Merlin and Sophia were the first to run to the city lord's mansion on the top of the mountain. The two of them were the strongest among the others, so they walked at the front, and Sophia deliberately pulled Nene who had been left behind all the way to the top.
The three women ran outside the city lord's mansion, and from a distance they saw Xi Ya sitting in front of the collapsed palace, holding Saint Laurent Garros in his arms, weeping in grief.
Merlin and Sophia glanced at each other, but they didn't step forward immediately, but there was a hint of bleakness in their eyes.
Nene had already run over quickly, passing Thor Hannigan who was standing there as if he was slightly dazed. She ran in front of Xia Ya and looked at Saint Laurent Garros, who was silent in Xia Ya's arms. Nene then stopped and looked at the tears on Xia Ya's face. She slowly knelt down on both knees and just Kneeling in front of Saint Laurent Garros, he stretched out a hand to help Xia wipe the tears on his face.
"She's dead." Xia Ya's voice was hoarse, she glanced at Nei Nei, her eyes were blank, and there was a daze in her voice: "She's dead."
"Well." Nene endured the sadness and whispered: "Lord Saint Laurent... has gone, you, don't be too sad."
"She's dead." Xia Ya didn't seem to hear Nene's comfort, she just whispered: "She just died like this, I... I've only seen her twice, this is the second time I've seen her, she's already died."
Feeling sour in my heart, I couldn't help but go up and hug Xia Ya gently, trying my best to say in the softest voice: "Your Excellency has gone, Xia Ya, you..."
"She's dead, she's dead, she's dead..." Xia clung to the body of Saint Laurent Garros in her arms: "Do you know that she is my mother, do you know that I haven't had time to call She screamed! I… I should have called her a long time ago! I guessed it, but I didn’t say it… I, I…”
Nene didn't speak, just hugged Xiaya gently, let the man's head rest in his arms, let his tears wet his clothes, and gently stroked his palms on top of his head.
Merlin seemed to want to step forward, but after taking a step, Aunt Sophia grabbed her sleeve.
Merlin turned back, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Aunt Sophia.
"Don't go there." Aunt Sophia smiled bitterly: "Let that child cry for a while."
Merlin seemed to be hesitating, and Aunt Sophia continued: "Did you not hear what he said just now... Saint Laurent Garros is his mother." After a pause, Aunt Sophia smiled bitterly: "You don't know about this, do you?"
Merlin shook his head: "I don't know. All I know is that he came from the Holy City. The black hair of this kid looks like one of the seeds of experience sent by the Holy City, but the old drunk was originally from the Holy City. people, so I never thought about it.”
"Oh, I don't know either." Aunt Sophia sighed.
Merlin frowned and glanced at Sol Hannigan: "I guess he didn't know either."
Aunt Sophia thought for a while, and suddenly whispered: "I'm pulling that kid for a while, I'm worried he'll go crazy... If he tries hard to find Sol, then... If Sol wants to kill him, none of us can stop him."
Merlin's face darkened. She lost the battle with Sol so thoroughly. Later, she saw Sol Hannigan and Saint Laurent Garros fight, which shattered all the pride of the genius witch and herself.
Aslan and Hastings finally arrived, the others just stood in the distance, only Hastings, watching Char crying there, slowly walked towards Merlin and Aunt Sophia.
"Excuse me, is the winner already decided?" Hasting's tone was still cold.
"The living wins, the dead lose." Merlin said lightly: "That kid, he is actually the son of Saint Laurent, hum... You are the disciple of the old drunkard, don't you know?"
"I had already left when the teacher adopted him." Hastings shook his head.
After hesitating for a while, Hasting said lightly, "I'll go see him."
Saying that, regardless of Sophia's eyes, Hasting walked directly in front of Xia Ya and said in a low voice, "Xia Ya."
Seeing that Xia Ya didn't speak, but continued to cry bitterly, Hastings frowned, reached out and patted Nene's shoulder to let her move away a little, then grabbed Xia Ya's neck and dragged him up.
Xia Ya was unprepared, and was suddenly pulled away by Hastings, and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"
"The deceased is dead, what's the use of crying again." Hastings deliberately said in a very cold tone: "It's a joke to cry like this! I think what an expert Saint Laurent Garros is. I'm afraid she would have seen it long ago, but you are acting like a child here, making people look down on it!"
"What did you say!"
Xia Ya jumped up and said angrily, "You know, she is..."
"She's your mother." Hastings said coldly, "I know now, since she's dead, are you watching her corpse exposed here?"
