Chapter 250 Gravekeeper and Glory City

Lu Mo has been doing nothing for several days since Sin City entered the city defense stage. In addition to the time before the city defense stage, Lu Mo felt that if he stayed like this, he would soon get rusty all over his body. .The equipment prepared for everyone was almost finished, and Zhu Gui could go to grab some food, because Zhu Gui couldn't get in touch with the Pure Land because of the city defense stage.

"Captain, thank you, it's very smooth."

"Hahaha, I finally have a handy weapon. It has long been seen that almost everyone in the Capital Corps has it, and finally I have it too..."

"I really hope to go out and try the equipment quickly. There are obviously not many dragons outside. Why did the city lord order to enter the defense stage?"

Everyone in Team 35 and Wang Tong received equipment from Lu Mo.Everyone was in high spirits because of this, and with Wang Wei's help, Wang Tong tried on a full set of armor in a single match.Looking at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Mo's previous fatigue was finally not in vain.But the work at hand has long been finished, and he is really going to be sick these days.

Lu Mo was so bored that he simply left the Corps camp alone.The Supreme Master was leading his subordinates in the city at the moment, and there was nothing to do but eat something to go to Zhu Gui, so Lu Mo could only walk along the road yawning and yawning.Lu Mo walked through most of Sin City all the way. After passing the City Lord's Mansion and the central trading point, Lu Mo kept thinking about a corner of Sin City.

"Go and see him... Speaking of which, there are so many recent things..."

Lu Mo stopped and looked at the corner of Sin City in the distance. In the far corner, a large open space was used as a cemetery.Lu Mo's friend Zhao Chen was buried there by Lu Mo.And next to Zhao Chen's tomb is the tombstone that Lu Mo set up for himself.

Lu Mo walked towards the cemetery in the corner of Sin City. Because of the defense stage, it was rare for Lu Mo to see someone come to pay homage to the dead.Generally, those who died in Sin City rarely could be buried in the city's cemetery.Most of the members of the three major regiments died on the battlefield, and usually only the seriously wounded and dead who returned to Sin City would be buried here.

Lu Mo was walking on the path among the cemeteries. Many tombstones looked old, and some were obviously erected not long ago.Some tombstones are engraved with the name of the deceased, as well as information such as the corps and position to which he belonged.There are also only one name on the tombstone, and nothing else is left.Lu Mo even saw some tombstones, which didn't even have names on them, and stood there so bare.

"My friend...Zhao Chen, how are you doing in another world?"

Lu Mo came to Zhao Chen's tombstone. Zhao Chen's tombstone was a piece of broken metal. Zhao Chen's tombstone was already full of rust. The name of Zhao Chen that Lu Mo had engraved had become unrecognizable at this time.Lu Mo took out some distributed supplies from his pocket and put them in front of Zhao Chen's tombstone as offerings.

Lu Mo stayed in front of Zhao Chen's tomb for a while, and then came to the tombstone set up for himself.Lu Mo's tombstone is also a broken piece of metal, and the degree of corrosion is much worse than Zhao Chen's.Lu Mo looked at the unrecognizable words on the tombstone, as if seeing the traces of the passage of time.When he set up this tombstone, Lu Mo didn't even know if he could survive, except for the belief that he must live no matter what.

"Has time really passed for a long time? Why..."

Lu Mo stood in front of his tombstone, talking to himself to his tombstone.Lu Mo didn't remember what he said, but he remembered that he mentioned many past events, talked about his parents, his younger brother Xiaowai and younger sister Xianer.Also talking about Lu Yunchuan, the man who sacrificed almost everything for the Lu family.Lu Mo talked about many people and many things, but he didn't talk about himself.

"Time really passes by quickly! Because..."

Lu Mo didn't say anything to himself this time. Lu Mo looked at the tombstone where he couldn't recognize his name, and Lu Mo himself couldn't recognize it either.Originally, Lu Mo still had the idea of ​​returning to the Pure Land. After returning to the Pure Land, in order to be able to meet his parents, to fulfill the promise with Lu and others, and to make Xianer the head of the Lu family, even the Luo Wang Particles would keep Lu Mo Mo was on the verge of death, and Lu Mo still persisted again and again.

When Lu Mo returned to Sin City again, apart from his parents' exhortation to "live no matter what", and the promise that Xian'er would witness her revive the Lu family, Lu Mo had already changed a lot from before.Lu Mo used to always work hard to live, no matter who or what hindered him, he would try his best to solve it.Now Lu Mo is less aggressive than before. As long as many things have nothing to do with him, Lu Mo will hang up.

"The me now, as long as I don't seek death myself, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to die..."

Lu Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed with emotion. Lu Mo glanced at his tombstone for the last time, and Lu Mo turned to leave.

