate enough to choose the camp of light, and after the war, they were given their current status by God, and although they were still lowly and were not allowed to intermarry with the Yurians, they were no longer slaves.

The Son of the Demon did not die in the decisive battle, and the backbone of the Dark Knights was also there, and after turning into a secret organization, their purpose was changed to summon the Demon King Amorilica back to the world.

Because to fight against the gods of light, one demon lord is not enough, and the orcs can't count on it, so the demon king must come in person and bring the army of the demon world!

Therefore, the sixteenth generation of the Dark Knights, Chang Le's grandfather Cangming, chose the most direct way: to destroy the seal and restart the gate of the Demon Realm.

This is the origin of the "natural disaster" 17 years ago.

The seal is in the valley near the Western Continent Light Cathedral, and it is guarded by countless masters, and it is said that angels will come down to help in the battle if necessary.

Before setting off, Cangming knew that no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would definitely have no return, so he left the armor to his daughter Dark Lan, the armor itself is not strong, but it is a token of the Dark Knights for thousands of years, and it is a symbol of the head of the Knights.

The old head almost succeeded, and he had already caused the loosening of the seal, but he failed to take off the most critical seal core, the "Dullless Star Diamond", and was finally killed by the masters of the church, and the seal was re-strengthened.

At the age of twenty-one, she was a kind and weak girl who cried for three days after her father's death and then made a painful decision: to disband the Dark Knights.

She hopes that there will be peace in the world, that there will be no more hatred and killing among human beings, and that she is tired of the dark mission that has been passed down from generation to generation, and has decided to live a "life of ordinary people" from now on.

So she quietly left behind the armor and a letter, completely restrained her strength, vowed never to use any skills again, quietly left Gale Wind, the only man in the regiment who supported her, married and lived peacefully in the untouchable area of Kassel.

The members of the Dark Order, who believed in darkness, were unwilling to disband, and some followed the strongest of the Order, the Thunder, towards the dark lands of the south, and finally disappeared. And the rest of the people are looking for the whereabouts of the "Demon Daughter" Dark Lan.

Among them, the only successful Red Flame is the blacksmith uncle in front of Chang Le.

Fourteen years ago, he found Dark Lan and found that the "Demon Daughter" had changed her name to Kangning, lived with Gale Gale, who had changed her name to Yongjian, and gave birth to a son, who was three years old at the time, named Changle.

No matter how much Red Flame persuaded him, Corning refused to change his mind, and always refused to accept the armor, so desperate that he even sought his death.

Chiyan had a crush on Kangning for many years, and couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he built a blacksmith shop near Changle's house, where he lived for fourteen years, and did not inform the other members of the group about the news, and just waited silently for protection.

Chiyan didn't really give up, but instead pinned his hopes on Chang Le, the next generation of demon sons!

"No wonder, Dad said to the city guards who came to arrest people that day, 'When Lao Tzu was killing people, you were still breastfeeding', it turned out that Dad was a warrior of the Dark Knights. No wonder my mother is so beautiful, she doesn't look mortal!"

Chang Le glanced at Chi Yan in his own words, he wanted to blame him for not helping him when his family was in danger, but after thinking about it again, his mother didn't have an accident after all, in Chi Yan's opinion, his father is probably a rival in love at all, and he is very happy when he dies.

Chiyan is forty years old and has not yet married a wife, and his attachment to Dark Lan is really not shallow.

In the end, Chang Le looked directly into the blacksmith's eyes and asked the most crucial question:

"I don't understand, why are you knights loyal to the Demon King, why are you willing to surrender to the dark and evil?"

"History is written by the victors, who is the god and who is the demon? The demon king is in the demon realm? Haha, what is the divine realm? Doesn't the god enslave human beings? God won't force human beings to bow down respectfully and surrender, and pay blood and sweat to worship with all their might?"

Chang Le lowered his head and thought about it:

"Even if the demon king rules the world, it is equivalent to changing another god to enslave human beings, it makes no difference, for their struggle for power and profit, they have to make the blood of the world flow?"

