"What are you doing climbing the mountain?" Qi Lang was confused by this answer.

"I don't know, he didn't explain anything to me when he left. Zhu Lai also had a helpless expression, and handed back the precious necklace as he spoke, "I'm just guessing." It was probably a high and dangerous mountain like the Holy Son Peak, otherwise with his ability, he wouldn't need to prepare ropes and other messy things. ”

Qi Lang took the chain, hung it around his neck again, sat back beside Zhu Lai, and complained with some frustration: "They are quite a failure-whether they are parents, or grandfathers, and even you, a faceless fellow, they are all just as bad! Throwing away so many things that I don't know what to say, and not even leaving an explanation, I feel like I am walking in a fog all day long, and my mind has never been clear." ”

Zhu Lai shook his head: "You can't say that. Is there anything more important than Li'er and Brother Fu giving you life?, my fellow is almost hard, but don't you think those gold and silver coins have made you less worried? As for your grandfather, in addition to leaving you that necklace and a frighteningly heavy burden, he has left you many quite strong supporters. ”

"Supporters?" Qi Lang rolled his eyes suspiciously, muttering, "My supporters are all here, just the one hundred and ten soldiers......" At this time, he suddenly slapped his thigh as if he suddenly realized: "You shouldn't be referring to old Henry, right?"

"You little fellow, you call him old Henry, that's so disrespectful to Glenn. Zhu Lai deliberately took out a strange tone, but at the corner of his eyes was a knowing smile, "He is my senior, one of the students that your grandfather spent the most effort on, otherwise you think that with a word or two from me, he will hand over a group of young men to an alien like you unsuspectingly?"

"That's how it is!" Qi Lang suddenly felt that he had figured out the truth of the whole matter. No wonder the father and son behaved mysteriously that day, looking like they wanted to say something, it turned out that they had already learned their identities from Zhu Lai's mouth.

"Before Glenn took over the throne, he had traveled all over the world, and for this legendary figure in the Zonghao Kingdom, he naturally had to come and visit. But I didn't expect this visit to trap him - he was so convinced that he stayed with your grandfather to study for about five years. Zhu Lai explained.

"King Henry is such a wise man, and he could still be impressed by his grandfather?" Qi Lang felt that this was a little unthinkable, "Moreover, can he speak Middle-earth, or can his grandfather himself speak the language of barbarians?"

"Of course he will be impressed, no one is wiser than your grandfather, you know, he is the closest person to the gods. Zhu Lai's face showed an expression of infinite fascination, but he immediately laughed again, "But when it comes to communication, it's really a big trouble." Glenn's Middle-earth is not much different from your grandfather's Brute Language, and it is said that their communication at the time could be called a disaster, and often in the end, either Glenn was confused or your grandfather was so angry that his face turned red. In the end, Glenn relented, and it took him a whole year to correct his pronunciation, and finally he got over the problem of his tongue curling all the time. But from that time on, your grandfather also ordered us later students to master the language of brutes, so that he didn't care how much we suffered because of it. ”

Qi Lang also laughed. At the same time, he figured out the main reason why he was proficient in the language of the brute, which was the order of his elder and teacher, and his father and mother must not dare to be careless about it.

"But don't think that Glenn's support is all your grandfather left for you. Zhu Lai continued, "He has countless students, and those people are all big names. Although most of them died heroically for the country in that war, there are still a considerable number of survivors, and they are the indispensable force for you to restore the glory of the Zonghao Kingdom. For example, if you didn't send the information over in advance from Dongzi, I wouldn't have been able to bring your people to kill you, let alone take you out so smoothly. ”

Qi Lang quieted down suddenly, and the excitement of the reunion almost made him forget the bitter battle, and then thinking back to the tragic situation at that time, he only felt a cold sweat breaking out one after another. He was indeed too impulsive at the time, completely controlled by impulse, and put himself and his four accompanying brothers at risk. Luckily, Joanna looked fine, but ......

The picture of those brothers covered in blood suddenly flashed in his mind, and Qi Lang jumped up in fright: "Tell me, how are they?!Owu, Gulf and Youdong Hong, are they all alive?"

Zhu Lai showed a gloomy look.

