"Since you have such a strange... ability, then let me fulfill your wish. After all, this is a race life and death battle. Stay here and make some contributions to the empire and to the compatriots behind you.
People of the Xie family are never afraid to shed blood for their compatriots."
The man with slightly frosty temples looked at the girl strangely, and finally sighed.
"No, father, I don't know the meaning of life and death, and I'm too lazy to think about it. I only know that I can't live without Xie Ning, and he's not dead. I really feel that he's not dead. I'm going to find him in the Far North Forest.
, he must be there."
The girl looked at the man, shook her head silently, and sounded a cold voice.
"Okay, although I don't know if you feel that way...but this world is too vast and mysterious, and there are many things I don't understand. Even you..."
The man laughed and shook his head. He looked at the girl in front of him lovingly: "I have summoned my retainers and ordered them to come to the far north at starry night to obey your orders. Although you have such magical abilities, you are still just a magician. It doesn't matter.
If you can protect yourself, they will protect you."
…
"Although the military has arranged heavy warnings for you, how can the mistress of the Xie family in the far north not have some retainers around her? It's better to use Shu Xin's retainers. Caiyun and the others are still women and can take care of you personally. What's the inconvenience?
Yes, you can also ask them to do it for you."
"You don't have to worry about the two children. Before I came, I told my grandma to take good care of them. They are both doing well now. The boy is a bit like his father. He is very strong and lively. He eats all day long. When he is hungry, he cries and eats.
Just go to bed. The little girl is much quieter. She doesn’t cry or fuss. She eats whatever she wants. She is very well-behaved and looks more like you."
A smile of warm memories appeared on his face, but he warned the girl in front of him earnestly.
"Father...are you not going to go back?" A slight wave appeared on the girl's cold and soft face that seemed to remain unchanged forever. There were expressions of guilt, longing, etc. on that wave. After thinking about it, she finally
But he asked.
…
"Well, I won't go back."
The man nodded.
"Although I am a cripple with a broken soul, and I am only a magician until now. But how can I, a descendant of heroes, just stay in the rear? Moreover, I am not worried about you on the front line, but Ning'er..."
As the man spoke, a trace of incomparable sadness appeared on his face. He thought for a while and then continued: "Anyway, I will stay here, Ti Ning -"
He suddenly stopped talking, his eyes widened!
At the same time, several panicked calls also sounded!
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Susu, hide now!" the man yelled with venomous eyes, and he suddenly rushed towards the girl in front of him——
~~~~~~~~~
"Ning'er... he must not be dead... he must not be dead! Right?"
The man was vomiting blood and looked at the cold girl who was crying beside him with difficulty. He asked intermittently.
Under his body, bright red blood was flowing all over the floor, and a cold knife tip penetrated his chest from behind.
"Well...Father. I really feel that he is not dead. I don't know why, but I really feel that he is not dead. He will not die!"
The girl held the man's hand tightly, her cold face was full of tears, and she choked with sobs.
"That's good...that's good..."
The man's pained face seemed to relax. There was even a hint of relief: "After all, you are... so I definitely believe what you said..."
He looked steadily at the girl in front of him, vomited out another mouthful of blood, but spoke with difficulty.
…
After a pause, he opened his mouth tremblingly: "Although Ning'er has forgiven me...but I have always had a problem in my heart..."
His eyes were distant, as if drifting into the distance, and then he looked at the girl desperately.
"If...you find Ning'er, sue...tell him...Although, when he was a child, I didn't protect him. But when he grew up, I finally...protected him, his child.
My mother...protected you..."
The man gasped rapidly, but said even more urgently: "Sue, tell him... father... I'm sorry for him, father... love... love..."
"he……"
When the last slight "he" word was uttered by the man with difficulty, he seemed to have fulfilled some wish and exhaled. He tilted his head and closed his eyes slightly.
Those eyes were never opened again.
He has passed away peacefully.
~~~~~~~~~
The girl choked softly and leaned in front of the cold tombstone. The past scenes passed by her eyes quietly like running water.
In the beginning, she had neither a good impression nor a bad feeling towards the man in front of her. After hearing about him, she didn't care about his ignorance at that time, and felt pity for Xie Ning.
Later, at the manor, the man was meticulous and cautious, just to hide some things from her, just so that the two children could grow up safely in her belly and be born safely. Only then did she understand that the name of a hero is the glory of the family.
, how important it is in this man's mind.
Gradually, in the girl's mind, he became kind and amiable.
Until that day a year ago, she knew that this man actually loved Xie Ning, as deeply as the sea.
However, I am burdened by my family name...
But now, this extremely kind, amiable and respectable father in her heart has turned into a few cold words on the tombstone - "The second generation head of the Xie family in the far north, the first-class heroic marquis who founded the empire, Xie Hezhi
tomb".
