At the end of the conversation, Edjo asked him blankly, what should they do at the end of this journey? What can they do for him?
Lu Mingfei told them calmly that they could do whatever they wanted to do without any worries or do anything for him, they could just follow their hearts.
Full of sadness, the four of them set out on their way home.
In their hearts, they more or less wanted to stay with His Majesty to make up for their past mistakes, but in the end no one raised their voice. They turned around and left in silence, their steps heavy and slow.
At the end of the ramp, they all turned around and looked at the man, who was familiar yet unfamiliar to them at the moment, standing there waving and watching them go.
At that moment, the four of them were in a trance.
It was as if they were the children who had been taken care of for a long time. Today they officially bid farewell to their brother's side and walked towards their own lives alone.
Lu Mingfei, who had seen off the four people, held Eli Yi's hand and walked under the dusk in a foreign country, their figures casting long slanting shadows on the slope.
"What's for dinner?" Lu Mingfei secretly glanced at his wife's belly.
"I'm full." Eriki touched her round belly, narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, and asked doubtfully, "Sakura, won't you treat everyone to dinner before saying goodbye?"
"Well, someone made an appointment tonight." Lu Mingfei shrugged, "I'm going to go find a guy tonight to catch up on old times and have some fun, otherwise I probably won't have a chance."
Eriki's eyes widened slightly: "Is it Narusawa?"
"Eri Yi is very perceptive, but it's a pity that it's not Narusawa. That guy probably won't come to see me before the end." Lu Mingfei said with a warm smile, "What I want to see is the other me.
Sorry, I can't introduce him to you at the moment."
Eriki nodded confusedly. The other self sounded very mysterious, but she vaguely heard Xiaoya mention it.
"Is the other Mingfei always hiding in Mingfei's body?"
"Well, that's right." Lu Mingfei thought for a while and added, "We are one, but there are also some differences. If I insist on saying so, let's think of him as my twin brother."
"Can I see him?" Eriyi blinked.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then his mind sank. He seemed to be asking someone for his opinion, then scratched his head and said:
"This guy said that he can take care of his wife by himself. He has been very busy recently and can't spare time."
Eriyi felt a little regretful, but she didn't force it.
"Is Narusawa busy lately?"
"Well, I'm busy saving the world."
"I remember hearing Xiaoya say that Xiaoya wanted to cooperate with Sakura to save the world. Did the partner become Narusawa halfway through?"
"Well, that's right." Lu Mingfei said seriously, "Stay away from that bad woman in the future. That woman has many evil intentions. Don't be led astray."
Eriyi said seriously: "Xiaoya is not a bad person."
Lu Mingfei thought that the species of his daughter-in-law's best friend was indeed extremely threatening and could not be hardened. He had to figure it out slowly...
The roar of thunder could be heard in the distance, and large clouds gathered from the sea, slowly advancing towards the mainland.
Eliyi held up her cell phone and waved it in front of Lu Mingfei's eyes.
There are various exclamation mark titles on the screen, all of which are about "The Myth Comes to the World", and most of the accompanying pictures are buildings made of bronze.
"Sakura, look! It seems that many relics from the prehistoric era have suddenly appeared all over the world." Eriki was a little excited, with stars in her eyes, and suggested, "Shall we go and take a look?"
Lu Mingfei took the phone, looked at the pictures and news on it, and told her with a smile:
"These are the remnants of the dragon civilization. After the dragon era ended, they were all buried in the Nibelung roots."
"Did Sakura live in the bronze palace in the picture before?" Eriki asked curiously.
"It's not the one in the picture, but it's a similar bronze temple. It was built for me by everyone."
"Sakura and Narusawa live together?"
"I lived alone most of the time. Narusawa was very playful at that time, and I didn't want to let certain secrets be exposed, so I lived alone in that temple most of the time."
"Are you lonely?" Eriyi's little face said "I can totally understand", and she seemed to feel the same way.
Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Actually, I sometimes admire Hui Liyi. The house where Hui Liyi lived when she was a child didn't even have windows, and she couldn't have contact with the outside. How did she persevere?
?”
This girl with a high status in the Sheqi family has lived in seclusion since she was a child. Her room does not even have windows, so even the rise and fall of birds on telephone poles are so interesting to her, even the irritating heavy rain
In her eyes, it was as vivid as a picture scroll.
