A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

Perhaps, it is precisely because he will not die no matter how seriously injured he is, so every "serious injury" is equivalent to a "new life" relived.

There is also the relationship that it will take years or even longer to fall asleep after receiving a near-death injury. In short, when he falls asleep and wakes up again, not only does the world he sees become different , Even if you are still yourself, you have to be silent for a while to be sure.

There is only one fact, which will not change from beginning to end.

He keeps getting stronger.

Every part of the body, every trace of flesh and blood is responding to the original desire from the soul.So, every time he wakes up, he will be stronger than before, and stronger.

In the beginning, it took all the blood from the body to hurt God.

Later, the range that can be frozen expanded from a narrow area to an entire mountain, and even the entire ocean.

After sinking in the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, when he was finally able to see the light of day again, he discovered without any surprise that he had one more ability.

"Not only space, but also time can be crossed... But, what's the use of me going back to the past? It doesn't make sense at all."

At first, I was a little excited, but after I realized it, I suddenly felt dull.

First of all, the time that this ability can be touched is so short, and he can't go back to the point in time that he most wants to go back to - Enkidu's death, which he still broods on.

Secondly, if he really wants to use it, the price he needs to pay is too high, so that he only thinks about it for a second before giving up.

So be it.

If you think about it carefully, there are no regrets.He has come all the way here, and he has no intention of turning back.

so--

Eddie has the clearest goal now, and the gods who have made him so miserable have to be put in the back row.

He is looking for the ideal land where goblins live in the legend, and the name seems to be Avalon.Go there, and find a way to prolong Lucas' life.

Lucas had lived long enough for an eagle, much longer than the first Lucas.

It seemed to have a bit of the blood of a divine beast, plus the blood that Eddie fed to it from time to time, which made the current Lucas last for more than a hundred years.

No, still no.

There is indeed a selfishness in it that he doesn't intend to find an excuse to cover up, but, whether it will be annoying because of this selfishness or not, Eddie still wants Lucas to live longer.

Because he was so lonely.

Seriously speaking, Lucas is the life that has accompanied him the longest. Watching it play around him, from a little eagle cub to a soaring eagle, if he loses this rare excitement, he will definitely Quite unaccustomed.

What's more, when he saw Lucas, he would think of the days in Egypt and the few people he met in Egypt from time to time.

It's not that it's so sad, but I just think that it's probably not bad if I can occasionally think of those things that did happen in the past as a comfort.

Avalon, the kingdom of elves that exists in rumors, is an island shrouded in fog, forests and swamps, and the forest is guarded by nine powerful fairy queens to prevent outsiders from entering.

Many humans have tried to find Avalon, but without exception, without success.No one is sure whether Avalon, which is believed to be in the Paradise of Paradise in the other world, actually exists.

Eddie knew the answer.

Because, in fact, he had actually found the entrance to Avalon Island - but before he could go in, he was stopped by the guardian.

If it was really necessary to break in by brute force, Eddie would have no problem.

But... Although he has indeed done simple and rude things, he is not the kind of person who wants to break into other people's houses without reason.The most important thing is that he still needs others.

Thus, the man who had never bowed his head to anyone, including God, bowed deeply to the elves guarding the island for the first time, his tone slowed down, and his voice was even more sincere.

"Please tell me how to make it an elf."

If there is any price to exchange, as long as he has it, he is willing to take it out.

The attitude of the elves towards him is also intriguing.

At first it was shock, and then they gathered together and whispered.

Finally, the fairy queen who came to Eddie looked at him with rather strange eyes, and said after a while: "As an outsider, you, who are essentially immortal, are not qualified to enter the afterlife and the land behind you. "

"..."

"However, this cute little guy can, it has the potential to become an elf."

"Lucas, can you?"

"Yes." The fairy queen said: "It can be baptized in the Fairy Lake and become our partner. However, it must stay forever and cannot go outside again."

This answer is beyond Eddie's imagination, and, in essence, has already violated the purpose of his coming here.

The price of obtaining a near-immortal life is to stay in the ideal land isolated from the world forever, so it is impossible for Lucas to accompany him all the way.

No, the crux of the problem is more than that.

After a while, the man who was deep in thought slowly said: "I have done too much for my own selfishness."

Lucas, whose lifespan was about to reach its limit, was frozen by him and fell into a deep sleep temporarily. He planned to wake him up after finding a fundamental solution.

