Chapter 124 The Cycle of Humanity, Gil's Passing Away!
Chapter 124 The Cycle of Humanity, Gil's Passing Away!
"Within twenty days, a massive tsunami engulfed Avdaru. The rage of the Ohmu was uncontrollable; they didn't even care about their own lives! They ran wildly until they died. Using the corpses as breeding grounds, their spores and mycelium extended underground to find water. Poisonous gas spread from one corpse to another, the black forest expanded rapidly, and the vast desert turned into a sea of decay!"
Upon hearing this, the young people, who had initially been somewhat excited, now only showed fear in their eyes. Such a powerful empire had ultimately been swallowed up by the Sea of Corruption! This filled them with fear, but even more so with a sense of powerlessness.
Fortunately, we've gotten used to this sense of powerlessness. Over the years, the Sea of Decay has continued to devour the land on which humanity depends for survival.
"And we, the survivors of the border conflict, were spared and eventually became a vassal state of Torumechia!"
The old woman sighed again. In fact, human beings are very resilient. Even though most of them were wiped out, the population eventually recovered slowly. And now, Torumekia is at its peak.
The young clan chief laughed loudly and said:
"Hahaha, wouldn't it be great to have another massive tsunami? The Ohmu is advancing south, and if the Tuoni and Torumekia are wiped out together, wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?!"
Clearly, the old man's mentality has been broken by Wu Wang. It's like saying, "If Huang Chao doesn't come, you'll eat me; if Huang Chao comes, he'll eat you and me."
Of course, no one paid any attention to it, but one thing was certain: the Earth Demon was also coveting this land, and the King of Wu no longer had the energy to surround the border.
And the world is never short of ambitious people, as one person immediately jumped out and said:
"Now that the world is in chaos, it is time to abandon the ancient alliance, and let all races once again gather in Avdaru, along with that legendary princess!!"
"What are you saying, kid? That's not true at all!"
"Mite, everyone was there. That kind of miracle can't be faked!!"
The old lady asked in confusion:
A miracle?
Seeing the high priest's gaze, Mit reluctantly recounted what had happened. Dressed in blue with golden light and soaring wings, he startled the old woman.
At this moment, Kiel finally realized why these people had come! A bitter look appeared on his face!
These people have been plotting rebellion for a long time, waiting for an opportunity, and now that opportunity has arrived. The answer lies in the ancient call of Avdaru and the great salvation of the Blue-Clad Messenger.
Now that both elements are in place—Prince Fusu and Xiang Yan—when is a better time not to rebel?
These people are just ridiculous! They're all cowards when it comes to fighting. And these incompetent fools are even plotting a rebellion. How can Torumekia be any better?
These people were filled with rage, but the old man from the Valley of the Wind was not confused! First, war was not what the Valley of the Wind needed, and second, Nausicaä was still in their hands.
Seeing this, Abel was the first to step forward, and he addressed Gil:
"Kier, I think you'll understand. We can't just sit here and wait to die!!"
Kiel was furious. He was once a prominent figure in his own right, but now that the tiger was critically ill, these people were the ones swaggering around!
Indeed, despite being low on health from the start, Kiel was once a hero, and these border tribes followed his lead. But now he's being forced to make a statement by these young people.
But in the end, Kiel still managed to say, barely a whisper:
"Don't worry about Nausicaä. The Valley of the Wind has agreed to join the united front, but it cannot send gunboats!"
"Old friend, you should have died long ago. Why are you still playing these tricks at a time like this?"
Obviously, things immediately stalled. Fighter jets are the combat power itself. You're saying you can't rule out gunboats? Aren't you kidding me?
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me, Nausicaä's work requires that gunboat, Mit..."
"I am here..."
"Go find Yuba and ask him to help Nausicaä. Silly child, does she think she can protect the whole world by herself? Please!!"
After saying that, Kiel fell silent and slowly closed his eyes. The people around him were stunned. What did Kiel mean by this? Joining the alliance, but not joining completely?
Those around him wanted to ask something more, but the high priest had already walked shakily to the bedside, tears streaming from his eyes, and murmured sorrowfully:
"What a strong child to have bravely endured such immense pain for so long..."
As she spoke, she buried her face in Gil's body and began to cry. Everyone was shocked, and the people of Wind Valley were filled with endless grief. Their beloved chieftain, Lord Gil, had left them forever.
The people of the Valley of the Wind burst into tears, and the others, their faces also filled with sorrow, were speechless and retreated.
That's why they say Kiel is their elder brother. Even on his deathbed, he tricked them. "You guys are allied, aren't you? I agreed, and as soon as I agreed, I died. That left room for maneuver."
Mitt looked at the sorrowful scene inside the house, then silently walked out alone, taking heavy steps to the balcony where he grieved alone. A group of children were huddled together on the edge of the balcony.
