chapter Ten

Fight, crazy fight.

This is a beast that is a head taller than Cohen. It is screaming in pain and has no ability to resist. The bones in its body are broken one by one by Cohen with his fists. It falls down miserably, and blood keeps flowing from it.

Welling out of the mouth.

"It's all over..." Cohen sat on the body of the unknown beast and murmured: "It's all over."

He couldn't remember which beast he had knocked down, nor when he started doing this. He only knew that after the woman went out every day, he would follow the path he had trodden.

Go into the forest, look for wild beasts, and kill them brutally.

After that, I will be like this now, sitting in a daze.

An empire, an emperor, responsibility? Mission? Passion? Fake, fake, these are all fake, go to hell.

In fact, he regained consciousness from the moment he woke up in the cabin. But from that moment on, he fell into a trance. As long as he stared at a certain place, fragments of his past life were mixed with complex emotions.

One by one, endless disappointment, endless regret, and endless fear appeared in his heart, surrounding him layer by layer. These things would eventually turn into a kind of doubt, resentment, and denial of himself...

They filled his mind and couldn't get rid of them.

He is very strange. He knows that this is not his character, but he does not have the courage to break away, nor the thought of resisting. There is only a kind of laissez-faire that is still accumulated by these emotions. When these negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent,

, he needed to vent his anger through all kinds of violence. But there was a voice deep in his mind reminding him not to hurt humans. So, the beasts in the forest suffered disaster.

What kind of world is this, and why is he here? He can't think of the value of this world to himself, nor the value of his own existence. The more he thinks about it, the more discouraged he becomes, until finally he wants to abandon himself... But in his mind

There is still a little bit of unwillingness, struggling to survive in a small corner of my heart.

That's it, don't think about things you can't figure out, don't do things you can't do... Living with your head held high is a good way, but you have to pay a very heavy price; living with hands and feet is useless, but

No need to bear any responsibility...

Revenge? What kind of revenge? What kind of revenge is there to take? Is the joy in your heart worth a piece of bread? Fate... If this is what you have to face, then let this fate get out. You can't afford it, can't you?

Still can’t afford to hide?

Escape...escape...escape...Although there is no more passion, there will be no more pain. Even if it is numb, even if it is boring, there will be peace. Peace, this is the most important thing, this broken heart

My heart can no longer bear the setbacks.

As the sun gradually moved westward, a confused Cohen stood up and walked back unsteadily.

When it was getting dark, the woman's figure appeared on the path and appeared in Cohen's eyes. It was plain, but indispensable; weak, but it was the support in his heart.

She walked up to Cohen, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and stared at him angrily: "You have changed your gender, why don't you hide?"

Cohen knew that she must have encountered something unhappy, so he looked back at her and said innocently: "I can't find a place to hide."

Then begins the daily "official" conversation.

"Is dinner ready?"

"alright."

"Is the water reservoir full?"

"full."

"Do you remember the name?"

"No."

So she stretched out her hand with a smile, gently lifted Cohen's ear and entered the door, satisfied.

While eating, Cohen looked at her, and she looked at Cohen.

This is a very ordinary woman, so ordinary that there is nothing special about her. Cohen knows exactly when she wants to do something, but he cooperates every time. When she wants to pinch her ears, he will sit closer in advance; when she wants to lose his temper,

Sometimes, he would sit further away...accommodating this woman and hiding his accommodating behavior, which became the focus of Cohen's daily life.

Since you want to be an ordinary person, you should live in an ordinary way, right? Any sharpness or passion will go against it.

At night, she would come to his bed, reach out and hug him. At this time, her eyes would be very pure, purer than any other time in the day. The two of them would not speak, but they could look at each other for a long time, breathing slowly.

, with a peaceful face. Sometimes she goes to sleep first, and sometimes it's Cohen...

Gradually, Cohen felt that he had adapted to this kind of life. Although there were still emotional ups and downs every day, his eyes had become more and more able to pay attention to the things around him.

The house was simple and old, so he tried to repair it with unfamiliar techniques, although the repaired appearance was even weirder.

Life was monotonous and boring, so Cohen used his former heroic talent to capture some small animals and keep them behind the house to add some vitality.

Seeing him doing this, the woman laughed so naturally and calmly.

He even thought about his future life. He knew what her profession was, and he wanted to find a suitable time to persuade her to choose another profession... This was ironic. He had never outlined his future in such detail before.

Just live like this, don't think about fighting and fighting, don't think about revenge...

Just live like this...

that's all……

The days passed by, as calm as the water without a ripple.

That afternoon, Cohen prepared meals as usual and squatted beside the path outside waiting for her to come back. But she never came back...

Seeing the dark night, Cohen was completely panicked. He followed the path and looked in the direction of the town. After about five miles, he found her crawling on the road with difficulty, trailing a long and blurry trail of blood behind her.

Cohen rushed over in a few steps, picked up her thin body, and then inspected the injury. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning... That was a man-made injury. Such an injury, and choosing such a place to attack, even a beast would not be able to do it.

Things come out!

Holding him in his arms, she had a surprised smile on her pale face and said in a weak voice: "I...I'm back...here!"

