Guild Boss's Ambition

I hurriedly shouted: "Come on, young man! You are not a bird, you can't fly!"

“Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! —”

The lonely boy was suddenly frightened and started gesticulating on the edge of the fourth-floor terrace, trying to find a delicate sense of balance.

Unlike the buildings on Earth, the floors of our guild are built very high!

A first floor is about fourteen meters high, and a three-story building is forty-two meters high.

Basically, if a human hits the ground directly from a height of 46 meters, there is a 100% chance of survival.

So, if you fall from a height of 42 meters—

"He'll still die, right? He'll usually die, right?"

Fortunately, Luke didn't let me commit manslaughter. He finally managed to stand firm and complained to me in a hoarse voice: "Miss Lannon, you can scare people to death, do you know that?!"

I glared back at him, not wanting to be blamed. "I called you because I was afraid someone would jump off the building. And since you look so timid, why don't you stand in such a dangerous place like others? It could get someone killed."

Hearing my harsh rebuke, the boy looked away with a bitter smile.

"Perhaps, I am really not the kind of person who is suitable for taking risks."

It was then that I noticed the change in him.

Notice his fluttering, empty sleeves.

He paid the price for taking risks.

"Ah! Your right hand—"

I was so shocked that I covered my mouth and was speechless for a moment.

He forced a smile and looked at his missing right arm. "Why? Why do I feel like it exists, but in fact it has disappeared? I used it to make coffee a few days ago. Recently, I have learned how to make mini dragon-style latte art with it, but now half of it is missing."

As far as I know, if a limb is separated from the main trunk for too long, healing magic will not be able to recognize the original shape of the body. Even if the broken limbs are picked up, it will be useless in the end. It is precisely for this reason that this world with good healing technology will produce a large number of people with limb disabilities during war.

However, if it was Bai Ye, she might have a way to reconstruct the limbs.

No! She definitely has a way to repair her limbs! After all, she had broken her arm once, and it seemed that her arm had been burned by the high elf with the purifying fire. The situation was definitely more serious than the normal broken limbs!

But the problem is that Bai Ye may not agree to treat the injured.

A war would create tens of millions of disabled people, and she didn't have the kindness to treat them one by one.

However, looking at the depressed boy in front of me, I couldn't bear it.

“Luke…”

I called him softly, not knowing how to comfort him.

He had his back to me, looking towards the lights in the distance, towards their battlefield in the east, muttering to himself.

"At that time, I was placed in the vanguard position by President Ehard."

"They told me to just charge forward with my spear held horizontally."

"The battlefield was very chaotic, but the charge went very smoothly at the beginning. The president was very brave. If it weren't for that lightning spear, I have no doubt that she would have led us straight to the other side of the enemy camp."

"But she collapsed, and Miss Raftan disappeared with her."

"From that moment on, it was as if I was the only one fighting on the battlefield."

"Charge forward with your spear held high—Charge forward with your spear held high—"

"I kept repeating their orders, trembling with fear."

"There were constant roars of killing and thunder from all around—"

"In the end, I went to the other side of the battlefield with a blank mind—"

"We won! We succeeded! Someone cheered excitedly."

"Luke! You are so brave! I admire you in a new light now! --Someone admires me for no reason."

"At that moment, my mind went blank for a long time, as if I was daydreaming."

"Until a certain inspiration came to me, and I realized—"

"Ah! I'm not dead yet! I'm still alive!"

"I was extremely excited at the time, an unprecedented excitement. I felt as if I had been lucky enough to obtain a rich fortune that should not belong to me. Everyone's revelry and praise made me think that I was a hero in this battle! But the moment I fell off my horse and returned to the ground, just when I wanted to switch the spear in my right hand to my left hand, I found out -"

Luke's voice suddenly stopped.

He squatted down and covered his mouth as if he wanted to swallow the sound.

Boys can never allow themselves to show weakness in front of girls.

When we are hurt, we tend to recover in solitude.

A man must be strong...

A man must be strong...

A man must be tall and unshakable...

The world always demands this of us men, otherwise it will punish those who betray these creeds.

Luke is a weak boy.

But who says men have to be strong?

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has sad moments. Do you really think that you are a cold-blooded and heartless creature because you don't shed tears? Do you really think that you are a brave man who can smile at cloudy days because you don't feel fear? That is because the arrow has not yet hit your Achilles tendon, and there is only a one in ten million chance that you have really become a non-human without blood and tears.

But don't forget, not everyone is born into this world to fight.

