Lin Yining brought Yu Sen to the fighting area, which was the largest in the entire underground. After spending some time underground, Lin Yining somehow memorized the underground road. If he guessed correctly, if there was anything wrong with the two brothers, it must be here that got the news first.
The atmosphere in the combat area is obviously different from that of the outside. People here have a little bit of strength, and they obviously know more about the outside world than ordinary people who only know panic. Therefore, in addition to depression, there is more passive madness here.
Lin Yining took Yu Sen to find a place to sit down, and after a while, a peddler came over and asked with a smile, "Do you want wine?"
"It's so dangerous, you still want to make money." Yu Sen looked at him and smiled: "You can spend it?"
"What's going on now? What does it have to do with us? Can the big man be in trouble? Can the sky really fall?" The peddler said nonchalantly, "Besides, if you really think that tomorrow is the end, why don't you have to drink today?" ?"
Hearing what he said, Lin Yining took out a few silver coins and threw them to him. The peddler took out two bottles of wine from his pocket and gave them to Lin Yining, smiling: "I have a lot of money, the rest is for you."
Lin Yining brought the wine, but without answering, he threw a bottle to Yu Sen, took the bottle himself, opened it, and sniffed it twice.
"It's not a good wine." He didn't intend to drink this unknown thing. Lin Yining was not addicted to alcohol, and he didn't have much feeling for this thing. He paid more because he wanted to send the vendor away.
He turned his head again, only to see Yu Sen staring at the wine bottle with subtle eyes.
The wine bottle dissolved in his hand.
His eyelids sank and he fell asleep.
.
When Lin Yining woke up again, he didn't know where he was. Judging from the architectural style, it seemed that he was still in Lynn City, but this city was much more peaceful than before the tower fell asleep.
It is dusk now, and the smoke from the houses in the houses rises from the chimneys. With the afterglow of the setting sun, people who finished their work talked and laughed and went home. He confirmed that the people in front of him couldn't see him, so he had no choice but to walk forward. He believed that there should be clues ahead.
There was an inexplicable feeling that pulled him forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the moon rose. He turned into a dirty alley, and saw two children in front of him, probably a pair of twins, they looked alike, one of them was lying on the ground in a daze, and the other was holding dirty food in his hand , ran over excitedly.
"Lorraine, Lorraine, wake up, I have something to eat." The child who came over with the food shook the brother awake from the ground, carefully broke off a clean piece of food from his hands, and whispered: "You know how to be particular, clean, eat."
The young Lorraine woke up, grabbed the food, took a small bite, and said, "I don't have an appetite, eat yours quickly."
Seaman swallowed, but still insisted: "You are sick, you eat."
Lin Yining looked at the two children looking at each other, smiled, and ate the dirty bun one by one. It was too small, not enough to fill the two children's stomachs, and the entrance of the food aroused their hunger feeling even more. The two children pitifully got together and survived another night.
The next day, good things happened to them. The Holy See's team found them, and the kind guard decided to take them to the orphanage. There, Lin Yining saw the younger version of the Knight Commander.
"Your Excellency, Knight Commander, hello." The simple and honest guard greeted him: "I found two homeless children outside..."
The knight commander looked at the trembling Lorraine and Seaman, and said, "Take them for a test."
"I've done it." The guard wondered: "There is a child with dense dark elements. I'm afraid he is not suitable to stay in the orphanage. I am going to take him to ask the dean what to do."
"Oh?" The knight commander became interested. If one of the twins has a dark element, then the other must have a light element. His eyes turned around the two children, and finally stopped on Seaman. He asked the guard: "How is this kid's aptitude?"
"They are all first-class." The guard wanted to say something nice for them, but he didn't know how to say it.
The knight commander knelt down and asked Seaman, "Would you like to be my child?"
"Chief Knight?" The guard asked in surprise, "Do you want to adopt him?"
"Yes." The knight commander asked again patiently: "Would you like to call me Dad?"
Seaman was a little timid, but he still summoned up his courage and said, "I don't want to... I don't want to be separated from my brother. If you want to adopt us together, I will call you Dad."