Xiaya stared at Hastings blankly.
Hastings said coldly: "You are angry, you are angry, I understand very well... Of course I know your current pain, because I have experienced such pain! You at least have a chance to see her last, you at least There is still a chance, say a few words to her before she dies, and you will at least have a chance to bury her with your own hands!"
As he spoke, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, lowered his voice, and his tone was a little calmer: "Trust me, I can understand your mood... I have experienced it. I used to hide there, listening to others tell me The whole family was killed, but I didn't dare to say a word, I used to hide like a dog, I didn't have the chance to say the last word to my parents, or even bury them with my own hands."
Xia Ya seemed to have finally calmed down. He stood firm, took a few deep breaths, glanced at Hastings, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "…Thank you!"
Saying that, he bent over and hugged Saint Laurent Garros horizontally. Nene immediately helped him pick up the fire fork on the ground and whispered, "I'll help you."
Xia Ya glanced at Nene, with tears on her face, she smiled sadly: "Okay."
"Well, just bury it behind the altar, it's quite quiet."
Nene said hesitantly... She thought that Char would reject or object.
"...Alright." Xia Ya nodded unexpectedly, he suddenly became so calm, a little unbelievable, and a little strange: "It's quiet there... This holy city is over anyway, she's alive. I have been guarding this place all the time, and after I die, I probably hope to live here forever and watch this place."
After a pause, he shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't know where my father is buried, but... This should be not far from this mountain. If she is alive, she must be willing to stay in this place."
Xiaya said, walked and walked to Thorhannigan's side, and the turtle suddenly stopped.
The surrounding Merlin, Aunt Sophia, and Hasting immediately became nervous.
Nei Nei's face was pale, but he still stood tightly with Xia Ya, holding the fire fork in his hand.
Thor Hannigan looked at Xiaya and said slowly: "What? If you want to take revenge... "
"I know I'm not your opponent." Xia interrupted Sol Hannigan with a strange tone, and then his tone became even more strange: "I also know that she wasn't actually killed by you. The... She was poisoned before. In order to restore her strength, she used the protective magic circle here. It was probably some way that I didn't know to restore her strength, but it took her life - that is to say, although she lost I gave it to you, but you didn't kill it yourself."
"What do you want to say?" Thorhannigan was calm.
"What I want to say is, I will seek revenge from you." Xia Ya's tone was still so calm, he looked into the eyes of God Emperor Odin: "Although she said before she died that you didn't kill her... But no matter what. , she died because of you after all, if you didn't kill her, she wouldn't have to give her life to go back to the magic circle. So... although you didn't kill her with your own hands, she died because of you after all."
"I said, if you want revenge, I..."
Xia interrupted Sol Hannigan's words again, and he still looked into Sol Hannigan's eyes so calmly: "I also know that she was the one who troubled you first, and it was she who went to Austria. Ding, this grievance can be considered to have been provoked by her... It's understandable that you are killing me now... Even if it was me, I might have done more cruel, more extreme and more extreme things than you. But... I still haven't done anything wrong. Way to forgive you. Although I don't think you've actually done anything wrong, although... you're still my wife's father."
"You don't need to care about these." Sol Hannigan said lightly.
"Yes, so I didn't plan to worry about that." Xia Ya's tone seemed very sincere: "So, I decided to avenge you because of one thing: she is my mother. This one is enough. You say Right?"
"It's enough." Sol also looked into Char's eyes: "So what?"
"So... can you please wait for me here for a while?" Xia Ya's tone was serious, sincere, and more absurd, as if he was not talking to an enemy, but calmly discussing something: "I'm going to bury her now, can you wait for me here for a while?"
After a pause, he looked at Sol: "I know, anyway, you are not His Majesty the Emperor Odin now. You should have a lot of time. If you have nothing to leave in a hurry, please wait for me for a moment. I Come back in a while, okay?"
"...Yes." Thor Hannigan seemed to smile - he didn't understand what this guy meant, but for the proud Thor Hannigan, he didn't care about it, and he didn't care about it at all.
"Thank you, I won't make you wait for a long time." Xia Ya actually looked very polite.
He was about to walk towards the back of the palace with Saint Laurent Garros in his arms. Merlin and Sophia quickly followed, Merlin whispered, "Char, you..."
"I'm fine." Xia Ya looked back at Merlin, and then at Aunt Sophia: "I'll bury her first."
