The tool man is being targeted by the hero [Quick time travel]

Chapter 68 Extra Story: A World Without You (4)

On the Federal Memorial Day, all the galaxies in the Federation dimmed their lights, lowered their flags at half-staff, and observed a moment of silence.

This is already the tenth anniversary of the Federation's victory in the counterattack against the Empire's energy resources. The greatest and youngest Marshal of the Federation, known as the "Rose Lion" Luther Stuart, resigned as Marshal on the public memorial day today. post.

All the people were not too surprised, because the Marshal announced ten years ago that he would lead the Federation to victory and revival, and then resigned from the position of Marshal, and went to the universe to find his lost lover in the war.

In the martyr's cemetery on the main planet of the Federation, a huge stele recorded the soldiers who died in that war. People who came to mourn in silence offered flowers one after another, and left in silence and orderly. It was not until dusk that a figure appeared in front of the stele.

Putting a white rose under the stone tablet, the blond man raised his mechanical left hand as if paying tribute to an old friend, nodded naturally, and then turned to the cemetery next to the cemetery. An unnamed grave.

Although the tomb has no signature, no photos, and only an epitaph, there are many flowers in front of the tombstone, and it is also very clean. There are traces of trampling on the nearby ground, which shows that people often come here to visit the long-sleeping master.

The blond man has a pair of sapphire-like eyes. He usually looks majestic and indifferent like a superior, but at this time it is as soft as a blue lake.

He gazed tenderly at the epitaph, which was a sentence he wrote with his own hand ten years ago: Hero of the Federation, Angel who saves the dying and heals the wounded, Mr. Treasure.

"It's been ten years..." Luther Stuart sighed and smiled, the sadness in his eyes seemed to have been diluted by time, "The federation has changed a lot, and the empire will never fight back when it is huddled in its garrison. The Federation has become the master of the interstellar again, but for me, nothing has changed."

This is still a federation without you, a world without you.

Luther sat casually by the tombstone, lost in memory: "But as your lover, yes, your irrefutable lover, I have already written your name on the account book, next to my name—I What I want to tell you is that I'm going on an interstellar trip."

This is what he once imagined. When Wen was still there, he kept imagining what their life would be like after the Federation peace in the future.

Both of them should be able to enjoy changes and be stable, so they should settle on a relatively remote planet for a period of time, no longer a marshal and a medical soldier, just an ordinary couple, leading a peaceful life.

Luther thought that he could be an instructor in the military camp, or a coach at the mech training base. Wen should be a doctor, or a teacher. He has a bit of a habit of preaching, and sometimes he can even convince himself.

Without the fetters of descendants, the two rely on each other. After staying in Xanadu for a long time, they will go to interstellar travel. Maybe they can run into that strange wormhole, enter the black mine planet, and grab some black mines by the way.

Luther has always wanted to teach the queen rat who threatened Wen a lesson. This is his lover, and no one can threaten and use the former marshal "Madame"!

You can also go to the border of the Federation, to the prison planet where they met again, and now it has become a base for the transformation and upgrading of mechs, where the "Lion Eagle" is a guard. Like a friend of Luther's.

One of the friends who can recall Wen with him.

Not many people could think of Wen. Luther didn't want to expose his treasure, so he didn't announce Wen's true identity. He used an unknown hero to refer to Wen during the raid on the outpost.

Wen belonged to him alone, and he didn't want anyone to talk about him, and he couldn't find Wen's relatives these years, so let Wen's family think he was still alive.

After scanning the fallen leaves on Wen's tombstone, Luther patted his trouser legs and stood up. He was about to leave. He would come back to see this tomb every year, but now he wanted to go to the universe to find the memory of Wen.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind in the silent cemetery, and the wind brought the footsteps of several people coming. Luther was not surprised at all, and looked up at the Angus family and the tall Aite who came forward.

Aite walked at the end silently, and there seemed to be a strange little girl behind him. The girl talked to Aite, but stood aside and did not approach.

Angus and the others usually choose to come after Luther and Wen have communicated. Today they thought that Luther would leave soon, and maybe Wen's tomb would be their farewell.

"Kevin, look at your uncle." Catherine in a black dress patted her son's shoulder and winked at Luther. "See if his eyes are red?"

Kevin tugged on his mother's sleeve in embarrassment. He had always had a headache getting out of his uncontrolled mother.

Angus nodded to Luther: "Marshal... Oh no, Luther, are you leaving?"

Luther smiled calmly: "Yes, the spaceship at six o'clock in the evening, I think dinner should be settled there, of course, if you don't mind me having a meal of Casey's dark cuisine."

