Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

The Storm Leader, who was provoked by the pirates, didn't plan to wait until the day of the hostage exchange. After sorting out the supplies for going to sea, he led the fleet to kill Crow Island all the way in the dark.

When more than a hundred armored warships surrounded by a monster-like colossus appeared in the field of vision, such a sharp siren sounded for the first time in many years from the observation deck of the Crow Island Islands.

The last time was when Qiao Yi's mother took the fleet to the island and killed the fifth island.

The first landing point Qiao Yi chose was the seventh island.

According to reliable information from the spies, Starov and the others were imprisoned in the dungeon on the seventh island, in a very bad condition.

The rumble of cannons has already sounded from the west of Raven Island, and the Xi League on the fourth island has already fought with other islands.

Qiao Yi divided more than half of the warships, led by Sami and the Overwatch, to support the fourth island. The muzzle of the Thorn Rose that he was riding on pointed at the black and black pirate ship that was blocking him.

The island owner Selea sat on the bow of the Immortal Rose, holding a beautiful young man on a thin iron chain like a dog.

She seemed confident in the fight.

"Honorable lord, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with our request? I originally planned that if you did not agree, we would come to ask for it in person. Now you have delivered it yourself, which is really surprising."

Selea sat on the velvet recliner with her feet crossed, and blew on her bright red nails: "I don't know if you are satisfied with the gift...?"

As soon as Joe noticed, the pirate ship opposite had already fired a lot of cannons, and there were also cannons on the deck.

This is their confidence?

Qiao Yi scolded the stupid Andre [-] times in his heart again, refusing to talk nonsense with Sereya.

Guys who have not experienced the sanction of truth will never know the heights of the heavens and the earth.

During the five years of near-peaceful development, Stormland has never neglected the research of new weapons.

Because as soon as Joe knew, the war would come sooner or later.

But now, the fleet of Stormleader quietly watched the other side desperately clamoring and advancing, but refused to fire for a long time, and realized that they were very likely to be out of the range of the pirate ship.

But by coincidence, the pirates were within the range of the storm collar at this time!

Qiao Yi looked at the Immortal Rose approaching aggressively from the opposite side, and gave the command to fire.

"boom--"

The first shell landed accurately on the deck of the Immortal Rose.

The loud noise and tremor accompanied by splashing deck fragments made Selea's face suddenly pale, and she hurriedly retreated to the rear.

She lashed the back of the gunner next to her with a whip, and her beautiful face twisted: "Didn't you say that you can't hit this distance?! Why did you hit it?!"

The gunner was startled by the sudden explosion, and now he almost cried: "Island... Lord, I mean, we can't hit them. I don't know why they can hit us! "

"Damn Andre lied to us! ∷ said that these things are more than enough to deal with the storm collars. In order to avoid casualties, they will definitely be scared out of their nerves and obediently offer gold coins! ∷ Lied to us!!"

With a gloomy face, Selea threw off the gunner's collar: "Let the other ships rush up and buy time for the Immortal Rose at all costs! Let's retreat!"

"boom--"

The second shell fell.

Sharp fragments splashed in all directions, causing chaos on the deck.

Selea watched helplessly as the sharp iron pieces pierced into the bodies of several pirates not far away, blood splattered and wailed all over the floor.

Her face paled in an instant, and she hurriedly withdrew towards the hatch.

"boom--"

Another shell exploded not far from Selea.

In desperation, Selea pulled the chain in her hand.

The boy was dragged to her side by her, and his body faced the flying fragments.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Sharp fragments pierced into his body, and blood dripped from his chest, abdomen, and thighs instantly.

"Shut up! It's your honor to block the knife for my old lady!" Selea's side face was cut with a bloody gash, and she slapped the boy's face in desperation. My sister's skin!!"

"Ugh-"

The boy's body shrank all of a sudden, his body trembled and his teeth were clenched, not daring to make a sound.

It's just that the hands were clenched tightly, so hard that the joints turned white.

"Go, go back."

Selea grabbed a chain and dragged the injured boy into the cabin.

