"Sinners of the tribe, and without a name?" Roger repeated with a frown, not understanding what it meant, but perhaps Senna knew, because he caught a glimpse of Senua's face changing, and the hand that was holding the boy loosened without a trace.

"You...... Say it's none of your business, so do you know what's going on here?" asked Roger.

Glancing at the torches in fear, the boy moved away from Roger, his small body almost cowering in the shadow of the tent.

"I ..... I didn't know anything, I was just being held alone in a tent, with members of the reconnaissance team guarding me, and we were walking all the way from the Stone Ridge to a new black erosion site in the Glow Plains.

After about five or six days of travel, we passed through this grassland, where we had planned to rest for a short time before heading to the barren hills. ”

Roger nodded, the place where he came was the barren hills, but the continuous barren hills were difficult to get supplies, if he hadn't encountered Senua's outpost, he would probably starve to death, and it was understandable to supply supplies in this slightly rich grassland area.

He subconsciously grabbed the hem of his shirt with his hand, and his eyes wandered over Roger and Senua: "Just as we were resupplying, there was a sudden chaos in the camp. ”

Roger hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The boy almost shrunk his body together, and his tone was full of fear and fear: "Black erosion! It's on the side of the camp, very close!"

"It can't be!"

Roger didn't continue to ask, but Senna exclaimed on the side: "This is impossible, since the records of outposts, the black eclipse phenomenon has never crossed the boundary of the Glow Plains, although the frequency of their appearance has indeed increased recently, there is a large area of black eclipse even connected into a piece, but they still only spread at the edges, how can they appear in the grassland location." ”

Roger looked at Senna with some confusion, he seemed to see this native girl so emotional for the first time in the past two days of knowing Senua.

"I ...... I didn't see it with my own eyes. The boy was frightened by Senua's question, but Mu Mu responded, "I've been imprisoned here since I came to this grassland, and I can only tell what happened by the voices outside, I just heard them shouting that there was a black erosion nearby, and then ......."

At this, the boy suddenly squatted down with his head in his hands, his immature face full of pain, and soon he rolled on the ground with a splitting headache.

"Don't ...... Don't pull me over....... There...... It's so dark ...... there."

At the same time, the boy began to mumble indistinct words, his tone full of despair.

Seeing the boy rolling all over the ground, he only had a few words repeated over and over again in the face of Roger and Senua's questioning, the guess in Roger's mind gradually became clear, and the mysterious symbol that had been hidden in his right eye resurfaced again, just this glance, Roger took several steps back, his muscles tensed, and he almost launched an attack on this boy.

"So that's what happened, how can there be any survivors, this kid is the only undead here! he has even begun to change in the direction of evil spirits!"

In Roger's point of view, the boy is like a hazy and blurry cloud of smoke, and even loses the normal form of a living being, many black dots are like ink soaked in water, and when these soul-symbolizing smoke and dust are completely blackened, then it means that the boy has completely become an evil spirit.

"Looks like he's having a problem with his memory. Seeing the boy in such a state, Roger could only muttered helplessly to Senua. "He didn't even know that the camp was over—could this man's memory be stuck before the mutation happened?"

"And he reacted so much to that day, so the reason why he became an evil spirit was the so-called black erosion?

Thinking to himself, Roger looked at the blackening of the boy's soul again, then turned to Senna and asked, "What do you mean by sinner, and why is he so distressed at the mention of the black erosion that happened that day?"

Senna hesitated slightly, staring at the flickering firelight, and said in a deep voice, "The sinner is the descendant of the priest who tried to disperse the dark clouds that covered the sky. ”

Now that the conversation box has been opened, Senua's narration has gradually become smoother.

"The priests of the kingdom who had lost the power of the incantation arrived at the foot of the sacred tree of Nuratis together with the fleeing procession, and the great frozen frost followed, but the ancestors tried all the methods, including prayer, could not awaken the sacred tree, and all the people fell into despair, and the crowd began to disorganize, and a fight broke out, and a priest who had lost his power died in the conflict, and the blood flowed to the roots of the sacred tree, and something surprising happened. ”

"The sacred tree, which had been withering since the beginning of the record, shook a few times, pulled out new shoots, and a faint glimmer dispelled some of the cold, and the ancestors were ....... when they saw this."

"No need to go on, I see. Roger said in a deep voice.

