Chapter 9: The Story
"Ni Xia" Aina stood outside the door, and finally made up her mind to knock on the door for a long time, the door opened, Yi Fu still sat on the carpet and did not speak, Aina looked at her distressedly, walked to Yi Fu and squatted down. "Ni Xia has been losing her soul lately... Aina understands that Aina can see that Ni Xia has a shining and unyielding soul, and this force has been pushing Ni Xia, unwilling to live under protection, and has been working hard to improve and prove herself, Ni Xia is angry because the king can't understand you, but in fact, Ni Xia also has a misunderstanding of the king. ”
Ifu looked up at Aina, "Misunderstanding?"
Aina smiled and nodded, "Ni Xia, Ai Wei Wan Ding Ni Xia and the king have been together for thousands of years, and the strength of Ai Wei Wan Ding Ni Xia is recognized and admired by everyone in the Moon Domain, even the previous king praised that if it were not for the power of the royal family, he might not be able to defeat Ai Wei Wan Ding." Her soul was split, her body was even shattered, and finally turned into roses all over the ground in that abyss, and our enemies could easily kill her, but now you are still young and challenge the unknown alone, if you are replaced by a more powerful and experienced magician that day, how can you accept this news for the second time? It's not that the king is trying to limit you to anything, but he's been too busy lately... When this time passes, he will definitely come and explain it to you. Aina really didn't want things to go to the point where the two of them were going farther and farther, so she plucked up the courage to explain to Ifu, and Ifu looked at Aina blankly, and she suddenly understood Wild.
In the days that followed, Ifu began to look for things to do for herself, and she found some books that had been kept by Avi Late Ding, and there were many kinds of books, including political books, books on the exploration of ancient ruins and ancient magic, history books of various nations and tribes, and finally she found two books in the corner that looked a little old.
One is from a hundred years ago a flower generation adventurer, probably tells the author has been fortunate to enter the snow region, some simple exploration of the snow region, the supreme ruler of the snow region is the snow god, and there is a special race living in the snow region, called the water mirror clan, there is a lotus mark between the eyebrows, most of the people in the clan are women, their faces will be solidified for the most beautiful time in their lives, will not age, will not die naturally. The snow is frozen all year round, but every 50 years, the moon shines completely on the snowy region, and the snow region will have a strange scene of spring flowers blooming on the ice and snow. The only school in the snow region is the Shuili Academy, because the snow god pays attention to high-quality descendants, so it is stipulated that every fifty years, if the students who have reached the age of fifty in the Shuili Academy do not have any skills that have reached the elite recognition, or a skill that has not been recognized by the elite, but more than half of the skills have reached the excellent line, the water mirror clan will be given a mirror flower by the snow god when the moonlight shines on the snow region, and there will be no pain to end their lives.
The book also includes a simple drawing of the snowy city, which is the same as the map Ifu saw before, presumably the snowy part of the map is drawn according to the book, and it seems that the snowy region is still a mysterious place for the lunar region. At the end of the book, there is a passage in which an adventurer wants to explore the desolate land - Enkland, when he encounters a thousand-year-old storm rebellion, and when he thinks he is about to die here, a man and a woman appear in the wind, the male has a tall and thin body, and the female is very petite, they are dressed in white clothes like the moon god and have pointed ears like the dawn people, and the two rescue him, and he is shocked that they can actually use magic to heal, Even flying, in the adventurer's cognition, the only races that can fly are the royal family of the blood clan and the pure-blood nobles who are specially approved by the blood moon in the four major families, the dawn clan who has been guided by the wind god, some of the moon fox tribes with deep mana, and the "wind clan", the descendant of the wind god who is suspected of existing, and the adventurer was sure that the wind clan did exist in the world that day.
