Chapter Seventy-Six: Departure

Under the city wall, the blonde old man stroked the cold and heavy city wall, and Merger's slightly straight gaze fell into the traces of wind and rain on the dark cyan stone bricks, listening to the blonde old man's whispering.

On the side, the only antler left by the broken horn penetrated through the gap in the birdcage and into the birdcage. The multicolored bird in the cage let out a soft chirp, flapped its colorful wings, and jumped onto the antlers of the deer that reached into the cage.

At that time, I didn't have much to think about my father's words, and all my attention was attracted by the laughter of the soldiers and the huge corpse of the monster that the soldiers dragged behind me. ”

"Later, after my father's death, I stepped into the battlefield, struggling with blood and fire, life and death every day. ”

"Time and time again, my comrades and I escaped back to back in the bloody jaws of death. Again and again, we rub shoulders with fear. ”

"Until one day, my comrade-in-arms was hollowed out of his chest and pinched his heart by a demonic beast. The blood of my comrade splattered on my face, and I looked at his cold and blank eyes, and my hands trembling as I held the sword. ”

"That day, for the first time I lost my way on the battlefield, for the first time in my life. ”

"Back in the city walls, we were greeted not by cheers and support, but by faces of disappointment, pain, and even resentment. ”

"That night, I was dizzy in a dream full of holes, and the pain and hatred of the people almost buried me in deep darkness. ”

"Despair, failure, death, heaviness, one after another. I almost felt like I was going to die in a dream as dark as an abyss. ”

But suddenly, the war song that my father hummed in my ears began to echo softly in my ears. ”

"I woke up from a nightmare and found myself lying on top of the cold walls. The starlight shone on my armor, and I felt my father's spirit watching over me. ”

The blonde old man looked up at the sky, a smile on his lips hooked into an intriguing smile.

"At that time, I said to the stars and the deep night: 'Although you are at rest, believe me, your bravery, your will, will be passed on. ’”

"After waking up from a dream that day, I felt like it was time for me to go. In my mind, there is something that is hard to suppress. But that kind of thing can't be described, and even gorgeous poetry can't explain what the fire that is gradually burning in my heart is. ”

"I walked through all the ups and downs, and the crowds of people in the streets, who were overwhelmed and directionless, picked up my sword, and went back to the battlefield. ”

"There are no absolutes in this land. ”

"The Terran resistance has been a fight against the odds, since before I was born, and it will continue to be after my death. ”

"From that day on, nothing could stop me, I kept going, and I left behind my wounds and blood. ”

"It was as if the battlefield had become my stage, and people were staring at my tired figure with puzzled eyes, but I would not explain, I would not plead, I would not apologize, and I would not be ashamed to show my scars and exhaustion. ”

"Because I don't care about death. ”

"Because my heart cannot be destroyed. ”

"Even though I'm just me, I'm not a hero. But I don't care about it, because even the whole world can't satisfy my ambition, my fighting spirit, and my desire. ”

"All I know is that I am fearless, and I will pass on my father's will and war song, so that everyone will look at me, including the darkness to which the tip of my sword is pointing. ”

The old and indomitable voice of the blonde old man lingered in Merge's ears for a long time, and never dissipated. Merge's gaze seemed to sink into the stone bricks of the city wall, and his mind flashed with the story told by the blonde old man, and he fell into a long silence and contemplation.

Merge pondered blankly about the inspiration of the blonde old man's words, so much so that the blonde old man had already lifted the birdcage and left leisurely, and Merge still didn't notice it.

"Merge, what are you doing standing here stunned?"

It wasn't until near noon that Su Bai finished walking around and came to the city gate as promised to get out of the city. Seeing Murge standing in front of the city wall, as if someone had immobilized him, he didn't move for a long time, Su Bai called out Murge with some curiosity. Merge was a clever man who had woken up from his ineffable thoughts.

"Huh?" Merge was interrupted by Su Bai's shout, and hurriedly turned to look at Su Bai.

However, seeing that the person who called him was Su Bai, Merge was sure in his heart, and then looked around, as if he was looking for something.

After looking around for a long time to no avail, Merge frowned and asked Su Bai, "Su Fat, have you ever seen a blonde old man standing next to me holding a birdcage?"

"Blonde old man, carrying a birdcage?" Su Bai shook his head suspiciously, "I didn't see it, I came back from shopping and saw you standing alone by the city wall, and there was no one else." ”

"Impossible!" Murge looked around at the crowd in the distance, but found no figure of the old blond-haired man.

Seeing this, Merge's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "What time is it?"

Su Bai pointed to the sun in the sky, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's almost noon, and it's time for us to meet with the Rising Sun Hunters." ”

"It's been so long?" "Merge looked confused, frowned and asked the broken corner beside him, "Have you seen where the blonde old man went?"

Hearing this, Broken Horn looked at Merge, raised his hooves, turned his head in the direction of the center of Yue Fancheng City, and stomped on the ground a few times, signaling that the blonde old man had been away for a long time.

Merge rubbed the wrinkles between his brows and nodded at the broken corner, "So it's been so long......"

However, seeing that Merge asked about the whereabouts of a blonde old man for a while, and then talked to himself for a while, Su Bai, who was puzzled in his heart, asked Merge: "What blonde old man? Merge, what's wrong with you, aren't you observing the alchemy defense circle in the city wall?"

After rubbing his forehead and pondering for a while, Merge raised his head and smiled at Su Bai, "It's nothing, it's just that I met an old man who is a little weird." ”

Merge stretched out his hand and patted the neck of the broken horn, greeted Su Bai again, and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to join the Rising Sun Hunters." ”

"Okay. Seeing that Merge was reluctant to explain, Su Bai pouted helplessly in response.

Seeing that Merge was walking towards the city gate with a broken angle, the grinning Su Bai didn't think much about it, and hurriedly followed Merge's footsteps.

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

Outside the city gate, Moge, Su Bai, and Broken Corner were standing on the side of the road, chatting with smiles on their faces.

"Merge, Su Bai!"

At this time, the round-faced young man who had just walked out of the city gate saw Merge and the others at a glance, and hurriedly waved to Moge and Su Bai.

"At this time, the leader of our Rising Sun Hunters, Gavin. ”

The round-faced young man came to the front of the two of them with about fifty people, pointed to a middle-aged man with a scarface standing at the front of everyone behind him, and introduced to Merge and Su Bai with a smile.

Su Bai nodded, and smiled at Gavin, the scar man: "My name is Su Bai, and the one next to me is called Merge, and he is my friend." The giant horned spirit deer next to Merge is named Broken Horn, and it is the spirit beast companion of the two of us. ”

Hearing this, Gavin grinned, a fine light flashed in his eagle eyes, and smiled at Su Bai: "I am the leader of the Rising Sun Hunter Regiment, Gavin." ”

"I hope that Captain Gavin will take care of him along the way. Su Bai nodded and said with a smile.

Gavin hooked the corners of his mouth, the scar on his face looked a little hideous, and he looked up and laughed, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

"Brothers, let's hit the road!"

The round-faced young man greeted the people behind him, glanced at Mo Ge and Su Bai again, and then laughed and yelled.
