Chapter 1557: say goodbye to the past

Name:Sword of Daybreaker Author:Yuan Tong
After a long confrontation and silence, all Gawain's thoughts finally turned into a long sigh.

"I want to say that you can actually have a better way, but the trajectory of history has never cared about a 'better way'," he nodded lightly, looking at the phantom in front of him, "It also proves that you The decision has now been exchanged for a relatively more promising situation. Although there may be some variables in the middle, I have now successfully reunited the loose remnants of Gondor, and in the process I have found a way to fight the disaster and the tide of magic. The way we are preparing for the final challenge, mortals are not guaranteed, but this time we are more prepared than every previous season of civilization."

"This is the best situation we have ever imagined," Gawain Cecil, who was sitting opposite, laughed. "Charlie should be relieved to know this."

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Charlie also knows about this?"

"How can you not know? He is the king, and I guard the frontier for him. If there is no king's acquiescence and support, how could a southern guardian duke have the luxury to suddenly lead a boat out to sea, and then drift on the sea without any news. More than half a year?" Gawain Cecil laughed, "And if my guess is correct, after I 'die', there should be a lot of legends and stories about me left in this world, true and false. Confusion, innumerable poems and contradictory historical materials will cover my life in fog, and my journey will be completely hidden from history... All this is to make a Mysterious ancient heroes are legitimately brought back to life.

"Then who, besides the king, can arrange this on such a vast scale and in such a long time span?"

Gawain stared, but didn't speak for several seconds. After so many years of deciphering and exploring history, he thought he had at least understood most of the ins and outs of Gawain Cecil's trip to the sea. Apart from the blank part of the memory, there should be no other omissions, but I didn't expect that there are so many secrets behind this incident, and the memories involved in these secrets are obviously Gawain Cecil voluntarily from before his death. Erasing my mind...

Two memories, one from Gawain Cecil, and one from the wandering souls in the satellites, each has its own shortcomings, but they make up for each other. It has been a century, and now these lost fragments have finally slowly floated up from the long river of time, and put together a complete picture in front of Gawain. He put his finger on his forehead to calm his mind as soon as possible. How long did it take to look up at the phantom in front of him: "Well, Charlie knows about this, I should have thought about this... What else? What kind of 'surprise' did you leave me?"

"There is a letter," Gawain Cecil's mouth seemed to curl up, "Charlie left it to you now."

"A letter?!" Gawain's eyes widened in an instant, and the unexpected situations that happened today really happened one after another, so that the indifferent attitude he had tempered for many years could not hold back now, "Charlie left it to me. ?"

"Is it a surprise? Since he knows the whole thing, of course he also knows your existence. Although you can't meet, he also has something to communicate with you and it is for you today. Leave a letter here with me. The letter was the best way we could think of at that time," Gawain Cecil said with a calm expression, and then he raised a hand, Gawain didn't see any movement from him to take things, and the letter was It appeared in his hands out of thin air, "I kept it in the depths of my soul. Originally, it should come directly to the earth as part of your memory, but the accident has delayed this matter until today, but now I finally have the opportunity to give it to you. on hand."

Gawain looked at the letter and hesitated for a while before reaching out and holding it in his hand. Before opening the letter, he looked at the figure that looked exactly like him, and the latter just smiled and gave him a slight tap. nod.

Gao Wen took a light breath and calmed his heartbeat slowly. Then he opened the letter that was passed down from memory to this day. Lines of words written centuries ago came into his eyes.

"My friend, I hope this letter didn't surprise you too much. In our limited intelligence, we really can't think of a better way to come to this letter that may come decades or even hundreds of years after our death. The existence of the world establishes communication, the lifespan of human beings is too short, and the soul is fragile and difficult to retain, and I do not want to entrust my mind to necromantic magic or the ethereal blessing of the gods, after thinking about it, I can only write you a letter .

"You might think this 'communication' is pointless because I may have been part of the dirt by the time you received this letter, but for us short-lived creatures who are attached to the world, there are many Actions that don't make sense are worth doing, because even after death, we still have a lot of things we can't let go.

"If you can read this letter, you must have fulfilled the promise as Gao Wenqing said, and you must have come to the earth and are starting to revitalize this fragmented world?

"Is the food produced in the Holy Spirit Plain enough to eat now? Shouldn't people freeze to death on the northwest frontier now? Anthony has always wanted to build a strong city in the eastern region. Has that city been built?

"I really want to see what the world in your era has become like, I don't have enough imagination, and I can't outline the landscape of the future, but I think it will at least be a better era than the present, right?

"Our time...not so good...don't get me wrong, I still love this land, everyone on it and everything we've built together, but even so, we're still living in a tough world, food There is always not enough food, the weather in the north is colder than we knew when we set out. The warm place is too close to the wasteland, the safe place is frozen for thousands of miles, and we have cultivated a lot in this strange and cold land years, but the land still sees us as strangers…

"But by your time, this should have been a memory of the past, right?

"Friend, I don't know if you will regard me as a friend, but I want to call you that. Gao Wenqing said that you will inherit his memory, inherit his body and name, and you will be another him when you come to the earth. . Although it may be just a temporary shell for an existence like you, he told me that you are trustworthy and worthy of many things, and I have always trusted him, so now I also trust you.

"I believe that if you are willing to abide by this time-spanning agreement, and even pay attention to a group that may be fleeting in the blink of an eye in your eyes, then you will surely be able to achieve the things that Gao Wenqing and I have imagined.

"So I entrusted it all to you, a mess, a rotten world, a not-so-promising race, a civilization shattered into pieces, whatever you want to call them but please cherish them, because no matter how bad they are , which is what we have all the way to this day, is our most precious treasure.

"A friend you've never met, C."

