【Dark Souls】The Story of the Nameless
Chapter 4: King Soul
Set off
Travelers from the world, no matter where they enter Rhodeland or what they come for, they will eventually gather on that high platform, and then, through the comfort of the sky and the comfort of the flames, the travelers wait there for all the things in the world to settle under the ashes , Then, they will set off again, setting off for a certain place.
Therefore, although that high platform is the place of beginning and meeting, it will not be the place of end. Everyone who comes to Rhodeland will not stay here for a long time, because they have their own dreams and desires. If you wait in the place, then nothing will happen; everyone will go to the place of sacrifice, but everyone will leave the place of sacrifice, maybe disappear forever, or fulfill their dreams and go back to somewhere, in any case, that place is not It will be hometown, the ideal called hometown is just an illusion, something more fragile than the rising sun of Rhodeland.
That is the fire transmission sacrificial field, a fire that exists only to transmit and connect flames, other than that, it has no meaning.
Through the royal weapon... to find her.
Yes, I see it, the flames flickering under the eyelids, stretching from the capital, like an astrolabe dotted in the darkness... In it, a long-extinct ember fell in the middle, and all the flames were towards it, or from it Spread out—it's the firewoman's bonfire, wrapped in mist.
Suddenly, the morning light of Anor Londe disappeared without a trace, and after half a day, a midday light illuminated the darkness.Opening my eyes, I saw the bonfire that had been extinguished for a long time coming in front of me. The ancient broken sword was still stuck in it, and there were ash scattered around it, and no one touched it.
The long road disappeared in an instant, and now I am back here, a strange homeland... The sacrificial field is as unchanged as before, false, loose but still reluctant to leave.But now, I'm familiar with this land, it's home now and nothing can replace it.
But I didn't know it was so lively here before. When I got up from the extinguished bonfire, I heard some noises in the corner. I thought it was where Gurigus was, and there seemed to be two more people talking; In the direction of the elevator, I felt someone was there, but it wasn't Laurendis, I knew he was still meditating in front of the dead tree, and that person should be somewhere further behind... Now in the entire sacrificial field There are five people plus a snake.But it would be better if there were more people.
Home.
...Ah, finally—I saw you again.Are you OK?I know you're not looking well right now, but you're going to be fine, fireproof girl, daughter of the sun promised...but if...
"Fireproof girl, this is your soul... who am I talking to? Maybe your soul and your body are both." I murmured.
I still held her in my trembling hands and knelt outside the iron gate without moving.For a moment, I wanted to keep her, humanity called me... Her soul aroused the greed buried deep in my heart, but when I thought of my own attire, I always felt that there was no slightest mistake; I was still atoning, Because of this, I cannot indulge myself.
Go back, nameless, remember your will, your life shouldn’t make mistakes again and again...
At this time, the silver-gray sphere was wriggling, and the human nature inside was touching me through the gauntlet, but compared with the souls of the other fire girls, it was more lively and vigorous, like a newly rising fireball.You can't wait, I know, it's just that I'm not ready for all of this... drink-... hoo-... Well, it's time.I approached the iron gate and tried to put my soul in the arms of the Fireproof Woman.It can't just be in the hands, it must go back to the place closest to the heart.
However, when the soul touched her clothes, it disappeared, and slid into the body of the fireproof woman like a stream of water, and entangled for a long time, until I saw her scars gradually disappear, and her tattered body slowly repaired.The moment the soul disappeared, the fire-proof woman also came back, but not only the scar caused by Lautrec disappeared, but when she moved, her feet were no longer numb, as if she had never been injured.
... You really came back alive... The daughter of the sun didn't lie to me, you are still alive, you deserve to die...
"... oh, thank you so much." She was talking, and for God's sake, her voice was just as I imagined it would be!Her weak and helpless voice lingered in my ears, "...I am Anastasia from Astra...Thanks to you, I can continue to work as a Fireproof Lady...But please forgive me for not Jie's voice has defiled you."
"No, no! Please talk to me a little more, I beg you!"
"...I'm sorry...I'm not pure anymore, I shouldn't make any noise...so...please...don't talk to me...please..."
"But only you are with me on this journey, Anastasia, only you," I want to tear the railing, yes, just do it!It is because of this stupid cage that you suffer so much! "You are the holiest...you give me light!"
"...I am the undead fireproof girl... I am your humble firewood..."
Please don't put yourself down like this, Anastasia...please don't...do you exist just for this job?Tell me, Anastasia, is this job holding you back?
"...please stop...please..."
no no!Don't look at me like that, I just want to help you!I...I just want you to get your rights...please don't cry.
I'm sorry Anastasia, I'm sorry I screwed up again, I know this outfit can't hide my filth, no matter how shiny it is, it's just a facade... But someday I'll qualify myself for your favor , Anastasia!Anastasia... my holy Fire Lady.
"I'll come again, I'll keep coming until the day you're willing to talk to me. That's it, Miss Anastasia, this is my oath, Frémimo's nameless oath to you, I will Protect you until the flames die," I said to her.I know you won't answer, but as long as you don't say no, that's enough.This is the oath, the first oath after Bernice, from now on, I am your knight, Anastasia, your knight and servant.
Let me see, the next thing is to... Go to the snake, said Gwynavia.Well, go find it if you want.
But as soon as I got back to the upper floor, I was dragged by the rekindled bonfire, which swayed in the round platform, and the heat and sparks flew into the Rhodes blue sky-that was really something I hadn’t looked at carefully for a long time, maybe I can see it more now, understand it a little more, so that I can get closer to Anastasia... No, how is that possible.
But I am really fascinated by this flame. It is so fascinating. If one day the undead disappear and the bonfire goes out, will there be something as fascinating as this flame in the future?If not, then I will feel its brilliance more now... Just like when I escaped from the Undead Court, the warm, peaceful flame...
"Hey, yo, friend."
Um?Where have I heard this voice?
Turning my head, I saw the big onion sitting opposite me.Big Onion, Sigmeier, why did you choose to appear at this time?As soon as I thought about it, I realized I wasn't wearing my helmet.At least in front of Sigmeier, I have to wear a helmet, because when I see him, I think of the madness at that time... That kind of loss of control is really a shame.Why did I see you at this moment?Can't you give me a little time to pretend?
Please, please don't remember me, don't remember that dirty guy...
"Hmm... oh! I didn't expect to see you here. Nameless, right." Sigmeier said.
It's over, he still remembers. "Yes, probably."
"You've got new equipment, it looks good! Well, it's exquisite, it's exquisite and sleek, and it's new, just like... those silver knights? Wow."