The knight commander smiled gently at him: "Are you brother?"
"Yes." Seaman replied.
"Then you have to know that the elder brother is going to protect the younger brother." The knight commander encouraged him: "You are not a child who doesn't know anything, you know, if you call me daddy in the future, then you will have a better future." way to protect him, no?"
Lorraine was very nervous and took Seaman's hand.
Seaman bit his lower lip, but still said: "Sorry, I want to live with my brother."
"He is willing." Lorraine said suddenly. Although he still tightly held his elder brother's hand, he still said firmly, "He is willing."
Seaman looked at him in surprise.
The knight commander stretched out a hand and grabbed Lorraine: "Aren't you afraid to be separated from your brother?"
"No, I'm not afraid." Lorraine said firmly, "Sir, he is a good boy, and he will definitely not let you down."
"I don't want it!" Seaman said loudly, "You are so picky and self-willed, what would you do if I wasn't by your side?"
"Don't worry about it." He took his hand out of the knight commander's hand, hid behind the guards, and said, "Sir, let's go, he has found his new home."
It seemed that Ximan's hands still had the remaining warmth of his brother, which made him very sad. The knight commander asked him again: "Are you willing to go with me now?"
"Where will my brother be sent?" Seaman asked.
"We usually help him find an ordinary family to adopt." The knight commander explained patiently.
In Lin Yining's eyes, such a warm scene finally ended in the eyes of the two brothers looking at each other.
There was a gust of wind blowing by his side, Lin Yining's eyes went dark again, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in another place.
This is probably a few years later - judged by Seaman. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy already had some unrestrained temperament. Lin Yining followed him to the residence of the knight commander, rushed in when he saw him push the door, and asked, "Father, where is Lorraine?"
The knight commander said, "Be quiet first."
From their conversation, Lin Yining heard that Lorraine suddenly disappeared after staying in the home of his adoptive parents who were ordinary people for several years. Seaman has been begging his adoptive father to find out the whereabouts of his brother, and now, he probably found it.
The knight commander said: "He is underground, and now he is the adopted son of the person in charge of the underground."
Seaman was stunned suddenly.
"You know, the relationship between the Holy See and the underground is very delicate. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you that easily." The knight commander said: "Besides, even if you ask the person in charge to give up this adopted son, what can we do? He is now a Dark Mage, you are the quasi-holy son, do you want to get in touch with him like before?"
"Why not?" Seaman said.
"I respect your point of view, but I hope you can understand it." The knight commander stood up, patted his adopted son on the shoulder, and said, "Finally, you also need to know that after living underground for several years, he is very likely and It's not the younger brother you remember."
Seaman pursed his lips and rushed out again.
Lin Yining followed him, heard that he had inquired about his younger brother, followed him, and stepped underground for the first time.
There, Seaman met his long-lost brother.
The 12-year-old and 13-year-old Lorraine Lin Yining saw was not as sleek as a hundred years later, nor as arrogant as an eighteen-year-old adult, with a pale face, following behind a young man. Before Ximan could go over to recognize his relatives, he saw helplessly that he was slapped across the face.
Lorraine let the slap marks on his face become red and swollen, and said nothing.
He was about to rush over, but suddenly thought of something, he gritted his teeth and stayed where he was.
After the beating youth left, Seaman finally found his chance and grabbed Lorraine. Lorraine might have thought it was someone from the underground, with a fake smile on his face, but when he turned around and found that it was Seaman, the smile on his face faded a little bit.
"I'll take you away," he said.
"Who are you?" Lorraine took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his face, and said lightly, "Go out with you and watch you live a glorious life? I want to stay here."
Seaman hurriedly said: "I know, you are not such a person..."
"We have been separated for five years." Lorraine looked at him coldly: "If you know what kind of life I have lived in these five years, then you will not doubt that I am indeed such a person."
"Are you blaming me?" Seaman asked as if he had been hit by something.
"No, I just hope you have a little self-knowledge, you are too lenient." Lorraine pushed him away, turned and left, leaving him behind with infinite regret.
