【Dark Souls】The Story of the Nameless
Chapter 2: Bell 2
The posture remained the same, and the sitting body did not move at all, like a stone sculpture.Is she still alive? ...What if I let her out?After thinking and thinking, in the end, I still haven't made any resolutions.
Not long after, after some rectification, I embarked on the journey again.But now the question arises: where do I go first?It's a good idea to go down, but no one seems to want to fight with me for the right to ring the bell... so why don't you just look around, there are still many places that have not been visited.Ringing the bell, it won't be too late for me to figure out Rodland's appearance. After all, the clock will always be there, and I can't run if I want to. Moreover, even if someone arrives at the bell of awakening one step earlier than me, it doesn't matter. There's nothing to argue about anyway.
Take it slow this time.
1 - Adventure
※Between the Rhodeland anecdote and the Chronicle of the Black Forest, one of those passages that disappeared into the mist.
life is a dream, death
But sleep?
The size of Rodland cannot be described in a few words.I am very curious about how far I can go here and what I can see, but aimlessness is never a good thing. I want to explore and travel in a direction, and use these eyes to understand the true face of Rodland—— Therefore, I decided to set off to explore the large and small relics scattered in Rhodeland.
First of all, I decided to go to Guifulongde first.According to Petrus, according to the literature, it is said that the Kingdom of Midnight is located in the far west of the parish, behind the cliff tomb, roughly sixty miles away from the sacrificial site; Yuannit, the residents there are silent and indifferent, and the folk customs advocate necromancy. They are born as magicians and die as servants of death. Therefore, the human kingdoms of ancient Rhodeland are always full of fear of Gui Fulunde, fearing that their corpses will be killed. Become the other party's experiment.Petrus especially emphasized that those people controlled the channels of dialogue with the dead. Gui Fulongde desecrated death and disturbed people's peace in the name of Nit. In the end, they finally angered their masters, and the disaster of national subjugation was inevitable. .
Sounds plausible, but legends always have to be played in half to count.
The weather remained unchanged on the way to Guifulonde.The sun is high and the sky is bright, but Rhodeland has always been like this. Time never passes here. It is beautiful and empty, frozen in color like a painting.After passing countless cliffs, the scenery in front of me remains the same, a thousand-foot-high broken valley, green to black moss, and occasionally a few dry shrubs and miscellaneous trees cut through the wall. It's unbearable to tremble.I was a little scared, and even a little regretful. After all, going to the country of the dead would not allow me to gain any useful new discoveries, and it was meaningless to fight for my life in a dangerous situation... But there is one thing that keeps me thinking about death.Death, I want to know something about it, but what?Maybe when we get there, we will understand.
After turning a few more narrow paths leading to the inland, the road gradually widened. Although there were still many mountains in the distance, I saw a torch stand standing in the road. Its existence added a lot of color to the environment, and I felt No matter how many mountains there are, they can be exhausted.As soon as the torch was passed——In an instant, dusk struck; after a few hundred feet, a huge archway was isolated in the distance, behind it was pitch black, like midnight, and there were a few sparks flickering in the night, and the light was faint It shows the appearance of the house and the mountain wall.That was Grievrond, the land of death and silence.
It's less than a mile from day to midnight, and it seems the only time here is distance... I guess every place has its own time zone, and Gwynfrond is night, eternal darkness.It is like a large mausoleum, the houses spread from the ground to the mountain wall, the houses are thick and solemn, like a coffin, the city is barren, dry, cold, and no grass grows; I stood in front of the arch for a long time, hesitating around the only weed pile , It takes a little courage to go in there, but I don't know what the end of the bravery will be.
"New job, silly boy."
Work... Phantom, what are you trying to tell me?
"The duke is recruiting a guardian. This kind of good case doesn't happen anytime!"
... a vigil?Keeping the spirit... Yes, senior, we went to be the keepers together.Is this what I'm thinking about? ... Alas, memory, I am always led by the nose by you.How about knowing the past?I live here, dignified and upright!I! ...
...I really shouldn't be here.
Visiting Guifulonde is not a good idea.
I reluctantly lingered outside for a while, trying to see if there was any remaining fire to prove that I still had a reason to set foot in it, but there was no campfire here, and the lanterns hanging high on the wall were just some will-o'-the-wisps; this place Completely dead, Guifulongde City at this time is just a shell, the intact floor tiles and houses are full of dust, like an old warehouse that no one has visited for many years, and there is not even a trace of the activities that once existed.
This reminds me of what Petrus said-Gui Fulongde's perdition is to fall into the abyss and never be peaceful-maybe its end is just like this, and those shadows can only linger in the wreckage There is no kingdom, those things don't mutter to themselves like living corpses, like off-line puppets, shadows just live in history, without emotion or consciousness.
Not long after, I continued my journey inland with the lanterns of the city.Through a few narrow alleys, avoiding the central city and places that may be downtown, I went east along the ancient landmarks; coming from the west and going east, the mountain wall gradually dissipated, and the old trees beside the driveway gradually faded away. As it grows stronger, the dark night also changes accordingly. After the next torch stand, the morning light suddenly emerges. It is black and dark, bitingly cold, and the fog and dew make the surroundings full of dangers; this road is not a good place for walking. But I walked without hesitation. After all, this road is long like this. It is neither forked nor flat. It is hard for me to imagine what kind of abyss and dead end it will lead to.
Everything is good, the only disadvantage of this road is that there are many enemies, like a swarm of flies.Most of those monsters were turned into living corpses, and a few of them were undead turned into living corpses, but it was relatively easy to deal with.Occasionally, I would find the wreckage of some cargo vehicles. Among them, a relatively complete vehicle contained some documents in addition to corpses and cargo residues. The documents were written in words I could not understand, and the recipients were unknown Who, and the goods on the car have already been looted, the leftover boxes are scattered, and the cups and plates are messed up.Judging from the direction of the front of the carriage, this carriage should have left Gui Fulongde, maybe it was for escape, or it might just be a business traveler, I think the latter is more likely, because there are not many people left on the carriage Personal belongings.
The hours of heaven do not shorten with my distance, and I think I am walking in circles on the edge.After a few miles, the road suddenly cut off, and a river valley cut the path on both banks. The valley was as wide as four horses' bodies, but a wild path opened in the bushes next to it, although I don't think it can be detoured back. The original main road, but it doesn't hurt to explore.Senior, you must be very envious of me having the opportunity to take risks here, right?I can tell that you don't miss any chance to see something new... But you have to be grateful that you don't have to wander alone in the undead, there are good and bad in all this, and so far I think the bad still accounts for a little upper hand.
Though the sky was still as thick as ink, stars began to appear in the darkness.I moved my body to a place with fewer branches and observed carefully, and the one or two nameless stars were placed in the sky, which looked very unique; after walking a few steps, the light spots multiplied until I saw the first leaf When hanging on the branches, the galaxy has also traversed the night.