Of course she could empathize with Lu Mingfei, because she had also been locked up in a small house, longing for the distant sky.
"Actually, I have tried to cheat many times." Eriyi said a little embarrassed, "Because I don't want to cause trouble to everyone. I can't fully control my abilities. I hurt many people when I was a child. I don't like everyone to be afraid.
I look at me like I’m a monster, and I don’t want innocent people to get hurt, but sometimes I still want to sneak out and take a look..."
Lu Mingfei reached out and pinched Eliyi's face, and said seriously: "Eiliyi is very gentle, and this idea is somewhat similar to that of me back then. Sure enough, we were destined to be together. My situation back then
She is somewhat similar to Eriki, in that she was trapped in a room alone for some reason."
"Did Sakura solve the problem?" Eriki said seriously, "With Sakura's help, I won't accidentally hurt anyone anymore. Does Sakura need my help?"
Lu Mingfei grinned and said: "No need, because we have already solved it, and we have found the key to breaking the situation."
Eriki didn't ask what it was, but gave him a gentle hug.
Lu Mingfei held Hui Liyi's slender waist and whispered in her ear with a smile: "Are you ready? We are about to set off?"
Eriki's face was shocked, but she found that her field of vision suddenly widened, and she was carried high into the sky by the man behind him who released pale dragon wings.
The sound of breaking wind lingered in his ears. Lu Mingfei did not use Mingzhao this time. Instead, he unscrupulously exposed his identity and joined hands with Hui Liyi to reach the sea of clouds.
The dusk sun dyed the sea of clouds into a gorgeous orange-red color, spreading out along their line of sight like a burning sea of fire.
For no apparent reason, Lu Mingfei recalled a certain little devil whispering seriously in his ear, saying that their fire would ignite the whole world.
Hui Liyi saw Lu Mingfei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
The same sacred and pale dragon wings stretched out behind the girl. She said seriously: "Sakura isn't worried about being discovered by others?"
"Eri has been trying to hide herself, right? Because we are born different, which is why we gather at Kassel Academy. Many people say that the essence of Bloodmourne is loneliness, but sometimes I feel that simply
We haven't met the right person yet, friends, lovers, relatives... everything is good."
The man standing tall in the sky stretched out his hand to invite the girl and said sincerely,
"Eriyi, have you ever thought about such a day? We can fly under this vast sky to our heart's content, without caring about anyone's sight, and without trying to hide our identity everywhere, we can just enjoy true freedom."
At that moment, the girl's eyes were shining, as if they could penetrate the bustling worldly beings at her feet, and she seemed to be deeply attracted by the picture it depicted. It was a scene that everyone yearned for, but Eri Uesugi still shook his head slowly,
Seriously:
"There is always a gap between ideals and reality. Strength determines the level at which we stand. We cannot only care about our own freedom, because this often deprives others of their freedom. We are different from ordinary people, so we are destined to endure more
, this is what Sakura really thinks, right? Otherwise, why would Sakura let herself be trapped in a room alone?"
Lu Mingfei's smile grew stronger. He raised his head slightly and looked directly at the sun that was gradually setting in the west.
Eri Yi's confession not long ago once again surrounded his ears.
The girl in front of her has never received the education of an ordinary girl. She has been educated as the head of the third family of the Eight Sheqi Family since she was a child, and the Eight Sheqi Family is the emperor in the shadow of Japan, so she speaks out and does not want innocent people to suffer.
Injured, to her, most ordinary people are considered citizens.
This is very similar to what they used to be.
As a king, you should protect all the people under your throne.
But Lu Mingfei still held Hui Liyi's hand, the dragon wings vibrated, and flew away along the sea of clouds, facing the wind blowing in his face and said loudly:
"It's okay! These days are not only the last freedom we can give them, but also the great freedom we give ourselves!"
The strong wind blew their faces, and Eriki took a deep breath. She seemed to understand everything, and she seemed to simply trust the boy holding her hand. She did not resist and allowed him to hold her hand.
Ends of the world.
