from the past to the future

06

99 Yuma did not expect that this journey would be more difficult and longer than imagined. Recently, he has become more and more aware of the inconvenience of his old body in certain aspects. At this time, he can't help but sigh that time is really very short. Terrible thing.Ever since III was gone, Yuma gradually felt the strain of being alone.

The journey is still going on, but the two of them are no longer crowded together in a small tent, and the food prepared has changed from one month to two months before eating, and there is only one person walking forward alone on the road The footprints, the days when the two of you screamed and laughed together are long gone.

He originally thought that the journey of the two of them would have ended on the day III died.

After walking in the woods for a long time, he finally saw a small town. Just when Yuma was thinking about finally finding a place to rest well, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure on the street.At first, I thought it was a mistake, so I rubbed my eyes a few times, and then I was overjoyed. While running at a running speed that didn't suit his age, I raised my hand and called out to that person, "Shark!"

Ling Ya didn't expect to run into someone he knew in this place.And when he heard the name shark, he didn't quickly realize that it was calling him. It's just that in such a small town, it was called in Japanese again. I'm afraid there is only one person in this world. 99 Yuma, his lifelong friend.

"It's really a shark! It's been a long time!" Yuma gave his friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time a big hug, with wrinkles and a smile on his face, "Why did you come here suddenly? Ah! Could it be Akari Sister wants you to come and take me back? Then I have to run away quickly..."

"Don't talk to yourself, Yuma, I'm just here for a trip." Ling Ya smiled angrily, "Besides, when did you tell where you are in full? How could you be found. This time it was just a coincidence."

"Accidentally? Then you and I are very destined! But you are the only one...?" Yuma laughed heartily, then turned his head to look around, but found no one else.

"Probably." Ling Ya responded.

"Eh?" Yuma faintly sensed something was wrong, "But, Shark, you seem to be surrounded by someone. Is it an illusion?"

Ling Ya was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Did you feel it?"

"Hmm... It's very similar to III, but there are some differences." Yuma raised his hand to scratch his hair in trouble, and the yellow bracelet on his right wrist also came into Ling Fang's eyes.

Why Yuma also has...

Think carefully, if it was given to him by III before he died, does it mean that the soul is sealed like the one on Ling Ya's hand.If yes, does III, who has been dead for many years, stay in that bracelet like IV?

Yuma, do you know about this?

Ling Ya couldn't judge, he wasn't sure if there was such a possibility, and he didn't dare to tell Yuma about it rashly, but Yuma seemed to be able to sense the existence of IV, so he should be able to sense III too, right?

However, something is wrong.

Ling Ya felt something suddenly flashed through his mind. If Yuma knew that III's soul was still in this world and was so close to him, then the possible actions Yuma would take would be...

Ling Ya suddenly understood what he should do.

"Yuma, would you like to stay at the inn I'm staying at now, as there are still vacancies there."

"Wow! That's great! You can still take a shower! I almost forget when the last time I took a shower."

"Wow, you bastard." Thinking of the time his friend spent on the expedition, it was not difficult for Ling Ya to imagine when the "last time" was, "Go to my room first."

Yuma is nearly 70 years old now, but he still has the spirit of his 20s. Should it be because he is not an ordinary person? Surprisingly, he is no different from when he was young.When long-lost friends met, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries. After taking a comfortable bath, he felt refreshed and relaxed all over his body. Yuma lamented that his whole body had come back to life.

"By the way, I forgot to ask just now. Both Shamei and Drube are still in Japan? Didn't they come with you?"

"After all, there are jobs."

"Really, haha, it's really a pleasure to meet a shark, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Isn't it because you forget the time as soon as you start exploring, and every time you fail to arrive at the appointed time, your sister and Xiaoniao are so angry that they want to come to you."

"Hey! Don't! I can't escape the two of them together!"

"Are you serious? Don't worry, not everyone is as old as you and has the energy to run around the world."

"Aren't you a shark too?"

"Ahem, I'm different." Although he was also "a lot of age", Ling Ya moved away from the topic a little uncomfortably, "By the way, you still remember the mountain where we went to find Noka... ...the mountain with the ruins of Mizael, do you think it still exists?"

"Mizael's?" Yuma recalled, "I remember that at that time, the ruins really disappeared in front of us."

At that time, with the victory of Kaito, the arrival of Maizael, and the decision of the ownership of Noka, the mountain transformed from a golden dragon had disappeared.Like a mirage, it was just an illusion from the beginning.

"Does the shark want to go to the ruins?"

"Ah."

"Could it be that you want to put the No card back?"

"...Well, that's right." My friend's keen intuition.

"Hey..." Yuma smiled meaningfully, showing an expression that really did.

"Yuma?"

"Actually, Shark, I also climbed to that mountain a few days ago, and met Mizael."