"You are too poisoned by your mother!" Chi Yan's tone became annoyed, "The killing in the world will never stop, you will only be bullied to death if you are a good person and a good person!"

"I'll go my own way. ”

Chang Le replied firmly and stopped talking. He got up and untied his belt, took off the armor that represented the head of the knights one by one, and respectfully placed it in front of the blacksmith uncle, then smiled and bowed, and turned to walk out of the blacksmith shop.

"Well, we'll talk about that later! Now tell me, where did you get your mother?" the blacksmith's voice chased out.

Chang Le didn't respond, and Chang Le was full of wariness against a man who had a crush on his mother.

As for the attitude towards killing, Chang Le is not as pedantic as his mother, he can kill, and there are several targets to kill right now, but he doesn't want to cause innocent people to die for his own hatred or profit.

The Demon King, the God of Light, the King and the Nobles, Changle doesn't want to be loyal to any of them, he is only loyal to himself, to the people he loves!

Two hours had passed, and it was now past ten o'clock, and noon was getting closer and closer.

The bride Alan didn't know when she got up, she was dressed in red at the moment, wearing a full head of flowers, sitting in front of the house, and the fifth aunt and others helped her make up.

A group of middle-aged women are praising Alan for being blessed, marrying such a rich man, and enjoying endless blessings in the future.

Alain looked in the mirror and tried to smile, but there was always some melancholy on his face that could not be hidden.

Chang Le saw it clearly, and his heart was sour, but he still walked over with a smile:

"Alain, just paint your lips, these two lumps on your face are too ugly, like a ladybug!"

Alain exclaimed:

"Brother Changle, are you back?"

Everyone knew that Chang Le was hunted down by nobles, and his appearance in a grand manner would of course cause surprise.

A group of middle-aged women glanced at them with disdain, and some people muttered, praising Alan for choosing the right one, if he hadn't abandoned Chang Le, not only would he not be able to enjoy happiness with the big guy now, but he would also have to hide in Tibet with Chang Le's family, and his stomach would not be full.

Alain's father also rushed out of the house, pointing at Chang Le's nose and shouting:

"On my daughter's big day, don't make trouble!"

Chang Le smiled slightly:

"I'm here to congratulate you, don't make trouble. ”

However, at this moment, he could not take out the gold coins, and with Alain's father's greed for money, I was afraid that all the hundred gold coins would be withheld, and Alain would never be allowed to take one away as a dowry.

"Fellow neighbors, please give me a few minutes while I speak a few words to Alain alone. ”

Chang Le's request caused several middle-aged women to look at each other, with a look of "this kid really wants to make trouble", what can Chang Le say?

The women gossiped about him to death, especially the representative sent by the Hesheng family, who was even more eager to take a broom to kill people.

Of course, Alain's father disagreed, but this uncle was easy to deal with, and Chang Le threw a silver coin to him, stating that "one silver coin is five minutes, and the overtime will be counted separately".

The uncle was stunned for a moment, staring at Chang Le up and down, as if wondering where he got so much money.

But he quickly smiled, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then sent Chang Le and Alan into the house and brought them to the door, blocked the women from the door, and persuaded them to understand, after all, the two children have been better for more than ten years, and it is normal for them to say goodbye for a few minutes.

Besides, everyone gathered outside, and the door was not locked, Chang Le's kid would definitely not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

And Chang Le quickly switched himself to his brother's mentality, to confirm Alain's happiness, and asked as soon as he entered the door:

"Have you really thought about it, you must marry Hesheng? Are you sure he will be good to you?"

As soon as Alain answered "yes", he was ready to take out the hundred gold coins as a parting gift for his brother.

His words were interrupted by Alain:

"Brother Changle, I know what you want to say, but the marriage has been decided, and I can't go back. ”

Chang Le couldn't help but be curious and asked:

"How do you know what I'm trying to say?"