Angus quickly waved his hand and shook his head quietly at him: "Don't, don't! If Catherine hears this, you will have to go to the hospital today before changing the spaceship!"

"Dear Angus, what are you talking about?" Catherine glared at her husband with a kind smile.

Kevin, who was already 12 years old, saluted Luther a little cautiously: "Uncle, I...we will miss you very much, when will you come back?"

Luther glanced at the yellowing leaves, and said casually: "Probably every autumn, when your school uniform is about to change into autumn clothes."

Kevin didn't expect that his uncle, the marshal, would know when he changed his school uniform.

Luther understood Kevin's astonishment. His nephew must have been born during the war and developed a habit of being overly cautious. This is not acceptable. This is the future of the Stuart family and Angus' family. , the future Marshal of the Federation.

"Hey, little Kevin, come here," Luther beckoned to him, looking at the promoted young sapling with satisfaction, "What do you want to do in the future? Your parents won't force you, and of course I won't either."

"I think..." Kevin glanced at Wen's tombstone, then looked back at the uncle he had been looking up to, and said seriously, "I thought about joining the army and being a great man like you." Marshal, but in fact, I also want to be a doctor. Treating patients feels like playing a game with death, which makes my heart throbbing and calm."

Luther was a little surprised, and felt that this seemed reasonable, so Kevin might become a medical marshal in the future, calm and courageous.

But looking at this look, he should be influenced by himself and Wen.

"Well, very good ambition," Luther nodded, and solemnly pressed Kevin's shoulder with his mechanical hand, "Follow your own will, I believe our Stuart children will definitely have extraordinary achievements , of course, there is another point, although you are still young, but I still want to remind you..."

As he said that, he looked towards Aite. A silent little girl, about the same age as Kevin, was looking at Kevin with a polite smile.

Of course Kevin also found out, his little face suddenly burned up, and his face was reddish so that he could keep his eyes on Luther and listen to the elder's teachings.

"What I want to remind you is, don't miss the person you shouldn't miss," Luther's voice sounded, and Catherine and Angus, who were bickering, also fell silent, "A person's life is neither long nor short, just enough to make people If you miss it, you will spend the rest of your life regretting it, and you too, don’t miss the most important thing, whether it’s a decision, a thing, or a person.”

Kevin nodded half-understood and said, "I...understood, uncle."

Neither Catherine nor Angus was in the mood to joke anymore. They wanted Luther, who had always been gloomy, to embark on his journey happily, but he still seemed to be wallowing in the past.

Also, who can forget the beauty that has been lost again and again?Catherine sighed to herself.

She still remembered ten years ago, after the outpost raid, Luther's escape pod was brought back intact by Angus, but no matter what, Luther couldn't wake up.

After diagnosis, the doctor said that Luther was fine, but he just didn't want to wake up. He was immersed in great grief and self-hypnotized. If this continues, he might have organ failure and die in his dream.

Everyone was helpless. Only Angus knew the general reason why Luther didn't want to wake up, but it was the critical stage of the counterattack. Without the marshal, the Federation would be in a panic. There was only one way to forcibly wake him up.

Angus found Wen Zeng's command voice record on the "Lion Eagle", and a sound was played in Luther's ear in a loop.

"How did you turn on the machine when you lacked energy?!"

"Exactly, your master is still there, if you can still move, let's go to the prison! Three two one, let's go!"

"You... Mister, I beg you, stop talking about death!"

"...I am really nothing, but if I love him, I will give him the best things in the world. I will always think about caring for him, loving him, sharing all his unhappiness, and not letting him suffer. A little hurt, this is the duty of a lover."

…………

Luther, who was originally in a vegetative state and had no reaction to the outside world, trembled slightly, two tears dripped from his closed eyes, and then a pair of ice blue eyes full of tears opened, filled with empty despair .

Catherine, who had been taking care of him, hurried over to ask him how he was doing. After waking up, Luther, who was extremely weak, grabbed his sister's cuff weakly, and murmured as if he was out of breath: "Cathy...he is Vincent Te...he is the real Vincent, my text is gone, my text is gone..."

Catherine had never seen such a weak and helpless younger brother, so she could only hug him silently, her heart throbbing with pain.

Although she didn't know what happened to him along the way, she would always remember Vincent, the child who was always like an angel in his memory, he influenced Luther's life, from birth to death, the person Luther engraved in his heart.

He liked Vincent, Catherine had seen it since she was a child.

Vincent "died" after that family mutation, which dealt a great blow to Luther. Since then, the once cowardly younger brother became calm and iron-blooded, and it was not relieved until he met the impostor.

