Fafnir, Where Are You?

Fortunately, Fu Hua traveled all over the earth step by step, but he didn't need it.At most, he can only walk the entire Nagano Prefecture once.

Even more fortunately, Siegfried wasn't walking around.After 500 years of sealing, Yae Sakura has become a pseudo-herrscher.And Hiyumaru, the Herrscher of Corrosion of the previous generation, resided in her stigmata.

It is equivalent to the reaction of the two herrschers. Now that the seal has almost disappeared, it is actually very easy to sense.

Even if the detection devices of Destiny and Anti-Entropy cannot be found, this will not trouble Siegfried, the Herrscher.

In the evening of the second day, Siegfried found this place.

Japan has a high green rate.Even more so in this crumbling world.When Siegfried came to the ruins of Yae Village, the surrounding area was deserted for dozens of miles.

In other words, this place was originally considered to be inside the mountain.The dense vegetation blocks the way up the mountain, completely isolating this place from the outside world.

In this regard, Siegfried also had a guess: 500 years ago, after Kallen Kaslana sealed Yae Sakura, she was exhausted and brought back to the headquarters by the troops of Destiny.

At that time, the Destiny's troops must have received the order to take Karen and the box back together.But the box has already been opened and merged with Yae Sakura.After Yae Sakura was sealed, the Destiny Troops might not be able to find it.In this case, they who failed the task are likely to do some violent things.

For example, slaughter the entire Yae Village.

Even if only a few people were killed to vent their anger, and with the previous Higokumaru riot, Yae Village should be almost dead.

People are gone, plus the idea that destiny has hidden traces.Yae Village has completely disappeared into history.And this place, because of the ending of destiny and 500 years of natural transformation, has become a dense forest.

It is not difficult to see from the open world that Yae Village is actually a very wealthy village.You know, in the Warring States Period, not all villages could be paved with stone bricks throughout the village.

But when Zieg flew away on this land, all the houses had long since become rubble, and the bricks and stones on the ground were also broken by the trees that grew one by one, losing their original effect.

It is impossible to tell the direction from the road and the wreckage of the house.Although Siegfried knew that to reach the Yae Shrine, he needed to cross a river and climb up the mountain.

But after so long, the river has long been diverted.

Although Siegfried has known for a long time that the design in the game cannot be exactly the same as the real Yae Village, people's subconsciousness still unconsciously affects Siegfried's sense of direction.This caused him to go the wrong way several times with his eyes open.

After walking around here for about half an hour, Siegfried finally found the torii gate covered by the woods. After 500 years, the original bright red was dim and mottled, and it has long lost its former brilliance.

But the good news is that Siegfried finally found the right way to the Yae Shrine.

However, just as Siegfried stepped up the stone steps that no longer existed, a gust of wind brought an unusually pleasant bell to his ears.

"Ding bell~"

"Oh?" Siegfried raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Things are finally starting to get interesting."

The next moment, the sky that was still clear just now suddenly changed.Everything around, since Zieg flew past the torii gate, has turned into a strange purple.A strange breath gradually rose.

And Ziegfei looked back.The back road has disappeared.Instead, there is a thick fog that gives people an ominous feeling.

The purple world, the weird noises, the scorched air, the thick fog that blocks the back road, the torii gate, the shrine...all of these are easy to associate with horror movies.

Such a world gave Siegfried a very familiar feeling.Because, he has a very similar ability - space-time fracture.

The difference is that the color of time-space rupture is much darker than the color of this world, and it is also more silent.

This kind of phenomenon, which looks like a space type, cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Herrscher of Space no matter what.

After just a few glances, Siegfried discovered the essence of this world - a different space born based on barriers and seals.

Obviously, Siegfried has stepped into Yae Sakura's sealed domain.And she herself must be somewhere in this space.Then contact the existing information, the result is obvious.

shrine.

In this sealed space, the vegetation that got in the way has disappeared.The bright torii gates are clearly visible.Although the stone steps are also damaged, Siegfried can fly over them.Not a problem at all.

Before moving forward, however, Siegfried still needs to sort out a few little troubles.

