[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

I thought I had been very familiar with my close friend for many years, but when I looked back, I found that my understanding of him was still a mystery.And Lorca himself is now in a mystery.Can't help but make him infinitely emotional.

More and more clear memories bring more doubts.Master Libertas said that meditation can help clarify the confused mind.But Loka became more and more confused.The mind is disturbed and can no longer maintain a meditative state.

At this time, he found that the world of the Soloa pine forest had changed and turned into a maze. The high walls formed by shrubs soared into the sky, and standing in the maze made people feel very small.Looking in any direction, there will be several roads winding towards the endless distance in the misty white mist, and a high wall immediately turns into a few steps ahead.This is a maze of hide and seek.It changes anytime and anywhere.The rules are unpredictable.

Loka remembered, he had been here before!

This was one of his bar mitzvah trials many years ago.At that time, it was no problem for the agile Luoka to pass the guard of the giant Wuli tree.With the help of the "Morning Dew" refined by Mason, a large branch of the giant Wuli tree was easily obtained.The first stage of the trial passed quickly and entered the Soloa pine forest.But the trial of the second stage was extremely difficult.

Back then, the young Roka jumped into a maze with a happy mood.But he suffered a lot in this maze.He tried various methods, but none of the spells could be cracked, and his mood became more and more anxious.Simply break the wall with brute force.Punches and kicks are still standing still, even if the sharpness is as "morning dew", it can't break through these high walls that seem to be composed of bushes.Luoka's huge fists and ice blades transformed from spiritual power hit the high walls like a torrential rain. If it wasn't for the fact that this was in the Soroa pine forest, Luoka would have thrown a bunch of fireballs to destroy these hateful high walls. burn it.However, all attacks were absorbed.Then, puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff of ice blade and spiritual energy gathered from the wall, all of the previous attack was spit out, and Loka fled in a panic under his own attack.

Finally exhausted from tossing and tossing, Loka sat down under the high wall and closed his eyes to meditate. Only then did he realize that his mother Tilda had warned him the day before: Never use brute force when encountering difficulties in the trial.With the deepening of meditation, physical strength and energy gradually recovered.His mental power permeated as if he could touch the high wall, and he walked along the outline of the high wall of the maze, getting faster and faster, and soon reached the center of the maze, surrounded by layers of bushes, a huge ruby ​​exuded soft The light... When he opened his eyes, the magic key was already in his hand.

When Loka saw this familiar maze again at this time, he felt very kind in his heart.His heart settled down.Re-enter the meditative state.Sure enough, he found the magic key in the center of the maze as quickly as last time. The moment he touched the magic key, the whole world seemed to shake slightly, and he felt that his meditation state and the world were completely integrated.I don't know whether he has integrated into this world or the world has integrated into him.The world seems to be able to change with the mind.

Loka circulated his spiritual power, and the surrounding scenery changed. He found himself in the green forest after the rain. The moist deer moss and lichen after the rain drew a silver path in the secluded forest, decorated with colorful fungi. Among the grass.The melodious and ethereal calls of thrushes, gray warblers, and green cuckoos interweave and sing in the quiet forest.The scenery made him feel very familiar and intimate.This is where he walked countless times in his childhood.

He found a faint light floating around him at some point. It turned out to be the faint light of fireflies wandering in the shadows of the forest.He walked in the forest following the blurred lights of the stars, and golden epiphyllum gradually bloomed along the way.Loka came to the familiar garden following the guidance of Golden Epiphyllum.This is his home.

There is a pair of handsome middle-aged couple nestled in the garden. They have a noble temperament, and the vicissitudes of a hundred years have not damaged their beauty and elegance, but added to their charm.Lorca recognized them as his parents, the Presbyterians Livingston and Tilda.

Loka remembered—they were about to leave the secret realm of Alandi to guard the passage outside.Waiting to say goodbye to him.

"Father! Mom!" Loka happily ran to them.