"Is this true! Yuma!?" This is undoubtedly a shocking news, Mizael disappeared a long time ago, no one knows where he went, and he didn't say goodbye to anyone Pass.Even though he had obtained Balian's energy from Ling Ya before he left, it was only limited to this, and the energy would be used up one day, and in the past few decades, except for Lixu and Drube, everyone else They all age gradually according to the laws of nature. It can be seen that once Balian's energy is cut off, even if he still has weak power, the Seven Emperors will not be able to avoid the fate of aging.Although Mezael once established a connection with Ling Ya, but after such a long time apart, he doesn't know what will happen. "Mizael, how are you doing now?"

"Not bad, very energetic." Yuma smiled, "But I didn't expect him to raise dragons in such a place, I was really shocked!"

"Raising dragons?" Although Ling Ya already knew that Mizael was a dragon trainer in his previous life, he didn't expect that the reason for his departure was that he went back to his old job. It can be seen that his obsession with dragons is really not just a little bit. .Shouldn't you be here?

"Yuma."

"Ok?"

"Mizael is now..."

"Now?"

"...No, there is nothing." Ling Ya stopped talking, he thought that it would be better to see it with his own eyes, "You should take a good rest first, I'll go down and get you something to eat."

"Oh! Please Shark!"

Closing the door, Ling Ya's smiling expression went off as if he had pressed a power switch. He went downstairs first to order food delivery to his room, and when the management looked away, he quickly bypassed him and went from He jumped out of the open window, nimbly landed on the ground, and then ran quickly. By the time the manager turned around, he had already disappeared.

In order to be able to avoid passers-by, Ling Ya chose a narrow alley that few people pass through, and only when he was sure that no one passed by around him did he open the space channel for movement with confidence.Normally, he would never use his strength easily, but today is a little special, in order to be able to go back and forth at the fastest speed, he can only choose this way.Ling Ya felt the particleization that he hadn't experienced for a long time, and in just a few blinks, Ling Ya had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

IV also popped up at this time.He looked at the surrounding scenery, and at this distance, he could only see a little shadow of the small town, which was enough to imagine how far apart the two places were.

"Lingya, is it okay for you to come out without telling Yuma?"

"Are you worried about such things, IV, or are you concerned about the bracelet Yuma is wearing?"

"..." IV was not completely ignorant of the outside world when he was in the bracelet, it was like a special space inside, he could perceive, hear, and even see.So when he saw Yuma appearing, he really felt that the current time was really not the last time he remembered.Although he can't recognize Yuma's appearance, but when he gets along with Ling Ya, there is no part of his performance that is not unique to Yuma.The general sense of weightlessness that suddenly subverted the world he knew once again hit him, and what he should do next is still unknown.

And there is another thing.As Ling Ya said, he really cared about Yuma's bracelet, it undoubtedly belonged to his younger brother, III.If now is really the time when III has died as Ling Ya said, then whether there is III's soul preserved in that bracelet is a matter worth exploring.He was waiting for Ling Ya to speak in the bracelet, but after a few simple conversations, Ling Ya not only left Yuma in the hotel, but also planned to go somewhere alone. IV can guess that he intends to go to the ruins of the person named Mizael.

"I really care about it." IV replied, with unwillingness in his tone, "But now I can't do anything, not to mention, even if I appear in front of Yuma, he may not be able to see me."

"...The other party is that Yuma, do you think it is more likely that he can't see you?" Ling Ya stopped.He has almost approached those mountains, and I am afraid that the next road will have to be walked slowly.

"You must be thinking about something, Ling Ya."

"Did you notice it?"

"I just think you seem to be inspired by something, but I have no idea what you want to do."

Ling Ya didn't answer, he did think of what he should do as IV said, but that's not what he should do now.

Same as last time, Ling Ya had to climb to the top of the mountain by himself to discover the palace hidden there, although Ling Ya couldn't be sure if it was still there, but how would he know the result if he didn't try first.

"Why don't you just fly up?"

"If you're here, if you don't climb up with your own strength, His Royal Highness Jinlong won't easily receive us."

Golden Dragon?

Is it the dragon raised by Mizael? IV wondered.

It took a lot of time to climb to the top of the mountain. Ling Ya stood on the empty stone pile panting, and suddenly lost his goal and slumped on it. Sitting on the top with him, IV looked down from the mountain, which had a special flavor, just like the vision of a giant. All the creatures in this world seemed so small, as if they were trampled under their feet.He felt a kind of unspeakable joy, he suddenly wanted to shout, he was about to do so, but he saw a layer of black clouds suddenly swept out of the sky, and there was a flash of lightning and thunder, as if thunder might fall at any time Same.

