The Man In His Memory

Desolation, there is nothing on the moon, all that can be seen is a barren, sandy ground, scattered sunken potholes, nothing, animals, plants, and even all living things, without the slightest vitality, it seems that there has never been any living thing.

The man named Enel looked around in a daze, with unparalleled hesitation and disbelief in his eyes. It seemed that he had never thought that the place he had longed for all his life would look like this.

"Is this the infinite land?"

Enel murmured to himself, "Is this the infinite land?"

"Didn't I say that this is the paradise where gods live?"

"how--"

Eniel was seriously injured, and his charred body instantly fell to the ground. He said in disbelief, "There is nothing!"

The next thing to talk about is of course the story of Enelu and a certain man.

That happened a long, long time ago. A man named Enel. Oh, no, at that time, the boy named Enel also had his own relatives. Although he had died for a long, long time, he could not even think of his name. But it is true that such a guy existed. Before Enel claimed to be a god, there was a guy who laughed and cried with him.

It's really been a long time. If he remember correctly, it still happened on a sky island called Birka, which was Enel's hometown. Like the God's Domain he occupied later, it was both high in the sky. It's an empty island on the White white Sea. Speaking carefully, the two islands are not far apart. Communication and trade are common. There is no situation where they don't understand each other.

Perhaps because of the frequent communication, or perhaps because of the similarity of the residents, the cultural gap between the two islands is not large, or in other words, they are simply different branches of the same civilization.

Like the realm of gods, the supreme ruler of Birka is also called a god. Enel still vaguely remembers how wanton the guy who looked unbelievable and cried bitterly before being killed by him was when he was a child.

I'm very envious. To be honest, Enel is very envious of that guy. As a god, he naturally occupies the highest position on this island. With power that can't be compared with humans, he naturally stands above everyone and is loved by everyone. Longing for the existence that is feared.

Enel really envied him. Although he had only seen him from a distance, Enel really envied him for his demeanor and fearless spirit.

Because Enel's life on this island where angels live is not very satisfactory, because Enel is a stranger! No matter what human beings look like, no matter what their appearance is, as long as there are enough people to form a group, it is a matter of course that people who are different will be excluded!

He is different. Enel has known this since he was a child. As a person living on Birka, the Island of Angels, Enel has not had the wings that angels must have since he was born. Maybe it is a mutation, maybe It's a coincidence, maybe it's destiny. In short, Enel has been different from others since he was a child.

Maybe this is not a big deal for people living on land, and it is of no use anyway, but for people living on Sky island, this is really an unimaginable thing. This is proof of the bloodline of our ancestors that has been passed down for who knows how long.

So Enel has no parents. There has never been such a concept. There has never been a father or mother. Enel has never experienced such warmth. It was only later that he heard someone said that there was a woman who gave birth to a child without wings. She was killed by her furious husband who thought he had been betrayed. He only heard about such things later, and when he destroyed Birka later, there was a man who cried and said he was his father.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Because he have never experienced it before, he naturally have no expectations. Because he have never recognized such a concept, he will not hesitate. They are just two strangers. That's all. .

Enel only has one relative. Although a long time has passed and Enel has almost forgotten the appearance of that guy, but there really is such a person. He should be regarded as a relative, right?

This is of course, without such a guy, Enel would not have survived as a baby. What is that person's name?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a name, anyway, just know that he is Enel's only relative.

Perhaps they share the same problem. Although it is not like Enel who were born without wings, it is just that one of the wings is underdeveloped and looks like a chicken wing, but it is different after all. The man understands Enel's situation very well. Although the little Enel had no understanding at all, so because he was in the same boat, the man couldn't just watch Enel die like this. It had nothing to do with good or evil, he just had a simple feeling that he had found someone of the same kind.

The thing that impressed Enel the most about Birka and that man when he was a child was that everyone laughed at him and that man. There was no more in-depth reason, just because he was different, that's all. Enough to be the target of bullying.

Although they would all be bullied, the most that the man faced was strange looks. Ever since he became sensible, Enel realized that although they were in the same boat, the two of them were different after all. At least the man would not be beaten.

Life was not easy. An unpopular man brought a child who could be called a heretic. Enel's first impression of life was that it was really uncomfortable to be hungry.

That man was not kind to Enel. At least, he never helped Enel when he was bullied. His favorite thing to do was to stand aside and laugh after Enel was beaten black and blue. Thanks to him, Enel gradually became good at fighting.

That man has never been a good person. If the definition of a good person is to be helpful, beautiful, and enthusiastic, then he should be a villain, cheating, and stealing. As long as it is a means that allows him to survive, he will not care.

That man simply wanted to live. There was no greater ambition. Just staying alive already required all his efforts. After meeting Enel, his goal became, if possible, to live with this kid.

That man really likes to laugh, just like the Vlad Enel met now. Whether he is happy or sad, angry or nervous, that man always likes to laugh.

