Chapter 528
The environment near Linjiang Pavilion is obviously better than Baizhangyuan.
This is no longer the sky-filled Huangshan Mountains, nor the jagged rocks lacking vegetation, but replaced by a jungle similar to the sea of trees where Hua Yi first saw stargazing.
Perhaps it was due to a different mood, or maybe he had stayed in a harsher environment for too long, but now that he was back in the jungle, stargazing actually felt good.
The sound of the campfire, which should have been monotonous and boring, coupled with the aroma of meat fat and spices emitted by the food on the campfire, gave this quiet forest that few people have set foot in a warm atmosphere.
Stargazing is setting up the last formation, Hua Yi is grilling fish, and as for the raven, the coachman who has been responsible for driving during the day is now enjoying his rest time, lying on the land smelling of fresh grass, Staring blankly at the starry sky.
She was hesitant, feeling hesitant about the beast of the sun that she would eventually face in the future.
Stargazing is actually hesitant. In fact, among the three people now, only Hua Yi is the calmest.
However, neither Raven nor Stargazer had the energy to pay attention to Hua Yi's condition.
As the future emperor of the empire and the designer and arranger of this formation, Guanxing knew that she could not show any uneasiness. She had to give Raven and Hua Yi confidence.
In addition to confidence, she also wanted to convey her thoughts seriously before embarking on an unknown road.
After setting up the last formation, Stargazer did not immediately return to the campfire to sit down and rest, but quietly made another thing.
About ten minutes later, Raven, who was looking at the sky and confused about the future, felt a faint light that was not dazzling at the edge of his field of vision.
The stars in the sky are far away.
Even though the starlight that seems to never go out spans a long distance and is projected into the eyes of the raven here, the sense of distance still cannot be hidden.
And the earth is very dark at night.
The small campfire couldn't provide much light at all, and the dark environment made the raven feel depressed, so he had too many random thoughts just now.
However, the extra light now is very warm.
It was a different kind of warmth than a campfire.
The raven followed the dim light and saw a stargazer holding a sky lantern.
The so-called sky lantern, also known as a wishing lantern, is a large lantern made of bamboo strips tied into a square frame and covered with paper. Burning rosin is placed on the chassis, and the lantern can fly into the sky on the hot air.
It was different from the cold stars in the sky, the light of humanity so close at hand, and the girl holding the sky lantern, as the most noble figure in the empire, but working hard to seal the alien beasts, made the raven sigh blankly
"What a nice view……"
"Well, I think it's beautiful too. It's a pity that the materials I brought with me are only enough to make this sky lantern."
The stargazer didn't know that the emotion the raven was sending out at this moment was more from himself. At this moment, he looked at the light in his hand with a look of memory.
"In the past, every specific day, Prime Minister Rita, Young Master Jackal, Second Prince Kiana and General Hollander, no matter how busy everyone in the court was, would accompany me to make these ninety-nine candles. Sky lanterns are released at midnight"
"……"
"They said that the ancestors of the empire have not left forever, but have turned into stars in the sky and have been guarding us. Therefore, we must also use such sky lanterns to send our thoughts and the prosperity of the empire to the horizon and to the ancestors of the empire."
The stargazing eyes became more and more absorbed, as if thinking of the warmth of the past, with a slight smile on his face.
"I have told them more than once that no matter how far or high the sky lantern flies, it will never reach where the stars are. But they have always believed that sky lanterns are lamps of prayer that can send their thoughts and wishes to infinite distances."
Hua Yi, who was silently looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, said now
"What kind of thoughts and wishes are contained in the prayer lamp you are making now?"
"The wish to defeat the beast of the sun, the longing for the deceased ancestors of the empire, and——"
Stargazing at Hua Yi, his tone was incomprehensible
"Mr. Assassin, if the dust settles in the future, you will leave the empire, right?"
"……right."
No matter how real this world is, it is still a dream.
Since it is a dream, there will be a time to wake up.
Therefore, Hua Yi cannot make any promises now.
If there are regrets, if we look forward to seeing each other again, After Hua Yi returned to the real world of collapse, she could only try her best to recreate the gift Su gave her and have another dream.
Hua Yi's answer was as expected by Star Gazer.
She withdrew her gaze and relaxed. Open your hand and let the sky lantern break away from its restraints and fly to the endless sky.
"In that case, even if I light ninety-nine sky lanterns, I still can't send my thoughts to your destination.……"
Stargazing seems a bit far away.
It seems to come from a distant place.
Raven watched the conversation between Stargazing and Hua Yi, and gradually felt a deep sleepiness.
She shook her head to stay awake, but found that the tiredness not only did not dissipate, but became unreasonably thicker and thicker.
"Your Highness Stargazer, you……"
Raven, who used to be a mercenary and walked in the dark side, quickly guessed the origin of this tiredness.
That was the cherry blossom cake I gave myself before stargazing, and it was drugged inside!
Sakura cake was specially prepared by Kanxing for Yae when he left Ziyuan Town, but he didn't take it out until now.
Raven originally thought Stargazing was because he had some special fondness for cherry blossom cakes and wanted to save it for a specific time. Now it seems that Stargazing had made plans from then on to use the cherry blossom cake potion to knock him out at the last moment. He and Hua Yi then faced the strange beast alone.
As a drugged person, Raven, who understood the intention of stargazing, could not bear any real negative emotions.
We had obviously agreed before that we would face the alien beasts together...
Obviously this was the first time I mustered up the courage to fight for her...
With full of resentment, Raven fell asleep.
Raven's performance let Stargazer know that Sakura Cake had worked.
However, looking at Hua Yi, who had eaten the cherry blossom cake at the same time as Raven, but was still in high spirits, Stargazing showed a helpless expression.
"In addition to his powerful strength and extraordinary wisdom, does Mr. Assassin also have a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons?"