"The author of this book is Lother Herpert, who was once a great ancient historian and adventurer, who explored a lot of ancient monuments, and when it was released, it caused a sensation in the entire Moon Domain, but it was difficult for Encland to approach, and the Snow Land is an endless land of ice and snow, so the authenticity of this book is questioned, but you were convinced of it back then. Ifu looked up, and Wild, who didn't know when he was already beside her, leaned into her ear and read a book with her. Of course, because of Mr. Herpert's previous authoritative work, after many years of debate, it was finally decided to print the snow region depicted in it on the map and become a new map, which is also a kind of expectation of the elders for the juniors, hoping that the younger generations can also visit the snow region one day and contribute to the lunar region. Wild then added.
"Hmph, I will know these things in the future, but you, my noble king, you still take the time to peek at me reading, although it is your fault, but Yifu is really guilty, and you must reflect on it behind closed doors. Yi Fu pouted and said with a yin and yang strange air, but Wild changed his usual gentleness today, and rubbed her hair roughly, "It's not all you, a little troublemaker, I am busy, I just let you stay at home for a few days, and there is no restriction on your rest, you are good, you don't eat or drink in the room every day, and you talk yin and yang." ”
"Ahhhh
Like a quarrel a long time ago, which ended in messy hair on both sides, Wild regained his former gentleness and smiled bitterly at Ifu, "I'm sorry, I'm really worried about you... This is a last resort. You see, I'll come and explain to you as soon as I'm done. And Ifu sat upright, "... Me too, I was too headstrong to understand your difficulties, sorry. ”
"The cause of all this stems from an organization called the Black Church, which was previously in Moon City with the Holy Church. The Black Church was originally famous for pure black magic, but black magic is only a small faction in the Black Church, and the Black Church has studied a lot of evil arts behind the scenes, making it difficult for the Black Magic faction to be compatible with it, and then quit the Black Church, but the Black Church still accepts the Church in the name of Black Magic, and everyone was safe before, except for us Bukland. You should know that the beliefs of many races and countries in the Moon Region are not the same, and they have always maintained respect for all races, but we have always had a great conflict with the Black Church, the Black Church has always believed in the evil moon goddess behind the moonlight, and believes that the blood moon is the advent of the evil moon goddess, our blood clan does not believe in gods, only believes in the blood moon and the full moon alone, and the blood moon is the most important day of the blood clan, although we have always given the impression to the outside world that there is a sense of evil, but we have our own cognition. For some reason, the Black Church has always wanted to entrap Buckland, and even spread rumors and tampered with our beliefs in the outside world, so that the outside world has the illusion that the Black Church and Buckland are in the same spirit, and since then the relationship between the two sides has been extremely bad. It was rare for Ifu to see Wilde say so much, and nodded in surprise as he took notes as if he had been listening to a lecture at school.
"Because of our different positions, we are also more concerned about the movements of the black church, and the turning point of all this happened sixteen years ago... Although there were some lost children in Yuecheng before, it was also an occasional incident, but that year, Yuecheng began to frequently lose young girls, from noble families to orphanages, almost all children of various races disappeared, and behind this are the underworld church conducting live experiments, you found and revealed to confirm this, and went to the underworld church alone, Rescued the children who had not yet been experimented, and it was because of you that the impression of Bukland's capital in the Moon Domain was completely changed, and we became the righteous side, and the relationship with Moon City and Sofrant was also closer, and the Black Church betrayed Moon City, and the Black Church with nowhere to go chose to attack Forseyro..."Wilde paused suddenly, and his eyes showed pain that could not be concealed.
Ifu remembered the map, the Forest of Phoseryro, a forest filled with a large black mist, but the picture below the map was a beautiful dense forest.
