Chapter 111 Funeral?
Chapter 111 Funeral?
Neither Delos nor the Brown Wolf ministers have a good impression of Ronnie. Even though Eli is now extremely prosperous with his help, they will not forget that all this was obtained by Soros at the cost of everything he had.
There are only ten short decades left until the agreed two hundred years. When the time comes, Ronnie will take their king away from this world. They don't know what Soros' future will be like, but they sincerely hope that Soros can live a better life.
They cannot interfere with Soros's feelings for Ronnie, nor are they qualified to interfere. They only hope that when Soros and Ronnie really become partners, Ronnie will treat Soros well.
The two protagonists were unaware of everyone's thoughts. On this rare day, Soros wanted to let loose.
After taking a few bites of the food Ronnie had made, Soros called the waiter and asked for two bottles of wine.
Although the fruit wine produced in Elie was mellow and sweet, it was also very strong. Thoros, who had no idea about this, took the wine and drank a big sip directly from it before the waiter poured it.
As everyone had never thought that Soros would be so impulsive, they had no time to stop him. Soros's Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and then the wine spurted out. The splashing wine directly covered Ronnie's face, causing him to roll his eyes wildly.
After wiping his face roughly, Ronnie patted Soros' back gently to calm him down, while complaining.
"Really? If you've never drunk alcohol before, don't just take a big gulp."
"Ahem... I didn't expect this wine to be so spicy."
Soros felt better after a while, savoring the wine full of fruity fragrance in his mouth, and couldn't help looking at the bottle in his hand. He was not convinced and planned to try it again, but this time he just took a sip.
In an instant, the spiciness filled the mouth again. After swallowing, a line of hot fire reached the stomach from the throat, followed by a warm feeling, and then a fruity aroma similar to plum lingered on the tip of the tongue and the nose.
Recalling the aroma of the fruit wine, Soros' eyes lit up: "It tastes good."
"Even if it tastes good, you should drink less." Ronnie took the bottle from Soros and poured himself a glass.
Hearing this, Soros rolled his eyes and said, "I'm an adult, and you still don't allow me to drink."
Soros took the bottle back and took a sip.
Perhaps it was because he was not able to handle the alcohol, but after just a few sips, Soros felt hot all over and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He knew that this might be because he was drunk, but he felt fine and did not use magic to dispel the alcohol in his body.
Soros turned his head to look at the dragon beside him that had accompanied him for most of his life. His thoughts drifted to the day they first met. With his eyes blurred, he also recognized his own heart through his drunkenness.
As everyone was surprised and Ronnie was staring in confusion, Soros stood up and pulled Ronnie away.
"I want to drink with you alone"
"?"
The Brown Wolf ministers looked at each other and said uncertainly: "Your Majesty, are you... going to confess your feelings? Should we continue the banquet?"
Not to mention that they were in a dishevel in the wind, when Ronnie came to his senses, he had already been pulled back into the room by Soros.
Soros' cheeks were now flushed. After closing the door, he raised the bottle in his hand and took a big gulp.
Just when Ronnie wanted to say something, He interrupted him: "I don't want to hear nonsense. I have worked hard all my life, and today I want to indulge myself."
Seeing Soros in this state, Ronnie, who knew that he had too much on his shoulders, smiled and said, "Since you want to indulge yourself, I will indulge you today."
After that, Ronnie took out various kinds of wine from the space and drank with Soros.
Under the moonlight, the two drank and talked about the past, but Soros was the only one talking, while Ronnie acted as a qualified listener.
As he drank more, Soros's eyes became more blurred, and his emerald eyes sparkled in the moonlight, making him look even more beautiful.
"Ronnie, before I met you, I was the only one supporting Eli." Soros looked at the beautiful stars outside the window, his thoughts drifting to the past: "I tried my best at that time, studying hard while leading Eli forward in the era of endless war. Every time I gave an order, I had to be very cautious, for fear that a single order would lead Eli into the abyss of destruction. At that time, I had someone write the history of Eli, so that people many years later would know that there was such a country."
