Chapter 23 Rose



52

While the creatures were indulging in the secondary renovation, Su Yun was the first to return to the large ship floating in the shallow sea of ​​Creon Island.

The boat was still brightly lit, like a paradise on earth.

The gods' servants came and went in an orderly manner, but the mortals who came to visit them had already left, leaving nothing behind.

Su Yun restored the ship to its original appearance.

The labyrinth on Creon Island seems to be opening in the next few days. Although Su Yun already knew what is in the maze, he is still looking forward to this event.

I heard that there are heroes from various countries surrounding this sea. They have completely different races, languages, and customs. The collision of different civilizations will promote the progress of all civilizations. This is what Su Yun likes most.

Humans cannot achieve immortality, so they choose to reproduce, passing on knowledge from generation to generation, and this inheritance becomes civilization.

Who can say that civilization is not another kind of life? They are maintained by countless people who come together to create brilliant miracles or long-lasting epics; then they pass away in a tragic or quiet way, leaving behind a whale-like corpse or just a few light scratches and a few words.

Civilizations are magnificent lives, so beautiful that they can make people lose their souls.

Su Yun was looking forward to this event, so this became Jasmine's most important thing. I don't know how he did it, but when the event started, the most important seat was reserved.

When Su Yun arrived at his destination, thinking he was keeping a low profile, he was rather helpless to find that his seat was in the highest and most luxurious place, and the decoration style was very Jasmine.

As for the real owner of Creon Island, its new king was huddled aside trembling.

Su Yun looked at the king for a few more times: "Has the king... been replaced?"

Jasmine replied considerately, "The old king is old and has given up the throne to his heir."

After getting the answer, Su Yun nodded and no longer cared.

He came in stealth, but Jasmine still set up a set of rules for the group to play musical instruments and sing. When everyone's attention was focused on Jasmine, Su Yun sat in the seat given to him.

Su Yun didn't like to attract attention, but he didn't think he needed to hide to avoid human sight. He liked this event, and Jasmine ran around for him, so he had to sit here.

Heroes from all over the world have gathered in the square in front of the maze. Thousands of barrels of fine wine have been opened and placed in the open air. Hundreds of game meats have been roasted on the bonfire. Warriors of different skin colors are standing on the

Behind their respective seats, they wore rough armor and wielded primitive weapons.

Su Yun appeared quietly. He had learned from his last lesson, and this time he mixed a bit more humanity into his appearance. His aesthetic sense had been hindered in this world, so he could not always judge his own appearance well, and he mixed in a bit of humanity at random.

Jasmine had already walked out of his super guard of honor and walked silently to stand beside Su Yun.

"Don't you want to sit down?" Su Yun asked with a smile, "Maybe we have to wait for a long time."

Jasmine was wearing a platinum robe today. His smoky gray eyes seemed to be full of smiles. He sat down on the stool next to Su Yun and said, "If this is your order."

This man was obviously tall and brave, he was even taller than Su Yun, but when he sat next to Su Yun like this, he showed submission and docility - just like a lion lying beside him, longing only for the caress of his master.

After Jasmine sat down, Su Yun turned his attention to the square, only to find that the scene was eerily quiet.

This is a large open-air square with thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but no one is speaking at this moment, only the gentle sea breeze is blowing.

Su Yun, who heard the breathing and heartbeats of the masses, said: "..."

Well, the appearance is not adjusted well again.

Su Yun didn't plan to wait any longer. He turned directly to the monarch of this island: "King Creon?"

"Yes!" the young king almost jumped up, knocking over the stool, and repeated incoherently, "Yes! I am!"

Su Yun asked gently: "Such a grand event, why hasn't it started yet?"

He thought he was asking in a very casual way, but King Creon just stood there in a daze, as if he were stupid.

Su Yun: “…”

Jasmine couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up slowly and took over the hosting rights directly - although it had always been in his hands.

"My lord, please wait a moment." He bowed slightly, then pushed aside the wooden new King Creon and directly commanded the gods to open the door of the maze.

When the door of the maze slowly opens, even the most reluctant warriors have to pick up their weapons. Their purpose in coming here is the treasures in the maze, and being stranded in the square is not allowed.

The heroes have entered the maze one after another, and the rest of the people in the square are waiting quietly. The waiting time is boring. Although the gods brought by Jasmine are singing and dancing, there is no collision of civilizations that Su Yun wants to see the most.

He simply asked Theresa to deliver it

After reading the compiled chronicle, Theresa sat down next to him, and soon after, Alice came running over.

While Su Yun was reading the chronicle, a few people had already walked out of the maze, but it was obvious that they were all losers. Their broken bodies and frightened expressions best portrayed them.

However, these people were lucky because they did not get lost, let alone lose their lives.

53

The sun gradually sets, and today's wait is over.

Su Yun took the children away and continued to wait the next day.

Just like that, he stayed on the throne for seven whole days. Every day, someone escaped from the maze with their life, but fewer and fewer people were able to escape. The smell of blood brought by the sea breeze as it blew through the maze became stronger and stronger.

People don't know what will happen to those who can't get out, but Su Yun knows it clearly. He can understand the situation in the maze at any time, but he would rather concentrate on reading the chronicle on his knees.

The eighth day has arrived.