On the surface of the sea, the Immortal Rose receded backwards, while other pirate ships swarmed towards the warship of the Stormland.

The artillery raindrops usually flew towards the Thorn Rose and others, but most of them fell on the sea in vain due to the range of the shot, splashing huge waves of water.

Pirate ships continued to be sunk, sinking crookedly.

But there were too many pirate ships, and under the suicidal attack, they quickly approached the fleet of Stormland.

"Boom-boom-"

Finally, the first shell fell on the deck of the Thorn Rose.

There were no fragments in the pirate's shells, and only a deep pit was created when it fell on the reinforced deck. The upper planks were splashed, and the hull shook slightly.

"Lord, go back to the cabin. It's too dangerous outside." Galin held up a shield in front of him, blocking the wood chips flying towards Qiao Yi.

The fleets of the two sides officially met on the sea, and the risk factor increased sharply.

But that's it.

The warships of the Stormland were all reinforced, and the firepower of the pirates could only cause some skin damage to the warships, and it was difficult to sink them.

On the contrary, those wooden pirate ships were sunk and fell into the water after facing the explosive, explosive, and armor-piercing bullets from the Stormland.

Facing the hundreds of pirate ships coming in groups, these dozens of warships are like a sharp sword, slowly piercing through the messy fleet in front of them with a destructive force.

The Thorn Rose moved forward under the strict protection of the ships, but the Immortal Rose on the opposite side quickly retreated towards the rear island under the cover of other ships.

"Don't be stingy with ammunition, clear the battlefield quickly, and chase the Immortal Rose!"

The order was issued through the semaphore, and the firepower of the storm leader suddenly became fierce, and the artillery fire rained down. Many pirate ships were blasted into two or three pieces and sank into the sea before they even had time to fire.

at the same time.

on the other side of the battlefield.

With the advanced shipbuilding technology and weapon support from Stormland, the fourth island is inseparable from the other islands.

But with one island fighting against the other four islands except Qiao Yi's entanglement, the gap in numbers put them under a lot of pressure, and they have begun to decline.

Huge explosions sounded continuously on this small sea, and the huge splashes almost overturned some small boats on the spot.

Until a siren like an ancient giant beast sounded suddenly not far away.

The huge iron monster dragged a long white cloud from the chimney, surrounded by a huge iron-clad fleet, and broke into everyone's sight.

In an instant, there was a brief silence on the battlefield.

Old Simon standing on the deck of the warship shook his hand, and the pipe he was dangling from his mouth fell to the ground.

The pirates on the opposite side opened their mouths and trembled when they saw the giant steel beast that was many times the size of their main ship and could almost knock them off their backs.

"what is that?"

"That thing...is it really a boat?"

Then the steel behemoth turned its huge caliber main gun, and pointed its black muzzle at them.

"Help, help—"

Boom boom boom!

With just two shots, the main battleship that Fifth Island was proud of broke into two pieces and sank slowly amidst the sound of water gurgling.

Like a bucket of water falling into boiling oil, the entire battlefield exploded. The frightened pirates frantically left the battlefield and retreated like a broken can.

Some pirates even jumped off the main ship that was unwilling to retreat, and swam towards the island.

Sami, the chief of the navy on the Overwatch, spit out the grass stalk in his mouth with a "poof", looked at the group of pirates who were already in disarray, and waved his hand behind him: "Blow me up!"

boom boom boom

The artillery fire dragged a long stream of light and slanted down towards the pirates. The bursting fire light accompanied by loud noises dispelled the darkness of the night, illuminating the sea brightly.

The Simon family's fleet was already dumbfounded, and they watched as the Stormleader's fleet squeezed them aside and began to dominate the entire battlefield.

Old Simon shook his beard and exhaled a puff of smoke rings. Looking at the frightening iron-clad giant, he took another puff of smoke.

"Old, old."

Joffrey suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the giant ship and his eyes began to shine: "My lord!! I want to sign up to join the navy of the Stormland! ∥ B board that warship!

Bill pressed the excited head of Joffrey who was jumping high beside him: "Father, I have a hunch."

Old Simon turned to look at him: "What?"

