Text Chapter 261: The Old Ruler
"What is the indescribable?" Ionia asked Wang Zhiran with trepidation.
Wang Zhiran looked at the little Lori in front of him and said slowly: "Let me tell you a story, it is a story before the birth of the multiverse." ”
Once upon a time, the multiverse had not yet been born, and that era was called the Old Age, and there is no historical record of any history about that era.
But one thing is recognized, in that era, there lived a special group of creatures, and their life forms were completely different from the life forms of all living beings today, so this kind of creatures are called the old rulers.
It is also because the life forms of the old rulers are completely different from ours, and in our eyes, the images of those guys are extremely strange, so they will also be called indescribable. It is said that the mere sight of their indescribable appearance makes mortals mentally crippled and completely insane!
With the passage of time, the birth of the multiverse, the arrival of a new era, and the old rulers disappeared into the long river of time, but their influence did not disappear.
For example, the Old Sages, the Elder Gods, and Sernaga in the multiverse are all believed to have a certain connection to those of the Old Dominators, and some people even believe that they are the children of the Old Dominators, left in the multiverse.
"Brother Wang, how do you know so much, have you ever seen them?" Ionia blinked her little eyes and looked at Wang Zhiran.
"I haven't seen it, but a friend of mine once saw a son of the old ruler and claimed that there was a battle with the Giants of Light. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhiran paused, and then said: "Of course, the first time I really heard that the old days were dominant, it was from my ...... Well, my grandmother's ancestors learned about it. ”
Ionia bit her finger and asked, "Brother Wang, your grandmother's ancestor, what is the relationship?"
"Anyway, you just need to know that she's very knowledgeable. ”
Wang Zhiran smiled awkwardly, and then said: "The old ancestor told me that although these old rulers have disappeared in the long river of time, before they disappeared, there were once their descendants all over the multiverse, maybe there is one under our feet. ”
"Huh, that sounds scary!"
Perhaps because of fear, or perhaps because she recalled her previous dream, Ionia leaned tightly against Wang Zhiran's body, wanting to seek warmth.
"yes, those guys do look scary, but that still doesn't stop the brave from exploring. ”
Wang Zhiran touched Ionia's little head and said, "In my hometown, there was once a person who was very brave enough to record the story of those old rulers in books, and if I remember correctly, this person's name should be Lovecraft. His courage to confront the unspeakable has inspired countless followers to explore the secrets of those guys. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhiran picked up Ionia, let her little face look at him, and continued: "So, Ionia, remember, those seemingly indescribable things are not invincible, as long as you muster up the courage and dare to face them, then even the indescribable things cannot destroy your mind. ”
Ionia looked at Wang Zhiran and said with some sadness: "But, Brother Wang, I'm still young, and I can't have the courage like you. ”
"No, Ionia, don't think so. ”
Wang Zhiran continued: "Courage is never innate. On the contrary, for a mortal, fear is innate. I was just a human being, I had been through many seemingly hopeless circumstances, and at that time, I could feel the fear in my heart, but I still dared to move forward. ”
"Remember, Ionia, true courage is not the absence of fear, but the courage to face it! ”
"Is that really the case?"
Obviously, for Ionia, the little Lori, she doesn't seem to understand Wang Zhiran's words very well.
Wang Zhiran, on the other hand, touched Little Lori's head and said, "That's it, Ionia, okay, now it's time for you to muster up the courage to sleep well." Only by sleeping well can you have the energy tomorrow to go to the village to play, right?"
"Hmm!"
Ionia nodded obediently, lay back down, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Wang Zhiran didn't fall asleep immediately, but looked at the dark environment around him, and said softly: "It seems that the arrival of the Abyss Boss has really had an incomparably huge impact on this world, isn't it?"
The next day, after breakfast, Wang Zhiran took Ionia around the village of Gil and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the village.
The whole village of Gil is surrounded by forests on both sides to the southwest, green hills on the north, and a large river to the east, perhaps because of the season, there are no fish in the river.
However, according to the villagers, there is a certain time of year when a large number of plump fish come down the river for them to catch, and Ionia is drooling as they listen.
The villagers also mentioned that there are two roads leading to the outside world, one to the west and the other to the north.
There are only two paths.