When the sun rose high, a staggering figure appeared at the entrance of the maze again. This was a rare thing, after all, only one person escaped on the seventh day, and he crawled out.

Su Yun looked curiously and found that it was someone he knew.

The monarch of Anatol actually risked his life and entered the labyrinth himself. All his guards died, and he himself lost a hand. He was covered in blood, and there were even pieces of flesh on his crude armor.

But in Thutmose's only remaining right hand, he held a bright and juicy rose.

That was the rose watered with Jasmine's blood and blessed by Anita's kiss - Thutmose did not die, so he gained eternal life.

The priest was not with him, perhaps dead?

Su Yun paused while turning the pages of the book... The power he bestowed should be able to resist the malice of Rose, so how could the priest die?

The victorious warrior appeared, and the crowd burst into an uproar. Even Jasmine on the platform exclaimed in admiration: "This human... is truly extraordinary."

Jasmine could actually make such an evaluation of a human being.

The king of Anatol walked amidst the rain of flowers and cheers. Holding a rose in his hand, he walked slowly to the foot of the platform. He looked up at the man in black robes and slowly knelt down.

He raised the rose: "Please allow me to present it to you."

This is a scene that can be painted, and it must be painted in rich colors - on a towering red gold platform sits an uncrowned king in black, and on the white stone paved ground is a golden crown with a broken arm.

Warrior, the crimson roses blossomed in his hands, and crimson flower rain fell in disorder.

The crowd was in an uproar again. Jasmine's lazy smile froze on her face. Theresa, who was flipping through the holy book, raised her head, while Alice looked down at this human with a cruel calmness on her face.

Su Yun looked at him quietly, closed the chronicle on his knees, and asked, "Where is the priest?"

"He is dead," Thutmose narrated coldly. "After leaving your ship, he committed suicide."

"I once did not understand his stubbornness, but now I am one with him." He continued, "I beg to follow you."

Su Yun was silent for a moment. Finally, he stood up and made a promise: "I will accept your rose and fulfill your request. As for the priest, he will not die here."

54

God the Father agreed to a human being's request, which had never happened before.

Jasmine lowered her eyes and looked at the rose that he had watered with his blood. The smile on her face had completely disappeared.

This human being is too outrageous.

Since you have obtained the rose of eternal life, why not just live quietly? Why do you still show up? Why do you still want to be smart and offer flowers?

And looking at his appearance...has the master ever seen him before?

Jasmine gave his brothers some of his attention: Theresa was still as quiet as ever, but this time even Alice was silent.

Jasmine was a little surprised at his silence, but of course he knew it wasn't because Alice wasn't jealous.

After all, ever since the second creation appeared in this world, his good brother will forever be trapped in the hell of jealousy.

To creations like them, humans were just numbers. Alice usually didn't take humans seriously, but this time his silence showed that he cared.

This human being is different. In Alice's heart, he is already worthy of being erased.

What's even more surprising is that Theresa also cares about him.

The quiet priest lowered his eyes, looking gentle and kind, if he hadn't concealed the scales on his palms.

The smile returned to Jasmine's face, and he smiled slightly, looking down at the monarch with a broken arm.

What happened before he woke up? Who was this king of Anatol? Who was the priest he mentioned who had received the promise from the Father?

Don't worry, he will figure it out slowly.

Jasmine thought of his ship—the only time he had been away from it was that one day and one night a few days ago.

Again

After all, they are just human beings. The best destiny of human beings is to become servants of God.

55

Su Yun accepted the rose.

These are things that should not appear in the human world. Although he has no responsibility to recycle them, if a human being returns the flowers to him, why wouldn't he take them?

The rose was scarlet, with no thorns on its slender stems, and its soft, green leaves were fresh and lovely, as if they could drip water. When Su Yun held the rose branch, the leaves naturally wrapped around his fingers, full of love, gentleness and pity.

Okay, that's very Anita.

Su Yun took Rose and left the square in front of the maze. Rose had been taken away, and those pitiful immortal creatures in the maze would turn into dust and soil, so there was no need to stand in the maze here anymore.

The blazing sun had long since fallen below the horizon, and there was no moon to be seen in the sky that night.

The king of Anato followed Su Yun silently, and they finally stopped at the port on the seashore of Creon Island. Here, they could directly see the huge black ship in the distance.

Su Yun turned around and asked, "That priest died here?"

The emperor of the world knelt at his feet and gave him an affirmative answer.

"Is that so..." Su Yun turned and looked at the sea. He picked up a petal casually. The scarlet petal turned into a red mist in his hand and instantly spread over the entire sea.

This was the first time that Su Yun traced back souls in this world and selected out the blessed dead soul.

Countless bright little spots of light floated up from the sea. They were all the souls that died here. There were too many such souls in this vast land, like a settled galaxy. The tranquil ocean reflected the stars on earth and blurred the boundary between the sea and the sky.

These points of light will rise silently and eventually float to the sky. The final destination of all souls is the divine palace.

Thutmose looked at the scene in shock. He could vaguely feel the power of these spots of light, which once intertwined everything on this land.

And that man stood at the end of this galaxy, he lowered his silver eyes and stretched out his hands to fiddle with the souls of all things.

The author has something to say: Muah!