The letter is not long. This is not a letter that conveys amazing secrets, nor is it a suicide note explaining the important affairs of the family and country. This is really an ordinary letter, used to convey a greeting that is destined to be unanswered. As if deliberately wanting to leave a trace in Gawain's memory, Charlie left such a page of text, and after Gawain read the letter, these words began to gradually dissipate in the darkness.

After all, they are not real substances, but only projections reflected by memory.

Gawain raised his head, and he saw that the figure sitting in front of him suddenly began to fade and dissipate.

After all, this is just a wisp of consciousness that was forcibly preserved by Lady Ye for centuries, not even a piece of soul.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye," Gawain Cecil's phantom stood up, with a relaxed expression on his face, "I'm here to deliver this letter, and now I finally put this last It's done."

Gawain also stood up, he stared silently at the figure in front of him, and after a while, he finally broke the silence with a deep voice: "You know, in fact, Charlie and the 'Kingdom of Ansu' you entrusted to me a few years ago. The kingdom has been turned into history and it is terminally ill, and I can only give it the final ride with my own hands."

Gawain Cecil looked into Gawain's eyes quietly, and then suddenly laughed: "I know, that 'lady' has already told me, but you know, in fact, as early as centuries ago, Charlie and I had already guessed that there might be such a possibility."

Gawain frowned: "Did you guess it?"

"Yes, I guessed it," Gawain Cecil nodded lightly, "Dynasties are not eternal, and it is even more difficult to say how thick the accumulation of a kingdom that a group of refugees hastily put together. There is no 'valve' that can assist the royal family to maintain absolute authority like the Deep Blue Well, and there is no rigorous system and detailed historical data that the Gondor Empire has inherited for thousands of years. The pioneers are heroes, but what can the descendants of heroes be? That is just descendants That's all... Decades, hundreds of years, we don't even dare to imagine what Ansu will rot after dozens of generations.

"So at the time we thought, if it's you, if you've actually seen the 'landscapes' you've painted me, then you probably can't stand the mess and what if it wasn't? The foundation of the kingdom is destined to the upper limit of the kingdom's development, and this upper limit... is far from enough to fight against the tide and the gods.

"So if Ansu is gone, it will be gone. Living people can't control what happens next. Charlie never thought that the dynasty he built would last forever. Of course, I don't know if he will still think so in his later years. , after all, he was very young when I left.

"But then again, what do you think? After inheriting my memory, when you overthrew the terminally ill kingdom with your own hands, did you hesitate in your heart? Now standing in front of me, you have no doubts about your original Do you have any doubts about the decision?"

"I didn't hesitate at all," Gawain smiled and looked at the figure in front of him calmly, "and after seeing you, I am even more open-minded to the point where there is no doubt that a terminally ill kingdom is not worth preserving, and it is not worth keeping in my heart. It seems that you and Charlie did not entrust me with the 'Kingdom of Anzu'. What you entrusted to me are the things in this land and their future. From this point of view, I think I have done a good job. "

Gawain Cecil's phantom widened his eyes in surprise. He stared at Gawain for a while, then suddenly laughed, and said with a smile, "If Charlie is here, it will definitely be because of you. This sentence applauds, what do you think he will say about your calmness?"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "How would he evaluate it?"

The tall phantom took a half step forward, raised his hand and patted Gao Wen's shoulder

"Gao Wenqing is right."

Then, the phantom dissipated.



Gawain blinked, and he saw that he was in a giant city shrouded in a chaotic sky, with houses lined up in rows and rows extending into the distance, strangely styled spires pointing to the sky like a forest, and a towering figure standing in the sky. In the center of this giant city, the figure was overlooking the earth, with a pair of amber eyes staring at him in the depths of the hazy clouds.

"It looks like you've finished talking." Lady Ye's voice fell from the sky, calm and gentle.

"How long have we been talking?"

"In an instant."

"I thought it was a long time ago..."

Madam Ye's voice stopped for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke again: "How do you feel? Rediscovering your memory and seeing the remaining consciousness again, what do you want to say?"

Gawain thought for a while, and as his expression gradually relaxed, he let out a light sigh of relief: "There is a sense of ease in successfully stepping a step in life and putting down a burden."

"That's good, I was still worried about whether these materials would trouble you," Ms. Ye said with a smile. "It seems that my judgment is correct now."

"Your judgment?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "How did you judge?"

The sky lowered a voice: "You are a more generous person."

Gao Wen: "…"

At this moment, the lady Ye in his eyes seemed to overlap for a moment with a certain shadow assault goose that he was familiar with, but before he could think more, that lazy and majestic voice came from the sky again: "Okay, now that a private matter is over, it's time for us to move on to the next step."

Hearing this, Gao Wen took a light breath. The experience just now had made him realize that this "Covenant of the Ancient Gods" was far more outrageous than he had expected. The lady in front of him was holding him back. He didn't know how many heart-challenging things were waiting for him. He straightened his expression and controlled his heartbeat. Then he looked up at the eyes of the sky: "What's next? A message from the sailor?"

"Oh, the last thing we're going to talk about is still your business," Ms. Ye said with a chuckle, "Believe me, nothing about you is simpler than the fate of the navigator or the world. "

The other party's words made Gao Wen's expression immediately serious, and he frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"In these years, you have made a lot of great achievements," Ms. Ye said unhurriedly, "revitalize the southern border, unify the country, lead an era, and even integrate the civilization on this planet. You have recovered the wasteland and defeated the God, now you will lead the world against the tide of magic and complete the last test of civilization before it reaches the stars...

"What an amazing achievement, and in the hearts of many people, these achievements are all integrated into you, so when you complete these great achievements, is there a moment, even just for a moment, that you realize that you have been... like a god?"
