Chapter 1065 (2/2)
Of course, there is the ”black cross” serliol.
Loren's heart sank.
Asriel warned Loren that opening the second valve means giving the ”black cross” serliol a chance to return to the material world again; In other words, the guy is probably back now, but he hasn't appeared in front of him yet.
He is crouching in a corner, waiting for his own chance.
As for seryol's purpose, Loren already has some eyebrows - but whatever he wants to do, he must first get two nine pointed star Holy Grails and destroy the Holy Cross.
The former has a holy grail in Loren's hands, and now he is the only person in the world who knows where the second Holy Grail is;
The latter wants to completely dig out the foundation of the Holy Cross in this world, which means that he must help or secretly manipulate the Azores to defeat the Empire, or at least let the elves die with the Empire.
To achieve both goals, serlior will have the most direct direct direct conflict with Loren.
In other words, the next battle, the ”black cross” serlior, will no longer be able to fake others - this time, he must be both a chess player and a chess piece. If necessary, he must even fight in person, and he can no longer hide behind the scenes to manipulate the situation.
Such a result... I really don't know whether it is good or bad.
”At least, it's finally over.” Loren said with some emotion.
”Yes, it's over - the battle of blood skeleton Valley, the fortress of duanjie mountain doesn't have to worry about being invaded by demons for the time being.” Lucian was also deeply touched and glanced at the sand like pieces of rotten corpses and demons.
This was where he started, where he won glory, where he... Chose to abandon the past and vowed to follow Loren Turin to the death.
Abandoned his family, abandoned him in the bright future of the Empire, but won the victory of the demon invasion war in Loren Turin that even Archduke vilz had never won; He even defeated an evil god Apostle and completed the glory never realized by the vilz family.
But somehow, Lucian's heart felt no joy of victory, only endless melancholy.
The more you grow up, the more you feel that the world is different from what you imagined - even if you want to kill your enemies, it doesn't seem so heinous, or even worthy of sympathy, respect and praise.
At the last moment of fighting with the ”tyrannical apostle”, the grey pupil boy could clearly feel that the other party was still alive; If you really want to, you can drag yourself to death.
But he didn't do that - after being torn open by the Tomahawk, he calmly changed his short sword to himself, and chose to admit his failure and victory.
It's himself... Lucian feels that he may not have the courage to ”admit defeat” like that... It's not just responsibility and honor. I'm afraid it's the desire to live that dominates his body.
”Even you are a very brave and admirable guy.”
Looking down at the headless body of the eagle king, the gray pupil whispered to himself.
At the same time, Lucian, who was vaguely aware of something, turned to look at him and saw that the dark haired wizard was looking at him with some banter.
”Ah... Lord Loren, I don't, I don't mean that! I, I mean the eagle king, this hateful elf, he...”
”No, you're right.”
Powerless raised his right hand, smiling Loren interrupted Lucian's flustered defense: ”whether it's a decision to launch a comprehensive invasion, or go to the glacier wasteland alone to reach a contract with the evil god... The eagle king is indeed a very brave guy.”
”Of course, he is also cruel and ruthless. His hands are covered with blood and killed many people and friends we know, including master Halin van ashamay, but...”
”These do not prevent us from respecting our enemies, just as respecting our opponents does not prevent us from resisting, avenging and denouncing their tyranny - because if even enemies like monsters can honestly face failure, they can respect their opponents, admit their tyranny and the cruelty they have to do...”
”Then, if we can't do all this, we still madly belittle the enemy and say that they are good for nothing except tyranny and cruelty... Aren't we worse than monsters?”
With that, Loren couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.
Ruthen, with a thoughtful expression, lowered his head in distress.
Just at this time, there was a constant cry of bugles and orders around; The officers who assembled the cavalry began to assemble in the direction of Loren from all sides of the valley.
”Duke, your cavalry have assembled!”
Regrell and count lanmallos, who were drinking angrily, turned over and dismounted respectfully in front of the black haired Wizard: ”the soldiers on the highland sent a signal to ask you where we are going next?”
Where are you going?
The dark haired wizard, who was slightly stunned, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.
”Now that we have stood at the end of the north of the world, there is only one place to go.” Loren suddenly raised his voice and looked around at the excited faces around him:
”All staff are ready. The rear team changes to the front team and drives towards the fortress of duanjieshan!”
”Empire, let's go home --!”
”Go home --!!!!!!! Go home --!!!!!! go home --!!!!!!!”
The cry of the surging Valley went straight into the sky.
In the sound of the shouting wave, the black haired wizard gradually calmed down, and the sound in his ears became as if it had come from a far away place.
On the distant hillside, the dawn sun poured the dazzling sunshine on the snow, shining silver; From a distance, we can see two huge ”dark shadows” spreading their wings and coming towards the blood skeleton valley from the south.
Don't think about it. Loren has guessed who it is.
The corners of the mouth lift up powerlessly, and unspeakable fatigue attacks the body; Loren only felt his consciousness getting more and more faint, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, his body seemed to fall into the cloud, and he could no longer feel the slightest weight.
”Lord Loren --?!”
”Duke?!”
”Duke!”
There was a chaotic cry of surprise in his ears, but Lauren didn't care. He loosened his body and leaned back. He was sleepy and fell asleep.