Senna was silent for a moment and continued, "...... The ancestors prayed at the foot of the holy tree, the cold was behind them, the clansmen lost their vitality one by one, the sages offered offerings, and finally woke up the eternal sleeping holy tree, the holy tree bloomed with thousands of feet of heavenly light, as if the sun reappeared, and the biting cold dissipated in an instant...... The offerings referred to in this history are the flesh and blood of the Kingdom priests. ”80

Staring at the boy who was still rolling with emotionless eyes, Roger said slowly: "In that case, then the Kingdom priests who sacrificed themselves to become the opportunity for your people to be reborn should be considered heroes, right?"

Here Roger accentuates his tone when he says the word 'you'.

Senna was silent for a while before she spat out an explanation that I didn't know whether it counted: "Most of the ancestors who fled were low-class commoners, and they were born in opposition to the priests who were nobles......."

"Foolish!"

With a serious rebuke, a powerful aura was overflowing from Roger's body, and it was like an ice cave around him, and the light of the torches seemed to be faint, so that just standing near Roger, Senna felt that her whole body was gradually freezing.

"Can a group of people live or die at will just by relying on the connection between such phenomena? With the flesh and blood of mortals, can the primordial creatures planted by the gods be activated and have them disperse the climate change that has swept the plane?

"Let me guess, you think that throwing the blood of these Kingdom priests into the Black Eclipse, a symbol of the wrath of the gods, will appease the wrath of the gods?

As if finding that he couldn't solve the problem at all, Roger fell silent, and the events here reminded him of some things, and his emotions were uncontrollable.

The boy's groans of pain faded as Roger crouched down in silence and picked him up.

Dragged by Roger, half supported and half dragged, the boy hobbled back to his chair, grabbing his hair and muttering, "Brother...... What's going on...... Am I already dead......"

Roger nodded silently.

The boy didn't react much unexpectedly, or maybe the pain just now reminded him of a vague calculation, and he was too stimulated to lose the ability to react, he just looked at Senua's face in a daze, and didn't say anything, which made Roger, who was always concerned about the pollution of the boy's soul, breathe a sigh of relief.

"I remembered....... I was taken there after the eclipse appeared, and then thrown in after the prayers. ”

The boy's tone was bitter for his age, but he still insisted: "..... I lost my memory after that, and when I woke up, all the law enforcement teams were dead, blood was spilled all over the floor, and I felt the urge to devour them...... The fire was still burning, and I thought I couldn't let them lie there, so I piled them together......."

"Can you take us there. Roger said as calmly as his voice as he could.

The boy nodded bitterly, and the black in his soul became a little thicker.

"Come, let's go. ”

The boy stared at Roger's large outstretched hand in confusion and held out his small hand for Roger to hold.

Feeling the weird, slippery and warm touch coming from the boy's palm, the slightly clean Luo Qi didn't react, but said angrily to Senua, who hung her head: "Okay, let's go, do you want to stay here alone?"

Senna wanted to speak and stopped, and the ideas that had been instilled for a long time were refreshed in a short period of time, and the impact on this simple girl was no less than the omen of a great freeze.

Two large and one small figures walked through the dilapidated camp, Roger's mind was complicated, Senna naturally had no desire to speak, just walked through the fence on the other side of the camp, and the empty grassland reappeared in front of Roger's eyes.

The night seemed to have no end, it was overwhelming, completely blocking off the entire space outside the town, and only a few minutes after leaving the camp, everyone could no longer see the direction from which they came. In the midst of this chaos, Senna grabbed Roger's sleeve with some uneasiness: "Roger, will we get lost?"

At this moment, the boy suddenly said, "This is it." I was thrown into that black erosion. ”

"That's ......"

The fluorescence floated in Roger's right eye, and through the darkness of the night, he saw the black erosion.

Wisps of mist flowed through the air as if they were substance, drawing the outline of a huge vortex under the pull of the magic, and heavy red light appeared out of thin air in the mist. Gradually, a huge spherical structure was formed, which was embedded in the surface of the earth like a huge eyeball with a radius of several meters, surrounded by the icy wind and hissing electricity, and in the light and mist of the sphere, it seemed that a piece of space had been dug out, and only a black deeper than the night was looming.

Black Eclipse - This is the so-called black eclipse phenomenon, a spatial rift that leads to endless nothingness.