It's so weird... I found a stone and sat down, resting my body on the big sword and looking up.I wondered if I had ever seen so many stars, and how many of them could I recognize.The teacher once taught me some astronomy knowledge, but... yes, there was a teacher, an elder magician who taught me to read and write. He taught me all kinds of things, including astronomy, but I still can't remember those things. Hype noun.Learning is very interesting, but some things really depend on talent. Sometimes I really envy the teacher who can stuff so many things in his head. Isn't he crazy?
... Enough is enough.
The longer I go, the dimmer the light in my hand becomes. I think the fire source of the lantern is the soul... Then why not use my soul as the light source?
Well, it was bright again, as bright as moonlight.
I don't know where I'm going, the mud path under my feet takes me to a certain time and direction; the surrounding humidity suddenly increases, green moss spreads, the old trees on both sides of the wild path are replaced by towering black forests, everywhere Mushrooms and ferns were visible, but I still didn't see half a normal creature living here, except cursed beasts.Suddenly, a silver light pierced my eyes sorely. I thought I had added too much soul to the lantern, but when I saw the light spots on the ground, I realized that there was an extra round of bright moon in the sky.Rodland's moonlight may be even more dazzling than the world, its light is like a knife, making people hard to guard against.
("friend.")
Hallucination?No, it's a real voice.
("Traveling alone?")
He spoke again.Following the sound, I saw a man in a different travel suit standing dozens of feet away.I asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
"I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm just lost," replied the traveler.
"Don't worry, go from here. After a short walk, you will see the road leading to Guifulonde." I looked behind.
"That ghost town? How did you get out of there alive?"
I half-raised the lantern to show him the brass and glass chandelier. "As long as you don't go too far, I think it's pretty friendly to the living."
"It's so brave... Maybe you can take me there to see and see. I've heard of Gui Fulunde, but the reputation there has always been bad... Although I am an undead person, I am allergic to death, especially undead and Necromancy, those things are too deadly...but since you can get through safely, I think you may be able to take me out of there safely."
"Sorry, I don't really want to waste time going back the way... Is there anything ahead?" I asked.
The traveler looked back at the depths of the wild path, and then replied: "I'm not sure, but roughly speaking, it's a forest. I don't know where I will go after half a circle."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"God knows how I got here?"
I don't trust a stranger who has something to hide. "I'm sorry, you can go alone. The light will show you, after all, there will be no moonlight to open the road ahead."
"No!...I mean, please, I... at least take me back to the main road, kind man! Besides, it's not a good place to explore, it's a dark forest, and you never return. !"
"Do you think I'm a kind person?"
He was trembling. Although I couldn't see the traveler's appearance clearly, I felt that the traveler seemed nervous. "...I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth, to be honest... I was being chased. Because I stole something small."
"You don't have to be so scared if you walk faster."
"If I could walk faster... things would be much easier." He shuffled his left foot and walked in front of me, with rags wrapped around his leg, and the entire trouser leg was stained with dried blood.
"It's a good ending, remember not to steal next time."
"Oh, please, do me a favor!"
... Well, I'm really a poor person.But maybe...just help out once, idleness is idleness anyway.
I took the traveler back along the original road. Although we knew there was no time to procrastinate, the traveler's foot injury greatly affected the progress. Even if I made him a crutch as an aid, I couldn't speed it up... ...It seems that it will take a long time even to reach the galaxy area.
I don't know what trouble he got into. In a place like Rodland, what kind of trouble would he get into so that people can't let him go?If I let the other party know that I helped the traveler, will I not be able to move on?That's okay, anyway, I have plenty of places to go... Why don't I go back to the broken road later and cut down a tree to use as a bridge.I don't know where Guifulongde Avenue will lead to?It would be much easier with a map.I wish the undead merchant sold Rodland's map too.
"That's a good way to let a lame man walk ahead with a lamp." The traveler glanced back at me.
"I'll support you when you're unconscious."
"It's so kind... so you will help me block someone who is chasing you?"
"I'll put you in my hands."
"Soft-hearted, you wouldn't do that," the traveler gasped, and the tip of his stick dangled on the ground, "You are the kind of honest quack, a bunch of fools who will help you to the end."
"If you dare."
The traveler was silent for a while, then glanced at me quietly, as if he had a problem with the big sword on my back. "...You can at least guarantee that I can leave the midnight zone?"
"Don't worry, it was just a joke."
"... Hoho... Hahaha... It's funny, good acting. You're starting to bore me."
Seeing him walking so hard, I couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'll give you a little element."
"Oh? You have an element bottle? You have...but don't you know that elements cannot be shared?" As he spoke, he leaned against the tree trunk panting, "...unless you are willing to give it to others Me, otherwise I will never be able to touch the power of your bonfire... Phew... Phew... Damn Rodland..."
"It's so close, so romantic."
"...Damn sense of humor. Kind people, please let my ears go."
The moon is still bright and the trees are full of shadows. I don't remember that I have walked so many moonlight roads; I once suspected that travelers were leading me astray, but there are my footprints on the ground. I know this road is still correct, at least not Too far off...so, maybe the opposite is true and the forest is misleading us.The traveler's mood is unstable. He often asks me about the situation behind me, and asks how far we are from the main road, but what can I answer?I know no more than a traveler. If I can't leave the forest even by following the clues and turning back, then it's useless to know more.
At this time, I heard the sound of the distant stream, and the surrounding trees were no longer evergreen, tangled dwarf trees interlaced with straight tall trees, and the moonlight was also dimmed, replaced by stars and rivers.It seems that although I wasted a little time, I didn't go the wrong way... It's a pity that the uninvited guest has already come to the door.
The traveler's reaction was clever, he had special experience in avoiding danger and self-protection, he had already selected a hiding place long before the attack started, and before the sound of breaking wind appeared - we had already dodged behind the tree head respectively.The flying knife penetrated into the tree trunk, and the sound was thick and loud, without any rotation, and the blade went straight in. It is estimated that the maximum distance from the enemy soldiers was no more than twenty feet.There may be more than two people... er, headache at this time?It's as if something has interfered with my body... no, it's my world.
("Well-wishers,") the traveler hiding in another tree hid the lamp in his collar, and said, ("We're invaded. Can you deal with them? Those fellows, hunters... please, please don't Abandon me, I don't want to become a living corpse!")
"The price of guards is not cheap."
("No problem, I'll pay you!")
Who knows if it will be another coin or badge?Better not, stranger.
The enemy seemed to be unable to hold back their temper. They showed their steps, and the sound of two footsteps approached from a distance—suddenly, the sound evaporated.I can still feel the air on my skin, less than two steps away from our encounter, and although I can't judge the location, I know the enemy is still somewhere.
One more step, and they're still moving—no, there's some turbulence in the air...they're speeding up.Someone raised a weapon.
(—Hoo hoo!——Dang dong!)
