The faint candlelight in the deep cavern showed Reina the environment - the furnishings of the cave were so shabby that they could barely be called a home, and the walls were covered with ashes-stained portraits, which were now somewhat gray and decaying at the slightest touch. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Reina...... Brother Reina, yes, please sit here. ”

The little girl moved a bamboo bench for Reina to sit down, and scooped a glass of water from the river stream with a bamboo tube and handed it over, "The surrounding environment has been a bit bad recently, so I'm really sorry that I couldn't treat you well." ”

"It's okay...... I'm casual. ”

By this time, the girl had gone into the depths of the cave with wild vegetables in her arms, as if she was going to prepare for cooking, and although she tolerated her sister for bringing Reina back, she did not give Reina any good looks along the way.

"Excuse me......" Reina put down the bamboo tube, "Are you two sisters the only ones around here?" ”

The little girl shook her head and shook her head, "We all lived together before, but because the king has recently returned to this world, we have been separated in the chaos. Because of the presence of corpses, we don't dare to go too far. ”

The logic and train of thought of the girl's speech were extremely clear, which was really not the behavior of a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old.

"Although I don't know how much you know about this world, Brother Reina, I'll explain it just in case."

The little girl swallowed, "Don't look at me like this...... I've been alive for almost a thousand years. But I've been like this for a thousand years...... Hmmm......"

That is to say...... Is there a passage of time in this world, but the passage of human life? Reina asked.

"Hmm...... Probably that's the ......" the little girl obviously didn't expect the person in front of her to understand so well, "forgot to introduce herself...... My name is Chaohua, and my sister's name is Yehua-Brother Reina, I want to confirm it-Do you know about the abyss? ”

The aborigines of this world know more things than they can imagine.

Compared to the existence of the Forgotten People in the world of El, they are significantly more sound and self-contained.

"Chaohua. Come and eat. ”

Yehua didn't call Reina to come over to eat, but there were three bowls on the table.

"Okay......"

Chaohua was completely aware of her sister's temperament, and she dragged Reina to the wooden table, "Sister is like this because she hasn't talked to anyone else for too long, you see she's still very kind." ”

Chaohua...... Don't talk too much. ”

Yehua picked up a lock of soaked white noodles, and saw that Reina Wuzi was still there watching the chopsticks and studying for a long time,

"A brave man from the West?"

Reina habitually used a smile to hide his embarrassment, although he was once one with Ye Feiye in the world of Yingfu, but after the clone left, Ye Feiye's memory was completely wiped out.

"What a nuisance...... Unexpectedly, this time it was the brave man of the West again. ”

A frowning Yehua walked up behind Reina, took his hand, and taught him how to use chopsticks.

"Hmm...... That's about it. I don't think there's anything difficult about the knives and forks you like to use. It's really not easy for you to learn chopsticks. ”

Yehua's complaint also touched some of Reina's thoughts, seeing his thoughtful look, Yehua became impatient again, "If you have something you want to ask, mention it." Take whatever you need, and if you lead the way, you won't be able to do so. Wang Cheng is so conspicuous, I don't want you to involve me and Chaohua in danger. ”

"Sister......

"Even eternal life fears death?"

Reina's question touched the hearts of Yehua and Chaohua, and the two who were still arguing suddenly became silent, "Brother Reina, our 'eternity' is only the eternity of existence, killed by corpses, or due to hunger or other reasons, and lost bodily functions, they will lose their original bodies and become corpses whose souls are bound in them. ”

"Corpse ...... The four corpses I had defeated, I saw that after cutting off their bodies, they healed in a slow way. ”

"Didn't you say that...... The existence of the Aborigines is eternal. You strangers are the only ones who will die. ”

Yehua breathed a long sigh of relief, "Our king...... Never defeated by any brave man. For a thousand years...... Never. If the power of the black sword in your hand comes from the abyss, then I advise you not to go to the trouble of fighting the king in vain. The king is ......"

Yehua's gaze was drawn to Reina's action of touching the black sword.

"I am with your king...... There is an agreement; I have come to fulfill this promise—but until then, since you are the natives of this world, you should know all about the king's deeds...... If I could, I would like to know what happened to the king before I conclude the pact of the abyss. ”

"Sister, sister, ......!"

As Reina's words fell, Chaohua's emotions became more and more surging, "Reina...... Brother Reina says he knows our king! This...... This time it must be—"

"It's just a word...... Yehua put away the dishes and chopsticks with a blank face, and then took down a map on the wall.

"See this wood? This is the Forest of the King's Oath to Become a Demon Lord: many brave men, like you, decided to understand the king and find out his weaknesses before dealing with her, but they disappeared in the woods without even seeing the king's appearance. Of course, there are also deserters who claim to have witnessed all this and come back to tell us that the treasure of the Forest of Oaths is guarded by the king's twelve demon generals, and the demon generals are as strong as the demon lords of other planes - you can be chosen here by the abyss, you must have fought with the demon lord, right? You should understand how powerful they are. Saying that, Yehua put away the map, and I, "If you want to go, we won't stop you, but I still stick to my previous wishes, don't get us involved, we just want to live." ”

Stay alive;

Sometimes...... It's a very simple goal, and sometimes it's ...... But it seems extremely harsh.

"Sister...... Is that really good? ”

Chaohua's expression was extremely lonely, "It's ...... It's been so many years, and we're finally hoping for a glimmer of hope to live like this...... If you live like this, what's the difference between living and dying?! ”

"Alright......" Reina stroked Chaohua's head, "take your sister's word for it." Do that...... At least alive. ”

And as long as you live, no matter how terrible despair you encounter in front of you, there will be little hope - but as long as you have a glimmer of hope and faith, you will not be swallowed up by the curse of the corpse.

Mankind......

As humble as an ant, yet as great as a god.

"It's the time of the Blood Moon, and it's also the time when the activity of the corpses outside is at its most rampant." Yehua sorted out the map and put it in a bamboo tube and handed it to Reina, "I saw that you should be able to understand the information on the map just now, so take it first." Rest with us tonight and move again tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you very much."

Reina greeted Yehua's head.

The girl's dim eyes were fixed on Reina's face, and it was difficult for anyone to discern what was going on for a moment.