"Yes, because you yourself want to marry me. ”

Alan thought that Chang Le wanted to persuade her to change her mind, so he took out the previous set of rhetoric and criticized Chang Le for being unproductive, only dreaming that he couldn't make money, and his personality was still a bag. And Hesheng can give her a comfortable life and a sense of security.

In short, she used to like Changle because she was young and ignorant, but now she chooses Hesheng because she has grown up and matured.

This kind of conversation has been had once a long time ago, Chang Le didn't want to quarrel anymore, he just looked at Alan silently, and before leaving, he just wanted to remember Alan well, so that he didn't know when Alan finished speaking.

Then the two looked at each other silently.

Then Alain bowed his head:

"Brother Changle, don't be sad, even if I get married, my heart will still be ...... Leave a place for you. ”

"No need, I'm sorry for your husband like that. ”

Chang Le hurriedly changed the topic and took out the bag of gold coins and put it on the table.

"Alain, I'm leaving, I'll never see you again, and in this bag is the dowry I gave you. ”

"What's inside?"

"A bag of very common, very vulgar stuff. Chang Le smiled.

Alain couldn't laugh, and silently sat down on the chair on the other side, and was silent for a long time before he asked in a low voice:

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely far away. ”

There was a long silence again, and then Alain's sobs rang out.

Chang Le couldn't see Alan cry since he was a child, so he got up naturally and walked in front of her, wiped her tears with his fingers, comforted her softly, and teased her with jokes.

The next moment, Alan had already stood up suddenly, threw himself into Chang Le's arms and hugged him tightly, sobbing and shouting.

"Don't go!"

It was impossible for Chang Le not to leave, so he had to pat Alan on the back at this moment, say some comforting words to improve the atmosphere, and by the way, wish her a happy marriage with the butcher, have meat to eat, and have a bunch of children, all fat and cute.

"You're not a blessing at all!" Alain snorted and laughed with tears in his eyes.

Soon after, Alain's father shouted a warning outside the door that five minutes were approaching.

Alain was still reluctant to part, and his mood went down again:

"Brother Changle, I know you're sad, and I'm sad too. But my family is too poor, if I don't marry a rich man, follow you, both husband and wife will starve to death, not to mention children. ”

Chang Le smiled:

"Got it! You've said it 10,000 times, hurry up and see the dowry I've given you!"

Alain glanced at the red goodie bag:

"I guess it's where Changle's brother picked up the stone, it doesn't cost anything, but it's very attentive and beautiful. ”

After speaking, Alan raised his head and stared at Chang Le stupidly, as if he remembered a lot of past events.

What she said was Chang Le's style of doing things, spending time without spending money, this trick worked very well when she was a child, but unfortunately she didn't work very well when she grew up, and a lot of things that Alan wanted could only be bought with money.

But this time Alan guessed wrong, Chang Le looked at the bag and smiled bitterly, it didn't seem to take any thought to send this hundred gold coins.

Alan was still immersed in the memories, looking at Chang Le's gaze with more tenderness, and then pressed his face to his chest, muttering dreamily, pouring out his attachment to Chang Le's brother, without Chang Le, she would never get that kind of delicate care again.

Chang Le couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Alain, you will always be special in my heart, you are my most beloved girl, and no one will be able to replace you in the future. Although there are many women who like me, you are almost the least beautiful of them all......"

"You're bragging again!" Alan laughed, bit Chang Le's shoulder, and said hatefully, "You are Prince Charming, you can save me in the hands of the Demon King, you can still cultivate your fighting spirit to the heavens and the earth, and you dare to brag about anything anyway! Now there are a lot of beautiful women who like you, you can forget about it! Let me brag for you again, you can still make a fortune in the future, and be as rich as Hesheng!"

"Rich like Hesheng?" Chang Le smiled and shook his head, "I'm too unpursued, right?"

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and then the door was kicked open with a "bang", and He Sheng led several brothers to break in, and the butcher's face was trembling with anger:

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't do anything?"

Chang Le jumped into the distance before the door was kicked open, but Ha Sheng should have seen the two lightning separate.