But a counterfeit is a counterfeit after all, and the injured Luther once again saw the person he was thinking about day and night, and that was an uncontrollable impulse.

Luther is the marshal, but also her younger brother.

"Vincent... Did he say anything in the end?" Catherine carefully guided Luther's dead heart.

"He said..." Only then did Luther react, and his eyes gradually brightened, "With me here, the Federation will be rejuvenated."

This is like a shot in the arm, allowing Luther to persevere for ten years, winning the counterattack, expelling the empire to the main star, and regaining everything in the federation. The post-war reconstruction of the federation, and now the rapid development, from the decline of the war, Nirvana rebirth.

Luther was exhausted.

Catherine couldn't help looking at Luther who was teaching Kevin. His blond hair was still the same, but it was straw-colored in the setting sun, mixed with inconspicuous silver threads.

He's just under 40 years old.

Catherine suppressed her reluctance and sadness, and hurriedly left the cemetery. Angus chased after him. Kevin, who was in a dilemma, glanced at Luther and saw Luther nodding. He saluted respectfully and went outside the cemetery. Take care of my mother who suddenly lost her composure.

Before Kevin left, he said something to the strange girl. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, with a strong atmosphere of childhood sweethearts. The girl watched Kevin leave, and then turned to look at Luther.

It's been a long time since Luther met such a calm gaze looking straight up or looking down. When he met the girl's dark eyes, the atmosphere between the two of them froze for a while.

Sandwiched in the middle is Aite who led the girl. He has been silent since Wen's death, and now he has no choice but to say something: "This lady...she wants to meet you alone."

After Aite finished speaking, he paid homage to Wen and left. Only Luther and the girl in her early ten years were left in the cemetery.

The girl walked over leisurely, held her skirt and made an ancient salute: "Long time no see...human beings."

"Are you..." Luther narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Rat Queen?"

The girl smiled lightly: "It's the former Queen of the Mouse, and I have also resigned. I am relaxed. Now my name is Elizabeth."

Luther stared at her indifferently, and couldn't help stretching his fingers into his pocket. There was his usual dagger there. He never had a good impression of this strange creature.

Let him have a good impression of the mouse, in the next life.

The Queen of the Mouse, who had already changed her name to Elizabeth, didn't care much. She trimmed her hair and said, "I've been avoiding meeting you, just because I'm worried that this kind of situation will happen. Don't show your weapon, it will scare Kevin."

"Did you come to the Commonwealth, or for Angus?" Luther looked anxiously at the short Elizabeth. Ten years ago, he had to look up at the once nearly three-meter-tall Queen Rat, "Warning you, Kathy and him Love is stronger than gold, so don't think about Kevin."

Elizabeth spread her hands innocently: "I don't want to either, I just stopped by to see Angus, who knows that his son won't let me go, to be honest, Kevin is really an interesting boy, as an incipient female human , I couldn't refuse him."

She had already expected Luther's distrust, and continued flatly: "I will be the same as you ordinary humans after I stop being a rat queen. I will also be born, old, sick, and die. I will not spread diseases and abnormalities, but my mental power and reproductive power are slightly stronger. That's all, I came here today to expose myself to you, not to seek death, I just want to tell you... something about that human named Wen."

As soon as he heard Wen, Luther forgot all the conflicts in an instant, and quickly asked, "What is it?"

"You know, the black minerat has the ability to transcend time and space. My dream will predict the future, maybe the next day, or the second era after the destruction of the universe, but about Wen, I think you should really want to know."

"He is about to be born in a strange place, which seems to be not in a parallel space with this universe. It is an era of wars and ups and downs, a country where feudalism is broken and order is chaotic. He was born in a wealthy country accompanied by a white fox. At home, the fox will protect him and his family's luck, but make him weak and sick. He was a fragile child when he was a child, and there will be a sudden change of fate when he is about to grow up."

Elizabeth came slowly, and she told Luther everything in her dream. She had witnessed this pair of beautiful and painful lovers, and she instinctively wanted to help them.

"You are the key to the turning point of his destiny," she looked at Luther with pure black eyes, very seriously, "I don't think I need to say any more, whether you are in this life or the next life, remember one thing, protect yourself, And protect him at the same time."

Luther was in a daze for a long time, and closed his eyes as if feeling something, hiding the heat and pain in his eyes, and whispered: "I understand, thank you, Your Majesty."

"I'm just Elizabeth," Elizabeth raised her skirt again to salute, watching Luther leave resolutely, and said sincerely, "I wish you good luck, ill-fated human couple."
