Awakening of Rebirth
Chapter 79
It was late at night, and Nora, who was waiting in the front hall, was already fidgeting. Hearing the ordinary chirping of cicadas in the courtyard, she felt particularly disturbed.
Half a month ago, she received a request for help from the northern border of Knossus. It was a letter written by her brother himself. The handwriting was scrawled, and the lines revealed urgency. It was hard for her to imagine how tragic the sudden war was.
After the marriage between the two countries, there was no more war in the Southwest. At that time, the Demon God was resurrected. Mingluo wanted to go to the Far East to guard but was rejected, but was sent back to the Southwest. At the same time, Changsheng took away his military power.
Now that the demon god has destroyed Vodo and Eggert one after another, Knossus came to ask for help, but Mingluo has no right to send troops to support, and the request to Taran has been ignored, and there is no response. If she receives a letter of help from her Counting from that day to today, half a month has passed. People can be heard discussing the war between the demons and Knossus everywhere in Ainota. The demons are encroaching on the land of Knossus at a speed visible to the naked eye. , How does this make her not anxious?
Suddenly, there was a heavy knock on the courtyard door, and Nora hurriedly got up and stood under the eaves to look around.
Mingluo came back, but he was so preoccupied, even a little lost, that made Nora's heart full of anticipation sink.
"Mingluo?" She called out to her husband who was passing by, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, her stubborn gaze seemed to be seeking an answer.
Ming Luo never thought that he would break through such a cruel truth. No matter what he overheard, or what Chang Sheng and Jiang Zheng said to him, the impact on him was too violent. When he came back to his senses and looked at Nora, he remembered that he never mentioned the real purpose of his trip to Talan to Changsheng.
But... There seems to be no difference between mentioning and not mentioning.There was a deal between Changsheng and Heilong, and she would never agree to send troops to support Knossus.Thinking of this, Mingluo didn't know how to speak to appease Nora's anxiety.
"Nora, don't worry, I'll think of a way."
"A solution? We just hope to get support..." Nora frowned, grasping Mingluo firmly with both hands, and gritted her teeth: "She is your sister, I am your wife, my country is in trouble, she wants to see death Can't help it?"
"I need a little time, can you take it easy?"
"I haven't begged you for half a year, have I?" Nora's tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction, "Only this time, this is a war! Every minute and every second, people are sacrificed. The northern front line may collapse at any time, and the plea letter was sent to the southwest from there for at least seven days, and now it has been half a month since I came and went. I trust you so much that I even followed you to Taran, but you told me that you Still need time? How much time? One month? Two months? Or a year or so..."
"Nora!" Mingluo couldn't help frowning, "Can you trust me, don't make trouble like this! Go to sleep now, I will find a way!"
"Do you want to be louder than anyone else!" Nora yelled back, threw away Mingluo's arm vigorously, and asked, "What happened to the king? He didn't want to take in the refugees from Eggert, but now he even wants to accept Keno Is Sas too lazy to extend a helping hand? Is it a problem to preserve strength at this time? After all, he was the commander of the rebel army at the time. Don’t you even understand the truth of death? If we are really defeated, what will happen to her? What good?"
"Mingluo! I always thought you were a capable man. So many people in the Southwest Army respected you, and now everyone is dissatisfied with what the Queen has done. As long as you give an order, the Southwest Army will definitely follow you I am married to you, our two countries have a good relationship, Knossus just wants to support it, and it doesn’t want you to oppose it, why must you stick to one royal decree?”
"Where did your courage go when you broke into our army alone? Could it be that it was spent in the peaceful and comfortable life of the past half a year? I'm so disappointed in you, why are you like this... you don't Have an idea with your sister? Are you taking revenge on me, Minglu? You wish Knossus fell, I have no use value, and then you can throw me away, right?"
"enough!"
This angry shout scared Nora to silence for an instant.
Ming Luo's tired and angry gaze contained a cold impatience, which made her lose the courage to continue speaking.
She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down the thousands of grievances in her heart, and she couldn't help turning red: "If the queen doesn't want to support Knossus, I will go back by myself."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting." Nora said, ran back to the bedroom, and locked the door.
