Chapter 284: The Disappeared Zhu Tian
It was a long night, a long street, and only a blue hat muttered to himself in front of the church door.
"You say Heralex is a Yodelman?" What words should be used to describe Pique's mood......?" How do you know?"
The first knight of the continent, the youngest and most powerful knight of light, Heralex, who is regarded as the god of war by thousands of knights of light, is a Yodelman? He really wants to resurrect Herralx now, and then see what the expressions of those Odin people are when they see him.
Facing the statue of Heralex again, Pique was in a different mood than before.
Is it proud? Pride in being a yodelman? It should be like this, even the first knight of the continent is a yodelman, who else dares to look down on a yodelman?
He had expected that Heralex was an Odin or a Chian, otherwise how could the royal family and the Holy See allow a statue of a Jodelman to be placed in front of the church?
"Huh...... You may have forgotten who I am. Soros's tone was full of memories, "I have another identity, I'm a duke." As a noble duke, he naturally has access to many powerful people, and it is not surprising to meet Heralx. ”
"What? You said you'd seen Heralex?" Peake shouted in shock. "I'm amazed that you live in the same era as him!"
"That time...... Well, I have to say that he is an extremely confident man, and he has absolute confidence in everything, which is what ruined him. In the end he disappeared, in a great war a thousand years ago, he disappeared," Soros sighed in a low voice, and there was no regret in his tone, "I have another guess, perhaps...... He is also in the Tower of the Dead......"
......
......
Back at the lumberyard gate, with a happy smile on his face, it was here that he obtained the key to open the treasure chest of Hayska's happiness.
He had planned to take Haysjia home to avoid the rain, but when he got here, the rain stopped, so he had to send her back.
Pique returned to his house.
When he entered, he found that Ryder had made a bunk on the ground and gave up the whole bed to his grandfather, and it was ten in the morning, and both of them were asleep.
Peake tiptoed his futon on the floor and lay down.
Finally, he closed his blue-green eyes.
Dream.
Soros, Mist, Run, Tower.
Everything went according to plan.
Pique thought to himself, hurry up and take Soros back to the Tower of the Dead and exchange Zhu Tian back.
When they actually came to the Tower of the Dead, Soros was already weak, like a creak that had just returned, and Pique didn't dare to touch him. I could only follow him slowly.
By the time the two of them crossed the gravity stone steps in two directions to the second layer, Soros had noticeably improved. Because the undead aura on the second floor of the Tower of the Dead is obviously a little stronger.
Like a fish in water, Soros's face has improved, and his light green eyes have regained a little brightness. "Pique, what's wrong with you?" Soros saw Pique standing there in a daze.
But soon, he also realized something, and suddenly froze.
"No," Soros exclaimed. "What about Zhu Tian, where did that kid go? Shouldn't he be in the hall on the second floor?" Soros looked left and right, and by the faint light coming in from the window, his gaze swept every corner.
Where is Zhu Tian's figure?
He watched as Peake stared blankly at the open stone door, "This kid won't go in." Soros leaned on his cane and gestured in thought.
"The breath of the dead affects his mind. Peake stood for a long time, then finally muttered, "We have to find him!"
Soros looked seriously at the crack in the stone door, not knowing whether to say something or not.
Since that kid knew that the qi of the undead would affect his mind, he walked in?
Soros walked forward step by step, came to the stone gate, and said in a low voice:
"This guy has a lot of courage. You don't have to worry, I should be able to find him once I get in. ”
Peake's face was full of worry, and he came to his side, hesitantly asking, "Why?"
Soros looked at him and said, "What? Do you have any questions again?"
Pique, of course, had doubts, he had too many questions, and he wondered if others would dream of the abyss, and of the fog and the tower.
"If you want to ask, you can ask, but you won't have a chance in a while. Soros looked at Pique.
"Why do I have fog and towers in my dreams?" was Pique's first question, and the one he wanted to ask the most. In the dark, he felt a sense of fate being manipulated. It's as if everything has been arranged by someone else.
"I can't answer this question," Soros shook his head, and continued: "But I can tell you one thing first, in the real world, the Tower of the Dead also has its own body, and naturally, the main body of the tower is also a tower. Perhaps, when you know the body of the tower, you will know the secrets of your body. As for how you got here, I don't know very well. ”
"Why are you being locked up here?"
Peake realizes that he must learn more about the Tower of the Dead in order to discover the secrets that he is slowly discovering.
