Chapter 181: Ten Years (Part II)
"Spark, where have you been all these ten years?"
Ark looked at the Spark in front of him, and it seemed that he was still the same as before, only that gaze felt familiar to Ark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Spark shook his head, a smile appeared between the corners of his mouth, and said slowly, "Ark, you have changed. ”
"Am I changing?"
"I've become closer to me, in fact, I've been back for a while, but I've been in the dark, and I'm not in a hurry to see you, but now I feel like I can see you, do you still have someone to be nostalgic for?
Ark's eyes widened, but then slowly fell silent.
He understood what Spark meant, in fact, he thought about it carefully, there was really nothing he couldn't part with now, whether it was his wife or children or the forces he had formed. Now these things have become "cooked". For example, familiar people, familiar things, but there is no longer the feeling of being inseparable from before.
Perhaps, in the past ten years, Ark has gradually begun to feel lonely in his heart, and he has even completely delegated his rights over the years, and the entire Potion City, the entire castle, he seems to be redundant.
This feeling really made him feel uncomfortable.
It wasn't until he met Spark that Ark finally understood, maybe this feeling was felt by Spark for a long time, Spark has always been lonely, the king of the underground world, the shadow stalker, etc., don't they all reflect Spark's loneliness from the side?
It's no wonder that Spark has never been married, nor has he formed any forces, and even apart from Ark, Spark doesn't even have a friend who knows each other.
"Spark, you still tell me where you have been in the past ten years, right? I once sent people to the ancient ruins you mentioned, but they didn't find your whereabouts, and I even thought you were dead......
Since Spark left a message to Ark ten years ago, saying that he was going to explore the ancient ruins, Spark has lost any news since then, and in the past ten years, Ark has even personally visited some ancient ruins, but has not found any whereabouts of Spark.
Yak sent a number of more people, and for ten years searched for Spark's whereabouts, but still found nothing, and Ark even wondered if Spark was dead. But after careful analysis, Ark didn't think that there was anything else on this continent that could threaten the power of the Sparks, and it was very likely that the Sparks were deliberately trying to hide.
As for the reason, Ark naturally couldn't figure it out, but Spark's whereabouts were in the shadows, and he wanted to hide, even if Ark's power was huge, it would be useless.
Gradually, Ark almost forgot about Spark, until ten years later this year, Spark appeared in front of him again, much to Ark's surprise.
Spark looked at Ark's fierce gaze, and then calmly said: "Actually, I left this continent ten years ago, and according to the map left by Orville, I went out to sea to find the other side of the sea, the real forbidden land. ”
"Have you gone to sea in search of the Forbidden Land?
Yak frowned, he never thought that Spark would go to find the forbidden place alone, he thought that Spark would wait for him to go with him, but he didn't expect Spark to act privately.
"No, where can I find a forbidden place in just ten years? The sea is huge, wide and boundless, and I am just familiar with the route according to the map. So, when I felt that time was too long, I decided to return, and I had promised you that I would go with you in search of the Forbidden Land, but how could I have forgotten you? ”
"Pathfinder ......"
In fact, Yak has already understood what Spark meant, and the other party has never given up looking for the real forbidden place on the other side of the sea, so in the past ten years, Spark has only made an attempt.
And now that Spark has come back alive, it shows that there is not so much death and life in the sea, and there are always some opportunities, maybe you can really find a forbidden place.
The key now is Ark's attitude, and perhaps this is the real reason why Spark has to endure until ten years later, and he hopes that after ten years, Ark will be willing to go with him to find the Forbidden Land.
"Ark, it's time for you to decide. ”
Spark's voice was low, he felt that the time had come, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
"yes, it's time to make a decision...... One year, give me another year, and in a year, I'll go with you to find the other side of the sea!"
Ark was silent for a long time, and seemed to have finally made a decision.
"Okay, I'll come back in a year. ”
Spark stood up and quickly disappeared without a trace.
......
Potion City is still as lively as ever, Ark goes to meet Uncle Layna and Celie, and the grumpy eldest sister finally makes up her mind to marry Lorraine.
Sometimes Yak wonders how the taciturn Lorraine can stand Celie?
However, Ark still sent his most sincere blessings to the two of them, and he could see that Celie was no longer young, and the people around her were all old, not the same as before. Even the familiar Celie only spoke a few words, and there was a deep chasm between her and Ark.
This comes naturally, after all, no one can always remain unchanged, time is the best catalyst, and time can change everything.
In addition to Celie, Lorraine, and Uncle Lena, Ark traveled a lot of places and met many people during the rest of the day, and spent the last few months by his wife, Sophia.
The children are growing up day by day, and they are no longer clinging to Yak, and Sophia is also very strict with their education, and Bahrain will definitely be able to become an excellent leader in the future.
"Ark, are you leaving?"
Sophia looked at Ark with a complicated expression, with her intelligence, she must have noticed something in the last few months.
Ark's body shook slightly, and then nodded silently with an expressionless face, but said nothing.
Sophia's face showed a hint of melancholy, and she said in a low voice: "Originally, I was arrogant, and I thought that the person I wanted to marry must be the best man in the entire continent. Later, we were united because of our interests, and you are indeed very good, and you meet my requirements in every way. But then I found out that you are really good, especially in the face of the biggest enemy, time, you seem more calm, as if time can't leave any traces on your body. ”
"Ark, I actually know very well in my heart, you will leave sooner or later, you have been with us on the surface all these years, but I know very well how lonely you are in your heart, you don't belong to this world, you don't belong to any of us! Spark is back, I've got the news, he must have been missing for ten years to explore something, and now there should be results, so you're leaving. ”
"Don't worry, I will cultivate Bahrain well, and the power of the territory has become stronger and stronger over the years, and its strength is not inferior to the Blue Star Kingdom and the Wesker Empire, everything you have established, Bahrain and I will protect it for you. It's just that I hope you can still have me in your heart, and you can still be in Balin, even if you come back in the future, we are all dead, I still hope that you can come to my grave and tell me ......"
Sophia couldn't stop crying, the wise woman already knew that she was about to lose her husband, but she knew that sooner or later there would be such a day.
Ark didn't speak all the time, just hugged Sophia gently, what he was going to say, Sophia had already said it all just now, and any language at this time was extremely pale.
However, this did not stop Ark's heart from leaving, on the contrary, Ark's heart to leave became more determined, as Sophia said, the entire medicine city, the entire territory, the entire castle, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he has him or not now. He doesn't belong to anyone, he doesn't belong to this world, he needs to go after a greater world, to seek more knowledge.
And all this can only be on the other side of the sea! )