"What's going on? What's going on..." Cohen carefully wiped the gravel from her face, his hands trembling and his heart trembling.

"It was me... I was not careful..."

Cohen hugged her tightly, chanting a spell in his mouth, and his whole body emitted a strong white light, but it could not prevent the slightest trace of life from dissipating from her body.

"Don't give up! I won't give up!"

Cohen cursed everything he could curse and used healing magic again. But it was useless. Her body was too weak. She was a demonic person, and she could not fully adapt to divine magic...

"Take me... back!" she said softly.

Cohen nodded, held her gently across his chest, and took the woman home with cautious steps.

She lay flat on the bed, looking at him calmly with her eyes, a blush appearing on her pale face.

"Don't you know my name yet?" She said, "My name is Tanni."

Cohen nodded. He didn't know what else to do except nod.

"It's really embarrassing for you to see me like this!" Tanni coughed twice softly: "Did it scare you?"

"No……"

"Life is like this, no one can imagine what will happen tomorrow." She squeezed out a bitter smile: "I... I originally expected to hand you over in exchange for money..."

Cohen held her hand, wondering whether he should tell her the truth—in fact, he could exchange a lot of money.

"I don't know why, but I didn't make up my mind. You won't blame me, right?" Her hands were cold: "You can continue to live here, and I will give this place to you, okay?"

"OK."

"But I have one thing to ask of you."

"Um!"

"You must do it." Her eyes were full of worry: "I don't care if you remember who you are, I want you to complete it."

"I...I will definitely finish it!"

"That's great, I...I have a sister, her name is Qin Lun, she will be seven years old this summer." Tanni raised her voice a little: "She is in a demon temple in the capital of the Trafal Empire.

Here, I, I fostered her there."

"You must be very strange! I am already a lowly prostitute, but I want to send my sister to the devil's palace... But for me, she is my hope. I don't want her to know that I am a prostitute, and I don't want her to know that I am a prostitute.

She endures the cold eyes of others. When she grows up in the Demon Palace, she will have a clean background and be happy in her future life..."

"I want you... I want you to find her... and let her grow up happily. As an officer, this shouldn't be a problem." Tanni pointed to the necklace around her neck: "You have to remember, she and

I have the same necklace."

"Every year, I have to send enough silver coins to the Demon Palace, but it seems that I can't do it this year, so you must find her in autumn...otherwise, she will be kicked out..." Tanni

Her eyes had lost their sparkle, but her hand held Cohen's hand very hard: "You...swear! Swear to your true identity!"

Cohen swallowed dryly, but under her earnest gaze, he still uttered this difficult oath.

"I...Koen Keda swears, in the name of the seventeenth emperor of the Sibia Empire, that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will fulfill your wish."

Tanni's eyes opened wide again, she couldn't believe it.

"You...what did you just say your name was?"

"Cohen Kedar."

"The enemy of the Demon Alliance...the commander of the Phantom Legion?"

"Yes."

"It turns out that I actually saved an enemy." The expression on Tanni's face was very complicated: "This is my retribution."

"There is no retribution!" Cohen shouted: "There is no retribution in this world!"

"Forget it! What does it matter who you are? You have to remember that a hundred miles south of the capital, there is a high mountain surrounded by rivers on three sides. My sister is in the magic temple on the top of the mountain." Tanni stretched out her words.

He took action, stroked Cohen's face, and said with a smile: "I...I...I really should have used you to...exchange money..."

"I remember."

"I remember that you have never smiled." Her voice gradually became fainter: "Just smile for me! I, I really want to see... your..."

These were the last words Tanni said. After she finished speaking, she stopped breathing... She couldn't even see the smile on Cohen's face.

Cohen hugged her lifeless body tightly, keeping a smile on his face, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye.

It was a crystal tear, a tear that should have fallen when Fichet fell. At this moment, it finally flowed out.

Slowly, tears streaked down Cohen's smiling cheeks and fell.

She was killed by someone, and the wounds of different depths belonged to different weapons.

She endured humiliation every day and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. She lived alone in a remote wilderness, and she was still killed!

Why, why? Why would you kill such a woman?

With such injuries, she was still crawling on the ground with difficulty...

The idea of ​​living a plain life was shattered by everything in front of me, and the only hope in my heart disappeared before my eyes.

How else can you escape? Can you escape? Since you can't escape, just stand up... Naturally, someone needs to bear all the consequences.

Cohen's body trembled in waves, and his throat let out a low howl that could not be distinguished from laughter or crying. His lavender hair did not move in the wind and gradually turned black, and his bright black eyes were filled with raging anger.

"Since there is no order in this world, let me become the order; since no one enforces the justice, let me become the justice; there is no way to escape fate, escape will make me lose everything; I can no longer fear responsibility, fear brings destruction..." He solemnly

He took off the necklace from her neck and hung it around his own: "I am Cohen Keda, I am the king of a country, I have the ability, I have the courage, I can complete what you asked me to do. At the same time, I will laugh.

As long as I continue to live, I will smile and integrate into this world. Those fools who harm other people's lives will pay the price..." (To be continued)