Mingluo followed closely behind, but was shut outside the door. He stretched out his hand and pushed twice, but failed to push it away. He felt a headache for a while: "What do you mean?"
"I married you, and you were supposed to be the only man I could rely on for the rest of my life, but now my family and country are in trouble, and you can only be caught between me and my relatives... During these days of waiting, I couldn't stop I was thinking, if my position in my heart could be a little heavier, would you be more brave for me?"
"Don't think so, I really need some time... This matter is more complicated than you imagined. My sister has her own difficulties, and there is still room for maneuver. Ten days, within ten days, if she still does not agree, I will take If you go back to the southwest, I will immediately raise troops against her wishes..."
"Actually, you've never had me in your heart, have you?" Nora interrupted Mingluo's words, "Since that's the case, staying by your side is no different to you than dying on the battlefield of my homeland." With her back against the door lock, she finished speaking quietly, staring blankly at the unlit dark room with tear-dimmed eyes, and fell into a long silence with the people outside the door amidst the heartache.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ming Luo's figure wandering outside the house for a while, and finally turned and left, she couldn't help but fell to the ground, sobbing softly.
Mingluo didn't refute what she said, not a word.
Ever since she was a child, her brother has let her do everything. Whatever she wants, no matter how rare or expensive, whether it is bought or robbed, he will give it to her. She is used to the feeling of being held in the palm of her hand, so she also thinks that There is nothing in the world that she wants but cannot have.
Nicole always wanted to find a good home for her, but she didn't like anyone, so she said to Nicole: "If I want to marry, it must be to marry a very great person. He must have power." Status, appearance, conduct, courage and resourcefulness are all equal to my elder brother, otherwise I will never marry anyone in my life."
"You just don't want to marry, I know, I don't want to urge you."
Yes, she never thought of getting married, because once married, she would no longer be able to rely on her brother's side, but in this world, who can be better than her brother?
She thought that she would never find such a person in her life, but there was a Mingluo in this world, an enemy prince who was three years younger than her.
From the very beginning, she was full of curiosity about that man.Because it was such a person who led a party at a young age, and blocked her brother's attack time and time again outside the walls of the Nasili fortress.People in the barracks would often talk about this enemy commander, and every time they passed by and heard about it, she would think that this Mingluo might be as extraordinary a person as her brother.
This curiosity gradually turned into an inexplicable affection. Although she was in a different camp, she couldn't help but want to know more about him.
Finally one day, she saw him standing alone at the foot of the city, leading a horse, with a tall and straight figure, and firm eyes, clearly life and death were in the hands of others, but he didn't show a trace of timidity, how could it not be yearning for him?
At that time, she didn't think much about it, she just told Nicole that this man was different and she liked it very much.
She knew that as long as it was something she liked, her brother would definitely give it to her without exception, so she finally got a marriage contract as she wished.At that time, she only felt that she had got another gift she wanted, and she didn't know that people were different from those inanimate objects. This marriage was her wishful thinking from the very beginning, and what she got was not what she really wanted.
Nora never denied that Mingluo really treated her very well, just like her brother who used to control everything, he could always deliver what she wanted to her eyes, always followed her temperament, and never treated her badly. She said something serious.He did everything a good husband should do, so much so that she almost forgot the reluctance in his eyes when he signed the marriage contract that day.
Thinking about it carefully, every time Mingluo treats her well, it seems to be performing official duties, seemingly serious, but actually perfunctory.
Finally, she slowly discovered that the man who slept with her every day had never loved her.His eyes, only when he looked at the subordinate named Mo Ni, would there be more tenderness.
She is a woman. The husband she forced has already had someone else in her heart. She once married with joy and thought that she was the happiest woman in the world, but in the end, she found that she was just a meddler in other people's feelings , If you say you don't care, it must be false.
In the past, she would just say what she liked, because she knew that her brother would give him anything.Now what she wants, she no longer dares to say it out loud, she only dares to hope that the yearning in her eyes can be understood by the wise man, and that the wish she wants when chatting with the servants can quietly reach his ears, because She was afraid that Mingluo would gradually regard her as a burden because of her willful demands again and again.
