The Mage's Legacy

A very short short story. The writing style is plain, and there are no twists and turns in the plot, but the tone is always filled with a touch of sadness. When I read the first chapter, I felt a complicated mood, and I had a vague idea of ​​what was going to happen. The narration from the first-person perspective is very unique and very clever. Because of the first-person perspective, I prefer the two characters of Adersus and Gauvermit. Although there is obviously not too much image creation, I feel that the two characters are very vivid. The whole text has no precise intention, and there are not too many supporting characters and plot points. Perhaps it is just to explore what love is? The whole text uses two gold coins and love as clues. The protagonist's emotional line is not obvious and a bit hazy, but it is also written in a unique way. I've always been a person who loves things for a long time, and this kind of feeling that gradually heats up in daily life is very suitable to me. Perhaps the reversal and contrast make this article more touching. In the end, the youthful emotions could not be expressed. We don't know whether it was love or dependence. It just became a regret that disturbed people's hearts. Like a cup of coffee, mellow, bitter, and endless aftertaste. This ending may or may not be satisfactory, it may be a good ending or it may be a bad ending. This goes back to the question, what is love? It's just that love is selfish, not free and imprisoned. This sentence impressed me deeply. Love may be a cage, which not only imprisons the other person, but also imprisons oneself. The author did not leave a foregone conclusion, allowing us to think more when reading. The mage's legacy may only be two gold coins, a legacy that took a hundred years to obtain...

The capital writing is so charming! Everything has a trace, and everything stands across the barrier of life and death? Relief is mixed with distorted love and resentment. The living and the dead have different but similar obsessions, but in the end they are unable to embrace again, unable to personally take over the two gold coins lent when they were young??

Absolutely, I knew he was not a fool

Wow, ah, you are a black heart from the inside out, Godfrey Meed.

Mature writing, a very sad and touching story, some lovely descriptions, single-perspective suspense and deep affection hidden in the corner. Perfect story.

It looks good and tastes right, but it's gone. Damn it, can I have more?

We missed each other for so many years, but it's great to be together in the end

I like it, I'll give it a second try. There are two details that may be slightly contradictory. For example, the carpet in the attic was bought by the protagonist, because the protagonist's aesthetics and choices are improving the lives of his roommates. However, in the final memory, the protagonist said that the carpet was bought by his roommates and that he could never find such a good carpet again. In another case, the protagonist said that he brought a few books with him when he fled, but later recalled that he took his roommate's clothes with him and took the time to go to the bathhouse to change. According to the description, he did not bring any books. In fact, it feels like it is not a bug at all, but rather a narrative disguise... The front is fake, and the back is real. The real sadness is only when the protagonist has to face loss, and the truth and real scenes are forced to admit by the protagonist. Including never saying love directly, but every choice is love. Even after being killed, he said "I have no resentment towards him", "I lied, I hated him", "In fact, I have always loved him". Wonderful article.

The ending made me even more sad [split]

I like this kind of literary and artistic Western fantasy with a bit of a translation accent. It's like reading a classic, hahahahaha
