Chapter 3427: Reflection

*************************************************** ***************************************

To be honest, I never thought Gal would wake up.

It's not that I don't want him to wake up, but given his previous state, it's really unimaginable that he can wake up again. I'm always mentally prepared to hear bad news one day.

I am ashamed to say that since I entered the world of trials, I have never visited Gallon. Otherwise, I would not have even known Twin Tails. It has been a full fifty years. Although time cannot kill everything, it can Kill most things.

Now that I have seen it, my slow brain gradually recalled the days when we wandered together in the hell world, including its magical trick of scattering flowers, and gradually regained the feeling of getting along with each other before. However, for Twin Tails, we only It’s just a few days since we last met, and my behavior was really weird.

No wonder others, it should be me, have to work hard to remember these people, their appearances, personalities, and the memories of getting along with them, so that no one can see the clues. I have already caused many people to worry, and I don’t want to add more to it in vain. More trouble.

For example, the faces of the eldest brother and the second brother are blurred in my mind. Of course, they can definitely be recognized as long as they see it, especially the handsome friendless face of the eldest brother. It should not be mistaken for the second brother. Brother, barbarians generally have big, bald heads with braids and tattoos on their faces, which makes people face blind.

Shaking his head, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. At this time, he couldn't be in a daze any longer. He had to go take a look with Shuangwei.

Stumbling, I took the first step.

I don’t think the relationship between me and Galen is very deep, at least the relationship between master and disciple is not worthy of this sentence, although Galen has the greatest influence on me.

After all, we only got along for such a short period of time, and then, after meeting twice in the third world, I entrusted my little junior sister to me, and then disappeared without a trace.

We spend too little time together, and it’s not like we hit it off right away. We are ten centuries apart in age. How can we have a common language and feel sympathy for each other? Being able to communicate normally shows that Gallen is working hard and is not with this person. The times are out of touch.

Therefore, during these few days when I was trapped in the nightmare that tested the world, whenever I woke up, I was busy replenishing energy and did not visit Galen. Although I felt very ashamed, I still felt that I could justify myself.

Because of this, I didn't expect that the news of Gallon's awakening would affect me so much. My brain roared, and then I subconsciously wanted to take a look.

Maybe it's because, deep down in my heart, I respect this old man, not because he is my teacher, but because of his strength, his ability to achieve what he has achieved today, and his character of being the strongest without any arrogance. style.

The most important thing is that after being tested in the world, I deeply realized it.

How difficult it is to live for a thousand years. This alone is enough to make people awe-inspiring.

Gallon's ward was not far from here. It was originally a residence reserved for Akara. Before Akala left, he arranged for someone to take good care of him, but Twin Tails was always with Gallon. This old cat, although his mouth was hard, was always He puts on an indifferent face like an elegant gentleman, but actually values ​​friendship more than anyone else.

After walking a few steps, I arrived at my destination. I gently opened the door. In the slightly dim room, I saw the haggard Galen lying on the bed. He seemed to have become more mature than the last time I saw him. He became even weaker, and at first glance, he thought there was a skeleton covered in skin lying on the bed.

It was such an old skeleton that made people wonder if he was still alive. His eyelids, which had been sleeping for a long time and seemed to be completely sewn shut, were slightly opened at this time.

The old pharmacist sent by Akara had an excited face and was constantly touching Gallon's body. The boiled black paste potion was put aside for ready use.

"Gallon, your student is here to see you. Do you want to say anything? It's not like you to look half dead." Shuangwei strode to the bed and opened the curtains.

I followed a few steps forward, and when I saw Gallon like this, my voice suddenly choked up and I was speechless.

"Gallon...Teacher Gallon? Are you okay?"

Gallon, who only opened a slit of his eyes, did not respond. He just lay there blankly, staring at the ceiling. Through the slits of his eyes, he could barely see that his eyes were turbid, like a puddle of quagmire. , without bringing any soul.

He didn't hear Futou's words or my words at all.