Bill looked at the invincible Watcher on the sea, and his eyes fell in the direction of Stuart's hometown on the Snow Mountain: "Our time is coming."

……

Under the form of the Storm Leader crushing the opponent in all directions, several small boats quietly left the team, bypassed the battlefield far away, passed through the strait densely covered with hidden reefs, and planned to land on the seventh island from the back.

Most of the pirates on the seventh island went to the sea to fight Qiao Yi, and some of the pirates on the island stayed behind.

Pirates dozed off on the watchtower.

A flock of frightened seabirds yelled loudly to wake him up.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

On the calm sea, two warships that obviously do not belong to Crow Island are approaching here.

"Enemy attack——"

With a loud cry, he picked up the wooden stakes beside him and was about to hit the bronze bell.

"call out--"

The sound of breaking wind rang in his ears.

The glinting blade slashed across his neck, and then it was nailed to the earthen wall of the tower with a "thud", trembling slightly.

The wooden stake in the pirate's hand fell to the ground. He clutched his neck and opened his eyes wide. Blood gushed out from between his fingers, and he let out a bellows-like wheezing sound from his throat, and finally fell to the ground.

Elise, the elf on the boat, closed her hands and patted the non-existent dust on her hands. A sly smile appeared on her round and cute face: "The target is cleared!"

Bill touched his cold neck, and suddenly felt that he needed to be more careful in his married life, and he must not annoy his wife.

Ship docked.

Two teams of about [-] people mixed with elves and humans came down, quickly cleared dozens of pirates here, and moved towards the island.

Relying on the vigorous skills of the elves, they arrived near the dungeon without making much noise, leaving behind a pile of corpses on the way.

A few pirates were guarding the entrance of the dungeon, patrolling back and forth with blunderbusses in their hands.

——Those bird guns originally belonged to the wine cabin guards on Starov's ship.

Lando and Barton each led their troops and hid behind the wall through the darkness.

In the corner, a big black mouse sprinted past.

Elise jumped three feet high and jumped onto Bill's back. She was about to scream, but she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with a blushing face.

But the movement here has already attracted the attention of the guards.

"Who's there? Come out!"

Several people behind the wall looked at each other, Bill closed his eyes, raised his hands and slowly moved his feet out of the darkness, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, it's me, Daguo."

"Whose subordinate are you? Look at the face, what are you doing here?" The guard pointed his gun at Bill.

"I, I'm here to pee... I'm sorry to disturb you—"

Bill prolonged the ending, his smile disappeared instantly, and he pulled out an RPG from behind with a "huh", fired a shot pre-emptively without saying a word, and then quickly rolled and crawled back to the wall.

"boom--"

The huge sound was splashed with the flames.

"Enemy attack!

"Enemy attack—————!"

The guards who were blown up and turned on their backs quickly got up and assembled, pulled the bolt of their guns, and shot towards the wall.

After a round of shooting, there was no movement.

The guards approached cautiously.

Turning the corner, there is a dark alley.

The torches were extinguished, and the guards could barely feel inside... there seemed to be a lot of people.

"Hey guys, what are you looking for?"

The guy who gave them a shuttle just now spoke, and then a flame lit up on the opposite side.

The guard raised his gun, then froze.

In the alley, dozens of black guns pointed at them.

Those people carried the muzzles on their shoulders and smiled at them with a kind smile: "Are you looking for us?"

"pat-"

The blunderbuss in the hand of the headed guard fell to the ground, and his thighs began to tremble.

A streak of water dripped down from his crotch, soaking a large part of his trouser legs.

He shook his lips, turned around suddenly, pushed away the startled companions in front of him, and scrambled towards the distance.

"Run, run...

"boom--"

"Boom--"

In an instant, sand and rocks flew around the dungeon, and flames blazed everywhere.

Under the dungeon, the sailor Quirrell, who was tortured until he was out of shape, lifted his eyelids covered in blood, and heard the muffled rumble coming from outside.

He struggled to climb to the side of Stalov, who was lying on his back on the ground, breathing very weakly, and held Stalov's arm, tears streaming down mixed with blood: "Boat...captain...captain, wake up ..."