"It wants to be with me, so it is willing to accept it. Immortality has a strong attraction for most living things, which seems to be a good thing, but I don't think so. I don't know what Lucas thinks .”

He said again: "If it desires, that's fine. I want to follow its thoughts, even if it will die after unblocking the ice, so all the preparations have failed, and I can't change anyone's life at will."

Perhaps it is precisely because his life is too long that there are concerns that many people think are meaningless.

Who wouldn't want to live forever.

Who doesn't want their existence to survive deeper and longer.

However, this man didn't want to, and even felt that his eagle was fooled by him, and would refuse the chance to extend his life on the premise that he would die of old age in the next second.

Seeing that the men were about to undo the ice with their faces, and asked the eagle's opinion, the fairy queen, surrounded by fairies, said abruptly:

"Actually, there is another way to accommodate - as long as you can complete it, we will not hinder you again."

The fairy queen's solution was to let them bring Lucas, who could become an elf, into Avalon, and the man went to find a special messenger who could lead him in voluntarily.

As long as he can walk into Avalon in this way, and the newborn elves are willing to leave with him, then the fairies will not stop him.

"...A messenger? Where can I find it? Do you have any hints?"

"Ah, I can't say any more. I can only tell you that if you go in the direction you want, you will definitely meet him."

Regarding this mysterious guidance, Eddie was speechless for a while, then put down the little thoughts in his mind, and rekindled his fighting spirit.

What is "the direction you want", isn't it just to pick a random direction with your eyes closed?

Coming out of Avalon Island, where he couldn't even step through the main entrance, Eddie walked straight forward without stopping.

This is actually another aimless trip, but during the trip, because he said that he would definitely meet the messenger anyway, his mentality was quite relaxed, and he really turned looking for someone into a journey along the way.

Before that, in order to find Avalon, he didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery on the road, and he didn't stop too much between cities.This time was just right, and he could walk around in peace.

That's it.

I don't know how long I walked, and where I went. Anyway, in the past few days, Eddie stopped in a small town whose name he hadn't paid attention to at all.

Originally, he only planned to stay for one day before leaving, but he accidentally discovered the signature fruit wine of a certain tavern. Although the taste was a bit weak, it somehow suited his taste.

For several days in a row, he came here to drink.

He came over shortly after the tavern opened after nightfall, and then sat in a corner drinking his wine silently, too lazy to talk to anyone, and didn't want to be disturbed.

——As a result, he was disturbed.

It was still when he was drunk and wanted to be quiet when he was interrupted by a blind bastard in the most irritating way.

Even if it didn't take long to clean up that guy thoroughly, Eddie's rare good mood has almost been lost.

He is not interested in wasting time here anymore, and the next day, he is ready to leave for the next unknown location...

Well, in the end, the accident happened again.

However, it was slightly better than the previous "accident".

When the next day dawned, the sun began to shine on the earth, and a more lively atmosphere than usual covered the entire town.

It seems that the townspeople have agreed to celebrate the harvest on this day, so preparations were made early in the morning.

As soon as Eddie stepped onto the street, he was surrounded by an exceptionally crowded crowd of people coming and going.

Of course, no matter how crowded it is, it won't affect him.

Half a meter around him seemed to be surrounded by a transparent barrier, no matter how many people were in a hurry, they would involuntarily stay half a meter away from him.It's as if if you step into a dangerous area, something terrible and terrible will happen.

It stands to reason so.

Eddie walked about half a street unimpeded, but unexpectedly, his pace slowed down suddenly.

"Why is it blocked... oh."

Relying on his height advantage, he didn't need to work hard to see the culprit not far ahead, causing the congestion.

The scene is very clear: the righteous man chased the thief—knocked the thief down with his unsheathed sword—the thief fell, and accidentally knocked over the shelf of the stall that happened to be placed nearby.

In an instant, there was a crash, and the fragile wooden frame fell down, accompanied by the thief's painful wailing.

When Eddie looked up, the howling thief had been dragged up by the guards who arrived in time, and escorted away from left to right.Those who stay in place, that is, the center of the encirclement, are only the "righteous men" mentioned earlier.

Unexpectedly, it was a thin, thin, blond girl who looked to be in her teens at most.

This was the main reason why Eddie hadn't looked away after taking a few glances.

