A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 146. Chapter 146

The night was already dark, and after walking in the mountains, Garlan and the others found a flat ground as a camping place tonight. There are rocks or dense trees all around, blocking the night wind, and there are streams near the flat ground. Shuros wandered around and checked, and found no traces of beasts. It should be safe.

The bonfire was lit, and Garlan was sitting beside the bonfire, with the crimson fire shining on his face, and he sighed slightly.

Those who have been sleeping and sleeping these days, thought that there would be a soft bed for a good night’s sleep tonight, but he couldn’t help but be nosy, so that he and Schloss couldn’t even get in.

Having said that, why can’t he help it all the time?

Gallan was a little depressed.

When he was still a prince before, he always felt that as long as he was a prince one day, these people were his own people and his own responsibility, so he subconsciously took care of things every time he encountered problems.

He also always believed that when he left the palace and removed his status as a prince, he no longer had that responsibility, and he would not be so nosy.

Who knows, today has passed subconsciously…

He rubbed his head and felt a little brain pain.

He himself knew that this would not work.

Now he lost his status as a prince, and without Kaihus and Sheemur as his backing and helpers. If he encounters a similar incident, he will capsize sooner or later. Relying on the cleverness to bluff people to solve the problem this time, it doesn’t mean that it can go so smoothly in the future, and it’s not that everyone is so foolish.

Just when Gallan felt a headache, he stretched out a hand, picked up the long hair on his cheek, and pointed his fingertips to pinch his earlobe.

The bard rubbed the malachite earrings on Garlan’s earlobe with his rough fingers.

“… Malachite.”

Shuluos said with emotion.

It seems that the status of this noble young master is not low.

He is knowledgeable and it is not the first time he has seen such precious gems.

Withdrawing his hand, he said, “How do you know that the team will find your earrings? What if he didn’t notice it?”

“He will notice. If it’s an upright person, he might not notice, but that person is obviously a villain.”

Gallan shrugged and said, “This kind of people are very sensitive to words in order to please others, and they are also very sensitive to some unusual things.”

“makes sense.”

Shuros easily threw a dead branch into the fire.

He said, “Gal, you said, you want to be a bard like me, don’t you?”

“Yes, I think so.”

Now that he has decided to travel to the mainland, the identity of a bard is the most convenient.

…Well, he still learned a little lute from Kyjos anyway, and he should be able to cope with occasions when he needs to play.

“Then, I will tell you now, when walking on the mainland as a bard, the first thing you must do is to ignore the things that will cause you trouble.”

“what?”

“This time you are lucky. What you met is just a small team rate, which can be easily dismissed, but what about in the future?”

Schloss asked, “What do you do if you meet someone stronger, smarter, and crueler than him, even someone you can’t beat at all? Will moths fight the fire?”

“…”

“No matter what you see, you pretend not to see it. Only in this way can you live long.”

I fiddled with the fire with the dead branches in his hand, and a little spark exploded in the flame, reflected in Shuros’s pupils, as if sparks had spread from the fundus of his eyes.

“Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. The rich and powerful have been drunk, but the common people are suffering…There will be people suffering differently at every moment. Just say that now, during the time of our dialogue, here Perhaps many people are suffering on this land.”

“In this world, injustices abound, and people suffering are everywhere.”

In the light of the fire, Shuros’s handsome face is now full of indifference and carelessness.

He has traveled all over this land and has long been accustomed to life and death, injustice and pain.

“You can’t save so many people.”

The voice of the bard at this moment is low, with a rhythm that almost melts in the night, as if it can penetrate the deepest part of the human heart.

“You alone, who can you help? Who can you save? You saved one, and thousands of other people are still suffering. What’s the use of saving that one? Who cares about the tiny grain of sand? one person?”

He said, with a clear and clear voice, the words were indifferent to the bones.

“After waiting, you will understand, Gal, that no one cares at all.”

The night was silent, the temperature seemed to have dropped, and a little bit of chill was in the air.

The open space was extremely quiet at this moment, and only the sound of the stream not far away could be heard.

“wrong.”

Gallan said, he looked sideways at Shuros.

The fire light reflected in his pupils, making his eyes look like amber wrapped in flames, glowing all the time.

“No matter how many people don’t care, but Shuros, the man I helped, he cares.”

He looked at Schloss seriously and said, “He must care.”

Shuros choked for a moment.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but found that he couldn’t say anything.

He could not refute.

That person may be just an inconspicuous grain of sand among all living beings, but to that person, his life is all he owns.

No one cares about him, but he must care about it himself.

