Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

'King Faro was a truly beloved king, more beloved by the people than any other king of the kingdom in the past, and he said that whoever possessed the power of a king could take his place. ’

Zwei once said of Emer.

And now, this legendary figure was in front of Emel at this moment, and he had thought that the distance was close at this moment.

In the gold-adorned palace, the image of King Faro is naturally one with Huang Finance, he is the representative of gold, and existence itself is a symbol of nobility.

King Faro looked down on everything with the posture of an emperor, and his old face could not hide the sharpness in his eyes, he could see everything, whether it was the ugliness of human nature or the dark side that everyone could hide, it could not escape his insight.

The wisdom of King Faro created a law for the kingdom, which could regulate almost every two million people in the country, and once this law was implemented, the kingdom went from unregulated to orderly with a speed visible to the naked eye, and it included a just judgment on all crimes, which could almost be called a miracle.

If the Imperial Kingdom is a machine that runs on gears, then King Faro is a huge gear in the center, all the gears run by him, and this most important gear never rusts, never stops, everything is for the country.

This is the real king.

At this moment, Emel felt that the distance between him and the king of Faro, or rather his distance from the true king, was like the bottom of the abyss and the top of the sky, and he had nothing but bravery in a moment of crisis.

"I finally see you", King Faro slowly walked down from the high platform, his steps were steady, and his tone was as haughty as his image, but despite this, his aura did not make people feel the slightest fear, "'Magister' Arthas, son of Emer", he walked slowly in front of Emer, his sharp eyes were a little more gentle, "The 'king' recognized by the 'catalog'." "

What kind of eyes are that?

In an instant, Emel could see a variety of emotions in his eyes, including tenderness, longing, nostalgia, and hope, and he could also find a familiar feeling in the aura emanating from King Faro, which was hidden in the depths of Emer's memories, from his adoptive father 'Arthas', and because of this, he could be sure that the last holder of the 'catalogue' in his hand was the King of Faro in front of him.

Emer knelt down unconsciously and said respectfully, "King Faro." "

"There is no need for red tape, I am already in the past, you are now," said King Faro, helping Emel to his feet, "You don't seem to have the 'catalogue' with you." "

Emer bowed his head in shame, his inferiority complex was stronger than ever in the face of Queen Faro.

"I'm sorry, I lost the 'Catalog' and should have returned the 'Catalog' to you. "

"It seems that you don't know anything", King Faro smiled with satisfaction, and pointed to the chair to Emel and motioned for him to sit down and talk, but he did not sit back on the throne that belonged to him, but sat on the chair directly opposite Emer, "Amazing, for nearly ten years, you have not been tempted by the 'catalog', so as to seek news about the 'catalog', it is inevitable that you will be 'recognized', and it seems that it is also an inevitable thing that I will not be recognized by the 'catalog'." "

This is not a noble character that is not tempted, only Emel knows that it is only because of his fear of the unknown that he does not want to touch any news about the 'catalog'.

Despite this, Emer was still taken aback when he heard that King Faro was not recognized by the 'Catalog', and he jumped up instantly, he didn't understand why he was qualified to be recognized if the real king in front of him was not recognized by the 'Catalog'.

"How is this possible without being recognized? You are the real king. "

"Not for a long time", as if laughing at himself, King Faro smiled, "The moment I really realized that I couldn't defeat the Chosen One, I had already lost the qualification to be king, and as for the current position, it was just a misuse, the Chosen One...", King Faro raised his head and said to himself as if reminiscing about the past, "When the catalogue was compiled, the compiler of the catalogue handed it into my hands, and he told me that the 'catalogue' had power, and thought that I had it at that time It's a pity that I was too arrogant at the time, and by the second time I came into contact with this 'catalog', I was no longer recognized by the catalog, so I handed it over to Alsace and asked him to find the real 'king'. "

King Faro then turned his face back at Emer, and he pointed at him, as if he intended to pass on his throne to Emer, if Emel could imitate King Faro's gesture.

But Emer, on the other hand, bowed his head after facing that finger, and never had the courage to take on this great responsibility.

Only then did King Faro realize that although Emel had been recognized by the 'Catalogue', there were still three walls between him and the true king, the first was the confusion of the road ahead, the second was the inability to see himself, and the third wall, and the thickest side, was his resistance to fate.

"The compiler of the catalogue told me that he gave a title to all those who decided to take on the catalogue, the lost, for those who are recognized by the 'catalogue', the lost is the essence, and after the loss, the real 'lost', the 'catalogue' is a blessing or a curse, he did not explain, but he clearly said that even if the chosen ones who have the 'catalogue' come to an end, there is still more than one road in front of him, this is the golden advice left by the compiler of the 'catalogue' to the holders. "

The lost must be lost, which means that after being recognized by the directory for the first time, the person who is recognized by the 'directory' will truly become the lost and embark on a path to find himself until he finds his true self.

