Chapter 596 The setting sun in the homeland, the sorrow of separation

"Neva, are you alright?"

Tagul, who had already learned the truth from other white clothes, hugged his younger brother tightly.

Then he was pushed away helplessly by the latter.

Thagul, who had all his strength taken away, was almost an ordinary person except for his relatively strong body.

Of course, considering the opponent's combat experience, it is still a matter of minutes to beat a senior hunter with a few efforts.

However, if it is against Neva who has two powers of the taboo king at this moment, it is obviously not enough.

"Okay, okay, people in their thirties, what are you doing so sensational?"

Neva shook his head, and then put his palm on Tagul's shoulder.

"Give back what belongs to you first."

The next moment, as a layer of black light lines spread from the skin of Tagul's body, a steady stream of essence was instilled back into Tagul's empty body.

"This is..." Tagul looked at his body in astonishment, then as if realizing something, he directly summoned a ball of black flames on his palm.

"Before that fellow, Taotie, was about to die, I squeezed out the last bit of stuff. I threw all the intelligence and information into your head. You can go and see for yourself when you have time, big brother."

After doing this, Neva stretched his limbs and yawned deeply like a social animal who stayed up all night and worked overtime for three days and three nights.

"It's a pity that I can't give you my concept. It seems that there are some taboos in it... Even with my sublimated body, it is already close to the limit to bear two concepts before, and it can only last for half an hour at most. That's all."

"Neva, your body..." Thagul just lowered his head and tightly clutched Neva's pale arm, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

"..."

After a brief silence, Neva, who wanted to make some nonsense to deal with it, looked at Tagul's serious face, and could only sigh, and finally decided to tell the truth.

Slightly restraining his smile, he said with some regret: "Taking shortcuts... there is always a price to pay."

"Flower of life, crystalline worms, ancient secret medicine... all of these are useless?!" Thagul yelled out the name of the healing medicine he could think of, full of hope, but he didn't get Neva. An affirmative answer.

"It's useless. This is an inherent lack of the origin of the taboo, and it cannot be restored by adding that bit of vitality."

Seeing that Tagur was about to put his arm on his shoulder without saying a word, Neva took a step back without saying a word, and grabbed the latter's wrist with his left arm.

"Even if you give me all your origins, it's useless... Besides, didn't I say before that even I can't bear two forbidden origins. You will only make me die faster by doing so."

Hearing this, Tagul's body froze, and finally dropped his arms in frustration.

Unable to think of what to say for a while, Neva turned her head and waved to the bewildered stone man.

The latter was stunned for a long time before walking over timidly with heavy steps.

By the way, it even circled the boss deliberately, just to avoid the Tagul in the middle.

"Bai Chang is so big, you have to practice your courage in the future." Neva sighed softly.

"But, big brother, second sister, and three brothers, they were all taken by this bad guy..."

While speaking, a trace of pain flashed in the stone man's eyes, and even a little bit of hatred could be seen vaguely.

Although he only met the other three Spirals for one night, Little Stone obviously regarded them as his family.

For their death right now, even though I know they died well, I still feel endless sadness.

"The form of life is not only alive, but they are not dead... A life form that reaches the taboo, even if it is only for a moment, will have the ability to return from the memory of other life forms. In a sense, it is simply a meme Pollution."

"But all in all...they will never be memories."

Whether it is the Golden Tree, the Queen of Wind Flowers or the Moonlight Walker, they are all miraculous lives born at the moment when Neva awakened her abilities based on certain circumstances and coincidences.

Even if Neva were to try again, he might not be able to create another existence like them.

At most, it is like a stone man, a strange life with relatively weak strength in the initial stage of birth, although it is born with self-awareness and infinite potential for evolution.

"Then, while there is still some time." Neva brushed her pale hair aside, smiled at the obsessed Tagul, "There are some places I want to go but have never been..."

"Brother, do you want to go and see together?"

Under the moonlight, Tagul slowly raised his head and looked at Neva's face in a daze, with a hearty smile like a child's, but his vision became blurred unconsciously.

……

During the remaining three days, something extremely unusual happened across the continent.

The king of the human side, the incomparably powerful [Annihilation Qing] changed his previous relative restraint with other taboo kings, and led a certain companion to break into various forbidden places one after another.

