Dust of History Chapter 18: Preparation (below)
Real life is far more bizarre than any other event, and it is even more bizarre and unbelievable. If Asa heard that a woman like Talis suddenly and inexplicably walked with a man like him in an enemy incident, when everyone was running around desperately, the two of them were together Tangled and lingering together in a small hotel, he must have felt that this enemy incident was fabricated. But in reality, the two of them spent more than ten days in a hotel in Wangdu.
In the past ten days or so, they have no concept of time, and they are so dazed that it doesn't seem like reality, but they are so clear that they can recall every detail and every excitement.
These are two men and women who are extremely empty. The only one is because of the weight, the things on the shoulders are too heavy, extremely heavy, but from a certain point of view, he does not have enough strength and the right to bear this weight. No matter how he tried to fight and fight, in the end he could only do nothing like a bystander, and under the huge pressure was a huge emptiness and anxiety.
The other is that because of her lightness, all the beliefs and beliefs she had carried on her back were wiped out, and she could no longer find anything to support herself. Even the few feelings she originally had were turned into ashes in the collision with her beliefs. In her life, it seemed that there was suddenly nothing, no direction, no warmth to hold in her hands.
Whether it is light or heavy, the extreme emptiness has long since wiped away all the past of the two of them without a trace. This is just a simple man and woman, doing all the things that a man and a woman can do together. Communicate with each other in all possible ways, and find comfort and warmth in each other.
The time of the seventeenth day is coming soon, and this is already the dawn of the seventeenth day. Just feeling the bursts of feeling from the Academy of Magic. Asa knew he had to go.
"I'm leaving." Asa leaned over and patted Talis, the silky blond hair and soft skin were intertwined and inseparable from each other.
"Is it really possible to come back?" Talis asked after being silent for a while. If anyone can see her now, it is impossible to think that she has no womanhood, and she is more womanly than any woman without clothes.
"Probably. I'll try my best." Asa thought for a while and nodded.
"I'll go with you." Talis said suddenly.
"I will be distracted." Asa shook his head.
The sky is already dark, and the entire capital has not yet fully awakened. But the Academy of Magic is already full of people.
Even though there were some pedestrians on the street, none of them were near the Magic Academy. They couldn't see what was going on in the high wall, but the aura that was completely incompatible with the king in the morning permeated it. It wasn't an ordinary murderous aura, the air was filled with a solemn and murderous aura like a red-hot subway.
On the square, all members of the Paladin Order and the priests and magicians of the Academy of Magic have gathered together, and Captain Roland is watching them. Beside them are hundreds of magicians from the Tower of Fang led by Edlied and Grandon.
The faces of the members of the Holy Knight Order showed nothing unusual. These are the elite of the elite who have experienced many battles. Not just a warrior who sees death as home, but also a soldier with iron will and discipline. It's just that they are still human beings after all, and they all understand the arduousness of this upcoming battle and the narrow escape from death, and their natural fighting spirit in the face of death is already overflowing.
The surrounding mages and priests have been infected by this atmosphere, breathing heavily like a cow, many people's eyes are already bloodshot.
"I have already told you that what we are facing today is an unprecedented enemy. But we must face it, not only for ourselves, but also for everything behind us." Captain Roland stood in the middle of the square Above the statue, overlooking the people below. His appearance is so elegant that he doesn't look like a warrior, he doesn't speak much or gorgeous, and his voice is not majestic, but there are deeper and more touching things in these simple words, expressed in a simple and flat way. The fortitude of the talk directly poured into the hearts of every listener.
"Everyone will die and fail. No one is not afraid, even I am no exception. The only way for us is to face and overcome everything in front of us. Then survive. Our rent first, The predecessors have come this way, so we can have us now. And we will continue to go like this.”
No one cheers, this is not an exciting and exciting thing, but what these words give people is the deepest and most fundamental concept in everyone's heart: to live.
The light of the morning sun that was slightly exposed in the sky was slight and soft, but it seemed to be forced into needles one after another when it fell on the bodies of all the people, which hurt people and hindered them from waking up. It makes people want to fight and live.