Seeing a half-figure appearing on the platform above hundreds of steps, and it was still a dead soldier who was shooting an arrow with a bow, Siegfried took out the repaired Heavenly Fire Sacred Order.

"Let me see what is the difference between Yae Village's special Fire Death Warrior and my Flame Family!"

The core of the Herrscher of Flame is activated and directly connected to the Holy Order of Skyfire.Transfer the power of the Herrscher of Flame to overwrite the original half-dominant and half-non-attribute attributes, and complete the reproduction of the key of destruction.

The red light gradually lit up.

Before Siegfried raised his gun to shoot, arrows fell from the sky.Siegfried could clearly see the flame power contained in it.

The power of each arrow is roughly equivalent to five grenades + one incendiary bomb.

At this level, let alone Siegfried.Even a C-rank Valkyrie can deal with the opponent without any pressure.If Siegfried wanted to, he only needed to fire one shot, and the bullets from the Heavenly Fire Sect would blow up all the dozen or so dead soldiers in the distance to the sky.

But Siegfried didn't do that.They are too weak.So weak that Siegfried didn't even want to pay attention to them.

He directly opened the space door and moved to a place deeper in the sealed space.There is a more powerful Houkai reaction there.

That's what Siegfried was looking for in the test.

Chapter 338 229. In the Shrine

This sealed space is different from the stigmata space.

This is not a small world re-opened.Instead, through a peculiar way, the world is divided into two layers.When ordinary people come here, they will only see a barren mountain and a dilapidated shrine.And those who possess the Houkai energy in their bodies, or those who possess related technologies, will be introduced into this world.This method, presumably, is the existence of spells used by Japanese witches.

Having said that, if the strength is not strong enough to a certain level, even if you come in, it will be a dead end.

If it is said that the dead soldiers Siegfried met when he first came in were only accompanied by the lowest dead soldiers, they could be knocked down by ordinary firearms.The strength of the dead soldiers in his current position is enough to make the A-rank Valkyrie take a lot of trouble.

And here is Yae Shrine.

The scale of the Yae Shrine is not too large. You only need to walk up the steps to see all the buildings.A general shrine can be classified according to the main hall (usually equipped with a god body, offering food and imperial coins, which is the place where the god lives), the worship hall (a place to worship and pray) and the coin hall (set between the main hall and the worship hall, for offering coins) The presence or absence of silk places) is roughly divided.

A shrine with only the main hall is a small shrine; a shrine with a main hall and worship hall is a general shrine; a shrine with a main hall, coin hall and worship hall is a large shrine.

Although this is not a standard division method, it can give a fairly clear understanding of the scale of the shrine.

Although the Yae Shrine in front of Siegfried has more than one house, the houses on both sides are basically for people and storage (although it may also be the Kagura Hall, the Social Affairs Office, and the Nazar Office).The real shrine is only the one in the middle.From this point of view alone, Yae Shrine is undoubtedly a small shrine.

But a small shrine also has the benefits of a small shrine. Siegfried found the place where Yae Sakura was sealed at a glance.

The body is blurred, passing the offering box, passing through the verandah, and entering the main hall.A huge fox statue is placed on the table.

The fox was sitting there like a human being, with a weird smile on its sly fox face.Most importantly, the fox's eyes were emitting a faint red light.It looked extremely weird.A strange magnetic field diffuses from the fox statue, and pulls people who step here into the environment.

If the people who came here were ordinary people, they wouldn't be screaming 'monsters' and running out yelling to be killed by the dead soldiers and Houkai beasts outside; or they would be pulled into the illusion by the gods and die brain-dead.But ordinary people can't get in here, so this is a false proposition.

Of course Siegfried would not be afraid of this little thing.Regardless of the so-called environment, the weird shape of the fox does not affect Siegfried at all.On the contrary, he is still very interested in this thing.

Siegfried can say that he remembers what Higokumaru looks like very clearly.That is definitely not what the fox statue in front of me looks like.

"Is this the god worshiped by Yae Village?" Siegfried guessed.

Japanese Shintoism believes that all things have spirits, and there are gods wherever they go.Therefore, their beliefs are often very simple, but also very strange.Perhaps a fox who helps lost woodcutters find the right way during logging can become their god.

