Master Ma, who runs a hotpot restaurant, updated his signature on his personal homepage.
In the darkness, he silently lit a cigarette.
The flickering light of the fire reflected his face, which was full of vicissitudes of life, into sharp edges and bumps.
He stared into the night.
The darkness was staring at him too.
in the dark place,
Two lines of words appeared strangely:
【Do you believe in God?】
【YES/NO?】
Took two puffs.
Master Ma stubbed out the cigarette butt on the wooden table, and the remaining heat of the cigarette burnt a black mark on the wooden table.
"Mom, I didn't expect it to be my turn."
He pressed "YES" viciously.
…
2114.
Yi Lin received an email in her anonymous mailbox.
Sent by Molly.
She asked in the letter: "Our paper is about to be submitted. Uncle G, what do you think the name of this article should be? PS: Grandpa has been thinking about you all day."
Yi Lin thought for a while and replied: "To the sky that mankind will eventually lose."
Molly in front of the screen was suddenly startled.
Uncle G’s reply was a bit too fast.
Then, cycle all this again.
Miriam lowered her head, and she suddenly felt that this was a wonderful fate, a strange fate for her and herself to meet.
Only movies dare to shoot like this.
But she experienced a "cycle" firsthand.
Seeing the teacher's silence, little Mirien thought that her words could not move the teacher. She quickly raised her scarred hands: "Now, the teacher is looking at me, my posture of holding the sword is wrong, my breathing is very rapid, I
I can’t keep up with the teacher’s movements at all. There are so many things I can learn. Teacher, Miriam doesn’t know how to survive without you.”
"No, you are wrong." Mirien shook her head affirmatively: "No one knows better than me. You are now more worthy of this sword than anyone else."
Finished talking.
Mirien made a move with her right hand, and the castle shook violently. An ancient sword buried deep in the ground trembled, penetrated the layers of stone walls, flew into the air, and then fell like a meteor and was inserted between the two of them.
.
That is the "treasure" buried deep underground by the Pendragon family - the Holy Sword.
The golden holy sword emitted bright golden light in the sunlight. Little Miriam stared at the light flowing on the sword, dumbfounded.
Miriam also looked at it, but this sword no longer belonged to her.
What she said was not wrong.
There is no one else in the world who is more worthy of this sword than the girl in front of him.
Including her.
She doesn't deserve it either.
She is just the "dead person" who abandoned her glory.
Miriam smiled: "Someone once said that there is no such thing as a dinner party. So, it's time to say goodbye."
The girl burst into tears.
She still doesn't know what her teacher looks like.
She was worried about what she would do if she said goodbye today and never saw each other again in the future.
"One day, we will meet again."
"Really?"
"Yes, in the name of 'knight', I make an oath."
"On that day, I will become stronger and surpass my teacher."
The girl held the holy sword.
On her forehead, a hair stood up stubbornly and turned into a bunch of dull hair that would never fall down.
At this moment, she officially inherited the glory of her ancestors and became...the King of Knights.
"Remember, and never forget, your glory and...pride. Miriam Artoria X Pendragon."
"Yes, my teacher."
The girl raised her sword high and raised her curly hair.
on this day,
She made a vow.
She swore an oath,
Never forget the glory and pride.
In the name of "Pendragon".
…
…
The sun was shining brightly, and under the shade of the trees, a smiling man waved to Miriam from afar.
It's Yi Lin.
"What's wrong? Don't want to give up?"
Yi Lin eats grilled chicken wings.
For the first time, Mirien did not ask for help from Yi Lin, but lowered her head and was preoccupied.
"Here, eat it while it's hot. I was in a hurry today and only baked two."
Yi Lin stuffed another grilled chicken wing into Miriam's mouth.
Miriam bit down.
"Uuuuuu——"
Mouth full.
"Aren't we still alive?"
Yi Lin's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and with the comfort of grilled chicken wings, Miriam's depression gradually eased.
"Will she become me one day?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
Yi Lin nodded first and then shook his head.
Miriam was stunned: "Why?"
"Because there is no 'I' in this world."
Miriam was dumbfounded.
"If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have entered the singularity of the Age of Gods; if you hadn't entered the singularity of the Age of Gods, you wouldn't have died; if you hadn't died, you wouldn't have arrived in hell; if you hadn't arrived in hell, you wouldn't have been in hell.
I pushed myself to the position of knight."
After smoothing out the logic in one breath, Yi Lin stretched out an index finger: "Without me, she wouldn't be you. Unless, one day, this world suddenly has an extra 'I'. Huh? Why are you laughing? Could it be that
Do you understand?"
Yi Lin was puzzled because he spoke so fast. According to the usual practice, Miriam would not be able to understand.
Miriam smiled softly, she was very happy.
But she didn't say anything, just gnawed on the chicken wings.
It's great to meet you.
Delicious.
"Almost three years."
Yi Lin finished eating the chicken wings.
"I have to go now."
"Um."
Miriam had already noticed it.
The dishes this time were so perfunctory and different from usual. Yi Lin made a different decision than usual, which did not surprise Miriam.
Over the years, Yilin has been wandering around with the district servers of the Tower of War and the Tower of Famine, dedicated to using "magic", "alchemy", "rituals", "witchcraft", "curses", and "magic potions"
, "divine descent" and other mysterious knowledge, and perfected the rules of "freedom". He and Miriam spent less time together and separated more, and the time interval between cooking became longer and longer.
Miriam's calmness surprised Yi Lin.
He gently touched Miriam's hair, ran his fingers through the gap on her forehead, and paused for a moment.
Yi Lin threw an exquisite badge into Mirien's hand.
"This is?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Dean Hesitant Hai's identity certificate. I accidentally killed an ancient vampire. He hasn't sucked blood for hundreds of years and is a bit weak. I took over Heshu Hai by the way and is now the honorary dean."
Yi Lin talked lightly about one of his insignificant deeds in the past three years: "Remember, the path we are taking now is 'history', and the future that belongs to us will definitely come."
Miriam nodded vigorously.
"When the time is right, everything in the Wandering Sea will become your strength."
Miriam nodded again.
Before leaving.
Yi Lin remembered something:
"By the way, I took in...ahem, a few poor and confused female students. Coincidentally, they are all named...Cesia von Einzbern."
Upon hearing this, Miriam felt wary and raised her eyebrows: "How many...?"
Yi Lin replied calmly: "The total is only more than 10,000."
