[Xin Wei] The old man never dies

four,

"Because of your past actions, we have ordered you to be exiled in the name of His Majesty the King. Next, you will go to the forest of Verdan."

"I have no problem," he said.

Alves crossed the crowd in the square, completely ignoring the noise around him.The sun was so poisonous that it made his steps shake a little.

Although his body was about to fail, Alves still felt ecstasy overwhelming.He had an idea that perhaps this news should be told to Singold, wondering when they would meet again?

Man is capricious, even himself.Tormented by the alternation of hope and despair, Alves has completely abandoned the desire to die, and the desire to survive has overwhelmed everything else.And now he finally got his wish.Regardless of whether it was family members or dignity that he was going to lose, he no longer cared about it.He can still think about those things slowly when he calms down.But now, he just wants to enjoy the moment of victory.

Celis stood before the crowd.He did not rely on the guards to separate the bystanders, and slowly came to him with the holy sword.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" he asked.Yulia was standing beside him.That's about the same question she wanted to ask.

Alves said: "This matter... let that person know."

Celis nodded.He knew that "the one" was nobody else.

"Also... I hope to pay homage to Tiadora before I leave... It's a little late for me to see her," he said.

"...That's no problem. After arriving in Verdan, you can also go to the place where she lived in seclusion. There will be no discrimination against the descendants of Myra."

Alves looked up in surprise, and after a while, he smiled wryly.

"Is it for this reason that you let me go to Verdan... You are really considerate."

"This is Oife's opinion, but to be honest, he is very upset about it." Celis smiled wryly.Oife has still not been able to forgive the tragedy Alves created. All the knights he was familiar with died in the flames of the royal capital.For more than ten years, he worked hard in Yitzhak, and finally assisted Celis to regain the throne. He definitely didn't want to let the murderer back then go.Celis took great pains to convince him.But it's worth it. If even Oife has no objections, there will be no resistance among the rest of the people.

"It's okay, I don't expect his forgiveness, Yulia."

His daughter came forward.

Alves hugged her.

"It's worth seeing you alive...it's all worth it. You...don't marry someone who treats you badly, but don't let yourself be alone. But I'm destined not to see your wedding and children..." He Said, remembering the last farewell between father and daughter.Things still haven't changed...the things he wants to say can't be finished in a lifetime. "Okay, don't feel sorry for me. The world is kind enough to me. I will leave everything that belongs to me to you, although it may not be much."

"You have given me enough," she replied.

He knew he had to harden his heart and part.Alves didn't want to cry in public.He let go of his daughter and nodded to the two guards who escorted him.

"There's nothing more to say."

Before embarking on the journey, he suddenly thought that the ghost of the capital would disappear after that day... People would also believe that Singold was satisfied with such an execution.His real soul has also been rested in peace...

Only Alves knew that he sat with him for a whole night.

The already peaceful country is steadily recovering from the trauma of the war, and Alves is also feeling better physically during the journey.A year of imprisonment made it difficult for him to walk, and he could only walk in a carriage, but when he returned to Xi Yafei, he was able to walk well.It was almost spring, and the land was slowly returning to life. He admired the scenery that he had never seen before.

After obtaining permission, he went to the cliff leading to the sea outside the city of Siaf, where he listened to the sound of the tide.The moon rose quickly, and the sound of the waves made people drowsy.He had never felt anything like this in his youth in Wiltoma, just waiting like this, as if something was going to happen.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, a smiling voice sounded behind him: "Someone told me that I can meet you here."

He suddenly woke up, turned his head, and Singold was there, under the moonlight.Alves wasn't sure for a moment if what he saw was a ghost.

Singold's appearance had changed a lot—he seemed to be in his 20s, with longer hair and a thinner face.Alves realized that this time...it didn't take long for him, but it may have been several years for Singold.The passage of time between the two of them does not coincide.

"You came back from the capital?"

"It's a little hard to say... I have finished my military school courses and participated in some wars. However, the real war that Celis mentioned has not yet come. I think it will be soon..."

"It seems that you have a lot of experience."

"I saw you in the capital... the old you. However, I still couldn't talk properly. The old you really didn't like me very much."

Alves smiled bitterly: "I told you already, I was just a self-centered bastard in the past. But..."

He recalled that when he saw Singold in the capital, he was not as indifferent as he thought.In addition to being attracted by his eyes, he was also mixed with emotions of shock and jealousy.Some people are born sweet and happy...

"Actually, if I tell you everything, will it change anything in the end? If I can get your consent, I will do so."

"If he believes you, just say it." Alves replied. "up to you."

Singold looked at him strangely: "I thought you would object."

"Suddenly changed my mind. It's probably because I have got rid of my past identity, and now I don't have to think about others when I speak and do things. In fact, if there is a chance to redeem my past mistakes... then I will be very happy."

"That's good." Singold's eyes sparkled, and at this moment, he looked as innocent as before. "I'll tell him you said those things."

"I don't have much confidence in myself."

However, Alves suddenly felt warm in his chest.He seemed to understand why this guy was liked and trusted by so many people.Every time he saw Singold, he always felt that he had found something he had long since left behind.

"Speaking of which, who told you I'd be here?" he asked.

"Oife... Actually, I've seen him since I came back from the capital."

"Oh..." Alves understood, no wonder the guy seemed much relieved.Singold's attitude obviously had a great influence on him.

"Then, by the way, pay homage to Alec, Neuxiu and Adam...I still can't understand how those three living guys..."

"So just stop me." Alves said with a firmer tone. "Maybe you can stop me from making those mistakes...if it's not possible, if I die..."

But Singold said: "You told me before that this power means choosing between different things. It means putting a price on them. Of course the three knights are important to me, But is it justified to kill you because of this? I'm a knight, I can't do this kind of thing. I've figured it out for years."

"You're the biggest idiot I know."

"Alves..." Singold seemed a little sad.

Alves realized that he was losing his toughness to Singold step by step.This change suddenly made him a little helpless.

"Forget it, nothing happened yet." He said guiltily. "I'll be able to have a good time tonight... I remember when we first met you said you wanted to go for a walk, and I couldn't accompany you. Do you want to take a walk along this beach?"

Singold agreed, and the two of them walked slowly down the cliff.On the way downhill, Alves' movements were a little slow, and Singold stayed by his side, as if he could protect him.It's a good night, and it will last for years.
