Year of God's Choice

There was nothing written in that book at all, it was just an ordinary picture book.

Oscar threw away the book trembling all over, and almost rushed in to ask for clarification, but was caught by Laurel.

"Oscar, don't bother the general right now." Laurel forcibly pulled him away.

"It's disgusting!" Oscar yelled and was dragged away by Laurel.

"Well done, Titan." Delanon praised his confidant lieutenant.

Tai Tan put his hands on his chest and saluted briefly, then locked the door and said, "General, can I watch the scene transmitted from the outside world now?"

"Let's play." Delanon stood up, put the crutches leaning against the table under his arm, and walked step by step to the study room connected to the side of the bedroom with one leg.

After putting the study in the bedroom according to the general's preference, the general probably felt that office work was more of a secret than private sleeping.

Different from the luxurious bedroom, General Delanon's study is absolutely well-behaved, exuding an old-fashioned style. The study is surrounded by bookcases with decorative books on it, and a desk in the middle. On board, the style is not diminished in the slightest.

After Delanon sat down behind the desk, Titan pulled down the curtain installed on the wall facing the desk, and the ancient receiver was also turned on, broadcasting the blurry image from Lid from outside the sky.

The picture on the curtain is dark yellow. Lide is sitting in what looks like a palace, lazily lying on the red sofa. His long pink and purple hair hangs down like a cloud, and his face is still the same. Delicate.

"Master Delanon, we haven't seen each other for a hundred years. I think you must be like me, missing each other very, very, very, very, very, very much." Lide said here, using his "hands" to pick up the cherries on the golden plate, and ate them gracefully with.His artificial hands seemed more delicate and flexible, almost identical to real arms.

"I am honored to tell you that His Majesty the Emperor is very annoyed by your 100 years of AWOL. What are you doing when we are all desperately fighting against the rebellion of the Holy Church? Huh? Put all the pressure on Others close the door and enjoy themselves! And you abducted my subordinate Titan, and I have a reason to annex the Eastern Territory for both public and private purposes." Lide stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and then He smiled maliciously and said, "Okay, I won't talk too much to you, let me convey His Majesty's sacred will now—Delanon Kesu, and you will immediately lead the imperial warship to the battlefield The amber capital on the front line, Your Majesty will gather elite forces there to fight against the rebels!"

"It seems that there is no detailed description of the assembly time." Delanon played sloppy.

"The meeting time is seven days later," Lide seemed to guess what Delonon was thinking, and added, "Those who arrive late will have a leg chopped off!"

"Turn off that disgusting thing." Delanon didn't want to look at Lid for a second.

"General, it seems that we have to speed up. If we go to the border at this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the assembly time requested by the emperor." Tai Tan said, he vaguely knew that Lied had no hands and Dranon had no right leg, all because Once disobeyed the emperor's will.

"Titan, I'll go alone, you stay here." Delano said.

"But! If you go alone!" Tai Tan was taken aback.

"The eastern kingdom that I have managed to build needs you to help me protect it. For me, that is my most precious possession. Titan, you should understand what I mean."

"I..." Tai Tan lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Yes, General."

Delanon nodded happily.

"Get me supplies for the journey, it may be a very long... journey."

Looking at the dim sea outside the window, Delanon's eyes were blurred.

The speed of the ship's sailing has inexplicably increased a lot, not through steam power, but other forces.Both Oscar and Laurel understood in their hearts that the increased speed might be due to someone.

Ten times faster than the original plan, the ship stopped at the border port very quickly. After getting off the ship, Delanon and Titan rode away alone. Laurel and Oscar who decided to find out also followed secretly. They galloped straight into the desolate valleys of the frontier.

The canyon, like a labyrinth and the devil's dead city, is a vast uninhabited dangerous area, and there are extremely ferocious mutant monsters living in it. Oscar and the two who followed Dranon into the canyon were also a little worried at this moment.They followed Dranon and Titan for three days and two nights. Dranon enjoyed traveling on horseback. Although Emperor Kadi had a tight schedule, he didn't care. He would sleep in the open at night and drink occasionally. Have a drink.

Finally, they came to the deepest part of the canyon—the stone mountain covered with roses, which is called the Hill of Roses. Is it a miracle of nature?

"You two boys really linger." Delanon suddenly turned his horse's head for some reason, and said to the two hiding in the dark not far behind.

Oscar and Laurel had to come out from behind the stone bush.

Delanon sneered and motioned to Tai Tan, who immediately got off his horse and walked over to hold the horse's reins for the general.

"We just want to know the truth!" Laurel said, "I don't intend to offend you, General!"

"The truth is something your ilk can bear. Go back and don't test my patience." Delanon looked down at them from the horse.

"Damn it! We finally came here, how could we give up just because we said we'd give up! My lord, I'm the world-renowned Flying Eagle Pirate!" Oscar said unconvinced.

Delanon simply ignored him, but ordered Tai Tan: "Help me off the horse."

The Titan stretched out his hands towards Delanon on the horse, almost hugging him off the horse - in order to facilitate riding, Delanon did not install artificial legs.

Delanon, who dismounted from the horse, took the crutch that Tai Tan handed over, and walked towards the ship-shaped rocky mountain full of roses. It was a bit strange that those delicate roses bloomed so gorgeously and densely in such a place where there was no grass.