"Yes, the same as the Silver Knight." Since I can't hide, should I tell him about that?But tell him I went crazy trying to kill him... what's the point?
"Hmmmmmmmmmm...ahha, I see, you found the treasure house, right?"
"Well, in a— way," my voice drifted, God knows why, "it's kind of like a reward."
"Have you seen a god? Water, my friend!"
'Water'?It sounds like some kind of special word, I don't know what it means, but judging from Sigmeier's hard work, it is probably something for young people.It seems that I am really old.
At this time, Sigmayer handed me a piece of black bread, and he said: "There is never too much reward, right?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Don't be like this, no one in this place is willing to eat with me!" He stretched out his arms so hard that Sigmaiya almost fell to the ground.I'm really worried that he won't be able to get up by himself. After all, the armor is not flexible, and it's even too big to get in the way.
Finally, I gave in. "...Thank you, Big Onion."
"You're welcome, nameless man." He took off his helmet and put it on the left side, then took out another piece of black bread from the small luggage on the right side.Sigmeier's appearance was not far from the one he imagined, with two thick eyebrows and a groomed beard hanging on his broad and thick face, and a kind smile under his broad nose; he was a Generous people are both generous and thick-skinned fools.
At first, I thought he was about to bite off the bread, but Sigmeier hesitated for a while, looking at the food in his hand, he was eager but lacking in interest.After a while, he murmured, "I should have brought more dried avocado, it's just a slice of bread now."
"Is it simply because there are no ingredients?" I asked.
"Hey, ingredients matter! Food has no life without ingredients!"
"Hehehe... life?"
"Hmm...well, forget it, today is different," he started to eat while talking, "ummm... how many times can it be like today?"
"What about today?"
"To be able to eat in front of the bonfire with my friends today is the most unusual thing since I came to Rhodeland!"
Sigmaiya chewed the bread carefully, and I tried to eat some after a while.The rough black bread was just as it appeared in my memory. I held it in my mouth, and the saliva soaked and softened it, but it was still as thick as sackcloth; Survival, but I can't stop myself from trying this action. It reminds me of every moment on the battlefield. The figures of my partners are vivid in my mind, and their laughter comes from afar. It sounds depressing, but it's passable .
"It's really nice bread," I said.
"Although the food is very good, we still have to save some food. After all, there is no cook here to help us bake bread!" After Sigmaiya finished speaking, he realized that he had eaten two-thirds of his portion.Then, after a lot of struggle, he decided to put it into his mouth in one go; this time Sigmeier ate more slowly, he repeatedly bit the food and tasted it all with satisfaction. "But since we've finished eating, there's nothing we can do about it, let's find a way to make some later. What a fun meal, my friend!"
"You're talking about..." How can I hide from such an innocent and honest person?Looks like it's time to tell him the truth, "Sigmeier—"
"Hey, that's right!" Sigmeier interrupted me, "You defeated those silver knights, right? You alone?"
"What? Uh, yes, it took a little effort, after all, those knights are not easy to mess with."
"You are really capable, you are beyond my imagination! Thanks to you, my adventure can continue...Although it is a bit late, I, Sigmeier, thank you here, come, this is me Please accept my kindness, please accept it," he threw a small ring to me, and then said: "But I'm a little worried about you, don't be too reckless, although it's good to be safe, but there must be a safer way... I must want to get it!"
The ring was not very eye-catching, but it could be felt that it had a little power. "When you think of a way, we'll all turn into living corpses, Big Onion."
"I admit that I'm a bit tepid, but that doesn't mean your impulsiveness is a good thing."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Afterwards, we talked for a while, or rather I just listened to him, and listened to him talk about his adventures along the way.Sigmeier told me that he was adventuring in Rodland, pursuing legends and romance—he said that his intuition told him that becoming an undead was the will of fate. He had slept in his hometown for too long in the past. Now, it is time to wake up , he thought he had to go on a grand adventure, to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth like a real knight.Then, Sigmeier talked about his more than 30 years in the army in Catalina. During that period, he never had the opportunity to practice the so-called "adventure". Now he is an undead, so he pursues the legend , Inquiring into the anecdotes of the ages is his task-everything is justified.so romantic.
I asked him, isn't he worried about his family?Because Sigmaiya told me that he is a man with a wife and children, so I couldn't help worrying whether it would be too irresponsible to just leave them alone?And Sigmeier proudly replied that his daughter is also a member of the Knights. Her achievements are not inferior to men, and she is independent and strong like her mother, while his shrewd wife is eager for him to leave the house as soon as possible, so as not to stand in front of him. It was in the way and eye-catching—so Sigmeier went out with confidence, without worrying at all.That home, he said, was stronger than armor made by craftsmen in Catalina, and he didn't need to worry about what would happen to them, and the two women couldn't possibly worry about his departure.
Finally, the time point of the story comes to the nearest.Sigmeier said that when he was trapped in front of the gate of the ancient city of Sain, he suddenly heard the bell, the bell of adventure, and when the bell rang, the gate of the ancient city opened; Encountered some difficulties, which can be called the greatest crisis in this life, but he still passed it safely, just like before.
"There is no danger!" said the big onion: "Madam of the lake, bless me, I have encountered countless difficulties in Rhodeland, but I have never encountered such torture as in the ancient city. There are traps and enemies everywhere. You also know that I can't move fast, so I always move carefully at my own pace, and kill those monsters who come to make trouble with one sword, two swords! But that big iron ball—that thing I really There was no way, they rolled down the death ramp one by one, and after a while, I found myself trapped on the platform below. Watching the iron balls rolling past my eyes one by one, the embarrassment in my heart was beyond words... Originally, I I wanted to roll along with it, but it didn't work, it would make me dizzy, so I thought about it for a long time, and then I really came up with a good idea, that is to climb up the slope !…Hey, I’m serious, although I’m not light, I’m not too weak to climb rocks, even if I have an extra weight of equipment, it doesn’t prevent me from taking risks!”
I know the trap, that thing is pretty nasty. "Okay, so you just go over like this? Hanging on the side of the slope?"
Sigmeier closed his eyes, as if recalling the situation at that time.Then, he said, "Tell you about an incredible thing... Actually when I was getting ready to climb, I noticed that the iron ball hadn't appeared in a while. Where did that thing go? Did someone give it to me?" Did it stop? Then I sneaked up a bit—you'd never believe what I saw, I saw a footprint go up the entrance I just came in, and there was some kind of black oily smear all over the walls and floor."
"Wow."