They held hands, with pale dragon wings fluttering behind them. Sometimes they flew close to the upper layer of the sea of clouds, as if they were running on the sea of clouds. Sometimes they penetrated the clouds and looked at the cities in different time zones below, which had entered late at night, and the golden light composed of car lights.
The river meanders, and the main road with lights running through the city stretches towards the mountains or the sea...
They flew over the sea, over mountains, over cities under night and day, and were exposed to the surveillance systems of countless countries. In the end, they almost circled the earth and stopped on a bronze pillar deep in the ocean.
The surface of the bronze pillar is printed with dense patterns, rooted in the seabed and towering into the sea of clouds, just like the legendary Tower of Babel.
And from the moment he saw this bronze pillar and felt the alchemical patterns imprinted on its surface, Lu Mingfei knew that Frisis had really prepared a lot in those years.
They retracted their dragon wings and sat on the edge of the top of the bronze pillar.
There are many reconnaissance planes surrounding the bronze pillar, taking pictures, trying to record its entire scene. At the same time, there are giant dragons with only dark gold skeletons flying around the bronze pillar, driving away all reconnaissance planes trying to approach, such as guarding the portal.
of guards.
It looked up to the highest point, and the fire ignited by its incomplete spiritual consciousness suddenly ignited. It roared silently, its dragon wings scattered the clouds in the sky, and rushed towards the king's palace at extremely high speed.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand and gently stroked the dragon's head, "Grius, long time no see."
The soul fire in the dragon's eyes was jumping, and illusory tears seemed to be rolling down. It slowly opened and closed its mouth. It had something to say, but it had long lost the ability to express complete sentences.
"I can guess what you are going to say, it's okay." Lu Mingfei chuckled and patted it, "This is my lover and my future wife, let's get to know each other."
The giant dragon slowly turned its head and moved its nose slightly, as if it wanted to remember the woman's breath.
It carefully and gently rubbed its head against Lu Mingfei, stupidly expressing its attachment and dependence like a puppy. It couldn't make a sound. If it could still make a sound, then it must be completely different from its huge body at this moment.
Inconsistent low-pitched warnings.
But this is the reality. In front of the supreme King of Heaven, all dragons can only be regarded as children.
In those years, they proudly and joyfully showed their respect and loyalty to His Majesty, and were satisfied that they had finally grown up to be able to take care of His Majesty. However, the man on the throne just let it go, so almost no one knew that they were really being taken care of.
It is always the subjects under the throne who are taken care of.
The invisible realm spreads, extending with the bronze pillar at its feet as the center, expelling all uninvited guests in the realm, leaving only the joy of reunion.
The giant dragon slowly lay down behind the two of them, curled up, closed its eyes and fell asleep for a long time, like a child who fell asleep next to his brother after being tired from playing.
Dusk had fallen in the city where Lu Mingfei was previously, but here the morning light had just risen in the distance.
He also closed his eyes and fell into sleep.
The girl next to him reached out and gently pressed his head on her shoulder. She sat alone on a bronze pillar and looked at the sunrise on the sea.
As Lu Mingfei fell asleep, he once again stepped into the rushing river. He trudged upstream along the river, reached the end of the river, and once again pushed open the heavy bronze door.
The sun was still shining in my face, and at the end of the sound of wind chimes, someone stood in front of the throne, looking up at the dome.
Lu Mingfei walked slowly towards the hall, came to the throne of God, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the man.
The temple beneath his feet collapsed and disintegrated piece by piece at this moment, revealing the black void behind.
When all the temples collapsed, they walked side by side in the dark space. The sound of wind chimes in their ears was no longer heard, only the sound of footsteps in the darkness.
No one of them spoke, they just walked towards the unknown depths until a little light appeared in front of them.
They walked towards the dim light in the distance. The light became brighter and brighter. As they got closer, they discovered that it was a portal.
Stopping in front of the door, the man beside him suddenly said: "Did you guess it?"
Lu Mingfei chuckled and said, "I once thought I would become Shirou Emiya, but I didn't expect that we would be Gilgamesh."
The man laughed silently.
Just as a certain woman still cannot understand——
Why, as the supreme monarch, would he sacrifice his own great freedom and would rather imprison himself in the temple to fulfill the small freedom of all the people?
The reason is actually simple and pure from beginning to end——
