Chapter 1557 Say Goodbye to the Past

Latest URL:

After a long confrontation and silence, all of Gao Wen's thoughts finally turned into a long sigh.

"I want to say that you can actually have a better way, but the track of history never cares about any 'better way'," he nodded slightly, looking at the phantom in front of him, "Facts have also proved that you The decision has now brought about a relatively more hopeful situation. Although there may be some variables in the middle, I have now successfully reintegrated the loose Gondor remnants, and in the process I have found a way to fight against divine disasters and demon tides. The solution—we are preparing for the final challenge, and mortals are not guaranteed to win, but this time we are more prepared than we have been in every season of civilization in the past."

"This is already the best situation we have ever imagined," Gawain Cecil, who was sitting across from him, laughed. "Charlie should be relieved to know this."

Gao Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Charlie also knows about this?"

"Why don't you know? He is the king, and I guard the frontier for him - without the acquiescence and support of the king, how could a duke who protects the southern border suddenly lead a boat out to sea, and then die at sea without a word Adrift for half a year?" Gawain Cecil laughed, "And if my guess is correct, after my 'death', there should be a lot of legends and stories about me left in this world, true or false My life will be covered in thick fog by countless poems and contradictory historical data, and my journey will be completely hidden from history... All this is for many years Then let a mysterious ancient hero come back to life reasonably.

"Then, apart from the king, who else can arrange such a thing in such a wide range and in such a long time span?"

Gawain stared and did not speak for several seconds. After deciphering and exploring history for so many years, he thought that he had at least understood most of the ins and outs of Gawain Cecil's trip to sea. Apart from the blank part of the memory, there should be no other omissions, but I didn't expect that there were so many secrets behind this incident, and the memories involved in these secrets were obviously acquired by Gawain Cecil before his death. Erase from your own mind...

Two memories, one from Gawain Cecil, and the other from the wandering souls in the satellite, each has gaps, but complements each other, some were deleted by the person concerned, and some wandered in the data array due to system failure. It has been centuries, but now these lost fragments finally slowly floated up from the long river of time, and a complete picture was pieced together in front of Gao Wen. How long did it take to look up at the phantom in front of me: "Okay, Charlie knows about this, I should have thought of this... Then what else? What kind of 'surprise' did you leave me?"

"There is a letter," Gawain Cecil's lips seemed to curl up, "Charlie left for you now."

"A letter?!" Gao Wen's eyes widened in an instant. Today's accidents happened one after another, so that the indifference he had honed over the years could not hold back now, "Charlie left me ?”

"Is it surprising? Since he knows the whole thing, of course he also knows of your existence. Although you can't meet, he also has something to communicate with you—and it's for you today, with me. A letter was the best way we could think of at that time," Gawain Cecil said calmly, and then he raised a hand, Gawain didn't see him make any movement to fetch something, the letter The letter appeared in his hands out of thin air, "I keep it deep in my soul. Originally, it should come directly to the earth with you as a part of memory, but an accident delayed this matter until today, but now I finally have the opportunity to hand it over to you." It's in your hands."

Gawain looked at the letter, hesitated for a moment before stretching out his hand to take it in his hand. Before opening the letter, he looked at the figure in front of him who looked exactly like himself,

The latter just smiled and nodded slightly at him.

Gao Wen took a deep breath to let his heartbeat slowly calm down, and then he opened the letter that has been passed down from memory to this day, and the lines written several centuries ago came into his eyes——

"My friend, I hope this letter did not surprise you too much. In our limited knowledge, we really can't think of a better way to communicate with someone who may not come to us until decades or even hundreds of years after our death." The existence of the world establishes communication, the lifespan of human beings is too short, and the soul is fragile and difficult to preserve, and I don’t want to give my mind to necromancy or the ethereal blessings of the gods. After thinking about it, I can only write you a letter ...

"You might think that this 'communication' is pointless, because by the time you get this letter, I might already be a part of the dirt, but for us short-lived, world-bound creatures, there's a lot to see. Actions that seem meaningless are worth doing, because even after death, we still have many things that we can't let go of.

"If you can read this letter, you must have fulfilled the agreement as Gao Wenqing said, and you must have descended to the earth and set about revitalizing this fragmented world, right?

"Is the food produced in the Holy Spirit Plain enough to eat? Shouldn't people freeze to death on the northwest border now? Anthony has always wanted to build a strong city in the eastern region. Has that city been built?

"I really want to see what the world looks like in your era. I don't have enough imagination, and I can't outline the future scenery, but I think it will at least be a better era than now, right?

"Our time...is not great. Don't get me wrong, I still love this land, everyone on it and everything we have built together, but even so, we live in a difficult world, There is always not enough food to eat, and the weather in the north is colder than we knew when we set off. The warm place is too close to the wasteland, and the safe place is frozen for thousands of miles. We have cultivated this strange and cold land Many years, but this land still sees us as strangers...

"But in your era, this should already be a memory of the past, right?

"Friend—I don't know if you will regard me as a friend, but I want to call you that. Gao Wenqing said that you will inherit his memory, his body and name, and in the years of coming to the earth, you will be another One him. Although for an existence like you, this may be just a temporary body, but he told me that you are trustworthy and worthy of entrusting many things, and I have always trusted him, so now I I also trust you.

"I believe——if you are willing to abide by this agreement that spans time, and even pay attention to a group that may disappear in the blink of an eye in your eyes, then you will definitely be able to realize the things that Gao Wenqing and I imagined.

"So I entrust it all to you, a mess, a rotten world, a race with no future, a civilization shattered into pieces, whatever you want to call them - but please cherish them, because even No matter how bad it is, this is what we have all the way to this day, and it is our most precious treasure.

"A friend you've never met, C."