Those roses were the improved plants planted on the warship by Delonon's order. After 100 years, the soldiers who served on the warship have long since died and disappeared. Only this sea of ​​flowers is still youthful and beautiful like the general. Loneliness blooms in this unknown place.

The other three watched as Delanon took off the lace gloves he had been wearing all the time, and turned his palms to himself, not knowing what to do.It wasn't until the blood slowly dripped down his elegant and slender fingers that Laurel and the others realized that the general's hand had been injured unconsciously.

"General, your hands are bleeding!" Seeing Delanon's indifferent expression, Laurel couldn't help reminding him.But the loyal lieutenant, Tai Tan, turned a deaf ear to the general's injury, and even stretched out his arm to stop him from going forward.

Delanon quietly watched the blood dripping on the rock, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said: "This is not enough."

Let’s talk, he used his other hand to lightly stroke his wrist, and a neat incision was made on his pure white wrist—more blood gushed out, and the dripping blood was even on the general’s face. A small pool of blood formed on the edge of the boot.

"What are you doing! Self-mutilation!" Oscar also exclaimed, "Hey! We didn't come to see you cut your wrists and commit suicide!"

Delanon smiled slightly. The blood flowing out of his body seemed to have life at this moment, and began to swim upstream independently, rushing towards the ship-shaped boulder. The strange scene made Oscar and Laurel who made a fuss stunned. mouth, staring blankly at this scene.

The blood flowing from the general's wrist seemed to be unstoppable, and it continued to rush towards the huge rock that seemed to have magical power to attract the blood. The situation lasted for more than ten minutes, and the general's entire hand was covered with blood. It was dyed as if soaked in fresh blood. According to the way of bleeding like that, ordinary people would have dried up and died!

Finally, a strange roar began to echo in the dead canyon, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Master General! Please stop the bleeding!" Tai Tan finally spoke.

"Well..." Delanon let out an inaudible groan, his body finally shook uncontrollably, and the moment he fell backwards slumped, Tai Tan supported him in time.

The general was carefully supported to sit on the ground, and Tai Tan gently held the general's bleeding right hand. With Tai Tan's light grip, a faint light shone slightly, and the wounds on the wrist and palm gradually closed. Tai Tan said: "Laurel, there is a medical kit in the backpack on the horse, take that here."

Laurel quickly brought the medicine box over, took out the ointment and bandages and brought them to Titan.

"There are emergency medical injections here..." Although Laurel had received special training in the military camp, he was still in a hurry at this time.

On the contrary, Tai Tan skillfully bandaged Delanon's right hand, and bit open the seal of a small bottle of medical medicine for injection with his mouth, and put the medicine bottle beside Delanon's petal-like soft lips.

"My lord, please drink this, it will be good for your injury." Tai Tan tilted his fingers slightly, using a suitable angle to moisten the general's lips with the precious medical potion little by little.

However, the vibration became more and more intense at this time. In front of several people, the huge rock began to loosen, countless gravels rolled down, and a huge object seemed to be about to emerge from the rock. Laurel and Oscar raised their necks I was stunned—the falling stones were so dense that it was impossible to avoid them!

"Be careful!" Oscar watched a falling rock that was bigger than the four of them combined rolled down. He sounded a warning but there was nothing to dodge. At the last moment, the protective mask suddenly opened, enveloping all four of them. It makes the falling stone turn into powder when it touches the brilliance.

"My lord! Using force forcibly will aggravate your injuries! You have almost consumed all your blood just now to activate the Great Templar warship..." Tai Tan said nervously.

"It's nothing, Titan." Delanon opened his misty eyes, "The temple... is calling me..."

"What is that?!" Oscar screamed excitedly—————

I saw that it got rid of the shackles of the rock shell, and the shining giant covered in a sea of ​​flowers gradually rose to the sky-so shining, crystal, and dazzling!The majestic and incomparably beautiful overlord of the sky—the exclusive property of the imperial generals. The imperial ship of the Eastern Temple!

That's what all pirates dream of!No!It's the ultimate pirate's dream!

Oscar was deeply shocked!anyway!He must go aboard that gigantic ship!Even if I die, I am willing!

"I want to board that ship!! I must board that ship!!" Oscar yelled, almost falling into madness.

And Laurel couldn't speak for a long time, so he could only stare blankly at the behemoth.

"Stupid, that's my property. How can you allow such a boring mortal to defile me." Delanon finally got rid of the Titan's embrace and sat up. "Then, thank you, Titan, for taking care of my baby for 100 years." time."

It turned out that the general just played a trick again - as the flawless God Chosen who is like a perpetual motion machine, the blood that bleeds out of his body can be replenished immediately, just now he passed out and took medicine, which shows that Tai Tan is very serious about his general's cooperation. tacit agreement.

"It is my honor to serve you." Tai Tan put his hands on his chest and bowed his head slightly in salute.

"Then, here is where we say goodbye temporarily." Delano said looking up at the church.

"Please forgive me for your betrayal. I'm sorry that I can't do what you wanted this time." Tai Tan raised his eyes and said, "Since the general has been decided to be sent here, this subordinate has no plans to go back."