The sudden change didn't stop there.The earthquake, Ling Ya felt that the pile of rocks under him was shaking violently as if something was about to be pulled out, but this scene was almost exactly the same as when the ruins disappeared, Ling Ya had a premonition that this was by no means a bad phenomenon.

A thunder struck fiercely, and the dazzling white light pierced Ling Ya and IV subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes, only feeling a strong air current that seemed to blow them away, so strong that it was difficult to stand on their feet.

"Stop, Jinlong."

A long roar broke through the sky, and Ling Ya saw a familiar figure gradually appearing in the light through his fingers.It was a young man who looked like he was just in his early twenties, and the clothes and ornaments on his body, as well as the familiar facial lines, all proved that he was Mizael.

"Naxiu, long time no see!"

"Mizael." Recalling the last time we met, the person in front of me still looked like a teenager, but I didn't expect that he had grown into a young man after decades, "Your body..."

"Ah, there is no problem." Mizael stretched his wrist, "I have only grown up in the last few years, and so far I don't feel any discomfort."

"That's good."

"Sorry, Naxiu, I must have caused you trouble when I left without saying goodbye."

"That's your decision, I naturally believe in you." Ling Ya paused, then smiled helplessly, "Besides, seeing that you're doing well now, I'm relieved."

"Didn't you come to take me back?"

"How come, didn't I say everything, it's your decision." Ling Ya continued, "I just came here to try my luck, see if I can see you...Drube and Meragu both care about you situation."

"Feel sorry."

"That's it, Mizael, I know you're still safe, and I don't have anything to worry about. I can go to the next stop."

"With this guy?" Mizael glanced at IV who had been silently acting as the background color from the corner of his eye, "I don't remember that he is...why is it a transparent color?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Can you see me?" IV pointed at himself, and got a contemptuous look from Mizael.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Who do you think I am, one of the seven Balian emperors is not for nothing."

IV doesn't have much impression of Mizael, only remembering that his brother said that he was the opponent they obstructed in the last battle, and he is also the dragon master who uses Galaxy Eyes like Kaito.Taking a closer look like this, he seems to be quite an arrogant person. Yuma seemed to say that he was raising a dragon before. Where is the dragon?

As if echoing IV's heartfelt voice, the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the light shrouded the earth again. Looking up, a dragon with silvery white light was hovering in the air and watching them quietly. The action reveals its majesty invisibly, which is daunting.

Mizael smiled gently at the dragon in the sky, and the dragon also lowered its head and approached him, accepting his caress naturally.Looking at the friendly scene of this person and one dragon getting along, if Ling Ya was a little worried about Mizael being alone at first, now he is not worried about his situation at all.With their mutual support, they will surely be able to go on in the future.

Before leaving, he was sent down the mountain by Jinlong.Having enjoyed a rare service of a dragon as a mount, Ling Ya and IV bid farewell to Mizael, opened the space channel again and returned to the town.What was waiting for him was an empty room and a few empty plates on the table. This scene reminded Ling Ya of the situation when he stayed at Yuma's house before departure.

Shouldn't...

Ling Ya walked over quickly, and sure enough, there was a handwritten note under the empty plate.

"Yuma's?" IV, who didn't show up to avoid Yuma, came out of the bracelet when he saw Ling Ya pick up the note. He looked at the note and saw a few words written on it. The crooked Japanese, the content is:

As for the shark, you should have come back from the ruins by now. It’s great to be able to help. In addition, I am very grateful for the food served here. It is very delicious. I also took a bath after a long time. It is really very comfortable .However, I'm sorry that I left without saying anything, because I really don't know how to say goodbye to the sharks. Maybe we will meet again somewhere in the world someday. I am looking forward to that day again arrival.

99 Yumaliu

"That guy..." Ling Ya looked at the words on it helplessly, "What are you talking about looking forward to that day? Since he already knows that my goal is the ruins of the Seven Emperors, he will definitely avoid those places on purpose. .”

"Why is Yuma avoiding you?"

"...Maybe he noticed it."

"Huh? What did you notice?" IV didn't know why.

Ling Ya shook his head, now he is almost sure that Yuma must know where III's soul is, and the reason why he left quickly is probably to prevent Ling Ya from being aware of this matter, even if it is unavoidable, he can Stay away from him for a while.

After all, no matter how you look at it, that letter is not the style that 99 Yuma would have.

"That idiot, do you think I don't know?"

"Is it true that you just left without saying goodbye, Yuma?" III asked softly, and he continued to walk forward with Yuma. If Ling Ya and IV were here, they would be surprised that he actually possessed an entity.

"It's okay, the shark will definitely understand." Yuma smiled, and then looked at III worriedly, "III, you materialized again, wouldn't it be very tiring!"

III looked back at him in surprise, then narrowed his emerald eyes, and smiled softly, "Because of me, I want to go with Yuma."

I want to keep going, keep going.