I retreated out of attack range.This place is located at the junction of the moon and the galaxy, and my vision is almost completely black. I am facing two invisible opponents. Although their big knives failed to cut my body in half, if I don’t find a way quickly ...
(Clang, clang!)
The opponent attacked.Standard brute force, not very dexterous, the only thing worthy of praise is that they are fast enough and their positions are elusive.Not only is the opponent's figure empty, but even the weapon can only be seen insignificantly. Fortunately, the enemy is not a difficult opponent. He...is there only one person?another person is...
(—whoosh!)
right next to it.Ha, it's a good match, one point... Even so, you have already taken advantage, why haven't even one single person been solved yet?I don't want to hang around here for too long, and you guys aren't worth my time.I don't even have to play tricks, my friend, just put some effort into catching the blade and hitting back - good night, babes!
(Clang dong!...Penglong!)
I don't know if the undead can be revived after their bodies are cut in two. Just in case, I stepped forward and smashed their heads.But the crisis has not yet been resolved, and the pain lingering in his mind has not subsided. If this is the invasion mentioned by the traveler, there may be a few enemies hiding nearby.Where is the other party hiding?What's next for him?I waited with bated breath to see who would lose patience first.
The light of the lantern seeping from the traveler's clothes makes me sick, and my eyes are more difficult to adapt to the darkness than before; there is no sound on the broken road, no beasts and nocturnal birds, only insects in the eternal night, the sound is small and annoying, It makes the skin itchy.Where is he?where are theyHow long will this headache last?My body gradually became numb, the great sword in my hand melted into the air, the blood on my feet froze like ice...everything is against me.
—a mist exploded around my feet—poisonous gas?smoke bomb?In any case, I finally found the other party's position.in the rear right.
Several bursts of wind came across the sky, which caught people off guard. Although I tried to turn around and dodge like before, the result this time was not ideal; I felt two stabs in the abdomen, and the throwing knife penetrated very deep, and it might fall. On the lower left near the stomach.Never mind, this little injury...let's talk about it when it's over.
(Boom!)
The last enemy was the real mist, and I chopped off his head, but he didn't bleed, and his head was reduced to ashes before it even hit the ground.I think the other person is not a person, he may be just a ghost, but how can a ghost use a knife to hurt someone?It's so weird...
...!
(——clam!...)
It's you.I know, no surprise.But haven't you considered the possibility of a counterattack before you attack?Or do you think that my life is not long, and that I am only one blow away from it?
"...Dude, I never believed you." I said to the traveler lying on the ground.I wasn't expecting to hear him speak, but the sword didn't cut deep enough, only half the body, so we could still have a few words before he lost consciousness.
"Bad acting?" he asked.
"Just don't believe it."
"But you couldn't dodge the knife at all." The fallen lamplight illuminated the traveler's face, his lips were trembling, but his expression was calm.
"You're right. Why?"
"Admit it, you've softened your heart."
The roundabout just now caused the knife to cut open my waist. Although the pain was numb, I couldn't help but continue to take a deep breath. "... Phew... soft-hearted, really?"
"Ha, stupid! I see through you, good man, you're just blindly following your own stupidity! Arrogant and conceited, pretending to be a hero to save people from fire and water, but now you don't even dare to ask why I did it , you... you, you are... the big swamp monster?" I don't know why he lost his soul, maybe he mistook me for...some kind of evil thing, "heh, heh heh...you...I understand , I suddenly realized..."
"I'm not from the Great Swamp," I felt a little cold, I thought his dagger, or the throwing knife just now, had poison on it, "Do you have an antidote? I really need an antidote."
"...haha... you just... find... yourself... son of a bitch..."
"Thank you for your kindness, son of a bitch."
Finally, he died.
...how could I hold onto the unreasonable hope...to trust a stranger?Sure enough, not all of them are Astra knights or Solal, I should have known, even if I was dazzled by their image... No, this is the truth, I am really stupid, But I don't regret it... After all, there are so many people in the world, good and bad, can't be summed up in one word.
So cold.
(... Clang!)
... Phew... really tired.It's hard to live, isn't it?senior?
But what needs to be done is... the element?Why...how could...it doesn't work...
... huh huh huh huh
……call……
……
……
"Close your eyes and pretend you're dead."
I'm not dead yet.
"Shut up! Don't argue with us about this kind of thing!...don't...don't let our blood...be shed in vain...son of Fremimo..."
You are just pitying me, pity the little devil who can't even hold a spear well...
……you!
... Oh, I'm dreaming.
I returned from the battlefield of Fukaya to the galaxy of Lordland; the memory of the vision is vivid, the scene, the sound, the smell, everything is very vivid, but I just can't remember the faces of those old neighbors.Do the undead also dream?Forget it, since you are alive, don't worry about so much.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the hell I'll be able to do if I survive, travel?adventure?Or complete the mission?Besides, is the survival of the undead a kind of life?I'm not even a human at all—in retrospect, this body is already on the verge of its limit...but I didn't die.Ordinary people should have died a long time ago. They died of wound infection or excessive blood loss. They injured their abdomen and opened their waist again. How could they still be alive and kicking like this?But I still sit here, thinking wildly, my consciousness is clear and unimpeded.Can this be considered human?It is really unheard of for a human being to hold his own intestines and stumble under the tree.
Although, so what?That's the truth, the fact that people don't die... it just feels weird.Am I dead or alive?Am I awake, or am I asleep?
... like a fantasy, like a dream... seems real but not real.
After lighting the lamp again, I saw that the corpses on the ground had disappeared without a trace.No one moved them, those people just disappeared out of thin air, leaving nothing but a pool of blood, but the items I snatched are still there, and the herbs and sundries are still intact... It seems that they are in a different place than me. world.With so much involved, there is still nothing in the end; there are no enemies, no allies, and even passersby do not exist, this is not a human world, this place is lonely, and any encounter is worthless.
Solar, do you know all this?If you still regard yourself as a Sun Warrior, it means that you are still doing righteous deeds, but these righteous deeds have no object, let alone good or bad success or failure... Before I know it, I think of you, Solal, so you are considered Is this place still a man as dazzling as the sun?Although I question your beliefs and thoughts, after all, you are so out of place in Rhodeland, but I can feel it... It's really enviable. Although I have only met you once, your brilliance and enthusiasm make me unforgettable ;I believe that you have never given up, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks you encounter, you will stand firm and stick to your beliefs, just like your name-you are the sun, it is too difficult for you not to shine, hahaha...
……oh?My flame, the element has recovered!Haha... Finally... Solar, you are really my sun, I'd better read your name more in the future.
Solar bless, may your light shine forever.
After returning to the broken circuit, I immediately found an old tree on the bank that was suitable as a bridge.
