Son of the Olden Days

Later, Sol still met Irene Joyce, in the cemetery outside the cemetery hut at his door.

Last time, it was also at the entrance of the Tombkeeper's hut, separated by a door frame. The last time Sol and Irene met each other was early summer, when Yi Wen came round the door.

And now it's autumn, and a few months have passed since that day.

In fact, after Sol ran to Bamiya to find out about Irene’s whereabouts, Irene returned to Grayscreen only two weeks later, but she did not come, nor did Sol.

The reason why I didn't go to Irene was because Saul didn't know how to express the indescribable guilt in his heart. This is not to escape, but because no matter what or how much you say, the dead life is irreversible after all.

Then... let's not talk about it.

I saw Irene in the cemetery today. She seemed to have changed a lot after returning from Dead Leaf Ridge. Thor could feel that she was losing her former purity. Of course, he couldn’t say anything. After all, his own innocence was early. Not even the wreckage can be found.

It had only been a few months since she hadn't seen her, and she felt that her hair had grown a little longer, and her once slender figure had gradually become fuller than a mature woman, showing the passage of time on her body.

Suddenly Saul remembered the conversation he had with Irene before, which started as a joke, but extended to the future and future issues that they had never thought about seriously. She wants to live a peaceful and stable life, but he wants to leave this place and go to the sky.

After that, both of them carefully did not bring up similar topics again.

But some issues, not to talk about them, do not mean to disappear.

So for a long time later, Thor has been deeply troubled by this problem.

When he returned from the foothills of Bat Mountain after attending Lotton's wedding, after a deep lingering from the body to the soul, Thor put his arms around Irene and put the question on the table again.

In fact, the problem itself is not too complicated. There are three directions to solve the problem.

One is that Saul left Irene according to his own ideas and left this place. One is to stay by herself and live the life she wants with Irene. Another is that Irene walks with herself, leaves her homeland and relatives, and embarks on a journey of unknown together.

Saul is not satisfied with these three methods and can't think of results.

So Saul put his arms around Irene and told her about these three futures. Let her make a choice and promise that he will firmly support him no matter how she chooses, and at the same time forget any unrealistic ideas other than Irene's choice.

Irene rubbed his chest lazily, then blinked playfully at him.

"Then if I go with you, what will happen to us in the future?"

"...Well, maybe you will die on the road, maybe you will experience some hardships and tribulations, of course, you may also be tired after a walk around, and you will arrive in a larger town to live better and more convenient Life." Thor shrugged.

"Well, I'll go with you. You know that I can't live without you. You won't leave me halfway, right?

"Fool, how is that possible? Even if I become a corpse, my corpse will be your last line of defense." Sol said with a smile.

Irene pressed her cheek tightly to Saul's chest.

"I just feel a little sorry for my parents. They brought me up, but I left them selfishly. But maybe my sister is the one who is most sorry, because I feel that everything is on her shoulders because of my leaving. "

"Maybe, we can find time to come back to visit them, or wait until we have a better life to pick them up." Sol tried to suggest.

After all, it is difficult for the world to be consummated, and Thor knows that this kind of family separation is far from being smoothed by leaving a little money or some meaningless comfort. So in the darkness, Thor could only remain silent in the end.

Although the whole thing was not perfect, there was a result after all.

The trouble was resolved, and Thor had been excited for a long time after that. He actively cleaned up his cobwebs, and desperately figured out how to protect her on the road, and let her embark on an easy journey, not an adventure.

He originally thought that every day in the future would be sunny.

Then... hehe.

Today Sol saw not only Irene in the cemetery, but also her father and mother.

Their family, like most ordinary families who cherish the memory of the dead, are uniformly dressed in deep black clothing. In this deserted cemetery, in front of Cowell's tombstone, each bowed their heads with their own sorrows.

This is the first time Saul has seen Irene's father, a middle-aged man with a rigorous appearance but not knowing whether he is staid or not. He is not old, nor can he see any obvious sadness, but the tight corners of his mouth make the whole face appear hard.

Shuggs and Saul stood quietly aside, like two silent accompaniers, not too far apart.

Sol is a little better. At least he has the title of "Grave Keeper" on his head. It can be said that it is his own job to appear here at this moment. But Shuggs..., what kind of mood does he stand here?

