That is indeed Rustan's favorite song. In the song, it describes the story of a knight who, after going through countless hardships, finally kept his promise and rescued the princess.

"No, I want to listen to another song..." Li Xingshan shook his head and said, "Dance of Burning Embers."

"That song?" Rosalyn seemed a little surprised.

Because "Dance of Burning Ashes" is not a happy song, the protagonist of the story is a girl who burns herself because of the collapse of her ideals, turns into a witch, and finally burns everything to ashes.

And this is Li Xingshan's favorite song.

Maybe it's because the girl in the song, like herself, experienced the same despair and pain, and eventually became an existence that was not understood by the world.

Although it felt a little strange, Rosalind did not reject Li Xingshan's request. Soon, she sang the song "Dance of Burning Embers".

That passionate and solemn melody seemed to make Li Xingshan return to the summer when he first met Rosalyn, making the already cold blood in his body boil again.

"Sing! Sing! Rosalyn, keep singing!"

"I...I know..."

Even though there was a trace of pain in the song, Rosalind continued to sing the song.

This kind of request is indeed very strange, but if it is Rustan's request, she still has no idea of ​​rejecting it.

As long as my husband can be happy, then everything is worth it.

The budding flower finally blooms for the destined person. The intermittent singing gradually changed from pain to happiness.

...

When the dust settled, the newlyweds enjoyed the calm after the storm.

"Sorry..." Li Xingshan's face was full of apology: "I just seemed to have made an excessive request."

"I don't think it's too much," Rosalyn shook her head and said softly, "I'm willing to do anything as long as it makes you happy."

This sentence made Li Xingshan's heart become mixed.

This kind of feeling is very strange. The person Rosalyn likes is indeed "myself", but it is not herself.

"By the way..." Li Xingshan suddenly asked, like a ghost, "Do you still remember that man named Li Xingshan?"

"Li Xingshan?" Rosalind's expression changed slightly when she heard the name, but she still nodded and said, "I know that he used to be a famous doctor in Mond. Like me, he went to Xumi Religion Institute to study. It's a pity...he went the wrong way and ruined his life."

"So, is that so?" Li Xingshan's face showed a wry smile: "You must hate that guy?"

Who knows, Rosalind shook her head and said: "I... I don't hate him, although he took a crooked path, but maybe, his purpose is good. Medicine is a cruel science, it always It has to be built on countless corpses to keep moving forward. Eh? You...why are you crying?"

That's right, before he knew it, tears had already slipped out of Li Xingshan's eyes.

It turns out that the self who has not been understood by the world for a long time has been recognized by Rosalind?

what a kind girl...

What a simple girl.

"No...nothing!" Li Xingshan quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm just... so happy to be married to you, I'm so... so happy, that's why I couldn't help crying. ...I'm so scared, I'm going to lose you..."

"Do not worry…"

Rosalyn gave Li Xingshan a warm hug: "I will always watch you, forever."

[Somatosensory mode ends, convert to text mode]

"Huh..." Li Xingshan, who had left the somatosensory mode, let out a long sigh of relief.

【Are you crying? 】

"I didn't cry!" Li Xingshan said in his mouth, but he was surprised to find that his cheeks were already filled with tears.

[32 years old: Elendrin, the expedition, led the West Wind Knights to return in triumph. He is Rustan's best friend, and while he was very sorry for missing your wedding, he sent you the most sincere wishes]

[Everything seems to be slowly starting to get on the right track. Although you have lost your proud swordsmanship, no one can match your prestige in Mond City. Elendrin even wanted to elect you to be the leader of the West Wind Knights, but you still declined. You continued to serve as the deputy leader and worked hard for Mond]

[33 years old: Your job is not easy. If the lion of light Elendrin is the "light" of the West Wind Knights, then you are the "shadow" of the West Wind Knights. In order to maintain this city, you Had to do some shady things. Of course, you, who have lost your martial arts, cannot carry out these tasks, so you train only a personal team of knights. No one knows their existence, even Elendrin only knows the name of this team—the undead]

[Yes, they are knights you made out of corpses and only work for you. Although this approach is somewhat evil, all of this is to protect Mond and is a "necessary evil". Of course, on the other hand, it is because you have never given up your research on "medicine"]

[After getting Rosalyn, you seem to have lost your goal for a while. After becoming the deputy head of the West Wind Knights, you have obtained higher authority to do what you want to do, and "undead" is the only way for you to realize your dreams]