Soros has never shown his vulnerable side over the years. As the king of Eli, he will not and cannot show his vulnerable side. Only in front of Ronnie will he show his true self without scruples.
At this moment, He seemed like a living person, rather than the king that the people of Eli said would never make mistakes and would always lead Eli to become stronger.
Listening to His words, Ronnie held Him in his arms as he had done before.
Feeling Ronnie's embrace, which was as warm and safe as ever, Soros relaxed and smiled.
"Until you showed up, I finally had someone I could rely on." Soros raised his head and looked into Ronnie's blood-gold eyes: "I don't know how I feel about you, but as long as you are by my side, I will feel very safe. I don't understand affection or love, but I think this might be the feeling."
"You're drunk and you're talking nonsense."
As Ronnie said this, he was about to snatch the bottle from Soros' hand to stop him from drinking.
Just as Ronnie approached, Soros raised his head.
Ronnie was caught off guard and was kissed on the mouth by Soros.
When it comes to fighting or other things, Ronnie is very confident, but he has never experienced anything like love in his two lifetimes combined, and it was others who took the initiative.
Seeing Ronnie's confused look, Soros sat on his lap without giving him any chance, put his arms around his neck, and slowly uttered words with the aroma of fruit wine.
"Although I still have ten years left before I'm yours, I don't want to wait any longer."
There was no conversation that night. When Ronnie woke up in the morning, he looked at the delicate profile of Soros sleeping beside him. When he saw his teeth marks on his neck, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Fuck, I must have drunk too much last night."
When Ronnie was rubbing his brows and complaining dejectedly, Soros also woke up.
Feeling the pain in every part of his body and recalling what happened last night, he looked calm as he raised his head and looked at Ronnie.
"I took the initiative last night. You don't have to take it to heart. It's just a mutual benefit."
"That's not how you use mutual benefit."
Ronnie rubbed his brows and couldn't help but sigh deeply. He lay back on the bed, took Soros into his arms, and used holy light to heal His body.
"I will be responsible."
Hearing this, Soros looked surprised: "Given your personality, you don't seem like a dragon who would say such a thing."
Seeing His matter-of-fact expression, Ronnie's eyes twitched.
"I'm not a scumbag. Since you want to give your heart to me, I won't let you down."
Feeling Ronnie's warm embrace, Soros raised his head after a moment.
"So are we mates now?"
"Of course." Ronnie added, thinking of something, "I don't know much about love, so don't be disappointed."
"No." Soros rubbed his head against Ronnie's chest: "As long as I'm by your side, I'm satisfied."
Although they have confirmed their relationship, Ronnie and Soros are not like other young couples who spend the whole day together doing nothing. Instead, they maintain an indifferent attitude towards such things. They are still the same as before, and they only do some intimate actions occasionally.
When Delos found out that Soros and Ronnie really became partners, he couldn't help but ask questions.
"What's the difference between you two being together and before?"
Hearing this, Soros and Ronnie looked at each other and thought about this problem together.
Seeing this scene, Delos held his forehead with his hand, he already knew the result.
Soros has just become an adult and doesn't understand these things. As for Ronnie... you can't expect a fool to have a romantic date.
On this day, Ronnie was reading a book while Soros was sitting in his arms.
Ronnie suddenly remembered that Eli still had a sacred tree, and asked Soros.
Soros took Ronnie to a heavily guarded area behind the palace. After walking in, he pointed to a tall and lush tree in front of him.
"This is the sacred tree that has been protecting Eli."
Ronnie took a step forward and observed it carefully. This sacred tree was very tall, about a hundred meters. Its crown was dense, its branches were numerous, and its leaves were emerald green, like a green ocean. The most eye-catching thing was the thick trunk, which was engraved with mysterious symbols and patterns. These patterns were light golden and kept flowing, like jumping notes, mysterious and beautiful.
