68 The End of the Light
For the soldiers on the watchtower, discovering that something was wrong probably started when they saw General Gnard desperately rushing to grab the arrow.
At that time, there were already a few soldiers who pressed Abel to the ground, "Brother, you are crazy, you dare to shoot arrows without an order!" โ
Abel's face was twisted against the floor tiles, and he was still yelling fiercely: "It's going to hurt the general!" Don't you see, it's going to hurt the general! โ
Suddenly, someone shouted: "What's the matter, ...... down here?" Something isn't quite right down there. โ
The soldiers hurriedly looked down at the city wall.
A strange scene happened, the respected General Gnard actually knelt beside the fallen demon clan, his hands raised high, as if he was cursing something to the sky, and as if he was begging for something.
Immediately after, as if under a curse, the old general suddenly beat his chest and cried, tore his hair, and even slapped himself twice in the face.
The army brought by the general was also in disarray, and it seemed that a shocking news was spreading, and the ranks began to break up from the front row, and it is not an exaggeration to say that people are turning on their backs. Many knights rolled off their horses, cried and ran forward, and several lieutenants waved their flags desperately, but they could not restore order to order in the army.
It was so far away that the soldiers on the watchtower could not hear what was being shouted below, and could only look at each other in horror.
"What's the matter," someone panicked, "what's the matter, what did the demon who was shot by Abel do?" โ
The captain rushed up from under the castle tower, his eyes blood-red, like a demon crawling out of hell: "Who put the arrow, which damn beast put the arrow!?" โ
At the same time, Gnard's lieutenant general rushed up, "Doctor, what about the doctor!?" Hurry, hurry!! โ
The confused military doctor was grabbed by the adjutant general and ran down. The captain gasped and stared at Abel, who was pressed to the ground: "It's you...... It's you, animal! โ
Abel stiffened his neck, and his muscles jumped: "Yes, it's me, but it's first-"
He had only said a few words before the captain pressed the back of his head and smashed his face against the wall!
"Bastard, damn it, do you know who you shot and who it is!!"
The captain almost went berserk, "Bastard, I'll kill you!!" โ
The surrounding soldiers turned pale with fright, and they didn't dare to persuade if they wanted to. Abel's face was bleeding all over his face, and the bridge of his nose was broken, so he simply broke the jar and roared: "Who am I shooting!?" I'm shooting demons! What other good things can the demons have, not to mention that it suddenly wants to make a move on the general, and I shot it to death with an arrow! I shot to death! โ
The captain flew up and kicked him in the stomach. Abel groaned. groaned and vomited sour water, tears in his eyes: "Damn, why don't you believe me, why!! โ
"I was captured by the demons seven years ago, and I know better than any of you how ferocious those creatures are!! Back then, I watched with my own eyes, watching my father die under the claws of scales wrapped in demonic breath......"
"That's a demon...... It's the devil......"
The anger on the captain's face was gone, replaced by another, a mixture of disgust, pity, and sorrow, a very complicated look.
He sneered and asked Abel, "You said that you were captured by the demons back then, how did you come back?" โ
"Captain, what do you mean by that? Everyone in the kingdom knows that it was His Majesty the Holy Monarch back then......"
The soldier next to him suddenly stabbed
He elbowed. Abel glared angrily (),

They were aware of the possibility of a horror, but they couldn't believe that there really could be such a tragedy in the world, so they didn't dare to speak.
But in the end, someone rolled his Adam's apple twice, and in the end he muttered: "Team, captain......"
"You say, demons, are you really a human?"
=========
Lanmuir faintly heard the cacophony.
Many people surrounded him, many people were running, screaming and crying. Old General Gnard howled and called him "Your Majesty", and the voice seemed to vomit all the internal organs.
Ah, it turns out that there are still people who are willing to admit his former status as a saint, and there are people who are willing to shed tears for him.
It turns out that it's not just the Demon King...... Even his former homeland, his former people, no longer hated him.
That's nice. Lanmuir thought that he felt that he was not in pain or sad anymore. The mountain breeze stirred his silver hair, and the sun danced on his closed eyelids, sending his consciousness higher and farther.
There was complete chaos in front of the watchtower.
"Medic!! Why hasn't the military doctor come yet!! โ
Gnard's voice was already crying. He knelt in the mountains, clutching Lanmuir's cold right hand and rubbing the scales, "Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
When the military doctor came, he pounced on him with a rolling belt, and he froze when he glanced at the heart of the Holy Monarch, looking at the general helplessly, and did not speak.
