Chapter 64: The Apostle Peter
The sun had just come out, and in the east, a few thin veil-like clouds emitted light, and this light was fiery and red, and it was very brilliant. The intense golden light seemed to laugh loudly, it was contemptuous of the fragility of the thin cloud, and the light was like a knife, cutting through all darkness. In the blue sky, the clouds seemed to be dyed red by the light, a view that Vidor had never seen before. After surviving the catastrophe, people will have a deeper understanding of life, and Victor can now be regarded as understanding the meaning of life.
The earth flows gold, the mountains are red all over, the forests are dyed, the rivers are clear, a Yangtze River is like a soft ribbon across the fields, and the violets are open everywhere. The wilderness is boundless, the whole world is extremely wide, this is not a dark forest, and the Ghost King has sent them elsewhere.
In the air, the birds flew into the distance in rows, the wind with their crisp chirp, the creation of nature that gave birth to all this, all this is just like Victor's mood, vast and boundless, full of pride, once he carried a vision for the future, now he carries his own destiny.
"Victor, thank you for saving me, and in the future, if you have the opportunity, I will repay you. Looking at the distant sky, Forrest Gump breathed a sigh of relief, he finally believed that he had come out of the Nightmare Circus alive.
"Forrest Gump, where is this, where are we in front of us?" Victor asked as he looked into the distance, but Forrest Gump didn't take his words to heart.
Vidor and Forrest Gump stood on a high slope, and in front of them was an endless wilderness, where the city could be seen in the distance.
"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the Arashi Plain, and this plain should be the Arashi Imperial Capital in the distance. "Forrest Gump has been here, this is one of the most famous places on the mainland, this is the most beautiful place in the Arathi Empire, and this place is also called: Violet Ocean.
"Victor, let's go to the Imperial Capital! Forrest Gump waved his wings and smiled with some emotion.
Hearing this, Victor nodded and said yes. Both of them didn't know what to say, Victor was still a little confused, Forrest Gump wanted to explain, but he couldn't put down his face.
"Victor, I'm leaving, you will be careful in the future, remember, don't die, I will repay your life-saving grace. Forrest Gump is a bad guy, but he also knows right from wrong, Victor saved him, he didn't think about revenge, he flapped his wings and flew into the distance.
On the hillside, Victor watched Forrest Gump leave. By now, he had let go of everything he had done before.
With a deep breath, Victor descended the hill, and he headed in the direction of the imperial capital. The sun slowly rose into the sky, and under the sun, his figure became farther and farther away, and he gradually lost sight.
......
The Starlight Continent has six major human empires, the Arashi Empire is in the middle of the six countries, and it is bordered by Lordaeron in the north, the Douling Empire in the west, the Magic Empire in the east, and the Dragon Court and the Continental Alliance Empire in the south, which is the most complex country in the continent. The five countries bordered each other, and the Arathi Empire was constantly suffering from external troubles, and in the past hundred years, it had become weaker and weaker. Victor came all the way to the gate of the imperial capital, and he already saw a bit of a "false prosperity" scene.
The tall gates were mottled with gold paint, and the walls were pitted and dilapidated. At the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city in fancy clothes are constantly collecting money to enter the city, and from time to time someone is robbed of goods at the checkpoint of entering the city, where is this the appearance of a generation of imperial imperial capital soldiers, in the eyes of Victor, this is simply a bandit.
The Arathi Empire has been inherited for thousands of years, and most of the territory has been divided into the hands of the emperor's successive ministers, and now the emperor is old and powerless to govern the country. The locals were accustomed to this situation at the city gates, but Victor didn't know it as an outsider.
"Outsiders, where did they come from, what do they do? Lined up, Victor walked to the gates, and at the gates, one of the city guards spoke.
"I'm from Tirisfa, and I'm going to the Imperial Capital Alchemy Guild. Despite some reluctance, Victor honestly paid the money.
"Hehe, you kid is sensible, go in!" The city guard collected the money and nodded, under normal circumstances, he only collects a silver coin, and Victor has no change on him, which is considered to be cheap.
Victor thanked him and went into the city.
"Boy, do you want to die?" Before Victor could take a few steps, at the gate of the city, the city guard and a teenager quarreled.
"This military master, that's my master in front, didn't he pay the money just now?" the young man pointed at Victor and smiled a little nervously.
The sergeants at the gate of this city are all old fritters, how can they be deceived by this young man's clumsy acting skills, only to see that the city guards pulled out their long knives, and they were immediately ready to call him a man. Hearing the sound of the knife drawn, Victor turned his head, he looked at the door, and he understood.
"This military master, he is indeed my servant, don't be angry, I will make amends to you on his behalf. Victor walked back again, took out a few gold coins and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the city guards, and nodded with a smile.
"Well, pay attention next time, one person pays a money, this rule can't be broken, and I'll spare you this time. After collecting the money, the city guard put away his sword, and his face showed a little satisfaction, and he pretended to teach Victor a few words, and then shook his head with a pretended reluctance. In fact, he was very happy in his heart.
took the boy into the city, and Victor ignored him, looked at the boy, and he went alone.
"Hey, big brother, you're quite rich. Lend me some money!" The boy opened his mouth after Victor, tentatively, he only felt that Victor was a bully.
"Boy, I saved you, if you don't say thank you, I don't know you at all, why should I lend you money?" Victor stopped, and he opened his mouth with his back to the young man. Victor was right with the good guy, but he only helped those in need, and the young man had hands and feet, young and strong, and was not in his help.
"Big brother, I'm from Hinterland, my name is Peter, thank you for what happened just now. The boy bent down and bowed.
Turning his head, Vidor looked to the ground, only to see the shadow of the young man in front of him on his left.
"Say it again, what do you teach. Victor looked at the shadow and seemed to think of something.
"Big brother, my name is Peter, have you heard of me?" Peter got up, smiled, and rubbed his hair.
Silence, Victor was silent, and a memory flashed through his mind that he knew how to preach. He turned to look at Peter.
"Hello Peter, I'm Victor Corleone, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Victor held out a hand and smiled at Peter.
"Big brother, me. Peter wiped his body, a little embarrassed, originally he wanted to pit Vidor, but now seeing Vidor so polite, he didn't know what to do, he felt a little guilty.
"Peter, our meeting is not accidental, it is the will of the goddess Isis, do not be afraid, the goddess is protecting you. Victor took a step forward, and he was already "moved" by Peter.
With some shyness, Peter shook hands with Victor.