Volume 1 Pale Fire: 036 The Most Perfect Work

[34 years old: Your technique of resurrecting corpses is getting more and more sophisticated, but there are still huge flaws. Those "undead" can master all the combat skills in their lifetime, but there is no room for improvement, because they have no ideas and cannot grow in actual combat and training. That is to say, unless you find the corpses of powerful enough warriors, your undead army will not be able to become the top combat power after all]

【Non-stop research puts pressure on your body and mind. Fortunately, your wife Rosalind, she is so gentle and kind, so understanding, she will use her perfect singing voice and body to give you a moment of relief, you still haven't changed it, while listening to her singing, The quirk of communicating with her. But Rosalind still has no complaints. In the eyes of the Mond people, you are an omnipotent hero, but in Rosalind's eyes, you are just a tired husband. She will meet all your requirements, no matter these requirements. , how "weird"]

Of course, Rosalind's "tenderness", Li Xingshan can be said to have a deep understanding.

It's different from the feeling when communicating with Shen He. After all, Shen He was coerced by himself, so it was more or less like a show.

At least at the beginning, Li Xingshan could clearly feel Shen He's dislike and disgust for him.

But Rosalind is different. She has pure love for Li Xingshan...or the "Rustin" Li Xingshan disguised as, and all her "services" to Li Xingshan are from the heart. .

The biggest difference is that after each communication with Shen He, she will clean herself frantically, and then pack up and leave silently. To her, Li Xingshan was like a guest who had finished spending.

And Rosalyn is different, after all is well. He could throw himself into Rosalyn's arms unsuspectingly and spend a good night wrapped in tenderness and love.

If he hadn't known the plot behind, Li Xingshan would not have believed that Rosalind, who was such a gentle guest, would become that tyrannical and tyrannical foolish executive "lady" in the future.

[35 years old: A west wind knight named "Roland" suddenly came to visit. It turned out that he was a direct disciple of Rustan. He learned about your experience over the years and felt very sorry for your loss of power]

[However, Roland still hopes to discuss swordsmanship with you. He firmly believes that even if his master Rustan loses his skills, his knowledge of swordsmanship cannot be forgotten. Naturally, you don't know anything about the so-called swordsmanship. In order not to reveal your secrets in front of Roland, you found a reason to take him away]

[However, Roland's words remind you that if you want to make the most powerful undead warrior, you must use the most perfect materials. So, on the pretext of carrying out your mission, you led your troops to Longji Snow Mountain, and secretly dug up Rustan's body, which was buried by you. you use]

[You brought Rustan's body back to your laboratory, and looked at this former friend, but your heart did not waver. With your incomparable skill, Rustan's corpse was finally transformed into the most perfect undead warrior by you. His swordsmanship is as fierce as before his death, and most importantly, he only obeys your orders.]

[You have prepared a special set of armor for Rustan and covered his **** face with an iron mask. He is your most perfect work, you ordered him to hide in the dark to protect himself]

[And in the dead of night, you let your most loyal guards guard outside your room with Rosalind. When you think that "Rustin" might be able to hear your voice, you become very excited]

"Enter...somatosensory mode."

【how? I can't stand it anymore]

"I want to see how excited I can be."

【It has been converted to somatosensory mode! 】

Under the bean-like light, Rosalind's beautiful smile did not seem to have any wear and tear due to the passage of time.

"Rustin..." Rosalind said softly while wiping the sweat for Li Xingshan, "You seem to be different today than before."

Indeed, no singing, no other request, just a simple... request.

"Yes, call my name."

"Lu... Rustan!" Rosalynn tried to raise the volume.

There was something strange in the woman's heart. In the past, her husband didn't seem to like calling him by his name, but today, he made such a request. However, this request is quite normal.

There seemed to be a figure outside the house, trembling slightly.

"What is that?" Rosalind asked with some fear. "There seems to be a figure outside the window."

For some reason, the figure seemed to make Rosalyn feel a little familiar.

"You read it wrong," Li Xingshan smiled and said, "That might just be the shadow of the big tree. I am the deputy head of the West Wind Knights, who would dare to sneak into my mansion?"

In fact, it is not that no one has sneaked in here. After all, Li Xingshan, who exists as a "shadow", has offended many people in order to maintain the stability and development of Mond.

Many people want his head, but those who dare to sneak into the deputy commander's mansion have become ghosts of the undead army... and new "materials".