"It's weird, isn't it? Then I followed that trail, and I didn't expect that thing to guide me off the death ramp! What's even more incredible is that I saw another iron ball trap. The iron ball on the slope rolled into the inside, and the thing turned and turned in the city, but the footprints did not stop and went up all the way. It extended all the way to an edge post on the uphill, and I saw that post It was full of oil stains, and the traces were gone until then——At this moment, I felt that the lady of the lake wanted me to trust the steps of the forward brave man, so I took advantage of the gap between the iron balls and rushed straight towards the pillar! Then jump off!"
"Wow... wow."
"—Below is a platform, which is built on the iron ball ramp, and on the opposite side is a big crack, which can lead to the interior of the castle. At this time, I found a corpse of a basilisk on the platform, and the platform is also There are bloodstains... Someone really came here! My God, it's incredible! So with his help, I just escaped from the iron ball level... Let me tell you, this brave man gave me a lot of confidence Zeng, I am destined to continue to take risks and see more things. Alas, the ancient city of Sion, sure enough, that place is exactly what the blacksmith said, it is a place of trials, and that castle gave me an opportunity to test my spirit , I feel that my courage and enthusiasm are growing stronger than when I stayed in the human world... By the way, I even saved a prisoner there. I really can't imagine, how could there be a prisoner there? He is still a magician! ... Hehe, he said his name is Logan, and that person has also arrived at the sacrificial place now."
"Logan? The big hat Logan?" If I remember correctly, it was the master of magic that Guligus never forgot.
"Yes, 'Big Hat'." Suddenly, Sigmeier lowered his volume, "To be honest, he was a legend more than 200 years ago...so I don't know if that guy is really a 'Big Hat'. But Well, maybe it is, after all his disciples have said so, and this kind of thing is not unusual in Rodland. Have you seen Guligus? - Ah, yes, have you met a black man The little scholar just inquired about this matter with me, he seemed to be very worried about the safety of Mr. Hei... But... how does he look? It seems to have short black hair, blue eyes? And he looks very strong... ...Probably looks like you, maybe he is your brother, a long-lost blood relative! ——Hahaha, just kidding! Actually, I don’t understand the literary descriptions of Guligus, what kind of appearance Simple but fierce, noble-hearted, and so on, and very good at fighting, almost no different from a madman... um... sounds like a strange character. Maybe those footprints were left by that surname Hei, after all, he seems to be I also went to the ancient city of Sion. Hey, Wuming, what expression do you have?"
"It's okay, leave me alone." I said.
"Anyway, have you ever seen such a character?"
"No, not a single shadow."
"Oh? What a pity, the little scholar's expectations have failed... In a way, it's a pity for you. Although I haven't met him, I think he and you must get along very well. That kind of 'good at fighting' character. Let me say, you really have to change your character, if you continue like this, you will kill yourself sooner or later!"
"You should worry about yourself first, you have been trapped several times along the way..."
"Hahaha—there's always a way!"
"Yes, 'there is a way'."
"Okay——" Sigmeier put on the helmet, and even though he was wearing thick armor, he got up effortlessly, "A proper rest, a proper adventure, and then I should go! I have completed the God City. After the trip, I wanted to go down there. I heard that there is a big swamp called the sick village. It is rumored that there is the source of mysterious spells, and there are even secrets and treasures of ancient dragons hidden in that poisonous water—— ——The legend is like this, I heard it from the travelers at the foot of the mountain. Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, maybe I can find something new when I go there. After all, the lady of the lake is always Take care of me, let alone the waterside that is close to her?"
"The Village of Disease is not a good place to visit. Believe me, you will regret it terribly."
"That's just right. After all, adventures are meant for challenges. There's no point in taking the easy path!"
"Then I advise you to bring more herbs. You can go to the Black Forest to find these things, and I can give you some if necessary. Anyway, I have prepared a lot."
"Don't worry about me. Captain Sigmaiya in Catalina is not as bad as you imagined. I can prepare equipment and supplies by myself. What about you? After passing through the capital, you have plans Where are you going?"
"I..." I stood up and replied, "I'm going to be busy after finishing some things, but I don't know what I'm going to be busy with yet."
"You're the kind of person who has to accomplish something, I understand, so it must be a great adventure waiting for you next, right?"
"I've had enough of greatness. If it could end on a more modest note, I think I might be happier..."
At this time, Sigmeier's eyes fell into the distance, and he said: "I don't know if that black man will come back? Guligus said that the treasure originally belonged to him... Maybe he has become a living thing." Maybe it’s dead, who knows?”
It was only then that I noticed that what he was looking at was the big sword, the sword of the black knight inserted in front of the blue-clothed warrior's seat. "...I don't know, maybe it's good to become a living corpse."
"If it really becomes a living corpse, it will be difficult. Guys like that, berserkers, etc., must be a difficult enemy!...Okay, I'm going to set off, and I hope that neither of us will become living corpses! "As soon as he finished speaking, he calmly walked towards the elevator in the parish. Maybe Sigmeier wanted to go to Andre's for preparations before departure.
ah!I still didn't tell him that - honestly, does he know what I'm trying to say?
Really?No, he sure didn't know anything.hope so.
is there?At the end of the road lay the head of a snake, but it lay motionless on the ground, snoring loudly.Unexpectedly, I was going to talk to a snake, and it was only a sleeping snake.Will it eat me in one bite?Or will it just sleep like this until the end comes?
"Hey, Nameless, why didn't you say hello when you came back? By the way, why did you come back from behind?" Laurendis stopped me when I passed the path to the old temple.
"I thought you were meditating."
He was still standing next to the dead tree, and it seemed that there were some sprouts on the tree at this moment, but after looking carefully, I realized that it was a phantom.
"'It's good to be a living corpse', that's really interesting," Laurendis raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you are eager to abandon the past."
"It's time to let go of the past, Laurendis."
"But that's still you, Wuming, don't forget that you are created by the past..." He raised his head, and seemed a little surprised when he saw me, "Oh? So you can also wear clothes Huh? But now you are really different, you look like a city person, even though you are still a magician at heart. You can't hide that kind of temperament, nameless."
"Since someone gave it to me, I won't wear it in white." I shrugged.
"...Well... I think you are no longer hesitating," Laurendis smiled brightly, "This is a good thing, and you seem to be ready to accept more things! Why, you got the apocalypse in the House of God? "
"There's been so much—so much... that I don't know where to begin."
"If you think the time has come, tell me your story... So, urbanites, are you going to learn a little more now?"
Hmm...it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that. "Of course, sir."