"Someone... came to save us..."

"They came to save us..."

Stalov watched and grew up Quirrell. He grew up in Mary's Asylum and liked to cling to Stalov since he was a child.

To him, Stalov is like a father.

Later, when he grew up, he began to go to sea with Starov.

Originally, Stalov would not have to suffer.

The ghost woman said that he would send a big gift to the lord and choose a person to behead.

It was Stalov who stood up and said that no one would care about the head of an ordinary sailor, so it is better to send back his captain's hand, which can be used as a threat, without going too far and completely angering the leader of the storm They are dead.

So the woman chopped off Starov's hand.

Stalov is 56 years old this year.

When he was sent back covered in blood, he told them that he was old, but they were still young. The youngest was only 17 years old, and life had just begun.

He also said that he would still be able to live a good life after losing his hand, but how sad his wife and children would be if they lost their lives.

But now, Quirrell was saddened to see Stalov languishing from infection and blood loss.

"Squeak-"

The dark dungeon door was opened.

The light of the torch shone in.

Quirrell struggled to get up, facing the warm light, finally hugged Starov and howled.

……

The battle on the sea lasted only until dawn, and the curtain had already come to an end.

Countless pirates abandoned their ships and fled back to the island, hoping that Stormwind would leave after winning the naval battle.

But they were wrong.

The goal of Stormland has never been just to rescue the hostages and win the naval battle, but to completely eradicate Raven Island.

After cleaning up the mess on the sea, a large number of storm led marine troops landed on the island.

Those who put down their weapons and kneel and surrender can avoid death.

They will be sent to mines to dig coal or be sent to repair bridges and roads in the future.

Those who dared to resist were all blasted into a sieve by fire, blunderbuss and even RPG.

Stalov and the crew were taken away for treatment. They were seriously injured, with various bloody wounds on their bodies.

Selea used inhumane torture to extract confessions, forcing them to tell the location of the Stormland's arsenal and granary, and forcing them to betray the Stormland to serve them.

But no one let up.

The dungeon was filthy, and many people had symptoms of infection.

Even with the anti-inflammatory medicine left by Qiao Yi, it is still unknown whether all of them can survive. I am afraid that they will have to trouble the elves to get some water of life from the sacred tree in Daxue Mountain.

As long as people still have breath, the water of life may save the lives of the injured.

It's just that the Divine Tree of Life has just recovered, and the water of life produced is still very scarce, so it can only be used for emergencies.

The Immortal Rose was destroyed, the whole ship was blown to pieces, and sank into the shallows of the Seventh Island, failing to land in time.

But Selea abandoned the ship and fled ahead of time.

At this time, Qiao Yi, who was completely enraged by the tragic situation of the crew, ordered the surrounding area to be blocked, and was looking for the trace of Selea all over the island.

The Seventh Isle was full of pirates strung together with ropes, squatting silently waiting for the Stormneck ships to take them where they were supposed to go.

On the high mountain in the central area, Selea's small palace was full of people and chaos. The former guards searched for gold and silver treasures, and fled from all directions down the mountain. In the brigade.

In a small corner that no one noticed, the haystack on the ground suddenly moved.

The wooden boards were lifted from below, exposing the dark cellar mouth.

A woman cautiously poked her head out to have a look, only to find that there was no Storm collar outside, so she slowly crawled out with her injured leg.

She had changed from the bright red dress to gray cloth, her face was smeared with charcoal, her hair was scratched, and she looked just like any other fleeing pirates.

Behind her is the scribbled and bandaged teenager Mill—that is her favorite "little pet" and she likes to take him everywhere.

Not even running away.

"Hurry up, we have to get out."

Selea covered herself and Mier's face with a gray cloth turban, and took a small path to the small palace.

There was a chest of gold and gems hidden under her bed, with which she could go anywhere and start a new life.

At this moment, the small palace was already in chaos, everyone was thinking of finding more money and fleeing for their lives, no one cared about these two dusty guys.

They made it back to Selia's room without incident.

The gorgeous big room has long been messed up by others.

