Awakening of Rebirth

Changsheng and Jiang Zheng fled all the way with the bleak-faced bun, with few pursuers behind them, and were quickly thrown off by the three of them. Such ease made Jiang Zheng feel a little uneasy, but he didn't know how to suppress this feeling. Feeling uneasy, he could only silently support Baozi and sit aside.

Baozi took advantage of this short respite to quickly stop the bleeding on the wound that pierced his shoulder, but he heard the death knell suddenly ringing, coming from the Kakalun Palace they had just escaped, one after another, dull Incomparable, his face turned pale when he heard it.

Chang Sheng frowned, looking at Bao Zi hesitating to speak, but finally he shook his head and said in a low voice: "I won't drag everyone down anymore."

Saving Irene was originally his own selfish desire. He knew that doing so might fall into the trap of the demons, but he still refused to look back. This in itself was wrong.Changsheng and Jiang Zheng could leave him behind and turn around to leave. He was just a small follower they picked up in Talan, his status was low, and he could be thrown away at will, but they all chose to stay and advance and retreat with him...

Mogg killed Irene with his own hands in front of his eyes, hindering the Demon Race, and at the same time extinguished the last impulse in his heart.

Thousands of thoughts in his mind are in a mess, he can't figure out what he really thinks at this moment, but he also understands one thing, a person must be strong in order to protect the person he wants to protect, but along the way, he has never been able to become strong .

Because of this, he became the one who needed to be protected, and because of this, when Mogg used the most cruel and direct way to protect him, he didn't even have the ability to refuse.

Such him, the only thing he can do in the future is not to be dragged down.

"Let's go, Blind is waiting for us." Jiang Zheng said, looking up into the distance, unable to bear to meet the stubborn gaze of the dwarf boy.

After a lapse of one month, the three of them dragged their tired bodies to see the blind again, and before they even had time to say hello, they were taken away from Statar by a teleportation array.

The distance that the small teleportation array activated by one person would not be too far. After the aperture of the array faded, the four of them landed in an uninhabited cave on the hillside of Statar.

Jiang Zheng stared at Lagi and hesitated for a long time, and finally handed Mogg's letter and the Black Flame Stone on Chang Sheng's body into his hands.

After receiving it, Lackey put it away carefully, stepped forward to treat Baozi and Jiang Zheng's respective injuries, and then dozed off by the fire, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and just came to this old place by chance to revisit some.

The dwarf snored loudly, and there was no one outside the cave, and the sky was about to brighten, and it was moon white.

Baozi stared blankly, his eyes drifted away, and his thoughts drifted away.

I can't see everyone's expressions blindly, but I can clearly feel the solemnity under this silence.With the death knell ringing at Karen Palace, and Moge who didn't leave together, she didn't want to ask what happened that night, and Changsheng and Jiang Zheng didn't say much. Everyone tacitly didn't mention it.

"He won't sell us to that old man Ron?" Jiang Zheng lowered his voice and whispered to Blind and Chang Sheng beside him.

"Trust him." Blind's tone was firm, not because she trusted Lackey so much, but because they had no other choice at this moment.

Jiang Zheng smiled wryly, thinking about it, she had no other choice.

The letter asking for help should have arrived at Talan a few days ago. The three of them and Baozi are not proficient in magic. I only know that Mogg once said that even a genius mage like Laki wants to unilaterally activate the teleportation method. It is also almost impossible.At the other end of the teleportation array, there must be a powerful coordinator. Looking at the entire El and the mainland, there are very few people with this ability.

The existence of the Black Flame Stone makes all of this possible, and the help it can provide is to minimize the requirements for the ability of the correspondent.As long as Changsheng's second brother, His Highness Tafil, can receive the letter and secretly find some capable people to meet him at the appointed time and place, they will be able to leave Eggert smoothly and escape the trap of dwarves and demons. hunt down.

"The letter should have arrived." Chang Sheng murmured.

"Well, it should." Blind replied softly.

"That's good..." Chang Sheng said, being careful not to touch the wound, leaning sideways against the stone wall, closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Blind got up, went to sit down beside Baozi, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?"

"When I was young, I heard many stories about heroes." Baozi said, lowering his eyelashes: "But I am not a hero in front of everyone I want to protect."

"You have embarked on a road that ordinary people would not take, and you have the courage to sacrifice everything for it. Everything you are doing now is something only a hero can do. The stories we heard when we were young, many praises The greatness of the heroes, but few remember the terrible price they paid for it."

Baozi's eyes were moist: "Really?"

"I have followed Priest Quicksand for many years. Others only know that she has guarded the Voldo elves for 2000 years, but they don't know that there was a person in her heart who wanted to protect but was unable to protect." Blind said, hugging his knees with his hands, faintly Said: "Such sacrifices are not rare in a hero's life."

"Can everything... be sacrificed?"

"Everyone has a balance in their hearts. Only you know which is lighter and which is heavier."

Baozi was speechless for a while, and after a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help asking: "In your heart, what is heavier?"

