Chapter 826

With the pushed open door, there was a thick potion smell and unspeakable strange smell, which made the black haired wizard frown slightly.

When he left Qianzhang City, master Halin van ashmai, who could not stand the turbulence, was already in a coma, and he was awake for no more than four hours a day; After arriving at red blood castle, the situation not only did not improve, but even showed signs of further deterioration. He was in a state of high fever and coma all day and night.

That's why he couldn't wait to come after hearing the little wizard say he woke up.

The small room was full of bottles and cans, and the enclosed space was illuminated by only two fluorite lamps - in order to dispense drugs in time, Ayn even prepared a test-bed in the ward; The next culture tank is full of untreated materials.

The strong and mixed smell reminds people of the morgue in the church.

Beside the test-bed, a thin figure lay.

He curled up on his sickbed, his bent back hidden under the blanket; The thin and shriveled body is like a bone frame wrapped with a layer of wax skin; There are only a few gray hairs left, and the wrinkles on the face are like squeezing all the facial features together. You can only see that the corners of the mouth are still open and closed.

The cracked lips kept breaking breathing, coughing and sobbing, and the chest up and down became the only sign that could prove that he was alive; The faint voice echoed in the ward again and again, desolate and pathetic.

Looking at the dying old man in front of him, if he hadn't seen him before, it's hard for Loren to imagine that he used to be as strong as a giant monster and can wave a wand comparable to a nail hammer.

It's like getting 30 years old overnight.

With a low sigh, the black haired wizard looked back and refused to let go of himself. The countess who followed, Charlotte with a tight face, snorted and stood silently outside the door.

Loren entered the ward and closed the door gently; Maybe the sound was too loud. The old man slowly opened his eyes and revealed two faint yellow and bloodshot eyes.

It can be seen that his expression is still slightly surprised.

"Cough... Sorry, Duke, it must have delayed you a lot to visit me at this time... Cough..." there was a broken bellows sound in the old man's chest and tried to open his eyes:

"Especially... When you are in constant trouble."

The black haired wizard was slightly stunned, and his eyes were suddenly serious: "Ayn?"

"It's just a doctor talking to himself while taking care of comatose patients. Please don't get me wrong - she doesn't know how many times I woke up in the middle of coma." ashamei took a deep breath, and his weak voice even had to be close to hear clearly:

"What's more, apart from talking to herself about trivial current affairs, this clever little girl has no other way to send off and take care of an old man who is going to the ground and can't chat with her."

Loren pulled the corners of his mouth. He almost forgot what Ayn said to himself - the other party had revealed the biggest secret of the little wizard, and he needed to care about it?

The awkward atmosphere made the dark haired wizard subconsciously want to change the topic: "master asamai, how do you feel now?"

"Ha ha... Cough... You've seen it, haven't you?" the weak old man smiled, with a hint of self mockery: "it's no different from the centenarian who is about to enter the earth."

"But you can waste your time today. From the solemn round table hall to this narrow ward, I don't intend to say some last words to make you feel bored; in fact, if possible, I'm ready to wait until I'm ready and complete, and then have a good chat with you when you're free."

"But... Obviously, my body doesn't give me so much wealth - so you might as well listen to me, an old man. You can't hear too much anyway."

"Please speak and I'll listen."

The black haired wizard raised his head and looked at the alchemist with a dignified look.

"In the past month or so, I have not been awake for more than 20 times, and I can only hear some clips each time." asamai's chest fluctuated, and his chapped lips trembled slightly:

"But every time, I can hear something new - the floating city plan, your letter, the negotiation with the Yunling Kingdom, the rumors in the red blood castle, the demon hunter guard, the alliance with eboden, the new wizard College... Lin Lin Lin."

"Some of these things involve your governance of the principality, some involve diplomacy, and some are related to your wizard background... But from these piecemeal events, I have come to an interesting conclusion - I am an alchemist and am naturally good at summarizing."

"And my conclusion is... You are very busy, very busy."

"This kind of busyness is very normal and abnormal - you seem to see an enemy invisible to others and struggle desperately in an unfathomable abyss."

"So... Your busyness is a manifestation of your fear."

"You, the master of the first principality of the Empire, the commander in chief of the army and the wizard who has mastered the valve, are deeply afraid of something." ashamed said faintly:

"Referring to the Centaur war that caused heavy losses to both principalities, I think the answer is ready to come out."

Lauren was slightly surprised.

Although it's not the first time to see the excellent insight of the old man, it's too

"Please don't show this expression. I just said some opinions I got after observation, which may not be correct."

The old man coughed, sipped his mouth gently, and then continued: "when a person gets old, he will feel boring about the world, because he sees too much and experiences too much, it is easy to see light."

"So, although I don't know what you're afraid of, and I don't have the right to judge what you've done; but now that you're here, can you listen to me, an old man, talk about my experience?"

The black haired wizard's eyes coagulated and nodded solemnly: "of course."

Master asamai coughed again and took a deep breath: "you know, I, freswalker and corona... The Wizards of our generation have basically experienced the era of the black Duke."

"It was really an extraordinary era; the spirited Duke, the unique queen, and the tenth generation who came with them; even today, even if the church is deliberately blocked, we can still see the shadow of the tenth generation; even today, we can still find their legacy."

