Wu Lie, inside the yurt, didn't keep Alvin waiting long...
When Wu Lie walked out of the yurt with a grave expression and came to stand beside Alvin...
Seeing the sadness and helplessness on Wu Lie's face, Aisopan suddenly burst into tears...
Alvin realized something was wrong. He looked at Wu Lie in disbelief. "Why?
Did my method not work?
Are Dragon Bone and their so-called 'Eagle Pearl' not the same thing?"
Wu Lie shook his head, tears streaming down his face. Looking at the still lake before him, he said miserably, "Old Gesang said this is his Fate!
He said he'd been waiting for this day to come...
Old Gesang said he'd received the Eagle God's call and fulfilled the Eagle God's charge!
Now it's time for him and his Divine Eagle to rest!"
As he spoke, Wu Lie looked at Aisopan, who was crouched on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. He hesitated, then said, "Old Gesang said the Divine Eagle will carry his body to the place he most wants to go...
And you'll be the next messenger of the Eagle God...
He said he was sorry to leave you all alone...
Because he wants to go see Jema. He's been late for far too long!"
Alvin's reaction was unexpectedly calm...
Because at that moment, his Mind was at peace. He felt none of the helplessness he might have expected in the face of life's impermanence, nor did he disapprove of the old man's stubborn nature...
The Snow Region was a magical place. Its people were generally devout in their faith.
That devout faith shaped their simple nature and their intense emotions!
Whether it was good to attribute everything to the gods, Alvin couldn't say...
Old Gesang had said, "It's time for me to rest"...
Those weren't the words
