Violet and the Thorn Bird

Chapter 35 In The Darkness

Gal was in the dark.

This is a familiar place, where he was conceived and born, and he didn't know how long he stayed there.Here you can't feel the flow of time, nor can you feel any touch, he is just a touch of consciousness.

He seemed to be a wanderer floating in the deep sea, in this extremely lonely place he even forgot who he was.

Maybe he was nobody at all.

Gall's eyes snapped open, he stared straight at the ceiling, gasped heavily, and then clutched his chest.The heart is beating again, the control of the body is quickly restored, and the shackles in the left eye are gradually weakened and hidden.

"You woke up a little late." Borg sat on a chair beside him, "The coffin has been ordered."

"...Don't be stingy." Gal took a deep breath, "One day I will need it."

"You can do it now." Borg reached out and pulled his face across his face, staring into his eyes. "I almost believed you were dead."

"Nearly." Gal laughed lowly, "But you've been sitting here, you've been waiting for me."

"Wait how to get your soul back," Borg said, "and tie it and enjoy it."

Blonde hair brushed slightly against Gal's forehead, and the two were very close.Borg's eyes told him he meant it, and Gal braced himself.

"Oh yeah." Gal frowned at him, "Can't you just tell me you're worried?"

"I'm not worried," Borg said.

"How long have you been sitting here?" Gal asked. "A day or two?"

"One minute," Borg replied.

"It doesn't look like a minute," Gall said.

"You look dead," Borg said. "Your heart stopped for a long time. The devil's trick?"

"I swear I won't play like this." Gal laughed, "Your devil is not free."

"Because he belongs to me," Borg said, "including death."

"Wow." Gal exclaimed a little, "You mean you will occupy me like this after I die? I almost think you are in love with me."

"You can think of it this way," Borg said. "People like to call bigotry affectionate and give it too many names, and that doesn't work for me. I want you to be mine, soul and death. "

"Then you must have misunderstood something." Gal shrugged, "I'm afraid this is not love."

"I have never misunderstood my desires." Borg said softly and coldly. "I know what I am doing better than anyone else. I have countless reasons for me to continue doing this. I obey myself. Don't try to use simple words. Define it, and you understand the complexity of being human."

"No." Gal blinked at him, "Maybe you just want to surpass Xia Ge, surpass the man who killed the Demon King, and accomplish what he can never do. I keep thinking why you have such a thing for the 'Devil King' So much tolerance, when we entered the place of the Violet I clearly sensed that you hated every inch of land and every stork here. They told you about the bravery of Shagog, repeating 'You will live your life Buried by Shaggo's light', oh my god, that sounds like puke, let the name Shaggo go to hell, Borg doesn't need to be his son, because Borg won't bow to any light. You ever Abandoning the sword is not to be deceived by the illusion, but to understand the cruelty of the truth. That sword is famous among mankind, and it has always been a heavy burden in your heart. You hate Xia Ge so much that you even disdain his sword Touch." Gal's green eyes mirrored Borg's silence, "Instead of being the man who killed the devil again, how about letting the devil destroy everything? Look, such a guy belongs to you... It feels really good, It just makes me go crazy.”

Borg didn't intend to speak. He has always been silent on this issue, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about Gal's guess.

"But I have to tell you something," Gall said, "a shocking secret."

"All ears," Borg said.

"Oh no, you gotta pay me a little," Gal said. "A little."

"Okay." Borg leaned over and kissed his forehead, and this time it was just a touch away, "Let's talk."

"..." Gal said, "I didn't want to enjoy your kisses!"

"But you are very happy." Borg said lightly, "'I don't want' and 'I have enjoyed it' are not in conflict. You have to do things when you get paid. This is a contract. Say it quickly."

"...The Burning Fire is not a sword forged by the fire god Ankele himself. He is a big, bold and foolish man who does not know special skills. This sword and the Daybreak Blade are both from the god of the earth. In other words, That is, they were all selected from the abyss.”

