86. Pact with the sword
It was the time when the spring was hazy, and the cold in the mountains was still relatively heavy, but now it was almost noon, and it was not difficult to endure at will, but it was the most pleasant weather.
The trees on the back mountain are luxuriant, the grass grows and the warbler flies, walking in the middle, there is no heavy dew intrusion, there is no muddy land, all you see in your eyes is a pleasant and leisurely green scenery, and your ears are bursts of pleasant birdsong, it is an absolutely comfortable place, and it is the best place to play and enjoy.
However, there was no sense of pleasure at all in the present, and she ran as hard as she could, trying to reach the mountain as fast as she could, and if she slowed down, she would probably be caught.
She finally came out......
Suddenly I thought of Alan, of the man's short flaxen hair, of the man's injured arms and feet, and of the way the man was still protecting him in the end, Erilly......
Her face was wet, and she didn't wipe it with her hands, she didn't touch it......
Some things have been determined at the beginning, many things should not be touched casually from the beginning, some things can not touch people's deepest feelings no matter how touching they are, and some people, no matter how good they are, are not what you should touch.
These truths were clear to Areli a long time ago, so she couldn't go back, at least not yet.
She needed to find the sword.
Not just for yourself, but for ...... Village.
It's been ten years, so long, and there are some subtle things that have changed, how can you not notice it.
Compared to the ostrich mentality of the villagers, especially Uncle Burton, Erilly can recognize that this is not a way at all, how can it be possible to exchange for long-term peace and comfort by blindly withdrawing and being cowardly.
And about her own background, as well as the origin of the divine sword......
Everything seems to be predestined, and you can't hide it, so why do you want to hide desperately?
In Areli's heart, it is always better to resist than to compromise.
What's more, it's also the only way out.
"Smack. ”
"Ahh
I was in too much of a hurry, and the road that was not steep or slippery actually made Arili fall.
There was too much rubble on the mountain, and even though Areli had taken great care to protect herself, there were still many wounds cut out of her body, and the pain was not difficult to bear, but it was not comfortable.
Erile gritted her teeth, slapped the fine stones off her body, and then bandaged the wound briefly with some rags.
She's only halfway up now, and she's got to be a little faster, a little faster.
There were so many thoughts, but it seemed that she didn't think about anything, no matter what Arili thought or thought, Irelli's footsteps never stopped.
Erilet felt that her breathing was becoming more and more difficult, her face was hot, and her hands and feet were cold.
When she finally reached the top of the mountain, Arielly felt that she couldn't control her body.
Collapsed on the ground, unable to move even if Arili remembered it.
But even so, Erile was very stubborn to look somewhere.
That place is where Excalibur is......
Areli's eyes widened, and there was panic in her expression, what's the matter, where did Excalibur go?
Not only is the Excalibur gone, but even the large stone where the Excalibur was inserted has also disappeared.
What's going on?
Erile's thoughts were unprecedentedly chaotic, there seemed to be a flood of beasts in her head, there seemed to be turbulent waves, she didn't stop for a moment, she didn't have a sense of security, she didn't have a calm and self-contained attitude.
Erilet was walking on the edge of the abyss, and if she deviated for a moment, she would fall into the abyss, with no chance of coming out.
With just one switch away, Erilella could lose all its metrics.
And this is absolutely unusual.
"Stupid, wake up quickly, don't you want to die?"
Suddenly, a piercing voice came into her ears, pulling Arili out of her illusion.
What's going on?
Erile looked around in confusion, and suddenly she was pulled back to her thoughts, and it felt like she had a broken head, which was really not a good feeling.
Rubbing her head, she barely stood up, and the Excalibur she saw before was indeed real, so that voice ......
Looking around left and right, there was no one around.
What's a little strange is that Ireli was tired like a dog before, but now she feels refreshed, not at all like she has climbed the mountain before.
Erilly was also sober now, and it quickly occurred to him that since Uncle Burton wanted to prevent himself from finding Excalibur, he would naturally change the position of Excalibur.
Erilet didn't think that her previous vertigo was due to Burton, it was most likely due to something else.
Erylee still had to find her way quickly, and she could only try her best to find Excalibur.
Arilee thumped her head to make her thoughts clearer.