"Honey…"

Crystal sweat, in the dim yellow light, shone with a faint light: "I want a gift."

"What... what gift?"

Li Xingshan's battle was about to enter the final stage.

"A child," Rosalyn closed her eyes: "Our child."

"I'll give it to you, all... I'll give it to you."

In the dead of night, the lights are dimmed, and there is no sound.

Only the tall knight in armor, like a tree, stood outside the door of the room, and the eyes under the iron mask seemed to emit a faint cold light.

[35 years old: With your unremitting efforts, Rosalind became pregnant, and the expectation of a new life has temporarily relieved you from the heavy work. You decide that after the baby is born, you will no longer do research on resurrecting corpses. How can you hug a newborn baby with a hand that has touched a corpse? 】

[However, when bad luck came, Rosalind actually had a miscarriage. Even if you are one of the best medical skills in the entire Mond, or even the entire Tivat Continent, you can’t figure out the reason for Rosalind’s miscarriage. You comfort Rosalyn, it's okay, it's just an accident, children... there will always be]

Volume 1 Pale Fire: The 037 Judgment

[Although Rosalind's mood is very low, but under your gentle comfort and care, she has recovered her mood]

[On the other hand, after the collapse of the Kingdom of Kanria, many monsters began to emerge in all parts of Tivat, especially the Qiuqiu people, and their number increased almost exponentially. Outside the city of Mond, there are often monsters roaming. In order to save the crisis of Mond, you have to devote more energy to the manufacture and development of undead warriors]

[Yes, although you are not the real Rustan, after so many years of acting and disguising, you have even begun to think that you are Rustan himself. Even Rustan's wish to protect Mond became your wish. Although your means are not clean and absolutely cannot be discovered, your purpose is indeed to save Mond. As long as the goal can be achieved and not understood, what does it matter? 】

[At least, Rosalind, she must understand herself, as long as she understands herself alone, it is enough]

[36 years old: Your research has finally made progress. You found that Rustan's strength is actually improving and improving. This shows that your undead warrior has the possibility of continuing to evolve]

[You find that there is a tingling sensation in your face from time to time. Although this feeling existed a long time ago, recently, the frequency of pain seems to have increased a lot. However, you didn't pay attention to this matter. For you now, this kind of minor surgery is very easy.]

[37 years old: Rosalind is pregnant again. In order to avoid the previous situation from happening again, this time, you temporarily resigned from the affairs of the deputy head and took care of Rosalind at home. You have created countless "lives", but the little creature in Rosalind's womb is your greatest masterpiece]

[As one of the greatest medical scientists of all time, you have virtually ruled out any possibility of harming Rosalyn. But even so, you still haven't escaped the joke of fate - Rosalyn has miscarried again, without warning, and without any reason, the baby is stillborn, looking at the poor little group of dead babies, that The deformed appearance is like those twisted corpses you have come into contact with]

[Suddenly, you seem to have found a clue. You return to the cold and cold cellar that you haven’t set foot in for nearly ten years. There, your former enemy is “weird”, still in a jar with nutrient solution, accepting that you can’t die, begging The great torment that cannot die]

[At this time, his body has been shriveled like a mummified corpse. You used the pre-prepared medicine to restore the strange doctor to consciousness. However, after such a long torment, he has already left him like a corpse, as if he had already lost the human body. emotion】

[You ask the strange doctor why your wife keeps miscarriage, and he tells you that unless he is relieved, he will not tell you the answer. You broke the jar as a petri dish, and the smell of rancidity immediately filled the entire room, and he who lost his sustenance will die completely in a short time]

[The strange doctor also kept his promise. He told you that resurrecting a corpse is a blasphemous act, so you will be cursed by the gods, and it is impossible to have offspring in this life. You don't want to believe this fact, however, the strange doctor used his last strength and turned into a pool of pus and blood in the laughter of you]

[38 years old: Because of two miscarriages, Rosalind suffered a huge blow, and she was unhappy every day. You found a wrinkle in the corner of her eye, and you found that she finally began to age]

[The tingling sensation on the cheek is starting to become more and more obvious. You have tried many methods to suppress this pain, but to no avail. Until one day, black blood flowed out of the wound on your cheek]

[You took this kind of blood for analysis and testing, but you were surprised to find that it was actually the poisonous blood of the venomous dragon Dulin. You guessed that Rustan had already been poisoned by Dulin's poisonous blood during the battle with Dulin. pollution, and he transplanted his face, so he was also affected. Even if he had undergone strict disinfection at the beginning, the remaining trace of Durin's blood gradually spread over time and began to eat away at your body]

[But I don't know why, this toxin has never been able to kill you ("The End of Life" talent is activated), but the intense pain is tormenting you every day]

Did the talent of [End of Life] actually work at such a time?

