My nemesis tempts me every day

The Whispering Forest is located to the west of the capital, and was listed as a restricted zone by the defense department of the capital due to the presence of high-level monsters.

—Of course this was many years ago.

Now, on the Ferga Continent ravaged by evil spirits, there has long been no distinction between restricted areas and non-enclosed areas, and there are only differences between occupied and non-occupied.

Before turning into evil spirits, human beings can be said to be the most vulnerable intelligent creatures in the world, no matter in terms of physique or elemental affinity, they are far inferior to sea monsters, angels or monsters.

But after being completely diseased, the evil spirit instantly surpassed other races.

It doesn't mean how powerful they are. In terms of destructive power, they are probably not as good as locusts, but they have a tenacious vitality comparable to tardigrades—oh, no, they have long since died.

The bodies of the evil spirits cannot be destroyed by any physical means. We can only wait for them to gradually decay. Even bombing with magic will have little effect, because even if they only have a piece of arm or a finger left, those crippled parts also have their own self. Consciousness, pursuing the "similar" marked by the imprint.

Unless they turn into bones, endless devouring and erosion is their eternal melody.

No one knew how the first evil spirit appeared. It was like a spark that sank into the grass and turned into a prairie fire.

Even in the face of the holy attacks of the knights, the magical attacks of the magicians, and even the expulsion of the holy voice of the saints of the Holy See, they all marched forward without any sign of retreating.

After listening to the eldest prince tell about some basic characteristics of the evil spirits, both Gorlando and Ronoye fell into deep contemplation.

Because they are not monsters, they will not be intimidated by the holy voice, and because they are already dead, ordinary attacks cannot hurt them at all. On a real battlefield, it is impossible to make them disappear completely in a short period of time.

"Maybe this is God's punishment for mankind."

At the end of the sentence, the eldest prince said in a lamenting tone.

Since the appearance of the evil spirits, the saints and high priests of the Holy See can no longer hear the voice of God. More tragedies followed.

Ferga's precarious years, every time he thinks about it, he will be very moved.

"Punishment?" Glando repeated the words of the eldest prince, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly mockingly.

"Is there something wrong?" Ronoye asked sideways.

After seeing Gorlando's smile, he didn't quite understand.

Gorlando shrugged with a smile on his shoulders, but did not speak.

He never believed in God.

What about being abandoned by God?The only ones who can save mankind are humans themselves, but in this country that worships theocracy extremely, and the Holy See and the emperor have almost equal rights, it doesn't make sense to tell them these estimates.

In contrast, it is more realistic to rush on the road. The forest in the dark is far more treacherous than in the bright daylight, and the danger can be said to be approaching every step of the way.

It was still bright before they entered the Whispering Forest, and the sun was still hanging on the horizon until now. Gorlando clearly felt the malicious sights around him, and those must belong to some of the species hidden behind the trees. High-level monsters, lacking in courage and coveting the flesh of the three of them, tried to swarm up and wipe them out one by one after dark.

But it’s not enough if we don’t go in this direction.

The Whispering Forest is full of man-eating plants. Before they got here, they experienced a lot of hard work and escape. Gorlando didn't want to meet them again.

It's not that he can't beat those plants, but that playing with fire rashly in the forest will only end in failure. After all, other types of magic are completely ineffective on man-eating plants.

The chirping of insects and the low roar of unknown monsters came and went one after another as the sky got darker, like a lullaby for the night, and pairs of golden eyes fluttered in the depths of those dark crevices, all of which made Ronoye feel Some uneasy.

It's just that I have come here and there is no reason to look back.

Life or death depends entirely on destiny.

As time passed, the sky slowly turned purple-blue, and the visible range in the forest became lower and lower.

Gorlando snapped his fingers to light up several magic light spheres surrounding them, and added three magic shields by the way.

Save those mosquito-like monsters entrenched on the side and staring at them.

After walking for another distance, there suddenly appeared a path that seemed to be man-made in front of his eyes.

The reason for saying this is that the soil around the trail is very new, as if someone walked by and the soles of their shoes brought different soil from elsewhere.

Gorlando stopped, squatted down and observed carefully, and confirmed his initial opinion that this is indeed not a naturally formed path.

"Someone might live here," he concluded.

Ronoye was shocked, and couldn't help saying: "How strong must a person be to live in the center of the forest surrounded by monsters?"

Gorlando stood up and said, "Go and see."

He didn't feel the aura of a strong man. There are two possibilities. One is that the other party is particularly good at hiding the aura, and the other is...the other party is much stronger than him.

If the other party is a good person, that would be great, but if the other party is a wicked person...

Gorlando clenched the staff beside him inch by inch.