"Little friend, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Huh? Gravekeeper..."

Just as Lu Mo took two steps, someone called him from behind. Lu Mo turned around and saw the man behind him wrapped in a gray robe. Lu Mo knew that this old man was the gravekeeper of the cemetery.The name of the tomb keeper is Lu Yu, and Lu Mo had chatted with him before. The tomb keeper not only brought out tea to entertain Lu Mo, but also Lu Mo learned to play chess from the tomb keeper. Chess on the chessboard.

"My little friend, if you have time, you might as well come over to my place for a while. It was very enjoyable to chat with you before."

"it is good."

After Lu Mo responded, he followed behind the grave guard. The grave guard led Lu Mo towards the depths of the cemetery. Lu Mo knew that there was an open space over there, and the grave guard had his wooden house there. Lu Mo Been there before.

Lu Mo followed the grave guard back to his wooden house, and the grave guard served Lu Mo with tea as last time, and at the same time laid out the chessboard.Lu Mo sat down on both sides of the chessboard with the grave guard. The grave guard poured a cup of fragrant tea for Lu Mo and handed Lu Mo a box of white chess pieces.Neither Lu Mo nor the tomb guard spoke. The two of them just sipped the tea in their cups silently and began to drop pieces on the chessboard.

"I see that little friend seems to be focusing on two things. I don't know what is distracting him? You might as well tell me and listen to see if I can help you."

The gravekeeper dropped a chess piece, and then picked up the teacup in front of him.While sipping tea, the gravekeeper opened his mouth to Lu Mo. Seeing that he no longer paid attention to the chess game, Lu Mo played another move casually.

"Since the senior is the grave guard, I think I have been in Sin City for some years. I have some doubts in my heart. I don't know if the senior can clear it up for me?"

"My friend, you're welcome. I'm just a cemetery keeper. I stay with these dead bones buried here all day long. If you have any questions, you can just ask. If I know, I will know everything I can say." .”

After Lu Mo made a move, the gravekeeper also made a move on the chessboard, and it was Lu Mo's turn to make a move.The two of them casually placed pieces on the chessboard, while chatting about the troubled things in Lu Mo's heart.Lu Mo talked to the gravekeeper about the rumors that had been circulating before, and Lu Mo talked to the gravekeeper about all the rumors that he thought might be based on facts.

"Little friend is really meticulous and quick-witted, but the rumors you mentioned, I can't tell which ones are true and which ones are false, but I can tell you a story, maybe it will help you."

After listening to Lu Mo's retelling of those rumors, the gravekeeper didn't answer Lu Mo's question, but said that he wanted to tell Lu Mo a story.The tomb keeper took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, then dropped down again, and then told Lu Mo the story.

"A long time ago, there was a military fortress named Glory City. It was named to commemorate..."

While placing pieces on the chessboard, Lu Mo listened to the story told by the grave guard.In the story of the gravekeeper, there is a city called Glory City.Like Sin City, Glory City is also a military fortress city.And Glory City is the same as Sin City, the purpose of existence is to fight the Dragon Clan.And the ones fighting the dragons in Glory City are not sinners like Sin City, but many warriors fighting to protect the homeland of mankind.

In the story of the tombkeeper, the warriors in Glory City separated and resisted when the human world was invaded by dragons. Later, as the human territory continued to fall, more and more people gathered in Glory City. Continue the last barrier of hope.Countless soldiers died to protect Glory City, and Glory City has become the glory of all mankind.

As human cities in other places continued to perish, Glory City gradually became an existence like a lone boat in the vast ocean, but the soldiers of Glory City never stopped fighting.Rongguang City is like a firefly in the dark night, always continuing the continuation of human beings with its own faint light.Until the later humans ushered in the turning point of victory, Glory City has always stood tenaciously.

"What happened later? What happened to Glory City?"

The story that the tomb guard Lu Mo just told must have happened in the old era, because the turning point when human beings ushered in victory is the coming of the gods known to everyone in the future.The real history of the Dragon Clan's invasion has become an unverifiable history, but there will still be some sporadic clues in the surviving history, but most of these clues are not easy to find.

"Later...Glory City disappeared...but it didn't die, and of course it didn't survive, after all, it was just a city..."

The gravekeeper suddenly let out a long sigh, and in that sigh, there seemed to be a sense of melancholy that endless years had passed.

"Little friend, the truth cannot be found in history... Just like the rumors about the city of crime you mentioned, even if you find the so-called factual basis, how many of them are you sure are true?"

The tomb keeper finished speaking and dropped a chess piece, and as the tomb keeper's chess piece fell, the game of chess between Lu Mo and him was also completely finished.Both Lu Mo and the tomb guard just glanced at the chessboard, and both of them knew the outcome.