"Fusairuo originally lived in a race called the Luoxiao clan, the Luoxiao clan has lived in Fusairo for a long time, the nature is pure and innocent, and usually maintains a good relationship with Yuecheng, before the news reached Fusairuo, the black church entered the territory of Luoxiao life in the name of visiting, first sneaked up on the elder power who could sense all the whereabouts in the forest, and then the black priest pretended to transfer a part of the people to kill it and pretend, And an ambush was carried out on the periphery, the leader of the Black Church, Miri Hogg, used magic to poison the food at the dinner party, murdered the royal family present, and launched an attack on other guards and civilians of the Falling Dawn Clan, the Falling Dawn Clan was defeated by the well-prepared Black Church, and saw that the royal power and the elder power were killed, and fought to the death with the Black Church, but until the escort was completely destroyed, only three or four percent of the Black Church was injured, and the Black Church began to slaughter the civilians, and some talented and intelligent children were taken away by the Black Church. Shiro and his men return to Forsyro to find that their hometown has been destroyed, and there has been no news of Sally since that day, there are rumors that she is dead, and there are rumors that she is hiding, but none of that matters... The Black Church seized Fusero and used its advantage to turn it into an inaccessible and dangerous zone, but they were not satisfied, because of you, they had lost their original stronghold and many followers, and your strength was too strong, and there would be heavy casualties in a head-on conflict with you, so they began to find a way to get rid of you..."
Yifu shuddered, one organization can easily wipe out an entire race?! How powerful is this, but even so, it is still no match for the former self... Ifu realized his insignificance, and felt more and more happy and afraid of that day's victory. "So, the bloodthirsty poisonous beast you mentioned earlier is their way of dealing with the previous ...'me'?"
“...... Yes. Sixteen years have passed, but for the blood clan who has lived for a thousand years, it seems as if everything happened yesterday, and every time he thinks about it, he still can't restrain his emotions, and hatred fills his eyes.
"The Luoxiao clan belongs to the demon race, even if they have not practiced magic, they are also natural magicians and elemental envoys, the black church will carry out the living refining method of the civilians of the Luoxiao clan, plus their own evil arts, and cultivate a poisonous beast, although the combat power is average, but it can tear the soul apart... After that month... You went out and never came back, until—" Wilder's sadness had melted into his words, and Ifu looked at him with grief, and the sadness in her heart also welled up, even if she had no memory, but just by imagining, she could know how desperate he was at that time.
“... Later, when I learned about the incident, I began to investigate, and the black church threw out a person in order to evade responsibility... It's your former friend, named Sorimo, who was crazy like a fool when I met her, and the priests of the Holy Church said that she had been cast by the Black Church, and they finally found a solution after a few days of research... The sinner told me that the Dark Church had bought her off, because you were very concerned about the follow-up of the Dark Church, and because of your relationship, she easily tricked you out and took you to an abyss at the junction of Moon City and Fussero, and made you drink the potion provided by the Dark Church under the pretext that there was poison below, but you didn't have the slightest suspicion of your friend... Later, when the Church knew that I was looking into the matter, they sent the sinner to cast a spell to make him mad in an attempt to delay some time. ”
Ifu soothed Wild, his head bowed, tearing open the most painful wound in his heart, and speaking to her, Ifu heard his voice tremble, but still trying to add a touch of relief. "Look, I'm not back alive now, isn't that the one I met in the suburbs that day also a priest of the Underworld?" asked Ifu, tilting his head.
"Yes. Wild informed Ifu of the information about Depp, "I'm sorry... I'm really afraid that you're trying too much to find the truth and putting yourself in danger, I'm selfish... Can't stand the second blow. Ifu handed his little finger to Wild, "I'm sorry too... I promise you that you won't be so reckless in the future!" Wilder didn't quite understand Ifu's behavior, Ifu said that it was something she had learned over the years, and people would make promises in this way, and Wilder smiled and handed her the little finger to her, disgusting that Ifu was naïve.
After Wilde left, Yi Fu lay on the bed and thought about what she had done recently, feeling as if she was a little different from her previous personality, only a little more than a month later, why was she so impetuous... Ifu sat up, using the Blood Curse to calm her mind, she gave up her illusions about the vast world for a while, and decided to stay in Bukrandu for the first time and improve her abilities.
At this moment, different girls are living their own and completely different lives.
The girl in the Moon City pushed open the window of the bedroom on the second floor and looked in the direction of Bukland, even though it was not visible here. A blonde hair was naturally scattered, and he was holding a letter in his hand, which was the letter he ordered to be sent to his home that day, the girl sighed, obviously she had only met once, why she could never forget his aqua blue eyes... In the days when she returned home, she always thought of him, and the family thought that she was just frightened, and did not interfere with her too much under the comfort and love.
