Prologue 2: Saint-E's Tears (Part II)

When Saint-Γ‰ returned to his home at Hilton, the sun had already sunk in the far west, the moon in the city of Moontown was forever bright, and the houses in the village were flanked by an open-air avenue where the moonlight could finally be sprinkled, and as far as the eye could see, the avenue was silent, indeed, because it was late at night, and everyone had already fallen asleep.

He wanted to take advantage of the silence to jump through the wooden window of the house into his bedroom, and then hide the book quietly, but when he approached the room, he saw a little light shining in front of the door, and the lamp was carried by his burly father, and his lean mother was twisting the filament by the lamplight.

He hurriedly flashed behind the tree, holding the big book in his hand, and when he saw the fire, he realized that his father would use it to burn his book, and he wanted to retreat into the woods, but then he heard his parents' conversation.

"He's gone, how can he run away from home, he must not have an accident, I heard that there are fierce beasts in the woods over there, and he doesn't know the way. The mother's voice was hoarse, as if she was crying, and she had been crying for a long time, "You must find him back, it has been a day and a night, he is so young, if he encounters misfortune, I will not be able to live." ”

"I'll go into the woods, and I'll fight for my life, and I'll bring him back. If the beast eats him, I will fight it to the death, and if it fails to eat me, then I will break its teeth, cut its throat with a sharp knife, and drag it back to make soup and drink. Saint-Γ‰ noticed that his father's other hand was holding a sharp blade, and his voice was unusually firm.

Realizing that he had made a great mistake, he laid the book under the roots of the abyssal tree behind the house, and as soon as his father had entered the woods, he ran out. The joy of his parents was unpredictable to him, because of his insistence, the two of them would never again ask him to be a carpenter, so that he could do what he liked.

As a child, he probably did this, and after he was freed, he spent his days sitting in the nature on the top of the abyssal wood, looking through the pale green elven books and the distant myths about ancient Silan Bhutto.

His face was calm and there was no noise, his eyes were clear and untouched, and he was always silent - no matter to whomever the children asked him to play, he smiled and declined, his parents urged him to rest, he smiled and declined, and groups of children frolicked in the lush forest, and he leaned under the nearby tree and looked through the big book without blinking.

Time passed, when he was nine years old, children of the same age went to the altar of the Moon City to sit and receive the usual education of the elders, he was forced by his parents, but fled from reality, every day in the altar, there was always a lack of his figure, except for the occasional teaching him spiritual knowledge of the pity, no one knew where he went during this time, and no one knew what he did, girls liked him but did not dare to approach him, and boys slowly disgusted him.

Gradually, he alienated everyone, and his days were peaceful, and there was a unique elegance scattered around him, which came from his tranquility, and perhaps from books. It was thought that he had done this out of madness, in order to find the truth in the ancient books that no one understood, but they were wrong, and in fact no one had a glimpse of him - the true face of Saint-Edirondis, the man's calm, like a hot rock hidden in the heart of the abyss, which was undisturbed on the surface, but in fact no one could contain it when it erupted......

Fourteen years old, this is a liberating age for all the boys in the Blue Underworld, and it is also an age of independence. During this year, the parents will complete their obligation to support the boy, and the child must be independent from the parents.

On the first day of the fourteenth year, Saint-Γ‰ called Faith Nice, the girl next door whom she had always liked, with her curly red hair and big blue eyes, and said to her bluntly: "I'm leaving, leaving this place forever, if you love me, come with me." ”

"Where are you going?" Faith had always had an extraordinary affection for Saint-E, and her heart fluttered.

"I'm going to go to many realms, I'm going to escape from here, out of the Blue Underworld, I'm not sure what it is, I've only seen some in books. Saint-Ae's tone was calm.

"But the law says we can't go out. Feslia frowned, "The Gate of Kailosayi (6) is not to be profaned. ”

"This law is a prison. "I'm leaving, I'm going to learn a lot, I'm going to see the vastness and grandeur of the outside world, maybe I'll never return, will you follow me?"

"Saint-Ae, you have often fascinated me, but," Faithlia hesitated, "my parents would not agree, and, I, I really can't go." ”

Saint-Γ‰ smiled lightly, and said no more, and he strode away, so resolutely, that Faithlia fell with eternal regret.

When Saint-Ae returned again, it was eight years later.

Saint-Ae leaned against the branches of the heavenly tree and continued to remember, and in the blink of an eye, a childhood had passed, and his thoughts turned to the years he had returned to Moon City.

It was a summer with the sun blazing and the moon like the wind. With his extraordinary spiritual power and vast knowledge, he served as a spiritual priest in the front of the temple in Moon City. Although his position is high, his heart is full of boredom, life is a never-ending pursuit, and when his goal is achieved, the flame of his life is extinguished and dissipated.

