The red night sky is tearing apart, and furious lightning continues to spread through it, illuminating the whole earth from time to time. The rain of blood mixed with fishy smell connects between Heaven and Earth like a red bead chain.
Above the empty wilderness, two riders are marching in the rain. They were tall and dressed in wide cloaks. The blood rain had already wet the cloak and wrapped them tightly around their bodies. Their bodies were even more mighty and majestic, while the two riders under their crotches looked even thinner because of their wet hair.
"It seems that we won't be home before the end of the world." A rider tightened his hood and said helplessly.
A flash of lightning dashed through the air, reflecting his sharp face. It was the face of a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a firm gaze, a bushy beard, A long scar ran across the left eye.
"No, fortunately in this barren mountain, we are not lonely, we are really dead in this brief moment, we are not solitary soul, unbound ghost." Another The rider jokingly said.
His voice is slightly younger, and he can't see his appearance under his tight hood. He looks more fit and taller than his companions.
"Solitary soul, unbound ghost? Who wins and who loses is not necessarily true! I bet that the prince will win! He will save the world, do you want to bet with me, 50 Golden Dragons." Senior rider The author said openly.
"You old ghost is really cunning. If the prince can get rid of Evil God, the gambling money will naturally fall into your hands. If the prince fails, there will be Golden Dragon on Yellow Springs Road. Fart?" The young Knight said dissatisfiedly, "I wouldn't make such a stupid bet with you!"
"Then we can only pray for the manifestations of the gods, after this damn blood rain, we will pay Fate to gamble and play dice." The old rider said with a big smile.
"Bless the gods! Even if we are heinous bastards." The young Knight said mockingly.
Unconsciously, the two riders came along the muddy path to a small hill, and the horses under the hips got up for some reason, and started to spin around on the spot.
"What's wrong!" The young rider tried hard to drive his mount, but it didn't seem to work anyway.
"I don't know...Is it...Look! Look over there!"
The young rider looked forward in the direction pointed by his companion's whip, and saw the distance. In the wilderness, the ruins of a small city stood there, like a silent black giant, silently gazing ahead.
"Why...why...we should have bypassed it, why is it here." The young rider was a little incoherent. He pulled down his hood and showed a panicked face." Is this the will of the gods? The world will punish us for our mistakes before the end!"
"Shut up! Karat! What nonsense you little bastard! We are on the wrong path!" The older rider cursed, and he took out a buckskin map from his waist to verify the route he had traveled before.
"Luan uncle, if it were not the will of the gods, why did we come here." The young rider wanted to explain.
"Put away your mouthful gods! He will not be with us. If you are really good men and believers, you won't be our kind of murder and arson camp. Gods are dead! Follow this The damn world died together at the end!" The older rider said, "It looks like we are going to spend the night here tonight."
After that, the older rider took his mount and rode fiercely. A whip. The horse neighed and stood up, rushing like a panic, and rushing along the dirt road towards the ruins.
"You shouldn't curse the gods..."
The young rider said, and drove the mount to follow like a companion.
The ruins of the town in front of me became clearer. The dilapidated city wall, the shattered church, the streets full of rubble, and the collapsed houses hurt the heart of the old rider.
Aruna, once a small city with three thousand inhabitants, was slaughtered overnight, and the creator of the whole incident was a notorious mercenary called the "Blood Black Group" Organization, it used to be active in various battlefields throughout the continent, self-seeking, and unstoppable killing.
The older rider Luan and the young rider Karat were once members of the "Blood Crow Group". With the end of the world approaching, the mercenary organization also lost its value of existence and was banned by continent countries. It was finally disbanded after the bizarre death of the last head of the regiment "Bloodhand" Andrews.
"Remember what happened back then?" Luan asked Karat, who was beside him.
"I remember not quite clear, I just remember the last fire, and the fearful screams of women and children... I did nothing at that time, I was just a mercenary on standby. Only rations to adults to pass information, to replace weapons and armors."
"Really..." Luan's memory of the city's extinction became more and more vague. He seemed intentionally unwilling to think about it, even Deliberately forget this memory.
The creatures who fell in front of him on the battlefield, every face, no matter it was calm or distorted, he remembered all of them with a kind of peace. Only the faces of the old people, women and children became so fuzzy.
Wars, disasters, the rights games of those few people, and the ultimate sufferers are always these irrelevant people.
Luan was thinking of this, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a bright white in front of him. It was a ghost-like figure, passing through the ruins, as if it never existed.
"uncle! That's..." Karat cry out in surprise, which made Luan, who has always had an extraordinary vision, determined that he was right.
At the same time, the two horses started neighing in horror again, intentionally turning their heads and retreating. The two horses were exquisite riding skills, and they couldn't help feeling that the horses were already uncontrollable.
