Chapter 491 [Fate]
“Is this forest in front of you very beautiful?”
Han Ye slowly sat down, sat on the trunk of a tree, and next to Lanlan.
Night has fallen. Sitting on this big tree, through the canopy, you can see the sunset in the distance slowly disappearing at the end of the horizon.
"It's really beautiful." Lan Lan seemed to smile, then she turned her head and looked at Han Ye: "But, the sunsets all over the world are like this, and there is no difference, isn't it?"
Han Ye looked at Lanlan's expression seriously, and she sighed softly: "What a pity... you have seen the sunset in your hometown, and you have also seen the here... and I have only seen the here."
Lan Lan seemed to ponder for a moment and whispered: "Actually... it's no different."
Turning his head back and staring at the sunset that disappeared in the distance, Lan Lan whispered: "A guy once told me this truth: people actually look at their own mood when they look at the sunset. When they are in a good mood, they are beautiful sunsets. When they are hungry, they are actually a poached egg."
After hearing this, Han Ye seemed to be stunned, and then laughed: "This is right!" After pausing, she looked at Lanlan's side face: "Is the person you are talking about... that Da Lingchen?"
"...Yes." Lan Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally admitted openly: "He has always been a very special person."
“It’s very special?”
"Well." Lan Lan thought for a while: "I don't know where he came from... nor where he was going. In fact... I suddenly realized that I had never really known this person."
"But you hurt his heart?"
"Breaking a person's heart doesn't have to know this person to do it." Lan Lan smiled bitterly.
Han Ye touched it from his arms, took out something wrapped in leaves, slowly opened it, and there was a piece of bread inside, and handed it to Lan Lan: "Eat some, you'll be sitting here this day, without eating a single bite."
"When I'm hungry, my heart will be really quiet, and my thoughts will be simpler, without those mixed things." Lan Lan pointed to her head: "So, I'm actually having a happy day... I don't have those sad things in my mind anymore, but... my mind is full of braised pork."
"Hahaha!" Han Ye smiled: "This is also what Darling Chen taught you?"
Lan Lan nodded, she sighed, broke off a piece of cake, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The cake is very rough and has a not good taste, but the aroma of the simple food makes people feel very comfortable.
"Can you tell me about you?" Lan Lan swallowed the cake and looked at Han Ye very seriously.
"I?"
"Well." Lan Lan stared at Han Ye's eyes: "You should be a master of the holy level. I'm very curious about you... More than a hundred years ago, when most of the elves in your clan returned to the Roland Continent with Mr. Luo Xue and counterattacked humans, why did you stay?"
"...I said that this is our hometown. The hatred ten thousand years ago was too far away, so far away that I didn't think I should remember it." Han Ye looked at the scenery in the distance, and his tone seemed to be relaxed: "At least, from the time I was born and grew up, I lived here, and in my heart, this is my hometown."
"But aren't you worried about your tribe?" Lan Lan smiled and said, "I heard someone say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... With a master like you, why didn't you choose to go on an expedition with your tribe? Did you not have any respect for your tribe..."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I bet this sentence was also told by Darling Chen."
"..." Lan Lan was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "You said it right... It seems that before I knew it, I was actually affected a lot by him."
"Do you really want to hear my story?" Han Ye's eyes became very deep: "Or... are you actually curious about the scars on my face?"
"...all." Lan Lan said carefully: "Did this topic offend you?"
Han Ye waved her hand. Her eyes were like two beautiful gems, shining brightly under the setting sun.
"Luoxue and I came to this world one after another, and he was just a little earlier than me." Han Ye said softly: "Our father is the leader of this elf tribe and the royal family of the big elf tribe.
From the moment we were born, we were blessed by all our tribesmen, longed for by everyone, and expected by everyone.
As the children of the king, we must select one of us in the future and compete for the throne.
The inheritance of the elves' throne is perhaps different from you humans. The throne of the elves is generally taken by the patriarchs of several tribes in turn. Our large elves have always been recognized as the most powerful one.
Luo Xue and I showed great talents when we were very young. Whether it was martial arts, archery, or the natural magic of the elves, we could quickly learn and master them.
And Luoxue...my brother, in fact... he is a little worse than me.
When we were adults, my father was no longer my opponent. All the tribesmen thought I was the most powerful elves in the tribe, and everyone thought that I would be the first one to advance to the holy level in this elf tribe.
At that time, Luoxue could no longer catch up with me.
He has been a little worse than me since he was a child. In all aspects, martial arts, and magic, he is always a little worse than me, one step slower than me. But our relationship is very good.
Luo Xue is a very kind and smart elf. He has always loved the people of the tribe and is a little weak.
I remember when we were adults, we left the forest together and went to hunt those monsters, and Luo Xue vomited in fear - that was his first killing.
Although he is a little older than me, he has been my younger brother since he was a child, and I seem to be his sister.
I know that he loves me very much, loves his father, loves his mother, and he loves everyone.
But there was finally one day...
When we all completed the trial ritual of adulthood, when the king of the entire elf tribe began to select heirs, all major tribes would send the most outstanding young people in the tribe to participate in this selection ceremony.
Luoxue and I went.
We both lived up to everyone's expectations. We defeated all the other opponents respectively, and in the end, we both became the last opponents.
Our father, the Elf King at that time, performed very strangely at that time.
I didn't see much joy and excitement in his eyes, but I saw a hint of pity and sadness...
I don't understand. We are his children, we defended the dignity of the royal family, defeated the challengers in other tribes, and became the heirs of the throne.
Only the two of us are left, and the heir to the throne will surely emerge from us. As our father, shouldn't he be proud of us?
Later I realized how outrageous we were at that time, how naive our thoughts were!"
Han Ye's voice was filled with sadness. Lan Lan listened quietly, as if she could feel the thick helplessness and sorrow in Han Ye's words.
"That night, my father took us both to the temple. All the patriarchs and elders of the tribes were waiting outside.
I remember clearly that my father pointed to the closed door of the temple and said to Luoxue and me: Go in, fate’s choice for you is inside.
After many years of knowing, I understood why my father’s words were so sad.
Because what he said is that fate chooses us, not us chooses fate.
When a person cannot even choose orders, even if he is a strong man, he is still sad!"
...
The cold wind is gradually rising.
The dense forest seemed to be unable to stop the bone-thrusting cold wind.
A crystal snowflake fell down.
One hand stretched out, his fingers were slender. The snowflake fell into the palm of his palm and slowly melted into snow water.
“This winter came too early.”
With a gentle sigh, Luo Xue withdrew her palm.
He stood under the tree and looked up. His figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, the slender figure was already standing at the top of the tree canopy, and his toes stepped on a branch, swaying gently in the cold wind.
At this moment, the sky and the earth were all in my eyes.
"Is it coming? Is fate still unable to escape?"
Luo Xue stared at the world quietly, with a bitter smile on her lips.
