Two-dimensional Wanderer

Chapter 11 Seventeen Beasts

The tallest building on Island No. 28 is the clock tower in the center of the city, but William took Kodori abruptly from noon to dusk before reaching the destination.Along the way, I watched street performances, bought small gifts, and experienced the farce of accidentally breaking into Miss Hamster's bathroom and accidentally falling into the chicken coop. It can be said to be twists and turns, which is impressive.

2B said worriedly: "When did William become a lunatic? After this set, Miss Kodori's favorability has been improved a lot, at least to the level of three and a half hearts. On the other hand, her master..."

Xiaona was squatting with a group of children, with snacks bought on the roadside in her mouth, exaggerated admiration at the performance of the street performer, and kept clapping her hands, without any sense of crisis at all.

A2 curled the corners of his mouth: "Idiot master."

……

On the top of the bell tower, the entire city can be seen in a twilight, the vast sky is in the distance, and there are more than a dozen continents floating in the air, like small islands in the ocean.

"So, this is what you want to see?" William asked.

"Well." Kodori said with a smile: "Although I have seen the floating island from the airship, I have never seen it from the city."

William shrugged in confusion: "What's the point?"

Kodori stroked her hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Just to... leave good memories."

William looked at the girl. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she was almost exactly the same as a human being, she was definitely not a human being. It was probably just some kind of special demihuman.

Although he was a little concerned, William was not an extrovert, and he was used to restraining his emotions.

"Thank you so much today for letting me experience so many beautiful things." Kodori smiled and thanked.

"No, that's nothing, and it also wastes a lot of time because I'm not familiar with the terrain." After William finished speaking, he glanced at the stairwell of the clock tower, where stood a sturdy Lizardman officer and two musketeers. cat family pvt.

"Are these people here to pick you up?"

Ke Duoli nodded: "I have left a good memory like a dream, but the time has come. Finally, there is one more wish. If you can remember me, I will be very happy."

What is this weird request?

William said that old people like me don't really understand your young people's meme.

Kodori left with the Lizardman officer, and she could still hear her farewell to Xiaona.

"Miss Xiaona, Miss 2B, Miss A2, thank you for your company, goodbye."

"Oh, are you leaving? I also have something to do here. I'll go and play with you when I'm done."

Ke Duoli smiled awkwardly. She was not staying in a place that ordinary people could go to, but facing Xiaona's "innocent" smiling face, she still couldn't refuse: "Well, I look forward to your visit."

"Don't worry, I will bring a present!" Xiaona smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Kodori left, Xiaona stretched and shouted to William, "Let's go, I still have an appointment, and it's more than six hours late."

"Uh, are you sure the person you're dating hasn't left yet?" William looked confused, six hours can no longer be classified as being late. In the popular language of humans 500 years ago, this should be called releasing pigeons.

"Don't worry, she can stay all day with wine."

……

The tavern in the dark alley is not a high-end place, but its price is close to the people, so it is also very popular.

William froze.

"what happened?"

"The person I dated is also here."

"Isn't that just right?"

"No, he should have left at this time, and I'll find another opportunity to apologize later."

"Oh." Xiaona responded and pushed open the door of the tavern.

A burst of heavy alcohol smell rushed towards his face, as if the wine in the entire tavern was spilled, and William could not help but take a step back.He did not drink alcohol 500 years ago, and it was in the world 500 years later that he fell in love with this drink.Getting drunk can make him forget a lot, although the next day's hangover makes him want to die.

There were a lot of people lying around in the tavern, just like the scene of a murder under the dimly lit lights.William was startled, and quickly became on guard: "Is it a robber attack?" He subconsciously reached out to his waist, but he felt empty. Desperate homeless.

"Relax." Xiaona said, "Everyone is just drunk."

"Drink... Drunk?" William twitched the corners of his mouth. The whole tavern was drunk at the same time. Could it be that today is a festival worthy of carnival?

Following Xiaona into the tavern, he discovered that there was another person sitting in front of the bar. Judging from her physique, it should be a woman, with long black hair reaching her waist, which looked like jet-black satin under the reflection of the light.