The shape of the tree is many forks, but it is generally straight. Its bark is pleated and twisted, but its smooth texture is like a randomly kneaded cloth, and it is not easy to slip under the feet; It is surrounded by a long foot. This kind of tree is safe and stable when used as a bridge. The only disadvantage, but also the biggest advantage, is that it is as hard as a rock.Fortunately, the Gargoyle Ax was as strong as its owner. Although it was a little impolite to use it to chop down trees, Rhodeland's stone trees were treated with Rhodeland's magical things, which could be regarded as appropriate.
—The tree fell.
(... jika - touch rumbling!)
Congratulations, Guifu Longde Avenue is unimpeded again!Now, Guifrond, can you tell me where this road leads next?If I step on the air and fall into the river, will I be washed back to the world?
Ah, it would be great if you could speak, at least you can prove that this is not just my one-man show... If the mission refers to being guided by divine inspiration and divine power, and embarking on the road of seeking knowledge and exploration due to ancient prophecies, then you It's long overdue.The god of Rhodeland, the god of the city, or a heroic spirit, an old man, any word... Where are you?Where the hell were you all when I finally started to crave faith? ...Ah, damn it, I should have understood that there is nothing here, even believing in a Solar is more meaningful than singing your names.
This road is not practical, and it is more empty than all the previous paths.The old forest in Guifulonde is vast and boundless, and it is dark there; the dawn never breaks, and the day never sets, and the gap between day and night I walk is silent, lightless and shadowless.Eternity is the curse of Rodland, and the curse drives the living into confusion.
At some point, I was lost in another dark forest. The silver light in my hand could not see through the intertwined giant trees and tor rocks, and the neat stone and brick roads became fragmented. Only the mud in front of me guided me to the direction. Go deeper and further afield.
Although everything is so obvious, they tell me that the road does not lead, that Gui Fulunde leads nowhere, that the road ends with nothing but hopelessness; the dew sucks my warmth, and I am tired and cold, and I do not feel myself Why do my limbs move? If I go on like this, I may sink forever and turn into a living corpse... But I enjoy it, and the half-dream and half-awake state makes me feel comfortable.How good would it be if this were the end of the journey?Disappearing before I can remember anything more, lost in the endless forest... no, no!Not yet, I have promised the knight to help him complete his mission.
...No, that's not the knight's mission, that's mine... the meaning of my existence!
"Your mission? Meaning? Oh, blessed by the flame."
Who are you?You sound like a woman.
"Puppy, you have to listen to your own heart once in a while. The mission you mentioned...that's just a stupid delusion."
Delusional?Do you dare to say that the clock is too?I'm ringing the bell of awakening!The Great Clock of Immortals!
"Then why don't you think about it, why should the world favor you? Besides, how do you think you're really getting anything in return? Puppy, my stupid poor bastard, damned liar, you just took that name The glory of the knight, relying on no one knows, you can boldly declare that you are the chosen one, and your words and deeds are all righteous... Oh, poor, poor, my little dog, overwhelmed by miracles and glory Are you dizzy? You just knocked a broken clock... Do you really think you are a man of destiny?"
I will not be fooled, Phantom, you are a mere illusion...you are my test.
"Trial?...haha...hahahaha——!"
Don't laugh!
"Okay, as you wish...Shh, be careful not to wake up Mei Meng, murderer."
...you... who the hell are you?Why do you bother me by showing up again and again?
Heh, heh heh... I know, you guys are just... shameless.You guys are disappointed that I live here, right?Because I'm trusted...because I've got my destiny, you losers drive me crazy in the dark!
...Hehe...hahahaha——!Ah ha ha ha ha ha----!
—Shut up, shut up! ……Shut up……
...please...please...please let me go...let me...do something right, like a human being...give me a little more time, I will face it, face it all...but not now.I still have a lot of things to do.I lied, I didn't stay here for a mission; damn it, that wasn't my mission, it was a knight's!But I still want to do it... because of commitment, because of desire! ……no no!I am purely, those actions are purely to make me feel that I am still alive, living like a normal person!A flesh and blood... normal human... normal human!
Am I not worthy?Why?
Why take away my hope?
why?
……
……
why?
Uh... what am I doing here?
……
Yes, the forest.How long have I been walking here?
Thin light covered the sky, and although the forest was still dark, the world had entered morning; the sky was indigo and clear, and now pink and purple dyed flowers rose from the east, and I couldn't see more from under the trees, but I guess that the place farther away will be as pink as a peach, and fade away with the distance, and finally all the colors will be connected to the place where the rising sun is born.That was the real daybreak, and if I climbed the branches, I would be sure to catch a glimpse of the divine land in its glory.
——quickly, I put it into action.
The rough bark rubs against my half body and arms. Although the dew is icy cold, the heat generated by my body makes it cool and pleasant.Wood stumps scratching my palms, pain fermenting in fingertips, skin bruised from multiple slips, but it's all better than I imagined - it's like - like the reason I'm here s reason.
The trees are towering and towering, and there are many branches, but everything has an end after all.
...ah... the dawn of Rodland.I know that you are worthy of my journey.You're always there, right?
Now, let me see your true face... Please tell me whether this place is a dream or reality...
2 - House of Exiles
Death is not scary.Baijiao beliefs always say that death is the glory and the culmination of happiness. Once there were ups and downs in Chengtuo, Qingxue bid farewell to pain and joy, and the dead are gone, farewell to suffering; life is not to be feared, death is not to be regretted, and the end will be endless People can escape, and when the time is right, Nite, the Lord of Death, and his silent ladies will lead the souls of the living into the lake and into deep sleep.
Unless you are born worthless and worthless, death is just the beginning of peace, the eight sufferings and disasters have become illusory, and a lifetime of confusion has settled into stones and fallen deep into the lake.
The woods are wide, and may be a hundred miles long as far as the Great Gwynfullund; this place is early in the morning, and so is the whole world, even Gwyflund, but I still can't see it all--because it is far away. It was so far away that it was almost impossible to see.
Although the morning light was bright, the forest was still terrifyingly dark... Because the towering cliff at the end blocked the light, so even though it was morning, the sightlines were worse than dusk.It is possible that the huge rock wall next to the parish is the same mountain, and the shadow of the mountain wall stretches endlessly at this time, possibly all the way to the broken bridge, or even beyond, and there is no way to see the end of the shadow from the trees.How nice would it be if we could really get some sunshine?The world is always against me, even now.
The sky is clear and cloudless and the colors are bright. I can't imagine the scenery on the other side of the cliff. Maybe it will be the world's most magnificent scenery, but it may be as soon as you step over the cliff. Day, after all, there is only a thin line between fairyland and purgatory.Purgatory.I've heard the word, and it's said that nits throw dirty people into the far northern frontier, criminals, blasphemous, born worthless and worthless, they will all be washed in along the river of regret; heroes and Great people will go to the Hall of Valor, and mortals will enter the Lake of Forgetfulness through the Xihe River, and then sleep peacefully, and the rest will fall into the abyss of purgatory, where there is no god, no light, no salvation, forever and ever... In fact, as an undead Not bad either.