"Preventing the resurrection of the black dragon is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, and it is more important than everything else." Blind said, his godless eyes seemed to see the hope in the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said firmly: "Baozi, remember, we Although we are partners, when necessary, I will choose to sacrifice you without hesitation. If one day, I also have the value of sacrifice, I hope you will choose to sacrifice me without hesitation."

"Is it……"

"Senior Mogg must have thought this way when he chose to sacrifice himself. Since we have survived, we must carry on with his expectation." Blind said, groping to find the back of Baozi's hand, and lightly He patted lightly and said, "Cheer up!"

Baozi stretched out his hand to press the painful wound on his shoulder, and told himself: No matter what, you must cheer up first.

***

Late autumn has passed, and the coldness of winter came too suddenly, and the increasingly biting cold wind, like the unwilling mourning of the deceased, tore everyone's thin body in bursts.

Three or four days after they left Statar, Chang Sheng and his party learned the news that Frost had passed away on the night they escaped from Garkalun Palace.

It turned out that the death knell that night did not ring for Irene alone. So far, Eggert has changed hands, and the new king is Frost's eldest son, another brand new puppet raised by the demons since childhood.

After the new king succeeded to the throne, he pushed the boat along the way, and pushed the deaths of Frost and Irene on them. Lackey also became an accomplice, and was charged with the crime of revenge, colluding with outsiders, and attempting to usurp the throne.In this way, Eggert issued a nationwide arrest warrant for Changsheng and his party, and sealed off the border, strictly checking the identities of all people entering and leaving.

In this regard, Jiang Zheng said that he really couldn't understand how the king who had long been reduced to a puppet of the demons died at the hands of the demons.After hearing this, Lackey said, "Irene... is the bottom line that Frost cannot touch." His tone revealed exhaustion and helplessness.

Blind spent a lot of time convincing him, and he was dubious at first, until when he was preparing to receive the teleportation array near Statar, he really sensed the existence of demonic energy, and after confirming that the royal family of Eggert had already been controlled by the demons, he I completely believed everything I said.

It has been too long since he and Frost fell in love with the same woman. Although he could not forgive the person he called his brother for stealing his beloved, he could not accept the choice she made in the end. I even suffered from all kinds of news about the "king and queen" from afar, but the unwillingness in my heart has long been dried up by time. If there is anything left, it is probably that things are right and people are not queens. Hold on to Hugh's share.

He heard the news of her death back then, and now he heard that Frost and the child would go with her together. He was excluded early in the year, and he, who knew nothing about everything, finally sorted out everything that happened through the mouth of others. Because of this, he even became the only survivor, how ridiculous.

It's just that now, although his heart is throbbing, he has long since disdain to talk, but secretly made a vow in his heart - this life will be at odds with the demons.

Lackey is very familiar with Eggert. Although the five were wanted, they hid in Tibet under the leadership of Lackey, but they were safe and sound all the way. The most anxious thing was Talan's long-term assistance. Can't wait, at the beginning the letter clearly told Tafil that he must find someone to meet him at the agreed time and place, but now Lackey has left his body many times and went to perceive but failed to get in touch with the responder.

A few days passed, and after countless failed attempts, Lagi finally sensed the existence of the respondent. With the cooperation of the other party, relying on the power of the Black Flame Stone, Lagi slowly activated the teleportation array he had drawn earlier. .

However, just when everyone was overjoyed, the slowly opened portal of the teleportation array collapsed. Lagi didn't even have time to take into account the momentary pain of backlash, so he tried to connect with the responder's consciousness again, only to find that the person who responded to him earlier Appears to have lost signs of life.

"Senior!" Baozi on the side quickly went online to support Lagi.

"What happened!" Jiang Zheng stood up instantly in shock, staring blankly at the broken array, with increasingly complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Disappeared..." Lagi gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood rushing to his throat. Losing his last patience, he clenched his fists and said, "There must be something wrong with Taran."

Blind and speechless, Baozi looked at Chang Sheng and Jiang Zheng.

"It was my negligence. When we were still able to send messages, we shouldn't have chosen Tafil." Jiang Zheng regretted, "The Mingluo people are at the border and cannot be reached by the demons, so he is the best choice. "

At that time, Jiang Zheng had already thought of this, but Chang Sheng had seen Ming Luo die in her arms, so no matter what happened in this life, she would definitely hope that the young Ming Luo would be excluded from all plans... It was precisely because of understanding Chang Sheng's thoughts that he had more compassion at the beginning, and was unable to force Chang Sheng to involve Ming Luo.

"Azheng, don't blame the second brother... something must have happened to the second brother, someone is stopping him..." Changsheng was still explaining one second, but couldn't help worrying the next second: "Eggert is like this, Ainota How could it be any better? Now the second brother must be unable to control himself in Talan, maybe our letter has dragged him down..." She has already implicated Tafil, if the original letter was sent to Mingluo, maybe Will implicate him: "Mingluo is only 15 years old, he is still so young..."

