Chapter 172
The Last Night
The deep moonlight soaked in the river water. Lin Yi looked out of the car window at the Thames River, which glowed slightly like the Milky Way in the sky. There was a huge cruise ship floating on the calm sea.
On a stone port, Lin Yi stood on the bluestone slab of the port, looking up at the cruise ships with colorful lights.
Looking back from the cruise ship, and then extending straight forward, all you see are British gentlemen wearing expensive black jazz hats, or Victorian ladies wearing luxurious dresses and covering half of their pretty faces with gauze hats. Every pair of men and women The dress is extravagant.
“It’s really criminal capital.”
Tallulah whispered in Lin Yi’s ear, and after being overheard by Shi Huaiya, Shi Huaiya put her hands on her chest and said with a disapproving smile, “Nobles have more power and land in Victoria, and they also abide by their own It is the responsibility of a nobleman to develop industries and lead troops in battle. Although I can understand your thoughts, in Victoria, the noble class is indispensable, so they enjoy more convenience and wealth.”
“Talulah, let go of your prejudices and have fun with me tonight.”
Lin Yi looked at Shi Huaiya’s joyful appearance, smiled unconsciously, and looked at Tallulah beside her.
“Just do what she says tonight.”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Talula pursed her lips, and lightlyHe nodded lightly.
The queue ahead was moving forward slowly but surely, and Lin Yi soon stepped onto the deck of the cruise ship, breathing in the fresh air on the Thames River.
Looking from the deck of the cruise ship to the river bank of Lentinium, the lights of thousands of households form a warm and beautiful landscape, as beautiful as the bright stars in the sky.
The strong wind swept across the river, brushing against Lin Yi’s face with a wet breath. He grabbed the railing of the cruise ship with both hands, and looked at the street scene on the river bank in the distance, his eyes filled with unstoppable joy.
Talula stood beside Lin Yi, looking at Lin Yi’s smiling side face, she also smiled slightly.
“The view of Londinium from here is really beautiful.”
“Yes, I think I will always remember this moment.”
Talula looked at Lin Yi with an expression, and slowly put her slender hand on Lin Yi’s.
This slight movement made Lin Yi turn around and look at Talula.
He noticed that Tallulah’s eyes were not only as deep as the water of the Thames, but also carried a sadness like the emptiness of the moonlight.
“Did something happen?”
Hearing Lin Yi’s soft inquiry, Tallulah smiled frankly.
“Lin Yi, I’m going back to Ursus soon, so this may be the last night I spend with you.”
Hearing Tallulah’s words, Lin Yi blinked in disbelief.
This was the first time Lin Yi heard Tallulah say that she was leaving Londinium, so she was very surprised.
“Why are you leaving?”
Faced with Lin Yi’s eager questioning, Tallulah held Lin Yi’s hand slightly, and said, “Ursas is my second hometown, where there are many ore patients enslaved by the nobles of Ursas, I Want to go out there and find out what I can do to help them.”
Lin Yi was taken aback when she heard the words: “You want to liberate those ore patients?”
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Talula nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Yi’s conjecture: “They need me.”
“Talulah, do you know how difficult it is?”
Lin Yi looked at Talula seriously, with a low tone like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
“Although the ruling class of Ursus is corrupt and civil strife is intensifying, it is still the largest empire in Terra. It cannot be changed or overthrown by you alone.”
“I understand.” Tallulah’s eyes narrowed slightly, but the determination in her eyes remained the same: “But if no one does it, then all this will never start.”
Lin Yi looked at Talu La’s soft yet firm face, and couldn’t help but tremble in his heart, and his face immediately relaxed.
In the past on Kazdel’s battlefield, Kazdel’s princess Teresia also said the same thing to Tallulah.
She is different from Theresia, her expression is more serious and decisive, but fundamentally, she and Theresia are the same, they both maintain compassion for the suffering people.
Lin Yi sighed helplessly. Just like she couldn’t persuade Theresia back then, Lin Yi couldn’t persuade Tallulah now either.
“Lin Yi.”
Hearing Tallulah’s words, when Lin Yi looked back, she tensed her cheeks, and stretched out Lin Yi’s hand, as if inviting Lin Yi.
“Would you like to come with me?”
Talula wanted Lin Yi to go to Usas with her, partly because she knew Lin Yi’s fighting ability, but more because she wanted Lin Yi to be by her side.
Hearing Tallulah’s words, Lin Yi was startled for a moment, and his eyes moved down a little. He noticed that Tallulah’s left hand was tightly grasping the railing, and the expression on his face was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to look Lin Yi in the eye.
Lin Yi chewed on the meaning of Talula’s words. If she agreed to him, it would mean that she would abandon her family, friends, and everything in Londinium, and risk her life to follow her…
Could this be a Tallulah-style “marriage proposal”?
What Talula said was to let Lin Yi choose herself, not only let him choose herself in this fair competition with Huijie, but also let him choose herself in everything in Londinium.
The moonlight cast a cold light on Tallulah’s white dress. Her eyes were trembling with nervousness, and even the hand she stretched out to Lin Yi trembled.
Lin Yi pursed her lips, and said after a long silence, “Sorry.”
Lin Yi’s answer was summed up in two short words, which made the corners of Tallulah’s mouth twitch, and she withdrew her right hand in frustration. A teardrop slipped down her face.
Under the ethereal moonlight, her fair skin looked extraordinarily cool, and her slightly trembling body looked much weaker than usual. The moment tears rolled down her face.
Lin Yi felt that his heart was very depressed. Like many men, he was afraid of seeing a woman’s tears, and he was even more afraid of making a woman cry by himself.
He reached out and hugged Tallulah’s slightly trembling body tightly, and patted her on the back as if to comfort her.
Sensing the bosom of Lin Yi’s acquaintance, Talula pursed her lips and asked tremblingly, “Can you give me a reason?”
Lin Yi’s eyes darkened slightly upon hearing this.
“Lentinium has my family and friends, and Huijie is here too, and…” Lin Yi choked up when she said this: “I’m not as great as you, and I don’t want to risk everything to save Others, I just want to live peacefully with my important people.”
Lin Yi once followed Teresis and Teresia to fight for the liberation of the Sarkaz people, but the result was not very optimistic. The king of the Sarkaz people is still vacant, and the place has also become a battlefield.
It doesn’t matter whether Lin Yi is running away or his heart is ashamed, heNow she just wants to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person, but what Tallulah is pursuing is indeed a heroic career.
To put it simply, the two of them have different choices of paths.
On Lin Yi’s shoulder, Tallulah nodded gently.
She already understood Lin Yi’s thoughts.
Tallulah was already mentally prepared for this answer when she asked, but she still wanted to hear Lin Yi personally reject it, because only after hearing Lin Yi’s answer could she leave Londinium without any worries .
Lin Yi’s body was gently pushed away by Talula. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her white and tender hands, and a bright smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
“This is the last night we will spend together, let us cherish this night.”