So I asked him for some knowledge, about flames, about legends, all kinds of things, just like listening to stories.Those things are very fresh. This is the first time I have learned something again since I was in the Immortal Academy. I was taken care of by a half-baked magician. He said that you must be literate so that you won’t be deceived. At the beginning, the people of Fremimo were subject to the Baijiao because they were too stupid—at that time, when I knew I could learn, and When I can learn more, the throbbing in my heart is indescribable. It is a kind of power and power, an invisible gift that I have never understood... Just like now, I always feel that I can move forward again. After all, I am standing here alive. , learn from a friend about fire and life.
Maybe I should go to see Gurigus, even if it's not for learning, it's good to check his condition... But it's still later, he must have a lot of things to ask that Master Logan, I'm going now only will bother them.
"Some people say that the flame is equal to the soul, maybe this is true, because a strong fire comes from a strong soul, and the stronger the fire, the stronger the effect of the spell. It's just that the soul is strong and the cultivation of the flame is not considered. It's useless to have a strong soul..." Laurendis said, "Oh, sorry, you should have known it long ago, after all, you are also a magician."
"I don't think I know such a thing."
"Very humble, nameless, you shouldn't be so humble. Speaking of which, just now you talked about the sick village with that gentleman, but there is actually one thing I haven't told you clearly... When I went to the bottom, I actually wanted to Going to the sick village, as for the purpose, it has something to do with that legend."
"To find the origin? Like what Sigmeier said?"
"Yes, every conjurer dreams of finding the origin of the flame... According to legend, the first conjure fire was given by a woman from the village of sickness, and later, through distribution, nurturing, and distribution again , the fire of incantation spread throughout the world, but whether it is the extreme east or the west sea, the most heretic or the purest flame, all the fire of incantation originates from that great person—the witch of Izaris, the legendary The mother of magic, and the flames she possesses are the ancestors of our powers, and that mother goddess is also the holder of the purest and ancient art of fire... Therefore, when I became undead, I felt ecstatic! I've finally had the good fortune to be exposed to this ancient craft... Of course, the ending is not always so romantic."
"One setback doesn't mean anything, just try a few more times, anyway, we have plenty of time to try."
"Hahaha——Although you are a good conjurer, you are not very good at comforting people... In short, it is said that the mother of conjuration is still wandering in the sick village, but I have no ability to challenge there, so I choose Here I continue to cultivate my flame until I am strong enough to face the difficulties. I don't know how long it will take, but like you said, we have plenty of time to try."
"But I don't see 'living people' there."
"I believe there will be some footprints left there, the source of everything... As for how to meet it, it depends on the opportunity."
"Interesting, I'll tell you about the Mother of Spells if I run into it someday," I said, "if I ever want to go to that damn place again."
"Don't say it too early, you have a deep relationship with Huo Huo, maybe you will come into contact with those ancient secrets earlier than me..." Then, Laurendis waved his hand, trying to urge me to leave, "Okay, you want to find that snake, undead hero? If so, hurry up and wake it up, that thing has been snoring there for too long!"
"As you please, teacher."
"I'm not good at being a teacher, Wuming, just let us be brothers."
"Would you like me to be your brother?"
"You already are. We share the same source of fire, don't we? The fate of fire, nameless, is stronger and more meaningful than any blood relationship. Why, is it too nasty to say that?"
"No, I'm just... happy," Laurendis, you don't know how happy I am, "Thank you, brother, for giving me something to rely on... Thank you."
Laurendis raised his lips.He said, "Remember, you are not alone, the flame is with you, nameless."
The sacrificial ground is like a home, if it is for this small place, I think I can come back a few more times - if I can make it the real home of the undead, how good would it be?Although I know that this is just a relay station, and all the same kind will only come and go here, but I imagine that the fire-spreading sacrificial field is a more lively and comfortable place, more like a settlement, which really meets the "fire-spreading" A place with the word...Since everyone says that Rodland is the only place where the undead can come, why not make this place more like a place where people can live?Maybe, maybe like a country!After all, this was already a country, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to revive it again.
But what if someone becomes a living corpse?What if no one in this place wants to help each other?Yet this naive idea lingers in my mind, just as my predecessors and companions intended to achieve great things, those lingering at the bottom, enslaved races trying to break free from control and create a truly free land, and I, I imagine Whether he can make the exiled or chased undead stand under the sky again.
Is the snake in front of me the key to this vision?Or, am I qualified to imagine those huge wishes that are almost impossible?
"Hey you," I called from two steps away, "wake up!"
However, it still slept soundly and snored deafeningly.This went on until I punched the snake. "... huh? No, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, wide awake! Don't think of me as an old snake." It woke up, the huge snake head swaying in the air .
Should he really be called a snake?That thing has a human nose and two rows of human teeth exposed. It looks evil and weird... But since the other party claims to be a snake, why should I doubt it? "Yo, you, you are the... snake that Gwen Aviar said, right?"
"Gwen Avia?... Oh, my God, you did it! You got back the royal weapon! After a thousand years! It's you, it's really you! Drink croak——drink croak——!"
There's something wrong with that guy.
"...Forgive me, I should really calm down. Now, let's take the container and hit the road."
"Wait, what's on the road?"
"I'm assuming you're ready, now, don't move."
"You're fucking talking—" In an instant, I was eaten by its sour mouth.
What does this old thing usually eat?I lay on its tongue, trying not to let myself fall in, but the stench from the depths kept coming, it was like a mixture of carrion and acid, and there was even a strange sweetness in it... ...stinks so bad that I can almost see the smell in pictures!
picture?No, there were no images, and the stench brought only darkness, deep and dense darkness...
(Uh-ah--)
(—Crack!)
……Out?I don't know when, I have fallen to the ground.I am on a huge dilapidated ancient stone bridge. There is bottomless darkness on both sides of the bridge, and the surrounding is surrounded by ancient giant walls. Unknown lights and flames are dotted in it. Can illuminate the road.This place is confusing, I don't feel like I'm below, I don't feel like I'm above, although the huge tree roots extend down from the square hall, but I can't be sure that I can get through the tree roots above. To Rhodeland.
At this time, the snake was hanging upside down on my head, it ground its teeth, and two long sarcoid tumors were hanging in the air.Big snake said. "This is the House of Fire that belongs to the successor of King Gwen. Now, put the king's artifact on the altar."