Ximan returned home in a state of distress, and his father was just preparing the meal and bringing it over. The beaten boy floated limply into the kitchen to help his father prepare the meals.
The knight commander is a middle-aged widow, and the relationship between father and son is actually not bad. Seeing Heman like this, the knight commander knew what he had done and ignored him.
He is a tolerant father, and he didn't persuade his children.
The next day, Seaman went to Lorraine again. This time, he found that Lorraine was being punched and kicked in a corner. He didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed up and drove those people away.
Lorraine lay on the ground without moving for a long time.
"Did you come to see my joke?" he said.
Ximan bit his lip, didn't say anything, just stood there silently with his head down.
"If you really feel guilty, then do me a favor." Lorraine got up, wiped the ashes from his face, and said, "There are a few people who don't have ID cards. You let them in."
Seeing Lorraine's leaving figure, Seaman froze in place and never left.
This is like the open ending of a movie. After the scene in front of him was completed, Lin Yining suddenly found that he couldn't move. The surrounding scenery dispersed like dust, and a familiar person appeared in front of his eyes.
"Long time no see." The clown looked at him with a strange arc on his lips.
This is a pure white space with several sofas on the ground. Lin Yining randomly picked a sofa and sat down, and said, "We met not long ago. You played Lorraine that time underground."
The clown exaggerated: "I was discovered by you."
Lin Yining looked around and asked, "What about your script? What will happen to the two brothers?"
"Guess first," said the clown, "do you think he agreed?"
"Of course I agreed." Lin Yining said without hesitation: "Not only agreed, but also carried forward, and sold more than a hundred pieces of identity information in a month."
"That's right." The clown said, "The time is too short, and this is a very long story, so I won't show it to you. The ending of the scene just now is that Seaman's choice disappointed his knight captain father. , Slowly, his undisguised connection with the underground also disappointed everyone. He lost his qualifications to be the Holy Son and was gradually marginalized in the Holy See. Of course, he still tried his best to help Lorraine, of course, is within his high baseline."
"So?" Lin Yining said, "Show me this, what do you want to explain?"
"Player Welfare, I noticed that you have serious psychological problems, so I chose a touching scene in front of you, and I want you to be moved." The clown blinked and said.
Lin Yining folded his fingers, put them on his lap, and suddenly smiled: "Then I'm so touched."
"No need to be touched." The clown smiled: "This is what I should do—well, you should go too, remember to drink."
After he said this, Lin Yining found that he had returned to his original position. On the opposite side, Yu Sen still kept staring at the wine bottle.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yining asked.
"You didn't notice, what's inside?" Yu Sen asked.
So Lin Yining looked into the bottle and found two figures inside, one was Lorraine, and the other Lin Yining didn't know, it seemed that he should be the current person in charge of the underground.
Lorraine was miserable, very miserable.
They seemed to have hallucinations, and there was the sound of water in their ears, and through the sound of water, he heard the voice of the conversation.
"My child." The person in charge said, "I didn't expect that you still value your brother so much."
Lorraine's body was covered with blood, he could hardly stand still, but he still tried to stand up, and whispered: "Yes, father."
"Unfortunately, you let him go, we may not live until tomorrow." The person in charge said slowly: "Of course I cannot tolerate this happening, so he is back."
Lin Yining and the others saw Zheng Hua walking in with Ximan.
Lorraine's expression was so embarrassing that he couldn't imagine, he turned his face away and didn't look at his brother.
"You have done so many things for him, so this one is not bad." The person in charge said softly, "You are the Holy Son... Ah, although you are only one of the candidates, you should know how to go to the altar now." do it."
Seaman said stiffly: "With all due respect, I can't guarantee it. But if I don't succeed, please stop torturing him. Since we won't live until tomorrow, there is no point in doing so."
"No, this is to stimulate your potential." The person in charge said with a smile: "Go, child, I will arrange everything for you."
The image in the bottle disappeared, replaced by a light screen that appeared in each hall filled with survivors. The sad face of the person in charge appeared on the screen.
"I know that many of you may have some misunderstandings about the underground, but now, at the last moment, I want to say, please put aside your prejudices."