But she is destined to be a passerby in his life, not only the gap in life and the restrictions of the two races, even without these, she is about to get married... She had always thought that she was in love with her current fiancé, but why was she so upset in her heart now? What was this feeling of joy and a hint of wanting to cry when she thought about it?
Obviously she didn't know anything about him, but a hint of inferiority mixed with his gentleness and modesty attracted her deeply, and she longed to stay by her side, even if it was just to watch quietly.
The girl sighed again, "I think I'm crazy. ”
Moon City, inside a small wooden building outside the city.
This is a traditional Huadai style town - Moss Town, this kind of town in the moon city is innumerable, the town is full of small two-storey buildings, most of the residents here will use the first floor as their own shop, for daily survival, and the second floor is the living room, kitchen and dining room, in addition to a small basement, used as a warehouse.
And this cottage is also the same on the surface, the garden is planted with flowers, and the exterior and shop are decorated with flowers on weekdays, and the flowers in Tsukiseong are difficult to wither and wither, so such beautiful things will be taken out to decorate everything. There is a wooden sign hanging on the door of the shop - between the cornflowers, and the wooden sign is also hung with two cornflowers as decoration, this is a story shop that is only open in the afternoon, and it is closed on rainy days, at first the residents are very concerned, such a shop is difficult to make a living, but after seeing the vegetables and fruits grown in the backyard of the houseowner, they understand that the owner of the house is not interested in business, but just lives here in the way he likes.
There is also a small but clean basement between the cornflowers, where a huge bookshelf looks very heavy, and there are all kinds of letters in the bookshelf, containing every story sold among the cornflowers. And the story obtained, at first glance, the ordinary basement has an ingenious mechanism, insert a cornflower into the small hole in the second drawer at the bottom left of the bookshelf, and then insert a special key into the drawer and turn it, a magic door will appear in the basement, and after pushing the door, there is a more spacious place - between the real cornflowers, which is also the headquarters of the most mysterious intelligence organization "Wild Rose" in the moon region.
The woman walked among the cornflowers, and the dove of peace, standing on the beam of the house, holding an olive leaf, spoke—
"Welcome home, Lord Bavar Lily. ”
The woman smiled and nodded, and entered the inner room.
The light was dim, only the light of the stove shone on the room, and the woman sat on the sofa by the fire, "Oh, beautiful lady, why are you sitting here alone tonight?" A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and she didn't need to look to know that it was the woman of the Handai tribe with short blond hair and blue eyes.
"Ah, of course, I came here to meet the lady of my dreams. The woman held her chin with her hand and played with the taste.
"Hmph, sure enough, the red is the worst. The short-haired girl crossed her waist, and the woman who was called red stood up, "It's rare that the two of us meet here, Ricles, since you're here, everyone must know the news." Hearing this, the woman who was called Rickes quieted down, and a thousand sorrows welled up in her heart, it was the person they had been waiting for for many years, Ricos had a trace of tears in her eyes, "Yes, she is finally back... But when will we see her?"
Red stepped forward to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I believe we will see each other eventually, but before that, we have to work harder and be more cautious." Richards echoed, "Charlie has been here just now, and she will be keeping an eye on Count Capet herself lately. Red seemed to be thinking about something, but did not answer. "Is there anything wrong with this, Red?" asked Ricles. "No... It's just that I recently got some new information in the ancient temple of Kashgar, and I'll sort it out later, have you received anything in the past few days?"
Riks shook her head, "I didn't, but yesterday Iseti said that there was some movement on the side of the Black Church, and it seems that she learned about Bukrandu." Hearing the three words of the Black Church, Hong's brows furrowed again, "If the Black Church knows that Ni Xia is back, it will definitely take action" Red was silent and walked around the sofa, "Over there in Bukland, Wildni will definitely strengthen the guard, let's focus more on the villages and towns at the junction of Yuecheng, Fusairuo and Bukrandu, and inform Xia Li that there is time to go over there to check whether the spar that interferes with the teleportation magic is damaged." "Now they are no longer weak and powerless when they were young, and they have to be protected everywhere, but when it comes to the Black Church, Red's heart, or the hearts of the entire Wild Rose members, will be mentioned in their entirety, sixteen years ago they were powerless to do anything, but sixteen years later, she will never allow that to happen again.