If Homo sapiens were simply a fighting creature, then our body structure should be stronger. We should all be as vast as the dragon in the sky and the angry dragon swimming in the sea. We should not lazily enjoy the afternoon sunshine and meals, play boring games, make unrealistic jokes, and spend the so-called leisurely and happy time doing nothing.

Isn't that kind of world too boring?

There are weak and beautiful men in the world, as well as strong and great women.

To be honest, in my eyes, Luke is indeed not an outstanding person.

He is not only arrogant, but also selfish, without sympathy and impatient, but -

"Ding ding ding, there are red bean buns. Do you want some?"

I shook the only red bean bun of the night in front of the tearful Seaweed Head.

He hugged his knees and stretched out his neck to bite the red bean bun.

Click.

There was a sound of teeth colliding, and he didn't bite the soft bun.

He buried his head in his knees again in sorrow.

"Mr. Luke, hasn't he already achieved his goal?"

"Eh?"

Hearing what I said, Luke raised his head with wet eyes.

I took a small bite of the red bean bun and said with a smile, "You were injured and disabled on the battlefield. Given President Ehad's personality, she will never appoint such a wounded soldier to the battlefield again. In other words, you can now think about the coffee shop wholeheartedly. As long as you wait until the wrath of nature ends, you can fulfill your dream."

"Miss Lannon doesn't understand how I feel at all," he hummed.

"I'm not interested in your girlish heart at all."

I rolled my eyes and complained to him, "I just hate it when someone cries while I eat red bean buns. Giving water to people like you is a waste of the world's water resources. You are definitely one of the culprits that caused the wrath of nature. Did you know that when a giraffe drinks coffee, its throat becomes cold? No, because you only think about yourself."

"Miss Lannon, how can you have the heart to say such things?" he asked sobbingly.

"Otherwise, do you want me to say something comforting to someone who is happier than you?" I asked him back.

"There's really nothing to say."

He looked at me with pitiful eyes and choked up and said, "But it's so painful."

I rubbed his seaweed head as if I were petting a puppy.

I wanted to say something more.

But his tears flowed earlier.

Perhaps this is the posture that suits him──

Shedding tears when sad, bending over when in pain -

As weak as grass, as strong as grass, as humble and great as grass.

……

……

36. Who am I (???)

(???)

Memory is in chaos──

Memories surge in the dark chaos──

Memories are like the sea, mixed with water from all over the world. Sometimes I am an orc who aspires to become an elegant knight, sometimes I am a woman with two children, sometimes I am a high elf fighting to maintain balance, sometimes I am an elf dragon flying freely in the blue sky, and sometimes I am a rabbit that strayed into the battlefield...

My memory seems to be mixed with many memories that do not belong to me.

But among all the memories, there is one that stands out particularly clearly.

There are always a few words that are particularly unforgettable.

someone said:

"My child, my little princess, please remember──"

"Don't trust anyone!"

"You only need to take orders from one person."

"Become the strongest and you will be far away from death."

"Become the sharpest sickle, and you will never be abandoned."

It was all a very gentle female voice, full of magic and charm, and every word was a teaching that touched my heart. Even though the teachings were a little strange, I just couldn't have too many doubts about them. I wanted to believe them, I wanted to believe this sad female voice, and I always felt that this female voice was my most important treasure.

Suddenly, out of the mysterious black hole, the light of dawn broke.

Because of this light, I seemed to remember my past, but also seemed to have lost something.

"who am I?"

I opened my eyes and stood alone on the top of the mountain. Below the mountain was a battlefield of swords and flesh.

"who am I?"

No one could answer my question, and I myself could not remember the answer.

My head is like a diary with pages missing—and someone has deliberately deleted many key words.

But at least I still vaguely remember some important things.

I remember I had to revive her?

Huh? Wait? Who is she?

I can’t remember! How could I not remember?

The feeling of fear grew in my heart, like the black smoke squeezed in the chimney of the train, making a heart-wrenching scream. I squatted on the edge of the cliff with my head in my hands, shivering alone. Suddenly, another pure female voice emerged from my heart, telling me another mission of life, another heavy mission for which I could give everything.

"Eliminate all negative factors that are not conducive to the balance of nature."

Negative factors that are not conducive to the balance of nature? What are they?

Will I find my happiness if I just complete this one mission?

If I just complete this one command, will I find a way to revive her?

if only……

"Become the sharpest sickle—"

"As long as I obey one person──"

Would I no longer be left behind? Would I no longer be alone like I am now?
