Lin Shu opened his eyes.

He was still in the wilds of the Lawrence Plains, in the shadow of the Leviathan, a strand of silky blond hair brushing the back of his hand as the breeze floated.

Everything seemed to be stagnant at the second he held Yofasa.

His Majesty the Emperor leaned forward slightly, which was a sign that he was about to fall. Linshu subconsciously supported him so that he could stand still.

Yofasa's expression softened quickly from complete indifference, and that face, which was so delicate that it was not human, showed a look that is exactly what a human being would have.

His brows were slightly raised, his eyelids were slightly lowered, his thin and shallow lips were slightly parted, and he let out a slightly painful breath.

Then a series of tears rolled down from his eyes, the overabundance of emotion and the memory sealed up for four years broke through the shackles, causing his thinking to fall into chaos for a while, and his cloudy eyes seemed at a loss.

"Zacharya..." Linshu held Yophasa's side face in his hands, calling his name repeatedly, "Zacharia..."

He thought Yofasa was beautiful when he cried, and beautiful women looked good in every way—and half of them too.

But he didn't like to see Yofasha cry the most, because he would feel uncomfortable then.

"Zacharias, can you hear me?" he asked.

After maybe a minute, Yofasa looked at Linshu and nodded slightly.

"I don't know what you're thinking now. I don't know whether you want to make this empire better or worse." Linshu said, "But I hope you don't think about these things anymore."

Yofasha blinked, and beads of water hung on his golden eyelashes.

How could he not want to?No matter what his original intention was, he had already reached this point. As long as he was still the emperor, he had to think and do it.

But Linshu held his hand tightly and said to him: "Don't think about anything, just run away with me."

Jehofasa's thinking faltered again.

He didn't think this was what Linshu should say.

It is true that Linshu is an idealist. He hopes that this dirty and corrupt empire can be reborn. He hopes that every child can get an education. He hopes that all poor people can have bread. Distorting human nature and hurting others through painful encounters.

He is working hard and fighting for this. He knows that he is just a bunch of splashes in the torrent of history. He knows that what he can do is limited. Gerbert's scientific research achievements cannot influence the situation in terms of identity.

He is so ordinary, so small.

But before today, he has never given up on his ideals. Even if what he can do is limited, he must do his best to make the probability of success higher.

Even if it's just a little bit.

That is the source of his life, and he doesn't mind giving and sacrificing everything for it. In fact, on this road, he has regarded the lives of most people as more important than himself, and it is just his luck to be able to live till now.

"One cannot be too greedy," he said.

"If you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something. There are not so many good things that have the best of both worlds."

"There's only room for one thing for the rest of my life."

So he has to make a choice.

Now he has made a choice.

Yofasa looked at Linshu quietly, his tears had stopped, but his eyes were still cloudy and moist.

His eye sockets were hot, and his body was a little cold from the wind.

He was understanding Linshu's words, and the short sentences were split into words and letters one by one by him, and the letters were rolled and arranged to form countless new sentences.

In one second, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"When I was in Senna City, I wanted to say something to you, but at that time I was not qualified to make a promise to you." Lin Shu continued, "I really couldn't do what I wanted to say afterward."

"But it's different now."

Yofasa once told Linshu that when he was very young, he thought that the world revolved around him. It was not until later that he realized that not everyone liked him, and that he was not the core of the world.

"Zacharia."

"If you are willing to regard me as your world, then the "world" will revolve around you. "

"Until I die."

Linshu stared at Yofasha's scarlet eyes, his voice was gentle but full of solemnity.

He wasn't sure if Yofasa was willing to listen to this beautiful promise that seemed like a lie. He had made many choices that were not worthy of being trusted.

It is reasonable to be rejected.

He waited for the result, like waiting for the gavel of the verdict to come down.

Yofasha didn't speak, he slowly moved closer to Linshu, and gently kissed Linshu's forehead.

I don't have to tiptoe.He found this out, and was subtly amused by it.

-

The Leviathan in the sky made the sound of mechanical collision and friction, and this huge floating ship gradually disintegrated, first a few pieces, then dozens, hundreds, tens of thousands...

In the end, it turned into particles that could not be simply quantified, flying over the Lawrence Plain, and falling slowly like dust.

The only complete thing left in the airship is the engineers who still have human form. Before the airship disintegrated, they descended to the Lawrence Plain like falling feathers.

This made them at a loss, not knowing why, and wanted to ask the emperor for answers.

But the emperor's final order was to stay away from him.

