Chapter 67: Candles (Part 1)
"Hey, I said Uncle Gen, I'll ask you a very serious question, you have to answer me well."
Seeing Alice's back behind the carriage, the dwarf Loli showed a serious expression and looked at the red-haired man beside her. She was completely different from the crazy appearance just now, but instead had the decisive spirit of the leader of the real clan. Her little face was full of solemnity, and she no longer had the impetuous aura she had when she saw her.
After all, she is a princess of the Dwarf clan. Although she is very happy and does not look exactly like a formal person, she can definitely be serious when she should be serious. Because she represents the future of the Dwarf clan, and the face and integrity of the dwarf.
For example, at this moment, when facing this benefactor, she must be serious after saying hello.
"Uncle Gen, you are almost out of reach, right? Your body is completely unable to hold on, right?"
Listening to the questioning of the dwarf girl, the red-haired man grinned a strange smile.
"Oh? Now my physical condition can even be seen, you little guy? I am only twenty-eight years old and I am not old. By the way, little girl, this is not something you should care about. Is it okay to have a good time to go to the Messiah and have fun?"
"Is it time to talk about that kind of happy thing? Uncle Gen, you know your own body more clearly than me?"
"Of course, it would be so embarrassing if you can't figure out your body?"
A white cigarette was pulled out of his arms and lit it. Unlike the usual mint smell, what would permeate the closed space was a strange smell of sulfur. Even the smoke that was spit out was covered with black mist. It was like the sighs composed of the last whisper of the dead, lingering around the man in the black cloak, forming a dismal atmosphere.
Holding the cigarette with black smoke in one hand, he put his arms on his bent knees. His back leaned slightly against the wall of the sealed space, and his eyes looked at the painted black ceiling above. Unknown emotions flowed in his red eyes.
"If I don't know my physical condition, I can't make it, right?"
"So can I tell the truth? Uncle Gen? How long can your body last? You don't have to tell me lies, and I won't go to inform or what. I just want to know how long your life is left. To be honest, your retreat this year has not brought any results. Those people are still struggling to force each other. They completely betrayed the treaty they signed back then. Dwarves, elves, dwarfs, goblins, and all races on land have been more or less oppressed by them..."
"Yes, yes, I know, so I came out... using this player's identity and this escape identity. In fact, I had already thought about it and had some breathing skills. I found that my old problems had not been changed. I took care of myself and always commanded blindly. Although I had won a lot, I would never understand the overall situation.
A low and hoarse voice came out of the smoke.
The black smoke shrouded in the man's body became increasingly richer, almost covering the slender red-haired figure in a shadow. It was like a black-clothed existence who couldn't see clearly dragging him into a darkness.
The dwarf girl suddenly felt nervous, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to be saying something wrong.
"I'm almost dead."
The person in the black fog said in a hoarse voice, which made the dwarf girl's heart tighten. Although she had expected this ending, the shock after hearing her own confession still made her subconsciously grab the corner of her clothes.
"Uncle Gen, don't say that, you will definitely live a hundred years old. Really, you don't have to worry."
"Ha, children don't have to lie and deceive people. I don't know my own affairs yet? I have killed so many people, but I can't see my own death? Having been there for half a year? One year? If you are optimistic, you may be two years old? Hahaha, in short, you can't live thirty. It's said that you are thirty at the age of thirty, but I am destined to live thirty and never see the day when I stand. How about it, although I have a premonition, I am still unwilling to accept it when I face such a thing..."
The man in the smoke drank the clouds and spitted the mist, and his red eyes were like torches in the dark night, shining red in the mist, as if leading something, or being dragged by something.
"It's enough... I've been ten years... I'm so tired... I don't want to see it at all..."
Just like a wanderer curled up on the corner of the street, Gao Gen leaned against the wall of the enclosed space and spoke his thoughts to the dwarf leader next to him. An exhausted tramp was telling his unwilling story, and anybody was good, as long as he could listen to his own words. He just wanted such a little request.
"The establishment of the Four-color Flag, the covenant of glory, the array advances, the singing, the conquest of hell. These were all mine before, all mine. Everything in me was built on these. But what about the final ending? The disintegration of the Four-color Flag, the collapse of the Four-color Flag. I didn't even know who the person who was reporting was, and I inherited all this inexplicably. This is ridiculous, really, too funny. It was obvious that everyone was so good at the beginning, and they were still saying that they wanted to save the world. But just a few years? All have changed. People have changed, positions have changed, and everything has changed. All have changed. No one has known. Ahem..."
The homeless man leaned there and smoked the cigarette that seemed to be endless. Under the dwarf's increasingly sad gaze, he coughed in a very embarrassing manner for several minutes. Finally, he stood up in the black mist and picked up the cigarette again.