This matter is not easy to deny, for the sake of Alain, Chang Le immediately revised his statement:

"Before Alain gets married, I will hug her again, she herself is not happy, I will come hard!"

"You bastard!" Ha Sheng pounced and slammed his fist into Changle's door.

This kind of ordinary person's punch is as slow as a snail in Chang Le's eyes, so he naturally easily catches the opponent's fist, and then pushes it, causing He Sheng to fall back into the arms of several of his brothers.

"The wedding didn't happen, she's not your wife yet. Chang Le smiled, "If you make trouble again, I will let her repent of her marriage and not marry you!"

"This Chang Le, so powerful!" The brothers looked at each other, and they didn't dare to rush up again.

But Hesheng is the party concerned, and he can't help but show his attitude, since he can't do anything about Chang Le, and it just so happens that Alan ran in front of him and wanted to stop the conflict, so he slapped Alan in the face:

"Cheap, give Lao Tzu a green hat before you have a cave room! If you find out that you are not a virgin ...... by then."

This palm completely angered Chang Le, and before He Sheng finished scolding, he had already pounced angrily, grabbed He Sheng's neck with one hand, and was about to beat him with a fist until his face blossomed.

But at this time, Alain came to stop Changle again, crying:

"Don't fight, don't fight! It's all my fault! I took the initiative to hug Brother Changle! Hesheng should be angry!"

The rest of the people outside the door were also desperately squeezing in, and when the luxurious wedding was about to be held, such a good show was suddenly staged, and all kinds of people in the alley rushed to watch the excitement.

Chang Le grabbed Hesheng, like a broken pocket, pushed him to the corner of the wall, gritted his teeth and warned viciously:

"Let me tell you a word, at any time, no matter what mistake Alan makes, if you dare to hit Alan again, I will beat your out and force you to eat it again!"

He Sheng was oppressed by a powerful force, he couldn't breathe, and his face was flushed, but in front of so many people, he still had to hold on, struggling and shouting, "Take care of Lao Tzu's husband and wife, how old are you", but he was obviously very inward-looking.

The crowd behind was discussing, and the mainstream opinions seemed to be strange, he couldn't marry a wife because he was unproductive, and he came to disturb other people's weddings. And Hesheng, as the richest man in the untouchable area, is willing to marry Alan is already a gift, and two slaps are nothing at all.

Only Alain stared at Changle in a daze, and tears began to flow again. Two men, one beat her and the other protected her, this is too different, but the one who beat her is the man she is about to marry.

Chang Le let go of Hesheng, his face turned pale, and came to Alain:

"You have to think carefully, a man who beats you before you get married, do you really want to marry?"

Alain sobbed and bowed his head.

Several of Hesheng's brothers, as well as a group of aunts and aunts, ridiculed one after another, saying that Chang Le, a poor boy, came to rob his wife with the richest man in the untouchable area, and he must have not woken up from his dream at night.

Chang Le turned a deaf ear to this, just waiting for Alain's answer. He hopes that Alan can know how to choose happiness, so he will not say anything at this moment, "I am richer than Hesheng", which is equivalent to pushing Alan to choose wealth, which is very boring.

Alain was so focused by everyone's eyes that he couldn't raise his head at all, tears dripped to the ground one by one, and only after a long time did he reply in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Brother Changle, I have to marry Hesheng. ”

Chang Le's heart was cold, and then he sighed longly, lifted the gold coin bag from the table, and brought it to Alain:

"Alain, I hope you've made the right choice. When you get married, my brother doesn't have any good gifts, so he will give you some money as a dowry. ”

Chang Le deliberately emphasized the word "dowry", which was also said to everyone around him, so as not to be detained by the old man.

"Isn't this a stone?" Alain took the bag blankly, and due to his lack of mental preparation, his hands fell, and he was almost taken by the heavy bag, and half of the gold coins in the bag were spilled, and the gold rolled all over the house.

Chang Le didn't linger anymore and immediately pushed away the crowd and left.