In the direction where the snake was looking, there was a large and thick stone gate, which was located on the top of the stone steps, and was illuminated by two stone torches.There is also a tree root directly in front of the door, it looks like old tree residue left by loggers, but look
Travelers from the world, no matter where they enter Rhodeland or what they come for, they will eventually gather on that high platform, and then, through the comfort of the sky and the comfort of the flames, the travelers wait there for all the things in the world to settle under the ashes , Then, they will set off again, setting off for a certain place.
Therefore, although that high platform is the place of beginning and meeting, it will not be the place of end. Everyone who comes to Rhodeland will not stay here for a long time, because they have their own dreams and desires. If you wait in the place, then nothing will happen; everyone will go to the place of sacrifice, but everyone will leave the place of sacrifice, maybe disappear forever, or fulfill their dreams and go back to somewhere, in any case, that place is not It will be hometown, the ideal called hometown is just an illusion, something more fragile than the rising sun of Rhodeland.
That is the fire transmission sacrificial field, a fire that exists only to transmit and connect flames, other than that, it has no meaning.
Through the royal weapon... to find her.
Yes, I see it, the flames flickering under the eyelids, stretching from the capital, like an astrolabe dotted in the darkness... In it, a long-extinct ember fell in the middle, and all the flames were towards it, or from it Spread out—it's the firewoman's bonfire, wrapped in mist.
Suddenly, the morning light of Anor Londe disappeared without a trace, and after half a day, a midday light illuminated the darkness.Opening my eyes, I saw the bonfire that had been extinguished for a long time coming in front of me. The ancient broken sword was still stuck in it, and there were ash scattered around it, and no one touched it.
The long road disappeared in an instant, and now I am back here, a strange homeland... The sacrificial field is as unchanged as before, false, loose but still reluctant to leave.But now, I'm familiar with this land, it's home now and nothing can replace it.
But I didn't know it was so lively here before. When I got up from the extinguished bonfire, I heard some noises in the corner. I thought it was where Gurigus was, and there seemed to be two more people talking; In the direction of the elevator, I felt someone was there, but it wasn't Laurendis, I knew he was still meditating in front of the dead tree, and that person should be somewhere further behind... Now in the entire sacrificial field There are five people plus a snake.But it would be better if there were more people.
Home.
...Ah, finally—I saw you again.Are you OK?I know you're not looking well right now, but you're going to be fine, fireproof girl, daughter of the sun promised...but if...
"Fireproof girl, this is your soul... who am I talking to? Maybe your soul and your body are both." I murmured.
I still held her in my trembling hands and knelt outside the iron gate without moving.For a moment, I wanted to keep her, humanity called me... Her soul aroused the greed buried deep in my heart, but when I thought of my own attire, I always felt that there was no slightest mistake; I was still atoning, Because of this, I cannot indulge myself.
Go back, nameless, remember your will, your life shouldn’t make mistakes again and again...
At this time, the silver-gray sphere was wriggling, and the human nature inside was touching me through the gauntlet, but compared with the souls of the other fire girls, it was more lively and vigorous, like a newly rising fireball.You can't wait, I know, it's just that I'm not ready for all of this... drink-... hoo-... Well, it's time.I approached the iron gate and tried to put my soul in the arms of the Fireproof Woman.It can't just be in the hands, it must go back to the place closest to the heart.
However, when the soul touched her clothes, it disappeared, and slid into the body of the fireproof woman like a stream of water, and entangled for a long time, until I saw her scars gradually disappear, and her tattered body slowly repaired.The moment the soul disappeared, the fire-proof woman also came back, but not only the scar caused by Lautrec disappeared, but when she moved, her feet were no longer numb, as if she had never been injured.
... You really came back alive... The daughter of the sun didn't lie to me, you are still alive, you deserve to die...
"... oh, thank you so much." She was talking, and for God's sake, her voice was just as I imagined it would be!Her weak and helpless voice lingered in my ears, "...I am Anastasia from Astra...Thanks to you, I can continue to work as a Fireproof Lady...But please forgive me for not Jie's voice has defiled you."
"No, no! Please talk to me a little more, I beg you!"
"...I'm sorry...I'm not pure anymore, I shouldn't make any noise...so...please...don't talk to me...please..."
"But only you are with me on this journey, Anastasia, only you," I want to tear the railing, yes, just do it!It is because of this stupid cage that you suffer so much! "You are the holiest...you give me light!"
"...I am the undead fireproof girl... I am your humble firewood..."
Please don't put yourself down like this, Anastasia...please don't...do you exist just for this job?Tell me, Anastasia, is this job holding you back?
"...please stop...please..."
no no!Don't look at me like that, I just want to help you!I...I just want you to get your rights...please don't cry.
I'm sorry Anastasia, I'm sorry I screwed up again, I know this outfit can't hide my filth, no matter how shiny it is, it's just a facade... But someday I'll qualify myself for your favor , Anastasia!Anastasia... my holy Fire Lady.
"I'll come again, I'll keep coming until the day you're willing to talk to me. That's it, Miss Anastasia, this is my oath, Frémimo's nameless oath to you, I will Protect you until the flames die," I said to her.I know you won't answer, but as long as you don't say no, that's enough.This is the oath, the first oath after Bernice, from now on, I am your knight, Anastasia, your knight and servant.
Let me see, the next thing is to... Go to the snake, said Gwynavia.Well, go find it if you want.
But as soon as I got back to the upper floor, I was dragged by the rekindled bonfire, which swayed in the round platform, and the heat and sparks flew into the Rhodes blue sky-that was really something I hadn’t looked at carefully for a long time, maybe I can see it more now, understand it a little more, so that I can get closer to Anastasia... No, how is that possible.
But I am really fascinated by this flame. It is so fascinating. If one day the undead disappear and the bonfire goes out, will there be something as fascinating as this flame in the future?If not, then I will feel its brilliance more now... Just like when I escaped from the Undead Court, the warm, peaceful flame...
"Hey, yo, friend."
Um?Where have I heard this voice?
Turning my head, I saw the big onion sitting opposite me.Big Onion, Sigmeier, why did you choose to appear at this time?As soon as I thought about it, I realized I wasn't wearing my helmet.At least in front of Sigmeier, I have to wear a helmet, because when I see him, I think of the madness at that time... That kind of loss of control is really a shame.Why did I see you at this moment?Can't you give me a little time to pretend?
Please, please don't remember me, don't remember that dirty guy...
"Hmm... oh! I didn't expect to see you here. Nameless, right." Sigmeier said.
It's over, he still remembers. "Yes, probably."
"You've got new equipment, it looks good! Well, it's exquisite, it's exquisite and sleek, and it's new, just like... those silver knights? Wow."