The letter is not long. This is not a letter conveying amazing secrets, nor is it a suicide note explaining important events of the family and country. As if deliberately wanting to leave a trace in Gawain's memory, Charlie left such a page of text, and after Gawain finished reading the letter, the text began to gradually disappear into the darkness.

After all, they are not real substances, but only projections reflected by memory.

Gawain raised his head, and he saw that the figure sitting in front of him suddenly began to fade and disappear.

After all, this is just a ray of consciousness that Ms. Ye has forcibly kept for centuries - not even soul fragments.

"Looks like it's time to say goodbye," Gawain Cecil's phantom stood up with a relaxed expression on his face, "I stayed here to deliver this letter, and now I finally send this last It's done."

Gao Wen also stood up, he stared at the figure in front of him silently, and finally broke the silence with a deep voice after a while: "Do you know, in fact, Charlie and the 'Ansu Kingdom' you entrusted to me were established a few years ago. It has become history—the kingdom is dying, and I can only send it to the last mile with my own hands."

Gawain Cecil looked into Gawain's eyes quietly, and then suddenly laughed: "I know, that 'lady' has already told me—but do you know, in fact, centuries ago, Charlie and I had already guessed that there might be such a possibility."

Gao Wen frowned: "You guessed it?"

"Yes, I guessed it," Gawain Cecil nodded lightly, "Dynasty has no eternity, and the kingdom that a group of refugees put together in a hurry is even more difficult to say how rich it is. There is no "valve" that can assist the royal family to maintain absolute authority like the Deep Blue Well, and there is no strict system and detailed historical materials passed down by the Gondor Empire for thousands of years. The pioneers are heroes, but what can the descendants of heroes be? They are only descendants That's all...we don't even dare to think about how rotten Ansu will be after decades, hundreds of years, or dozens of generations.

"So we thought at the time, if it was you, if you had actually seen the 'landscape' you described to me, then you probably wouldn't be able to stand the mess—and so what if it wasn't mess? Our generation The foundation laid by humans determines the upper limit of the kingdom's development, and this upper limit... is far from enough to fight against the tide of demons and gods.

"So it's gone when Ansu is gone. The living can't control the affairs behind him. Charlie never thought that the dynasty he created would last forever-of course, I don't know if he will still think so in his later years. Got it, after all he was very young when I left.

"But then again, what do you think? After inheriting my memory, when you overthrew that dying kingdom with your own hands, did you have any hesitation in your heart? Now standing in front of me, how do you feel about your original Do you have any doubts about your decision?"

"I didn't hesitate at all," Gao Wen smiled, looking at the figure in front of him calmly, "and after seeing you, I was so open-minded that I had no doubts - the dying kingdom is not worth keeping, and In my opinion, what you and Charlie have entrusted to me is not the 'Kingdom of Ansu', but what you have entrusted to me is the things in this land and their future. From this point of view, I think I have done a good job. good."

The phantom of Gawain Cecil's eyes widened in surprise. He stared at Gawain for a long time before suddenly laughing, and said while laughing: "If Charlie is here, it will definitely be because of you Clap your hands and applaud this sentence—how do you think he will evaluate your calmness?"

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "How would he evaluate it?"

The tall phantom took half a step forward, raised his hand and patted Gawain on the shoulder——

"Gao Wenqing is right."

Then, the phantom dissipated.

...

Gawain blinked, and he saw that he was in a giant city shrouded in chaotic sky. Rows of houses stretched out in the distance, and weird spiers pointed to the sky like a forest, and a majestic figure stood in front of him. In the center of this giant city, the figure was overlooking the land, a pair of amber eyes staring at him from the depths of the hazy clouds.

"It seems that you are done talking." Ms. Ye's voice descended from the sky, calm and gentle.

"How long have we been talking?"

"In a split second."

"I thought it was a long time ago..."

Ms. Ye's voice stopped for a moment, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke again: "How do you feel? I regained my memory and saw the remaining consciousness again. Do you have anything to say?"

Gao Wen thought about it seriously, and as his expression gradually relaxed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "There is a sense of relief that has successfully stepped over a step in life and let go of a burden."

"That's good, I was still worried about whether these materials would cause trouble to you," Ms. Ye said with a hint of a smile in her voice, "Now it seems that my judgment is correct."

"Your judgment?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "How did you judge?"

A voice descended from the sky: "You are more generous."

Gao Wen: "..."

At this moment, the Lady Ye in his eyes seemed to overlap for a moment with a certain shadow assault goose he was familiar with, but before he could think about anything, that lazy and majestic voice came from the sky again: "Okay, now that a private matter is settled, it's time for us to move on to the next step."

Gao Wen took a deep breath when he heard the words, the experience just now had made him realize that this "covenant of the ancient gods" was far more outrageous than he expected, and the Ms. He didn't know how many heart-challenging things were waiting for him. He straightened his expression and controlled his heartbeat, and then he raised his head and looked into the eyes of the sky: "What's next? A message from the sailor?"

"Oh, put that at the end—the next thing we're going to talk about is still your matter," Ms. Ye said with a chuckle, "Believe me, nothing about you is more important than the sailor or the fate of this world." Simple."

The other party's words made Gao Wen's expression immediately serious, and he frowned slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"Over the years, you have made many great achievements," Ms. Ye said unhurriedly, "Revitalize the southern border, unify the country, lead an era, and even integrate the civilization on this planet—you recovered the wasteland, You have defeated the gods, and now you will lead the world to fight against the demon tide and complete the last test before civilization marches towards the starry sky...

"What an astonishing achievement, and in many people's minds, these achievements are all in one person, so when you completed these great achievements, was there a moment, even if it was just a moment, that you realized that you have become... like a god?"
