Chapter 35: Choices Before Leaving(1/2)
"Stop calling me king!"
Zhou Ze yelled at Luke.
Unexpectedly, Luke was still very happy, "The king used to be like this. It seems that you really are the king."
A black line was drawn on Zhou Ze's forehead.
"Wang, over the years, our Lu family has been waiting here for generations, hoping to bring you back one day."
Luke said, his voice became more swallowed, and his eyes were already a little wet.
"Generations?"
Seeing Luke speaking so passionately, Zhou Ze didn't know what to say for a moment.
From Luke's mouth, Zhou Ze learned the story of the Lu family.
This time, he could no longer be cruel to Luke, but instead felt a little sad.
After the king of the ancient capital disappeared thousands of years ago, he handed over the important task of protecting the ancient capital to the Lu family.
Back then, there was a time when the ancient capital could leave. Most of the people fled, but only the Lu family stayed.
They stay here because they have their mission and they have no way to leave.
Over the years, everyone in the Lu family stayed in the ancient city until their death.
Luke, of course, is such a person.
His parents left just to fight the storm.
When it came to him, he felt uncomfortable and felt it was unfair, why were only the Lu family members sacrificed.
Later, Luke thought of a way to sacrifice, hoping to completely end the Lu family's fate.
After so many years of sacrificing, it still had no use, but this changed Luke's heart.
He couldn't bear it when he saw the sad expressions on those people's faces because they had lost their daughters.
But once the sacrifice begins, there is no way it can end.
"Fortunately, you are here."
Luke took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
"King, if you want to leave, please take all those people out."
At this time, Luke no longer looked as fierce as before.
Zhou Ze was stunned for a long time.
"Why don't you leave?"
A bitter smile appeared on Luke's face.
leave?
It doesn't exist for him.
"The roots of our Lu family are here." Luke, "No matter what, I have to die here."
"What happens after you die here?"
Zhou Ze asked back, "Are you going to let your Lu family become extinct?"
"If you ask me, you guys from the Lu family are really stupid."
"Just because of the king's words, you will stay in this miserable place for generations, for hundreds or even thousands of years? Is it worth it?"
"I really want to leave, you come with me."
Zhou Ze believes that Luke should also start a new life.
After all, this ancient capital is no longer the ancient capital of Storms.
The Lu family has finally completed its mission and has no choice but to stay in this place.
After listening to Zhou Ze's words, Luke's heart was shocked.
What Zhou Ze said was not something Luke had never thought about before, but he didn't have the courage.
"how?"
"good."
Luke's voice became more choked and his body was shaking slightly, "I'll go out with you."
Leave the storm, leave the ancient capital, and start a new life.
…
After learning that Zhou Ze was taking everyone away from the ancient capital, everyone was excited at first.
After the excitement, there was endless melancholy and panic.
"Do you really want to go out?"
"What is outside this ancient capital?"
"Can people like us without cultivation survive outside?"
One worry after another pops up in their minds, making them feel uneasy.
"Otherwise, I'd better stay here."
Since there is no storm, this can be regarded as a safe place.
"I also!"
"I'll stay too. Anyway, this is my life."
Some people who had already packed their things were affected by them, and they also had some drumming in their hearts.
Do you really want to leave?
"Have everything been packed?"
Luke asked everyone with a smile.
Everyone remained silent.
"I know you are reluctant to leave here. It doesn't matter. We can come here to have a look again in the future."
Luke comforted him.
The scene was still silent.
This made Luke very confused. He tilted his head and glanced at the brothers, and then at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze said he didn't know much either.
"king."
An old man stood up and said, "Most of the people here have been here since they were born."
"We have never seen the outside world, and we don't know what it is like or whether there are sufferings like storms."
"I think we can't bear the unknown suffering again."
They have neither courage nor strength.
After the storm, this became their last refuge.
"Yes, after we went out, there was nothing." A middle-aged woman agreed, "Maybe we were killed by some practitioners."
"It's better to stay here, this is our life."
Everyone spoke one after another.
"you……"
Zhou Ze fell into deep thought.
He had never considered this issue.
Ever since he traveled to this world, he has never worried that he would be bullied or that he would die.
Instead, he looked for bullying everywhere.
As a result, the people who were really bullied were ignored...
Could it be that this is the life of people on the other side of the world?
Zhou Ze's eyes moved to the faces of the people one by one.
Unlike those practitioners, their faces are full of traces of life.
Zhou Ze was deeply touched, and for a moment, he didn't even know what to say.
"I'll stay too."
Luke sighed softly.
"Maybe they are right, this is our home."