Xiaona sat next to the man: "Is the wine here good?"

"It's very special, probably because of the unique craftsmanship of these furry guys." The black-haired woman replied: "And compared to humans, these guys are surprisingly simple, and they are very good drinking friends."

"Well, as long as you are happy." Xiaona waved to William: "Don't be in a daze, come here."

The person who can sit side by side with Mrs. Xiaona must be the existence of the "same class", William swallowed, walked over a little nervously, and said respectfully: "Hello, I am William Kemeixiu, see you. You are very honored."

"Oh, you are William. Just happened to have something here for you. The guy with the horns on his head asked me to pass it on to you." The black-haired woman pointed to a "corpse" in the corner and threw it to William. Letter with lacquer.

William recognized the corpse as his friend Glick, who he had arranged to meet today.However, judging from the current state, the other party has obviously lost the possibility of communication.

"he is……?"

"Don't worry." The black-haired woman turned her head: "He's just drunk, he'll be fine after a day's sleep... maybe two days."

Only then did William see the appearance of the black-haired woman, and was surprised to find that the other party was seven or eight similar to Lady Xiaona, and the biggest difference was the color of the hair.

"Uh, are you Xiaona's sister?"

Although both of them are very young, the maturity and experience of the black-haired woman are far beyond that of Xiaona, just like he still maintains the appearance of the past, but he is already an antique over 500 years old in his bones.

"Pfft!" Xiaona couldn't help laughing out loud. She put her arms around the black-haired woman's shoulder and said, "What sister, this is my dad!"

"Eh?!" William was completely dumbfounded. This sentence was so unexpected that he didn't know where to start. Thousands of words were finally turned into one sentence: Your gods really know how to play...

5 minutes later.

"Master Yingluo, I'm sorry I was rude just now!" William was a little nervous, and he became like this after learning the identity of this person.The founder and founder of the entire order pantheon, this is probably the king of the gods.No, I heard that the gods are now led by this elder daughter, who is the real sister of Lord Xiaona, and this should be the supreme emperor of the gods.In the novel 500 years ago, it is definitely the kind of hidden character who sings the whole story but only comes out in the last chapter to pretend to save the scene.

But speaking of it, is Lady Xiaona actually the royal family among the gods?It's really unbelievable.

"Hey, I always feel like you're thinking of something rude." Xiaona squatted on the chair and said with a grilled fish in her mouth.

The intuition of the gods was still just as terrifying, and William quickly shook his head to throw away the thoughts in his mind.

Yingluo smiled at William: "Don't be nervous, you are Xiaona's friend, and you can be regarded as a half of the god of order. I came to you this time, originally I wanted you to do me a favor, but from the current situation Look, both the world and you are very different from our expectations."

Xiaona said while drinking the soup, "Yeah, didn't I get everything done before I left? In this way, you all ended up being completely wiped out, it's a shame for me! Are you still a star god? They I shouldn't have the ability to take humans out of the pot."

William shook his head and said with a wry smile: "For all reasons, I withdrew from the battle with the Star God in advance, but according to what I understand, it is not them who wiped out the human race."

"Who is that?"

"Seventeen beasts!"

"What the hell?"

"Seventeen strange creatures with powerful power, collectively called 'beasts'! They appeared near the capital of the empire 500 years ago, killing life and destroying everything. The brave system and mass-produced holy sword established by humans are vulnerable to them In just one year, human beings will be completely extinct."

Chapter 12 Mr. Custodian

"Mr. Black Candle, Lord Xiaona, do you still remember?" William asked.

"Well, let me think about it..." Xiaona thought for a while, and then asked tentatively, "That little skeleton?"

The corner of William's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "In your eyes, it may be a harmless little skeleton, but to us...forget it, that's not important. At that time, my team was wiped out, and only I was left One person, in order to defeat Lord Black Candle, I used seven consecutive curses to subjugate the country. Although I won the victory, I was also petrified due to backlash. I have been sleeping underground for more than 500 years. found me, and removed my petrification."

"The salvage team?"

"It's a team that goes to the ground to search for and collect treasures, probably a collection of expedition teams and mercenary teams."