In his spare time, he occasionally returned to his hometown to visit his parents, and occasionally overlooked the city palace that sat like a galaxy on the branches of the Tianmu Forest in the east of Moon City, and the undulating mountains and ravines in the distance.

He had met Faithria, whom he had loved as a child, but she had never moved him anymore, she was so ordinary, walking with hundreds of millions of people. She only knows how to live, to live, and to lose life for the sake of life, but she does not know what life and the true meaning of life are.

At this time, he took the ruby that Fafe Feather had given him as a child.

He remembered those old times deeply, and those beautiful and hurried times often went back and forth in his dreams, which made him longing deeply. He suddenly realized that he had always loved Fafe deeply, and he tried his best to break through this realm and escape just to find her.

He found that what he liked was a feeling, a unique feeling that only Fafe could bring that would make his heart flutter when he remembered it, and his heart would be like a shock once he saw him. There is a kind of affection in the world called love at first sight, without any emotion of gratitude, that is the truest and purest love, he often thinks, probably he and Fa Fu Yu are like this.

His time was spent in longing, he wanted to find her again, his life was full of hope and boredom.

One night, as he walked through the summer breeze in the woods, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps like fallen leaves, and he stood and listened, and walked briskly through the trees to the place where the sound came from, hidden behind a relatively low beech.

He saw the light of the blue moon cast on a slender hand that was slightly raised, and it was a woman, dressed in a velvet cloak and a blue silk robe. Her bright black hair poured like a waterfall, her blue eyes shone like the moon, her clear cheeks could only be described by the invisible wind, and she walked through the forest with light steps, as if she were a frightened lost person.

After many years, it is like a lifetime.

Saint-Γ‰ recognized her countenance, his gray gown inlaid with the ruby he had kept for so long, and now, almost every day, he remembered that unforgettable night, meeting Fabre and his predecessors, the time that almost changed his life, and if it weren't for mercy, he might now be in the little village of Hilton with his father cutting wood, and he was proud of the vastness of the world.

"Fafe Feather. He stepped out from behind the tree, his voice still calm.

The woman turned around, and she stared at Saint-E, and suddenly recognized him.

She could also call his name, "You are Saint Ae in the cave who fears your father's book-burning." Faffle craned her neck and laughed, she ripped off her velvet cloak, her movements were generous, even with every step and demeanor, she stepped forward and hugged Saint-Ae, her smile gradually turning into tears of excitement, "We meet again." ”

"Yes, it's like a dream. Saint-Γ‰ kissed her on the cheek, he was too excited, and poured out his feelings for the aftermath, "I often remember you, you are so unique, I have gone outside to look for you, but the outside world is vast, and then I have no hope, and go to the Great West City (7) to practice the sword." ”

"I've heard of you, it's the king of the Great Western City, Romen Lier, who taught you. Faffjo smiled, "You are an unforgettable child, and I will remember you deeply in the dead of night." ”

On the second day, Saint-Γ‰ rode a white-bearded spirit horse and took Fafe to the northern wilderness.

The sea of dandelions, the dusk of daisies, the waves of the trees are like bagpipes, in such a beautiful fairyland on earth, they know each other and love each other. There is no dust, so pure, who can read the poetry in the eyes of a lover.

In the vast field where the Qing River meanders, the grass is green, and the horses gallop, they chase and frolic.

As the sun set in the west, the two sat on the hill, and Saint-Γ‰ heard Frafaux whisper in his ear, "The days of pleasure are always short, but they can wake you up from your sleep, Saint-Γ†s, I am leaving here." ”

He remembered her gentle and firm words, when her blue moon-like eyes became thin as water, and the tears contained resentment and solemnity, she said: "My old father has said goodbye to me, he is a generation of Ming Jun, have you ever heard of 'Lancheng looks west to the clouds and leaves the wilderness, and the wind and water go to the city'? That is my father's name, and his name will forever be engraved in the monument of history and the hearts of the people!" A usurper who usurped the throne killed him, he was the commander of the white army of his own country, and he had supreme authority, but he betrayed the country with the soldiers of other countries and the blade of his own country, I have never seen such an evil man in my life, he slaughtered 500,000 innocent civilians in his country!"

"He's an admirable person. Saint-Γ‰ embraced her in his arms and comforted her, which reminded him of another horrible thing.

