It is a big project for the gods and generals of the Asura clan to bring all the candidate maidens on the list back to Asura City, because the heavens are very vast, and the candidates presented by the flames cross the boundaries of regions. Some people were put on the list. According to previous experience, the farthest time would be the border between the heaven and the devil world, so the four god generals were required to search in all directions.

During this period of time, the god generals who were looking for people were conscientious, while the prince who was called back to Asura City was completely at ease. After half a month, Kartikeye still cared about the "Luo" on the list. Zuo Clan", after a little calculation, he found that he and Ying hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Since the ice city left, he has never returned to the ground, and has always lived in Qiandaraja.

Counting it, it has been more than 20 years since he and Ying first met by the river.

It's unimaginable...

More than 20 years.

If he hadn't calculated it on purpose, he wouldn't have realized that such a long time had passed—no, twenty years is a long time?Compared to the lifespan of the Protoss, that was just an insignificant moment.Whether it's him or Kali, the appearance of the two of them has hardly changed. The princess of the Garuda tribe who occasionally came to Qiandaraja as a guest has grown a little taller. The noble princess Ji Xiangtian of the Emperor of Heaven vaguely has a girl King Aizenmei is still the same as when they first met, always looking like a child who can't grow up.

Kartikeye sat in Asura City, looking at the fountain in the garden, narrowing his eyes slightly.

There seemed to be a little confusion in his thinking.

The habits of being a human reminded him that "twenty years is a long time", while the cognition of being a protoss told him "that is just a short time".

The reflection in the water has not changed for many years, and it is still black-haired and golden-eyed. He is used to this appearance, to the accessories he despised as a burden, and to the scent of the Gandharva clan. He said that time seemed to stand still with his unchanging face, but this list of witches made him realize this clearly.

Time never stops, it keeps passing silently.

Kartikeye went to the temple again to meet the two priestesses.

"Can I still go out before the candidate maiden comes back?"

The two maidens looked at each other, and the elder sister answered.

"If His Royal Highness Kartikeye wants to go out, please remember to keep in touch with the clan. The official selection ceremony of the witch must be carried out in the presence of the royal family of the Asura clan. The king cannot come back, so if His Royal Highness does not return, Then the ceremony can only be postponed temporarily."

"I understand."

Kartikeye thanked the two of them.

"I'm going to visit the human race, thank you for the ceremony."

The two witches replied in unison: "This is exactly what our duty is."

Kartikeye looked at the two witches who looked exactly the same as when he opened his eyes from the altar, smiled and sighed, waved goodbye, and went to look for the flying beast by himself.

Whether it is Qiandaraja or Asura City, everyone he knows has maintained the same face for a long time. How does this make him feel the change of "time"?

If you really want to calculate, he should be in his 40s now, right?

In terms of humans, he might be considered an uncle?

However, the 40-year-old Protoss is still just a child.

The two contradictory cognitions fought in his mind, and Kartikeye got a little headache, and left the city of Ashura on the beast, and flew towards the place where the Luozuo tribe lived inhabited today.

Since Ying became the patriarch of the Luozuo tribe, the Luozuo tribe has become more and more prosperous.

The original small village gradually turned into a town and a city was built, and the population of the whole family gradually expanded from a few hundred to several thousand.In this city, not only the Luozuo people lived, but also many small tribes and homeless people who came here to seek refuge. Now it is considered a little famous city.

Kartikeye looked down at the city on the ground, and his eyes fell on the banner with the flame totem hanging on the tower.

The city was completely different from what he remembered, only the flag still seemed familiar.

The city of the Protoss has gone through thousands of years, and any changes will come extremely slowly. Sometimes the work of rebuilding and rebuilding may last for hundreds of years, long enough for all the residents to get used to those changes unconsciously.

But human cities don't have that kind of time.

It will grow rapidly, expand, become prosperous, become lively, and change with each passing day.

Because human beings can't wait that long, a craftsman may only work for more than ten years. From the time of learning to death, several generations of craftsmen can build large-scale buildings.Because of the limited youth and blood poured into them, these cities seem to have life, breathing and pulsation.

Kartikye let the beast hover in the air for a while, and finally landed directly in the city.

——This city has indeed reached a certain scale, and it has left a special place for riding beasts like the residences of all the protoss.

He didn't change his clothes, nor did he hide his eyes, and just appeared in the city with the appearance of an "Asura".

The Luozuo warriors standing near the venue were all stunned.

The young man with black hair and golden eyes was gorgeously dressed, and just standing there was as bright as the sun.

I don't know who was the first to recover from holding his breath, and knelt down with a plop.

"Asura clan! Gods!"

"Ka, His Majesty Kartikeye!"

Now there are only two royal families of the Asura clan, one is King Asura, who is well-known in the heavens, and the other is Kartikeye, the younger brother of King Asura.

The boy's appearance is obviously not the Asura King, so his identity is very clear.

More than a dozen young warriors fell on the ground in fear and trepidation, not understanding why this noble Highness suddenly condescended to descend in such an insignificant human city.

"Are you from the Luozuo tribe? Is the current patriarch still an eagle?"

Kartikeye stood where he was, and asked the person in front of him from a distance.

The person in charge here replied respectfully: "Yes, this is the territory of the Luozuo tribe. The patriarch has been in poor health recently and is recuperating."

