Leia can't remember exactly what her father and mother are like.
His last memory of them was when he was ten years old. His father usually engaged in farming and hunting. The land near the village where they lived was not fertile, so instead of farming, he would often take advantage of the slack period to hunt sambar deer or wild boar.
, their meat is used to improve the food, and their furs are peeled off and tanned, and used in exchange for some practical or interesting gadgets with merchants in the north.
He still remembered the 'conch' that his father gave him that could play music. He got it from a traveling merchant and it was said to be made of the shells of creatures from the depths of the sea. It wasn't until many years later, when he actually came
When I got to the beach, I discovered that the conch was not at all what I remembered.
As for her mother, she was mediocre in appearance, not very good at sewing or hunting, and was not very close to the villagers. Her only advantage seemed to be her excellent relationship with her father. Leia never remembered the two of them blushing, not even her father.
When he gets angry when arguing with others outside, as soon as he comes home and sees his mother, his anger will subside and he will regain a kind and gentle look. The young Leia doesn't know the specific reason, but she only knows that there is no falsehood in her father's smile.
This was his daily life during his childhood. There were many such villages near the borders of the empire. They seemed to be unaffected by the prosperity and development of the empire, existing lonely and peacefully outside the river of time, continuing until the end of memory.
It was the night shortly after his tenth birthday.
It took many years to know exactly what happened. Leia's only memory of the scene at that time was fire, lightning, crying, and running away.
The attack that they didn't know where or from whom they came from easily destroyed the village's defense - in fact, it never existed from the beginning. The villagers rushed to escape in a direction where there was no flame, but when they appeared
What is in front of you is the enemy who has been waiting at the exit.
At that time, it was his mother who came forward.
As a young man, he couldn't understand what his mother said to the other party. He only remembered that the other party's tone became more and more excited, but his mother remained calm as always. Then without warning, they moved their hands.
While protecting him, his father retreated into the village. The other villagers did the same thing, leaving only his mother alone to fight against dozens of times more enemies.
Even so, it seemed that—at least from Leah's perspective at the time—his mother had not fallen behind. He did not bother to think about the strangeness of this matter, and just prayed that his mother could defeat the enemy and return safely.
Unfortunately, realizing that they could not win quickly, the attackers turned their targets to the villagers trapped in the sea of flames. My mother was unable to stop some people from bypassing her and killing the villagers who had almost no ability to resist - the villagers had simple farm tools in their hands.
With iron weapons, they are completely vulnerable to attackers.
The familiar villagers screamed and fell down one by one. Leia curled up into a ball and closed her eyes tightly, thinking that she was dead. But after waiting for a long time, the burning heat around her gradually receded, and her nasal cavity was filled with cool air again.
Air.
He tried to raise his head, and then saw a long knife with a cold light, pointing at his chest. The night was deep, and he continued to look up. The knife holder was thin and masked in black. He couldn't find anything that could be seen.
features to remember.
In the middle of the two people is the father, who is in ragged clothes and half kneeling on the ground.
"Get out of the way." The man in black said calmly, with no hint of anger. "That child has the blood of a monster. If you leave him, this kind of thing will happen again."
His father did not look back at him, nor did he express agreement or rejection. He just knelt and sat motionless. Only when the man in black tried to bypass him from one side, his father straightened up and stood between him and the man in black again.
.
"If you want to get over, just kill me." The father's voice was hoarse and weak, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Since you insist so much." The man in black nodded, "I can only do as you wish."
Leia instinctively closed her eyelids and did not see the scene that happened next. He heard his father's deliberately suppressed scream, the sound of something falling to the ground, and the footsteps walking towards him. The next moment, I don't know.
Whether it was a hallucination after death, he heard his mother's voice again.
"Let him go—!"
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw flames sweeping in like wild beasts, but he avoided him consciously and attacked directly at the masked man in black. The man in black spat, turned around, and raised the long knife in his hand.
, and went straight to meet the rushing Flame Dragon.
Leia didn't know who the final winner was. The flames were extinguished soon after, but neither his mother nor the masked man came back to look for him. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't even dare to take a deep breath.
Sitting on the ground motionless.
It wasn't until his body became stiff and numb and the sun slowly rose the next day that he finally saw another living person.