But she just couldn't get back her pride and dignity, and she never thought of getting rid of his concerns in the past six months, all she wanted was to maintain this status quo, stay by his side, even if the love was humble, even if the pain was ridiculous... …
It's just that the thing she was afraid of finally happened. No matter how carefully she maintained it, she couldn't maintain a sense of security in this wrong marriage... Now, if she really left, would Mingluo go to find her?
She didn't know the answer to this question, and she was afraid of knowing.
***
Ming Luo sat alone in the temporarily packed guest room, looked at the dancing candles in front of him, pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to undo the seal that had protected him for many years.
He could feel a power that he had never touched before revived in his body, powerful and turbulent, circulating in his blood.
Other than that, there was nothing else he was worried about.
Jiang Zheng was right, the dragon race was not inherently evil, and the black dragon was only driven into despair, which allowed the hatred deep in its heart to grow and turn into a powerful demon.
The power of the phoenix clashes with the devil's energy, and it cannot heal the wounds of the devil. She has proved this point on Mogg.Changsheng is a dragon and not a demon, so she has been able to accept her healing power before, but I don't know when, Changsheng's body began to reject the power of the phoenix. Because of this, Jiang Zheng concluded that Changsheng would change. It should be corroded by the black dragon's demon energy to become what he is now. Under this premise, every decision made by Chang Sheng may have been hinted by the black dragon subconsciously.
The human heart is extremely fragile, and it is extremely easy to be deceived. Once a person loses himself, he can no longer control what he thinks.
Just like Changsheng today, it seems that every decision she makes has her own ideas and standpoints, but in fact it is the hint given to her by the black dragon - "You are a dragon, a descendant of the demon god, you don't need to be kind, selfish and cruel to be It is in your nature that sacrifices are necessary only to better protect what is truly worth protecting."
Such hints made Chang Sheng indulge in the illusion that he was "born to belong to the darkness", constantly deceiving and torturing the self who still had a little bit of kindness...
—— Such a Changsheng is not happy, and it is impossible to be happy.
——Then what can I do?
——She does not allow me to leave this room, but I must go to Vodo, as long as I can leave Taran, leave the rest to me, you go to support Knossus, and you must not let Anota fall into Alone and helpless.
——Corvodo no longer exists.
——I don't believe that Qianye Liusha is someone who will easily admit defeat. There is no news of her death from Wodo. Now even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I have to give it a try. Only in this way can the former Changsheng come back.
——Okay, then don't irritate my sister again recently, I will find a way for you.
After leaving from Jiang Zheng, he thought about it, and finally went to the Cloud Tower, and told Lagi everything he knew. Lagi was not surprised by this. He said that the wind chime had reminded him, There is an external force in Changsheng's body. Although Changsheng can suppress it, it may not last for a long time.Since Changsheng came back from Wo Duosheng's transformation last time, his whole heart and disposition have changed. He already had doubts, but he was rejected many times when he asked for a meeting, let alone the possibility of meeting Jiang Zheng, so he had to let it go in the end.
Lackey said that it is not an easy task to send Jiang Zheng away from Talan under the nose of Changsheng. One is to have a reliable person in the right place to respond, and the other is to arrange a plan in advance that can avoid Changsheng. It will take about half a month for the teleportation array of the eyes to be ready. At that time, as long as the black flame stone is sent to Jiang Zheng, the teleportation array can be activated with her as the center point.
Although Knossus is defeated, Ainota will completely become the possession of the demons, and whether to take it or not is only a matter of the black dragon's thought. No matter what agreement Changsheng has with the black dragon, he will not allow his people to live under such threat.
It is important to lead troops to support Knossus, but the demon clan led by the demon god is so powerful that this war may be protracted. He promised Jiang Zheng to help her leave Talan. Whether to get out of the shadow given to her by the black dragon, must not be delayed by anything else.
If Nora is angry and insists on going back to Knossus, let Linley follow her to protect her first.Anyway, it was useless to worry about it, but Nicole knew how to take care of Nora better than him, and would never let her suffer any harm... Whether it was going back, they both needed to calm down.
Half a month ago, she received a request for help from the northern border of Knossus. It was a letter written by her brother himself. The handwriting was scrawled, and the lines revealed urgency. It was hard for her to imagine how tragic the sudden war was.
