Chapter 1245

Jiang Xiao and Catherine flew all the way to the northeast, through a mountain forest, along the rolling river, to the direction of the coastline.

It's getting late and the sun is setting.

The crimson fire cloud reddened the distant horizon and added a special charm to the beautiful scenery of the peninsula.

It was at this point in time that Jiang Xiao and Catherine saw a small wooden house standing on the cliff.

The wooden house faces the sea, and the backyard of the wooden house is a sea of flowers.

In the sound of waves beating on the rocks, the figures of Jiang Xiao and Catherine slowly stop in the air and look down.

In the sight, behind the slightly dilapidated cabin is a sea of beautiful flowers.

Among the flowers, an old woman with white hair was standing with her head down and hands down.

Her dress is very common and masculine.

The light colored plaid shirt, like a men's one, should have been worn for many years. Although it looks shabby, it's washed very clean.

Anyone's first impression of the old man is that she is thin and dry.

It's too thin, just like a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind can blow her down

Breeze bursts, the air filled with the fragrance of flowers, waves ups and downs, also brought the sea that salty smell, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, constitute a special flavor.

Such a picture is beautiful enough.

What makes this scene even more desolate is that in front of the old woman with her head down and hands down, there is a tombstone.

Next to the tombstone, there is a special tomb. It seems that the tomb has just been dug out, and there is a pile of soil beside it, which is empty.

The old woman turned around and looked up at Jiang Xiao and Catherine standing in the sky. After looking back and forth for a moment, she locked her eyes on Jiang Xiao and said, "here we are."

"Well, here we are." Jiang Xiao nodded gently and landed slowly in the garden of the sea of flowers.

But the old woman turned her head, looked at the tombstone in front of her again and said, "you are here to ask for my life."

Jiang Xiao also looked at the tombstone and said, "how about you? Whether Hopkins has promised you that if you kill me, you will be free. "

The old woman shook her head and said, "I don't need that."

Jiang Xiao frowns slightly. After the fraud of Troy, Jiang Xiao certainly knows what the target of these people is.

The old woman said, "from the direction of your flight, you seem to come from Sparta or Troy."

Jiang Xiao couldn't understand the words on the tombstone, but just gave out a nasal voice: "well."

Old woman: "are they all dead?"

Jiang Xiao: "well."

"Ah..." the old woman shook her head slightly, with a bitter smile on her face, and said, "it's time to accompany him."

With that, the old woman turned to face Jiang Xiao, whose wrinkled face was engraved with the traces of time.

"Can I ask you a favor?" she said suddenly

Jiang Xiao slightly eyebrows, no response.

She pointed to the empty grave and said, "can you bury me here after you finish your task?"

Jiang Xiao's heart was still alert, and he said in a deep voice, "what did Hopkins say to you?"

The old woman smiles, and there seems to be a trace of disdain between her eyebrows: "he said he found a similar one.

The new God will always step on the bones of the old God to ascend the throne. "

Jiang Xiao shook his head silently and said, "he and I are not the same kind of people. We were not before, we are not now, and we will not be in the future."

"Whatever." The old woman was noncommittal. She just laughed and went to the empty grave. She silently closed her eyes and said, "you can do it."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the old woman's body, smeared a layer of orange on her thin body.

Jiang Xiao looked at the tombstone and said, "who is he?"

She responded, "my love."

Jiang Xiao: "what happened?"

The old woman opened her eyes again, looked at the tombstone and said, "he's old. When the time comes, I don't want to live for him any more.

I've spent my whole life with him and I always respect him.

In fact, I've been regretting. Maybe, for the last time, I should be more willful. "

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said in silence: "when I saw Sparta, he said that he would sprinkle his courtyard with my flesh and blood.

When I met Troy, he invited me to a card game to try to control me and exchange my life for his freedom.

But you have dug your own grave. "

Looking at Jiang Xiao's young face, the old woman said faintly, "I don't need freedom. In fact, I have no nostalgia for everything in the world.

I just promised him to live. Otherwise, what you see here should be two tombstones.

Now, you come to me with the success of shield war and legal system.

Obviously... I can't live. I'm just a medical department. "

But Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "coincidentally, so do I

The old woman's face was slightly surprised. After a while, she shook her head and laughed and said, "well, it doesn't matter. Let's do it."

Jiang Xiao was silent for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry, madam. I'm afraid it's hard for me to satisfy your wish."

"Oh?" The old lady was obviously stunned for a moment. She looked at Jiang Xiao with turbid eyes and said, "you have to consider the consequences. I don't know what your ability is, but disobeying Hopkins's will will will make your life worse than death."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "you are wrong. I am not his disciple, nor his disciple, nor his subordinate."

