Alina angrily pulled off her hood, sweating profusely from the heat, and loudly said, "It's obvious that you couldn't help but save people because of this exposure."
"They can't recognize the light form I use,"
"You can save people, but I can't?"
When Zhou Jinru heard this, he became even more angry: "You have the nerve to tell me who used the Origin Stone skills to find Tallulah. If I hadn't used subjective time delay, she would definitely have caught you. When the time comes, Talulah La is begging you to stay as pitifully as a puppy, but you still don’t relent?”
Alina hummed and said: "So what if I stay? Anyway, I am also a member of the Integration Movement and I just want to go home."
"Then you can go back now, I have no objection."
Zhou Jinru quickened his pace and threw Bailu away.
After walking a certain distance, I found that Alina was still following behind without saying a word.
She suddenly said: "I can't go back. The current integration movement is completely different from when I left. They have taken a wrong path that is destined to see no future. And now I am not capable of bringing them back on track. I can't be emotional. .”
Zhou Jinru still didn't speak.
Alina caught up with her and shouted as she ran: "What do you want from me? Can't I admit my mistake to you? I'm sorry, I was impulsive when I saw Tallulah. I haven't seen her for a long time. I can't bear it." Use Origin Stone skills to help her out..."
"You're right, it was me who made things difficult for others. I was thinking just now that if it weren't for your Origin Stone skills, Tallulah might indeed die. Just like if I didn't show up in time, many operators wouldn't be able to survive. Even with me If we measure the current strength against the deformed body created by Rhine Life, we may not be able to win immediately."
Xing Xiong almost died in order to save Chen. Zhou Jinru had to rush out to save people. He also tried to find a way to miss himself at the time. It was really scary and dangerous.
The original report said that there was a mysterious glowing person putting out fires everywhere, and it should be him.
"Let's go to the oasis of Talaat now. That's the last stop. It may take a few days before the Rhode Island convoy arrives."
"Is this where you set out to go back a hundred years ago?"
"Um."
Talat is both the beginning and the end.
…
A few days later.
In the center of Talaat city, which is full of Sargonian style, Zhou Jinru and Alina were walking on the road, talking about the past a hundred years ago from time to time.
"Back then, there were four major horse bandits here. They didn't do anything that had anything to do with people. They robbed people as slaves and sold them to surrounding countries. Some even threw them into the mines for mining, digging for Originium veins without any protection. It was very difficult. He will soon become an infected person and die miserably in the end. Human life is worthless here, and it is even more cruel than Ursus."
Alina held the man's arm. She had heard it many times, but when she came to the scene and listened to it again, she always had the illusion of being in the middle of history, as if she was having a conversation with a historical figure.
“Although Talat is a young man, he is also a pasha. He has a dream to establish the oasis territory into Sargon’s most powerful principality. Cities rise from the ground, people live and work in peace and contentment around the river, and smoke drifts into the sky. "
"Did his dream come true?"
"This is his dream," the man exhaled and whispered, "I'm here to fulfill my promise, Your Excellency Pasha."
Alina opened the city tourist map and looked at it for a few times. Without raising her head, she pointed at the landmark building: "Let's go to the city park and take a look at the red willow tree."
When they came to the red willow tree, a historical relic, the previous group of tourists had just left.
The gray-white tree trunks, hanging branches, strings of pink flowers, the breeze blows, and the tamarisk swaying, as if to welcome the guests.
"Is this the tamarisk tree you were talking about?"
A few meters away, Alina looked carefully. This tree was already very old, but its flowering period was still strong.
After seeking the administrator's permission, Zhou Jinru walked to the red willow tree, stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked the trunk.
Yeah, it's pretty old.
That day, he left in the sunset, and the young man chased after him, shouting at the top of his lungs as he ran:
"Just go! I want to be Sargon's greatest pasha! I want my people to live and work in peace and contentment! I want to be Sargon's most powerful pasha!"
That day, the red willow saplings were still very young, and their fragile lives took root in the barren land and grew vigorously.
A hundred years later, even the trees are old, where are the old friends?
Zhou Jinru exhaled slowly.
Alina held his hand and whispered: "It has witnessed your past. Talat has fulfilled his promise, becoming a good pasha, a great pasha, making his people happy and healthy."
"I'm fine."
"There's a girl with blue hair over there looking at us."
Zhou Jinru stood up. He knew it was Xingji, but it was not time to reveal his identity yet.
The two left the city garden and continued strolling hand in hand.
Bai Lu sniffed: "You never seem to worry about me."
"I've always thought about it, why do you think so?"
"Then have you ever thought that I would fall in love with you?"
"Ah? What about Tallulah? If I steal her love, she will be angry."
Alina pinched the man's arm hard: "The relationship between Xiaota and I is pure friendship, and I am not from Victoria. Why do I think two girls are together?"
"Then I won't worry."
"You're an asshole."
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but laugh: "That's true. I'm quite an asshole. I admit it. Why do you say this all of a sudden?"
Alina said sternly: "Of course I want to say it, and I want to say it now. I'm afraid that one day, you will disappear again, and you will never be found again. If you don't have time to say it, it will become an eternal regret."
This girl probably saw the red willow tree and was inspired by it.
Bailu pursues rationality, but cannot give up his own sensibility.
"You don't seem to care at all?"
"There are so many girls who love me, I'm a little too busy."
This guy is really a bastard!
Alina had a straight face and let go of her hand. She was annoyed that she could fall in love with such a scumbag.
Just as the new Cold War was starting again, a burst of sand suddenly floated in the sky.
"There is no sandstorm today, why is there sand?"
Zhou Jinru frowned and said calmly: "It seems that the Eternal Life Army is here. You stay here and wait for me. I will go and meet them. The oasis territory is Talaat's life-long effort and cannot be destroyed by others."
The man turned into a golden light and flew towards the sky.
Alina sat alone in a small shop on the street, bought a cold meal, and waited boredly.
The rain of sand stopped after a while, and a few minutes later, Zhou Jinru walked in from outside, his clothes covered with sand.
"Run away?"
"It's okay. We fought for two rounds. I originally thought I would have to fight for a while, but I didn't expect that I just ran away."
