Edge of the Apocalypse - Chapter 1880
After the violent explosion on the birthplace, it was not destroyed as Shanna imagined. A guardian beast sprang from the lava lake to block Alice’s attack. The price was that the guardian beast didn’t even have a bone left, and was wiped out under Alice’s attack. But taking advantage of this opportunity, the kings around the birthplace took action and forced Alice back. Shana squinted her eyes, the azure war spear in her hand shook, and the whole person turned into a blue rainbow and threw towards the mountain. When it fell, the gun shot out in all directions, like a blue wave, and all the kings were drawn into the gun. The gun rolled like blue waves, and the offensive flowed like a river. After a while, a king was hit by a gun in his chest. The king’s chest armor immediately sank, and a few cyan fluorescent lights spewed out from behind, and then the whole person flashed from inside. There was cyan light, and the figure was scattered in the cyan light.
Those floating blue lights reminded Shana of a kind of flower, a kind of blue flower that only grows in the cracks of the reef.
The kind of flowers on the beach always reminded her of a person.
“Sana, you are the guardian of my creation, and the first command I give you is not to commit suicide.”
When she opened her eyes to see the world for the first time, her creator, the man named Taylor said to her. She couldn’t understand: “I don’t understand, the creator, why did you give me such an order? Suicide, according to the information I know, it is an act of evasion and weakness. I will not do this kind of behavior. .”
Then the creator’s gaze became a little softer, and there was even a hint of pity: “Sana, you have just been born, and you will have to guard the treasure house. You will spend endless years. This may be too cruel for you. Yes, but this is your mission. You still have a strong curiosity about everything. For you, the world is endless, and the mysteries of the universe are difficult to explore even if you exhaust your life.”
“But one day, you will get bored. That once magnificent sunrise, when it appears day after day, you will feel that it is not so magnificent, or even too monotonous. You will get tired of this. Long life. At that time, you may do things that I can’t predict. That’s why I have to give the first order here, you can’t commit suicide, and. You have to cherish your life, you can sacrifice, but It can only be sacrificed in one place…”
“I seem to understand, but I don’t seem to understand.” Shana answered honestly.
“It’s okay, you will understand in the future.” Taylor whispered: “Sana, I give you emotions. You know how to love and hate like other creatures. In fact, if I remove your emotional system, it will be for you. Better, but you have to live countless years coldly like a machine. I can’t imagine what you will become like that in the end. So I give you emotions to make your life more interesting.”
“But Shana, I have to remind you not to try love easily. Your endless years are a kind of pain for the other person who loves you, and **** for you. So you have to remember, never Don’t try to love…”
Shana smiled at the corner of her mouth, pointed the azure gun in her hand, and the large blue light slapped away like a raging river, drowning several kings in it. In the cyan light, she seemed to see that kind of flower again. The first time she saw that kind of flower, it was because of that man.
At that time, there was no such empire as Bairegang, and human beings lived a life of dire straits under the claws of the shadow duchy. For Shana, she didn’t feel much. She is more like a bystander, after the creator Taylor left, she has spent decades of peaceful time. In these times, the thing she did the most was to travel around. I have seen the magnificence of the sunrise, the majestic mountains, the magnificence of the sea, and the boundlessness of Pingchuan. In the end, she returned to the place where she was born and saw him.
A man.
For humans, Shana always feels that they are too savage and rude. Under the enslavement of the Principality of Shadow, they lived no better than the beasts. Of course, Shanna had no intention of saving this race, even if the humans were similar to Taylor.
She was just observing them, nothing more.
And this day, a man squatted on a rock by the sea. She walked over curiously and saw that he was filling some dirt into a crack in the stone with a tool. In the crack in the stone, a small blue flower was swaying in the wind. It is not necessarily so magnificent, but it grows on the seashore and must withstand the consideration of the sun and the waves, a kind of persistence and determination for life spontaneously arises. I have seen too many magnificent scenes, and now looking at this little flower, Shana sees another kind of beauty.
The beauty of life.
“What is this?” she asked.
Obviously the man didn’t know her arrival, he was taken aback and almost fell into the water, if it wasn’t for Shannara to give him a hand. That was also the first time Shana touched a man’s body, even if it was just an arm. She couldn’t tell the taste, but it was complicated.
After the man stood firm, he forced two words from his mouth: “Qingtang.”