Think about it, Arelly, the reason why Uncle Burton removed all the stones was because no one could move Excalibur, so although it was very troublesome to move the stones together, there was no way to do it.
Although it is possible for Uncle Burton to have the stone small, it is usually done in the same place, and there is no need to do it after moving away.
If it was to prevent her, Erilly would have nothing to say......
However, this is a bit unlikely, so Erili continues to go out to find some places that may be wide, but they are also unlikely to be placed on the bright side, so some caves have become the focus of investigation.
When she was young, she was able to go to the mountains from time to time, and she was very familiar with the mountain trail, and over the years, the mountains have not changed much, and it is easier to find.
In the darkest part of a cave, Erilly found the huge stone and saw the black sword.
After ten years, Areli finally saw it again.
Excalibur doesn't seem to have changed much over the years, and it won't be as noisy as mortals, nor will it be as helpless as mortals after decades of keeping it on the stone.
It's like a spectator, watching the crowd rush without letting yourself get involved in the slightest.
It makes people envious, and it makes people jealous......
Erilly walked in, and only when she walked into Arielly did she see that there seemed to be some smoke around the Excalibur, black smoke, not thick at all, it would disappear in a blink of an eye, and after a closer look, it became better again.
Always surrounded by this and never really left.
Everything seems to be hanging in the balance, and everything seems to have been laid a long time ago.
Erilly could barely restrain herself from walking towards it, wanting to touch the sword that had been in his heart for so long.
But just as she was about to touch Excalibur, an electric current flicked her hand away, and a voice suddenly sounded in her head.
"Don't touch it. ”
The voice sounded a little soft, as if it came from the mouth of some child, and although the tone was tough, it only made the listener feel a little funny.
However, Erilly has no interest in teasing children, and in such an uninhabited cave, the sudden sound of a child is scary enough.
Erile didn't dare to relax in the slightest, knowing how hard it had taken her to get here, and she couldn't afford to fall short.
Eryl quickly retreated to a safe distance, looking cautiously and defensively at Excalibur, or rather the smoke.
But the voice didn't respond for a long time, and if she hadn't heard it twice before, she probably thought she was hallucinating.
Erilly didn't dare to try rashly, so she had to wait for the voice to appear.
Fortunately, this voice didn't make Irelli wait too long, and after a while, it reappeared, "Don't touch my ...... casually"
The voice suddenly froze, and Erilly frowned, completely unsure of what she was trying to say.
"Ahem, let's start talking about something now. "Pretending to be serious, but with a soft tone, it will only make people feel weird and funny.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" asked Irelli cautiously, although she was still so cautious, but Irily also found that this voice was a little lacking in confidence, which meant that this person could not necessarily threaten her.
"I won't hurt you," because the heroine is the pillar of the world, and its purpose is not to make the world collapse, "I know that you want the Excalibur, and I can help you." ”
Eryl is not a child anymore, to be precise, a voice suddenly came out and said that it would give you a great benefit, and anyone would be suspicious.
Suddenly, there was some writhing in the space, and a whirlpool appeared in front of Erilly's eyes, black and dangerous.
However, it seems that this black hole is only used to transmit things, and when the golden box falls out, this black hole disappears.
Erilly raised an eyebrow at the golden box, not intending to touch it easily.
"You can take it, it's not dangerous. The voice became a little faint, and it seemed that it took a lot of force to transmit this thing.
Irelli felt that this voice had something to ask for herself, and it shouldn't hurt her, and she had also pulled herself out of the illusion before, which was considered to save her life.
At least it shouldn't hurt her for now.
Erilly picked it up carefully, but was also on guard.
The voice didn't seem to want to gain Erile's trust, "This thing belongs to you, and the things in it can be opened...... The seal of this sword. ”
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
"......" seemed to sigh, and then said quietly, "I only hope that when he ...... When this Excalibur wants to leave, let him go......"
This answer was unexpected, she had expected it to be extremely difficult, but she did not expect it to be so.
A person who can care about it like this is also a gentle one compared to being cared for, although it is a little strange to describe a sword as gentle, but Arili feels that even if Excalibur chooses to leave, he will definitely complete what should be done, and Arili believes so.
Shaking the box in his hand hard, looking at the divine sword surrounded by black mist in front of him, something in his heart gradually became firm and trumped everything.
She had already made up her mind.