Hearing this, the old woman's eyes slightly widened, as if she heard something incredible.

After a while, she said, "if you're not here to kill me, please leave now. He likes to be quiet."

But Jiang Xiao said, "would you like to talk to me about Hopkins?"

With that, Jiang Xiao turned to Catherine in the distance and said, "I hear you have hot tea and cakes."

"Yes, sir." Catherine immediately understood Jiang Xiao's meaning, quickly opened the door of space, and stepped in.

The old woman frowned deeply and hesitated, but Jiang Xiao had already gone to the grave of her late husband. With a move, a space door opened.

Jiang Xiao went in and seemed to catch something. When he took it out again, it was a bunch of lilies from Huahai ranch.

Jiang Xiao leaned slightly, put the white flowers in front of the tombstone, and said in a soft voice: "sorry, sir, excuse me."

One side, the old woman looked at this scene, also saw Jiang Xiao straight body, turn to look at the eyes.

There was a trace of exploration in her eyes, which gave her full respect.

The old woman was silent for a long time, slightly bent, turned and walked out of the courtyard.

......

On the sea cliff, there is a small table and two wooden chairs.

Catherine brought a plate of exquisite cakes and a pot of steaming tea.

Jiang Xiao looked at Catherine and said, "go and change your clothes. I don't think you feel comfortable."

"Yes, sir." Catherine did not hesitate. In front of the little prophet, she seemed to have forgotten all the old prophet's requirements. She opened the portal and went in.

Jiang Xiao looked at the old woman and said, "Jiang Xiaopi."

She responded, "akso."

Akso?

Like the God of medicine in ancient Greek mythology?

Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "the code names of your team are very interesting. It seems that you can find clues in story books. It seems that aksuo is a goddess's name?"

Akerso nodded, but changed the subject and asked, "what's your relationship with Hopkins?"

Jiang Xiao picked up a piece of cake and threw it into his mouth: "it's a bit complicated, but generally speaking, it's an enemy rather than a friend."

Akerso was a little confused and asked: "since you are enemies, why do you come here according to his request? Is he threatening you? "

Jiang Xiaodao said: "like you, I should be imprisoned by him.

When I was thrown in, Hopkins gave me a map. I'm idle here, too. I'll come and have a look one by one.

It's just that Sparta is unfriendly and Troy is insidious. They wanted my life, so I killed them. "

"Ha ha." Akerso was dumbfounded and said, "they are so old that they are blindfolded and think they can regain their freedom."

Jiang Xiao asked curiously, "as close comrades of Hopkins, why are you imprisoned here?"

Akerso: in your heart, what kind of person is Hopkins

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "on the surface, he is gentle and easy-going, but in fact, he is ruthless and ruthless by all means."

Akerso sighed softly, with a trace of memory in his turbid eyes: "at the beginning, he was a sincere, kind-hearted young man with grand goals.

We followed such a leader, fought South and North, and finally came to the different ball.

But with the passage of time, he slowly changed, he no longer respect life, maybe... The blood in his hands dyed more, also no longer care about it.

He no longer listened to people's opinions, and there was only one voice in his team. He became arrogant and conceited, until finally, he established an empire and ruled the whole European continent... "

Akesuo looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "that's the beginning of the nightmare."

Jiang Xiao: "how?"

Akerso: "maybe he thinks the world can't bring him any more challenges.

His character became more and more eccentric and moody.

Until the third month of the establishment of the Empire, because of a small matter, he lit a butcher's knife to the Jinyu clan. "

Jinyu family?

The golden feathered traveler of Lanxi?

Aksuo: "under our stopping and persuading, he didn't exterminate the Jinyu family, but only a small part of the Jinyu family was left, and he also threw it into the ridge space as a prisoner.

In the same way, those of us who tried to persuade were also thrown here by him.

Golden feathered walker, however, is the elder star beast population established by the Empire. Hopkins is suddenly fierce and kills this race... In this way, the Empire just established will fall apart. "

At this point, akerso laughed and said: "you know, Sparta, Troy and Poseidon are all members of the team who firmly follow the leader.

They didn't participate in persuading and preventing, but they were thrown here with the same fate as the rest of us

"50 years? 60 years? " Akerso sighed softly, "I don't know. I've been imprisoned here for a long time. I don't know what it's like outside."

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said, "if there is no accident, he will throw you in and destroy the Empire himself, but most races are still there, and the only thing he lacks is the golden feathered people

Like, there are some mysterious underwater giants?

The stars and beasts that follow Hopkins on the murals of the altar? "

Aker cableway: "Minister of the dead sea?

