The rear compartment of the carriage looked much brighter. The window on the left hand side was opened, and the sunlight filtered in from the outside, making it look much warmer.
There was a strong smell of herbs in the air. From the moment he opened the curtain of the carriage, Dulan instinctively felt his heart shrink.
The memory of the original owner came up like a tide, and countless touching scenes flashed before his eyes. Every bit of the young man's growth process seemed so precious. It was the person in front of him who taught him countless things.
Knowledge and skills also helped him lay a solid foundation.
"Teacher..." When he shouted this sentence, Dulan's eyes were gradually moistening. His memories with the boy had already merged, and he felt the same for the boy's emotions.
The reason why a normal greeting turned into the most painful and sad choked sobs was because the tall man wrapped in a thick blanket lying in the back compartment had his eyes closed and his face was gray. His eyebrows
The lips that were still thick and tightly pursed were completely drained of blood, and the originally strong and thin face was taken over by a pale color. Duran didn't feel any life in him at all.
At this moment, he could no longer care about His Highness Jian who was silent beside him.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and held Mr. Qiu's hands tightly - the cold touch made Dulan feel cold. He subconsciously thought that the teacher had already gone to the west. However, at this moment, a weak call came from the two of them.
came from the thin lips:
"Dulan..."
"Teacher! Teacher, how could you become like this?" Dulan's choked sobs almost turned into wailing. He gritted his teeth tightly, but he couldn't stop the tears from pouring out.
The other half of the soul in the body is constantly trembling. The man who was once omnipotent in the young man's heart is now in such a miserable state.
"In order to assassinate Andrew, Mr. Qiu accidentally hit Andrew's [Life Drainage]." Kate covered her mouth and said with tears in her eyes: "Everything was going very smoothly. If the knight of the Burning Blood Oath hadn't suddenly appeared,
We should have succeeded."
Jane was silent on the sidelines. At this time, she suddenly interrupted and said: "You should not take such drastic measures. The power of the people in black is too weak to compete with the entire empire. What you do can only increase
More hatred and tragedy without changing the facts."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness Princess." Kate wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and responded with hostility: "You have lived a privileged life since you were a child, and you have the blood of a dragon on your back. Naturally, you will not know the pain and helplessness of ordinary humans.
Everyone deserves to enjoy freedom. Since the establishment of the Ruha Empire, the dragons have stood high and enslaved everything. The descendants of Edinger can only be reduced to second-class people, which is a huge tragedy in itself. Maybe we can't change anything...
…”
Before Kate finished speaking, Dulan, who was holding Mr. Qiu's cold hands tightly, suddenly raised his head.
"Maybe we can't change anything, but we want you to know that this is our attitude!" Duran said categorically: "As long as the people in black exist, all the dragon nobles who enslave and oppress ordinary humans should feel that
Fear because their heads could fall to the ground at any time."
A blush flashed across Jane's face, and she argued: "Not all dragon people are what you think."
"With all due respect, we didn't imagine it, we just saw it with our own eyes." Kate said bitterly: "My mother died from the whipping of a dragon lord, and the reason was just because he ordered my mother to clean her body.
There is a slight flaw in this old piece of clothing. The blood of evil dragons is full of destructiveness, and dragon people are irritable and irritable. This is common sense that can be verified everywhere."
"I'm sorry about your mother." Jane whispered: "But I assure you, not all dragons are as you see. Dragons are actually human beings, but they have some dragons in their bodies.
Bloodline, so that it can become stronger. In my father's territory, we have been committed to promoting equal coexistence between dragons and ordinary people. Although the current results are not obvious, I think time can solve all problems. Using violence,
It’s really not a wise move.”
"Your Highness Princess, I have long heard about the deeds of you and your father, Grand Duke Jinque, in trying to implement the policy of equality between dragons and humans in the Riverlands. Your father and daughter deserve our admiration, but you have also seen the facts. Dragons
It was difficult to live on an equal footing with ordinary humans. The first human lord of the Riverlands was found dead in a stable in the backyard on the third day after taking office. The protests from the other dragon nobles forced this policy to be aborted.
