The Whispering Verses Chapter 1873: Miles Love Story
Chapter 1873 Miles Love Story
The tip of the old man's pen touched the paper of the relic:
"When he said goodbye to me, it was a beautiful spring evening, which was also the third year after we first met. The sunset that evening was really brilliant, and he held my hand and walked away In the village, he invited me to the top of the bell tower to tell me something very important. It was really nostalgic. After so many years, I still remember the temperature of his palms that day, and we walked through the bell tower together. Steps, hugging the highest floor of the clock tower that exists in my hometown, looking out the window at the sunset in the distance."
The environment of the bell tower itself has not changed at all, but a bright orange-red sunlight shines in from the windows on all sides. The sunlight was more dazzling than the bonfire. Shade and Miss Higgins both subconsciously squinted their eyes, and then smiled to welcome the warm sunshine.
They all stood up, walked to the window and looked outside. Under the bright sunset, there is a small and fertile village located in the valley basin. Smoke rises from the kitchen, and the barking of dogs comes from the corner of the village. The villagers carrying farm tools return home, and the children happily walk on the path in the village. Running, this is a very warm scene.
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Shade and Miss Higgins turned to look, and then they saw the young girl holding each other's hands and the young man with a long sword hanging on his waist walking up together.
The faces of both of them were flushed by the setting sun, and even their hair and clothes were blushing.
They hugged each other and came to the window facing the west, watching the sunset together. Suddenly the young man hugged the young girl from behind, and the latter gave his lover a gentle push. His ruddy ears even turned translucent under the bright sunset.
"It's so romantic. It would be better if it were two girls."
Shad heard Miss Higgins’ muttering, and then heard the words of the two young people in Mrs. Miles’ memory:
"Sarah, I am leaving my hometown. No, please listen to me. I want to go to the battlefield and achieve merit, and then come back with honor to marry you."
The blond young man who spoke hugged his lover tightly, and the plain-looking but gentle Miss Sarah Myers pursed her lips and asked softly:
"Marry me?"
"Yes, my knighthood comes from my father, and everything I have is given by my father. Now I don't have the ability to make you my wife, please wait for me, this does not involve The witch's war will end soon. I will come back within a year at most. I will come back with military merit and a reward from the lord, and make you my wife."
After that, he still joked:
"Maybe when I come back, you will have awakened as a witch and abandoned me."
"No, Richard, please don't say that, I will always wait for you, waiting for you to come back."
The young girl turned around, put her arms around her lover's neck and hugged him again.
Shad saw Miss Higgins shaking her head because of Mrs. Miles's young words. She did not believe that anyone could be immune to the effects of the witch's curse. The fact is that Mrs. Miles did not become a witch.
"I kept my promise and waited for him to come back."
The young man and woman hugging each other remained silent for a long time, as if they wanted to melt themselves into the sunset of this evening and become an eternal landscape oil painting. The old man beside the bonfire spoke in a slow voice. Contrary to Shade and Miss Higgins watching this scene, her back was turned to the embracing man and woman. She did not need to look back. This scene had already remained in her heart forever:
"I waited and waited, and waited, until wrinkles crept onto my cheeks, and my hair turned frosty white. Waited until the village fell after a plague, until the lord was murdered by his son, and then a new lord came to power. I have been waiting for him to come back, and I believe he will come back."
Xia De's sigh concluded the old man's words. This memory is not over yet. The young men and women hugging each other made their own promises:
"I will wait for you to come back. You have to hurry up, otherwise I will get old."
"Yes, next spring, it will still be the same season. Please be here, at the highest point, and be the first to wait for me to bring my horse back."
"I have a garland of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme ready for you, and I'm here for you."
Two young hearts are close to each other, eyes are staring at each other, and noses are touching. They kissed each other against the backdrop of the setting sun, making Miss Higgins shake her head again:
"I don't like this kind of story. I already know it has a tragic ending. Even if the content in the middle of the story is interesting and touching, I don't like it at all. Madam, this tower, oh, I mean the hometown in your memory Does the bell tower still exist? ”
The old man looked at the words he had written and shook his head slightly:
"Every spring, when the sun is at its best, I go to the bell tower to wait for him. I waited for 12 years, but only waited until the plague came and all the survivors in the village left. I followed my family He had to move away, but he would return to his hometown again every spring and wait for a day on the tower. In the 23rd year after he left, the unmaintained bell tower collapsed after a heavy rain in the summer. I would bring the wreath I had made and wait for him on the ruins every year. Year after year, I would watch the sun rise and set, watch the wind, frost, rain and snow."