Ulysses looked up at the disintegrated Leviathan in the sky, and soon after, he looked back, bathed in the particle dust left by Leviathan, and walked to the distance with his back to the emperor.

-

"In order to save his life, I did something... there is no way to judge right or wrong."

More than ten hours ago, Feiger started with this sentence.

"Zacharia is actually not a finished product. I don't want him to be a completely different species from humans, so I tampered with his information when he was young, making the council think that he was based on humans and could Arrived at the end."

"Four years ago, I took his process to the next stage, saving his life and bringing him closer to Leviathan."

"This is not a good start, nor is it a good result, but the process can no longer be simply terminated. The current him does not reject becoming Leviathan."

"The benefits of alienation have limits. When he gets enough preferential treatment, defects and burdens will follow. This will not only be reflected in his personal physical and mental changes, but also external influences."

"In this human-dominated society, no matter how powerful he is, he can't compete with the whole world, and the foundation of the empire has long been hollowed out by bureaucrats and nobles. He will lose, and there is no doubt that he will lose."

"It's not that I can't accept the fall of the empire, but I can't accept his death, and I can't accept that everyone is cheering for his death."

Feigel, who had been guarding the emperor for more than ten years, talked about it without haste, and then he stated that the purpose of contacting Linshu was to hope that he could help him, interrupt Yofasha's process of becoming Leviathan, and retrieve Yofasha. Sha's remaining humanity made him return to the ranks of human beings.

Use what Linshu thinks is extremely unscientific.

There is no doubt that the rebel loves his child deeply, and he took this commission with the risk of death just as he expected.

When the drone delivered the medicine to Linshu in a hidden place more than ten kilometers away from the rebel camp, Linshu raised another question.

"Mr. Feiger, I want to ask you, why don't you do this yourself? For him, there should be no big difference between family love and other feelings, and it should have the same effect if you stop his progress. "

Feiger replied: "I'm not sure if it's really effective, and if he doesn't have enough affection for people close to him, he will probably kill the person who prevents him from becoming Leviathan, even if he successfully enters his body. The spiritual world is not necessarily free from danger."

"I don't think you are a person who is afraid of death." Lin Shu said.

Feiger was silent for a while, then said frankly, "I am."

"I'm really afraid of death—the first time you do it, if you die, I can adjust the strategy and turn one chance into two; but if it's up to me, once you fail, everything will be over."

He spoke too frankly, it sounded like he regarded Linshu as a sacrificial experiment, consumable, and didn't expect much from him, but Linshu didn't feel angry.

He already knew what kind of person Feiger was.

"But Mr. Feiger, you have to understand one thing." Linshu held the potion in his hand, closed his eyes, "If I succeed in finding him, Zacharias will be mine alone. .This time, I really won't pay it back."

Feiger was silent for a while, showing the first smile Linshu had seen since he met him, even though the upward arc of his mouth might only be as much as a few pixels.

"I'm looking forward to it," Feiger said.

The northwestern border of the empire was considered safe, with no war or gunpowder, and apart from the remoteness caused by the climate, it was considered a good place.

The clerk at the roadside convenience store had been out of business for too long, yawning lazily, and almost fell asleep leaning against the counter.

"drop--"

The sound of the siren woke up the clerk of the convenience store. He jumped up from the chair, rubbed his chest and turned his head, and saw a medium-sized RV parked in front of the convenience store, and an oriental man with black hair and black eyes jumped out of the driver's seat.

The oriental man picked out a bunch of snacks from the shelves and came to check out, and asked him how far the next town was.

The clerk glanced at the snacks bought by the Orientals. Most of them claimed to be healthy, low-calorie, and sugar-free. He rolled his eyes in his heart: There are so many things to pay attention to when eating snacks, so don’t eat them if you are afraid that they will be unhealthy. Orientals’ health preservation is really well-deserved.

On the surface, he still paid the Oriental man with a polite attitude, telling him that the road ahead was being repaired, and that he might not be able to reach the nearest city before dark, but another small town was closer.

Dongfang thanked him and left the convenience store.

The clerk lying on the counter boredly turned on the news, and turned to the news that the emperor was assassinated and killed a few days ago, the imperial war weapons disintegrated, and the rebel army captured the Lawrence Plain.

I heard that the new emperor is about to take over, and she is still an empress. I don't know if this one will show her face.

Do you want to do some planning and planning in advance?I don't think the Empire has a great chance of winning.

He yawned and moved on to the next news item.

Yofasha slept for a long time, and when he woke up, his surroundings were very dark. There was a small night light on his bedside, and the lamp base was fixed on the wall.

This is a small bedroom, it should be in the car according to the structure.