…
"Barbarians...hidden thorns..."
The girl stopped choking and gently raised her hand, stroking the bright handwriting on the tombstone with her long, pale fingers.
A few words came out of her mouth softly, with a biting chill.
The wind and snow were not very strong, but an extremely cold chill was quietly swirling around the girl's body.
"Young Madam, please stop kneeling. It's been all morning and there is a letter from home."
A soft voice interrupted everything.
"read."
The weird feeling of extreme cold seemed to disappear from the girl's side in an instant, leaving only the snowflakes that continued to fall leisurely and a cold voice.
"How about... you go back first and see for yourself?" The voice behind him hesitated for a moment, but said this.
"Read it to your father too." The girl's cold voice sounded again.
…
"Yes..." Caiyun wiped her tears and unfolded the letter in her hand.
"The old lady said that the young master and the young lady are both fine. They held a one-year-old hunting week a few months ago. The young master was grabbing the sword mark left by his father. The young lady also went to grab it when she saw it. The two little guys
They almost got into a fight. In the end, the two little guys spent the whole morning rolling around on the mat fighting over each other, which also made everyone laugh all morning."
"They have now begun to receive elemental enlightenment. Generally, children start at the age of three, but after discussion with the retainers and the consent of the old lady, they decided to start from the age of one. After all, the soul waves of the young master and the young lady
Both of them have exceeded 100 in initial condensation. They are the two people we found to be the highest after having the nascent soul wave detection technology, and their qualifications are unlimited."
"So, in the past few months, every day, the demon warrior retainers of different levels and different departments in the mansion have taken turns giving them elemental magic energy to stimulate the soul sea, so that their soul spirals can begin to feel what magic is.
able."
…
"The process is a bit painful for the soul, but the young master and the young lady are both strong. Master Zhao Shengbiao's child is three years old. He cries like crazy every time he receives elemental enlightenment. Usually, the young master cries the most. Every time he receives elemental enlightenment, he cries the most.
But he didn’t cry when he was enlightened. He still looked very curious.”
"The retainers say that he has completely inherited the powerful soul of the family master and is very adaptable to all elements, especially the ice and fire elements, so maybe the elemental enlightenment does not hurt his soul spiral too much. They said
He also said that it would be great if the young master grew up to have both ice and fire elements like the head of the family."
"The little lady seems to be very familiar with the magic energy of ice element. Every time she is enlightened with ice element, she not only does not feel pain, but also giggles comfortably. But other elements will cause her a little pain. It's just that
She will always be strong and hold back from crying, and tears will roll in her eyes without falling. Her little appearance is very endearing."
"Finally, the old lady said that when they grow up, they will definitely become geniuses like their father and mother."
…
Caiyun slowly finished reading a paragraph, but found that the girl never responded. She paused and continued to read.
"The lady said that she is receiving advanced studies at the Magic Energy Research Institute, and is also studying barbarian magic patterns. Recently, she and her mentor, Academician Yuan, have made considerable progress. Maybe in the near future, we humans can also unlock barbarian magic patterns.
The mystery of tattoos.”
"In that case, human beings' magic combat power will be increased overall. Maybe then the magic combat power will not be much weaker than that of the barbarians. If the complete magic patterns of the barbarians are captured on the front line, let you take a photo.
Mail it back to her for her research, it is best to have a physical object."
"The young lady said that she doesn't care about anything now. She just wants to research this and strengthen human combat power in order to avenge... her brother. She also said that she is practicing hard every day after studying, and she is already eight years old.
The super demon is fighting."
…
"It's over?"
There was another long silence before the girl's cold voice was heard softly.
"Yes, young lady." Caiyun said respectfully, and she had already folded the letter paper.
"Reply, mother, my husband is not dead. He will not die. I feel that he is not dead. I will find my husband."
The girl's kneeling figure remained motionless, but she spoke again.
"Also, Qi'er will continue to be enlightened in all elements, but Shuang'er only needs to be enlightened in the ice element. Don't worry about the others. She can only belong to the ice element."
"Ning'er, don't tire yourself too much. Take good care of yourself, and take good care of your mother. When your sister-in-law finds your brother, the family will be reunited."
"Susu, today."
…
The girl read slowly while Caiyun quickly wrote down something on the paper.
When the girl's words ended, Caiyun's pen also ended her strokes.
"Young Madam, there is a call from the headquarters, asking you to go back as soon as possible. Our guests have arrived."
A soft sound of footsteps brought another voice.
"I see."
The girl said softly again. She finally stood up. Perhaps because she had been kneeling for too long, she staggered suddenly, but she staggered back to steady herself.
She began to walk out slowly, and a group of people followed behind the girl.
Everyone was silent and gradually left the snowy cemetery. (To be continued...)