"All shall pass," he told her, "the other day, not far from the west of here, the brown-winged angel Mosuoya slew a hundred of his angelic guards, and then jumped into the elven twilight with his dying sister, and he slew the kind and kind Winterwin, and I think your father must be the same as the Winterwin. What a horrible fellow, I mean, Mosuia wasn't like that before, he had been here, I had contact with him, he, he was just a maverick, and the Great Priest told him to tell the King of Moon City that he was going to hold a council in Lan City, but he came here and didn't mention anything, he just bought lemon pastries in the city and gave them back to his sister, and he told the people that 'the Great Priests wanted me to come, and the implication was to show me the famous lemon pastries here.' ’”

Fa Fu Yu did not comment on this matter, and after a long time, she said, "That king-killing thief Sislang Gexiu? Lairdron holds all the power in his hands, he inherited his father's position, in order to secure the throne, or he is already obsessed with me, he wants to marry me as the emperor, I ran around with the guards, I want to stay in this fairyland that Sislang Geshu may never discover, but, but I can't, as my father's only son, I can't, I must face him, save the people from the fire iceberg, and take back the power that belongs to me. ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'm leaving. She stared into the distance, and a trilling sound came from her mouth, a hesitant firmness, and then she stood up and looked down at everything below the hillside, as if she were a fearless queen.

"No, you stay here. Saint-Γ‰ got up and took her arm, and she turned to look at him.

"You can't beat them, I can help you, things can go slowly. "But if you play some tricks as her emperor and queen, then your life will be over, Fafeu, you know, I can't let anyone violate you, I must leave you behind, stay here, I am the spirit of Moon City, I can plan to help you get rid of him, by assassination, you can return to the country after his death." ”

Seeing that Fa Fu Yu did not answer, he continued: "You can't be reckless, your time is not so precious now, you can, you can stay here for at least a month, I know what kind of territory Nasiah (8) is, and I have heard that Sislang Gexiu is very powerful, you will only fall into the net after all. ”

"Maybe you're right. Fafe pursed her lips and smiled.

Saint-Γ‰veille takes Faffe back to his home at Hilton, where everything is as quiet as the sky. Ten days ago, the two enjoyed this hard-won time together, Saint-Γ‰ took her to Lancheng, to Veros, and then walked through the cloud city that had long been lost as a monument, they bypassed the mist-shrouded empty mountain called the cloud pan boat in the cloud city, bypassed the empty mountain on the empty mountain overlooking the blue hair, and finally on the elf bank of the wooden city, in the empty cave of blue crystal, under the witness of nature and all spirits, the two got married.

Saint-Γ‰ took Frafeus in his arms, and he whispered to her: "I never imagined in my life that Heaven would grant me such happiness as a woman like you. You give me the feeling of being a beautiful elf, lined with the twilight of the sunset, smiling figure. It made me fascinated, I was so fascinated that I could never forget it, and sometimes, I would think, you don't belong to me, you always belong, the elven mountain under the sunset, the twilight river under the sunset. ”

"You will always belong to me, and I will always belong to you. Fa Fu smiled lightly and told firmly, "And the loyalty of this love will last forever." ”

"Faff," Saint-Γ‰ nodded excitedly, kissing her forehead, "for one thing, I must tell you, is the best hope of my life. ”

"What?" Fafe stared at him and smiled softly.

"In the eight years since I walked out of the Blue Underworld, in the distant Great Western City, I have met three dear friends that I will never forget in my life: Agurts, Liulun Priest Luo and Haimo, we have gone through eight years of sword practice together, when we parted, we agreed to return to each other, and travel all over the world's famous mountains and rivers, we call it 'Nine Rivers and Lanjian Companion Tour', and at that time, I will take you to meet them. ”

Faffyu nodded in agreement.

Over the next few days, they made their way through the Radiant Twilight Forest in Wood City to the Hilton in Calasso, returning to the cabin bedroom that their father had built.

At dinner at dusk, my mother's living room prepared a selection of fruit pastries, a fine honey milk, a collection of summer wine, and a red stewed pigeon meat and onions overflowing with brown sesame oil

After dinner, it was dusk, and Fafe and Saint-Γ† sat on wooden chairs under coniferous iron, while a group of children no more than ten years old chased and played in the open alley.

Wearing a blue blouse, a long-sleeved coat, and spacious gray trousers, Fafe looked at the playful children, she could clearly think of her future children, she lay on Saint-E's shoulder and whispered, "Last night, so beautiful, I wish I could conceive your child and ...... like them"

"Everything was so peaceful and sweet, but something big had happened, I must say. Saint-Ae caressed her shoulder, and his face was more arduous than calm and joyful.

"The other day I told you about Namosusia, and he was indeed a maverick, and he killed so many people and then jumped into the river himself. However, because of him, the angels were judged by the Great Division, and the beads that Hasman wanted to get disappeared into the river forever, he said that the angels had lost the things of the gods and offended the gods, and he wanted to banish the 20,000 Angels of Ryuzan Island, and the angels were the guards here, and once they evacuated, the Qing Underworld would become a defenseless and defenseless place, and the soldiers in the five cities had been lifted after the demons were closed (9) and the five cities in the Canggu Mountains had been lifted after the chaotic battle (10), and they swore that they would never fight again, and the guards and spirits in the five cities added up to no more than five thousand, and Hasman wanted to control the power, but no one stopped him。 ”

"Is there a remedy?" said Fafe stared.