"Shh, be quiet first." The old pharmacist, who had been fussing for a while, asked us not to fuss.

"Let him calm down for a while. He has been sleeping for so long and has been struggling between life and death. After finally waking up, his mind is probably still in chaos."

After a pause, the experienced old pharmacist hesitated and said uncertainly.

"Perhaps, he is the one who is most surprised and shocked. He didn't expect to wake up. I would like to ask if he had any stimulation before he was injured. Judging from his current state..."

The voice gradually became lower, and the old pharmacist pulled us aside, a little away from the bed, and then continued hesitantly.

"Judging from his current state, it seems that... Lord Gallen seems... not to have expected it at all... and... and is not happy to see him wake up."

The girls also came over. After hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Twin Tails. Gallon was rescued by it. Maybe it knew something.

"I don't know either." Shuangwei shrugged, expressing helplessness: "However, since I have fought with that person, it is probably normal for me to be stimulated."

After it reminded us like this, we suddenly understood.

That's right, his final opponent was the demon king Belial who took pleasure in playing with people's hearts. I'm afraid the damage he suffered was not just physical. Thinking of what Belial had done to me, I couldn't help but feel furious. think.

What about gallons? Logically speaking, this old man who has lived for more than a thousand years should have a will that is ten times stronger than his own. Moreover, he is most likely to have nothing to worry about anymore. What method did Belial use to attack him? Let him be stimulated? What is the flaw in his soul?

I can't figure it out, I don't understand. I only know one thing, and it's something I must do as long as I live.

Belial must die.

This guy's methods of inciting hatred are as unfathomable as his wisdom, and he seems to be happy to see others hate him and look helpless. My hatred and murderous intention for him are greater than those of the other six giants. That adds up to more.

I was about to say something, but Shuangwei couldn't wait to speak.

"How is Gallon's condition? Can he hold on?"

The old pharmacist thought for a while and said: "I have never encountered such a situation in my life. With such a serious injury and such an old body, it is still a huge miracle to be able to wake up tenaciously. So No, I can’t guarantee anything, but since a miracle has happened, I think it won’t fall easily for the time being.”

Before the two tails could be happy, he continued with a solemn look: "However, no matter how tenacious its life is, it cannot fight against such a decayed body unless it can give up this body and survive in another form. , like Alice-sama, for example, but I think it is difficult. Gallon-sama's injuries are not only physical, but also mental... In other words, his soul is already very weak, and his will to survive is not strong, so ……so……"

He showed a helpless expression and sighed softly: "So, I advise you to be mentally prepared. In my opinion, this may be the last moment of recovery."

After hearing these words, everyone was speechless for a long time. In the end, Twin Tails looked the most open. It crossed its arms across its chest and swung its two cat tails back and forth.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Being able to wake up is already a huge miracle for this old man. We can't expect too much. It doesn't matter. This guy will never have peace in his life. Just treat it as God's mercy and let him be in peace. Let’s walk the last stretch of the road quietly.”

"It's best to think this way, to be able to accompany him through the last period of time, to finish what he wants to do, to be worry-free, and to walk with a light body."

The old pharmacist comforted us, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.

During this period, he accepted Akara's entrustment. As Gallen's exclusive pharmacist, he understood Gallon's physical condition better than anyone else. I am afraid that the real wish of this old man who is on the verge of death and has no desire to survive is not to wake up. Come here and spend your last peaceful days, or achieve something without worries.

His greatest wish should be to die as soon as possible.

It's just that, in this case, it is too cruel to face these relatives and friends in front of you, but you can't say it anyway.

"Can he still wake up and communicate normally?"

Looking at Galen's current appearance from a distance, Twin Tails asked again.

"It should be fine. As I said just now, the current situation is just because I have been sleeping for too long, and my brain is still a little unclear. Maybe I can't hear, see clearly, or recognize people for the time being. It will be better after a while."

"How long will it take?" I finally got the chance to ask.

