Chapter 155 The Last Old Friend

The long river of time flows unceasingly and will not stop according to the will of any living being.

Lord and Celie spent years together that were far beyond imagination, experiencing repeated aging of their bodies and reincarnation of their souls.

The heroic stories gradually became the background of the bards' songs.

The world is changing, new magical theories are emerging, but none of this has anything to do with the two people living in seclusion in the forest.

However, there are still things that they both have to do.

The atmosphere in the once glorious Dwarven Kingdom is now extremely heavy.

Thorm, the former king of the dwarves, the hero who saved the world, and the last companion of Lord and Celie, has come to his own end.

His once strong body now had difficulty even moving a finger, and even his eyes had become cloudy. Only when he looked at Lord and Celie could he still emit a last glimmer of light.

Only the former heroes were left in the empty room. Everyone was driven out by Som, including his family.

In his opinion, he has been with his family for long enough, and in this last period of time, he should spend more time with his old friends.

Lord sat beside Som, unfolding magic in his hands, and a holy light enveloped him, trying to alleviate his last pain.

Som's normal life span is coming to an end, and holy magic can no longer heal him. At most, it can only delay his pain before death.

Celie sat by a window a little further away, looking at the scenery outside. Although she didn't look at Som, appearing here was the last farewell she could give.

"Lord, it seems like it's time to say goodbye." Som's voice was very weak, like a candle in the wind.

Lord replied in a gentle voice, "Yes! Your life has been wonderful enough. I think you should have no regrets."

He did not propose the idea of ​​extending life.

He knew his dwarf companion and knew that he would make the same choice as Norn.

"Yeah! I have no regrets anymore! It's time to go meet those two guys." Som's eyes were fixed on Lord's still youthful face. "Lord, are you happy?"

During these hundreds of years, Lord had also come to find him, and he also knew the secret of the other party's immortality.

However, he did not feel any envy, but just felt a little pity for his former companion.

It's not really pitiful.

After all, he has Celia by his side, so he won't spend these long years alone.

If it were Som himself, without anyone by his side, he simply couldn't imagine the days ahead.

This is also an important reason why he never asked Lord to extend his life.

After all, my life has been wonderful enough and there is no need to go on.

Hearing Som's question, Celie moved almost imperceptibly by the window, but did not turn back.

In fact, she was also very curious. Was Lord happy during the time he was with her?

Have you caused trouble to the other party?
Companionship needs to be mutual.

I need Lord to accompany me all the way, and Lord should also need me, right?

Miss Elf was a little uncertain.

For some reason, she subconsciously hoped to hear Lord mention her.

Lord smiled and answered frankly, "Very happy. As long as I have someone by my side, everything is happy." Celia turned her head away reassuredly, thinking to herself:
Sure enough, this man also needs me!
"Really? Then let's continue this joy! Lord, the journey ahead depends on you and Celie." Som's breath grew weaker, his eyes starting to blur. As if he saw an old friend, he raised his hand with all his strength, "I see you. Are you here to pick me up?"

His voice eventually faded into the air, and his raised hand lost its last bit of strength and fell down helplessly.

Lord silently placed the hand back on his chest and tidied up his old friend's appearance.

Once again, he sent his friend away.

Celia finally stood up from the window and walked over to Som.

She stretched out her white fingers, and the magic of comfort and blessing emerged from her fingertips, bidding farewell to the dwarf sleeping in front of her.

"Goodbye, Thom." Her voice was soft. "I'll remember you."

Thorm's funeral was as grand as Norn's. After all, both of them were kings, and they must have a decent funeral after their death.

Lord did not attend the funeral. He just took a quick look from a high place and then left.

But before leaving, he took away the armor that the other party used in the past, as well as the long sword that Norn used in the past. Eric left behind his wand and erected three tombstones for several people.

This is to remember my former companions.

It’s a pity that they didn’t leave behind any statues or the like, and only the legend of killing gods was passed down by everyone.

And the legend will one day gradually disappear due to the passage of time, and the heroic stories will be buried in the long river of time.

Even Lord couldn't change that.

After seeing off their last companion, time seemed to become thicker and longer for Lord and Celie.

Lord would still reincarnate every once in a while, and while waiting, Celie would study various magics and occasionally take a stroll in the forest to pass the time.

Until one day like any other.

There was a flurry of hurried footsteps in the forest, and an elf girl appeared in front of the two.

Her green eyes were filled with curiosity and a hint of fear, and her slender ears trembled slightly because of nervousness.

Celie was a little confused by the elven girl who suddenly appeared in front of her.

I had clearly set up a lot of warning magic on the periphery, so why was this girl able to bypass the magic quietly and appear in front of me?

Could it be that she used some special concealment magic?
But judging from his appearance, he is too young, probably not even a magic apprentice. He may be born with some special abilities.

Even Lord was attracted and leaned out of the window, looking at the uninvited guest with interest.

The elf girl also saw Celia and was immediately attracted by this ancient and powerful elf who was said to live deep in the forest.

After all, over the past few hundred years, Celie had cleared out all the monsters in this forest, and its existence had also been known to the elven village on the edge of the forest.

At first they also sent people to contact Celiai, but they were all driven away.

This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that someone had suddenly appeared before her.

The elf girl felt a little helpless under Celia's calm gaze. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing where to put her hands.

Lord was somewhat curious about Celie's next move.