The adjutant general shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, save people, save people!" โ
The medic shook his head sluggishly.
Gnard let out a desperate roar, he bent his back and waved his bloodstained hand vigorously: "Go find the carriage!" Quick, carriage, send Your Majesty back to the royal city!! There must be a way, definitely ......"
Suddenly, the old general felt a faint force coming from his other hand.
The silver-haired and purple-eyed demon opened his eyes slightly, panting lightly, and a small cloud of white mist came out of his blood-stained lips, as if he had something to say.
Gnard hurriedly lay down and leaned over the Saint's ear, and he heard Ranmuir say word by word, "I don't ...... Blame...... Archers' ......"
Gnard was struck by lightning, and his expression went blank.
There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and it was His Majesty Aiden who had arrived.
The monarch of the kingdom was carried by knights, or rather carried by him.
On the way, he had heard the chaotic cries of the soldiers, and he almost fell off his horse. It's easy to step on the ground with your boots, but you're trembling all over your body, and you can't take a step.
"Quick, help me through...... Help me over......"
Aiden broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes straightened, and he muttered, "Brother, my brother is back, he definitely wants to see me." Hurry, hurry up ......"
When Aiden saw the appearance of the demon from a distance, the strength of his body and tears poured out of his body.
"No, no......"
With tears streaming down his face, he shook his head, breaking free of the knight's support, helplessly holding the fingers of the silver-haired demon.
"Brother, brother, oh my God, how did you become like this......"
"I'm sorry Aiden is late...... Brother, don't be angry, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, hold on a little longer, we'll go back to the palace soon, there are the best doctors in the royal city......"
() Lanmuir rested quietly on the rock, his eyes downcast, unresponsive.
Aiden called him eagerly, "Brother, brother? Don't sleep, you hold on...... Isn't the carriage all right? โ
Next to him, General Gnard, who had been silent, put his hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty the Holy Monarch, he ...... Already slept ......"
Aiden jerked up his face, his eyes almost vicious: "Shut up!!" โ
His lips were already white.
"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, you can't sleep......"
Aiden lifted Lanmuir's face with trembling palms.
But the latter remained unresponsive.
When I looked closely, I found that the pupils were gradually dilating. After saying to Gnad just now, the last breath of the Holy Monarch was also exhausted.
"No, brother? โฆโฆ Brother!! โ
Aiden pressed the bleeding wound in Ranmuir's heart like crazy, "No, brother, look at me, don't sleep, don't ......"
"Don't go, don't go, you haven't said a word to me yet, you haven't glanced at the royal city seven years later, please don't go like this......"
Aiden broke down and muttered, tears dripping down his face. Blood poured out from between his fingers, and he hurriedly folded another hand, as if this would lock the vitality that the Holy Monarch had flowed away.
But it didn't work. Lanmuir's pupils were completely dilated, his breathing stopped at some point, his heartbeat was gone, and only the tails of his eyes seemed to have a little sad nostalgia, which was gradually dissipating.
Gnard began to cry, as did the medic and adjutant general, and the soldiers behind him were like a sea of soldiers. Aiden roared angrily: "What are you crying about, you are not allowed to cry!" Don't cry!! โ
He picked up Ranmuir, but he was trembling and didn't know where to run for help.
All around was the sound of soldiers whimpering or wailing, the sky was bleak, and the clouds were singing sadly.
Aiden was stunned for a long time, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched, as if they were instantly crushed.
He fell to his knees, his neck was bruised, and he cried bitterly: "Ah...... Help, help!! He just went home, he obviously went home, he can't do this......"
The young monarch's voice echoed miserably, and Aiden buried his face deep in his brother's silver-gray hair, his shoulders shrugged and wailed.
But his brother, who had always been gentle, could no longer open his eyes and comfort him as softly as he had been in childhood.
=========
The body of St. Ranmuir was finally buried in a glass coffin, passed through eighteen cities, and was personally escorted back to the royal city by King Aiden.
It has been four years since the monarch revealed the truth about the demons, and there are still a large number of soldiers and people who refuse to accept the fact that the demons are humanized. Because there is always a link of the most direct and impactful evidence.
