Chapter 37: A Bright Future
Throughout the Lost Galactic Capital, time flies as every move of the Microf civilization changes dramatically.
In the blink of an eye, it was the year of the starfall of 841, November 14.
Moldavia, in the residential area of the southern city, Priest stood at the door of his house, watching Sur gently arrange Britney's collar, and then put the schoolbag with the dandelion pompom doll on his back, although his face was serious, the corners of his mouth could not help but bring a smile.
"Britney, are you ready for the mental terminal and textbooks?" Priest noticed that at the corner of the street, there was a tall magic car slowly coming, with the sign of Wintercastle Elementary College hanging on the front of the car, he knew that this was the school bus that came to pick up his sister to go to school, so he couldn't help but remind: "Remember to eat at noon, just go to the cafeteria to show your spirit terminal, I gave you money, don't come back hungry and crying like last time." ”
"Not really!" Hearing this, the girl who had obediently asked Sur to sort out her clothes and hair suddenly turned red, and shook her hand in a little panic: "That time, that time was the first time I went to school, I was too nervous to forget about it - this time it will definitely not be!" ”
"Okay, stop teasing her." After making sure that the mental terminal necklace that Britney hung on her chest was working properly, Sur in her ghost form canceled her magic power to interfere with the material world and became illusory, she turned her head and said to Priest with a smile, "You're going to leave later, right?" ”
“…… Yes. ”
Hearing this, Priest, who was in a good mood because he teased his sister, and couldn't hold back his laughter, suddenly calmed down, he raised his hand, touched his unshaven beard on his chin, and said calmly: "The teacher asked me by name - to be precise, he asked the entire elite team to go together." Not only that, but there was also Ivan next door, his first squad, and Lisa Syndicate's group...... The teacher personally dispatched this time, and those of us who are apprentices and students naturally have to go together. ”
Noticing that both Sur and Britney suddenly became silent, Priest scratched his head with some distress and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me, after all, it's not a dangerous place like going to the Extremely Dark Abyss, it's just going to other worlds and galaxies, there's nothing to be afraid of." ”
“…… That's not what I'm afraid of. ”
The elven girl in ghost form sighed faintly: "After all, both me and Britney are used to you going out all day long - I used to be able to go with you, but now in order to take care of Britney, I can only stay...... In short, if you go out on a mission, even if it takes a little longer, it is not impossible to contact, but what we are worried about is whether Master Radcliffe can control himself. ”
Although the general public did not know very well, people close to him, such as Priest and Soul, knew about Joshua's current condition.
Compared to the dangers on the way of the expeditionary fleet, they knew the strength of the Lord, and they knew where they really should be worried.
In this regard, Priest sighed and said, "It's okay - hasn't the benefits brought by the hot operation of the Discord Continent been obvious in the past few months?" The teacher's condition has improved a lot, and he said yes, we can only trust him. ”
By this time, the school bus had arrived at the door, Priest shook his head, he stepped forward, lifted Britney, spun around in mid-air, and before his sister was a little annoyed, he withdrew his hand and held her in his arms.
The young warrior smiled and said, "Don't worry, although we may not actually see each other for a long time, the expeditionary fleet will set up teleportation terminals along the way - we can meet through the spirit terminal." ”
"Anyway, every time you speak, I don't have any reason to keep you......"
Being held in the arms of her brother, although she is not very old, Britney, who is already very mature in her mind, whispered a little unwillingly: "This time you can't talk and don't count, okay?" Come back safely, I'll definitely be the first place in the lower academy to show off to you! ”
"Of course."
With a brief answer, proving his determination, Priest put Britney down and watched her quietly board the bus, guided to his seat by an elven teacher, who watched as the bus started slowly, his sister waved goodbye to him at the window, and he raised his hand and waved to the bus with Soul.
The bus disappeared around the corner, a man and a ghost lowered their hands, and Priest fell silent, while Soulr laughed and waved his hand to the back of the head.
