Chapter 24: Heroes or Not
"It's not the best story ending I've ever heard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Bai Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead so that it would not continue to flow into his eyes: "Why do I feel hotter and hotter?"
As he climbed the mountain, Bai Ye's body gradually became hotter and hotter, he thought at first that it was because he had not exercised for a long time, and the reason why his body was empty at the beginning of his recovery from a serious illness, but since he had climbed to the top of the mountain now and rested for a while, why did he still feel the heat like sulfur from his breath?
"Your best story doesn't end up sweating profusely, White Night," Amis looked up at Agamemnon's extinguished lava body with respect, "Even if he dies, the body of the Lava King still exudes heat, otherwise why do you think the templar is hotter than anywhere else?" You come and touch it. ”
Bai Ye stretched out his hand suspiciously, and when he touched the stone sculpture, he really felt a little hot, and the heat seemed to be pulsating, intermittently rising and decreasing, as if it was ...... The pulse is the same.
"Maybe your story of Agamemnon is true, unless there's a volcano hidden in it. ”
Bai Ye exclaimed.
Amis smiled slightly, he turned and took a step towards the cliff, turned his back to the white night and said, "You know, for me, I don't need any evidence to prove that this story is true, when I first heard it when I was very young, I was convinced, because it was the story that my father told me, and I always believed in what my father said. He just returned from the Military Academy in Ostend, and people always adored him, calling him the future general, he was so intelligent that I admired him. But...... But since the death of his mother, he has changed, he has become a heavy drinker, and even his work has been left behind, and his family has not taken care of it. In the end, I was left alone with the old drunkard. But I could not leave him like anyone else, for I understood his feelings, and how could I blame him for the fact that he had chosen to fall because he could not extricate himself from the grief of his mother's departure. ”
White Night didn't expect Amis to say this, he weighed his words, hoping not to say anything inappropriate: "You have done a good job, Amis, our relatives are the most important people to us, we must ...... We must protect them as much as we can, even if we have to endure the humiliation for them, we must not give up. ”
Amis did not look back, but kept looking at the bright starry sky, a crescent moon shining with a mysterious silver light, but it could not hide the loneliness of standing out from the crowd.
"Do you know why I only like the story of the lava king Agamenlon, because even if he knows that he is not the opponent of the Heavenly Demon Yurga, but still dies generously for the sake of the common people, this is the end of a great warrior, and for the vast majority of people, they can only live and die in nothing, just like my father, just like me. ”
"You're right, we have to protect our families," Amis whispered, "but if someone like my father can give up easily, why should I pretend I can keep going." ”
He lifted his sleeves, revealing more scars on his arms: "Even if I wasn't a blue cardinal, I would have been bullied in this church, and it's ridiculous that I had fantasized about being one of those disgusting priests, and I was so stupid that my father should have warned me, but he didn't care about me except my mother." ”
After saying that, Amis walked straight towards the cliff, Bai Ye's heart tightened suddenly, and he shouted: "What are you doing, Amis, don't get close to the cliff!"
Amis still moved forward on his own, and White Night hurriedly pulled his legs to catch up with him.
At this time, Amis suddenly turned around, and his tone was no longer the usual meekness, but with a kind of anger and determination: "Don't come here, let me go alone!"
"Where are you going alone?" Bai Ye quickly stopped, stretched out his hands to show that he didn't want to get close to him: "There is no way ahead of you, go back, Amis, let's go down the mountain together, cover the quilt and sleep, and see what to do tomorrow, believe me, nothing is impossible." ”
Amis suddenly left two lines of tears, and he choked up, "I'm sorry, but I can't go back." ”
He lunged towards the cliff and threw his whole body into the air.
Before he had time to think about it, he lunged at him, grabbing Amis by the ankle as he fell. But Bai Ye overestimated his strength, Amis's falling body dragged his body out of the cliff, Bai Ye's heart seemed to jump out of his throat at this moment, he desperately tried to grab something with his other hand, suddenly his fingers touched a tendril-like object, he desperately held the thing, and barely controlled his body.
At this moment, his whole shoulder was sticking out of the cliff, and Amis fell under the cliff, and he had to rely on his own hand to pull it so that he did not fall. Although Amis was very thin, Bai Ye didn't have much strength, so his arm gradually felt the pain of muscle tearing, and his numb fingers gradually lost strength.
Amis gasped for breath, his voice trembling, "Let it go, White Night, you can't save me like this." ”
Bai Ye cursed: "I've never seen a fool like you, you can live but you want to die!" Listen, I don't care about the bullshit stories you tell, but if you die like this, you are not as good as a piece of shit pulled out by that stone man, is that blue-clothed cardinal very powerful, you can poison him, stab him with a knife or anything, even if you fail, being caught and beheaded is a bit backbone, what are you!"
"But I'm not you, I can't be like you. ”
"Like me? Do you mean hiding in the sewers and eating, I can teach you that, but only if you survive. ”
Amis smiled, the most sincere laugh he had ever heard tonight, "You're a good man, maybe one day you'll be a hero like Agamenlon." ”
Although Bai Ye still wanted to speak, he was already weak at the moment, his face was sweating profusely, and the sweat dripped into his eyes, and his vision was blurred. The opposing forces that came from the two hands seemed to tear him apart.
At this moment, Patlem's old voice suddenly came not far away: "The vine in your hand is about to break, and you will be dragged off the cliff." ”
Bai Ye barely opened his eyes and saw a blurred figure kneeling on the ground in the distance beside him, holding a stick in both hands, the tip of which emitted a faint green light.
"Master," Bai Ye's face turned bruised, and he said hurriedly, "Hurry up and save Amis." ”
"I can't do that," said Patlem, coughing violently, "and it has taken all my strength to maintain this vine, sorry boy, I can't do anything anymore." ”
At this moment, Bai Ye felt the hand holding the vine suddenly shake back, and the vine was torn and made a sound of fiber breaking.
At this time, Amis's voice regained its composure, and he said softly, "You have done your best, let me go." ”
White Night had reached its limit at this moment, and he let out a hoarse roar, and at the same time, the vines finally couldn't support it, and his whole body slid out of the cliff again, and half of his chest hung in the air in an instant. At this critical moment, Bai Ye let go of his hand dejectedly.
Amis didn't make a sound when he fell off the cliff. And Bai Ye just closed his eyes and didn't look at what he looked like before he fell.
But when I closed my eyes, my eyes still stinged.
It didn't take long for him to regain a little strength, and slowly crawled back, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"You did your best, kid. With difficulty, Patram held on to his crutches and walked to his side: "Tonight you showed your heroic side again, but unfortunately this time it didn't end well. ”
Bai Ye stretched out his two palms and put them in front of his eyes, one was torn by the vines, the other was also extremely red, and one of the nails was lifted, and a trace of red blood flowed from it.
"I took the initiative to let go," Bai Ye said in a tone without any fluctuation, "I let Amis die, because I don't want to be dragged to the funeral, is this what a hero will do?"