I mean
Not long after, after some rectification, I embarked on the journey again.But now the question arises: where do I go first?It's a good idea to go down, but no one seems to want to fight with me for the right to ring the bell... so why don't you just look around, there are still many places that have not been visited.Ringing the bell, it won't be too late for me to figure out Rodland's appearance. After all, the clock will always be there, and I can't run if I want to. Moreover, even if someone arrives at the bell of awakening one step earlier than me, it doesn't matter. There's nothing to argue about anyway.
Take it slow this time.
1 - Adventure
※Between the Rhodeland anecdote and the Chronicle of the Black Forest, one of those passages that disappeared into the mist.
life is a dream, death
But sleep?
The size of Rodland cannot be described in a few words.I am very curious about how far I can go here and what I can see, but aimlessness is never a good thing. I want to explore and travel in a direction, and use these eyes to understand the true face of Rodland—— Therefore, I decided to set off to explore the large and small relics scattered in Rhodeland.
First of all, I decided to go to Guifulongde first.According to Petrus, according to the literature, it is said that the Kingdom of Midnight is located in the far west of the parish, behind the cliff tomb, roughly sixty miles away from the sacrificial site; Yuannit, the residents there are silent and indifferent, and the folk customs advocate necromancy. They are born as magicians and die as servants of death. Therefore, the human kingdoms of ancient Rhodeland are always full of fear of Gui Fulunde, fearing that their corpses will be killed. Become the other party's experiment.Petrus especially emphasized that those people controlled the channels of dialogue with the dead. Gui Fulongde desecrated death and disturbed people's peace in the name of Nit. In the end, they finally angered their masters, and the disaster of national subjugation was inevitable. .
Sounds plausible, but legends always have to be played in half to count.
The weather remained unchanged on the way to Guifulonde.The sun is high and the sky is bright, but Rhodeland has always been like this. Time never passes here. It is beautiful and empty, frozen in color like a painting.After passing countless cliffs, the scenery in front of me remains the same, a thousand-foot-high broken valley, green to black moss, and occasionally a few dry shrubs and miscellaneous trees cut through the wall. It's unbearable to tremble.I was a little scared, and even a little regretful. After all, going to the country of the dead would not allow me to gain any useful new discoveries, and it was meaningless to fight for my life in a dangerous situation... But there is one thing that keeps me thinking about death.Death, I want to know something about it, but what?Maybe when we get there, we will understand.
After turning a few more narrow paths leading to the inland, the road gradually widened. Although there were still many mountains in the distance, I saw a torch stand standing in the road. Its existence added a lot of color to the environment, and I felt No matter how many mountains there are, they can be exhausted.As soon as the torch was passed——In an instant, dusk struck; after a few hundred feet, a huge archway was isolated in the distance, behind it was pitch black, like midnight, and there were a few sparks flickering in the night, and the light was faint It shows the appearance of the house and the mountain wall.That was Grievrond, the land of death and silence.
It's less than a mile from day to midnight, and it seems the only time here is distance... I guess every place has its own time zone, and Gwynfrond is night, eternal darkness.It is like a large mausoleum, the houses spread from the ground to the mountain wall, the houses are thick and solemn, like a coffin, the city is barren, dry, cold, and no grass grows; I stood in front of the arch for a long time, hesitating around the only weed pile , It takes a little courage to go in there, but I don't know what the end of the bravery will be.
"New job, silly boy."
Work... Phantom, what are you trying to tell me?
"The duke is recruiting a guardian. This kind of good case doesn't happen anytime!"
... a vigil?Keeping the spirit... Yes, senior, we went to be the keepers together.Is this what I'm thinking about? ... Alas, memory, I am always led by the nose by you.How about knowing the past?I live here, dignified and upright!I! ...
...I really shouldn't be here.
Visiting Guifulonde is not a good idea.
I reluctantly lingered outside for a while, trying to see if there was any remaining fire to prove that I still had a reason to set foot in it, but there was no campfire here, and the lanterns hanging high on the wall were just some will-o'-the-wisps; this place Completely dead, Guifulongde City at this time is just a shell, the intact floor tiles and houses are full of dust, like an old warehouse that no one has visited for many years, and there is not even a trace of the activities that once existed.
This reminds me of what Petrus said-Gui Fulongde's perdition is to fall into the abyss and never be peaceful-maybe its end is just like this, and those shadows can only linger in the wreckage There is no kingdom, those things don't mutter to themselves like living corpses, like off-line puppets, shadows just live in history, without emotion or consciousness.
Not long after, I continued my journey inland with the lanterns of the city.Through a few narrow alleys, avoiding the central city and places that may be downtown, I went east along the ancient landmarks; coming from the west and going east, the mountain wall gradually dissipated, and the old trees beside the driveway gradually faded away. As it grows stronger, the dark night also changes accordingly. After the next torch stand, the morning light suddenly emerges. It is black and dark, bitingly cold, and the fog and dew make the surroundings full of dangers; this road is not a good place for walking. But I walked without hesitation. After all, this road is long like this. It is neither forked nor flat. It is hard for me to imagine what kind of abyss and dead end it will lead to.
Everything is good, the only disadvantage of this road is that there are many enemies, like a swarm of flies.Most of those monsters were turned into living corpses, and a few of them were undead turned into living corpses, but it was relatively easy to deal with.Occasionally, I would find the wreckage of some cargo vehicles. Among them, a relatively complete vehicle contained some documents in addition to corpses and cargo residues. The documents were written in words I could not understand, and the recipients were unknown Who, and the goods on the car have already been looted, the leftover boxes are scattered, and the cups and plates are messed up.Judging from the direction of the front of the carriage, this carriage should have left Gui Fulongde, maybe it was for escape, or it might just be a business traveler, I think the latter is more likely, because there are not many people left on the carriage Personal belongings.
The hours of heaven do not shorten with my distance, and I think I am walking in circles on the edge.After a few miles, the road suddenly cut off, and a river valley cut the path on both banks. The valley was as wide as four horses' bodies, but a wild path opened in the bushes next to it, although I don't think it can be detoured back. The original main road, but it doesn't hurt to explore.Senior, you must be very envious of me having the opportunity to take risks here, right?I can tell that you don't miss any chance to see something new... But you have to be grateful that you don't have to wander alone in the undead, there are good and bad in all this, and so far I think the bad still accounts for a little upper hand.
Though the sky was still as thick as ink, stars began to appear in the darkness.I moved my body to a place with fewer branches and observed carefully, and the one or two nameless stars were placed in the sky, which looked very unique; after walking a few steps, the light spots multiplied until I saw the first leaf When hanging on the branches, the galaxy has also traversed the night.