It doesn't have to be spiritual, and it doesn't have to be controlled by Honkai.The origin of everything may be just an accident and misunderstanding.But in this case, faith is established.The villagers regarded it as a miracle, established their beliefs, established shrines dedicated to the gods, and selected witches.

Decades, possibly centuries.This deity becomes reality.

And in this crumbling world.The fox back then may have died long ago.It is the statue in front of Siegfried who accepts the beliefs of the villagers but does not do anything practical.

In a sense, it is the origin of Yae Sakura's tragedy.

With the idea of ​​exploring the truth, Siegfried put his hand on the statue and felt the existence inside.

But it turned out to be a failure.Although this statue has been enshrined and believed by the villagers, and has been stored in this place where Honkai can easily gather for many years, it still has no sanity.And judging from the perception results just now, even the weird magnetic field fluctuations and the soul-absorbing eyes are all caused by this big stone that has been sealed in Yae Sakura for 500 years, absorbing the Houkai energy that escaped from her body. just got it.

But 500 years ago, it was just a simple stone statue.

Without gods, years of drought are not the wrath of gods.It's just the dry season.

Yae Village is undoubtedly a primitive and closed village.As for how closed?

The original book once mentioned that in the seventh year of Wenzheng, there was a long drought and no rain in the village. The villagers thought that the sacrifices in the last sacrifice were not virgins, so they asked for another sacrifice with the blood of witches as sacrifices.Yae Rin was selected, and then Yae Sakura's nightmare began.

And what is the concept of the seven years of Wenzheng?Wenzheng is one of the era names of Japan.After Kanzheng and before Yingren, it refers to 1466.And here lies the problem. Japan's era name was changed to Onin on March 1467, the second year of Wenzheng (April 4, 9 AD).In other words, the so-called Wenzheng Seven Years did not exist at all.

Yae Village will use such an era name, which can only show that they have no contact with the outside world after the first year of Wenzheng (1466) and before the second year of Wenzheng (1467). .Otherwise, the problem of their use of the wrong year name cannot be explained.

(Well, although it doesn't make much sense for a small mountain village to use the year name.)

It is precisely because of the isolation and lack of communication that the wisdom of the residents cannot be enlightened, which makes it so primitive and bloody.This tragedy was brewing.

"This...is really a sad story~"

Siegfried sighed deeply, not only lamenting the tragedy of Yae Sakura, but also celebrating the "brightness" of modern society.

Without wasting time on the statue, Siegfried withdrew his hand and started walking towards the back of the main hall.He didn't come here for a visit, his purpose was to find Yae Sakura as soon as possible.

However, the entire shrine is such a big place, after Siegfried searched several times and explored various places where there might be secret rooms, he still couldn't find Yae Sakura.

In this sealed space, Yae Shrine is the core.It is the real seal place of Yae Sakura.Therefore, after the entire shrine area, there are Houkai reactions with Yae Sakura's breath everywhere.It is simply unrealistic to find the real location of Yae Sakura by breath.

"Wait, breath...that stone statue!"

PS: Gout is really painful

PS2:

Choice A. You continue to cook, and to soothe your wounded soul, you enjoy a very substantial meal.But inevitably, until the wound heals, the precision of your fingers will drop.

Choice B. You knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.After suddenly remembering that your neighbor is a workaholic who leaves early and returns late, you return home helplessly, and choose to wrap toilet paper twice in a perfunctory manner.

Choose C. An unexpected scene on a winter morning.There is no one walking on the street at all.You successfully came to the self-service convenience store downstairs.Take your stuff, put your money down and leave.It's no different than ever.You just feel that the streets are much quieter today than they used to be.

Chapter 339 230. Yae Sakura's special meaning to Ziggy Fei!

As mentioned before, as the carrier of primitive belief, this fox statue had no power at first.The so-called sacrifice is just wishful thinking of the residents.

Therefore, after 500 years in a place where collapse can gather like the sealed space, the ability possessed by the idol is only a simple ability to confuse.

And this ability will obviously not be born out of thin air.As a simple polymer of calcium carbonate CaCO3, calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2, and calcium oxide CaO, it is not qualified to be favored by Houkai Neng.