"What do you mean by what you said to Sol, you want revenge?!" Merlin whispered, "You..."
"I'm not his opponent, I know." Char shrugged.
"then you… "
However, Xiaya stopped talking, but hurried towards the back holding Saint Laurent Garros directly.
Passing through the empty city lord's palace, all the way up the mountain, I came to the altar.
Xi Ya found an open space behind the altar, then dug a tomb with a fire fork, put down the body of Saint Laurent Garros, and buried the tomb with his own hands.
During the whole process, he didn't say a word, didn't say a word, didn't let others interfere, and even Nene was pulled aside by him.
When Xi Ya finished all this, he cut a piece of stone from the palace wall of the altar next to him, cut it into a rectangle with a fire fork, and inserted it in front of the tomb.
Xiaya hesitated for a while, as if thinking about something, and finally took the fire fork and engraved the words on the tombstone.
"The last guardian of the holy city is buried here, may she rest in peace."
Below is a line of small characters: "Your son, Xia Yaleiming"
After doing this, Xia Ya seemed to let out a long breath. There were dirt, sweat, tears, and blood on his face, all mixed into a ball. He looked at Merlin and hesitated for a moment: "Can you please..."
Merlin sighed: "Okay, I will set up a magic circle here, so that her rest will not be disturbed, but it will take some time, and it will also require some materials to arrange the matrix."
"I think this holy city should be able to find the magic materials it needs." Nene said boldly: "There should be a warehouse in the palace of the city lord's mansion..."
Merlin looked at Xi Ya: "What about you? What are you going to do with Sol right away?"
"Don't worry, I won't do stupid things."
Xia Ya hesitated and pondered, then he looked at a few people, and finally his eyes fell on Nene, and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I have to leave for some time."
Nene changed color suddenly, she immediately went up and grabbed Xia Ya's arm: "What did you say?! What do you mean by that?!"
"I said, I want to leave for a while." Xia Ya's tone was very calm: "Please do me a favor, stay here, and arrange the magic circle here with Lord Merlin, okay?"
Nene became more and more anxious: "You... you... what are you going to do? Don't do stupid things, he is too powerful, you simply... "
"Of course I won't do stupid things." Xia Ya said slowly: "Of course I know his strength, even if ten of me are tied together, it is far from his opponent. So, I didn't plan to find him desperately now. ."
"Xia Ya." Aunt Sophia said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do!"
"Do what I need to do." Xia Ya looked at Aunt Sophia with a respectful tone: "I know, I can trust you, and Lord Merlin, so her tomb..."
"You're really not going to tell us what you want to do?" Aunt Sophia narrowed her eyes.
Xia closed her mouth.
Then he smiled lightly, bowed deeply to the three women in front of him, and finally hugged Neene gently: "I have my own plans... You arrange the magic circle here, and then, just Go home, go back to the north, and wait for me at ease, okay?"
Nene wept: "You... Xia Ya, you bastard, don't scare me, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?!"
Xia Ya stopped talking, gently wiped the tears on Neine's face, turned around and left!
He walked fast, Nene screamed, and flew after him. Sophia and Merlin looked at each other and chased after him.
Xiaya ran back to the palace and walked to Sol's side, and then he whispered: "Let's get out of here... You can get rid of the people here, just leave the two of us, you can do it Yes, right."
Sol Hannigan glanced at Xia, and although he was a little puzzled, he finally nodded.
When Nene and Merlin Sophia were chasing from behind, they saw Char and Sol standing together and talking in a low voice, and then Char raised his head and smiled at the three women...
Sol Hannigan's palm was on Char's body, and the two suddenly disappeared from the spot!
"It's not teleportation!" Merlin immediately changed his color and said, "Bastard! Sol broke the space! Where did they go?! That bastard boy of Xia, what the hell is he going to do!!"
As she said that, she suddenly shouted towards Hasting: "You just stood there? Why didn't you stop him just now?!"
Hastings met Merlin's gaze: "Why stop it?"
"You?!" Merlin was at a loss for words, and then angrily said, "Why didn't you stop it?!"
"Since he has his own plans, why stop him." Hastings shook his head: "Although this guy is a bit reckless at times, but looking at him just now... He has clearly calmed down, and the decisions he makes after calming down are generally the same. I won't let myself suffer too much. And... I can understand his current mood."
Merlin was speechless.
Nene suddenly became weak and sat on the ground crying bitterly.
…
When Xiaya opened his eyes, he found that he and Sol Hannigan were already standing in a jungle. The surrounding lush and tall trees clearly showed that the two were standing in the Chaos Territory. somewhere in the forest.