The young witch suddenly thought of what happened before:
"Garland? You mean, the garland that His Majesty did not allow you to take with you when we set off?"
After speaking, he explained to Sha De:
"In a place like Black Mist Camp, Your Majesty expects that even the most beautiful flowers will wither immediately."
Xia De nodded, and then became concerned about the follow-up of the story:
"Madam, when did you make up your mind to come to the dangerous area we are in now?"
"I have been waiting for him all my life. I thought there was no hope anymore. Unexpectedly, in the spring of about 7 years ago, when I was waiting again on the ruins of the bell tower in my hometown, I could not wait for him, but he did. A girl riding a blue chocobo. She told me that the youngest daughter of my mother’s brother had just established a country on the edge of the desert on the other side of the western continent. She had many enemies before and did not dare to come to us, but now she finally defeated her. I have defeated all my enemies and will take me away to enjoy my happiness.”
"I'm so envious, ahem, I mean, you are so lucky."
Miss Higgins said, Shade looked at the young man and woman who were still kissing, but in fact their memories had been frozen:
"That happened seven years ago?"
The old man sighed amidst the crackling sound of the bonfire:
"My cousin and I were not familiar with each other at first, and for so many years, I have been expecting him to come back as promised, so I didn't ask her to help me. Later, I still returned to my hometown every spring, and my cousin also accompanied me. I waited together, and she also advised me to find him myself if I couldn't wait. She tried divination for me, and tried other methods, but none of them succeeded. In the past two years, my health has deteriorated. No, even she can't let me, an ordinary person, live for a few more years, so I came up with the plan to come here."
Shadow and Miss Higgins both had the same expressions. It seemed that the young witch did not know that there was such a story:
"Indeed, if even His Majesty's divination cannot find Mr. Richard Knight Jackman, we can only turn to this place. The memory ends here. Has that gentleman come back? ?"
She asked curiously. Shade also looked around, but did not see any souls appearing here. Only the memory scenes like solidified landscape oil paintings remained for a long time.
He thought for a while and came up with an idea:
"Mrs. Myers, please stop sitting, please stand up. Yes, please say that name again, say it carefully."
Miss Higgins hurried over and helped the old man up. Mrs. Myers stood up by the bonfire and carefully arranged her clothes:
"Richard Knight Jackman."
She tried to shout. Miss Higgins quickly turned her head to look at the stairs, but there was still no one there. However, Shade saw that the fingers of the young man who was kissing his lover moved.
"Richard Knight Jackman."
The old man shouted again, and then he seemed to realize something and looked towards the clock tower window to see the young man in his memory under the setting sun.
The young girl in his arms has disappeared. After the second call, his raised arms have been lowered, and he stands facing the sunset with his back to the three people behind him.
Miss Higgins looked like she was about to explode with excitement, not only because she saw a good story, but also because this **** journey had finally come to an end. Even Shade smiled at this. He had just experienced the most painful moment since coming into this world. Seeing this warm story at this moment, he naturally felt joy in his heart.
"Richard Knight Jackman."
The third time Mrs. Miles called out the name, she asked Miss Higgins to let her go, and then she took a step forward in disbelief. And the figure with his back to the three people slowly turned around and looked at her.
The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, still the same young blond youth under the bright spring sunset. However, her head was already full of white hair, and her cheeks were covered with wrinkles. But nothing seemed to have changed much. The young man turned around and looked at her in shock, and immediately recognized who it was:
"Sarah!"
"Richard!"
The two opened their arms and hugged each other tightly. Not only was Mrs. Miles crying, but young Richard was also crying:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm late."
He is no longer the person who existed in the memory revealed by the relic. Both Shade and Miss Higgins can recognize that he is really the soul that is being searched for.
"But."
Xia De twitched his nose:
"Why does it smell like sulfur?"
