Chapter 109 Father and Son
Ialien put away his phone, raised his head and looked around.
This is what the town of Titanos looked like three hundred and seventy-one years ago. It looks roughly the same as the new town. At the entrance of the town, there is also an identical adventurer's tavern.
The town was deserted, the streets deserted. The open door of the Zhenkou tavern on the roadside swayed in the wind and made a creaking sound, as if it was an invitation to Ialien.
Ialien accepted the invitation and walked into the tavern with a giant sword on his back. Sitting in front of the bar was a familiar man with short silver hair.
Ialien looked slightly startled, walked to him, pulled out a bar chair and sat down.
"You have grown up." Lei turned to look at his son, whom he had never seen since parting, and smiled happily: "You look a lot like your mother."
"Many people say I look like you." Ialien answered smoothly. He wiped the sweat from his palms calmly, suddenly not knowing how to get along with his father.
The thunder in this illusion is different from the 'thunder' in the 'dream' constructed by Heparos.
The two people in that 'dream' were phantoms projected by Hepalos on a small piece of their souls and emotions based on its memories and impressions. If you want to use Mo Yu's words, it is probably "an AI program that has fully learned everything about his parents and can calculate reactions based on his personality."
But in this illusion centered on the obsession and soul of Ray Eclosia, everything here is made of real Ray.
——Maybe mixed with some pollution and ‘impurities’ from other dead people, but this is indeed the closest thing to the true form of Lei.
"Like me, that's not a good thing." Lei looked at the wine glass in front of him sadly, "Our bloodline carries countless burdens and responsibilities... The expectations of the people are both sweet wine and pressure. A curse in your heart that makes you breathless.”
"I know that feeling." Ialien said softly.
Lei turned sideways, looked at Ialien carefully, and sighed slightly: "I once thought that I could become a high mountain and hold up a sky for you and your mother. As long as I am here, you can quickly Be a happy and carefree little prince without having to carry a heavy burden and move forward...
But I didn't expect that you would be responsible for everything after all.
How many years has this been? "
"Year 371." Ialien replied.
"...You are 371 years old...and you are a man." Lei said, "Your mother, is she okay?"
"371 years ago, she failed to return to the Elven Territory." Ialien lowered his eyes, and his long silver eyelashes trembled. "She was with the wolf on the central mountain range outside the town of Kataruan on the southwest border of the Church of Light. They fought hard to the last moment and saved me, but at the cost of their own lives.
I was adopted by the Church of Light and was chosen as the Holy Son. I almost became a vessel for the God of Light to descend...