The man was wearing a green robe, with a gentle face and an inexplicably awe-inspiring demeanor. He must be a big shot, a very powerful one, Leia thought to herself.
The 'big shot' walked up to him, leaned down slightly and looked at him, his eyes comforting but not pity, "The danger has passed, kid. Can you stand up?"
Leia nodded vigorously, stretched out her hand to the 'big man', and stood up with his help.
"Is the village... okay?" He lowered his head and asked in a low voice, without mentioning his parents. "How are the others... okay?"
"Some people are dead, and others are still alive." The old man in Tsing Yi looked at him gently and stretched out his hand to stroke his head. "I will arrange for them to move to villages within the empire. This will allow them to live a peaceful life."
Life. As for you, kid...what are you going to do."
At that moment, Leia's mind was unusually clear. It might only have been a few seconds, but it was enough for him to think about many things.
His father and mother are dead. And his identity is also an unstable factor for the current village. What's more, the villagers who have just escaped from the disaster and need to rebuild their homes do not have extra energy to take care of him.
——A child of only ten years old.
"Can I... come with you?" He looked up at the old man and whispered, "I can do whatever you want."
The old man in Tsing Yi smiled, as if he had expected it.
"Come with me. Besides you, there is another child who is a few years older than you. From now on, you will all be part of the "Pale Hand"." The old man took his hand and slowly
Walking outside, "Of course, if you don't work hard enough, you may be fired. Do you understand?"
He didn't answer with words, just nodded vigorously.
That was the opportunity for him to become "companions" with Kong and Wei Feng.
…
In the following decades, many things naturally happened. Wei Feng became the leader of the "Earth Tribe", and he bid farewell to the "Pale Hand" and became a wandering ranger. He did not think anyone else's actions
More correct since these are just two different options.
He later visited his hometown several times, where there were still traces of scorched villages, but no one had inhabited them long ago. He also visited several villagers who had settled in the new land and were from the same hometown as his parents. After a long time,
Over the decades, the villagers gradually forgot what happened at that time. The older people still remembered him and Wei Feng, but did not have any hostility towards him. They also asked him to send a message to Wei Feng, hoping that he could return to the village when he was free.
have a look.
It's a pity that Wei Feng rarely met him since unknown time - of course, he could guess the reason. When he found Wei Feng again and conveyed these words to him, the leader of the "Tubu" didn't know anything about it.
He refused without hesitation.
"The revenge of my parents has not been avenged, and I can return home shamelessly." The man who is almost middle-aged has not lost his momentum at all. Only the sharp sword blade has condensed into a thick mountain, "You go, we are strangers, just
No need to meet again."
"It's just because you deviated from the direction, Wei Feng." Leia responded tit for tat, "One day, I will bring you back to the right path."
"That's just your delusion." Wei Feng said coldly, "Only by using powerful force to subdue all the monsters who dare to stir up trouble can we prevent what happened in the village from happening again in other places."
Every time the conversation got here, it ended unhappily. After trying two or three times, Leia gave up the idea temporarily and started wandering around the continent alone.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
As time passed, he saw countless conflicts between humans and monsters. Some were due to differences in concepts, some were due to gaps in customs and culture, and some...perhaps simply due to "other races"
” prejudice and hostility.
He even began to doubt whether he had chosen an impossible path. Until not long ago, the girl in white who called herself the 'Demon King' once again made the seeds in his heart begin to germinate.
He remembered that the original source of the different paths between him and Wei Feng was his parents.
One of them is a human and the other is a monster, but they sincerely care for and care for each other, and they will never change until death.
Because of this, he decided to go with Yuffie and her group to help them achieve their 'unrealistic' expectations, and at the same time confirm whether the other party's words and deeds were consistent.
Now, those girls have found the way forward and have given him satisfactory answers. Then it is his turn to complete his mission.
Leia was convinced that whether it was to avenge his parents or to reduce the gap between humans and monsters, that person... no, that person's successor was the one he had to solve with his own hands.
"Wait, Setsuna, I'm here to find you..." Leia stroked the smooth gun body in her hand and whispered to herself, "You will receive the fate you deserve...in the name of my parents."