It's so weird... I found a stone and sat down, resting my body on the big sword and looking up.I wondered if I had ever seen so many stars, and how many of them could I recognize.The teacher once taught me some astronomy knowledge, but... yes, there was a teacher, an elder magician who taught me to read and write. He taught me all kinds of things, including astronomy, but I still can't remember those things. Hype noun.Learning is very interesting, but some things really depend on talent. Sometimes I really envy the teacher who can stuff so many things in his head. Isn't he crazy?
... Enough is enough.
The longer I go, the dimmer the light in my hand becomes. I think the fire source of the lantern is the soul... Then why not use my soul as the light source?
Well, it was bright again, as bright as moonlight.
I don't know where I'm going, the mud path under my feet takes me to a certain time and direction; the surrounding humidity suddenly increases, green moss spreads, the old trees on both sides of the wild path are replaced by towering black forests, everywhere Mushrooms and ferns were visible, but I still didn't see half a normal creature living here, except cursed beasts.Suddenly, a silver light pierced my eyes sorely. I thought I had added too much soul to the lantern, but when I saw the light spots on the ground, I realized that there was an extra round of bright moon in the sky.Rodland's moonlight may be even more dazzling than the world, its light is like a knife, making people hard to guard against.
("friend.")
Hallucination?No, it's a real voice.
("Traveling alone?")
He spoke again.Following the sound, I saw a man in a different travel suit standing dozens of feet away.I asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
"I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm just lost," replied the traveler.
"Don't worry, go from here. After a short walk, you will see the road leading to Guifulonde." I looked behind.
"That ghost town? How did you get out of there alive?"
I half-raised the lantern to show him the brass and glass chandelier. "As long as you don't go too far, I think it's pretty friendly to the living."
"It's so brave... Maybe you can take me there to see and see. I've heard of Gui Fulunde, but the reputation there has always been bad... Although I am an undead person, I am allergic to death, especially undead and Necromancy, those things are too deadly...but since you can get through safely, I think you may be able to take me out of there safely."
"Sorry, I don't really want to waste time going back the way... Is there anything ahead?" I asked.
The traveler looked back at the depths of the wild path, and then replied: "I'm not sure, but roughly speaking, it's a forest. I don't know where I will go after half a circle."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"God knows how I got here?"
I don't trust a stranger who has something to hide. "I'm sorry, you can go alone. The light will show you, after all, there will be no moonlight to open the road ahead."
"No!...I mean, please, I... at least take me back to the main road, kind man! Besides, it's not a good place to explore, it's a dark forest, and you never return. !"
"Do you think I'm a kind person?"
He was trembling. Although I couldn't see the traveler's appearance clearly, I felt that the traveler seemed nervous. "...I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth, to be honest... I was being chased. Because I stole something small."
"You don't have to be so scared if you walk faster."
"If I could walk faster... things would be much easier." He shuffled his left foot and walked in front of me, with rags wrapped around his leg, and the entire trouser leg was stained with dried blood.
"It's a good ending, remember not to steal next time."
"Oh, please, do me a favor!"
... Well, I'm really a poor person.But maybe...just help out once, idleness is idleness anyway.
I took the traveler back along the original road. Although we knew there was no time to procrastinate, the traveler's foot injury greatly affected the progress. Even if I made him a crutch as an aid, I couldn't speed it up... ...It seems that it will take a long time even to reach the galaxy area.
I don't know what trouble he got into. In a place like Rodland, what kind of trouble would he get into so that people can't let him go?If I let the other party know that I helped the traveler, will I not be able to move on?That's okay, anyway, I have plenty of places to go... Why don't I go back to the broken road later and cut down a tree to use as a bridge.I don't know where Guifulongde Avenue will lead to?It would be much easier with a map.I wish the undead merchant sold Rodland's map too.
"That's a good way to let a lame man walk ahead with a lamp." The traveler glanced back at me.
"I'll support you when you're unconscious."
"It's so kind... so you will help me block someone who is chasing you?"
"I'll put you in my hands."
"Soft-hearted, you wouldn't do that," the traveler gasped, and the tip of his stick dangled on the ground, "You are the kind of honest quack, a bunch of fools who will help you to the end."
"If you dare."
The traveler was silent for a while, then glanced at me quietly, as if he had a problem with the big sword on my back. "...You can at least guarantee that I can leave the midnight zone?"
"Don't worry, it was just a joke."
"... Hoho... Hahaha... It's funny, good acting. You're starting to bore me."
Seeing him walking so hard, I couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'll give you a little element."
"Oh? You have an element bottle? You have...but don't you know that elements cannot be shared?" As he spoke, he leaned against the tree trunk panting, "...unless you are willing to give it to others Me, otherwise I will never be able to touch the power of your bonfire... Phew... Phew... Damn Rodland..."
"It's so close, so romantic."
"...Damn sense of humor. Kind people, please let my ears go."
The moon is still bright and the trees are full of shadows. I don't remember that I have walked so many moonlight roads; I once suspected that travelers were leading me astray, but there are my footprints on the ground. I know this road is still correct, at least not Too far off...so, maybe the opposite is true and the forest is misleading us.The traveler's mood is unstable. He often asks me about the situation behind me, and asks how far we are from the main road, but what can I answer?I know no more than a traveler. If I can't leave the forest even by following the clues and turning back, then it's useless to know more.
At this time, I heard the sound of the distant stream, and the surrounding trees were no longer evergreen, tangled dwarf trees interlaced with straight tall trees, and the moonlight was also dimmed, replaced by stars and rivers.It seems that although I wasted a little time, I didn't go the wrong way... It's a pity that the uninvited guest has already come to the door.
The traveler's reaction was clever, he had special experience in avoiding danger and self-protection, he had already selected a hiding place long before the attack started, and before the sound of breaking wind appeared - we had already dodged behind the tree head respectively.The flying knife penetrated into the tree trunk, and the sound was thick and loud, without any rotation, and the blade went straight in. It is estimated that the maximum distance from the enemy soldiers was no more than twenty feet.There may be more than two people... er, headache at this time?It's as if something has interfered with my body... no, it's my world.
("Well-wishers,") the traveler hiding in another tree hid the lamp in his collar, and said, ("We're invaded. Can you deal with them? Those fellows, hunters... please, please don't Abandon me, I don't want to become a living corpse!")
"The price of guards is not cheap."
("No problem, I'll pay you!")
Who knows if it will be another coin or badge?Better not, stranger.
The enemy seemed to be unable to hold back their temper. They showed their steps, and the sound of two footsteps approached from a distance—suddenly, the sound evaporated.I can still feel the air on my skin, less than two steps away from our encounter, and although I can't judge the location, I know the enemy is still somewhere.
One more step, and they're still moving—no, there's some turbulence in the air...they're speeding up.Someone raised a weapon.
(—Hoo hoo!——Dang dong!)
I retreated out of attack range.This place is located at the junction of the moon and the galaxy, and my vision is almost completely black. I am facing two invisible opponents. Although their big knives failed to cut my body in half, if I don’t find a way quickly ...