"All is well......" he said with a deep breath and in the calmest tone possible, "they are all badly injured. The Gondwana man was better, and he was able to move freely yesterday, but the other two needed to recuperate for a while, especially the son of General Dong, who almost lost his life...... We're dead. Three of the attendants who went with me were killed, and the rest were mostly lost, the most serious being a taciturn blonde boy who lost his left leg. ”

"That's Corporal Wilson...... Qi Lang's voice was low, he put his head in his hands, and sighed bitterly, "He doesn't talk much, but he's a brave fellow." ”

Zhu Lai stood up and stroked Qi Lang's back, sighed long and said, "If you hear the following news, you will agree with me, the loss here is not serious." Dongzi, whom I just mentioned, should be called Uncle Fan Dong, is the youngest student of my grandfather. He's been in the hood for seven years and is getting closer to the core, waiting for an opportunity to uproot that puppet. However, your presence disrupted his deployment, and he had to expose himself to the bridles, fighting to the death with the thugs to cover our retreat. We escaped, and he and his 800 men were all martyred!"

Qi Lang fell into complete silence. Just for his own reckless decision, more than 800 warriors lost their lives, the three good brothers of the Luman Empire could never return to their homeland, and Wilson became disabled because of it! Qi Lang didn't know how to face all this, didn't know how to face those trusting eyes, didn't know how to face those old Harry!

Although Qi Lang had long been prepared for the cruelty of the war in his heart, when the real news of casualties reached his ears, the unspeakable blow still struck.

Seeing Qi Lang's sluggish reaction, Zhu Lai realized that he had to do something. He grabbed Qi Lang's shoulder, stared into his eyes and said, "You feel a lot of pain, don't you? You think it's too difficult, don't you?

Qi Lang neither shook his head nor nodded, he just sat there, his eyes glazed, completely transformed into a thoughtless, expressionless puppet.

"I'm going to tell you, those feelings you have are perfectly normal. ”

Zhu Lai's expression became more and more serious, "Because you are a person with feelings, you have your concerns, and you have your concerns." Those who care and care are your warriors, your mother lying in the crystal coffin, and the sacred land under the bright moonlight. ”

Qi Lang slowly raised his head, although enlightenment had not yet appeared in his eyes, Zhu Lai had foreseen that hope in advance, so he continued: "I can feel that feeling, because I have the same support in Hayes City—not only the support of the one hundred and thirty-five brothers and sisters of the Hao Song Troupe, but also your support, the support of Dodim, and the support of the other warriors whose names I have never had a chance to remember. In order to get a chance to achieve the same goal, they are willing to pay for it at any cost, even willing to pay with their lives. When the plan finally failed, I was so frustrated, so painful, but I came out later......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Lai paused, it was obvious that it was also an extremely serious knot in his heart. But his gaze was now full of determination, and he wanted to convey that determination to the person in front of him: "Because I have figured out a truth." We didn't fight like that, not because we wanted to reap the fruits of victory with that blow. We just want a hope—a hope that makes the murderer frown, a hope that shakes the castle of evil, a hope that pierces the darkness for a moment...... And you, that hope. ”

Zhu Lai helped Qi Lang sit back on the stone bench and sat firmly between him and Iglu. Leaning against the crystal coffin and the smiling mother inside, facing the glittering lake, Qi Lang's mood also stabilized.

"It must be the will of the subtle heavens, or rather, it may be your mother's own will. Zhu Lai sighed thoughtfully, "If I had returned here a few days earlier, the earth-shattering murder would not have occurred at all; taking a step back, if you hadn't gone to worship the altar, everything would have gone according to the plan - you would have returned safely, and then we would meet, and I would have told you everything in person, and then, I would have joined Dongzi, and then went to the deep mountains and old forests, dug out those guys who had been half-cut into the earth, and planned our actions step by step......"

"I ruined this elaborate plan, didn't I?" Qi Lang finally opened his mouth again, his face still full of bitterness.

"You've ruined my plans. Zhu Lai smiled faintly, "But you inadvertently created a plan of your own." The plan was too hasty, and many of the details were not well thought out, so it was far from perfect. However, it is the most imposing plan, the one that is most likely to achieve our goal in a very short time!"