"Well, it depends on Mr. Gallen himself. It should take a day or two as expected. So, everyone go back first and let him be quiet for a while. I will always keep an eye on him here. If anything happens, , we will notify you as soon as possible.”

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Ricodom."

I solemnly thanked her, not only because she has been taking care of Gallen and Lena's illness, she is also one of the attending pharmacists, and can be said to be the royal doctor of the alliance, so she knows the little ghost and knows us.

In order not to disturb Galen's awakening, we could only leave the ward quietly again. It seems that we want to wait for him to regain consciousness, at least until tomorrow. For me, it is ten years later. I have to write it down carefully to avoid it. It's time to forget about this. This is the most basic duty of a student.

When we got home, we not only sighed for a while, but also talked a lot about Gallon. The diamond powder clear soup noodles made by the little ghost back then seemed to be still vivid in our minds, but now they have changed.

I couldn't help but think, is waking up this time a good thing or a bad thing for Galen? Although we don't understand it as clearly as Ricodom, we know that Galen has lost his desire to survive, and we have also thought about the possibility. Perhaps Galen himself is not willing to wake up on his own.

However, his life is too tenacious, even if he loses the power of the strongest, even if his body is old and decayed, even if his spirit and soul are devastated, even if he loses his will to survive.

The fire of life is still burning desperately, even if it is against the owner's wishes.

Thinking about it this way, if it were a gallon full of energy, energy, and fighting spirit, how powerful and terrifying would it be? And how terrifying is Belial who plays with him in the palm of his hand?

It’s discouraging to think about it. I can’t do it anymore. I have to add more Vilas energy, otherwise I will degenerate into a salted fish. Although I am no different from a salted fish now, at least I am still a fish with dreams, full of fighting spirit and motivation. Salted fish.

In the afternoon, I exercised even harder. The old drunkard got the news about Gallon from somewhere and chatted about it with the girls in the audience. However, he did not give up monitoring me despite his busy schedule. Whenever he had a little training If he is not in place, he will have to bear the long-distance knock from the tail of her gun.

At night, there was still no news from Likodom, so I had no choice but to touch ten years as a sign of respect.

In the last ten years...well, I'm sorry, I didn't keep the 10 million and flew away.

No matter how thick the Basics of Magic is, it is still not enough for me to read for ten years, even if I read it four or five times.

I can’t describe it well, but I just feel that magic is a course that needs more guidance from teachers than repairmen. At least repairers slowly accumulate proficiency and can still make progress little by little. As for magic, if you don’t understand something, you don’t understand it. No one I couldn't get around this bend with pointers, but I suddenly figured it out and went around it. If it exists, it means you have magic talent.

Fortunately, I still have some basic knowledge. Through self-study in this brick book, I can understand a few things. The problem is, this is just the basics. It just helps me understand the things I want to learn more easily. There is no Additional help.

Looking at the old books, I naturally had new ideas. It was not a desire for knowledge, but just curiosity. Can I continue to take the next step?

So, 10 million was gone. I returned to the first world and entered the Horadric tribe’s mage tower. I heard Dia say that the mage tower has a defense system and ordinary people cannot easily enter. Even if the world’s powerful people want to It's impossible to break in. I don't know if Evelina didn't want to embarrass me and canceled this layer of defense system, or if my identity as a prince of the Horadric clan has been recognized by the Mage Tower. In short, I didn't encounter any obstruction. It's just a little... well, confusing. After all, it's very, very big inside.

According to common sense, I searched the first floor and stuffed all the understandable notes and books into the inventory. It was already emptied when I arrived. After all, it was ten million. Ten million, I had to make some money back. Isn't it?

When I felt it was almost the same, enough for me to look at it for decades and ponder it for hundreds of years, I stopped and felt that there was still something missing. It should be Tia. It would be great if she could come back soon.

During this period, I blasted through various bosses in the second world several times, so I have to go back to the basics, right?

The above is what happened in the last ten years...
