Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens

It started raining outside the window at some point, and the cold rain attacked everything outside.

Trela ​​lay on the bed, feeling slight pain in the joints of her body, and also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is the norm for the elderly, even if she has never done any rough work.

Only time will not let you off just because you are powerful.

The door creaked and was slowly pushed open, and a slightly cool air mixed with moisture followed the footsteps and penetrated into the room.

Trela, who heard the movement, stood up and half leaned against the head of the bed, smiling.

"Are you back?"

"Yeah."

Luke walked to the bed, took off his coat, and sat blankly at the head of the bed.

After a closer look, Trela ​​realized that Luke was not right. Although it was not obvious on his face, people who have been together for a lifetime would not be confused by appearances.

"What happened? You look like a puppy who lost a fight."

"I didn't lose."

Luke replied sullenly, "I won."

After Mahat committed suicide, he lost control of his emotions and used all means to kill all the demons in the city.

The Corrupted Sage, the Bloody God of War, and the remaining Seven Collapse Sages and the Great Demons...

The door to the Demon King's throne was closed, and no matter what kind of attack magic he used, he couldn't shake it. Even with the future vision, he couldn't see that he could open this door within two hundred years.

Except for some scattered demons outside and the missing omniscient Shulahat, the only demon high-ranking official was the Demon King.

"But in my opinion, you just lost a battle. What did you do?"

"I eliminated all the great demons except the Demon King, but the goal was not achieved."

Luke looked out the window silently. The dark rainy night was as bad as his mood.

"When Amir joined the army, I felt that he was not suitable for joining the army. I felt that he was a naive idealist who did not know the cruelty of the battlefield and only thought about his future self and his future."

"But I would also think that if I joined the army or became an adventurer, I would definitely be able to destroy the demon king and return the world to peace."

Luke lowered his eyelids, and the low pressure on his body lingered for a long time.

"Excellent people are always a little arrogant, which is nothing, and you just completed a feat."

Treila comforted softly.

"No, I am more arrogant than you think."

Luke shook his head slowly, "I always thought that I was the protagonist, my birth must have a lofty mission, my future is bright, and I am an indispensable part of the world."

"Everything will make way for me, and those who block me will be destroyed. The problem is just a short test. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do. The great cause of the world is eager for me to complete it, and countless feats are waiting for me to sign."

"But now, I can't even let you live a little longer."

Hearing this news, Trela ​​not only did not feel frustrated and resentful, but relaxed a lot.

"You finally gave up, that's good."

She smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"I always felt that you were living less and less like yourself. You became more and more anxious and panicky. These emotions increased step by step as I got older. Now you can finally return to yourself."

Luke was speechless. The situation was indeed so that he could not refute it.

"Let's set off to return to Barum tomorrow morning. I miss home a little bit in the past few years." Trela ​​lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.

"We have been delayed for a long time. The remaining time cannot be wasted."

...

It took four years to get from Barum to Ede. Although they didn't need to stop to experience the scenery of various places on the way back, it would still take one or two years.

So before they left the northern countries, the two welcomed the long-lost half-century meteor shower that only occurs once every fifty years.

Luke, who had seen such scenes in the future vision and in Graosam's dream, didn't think it was beautiful, but Trela ​​beside him had tears in the corners of his eyes.

Fifty years passed like a dream. The wedding scene was still vivid in her mind. When she recalled it, it seemed as if she was still a girl in a wedding dress yesterday.

She couldn't help but hold Luke's hand. The skinny black hand and the clean and strong fingers of the elf, one black and one white, formed a sharp contrast.

She used to be anxious, irritable, and uneasy at a certain time, but now she is very calm, and even tightened her fingers, which attracted the elf's attention.

"Is it possible for you to study the magic of meteor showers?"

"If it's just an illusion, it's not a big problem. After all, people's vision is easily deceived."

Luke thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to see meteor showers every day?"

"Who would hate beautiful scenery."

But Trela ​​still shook her head, "But this will lose the expectation of waiting, so forget it."

"So it's good now."

...

Passing through the city fortress Val to the Central Kingdoms, an interesting thing happened on the way back to Barum.

In the Grand Strait, the two unexpectedly met the little girl who used to sell flowers. Now she was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Lu Ke, she called him "Big Brother", which made everyone present look at them with strange eyes.

"I just felt familiar with you, so I called you, and it was you."

The middle-aged woman looked quite emotional, "Forty years have passed, and you are still the same as before, you are really enviable."

Lu Ke had nothing to say to such an unfamiliar person, but just nodded.