"Yes, the same as the Silver Knight." Since I can't hide, should I tell him about that?But tell him I went crazy trying to kill him... what's the point?
"Hmmmmmmmmmm...ahha, I see, you found the treasure house, right?"
"Well, in a— way," my voice drifted, God knows why, "it's kind of like a reward."
"Have you seen a god? Water, my friend!"
'Water'?It sounds like some kind of special word, I don't know what it means, but judging from Sigmeier's hard work, it is probably something for young people.It seems that I am really old.
At this time, Sigmayer handed me a piece of black bread, and he said: "There is never too much reward, right?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Don't be like this, no one in this place is willing to eat with me!" He stretched out his arms so hard that Sigmaiya almost fell to the ground.I'm really worried that he won't be able to get up by himself. After all, the armor is not flexible, and it's even too big to get in the way.
Finally, I gave in. "...Thank you, Big Onion."
"You're welcome, nameless man." He took off his helmet and put it on the left side, then took out another piece of black bread from the small luggage on the right side.Sigmeier's appearance was not far from the one he imagined, with two thick eyebrows and a groomed beard hanging on his broad and thick face, and a kind smile under his broad nose; he was a Generous people are both generous and thick-skinned fools.
At first, I thought he was about to bite off the bread, but Sigmeier hesitated for a while, looking at the food in his hand, he was eager but lacking in interest.After a while, he murmured, "I should have brought more dried avocado, it's just a slice of bread now."
"Is it simply because there are no ingredients?" I asked.
"Hey, ingredients matter! Food has no life without ingredients!"
"Hehehe... life?"
"Hmm...well, forget it, today is different," he started to eat while talking, "ummm... how many times can it be like today?"
"What about today?"
"To be able to eat in front of the bonfire with my friends today is the most unusual thing since I came to Rhodeland!"
Sigmaiya chewed the bread carefully, and I tried to eat some after a while.The rough black bread was just as it appeared in my memory. I held it in my mouth, and the saliva soaked and softened it, but it was still as thick as sackcloth; Survival, but I can't stop myself from trying this action. It reminds me of every moment on the battlefield. The figures of my partners are vivid in my mind, and their laughter comes from afar. It sounds depressing, but it's passable .
"It's really nice bread," I said.
"Although the food is very good, we still have to save some food. After all, there is no cook here to help us bake bread!" After Sigmaiya finished speaking, he realized that he had eaten two-thirds of his portion.Then, after a lot of struggle, he decided to put it into his mouth in one go; this time Sigmeier ate more slowly, he repeatedly bit the food and tasted it all with satisfaction. "But since we've finished eating, there's nothing we can do about it, let's find a way to make some later. What a fun meal, my friend!"
"You're talking about..." How can I hide from such an innocent and honest person?Looks like it's time to tell him the truth, "Sigmeier—"
"Hey, that's right!" Sigmeier interrupted me, "You defeated those silver knights, right? You alone?"
"What? Uh, yes, it took a little effort, after all, those knights are not easy to mess with."
"You are really capable, you are beyond my imagination! Thanks to you, my adventure can continue...Although it is a bit late, I, Sigmeier, thank you here, come, this is me Please accept my kindness, please accept it," he threw a small ring to me, and then said: "But I'm a little worried about you, don't be too reckless, although it's good to be safe, but there must be a safer way... I must want to get it!"
The ring was not very eye-catching, but it could be felt that it had a little power. "When you think of a way, we'll all turn into living corpses, Big Onion."
"I admit that I'm a bit tepid, but that doesn't mean your impulsiveness is a good thing."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Afterwards, we talked for a while, or rather I just listened to him, and listened to him talk about his adventures along the way.Sigmeier told me that he was adventuring in Rodland, pursuing legends and romance—he said that his intuition told him that becoming an undead was the will of fate. He had slept in his hometown for too long in the past. Now, it is time to wake up , he thought he had to go on a grand adventure, to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth like a real knight.Then, Sigmeier talked about his more than 30 years in the army in Catalina. During that period, he never had the opportunity to practice the so-called "adventure". Now he is an undead, so he pursues the legend , Inquiring into the anecdotes of the ages is his task-everything is justified.so romantic.
I asked him, isn't he worried about his family?Because Sigmaiya told me that he is a man with a wife and children, so I couldn't help worrying whether it would be too irresponsible to just leave them alone?And Sigmeier proudly replied that his daughter is also a member of the Knights. Her achievements are not inferior to men, and she is independent and strong like her mother, while his shrewd wife is eager for him to leave the house as soon as possible, so as not to stand in front of him. It was in the way and eye-catching—so Sigmeier went out with confidence, without worrying at all.That home, he said, was stronger than armor made by craftsmen in Catalina, and he didn't need to worry about what would happen to them, and the two women couldn't possibly worry about his departure.
Finally, the time point of the story comes to the nearest.Sigmeier said that when he was trapped in front of the gate of the ancient city of Sain, he suddenly heard the bell, the bell of adventure, and when the bell rang, the gate of the ancient city opened; Encountered some difficulties, which can be called the greatest crisis in this life, but he still passed it safely, just like before.
"There is no danger!" said the big onion: "Madam of the lake, bless me, I have encountered countless difficulties in Rhodeland, but I have never encountered such torture as in the ancient city. There are traps and enemies everywhere. You also know that I can't move fast, so I always move carefully at my own pace, and kill those monsters who come to make trouble with one sword, two swords! But that big iron ball—that thing I really There was no way, they rolled down the death ramp one by one, and after a while, I found myself trapped on the platform below. Watching the iron balls rolling past my eyes one by one, the embarrassment in my heart was beyond words... Originally, I I wanted to roll along with it, but it didn't work, it would make me dizzy, so I thought about it for a long time, and then I really came up with a good idea, that is to climb up the slope !…Hey, I’m serious, although I’m not light, I’m not too weak to climb rocks, even if I have an extra weight of equipment, it doesn’t prevent me from taking risks!”
I know the trap, that thing is pretty nasty. "Okay, so you just go over like this? Hanging on the side of the slope?"
Sigmeier closed his eyes, as if recalling the situation at that time.Then, he said, "Tell you about an incredible thing... Actually when I was getting ready to climb, I noticed that the iron ball hadn't appeared in a while. Where did that thing go? Did someone give it to me?" Did it stop? Then I sneaked up a bit—you'd never believe what I saw, I saw a footprint go up the entrance I just came in, and there was some kind of black oily smear all over the walls and floor."
"Wow."