On the way to Bukrandu, the village of Kamiin.
The first village to pass through from the border to Bukrandu is Shenyin Village, where the villagers survive on Shenyin Lake, and once planted a lot of vegetables and fruits that are sought after by the residents of Moon City, so that this place also lives a life away from the hustle and bustle but rich, until the Black Church seized the Forest of Fusayruo and exploited Shenyin Village by the way, few people come here, and now the villagers live in fear every day.
A short-haired woman with her subordinates was in the middle of the village, with short desert hair, orange eyes, and a few magic lines on her cheeks, this was the most frightening for Shenyin Village, the woman was not tall, wearing an orange-red and black power suit, stepping on a pair of long black combat boots, her face was indifferent and disdainful, and she looked at the person who knelt on the ground with her hands on her chest.
"You untouchables, how many times do you want Lord Sha Hina to say it?! Over the years, you have paid the least, and you have found the most reasons! Lord Sand Hina is still willing to let you live, not only do you not thank the Lord for your kindness, but you are still pushing back here and everywhere!" The strong man held a huge machete in his hand and said fiercely to the villagers.
"Lord Sha Yan, it's not that we don't want to help you! It's really just ordinary people from our village! You need some vegetables and fruits, go up the mountain to dig and chop wood, we will definitely go without saying a word! But you let us dispose of the stones set by Moon City that interfere with some magic, we are really powerless, my son has been forcibly destroyed by your order, and has been devoured! Please, please open the net!" An old man kowtowed to a woman named Sha Yan, and wept bitterly.
Sha Hina glanced at the old man with a contemptuous extension, "Huh?" she almost hummed these two words with her nose, and the man with the machete just now stepped forward with his knife and shouted, "You pariahs have shown me clearly!" Then he cut off the old man's head with a knife, and the surrounding residents all gasped, and some of the people who were weaker in psychology fainted on the spot.
"Grandfather!!!!!" The woman kneeling behind the old man cried and shouted, "Sha Yan, you brute who has no humanity and no reason, you have killed my family one by one over the years, and used our village as a catharsis for your perverted desires, you must die well!" The man with the machete picked up the thin woman and threw it out, and was about to swing the knife to kill the woman, but Sha Yan stopped him. ”
Sha Hina sneered, stepped forward and stepped on the woman's face with her foot, twisted it repeatedly, looked at the villagers who were still kneeling, and asked, "Do you think so too?" The villagers kowtowed one after another, "Don't dare, don't dare! We in Shenyin Village have always respected Lord Sha Hina the most! The spar you want, we will think of another way, and we will definitely get rid of them for you!" Sha Hina only hummed indifferently, and then said to his subordinates, "This woman has rewarded you, don't let me down." Just as she was about to turn to leave, she suddenly showed a terrifying smile that made her heart tremble, "Remember to take it back when you're done with it." ”
Since the Cult seized the Forest of Phossa, in addition to continuing its research on magic and sorcery, it has also expanded its physical forces, and the most powerful and cruel commander among them is the desert daisy - Sand Chick, a Dawn Clan, although she does not want to admit it. Sha Yan has a brutal, radical, and psychologically distorted personality, and has destroyed nearby villages over the years, and even repeatedly stretched out her hand to Moon City, destroyed nearby ruins, and clashed with various escort teams, and in the villages she destroyed, whenever there was a beautiful woman, she snatched it and tortured her to death, and Sha Yan, who lived in the forest since childhood, was extremely agile and could always get away from various dangerous occasions, and her existence caused headaches for all countries.
But in any case, those whose fate was changed sixteen years ago, those who forgot the past, the wheel of fate has begun to turn, heading to a future full of destruction or pain.