Terela was very happy to talk to her. It was obvious that there had been a dispute at that time, but now she only encountered the kindness of old acquaintances.

"Long time no see. How have you been these past years? Are you still selling flowers?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Selling flowers is no longer a popular item. I'm occupying a seat."

"Occupy a seat?"

"Just stay in advance at the best place to watch the sunrise, and let them watch when couples come over."

"Doesn't it mean that you have to get up very early and your body can handle it?"

The middle-aged woman sighed, "I don't have any exquisite craftsmanship, so I have to find a way to make a living. After all, it's not like you who wear noble clothes and open your mouth with food, ah... I don't have any other intentions."

"It's okay, I understand."

Terela smiled and took out some money and stuffed it into her hand, "I bought your place."

"No need." The middle-aged woman pushed the money back, "It's just a place, give it to a friend you haven't seen for forty years, just think of it as a gift after a long separation."

She said with envy in her eyes, "I didn't expect that after forty years, you have become a grandma, and the two of you can still be together."

Terela smiled and glanced at Luke next to her, "I have good taste."

The middle-aged woman nodded with deep understanding, "I also have good taste."

With his sponsorship, Luke and Terela enjoyed a beautiful sunrise from the best location.

Then the two parties said goodbye and continued their lives.

…

Terela felt rejuvenated after arriving home, and her mental state was much better than during the journey.

She cleans the room carefully, arranges household affairs, and prepares meals for Luke. In her free time, she takes him to the theater in a carriage or goes for a walk in the city, enjoying a comfortable and stable life.

The days passed, and in a blink of an eye it was Terela’s seventieth birthday.

Lu Ke prepared a lot for today. He invited An Rui to celebrate her birthday together, and he personally made a birthday cake for her. It looked and tasted great. This was the result of many practices.

Terela liked desserts very much, and she ate half of the entire cake. As half-son, Anri was also present, which made her particularly happy. Her whole face looked rosy and full of energy.

"This is a gift for you."

An Rui took out the portrait of Luke from back then and sent it over. Because it had been properly maintained, the painting was still as exquisite as before, and the elves in the painting were lifelike.

"After thinking about it, except for Uncle Lu Ke, you don't seem to have anything you particularly like, so I can only give you this."

An Rui said sheepishly: "The painter back then is no longer here, and his son has not inherited his skills. Unless other painters are masters with outstanding skills, they should not defend it easily."

"Thank you, I like your gift very much."

Terela happily accepted it, "I wanted it back then. Ms. Luo Yin cared so much about it that I didn't take it away. Now it's finally mine."

Her eyes turned to Luke: "Where is your gift?"

Luke pointed to the birthday cake.

"This doesn't count. You didn't just prepare this, right?" Terela raised her eyebrows.

Luke pursed his lips and pointed to the sky again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following the direction of the finger, there was a slight sound outside the window, and colorful fireworks bloomed in the air. It was so beautiful that it brought the atmosphere of this birthday to a climax.

"Nothing new...just get by."

That night Terela rarely drank some sweet wine, and she talked with Anrui and Lu Ke for a long time in high spirits. After feeling a little sleepy, she returned to the room.

Originally, Lu Ke planned to stay with An Rui for one night, but he shook his head with a wry smile, saying that he couldn't leave.

"Is there anything that must go back?"

An Rui sighed and said in a solemn tone, "Maybe there's going to be a war?"

"fighting?"

"This trend has been going on for a long time. After the demons took hold in Ode, countries began to have frictions and the situation became increasingly tense. Although the war has not started yet, it is likely to come soon."

When the external threat is gone, the internal war will begin. The only lesson that mankind has learned in history is that mankind will never learn a lesson.

As the head of the Campbell family, if a war breaks out, Anri obviously cannot stay out of it.

He patted Lu Ke on the shoulder and said with a slightly relaxed expression, "Maybe I am too pessimistic and may not really start a fight, but whether we can start a war or not, it has nothing to do with you, Uncle Lu Ke."

Luke's territory is a land of honor and reward, and he is a famous magician. As long as he doesn't insist on getting involved, no one will attack him.

"Be careful yourself."

Lu Ke hesitated for a moment, and although he didn't want to be disturbed, he still said: "If you have anything to do, you can come to my place to avoid it."

"clear."

An Rui glanced at the location of Terela's room, and his face darkened a little, "How long will it take?"

Luke did not answer the question and sent the person away without saying a word.

Then, he walked through the corridor to the door of the room, and then read out the answer.

"One night."
