wandering in the ashes of meman

3 Chapter 3
"Except for the primordial fire, there is nothingness, there is no heaven and earth, everything is chaos... There is no comparison object, and I don't even know how long it has passed. Several humanoid species are crawling in the muddy mud , until the appearance of the fire. The first god Gwen, the first dead tomb king Nit, the witch of Chaos Izaris and a dwarf that no one has ever seen obtained the first and most powerful four king souls from the first fire .These king souls are the main factors that make up all things.

And at that time, it was not these few people with king souls who ruled the world, but the immortal ancient dragon... The appearance of the immortal ancient dragon was earlier than that of Sun King Ge Wen.Their scales are even able to resist the passage of time.And among the immortal ancient dragons, a strange species appeared... She was completely red and white without any scales.This ancient dragon is called Hiss.

Hesitating without scales, White Dragon Hiss suffered unfair treatment from the Immortal Ancient Dragon Clan, so Heath told the kings the secret about the Immortal Ancient Dragon.Immediately, the three kings joined hands, and the tomb king Nit released the miasma of death, corroding the hard scales of the immortal ancient dragon; the witch of Izaris released the flames of chaos, burning the ancient tree where the immortal ancient dragon lived; Just like the sun distributed the bright thunder king soul to some knights, allowing them to gain the power of thunder and lightning. When the thunder spear of light pierced the decayed scales of the ancient dragons, it became the final battle to break the rule of the immortal ancient dragons. A hammer.

The existence of these most ancient and supreme rulers finally collapsed.These original existences also created their own eras one after another. Gwen created the royal city "Arnor Londe" and everything in the topmost place of Rhodeland. "

"Later, the original fire gradually dimmed. In order to prevent the world from returning to darkness, God King Gwen chose to use his own soul as firewood, and threw it into the furnace burning with the original fire without hesitation. After that, every reincarnation, The chosen undead people will wake up, and then follow the footsteps of the original Xin Wang, Wu Xin King Ge Wen, to become a part of the inheritance flame, allowing the world to continue."

As he spoke, Ashes opened his palm.

"As you can see, I am one of the undead. It's just like my name, I'm just ashes..."

"ash?"

Hearing Hui Hui's words, Hela frowned suspiciously.

Nodding, Ashes continued: "The most important thing in spreading fire is humanity. In other words, the wisdom of Chuhuo uses humanity as firewood to continue burning. With the humanity of the undead, the flame will go out after a short period of time, unless It is the undead of the strange species with high-quality humanity that can prolong the burning time of the initial fire as much as possible. And when this kind of strange species disappears, it will be us who are ashes... We are the residue, only possessing the human nature as instinct. The ring of darkness has two channels for the inflow and outflow of humanity in us ashes. Therefore, the mission of ashes is to constantly hunt and kill wandering souls or undead. Use some conceivable means to make the humanity in your body more Sufficient, and then put these humanity into the furnace..."

"..."

Hearing Ashes' words, Hela fell silent.For some reason, she felt inexplicably sad for this guy in front of him who called himself Ashes.The meaning of birth is to become a container of humanity, and then finally throw it into the fire, in exchange for the burning of the flame and the continuation of the world...

"It's really pitiful... The meaning of existence, the meaning of struggle are all for death..."

Not paying attention to Hela's words, Ashes nodded calmly.

"Yes, this is the meaning of our existence... I am the first ashes. Just like in the story, the witch of Izaris released flames to burn the original ancient tree. After the ancient tree was completely burned, I appeared Now, as the first ashes, I know better than anyone what my ethnic group represents..."

As he spoke, a bit of bitterness rose from the corner of Ashes' mouth.

"No matter who it is, when facing me, they will be courteous because of my identity..."

"However, they don't really admire you..." Hela said indifferently: "Their courtesy is not because of your career, but because of your mortal fate. They don't support you from the bottom of their hearts. , but to keep you from escaping, for this, they will even deceive you into inheriting the first fire... right?"

"...That's right."

Ashes nodded calmly, not dissatisfied with Hela's words.In other words, Ashes already knew this from the beginning of having memories... After such a long time, Ashes has also felt relieved about this matter...

"So I finally chose to go out."

After a moment of silence, Hela asked curiously, "What about your oath?"

"I did take the oath, and it was as a knight before Gwen's throne... But not long after I took the oath, the fire went out. And I also slaughtered Gwen's family... Hmm. More than once." Ashes said lightly, "Basically every time the bell rings, I need to send them into the tomb again."

Sitting cross-legged in front of the campfire, the ashes threw a bone or two into the flames from time to time.Looking at Hela in front of him, Ashes shrugged.

"How long have you been here?"

"Fifty-eight years."

"...How long?!" You looked at Hela in front of me as if you were teasing me, Ashes' face was full of disbelief.

"5000 years..." Hela said blankly, "I have been imprisoned here by Odin for 5000 years... I am afraid there are not many people in Asgard who even know my name."

"Asgard?!"

Ashes became even more dazed.Scratching her head, Ashes began to wonder if her history hadn't been learned well...

"That's right... I've never heard of the Wuxin King or Rodland you're talking about..."

After a moment of silence, Ashes sighed.

"Now...isn't it the age of fire?"

"That's right, the era of fire you mentioned has come to an end.... If it is really like what you described, the name of Wuxin King Gewen should resound throughout the universe. But in fact, I can't even hear it." I have never heard of this name. Or, you made up this story..."

"Well, the age of fire has completely disappeared into the dust of history."

Hearing this, he was silent for a while.Ashes shrugged his head in disappointment, his eyes fixed on the slowly burning campfire in front of him.

"Is that so..."

Ashes let out a sigh of relief.Fumbled around his waist a few times, and under Hela's somewhat wary eyes, Ashes took out a small golden bottle.He didn't take off the helmet, or there was no need to take it off, and the ashes poured directly into the gap at the mouth of the helmet, absorbing the scorching elements, and a wave of heat flowed into the body, which caused the body that had lost touch to feel A little more vitality.He sighed comfortably.Seemingly noticing Hela's gaze, Ashes passed the bottle over.

"Want to try it?"

After a moment of silence, looking at the ashes in front of her, Hela's throat felt a little moved... Being imprisoned for more than 5000 years, equal to time, Hela has not eaten anything for more than 5000 years.Although relying on divinity, he would not feel hunger, but his appetite... After taking the small golden bottle in Ashes' hands, the shell of the bottle was slightly hot to the touch.Under Ember's encouraging eyes, Hela poured the golden and red liquid in the bottle towards her mouth...

But Hela didn't feel any smell, on the contrary, what she felt was scorching hot like magma.The pupils shrank instantly, almost subconsciously, and Hela spat the liquid in her mouth aside.After falling on the solid stone slab, the scorching hot magma-like liquid quickly melted out spots of potholes on the floor.He threw the elemental bottle in his hand aside.Covering his mouth that had already melted his tongue, the other hand instantly summoned a sharp black long sword and pointed it at Huihui's throat. He remained in a stalemate until the burns on his tongue and mouth were completely repaired through divinity. Hela Frowning, he said sharply, "What are you doing!"

After a moment of silence, Ashes said in surprise:
"...Aren't you undead?"

"When did I say that I am?!"

"But you didn't say you weren't!" Ashes said innocently, "When the primordial fire is extinguished, it stands to reason that there should be no independent human nature and soul in the world...and you repaired it so quickly just now. In addition to the injuries on your body, I thought you just didn't learn history well..."
