Chapter 11: "The Souls of the Dead"
In a very nice two-story building in the civilian residential area of the imperial capital "Hatutas", Xiuyi's parents looked at the orc girl brought back by Xiuyi, and were a little overwhelmed.
"Should we say yes??" asked Huey's mother, looking at the little girl, to Huey's father, Itaried.
Itaried sat down in his chair and propped his forehead with his hand on his forehead, looking like he had a headache, and it took a long time for Itarid to say, "It's good that the child decides for himself." β
Xiuyi's mother looked at Itaried with some surprise, she really didn't understand what he meant, Xiuyi brought back a little girl without explanation, saying that it was just a marriage partner, after all, it was the Archangel's request by name, Xiuyi didn't want to say anything, but what nonsense are you talking about!
Itaried didn't seem to see the confusion in his wife's eyes at all, and asked Huey, "Have you decided on the wedding venue?"
"What!?" Huey's mother looked at Itaried in shock, if she had only been a little surprised, but now she was completely shocked. In response, Itaried just waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
Huey's mother sighed at this, and no longer had the idea of stopping it, and walked over to Itarid, sat down in the chair next to her, and looked at Huey with an unhappy expression.
Xiu Yi looked at Lily a little shyly, and then said, "Lily, she likes maple leaves, so I want to get married in an autumn, the most beautiful place for maple leaves, but..."
"I just don't know where it's best, right??" A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a white mage robe with blond hair and golden eyes, walked out of a nearby room.
"Does my brother know??" Xiu Yi looked at his brother who had just come out of the room.
Xiu Yi's brother looked at the cold Lily, sighed softly, and then said to Xiu Yi, "I don't know where the maple leaves are the most beautiful, but I still know where the maple leaves are the most beautiful in the Shengyao Empire. β
"Where?" Huey asked, looking happily at his brother.
Looking at Xiu Yi who was full of joy, the elder brother sighed lightly again, and then said with a smile, "In the small town of Hamelson in the north, during the Fox Spirit Festival, the maple leaves there are the most beautiful in the entire Shengyao Empire. βββ
In a very beautiful maple forest, there are dozens of people, looking at a couple with a smile, orange maple leaves spread on the ground, like a gorgeous carpet.
An old man wearing a pure white robe of the Holy Cross stood in front of the two bridesgweds and solemnly asked the bridegroom, "Will you marry Lily?
The bridegroom nodded with a happy smile, "Yes, I do!!
The old man asked the bride again, "Will you marry Huey, whether you are poor or hungry?"
The bride's face did not have the happy smile of the groom, there was only the calmness without the slightest expression, and she nodded slightly, "I do." β
The old man sighed slightly in his heart and said to the bridegroom, "In the name of the god of light, I declare that Sie-Ra, Rondis and Lily are married!! β
In the blessings of the guests and relatives, Huey knelt down on one knee in front of Lily, gently raised Lily's hand, carefully brought a gold wedding ring inlaid with gems to Lily's hand, and then slowly stood up and kissed Lily's lips gently-
The spirit fox shook gently, the maple leaves were like blood, the colorful clothes were dressed, the guests were full, the wedding vows, the songs were fluttering, the jade fingers were golden, and the kiss was gentle. Xiu Yi leaned back to the maple leaf, smiled wryly, and sang softly.
"Do you regret it??" "Falaia" asked in a strange tone, looking at Xiui's bitter face.
"Regret??hehe, I don't regret it!" Xiu Yi shook his head, he didn't regret it, just a little heartache.
"Yes, I think you have more of a sense of responsibility to your wife, after all, I didn't hear the fact that she loves you from your words, and you probably do the same to herβ" Falla didn't finish her words, she was afraid that Huey might be angry, but Huey wasn't.
"Maybe?" said Xiu Yi lightly. His figure is silent and desolate, just like the bones on the land of Hades, indescribable sorrow, the undead, in the end, are just some poor and pathetic souls, what is the meaning of the misfortune before life and the desperate struggle after death? ?
The dark blue of the soul fire is that the soul of the dead is already cold, even if it is already cold and biting, why pursue anything... What are you pursuing? Family?love?or something else?Huey thought about it for twenty years, but he never thought of an answer, he didn't know what his belief in wanting to go home was, it could only be attributed to the word responsibility, but... Is that really the case? Maybe I just want to know how I died...
In the evening, at the entrance now, "Falaia" smiled and said to Xiu Yi and the others, "Although there are some unhappy things today, I am very happy, and I hope to go to see the maple leaves together in the future, goodbye." β
With that, she walked towards the center of the town, looking at her departing back, Xiui smiled and whispered, "Although it makes you a little unhappy, I wish you a happy birthday, Your Majesty the Goddess." β
Huey's voice was so soft that Kami, who was a fierce spirit, couldn't hear it, but Huey knew that "Falaea" could hear it, because he was far away, and suddenly turned around and smiled and waved at him and Quitley.
When the figure of "Faria, Mai and Fry" completely disappeared into the bustling streets, Huey took Quetley and Phila and walked towards the inn where they were staying.
Walking on the road, Xiu Yi bought some kalin fruit from the shop next to him, prayed silently, and then gently took a bite of one of the kalin nuts.
The unique sweet taste of Kalin fruit made Xiuyi's cold heart beat slightly, and the things he loved before his life may no longer be there, right? ?
Although it is a false mana, it can indeed make him feel the taste, smell, temperature, and other things before he was alive, but how can this be?
Looking slightly at the south where his hometown is located, Xiu Yi's heart sighed slightly, "I am dead after all..."
Quietly ate the carlin fruit in his hand, feeling a completely different taste from before his death, sweet but not as much as the taste he liked, think carefully about the kalin juice in the morning, maybe it is the same, right?