(Clang, clang!)
The opponent attacked.Standard brute force, not very dexterous, the only thing worthy of praise is that they are fast enough and their positions are elusive.Not only is the opponent's figure empty, but even the weapon can only be seen insignificantly. Fortunately, the enemy is not a difficult opponent. He...is there only one person?another person is...
(—whoosh!)
right next to it.Ha, it's a good match, one point... Even so, you have already taken advantage, why haven't even one single person been solved yet?I don't want to hang around here for too long, and you guys aren't worth my time.I don't even have to play tricks, my friend, just put some effort into catching the blade and hitting back - good night, babes!
(Clang dong!...Penglong!)
I don't know if the undead can be revived after their bodies are cut in two. Just in case, I stepped forward and smashed their heads.But the crisis has not yet been resolved, and the pain lingering in his mind has not subsided. If this is the invasion mentioned by the traveler, there may be a few enemies hiding nearby.Where is the other party hiding?What's next for him?I waited with bated breath to see who would lose patience first.
The light of the lantern seeping from the traveler's clothes makes me sick, and my eyes are more difficult to adapt to the darkness than before; there is no sound on the broken road, no beasts and nocturnal birds, only insects in the eternal night, the sound is small and annoying, It makes the skin itchy.Where is he?where are theyHow long will this headache last?My body gradually became numb, the great sword in my hand melted into the air, the blood on my feet froze like ice...everything is against me.
—a mist exploded around my feet—poisonous gas?smoke bomb?In any case, I finally found the other party's position.in the rear right.
Several bursts of wind came across the sky, which caught people off guard. Although I tried to turn around and dodge like before, the result this time was not ideal; I felt two stabs in the abdomen, and the throwing knife penetrated very deep, and it might fall. On the lower left near the stomach.Never mind, this little injury...let's talk about it when it's over.
(Boom!)
The last enemy was the real mist, and I chopped off his head, but he didn't bleed, and his head was reduced to ashes before it even hit the ground.I think the other person is not a person, he may be just a ghost, but how can a ghost use a knife to hurt someone?It's so weird...
...!
(——clam!...)
It's you.I know, no surprise.But haven't you considered the possibility of a counterattack before you attack?Or do you think that my life is not long, and that I am only one blow away from it?
"...Dude, I never believed you." I said to the traveler lying on the ground.I wasn't expecting to hear him speak, but the sword didn't cut deep enough, only half the body, so we could still have a few words before he lost consciousness.
"Bad acting?" he asked.
"Just don't believe it."
"But you couldn't dodge the knife at all." The fallen lamplight illuminated the traveler's face, his lips were trembling, but his expression was calm.
"You're right. Why?"
"Admit it, you've softened your heart."
The roundabout just now caused the knife to cut open my waist. Although the pain was numb, I couldn't help but continue to take a deep breath. "... Phew... soft-hearted, really?"
"Ha, stupid! I see through you, good man, you're just blindly following your own stupidity! Arrogant and conceited, pretending to be a hero to save people from fire and water, but now you don't even dare to ask why I did it , you... you, you are... the big swamp monster?" I don't know why he lost his soul, maybe he mistook me for...some kind of evil thing, "heh, heh heh...you...I understand , I suddenly realized..."
"I'm not from the Great Swamp," I felt a little cold, I thought his dagger, or the throwing knife just now, had poison on it, "Do you have an antidote? I really need an antidote."
"...haha... you just... find... yourself... son of a bitch..."
"Thank you for your kindness, son of a bitch."
Finally, he died.
...how could I hold onto the unreasonable hope...to trust a stranger?Sure enough, not all of them are Astra knights or Solal, I should have known, even if I was dazzled by their image... No, this is the truth, I am really stupid, But I don't regret it... After all, there are so many people in the world, good and bad, can't be summed up in one word.
So cold.
(... Clang!)
... Phew... really tired.It's hard to live, isn't it?senior?
But what needs to be done is... the element?Why...how could...it doesn't work...
... huh huh huh huh
……call……
……
……
"Close your eyes and pretend you're dead."
I'm not dead yet.
"Shut up! Don't argue with us about this kind of thing!...don't...don't let our blood...be shed in vain...son of Fremimo..."
You are just pitying me, pity the little devil who can't even hold a spear well...
……you!
... Oh, I'm dreaming.
I returned from the battlefield of Fukaya to the galaxy of Lordland; the memory of the vision is vivid, the scene, the sound, the smell, everything is very vivid, but I just can't remember the faces of those old neighbors.Do the undead also dream?Forget it, since you are alive, don't worry about so much.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the hell I'll be able to do if I survive, travel?adventure?Or complete the mission?Besides, is the survival of the undead a kind of life?I'm not even a human at all—in retrospect, this body is already on the verge of its limit...but I didn't die.Ordinary people should have died a long time ago. They died of wound infection or excessive blood loss. They injured their abdomen and opened their waist again. How could they still be alive and kicking like this?But I still sit here, thinking wildly, my consciousness is clear and unimpeded.Can this be considered human?It is really unheard of for a human being to hold his own intestines and stumble under the tree.
Although, so what?That's the truth, the fact that people don't die... it just feels weird.Am I dead or alive?Am I awake, or am I asleep?
... like a fantasy, like a dream... seems real but not real.
After lighting the lamp again, I saw that the corpses on the ground had disappeared without a trace.No one moved them, those people just disappeared out of thin air, leaving nothing but a pool of blood, but the items I snatched are still there, and the herbs and sundries are still intact... It seems that they are in a different place than me. world.With so much involved, there is still nothing in the end; there are no enemies, no allies, and even passersby do not exist, this is not a human world, this place is lonely, and any encounter is worthless.
Solar, do you know all this?If you still regard yourself as a Sun Warrior, it means that you are still doing righteous deeds, but these righteous deeds have no object, let alone good or bad success or failure... Before I know it, I think of you, Solal, so you are considered Is this place still a man as dazzling as the sun?Although I question your beliefs and thoughts, after all, you are so out of place in Rhodeland, but I can feel it... It's really enviable. Although I have only met you once, your brilliance and enthusiasm make me unforgettable ;I believe that you have never given up, no matter how many difficulties and setbacks you encounter, you will stand firm and stick to your beliefs, just like your name-you are the sun, it is too difficult for you not to shine, hahaha...
……oh?My flame, the element has recovered!Haha... Finally... Solar, you are really my sun, I'd better read your name more in the future.
Solar bless, may your light shine forever.
After returning to the broken circuit, I immediately found an old tree on the bank that was suitable as a bridge.