He took a deep breath, feeling the pain all over his body.
Obviously, this kind of ability to break through the space and directly cross the domain is not something that anyone can endure - especially through the cracks in the space, the painful tearing feeling, if not for the strength of Thor Hannigan next to him. He, I am afraid that he has long been torn to pieces by the turbulent flow in the space crack.
(The gap between realms is actually so far away.)
Charya smiled bitterly in her heart.
It should be very far from the holy city, he jumped up easily, and crossed the height of the woods, only to see that the mountain in the holy city was really far away.
"You can rest assured." Sol Hannigan waited for Xia to land and said: "They haven't reached their realm, and they can't break the distance to directly chase after them... Of the few people left, only Merlin can barely do it, but she The realm is only the small Yuan realm, it is impossible to catch up with my power, so we cannot capture our location."
After a pause, Sol Hannigan stared at Xi Ya's eyes: "What do you want to say, you can say it now."
Xia laughed - he actually laughed!
He looked into the eyes of God Emperor Odin and said a word in a very determined and serious tone.
"I think, please teach me, teach me strength, teach me how to break through the current state, teach me how to gain greater strength, teach me how to catch up with you!"
Sol was a little surprised: "...like the teacher and the disciple?"
"Just like the teacher and the disciple!" Xia Ya nodded firmly.
"… why?"
"Why not?" Xia Ya asked back, "I've heard of the grudge between you and Aunt Sophia. Didn't you accept the teaching of Aunt Sophia's father, and finally challenged him, and then Aunt Sophia's father died at your hands. Isn't that the tradition of your Odins all along."
"I mean, why should I teach you." Sol narrowed his eyes.
"Because, don't you want to pursue a higher realm? Haven't you always wanted to find an opponent that satisfies you?" Xia seemed to be smiling: "Saint Laurent Garros' strength is closest to yours, but she is dead now. Of the remaining people, only Merlin has surpassed the realm of the strong, but you have said it yourself that she is too extreme and has no potential to reach your realm."
Speaking, he pointed to his nose: "But I'm different, I'm young, I'm only in my twenties now, youth means potential, and... Because of my hatred for you, I will work hard to train myself, I I will force myself to keep moving forward, and finally surpass you, defeat you, and kill you!" After a pause, he looked at Sol Hannigan's eyes provocatively: "Just ask, where do you go to find the second one? A potential opponent like me?"
Even, what he said was even more explicit: "You have to tell me all your true meanings and profound meanings about power, so that I can understand you to the greatest extent while learning and improving! Know everything about you, what you are good at, Your weaknesses, your strengths, your habits... blah blah blah, everything! In the end, I'm going to be a very, very annoying opponent! An opponent who has grown up with considerable strength and knows all about you opponents with strengths and weaknesses—the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it will be for someone like you?"
Thor Hannigan smiled—he kept staring into Char's eyes, and then made sure the kid wasn't crazy or talking crazy.
He is serious!
"Don't you refuse?" Xia Ya sighed: "Then I'll take it as your agreement."
Sol was still smiling.
"Actually... You don't have to laugh so early." Xia Ya said lightly: "I'm not a gentleman, all my intentions are to kill you... and kill you by any means! So... I will try my best to improve my strength. , but... I will also look for all possible opportunities! When we are together, you have to be careful when you eat and sleep, maybe I will look for opportunities all the time, maybe in a sip of the wine you drink, there is something specially designed to deal with the strong. Toxic... I'm not some kind of guy with the demeanor of a master, I'm just a despicable villain."
Thor Hannigan sneered.
"It's very challenging." Xia took a deep breath: "Then let's get out of here now... Am I asking you for advice now?"
The two turned and walked towards the woods to the west. Sol finally said, "What do you want to ask?"
"What level of power can kill you?"
Sol Hannigan glanced at Xi Ya: "You still can't understand your realm."
"Is it the realm of God?" Xia Ya asked: "The realm of God is above Dayuan, can the power of the realm of God kill you?"
"… Maybe."
Xiaya seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, it's been a whole day of fighting, aren't you hungry? How about we get something to eat?"
Sol seems to be very surprised by Xiaya's attitude: "You are the strangest guy I have ever seen."
"No matter how good you are, you still have to eat and poop." Xia Ya pouted: "Do you like red bean cakes?"
His tone was meaningful: "I know a guy who likes to eat red bean cakes."