Around the sacred tree, there is a layer of soft green light floating, as beautiful as a dream. These lights seem to have life, they sway gently and echo with the sacred tree. The energy emitted by the light is not aggressive at all, but makes people who approach it feel a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, as if all troubles can be purified here.
"It is unknown how long the sacred tree has existed. It has been standing here since Eli began to keep records."
Soros looked at the sacred tree in front of him and explained to Ronnie.
He didn’t know much about it before, but after listening to Soros’ explanation, Ronnie also knew something.
The reason why Soros took over Eli's throne at such a young age was that he was not usurped by someone else.
Just because Soros and his family were all born from the sacred tree, and Eli exists because of the sacred tree, so Soros and his family must be the king of Eli.
No one else is allowed, nor worthy, to be Eli's king.
Ronnie placed his hand on the trunk, analyzing the essence of the sacred tree.
It was discovered that the Sacred Tree was a product of the natural birth of the world, similar to the World Tree, but not to the extent of the World Tree.
And for some unknown reason, this sacred tree did not evolve into the World Tree, but evolved into the Tree of Life, and gave birth to its own elves, namely the Eli royal family such as Soros.
However, this sacred tree has no wisdom, only simple judgment ability, and instinctively protects Eli.
When the derivatives of chaos came to this world, the sacred tree was unable to fight back due to the pollution of the power of chaos, and could only rely on its own strength to barely protect the people of Eli.
Now that the chaos derivatives have been destroyed, the sacred tree is gradually recovering.
When Ronnie was exploring the essence of the sacred tree, the sacred tree also instinctively sensed Ronnie.
Although he sensed that Ronnie was not a good person, he saved the world and saved Eli.
In return, a leaf of the sacred tree slowly fell into Ronnie's palm, turning into knowledge and merging into Ronnie's body.
Ronnie chuckled as he felt the additional knowledge about life emerging in his mind.
"Don't worry, since Soros and I have become partners, I will take good care of this little guy."
Soros didn't know what Ronnie was communicating with the sacred tree, so he didn't ask. Instead, he watched quietly. He believed that Ronnie would not harm the sacred tree.
The knowledge about life that the sacred tree provides is very advanced, and it brings together all the knowledge related to life in the world.
After Ronnie absorbed this knowledge, in the original world, deep in the isolation of the membrane, another pair of emerald green eyes quietly opened.
The owner of these eyes looked around and found that there was someone else who had also opened his eyes.
"I didn't expect that you would wake up before me."
Hearing this, the owner of the other pair of gray eyes chuckled.
"Who knows?" He looked into the distance, looking at the world within the film through the endless distance, and murmured: "I don't know how far our king has come now. If he is not worthy of being our king, then I will not show mercy."
"You are being disrespectful to the king."
Hearing these angry words, the owner of the gray eyes didn't care.
"I am not like you who represent life. I represent death and destruction. I do not need an incompetent king."
Hearing this, the owner of the emerald green eyes fell silent and did not respond.
Zooming in, we can see that along with these two, there are ten silent figures.
For Ronnie, life is back on track.
Time passed quickly, and there were only a few days left before the agreed time of two hundred years.
And Tilos and the others were becoming more and more depressed and reluctant.
Seeing this, Ronnie tilted his head and spoke out his own flash of inspiration.
"Soros and I will leave this world in two days. To you, it's no different from being dead. How about holding a funeral for him? This will also give the public an explanation."
Hearing this, Soros' eyes twitched and he was speechless.
Even after being together for ten years, He still doesn't understand Ronnie's way of thinking, which always goes astray and says some infuriating things.
As expected, upon hearing this, Telos and the Brown Wolf ministers glared at Ronnie, clenching and unclenching their hands. If they could not defeat him, they would have swarmed up and taught Ronnie a lesson.
Seeing that they seemed to be very resistant, Ronnie shrugged and didn't care.
"This is a good suggestion. It will give you a reason to vent. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to keep it in your heart."
That makes a lot of sense! Can I just punch him in the face like he deserves to be!
Delos roared inwardly, but in the end, with Soros' nod, he reluctantly agreed to the idea.