The Grand Duke seems to have received a lot of criticism for this matter." Dulan said calmly: "If it can be resolved peacefully, why would we want to fight again? Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the black-clothed men are a group of heroes who dare to go against the Ruha Empire.
Heroes, but in fact, we are just a group of poor people who were forced to raise weapons. We want to live well, we want freedom and equality. The dragons can't give these, and you can't give them either.
,understand?"
Jane gritted her teeth and was about to say something, but Dulan waved his hand: "Kate, please take Her Royal Highness away. Be careful not to let her escape. She is the only person who can ensure our safety at the moment."
Kate nodded. After touching the restraint bracelet, most of her strength had been restored. Not to mention Urban's help, it shouldn't be difficult for the two of them to guard the helpless Princess Jane.
The thick curtain fell again, and Du Lan looked at the teacher's face losing life little by little, feeling extremely sad.
"Du Lan, what you said just now is very good..." His thin lips moved, and Mr. Qiu said with difficulty: "Remember our original intention. What we want is not fighting and war, what we want is just
Liberty and equality.”
Dulan bit his lip and nodded.
Mr. Qiu said weakly: "I originally thought that it was a great thing for you to escape the capture of the guards. I didn't expect that you could kidnap the imperial princess. Haha, it's really impressive."
"teacher……"
Mr. Qiu grabbed Dulan's hand: "Listen to me, you did a very good job. Although this princess looks a little different from other dragons, she is a dragon after all. We have completely different interests from her.
, this is something you have to consider. I don’t have much life left, and Andrew’s spell is so powerful that even he himself can’t lift it.”
"Originally, Xiu Yimiro wanted to rush me to Big Pudding City and hand me over to the military headquarters of the Ruha Empire. In order to keep me alive for a while, he gave me a lot of herbs, but I vomited them all. I
My life should have ended here. This is the end written by the great Xi Wei himself, and no one can change it."
"After I die, please bury my body by the small lake between the three towns. And you will inherit my last wish."
"You are the only disciple I have ever had in my life. Although I have taught you carefully, I did not interfere much with your growth due to my own lack of ability. I am just a gold-level assassin with mediocre qualifications. In order to ignite the fire, I
I worked hard to succeed. But you are different, you are a genius, believe me, Dulan, you are really a genius."
"You are not only a born assassin, you are also a born king." Mr. Qiu began to cough violently, but he still managed to finish his words: "I see in you the hope of the descendants of Edinger, the decadent Lu
Ha will perish in the flames, and I hope you can end this with your own hands and bring true freedom to humans and other intelligent races."
"If you think all this is my nonsense, then I will tell you that this idea is completely wrong. When I was thirty-two years old, I met the witches of the Black Witch Coven. They are the real wise men. Since the first
At the end of the century, they began to search for the missing witch god. To this day, the Anze people have experienced the pain of two divisions, but they are the only ones who still shoulder the mission of guarding ancient wisdom. They told me about the future they saw, and
The future of all this lies with you."
"This is their prophecy - the sacred fire in the east is about to be ignited, and the descendants of the Anze people and the Yujin people will put aside their past grievances and fight side by side. Xi Wei's descendants will repeat the feats of their ancestors, and a new world will come."
After Mr. Qiu finished speaking this prophecy, he trembled and recited an unclear incantation.
A dark ring appeared on the middle finger of his right hand. He took it off tremblingly and handed it to Duran: "This is the thorn bird ring, the symbol of the leaders in black."
"Du Lan, today, as the second generation leader of the black people, I will give you the thorn bird ring. From now on, you will not only be the official black people, but also one of the three leaders of the black people. Specifically,
When you return to the base of the Black Clothes, someone will naturally tell you about this matter."
Du Lan's tears had already burst into tears. The teacher was clearly giving his last words!
He resolutely took the ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand.
"Well done, Dulan." Mr. Qiu smiled weakly. His eyes moved away from Dulan's face and gradually blurred: "It's a pity that I can't see the day when the fire of freedom is ignited..."
