Chapter 387 The End of Raven
What is the meaning of life?
It seems like these meaningless words are just a fuss for the mediocre people, and they keep appearing in many books. In the books that Byrne has read in his life, many great historical figures and wise men have thought about this common yet complex problem.
All scholars have questions, and Byrne is no exception.
So after reading a lot of books, he couldn't help but think about it in the dead of night: what is the meaning of life?
But gradually he realized that perhaps the answer to this question could not be found through thinking, but only through experience over a long period of time.
“…”
Byrne on the bed seemed to have suddenly regained his strength and calmly got up from the bed. He quietly came out of the room through "instant transfer".
Arriving at the Fisher Manor, Byrne saw young Hecate, Delia, and Art playing on the lawn. Although the three children were still very young, they would definitely be the backbone of the Fisher family in the future.
Hecate looked at him strangely, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Byrne felt that he had completely recovered his strength, so he continued to walk outside. He met many people along the way, but those people did not look at him or even pay attention to him.
Darren was arguing with Christine in a wheelchair with a frown on his face. He didn't mind letting someone else be the head of the Fisher family, but he still didn't want to compromise on certain future development policies for the family. Christine's husband Andre wanted to stop it, but in the end he said nothing.
Byrne did not intervene, knowing that even if there were some areas that needed to be adjusted, they would definitely be able to overcome those obstacles.
In the garden of Fisher Manor, Helen, who had been in a depressed state, finally came out of the room. She tried her best to comfort the sad spiritual dragon and decided to take over its care from then on.
He came to the magnificent hall in the basement of Fisher Manor and saw the thin Archer accepting greetings from Yag and others. The boy responded reluctantly one by one.
Yager looked very happy. It was obvious that the awakening of the Lost Lord was great news to him! The long steps to the gods, which had not made any progress for a long time, could finally go higher!
Moore's expression was full of pain. The death of his two brothers was too much for him to bear. The expressions of the other people were different. Byrne looked at them one by one, but soon found that no one was looking at him.
After leaving Fisher Manor and arriving in Nasir City, many citizens had heard rumors that he was in poor health and was resting, so they spontaneously prayed for him, hoping that Lord Byrne would get better.
He slowly walked past the people praying for him and soon met Felix.
Felix was responsible for helping everyone rebuild the city. His eyes were full of responsibility, and from time to time he would look back in the direction of Fisher Manor with a rather sad expression.
Before he knew it, Byrne had arrived at the edge of Nasir City and saw a man standing in a secluded corner holding a package in one hand.
That was Kano wearing a monocle. He looked towards the direction of Fisher Manor with reluctance, but finally decided to embark on a journey alone.
Chris and Vanessa were relaxing in the suburbs. The elderly Vanessa talked a lot about her children, while Chris remained silent and listened very carefully.
Although Chris never said anything, Byrne and Vanessa were the only two people who could see that even though he seemed emotionless, he was actually very tired and sad because of the departure of his relatives and friends.
In a moment, Byrne returned to Fisher Manor and suddenly saw Hecate holding a ball in the garden. The little girl known as the "Daughter of Devil" looked at him and stared for a long time.
"What are you looking at, Hecate?"
She finally couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle, what are you doing here?"
"I?"
Byrne suddenly woke up from his bed, and heard the sound of insects in the night.
It was already very late, and the night was quiet and deep.
He suddenly realized that he had not left the room from the beginning, but was sleeping soundly on the bed, and everything that had just happened was just a dream.
Is it just a dream?
Byrne looked out the window calmly. The night gently spread out its deep and tranquil canvas. The moonlight was like a wash, and the silver light was scattered, covering everything with a soft and mysterious veil. The stars were like pearls inadvertently scattered by the universe, twinkling on the dark sky.
The breeze gently blows through the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness and tranquility, and the leaves make rustling whispers, as if it is a nocturne that calms the soul.