The clearing fell silent again, Shuros was silent, his face no longer had that careless look. The fire was burning and the dead branches crackled.

After a long silence, Shuluos spoke again.

“Actually, I did the same thing as you.”

He said,

“A long time ago, when I was very young…”

…………

At that time, he had just grown up.

A young man, young, vigorous and full of spirits.

The young people’s world is too simple and straightforward. They only think that black is black and white and white. There is justice and justice in the world.

Along the way, I always fight against injustices. When I see people who are in difficulty, I help and save them. I look at the grateful eyes of those who have been saved by myself, and the thank you when I bow down. I feel more and more ecstatic. It is a hero who saves people from fire and water.

That day, in fact, was the same as today. When passing by a small village, he saw a group of soldiers clashed with the civilians in the village.

He stepped forward to ask, and he knew it from the cries of the civilians.

Because a nearby lord’s mine collapsed, a lot of people died, and there is not enough manpower to mine the mine. That team of soldiers is trying to capture a dozen young people from the village and throw them into the mine for mining. However, the mine is still very dangerous. In addition to being extremely harsh on the miners, almost all of them have the fate of being crushed to death. Those young people and their relatives are naturally unwilling, struggling desperately and unwilling to go.

Upon hearing this, he said nothing, unceremoniously shot and killed the leading team and several soldiers, and drove those soldiers away.

Those who were rescued and their relatives were naturally grateful to him.

He was just when he was full of ambitions, but saw the old village chief looking at him pale, with trembling chapped lips, and then drove him away unceremoniously.

At that time, he was still extremely upset, feeling that he was their savior, and that old man treated himself like this, it was a kindness and revenge.

However, that night, he found that he had accidentally dropped an important personal item, guessing that it might have been dropped during a fight with the group of soldiers at noon.

So, early in the morning, he hurried back to the village quickly, wanting to find things back.

But when he got there, he was stupid.

I saw that the quiet little village yesterday was almost razed to the ground. The village was full of thick dust after the fire, charred broken wood, and a little smoke still rising.

And yesterday, the civilians who still surrounded him and thanked him, at this moment, most of them fell into the fire scene and turned into scorched corpses. There are still very few people alive, kneeling beside the corpse of their loved ones, crying in sorrow, desperate, and don’t know how long they have been crying, their cries are intermittent, and their voices are already crying dumb.

The scene of dead bodies everywhere was extremely tragic, and his mind was blank at this moment.

Why?

he thinks.

Why is this happening?

A stone smashed over and hit his dazed forehead heavily.

He only felt a pain in his head, and bright red blood flowed down his forehead into the corner of his eye.

He turned his head and stared blankly at the still alive villagers approaching him.

Those people looked at him, their eyes no longer showed gratitude, their faces were distorted, and their eyes were full of hatred and resentment.

“It’s all you… If you didn’t kill those soldiers… you wouldn’t anger the nobles…”

“It was you who made us like this!”

“Without you-without you, my brother would not die, he would not die!”

“We become like this, you are all responsible for it!”

Those who survived roared with crying voices, surrounded him round and round, picked up stones and smashed them at him.

The sharp stones hit him bruised and bruised, with two more bruises on his face, he hid from left to right, and finally escaped from the group of people in embarrassment.

He ran away in a hurry, because he didn’t know what to do or what he could do. From a distance, he seemed to be able to hear the screams of those people, like ghosts that couldn’t get rid of. For a long time, in his mind Lingering, making him sleepless at night.

Yes, if he hadn’t used his own force to kill the soldiers under that nobleman and anger the nobleman, this village would not have ended in such a miserable situation.

If he hadn’t been nosy, at most a dozen young people would have been lost in that village, and the others would still be able to live well and steadily.

Those who survived were right, he was the one who sent the entire village to Huangquan Road.

But what can he do now?

He can’t do anything.

The other party is a powerful and powerful person. He is a small bard who can’t even avenge the people in those villages, so he can only flee in a hurry.

At the beginning, the spirited spirits have now become embarrassed.

…

Later, he has been walking on the earth.

The injustices, the grievances, and the many, many things that have been seen too much and experienced too much have gradually become numb.

The young man, full of blood and sharp edge, always feels that there is nothing difficult in this world, and always feels that he is a hero who can easily save people from fire and water.

I always feel that the sword in my hand can cut all injustices.

It wasn’t until one day, in this cruel world where the weak and the strong, that he smashed his head and broke a sharp sword, did he know what reality is.

After that, I was flattened by reality. I lost my enthusiasm. I grew up, matured, and when I was indifferent, I learned to look on the sidelines.

In this chaotic world, there are too many injustices. How much can he manage and help?

