North Journey

Chapter 109 Why the Eight Barrens

Memory can be deceiving.For Stuart, who has never reflected on his own mistakes, he has long forgotten how many excessive things he did to Lolta. At that time, Lolta, who had just lost his parents and was still young, once again How close to his senior brother, and always have goodwill towards him after being deceived again and again.

In the memories that have been washed and tampered with by time, Stuart's memories of the period of youth that he can't forget are only Lolta's eternal innocence and Alex Amelia's blatant partiality.

Perhaps being born as a human being really has an instinct.

Even in Stewart's impression, Lorta will always be the one who was born with everything, but in a sense, the initial life experiences of the two of them are actually very similar.Even, Stewart is far luckier than Lolta.

It is also the loss of parents. Although Stuart's parents died in the attack of alien beasts, it is painful for the children, but for their village, which was built on the mountain and had to rely on hunting alien beasts to make a living, this kind of ending is not a bad ending. I have already prepared my fate in my heart.What's more, even though those relatives in the village who are more or less blood related to Stuart are unwilling to have another burden in the family, the simplicity and sense of clan in their bones will never make them look at a child Starved to death.Spiritually, he can't take care of too much, but materially, Stewart has never been in short supply.

This family gave food, and the other family secretly stuffed some meat when they had a lot of harvest, and watched Stuart as a child and blamed the poor mother-in-law to help him sew a new dress.

There may be various vices in backward villages, but good intentions and malice are often straightforward.Every family is poor, and I don't want to raise another child for nothing.But no one knows whether their family will encounter such a disaster one day, so they will not really let the child who grew up watching them die in a corner they don't know.

But after Lolta Gabriel lost her parents in ignorance, what she encountered was not such a simple and easy thing for a child to understand.

Anthony Gabriel is certainly not an ordinary person who can still be dubbed the "Sage of Radiance" in the era when the Holy King Alex Amelia almost took away the sight of all human beings.

Just like the title "Sage of Radiance" bestowed on him by people, whether it is his golden long hair, blue eyes, or his face with a bright smile forever, his solid and reliable body, people seem to see the sun The Son of God set foot on the earth to dispel the darkness that has shrouded human beings for a long time.

Everyone who saw Anthony Gabriel in person would draw from him an inexplicable strength that made them always believe that the future must be bright no matter how difficult the situation they were in.

In the battle against those alien beasts or demons, this saint, who was supposed to sit behind and command and dispatch like other leaders of the human race, never made people feel at ease.Even if he was assigned the task of commanding the human legion, he would always find an opportunity to leave everything to his deputy, and then rush forward to the forefront of the battlefield with the epee he snatched from the dragon.And for those fighters who risked their lives to fight for the living space of the human race, even if the battle paused for a while, they would always joke about the glorious holy man who was grabbed by his collar and yelled at by Mr. Mark who was following the holy man because of running around. However, on the battlefield of narrow escapes, when seeing that figure that seems to never fall down, there will always be a sense of stability.

Even Saint King Alex Amelia once said in public that if human beings really need a spiritual leader, maybe Anthony Gabriel would be more suitable than him. Eternal existence of light.

However, after human beings have completely dominated the continent, and some human beings have internal fighting spirit due to the receding of external threats, whether it is Anthony Gabriel's straightforward and righteous character, or his role as the Holy King Alec The identity of Si Amelia's best friend makes him a target too easily.

Anthony Gabriel did die with the "evil" dragon in order to protect humans, but the dragon, which has long since stopped interacting with humans, did not attack human towns on a whim.Rather than saying that this is the giant dragon that dominates the sky and lives on the island coveting the mainland, it is better to say that this is a test for Alex Amelia by some people.

In the eyes of those people, the glorious saint who is admired by countless humans is just a simple and easy-to-use pawn.

This is why Mrs. Gabriel, who was supposed to take care of Lolta at home, also died under the "attack" of the dragon.

Lolta Gabriel, who was only five years old at the time, watched his mother stand in front of him, blood splattered all over his body.And when Alex Amelia arrived, what he saw was that Lorta, who was covered in his mother's blood, opened his eyes as blue as the clear sky like his father's, and knelt on the ground in a daze , staring blankly at the man who held him in his arms a few days ago, and the man he called "Uncle" pulled out the red-stained long sword from his mother's body and stabbed at his young body.

Alex Amelia, who broke out in anger, would have almost razed that place to the ground if he hadn't been concerned about the residential buildings not far away.

And the leader who was originally elected to resist alien races and fight for the living space of human beings has gradually become the real ruler of the human race in this peaceful world. The fall and the sudden change of the terrain are all pushed to the attack of the giant dragon, and the demons are still watching, the human race should put stability first and force Alex Amelia to keep silent about everything .

Can Alex Amelia, the Holy King, tell everything?OK.With his reputation, there may not be fewer believers.But after that?Use force to deter all the upper echelons of the human race, or allow the human race to fall apart, defeating the good situation that was so hard to occupy?

What's more, Alex Amelia really has no proof that all this was planned by those people.

As early as the beginning of the rise of the human race, Alex Amelia anticipated some problems that might exist in the future, so before the power rule of the human race was formed, he had invited a group of wise men to jointly formulate a plan for all mankind. prevailing law.

This was an incredible thing at the beginning, even Alex Amelia, who led mankind to gain power and was revered as the holy king, did not go very smoothly when implementing the code.

However, after a long period of time, human beings gradually realized the effectiveness of the code.They no longer have to worry about being robbed by people when they go out with food, and they don't have to worry about only a few or two rice for the exotic meat they hunted so hard.Although the human society has not yet reached the state of not picking up things on the road and not closing the house at night, compared with the initial chaos, there is indeed a peaceful and peaceful social atmosphere.

As the original advocate of the implementation of the Code, Alex Amelia has never liked to let personal will override the Code.

The dragon attack was real, and about Mrs. Gabriel's murderer—all clues point to the scapegoats.He has no evidence to prove that someone conspired to murder the Radiant Saint and his family.

This is probably why I will never be as contagious as Anthony.

In the end, Alex Amelia chose to take Lorta Gabriel back to his residence, declaring to the outside world that he was accepted as his closed disciple, and he didn't mention the dragon attack, thinking in his heart While thinking about the future of the human race, he was also worried about the psychology and growth of little Lolta.

But Lorta was tougher than he thought, or more like his father than he thought.

Even after experiencing such a thing, Lolta still has the heart of a child.

Not without sadness, nor without hate.In countless late nights, Alex Amelia stood outside Lolta's house, feeling his silent sobbing, until he fell asleep from crying tired.

But when he faced Alex Amelia and Stuart the next day, he always smiled, and his blue eyes could not see a trace of haze.

At a later date, Alex Amelia once asked Lorta Gabriel about it.At that time, Lolta stared at his teacher with those still clear green eyes, and then said in a low voice embarrassedly: "My mother said, don't bring your negative emotions to others. People who love you You should always be happy in front of you."

When people see the pure white and see the beauty, some people will give admiration, or take off their hats to pay tribute, or bow sincerely; while some people can't help but dye the pure white black and defile the beauty, Trample it under your feet and soil it with dirt to prove that everything in this world is evil and ugly.

When people see darkness and danger, some people will find a ray of goodwill and brilliance in it, but some people can't wait to drag everyone else in and roll around fiercely for a few times.

Lolta is the former, Stewart is the latter.

This is also why, when Alex Amelia learned the terrible news and made another crazy decision, he chose to sever his relationship with Stuart to avoid him being implicated by himself, And left him an absolutely safe retreat, but agreed to Lolta's request and kept him by his side.