Enel had seen him laugh countless times. When he managed to steal a week's worth of food from his boss, and when he was discovered and ran away, he saw Enel being constrained by the food he had made. Of course, the smile that impressed Enel most deeply was only three times.

The first time he saw the god Birka from a distance, there was a very yearning smile on his lips. No wonder, as a ruled person, it is natural to yearn for the position of ruler, right? Even this man without dreams still has aspirations, right?

I remember what he said at that time.

"Hey, Enel, look, that's a god. It's great. If you are a god, you won't have to go hungry every day, right?"

"Hahahaha, Enel, tell me, if you become a god, will you be able to eat all you want to eat barbecue?"

"Maybe, maybe I can even eat fruit!"

Enel had only heard of what the fruit was. He heard that it was a specialty product from another sky island and was very precious, so he had never seen it before.

The second time was when the man told Enel about the infinite land suspended in the sky. The man's smile at that time was a smile that Enel would never forget in his life. It was very bright and very happy. He said that the infinite land is the hometown of Sky Island people, a dreamlike place where everyone can laugh to their heart's content, and the residence of gods.

Enel remembers clearly that the man's smile at that time was a longing from the heart. Perhaps, that was the only dream of the man who had no dreams. He wanted to go to a place where even people like him could be happy. The paradise of life.

The third and final time was when the man was about to lose his life.

It happened very suddenly, and there was no preparation for Enel.

To this day, Enel still remembers clearly that it was a noon that looked no different from usual.

The weather was very hot that day. It was really strange. It was an island hanging high in the sky, but it felt very hot.

Enel spent another morning without any gains. As a thief, his characteristics are too obvious. Even if he is wearing a cloak, it is not easy to succeed.

When they returned to the small shabby house where the two of them lived, they found that the place was surrounded by the magic team. They finally squeezed into the crowd of spectators and squeezed to the front with their petite body.

Then what caught his eye was the guy lying on the ground, kowtowing to a man in luxurious clothes.

Enel knew who the richly dressed man was, the ruler of the island, the man known as God.

Enel, who was mixed in the middle of the crowd, easily found out what happened from the enthusiastic people's mouths.

The story is very simple. It is about a blind thief who stole something from someone he shouldn't mess with, but was discovered by the owner.

Enel often encounters this kind of thing, but this time, the owner's background is a little bigger. Enel thought of the girl he had easily steal the day before. It turned out that she was the daughter of God!

Enel instinctively wants to step forward. It has been agreed long ago that whoever initiates will bear the responsibility. It has always been like this. This is an agreement between two people. It was Enel who did this. So Enel decided to stand up. He didn't feel anything was wrong. Even if he didn't stand up, the man would expose him. Enel had experienced this many times.

But immediately, something wrong happened, because Enel heard very clearly what the man who was kowtowing was shouting.

"Please forgive me, Lord God! It's because I don't have eyes! I shouldn't steal from Her Highness the Goddess! Please let me go!"

Enel couldn't understand that this was different from what he had experienced before. In the past, the man would betray him without hesitation and then watch him being beaten aside and laugh, but now?

Enel was very sure that the man had discovered him. This was a unique tacit understanding between the two, but the man did not move his eyes even a little bit here!

What is this?

Then, then the man died!

That god is not an easy guy to talk to. As a man who has ruled Sky Island for decades, no one has dared to resist him for a long, long time. Although he is just a thief, this is not a reason to let him go. It is just offensive. God alone is enough to crush this scum to pieces.

The god did not take action himself, but just waved, and a magic soldier walked over knowingly. Facing the man who was still lying on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy, there was no hesitation in the soldier's eyes.

If the targets of execution were civilians, this magic soldier might still hesitate, but only when facing the scum in this country, there is no need for mercy, so he simply raised his long sword neatly.

Even though the knife was held to his neck, the man still had no intention of resisting. The only change was that he was shaking even more! Fear had deeply gripped his heart, but he did not dare to resist.

So he died.

The sharp long sword penetrated directly through his chest, and the long sword passed through his back. Perhaps it was a bad idea of the magic weapon. The position where it passed through happened to be the position of the underdeveloped wings, and it looked like it was worn on a string. Like chicken wings, a little funny.

With a sharp scream, everything came to an end. The man covered his chest and slowly fell to the ground, screaming incessantly, but to no avail, blood gushed out like spring water.

The man gradually lost his life. It was at this time that Enel saw his smiling face for the last time.

His face was as dry and thin as usual, but whiter. When he fell to the ground and slowly lost his life, when he saw Enel wrapped in a cloak, he smiled, a bright smile, Along with tears of fear, this man's life ended with such a smile.

The story ends here, that man's life ends here. He is humbler than anyone else, more cowardly than anyone else, and even his name has been forgotten. At the end of his humble life, he is like a dregs. , finally did something brave.

The boy he saved also saved him in the end. Even a guy like that man has something he wants to protect.