On the other side of the room, the door to the locked cage of other "pets" opened, and there was no one inside, who had escaped long ago.

Selea got under the bed, rustled for a while, and finally crawled out disheveled, holding a heavy small box in her arms.

She got up and grabbed Mi Er's hand: "Go, I know a secret passage, there is a spare ship over there, let's go to the south..."

In the middle of her words, she was stimulated by the coldness on her neck and suddenly stopped: "You..."

"Where is my sister?" Mier pressed a broken knife against Selea's neck, his voice was calm.

"When you are about to die, you still have the mood to take care of others!!" Selea gritted her teeth: "Did I treat you badly! I will take you with me!!"

Mier didn't speak, but pressed her knife harder.

"Be obedient, put down the knife. I have money in my hand, and I will take you to the south to start a new life, okay?" Selea's attitude softened a little.

"Where's my sister? If I can't find her, I'll kill you and then commit suicide."

The cold blade drew blood on Selea's neck, slightly staining the blade red.

"Okay! Okay—" Selea panicked and grabbed Mier's arm: "I said, I said. You put the knife away, and I will take you to find her and take her with you."

Mier didn't put down the knife, but used even more force.

Selea had no choice but to raise her hand and opened the closet, revealing a hidden door.

Pushing open the secret door, there is a narrow and low dark secret passage inside.

"She's inside." Selea looked into the dark tunnel, her downcast eyes were gloomy: "I'm not lying to you. What's the good of lying to you now? My leg is injured, so I can't climb in. You can Go get her out."

The blade on his neck loosened.

Miller seemed to be hesitating.

However, at this moment, Selea suddenly exploded, snatched the broken knife from Mier's hand, and stabbed it into Mier's body with her backhand.

"Fight with me?" Selea sneered and pulled the broken knife out of Mier's body, grabbed his neck and kicked him away.

The blade pierced deeply into Mier's chest, and the blood stained a large area of ​​clothes.

Mier curled up on the ground and twitched, his beautiful eyes fixed on Seria, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.

The day after tomorrow is Xiao Miya's sixth birthday, and he promised to celebrate her birthday with her.

The blood loss made his head dizzy, and his eyes turned black.

Are you going to die?

But he really wants to live...

Selea shook off the bloody broken knife, patted Mier's fading cheek with cold fingers, and showed a nasty smile: "Do you want to find your sister? Then I'll tell you now..."

She leaned close to Mi Er's ear, and said word by word: "She, long, long ago, died! You will never, never want to see her again!!"

Mier's pupils dilated instantly, and the blood overflowing from his mouth flowed down his delicate chin.

Selea looked at the collapsed Mier with satisfaction, clapped her hands and got up, and walked towards the closet.

She must be out of her mind to think of running away with this white-eyed wolf.Is it because she usually gives him less love?This kind of kindness will be revenged!

There is a secret passage in front of her, and she will be able to leave by boat and start a new life after leaving this secret passage!

Selea hugged the small box in her arms tightly, bent down and burrowed into the secret passage.

"Selea—"

Suddenly there was a scream from behind.

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind, pulling her legs, dragging her out of the secret passage that had already climbed halfway.

Selia turned her head in panic.

In front of her was the blood-stained Mier, who rushed towards her with a broken knife in his hand.

"Pfft-"

The sound of the blade piercing into the flesh sounded.

Selea stared blankly at a large amount of warm blood pouring out of her chest.

The young man rode on her, pulled out the broken knife with bloodshot eyes, and stabbed the woman's body under him again amidst the splash of blood.

Scenes of unbearable past events flowed like a revolving lantern in his mind.

Two years ago, as minor nobles, their family went south by boat to attend the Kingdom's Grand Court Meeting.

Then they met pirates.

The leader is the owner of the Seventh Island who is rumored to like to rob beautiful young people everywhere. Her name is Selea.

All he remembered was that their ship was on fire that day, and the smoke was everywhere.

Father and mother were killed by pirates to protect them.

He and his sister hid in the cabin, but were dragged out.

Just when he thought he was going to die, the woman came to him, pinching his face with hands with bright red nails.

"This child is really beautiful, keep it."