"It's okay, it's because everyone is in a desperate situation that we can't give up easily, can't we?" Jiang Zheng said, gently pressing Chang Sheng's shoulder to comfort her extremely bad mood at this moment , and said more firmly: "Anyway, no one will help us this time, we have to find a way by ourselves."

So far, it's up to me to figure it out.

Avoid the hunt, cross the heavy blockade, and leave this ghost place that has been ruled by the demons.

"There will be a way." Blind's calmness reassured everyone a lot. After all, in terms of age, the middle-aged Lagi was not as good as her.

At times like this, what Jiang Zheng was most afraid of was that someone would be overwhelmed by negative emotions. Seeing that everyone was still hopeful, she was relieved.She glanced at Baozi out of the corner of her eye, and saw him pressing his hand on his wound in a daze, his eyes wandering.

***

Taran City, early winter.

The continuous rain for several days finally weakened at this moment, with a bit of coolness, pattering.

In a hidden place where no one was supposed to be, Frange was tightly bound by Tafil's guards and knelt on the ground, his stubborn eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

A few meters away, a middle-aged mage in robes was lying on the ground, his chest was pierced by a long knife, his body trembling in pain, he stretched out his hand in despair, and tightly grasped the corner of the person holding the knife .

That person was Tafil, who was stared at by Frange. He was wearing a raincoat, standing upright, with a stern face, and the deep anger between his brows could not be concealed.

"Flange, you have been behind my back these days, what do you want to do?" Tafil asked, pulling out the long knife, and at the moment of blood splattering, he cut the man's throat, and let the gradually cold The blood smeared in the dirty water on the ground, and he only approached Frange step by step, and finally stood in front of him, condescending, with cold eyes.

Frange raised his head, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you angry? Do you really not know what I'm doing?"

For so many years, they have been called brothers in private and trust each other, but they did not expect to come to such a tense moment now.

Frange knew that Tafil had changed a long time ago, becoming too obvious, so obvious that it frightened him.But even so, he still couldn't imagine that one day he would face the anger from Tafil like a sinner under such circumstances.

"You read that letter." There was no surprise in Tafil's tone, and that's why he appeared here at this moment to stop Frange: "Frange, you always act like this without authorization." , can easily destroy my plan."

"What plan?" Flange tried to struggle, but he couldn't hold his own hands. He shouted angrily, "What plan is more important than saving His Royal Highness Changsheng? That's your sister! She's waiting for you Save her back! Do you know that she is very..."

Tafil interrupted Frange, and said coldly: "I have already sent someone to Eggert."

"His Royal Highness Changsheng, wait for us to open the teleportation array! If you want to pick her up, you can do it now!" As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Flange immediately tried to persuade Tafil, "Eggert is now wanted by the whole country, even if we send someone to pick her up, They will never let them go!"

"No." Tafil instantly extinguished all hope in his heart, and said silently: "Changsheng, she shouldn't have come back."

In the next second, as if he was afraid that Frange could not understand enough, he added: "She will die in Eggert, on the charge of impersonating Princess Ainota, murdering the former king of Eggert, and destroying the friendship between the two countries."

"You... what did you say?"

"My father loves Changsheng and Mingluo too much. No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with their status in my father's heart. As long as they are together, the future Talan will not take my place."

"You..." Frange couldn't stop shouting angrily: "Tafil! What's wrong with you! Why did you become like this! Are you crazy, or what's wrong with you! Tell me! You can't even trust me !"

Tafil didn't stop Frange, but just stood quietly and waited for a long time, until Frange's eyes were red, his throat was hoarse, he was too tired to struggle, and he stopped questioning him, then he calmed down. Open your mouth.

"Frange, I gave you your life. You once swore that no matter what I decide, you will follow me." Tafil said, squatting down to look at Frange, and said seriously: "Now, I said I want to compete with their siblings, will you follow me?"

Frange looked at Tafil in silence, looking at the one who rescued him from the dead, the one he respected the most in his life, the only person who was willing to give all his trust and even his life unconditionally.

It should be the most familiar person, but at this moment, it feels extremely strange.

He asked, "What will happen to you if I say no?"

"Kill you." Tafil said these three words very clearly.

Frange couldn't help laughing, until the rain choked him until he couldn't laugh out loud, and when his heart cooled down, he said in a hoarse voice: "Tafil, my trusted brother, my revered Highness... you How did you manage to smash all my expectations of you with such a calm tone?"

"I am a soldier, and I only know how to fight and defend my country. The people I want to follow must have the same loyalty as me. This cannot be changed in my life. Once some things are put down, it is no different from death. "Frange said, closing his eyes: "The oath of the past has not changed, you kill me, I will follow you as if you are dead."

Frange stopped talking, and Tafil slowly got up and put the knife on Frange's neck.

Apart from the sound of the rain, there was silence around him. He hadn't been able to swing the knife for a long time, and finally he just stunned him with the back of his hand, saying: "Take him back and put him in jail, and don't allow him to have any contact with outsiders."

"Yes!"