If it was impossible, he could only abandon the eldest prince and flee to other places with the young master.

It's always good to be cautious anyway.

Walking down the abrupt path, the three of them heard the sound of gurgling water. After a while, the road ahead suddenly opened up, as if they had reached the end of the forest.

The trees here are getting scarcer. A wide stream runs between the two banks, connected by a wooden bridge in the middle. On the opposite bank, there is a natural stone cave sunken under the cliff. Countless thick vines hang from the outside of the cave. Gorlando saw a wooden house hidden behind those curtain-like vines.

Hmm... It's a simple wooden house that reminds me of a soul painter.

——There is still a certain gap between this and the residence of an expert outside the world he imagined.

However, the elemental factors in the vicinity are very peaceful, and there is no aura of any high-level monsters, which just shows how powerful the occupants are.

Glando asked Ronoye to help the eldest prince to wait outside for the time being, and he walked towards the stone cave behind the wooden bridge by himself.

When Glando's whole body was hidden under the shadow of the cliff, Ronoye leaned forward with his upper body, wanting to follow, and considering that there was an uncle who needed protection beside him, he felt left and right. Difficult.

He took a step forward and opened his eyes wide to see where Gorlando had gone. Gorlando turned around when he heard the movement behind him, and met the young master's worried gaze.

Why is this young master like a girl in love?

...Uh, it seems that it is not wrong to say that it is in love.

Gorlando helplessly showed a look mixed with comfort/consolation and restraint, and then walked towards the small door of the wooden house.

He knocked on the patched door, and got a response from the people inside after a while.

"You guys are walking too slowly, are those cannibals so hard to beat?"

The people inside spoke in a frivolous tone, and Shi Shiran opened the door for Golando.

The opponent's clothes were made of monster skin, his hair was messed up like a savage, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"Oh, let the two people behind you come in quickly, I think His Royal Highness is going to be overwhelmed."

The man said and pulled Golando in, then waved to Ronoye and Justis and shouted loudly: "Hey, you come in too."

Gorlando, who was pulled into the room, was still staring at the man's back, and didn't say a word for a while.

His heart was shaking like thunder and lightning.

"you……"

When he spoke, Gorlando found that his voice was a little out of tune.

It was really too frightening.

After greeting the young master and the eldest prince, the person turned his head and looked Golando up and down, blinked mischievously and said, "Huh? Are you surprised? Oh, you didn't expect to see someone who looks exactly like you here?" people?"

Having said that, Gorlando calmed down a little.

In any case, he was teleported to the future, so it is not impossible to meet this person in front of him.

He changed his tone and said calmly: "It's not exactly the same, you are me, aren't you?"

It turns out that the fact that I don’t want to be beaten when I laugh has not changed after so many years.

At this time, Ronoye and Justis also walked outside the wooden house one after another. When the young master saw the owner's face clearly by the candlelight, he couldn't hide his surprise at all.

His mouth opened and closed, and he choked out a few words almost like aphasia: "Ge, Lando?"

The owner of the house nodded his head as if smashing garlic, and said casually: "Yes, yes, I am the adult version of the person next to you."

Gorlando looked at his "adult version" with mixed feelings.

Although it wasn't reliable at first, he didn't want to grow into such an inconspicuous appearance at all.

Looking at the two Gorlando who were almost the same in appearance, except for their different outfits, Ronoye seemed to be in a dream.

——That powerful person who lives in the Whispering Forest... is actually the future Golando?

——Does that mean that everything that happened in these years can be learned from the mouth of this future Gorlando?

Both Ronoye and the original Gorlando were thoughtful, and they didn't say anything for a while.

It was the First Prince Justis who broke the silence at this moment.

He raised his head and turned his face to the direction of future Golando from his memory, and said with admiration: "Ferga's first and last holy magician, I didn't expect to meet you in this kind of place."

Justis also heard the conversation just now, and it is easy to think that it seems that the person who has been protecting Ronoye all the time is the former Glando Harrison, and this person rescued himself from the beheading stage His little nephew didn't really come back from the dead, but traveled from the past to the future for unknown reasons.

The adult version of Gorlando, known as the Holy Magician, grinned, and he didn't show much respect in front of the former eldest prince.

"You didn't expect that I have waited too long."

He said something that confused the three present to the extreme.

The mysteries in Gorlando's heart are like snowballs, and he has a premonition that these mysteries will be solved after meeting this future self.

The author has something to say: In the comments in the last chapter, you are all asking where did Duoduo go, come on, what you want, Duoduo is here o(￣ヘ￣o#)

By the way, I also want to easily correct the drama in this article. What kind of weird force majeure is this orz

No, I want to come back, I want to stick to the happy tone of bullying the young master!