"Speaking of the ground... What's going on with these floating islands? It's obviously not the level of technology these furry guys should have."

"It is said to be the means of a guy called a great sage, but his status is high, and people like me are not qualified to meet him."

"It's really useless." Xiaona pouted and said: "Apart from the matter of Lord Black Candle, the salvage team, the floating island and the great sage should be well-known information, you wake up for so long, there is no Are you going to find out the truth?"

William was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help."

Xiaona scratched her hair in displeasure: "It's been 500 years, and your character has not changed at all. I really don't know how Lilia fell in love with you back then."

William smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.

"You feel guilty." Yingluo said suddenly: "It is a dereliction of duty to be a hero and fail to save the world; it is a shame that all human beings have been exterminated, but you are the only one who survived. You cannot allow yourself to be happy, so you are here Are you trying to punish yourself as an atonement on this island that is discriminatory and unscrupulous?"

"Did you... see it?"

"Well, I see." Yingluo replied: "I have seen many people like you, who also deeply blamed themselves for various regrets, self-punished and self-exiled countless."

"What are they... like?" William's tone was a little excited. He was in a state of confusion and desperately needed answers. Someone else's experience might be a good choice.

"It's no different from before." Yingluo said with a smile: "You will still help when you encounter injustice, and you will feel empathy when you encounter sadness, just like you didn't hesitate to save the girl named Kodori today. The spirit of the brave has long been engraved in your bones. As time went on, they made friends and partners again, and once again found what they wanted to protect."

"Do you want something to protect?" William smiled bitterly: "They may be able to, but what I want to protect... is gone."

"Then find another one." Yingluo said: "Since you can survive the events of the year, then there must be something you need to do. It may be revenge on the seventeen beasts, or it may be to reproduce human beings. The glory of the world, or the inheritance of human knowledge, but no matter what, it should not be used as a coolie in the market."

"Is it something I can accomplish?" William clenched his fists: "I probably understand a little bit."

"Very good. Before you find your target, let me give you a target."

"Yes, please tell me!"

"It's like this..." Yingluo described the purpose of this visit, and then took out the feather of listening and put it on the table: "Are you willing to take this responsibility? Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you refuse."

"No, I choose to accept it." William picked up the feather of listening: "Although I am a half-hearted, I am still a brave man, and it is my duty to protect this world!"

Yingluo smiled: "So what you want to protect is always there, isn't it?"

William also laughed, his expression relaxed a lot.

"And you are no longer a half-hearted hero." Xiaona suddenly said: "The Brave Association stipulates that a hero must have the experience of having his relatives killed, the village destroyed, and the country destroyed. In the past, you could not become an official without these conditions. The hero, but now you are much more unlucky than those, the entire race has been destroyed, if you are more miserable, you are completely invincible in the world, and you can advance to the hero without any pressure!"

William didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If it's possible, I don't want this kind of invincibility in the world. I'm more like the half-assed person I used to be. I don't know why the association has set such a strange rule, and now no one can handle the transfer procedures for me. "

Yingluo shook his head. In fact, this kind of regulation is not surprising.From a mortal point of view, those who can recover from the blow of grief and pain have greater endurance and perseverance, which is undoubtedly a necessary condition for success.From a higher level of rules, these people are burdened with many cause and effect and expectations, and are qualified to create miracles.

Of course, the Brave Association can't see such a deep thing. It is probably based on the experience accumulated for a long time. This rule is really amazing for mortals. God is mad.

According to Xiaona, those star gods have the ability to move between galaxies, at least much stronger than the gods of order and forest masters in the Snowman Continent. Humans in this world can fight against them with mortal bodies and have the upper hand. , this combat power is simply against the sky.In a world dominated by technology, tearing Gundam or something is probably just a warm-up activity for them. It is estimated that it is normal to cut a star cruiser with a sword.

But even such a powerful human being went extinct within a year, which made Ying Luo couldn't help but become interested in those "Seventeen Beasts".

On the other side, William has merged the feather of listening, and a ball of light appears in Xiaona's palm, which is the mirror image of this world.