"It's already happening. Saint-Ae stood up and shook his head, "Yesterday's thing." ”

He stepped aside and sighed, "Mosuoya was mourning and hesitating in his world, and even at the last moment he could not find a single strong proof of whether he was a true guardian or that he had fallen into such a vain and that the Angel King wanted to defend him, but was attacked by Hasman. Because of Mosuia's disobedience and Silam Bhutto's decisive judgment, the angels were heartbroken and migrated to the end of the distant sea, and the Great Priest Hathman and his subordinates, although they set things up, never expected that the angel king would choose to leave without patience and unceremoniousness. ”

Saint-Γ‰ smiled wryly, "They were not very calm in the first place, and now they have encountered such a big thing. They were completely disorganized, scurrying around like frightened rats. ”

When he said that, he noticed that Fafe was staring at him, she was always so smart. "Someone is going to invade the Qing Netherworld, is the enemy strong?" she asked.

"Yes, there are people. "Saint-Γ‰ didn't hide it from her, he smiled lightly," The enemy is your usurper Sislangesu, and just today, in the early morning, he was discovered by the sentinels in the Celestial Wood Forest, and he was accompanied by ten men, each of whom was carrying a high-quality Ponotz steel knife made by the ancient country of Oschenwitz in the West (11), this kind of knife is extremely hard and fierce, with a serrated edge that is difficult to see with the naked eye, it can easily fold the blade of an ordinary steel knife or even break it, the blue water stone swords in the hands of the non-angel guards cannot resist, if they cut into the skin of a person, the wound is difficult to heal and almost fatal in one blow, this is a group of savages, some of them are dressed in thorny armor and some are bare-chested, They speak with a rough accent and have no taboos, such a person can follow Sislange Xiu must be a group of mercenary dead soldiers, I saw a lot when I was in the Great West City. ”

"Where have they gone now?" Fafe asked, urgency in her voice.

"When they first came here, they didn't know the way, they just wandered in the woods, like frogs sitting in a well watching the sky and finally seeing the sky, and they had left. ”

"No, they won't leave, they will definitely come back. "Phylla is indisputably predicted, "Sislangesius is infinitely greedy, he will take every inch of the land he favors, and he is the one who is valued by the savior Sa God (12), he inherited the blade with infinite curse power that Sa God slew the Great Demon King Yayulong and the three swamp witches, the Celestial Spirit Blade, which is a frost-colored, A narrow blade that is more than nine feet long but only a few inches wide, people with spiritual power can easily pierce through steel, and those without spiritual power are just a blunt iron, and they can't even cut fruit, and the silk cloth is constantly chopped, although it has a blade that looks sharp, you have to pay special attention to it, my father was killed by that strange sword. ”

"Of course he'll come back, but you have to believe that he's bringing about his own destruction. Saint-Γ‰ smiled lightly, "It's just that Tiansai (13) has gathered 10,000 troops, and he will definitely send troops to come." ”

"Damn, damn it, I must have brought him here, he must have followed my trail to get here. Fa Fu Yu was stunned, and her face was full of self-reproach.

"So, what are you going to do?" she looked at him, as if looking for hope in his face.

"If the migratory geese of the angels fly far away, they will not return, and there are only five thousand soldiers who can resist within the five cities, so we will go to the outside world to find help. Saint-Γ‰daux, he frowned, and then smiled, "You stay here, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Fafew, "take me one." ”

"No, it's a long way, it's a hard journey, and it's safe here compared to the outside. Saint-Γ‰ caressed Fafe's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek one last time, and Fafe knew the weight of the kiss.

At night, in his bedroom, Faffyu saw Saint-E's book, which was the one given to him by his predecessors, "Silam Bhutto and the Elven River".

"It is said that Zelambhutto is a paradise on earth, and that the Lady of Heaven is there, and that she makes all the people of Nasijah live in a carefree and beautiful mountain, and I often dream of that place. The skylight opened, and her eyes were like the blue moon outside the window, and she said, "I used to dream that if there was such a place, I would rather go through thousands of mountains and rivers to find it, but now, I feel that this bedroom with you is Silam Bhutto." ”

"There will be. Saint-Γ‰ listened quietly, silently in his heart, and he found that he could not do without Fafe at all, and that a man who was passionate and deep would love it with a very quiet heart, and a man who loved it with a serene heart would be especially warm and deep. However, he had to get out of here, and the King of Moon City had called to him more than once, and he knew the severity of the situation. When Fafe fell asleep, Saint-Γ‰vee carried his bag and set out on the road, which was his mission and his duty.