Hundred Dragons, Tiantian Mountain, Qianjian Mountain, and even the ancient city of Shurad where the black dragon is stationed...

Facing the king of taboo who is like a lunatic who wipes out all creatures that stand in his way, no race is willing to stop him, so he can only let two people pass.

Of course, many ancient races, even Gu Long, were deeply ashamed of this matter, secretly planning whether to take revenge in other ways.

But soon, something made them completely stop thinking about it.

The rumored black dragon of tyrannical personality and bloodthirsty murderousness, after a brief stalemate, voluntarily let the two of them enter his lair without even the slightest hesitation.

No one knows why, only that since that day, one of the black dragon's eyes has never been opened again, and even occasionally a pure white feather will be squeezed out from the inside.

Even after a long time, it will actively destroy that eye from time to time, allowing it to regenerate... It seems that as long as it takes a while, this eye will mutate into something extremely terrifying.

Some kind of indescribable pollution seems to stay on the black dragon forever.

one afternoon three days later
Having had an addictive adventure, Neva, who had traveled to almost all forbidden places for humans with Tagul, fell heavily on a bench with a backrest with a happy expression of an old urchin.

Behind them was a small wooden house covered with moss and weeds.

That was their former home.

"Tut~tsk~tsk!"

Looking at the golden sea under the hillside, the wheat waves fluctuating in the autumn wind, Neva's wrinkled face was full of contented smiles.

"Hey, I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied..." Although the body is rapidly aging within three days, it is still taboo, and Neva's state at this time is far stronger than it looks.

Feeling Neva's dimmer vitality, like a candle in the wind, Tagul, who didn't want to disappoint his younger brother, forced a smile.

"Your smile is uglier than a ghost, brother..." Neva complained vigorously.

After speaking, he stretched his limbs and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair.

"I've been to so many places, but in the end, the scenery in my own home is the most comfortable."

"Yeah, this is the place where we grew up after all." Tagul reached out to take the half of the golden wheat ears blown by the wind, and smiled unconsciously on his face, "Speaking of which, you used to It’s not good, but it’s fine, but I always like to run in the mud here.”

"I've beaten you a lot for this."

"The more the child rolls in the mud, the better the body. Didn't you say it yourself, the old folk recipe?" Neva whistled and muttered.

"I thought you didn't believe this..." Thagul said with narrowed eyes, feeling the extremely gentle breeze blowing on his face.

"I don't believe it, but the more I don't believe it, the more I want to try... And every time I come here, I always feel more comfortable. Of course, it may be the so-called placebo effect."

"You guys... are really hard to serve."

The two brothers chatted one after another, sitting at the door of their house, admiring the familiar scenery that they hadn't seen for more than ten years, as if they had temporarily forgotten all their troubles.

They chatted for a long time until the sunset in the sky gradually lowered, but they still had endless topics to talk about.

Of course, most of the time, it was Tagul who was talking, and Neva just responded intermittently, and yawned a few times from time to time.

"Our original wish has basically come true, Neva."

"yes……"

"My parents would be very happy if they knew that we would have achieved what we have achieved today."

"Um……"

"Although it was crazy a few days ago, I really enjoyed myself..."

Tagul patted his thigh, talking incessantly.

The speed of speech is so fast that it seems that he wants to say everything he wants to say in this life in one breath.

"Also, the blow you gave the black dragon was really cruel. Now that I think of its astonished expression at that time, I can't help laughing."

"Also~ Also, the monster we met on the beach that day, good guy is really big enough, it looks like an island from a distance... I am going to name it [Big Rock Dragon], it is probably another one Nearly taboo monster."

"What do you think?"

After waiting for a long time, Tagul still didn't hear any response.

"Neva, are you listening?"

His body trembled slightly, and he slowly turned his head and looked to the side.

In sight, Neva with an old face was leaning back on the chair safely, as if asleep, with his eyes closed.

The breeze blew through his withered hair, revealing a face full of age spots and wrinkles underneath, but unexpectedly filled with a serene smile.

Under the lonely sunset, Tagul slowly lowered his head into the crook of his arms, his back trembling weakly.

The sound of sobbing was faintly visible in the bleak autumn wind, mixed with bursts of crying from time to time.

At that moment, there was neither a [King of Taboo] nor a human hero...

The only thing left was a down-and-out middle-aged man who was crying like a broken child, wailing heart-piercingly.