The screen shifted to Seaman.
He has already come out of the ground, and is carefully avoiding groups of monsters, walking towards the altar.
"This child, you may be familiar with it. You all said that he is the most unworthy Son of God, but now, he stands up, hoping to find a way to save everyone."
Seen it with my own eyes, experienced it with my own eyes, and only heard about it. These are three completely different experiences. Most of the ordinary people sitting here have already experienced the first two. When they saw Seaman moving towards When the altar was walking, many people burst into tears.
"Some people may ask, why is he the only one going to the altar, and the answer is that only he can save us all." The voice of the person in charge sounded like a voice-over, off-screen: "No one can deny that he has great respect for God. Absolutely loyal."
Seaman was bruised and bruised, and he finally reached the altar in the center of the city.
The monsters sensed something, dropped the prey in their mouths, and ran towards this side.
Including the bone dragon, Seaman was surrounded by overwhelming monsters. At this moment, his figure seemed indescribably small.
Many people lowered their heads, not daring to see him being torn apart by the monster.
Seaman put his hand on the side of the golden beam of light, his hand was not dissolved, but just stuck to the beam of light, but the beam of light was preventing him from entering.
"If he is the Son, can he go in? Then we will be saved?" A voice spread among the crowd: "Why don't we believe in such a brave young man?"
On the other side, Ximan's hand passed through the beam of light with difficulty.
Beside the central beam of light, layers of rings suddenly lit up. Accompanied by the voices of more and more determined believers, Ximan passed through the beam of light at a faster speed.
This stimulated the monsters on the periphery, and they became more and more crazy. The bone dragon wanted to rush through the outer ring, and the powerful body gave him the possibility of success. At the critical moment, Seaman's progress was a little faster.
"Roar!" The bone dragon roared angrily.
This could not stop Seaman at all, he finally, finally entered the interior of the beam of light. A circle of holy light enveloped him. At this moment, he seemed to understand something. He knelt beside the corpse and began to chant.
The golden thunder and lightning in mid-air dissipated with his movements, and the monsters on the ground retreated out of the city as if they had been expelled by something.
The crowd cheered after another, they finally got the first good news of the night.
But Lin Yining knew that it was not over yet.
The light screen in the hall was concentrated on the receding monster, only the light screen in front of Lin Yining was still on Ximan.
He stood in the center of the beam of light with a solemn expression.
A man stood opposite him.
"Hello, Your Royal Highness, we are the envoys of the saint."
The man pushed his glasses and said: "Everything you experienced tonight is the will of the saint. Feel the power in your body, do you understand everything tonight? The saint and your god are not in opposition , we would like to work with you to call back your god."
"Do you know how many people died tonight?" Seaman said, "The so-called saint...even the most evil evil god can't do such a thing."
"But your companion doesn't think so." The person who claimed to be the messenger took out a piece of paper with two names signed on it, one was the knight commander, and the other was... Lorraine.
"Your father has already signed the recall plan, and your brother has also signed on behalf of another major force in the city. Now the only thing left is you. Do you want to go against their wishes?"
Through the screen, Lin Yining saw his expression.
A blind and bewildered expression, as if abandoned by the world. Seaman picked up the pen and unconsciously drew a few times in mid-air.
He knew that Seaman would still sign the letter in the end, so that there would be a copy a hundred years later.
He also knew what Seaman would do after signing.
Lin Yining guessed it.
Seaman would leave, would exile himself, and become an old beggar outside the city.
Because the two people he loved and trusted the most failed him, they chose to compromise with the culprit who did everything, for Seaman, it was betrayal.
Even if he is apostate, Seaman is still loyal to God. He could die for his father and younger brother, but he could never accept their betrayal.
"Are you telling me, is there anyone trustworthy in this city?" Lin Yining muttered to himself, of course the you he was talking about was the clown.
The clown constructed a beautified image of Seaman, which was quite different from the crazy old beggar in Lin Yining's impression.
"Tell me that Seaman is not willing to compromise with the so-called saint, nor is he willing to participate in the conspiracy between Lorraine and the paladins, so what use will he be in the future?"