Saul felt sad. This sadness did not come from the relationship between him and Irene, but from Shuggs. He suddenly remembered that when he went to Bamiya's house to inquire about the news, Bamiya had mentioned that Cowell originally had a marriage contract with him.

So does Schuges know about this? Or does he still love her stubbornly even if he knows it? If Cowell is not dead, what will happen to their future?

Everything was buried in this heavy time with Cowell's departure.

As for the future that hasn't had time to weave, from now on, there is no longer any possibility.

In the quiet memory of the whole scene, there were five people in the cemetery, but there was no communication between them. Even Sol and Irene, from start to finish, never even met once.

He and she seemed to have returned to the strange place again, and she looked at him indifferently and remotely as when they first met, reminiscent of the glacial waters of winter.

Until Irene left with the family, Thor and Shuggs remained there for a long time.

"I explained to Irene for you, she is a good girl." In the quiet darkness, Shuggs said.

Explain... Maybe it's useless.

"Thank you." In the end, Saul could say only these two words.

After returning to the hut alone, Thor was suddenly at a loss, unable to concentrate on doing anything, and didn't want to do anything. Throw myself face down into the bed, maybe I should sleep for a while, Saul thought.

Facts have proved that it is undoubtedly an extravagant hope to fall asleep in the mood at this moment. Tossing and turning can not sleep at all. In the end, Sol can only sit on the floor in frustration, with his head up and half against the wall, one leg flat, one leg bent, arms Hold on to your knees.

Yes, this is the correct posture for sadness.

I don't know how long it took.

"Om...Om"

The knock on the door sounded, and it sounded persistently even after receiving no response.

Finally Saul stood up, walked over and opened the door.

"Why don't you light up the lamp?" Irene asked, walking to the table and lighting the oil lamp, driving away the darkness in the room.

"Oh, I'm staying in the dark thinking about something." Sol replied.

Then the two sat down at the table, just like before, but in fact, they both understood that it was different.

After a long speechless silence, Irene stood up and seemed to be leaving, as if her entire arrival was just to leave at this moment.

But after two steps towards the door, Irene turned and looked back at Saul.

"I am engaged to someone else." Irene said.

"What kind of person is it?" Sol stared at the flickering flame of the oil lamp, his voice calm.

"The family is not big, and we are considered a family friend. He is the second son of the family. Most of the properties have nothing to do with him. In the future, he may take over some small businesses of the family."

"My sister and I have seen him several times together, and it is considered familiar. Now he has separated and lived in Dry Leaf Ridge with a few servants. We plan to..." Speaking of our word, Irene suddenly had a pause.

"Where are you?" Sol turned to look at Irene, and asked again.

"Very gentleman, well-educated and decent, more than enough for me."

Irene's eyes were shining, staring at Saul, and there seemed to be a certain provocation in her words.

But in the end Saul only smiled slightly.

"It's great, I wish you happiness."

I wish you happiness!

These faintly whispered four words are like the beginning of a certain spell, which instantly ignited fierce oil, and in a blink of an eye, it was blazing.

Irene's eyes were red in an instant, she cried fiercely, her voice was sharp, and her speech was whirling.

"You know? I used to have a deep smile, but now I really hate your **** expression."

"Whether I walk or fall asleep on this road, I have been thinking of you, thinking of you!!!"

"I even had a dream during my journey. I dreamed of dragging your cold corpse alone on a rainy night, staggering forward in the mud of the wilderness, dark, desperate, and arrows pierced through my heart."

"A person like you...does not know how to take care of yourself except a little crap."

"You said you want to accompany me to the end of the world, what you said, you clearly said! You liar... badass, woo~!"

"I can't accompany you anymore. My father and mother have only one daughter. I can't accompany you on the journey, can't accompany you far away, can't accompany you to see the future."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving you!"

"Will you live better without me in your world?"

Irene stood there, half-bent over, her hands clenched into fists, her elbows pressed tightly against her waist, she shouted these words in a hoarse, shrill voice, exhausted all her strength, and then seized the door. .

Will you have a better life?

Is it better?

Saul sat there, feeling that he had experienced the roar of the dragon, and it was like a turbulent ocean wave rushing toward his face, causing his hair and clothes to fly in disorder, even his eyes could not be opened, and the whole cabin was blown up and down.

Of course, these are actually just the hallucinations of Thor at that moment.

He died with Cowell all summer long.

And now, autumn is also dead.