The little girl is so petite, and her appearance is also extraordinarily sweet, but her temperament is a combination of the unique youthfulness and purity of a girl and the fortitude and integrity of a knight.

She was wearing a pure white skirt covered with silver armor, and the sword in her hand hadn't had time to hang back on her waist—yes, she probably forgot.

Because she was in a hurry right now, and said something in a panic to the stall owner who was accidentally injured by herself and whose booth was overturned and destroyed, her face was full of apology.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I just wanted to stop the thief, but I didn't notice that your booth is right next to you. Don't worry, I'm willing to compensate—bad! Teacher Merlin took all the money, I..."

Originally, I thought I could use money to make up for the unexpected loss of the stall owner, but suddenly found that I was penniless. Under the influence of a huge psychological gap, the energetic girl was a little at a loss and couldn't help feeling depressed.

After falling for a second.

"Ah, I can fix the shelf for you, and if there's anything else I can do, just ask!"

She was such an innocent girl, her pure white heart seemed to have no shadow left, she was depressed and recovered faster, and she thought of another solution in such a short while.

However, she didn't notice that the face of the stall owner who was suddenly hit by this accident was covered with gloom from the beginning.

"No need, little girl... At first, I just tried again with the idea of ​​trying it out for the last time, and failed in advance. The result is no different from what I expected. My bread will definitely not be sold."

"Hey, why do you say that?"

After the excitement was gone, the crowd of onlookers dispersed again, so that few people noticed the conversation between the middle-aged stall owner and the little girl.

The stall owner, that is, the owner of the bakery behind him, told the little girl with deep exhaustion that his bakery has been in business for more than ten years, and the business was booming at first, but recently, fewer and fewer customers came to the door , has reached the point where it is about to close.

"My family has always used the ancestral recipe. Logically speaking, there should be no problem with the taste. However, my children said that they are tired of eating bread with this taste. Now that they are tired, no one likes it anymore... Better not do it again!"

After hearing this, the little girl opened her eyes wide, seemingly surprised for a while.

The stall owner told her this, and he didn't expect the young girl to be of any help to him. He sighed and wanted to go back.But he didn't want to, the little girl who was silent for a moment suddenly grabbed him and said loudly: "Who says no one likes it! Impossible."

"Bread made with enthusiasm and heart, it is impossible for no one to like it! In this case..."

She turned around suddenly, and under the surprised gaze of the stall owner, she took a few steps and came to a passerby who happened to pass by here.

"Excuse me, would you like to buy a piece of bread? It is absolutely delicious, bread that makes you feel happy after just one bite!"

The passer-by who was targeted just because he glanced this way a few more times: "..."

No, he wasn't interested in bread at all, he was only interested in the sword this little girl was holding in her hand——

Wait a minute, this routine of being approached to touch porcelain without saying a word or doing anything while walking on the road, has it happened too many times!

Eddie: "...I don't like bread."

The little girl was very disappointed: "Hey, don't you really like it?"

Eddie: "I don't like it. I'm not interested in any food that doesn't go with alcohol."

Little girl: "Bread cannot be eaten with wine. I have never drank wine, so I don't know at all... Anyway, maybe the bread made by this gentleman, which is full of happiness, can just be eaten with wine?"

Eddie: "..."

"Okay." He said perfunctorily: "Assuming it can really serve wine - buy a piece and try it. Okay, are you satisfied?"

I didn't get a reply, because a certain little girl had happily gone to show the results to the stall owner whose jaw almost fell off. Eddie gave the money, but hadn't gotten the bread yet.

Forget it, he is really not interested in bread, and he will leave immediately.

Pointy ears, no way.

Eddie found out that the innocent little girl's plan to carry out this method of attracting passers-by to sell was really——

It's stupid. It's home.

"I say."

The stall owner, who just hadn't forgotten that one of the breads had been sold, approached him cautiously, bringing his fair share of goods.Eddie frowned and took a bite, paused for half a second, and decided to say something more because the taste of the bread could barely be considered "delicious".

"If you really want to help, can't you use your brain and come up with some attractive tricks?"

"Even if the taste is really good, after a long time, if you don't add some new ideas, don't understand what people really want now, and stick to the old routine without improving, no matter how good it is, it will disappear completely."

Oh, more than one sentence, I accidentally added another sentence.But forget it, he doesn't have the mind to meddle in other people's business.