"I want to visit him, you can lead the way."

Kartikeye walked up to the person who answered.

Seeing the white figure finally stop in front of him, the young man who had just answered was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his throat. It took a long time before he understood what he said just now, and hurriedly nodded his head in response. , After standing up, he didn't dare to look up at the other person's face, and walked with his head down to lead the way.

The journey was not long, and Kartikeye was brought to the "City Lord's Residence" again not long after. He stood outside the door, listening to the guards passing in, and he couldn't help but think of the small town with only a fence protecting the entrance. In the village, compare the stone buildings that have begun to take shape in front of you with the grass and wood houses of the year.

The words of the youth full of energy and dreams in the past are still in my ears.

"I want to rely on my own strength so that my people can survive in this world by relying on human abilities."

Already done it... Eagle...

You led the people to realize their past dreams.

The appearance of a boy and the appearance of a young man flashed before his eyes alternately.

After a while, someone in the house ran out in a hurry, because he was running too fast and his body was a little weak. When he was about to reach the door, he couldn't control himself, slipped his foot, and fell to the ground.

When Kartikeye heard the movement, he saw an old man with gray temples about to fall to the ground, so he couldn't bear it, so he rushed over to help him.

"Are you OK?"

The person being held was stunned for a while before he realized that he had stood still, and then he stopped his futile cry of pain. He raised his head, and just wanted to thank the other person, when he saw the person's face, the weak face Immediately glowing, he held the hand of the visitor in great surprise, and said with a big smile, "You're here... Finally... You finally came to see me again! Karl!"

When Kartikeye heard this address, he vaguely understood something in his heart, and he looked at the other person's face carefully.

Although the face was already old, there were still familiar shadows in the facial features, and although the eyes had become cloudy, they did not lose their former brilliance.

"...Eagle? Are you...Eagle?"

"Of course it's me! Who else can I be!"

Eagle wanted to pat his chest to show how strong he was in the past, but his body no longer allowed him to make such a move. He had already surprised the pharmacist by struggling from the bed, and now those who came out of surprise His strength seemed to be exhausted as well, he just raised his hand a little and gasped slightly.

Kartikeye helped him in time, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Ying coughed a few times weakly, waved his hands, looked at his friend's unchanged face again, and sighed with complicated emotions.

"Let's go in and talk, Carl. I'm old, and I'm no longer the energetic teenager I used to be..."

Kartikeye's hand holding his opponent froze slightly.

"Old? You are only in your 40s, how can you be old?"

Ying didn't try to be brave, and walked back to the room with the help of his friend, moved a chair to ask him to sit down, poured wine, then moved to another chair and sat down, touched the wrinkles on his face, and smiled wryly Said: "Carl, look... I'm just a human being. Do you remember? My father passed away at a similar age. I am very satisfied that I can live without disease and disaster. Since Mana left, I only think about two things. In my whole life, being able to build this city and being able to know the prince of the Asura tribe is really satisfying. I just... I just want to see you again before I am buried in the ground one side."

Kartikeye still couldn't connect this old man's face with the young man back then, always felt a little weird, he hesitated and didn't make a sound.

The head of the clan, who had spent decades in the world, saw through this hesitation, laughed in a low voice that was no longer clear, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and raised it towards the boy opposite.

"Carl, I've always wanted to toast you a glass of wine like this. Unfortunately, there was no decent wine in the clan back then. Now, now, the wine I have prepared for many years has finally come in handy."

"Toast me? Why?"

As Kartikeye spoke, he still picked up his wine glass.

Ying raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, laughed and said: "Because Karl is my lucky man, who brought me luck and hope, I want to thank you. I just... I'm sorry, I won't do it again. There is no way to invite Karl to participate in the Harvest Festival, but in the future, my daughter will entertain you like me, as long as Karl still wants to come here, as long as the Luozuo tribe is not extinct, they will always treat Karl as a distinguished guest."

Kartikeye didn't know what it was like in his heart. He lowered his head and drank the wine, and he was a little unwilling to face the sentence "There is no way to invite Karl again."

"Eagle... do you want to live a few more years?"

"No!" Ying waved his hand boldly as if he knew what Kartikeye wanted to say, "I can live for so many years, and I am already enough. I don't dare to ask for the magic medicine of the gods. Since I At the beginning, I wanted to rely on the power of human beings to keep the tribe alive, so I couldn’t escape death with the power of God at the last moment. This is not the end, it’s just a journey and a temporary farewell. Maybe one day, my soul will return to In this world, I will meet Karl again... At that time, I hope that I can be more useful than now, more... I can confidently say to everyone that I am Karl's friend..."

Kartikeye shook his head and said seriously: "Eagle can say the same now."

The old man suddenly burst into tears, laughed and cried again, reached out and took the hand of his long-lost friend, and held it firmly, as if he wanted to grasp the last shackles with the world.

"I'm...so happy...to meet Karl...it's...so nice..."

After saying this, the old man closed his eyes with a crying and laughing expression.

The warmth in his hand was still there, but Kartikeye knew clearly that the eagle was dead.

The feeble fire of life was extinguished.

It's almost as if Eagle deliberately supported to see him for the last time.

"eagle……"

Whether it was the boy back then or the old man today, they would no longer respond to Kartikeye's words.
