Chapter 387 The End of Raven
What is the meaning of life?
It seems that these meaningless words are always appearing in many books. In the books that Byrne has read in his life, many great figures and wise men in history have thought about this common and complicated question.
All scholars have questions, and Byrne is no exception.
So after reading a lot of books, he couldn't help but think about it in the dead of night. What is the meaning of life?
But gradually he realized that perhaps the answer to this question cannot be found by thinking, but can only be experienced by a long time.
"..."
Byrne on the bed seemed to have suddenly recovered his strength and got up from the bed calmly. He quietly came to the outside of the room through "instant transfer".
When he came to the Fisher Manor, Byrne saw the young Hecate, Delia, and Art playing on the lawn. Although the three children were still very young, they would definitely be the mainstay of the Fisher family in the future.
Hecate looked at him strangely, wanting to say something, but finally said nothing.
Byrne felt that he had completely recovered his strength, so he continued to walk outside. He met many people along the way, but those people did not look at him, or even pay attention to him.
Darren was frowning and arguing with Christine in a wheelchair. He did not mind letting someone else be the head of Fisher's family, but he still did not want to give in to some of the family's future development policies. Christine's husband Andre wanted to stop it, but in the end he said nothing.
Byrne did not intervene, knowing that even if there were areas that needed to be adjusted, they would definitely be able to overcome that obstacle.
In the garden of Fisher Manor, Helen, who was originally in a depressed state, finally came out of the room. She comforted the sad spiritual dragon with her heart and decided to take over the care of it from now on.
He came to the glorious hall in the basement of Fisher Manor and saw the thin Archer accepting greetings from Yager and others. The boy responded reluctantly one by one.
Yager looked very happy. Obviously, the awakening of the Lost Lord was great news for him! The long steps to the gods, which had not made any progress for a long time, could finally go higher!
Moore's expression was full of pain. The death of his two younger brothers was unbearable for him. The expressions of the other people were different. Byrne looked at them one by one, but soon found that no one in the crowd was looking at him.
After leaving Fisher Manor and coming to Nasir City, many citizens heard that he was in poor health and was resting, so they spontaneously prayed for him, hoping that Mr. Byrne would get better.
He slowly walked past the people who were praying for him and soon met Felix.
Felix was responsible for helping everyone rebuild the city. His eyes were full of responsibility, and from time to time he would look back in the direction of Fisher Manor, with a very sad expression.
Unknowingly, Byrne had come to the edge of Nasir City and saw a man holding a package in one hand standing in a secluded corner.
That was Kano wearing a monocle. He looked in the direction of Fisher Manor with reluctance, but finally decided to embark on a journey alone.
Chris and Vanessa were relaxing in the suburbs. The elderly Vanessa talked a lot about her children, while Chris remained silent and listened very carefully.
Although Chris didn't say anything, Byrne and Vanessa were the only two people who could see that even though he seemed emotionless, he was actually very tired and sad because of the departure of his relatives and friends.
In a moment, Byrne returned to Fisher Manor and suddenly saw Hecate holding a ball in the garden. The little girl, known as the "Daughter of Devil", looked at him and stared for a long time.
"What are you looking at, Hecate?"
She finally couldn't help asking:
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
"Me?"
Byrne suddenly woke up from the bed, and heard the sound of insects at night.
It was already late, and the night was quiet and deep.
He suddenly realized that he had not left the room from the beginning, but fell asleep in bed, and everything just now was just a dream.
Is it just a dream...
Byrne looked out the window calmly, the night gently spread its deep and quiet canvas, the moonlight was like a wash, the silver light was scattered, covering everything with a soft and mysterious veil, the stars were like pearls inadvertently scattered by the universe, flickering on the dark sky.
The breeze gently brushed over the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness and tranquility, and the leaves whispered rustlingly, as if it was a nocturne that calmed the soul.
"I didn't eat anything at night, and suddenly I regretted it. I didn't expect to be a little hungry."
