Cloche listened quietly to Yang Yu's story, and one scene after another gradually appeared before his eyes.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Cloki, listen to me. This kid, Laux, has been in his room for three days. He respects you the most. Please go and say a few words to him."
Walking into the dim room, I saw a thin little boy curled up in the corner.
Hearing the voice, the little boy raised his head slightly with a dull look in his eyes. As soon as he met his eyes, he shrank into the corner.
"Laux, I want to talk to you."
“.”
"I heard that a body was found outside the village."
The little boy grabbed his hair tightly, buried his head deeper into his knees, and trembled all over.
"It's not my fault, it's definitely not my fault, it's all that guy's fault. He's not much older than me, but he acts so superior and keeps calling me a dwarf.
What's even more infuriating is that he bullied Xiaohua and called himself "
As he spoke, the little boy couldn't help crying, suddenly stood up and threw himself into his arms.
after that.
"Uncle, I want to become stronger. Please teach me how to become stronger."
"Why do you suddenly want to become stronger?"
"Because I have decided to become a hero. Tell me, what should a true hero be like?"
after that.
"Have you really decided, Laux? You want to live away from the village and live alone."
"Yes. Finding reliable partners is also part of becoming a qualified hero."
"I don't have anything good to give you, so I'll just give you this sword that has been with me for many years.
This sword is very special. As long as you gather all the materials, it will never be damaged.
Of course, it can't compare to a real holy sword."
"I'll accept such a valuable thing, thank you uncle."
after that.
"Wait, Cloche! This job is too dangerous. I will never allow you to do it."
"Sister, if I don't do it, then Rocks will definitely..."
after that.
"Uncle, what on earth is going on? What on earth is causing this miserable situation?"
"Laux, as you can see, I am now a cadre of the Demon King. I killed them all."
Perhaps I made a pretty bad choice.
But, that's the best solution I can think of.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Long time no see, uncle."
"Long time no see. I told you the truth. Now it's my turn to know the truth, right?"
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Laux. This is all my fault."
The last time I saw Laux, the little boy he once was had already become an old man. His eyes were deep and firm, as if nothing could shake his determination.
The cowardly and tearful Laux actually had such an expression.
Time can really change a person a lot.
At that time, the only thing Cloch could do was to keep apologizing and then accept the mission of guarding the [Hall of Power].
Although he wanted to ask Laux what adventures he had gone through after his death, Cloche knew that he had no right to learn from Laux about his adventures over the years.
In Cloche's heart, there has always been an unrealistic yet extremely beautiful fantasy.
The devil was finally defeated, and the family sat happily around the fire. However, it was not Cloche who told his adventure story, but Laux who returned triumphantly, who told his own adventure story.
"I can't believe he has become a true hero."
After listening to Yang Yu's story, Kloche sighed deeply, but didn't seem that surprised.
"Since then, he has started to grow at an astonishing rate, and it was not surprising that this day would come."
Observing Cloche, Yang Yu could see Cloche's extremely satisfied smile.
Even though he had just said that he had massacred his own village, he was still listening to Laux's adventure stories with great interest.
Yang Yu seemed to have sensed something that could be dug up, and cautiously probed:
"I have told you everything I know.
You and Laux are from the same hometown. I have conquered so many of Laux's mazes and gradually wanted to know the story behind this brave man.
Could you please tell me the story you remember about Laux?"
“Laux has made his own contribution to the world, and it is good to pass it on.
What I know about Laux
Perhaps, I never really understood him.
So even if you ask me to tell you a few stories about Laux, I really can’t tell you.”
Kloche politely declined.
Yang Yu was not in a position to continue asking, so he could only find another way.
"Then can you tell me about your life?"
After a moment's silence, Cloche folded his hands and smiled.
"It was a boring story about an unknown weakling struggling in pain.
There will be nothing to record my name, or the names of other soldiers who fought in that war.
I am both a human and a former officer of the Demon King's army.
This identity is special enough.
However, in our time, this identity was not special at all, but rather quite common.
Even though I have betrayed humanity, it is far from enough for me to be infamous for eternity.
My story is like a grain of sand, which will be blown away from history and disappear without a trace."
"But what you did also indirectly affected history, and the impact of this history must have affected many other people."
"You are really good at talking. But..."
Clochi vaguely overlapped Yang Yu's figure with the immature figure in his memory, but as soon as they overlapped, the two figures naturally staggered.
Although he said similar words, the young man in front of him was completely different from Laux.
I wonder if Laux will show a similar expression to the boy in front of him when he overcomes all obstacles and kills the demon king.
Probably not possible!
When Laux's sword pierced his chest, even though Laux had grown a lot, Cloche knew that deep down, Laux was still immature and weak.
If my death can make him stronger and a little closer to being a true hero, then my death will be more meaningful.
That's what I thought when I died.
But no one can tell what kind of impact it has brought to Laux.
"But this is a story that can only be told later."
Cloche stood up from the ground, spread his arms, and said with a smile:
"Off topic, I've said a little too much.
I ask again, who do you want as your opponent
If you come for power, then take on the four demon statues as your opponents.
If you just came here by mistake and have no desires or requests, then all you need to do is defeat me.
Okay, make your choice!
Are you thirsty for the power contained in this maze?"