In the evening of the same day, the two returned to the house of the village chief, Grandpa Jill. At night, Ionia still slept with Wang Zhiran, and Ionia had another nightmare, but this time the content of the nightmare changed.
"Brother Wang, in addition to the monsters I saw in the darkness, I also saw a scarlet sky! There were three people, a man with golden light, a man laughing wildly, and a very beautiful sister. ”
"Eh, Ionia, is this a nightmare?" Wang Zhiran, who was woken up by the cry of the little Lori, asked a little embarrassed.
Ionia looked at Wang Zhiran and said, "That beautiful sister, she saw me, her eyes were very fierce, as if she was going to kill me!"
So that's the case, Wang Zhiran touched Lori's little head and comforted: "Don't worry, Ionia, there's nothing here." Remember, Ionia, pluck up your courage. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhiran couldn't help but yawn, and then said: "Now, let's get a good night's sleep, tomorrow is the most critical day." ”
"Tomorrow?" Ionia asked suspiciously, "Brother Wang, what day is tomorrow?"
Wang Zhiran pointed to the sky outside the bedroom window and said, "Do you see the moon in the sky?"
"See, there are two!"
"yes, are they round?"
"Brother Wang, those two moons are not round, each has a small gap!"
"Well, yes, because it's not until tomorrow night, it's the night of the full moon. ”
Yes, tomorrow is the night of the full moon!
On the morning of the third day, after Wang Zhiran still finished breakfast, he took Ionia around the village of Gil and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the village.
But this time, Wang Zhiran clearly noticed that the villagers were busy, as if they were preparing something.
Ionia looked at the busy villagers and asked, "Brother Wang, what are they doing?"
Wang Zhiran didn't answer, but asked, "Ionia, do you remember the courage I told you?"
"What's the matter, Brother Wang?" Ionia looked at Wang Zhiran.
Wang Zhiran replied, "Remember it, because you'll need it soon." ”
In the evening of the same day, Wang Zhiran took Ionia back to the house of the village chief Grandpa Jill, and after pushing the door, Wang Zhiran saw Grandpa Jill with a smile on his face, and a group of villagers in black robes.
Not only that, but even the entire hall has been changed, and the original long tables are gone, except for the many lit candles on the floor, forming a corridor that leads directly to the closed wooden door in the hall!
Seeing this scene, Ionia's expression was very puzzled, she obviously didn't understand what Grandpa Jill, the always kind village chief, planned to do.
Wang Zhiran was very calm, his left hand was holding Ionia's small hand, and his right hand closed the door and locked it.
Seeing this scene, Grandpa Jill smiled and said, "Actually, you shouldn't close the door." ”
Wang Zhiran said with a smile: "These days, I have counted the number of villagers, a total of one hundred and eight people, well, the heavens and the earth are shaking, one hundred and eight stars. It's just that, in the hall, including you Jill, there are only thirty-six people, that is, seventy-two people outside. ”
Little Lori's face was full of doubts.
Grandpa Jill smiled: "Xiao Wang, you have observed really carefully, which means that you already knew, right?"
Wang Zhiran still smiled: "Yes, to be honest, I really didn't expect to be here and encounter that kind of thing." ”
Grandpa Jill then laughed, "Why don't you run away? after all, you are a young man, you should be able to leave the village, after all, you also know the way to leave the village." ”
Wang Zhiran still smiled: "Yes, there are two of them." But, I'm gone, what about Ionia?"
Jill finally restrained his original kind smile, looked at Wang Zhiran, and said, "Xiao Wang, judging from your appearance, you should not have any blood relationship with Ionia at all! Why do you want to help her? You will only put yourself in it, is it worth it?"
Although Ionia is also black-haired, her sapphire-like eyes are completely different from Wang Zhiran's black eyes.
This also shows that the two are not related by blood!
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ionia seemed to understand something, and immediately looked up at Wang Zhiran.
Wang Zhiran also restrained his smile and said to Jile: "Sure enough, at the beginning of the fight, the thing behind the door asked for Ionia. Also, you certainly don't know the meaning of Ionia's existence, but the thing behind the door does!"
"Xiao Wang, you know a lot, but this can't change your fate, since you insist on choosing to stay, then you will become a sacrifice of the gods!"
As soon as the words fell, Jill waved his right hand, and the people around him immediately flocked to Wang Zhiran!
