She licked her somewhat dry upper lip, raised her sword and asked in a cold voice again:

"Hmph, I'm not the kind of guy who can trust him just by saying a word. All the evil demigods in this world have been slain by the Sword Saint, how can a mother earth suddenly pop out? I know that you are hiding under this shell, come out quickly! ”

Mother Earth was silent for a long time, and countless chaotic eyeballs were bright and dark. It was only then that Grisenda could discern a hint of strangeness in the hoarse, low voice—its voice was not so much the sound of a worm as the jumble of countless low-voiced men and women mixed together. Listen carefully, it seems that there are many people living in the cave, saying exactly the same indifferent words with an indifferent attitude, which is creepy.

"Poor child, where do you get this forbidden knowledge?"

"It's not a taboo. Everyone knows that during the Ilmar Founding War hundreds of years ago, the sword saint Gmerkros single-handedly slain all the potential threats - that is, all the demigods on the island of Varana - and restored the island to peace and stability. It's not like I'm making it up, it's clearly written in the Moon Sutra. ”

Mother Earth was silent again for a moment, squirming slightly.

"Yes, yes, you're right, but it's not entirely true, he missed one, he thought I was dead, but in fact I came here......"

If it hadn't been for the slightest coercion, Grisenda might have laughed out loud. She was bored by the unobtrusive bass, and she wanted to figure it all out as soon as possible, but she didn't know how to do it.

"You really think of yourself as something. Let's not talk about the strength of the Juggernaut for the time being, even if you are really a demigod, then why would you be indifferent to my intrusion? I think you must be very disgusted to let other people disturb your daydreams. ”

"I've been feeling you, watching you, poor boy, since you first fell into this hole, but I know your real purpose is not me. Until you come here to see me, I don't need to interfere too much with your incursion. ”

"You know I fell here?" said Glicenta, frowning. "Are you stalking me?"

Mother Earth let out a few sneers that were like crying.

"Poor child, I haven't moved a single step in hundreds of years. ”

"Nonsense again, hundreds of years ......," Glicenta gave it a suspicious look. "You don't look like a worm that will come here with me quietly...... But, how the hell do you know?"

"Every one of my daughters is my eyes. ”

"Oh, do you mean the Mormacks? Your daughter?"

"If you earthlings call it Momicha, exactly. ”

"Then you must know what I did, don't you? Let me guess, I've killed you so much...... Daughter, you're going to want to kill me, aren't you?"

"Yes......"

A cold sweat broke out on Glicenta's back.

"But not because you killed my daughter. I have many, many daughters, so many that you can't kill them all in your life. Even if they all returned to the earth, I could create more. ”

"Don't beat around the bush, I remember you saying something stupid like 'come to me ...... when you find the black shards.'" If you really want to keep me here, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come back to you. ”

"Wrong, wrong, poor child, when you return to the earth, it will create you again. ”

"Then you're just killing for the sake of killing, that's good, I like your ......"

Countless drowsy eyes snapped open, all staring straight at Grisenda. She unconsciously took a step back, and a huge sense of crisis and anxiety flowed through her body. An ominous conjecture came over her, and the strangeness and unspeakable fear made her nervous.

"Weird...... "Ordinary people would have been so frightened to their knees when they saw my true form...... It seems that you are not a passerby who has fallen into this place. It doesn't matter, you still won't get out of here alive, you're going to go out and tell him...... Would you do it...... Well, although this will not necessarily happen, I will erase all possibilities. ”

"Tell him?" Glicenta suddenly felt the dirt around her loosen a little, and a faint cold wind blew. "Who is 'he' by you?"

Mother Earth gently swung one of her long terrible limbs, and then spoke slowly:

"Gmocross, that madman, that hater, he won't spare any demigod...... I should have done this a long time ago, just to find another black fragment...... You're like a good fit, but you're not strong enough......"

"It's the Juggernaut, hmph, I know you must be afraid of him, because he used to kill you pests with an invincible posture hundreds of years ago. But if you're afraid of him, you're afraid of me. She secretly activated the magic runes on her body, but she thought that these ancient Andarian spells would not be detected - in fact, they should have been, except for the mage Dhansur who carved the runes for her, no one else, including herself, could not detect them - but when Mother Earth saw this, she was slightly stunned:

"You, like those earthlings who crave power but are unwilling to make effort, have adopted this method of quick success. It's just that you're more completely transformed, but so what? Poor boy, do you know that your end is near? I don't know how many years a person like you will live, but I know that death is not far from you. ”

Grisenda pursed her lips.

