Chapter 320 Returning to Crotor

"What's going on? The night devil has invaded?" Phoebe picked up the bow reflexively.

"No, my brother did something good." Kali said calmly, "If you stay in my house for a few more days, you will get used to this kind of explosion."

"By the way, I remember that your brother seems to like to play with guns..."

"He applied for the Weapons Research Institute under the Royal Academy of Sciences." Kali sat down and said, "What I can't believe is that he was admitted."

"Really? Congratulations!"

"The other party spoke highly of him, saying he was the most talented person they had ever seen. My parents almost dislocated their jaws when they heard that. Even I couldn't believe that this guy who was tearing down houses like a husky all day I'm going to be a researcher."

"He really has the foresight. Now the weapons research institute is the hottest unit in the country. Even the queen said that the budget for firearms research and development should be increased."

"Hey, I was worried that he would gnaw at the old man for the rest of his life, but now I'm finally relieved. It's time to kick him out of the house." Kali said in the tone of the elder sister.

"Although you usually look indifferent, you actually care about your family in your bones." Phoebe laughed.

"Concerned?" Kali smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Zero also told me that you are the most sensitive among the three of us."

"Hahaha! Don't tease me, how could people from the executioner family have feelings."

"Huh? Now you admit that you are a member of the executioner family? Didn't you still make a noise to draw a line with the family?" Phoebe teased.

"I thought about it." A trace of sadness appeared on Kali's face, "but then I found that no matter how far I went, even to the other side of the sea, I still couldn't get rid of the shadow of my family."

"Why do you say that?"

"I found that I only feel sad for people I know well. If someone who is not related to me dies, I don't feel it at all. Not long ago, hundreds of people died in the battle I experienced, and I was in When carrying their bodies, it felt like carrying objects. Many people cried during the moment of silence, but I didn’t cry because I didn’t feel any sadness in my heart. I didn’t know them, and their deaths couldn’t shake me.”

"Actually, everyone is like this. They only care about those close to them, and don't care about others."

"Are you the same?"

"Well...Although I also feel sad for people who are not related to me, but that kind of sadness is very shallow, and I forget it after a while. It is completely incomparable with the heart-piercing pain when someone I know well dies."

"So, everyone perceives the world based on their own feelings. Humans are not noble creatures, right?" Kali smiled wryly.

"Maybe!"

"I thought I could find something different when I walked out of the house, but it turns out that the outside world is no different." Kali sighed, "Now I am often confused about what I want. You have all done something to the future. I have a clear plan, but I am still at a loss."

"Don't be confused!" Phoebe stood up immediately, "Of course the goal is to become the strongest knight in the galaxy! The captain has been the number one for so many years, so it's our turn, right? Let's move towards the strongest goal together!"

After speaking, Phoebe made an oye gesture out of the window.

"Sometimes I really envy your single cell..." Kali looked at Phoebe with a dark face.

Just the day before Phoebe and Kali's reunion, Cang Ling came to his hometown after ten years away: Keluoto Village alone.

Although after several years of purification, this place is no longer blocked, but still no one dares to come here.

The small mountain village that used to be smoky and beautiful, is now dead and silent, full of crazy weeds and broken walls covered with vines.

As soon as he stepped into the entrance of the village, Cang Ling's heart skipped a beat.

It was here that she lost her mother.

It was also here that she met Wolff for the first time, which opened the prelude to her career as a knight.

With a leap, Cang Ling jumped onto the cliff, and the familiar hillside appeared in front of him immediately.

When she saw the hut on the top of the mountain, Cang Ling's legs couldn't help but feel weak. She took out the necklace from her collar and held it tightly in her hand for a long time before mustering up the courage to go to the top of the mountain.

With every step she took, Cang Ling felt herself getting smaller. When she finally reached the door of her long-lost home, she seemed to have turned back to the eight-year-old, the carefree little girl who acted like a baby in the arms of her parents. girl.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Cang Ling looked into the room and said.

The house is still the same as it was before. The furniture that my father made with my own hands and the carpet made by my mother are still intact and brand new.

The caved-in roof and the broken table had been restored, with her favorite potato soup and Dad's favorite lettuce salad.

There is a faint woody fragrance in the air, which is the unique smell of the house.

"Ling, you're back!" Mom came over with a smile on her plate, "Hurry up and eat!"

"What words did you teach today?" The father in the corner asked with a smile, "Have you learned all of them?"

"Well, taught eight new words, goat, fence, and nightingale..."

"You remember it? Awesome!" Mom wiped her hand on her apron and patted her head happily.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Cang Ling asked.

"Is this?" Dad looked at the things in his hand and said with a smile, "It's a desk for you. It's too tiring to do homework on the dining table all the time. I think I should build you a desk that suits you."

"Thank you, it looks really nice." Cang Ling happily walked over.

"I said that you will grow taller soon, but your father insists on doing it." Mom said with a smile, "He also said that after you get married, you can use it for your grandson..."

"How tall are you now, zero? Let me measure it for you." Dad stood up and walked to the door frame.

On the door frame, there are several seals engraved, and each seal corresponds to a year.

Cang Ling followed and stood with his back to the door frame.

"Ling, you have grown taller." Dad carved a new mark on the door frame, "Look, you are so tall now."

Cang Ling looked back, and saw a new seal engraved high on the door frame, half a meter away from the old ones.

Cang Ling was taken aback, turned his head suddenly, and suddenly found that his parents were gone, the roof was also cracked, and the broken table lay quietly on the ground, with neither potato soup nor lettuce salad on it. .

My dad's furniture and my mom's rug are still there, but they're dusty and full of cobwebs.

In an instant, Cangling's tears welled up, and she fell to her knees with a plop, crying with tears streaming down her face: "Dad, Mom, I'm back, I'm back!"

However, the whole house was silent, and no voice answered her.
