Chapter Seventy-Five: The Strange Old Man

After Merge and the others walked out of the Hunters Association, Su Bai raised his hand and greeted the round-faced young man who was asking others on the side of the road.

The round-faced young man walked up to the two of them with a smile, and after learning that Merge and the others were going to go to the Tianyue Mountain Range with the Rising Sun Hunter Group, the round-faced young man immediately smiled, and the smile on his face was as bright as the wild mountain flowers that bloomed in early spring.

After Merge and the others signed an accompanying agreement with the Rising Sun Hunter Group represented by the round-faced youth, and then the round-faced young man and Merge and the others made an appointment to meet at the city gate at noon, and left Yue Fancheng with the Rising Sun Hunter Group and set off for the Tianyue Mountains, Merge and the others took the broken horn and walked around Yue Fancheng.

While chatting and wandering around, Moge, Su Bai and Broken Horn slowly came to the city gate.

"Su Fat, I want to go and observe Yue Fancheng's city defense alchemy array, do you want to come with me?" Mo Ge looked up at Yue Fancheng's towering and majestic city walls, and said to Su Bai, who was looking around beside him.

Su Bai frowned, waved his hand again and again, and said, "If you don't go, don't go, what can you see if you break the city wall......

"I'll go shopping again to see if there are any snacks I haven't tasted. Su Bai looked around and said to Merge.

"Good. Merge nodded, turned his head to the broken corner on the side and asked, "You follow Su Pang to eat, or follow me to see the alchemy circle within the city wall." ”

Without waiting for the broken corner to choose, Su Bai laughed and said: "The broken corner must follow me, what is there to see in a broken wall, every city is not the same." ”

However, it was not as Su Bai thought, and after listening to Merge's inquiry, Broken Corner arched Moge with his head, saying that he would follow Moge to observe the city wall of Yue Fancheng.

"Okay, good......" Su Bai pointed to the broken horn, and then pointed at Merge, and said angrily: "You are ruthless enough to break the horn!"

With that, Su Bai turned around and walked directly towards the dazzling alley.

Seeing that Su Bai was also angry and jealous because of this trivial matter, Merge smiled helplessly, and shouted at Su Bai's figure: "Don't forget to go to the city gate before noon to exchange money." ”

"Know!" Su Bai roared without replying, and his figure disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing this, Merge pursed his lips and said to the broken corner beside him, "Let's go." ”

............

Murge and Broken Horn slowly walked under the city wall, but before Merge could get closer to the wall to take a look, he was attracted by a rather familiar figure.

In the distance, an old man with dark golden hair mixed with white hair was leisurely strolling along the city wall with a birdcage, while teasing a colorful bird in the birdcage with a smile on his face.

In the bright yellow bamboo cage, the colorful birds are born with colorful and dazzling colorful feathers, which are very beautiful. The colorful birds in the cage looked around, and their eyes the size of rice grains flashed with a clever light, and they looked full of spirituality.

This small multicolored bird jumped left and right under the teasing of the branches in the hands of the old man with golden hair, fluttering its wings of colorful feathers, and sometimes making a crisp birdsong, which made the old man look up and laugh loudly, and the old man seemed very happy.

The reason why Merge was attracted to this funny old blonde man was because after seeing the face of the blonde old man, Merge suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

In particular, the eyes of the blonde old man made Merge feel very familiar, and he always felt that he had seen the blonde old man somewhere.

Merge's eyes had been glued to the blonde old man, and the old man naturally noticed Merge's unwavering gaze and looked in Merge's direction.

The blonde man froze when he saw Merge, then raised his hand and beckoned to him, motioning for him to come over to him.

Merger, of course, knew that it was very rude to stare at someone all the time. Therefore, seeing the blonde old man beckoning to him, Merge's face suddenly had a little embarrassment, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by an adult, his face was full of embarrassment.

With a broken horn, Merge walked up to the blonde old man.

"Old man, I'm really sorry, I just stared at you, I felt that your face was a little familiar, so I was rude for a while......"

However, before the apologetic Merge could finish speaking, the blonde old man waved his hand, signaling that Merge did not care, and asked loudly with a smile: "Young man, I see you coming straight to the city wall, why?"

Hearing this, Merger's heart tightened, and it turned out that the blonde old man had noticed Merge and the broken horn early in the morning. However, it was not strange to be noticed by the blonde old man, after all, it was difficult to wander around Yue Fan City with a giant horned spirit deer, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Mo Ge smiled apologetically, "No, it's the first time I've come to Yue Fancheng, and I'm just wandering around the city. ”

However, the old man didn't seem to hear Merger's words, took Merge's hand and walked to the front of the city wall, raised his wrinkled palm, and gently stroked the cold stone bricks of the city wall.

Ignoring Merge's puzzled expression, the blonde old man put the birdcage at his feet, his eyes resting on the dark cyan stone bricks full of traces of time in front of him, and the old palms kept rubbing the edges and pits on the stone bricks.

"When I was a little boy, my father took me up the city wall to see the warriors returning from victory, carrying the carcasses of monsters the size of houses into the city gates. ”

The blonde old man rubbed against the city wall, his eyes caught in the long river of time, and his thoughts jumped into a long-lost memory.

"I still remember the soldiers who came back, each with a smile on their faces, and a grin on the corner of their mouths, so that they could laugh more freely. ”

"The warriors' iron armor had blood stains that had not yet dried up, flesh and blood that I don't know if it was a monster or a human, and there were deep and shallow scratches and holes of different sizes. ”

"But these are nothing, the important thing is that they are laughing, laughing unbridledly. ”

Although the townspeople who supported the soldiers were still worried, weeping, and despairing a moment ago, when they heard the triumphant laughter of the soldiers, they all laughed, laughed and wept bitterly, and the dark clouds over the town also dispersed at once. ”

"My father touched my head and he said, 'Son, when you grow up, will you be the savior of the desperate, the loser, the unfortunate, and the poor?'"

"He said, 'Can you overcome them, and the demons of your heart, and those who have lost their faith, and their schemes?'"

"Without waiting for me to answer, my father smiled and said, 'One day I will leave you and become the sun that never sets in the sky, and the ghost that guides you in your direction, and I will die and become the light of a roaring war song in your restless dreams in the middle of the night. ’”

As I spoke, my father whispered a war song in my ear. ”

The blonde old man whispered about the past, and Merge, who had a puzzled face, was now replaced by the old man's magical words into his old memories.