"It's weird, isn't it? Then I followed that trail, and I didn't expect that thing to guide me off the death ramp! What's even more incredible is that I saw another iron ball trap. The iron ball on the slope rolled into the inside, and the thing turned and turned in the city, but the footprints did not stop and went up all the way. It extended all the way to an edge post on the uphill, and I saw that post It was full of oil stains, and the traces were gone until then——At this moment, I felt that the lady of the lake wanted me to trust the steps of the forward brave man, so I took advantage of the gap between the iron balls and rushed straight towards the pillar! Then jump off!"
"Wow... wow."
"—Below is a platform, which is built on the iron ball ramp, and on the opposite side is a big crack, which can lead to the interior of the castle. At this time, I found a corpse of a basilisk on the platform, and the platform is also There are bloodstains... Someone really came here! My God, it's incredible! So with his help, I just escaped from the iron ball level... Let me tell you, this brave man gave me a lot of confidence Zeng, I am destined to continue to take risks and see more things. Alas, the ancient city of Sion, sure enough, that place is exactly what the blacksmith said, it is a place of trials, and that castle gave me an opportunity to test my spirit , I feel that my courage and enthusiasm are growing stronger than when I stayed in the human world... By the way, I even saved a prisoner there. I really can't imagine, how could there be a prisoner there? He is still a magician! ... Hehe, he said his name is Logan, and that person has also arrived at the sacrificial place now."
"Logan? The big hat Logan?" If I remember correctly, it was the master of magic that Guligus never forgot.
"Yes, 'Big Hat'." Suddenly, Sigmeier lowered his volume, "To be honest, he was a legend more than 200 years ago...so I don't know if that guy is really a 'Big Hat'. But Well, maybe it is, after all his disciples have said so, and this kind of thing is not unusual in Rodland. Have you seen Guligus? - Ah, yes, have you met a black man The little scholar just inquired about this matter with me, he seemed to be very worried about the safety of Mr. Hei... But... how does he look? It seems to have short black hair, blue eyes? And he looks very strong... ...Probably looks like you, maybe he is your brother, a long-lost blood relative! ——Hahaha, just kidding! Actually, I don’t understand the literary descriptions of Guligus, what kind of appearance Simple but fierce, noble-hearted, and so on, and very good at fighting, almost no different from a madman... um... sounds like a strange character. Maybe those footprints were left by that surname Hei, after all, he seems to be I also went to the ancient city of Sion. Hey, Wuming, what expression do you have?"
"It's okay, leave me alone." I said.
"Anyway, have you ever seen such a character?"
"No, not a single shadow."
"Oh? What a pity, the little scholar's expectations have failed... In a way, it's a pity for you. Although I haven't met him, I think he and you must get along very well. That kind of 'good at fighting' character. Let me say, you really have to change your character, if you continue like this, you will kill yourself sooner or later!"
"You should worry about yourself first, you have been trapped several times along the way..."
"Hahaha—there's always a way!"
"Yes, 'there is a way'."
"Okay——" Sigmeier put on the helmet, and even though he was wearing thick armor, he got up effortlessly, "A proper rest, a proper adventure, and then I should go! I have completed the God City. After the trip, I wanted to go down there. I heard that there is a big swamp called the sick village. It is rumored that there is the source of mysterious spells, and there are even secrets and treasures of ancient dragons hidden in that poisonous water—— ——The legend is like this, I heard it from the travelers at the foot of the mountain. Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, maybe I can find something new when I go there. After all, the lady of the lake is always Take care of me, let alone the waterside that is close to her?"
"The Village of Disease is not a good place to visit. Believe me, you will regret it terribly."
"That's just right. After all, adventures are meant for challenges. There's no point in taking the easy path!"
"Then I advise you to bring more herbs. You can go to the Black Forest to find these things, and I can give you some if necessary. Anyway, I have prepared a lot."
"Don't worry about me. Captain Sigmaiya in Catalina is not as bad as you imagined. I can prepare equipment and supplies by myself. What about you? After passing through the capital, you have plans Where are you going?"
"I..." I stood up and replied, "I'm going to be busy after finishing some things, but I don't know what I'm going to be busy with yet."
"You're the kind of person who has to accomplish something, I understand, so it must be a great adventure waiting for you next, right?"
"I've had enough of greatness. If it could end on a more modest note, I think I might be happier..."
At this time, Sigmeier's eyes fell into the distance, and he said: "I don't know if that black man will come back? Guligus said that the treasure originally belonged to him... Maybe he has become a living thing." Maybe it’s dead, who knows?”
It was only then that I noticed that what he was looking at was the big sword, the sword of the black knight inserted in front of the blue-clothed warrior's seat. "...I don't know, maybe it's good to become a living corpse."
"If it really becomes a living corpse, it will be difficult. Guys like that, berserkers, etc., must be a difficult enemy!...Okay, I'm going to set off, and I hope that neither of us will become living corpses! "As soon as he finished speaking, he calmly walked towards the elevator in the parish. Maybe Sigmeier wanted to go to Andre's for preparations before departure.
ah!I still didn't tell him that - honestly, does he know what I'm trying to say?
Really?No, he sure didn't know anything.hope so.
is there?At the end of the road lay the head of a snake, but it lay motionless on the ground, snoring loudly.Unexpectedly, I was going to talk to a snake, and it was only a sleeping snake.Will it eat me in one bite?Or will it just sleep like this until the end comes?
"Hey, Nameless, why didn't you say hello when you came back? By the way, why did you come back from behind?" Laurendis stopped me when I passed the path to the old temple.
"I thought you were meditating."
He was still standing next to the dead tree, and it seemed that there were some sprouts on the tree at this moment, but after looking carefully, I realized that it was a phantom.
"'It's good to be a living corpse', that's really interesting," Laurendis raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you are eager to abandon the past."
"It's time to let go of the past, Laurendis."
"But that's still you, Wuming, don't forget that you are created by the past..." He raised his head, and seemed a little surprised when he saw me, "Oh? So you can also wear clothes Huh? But now you are really different, you look like a city person, even though you are still a magician at heart. You can't hide that kind of temperament, nameless."
"Since someone gave it to me, I won't wear it in white." I shrugged.
"...Well... I think you are no longer hesitating," Laurendis smiled brightly, "This is a good thing, and you seem to be ready to accept more things! Why, you got the apocalypse in the House of God? "
"There's been so much—so much... that I don't know where to begin."
"If you think the time has come, tell me your story... So, urbanites, are you going to learn a little more now?"
Hmm...it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that. "Of course, sir."
