In the Dark Moon's house, Chen Rui sat on the ground, looking at the dark clouds covering the sky. He took a sip of wine and remained silent.
Empty wine bottles lay scattered on the ground. In fact, Chen Rui was not a drinker, but he was influenced by his 2 drunkard partners. In addition, drinking between friends was one of the most common etiquette in this world, so his real alcohol tolerance (without using strength to cheat) was slowly trained. However, it was the first time he drank for several days in a row like this.
After returning to the Dark Moon from the Earth Realm, Chen Rui had hardly eaten anything or done anything else except drinking. He was just silent.
Moore, his best friend, left him forever. It was so sudden that he almost had no time to accept it, and he couldn't accept it.
The other 5 Elemental Kings, including the close Lambost, Seth, and Hegel who seemed to be the least like a friend, were actually all friends.
The feeling of "losing" was simply indescribable in words or words.
Rolla was facing the most dangerous and difficult road. When she needed help and comfort the most, he could do nothing. He couldn't even stay by her side.
Although Moore said that this was fate, if there was no elemental source power and origin fragment, then everything would not become like this today. So what if I can defeat Raphael, Abaddon, and even Michael and Satan? I still can't change these and change the so-called fate.
Fate … how can I overcome it?
Chen Rui took a sip thoughtfully, and he found that the wine bottle in his hand was empty again. Another bottle appeared in his hand. Before he unscrewed the bottle cap, the bottle of wine suddenly flew out of his hand and into the hands of the figure behind him.
"It's boring to drink alone." Paglio's voice sounded.
"I just want to drink some wine too." The poison dragon sat next to Chen Rui. With a skillful bite of his teeth, the bottle cap flew out and touched the new bottle in Chen Rui's hand. He raised his head and the bottle bottomed out after a few gulps.
"Hey, you're too stingy to drink like this." Paglio looked at Chen Rui and took a sip slowly, "Shouldn't the guy who wants to drown his sorrows drink it all in one go?"
Chen Rui shook his head, "The guy who comes to persuade people not to drown their sorrows shouldn't persuade people to drink like you, right?"
"I'm not a naggy guy. Besides, there are already so many women worrying about your affairs. I just want to drink some wine. Give me a few more bottles." Paglio was not a polite person. He took all the bottles of wine that Chen Rui took out.
"You drink slowly …" Chen Rui looked at Paglio's drinking speed, "That is the tribute of purple berry wine that Catherine gave me. The quantity is limited, so there will be no more after drinking."
The poison dragon sneered, "Hehe, Her Majesty Empress is all you. What's this little bit of wine? But then again, the 'special supply' is different. The fragrance of this wine is extremely mellow, far better than ordinary goods. It's a pity that Lomont is about to break through and is cultivating behind closed doors. Otherwise, he will definitely sniff and float over. How much stock do you have? Take them all out. Don't be stingy! "
"Well, you win." Chen Rui smiled bitterly and took out another 4 or 5 bottles, "There's really no more."
The two of them drank and chatted on and off.
"I understand your current mood very well." Paglio took a big sip of wine, "If it was before, I might not understand."
Chen Rui understood the meaning of the poison dragon. The Paglio who was born with only an eggshell was a completely self-centered guy. He was a typical dragon that would be destroyed if he didn't look out for himself. But now it was different. He already had friends and lovers, and he had risked his life to protect them more than once in battle, so Paglio understood the sadness of losing a close friend.
"There's no need to explain or shirk anything. You said it yourself that no one is perfect, and there is no smooth sailing in life. You may have done the right thing, or you may have done the wrong thing, but what's done is done. Why look back so much? It's better to think about what to do in the future. "
With that said, Paglio exhaled a breath of alcohol and stretched, "However, there is always a process of adaptation or mediation, whether it's mood or attitude. Just like when I first learned that I suddenly had a father in the human world, Ryūzoku, I even fell out with Palgoris on the spot. It took a long time before I let go of my depression."
"I'm not as conflicted as you." Chen Rui drank the last bit of alcohol in the bottle in his hand, but no new bottle appeared in his hand, "Actually, it's not that I can't figure it out, I'm just thinking about some problems."
"Don't flatter yourself. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. I just want to take the opportunity to satisfy my alcohol addiction." Paglio patted his butt and stood up, "Little Betty has said these days that she wants me to try the secret recipe of having children, but I have to quit drinking for a while first. This is really sad, but she is still watching me closely. However, if I can give birth to a daughter as obedient as Duoduo, it's not bad. Yes … Duoduo, Duoduo will be here soon. I'll go first. Find a place to immediately evaporate the alcohol, lest the little girl smells it and goes to Little Betty to complain. "
After the poison dragon finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash. Chen Rui turned around and saw a small head poking out from the wall behind him. It was his precious daughter.
