Silent Crown Chapter 18: Future

　　 When Ye Qingxuan walked down from the reception room, he saw the priest sitting on a chair in the library, looking down at the hadeeth he hadn't copied the other day, his expression was indifferent, but a little melancholy.

　　 Ye Qingxuan walked to his side and apologized in a low voice: "Sorry, Father, I failed your expectations."

　　 "Although I know you are a troublesome kid..."

　　 Father Benn shook his head: "But this time it really makes me difficult."

　　"It has always been so difficult, Father." Ye Qingxuan laughed: "It has been so hard to bear with me for so many years."

　　 "Yes, a bad child like you who has a brain and a vengeance will make people headaches wherever they go." The priest said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it now, I It’s a lot easier too."

　　 Ye Qingxuan smiled, and after a long silence, he asked: "Father, why, why did you ask me to be a scribe here?"

　　 "Because you are a child who can read and write, you don't need to arrange board and lodging, you only pay half of your salary. And it doesn't seem to be incurable, you can save it." The priest replied without thinking.

　　 "Is that all?"

　　 Ye Qingxuan couldn't believe it.

　　 "Is that enough?"

　　 Ye Qingxuan was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: "Father, you really are a good person."

　　 "So I treat you not badly."

Father 　　 got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Ye, you have been fired from today. Let this thing be a parting gift."

　　 He lost something, Ye Qingxuan took it, and saw a three-ring nested circular holy emblem, about the size of a coin. It is dark gold, like some kind of token, with a line of fine codes pressed on its edge, but when it touches it, it feels smooth and has no dents.

　　 "What is this?"

　　 "The holy emblem represents that you have been recognized by the Order. It is something that was awarded to you in advance, and I will help you with the procedures when I return to the Holy City." The priest said lightly: "With it you can handle a small A small interest-free loan, or limited help from any church in any place. At least if you can’t hang out in the future, you don’t need to sleep on the street."

　　 "Thank you then."

　　 Ye Qingxuan popped up the holy emblem, caught it, put it into his pocket, and continued to blink with his big eyes: "Anything else? Generally, at this time, you should not give me an artifact or a peerless one. The map of swordsmanship?"

　　 "I don't have any of the things you said, but there is an axe in the backyard. Would you like it?"

　　 Ye Qingxuan didn't dare to ask for it. He wasn't sure if the axe would smash his skull when it was given to him.

　　 "If it's okay, you can go and pack your luggage. When you go to Avalon... I won't see you off." The priest waved his hand and motioned him to leave.

　　 Ye Qingxuan stood by, opening and closing his lips, but didn't know what to say.

　　 He looked at the slightly older man in front of him, this strange priest who was cold, stubborn, could not speak, never tolerated the mistakes of others, and always set an example.

　　 Five years ago, he pushed open the door of the church, saw himself in the snow, and reached out to him. It's not a charity, but a relief as a matter of course. He was about to leave this church in five years, but he looked at the man in front of him, but suddenly he felt a little reluctant.

　　 Finally, he still didn't think what kind of goodbye words would be the best, so he could only silently nod his head and turn around to close the door for him. But when he left, he hesitated.

　　 Ye Qingxuan turned his head and saw his eyes closed in prayer. Suddenly, the sadness in his heart surged thousands of times. He didn't dare to stay any longer and wanted to escape from here.

　　"Father, I still feel...it was great to be saved by you at that time."

　　During the prayer, the priest suddenly heard the boy saying goodbye. He was stunned and raised his head, only having time to see the white-haired boy running into the sunlight outside the door.

　　 The afternoon sun was dazzling and dazzling, engulfing his shadow, as if he had walked into his future.

　　 Five years ago, that little kid is no longer a kid finally.

　　 Father Bann’s lips trembled, after all, he did not stop the young man from his back. Just stare at him gradually, watching him run farther and farther, and in the end, he disappeared.

　　 In this long-lost silence, the corners of the priest's lips twitched slightly.

　　 seems to be laughing.

　　 The following day, it was a quarter of noon on the dock.

　　 Ye Qingxuan carried a huge suitcase, squatted on a chair, waiting for another quarter of an hour, a ship from Birmingham to Avalon passed by here.

　　-‘Titan’, a new type of ship purchased by the East India Company from the mission’s shipyard. It is said that the first-generation freighter is like a sampan compared to its cargo capacity and speed.

　　The big ships generally don’t pass by such a small wharf because the draft of the wharf is too shallow. But when passing by, a sampan will be put down to deliver mail from all over the country and some goods ordered by merchants to the town. Ye Qingxuan can use the priest to put a sampan on his holy emblem, and get on the ship before making up for the ticket.