You go on and meet them. After so many years, the dead sea people, who were almost exterminated by the Hopkins dead people in the past, are slowly recovering their old numbers. "

Jiang Xiao nodded silently and said, "why is Hopkins so fierce?"

Akerso shook his head and said: "it is said that... The elder of the golden feathered people wants to expand the Empire and advance to Asia along the direction of Eastern Europe.

I don't know how many requests and negotiations it was. Hopkins suddenly burst out and made such an incredible move. When he slaughtered the Jinyu people, he repeated a sentence

Jiang Xiao's heart moved: "what?"

Akerso: "everything is no longer important."

Jiang Xiao

Behind her, a space door opened and Catherine stepped out with her long hair and shawl, wearing a black dress.

Although it still looks like a well-dressed dress, compared with the expensive evening dress before, it is also reduced by one specification.

Akerso looked at Catherine and said, "she's your servant."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "she's a servant of Hopkins. She's sent over to watch me."

Aksuo slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xiao's calm face. He could not help shaking his head and smiling and said, "you are an interesting person."

Catherine picked up the teapot and gave Jiang Xiao tea, but she didn't retort. She knew what to say and what to do.

Aker cableway: "follow your current route, you will have an enemy."

"Well?" Jiang Xiao hooks Catherine.

Catherine takes out the map and hands it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao unfolded the map and looked at six places. If the aksuo couple were included, Jiang Xiao had visited four "old gods".

How to calculate... There are still two left? Why is there only one enemy?

Are there dead people in those two places?

Aksuo leaned over to look at the map in Jiang Xiao's hand and said, "it looks like it has been some years. According to the location marked above, my husband and I have not established a relationship and have not moved here to live together."

Jiang Xiao:???

This map... Is it from 60 years ago?

Akerso looked carefully, along the coastline, all the way, the red x on the Alps, said: "maybe you should go to the end, visit her first."

Jiang Xiao: "who is she?"

Akerso: "she used to be a lover of Hopkins, and now she is a prisoner of Hopkins, and she is also an enemy.

She knows Hopkins better than any of us.

If Hopkins is also your enemy, she will be very willing to help you, I mean, in any way

Jiang Xiao: "what's her name?"

Akerso: "Gaia."

Jiang Xiao could not help grinning and said, "do you really dare to name yourself?"

Aksuo looked at Jiang Xiao seriously and said: "believe me, she is worthy of this code.

Although she is also a member of this team, the gap between other people and her strength is unimaginable.

How do you define the strength of Hopkins? " Jiang Xiao thought about it and said, "it's very difficult, even a little difficult." Akerso nodded, nodded the red x on the Alps, and said, "in her, you will find the same feeling." Jiang Xiao nodded, picked up the tea cup on the table, drank all the flower tea, and said, "you can go to my space to survive. One day, when I leave the Hailing world, I will let you out." To Jiang Xiao's surprise, akesuo shook his head and refused, but he still shook his head very decisively“ Well... "Jiang Xiao thought about it, stood up and said," in that case, I won't bother you. "“ Good luck. " Akso just nodded and said nothing more“ Let's go. " Jiang Xiao motioned to Katherine next to him. With a twinkle, he went directly to the Alps. And akerso, sitting silently in his chair, listening to the sound of the waves beating on the rocks, seemed to turn into a watchman's stone. I don't know how long later, she picked up the tea cup on the table and drank the already cold flower tea. She stood up and was as thin as a bamboo pole, which worried people whether she would be blown down by the sea breeze. She left the cliff and went back to her wooden courtyard. In this sea of flowers, she stood in front of her husband's grave again and whispered, "I promised you to continue to live in this world. And the news of his coming, let me see the hope, see the dawn. But I don't want to... I've been waiting for many days, but I can't wait for the ending I want. Sorry, maybe... I'm going to break my promise. You know, I've been rehearsing in my mind for a long time, imagining the picture of meeting you again. But he didn't come to kill me. You can feel the disappointment in my heart. You must be able to... "Akerso said. He went to the empty grave, turned around and lay on his back“ Bang A cloud of dust overflowed. Empty grave, out of a dry palm, a gust of wind, the earth on the ground, constantly to the grave“ As I said before, I should be willful once... "The soil continuously poured into the grave, buried and filled up... Under the afterglow of the setting sun, with the sound of waves beating on the rocks, the sea breeze came. The sea breeze swept over the cliff, over the cold tea on the table, and scattered the crumbs of pastry... Gusts of sea breeze passed through the wooden house and into the courtyard, mixed with the fragrance of the sea of flowers in the courtyard, surrounding the two tombs. Two quiet graves.