"Duoduo."
Children were actually quite sensitive. Duoduo had long noticed that her father was very depressed. She had been careful these days and did not disturb Chen Rui. Hearing her father's call, the little girl immediately walked out and walked to Chen Rui step by step. She hugged Chen Rui's neck and gently touched Chen Rui's face with her face.
"Dad …"
Chen Rui hugged his daughter lovingly, "What's wrong?"
"Aunt Kia, let me call you to eat."
"Got it."
"Dad, let's go eat now, okay? Duoduo hasn't eaten with dad for a few days … "
Looking at the expectation flashing in his daughter's big bright eyes, Chen Rui's heart suddenly became soft. He took a deep breath, stood up, and showed a long-lost smile on his face, "Okay."
The little girl, who completed the difficult task given by Aunt Kia, happily flew up and kissed her father. Then, she pulled Chen Rui to the courtyard.
Compared with the haze in this sky, the other sky looked bright and dazzling.
Sunlight shone on the dense and verdant forest, and the canopy of the trees reflected countless beams of light, rendering the somewhat cold forest even warmer.
There was a small thatched cottage in the middle of the dense forest. At the door of the cottage, there was a tall and slender female figure wearing a cool short robe. She had a beautiful face and a pair of silver eyes. Her long dark green hair was slightly curled, and the two sides of her pointed ears faintly revealed.
"Qi Lanya."
A hoarse voice came from the side. It turned out that there was a figure in a dark green cloak beside this elf woman. Compared to the outstanding temperament of the elves, this figure was more like smoke in the dark. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it was the shade of a tree.
"Father …" From the way Qi Lanya addressed him, it could be seen that this cloaked person was the most famous legendary prophet of the elves, Alucier.
"You still don't seem to be in a good mood?"
"Indeed." Qi Lanya sighed, "No matter which elf it is, after knowing that the Tree of Nature was taken away by a treacherous fellow, they would not be in a good mood. What makes me even more depressed is that the 'mastermind' of this matter is actually my own father."
"That's right. I was the one who asked Finoya to tell Prince 'Arthur' not to let the Tree of Nature return to the forest as promised." Alucier paused the wooden staff in her hand and staggered a few steps forward.
"I don't know why you did this. Father should have heard the dissatisfaction of the elves. Everyone is questioning your decision to let that person take away the Tree of Nature. You are the highest teacher of the elves. For so many years, the elves have always believed in you. However, the Tree of Nature is the most important sacred tree of the elves. It is also the Tree of Life that concerns the life and death of the elves. It was an unbelievable decision to let an outsider control the sacred tree. Now that that person has not returned by the deadline, at least on the surface, it has caused a very bad influence. Not only you, the legendary prophet, but even Her Majesty Liv has been affected. "
"Is that all?" Alucier smiled. Although half of her face looked hideous and swollen, the other half was filled with kindness. "Actually, what you're most angry about is that I've only just told you the truth."
Qi Lanya curled her lips, "Hmph, Father has a few disciples, but only one daughter. Especially your daughter, who is also the disciple with the most true teachings. Why did you keep it a secret from me for so long? Didn't you say that I also have the talent of Great Prophecy? "
"Prophecy is not a talent worth celebrating. On the contrary, the more you can see the trajectory of the future, the more you will struggle and suffer. Moreover, the future that we see is only a possible trajectory. Every time we foresee it, it may be different. Perhaps because you see it, it is also changing."
"Since the future is changing, why do you still insist on letting that human control the Tree of Nature?"
"Because … some things, no matter how many times you foresee them, will not change." Alucier clenched the withered staff in her hand. "This is' fate '. Fate is stubborn and almost irreversible, but it does not mean that it is absolute. But if you only rely on foresight, you will definitely not be able to change it. "
"So, you are trying to change it through certain changes?" Qi Lanya thought for a while and suddenly shuddered. "Then, you let that human take care of the Tree of Nature …"
As Alucier's true disciple and the owner of the Great Prophecy talent, Qi Lanya seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she did not continue speaking, but her face revealed a look of fear.
"The next time you see that human, give this to him."
Qi Lanya looked at the item that appeared in her hand, and revealed a look of surprise. "This is …"
Alucier did not answer, and only looked up at the sky. The clear sky that was cloudless a moment ago had suddenly darkened, and the sun was blocked by a large patch of dark clouds. Rumbling thunder sounded in the dense fog, and it seemed that it was going to rain soon.
Behind the cloak, Alucier's two different eyes became deep at the same time, as though they could see through the dark clouds, as well as time and space. After a long while, she let out a long sigh. "The sky is finally changing."
