Chapter 249: The Sorrow of Knowing His Death but Staying in the World
In the face of everyone's concern.
Shadow just waved his hand lightly and patiently explained:
"Don't worry, I'm just trying to save some energy."
"Although I have some information in advance, there may be an unexpected situation at any time."
"I have to conserve my strength and be ready at all times."
"Even if there are more powerful demonic beasts lurking around, I must have enough strength to deal with them."
....
"Wow~"
Paimon suddenly realized, "Ying is worthy of being a battle-hardened general~"
Paimon and Ying believe Ei's nonsense.
But Yue Yang didn't believe a word.
The Demon God is an extremely terrifying combat force in this world.
Not to mention the powerful shadow.
Even if it is a demon god with weak combat power like Ultimate or Heuria, it should not be easy to deal with the Beast Realm Hound Dog.
But Shadow didn't want to say it.
Yue Yang is not good at pursuing it uninterestingly at this time.
If you have any doubts, let's wait for the matter of the god Sakura to be resolved.
So, Yue Yang turned his head, looked at the root of the tree, and said lightly, "This time, the root system seems to be more seriously injured."
"Huh~ Light is coming out again!"
Paimon's exclamation.
I saw an old man blindfolded, appearing next to the root of the tree.
The moment he saw the old man, his eyes changed slightly.
I saw her walking towards the old man's remnant soul, and said uncertainly, "You are... Ancient Mountain?"
"Huh?"
The blindfolded old man had a hint of surprise in his tone.
Then he turned in the direction of the shadow, and said uncertainly:
"Is it the Shogun?"
"Didn't you go to a distant battlefield?"
"How... It's back?"
…
Furuyama said.
Everyone immediately understood that this old man was also one of the dead souls who died years ago.
Kageya turned around and introduced to the crowd, "Let me introduce you, this is Gu Shan, the tea maker who has been following me."
"The ancient mountain can't be seen, but it has a taste far beyond ordinary people."
"The tea he brewed with his own hands is one of the best in Inazuma."
...
Got the praise of the shadow.
Gu Shan also said modestly: "You have won the award, but you are always with the general, practice makes perfect."
"Sounds like... The Shogun is still bringing guests with him."
"In this situation, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to serve you decent refreshments."
"But if you don't dislike it, please sit down and rest for a while."
Speaking of this, Furuyama couldn't help but sigh, "After all... It's a mess out there..."
...
"Uh... Right~"
Paimon immediately chimed in, "It's all wild beasts out there, it's already pitch black, and a lot of people are hurt..."
As soon as the other three heard this, they knew that Paimon wanted to follow Gushan's words and learn more about the past.
"I see... Have you already called here?"
There seemed to be a heaviness in Furuyama's voice, and he continued, "The residents of this neighborhood... It's almost all gone."
"They wanted to take the old man away, but the old man didn't think it made sense, so he didn't go with them."
"After all, the general is here, and the old man has no reason to escape."
"If this is something that even the general can't do about it, where can the old man go?"
…
"Hey, why aren't you flustered at all?"
Paimon was a little puzzled.
Because this old man is completely different from the soldiers he met before.
he
's mood is very stable and he doesn't face the panic of disaster like everyone else.
I saw Furuyama continue.
"Flee to live."
I want to live because there are still unfinished things in life."
"And the old man... I just don't have that kind of thought, and I don't have any regrets."
"When the Shogun tastes tea, she often tells me about her dreams."
"Listen to her..."
"The old man, who has been blind for many years, is as if he has traveled through the most beautiful mountains and seas in Inazuma."
"Over time, the old man gradually understood her romantic and dreamy thoughts..."
…
"Romantic and dreamy ideas? What is it?"
Paimon looked curious.
Shadow's eyes were also full of emotion, and he couldn't help but recall the time back then.
Because only Ei himself knows.
Furuyama wasn't her tea maker because she didn't like tea.
Gushan's true identity is that of her sister Raiden Zhen's tea maker.
I saw Gushan continue: "She always said: all good things will change and disappear due to the passage of time, so in life, you must enjoy it and leave no regrets."
"So, even if the status quo is bad, the old man has gone through countless good things, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with..."
...
"Perhaps, that's right..."
Shadow nodded darkly.
And Gu Shan also turned around and said to Ying with emotion:
"It won't be long before the old man will say goodbye to the general..."
"It's a pity... I didn't have the chance to see the Inazuma that was rebuilt by the shogun after this catastrophe..."
"But it doesn't hurt... Everybody is saying that Inazuma has turned black."
"But in the eyes of the old man, Inazuma has always been black..."
"After the catastrophe, there will be a new life..."
"Besides, even if the old man survives until then, he will only be an old blind man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings... Hahahaha... Forget it."
....
Furuyama's kind and self-deprecating smile made everyone fall silent.
Because he is different from the soldiers before him.
From these words, it can be seen that Furuyama should have known the fact of his passing.
How sad it must be to be a person who is still conscious, but he is already a deceased person.
But he is still enlightening and comforting everyone, and he is still laughing at himself to adjust the atmosphere of chatting.
But...
Everyone's mood is still very heavy.
Gu Shan seemed to feel everyone's emotions, and quickly changed the topic and said:
"Oops, sorry, confused."
"The general is here, and there is no tea, what kind of system."
"The old man has said so much to himself, but he hasn't brought the tea yet."
As he spoke, the old man turned around with his pretend: "Wait a moment, wait for the old man... Well, what about the tea set? Isn't it time for them to leave... Crashed it, right?"
"Didn't you? It's right at hand..."
Furuyama looked distressed: "This is really... The Shogun and the guests smiled..."
"We know where to have tea sets~"
Paimon said anxiously.
"How can you let the guests pick it up in person~ This is too bad for etiquette~"
Furuyama pretended to be panicked.
But Yue Yang could clearly see that the corners of Gu Shan's mouth faintly raised a touch of bitterness.
Seeing this scene, Yue Yang and Ying knew.
When I talked about drinking tea just now, everyone was guided by Furuyama.