"I think corona must have mentioned to you the evil gods falling into the world and the holy cross that can't resist... As early as the tenth generation, the wizard tower has been aware of these and tried to make some efforts."

"Unfortunately, the world is not a paradise where you can succeed as long as you work hard; what's more, you can accomplish nothing."

What the hell is he talking about?

Do you want to use the example of the black Duke to tell yourself that no matter how busy you are, it is impossible to change the established future?

Lauren, who was slightly depressed, showed a puzzled look in his eyes.

"We tried, we tried; just like the noble Dragon Queen and the black Duke, they tried and tried..." master asamai paused slightly, as if this sentence had consumed him too much physical strength:

"No one can accuse them of their sacrifice, and no one is more qualified than them to say that they are right - even the noble Dragon Queen. Our history books only mention that she finally signed the decree to depose Roland Turin;

But people who lived in the tenth generation know that the queen who came back from the battlefield was seriously injured. The person in charge of the Tianqiong palace was her eldest son, and later the supreme emperor of the eleventh generation. "

"They are so wise and wise, so brave to sacrifice and dedication, but... They failed."

"Why?"

"Is it because they did something wrong? Because their enemies are too strong, because their subjects can't understand them, because they did something beyond their ability?"

Master asamai whispered softly, like an old man who was repeating his memories with his children and grandchildren.

"I'm just an old man who lives too long and sees too many people. I can see problems, but I can't solve them - so I can only say that there are all three."

Loren, who listened carefully, was lost in thought.

Too powerful enemy

Subjects who can't understand all this

Behavior beyond ability

When the dark haired wizard raised his head again, he saw the old man raising his eyes and staring at himself with his bright eyes:

"My Duke, your fear comes from too powerful enemies; you are busy because all this is far beyond your ability, so you have to strengthen your strength; you are in prison and besieged on all sides..."

"It's because your subjects and your friends are eager to help you, but they can't understand what you're doing."

"I don't know whether you can succeed or not, but what I see is that you are repeating the mistakes made by Roland Turin, the black Duke, in another way." the turbidity in the old man's pupils is fading:

"Be an 'incomprehensible' hero."

Lorenton was speechless.

"You are the Duke of Byrne. Many of the thirteen leaders of Byrne have experienced or at least learned about the legend of the black Duke from their parents. They will tell you how regretful they abandoned the black Duke at that time, and promise you that similar things will never happen again..."

"But please let me tell you as an old man that there is nothing new under the sun." Halin van achamay relaxed his breath, and his shriveled chest fluctuated slightly:

"Anyone who wants to save the world on his own will eventually find himself betrayed by all his beliefs and reduced to the point of confrontation with the world."

"So is the black Duke, so is the Dragon Queen, and so are the Wizards."

"At the beginning of our birth, we fought against evil gods, but in fact we were no different from those heretical groups; later, we became a small group and a special organization; then, we spread ourselves to all corners of villages and towns..."

"When we became ordinary, ordinary and part of all classes of the Empire, we found that... We finally had the strength to change and even save the Empire."

The black haired wizard came back and finally understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"You mean... Only by making more people clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem, otherwise I can only repeat the failure of the black Duke at most?"

The old man did not answer immediately, but nodded equivocally and shook his head.

"What should I do to make the truth completely public?" Lauren couldn't help asking, "but even if I wrote that letter, most ordinary people still think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, or even have deep meaning - it's still in the red blood castle. I'm afraid the effect will be worse if Byrne comes out!"

"It's a very hard job to make a group of people believe 'Fairy Tales' immediately. What's more, you have to face the pressure from the sky palace and the church, which is even harder than the black Duke in those years."

Master asamai sighed: "I'm just an old man. I can't think of any good way to solve this problem."

"However, I don't think you need to 'make it public' in a long time - as you said, the enemy's first step is to completely destroy the resistance of the Empire, then they will certainly destroy the facts around the Empire. At that time, even if the church tries to cover up, your letter will make rational people think about it."

"And I guess, in addition to internal destruction, the enemy will sooner or later use external forces... But by then, everything will be too late."

The dark haired wizard thought so.

"We can't convince people who know nothing about all this, people who pretend not to hear it, people who doubt, are hostile and even plan to let us die..." ashamed paused for a few seconds:

"But at least, we can no longer hide from our friends who are close to us and have been doing everything we can to help ourselves."

"Yes, it will bring a lot of dangers, put them in danger, and make them the target of the enemy... But it is also their right, because they will do the same to you."

"You... Really shouldn't hide it from them, let them still believe at the last moment... Everything is in your expectation."

"Let them treat you as a friend in need of help, rather than a God who can rely on and rely on... You are not an omnipotent God, and God can't save us; only an ordinary person with limited ability and all kinds of problems can save another person like him."

Loren looked at him with a dignified look and whispered softly, but he was so serious that every word seemed to be bleeding Halin van achamay; He finally understood what the other party wanted to say to himself.

While he was still awake, he opened his wound when he was alive and told himself with bloody scars

Young man, don't win second. Don't be stupid.

"As for now..." the old man suddenly raised his head, passed the black haired wizard and looked at the locked door behind him:

"Why don't you let in the little girl behind the door who obviously just quarreled with you? I think she has been lying behind the door for a long time."
