Gate of the Cross

Chapter 209 confusing

After Xinjie blew out the oil lamp, he found that although there was no light, the starlight outside the house could still shine through the window.

It seems that I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time.

Xinjie thought so. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it has only been less than a week since the night of the meteor hill, but this feeling seems to have passed for months.

No, if you think about it carefully, it's indeed a few months, at least three months from the timeline here. Since that night, he has been experiencing the repetition of fighting, preparing to fight, and continuing to fight. Until this moment, he did not have time to recall these things.

The girl's body fragrance beside him made him realize that he was not alone at this moment. As Saber said, she was not an ordinary girl, but Xinjie didn't really care about it. His personality determines that he will not care as much about this kind of thing as Rin Tosaka. If he had a choice, he would naturally not do so, but now that he has already done so, he will not be entangled.

He turned his head and found that Saber had not slept. Through the starlight outside the window, he could see that her eyes with gemstone-colored pupils were clear and bright.

"Not asleep yet?"

"Hmm."

"Can't sleep?"

"Well, what about you?"

"Think about things."

"What's the matter?"

"Opener."

"Very upset?"

"A little... Go to sleep and save magic."

"Good."

After that, the two stopped talking and fell silent.

Tosaka Rin listened to the brief conversation between the two and felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that Xinjie and Saber seemed to have a common language than himself. They are all the kind of people who can quickly adapt to the environment and remain calm under any circumstances, with a maturity that is completely inconsistent with their peers.

She couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart. Is the conversation between the two over? She tried to keep quiet and turned over quietly, but found that Xinjie and Saber had really closed their eyes and fell asleep.

"...they can really sleep." Rin Tosaka is speechless. Should these two people say that they are heartless or heartless?

Looking that both of them didn't care about the current situation, Tosaka Rin had nothing to say and toss and turned.

"I can't sleep."

She was no better than the two, and she gradually narrowed over until the middle of the night.

The next day.

When Rin Tosaka opened his eyes, he found that Saber was still beside him, but he looked over Saber's body and looked into the distance and found that Xinjie was missing.

It seems that he hasn't done anything strange.

Seeing Saber sleeping so peacefully, Rin Farsaka thought of it.

She couldn't help slowly approaching Saber and observing her carefully. Her perfect face and enviable delicate skin could not be called Sleeping Beauty.

She was approaching and looking at Saber carefully, but Xinjie happened to come in at this time and saw this scene.

The two are too close. From Xinjie's point of view, it seems that Rin Tosaka came up and wanted to kiss Saber.

"Oh, excuse me, you continue."

Xinjie said with a blank face, it turned out that Rin Tosaka was actually a lily?

"What to continue...no! It's not what you think!"

Tosaka Rin didn't expect that Xinjie would come in at such a moment. Naturally, she is not a lily. Her sexual orientation is still very normal, but Xinjie happened to see this situation, so she really can't misunderstand.

She originally planned to ask Xinjie not to tell Saber about this, but when she shouted, Saber immediately woke up.

Saber's vigilance was not low. At this moment, Rin Tosaka spoke a little louder and she immediately woke up.

So Saber saw Rin Tosaka's hands supporting **, and his whole body was almost close to him. It happened that Rin Tosaka also looked at her, so the two looked at each other, and the distance between them almost reached the legendary zero.

For a moment, Saber said, "Rin, what do you want to do?"

"I...I..."

Tosaka Rin opened her mouth. What else could she say at this moment? After being stunned for a long time, she jumped back from **, ran out of the door, and shouted while running, "I don't know anything!"

Xinjie looked at Rin Tosaka's back and said, "It's rare for her to remember to change her clothes this time."

"Yes." Saber also nodded, and the black and red dress she usually wore soon appeared when Rin Tosaka jumped down from **.

"Stay here today?" Saber also changed back her set of knight armor, which made Xinjie envy her and Tosaka Rin's one-click dress-up function again. It was really simple and convenient.

"Well, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Good."

Saber simply agreed, so the two walked out together. Of course, breakfast was indispensable.

