Chapter 563 A new journey (forty-four)

"The only ones left are the elven troops led by the elven elder Linosia and the surviving soldiers.

Now they are all desperately blocking the demon army in the south of Kalei City, covering our escape to Dream Forest, that's all.

But what if we escape there?..."

The old man continued to talk a lot, but at this moment Alma could no longer listen to even a single word.

She sat down in the corner and stared blankly at the dark sky outside the car, her mind in chaos.

"No way, Edward, Ellie, everyone is dead.

Impossible..." Alma grabbed her hair hard, her eyes full of despair and fear.

"No, there is absolutely no way Edward and the others will die.

I must go and confirm." Alma thought of this, suddenly stood up, and jumped out of the carriage, completely ignoring the surprised looks of others.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible.

It’s all fake, it’s all fake.” On the muddy mountain road, Alma seemed to be running like crazy in the direction of Carlei.

Although her physical strength was close to its limit, she still refused to stop and rest even for a short while, as if the world would be destroyed if she stopped.

Suddenly, Alma felt something tripped under her feet.

Her physical strength was already close to the limit. She didn't have time to react, so she fell heavily. Due to the inertia, her whole body almost slid three or four meters away in the mud.

"Woo, okay, it hurts." At this moment, Alma felt the severe pain as if her whole body was falling apart. Although she quickly stood up again, she no longer had the strength to run, so she could only

He held on to the surrounding trees and slowly moved his feet in the heavy rain.

I don't know how long it took, but just when Alma felt that she was about to faint, she suddenly noticed a dim light coming from the distant woods.

This light immediately gave Alma the motivation to move again, and she used all her strength to walk in the direction of the light.

After passing through a small forest, a small house appeared in front of her.

"Yes, is there anyone?" Alma knocked on the door with her last strength, and then finally passed out.

After a long time, Alma felt that she had strength in her body.

She struggled to open her eyes, and then she realized that she was lying on a simple wooden bed.

Everything around looks very simple but very neat. I think the owner of the room should clean it frequently.

"Oh? Are you awake?" At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Alma saw a middle-aged man wearing a black coat walking in.

He was also holding a plate in his hand, probably prepared for himself.

"Thank you." The man's voice was gentle, which made Alma feel very comfortable, so she immediately tried to force out a smile and replied.

"Eat something, your body looks very weak." The man said and placed the plate in his hand on the coffee table next to Alma. On it were two pieces of bread and a portion of milk.

"Thank you." Alma said a little embarrassedly, then grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. She did feel a little hungry.

Seeing Alma eating, the man just smiled and glanced at her without saying anything else.

", By the way." After devouring a piece of bread, Alma suddenly remembered something, "Sir, why don't you leave here? The demons are not far from here now."

"Oh, you're talking about this?" The man smiled slightly and replied, "Because I still have unfinished business.

Okay, you should rest first.

I’ll see you again tomorrow.”

As the man spoke, he turned and left the room, leaving behind Alma who looked confused.

Perhaps due to being too tired, Alma fell into a deep sleep without having time to think about anything else.

When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

After eating the breakfast that the man had prepared for her, Alma walked out of the room.

In fact, she was still a little curious at this time, wondering what important matters the man had not completed and why he was left alone in such a dangerous place.

But the strange thing is that Alma went through all the rooms in the house and found no trace of the man.

In doubt, she opened the door and walked outside, intending to take a look outside.

And when she turned to the back of the house, she saw the man at a glance.

I saw him sitting on a ladder, holding a paintbrush and a drawing board, and drawing something on the wall one stroke at a time with concentration.

"Oh? You're awake.

You're resting well." Before Alma could speak, the man turned his head and said to her with a smile.

"Oh, ah.

Rested well.

Thank you so much." It may be that Alma was a little overwhelmed by the man's sudden words, and her words seemed to stutter.

But Alma soon returned to normal. She took a closer look at the colorful paintings on the wall, and then hesitated for a while before continuing to ask, "Excuse me, sir.

Did you say that this painting is what you said must be completed?"

"Yes, you are right.

My goal now is to complete this work." The man said, turning back and focusing his attention again on the brush in his hand.

"But, why? Now the demon army is almost here.

Is there any point in completing this now? This world will be destroyed?" Seeing the man's calm look, Alma finally couldn't help but express her doubts.

"Hahaha, are you saying the world will be destroyed?" The man couldn't help but laugh a few times after hearing Alma's words. Then he stopped the paintbrush in his hand, pointed at the sun in the sky and said, "Did you see that? That sun.

"

"The sun?" Alma was a little confused by the man's words, but she still couldn't help but follow the man's brush and look towards the sky.

"That's right, the sun.

No matter how the world becomes, the sun will always continue to rise from the horizon.

Likewise, no matter what happens to us, even if all the humans in this world die, the world will not be destroyed.

It will soon give birth to new life and new hope."

"New hope..." Alma repeated the man's last words in a low voice, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Remember, the sun will always rise on the horizon. It will bring light and heat to the world, and it will also bring hope." Fuzzy, Alma seemed to hear such words from the man in her mind, and then she

He actually fell asleep leaning against a big tree.

When Alma opened her eyes again, she found that she was still sleeping beside the tree behind the house, but the man had disappeared.

Just when she was about to look for traces of the man, she suddenly discovered that the painting on the wall had been completed.

It was a painting depicting a mountain forest. In the picture, the sun was gradually rising from the ground. The golden sunlight instantly filled the entire mountain forest, turning everything into a golden color.

In a daze, Alma even mistakenly thought that what was in front of her was not a painting but a real sunrise. She had never seen a beautiful sunrise scene.

Just when Alma was intoxicated, she suddenly felt the scenery in front of her suddenly blur, and then a pungent smell of blood and the sound of killing were heard in her ears.

She looked around and saw that she had appeared on the battlefield at some point.

Countless humans and elves around are fighting with a larger number of monsters.

"Ah!" At this moment, a scream came into Alma's ears.

This sound shocked Elma, and then she raised her head tremblingly and looked in that direction. She saw a monster more than three meters tall standing there, with his tail like a steel whip,

A familiar figure caught Alma's eyes.

Almost as soon as she saw the person's appearance clearly, Alma felt a sense of fear spread throughout her body. She tried to escape but found that her feet were completely out of control and she was just trembling.

That figure was none other than the elf elder Li Nosia.

I saw that her face at this moment had lost its previous look, and only a look of despair remained in her lifeless eyes.

At this time, the monster yelled and suddenly looked in her direction.

And this time, Alma's already panicked heart became even more chaotic.

"If you can't do it, you will definitely die.

Even someone as strong as Li Nosia is no match for it.

I will definitely die.

I was torn to pieces by it in an instant." Alma was trembling and retreating back, but it was obvious that the monster had no intention of letting her go.

It couldn't help but use its huge paws to rub the ground, looking like it was ready to go.

"Ouch!" Maybe it was a little impatient, the monster raised its head and shouted, then it jumped towards Alma like lightning.

And the sickle-like tail behind it stabbed Alma in the chest immediately.

"The sun will always rise on the horizon. It will bring light and heat to the world, and it will also bring hope." For some reason, just when Alma was about to give up her resistance and wait for death, the man's words suddenly struck her.

I keep thinking about it in my ears.
