Chapter 36: Fate

Hayes looked up in surprise, and the Cloud Hunter stared at the two of them with an expression similar to a smile.

After all these years, your call still makes my heart flutter... Hayes stood silently in place, his heart full of mixed feelings.

Do you finally remember? So how should I fulfill my responsibilities as a brother on this occasion of reunion after a long absence?

So he opened his arms and smoothly hugged his sister into his arms, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, his gray-brown pupils were filled with hope, and even the long black hair spontaneously fell on Ruoya's beautiful cheeks, and then suddenly the ends were soaked with tears. At this point, there was no worry or sorrow on Hayes's handsome face.

The ending is dramatic... The cloud hunter on the side had a smile on his lips, but he was silently thinking in his heart: if it wasn't for the black hand who sent her to carry out the mission by mistake, would all this gratifying situation still appear?

Ruoya's sobs were mixed with the joy of the rest of her life, and Hayes's broad arms were like the pure wings of an eagle with its wings outstretched.

"In the days when I lost you, the sky inside me had been pouring rain, and now, a rainbow has suddenly appeared. Hayes let go of Joya's arm, and then whispered softly, "Does this mean that our home is once again whole?

Ruoya's eyes were filled with tears, and she chuckled a few times and said: "At that time, in the church, a priest in a white robe waved a staff and showed mercy above my head, and the divine light flowed in the center of the entire church, and at the same time, there was a light and powerful sound of praise in my ears, and my consciousness became blurred because of this..."

Then my fear transported me to another world, but when the gloomy sky overhead was slowly lifted, the splendor of heaven filled the empty field in an instant. ”

"Bathed in the blessings of God, I was inevitably enveloped by a feeling of comfort that I had never felt before, and then I saw a sharp claw wrapped in the aura of darkness, suddenly rising into the sky, and then a thunderous roar rang out, and it fell feebly, and suddenly turned into smoke and dust, and dissipated with the wind at the end of the world. ”

At the same time, all the memories of the past came flooding back. Ruoya no longer seemed to be able to hide the sourness in her heart, and her voice trembled slightly: "Then the priest said to me in a serious manner, with God's blessing, the evil in my memory has been completely removed, and the next thing that will greet me will be the blue sky above my head and countless beautiful scenery passing by." ”

After hearing all this, Hayes didn't say a word, just looked at Ruoya's face with tenderness, and after a long time, he reached out and gently stroked the tips of his sister's dark hair, and the cloud hunter looked at Hayes suspiciously: "Lord, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Ruoya lowered her head involuntarily, with a slight flush of morning glow on her face.

Hayes looked up, he quickly took out a red hood from his waist, then stretched out his hand, and said to Ruoya with a solemn face: "Then do you remember this? My sister, Ruoya?"

Ruoya smiled: "This seems to be the one that my mother knitted for me on my sixth birthday with the toughest material in the entire Valley of the Eagles, and I have been waiting for a long time, and there are three similar ones, one for you and one for Solo. ”

Hayes breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing in her heart: "Well, thinking about it so clearly, it seems that 'Expelling the Demons' has indeed restored her memory, which is really gratifying. ”

He handed the hood back to his sister's hand, and his face was solemn: "I hope that all of this will usher in a righteous end." ”

At this moment he saw his mother, Rita Grayvalley, wife of the Imperial War Minister, slowly walking towards the center of the hall with a solemn expression.

"Honey, are you feeling better?" she whispered to Ruoya as soon as she stepped through the door, when one of the guards behind him whispered beside Hayes, "Lady Rita's illness has been cured like a miracle since she went to church, and the lord said that she was tired and hoped to rest for a while. ”

Hayes was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Could it be that because of Ruoya's return, the knot in her mother's heart was finally opened, so there was no problem of illness?

At this time, Mrs. Rita also began to pay attention to the situation here in Hayes, and she said unhurriedly, "Are you surprised?

Hayes shook his head: "This world is already full of all kinds of incredible miracles, and to be honest, I always thought that Ruoya's return was indeed enough to make your condition completely well. ”

Mrs. Rita sighed softly, but her beautiful brows frowned slightly: "Unexpectedly, after so many years of lingering on the sickbed, I didn't even know that my children had quietly grown up and understood so much. ”

Hayes smiled slightly, and said casually, "This matter has been successfully resolved, thanks to your fate pendant." ”

Ruoya on the side suddenly had tears in her eyes.

Is this my hometown? I have a feeling that I haven't felt in years...

At this time, Hayes gently took her arm: "Don't worry, you've arrived home, so don't be afraid, now, just go back to the house and rest, and we'll take care of dinner." At this time, he suddenly whispered a little playfully: "If you still want to go to the kitchen to steal fresh rose cakes as before, remember to call me to help..."

Ruoya turned her back: "But how do I feel, even the current Solo is much more reliable than you." ”

An hour later, tired and sleepy, Hayes perched high on the top floor of the castle with the joy of recovering his loved ones, gazing out over the surrounding landscape.