"You're reminding me of something," Borg said.

"The 'swallowing' of the Daybreak Blade is definitely not a divine ability." Gal paused, "This characteristic comes from the abyss. The devil is the eternal master of the abyss. On my left hand, I surrender to the magic snake man, and under my right hand stands the evil dragon knight, the magic forest And Farewell Cliff forms a natural barrier to the Lost Canyon, and I live on the Throne of the Abyss all year round... It is written in the story, because Xia Ge told the king so when he brought back the heart, but unfortunately, this guy lied again Words. But this is not important to you, I just want to tell you that the burning fire does not belong to Xia Ge, it is free, so you should get your sword back, so as not to be in danger again... I hope you can live to two hundred years old."

"'Swallow' comes from the abyss?" Borg suddenly said, "I don't have this ability in the fire."

"But it is not afraid of devouring." Gal said, "so Vulcan and the God of Daybreak are close. In a way, Burning Fire and Daybreak Blade are also 'brothers'."

"You came here to get back the lost part, but you advised me to get back the long sword that can kill you." Borg said, "What is the devil trying to do?"

"Save the world." Gal said seriously, "I'm saving the world, baby, really."

"Maybe you should lie down a little longer," Borg said.

"I'm awake!" Gal said. "Well, you don't believe it, and I don't believe it, of course. This time is bad enough, and I'm never going to leave you at night again!"

"I hope you will do what you say," Borg said.

"But I also found something interesting because of it." Gal said, "I thought the Vulcan's curse was in the left eye of this body, but when I lost the right to rule the body and returned to a familiar place... I found that it was originally related to I am inseparable."

"Someone carved it into your soul." Borg stroked his left eye.

"Yes, only one can do it."

The two paused for a second and said at the same time.

"Stoke Chagoll."

Only this man can dig out the heart of the devil, and has the strength comparable to the pope.He once also inherited the mark of Vulcan, and even had real contact with the last true god, An Keli, when the twilight of the gods came.In this way, the Borg's ability to ease the shackles is not surprising.

"Why would he do that." Gal covered Borg's hand and covered his left eye, "He's already taken my heart..."

Randolph stood in front of the holy stone, looking at the plain long sword stuck in the stone.This sword has no decorations, its only luxury is its scabbard, and unlike the Dawn Blade, the Earth God seems to have forgotten to add ornateness when forging it.

"I will collect a better sword for you."

Arthur stood behind him, with his hands behind his back, a smile on his pale face, "You always look at it, longer than you look at me."

"Nothing can surpass your place in my heart." Randolph turned around and knelt down on one knee, "Including this sword... Your Majesty."

"There's no one else here." Arthur was very thin, and his robes made him look like a teenager who hadn't graduated yet, but the crown on his head showed that he was already a lion on the throne.

He walked over to Randolph. "I still like it when you call me Arthur, like we've always done."

Randolph's raised palm fell into Arthur's hand, and he kissed Arthur's fingertips reverently.

"You're not happy to be back this time." Arthur said worriedly. "Borg found other troubles for you? Your sister told me that he has entered the kingdom."

"He has a pass." Randolph said, "I am currently the only one responsible for the arrest task. Except for the temple and your orders, no one can arrest him at will."

"Is this what troubles you?" asked Arthur.

"...No." Randolph looked at Arthur, but he didn't complain casually as usual. He treated Arthur like a precious thing, protected Arthur behind him, and didn't even say a bad word to Arthur.

"Don't make me guess." Arthur smiled, "I always fail to guess."

"Being able to come back to you alive is enough for me." Randolph smiled, "I... miss you very much."

"So we've been together all this time," said Arthur. "Until you go away next time, shall we?"

"It is my honor." Randolph kissed his fingertips again. "My king."

Randolph was leaving the king's chambers before dawn, and he would be by Arthur's side every night, but God knows he never crossed the line.He hurried down the steps, and before dawn he got into a carriage and left the palace.