He turned his head, and Linshu was sitting next to him peeling an orange. When he noticed the movement, he immediately put down the orange to check his situation: "Zacharia? How do you feel?"

Jeofasa opened his eyes, and after a while, he flicked his golden eyelashes, sat up with Linshu's strength, and spread half of the bed with his long and smooth hair.

He shook his head, expressing that he was not uncomfortable at all. The worried expression on Linshu's face immediately relaxed, and he stood up and opened the window next to him.

Outside the window is a meandering river, the calm water reflects the sky full of stars, the hazy and soft moonlight spills in from the window, and melts into the halo of the night lights.

They stayed on the bank of the river in the wild, waiting for the dawn.

Yofasa's sluggish thoughts flowed slowly like a river. He found his voice and asked, "Where are we?"

"Near the border of the empire, we can go to neighboring countries the day after tomorrow at the latest. Although no one is chasing us, we still have to be careful."

Linshu picked up a coat and put it on Yofasa, and at the same time described their current situation in as simple a language as possible.

The empire lost the emperor and Leviathan, but unexpectedly did not lose quickly, and the two sides were still at a stalemate.

According to their agreement, Feiger let Yofasa and Linshu flee together, and gave them the green light along the way, at least to ensure that they would leave the border.

And the rebels did not embarrass Linshu and Yuefasha. Zemel concealed the matter of Yuefasha and updated Linshu's mission——

Hijack the Empire's WMDs away and help them cripple the Empire's combat power.

"As long as you can make Leviathan disappear, I don't care if you assassinate or elope."

Not only did Zemel say that, but he also promised to subsidize Linshu to a certain extent, so that he could take the emperor away and fly away, so that the emperor would not be hungry enough to eat and go back to his hometown to cause trouble for them.

Attitude can be simply referred to as wishing they could go as far as they could go.

"But you are more expensive, I may still have to find a way to earn some money myself." Linshu suddenly glanced at the back of Yofasa's hand, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?" Yofasa listened carefully, and when Linshu stopped, he tilted his head.

Linshu's eyes shifted for a moment, and then he turned back quickly, pointing to Yofasa's hand: "Well... I bought a car before, but I didn't have enough money, so... I sold your engagement ring..."

Yofasa looked at his ring finger, slightly puzzled. He did not take off his engagement ring before, but it was not because he had deep feelings for his fiancée.

"It's not just a ring," he said.

"I've dealt with it..."

"Gems are not whole, so they are not worth much."

"I sell rings, silver."

"The price of silver is also..."

"Okay, don't talk anymore!" Linshu interrupted Yofasa, he let out a sigh of relief, and said directly, "I don't like you wearing that ring, I took it off on purpose."

He had already disliked that ring when he was watching the news!

Yofasa raised the corners of his lips after a long absence, showed a slight smile, and asked, "So what about the substitute?"

Lin Shu was slightly taken aback, he was obviously past the age where he would feel shy about such things, because Yofasha was too frank, which made him seem a bit hypocritical.

He turned around and took out a wooden box from the cabinet under the bed, and clicked it open. Inside the box lay two silver rings that were obviously still half-finished, just two crooked rings.

"It's not finished yet. I was going to buy you a new one... It's really difficult to make this thing."

Linshu muttered to take out one, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Yofasha stretching out his left hand to him.

"Wearing my ring is the one who wants to marry me, the kind that can't be separated." Linshu paused for a short while, and then held up Yofasa's hand kindly, "You think it over."

The moonlight outside the window was bright and cold, the river was running slowly, and the rising breeze stirred up sand and dust, making a small sound.

The rebel army who gave up their ideals and the emperor who stepped down from the throne exchanged a pair of simple rings on this ordinary to dull night.

"where are we going?"

"I don't know, but we can think about it slowly, otherwise it will be fine wherever we go."

"What is your hometown like?"

"I haven't been back for many years. It is a very good country in my impression, at least no one can match it in terms of food."

"Then go to your hometown first..."

"Okay, but it's very far away from the empire, and I don't know how long it will take to get there."

"Can't you fly?"

"Can you have the self-consciousness of a fugitive?"

"Well……"

……

That will be a long and long journey.

This journey has no end.

There are extra episodes!The finale is to be perfect!Some things can't fit in the last chapter, let's put them in the episode!

By the way, because I travel all over the world, theoretically, I can have endless children and grandchildren... In short, let me think about the honeymoon... Ah no, where is the first stop of the trip.

Will post on Weibo to talk about Sarah's creative process xxx will not talk about it here.
