C177 Hopefully Drunk Won't Wake Up(2)
Natalya said, "Don't you want to wake up? Living for a few hundred years is tiring, but this world still needs you. Come with me to Kurast. There are some troublesome things there too."
After an unknown period of time, Uma's voice sounded, "Zhang Loong, you never give up in any desperate situation. It is your persistence that allowed us to live. You really let yourself sleep like this. Don't you want to wake up again? I don't know what you have to worry about, what you encountered underground... But I don't think you should be someone who would run away from yourself. There are too many things in this world that aren't good, but people still have to live on in your current situation. Do you want me to bring this kind of news back to the south to give to Marina? "
I have been sleeping for hundreds of years. I am too tired. Why should I wake up? Whether I die or not, sleeping makes me forget everything. Isn't this the best place for me to return to?
"Marina's equipment is so perfect. Don't you want to see Marina wear them? Although you are unwilling to admit it, I know that you actually like Marina very much. Marina said that your heart is very strong. But I feel that your heart seems to have broken. You rejected Marina because of Talitha. Is it because of Talitha now? Have you also started to reject yourself? Talitha is so charming that you can't let go of her even after hundreds of years? I can't say that you are not a man, but this time... You are really weak..."
Uma can understand my thoughts? Why did you mention Talitha in front of me? Uma, can't you let me sleep peacefully for a long time? You have only lived for thirty to forty years, and I have already lived for nearly three hundred years. How do you know my exhaustion?
Hiss! I feel a pain on the back of my hand, and blood drips out.
Uma? What was Uma doing? She was cutting the back of my hand. Trying to wake me up with pain?
Uma grabbed my left hand and gently smeared something on the wound. At first, it felt a little cool, but it gradually heated up until the pain was unbearable. The feeling of pain became stronger and stronger, and there were no signs of it weakening. The back of my hand felt like it was going to burn through.
"Zhang Loong, how about this? Where do you want to go? To Arreat? To Lut Gholein? Or follow me to the south to see Marina? I will bring you there. Uma continues to talk to me, trying to wake me up.
Where to? Where do I want to go the most now? Should I stay in City of Light? No, I don't want to stay here. This is the place where my dreams are shattered. I want to return to Rogge. That is my second hometown. I have spent the happiest time of my life there. Rogge, Rogge. Let me gather at that strange place. But there is no political dark cloud in that place. Let me leave everything behind for the rest of my life. I'll focus on being a blacksmith.
"Aiyo!" I really can't sleep anymore. I sat up and continuously shook my left hand, hoping to reduce some of the pain.
"Are you finally willing to wake up?" Uma was very happy, because I finally regained consciousness.
"Uma, do you have to be so cruel as to disturb my sleep?" I can't help but get angry. Why is Uma's temper so similar to Marina's?
Uma smiled and said, "You have already slept for half a month and you are still unwilling to wake up. Then what can I do?"
Looking at Uma's mischievous smile, I was stunned, "Uma, bring those equipment back to Marina. I want to do something that I like." As I spoke, I got up.
Uma picked up my left hand again. I vigilantly swung my hand and angrily said, "Again?"
Uma smiled and said, "If that corrosive poison doesn't work, your hand will rot." As she spoke, she wiped the back of my hand. "Those equipment are not finished yet. You can leave it to Marina in the future. You will be fine when you wake up. I also need to rush back to the south. "
I was lost in thought for a while. Uma is the clan head. She actually wasted so much time here for my sleep. It is time to go back. I have to personally pass those equipment to Marina. Could it be that Uma is hinting that I can meet Marina?
I did not reject anymore. I thought that perhaps one day I can really complete the final steps of the armor for Marina. Because from now on, I will be a full-time blacksmith, and I will have time.
The pain on the back of my hand slowly stopped. When I saw that a large part of my skin had been burnt, I felt a little annoyed. Uma, as the head of the family, why is she also as naughty as Marina?
"Uma, then let's part ways here and say hello to Marina for me. Don't tell others that I have already woken up. I don't want to alarm them."
Uma sighed and said, "That's fine too. I will not force you to follow me back to the south. I just want to ask, okay? Is there anything else you want to say to Marina?"
I was silent for a while before I finally shook my head.
Uma sighed and hesitated before finally leaving my room.
At this time, the sky was getting colder. I put on a thicker set of clothes and started to pack my belongings. After tidying up Marina's equipment, I brought along the last piece of unforged material.
The farewell scene always makes me uncomfortable. Furthermore, I don't want to care about the matters outside my body when I go to Rogge, so I didn't say goodbye to anyone. I covered my head and left City of Light under the cover of the night.