Soros's pale green pupils blurred, as if thinking about something far away, "yes, why am I being locked up here?" There was a look of remembrance on his face, and finally, he smiled and said to Peake, "You must think that I have committed something wrong to be locked up here." ”
"It's like a prison here," Peake said, looking at the runes on the stone door, "The gravity stone steps we walked on just now, the rune carvings on this door, seem to have unknown supernatural powers, obviously, you are locked up here by someone else." If you don't do anything wrong, why are you locked up? Is it just because you're the undead?"
"In the outside world, it is difficult for the undead to be replenished by the qi of the undead, so it will slowly dissipate and merge into the heavens and the earth. Soros said slowly.
There was silence.
"Is it a good thing for the undead to be able to enter the Tower of the Dead?" Peake suddenly struck a spirit, "So, you're not locked up, you're protected!"
A smile appeared on Soros's face, "It's always effortless to talk to smart people." He stroked the runes on the stone door and said, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Peake almost blurted out, "So what's the point of all this? What's the point of being locked up in such never-ending darkness? How did you survive all this thousand years of being wrapped in endless undead breath every day?"
"Is it a thousand years?" Thoros put his hand behind him, "Actually, you can't feel the passage of time in the stone gate, for a dead soul, all the feelings before life are slowly dissipating, losing your body, naturally, those loves and hates are also gone." What remains is just some pure thought and consciousness. Of course, only the purest thoughts and consciousness have enough condensed energy to not easily evaporate and disappear into the invisible like passing blood. ”
Thought and consciousness in its purest form?
Peake thought of when Soros first came out, and teased the girls in the mandala one by one.
Is such thought and consciousness pure?
I only heard Soros continue: "You probably wonder why I'm obsessed with love, right?" He had a playful smile on his face, "I said, I just want to flirt, this kind of thinking is very pure. ”
Peake wondered, "Are you going to make those girls sad?" I don't think that's right." ”
"Oh?" Soros retorted, "which girl do you see sad? Being liked is a positive energy, and you have to convey this energy so that others will know about it, and you will do a good thing. ”
It's strange knowledge again, and Pique can't understand it at all. "I can't see my beloved girl being molested. ”
"It's flirting!" Soros emphasized, "As a nobleman, of course you won't flirt with a married woman, and you still say that I? Obviously, you are molesting others! Hayser is already engaged." ”
Peake was silent.
Soros saw his loneliness, and he didn't rub salt on his wounds, he smiled: "Is there anything else you don't understand? I still have a lot to teach you." ”
Indeed, Soros gave him a lot of things, about "prophecy", about the Tower of the Dead.
Peake had those three words in mind: see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and feel with your heart.
At this time, he felt with his heart that Soros really did not have any ill will towards him.
"I can probably guess one thing, the people who are locked up in the Tower of the Dead are all good people. He remembered the creak, the helpful creak.
"Good guy?" Soros's tone suddenly became strange. "Then you're wrong. ”
"What? Am I wrong?"
"Where in this world is there good and bad? And I'm not human. In the Tower of the Dead, Soros's face was inhumanly pale, and Pique was stunned. "Of course, from your point of view, my essence is a human being. But what I'm telling you now is that it's not all humans locked up in the Tower of the Dead. He smiled mysteriously and pointed to it.
"You're saying that the higher levels are holding non-human species?"
"It's entirely possible, hehehe," Soros said in his characteristic magnetic voice, "after all, in my time, the rulers of the Great Road were not humans. ”
In an instant, goblins, elves, dwarves ...... This series of words poured into Pique's mind, and he had read the records of ancient books. But before, I only regarded those as myths and legends. Maybe when I have time, I'll have to go through the ancient books again. "Okay, thank you for telling me this, now I beg you to bring Zhu Tian out. "I was a little worried that he would lose his mind. ”
"Then I'll go in," Soros walked through the stone door, and finally, he turned back to Pique and said with a smile, "By the way, you have to remember to help me greet those girls when you go out!"
Greetings?Greetings from the Grand Duke a thousand years ago?Peake smiled wryly, he didn't intend to help Soros do this, it was a joke from the merry nobleman.
Watching Soros disappear into the stone gate, Pique was still faintly worried.
If it was really like what he thought, Zhu Tian had absorbed too much undead qi, how could he suppress Zhu Tian? Fortunately, he had recovered a little spiritual power, so that he would not have any resistance in the face of the terrifying undead qi.
As Soros said, staying in the Tower of the Dead does not feel the passage of time at all.
I don't know how long it took, but Peake finally heard faint footsteps coming from inside the stone door.
Did you find Zhu Tian?
He thought so, and then what he saw was...... Soros?
Peake was stunned, only to see Soros walk out of the stone gate again, shook his head at him with a solemn face and said:
"Zhu Tian is not here......"
