The Dragon That Devours the World

　　 Time flies, the years are like water, I don’t know how many years have passed...

　　 The east of the human world is known as the world of jungles and swamps, somewhere in the Kingdom of Rist.

A group of men and women dressed in black are surrounding a small boat on a dark seashore and on a sandy beach. People's faces are mostly silent and sad. The whole crowd is enveloped in a strong atmosphere of sadness. One of them The young woman in the gorgeous silk clothes was still choking and weeping, crying sadly and sadly.

　　 "Okay, don't cry anymore, crying, what does it look like."

　　 It seemed to be dissatisfied with the cry of the woman beside him, a tall middle-aged man yelled at her.

　　 The two thick eyebrows on his forehead are like two machetes, without anger and prestige, his body is extremely powerful, obviously he is not an ordinary person.

　　 "But... our daughter passed away at such a young age, how can I bear it?"

　　 The young woman raised her head and looked at the boat in front of her with oil lamps.

On the boat with dozens of oil lamps, under the light of the swaying oil lamps, a young girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, dressed in cumbersome and gorgeous clothes, was lying on the boat quietly and peacefully. Above.

　　 Her face is extremely pale, her hands and feet are slender like a doll. It is conceivable that she must have been a cute child who smiled extremely purely before she was alive, and she should be extremely beautiful when she grows up.

　　 However, this child, who is as beautiful as a flower, and as pure as a flower, is also like a flower, and has withered before it blooms...

　　 Looking at her, the sadness on the face of the young woman grew worse.

　　 Hearing the words, the man frowned and was about to say something, but the thoughtful rebuke stayed in the Adam's apple for a long time, but he did not spit it out. In the end, he sighed weakly and fell into a bitter silence.

　　 No matter how powerful he is, he is still powerless in the face of sudden death. He can only kneel in front of death, weak as an ant...

　　 Sunset, the beach, the people in black, the boats shrouded in dim lights, everything reveals a deeply sad breath of death.

　　 "It's almost time, let's get started."

　　 At this time, a priestess with her face covered in a veil and her body in a black dress came out of the crowd, and said calmly to the middle-aged man.

Her face is not very clear, and she can only vaguely see its beautiful face, and only the pair of erected snake pupils on the veil are particularly special, and her body is covered with a pure black high priest's robe. , Symbolizing her identity as the priest of death who led the way for the dead.

　　 The man nodded, and even though the woman next to him was very sad on her face, she still obediently stepped aside.

　　 Headed by the high priestess, several young priestesses slowly followed behind them, holding the statue of a snake in their hands, lowering their heads, and murmured in prayer.

The high priestess headed by 　　 stood in front of the boat, watching the immature girl lying in the boat in front of her, her face accustomed to death was extremely calm, just murmured.

　　 "May the squid playing the flute guide your way forward..."

In the ancient legend of the snake people living in the eastern swamp, the squid is the messenger of the father of the snake, Yemengard. It will play the flute for the dead, guide the dead to the world of snakes, and meet the great father of the snake and the world who entangles the world. Snake-Yemengarde.

After that, people untied the ropes that bound the boat and let the lighted boat slowly sail to the deepest part of the sea with the ebb and wind, where the sleeping snake will be accepted into the city of snakes. ——Nano.

　　 At the same time, the priests slowly sang the ancient ballad...

　　 That song of mourning for the dead.

　　 "KAGIROHIHA, YOMINIMATAMUTO (Dawn, waiting in Huangquan!

　　 "SAKUHANAHAKAMINIKOHINOMU (The blooming flower is a prayer to God.

　　 "IKERUYONI, AGAMIKANASHIMO (In this life and this life, despite how sad the body is.

　　 "IMEHAKENU (dream has disappeared

　　 "URAMITECHIRU (Hate disappeared

　　 "URAMITECHIRU (Hate disappeared

　　 "MOMOYOKANASHIKI, TOKOYAMINI (The sadness of countless nights is hidden in the eternal darkness.

　　 "KAHIKONOKOMUYOWO, SUMEKAMININOMU (Pray to the noble God for the next life of the egg.

　　 Sings full of sadness, comforting the dead and comforting the living.

　　 "Wow..."

　　The sea water slapped the coast from time to time, while the young woman on the beach kept crying. Finally, she knelt down on the beach in tears, crying bitterly at the boat that was gradually going away...

　　……

　　 Above the tranquil sea, an ownerless boat was driven by the wind, wandering directionlessly.

　　The moon blooms like water, quietly sprinkling on the boat with swaying lights.

Under the shining of the moonlight, the girl in the gorgeous robe lies calmly on top of the boats filled with various precious little gifts and souvenirs. There is an inexplicable beauty on her pale and bloodless face, as if she was just It's like falling into a deep sleep.

　　 The sea is as calm as a lake, and the waves are calm, except for the faint strange sound from afar.

　　 The small boat full of lights just floated quietly.

How long has 　　 drifted? No one knows...

　　 On the ship, the swaying lights gradually began to dim, and each of the lights went out because there was no oil, and when the last oil lamp struggled for a long time, it finally went out weakly.

　　 With the last light extinguished, the entire boat fell into a deadly darkness.

　　 The only thing related to the world finally went out.

　　Without warning, the boat slipped into the ocean so peacefully...

　　 "Guru..."

　　 There was no sound, everything was so quiet, only a small bubble was left in place.

In the sea, the girl with her eyes closed, her slender body fell feebly toward the deeper part of the sea, and the treasures and gifts full of people's memories and sorrows were scattered one by one in the deep and dark vastness. In the middle of the sea.

　　 The body is falling.

　　 is like death, there is never a day to look back.

　　 In ignorance and ignorance, the girl kept falling toward the deeper part of the sea.

　　 In the darkness, countless pairs of unkind eyes looked at her, but the owner of those eyes did not dare to move.

　　 The carefully tied long hair spread out naturally, and the gorgeous robe soaked in her body was scattered in a mess, inadvertently revealing a small snake scale on her shoulder.

　　I don’t know how long later, she had fallen into a long sleep, but she seemed to hear a deep sorrow~www.readwn.com~even if there is no moonlight day and night

　　 The sad and sweet female voice came from the deepest part of the bottom of the sea.

　　 The long eyelashes were trembling gently, and the eyes that were originally closed slowly opened, revealing a pair of beautiful snake eyes like amber.

　　 In the clear and pure pupils, there is still a bit of confusion and confusion when he wakes up.

　　 moved her hands and feet stiffly, feeling the dead body without breathing anymore, the girl opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.

　　 And just now...

　　 "Woo..."

　　 Suddenly, from the girl's side, there was a low whistling sound.

　　 The girl couldn't help hearing the reputation, but she only saw a huge squid full of tentacles hovering beside her.

This huge and peaceful squid, with two long tentacles like human fingers, is extremely humane on a long flute, as if to accompany the sad singing, quietly playing. , Making a melodious sound.

　　 Its tentacles wandered freely in the sea, wandering around the girl unconsciously, as if immersed in this wonderful sadness.

　　 As if feeling the girl's gaze, the huge squid slowly opened his eyes...

　　 A pair of cold and indifferent pupils.

　　 looked at her.

　　 Immediately, these eyes closed again, and without paying attention to the girl in front of him, the squid dived into the deeper part of the sea leisurely and contentedly.

　　I don't know why, an impulse emerged in the girl's heart, spreading her arms, waving the sea water beside her, and chasing in the direction of the squid.