Adults are numb to death, but these children aren't; they can only hide in a corner and cry secretly. Seeing this, Mitt also suppressed his sorrowful gaze and forced a smile, saying:
"Children, you are all wonderful! The princess said the fruit you picked has come in very handy, children, don't cry!!"
"Grandpa Mitt..."
"Grandpa... Waaah..."
The children immediately rushed to Grandpa Mitt, heartbroken. Mitt could only suppress his emotions, hugging the children tightly and comforting them.
"What a good child! It's alright, the princess will be fine. She's much stronger than me!"
At this point, Mit could no longer hold back, and two lines of tears slid down his withered face. He remembered his conversation with Nausicaä before he left.
He wanted to see his daughter more than anything else, especially Nausicaä. Seeing Nausicaä's boundless kindness, he had tried to dissuade her on several occasions, and this time was no different.
But Nausicaä smiled as usual and did not refute him. Instead, she took the clothes that the old woman had given her. Although they were stained with the blood of the Ohmu, they did not smell bad.
Nausicaä is from the Valley of the Wind, yet she wears the clothing of the Earth Demon Kingdom and travels on the Torumekia's spaceship. Nausicaä is also very frank; she prefers the Ohmu, who are the greatest and noblest creatures in the world. At the same time, she also loves everyone in the Valley of the Wind.
When Nausicaä left the Valley of the Wind, she was terrified, but when she saw the war unfolding before her eyes, that fear vanished, replaced by a desire to change everything, and a call to move forward echoed in her heart.
Nausicaä no longer felt lonely, because she could sense that she wasn't alone. After emerging from the golden fields of the Ohmu, Nausicaä knew that many people were around her again.
Mitt clearly remembered Nausicaä riding on Kai's back, waving goodbye with a big smile on her face, which had become his greatest comfort at that moment.
"Children, if you keep crying, you'll only disappoint the princess. We must pull ourselves together and protect our Valley of the Wind!!"
Having finished speaking, Mitt, who was still in tears, composed himself and looked at the birds flying above the Valley of the Wind, murmuring:
"Your Highness, I will find Master Yuba as soon as possible. Please wait for our arrival safely."
Rewind a few days, Liu Yufei returned to Laputa exhausted, where Sivir was waiting.
"Young Master, you look too exhausted this time..."
"You think I wanted this?! This unlucky fruit, a little to the left, oh! Right here, you're so skilled! Where's Lasdale?"
"Ah! Miss Rasdale should be asleep already, I'll go and fetch her!!"
"If they're already asleep, fine. Is the hot water ready? You can go downstairs too!"
Sivir knew that Liu Yufei preferred to do things himself most of the time, so she immediately withdrew.
Liu Yufei staggered into the bathroom and fell right in. It was more like a swimming pool than a bathtub, so he quickly floated to the surface.
The warmth of the steam on his skin made Liu Yufei close his eyes and enjoy it. After washing, he was so exhausted that he could no longer stay awake and immediately lay down on the bed.
The next day, Rastar was still waiting at the restaurant, but Sivir said she could eat first and didn't have to wait for Liu Yufei. Although Rastar was puzzled, she still started eating her food in small bites.
But as she ate, tears started streaming down Rasdale's face! Sivir was immediately puzzled.
"Miss Rasdale, are you homesick?"
She was, of course, confident that the food in Laputa wouldn't be so bad it would make anyone cry. Finally, Rasdel said, feeling wronged:
"I miss my brother! And my father, and my mother!!"
"Don't worry, your brother is safe. The young master will arrange for you and your sister to reunite whenever he has time. But your parents..."
"what!!!"
With Sivir's business acumen, calling herself an emotional mentor, she's just rubbing salt in the wound! As for Rasdel's parents, she naturally knew their fate. Her father, though not a saint, was still determined to perish with his kingdom. And her mother, naturally, went with him.
"Sivir, please ask the young master to help me! Please!! Waaaaaah..."
Lasdale was, after all, just a little girl, and she had been wronged these past few days. At this moment, she finally broke down, crying her heart out! It was so pitiful to see.
"Don't worry, we'll go now. I don't believe that the young master is really as heartless as the captain said."
Sivir seemed determined to stand up for Rasdale, dragging her along to denounce Liu Yufei. Liu Yufei had no idea how this shrewish captain was making fun of him; if he had known, he would have definitely sent the guy to be scrapped.
"Young Master, there's something... Hey! Where is he?"
"Maybe they've already gone out. Let's come back later!"
"No, every move in Laputa is within my signal range. Could it be that we've entered another dimension?"
"Another dimension?"
"Hmm! Sometimes the young master suddenly disappears to rest in another dimension!"