"Come up." The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Randolph pushed open the door, ordering Sig who had been sitting all night, "You'd better hurry up."

"Where do you want to take me?" Seeger asked.

"The place you most want to go." Randolph closed the door.

The carriage quickly crossed the street and stopped at Randolph's brothel, and there were servants waiting when they got off.

"You want that snake girl," Randolph said. "I'll give her back to you. You'd better take her away immediately. As for how to keep her from being bullied, that's what you should do."

"Is this your apology? As an apology for taking away my family badge and expelling me from the Knights." Sig put the epee back on his back, and he glanced at Randolph, "I want to see His Majesty the King .”

"Don't make demands on me." Randolph said impatiently, "Take her and get out immediately! A life is worth a life."

"I submitted the instructions to the temple, but they agreed to the request to take the badge of Jodont. What did I do wrong in Ice Lake City?" Sig stopped, "I just want to ask His Majesty the King, ask the bishop My lord, I need a reason!"

"Reason? Who do you think will give it to you? Idiot!" Randolph said irritably. "Stupid innocence! There is no need for a reason to take the badge of Jodont, just because you can no longer bear the name of 'Shield of Humanity'. Do you understand? Both the temple and I think you are not good! Go home and grow potatoes!"

"You're deceiving your Majesty!" Said Sig. "What more do the greedy Greens want! You've become the biggest predator here! I know you've dumped diseased snakemen in the slums! You're taking them as money tool, and throw it away!"

"Yes," said Randolph. "Yes! This is power, this is money, and I can do what I want."

Seeger grabbed Randolph's collar violently, and he said angrily, "You are not a knight at all! You are just a businessman! There is no moral bottom line!"

"Whatever you want to call it." Randolph pushed him away and straightened his collar. "Before I change my mind, you'd better take her away as soon as possible."

The servants hurriedly dragged Sig away, Randolph's chest heaved, and he looked into Sig's eyes with contempt.

Stupid Jodont.

Randolph muttered silently.

He was the last to know about the seizure of the Jodont family badge, the cooperation between Arthur and Roseanne was beyond his imagination, and he was even the last to receive the decision that Sig was kicked out of the Knights.

Seeger saved his life.

...He didn't think about letting Seager lose his family glory.

Randolph violently kicked over the side decorations.

Sig was dragged to the basement, and the servant opened the innermost cage for him.

"My lord is here." The servant said happily, "The person you want is here, and now you can take her away."

The most beautiful scales Seeger had ever seen was on this man's tail, but when he saw the girl clearly, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Her long hair hangs over her bare shoulders, a golden bell is nailed to her tail, and the places where the scales are missing are pitted.Her ignorant expression has long been indifferent, and those eyes no longer reflect unknown fear, but endless numbness.

"What did you do to her?" Seeger clenched his fists, "What did you do to a girl?!"

"Excuse me, my lord." The well-trained servant said calmly, "You seem to have used the wrong word. She is not a 'girl', but a 'humanoid'. She needs to eat every day she stays here, but our Gold coins did not fall from the sky, she needs to pay for her own life, so she has to pay a price. You see, she is still alive and well, I guarantee she is not sick."

Seeger lifted the servant up, and the thin young man had amazing strength.He pressed the servant against the cage, "She is not cargo, they are not! They can talk, they have wisdom! You can't treat them like this, let Randolph stop! Enough! He has earned the most money!"

"It's not up to me." The servant said easily, "You can talk to the master and wish you success. Also, do you want her? I suggest you take her away before dawn, because the snake people are the kingdom now The best-selling and extravagant goods, it is never a good idea for you to show her around the market. Even if you carry a sword."

Seeger stared at the servant, and then let go after a long while.He took off his coat, wrapped the girl up, and quickly left here with her in his arms.

And yet there were numb stares in every cage he passed.
