Chapter 9: The Traveler's Tale

"I did just come to this country on the day I met you, and I could say that I had just come to this world. Zhao Mian explained to Yoshida Kazumi in a very serious tone, "However, the matter about me may be more complicated than the matter of the Fire Mist Warrior, are you willing to listen to me?"

Kazumi Yoshida barely hesitated, just nodded quietly.

"So," Zhao Mian slowly walked with Yoshida Kazumi on the way back to Yoshida's house, and slowly narrated in a voice with some kind of affection, "This is a story about a teenager who has lost his home. ”

The time when this story takes place is unknown, the endless nothingness disrupts the passage of everything, and time cannot be surprised. To be sure there is only a story that does not happen in the present and the future, but just in the past.

The beginning of the story is not a very good beginning. In the midst of the endless nothingness, in a world, a teenager on the blue earth suddenly disappeared from the earth for some unknown reason. The teenager was there with his family, his friends, his memories, everything about him.

It took a long time for a boy who suddenly appeared in another world to gradually adapt to the new world. With the help of some people he didn't know, he started his life in another world, and although he missed his previous life very much, although he missed his parents and friends at home, he still accepted this world.

But ah, the war broke out suddenly. Threats from beyond Azeroth have always threatened the planet, and demonic minions have always lurked beneath an undercurrent that no one knows about. One day, a two-headed lava dog suddenly broke into the village where the boy lived, how could a small human village withstand the attack of such a high-level monster, and many people fell on the outskirts of the village. However, the gestures of those who fought for the sake of their families shook the little teenager greatly.

Once again, the teenager had no place to live, so he could only start wandering. But a two-headed lava dog is just an insignificant monster in the advance force of the demon army, and the young man who does not have much ability walks on this dangerous continent is just to die, the question is only chronological.

But maybe it's the mercy of God. When the boy encounters a demon again, a team of paladins happens to pass by. The teenager was taken back to the camp.

The boy knew very well that a person without strength was powerless after all, and he wanted to gain power, but he didn't know how to do it. The boy isn't a smart person, but if it's just strength, there's always a way, isn't it?

The boy began to secretly try to move something very heavy, hoping to gain strength in this way. But it was soon discovered. Uther was a respectable old man who forgave a young man's mistakes and gave him the choice of whether to study the Light or to go to Dalaran with a letter from him to explore the arcane path.

The boy chose the Light, and he didn't know what the difference was between the two things. The boy only knew that the paladins who had brought him back to this camp in the first place were the users of the Holy Light.

The war continued on his footsteps, and countless lives were thrown into this meat grinder, turning into stars in the sky. The boy also grew up in such a world, and he became a hero who could take charge of himself. Whenever he appeared on the battlefield, the high morale always favored the soldiers under his command, and the holy light appeared in the battlefield from time to time, saving the life of every noble soldier who fought to defend his homeland. Until a message came. Uther died, and the Order of the Silver Hand was disbanded.

No life is immortal, and anyone will die of old age. But dying of betrayal is not among them. It is an honor to die on the battlefield, but it is only a shame to die in a conspiracy.

The boy led the warriors who were willing to follow him in pursuit of the despicable coward.

Unfortunately, the teenager arrived almost too late. The despicable cowards are long gone, and all that remains is devastation and plague.

The war soon ended, a new world was established, and the boy settled in the remaining capital of humanity: Stormwind.

The boy was not very popular with the nobles in Stormwind, and he didn't want to compete with the dignitaries for power.

He began to travel around the world.

Although the war is over, the huge scars caused by the war are not so easy to repair. The boy is a paladin and is helped by him everywhere he passes. Gradually, the boy became famous in the whole world, and legends about him spread among the crowd, and children of various nationalities wanted to be like him. He became a hero.

During his travels, the boy also met all kinds of people, some of whom became friends, some of whom became partners, and some of whom became enemies.

The boy and his companions have achieved one achievement after another. Brilliant deeds are recited throughout the world.

However, there is an end to everything. Years later, the despicable cowards of the year were duly punished, and the disbanded Order of the Silver Hand was given a new lease of life. Even the crazy Black Earth Guardian who gave the world great pain was defeated with the help of the boy and his companions. The boy was a little tired, some of his companions had already left, some had just met recently, and some had accompanied him through a lot of ups and downs. Many people have lost the ambition and pride of the past, and now it's time to return to their hometowns.

The boy also felt a little tired, and instead of returning to Stormwind, he went to Theramore to meet an old friend and one of her elders whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He wanted to find an answer here.

He wanted to go home.

But I don't know where my home is. His family should still be waiting for his return. But he couldn't go back.

Maybe someone knows. That answer told him.

Go to the ancient ruins, look for the power of the ancient gods, and you may be able to find the answer.

So, go for it.

He followed the clues until he reached the end. There was only one way to tell him at the end.

Search in the endless nothingness, and you will always find what you are looking for.

Then go for it. The boy said goodbye to all his friends, friends, and enemies. The first step towards the endless nothingness was taken.

In the endless nothingness, everything seems so chaotic. Here you move forward and you go backward at the same time, time passes forward and backward, you exist and you pass away at the same time, you move and you stand still. In the void, only the strong will of the individual can allow you to maintain yourself in the endless nothingness. In nothingness, you will find nothing, and in nothingness, you will find everything.

However, the boy also understood one thing.

At the beginning, he did not accept the world of Azeroth, but Azeroth accepted him. It was Azeroth who sheltered him from nothingness.

"A journey in the midst of endless nothingness is just a journey that keeps moving forward. And this world is just a foothold for me to stop in the endless nothingness. Zhao Mian stopped moving forward and looked back at the thoughtful Kazumi Yoshida, "I am an outsider who is not welcomed by the world, and I can only travel between countless worlds until I find a world that accepts me, or a world where I belong." Got it?"

Kazumi Yoshida shook her head in annoyance.

"Forget it. Zhao Mian sighed, "If you don't understand, you should be." Don't think about it yet, you're home. ”