"What's wrong with these children! Something frightens them like this!" Karat also looked terrified.
"They are well-trained war horses, they can be calm in the rain with the sword sword Mountain Sword, could it be..."
Before Luan's voice fell, there was a burst not far away. Screams furiously, as if from hell.
The horses are really frightened, no matter how high the rider's equestrian skills are, they can't comfort them. Karat fell off his horse, twisting himself on the ground in pain.
Luan hurriedly got off the horse and went to see it. Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound and it didn't matter.
The horse that broke free from the owner's restraint ran wildly towards the wasteland outside the city through this stall.
"Damn it, when can we go home without the horse, my leg..." Karat said dejectedly like a puffed ball.
"Your legs are okay. Rest and rest will be good." Luan comforted, he looked around, this piece of ruins and debris could not find a place to shelter from the rain. The blood-red sky is even more weird and terrifying here.
The terrifying screams reappeared, and the two of them couldn't help but tighten, and they all raised their throats.
"Uncle! What is that..."
Luan tried to calm his mind and listened attentively. Although the voice was miserable, it seemed to be farther and farther away from them.
"I don't know, it seems to be some kind of monster. This is an uninhabited place. They don't like it. Why are they here." Luan thought, "No, there is weirdness here, I I have to go and see it."
"But...you hear the voice farther and farther, it shouldn't be directed at us, why should we take this risk." Youngster stopped.
"Just go and see, Karat, you find a place to take shelter from the rain, I'll be back in a while."
After that, Luan moved towards the ruins of the town. .
Along the way, he looked at the surrounding situation from time to time. This was once a prosperous town, and every step he took, he seemed to be able to recall the tragedy of the previous slaughter.
In that city slaughter battle, he killed two men. It was in a hand-to-hand battle. They were inferior to humans, but they died heroically; he also killed a woman, and that woman was in him. He rushed out when he killed a certain man, biting his arm like crazy. He couldn't remember the scene at that time. He even tried to think that it was just a manslaughter. The woman was already pregnant. He vaguely remembered that there was a bloody little hand exposed outside the woman's belly in the ruptured belly. Perhaps all this is a confusion of memory. It was another bastard who did it. He just killed the man holding the weapon...
The rubble under his feet creaked, Luan's thoughts returned to his eyes. The hellish scream was close in front of him, seemingly behind the long wall that was still intact in front of him.
And a white light flickering, also appeared there.
Curiosity drove Luan to forget his fear, and he strode forward.
He crossed the long wall and saw that under the white light, there was a woman, a woman with a dazzling white light. She seemed to be exhausted, leaning against a pile of rubble, that look pale It was scary, and the bloody lips were confiscated. Perhaps all this in front of her is just a reflection of the white light, and the source of the white light is the gem necklace the size of a pigeon egg on her white neck.
And around the woman, a group of disgusting and inhuman monsters are baring fangs and brandishing claws. They want to attack at any time, but are frightened by the white light, but they dare not move forward. There was a terrible roar.
At this moment, these monsters are twisting their necks, and their face looks sinister to Luan.
The servant of bloodfiend! The evil race in the underground cave! Why do they appear here! Luan didn't feel uneasy in his heart, and the shining woman also puzzled him.
"Madam...are you okay! I will protect you!" Luan didn't know where the courage came out, letting himself blurted out like this boasted shamelessly, knowing that the demons in hell are brutal Extremely.
"You go! Strangers, it's none of your business here." The luminous woman whispered, her tone elegant and graceful, but also mixed with traces of desolation.
The demons faced Luan contorts one's face in agony, but they didn't seem to want to attack. For some reason, these cruel demons gave up the opportunity to attack humans.
"Never!" Luan pulled out the long sword from his waist and moved to the Luminous Woman. "I once committed an unforgivable crime here, and saving you today may be my lifetime. The last redemption!"
"Thank you...stranger," the luminous woman's blue eyes were filled with excitement tears, "I will sing the war song of War God to bless you."
The demons seem to be even more furious, and they roar more frantically than waves. Finally they picked up the sharp claw and rushed towards Luan like crazy.
Luan just listened to the high-pitched and ancient war songs echoing in his ears, an inexplicable divine force poured into every cell of his body from the soles of his feet, making him excited. The long sword in his hand was lighter than before. It's a bit.
"Go back to hell! Demon!"
Luan loudly roared, arrows collide between the demons like a group of demons, and a sword splits a devil from the top of the head into two Half, the smelly red blood sprayed into the air like a fountain.
The other demons were not afraid of the tragic death of their companions. They continued to besie Luan like crazy.
For a time, the sound of metal collision, the shouts of humans and monsters shook the world.
But it all returned to peace in the end, and the ruins fell into dead silence again.
When Karat came here with his injured leg, the horror in front of him couldn't help turning pale in fright.