Tilda smiled and took Lorca's hand, and turned to Livingston coquettishly: "Our little Lorca has grown up so quickly. I'm already an ugly old woman."

Livingston gently hugged her shoulder: "Then I will be an annoying old man who will always pester you."

Hey, you two are endless, and you are about to leave the secret realm, and there is no atmosphere of parting with your son at all—Lorka slandered dissatisfiedly.

Livingston patted Lorca on the head. In fact, Lorca was almost as tall as him, but the habit could not be changed for a while.

"Well, you did well in the coming-of-age ceremony trial. I came up with your task. Hehehe, it's indeed a bit more difficult than ordinary children, but it's definitely not a problem for my son of Livingston."

Tilda gave Livingston a light punch, "Hmph, you big villain! How dare you make things difficult for my son. Baby, mommy will teach him a lesson for you."

Livingston immediately complained with a bitter face: "Son, the labyrinth in the Soloa pine forest was created by your dear mother. She made you almost find the magic key."

"Nonsense, how could such a simple maze be difficult for our baby." Tilda raised her head proudly.

Lorca looked at the pair of live treasures very speechlessly.

Seemingly sensing his son's slander, Livingston cleared his throat and changed into an elder demeanor.In an instant, the father in front of Luoka exuded a light of wisdom, and his every gesture was naturally full of deep and steady background.

"Lorca, do you know why your trial is so special?"

Lorca shook his head.

"Based on your aptitude, you should be able to break through to the realm of a high-ranking priest soon. As a descendant of the Huiyue Clan, you will awaken the power in the ancient blood, and you will inherit the mission of the Huiyue Clan."

"At that time, you will start an endless trial of life. There is no limit to time, place, and difficulty."

Lorca was in awe.

"Lorca," Tilda pulled him, holding Livingston's hand, "We are guarding outside the secret realm, and you have to grow up here quickly. Guarding Aranti—this is our The mission passed down in the blood."

The three hands were tightly clasped together, and a magic teleportation array emerged under their feet.

Livingston and Tilda let go of Lorca's hand, and a gentle force moved him outside the teleportation circle.

Suddenly, Loka asked curiously, "What's it like outside the secret realm?"

"Like a bigger painting," Tilda replied thoughtfully.

Then the teleportation array emitted a white light, and the figures of Livingston and Tilda disappeared in the white light.

The scenery in front of Luoka turned into the Thoroa pine forest again.

"Mission?" Lorca mused.

A gust of wind blew up, and withered pine leaves began to fall in the forest.Desolation, withered yellow smeared in the Soloa pine forest, spreading layer by layer, and soon the Soroa pine forest he was in was all withered.

Loka saw a well in the middle of the Soroa pine forest, and through the layers of ice, he could vaguely see the faint light in the well.The ice spread spread, and the entire Soroa pine forest was frozen in huge ice crystals.

His surroundings turned into a mirror lake again, the sky and earth were gloomy, and the raging waves roared in the lake, and the reflection of Yimeiji's falling mountain was already being smashed by the raging waves.

Purple bolts of lightning flashed across the sky, as if they were about to split Yimeiji Luoshan.And Yimeiji Luoshan is also constantly avalanche of rubble.

He also saw the Doro Valley, where the wind howled, the rocks cracked, and many towering trees were uprooted.

There are also countless cracks in the mountains and rocks around the Wenti Basin.Affected by several violent turmoil around it, it is precarious, as if it will shatter at any time.

The sky above the secret realm of Alandi was covered with dense clouds of lead, and the entire secret realm was shrouded in gloom.

Loka suddenly had a strange feeling—the homeland he was familiar with since he was a child, the entire secret land of Alandi was like a giant painting with beautiful scenery, being torn and impacted by unknown forces from various directions, The majestic giant picture twisted.

The beautiful dream suddenly shattered into a nightmare.no no!No!Loka exclaimed, this must be a nightmare!Fear shocked Loka, and the scene in front of him became blurred and distorted.He immediately fell into a dark abyss, falling infinitely...