So I asked him for some knowledge, about flames, about legends, all kinds of things, just like listening to stories.Those things are very fresh. This is the first time I have learned something again since I was in the Immortal Academy. I was taken care of by a half-baked magician. He said that you must be literate so that you won’t be deceived. At the beginning, the people of Fremimo were subject to the Baijiao because they were too stupid—at that time, when I knew I could learn, and When I can learn more, the throbbing in my heart is indescribable. It is a kind of power and power, an invisible gift that I have never understood... Just like now, I always feel that I can move forward again. After all, I am standing here alive. , learn from a friend about fire and life.
Maybe I should go to see Gurigus, even if it's not for learning, it's good to check his condition... But it's still later, he must have a lot of things to ask that Master Logan, I'm going now only will bother them.
"Some people say that the flame is equal to the soul, maybe this is true, because a strong fire comes from a strong soul, and the stronger the fire, the stronger the effect of the spell. It's just that the soul is strong and the cultivation of the flame is not considered. It's useless to have a strong soul..." Laurendis said, "Oh, sorry, you should have known it long ago, after all, you are also a magician."
"I don't think I know such a thing."
"Very humble, nameless, you shouldn't be so humble. Speaking of which, just now you talked about the sick village with that gentleman, but there is actually one thing I haven't told you clearly... When I went to the bottom, I actually wanted to Going to the sick village, as for the purpose, it has something to do with that legend."
"To find the origin? Like what Sigmeier said?"
"Yes, every conjurer dreams of finding the origin of the flame... According to legend, the first conjure fire was given by a woman from the village of sickness, and later, through distribution, nurturing, and distribution again , the fire of incantation spread throughout the world, but whether it is the extreme east or the west sea, the most heretic or the purest flame, all the fire of incantation originates from that great person—the witch of Izaris, the legendary The mother of magic, and the flames she possesses are the ancestors of our powers, and that mother goddess is also the holder of the purest and ancient art of fire... Therefore, when I became undead, I felt ecstatic! I've finally had the good fortune to be exposed to this ancient craft... Of course, the ending is not always so romantic."
"One setback doesn't mean anything, just try a few more times, anyway, we have plenty of time to try."
"Hahaha——Although you are a good conjurer, you are not very good at comforting people... In short, it is said that the mother of conjuration is still wandering in the sick village, but I have no ability to challenge there, so I choose Here I continue to cultivate my flame until I am strong enough to face the difficulties. I don't know how long it will take, but like you said, we have plenty of time to try."
"But I don't see 'living people' there."
"I believe there will be some footprints left there, the source of everything... As for how to meet it, it depends on the opportunity."
"Interesting, I'll tell you about the Mother of Spells if I run into it someday," I said, "if I ever want to go to that damn place again."
"Don't say it too early, you have a deep relationship with Huo Huo, maybe you will come into contact with those ancient secrets earlier than me..." Then, Laurendis waved his hand, trying to urge me to leave, "Okay, you want to find that snake, undead hero? If so, hurry up and wake it up, that thing has been snoring there for too long!"
"As you please, teacher."
"I'm not good at being a teacher, Wuming, just let us be brothers."
"Would you like me to be your brother?"
"You already are. We share the same source of fire, don't we? The fate of fire, nameless, is stronger and more meaningful than any blood relationship. Why, is it too nasty to say that?"
"No, I'm just... happy," Laurendis, you don't know how happy I am, "Thank you, brother, for giving me something to rely on... Thank you."
Laurendis raised his lips.He said, "Remember, you are not alone, the flame is with you, nameless."
The sacrificial ground is like a home, if it is for this small place, I think I can come back a few more times - if I can make it the real home of the undead, how good would it be?Although I know that this is just a relay station, and all the same kind will only come and go here, but I imagine that the fire-spreading sacrificial field is a more lively and comfortable place, more like a settlement, which really meets the "fire-spreading" A place with the word...Since everyone says that Rodland is the only place where the undead can come, why not make this place more like a place where people can live?Maybe, maybe like a country!After all, this was already a country, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to revive it again.
But what if someone becomes a living corpse?What if no one in this place wants to help each other?Yet this naive idea lingers in my mind, just as my predecessors and companions intended to achieve great things, those lingering at the bottom, enslaved races trying to break free from control and create a truly free land, and I, I imagine Whether he can make the exiled or chased undead stand under the sky again.
Is the snake in front of me the key to this vision?Or, am I qualified to imagine those huge wishes that are almost impossible?
"Hey you," I called from two steps away, "wake up!"
However, it still slept soundly and snored deafeningly.This went on until I punched the snake. "... huh? No, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, wide awake! Don't think of me as an old snake." It woke up, the huge snake head swaying in the air .
Should he really be called a snake?That thing has a human nose and two rows of human teeth exposed. It looks evil and weird... But since the other party claims to be a snake, why should I doubt it? "Yo, you, you are the... snake that Gwen Aviar said, right?"
"Gwen Avia?... Oh, my God, you did it! You got back the royal weapon! After a thousand years! It's you, it's really you! Drink croak——drink croak——!"
There's something wrong with that guy.
"...Forgive me, I should really calm down. Now, let's take the container and hit the road."
"Wait, what's on the road?"
"I'm assuming you're ready, now, don't move."
"You're fucking talking—" In an instant, I was eaten by its sour mouth.
What does this old thing usually eat?I lay on its tongue, trying not to let myself fall in, but the stench from the depths kept coming, it was like a mixture of carrion and acid, and there was even a strange sweetness in it... ...stinks so bad that I can almost see the smell in pictures!
picture?No, there were no images, and the stench brought only darkness, deep and dense darkness...
(Uh-ah--)
(—Crack!)
……Out?I don't know when, I have fallen to the ground.I am on a huge dilapidated ancient stone bridge. There is bottomless darkness on both sides of the bridge, and the surrounding is surrounded by ancient giant walls. Unknown lights and flames are dotted in it. Can illuminate the road.This place is confusing, I don't feel like I'm below, I don't feel like I'm above, although the huge tree roots extend down from the square hall, but I can't be sure that I can get through the tree roots above. To Rhodeland.
At this time, the snake was hanging upside down on my head, it ground its teeth, and two long sarcoid tumors were hanging in the air.Big snake said. "This is the House of Fire that belongs to the successor of King Gwen. Now, put the king's artifact on the altar."
In the direction where the snake was looking, there was a large and thick stone gate, which was located on the top of the stone steps, and was illuminated by two stone torches.There is also a tree root directly in front of the door, it looks like old tree residue left by loggers, but look