Eddie held the bread with only one bite, with a calm expression, and planned to leave again.

Swah——

His cloak was pulled.

"...Wow! That's what I mean. I felt this way just now, but I don't know how to express it. Thank you, big brother!"

The little girl waited humbly: "Then, what new ideas do you need?"

Eddie: "..."

Depend on.

It was really touched again.

*****

Such is the source of the sudden arm-wrestling match.

Omitting unimportant details, the blond-haired young knight helped the store sell more than 100 pieces of bread through her super strong wrist strength that did not match her appearance.

As far as the result is concerned, she is satisfied, the owner is awakened, and everyone is happy.

……

"No, everyone is happy, at least I suddenly saw that face that I don't want to recall, and now I am very unhappy."

"Oh, really."

"..."

Ever since I was born, I have never had the nightmare of "retreating" in my heart, and it was the first time I almost took the step of retreating.

impossible.

Absolutely—impossible.

Merlin's smile, which was equivalent to a mask, was too much to hang on.

It must be stated that he was not afraid.

Nightmare has no human feelings, so, because the memories of last night suddenly came to his mind, they were so vivid that he didn't miss any details... And then, he suddenly became angry!

This is the truth of what the nightmare is trying to cover up.

late at night.

Out of most of the inquiring heart and some inexplicable heartbeats, Merlin drank wine for several hours with the man who was always sitting in the corner.

He doesn't like alcohol, and he hardly drinks it, which is something that has been mentioned before.

Therefore, he also realized for the first time that the "wine" made by humans really has a strong effect of ignoring the atmosphere and amplifying inner desires.

To describe it in more formal terms, that is...

The nightmare who underestimated one of the greatest inventions in human history was unexpectedly drunk in a place other than dreams.

Alcohol misleads people.

The beauty that is close at hand is even more misleading.

The white-haired magician took off his hood, with a vague smile on his lips.

He picked up the wine glass, as if he wanted to clink glasses with the man, but when he was about to meet, he didn't have the obstructing glass in his hand.

"Hey, it looks so sweet."

The tip of his index finger lifted the man's gracefully curved jaw, from the lightly raised eyebrows and eyes, there was an ambiguity full of alcohol.

"Can I have a taste?"

The man's golden eyes turned and seemed to be full of interest - he glanced at him lightly.

"Are you sure you want to tell me this?"

Before answering, Merlin hadn't noticed too obvious a sense of crisis, so he smiled and gently rubbed his fingertips under the man's jaw.

"I haven't actually tried the feeling of being with the same sex, but if it's you, I still want to try it."

"That's it."

Merlin was about to speak, but he was suddenly alert.

When he came back to his senses, the sound of the wine glass hitting the ground came to his ears. His face was full of horror, and he was dragged to him by the man in an instant, and pressed him on the table.

To be precise, he was pushed down mercilessly by the man, and hit the back of his head hard.

Shocked, stunned, outraged, and then——

Huge, big, crisis, opportunity, sense.

The silver hair that had attracted him before, now followed the man's bent figure, and quietly fell down, touching his chest.

The shadow of the man's upper body covered him tightly, and Merlin had a clear understanding: even if he used illusion, he could not escape from this man's confinement.

Watching helplessly, the man's face was getting closer and closer to him, and the golden eyes, so bright that people couldn't look away, also locked on him.

Soon, their breaths were intertwined at the nose.

Merlin couldn't say anything for a while, his whole body was tense, and his heart was already in his throat.

……

Suddenly, the man spoke, and the warm breath sprinkled on Merlin's stiff face.

"With that look on your face, what are you expecting?"

Afterwards, the man let go of him indifferently, with only mockery in his eyes, without any nostalgia.

"I'm not interested in your type. Fuck off."

"........."

As if his heart was full of enthusiasm being doused in bitingly cold icy water, Merlin's expression changed again in an instant.

After that delicate mood had cooled, another flame was kindled.

"You are mistaken."

He smiled and said, "It's okay if you're not interested in me. I want to fuck you, so as long as I'm interested in you, that's fine."

well.

Just because this sentence is probably a stupid sentence that was dazzled by anger.

Sure enough, he couldn't escape with illusion.

The magician Merlin who hit the iron plate the first time he flirted with a man was really beaten badly that night.