"What's wrong? Aren't you the most adventurous? It's obviously a great expedition to other worlds, but why is it so serious? ”
The elven girl's ghostly hand passed through Priest's head, bringing a cold touch, and she said with a nonchalant expression: "You guy, you obviously said that you would take me to see the wider scenery, but you called me over to be Britney's babysitter, and ran out on adventure by yourself - I'm not even angry, what are you doing here?" ”
“…… Mainly, it's a little emotional. ”
Reprimanded by Sur's set of words that God knows if it was a cheer or a blow, Priest rubbed his face, and finally made his somewhat stiff expression a little lively, he raised his head and sighed: "You know, Sur, after all these years, I feel like I'm dreaming...... Whether it's coming to Moldavia, entering Wintercastle Academy, becoming a student of that adult, or meeting you, it feels like a dream. ”
"Ten years ago, I was still in the southern border of the empire, and I was terrified every day of the arrival of the Kuroshio Tide, which destroyed my hometown and killed my parents, and I was displaced with my sister, gritting my teeth and struggling to survive...... It was painful and impoverished, but it was unusually real. ”
"Now, I have become a student of the legendary powerhouse, I was told that I can be regarded as a genius, and now I have the strength of the golden rank, an interesting and enviable job, and even some time ago, I got a huge reward that ordinary people can't spend in a lifetime...... Really, I never believed in fate before, but now, I feel that I can clearly see when fate has taken a huge turn in me, and everything now, compared to four years ago, is like a dream. ”
Priest's expression was not sad, he was even smiling, but this smile was a little empty for some reason, and he whispered: "'Expedition to the galaxy of the other world' - the Seven Gods are above, if it weren't for the fact that I had really joined the fleet, this kind of thing would not have been able to imagine ten years ago. ”
Obviously, Priest is not afraid or confused, he is just genuinely emotional, shocked and unbelievable by his life and fate, since he chose to come to Moldavia and try to join the Winter Castle Academy, this young warrior's future seems to have been distorted by an extremely large force, and has become as dazzling as he is now - he has even joined the great fleet on the expedition to the otherworldly galaxy, becoming a member of the fleet that is destined to go down in history in the future.
It's too beautiful and dreamy, so it makes Priest, who has suffered so much in the past, feel very unreal.
"Is fantasy a bad thing?"
After listening to Priest's words quietly, the ghost girl showed a somewhat illusory smile, she raised her hand like a good buddy and put it on Priest's shoulder, Sur showed the same sunny and cheerful smile as when she and Priest first met: "It's just an expedition to another world galaxy, and it shocked you like this?" You know, I didn't know that our entire hometown lives on the back of an evil god! Ten years ago, I didn't even climb the mountains in my hometown, and I had to endure the pain of chaos erosion every day, but now, ...... If you want to say contrast, if you want to say shock, can you compare with me? ”
Believe me, as long as we continue to follow that adult, as long as we continue to walk, there will be a broader world in the future, more dreamy things waiting for us, the road is still long, don't start remembering now. ”
Hahaha, Sur turned around, she left a word lightly, and walked into the house.
"-Also, don't stand outside the door, we're going to have to pack your luggage for the fleet to report later!"
The door was closed.
And Priest was alone outside the house for a while.
He thought about a lot of things.
- Fleet, Sister, Thor, Adventure, Expedition, Galaxy, the galaxy of another world, and now the world of Mycrof, the more and more advanced magic technology...... He really thinks about a lot of things.
But finally, he took a deep breath to clear out all the excess emotions - and before Sur's second urge, Priest turned and walked calmly towards his house.
Suer was right, he wasn't even thirty, he wasn't married and had children, he was still young, and it was too early to start thinking about the bittersweets.
There is still a long way to go, and the future must be a brighter future.
A similar scene occurred in the homes of almost all those who were selected to join the Starship Combined Expeditionary Fleet.