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: to talk about the Valley of the Eagles, located in the southwest of the Holy Wing Empire, under the effective rule of the Gray Valley family, it had unknowingly spent hundreds of years of peaceful and green spring and autumn in the natural environment of the morning and twilight.

But now, the war drums from afar are coming, and how to ensure that the foundation of the Gray Valley is not shaken has suddenly become an urgent and important issue.

At the same time, Hayes turned his head almost naturally, and he found that a glittering mirror, for some time, had quietly been placed horizontally in front of his eyes.

The mirror was immaculate in color, like the waters of a lake of the gods, and was surrounded by intricate lace made of gold, a part of which Hayes could clearly see, carved into the shape of a dragon with wings ready to fly.

Scold... This must be the legendary magic mirror... Hayes thought as he reached out to touch the mirror, but to his surprise, the moment he touched the mirror, the whole mirror suddenly disappeared completely.

Then he felt an indescribable attraction behind him, but when he turned around, he found that the magical mirror had reappeared in front of his eyes at some unknown time.

A mirror that follows you like a mirror... This is not a good sign, but what kind of person would dare to use such magic on my territory? He was a little annoyed for a moment, but he turned around several times in a row, and the magic mirror always appeared in front of him impartially.

The smooth mirror shimmers, like a kind of mockery and sarcasm with deep meaning.

If you have the courage, hurry up and show up, Hayes smiled slightly, and then suddenly exerted his strength.

In an instant, the longbow behind his back was clenched in his hand, and then he confidently bent his bow and arrows, and in a heroic gesture, swooped three arrows, and shot towards the magic mirror in front of him.

At the tip of the arrow, the flash of magic took on a pale blue color, and a smile hung on the corner of Hayes's mouth: I have never used such a decisive series of magic arrows since I practiced archery, and this is my respect, so please show up quickly!

However, the miracle did not follow, and after a while, Hayes's eyes couldn't help but widen, and to his surprise, the moment he attacked the mirror, the three magic arrows seemed to sink into the bottomless sea, and after drawing a circle of flat ripples, they disappeared into the inside of the magic mirror, as if they had been swallowed and absorbed.

At this moment, an old and bellish voice suddenly sounded in his ears, as if it came from a distant heavenly kingdom.

"Don't worry, young man, I don't mean to harm you, it's just that I need you to focus your gaze on the surface of the mirror. The voice said. Hayes panicked slightly.

What to do, to run away, or to follow his instructions?

His eyes naturally swept over the surface of the magic mirror, but he was shocked to find that the scene in front of him had changed its original appearance in an instant.

On the spotless white mirror just now, a raging city suddenly appeared, and the fire rose into the sky, which was very strange, as if it had been baptized by a demon.

Hayes looked at it: what? The gray-brown castle building, the evergreen vines that stubbornly resisted the burning tongue of fire... Also, the countless fleeing civilians and guards, everything seemed so familiar...

At this time, he suddenly seemed to realize something: the scene itself in the picture made people feel like they were in a fantasy world, this city... He froze, but then his emotions almost collapsed: Isn't this the beautiful hometown at his feet: the Valley of the Eagles?

Hayes thought angrily: where did this come from, how could the Valley of the Eagles have been so brilliant for hundreds of years, how could such a disaster have befallen for no reason!

"This is your future, child. According to the ancient "God's Prophecy", one day in the future, evil will cover the sky, and disasters will come to the world overwhelmingly, and the infinite pure land will be all turned into ashes, and there is no possibility of reversal and recovery, and the dark god will give this world absolute silence and death, and then watch all the truths and miracles in this world, little by little by the demonic flames, and then cease to exist in even any dark corner. ”

Hayes stared at the surface of the mirror in amazement when he heard the old voice sigh suddenly. Immediately afterward, he noticed that the picture in the mirror had changed again, and this time, a handsome young man with silver hair and blue eyes appeared on the picture, his face was calm as water, but it exuded an unusual aura.

"Who is he? I don't know him. Hayes shouted as he looked up into the sky.

"He is the man you are destined to be, and only if all of you work together will it be possible to overcome the near-absolute darkness and terror of the future... Now, I wish you all the best of luck. ”

All of a sudden, everything in front of him vanished, and then a whirlwind of the world flooded his mind, and after a while, Hayes found his eyes and saw the furnishings of his bedroom again.

What's going on? Is it just a dream? But it's really strange, and I remember it so clearly... He shook his head and caught a glimpse of the guards approaching him respectfully.

"Lord, after Lord Ruoya left, you knelt down on the table and rested for a while. Lady Rita, fearing that you would be overworked, reminds us to bring the silk cloth dipped in water to you. ”

"I'm tired. Hayes wiped his face with a silk cloth and immediately felt refreshed. It's over... He thought: Maybe everything in the dream was a hint from the gods in my head...