In his capacity, more often than not, he would only harm others and himself.

It’s better to sit on the sidelines.

He laughed and cursed and played with the world, but he was already indifferent to the world.

…

“Shulos? What’s wrong with you?”

Gallan’s voice awakened Shuros from the memory.

He was in a daze, then raised his eyes to see Garlan.

Under the firelight, the boy’s appearance became more and more beautiful, but no matter how good it was, it couldn’t be better than those bright eyes.

He used to think that the boy was his past self.

He thought that one day, this young man will grow up, mature, compromise with reality, and lose that young heart.

But he was wrong. This boy was different from the past.

It’s very different.

“You said you have encountered the same thing as me, then what?”

“……Can not remember.”

“what?”

“It’s a long time ago, so I don’t remember it very clearly, hahaha.”

Shuluos waved his hand at random, “It’s late at night, go to sleep, this is only halfway up the mountain, and I have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning.”

He thought for a while and exhorted: “I’ll talk about the next thing later, but since you have done it this time, be careful. Don’t get close to Twyllul City, otherwise you will run into those people and you will be in trouble.”

“Oh.”

Gallan nodded and got up to clean up, but when he just got up, the black horse tied to the side suddenly neighed. It desperately shaved its hooves, its head swayed desperately, restless.

Gallan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort it and watched it pull on the reins, regardless of whether the reins would restrain him. He was afraid that it would hurt himself, so he quickly pacified it and untied the reins.

There were neighing noises one after another, and the brown horse on Shuros’s side seemed to have the same problem.

“what happened?”

Garlan asked.

Shuros tugged at the reins and replied: “I don’t know, I have checked, there is no breath of ferocious beasts around here, how can they be so scared?”

Suddenly, Garlan felt that he shook, and the trees around him shook slightly. He was taken aback for a moment, and the conversation he had with that team not long ago suddenly flashed in his mind. The team said that the area of Twyllul City had been moved not long ago.

Is this…

Suddenly there was another violent shaking, and the neighing steed became more restless. Although the reins were torn tightly by Garlan, all of its hooves began to step on it vigorously.

The ground moved!

Gallan still wanted to hold on to the reins, but the ground under his feet swayed more severely, he stood reluctantly, and the dark horse struggled more fiercely.

There was another violent shaking. He staggered and almost fell. The rein in his hand loosened. The dark horse, which had been irritable, broke free from his hand. He drove away with a long hiss, and soon disappeared on the shaking ground. .

Gallan had no intention of caring about the horse that ran away, because the ground was shaking so badly that he couldn’t stand still. He firmly grasped the big tree that was tied to the horse just now, so that he did not fall to the ground.

Suddenly, a huge and dull roar echoed throughout the mountain, like the sound of a huge boulder suddenly shattering.

He was so dizzy that he couldn’t pay attention to the noise.

“Gal!”

Suddenly someone yelled, and when he looked up, he saw Shuros leaping towards him.

He was pushed so hard that he could no longer grasp the trunk, and fell backward and fell heavily to the ground.

A huge crackling sound rang in his ears, the ground shook violently, Gallan’s pupils suddenly enlarged, and he saw a huge crack burst open on the ground.

With the crackling sound, the crack moved rapidly from far to near, like lightning, and a fierce crack was instantly opened on the flat ground in the first second.

The tree he was grasping just now had rolled and fell into the pitch-black crack, and Shuros, who pushed him away, helped him to slow down a step and staggered a step on the edge of the crack, and the whole person fell into it. gap.

Gallan didn’t have time to think about it, rushed forward, and grabbed Shuros’s hand.

He was lying on the edge of the crack, pulling Shuros tightly with one hand, and tightly clasping the rock beside him with the other, until the blue veins on the back of his hand were stretched out.

He desperately pulled Shuros to not let go, and never saw Shuros look up at him in surprise at the moment he was caught.

The earth was still shaking violently, and rubble rolled down from Shuros’s side.

He was suspended in the air, and beneath his feet was an abyss that could not be traced to the bottom.

However, at this moment, his lips raised slightly.

At this moment, it was only when he picked up a good-looking, boring Shuros who could have fun, and he truly regarded Garlan as his companion.

A companion worthy of his trust.

After raising the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the rock on the side.

With a hard effort, one turned over, he jumped up to the ground swiftly.

The earth is still shaking.

The whole mountain was roaring and shaking.

Rocks collapsed, the ground cracked, huge trees collapsed, rocks rolled down, rubble splashed, countless animals swiftly rushed away in it, like the sky and the earth cracked, terrifying to the extreme.

However……