So Aiden thought to himself, if his brother was alive, this must be what he wanted.
hopes to use his own death to ring the alarm bell of cannibalism; I hope to use my alienated body to completely end this war full of errors and sins.
Aiden also made seven public
The truth of the battle of the royal city a few years ago told his kingdom everything the Holy Monarch had done back then.
Now that all the miasma in the abyss has been purified, people no longer have to worry about the harm of poisonous gas erosion caused by the Demon King tearing up the barrier.
The glass coffin was full of flowers and cool pearls to protect the body, and the deadly arrow was placed next to it. Lanmuir's face was wiped clean, and he lay there as if he had fallen asleep.
People poured in like a tidal wave, men and women, young and old, rich and poor.
They wept and prayed, reaching out to touch the glass casket and putting more flowers into the casket.
"Your Majesty ...... the Holy Monarch"
"Your Majesty ...... the Holy Monarch"
"Don't go, don't go, Your Majesty ......"
"Give him back to us, O Mother God! โฆโฆโ
Someone sobbed while desperately sending his meager mana into the coffin.
Monarchs always say that together we can create miracles. Maybe there really is a miracle, maybe His Majesty can be resurrected like the Mother of God?
Soon more people began to follow suit. But they are all civilians who don't even know how to heal spells, and those mana gathers around Ranmuir like fireflies, reflecting the saint's eyebrows and eyes more sacred, but they can't wake up the people who sleep forever.
Aiden drove his horse ahead, his eyes were red, and he smiled sadly and murmured, "Brother, have you seen it?" You're home. โ
โฆโฆ
The cries of the world could no longer be heard by Lanmuir.
His soul was ethereal, and he seemed to wander in very warm places.
Gradually, a ray of golden light fell in front of me, and flowers bloomed and sweet springs flowed in the places where they passed. The long winding steps and the stone pillars entwined with vines appeared one after another in the clouds, and the four sides were like snow-white glass.
Where is it?
Lanmuir looked around in a daze, the sun always shrouded him gently, and everywhere he walked there were flowers and sweet springs.
Suddenly, many, many "beings" appeared in front of him.
They were all young, energetic souls, with no specific form or race, but each one was incomparably beautiful.
"Miko-sama."
"Miko-sama."
They smiled and stretched out their hands to Lanmuir, their eyes bright and serious, "Good work, hard work, Lord Son of God." โ
"I'm sorry, you're ......"
Ranmuir was even more dazed, the endless light made him dizzy, and he could only be surrounded by these friendly souls.
The souls laughed innocently like a child, some clothed him with snow-white silk scarves, and some dressed him with colorful garlands.
They said, "Come, come to us." โ
They said, "We have been here to see you for a long time, and we have been waiting for you for a long time!" โ
Soon, Ranmuir's heart moved, and he recognized a particularly beautiful girl. She had a pair of warm and stubborn eyes, and she was looking at herself lovingly.
God, isn't this the same old woman who uncovered the truth for him in the dungeon?
Behind the old woman, a grinning young man hooked shoulders with his family, each holding in his hand a knick-knack that the merchants of the royal city would sellโthis must have been the grandfather in the old woman's mouth, and it turned out that the grandfather's gift was finally delivered to the person who should have given it. All the wonderful souls are reunited here.
Lanmuir seemed to have an understanding, and a faint relief and joy appeared in his eyes.
He whispered to the souls, "Mother God...... Also here? โ
The souls nodded solemnly: "He has been waiting for you for a long time!" โ
Suddenly, Ranmuir heard the sound of a harp. ()
......
The author Yue Qianyue reminds you that "The Seventh Year of the Demon King's Captive Saint Monarch" is the first time in.? Update the latest chapter, remember [()]?' Come[]*See the latest chapter*Complete chapter'()
It was as if all the scars of his life had become beautiful things.
A white-gold figure came to Ranmuir, the sun shining and soft, and countless souls clustered around him.
The Mother of God bent down, took the blonde boy's hand herself, and asked him, "Do you want to come with me?" โ
Ranmuir hesitated to glance back at the way he had come.
He asked, "Is it okay not to go?" โ
The souls shouted one after another, saying "no, no", "it's time", "it will hurt to go back now".
The Mother touched the top of his hair, plucked a snow-white flower, and gently placed it in Lanmuir's heart: "Is there still attachment?" โ
Ranmuir suddenly felt a lot of pain, the pain of struggle that only the living can feel.