"I didn't eat anything at night. I suddenly regretted it. I didn't expect that I was actually a little hungry."
"How long has it been since I felt hungry? I really want to eat the roast pork from Black Mountain Town and the beef soup from Finn's old shop..."
“…”
Occasionally, one or two night birds chirp in the distance outside the window, clear and distant.
"I can't sleep."
Lying on the bed, he slowly closed his eyes and began to recall calmly. Because of his "deep memory", most of the past events in his life became extremely clear and visible.
Sometimes, Byrne even regards "deep memories" as a curse because those painful moments linger for a long time.
But he also understood that "deep memory" would preserve the moment of happiness forever, so it was not only a curse but also an important blessing.
Immersed in quiet memories, Byrne saw Lillian, who had left not long ago, in the night.
"I'll be there soon, Lillian," he whispered to his daughter.
Soon, Byrne saw Best in his memory again. The smiling man was still full of mystery and danger, and had a temperament that made him want to get closer.
But just as Byrne was about to speak, he discovered that Best had disappeared out of thin air, as if he was not there.
He was silent for a while and continued to review his memory, and finally saw Irene.
"Erin... I've been very tired over the years, but I can finally be free and go to where you are."
"The Lost Lord is waiting for you."
Irene nodded slightly and disappeared immediately, and the person who reappeared was Margaret.
Byrne took a deep breath, walked forward and hugged his only love, and the two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time.
He was so sorry the whole time that the tears finally came down.
Sorry, Margaret.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Margaret's figure smiled and disappeared in the wind. Then Eric, whom he regarded as his adopted son, appeared. He just nodded calmly to Byrne and then disappeared.
Then he came to a green jungle and saw his father who had passed away decades ago in the warm breeze.
Lucius sat on the stone, quietly sharpening his sword, the blade gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
"Thank you, Byrne, for my revenge."
He looked up at his son and continued:
"You are doing better than I ever did, and you are stronger than I ever was. I have always loved you and I am proud of you."
"Although, I... have never been able to express it truly."
"I always knew it."
Byrne nodded slightly and continued, "It's not me who is powerful, it's everyone in the Fisher family, everyone in the Dawn Cult, it's Him..."
"Maybe. Anyway, you are the kind of person who would say that, haha."
Gradually, his father's figure disappeared, and he returned to a familiar yet unfamiliar study room. He could smell the stimulating scent of oil paintings, and his mother's gentle hands were placed on his shoulders behind his back.
The mother smiled and said softly, "Byrne, I hope you will become a painter in the future."
"But it doesn't matter if you're not a painter. In my heart, as long as you're happy, I'll be satisfied."
Byrne took a deep breath, turned his head calmly and looked at his gentle mother, and asked:
"Mom, what is the meaning of life?"
…
…
…
"Everything you see."
…
…
…
finally.
All the scenes disappeared.
In the completely pure white space, the old Byrne stood there with a very calm expression and his chest full of strength and courage. Not far in front of him was a transparent bottle and a huge black cross light suspended above it.
That black light looked hopeful.
He walked forward slowly, his footsteps echoing in the boundless white space.
Getting closer.
Reach out.
The moment he touched the black cross light, Byrne's old and weak body suddenly underwent a magical change! He became younger, full of youth and vitality! The pure white space around him also turned into a paradise in the forest. The fragrance of flowers and plants made people feel happy just by breathing, and all they could hear were laughter!
His steps became light and powerful, no longer staggering, but like a deer in early spring, leaping happily on the beautiful forest path!
Byrne completely turned back into the black-haired kid, with his important relatives standing in front of him.
The relatives looked at Byrne with a smile.
"I am coming."
So Byrne quickened his pace and walked towards where Lucius, his mother, Irene, Lillian and others were, with a happy smile on his face.
…
…
…
"Look..."
Darren and Christine stopped arguing, the children stopped playing, and Felix, Chris, Nasir, and many people in the city looked up at the same time.
They saw.
A raven flew across the sky.