"Where's the little girl?"

The woman glanced back and said lightly, "Throw it into the sea."

Perhaps because he couldn't bear it, a pirate said: "My lord, such a small child..."

The woman seemed impatient, and whipped the pirate: "Shut up, if you like it, then keep it and don't let me see her!"

In this way, the two brothers and sisters were brought back to Raven Island.

He thought he was escaping from the claws of death, but unexpectedly, another hell greeted him.

But in order to survive, he endured everything and went to please her, just so that he could go down the mountain to see his sister every week.

With his pretty face and docile personality, he became the most favored one. The other teenagers in the cage were jealous of him and bullied him when Selea was not around.

He felt that there was something wrong with those people's heads, but there was nothing he could do.

And now, the woman told him that his only relative was gone...

It seemed that the belief that had been supporting him had collapsed, and only blood-red revenge was left in Mill's mind.

He straddled Sereya's body, and the broken knife in his hand fell down like a machine one after another, falling on the woman's neck, chest, shoulders, abdomen...

Warm blood splashed on his body and face, dyeing his vision blood red.

He didn't know how many times he had stabbed him down. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was: kill her, kill her, kill her...

The woman under him had lost her breath long ago, and Mi Er seemed to be in a daze, with empty eyes and still piercing with a knife.

Until the blood gushing from his own chest mixed with Selea's blood and flowed.

His pupils dilated, his eyes dimmed, and he fell on his back.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside the palace.

The door was pushed open.

A ray of sunlight came in and landed on Mier's hand, which was only a short distance away.

It looks very warm.

Mill stretched out his hand with difficulty, and his fingertips touched the warm light.

It's so warm.

It was like the sunshine that shone in my sister's eyes the day they went to sea two years ago.

He closed his eyes, and his consciousness was dragged into an endless abyss.

Faint voices came from outside.

"Lord Lord..."

"...find a little girl..."

"..."

"Yes. I'm crying... looking for my brother..."

"..."

"She said that her brother said that he would accompany her on her birthday every year...wouldn't lie to her..."

"..."

It's just that he doesn't hear anything anymore.

……

When Mill woke up, he was in a daze.

This is a clean and bright big room, some landscape paintings are hung on the white walls, and transparent crystals are inlaid on the big windows, and the warm sunlight shines on the body, making it feel warm.

There are also a few pots of green potted plants on the windowsill, which seem to be growing very well.

He looked down at his pale palms and made a fist.

... I am not, dead?

where is this?

He sat up, lifted the quilt, and was wearing a clean white shirt.

Unbuttoning the button, there was a horrible scar on the heart, which did not heal and scab, but did not bleed.

It was as if time had frozen on him.

How is this going?

Just as Mier was staring at his palm in a daze, the door was pushed open.

The leader was a black-haired young man, and a blond elf stood behind him.

They were holding a little girl with braids in their hands.

"Brother!! You're awake—"

The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, ran over and threw herself into Mier's arms, curled her lips while hugging Mier, and suddenly big tears fell down.

"Brother, I miss you so much..."

Mier touched Miya's small head in his arms, and looked at the youth and elf hesitantly.

"Am I... dreaming?"

……

Mill was certainly not dreaming.

When Qiao Yi and Lando arrived, Mier, who had collapsed in the palace, was already dead.

It was Qiao Yi who used the props to forcibly snatch him back from Death.

But [Christine's thanks] can only renew his life for 20 days.

After 20 days, he will still die.

To this day, the tragic scene in Selea's small palace still makes Qiao Yi feel sad. He can only do his best to let him stay in this world for a while.

Even if it's only 20 days.

Joe left the follow-up matters on Crow Island to Barton and Sammy. He believed that a chief of the army and a chief of the navy could handle the matter there.

The Simon family doesn't plan to stay on Crow Island any longer. They want to resign from their status as pirates and are preparing to move to land.

Qiao Yi designated a large piece of land for them on the already reclaimed Shining Plain.

As for Mier, who fell asleep all day, finally woke up the day before Xiao Miya's birthday.

