24 The Cursed Nation (3)
Robin is old. He began to lose his hair, and his sturdy body slowly swelled, looking middle-aged. Silver saw Robin chopping wood in the dense forest, and the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Yo! you're here. Robin looked at Silver, still so young, and he was already an old man.
"Do you want to buy something today? I'll pick you up for some in town. Robin took the firewood, and his tone was not as warm as before, he was no longer a ten-year-old boy.
"Where's Anil?" asked, sensing the change in his friend.
Robin looked at Silver as if he had seen the time when the three of them had gone before. He led the silver to another room in the forest, where Anil lay down.
"She's dying, but she's been waiting for you. Robin walked out of the house and left the two of them alone.
"Silver, you're here......" There was a woman lying on the bed, her face was thin, her skin was a little loose, she was panting, her cloudy eyes revealed a look, and she was as gentle as before: "Long time no see, you are still the same." ”
“...... You too, Anil. Silver reached out and took his friend's hand, which, unlike before, was covered with calluses, and the tips of his fingers were tiny cracks that could be seen. She's old, but what she sees hasn't changed.
Anil smiled, and his hoarse throat slowly said, "I've always been curious, who are you?"
"I thought you were a fairy in the woods. Always so beautiful. There was a yearning in Anil's tone.
"Now, I don't care who you are. You are you, Silver. It's mine...... Friends ......"
Anil's voice grew softer and softer, and she slowly closed her eyes. She was gone, and she walked so happily.
'Friends ......'
This is the second time Silver has faced 'death'. He looked at Anil, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and a sadness slowly welled up in his heart. A silent cry echoed in his ears, and he lowered his eyes, but not a single tear could be shed.
"She is very happy, thank you. ”
Robin pushed the door open and burst into tears as he looked at his sister who had gone peacefully on the bed.
Silver stayed at Robin's house for two days, and he gathered a lot of flowers and placed them at Anil's grave.
On the side, Minnie looked at the silver immortal's face, and a wave of fear welled up in his heart. He told Mike of the bakery, who immediately summoned the townspeople, who came with torches and hoes to lead the forest.
"Find!" Mike ordered, and a large group of people began to conduct a carpet search. Ever since he learned the secret of Silver's immortality, he had been terrified. He told the townspeople that Silver was a descendant of the elves, and that if they were caught and drank his blood, they would be immortal!
Ignorance and lust urge people to become devils.
Many people like Mike who had seen Silver easily took his word for him, and encouraged the people around them to go to the jungle to find the elves.
Robin was on the way to chop wood when he noticed something unusual. He hurried back to the hut and left the house with the silver.
Soon, they were discovered by the townspeople. They are constantly being forced into the depths of the forest, hoping to discover a tribe of elves.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. When people approached with torches and shovels, the once-in-a-century dragon metamorphosis began.
Silver's body was like a knife scraping bone marrow, and the pain was excruciating, and his hands were hard scales and sharp claws, and his face showed fangs.
Robin was frightened when he saw this scene, and he changed his way just now, and his eyes were filled with endless fear. He raised the machete in his hand, his fingers shaking.
"Ahh......h
This is the reason why the Icarus family is immortal - dragon molt.
The Icarus family is a combination of man and 'that world'. Their existence is a taboo in itself, and immortality is not as beautiful as people imagine.
The body of the Icarus people grows very slowly, and if they want to grow up, they must go through the 'dragon metamorphosis', and the process of the 'dragon metamorphosis' is extremely painful, and if you are not careful, you will die in the transformation again and again.
'Dragon Molt' is actually an atavistic phenomenon, which is the process of the Icarus people's degradation from humans into demonic beasts, and only after the scales of the whole body are peeled off, will they slowly return to their original state.
Therefore, the Icarus family is inseparable from the Abismus Zone, and they need a safe place to complete the 'dragon metamorphosis'.
The government gave the Abismus Strip to the Icarus family, who became the gatekeepers between humanity and the abyss.
The betrayal of his friend left a blood-red mark on Silver's body.
This is the third time Silver has faced 'death'.
At the deadline of the ebb and flow of the tide, Silver dragged the bleeding wound back to the entrance. And what greeted him at the corridor was his father, whose face did not change.
"It's all over. ”
Seeing his father's figure, Silver finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell unconscious.
Diffen picked up his son and closed the door again.
When Silver woke up again, he found himself immersed in a huge glassware and covered in chains.
"Brother, you're awake. Ji Xi happily looked at the awakened Gin, her eyes soaked with tears.
When Dad came out with her brother in his arms, she realized how wrong they had been. The outside world is not only about garlands and pastries, but also about danger and death.
She thought everything was too simple, which is why her brother became like this. Guilt is deeply rooted in Ji Hee's heart, making her slowly become taciturn from her previous cheerful appearance. So much so that now she is like an emotionless robot, only obeying her father's orders and abiding by the ancestral teachings of the family.
Silver, who has gone through all this, truly feels the curse on himself. It was a bottomless 'loneliness' and a 'fear' of death.
However, in such a day, silver went through another hundred years.
Until he broke out of the house again and met Chen Yan......
The silver in the glassware awakens again. This is the second time he has experienced 'dragon metamorphosis', and his body has grown to the appearance of a teenager. He lay quietly in the nutrient solution, his eyes hollow and lonely.
'Still back here alone......
His gaze shifted to Portaskai, where there was a martial arts hall with a drunken curator and three stupid apprentices who were tormented by him and screamed repeatedly.
"No, no, no, the gas is not dense enough! This kind of 'Huan' is useless at all in battle! Give me more strength!" Martini scolded sharply, and the wine foam star flew into the faces of the three of them.
"I'll do it again! Imps, show me clearly!"
I saw Martini's luck with the causal qi in his whole body, as soon as it tightened, a high-density air pressure was released around his body, and there was no gap between the gases: "You must carefully feel every trace of causal qi in your body, gather them together, and release them in one breath!"
"It's the timing of the release that matters!"
Following Martini's teachings, the three of them once again transported the karma qi in their bodies, gathered to the apex and released it in one breath: "Huan!"
The three air pressures rub against each other in the air and then slowly weaken.
"So-so. Martini bit his wine glass and said that he had cleared the level: "In the future, the training of 'Huan' will be carried out before fighting me, and you will only be considered to have mastered it when you can use 'Huan' smoothly." ”
"Alright, boy, let's move on. Martini nodded to Chen, signaling him to get ready.
Chen Yan stinked and walked into the training room with his feet raised.
There is still a month and a half before Abismus goes low.
