Chapter 51: The Diary That Has Been Sealed for a Long Time

Previous Chapter

"What?!" Hearing Bruce's words, Bibo almost fell off his chair, but fortunately the breakfast on the table was finished, but the portion left for the old monk was knocked to the ground, and the milk spilled on the crotch of the dwarf's pants, and Bruce screamed and rushed to the pool in the backyard.

"This old fellow!" Bibo was puzzled, last night he helped the old monk carry the idol into the house where he lived, and the people disappeared early in the morning, "Maybe they went to the south in a hurry," the proprietress was still sleepy-eyed, and she quickly cleaned the ground, "These monks, there is a large chapel in the south of the town, and they are always eager to go there one by one!" Thankfully, you didn't pay for it yourself, otherwise I wouldn't know who to ask for his accommodation! ”

"There's no way he's going to move the idol alone," the dwarf said when he got back and sat back at the table, "Forget it, all of these guys are god's nagging anyway!" Bibo shrugged, and wanted to ask the old monk about something, but he was nowhere to be found.

When the streets of the town began to come alive, Captain Dom finally arrived, and when he heard the news that the old monk had left alone, he agreed with the proprietress that "their chapel is simply our trouble," he frowned, and settled the cost of the proprietress with Bibo and her party, "We had to make it a key area, because it was the temple of the god of light, and because they were all supplied by us." "It's a special time!" The proprietress nodded, "In the past, in various villages, the monks would always help the poor. "That's right," the captain of the garrison beckoned to Bibo, "let's go, the mayor is already waiting!" ”

Sunset Town is truly the most prosperous trading area in the west of the continent, even the dwarves can't help but admire the charm of the city, people behind the high walls, it seems that there is not much impact of the war, the vendors are selling in the streets, selling goods from all over the continent, and even other continents, the town's council hall is a dome-shaped white marble building, located next to Sunset Beach, the beautiful garden already has some green, although it is not yet spring, but the sun is warm, Bibo squinted and looked at the endless seaHe turned around and saw a white marble building with the same dome along the coast, on the high ground to the south, which should be the temple, "When you see the mayor, it's best to go find Brother Joey, and I still have something to ask him!" "Well, tsk, I bet," said the dwarf, as he sneered, as he looked at the mayor's chamber before him, "that this fellow will surely go for a walk by the sea after supper with the best red wine, and the servants will carpet him so that the sand will not stumble!" ”

Captain Dom led the way, pushing open the dark brown wooden door of the council chamber, looking back at the dwarf, then shaking his head with a smile, "Don't look at us with your eastern thinking and eyes!" ”

"That's right," the dwarf shrugged, hurrying to follow, "I hope we're in the right place." ”

The hall of the council hall was bustling, there were many soldiers and civilian officials of the garrison who were dealing with work or talking, they saw Bibo and his party, nodded quickly to show politeness, and got busy again, "You know, what we are facing, in addition to the demon crisis in your mouth, there is also the safety of various human villages in the western part of the entire continent, the hateful brotherhood," Captain Dom pointed to the room in the middle of the second floor, "Go, the mayor is there, okay, I'm going to work, hell, I hope it wasn't delayed too long, see you later!" I hope you've come to the right place. ”

Bibo and Bruce waved at Captain Dom and went up to the second floor.

When they knocked on the door, they found that the room, which was not very large, was almost full of books and scrolls, and a strong voice came from the table by the window, "Aha, come on!" Welcome to Sunset Town! Ursul is your best friend! Billo and the dwarves walked through the scattered books and saw the mayor, who nodded in acknowledgement.

"Welcome, welcome!" With a smile on his face, the mayor of Ursul rushed up and hugged Bibo tightly, "Good boy, not bad, very strong!" ”

The short man looked very old, Bibo felt extremely embarrassed, and gently pushed him away, even feeling that if he exerted a little more strength, he was about to fall, Mayor Ursul smiled and retracted his hand, and helped the glasses on his big nose, "I'm sorry, I had to look up some information for your arrival, so I can answer your questions!" With that, he returned to his seat, "Bibo, you're much stronger than I thought!" ”

"Mayor Ursul, right, you, do you know Bibo?" The dwarf's eyes widened and he asked.