The shape of the tree is many forks, but it is generally straight. Its bark is pleated and twisted, but its smooth texture is like a randomly kneaded cloth, and it is not easy to slip under the feet; It is surrounded by a long foot. This kind of tree is safe and stable when used as a bridge. The only disadvantage, but also the biggest advantage, is that it is as hard as a rock.Fortunately, the Gargoyle Ax was as strong as its owner. Although it was a little impolite to use it to chop down trees, Rhodeland's stone trees were treated with Rhodeland's magical things, which could be regarded as appropriate.
—The tree fell.
(... jika - touch rumbling!)
Congratulations, Guifu Longde Avenue is unimpeded again!Now, Guifrond, can you tell me where this road leads next?If I step on the air and fall into the river, will I be washed back to the world?
Ah, it would be great if you could speak, at least you can prove that this is not just my one-man show... If the mission refers to being guided by divine inspiration and divine power, and embarking on the road of seeking knowledge and exploration due to ancient prophecies, then you It's long overdue.The god of Rhodeland, the god of the city, or a heroic spirit, an old man, any word... Where are you?Where the hell were you all when I finally started to crave faith? ...Ah, damn it, I should have understood that there is nothing here, even believing in a Solar is more meaningful than singing your names.
This road is not practical, and it is more empty than all the previous paths.The old forest in Guifulonde is vast and boundless, and it is dark there; the dawn never breaks, and the day never sets, and the gap between day and night I walk is silent, lightless and shadowless.Eternity is the curse of Rodland, and the curse drives the living into confusion.
At some point, I was lost in another dark forest. The silver light in my hand could not see through the intertwined giant trees and tor rocks, and the neat stone and brick roads became fragmented. Only the mud in front of me guided me to the direction. Go deeper and further afield.
Although everything is so obvious, they tell me that the road does not lead, that Gui Fulunde leads nowhere, that the road ends with nothing but hopelessness; the dew sucks my warmth, and I am tired and cold, and I do not feel myself Why do my limbs move? If I go on like this, I may sink forever and turn into a living corpse... But I enjoy it, and the half-dream and half-awake state makes me feel comfortable.How good would it be if this were the end of the journey?Disappearing before I can remember anything more, lost in the endless forest... no, no!Not yet, I have promised the knight to help him complete his mission.
...No, that's not the knight's mission, that's mine... the meaning of my existence!
"Your mission? Meaning? Oh, blessed by the flame."
Who are you?You sound like a woman.
"Puppy, you have to listen to your own heart once in a while. The mission you mentioned...that's just a stupid delusion."
Delusional?Do you dare to say that the clock is too?I'm ringing the bell of awakening!The Great Clock of Immortals!
"Then why don't you think about it, why should the world favor you? Besides, how do you think you're really getting anything in return? Puppy, my stupid poor bastard, damned liar, you just took that name The glory of the knight, relying on no one knows, you can boldly declare that you are the chosen one, and your words and deeds are all righteous... Oh, poor, poor, my little dog, overwhelmed by miracles and glory Are you dizzy? You just knocked a broken clock... Do you really think you are a man of destiny?"
I will not be fooled, Phantom, you are a mere illusion...you are my test.
"Trial?...haha...hahahaha——!"
Don't laugh!
"Okay, as you wish...Shh, be careful not to wake up Mei Meng, murderer."
...you... who the hell are you?Why do you bother me by showing up again and again?
Heh, heh heh... I know, you guys are just... shameless.You guys are disappointed that I live here, right?Because I'm trusted...because I've got my destiny, you losers drive me crazy in the dark!
...Hehe...hahahaha——!Ah ha ha ha ha ha----!
—Shut up, shut up! ……Shut up……
...please...please...please let me go...let me...do something right, like a human being...give me a little more time, I will face it, face it all...but not now.I still have a lot of things to do.I lied, I didn't stay here for a mission; damn it, that wasn't my mission, it was a knight's!But I still want to do it... because of commitment, because of desire! ……no no!I am purely, those actions are purely to make me feel that I am still alive, living like a normal person!A flesh and blood... normal human... normal human!
Am I not worthy?Why?
Why take away my hope?
why?
……
……
why?
Uh... what am I doing here?
……
Yes, the forest.How long have I been walking here?
Thin light covered the sky, and although the forest was still dark, the world had entered morning; the sky was indigo and clear, and now pink and purple dyed flowers rose from the east, and I couldn't see more from under the trees, but I guess that the place farther away will be as pink as a peach, and fade away with the distance, and finally all the colors will be connected to the place where the rising sun is born.That was the real daybreak, and if I climbed the branches, I would be sure to catch a glimpse of the divine land in its glory.
——quickly, I put it into action.
The rough bark rubs against my half body and arms. Although the dew is icy cold, the heat generated by my body makes it cool and pleasant.Wood stumps scratching my palms, pain fermenting in fingertips, skin bruised from multiple slips, but it's all better than I imagined - it's like - like the reason I'm here s reason.
The trees are towering and towering, and there are many branches, but everything has an end after all.
...ah... the dawn of Rodland.I know that you are worthy of my journey.You're always there, right?
Now, let me see your true face... Please tell me whether this place is a dream or reality...
2 - House of Exiles
Death is not scary.Baijiao beliefs always say that death is the glory and the culmination of happiness. Once there were ups and downs in Chengtuo, Qingxue bid farewell to pain and joy, and the dead are gone, farewell to suffering; life is not to be feared, death is not to be regretted, and the end will be endless People can escape, and when the time is right, Nite, the Lord of Death, and his silent ladies will lead the souls of the living into the lake and into deep sleep.
Unless you are born worthless and worthless, death is just the beginning of peace, the eight sufferings and disasters have become illusory, and a lifetime of confusion has settled into stones and fallen deep into the lake.
The woods are wide, and may be a hundred miles long as far as the Great Gwynfullund; this place is early in the morning, and so is the whole world, even Gwyflund, but I still can't see it all--because it is far away. It was so far away that it was almost impossible to see.
Although the morning light was bright, the forest was still terrifyingly dark... Because the towering cliff at the end blocked the light, so even though it was morning, the sightlines were worse than dusk.It is possible that the huge rock wall next to the parish is the same mountain, and the shadow of the mountain wall stretches endlessly at this time, possibly all the way to the broken bridge, or even beyond, and there is no way to see the end of the shadow from the trees.How nice would it be if we could really get some sunshine?The world is always against me, even now.
The sky is clear and cloudless and the colors are bright. I can't imagine the scenery on the other side of the cliff. Maybe it will be the world's most magnificent scenery, but it may be as soon as you step over the cliff. Day, after all, there is only a thin line between fairyland and purgatory.Purgatory.I've heard the word, and it's said that nits throw dirty people into the far northern frontier, criminals, blasphemous, born worthless and worthless, they will all be washed in along the river of regret; heroes and Great people will go to the Hall of Valor, and mortals will enter the Lake of Forgetfulness through the Xihe River, and then sleep peacefully, and the rest will fall into the abyss of purgatory, where there is no god, no light, no salvation, forever and ever... In fact, as an undead Not bad either.