This message was immediately perceived by Emer, who realized that he had come to the path of finding himself, which he had been walking on since he had accidentally opened the box ten years earlier.

"Can you tell me more about the catalog?"

"I would like to say a little more to you, but that's all I know, and you might as well ask Alsace that he will accompany the compiler of the catalogue as he searches the world for a 'natural choice' that suits the catalogue. "

"Father, he... I haven't seen him in 10 years, and he says that he will be reunited with me the moment I actually own the catalog, and "I probably understand what he says now." "

"By the way, the compiler of the catalogue is called Van Zhelin, and I have some blood relationship with him", King Faro suddenly smiled, as if he was smiling happily when he thought of something happy, "Okay, that's all for the topic of the lost, I just thought of a funny thing, you were repaired by Shree Go." "

Emer smiled embarrassedly and responded, "It's miserable, but... I have to say that the results are good. "

King Faro agreed with Emer's words, and at the same time praised Slay Gosho: "Shilai Gosho is a rare talent, except for some flaws in his character, I fancy his ability, and promoted him from a minor nobleman to his current position, although at this stage he is still used as a shield by those who have bad intentions, but I believe that it will not be long before he can trample those nobles under his feet, and if it were not for your appearance, he would still be in a priority position among the three I fancie." "

I don't know if it was Emer's delusion for a moment, he seemed to feel that King Faro was a little repulsed by him, and he didn't want to take it as if he didn't feel it, so he asked directly: "You seem to be complaining about me." "

"The 'Chosen One' suddenly appeared in front of me, disrupting all my plans and preventing me from complaining?" "In the midst of the conversation, King Faro completely put down his position as a king, and the small talk between him and Emel now looked more like a greeting between elders and juniors, "Or do you not believe that you are the 'Chosen One' at all?"

Emer shook his head, slowly speaking out what he knew about the word 'Chosen One'.

"To be honest, I would have liked to have taken all this as luck, I was blown unconscious by the blast wave of the boulder, and then I picked up a life under the corpse, and then I happened to meet an enemy that I could deal with, and I was saved twice by the same person, it would be too cruel for them if I didn't take this as luck", Hearing this, King Faro laughed even louder, which couldn't help but make Emel look puzzled, "Did my words make you laugh?".

"No, your words are not ridiculous, but I just remembered some things from the past and thought I was ridiculous", King Faro noticed that the time of small talk between the two was almost over, so he began to explain the last thing, "The war will soon be over, and Lester will be going to sweep the battlefield in the next two days, so you don't need to think about returning to the battlefield anymore, now all you need to do is to marry my youngest daughter, Jenfer Faro, and change from Emel to Emel Faro." "

Emer wanted to refuse this sudden offer, but when King Faro noticed his refusal, he immediately interrupted him, and spoke in a strong tone as if everything was planned.

"It seems that you have also heard the rumors of Jenfer, I am so ashamed, although I am my favorite youngest daughter, but like a man, she has a fierce and arrogant personality, as long as there is a spear, even ten soldiers can't help her, if I want to succeed to you, you only have this one option, my eldest daughter married Rest, the second daughter died at an early age, and only the youngest daughter Jenfer is left. "

"But I don't want to be king. "

Emer never wanted to be a king, even if he was nominated for the 'king' directory, he just wanted to be an ordinary person, and when the war came, he wanted to be a lumberjack in the town of Lalheim, and when the war came, he would become a small pawn in the army.

"It's not something you don't have to bear if you don't want to, the moment you are selected by the 'catalog', your fate is firmly engraved in the content of the 'catalog'", as if a rather regretful admonition, King Faro stood up and patted Emel on the shoulder, "Just treat this as a game, people can't choose their own destiny, but the catalog clearly tells you the end of your destiny, what kind of person you are." "

When the time came, the attendant outside the door knocked on the door, and after obtaining permission from King Faro, he walked in to take Emel away.

Is everything already predestined, is this the so-called fate?

Emer thought to himself.

From the bottom of his heart, he believed that he was not qualified, that he did not have a flexible mind or the ability to do things easily, that he could not see any good in himself, and that a strong sense of inferiority welled up in his heart.

"Actually, you still have a choice, Emer, if you haven't decided to bear this fate, try to spy on your own end across the river of time", following the last admonition, Emel turned around, only to see a thought-provoking expression on King Faro's face.

"What a miserable life it must be?"
