Chapter 577: Overlap
The whispers of the magic confusion and the advice of the archwizard left Saja at a loss. The exhaustion of the body exacerbates the resulting confusion, and the will is weakened layer by layer. When she lost the support of her will, weakness rose from the bottom of her heart and gradually overwhelmed her.
Shajia's pace grew slower and slower, until she no longer wanted to move.
The silhouette of the distant mountains is still familiar, but everything around you is becoming more and more unfamiliar. Whenever I am attracted by that familiarity and approach with inexplicable joy, I will be shattered by the oncoming strangeness.
Again and again - again and again......
As night fell, the bonfire rose, and Saja stared at the jumping flames. A hurried and chaotic sound of horses' hooves also sounded at this time, from far and near. When he saw the situation around the campfire, Qi Qi restrained his warhorse.
The woman and the fox, the rumored killer. The sudden encounter put this team of knights in a dilemma. They were just passing by here, and they didn't expect the man to sit on the side of the road. I want to run, but I am afraid of causing misunderstanding and attracting chase.
The leading knight sighed secretly, jumped off his horse and walked slowly to the campfire. He explained: "We were just passing by and didn't know you were resting here. ”
Still staring at the campfire, Saja asked for a long time, "Have any of you seen me?"
"No, but your prestige has spread here. ”
"Prestige?" Saga sighed, "don't do it." ”
The knight was slightly stunned, just because he heard the boredom and helplessness in it. A murderous person would never speak in such a tone.
He relaxed slightly, and said tentatively: "Since you don't want to, then ......"
Sha Jia sneered, "Can't you fight back?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean that. But you are outsiders after all, and we are only protecting our homeland. ”
"You mean to talk about aggression, right?" Saga finally looked up at the other party, "You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth." As a white-robed wizard, you will not anger others because of your truthful statements. ”
The knight gritted his teeth, "Yes, you are a bunch of invaders. ”
Saja thought for a moment, "What if it wasn't, what if I had been the true owner of this place?"
"No way! My family has lived here for generations, for generations. ”
"Generations, how long? hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years? How many years does the oldest person in your family live?" Sha Jia patted the ground, "You must think I'm quibbling, but it's not. There used to be buildings, but when I came back, they weren't there. ”
To Saja's almost dreamlike whisper, the knight plucked up the courage to retort, "You're lying!"
"What if, no?"
Saja's almost nonsense words made the knight angry. In his anger, he finally set his eyes on Saja's face. So on that beautiful face, he saw indescribable vicissitudes, twilight, and sorrow.
After all, the words that he wanted to refute were not spoken, but he asked rhetorically: "What about the evidence?"
"If you really want them, they're at our feet. Dig here and you'll find a lot of evidence. ”
The knight paused for a moment, "Even if it's true, so what? ”
With a long sigh, Saja affirmed, "Yes, you are already the masters of this place. But like you said, so what?"
With the words, the vicissitudes and twilight on Shajia's face slowly dissipated, and she became bright and bright again, youthful and lovely. And then again, he affirmed, "You're right, so what? Some things are in the past, and we just have to look at the present." ”
"You—" The knight was speechless.
"I just fell into a weird dream, thank you for waking me up. While I am one of the invaders, I am not your enemy. The family and the land you want to defend are not my targets.
I also don't care about the outcome of this battle. It was a war between you, and it had nothing to do with me. More specifically, it has nothing to do with us white-robed wizards.
For this war, we are a bunch of neutrals. A word of advice to you, don't get in our way.
Not all of us are as passive as I am, and some of us are also murderous. If you provoke them, it won't be as simple as killing a few inconsequential knights and soldiers. Instead, they will find the people who really command them, and then kill them all.
You're lucky that they didn't land here. But whether it will come or not, I don't know. ”
"You mean, the previous killing was a misunderstanding?"
"It's not all a misunderstanding. From the moment I set foot on this land, I was ready to kill, the difference was only passive and active. We are indeed neutrals, but we also have our own goals.
We are equally reluctant to kill if it serves a purpose, but we do not hurt people for no reason. ”
The knight hesitated, "May I ask you a question?"
"Say it. ”
"Do we have a chance of winning?"
"There are no odds of winning. ”
Looking at the knight's face that changed slightly, Saja continued, "This war is meaningless for both of you, and there will be no real victor.
Being alive should be your primary goal.
You won't understand that now, but when the gods come down on this land, you will understand what I am saying today.
If, you can live to that time. ”
