Chapter 244: Let's Just Get Married
Now that I think about it, Loria spent most of her time underground.
At least Nomorigen is brightly lit...... Apparently a nocturnal creature, Loria still misses the artificial light.
The dim light faded as the candles burned out, and Loria struggled in the darkness to read the letters, all reports of the movements of the Scarlet Crusade - as always, hardly anything unusual.
Have they really forgotten about themselves?
Being in the underground capital of the undead, my sense of time has long since become blurred, but whether it is a few months or a year, my disappearance cannot even make a ripple?
Loria was skeptical, trying to find a credible reason for Renault or someone else to ignore her, but to no avail.
Between a few months and a year, Loria's estimate is pretty good - why hasn't anyone compiled a calendar to help people know the time?
"Alice, remember, how long have we been here?"
In a world where most mothers have a hard time answering the exact age of their children, it would be silly to ask such a question to an almost immortal being.
"You expect to go through more years than the oldest reptilian to remember time?" said Alice, who still didn't seem to have grown up even though she was busy eating every day.
Maybe she did have been alive for a long time, but the time she really realized was only a dozen years.
Alice just doesn't have to care about time.
"Hmm...... Let's create a calendar. Loria was a break from her melancholy and wanted to distract herself from something interesting, "What day is the starting day? How many days are the year?and, most importantly, what is the name of our calendar?"
"Let's start with the name. Alice was also interested, "Alice and Loria?"
It's silly.
Besides, why put Alice's name in front.
"It's still called Moe Calendar. โ
"What's that, it's called Lothar!"
โโฆโฆ Let's talk about the feasibility of the Loria and Alice calendar. โ
"Why put your name in front!"
"And how about 'Loria and Alice, dashes, rankings in no particular order'?"
"No, no, no, it's Alice and Loria, dashes, and rankings in no particular order."
"The rankings are already in no particular order, what are you doing if you have to put your name in front!"
"Shh~~~"
Loria stretched out her hand to bounce Alice away, and then the witty Alice had already seen through it, and bit Loria's finger with a big gulp while dodging!
Then Loria shoved the whole Alice into her mouth.
"I almost got eaten......"
"I almost swallowed something strange......"
It was said that Alice and Loria's negotiation mechanism was very efficient, and they quickly came to an agreement to spell their names together.
RI or LRIE...... Or Alia is better to hear.
Under the unbreakable bond, the first chronological calendar in the history of humans and tentacles was born beneath the ruins of Lordaeron!
So when does the year begin?
Alice prefers to start the era from the day she was born, while Loria wants to start with the day when the delicious chocolate cake first appeared in human society...... Unfortunately, Alice can't count how long it's been since she was born, and Loria doesn't know when the delicious chocolate cake appeared.
Thereupon.
"Just today, the day we compile the calendar. โ
According to Loria's pocket watch, they divided the day into twenty-four parts, and the month into thirty days according to the cycle of the red moon...... But how many days should there be in a year?
Loria really doesn't know Ai Xing's orbital cycle...... Now she couldn't go to a sunny place to measure it, and the gnomes' engineering calendar was of no reference - the dwarf calendar could be long or short, and the length was based on the birth of a major invention, and since the fall of Nomorigen, the gnomes had lost their calendar.
Just because of the lack of an almanac, they had no idea how long each season was......
It turns out that we are so ignorant of the world we live in - Loria and Alice sigh together, they are both people who are done with an 'oh' when the seasons change.
"Whatever, now we've got the final say. After deeply reflecting on her own carelessness in life, Loria said: "There are twelve months in a year, and there are thirty days in each month, so it was decided. โ
"Uh-huh. Alice nodded vigorously, "If there's anything wrong, it's the planet's fault." โ
RI0, January 1.
Together, Loria and Alice draw a horizontal line on the board.
โฆโฆ
RI0, March 17.
Loria carved the seventy-seventh mark on the third board with her wide, bloodshot eyes, and without the help of a computer, after the initial enthusiasm cooled, manually updating the calendar became a tedious task.
Especially underground, they couldn't tell the day or the night - but Loria got some materials from Sopei and assembled a clock with twenty-four scales and a three-digit counter.
They had not been mistaken about the calendar they had invented, but now records were driven by an obsession with getting something done.
"Why did you do such a stupid thing in the first place......" Alice whimpered, she almost couldn't stand the strange thought of forcing herself to stare at the clock every day, "my dear Loria, why are we so stupid?"
"Huh...... Putting the plank away, Loria put down her carving knife, "My dear Alice, we have overlooked a larger problem...... We are all beings who are close to eternal life. โ
Seventy-seven days is about to drive this pair of good friends crazy, what will happen in the days to come?
Loria and Alice are both young and unable to comprehend the pain of eternal life, but they also peek a little less from the boring records of the day-to-day period.
From the date of the record to the endless years to be passed, Loria and Alice began to understand what was special about them.
"Uncle will be the first to die, maybe in ten or twenty years. Loria muttered, "And then the other younger humans I know." โ
In another hundred or two hundred years, the beauty of talent will reach her limit.
"And then there's Anne. Alice answered, "Three or four hundred years? โ
"And then, we're the only ones left. Loria stared at Alice and said, "We're finally going to lose interest in everything and sit in an unknown corner every day...... It records the unknown history and time. โ
Loria and Alice imagined their miserable evenings one by one...... No, they don't grow old at all, and they don't have the idea of 'evening scenes'.
If they are lucky, the world will destroy them before them, and they will all slowly become stronger over time, and they will be the last witnesses of the world's death.
Even ruined miรจ reeks of loneliness.
"Now, if we want to be together forever, let's just get married. โ
"Okay, okay. โ
I don't know who mentioned yรฌ marriage first...... The two young immortals, who were still very, very young, and less than a fraction of their combined age, completely ignored that there were other similar beings in the world, and did not understand the real pain of these beings, and after finding a strange topic, they immediately forgot those imaginary troubles.