Asa didn't bother these fighters, but quietly walked to the door of the cathedral. Here the Pope, Lancelot, and Grew are all here.
"You're here." Gru looked at him and nodded. He doesn't seem to care much about where he's been these days.
"Here we come." Asa nodded to him, and also nodded to Lancelot and the Pope next to him.
Lancelot suddenly asked: "How are you doing these days?"
Asa glanced at him, feeling a little less unexpected about this somewhat unexpected greeting, he honestly replied: "Very good."
"That's good." The paladin replied. Nothing could be seen from his face.
"Let's report to you, the titular leader, that everything is in order. The Western troops have assembled in Feilong Desert, and they are waiting for us, Oufu, and you." The Pope looked at He said coldly.
Asa nodded, and couldn't help but bend over to him: "Thank you for your hard work."
While the Pope was speaking, he was crouching and coughing lightly. Every time he coughed, he held a red and white handkerchief in his hand and covered his mouth. I haven't seen him for more than ten days, he seems to be decades old. Although the face still looks like Adela's, anyone who looks at it can feel that the life in his body that has begun to decay and dry up is rapidly leaving him.
As Asa looked, what he could see clearly was that he was dying gradually. The functions in his body are being distorted in a completely irreversible and strange way, and then the imbalance collapses. In fact, this body has already begun to be between undead monsters and living things, but this old man is desperately using highly accomplished white magic Maintain body balance.
"Then shall we set off now?" Asa asked.
"There are still people, but it's time to come."
Not long after, the figures of two elves came from the direction of the teleportation magic circle. It's Lua and Elf Patrolman Kailin.
"The elves only let them go?" Asa asked.
Lancelot shook his head: "Of course not. They don't have to go, their bows and natural magic are useless on that occasion. They are here to deliver things."
The two walked straight, and when they saw Asa, Luya's eyes turned red, and there was sparkle in her big eyes, but she tried not to stay out. Kailin still holds the huge black longbow in her hand, but now she is no longer holding it in her hand like in the past, but holding it in her hand.
"After the elders discussed it, Elder Lloyd decided to give you the bow used by Queen Isabel. As compensation for our elves not being able to directly participate in the war. This phantom bow is said to be a treasure used by the royal family of the elves empire , It has defended the Tulaleone forest and our elves countless times, and I hope you can return it to us after you use it up. I really don’t know how the elders can take such a treasure..."
Kailin clasped her bow with both hands, and was still reluctant to let go of her words. But Gru snatched the bow away.
"It should have been brought here a long time ago. Finally, Lloyd still understands, lest I go to the Forest of Whispers to get it myself."
"This feeling..." Holding the black longbow, Gelu's whole person seemed to have changed a little, and a burst of joy and excitement flashed across his eyes that were already happy and carefree. He didn't say much, but enough to express his meaning. "Okay."
Luya looked at Asa with both reluctance and sadness on her face, but she couldn't say anything. The elf girl never learned how to express her feelings.
Asa smiled lightly, reached out and patted her on the head, and then turned to Lancelot and said, "Well, then we can go."
"Wait~IndoMTL.com~The Pope suddenly spoke. He reached into his arms and took out something and handed it to Asa. "I can't go, but you should take this thing." "
The hand of the Pope was trembling like a hundred-year-old man. Lying on the palm of his hand was a ring that looked ordinary at first glance, without the slightest decoration or engraving, and it was only on one place. There is a scratch. Asa knew what it was, this ring had been worn on his hand for quite a while.
"Isn't this thing exhausted?" Asa asked.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't give it to you." The pope coughed twice, then raised his hand to wipe away the blood from his mouth. "It's just that this thing should touch the dark star. This is the reason it was created, and it can be regarded as helping an old friend of mine. Also, in a sense, this is originally It should be yours.
"En." Asa put the ring back on his finger, recalled the feeling for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go."
In the early morning, with a loud noise. The residents of the capital saw a huge curtain of blue light flashing in the Academy of Magic. Soon after, with the disappearance of the light curtain, all the sounds and breaths in the Magic Academy disappeared.