"How long have I not felt hungry? I really want to eat the roast pork in Black Mountain Town, and the beef soup in Fein's old store..."
"..."
Occasionally, one or two night birds chirped in the distance outside the window, crisp and distant.
"I can't sleep."
He slowly closed his eyes on the bed, and began to recall calmly in his heart. Because of the "deep memory", most of the past events in his life became extremely clear and visible.
Sometimes, Byrne even regarded "deep memory" as a curse, because those painful moments could not be dispelled for a long time.
But he also understood that "deep memory" would preserve the moment of happiness forever, so it was not only a curse but also an important blessing.
Immersed in the quiet memory, Byrne saw Lillian who had left not long ago in the night.
"I'll be there soon, Lillian." He whispered to his daughter.
Soon, Byrne saw Best in his memory again. The smiling man was still full of mystery and danger, and had a temperament that made him want to get close to him.
But when Byrne was about to speak, he found that Best had disappeared out of thin air, as if he was not there.
He was silent for a while and continued to look back in his memory, and finally saw Irene.
"Irene... I've been tired all these years, but I can finally be relieved and go to you."
"The Lost Lord is waiting for you."
Irene nodded gently and disappeared immediately, and the person who appeared again was Margaret.
Byrne took a deep breath, walked forward and hugged his only lover, and the two hugged each other quietly for a long time.
He had always been sorry, and tears finally flowed down.
Sorry, Margaret.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Margaret's figure smiled and dissipated with the wind, and then Eric, who was regarded as his adopted son, appeared. He just nodded to Byrne calmly and no longer appeared.
Then, he came to a green jungle, and saw his father who had passed away decades ago in the warm wind.
Lucius sat on a stone and quietly sharpened his sword, the blade shining brightly in the sun.
"Thank you, Byrne, for revenge for me."
He looked up at his son and continued:
"You are doing better than me now, and you are stronger than I used to be. I have always loved you and am proud of you."
"Although, I... have never been able to express it truly."
"I have always known."
Byrne nodded gently and continued: "It is not me who is strong, but everyone in the Fisher family, everyone in the Dawn Cult, and Him..."
"Maybe, anyway, you are the one who would say that, haha."
Gradually, his father's figure disappeared, and he returned to a familiar yet unfamiliar study room. He could smell the stimulating smell of oil paintings in his nose, and his mother's gentle hands were placed on his shoulders behind him.
The mother smiled and said softly: "Byrne, I hope you will become a painter in the future."
"But even if you are not a painter, it's okay. In my heart, as long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."
Byrne took a deep breath, turned his head calmly and looked at his gentle mother, asking:
"Mom, what is the meaning of life?"
...
...
...
"Everything you see."
...
...
...
Finally.
All the scenes disappeared.
In the completely pure white space, the old Byrne stood there, his expression was very calm, his chest was full of strength and courage, and not far in front of him was a transparent bottle and a huge black cross light suspended on it.
The black light looked full of hope.
He slowly stepped forward, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the boundless white space.
Getting closer.
Reaching out.
The moment he touched the black cross light, Byrne's old and weak body suddenly underwent a magical change! Getting younger, full of youth and vitality! The pure white space around him turned into a paradise in the forest. The fragrance of flowers and plants made people feel happy just by breathing, and all they could hear were laughter and joy!
His steps became light and powerful, no longer staggering, but like a deer in early spring, jumping happily on the beautiful forest trail!
Byrne completely turned back into the black-haired child, and in front of him stood important relatives.
The relatives looked at Byrne with a smile.
"I'm here."
So Byrne quickened his pace and walked towards where Lucius, his mother, Irene, Lillian and others were, with a happy smile on his face.
...
...
...
"Look..."
Darren and Christine stopped arguing, the children stopped playing, Felix, Chris, and many people in the city of Nasir raised their heads at the same time.
They saw.
A raven flew across the sky.