"Come on, sit down!" Mayor Mare looked at them with a smile, "Tell me what you need to know first, and then I'm telling you what you want to know." ”

It took an hour for Bibo and Bruce to tell Mayor Ursul about what happened to the eastern part of the continent, including the defense of Rust, the short old man nodded incessantly, still looking at them with a smile, and finally, he shook the bell and asked the servant to bring a few cups of hot tea and refreshments, "Ha, look at me, I'm really old, I don't know how to be hospitable," he said while urging Bibo and the dwarf to drink tea, "I've heard almost everything you said, and there are some details that Sunset Town may do more, For example, the matter of the invasion of our Dao demons, but all we can do is do a good job in our own defense area, as for the orc teleportation point and the orc army, this is a matter of the entire continent......"

"What do you mean?" Bibo put down his teacup, "Isn't it what we should do to work together to repel a strong enemy?" ”

"Take it easy, take it easy, young man!" Mayor Mare continued to smile at him, "The enemy is now, as I, have more considerations, than you know about the Brotherhood, the dead, the soldiers, friends, relatives, they have stood up again, but they have become our enemies, and," he pointed to the sea outside the window that sparkled in the sun, "I bet you never knew from there, what would scare us more, and that's what we in Sunset Town need to face." ”

"So what should we do?" Bibo asked.

"Everything in the world, everything has a cause and an effect," the mayor flipped through a thick notebook in front of him, "I was like you when I was young, I had great ambitions, I traveled all over the continent, I did many things, some things that made my life more honorable, and some things that I am ashamed to remember even now, and finally, I finally understood that all my life, I just wanted to find myself, why was I born in this world, and who am I fighting for?" ”

"I don't quite understand," the dwarf shrugged, "shouldn't we serve the faith?" ”

"There's no right or wrong in everything," Mayor Ursul turned his head to the side, still smiling at Bruce, "Dwarf brothers, do your duty, it's pointless, but it's not a big deal, you'll find the answer eventually." ”

Bruce was about to speak, but Mayor Mare waved his hand and looked back at Bibo, "Alright, back to business, Brother Joey is in the temple to the south, and I didn't believe him at first, but there are some things that I have to think about, so I made a note of some things, and the other day, I remembered, so now you can see me safely." ”

"Yes, I heard Captain Dom say that you dreamed of the god of light......

"Hahaha, pretty much," the old mayor laughed again, "I'm older, and I often mess things up. In my life, I have heard many interesting things, and I have dreamed that one day I can become a hero in the story, but in the end, I realized that everything has been arranged by fate. Many years ago, I settled here, because of the trade I amassed a fortune and also got the position of mayor, and then I knew a man who had also traveled the continent, we were the same age, had many common topics, and had many differences, but that did not prevent us from becoming good friends. Later he helped me with many problems, and I even suspected him of being a magician, but he said nothing about his past, until one time," he tapped on his thick notebook, "he told me something I had to do, and he looked nervous, as if it were a matter of life, and I promised him, though I knew it was absurd, but I believed him, and a few days later he came to me, thanked me, said I had done it, and told me to say the following to you—"

"This? ......" Bibo widened his mouth, and Bruce put down the teacup in his hand.

"I'm sorry I don't have much time," the old mayor said, holding his glasses, "I'm glad you're so healthy, there are many things that I can't really understand, including how this happened, I can't even recall too many details, I can only thank the God of Light for such a surprise arrangement, and I am also deeply grateful for the hope for the future, suffering and suffering will surely usher in light, but it means sacrifice, help this place to get through the difficulties, and then move north." Again, I'm sorry I can't say more, because I can clearly feel the confusion, although I have hope, but I know that there is no chance, anyway, try hard! ”

"That's all," the old mayor sighed, "other than that, I don't want to let go of any details, rummaging through my diary and memories, and finding that nothing of value is mentioned, not even about the demon orcs, of course, he told me some details about the Brotherhood, I can feel the confusion in his thinking, maybe he didn't mean to hide it, but he told me your name anyway." ”

"You, you mean?" Bibo cried out, "Impossible! ”

"Oh my God!" Bruce shouted, "Remember, Bibo, that old friar's story!" ”

"That's right, it's him," the old mayor took off his glasses and rubbed his forehead, "more than ten years ago, he asked me to send someone to meet you yesterday, and then he was buried there, along with the idol he brought back, in the cemetery next to the temple, because of a rare disease. ”

"Impossible, impossible!" Bibo's tears were instantly clear, and he stood up, his body trembling, and he looked at Mayor Ursul and rushed out the door.

"Is there such a thing, is it magic? Can you tear out a rift in time and space? The dwarf muttered to himself.

"That's fate, dwarf brother, go ahead and tell Bibo that the base behind the idol has his words," the old mayor waved at Bruce, "remember to persuade him to come back, after all, the first task we have to solve in Sunset Town is the Brotherhood before he can leave, I have seen the base of the idol more than once." ”