The rain of blood washed the corpses all over the floor, and it was hard to tell which was the rain and which was the blood flowing from the corpse. And a tall and familiar figure was half kneeling motionless in the middle of the corpse, the inseparable long sword supported the tall body, and the blade was deeply pierced in the mud. The cloak behind him has been torn into rags, dancing in the wind and rain, and the tall body is motionless.
"uncle! old ghost! Are you dead?"
Karat's heart is like a knife, he feels sore in his throat, and tears are about to come out. He ran towards Luan like crazy.
When he ran to hold Luan's hand, he realized that the palm was still warm.
"It hurts... It hurts..." Luan's originally still body trembled a few times, and a smile squeezed from the corner of his mouth, "The gods are not ready for hell to accept me..."
"You this bastard! Damn old fogey! It made me worry about you in vain, and that is also the case. We have gone through that many battles. When you are not a miraculous survivor, you are really dead."
p>
"Is it really fate? Or is it a fate..." Luan whispered silently. He thought of the previous woman, the young woman with white light, but at this moment he could no longer feel the presence of that dazzling white light. The sky is still crimson, so red.
"Where's the lady... the woman with white light before, she would sing the ancient war hymn, otherwise I would have become a good meal for the devils...Where is she?"
"What madam? There is only you here! And those corpses." Karat was puzzled, he looked up, and there was not a trace of vitality in Cang Yi.
"No, it's her... it hurts... it hurts..."
Luan wanted to stand up, but the pain from the wounds all over his body made him unable to move, and in the end he still endured it. Stand up with great pain.
"She passed away, she has already left." Luan muttered to himself, "I don't know her name yet."
"She may be the solitary in this city Soul, unbound ghost!" Karat said.
"If this is the case, it would be fine. At least I have saved a woman in this city. Even if it is a ghost, I can feel a little at ease before going to hell." Luan laughed at himself, but he firmly believed in that woman. Not a ghost, but a real woman, and where did she go at the moment?
"I've seen all around here, there is no place to rest, damn it! Those two horses can't be found back alive, so how can they be on their way." Karat said.
"Let's go! Take one step closer to home! If we don't go, we may really die in this deserted city."
"But your body, suffer With such a serious injury..."
"Let's go! My child, you won't realize my current mood."
"What's your mood?"
"Go home."
Luan tone barely fell, the earth began to tremble violently, and the remaining ruins and walls fell one after another.
I saw in the far west, a huge beam of light rushed from the ground to the sky, shining the earth like daylight.
The gradually beam of light became thinner and thinner, and finally disappeared into the sky. The earth stopped shaking, and the blood rain stopped suddenly. The red sky turned to change color, and the dark blue in the sky was dotted with dots of stars. The full moon will sprinkle the silver white all over the earth.
The two have been standing in the same place for a long time, and time seems to have ceased to exist.
Until the baby's bursts of crying broke all the peace.
"What happened just now, is the end of the world really here?" Karatmumu said.
"No, it's over. The end of the world has not come. We have won. Bless the gods! Prince Florian saved us!" Luan was also a little dull at the moment.
"Listen! Old ghost, who is crying, a child, a very small child."
The image of the woman with white light reappeared in Luan's Heart.
"This must be her child. I told you before, the woman. She must be in the vicinity. We will find her if we look for the child's cry." Luan was excited at the moment. stand up.
So the two slowly moved forward in the ruins, looking for the crying, until they came to a low wall, and they found a baby in a swaddle.
It's a boy. His smile is so sweet that people love him at first glance.
"This child is so beautiful. At first glance, you can't give birth to a cheap embryo." Karat clumsily picked up the child, "What should I do next! It seems that you are right. If you have a baby, you must There is a woman, where did she go? Should we take the child to find her, or put the child down, don't disturb other people's children."
The gemstone necklace that used to shine with white light is now holding In Luan's hands, he repeatedly checked the ornaments in front of him, and a line of ancient text flickering that he had never seen appeared on the surface of the gem.
Luan glanced at Karat. Youngster's attention was on the child at the moment. He didn't seem to care about the ornaments in Luan's hand, so Luan quietly took the ornaments into his arms.
"Let's take the child and go!" Luan said.
"Are you kidding? We two big men take a child?" Karat was surprised by Luan's behavior.
"The child's mother may not come back, she should want to entrust the child to us."
"You...how do you know!"
"from now on, he is my son." Luan endured the pain and took the child from Karat, and looked at the weak life before him with tenderness.
"Your son? Will Luoya promise you to adopt it?"
"Luoya is a good woman, she will, but I don't know if she is dead or alive. And our son, Luma, should be a strong young man now! He now has a younger brother again, yes! Younger brother, Linde, yes! Just call Linde!"