He took the flower and said, "Yes." โ
The spirits stopped talking, and they looked at him distressedly.
The Mother listened to it and said, "Are there many who are holding you for the sake of those voices?" โ
Lanmuir's pain grew worse and worse, as if he had been cut to the bone by thousands of sharp knives.
"It has nothing to do with others...... he said with difficulty, "it's my own selfishness." It's me...... I still have something of my own that I can't give up. โ
The Mother looked at him peacefully.
=========
At the end of the long night, the chariots and horses escorting the body of the Holy Monarch walked on the snowy wilderness.
There used to be a temple of light, where the golden statue of the Mother of God was enshrined.
Seven years ago, the army of the demons passed by here, smashed the idol inside to half of its body, and threw it outside.
In the blink of an eye, the power of the temple was destroyed, and no one paid attention to the half of the statue of the Divine Mother. It fell crookedly on the side of the road, rusted in the wind and sun, and climbed thick moss in the summer and frozen in the snow.
As the people cried and chased after the chariots and horses ahead, not a single believer threw a single glance at the tattered idol.
People came, passed through here, and left.
When the earth became infinitely quiet, the tattered idol was still there, and only the moonlight fell on it.
It seems to be there for eternity. Whether it is gilded with gold and offered to the altar; Or was broken by a hammer and fell into the dust.
He, and some of the wills He symbolizes, will only remain silent and lonely forever...... Over there.
Click.
A slender crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the eye of the rusty goddess statue
Maybe it's just that it's too cold and the statue freezes and cracks. But that position, that form, is like a tear stain.
In the middle of the carriage and horses in the distance, inside the glass coffin full of flowers, the mana from countless people had gathered to the extreme.
The sun rose from the other side of the mountain. The faint morning light shone on the glass coffin, and the coffin lit up with a faint light.
With a sharp crisp sound, the glass coffin exploded entirely, and the petals flew down like rain
() hundreds of people were swept away!
The horses neighed, and the soldiers and civilians erupted in exclamation, not knowing what was happening.
Monarch Aiden turned his head, and his dead eyes burst into light.
He saw that the mana flowed down like a golden waterfall, merging with the dawning sun, shining on the glass coffin. Countless white birds flew from nowhere, fluttering past the exclamating crowdโ
And His Majesty the Holy Monarch, who was supposed to be sleeping in the coffin, slowly opened his eyes and sat up among the flowers in such a brilliant light.
A nameless snow-white flower fell from his heart, and the arrow wound that had pierced his heart was gone.
โฆโฆ
"Alright, that's all for tonight's story. ()โ
“……? [()]?ใ Come[]@็ๆๆฐ็ซ ่@ๅฎๆด็ซ ่'()"
A brother and sister are lying on the bed. The elder brother has a short small horn on the top of his head, and the younger sister has three scales on her face, and they are all mixed races of human and demon races.
The little girl's eyes were bright, and she was obviously still immersed in the story: "Dad, Dad, is there really a god mother in the world?" โ
The little boy exclaimed, "Fool, how can there be a Mother of God in the world?" I asked the teacher of the spell class at the school before, and the teacher said that it was the result of the convergence of people's mana. โ
"Think about it, if there really is a Divine Mother, why is there such a villain as the prophet and elder in this world? Why does His Majesty have to die once? โ
"But," said the little girl thoughtfully, "if there are only happy things in this world, and nothing sad, then even the villain soul of the prophet can go to heaven after death, I don't want it!" โ
The bedroom door was opened, and the mother crossed her waist angrily, and the scales slapped on the door frame: "Hey, you don't let the children sleep so late? โ
The father hurriedly smiled, hurriedly stuffed the books into the bookcase, and did not forget to comfort the two children: "What story do you want to listen to tomorrow?" โ
The brothers and sisters raised their hands in unison: "I want to listen to the story of the marriage between His Majesty the Holy Monarch and the Broken Horn Demon King!" โ
The parents glanced at each other and smiled helplessly and lovingly.
The demon mother quietly took two steps closer and asked her human husband, "You say, is there really a god mother?" โ
The husband thought for a while, hugged his demon wife, and said with a smile: "You believe it, but it's not in the temple, it's in your head and heart." โ
The night is boundless, and the thousands of households in the royal city are lit up with lights, reflecting the starlight in the sky.
At that time, many, many years had passed since the war-accompanied Gasuo's barrier had completely disappeared.
