The Cold Thorns were on alert, but the Consumptive Knight showed no sense of urgency.
He didn't even notice that the cold thorn was blocking his way.
Now Fela is too weak to feel the changes in the outside world, and his legendary five senses are now worse than ordinary people.
Fela, who didn't notice anything strange, was still half-squinting his eyes and talking to himself:
"After I die, I'll leave the rest to you. You have to take my body back after all the hard work."
Han Ci wanted to remind him, but the approaching people gave him a great sense of oppression, and he did not dare to let down his guard.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't take it back, but I still don't want to be buried in this place. It's too lonely here, and they're not here..."
Fela seemed to be experiencing auditory hallucinations at this moment. When no one answered, she made a gesture of listening and nodded:
"Go home? No, I really want to go home, but I actually don't have a home a long time ago... I couldn't go back a long time ago."
There are more and more wrinkles in the skin, and the pursuit of time is gradually catching up with the consumptive knight at this moment, making his body age rapidly.
This is the price.
Fela gave Palmer his illness and young life, and at the same time received from him the fate of aging and death.
Perhaps this is an unbearable price for others, but for Fela, who wants to die, it is a dream.
Just to prevent my life from passing away in vain, I persisted in using the forbidden power I obtained from that adult until today.
Fela has endured till now by herself.
But now, my mission has been accomplished, there is no reason to continue to persist, and I can let go.
Moreover, I haven’t experienced such a healthy feeling in a long time.
Grand Duke Hanthorn: "…………"
Not aware of the approaching danger at all, Fela suddenly fell silent after talking to herself for a while, her mood became a little depressed, and she slowly spoke:
"Oh, by the way, there's actually one thing I haven't told you all this time. I originally wanted to take it to the grave, but when this moment really comes, I feel like I can't be so selfish."
"Glory or anything else doesn't matter, it's just...when I die, no one will be able to remember them anymore."
Ho ho...
Breathing began to become difficult, but Fela didn't seem to notice it at all. To him, this discomfort simply didn't exist.
"Fela is not my name, but a code name. It is actually my surname."
"My name is Ash, Ash Fela. I won't mention the long part in the middle because you won't be able to remember it anyway."
After chuckling twice, his low mood returned to its original state, Ash calmly spoke:
"Fela, a rigid family that is not very noble, but never tarnishes the noble spirit until the day it dies."
"And I... am the last survivor of the Fela family and a prisoner exiled to this era. I am just a coward who should have died long ago but only dared to die now."
The picture in front of him became more and more blurry. Ash couldn't even see the world one meter away clearly. The surroundings seemed like chaos, or like a kaleidoscope looking backwards...
But Ash didn't feel scared, not at all.
Because he knows that his friends are by his side, there is nothing to be afraid of, and he can already rest.
"Will you remember me?"
"If you really can't remember it, it doesn't actually matter."
Although the truth is that I hope you can remember that at least we existed...
"Well, my friend, thank you for accompanying me all the way here... It's time to say goodbye."
Closing his eyes little by little, Ash could no longer see the appearance of the "Consumption Knight" at this moment. He looked like a tired old man who had finally passed away and closed his eyes.
His eyes fell into darkness, and his body seemed to fall into an endless abyss.
Fluttering.
But just when Ash's consciousness was about to dissipate, a bright light suddenly flashed in the darkness.
The bright light broke through the darkness, moving from far to near at an extremely fast speed, quickly approaching in his direction!
"……Um?"
Opening his eyes, Ash saw a special figure coming to a stop in front of him.
It was a man he had never seen before. He had a pair of gentle eyes and exuded a gentle aura.
No, Ash actually met him.
The man in front of me and the figure in my memory gradually overlapped, and in the end they were no longer different.
Turns out, it’s true!
"I've seen you!"
With his eyes widened, Ash looked at the radiant man and became excited:
"Are you here to pick me up? It turns out that someone is really waiting for me!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled gently:
"Of course, I'm here to pick you up."
The gentle words inspired a burst of courage in Ash's body, and he struggled to stand up.
"Then they! They will be waiting for me, right?"
"Will do."
Smiling happily like a child, Ash raised his hand tremblingly, trying to grab the man's sleeve, but he dropped it weakly when he was halfway up.
"That's great! That's great..."
The old palm, tortured by illness, fell weakly, and was gently supported by a pair of hands when it was hit hard.
After a long wait, he came to the end of his life at the most exciting moment.
He met his death without regret.
"……Good night."
Like a gentle whisper, Ning Feng whispered softly and gently placed Ash's palm on his chest.
Ning Feng didn't know who the other party recognized him as at the end, but he didn't mind.
In just a few breaths, he had already sensed the other person's physical condition, and he only had respect in his heart for this colleague who was burdened with an unspeakable past.
Straightening up, Ning Feng nodded slowly to Han Qian who was waiting behind him but was afraid of hurting Ash:
"We are not enemies."
The eyes behind the mask narrowed and stared, and Han Qian finally put away the blood-stained whip.
"...Sword wielder?"
Ning Feng, who was dressed in pure white armor, paused for a moment and then nodded calmly.
"yes."
With the same nod, Grand Duke Hanthorn stepped forward without saying a word, bypassing Ning Feng, gently picked up Ash, who passed away peacefully, and then stepped forward directly.
"Wait a minute, Grand Duke Hanthorn, where are you going?"
With his back to Ning Feng, Han Ci didn't stop and said calmly:
"I did accept the mission from Mr. Stargazer, but that doesn't mean I need to report to you."
Although he is friends with Ashe, Han Ci has always had a cold and unruly temper towards outsiders.
"Hanthorn, after you complete your mission, do you need to report back to Watch City?"
He frowned. Although he didn't like the sword holder, Han Ci also realized the problem and stopped walking away:
"yes."
"Then, this matter is also related to you."
Ning Feng's serious atmosphere made Han Ci narrow his eyes and look back at him.
Looking at Grand Duke Hanci seriously, Ning Feng's voice was low, making it difficult for people to detect the real emotion in it:
"Watch City has sealed itself, and no one can teleport there."