"Alarmist...... What nonsense! We can't fight yet?"

It sighed.

"Poor lost man, I would have given you a little more time so that you could learn more about the facts of your life at the end of your mind in the river of time. But obviously, you don't want to have that opportunity. But your presence has brought me some pleasure, and it is rare for people from the earth to come here in quick succession. ”

"You disgusting old worm, you always like to pretend to see through the heavens and make people sick. Grisenda snorted disdainfully, and with a slight turn of the hilt, an electric flash flashed. "But what do you mean by that? What do you mean by that I don't have much life left? And what do you mean by 'people from the earth coming here one after another'? Did humans still come here not so long ago?"

"Don't you know? Poor little girl who can generate electricity? All earthlings who are imprinted with magic runes will lose their lives at a young age because of the reaction effect of the runes. None of the people I have seen have lived past the age of 30. ”

"You talk nonsense, I know a mysterious knight who has lived to be 70 years old. Grisenda remembered the "Frost Sword" who was the eighth ranked ace warrior of the Warrior Guild, the Turanian, and like her, a mysterious knight with runes inscribed. However, this strong man has long passed the age of the sixtieth year, and he is the second person in the warrior guild who is 350 years old after the Sword Master.

"It turns out that you call the earthlings who are imprinted with magic runes 'mysterious knights'. This kind of person is not mysterious at all, only pathetic. ”

"Say whatever you want, then answer my other question. ”

“...... Not long before you stepped in here - maybe only a few dozen minutes later, a poor lost fellow arrived here. He's a lot more steady than you, and he's a lot more experienced than you. He told me a lot of things on the ground, including a lot about the cold, the cruel, the insane, the hateful and angry drunkard Germecross. It was because that man had helped me so much that I gave him the noblest way of death—that what was born from the earth will return to the earth. ”

Time paused for a moment.

Grisenda's throat was dry and painful as if she had been choked, and she couldn't say a word. A strong hint that was so clear that she didn't dare to look directly was poured into her mind, and the thoughts that struggled in it could only resist in this sudden and intense sense of unease, but those terrible speculations still seeped out of the cracks in the nerves of her brain.

Her sword was first lowered and then held tightly, the current flowing through her body came and went, and the countless words in her mind became less and less, and finally she could only jump out of one sentence:

"Who?"

"In my world, everything is chaos except the earth, which is clearly visible. But I can tell you. His only purpose here was to find a friend who had fallen here. I think you may know him, but I didn't remind him before, so that you don't have to suffer a little more heartbreak. ”

"Nisso......" her voice visibly distorted with shock and horror. "What did you do to him?"

"You ought to be blessed that he loves you so much that he would go into this treacherous crypt to find a person who is in fact insignificant to him. He has been returned by me in the most honorable way - he melts into the earth, perhaps right under your feet. ”

Grisenda took a few steps back as if suddenly frightened. She looked horrified at the wet, sticky dirt beneath her feet, which smelled of mold and rotten wood, and was both unpleasant and indescribably strange.

"You're lying!"

"I just smelled the lies. Your subconscious tells you it's true, but your mouth won't admit it. ”

Mother Earth's voice, without pity or mockery, penetrated into her ears and made her tremble like a needle, and she could not help but cry out with fear and anger:

"No! you ...... Where's your evidence!?"

"I don't need proof, and it doesn't matter to you either—why are the earthlings always trying to find holes in the facts that cause them pain, as if they were found in the so-called omissions, and the painful facts cease to exist—I told you that I want you to be less troubled before you return, but I can't understand how you earthlings are so tireless in their search for pain, and always unwilling to admit when they find it. But if you really want any proof of frivolity, I can show you this thing—but I know as well as you, poor boy, that you will regret it......"

The land in front of her was slowly lifted up by an unknown force, forming a small bulge, and the center of the bulge gradually cracked, and a small crack was made, revealing a red rock in the crack.

