"No one will forget your sacrifices. I hope that you who are wandering souls in the distance will find the light. The fire of karma will not clean your shell, and you will be reborn in a distance. With a clean soul, your life will bloom brightly..."
I don’t know what customs there are in Apocalypse City, or what rituals the other world has for treating the dead. Anyway, everyone is reading such eulogies, and I don’t know what is said later. They are all words that I have never heard before.
It was not Gude who lit the fire, but all the people who witnessed this scene, without distinction, burned the corpses of the knights and caravans together in the flames.
The moment the torch was put down, the smoke rose, and the disgusting smell did not let me escape. Lissus and I stood there, watching everything. I always felt that the ignited flame was more dazzling than the sun's rays, and it hurt. .
"Blame me……"
When this was done, I said this with a frustration I couldn't understand.
"If it wasn't for me, it wouldn't be..."
"Little brother, are you thinking wrong?"
But Goode didn't blame me, instead he patted me on the shoulder.
"But if it wasn't for me..."
"These are not your problems."
Gude interrupted me again. He looked at the caravan that was about to continue on the road again, and said to me in a tone that I also couldn't understand.
"Everyone who has made a good journey has this kind of awareness, no, it would be better to say that every resident of Tianqi City has this kind of awareness... and the desperate efforts of the Kingdom, everyone has long believed in the truth of Tianqi City. I was ready to sacrifice from that moment, so even if it is not today, death will happen, tomorrow? Next year? No one can tell when we will encounter something like today, after all, we are with monsters , This kind of thing is simply too shameful for the kingdom."
"But if it weren't for me, they might still be alive during this trip, it's all my fault..."
"I said it wasn't the little brother's fault. Even if the little brother didn't come forward, how could we see Li Susi being taken away in front of our eyes? Besides, the sacrifice this time is very small, so we are very lucky Let's pack it up and continue on the road, there is so much commotion here, maybe sometime there will be knights from the kingdom chasing us, and... we may need the little brother's help later, haha."
Not lucky at all...
I silently said this in my heart, and Gude made a relieved expression as if he was grateful. I know that you can't hide the pain hidden in your eyes, and this is just to comfort me.
Goode left, because the caravan still has to move on. Our task has not been completed, but we simply cleaned up the scene. This long caravan once again embarked on a long journey. Although everyone's expressions are sad, But no one stopped, and no one gave me any expression of reproach.
Maybe I will be very happy to be scolded, but everyone still cares about me...
The carriage was a little bumpy, and the feeling I thought I was used to was very obvious at this time. I knew that I was not calm at all.
Lissus is right across from me, and I know that she must be very upset now.
"Idle Ren? Are you okay?"
"You still care about me at this time, it's better to say if you have something to do..."
Facing the worried eyes of Lissus, I feel that at least I must be strong in front of her.
"Those bastards didn't hurt you?"
I still clearly remember the way they forcibly dragged Lisus, who couldn't walk, every time I thought of her bruised legs and dead people, I silently clenched my fists.
"No, I already replied."
Lissus shook her head. The recovery ability of monsters is indeed very strong. At this time, except for some scars and broken clothes, the wounds are basically invisible.
But what about the hurt in the heart?
"Thank you."
"You don't need to say thank you to me..."
Perhaps seeing my silence, Lissus suddenly said a word of thanks.
"I just want to say, thank you Xian Ren for always trusting and protecting us."
We... Lisuth refers to all the monsters, but when it comes to protection, I really have no effect at all. Why did she say that?I obviously didn't do anything, and because of me, it directly led to the start of this battle.
"Because I have time to spare."
It was already dusk, and the battle still delayed a lot of time, but Lisusi looked at the sunset like this, and said these words.
"Yeah, I'm..."
Lissus said a lot of things that I can't understand today... But at least I can be sure of one thing, maybe I can't protect all the monsters, but the Lissus in front of me is an existence that I will try my best to protect.
The hand she grabbed into me is the proof.
But... when everything was over, some problems were exposed, which I noticed after I calmed down.
Why do you see human knight squads at the border?This kind of place in the wilderness and close to the monsters is not a place they want to come, and it is a regular team of 20 people. This is a suspicious place. I think it is necessary to talk to Gude and others about this matter.
And there is another very important point, that is, everyone in the caravan saw Lissus transforming into a human form. I still remember their surprised expressions at that time, but no one has mentioned this now?
It always feels weird, but I have a feeling that the answer will be revealed soon.
…………
six ants kingdom
When did Lissus become so good at comforting people?
I will never forget the words she said to me suddenly before we arrived at the destination——
"The things I have seen are absolutely unbelievable to human beings-on the edge of the endless plain, the falling fire of the sky attacked and burned; in front of the strong gate of the kingdom, my solid rising sun shone in the darkness. Light. However, all these moments will be lost in the torrent of time, just like tears melting in the rain...
Your sadness will also melt in the rain. "
Later she told me that it was a famous saying of blessings popular in another world, and I thought so too, how could she say something that moved me so much?
My sadness will melt in the rain... Yes, tears and water are mixed together so silly that I can't tell them apart.
On the third day after leaving Tianqi City, it started to rain. It wasn’t too heavy. It should be the first rain in early spring. It was still a bit cold, and the drizzling patter made people feel very comfortable.
On the road, I saw many knights with a team of 20 people, but after the battle two days ago, the caravan chose to avoid or hide the monsters in the woods in advance as much as possible, although everyone looked normal on the surface , but I can see that everyone is very depressed, but this rain is like the water that fell deliberately to wash away this depressing atmosphere. It is rare that everyone laughed.
"What's so funny about raining?"
"Don't you know, Mr. Xianren? It's been four months since we saw rain, so everyone is a little excited after seeing the rain for a long time...Pu Chi Pu Chi—"
You can guess that this is Mr. Druid just by hearing the voice, and he is the only one who can make strange noises even among monsters.
"That's right. But...is Harrison looking for something for me?"
Not only did the druids come to talk to me when they were free, even the caravan stopped suddenly.
"Nothing, just tell Mr. Xian Ren that we are here."
Arrived... Following the words of the druid, this three-day journey of trepidation finally came to an end.