“Qingtang?” Shana nodded, quite agreeing, the name matched this flower very well. She asked again: “What are you doing?”
“Conservation…” At that time, human language was still very poor, and it was not easy to be able to say the word “conservation”.
Next, one person continued his work, while the other was watching in awe. After filling the mud in the stone cracks, a smile appeared on the man’s face, just as the sun on the sea broke through the clouds and fell on his dark and rough face, making his smile look so brilliant.
He left, she didn’t.
Shana looked at the green tang on the beach, the waves slapped on its delicate body from time to time, but every time it stood upright in the wind and was unyielding.
The next day, the man came again, and he carried a small bucket with something dark in it. When Shana saw him, he was filling the contents of the bucket into the cracks in the stone. He told Shana that this is fertilizer, which can make Qingtang grow better.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day… He must come every day. Sometimes they came empty-handed, just watching the Qingtang quietly on the reef. Sometimes soil and fertilizer are brought and filled in the cracks in the rocks to replenish the soil washed away by the waves.
Finally one day, Shana asked him: “Why do you take care of this Qingtang every day?”
The man scratched his head and said, “Yes, I like it.”
Iss is the man’s wife, to Shanna’s surprise, Iss is dead. It’s just that she liked the Qingtang flower very much before she was alive, so now this man will come to the beach to maintain a Qingtang every day. Shana saw love in this man. It was not vigorous, just like this Qingtang, plain and plain. But neither the sun nor the rain nor the beating of the waves can erase its existence.
After the man did not come, Shanna learned that he was dead. She had no sadness, no light sighs, nothing, just a little loss. She replaced him to see the Qingtang every day, until one day, the Qingtang was always washed away by the sea, and she never went to the beach again.
It was already many years after seeing Qingtang flowers again. At that time, mankind had expelled the Principality of Shadow and established the empire of Bairegang. It’s just that the empire has just been built, there are only one or two big cities, and many places are just villages. At that time, foreign races were common in Balegang, so Shana liked to go to the taverns in those villages to sit in. For a period of time, she particularly liked a small tavern, where she still liked the orange wine made there, and every time she went there she would order a large glass and taste it slowly.
Once she came to the tavern, and just sat down, suddenly her eyes were filled with a cluster of blue flowers. It was a full handful of Qingtang. Holding flowers was a young man. He was a little shy, and said softly, “For you.”
“How do you know I like Qingtang?” Shana liked it very much.
The man said: “I think every time you come, you will have a green thorn in your hair.”
“Oh, you observe very carefully.”
“I have been paying attention to you for a long time.”
Shana smelled Qingtang. In fact, the fragrance of this flower is not strong, but it has some smell of sea, so not many people like it. She smiled and asked the man: “Then what do you know about me?”
“You like to drink orange wine. You will miss two days a month, on the 7th and the 20th ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ You always have a drink and leave, not much, not too much. You… …”
“Stop.” Shana looked at him in surprise: “Why do you know so clearly.”
“because I like you.”
That was the first time Shana was confessed.
Every day she came to the pub, the man would give her a handful of Qingtang. Until one day, when he didn’t come, Shana asked the boss to find out that when he went to the beach to pick flowers, she accidentally broke her leg and was resting at home. So Shanna came to his house and saw him lying on the bed, her heart melted.
Love comes for no reason.
She fell in love.
She took care of him until he recovered. He no longer went to the beach to pick flowers, because every day they would go to the beach together to look at the green tangs. Day after day, year after year. He is getting old and she is still young.
In the end, he closed his eyes in her arms. As he died, he said that he wanted to be a green tang in the next life, so that she could wear it in his hair forever and never separate. She cried, feeling sad for the first time, feeling helpless for her long life for the first time. She buried him by the sea and set up a small monument facing the sea.
At that time, she thought of death. But the order the creator gave her was irresistible, so she could only endure the pain of eating her heart, and walked hard until she buried the sadness in the deepest part of her heart.
After that, she had several precious loves. But every love ends in tragedy. The person she loved died forever, leaving her alone to savor the taste of pain. She wants to die, but she can’t die.
The azure war spear surged, drawing a magnificent blue belt, like a line of blue tide on the sea. Looking up, many kings swarmed. Shana smiled, and the last thing before the gun was brightened. She greeted countless kings, and lightly said with a voice that she could only hear: “Now I can finally die.”