　　 This is the fastest way to get to Avalon, and this is also the greatest convenience the priest can bring to Ye Qingxuan within his permission. The wolf flute, which departed on the same day as him, was in a carriage, but he only left in the afternoon, so he came to see him off with Vito.

　　"The first time you go out, you will probably be a little nervous. But you can go on the road with peace of mind. The money order for the bounty will be credited to your account in the Order in half a month. At that time, you will take the holy emblem to the church to borrow money. Just pick it up."

　　The wolf flute patted him on the shoulder, and said in a whisper: "After going to Avalon, be careful, remember to find a hotel near the school first. You will have a dormitory after you enroll. Avalon In the past two years, the environmental pollution has been serious. The PM has exceeded the standard. Uh, you can just understand that the air is bad. Remember to buy a mask and wear it."

　　 said, he paused, his expression turned ugly: "Remember to be careful of the dead children who beg for food after disembarking, they will steal your money."

　　 "Don't worry about me, Mr. Wolf flute."

　　 Ye Qingxuan laughed: "I was one of those dead children many years ago."

　　 "You guys who mess with society are really not cute at all."

　　Wolf flute shook his head, and soon he remembered something. After looking around and finding that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice: "Ye, there is one thing I think I need to tell you."

　　 "Huh?"

　　 "Whatever the reason, you must remember that when you return to Avalon this time, you can no longer say that you are the son of a black musician." He pressed the shoulder of the white-haired boy: "You are just me drifting in the east. It’s just a young man I knew at the time, do you understand?"

　　 Ye Qingxuan was silent. He looked at the man in front of him and saw the sincerity and worry in his eyes, and he smiled reluctantly:

　　 "Do you know everything?"

　　 "I am a musician anyway."

　　Wolf flute looked at his eyes and sighed softly: "From the time I found out that you knew the song of the rain devil, I felt it vaguely, but I didn't expect it to be true."

　　 Ye Qingxuan was silent.

　　"Oriental people, with the silver hair of'Dragon Vein Blood', and the surname'Ye'... The characteristics are too obvious, and you can understand it after a little thought.

　　 The scepter-level musician who used to be a wizard of the sky, is now the third most wanted on the list, and a traitor who committed to the natural disasters after killing 16 Royal Anglo musicians five years ago: ‘Moon Yin’-Ye Lanzhou. "

　　Wolf flute sighed: "I was also shocked, you turned out to be his son. This will explain that you know the song of the rain demon, after all, your father was once the best evil **** hunter."

　　 "My father is not a traitor."

　　 Ye Lanzhou whispered: "He didn't betray mankind."

　　"The problem is, everyone thinks so."

　　Wolf flute organized the words, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly: "I can only say that he used to be a very good person. After all, when I was at the Royal Conservatory of Music, he once went to the Oriental music theory he taught, and he invited me This poor student ate dinner."

　　 "Do you know him?"

　　"He used to teach at the Royal Conservatory of Music, but he did not do it after he got married.

　　 Anyway, whether you want to find out what happened back then or what you have to do. I suggest that you pretend to be an overseas student from the East. After all, it's good for you. "

　　 In the long silence, the white-haired boy seemed to be thinking intently.

　　"Mr. Wolfflute, are you not afraid?" Ye Qingxuan suddenly laughed and asked softly: "Are you not afraid that I will betray humans and be a traitor?"

　　"Ye, sometimes you are really a kid who doesn't know yourself."

　　Wolf flute looked down at him and laughed mercilessly: "You know? You are the legendary guy who can’t be creative even if you do bad things, so...be honestly a good person. ."

　　 said, he took out a thick notebook from his pocket and put it in his hand: "This thing, as part of the thank you gift, please advance it to you in advance."

　　 Ye Qingxuan took the thick notebook and found that it was a cowhide notebook of some years. After opening it by hand, he found that it was full of tiny handwritings and various graphics.

　　 Its binding really took a lot of effort. Even the cowhide cover is much thicker than an ordinary book, and it looks like an iron sheet when it is pinched.

　　"These are the notes I just entered the college that year, including the entry notes of the four schools, and some miscellaneous things. Oh, yes, this part was written during your father's class!"

　　 beside, Wolf flute flipped through the notes and pointed to one of the pages.

　　On that page, I just wrote a simple two-line scribbled note, and what is left is a weird-looking sheet of music. It seems incomplete, making it impossible to identify clearly.

　　 "I'm sorry, I went to bed when I was in class, and I forgot what class I took, hahaha..."

　　 Wolf flute laughed awkwardly.

　　After Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, he bent over to thank him, and put the note in his suitcase: "I will read it well, thank you, Mr. Wolfflute."

　　 "Nothing...just a notebook, don't care, don't lose it."