Until Mi Er took Xiao Miya's hand and walked in Stormwind City where people come and go, it still felt like a dream.

At night, Stormwind City is brightly lit and crowded with people.

The commercial street is full of vendors selling snacks, sweets and knick-knacks.

Stormwind City is especially lively today.

Their lords won the first foreign war, and they took away the pirate's lair!

In the future, the safety factor of the storm leaders going to sea will be greatly improved.

Holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand, Xiao Miya bounced forward while holding Mi Er's hand.

Mier just looked at the top of little Miya's furry head and smiled.

His heart stopped beating, and time was only temporarily frozen on him.

After 20 days, he will usher in a real death.

But he was satisfied.

Miya is still alive, and he has not missed the agreement with Miya, and will spend her sixth birthday with her.

"Miya." Mier patted his sister's head.

"Brother?" The little girl turned her head and gave him a big smile.

"What do you want for your birthday?"

The little girl lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head.

"It's my biggest birthday present that my brother can accompany me."

Miller froze for a moment.

Shhh-bang

A firework bloomed in the night sky, illuminating Miya's star-like eyes.

"Wow—brother! Look!"

Xiao Miya took her brother's hand and pointed to the gorgeous fireworks blooming one after another in the sky.

Mier looked at the sky and bent his eyes: "Well, it looks good."

"clang--"

"clang--"

The clock struck zero.

"Brother, I'm six years old!!"

Mier lowered his eyes and looked tenderly at Miya, who was holding her hands in front of her chest and lowering her head to make a wish earnestly, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Happy birthday, Xiao Miya."

The fireworks dissipated.

The two siblings continued to move forward.

"Miya, what wish did you make?" Mier asked.

Miya shook her head: "I won't tell you. It won't work if you say your wish~"

On the roof not far away, Qiao Yi and Lando were sitting side by side, with a brilliant galaxy above their heads and fireworks on earth beneath their feet.

Qiao Yi saw that the brother and sister were in the midst of fireworks in the world, walking through the sea of ​​people towards the light ahead.

"Lando." Joe looked at Lando's profile, and suddenly said.

"Huh?" Lando turned his face sideways, Qiao Yi's reflection reflected in his clear eyes.

"Wait until the war is over..." Joe leaned on Lando's shoulder, stretched out his hand to hold Xinghe above his head, "shall we get married?"

"it is good."

……

Mier stayed with Miya for 20 days.

They traveled to every corner of Stormwind City, climbed several mountain ranges in the Whispering Forest, visited the elf land in Baixi Valley, and even went to the elf ruins in the Snow Mountain.

The last day.

The brother and sister sat atop the tallest clock tower in Stormwind.

The golden-red sunset fell on them, and also on the hands they held tightly.

One cold and one hot.

Miya's hand is warm, but Mier's is cold.

The huge sun slowly sank towards the mountains, the light slowly converged, and the sky gradually dimmed.

It's time to say goodbye.

Mier clenched Miya's hand, his nose was sore, and he felt his throat was severely blocked.

Facing his young sister, he didn't know how to speak.

"elder brother."

Miya spoke suddenly, looking at Mier with clear eyes.

"Are you going?"

The clever Miya had already noticed something.

For example, my brother always stares at her with nostalgia, such as his palms that are no longer warm, such as his heart that is no longer beating.

And...that big bloodless scar on my brother's chest that he's been hiding all this time...

In fact, my brother...has been gone for a long time...

"..."

Mier's eyes were red, and he touched Miya's head: "Yeah. Brother... I won't be with you anymore."

Miya nodded obediently, and held her brother's hand tightly: "...um."

"Miya." The beautiful young man hugged little Miya into his arms, tears streaming down his face, and his voice choked up: "From now on, you must... listen to what the lord has to say."

"When my brother is away...you should eat well and grow up healthy."

Miya's little head was buried in her brother's icy arms, tears wet the skirt of her chest, but she just clenched her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

If I cry very sadly, my brother will be sad too.

"Brother, I will be obedient and grow up well."

"En." Mier hugged Miya tightly, leaned down and kissed the top of Miya's head: "And..."

"Remember to think of me."