That's right, the blood of Doolin, strictly speaking, is a toxin or a disease, so it cannot kill oneself!

[39 years old: The monsters outside the city of Mond are getting more and more rampant, but the number of west wind knights who can enter the battlefield is decreasing. One day, the monsters attacked the city gate again. In order to protect Mond's last line of defense, you had to let the undead army, which has been in the dark, set foot on the frontal battlefield for the first time]

[During your continuous research, the strength of the undead legion is also constantly improving. After a fierce battle, the monsters were finally strangled. Your most outstanding work "Rustan" is even more killing. There are countless enemies, and even the armor is stained red with blood. And you, the commander of the undead army, have once again become a hero of Mond]

[However, the fierce battle made Rustan's corpse seem to be stimulated. I saw him suddenly waving his long sword and starting to attack the West Wind Knights. Roland quickly raised his long sword and began to resist Rustan's attack. attack. Finally, after your comfort, Rustan regained his calm again]

[However, Roland accidentally smashed Rustan's mask. He pointed to Rustan, who was covered in armor and was beyond recognition, and said in an unbelievable tone: "This person... is the real Rustan!"]

[Roland's words shocked everyone. You and your undead army have to be investigated. After all, flames are difficult to be wrapped in paper. Soon, the fact that you used the corpses of warriors and adventurers to create humanoid weapons was made public. More importantly, after a series of interrogations, your true identity was finally discovered by Elendrin]

[You have to accept the highest-level trial of Mond. Above the trial court, you excitedly told everyone that you did deceive them, but everything you have done over the years is to protect Mond and his people. , Without the undead army you created, Mond would have been destroyed and occupied by tyrannical monsters long ago, and no one has the right to approve you! 】

Volume 1 Pale Fire: 038 Li Xingshan's Determination

[Your words made the Mond people in the audience fall into silence for a while. Indeed, what you have done is undoubtedly a blasphemy to the gods. However, everything you have done over the years is indeed for the city. Without your army of undead, perhaps the city of Mond cannot be resisted. The monster that lived not long ago was sieging the city]

[However, when everyone was silent, Roland, Rustan's disciple, stood up again. He reprimanded you with righteous indignation. He thought that you framed Rustan, let him die in the Longji Snow Mountain, and stole his identity. Not only that, you even transformed the hero's corpse into a dirty Dirty killing machine, everything you are doing now, if the real Rustan hadn't died, could have done the same]

[Roland's words made everyone boil again, yes, what they need is just a reason to execute you]

[A rancid egg was thrown up from the audience and smashed **** your face. The stench fills your nostrils. In a trance, you seem to have heard a sentence - "Mond has It's safe, you can die!"]

[Ironically, those who abused, humiliated, and scolded you seemed to be the same group of people who respected, worshipped, and believed in you not long ago]

[Stones and rotten vegetable leaves are constantly being thrown at you from under the judgment stand. If it was before, this kind of behavior would definitely be stopped by the judges on the spot, but today, no one stops them, it seems that everyone is right Your brutality is an act of incomparable justice]

[The black blood wets your sight. You suddenly feel that you are ridiculous, if you did not continue to be the deputy head of the West Wind Knights, did not continue to study undead creatures, but spent the rest of your life with Rosalind in peace, maybe none of this would have happened]

[And now, those who you have tried your best to protect, see you as a mortal enemy, an ugly and twisted monster, a sinner of countless books, you have lost the value of your last existence, and you have shot down the good work of flying birds. Hidden in the snow, the loyal dog that caught the cunning rabbit was cooked. The Monde people who have just experienced ordeal need a carnival—that is to cut off your head]

[Your "best friend" Elendrin, the Lion of Light, directly announced your trial, and Roland, one of Rustan's former disciples, will show your head to the public. Facing the blood-stained black blade in Roland's hand, and facing the abuse and denunciation of countless Mond people, your choice is... 】

[1. Accept death]

[2. Resist death]

This time, even the always good-tempered Li Xingshan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