Zeding's family prepared a rich breakfast to entertain the three Xinjie. Rin Yuansaka had already sat at the table waiting for Xinjie and Saber, and his face turned red after seeing them.

And in the next time, Sabre surprised Zeding and his wife again like the village head. Isn't this girl hungry? One bowl after another of rice didn't stop at all. Instead, Xinjie next to her stopped after eating a bowl of a few mouthfuls of vegetables. Even Tosaka Rin eats more than him, but naturally it is much less than Saber.

After dinner, the three walked out of the village with the surprised eyes of the Zeding couple. There was no tourist attraction like Meteor Hill near Ghana Village, so the three left directly from the entrance of another village in Ghana Village.

Ghana Village is located in the northeast of Sochia Island. The village itself is not far from the sea. Compared with Chili Village, another village on Sochia Island, it is not large in size, but it is better than the simple folk customs. The specialty of the village is catfish, which is quite famous in Sochia Island and even the whole Kingdom of France.

You can see the sea not far from the entrance of another village. Although Xinjie has seen the sea more than once since he came to this world, Xinjie always has a different feeling every time he sees the sea.

"The scenery here is good!"

Rin Farsaka sighed.

"Indeed."

Saber nodded to agree.

"There seems to be... something there?"

Rin Tosaka was looking at the nearby scenery and suddenly saw a strange thing not far from them. She immediately ran over. Soon, after observing for a while, she waved to Xinjie and Saber and shouted, "Xinjie! Saber! Come and have a look!"

"Is this... a tombstone?"

Xinjie looked at the object that looked like a stone tablet. Now his scalp was numb when he saw the stone tablet, afraid that it was another mysterious device that transmitted it to the past, but after careful observation, he found that it should be a tombstone.

"Well, yes, and there are words on it." Farsaka Rin pointed to the line above and said to Xinjie, "Come and read it."

"The handwriting seems very vague... But it can barely be recognized. Should this word be a card? Love your wife? Sleeping for a long time?" Xinjie struggled to read the words on the stone tablet: "Yecca and his beloved wife... Ashafu sleep here...?"

"Yeca and his beloved wife Ashaf sleep here?"

Xinjie was stunned after reading this sentence. He looked up at Saber and Rin Tosaka, and saw that they were also looking at him with a strange look.

Yeca and Ashaf both died in the end? And became a husband and wife?

In fact, Xinjie knows very well, how can four thousand years of people live until now? Heroes like Liyong can't escape life, old age, illness and death. Although professional mentors such as Disol and Lamerino in this country have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, they are only three or five hundred years old, four thousand years old, and no one has no bones.

"This monument should be erected by others for them."

Saber came forward to observe carefully and said so.

When Xinjie heard Saber's words, he nodded. From the line of words on the tombstone, it can be seen that the person who built the monument respects Yeka and Ashafu. So, how did Ashafu die? Who erected this monument for them? Xinjie even had the idea of digging the grave in an instant, but he knew that it was impossible after all.

Four thousand years, how can the tombstone erected 4,000 years ago exist for so long? Looking at the appearance of this stone tablet, it will look like a few decades at most.

It's just... Ashaf and Yeka, are they really dead?

When Xinjie thought of this, there was a strong throb in his heart, as if something in his heart had been torn. The pain did not come from the body, but from the depths of his heart.

"Xinjie, what's wrong with you?"

Saber immediately found something wrong with Xinjie. Xinjie, who had always been calm, covered his chest and slowly sat down. It didn't look like a normal Xinjie.

"I...so heartbroken."

After Xinjie reluctantly said this sentence, suddenly a heartbreaking pain came from the depths of his heart. He couldn't stand it any more. He hummed directly and fainted.

......

Night.

Countless pearls in the sky are sprinkled on the jasper plate. The stars and the full moon illuminate the whole starry sky, and also sprinkle a layer of silver frost on the earth.

A long sigh came from the quiet night, which was slightly abrupt.

Xinjie sat alone on the bench by the tree and stared at a couple who were hugged each other not far away. The sigh just came from him.