The corners of Grisenda's stiff eyes moved, and a tear flowed from her eyes. She looked at Mother Earth, and then her gaze stayed on the stone. She was familiar with the space storage stone, and it was also very eye-catching when lying in the black dirt. It used to be worn on Nisso's belt, shining red in the daylight. Grisenda knew it was futile, but out of the last remaining shred of luck in her heart, she reached out and touched the warm stone.

A faint electric current flowed from the stone into her fingertips, flashed through her brain, and made her understand everything at once. All the words that should be said and not said turned into an insignificant electric light, condensed into a simple, light, wordless announcement—the last call of Nisol's soul.

There are a few bowstrings, some arrows of various shapes, and a little money and medicine in the space storage stone.

"You know very well that I have no need to deceive you, poor lost man, for it will provoke your anger, even if your anger has nothing to do with me. But I don't want to reveal these things to you out of simplicity and kindness to you, and I hope you understand. ”

Glicenta knelt down in front of the small mound and gently put the stone back in its place. She lowered her head, her eyes covered by the drifting sea, and she couldn't see any expression, but it was clear that she had stopped crying. The sword was stuck in the ground, and Glicenta's body stopped trembling like a thunderous sword. Her long brown-orange hair spilled over her shoulders, making her look like a gloomy woman rather than a lively girl.

Mother Earth no longer spoke, she did not speak, and every person and worm were silent, as if waiting for something. Is Grisenda contemplating, or reminiscing? Mother Earth's countless eyes were not closed, they were silent. It's surprisingly harmonious here.

But an ominous storm swirls over the hills. Dark, scaly clouds suddenly appeared, clutching in the dark dome, like mountains oppressing the darkness-shrouded earth. In the colony a few kilometers away, Cherel uncharacteristically walked out of his office, frowning at the hills in the distance.

But the colonists didn't know when the storm would come or end, and even Mother Earth didn't know how long it would take for the poor lost man in front of her to act.

"I've been looking for many years," her voice was as calm as water, with neither anger nor pathos. "I was looking for something to compensate for the time I was robbed of. It was only later that I realized that there is nothing in this world that can compare to what is lost. So if someone takes something from me that I have kept, it will never come back. ”

"First of all, my childhood, Mother Earth—not a childhood, but a time of confinement by day, and a sinful time of horror in the night—was taken away. It was supposed to be happy, carefree, and the same as most people, but it wasn't. My family's ancient honor is gone, and the Malan family ......"

A flash of light suddenly flashed in the countless eyes of Mother Earth.

“...... The blood of the Malan family has been defiled, and those men have slandered my sister by the hands of robbers and criminals, who was my only hope. So my light was gone. All my loved ones have died, and she is the only one left by me in the Storm Fortress, and I have only come here with hatred and little hope of reviving my family. What did I gain from coming here? A flash of happiness?"

Her body shuddered, and the hair on her forehead shook. Her right hand grasped the hilt of the sword that was stuck on the ground, and her lips trembled as she uttered words that became increasingly erratic.

"Now I've lost everything. Wherever my gaze goes, it touches on other people's things. Even when I laugh and point, I still have the mood of a thief. Is there anything in this world that still belongs to Glicenta Maran?—— there was a little before, but now it is gone—is it those useless family revival tasks? Everyone knows that mortals can never match the gods. The so-called responsibility is nothing more than a mountain that weighs on my heart and cannot be shaken for the rest of my life. Younger sister...... Forgive me for being so weak and making you suffer so much, only dreams and the afterlife can say goodbye! I still have my broken life, that's all. ”

Five fingers firmly locked the Thundering Sword, and the moment the blade was unearthed, a hidden dark blue ripple rippled on the back of her right hand. A strange ancient blue rune appeared there—a stick figure of an ancient god.

Cracks, brilliant blue cracks appeared, and they climbed all the way from her chest to her limbs, jaw, and the corners of her eyes. Grisenda's turquoise blue eyes glowed with a blinding glow that made it almost impossible to look at directly.

"Want to build your strength by consuming your life?" muttered Mother Earth, "you're sending you to death......

"I don't care......" Before the terrifying, life-symbolizing blue crack completely destroyed her throat, Grisenda said in an already hoarse voice, "I am willing to give everything generously, because I have nothing......"