　　Wolf flute looked at his silent eyes and patted his shoulder lightly: "Don’t pull anything over, live your life. If you can get into school, I’ll give you a gift. Yours."

　　 "Then make an appointment?"

　　 "Well, it's an appointment."

　　The wolf flute took two steps back, put on his top hat, and drove away in the carriage.

　　－

　　－

　　 The silent sea suddenly fluctuated, and a huge ship in the distance came by riding the wind and waves, and wherever it passed, layered ripples were left, spreading in all directions.

　　 "Send you here."

　　 Vito hammered Ye Qingxuan’s chest: "I don’t have to think about it in Avalon in the future. After the priest is gone, I will run away. Maybe in two or three years, you won’t be able to hang on anymore. , You can come to me, I will definitely become a big shot by then."

　　 "Hey, hello, do you want to be so confident?" Ye Qingxuan couldn't help laughing.

　　 "A bad embryo like me will only get better and better, right?"

　　 Vito pushed him as if trying to drive him away, cutting off his perseverance: "Don’t go around, go! If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to catch up with the boat.

　　 After going to Avalon, don’t worry about others, anyway, I’ll definitely have a good time. You don't want to be too bad. "

　　 In the afternoon sun, the blond teenager with a peaked cap grinned, with a small wooden stick in his teeth, like his own pipe. He had no nostalgia when he waved goodbye, because he was convinced that one day they would meet again.

　　 "Goodbye, Vito."

　　 Ye Qingxuan gave him a hug and whispered softly.

　　 Lao Fei also ran next to him, stood up with his tongue out, and patted his shoulder with his salivatized paws to show his ardent expectation for the second brother. Then he went into Ye Qingxuan's suitcase.

　　 Ye Qingxuan glanced at him one last time and stepped on the sampan.

　　－

　　－

　　 When the huge ship pulled anchor from the seabed and started sailing again, Ye Qingxuan stood on the deck, not daring to look back.

　　 He knew that behind him, the coast was going away bit by bit, as if a part of his heart was hollowed out bit by bit. Perhaps a stage in his own life has stayed there forever.

　　 "Sir, please follow me."

　　 The waiter awakened him politely and led the way forward: "Your room is ready. This voyage will arrive at Avalon in three days. I wish you a wonderful journey."

　　 "Thank you."

　　 Ye Qingxuan smiled.

　　 Just like that, the white-haired boy carrying a suitcase, a box of old clothes, three hundred pounds of banknotes, an iron box and a strange old dog, embarked on a journey that will never return. .

　　He is sixteen years old this year, he has not yet bowed, but he is an adult.

　　 "I'm here, Avalon."

　　－

　　－

　　 When the sampan slowly left the pier and sailed to the distance, Vito was finally left alone on the pier.

　　He stared at the empty sea, his only friend was drifting away.

　　"Hehe, are you sad? Human feelings are so weak."

　　 A faint voice sounded: "In a short life, how many lives did humans squander because of this hormone-controlled emotion? Give so much just for a beautiful dream..."

　　 "Hey, old ghost, you are really annoying."

　　 Vito looked down at his arms and sighed softly: "Chip, Chir, can you shut up?"

　　 "Bold, I am..."

　　 "You are now a bug in a bottle, a waste snack that you dare not even touch the air. If I hadn't picked you up, you would have been eaten by your **** as a cold dish before the meal."

　　 Vito said coldly: "Respected Master Bu Yu, I can’t speak, if I say something wrong, please come out and bite me."

　　 "Fart boy! If it was before, I must kill you!"

　　In his pocket, in a thumb-sized bottle, a worm that squirmed like mercury roared: "I just made a little mistake in the pursuit of eternity! If it weren't for you, I would have been born again!"

　　 "Hehe." Vito sneered and declined to comment.

　　 After a long time, Master Bu Yu finally calmed down and sighed in a low voice: "Why do you bother me? Don't we cooperate well with each other? I find a new body, and you can also become prosperous..."

　　 "That's right, but...Did you make a mistake?"

　　 Vito put his eyes in front of the bottle and looked at the mercury worm: "I promise your terms of cooperation, only Feihuang Tengda, but no new body."

　　 "Asshole!"

　　 "To blame, you signed any agreement to survive at that time!... However, although you always can't see the situation clearly, there is one sentence I quite agree with."

　　 "Huh?"

　　 "Power, old man, power."

　　 Vito looked down at his shadow. Under the scorching sun, that single shadow swayed lonely, dim and pitiful: "I am so weak, it must be because I have no power."

　　 "I have been afraid of many things, but one day, I will be afraid of nothing..."

　　Under the scorching sun~IndoMTL.com~The coal mountain where his pupils are lit by bright light has a dark red flame:

　　"——As long as I am better than anyone else."
