Chapter 58: Publius Virgil
Publius Virgil was born in Brintys, a small city in the north-central part of the Franco-Austrian League.
The Alps north of Brintys block the cold wave from the north, so that the coolness of autumn can still be felt in the winter of Brintys, and the weeds that no longer wilt in abundance provide a good source of food for animal husbandry, and the clear water flowing down from the snow-capped mountains feeds countless creatures. People praise the Alps and sing their praises to them.
Publius Virgil looked up at the northern Alps in winter, and he saw mountains that stretched for an unknown distance, and he saw the snow covering the summits. Growing up on a farm outside the town, Publius Virgil had no chance to learn more and see the sky farther away. However, when Publius looked up at the sky above him, he saw the bright stars. He saw herders in the Alps herding herds of cattle and sheep, and he saw the hard life on the farms. He saw that the blue flowers of the bellflower were like bells hanging from the branches, and when the wind blew, it seemed to make a crisp and pleasant sound. It is also said that the bellflower is like a brass bell ringing in the hands of pilgrims in Canterbury Cathedral in the city, so it is called the Canterbury Bell.
The young Publius often smuggled some of his lunch and gave it to a blind wandering poet in a small town near the farm, and it can be said that it was because of the poet's erudition and Publius's kindness and wisdom that Publius had the opportunity to acquire more knowledge and see the sky farther in his heart.
His father did not survive the physical pain and fatigue in the spring, and Publius, who was nearly seventeen years old, inherited his father's farm. He was tall and slender, and Publius worked well, and after two years he bought a large piece of woodland and hired a large number of workers to raise bees, cattle and sheep. As an ordinary person, he has a very happy life.
It wasn't until he was nineteen years old that he met sixteen-year-old Amalyres. The handsome and beautiful Amalyles was the daughter of the family of the Viscount of Paremont in the city of Brintys. The fanatical and talented Publius wrote many love letters to the aristocratic lady, and here is one of them.
"The fairies of the mountains and forests bring you baskets full of lilies, and the fair-skinned lake fairies give you bright violets and poppy buds, mixed narcissus and dill, cinnamon and angelica and soft wattles, and golden marigolds decorate the tender black lingonberries with extra pretty. I, on the other hand, will personally collect the quincy covered with silvery fluff and the chestnut beloved by Miss Amaluris. I will also add a few wax plum fruits to it, and I will give it a share of honor. I want to cut the green of the laurel and the Qiongying of the peach, so that all the fragrances gather and the fragrance intensifies. ”
Publius was ordinary-looking, dark-complexioned, and even a little stammering, like a farmer's fool. Therefore, the young lady of the viscount family, Amalys, at first associated with Publius with curiosity and teasing.
The pure and kind-hearted Amalules did not experience the vicissitudes of the world and the entanglement of many interests in the world, she was touched by the talent and passion of Publius, and developed a sense of pity and touch for Publius.
However, when the Viscount of Paremont learned of this, he was very angry, for Publius was only a farmer with little strength, and he thought that Publius could only spend his life with cattle and sheep in the mountains. When Amalyus said what his father thought with a melancholy face. The next day, Publius spent ten silver coins for a young man to deliver his letter to Amarules.
"Your father despised me, Amalyres, but he asked me about my fortune and inheritance, and how much milk was abundant in my flock, no matter how prosperous my flock was, and how much milk was as white as snow. I raise a thousand sheep, and they walk slowly on the slopes of the Alps, in the middle of summer and in the harsh winter, and they will not be cut off from the supply of fresh milk. I sing, like Amfion of Dirk summoning herds on Mount Alachintu in Ecta. My appearance is not ugly. The day before yesterday, when the wind and waves were calm, I stood on the riverside and looked carefully - if the shadow in the water did not deceive people, and let the king decide, I would not be afraid of the arrogance of the nobles. ”
Publius, who had never seen the true power of the world, harbored the illusions of a poor poet.
It didn't take long for the Viscount of Paremont to decide to marry Amalylles to Cleudhon, who was also a nobleman. Lyudon was twenty years old, but he was a fourth-class war master, he was handsome and fair-skinned, and served as a second lieutenant in the army.
Clyudon had always been fond of the wonderful lady Amarius, and thanks to his pleas and efforts, the two were finally engaged.
The night before his wedding, Amarules went to a farm outside the city of Brintys. She saw the haggard face and thin figure of Publius in the moonlight, and Amalys, who had wanted to say goodbye to her, was left in tears, and she knew that perhaps she had fallen in love with this talented young man.
The fire burned in Amalys's heart, a feeling of destruction for the sake of some ideal. The two lingered overnight.
Alone in the empty room, Clyudon drank all night. The next day, with a sword in hand and dressed in a formal suit, Clyudon went to the farm where Publius was located. Here, however, all he could see was a small trace of blood in the remaining bedroom.
Clyudon set fire to Publius' farmstead, killing all of Publius' cattle and sheep.
Thinking that they were free, Publius and Amarius took all their money with them and went to another city. However, the angry Clydon, with the help of the force, finally found the traces of the two.
Clyudon stood in front of a somewhat frightened Publius and Amarius, and he looked at the courtyard in front of him. Here, the innocent and idealistic duo created a wonderful home, they spent a lot of money to buy all kinds of furniture, the courtyard was placed with beautiful flowers and plants, and some afternoon sun fell on them.
"I love you so much, Amalyus." Leaving some tears in his eyes, Cleudon stabbed Amalyus to death with a single sword.
Leaving the nineteen-year-old Publius alone in his arms and weeping bitterly, he looked at the pale face of Amalules, and the blood flowed from the two of them.
Publius looked up at the sky, and he saw a gray darkness. He buried Amarules in the southern Alps.
Later, after calming down, Publius continued his life as a herdsman. It wasn't until he began to get in touch with the polishing method of meta points that he discovered a real door to open the world. That's power! Unparalleled power!
Publius had a great talent, which also made the person who had polished him the method of the meta-point take notice of him. Later, a man in black found him, and the two signed a secret agreement.
Now, ninety-one years have passed. The one hundred and ten-year-old Publius had become a ninth-level Star Condensing War Master.
Publius Virgil, who looked only in his thirties, seemed to be no different from what he looked like when he was younger, but there were deep and vicissitudes in his dark and ordinary face. Neither the people of the past nor the present, they could not see in the face of this lonely genius a single ounce of innocence and passion that once was.
At this time, the Marshal Publius Virgil stood on top of the tower, his cloak fluttering in the wind. He looked down and into the distance.
……
Riding aboard the train, Lin Luowen leisurely sipping a bottle of beer from the Alps. He looked at the plains in the distance and the mountains and forests beyond, and the Yuanli train that passed by quickly made a slight vibrating sound. I picked up a magazine with information about celebrities, but of course they just wanted to show people.
Squinting his eyes easily, he was now a little tired after a sleepless night, and leaned back on the reclining seat and fell asleep slowly.
Two hours later, Lin Luowen was woken up by a voice.
"Dear passengers, you have arrived at the Yuanli Train Station in Xiuda City, and welcome to take this train next time, Lin Luowen, a student of Guardian Sword University."
It was the sound of a Yuan Force device overhead.
Getting down from the train station, Lin Luowen stretched, and he looked at the familiar station.
He stood in place, a small smile on his lips, looking into the distance. Odette and Olivia, who were getting off the other carriage, came towards Lin Luowen.
There were some traces of crying on Odette's face, and when she saw Lin Luowen, she showed a sunny and pure smile. In the sky after the rain, the sun had come out, and the light shone on the earth and fell on Odette's cheek.
Olivia's long black curls were loosened, and she walked behind her with her hands behind her back, looking at Odette's small stride and running, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed unpleasantly.
The two embraced, and the tears in Odette's eyes were blinked and faded by her.
"It's good to see you're alive. Lin Luowen. She said earnestly.
"Me too, Miss Odette. We all have a bright future. He looked at Odette and smiled.
"Hey, you two ignored me when you saw each other. I'm going to be angry. Olivia said with her hands on her chest, feigned anger. Odette had to comfort her sister a little.
"You haven't been in any trouble, have you? Miss Olivia. The three of them walked down the street, and they talked casually.
"Luckily, I escaped with Odette, and only three fourth-level barbarian wolf cavalry chased after me. It's all solved by me and Odette. Olivia said lightly.
"What about you? Brother Lin Luowen, I sensed that there were two fifth-level barbarian wolf cavalry chasing you. Odette said, with some curiosity in her eyes, which is why she was crying.
As a special student, Odette is different from Olivia, Odette has a strong mental talent, so she may not be suitable for the kind of fighting style that goes head-to-head. And Odette's family is not ordinary, so it is normal for her to cultivate a relatively powerful psychic technique. Even Lin Luowen didn't know what Odette's true strength was, so he couldn't let Odette give him a mental attack. He only learned from a few words about Odette that she was a special student with mental talents.
"Well, it's okay, didn't I come back?" Lin Luowen said a little perfunctorily.
The two knew that Lin Luowen didn't want to expose their secrets, so they didn't ask too much, after all, the two of them also had secrets they didn't want to tell.
