Chapter 394: Petrified

"Whew, it's finally pulled up." Glick and several other people around him set out together, and breathed a sigh of relief after pulling Long Aotian up.

"Are you alright?" He closed the hatch and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the "Second Beast" roaring underneath but couldn't catch up, not the "Sixth Beast" and not rushing in before the airship took off, so it was safe. What's more, even if it is the Sixth Beast, their floating speed is not comparable to that of an airship.

So there is now a sure peace.

His previous resume confirms him.

And the person in front of him seems to be of what kind of human race, but I don't know if it's a cannibal or a fallen ghost? What kind of undead species is it? It looks long or cute, but as for whether it looks good or not according to the humanoid aesthetic... I don't know.

He's a goblin.

It's like seeing a kitten and feeling cute... As for whether this cat is good-looking or not-looking in the eyes of the family... You have to ask the cat to go for this.

"Well, I'm fine, who are you?" Long Aotian looked around and said suspiciously. But if you look inside, there are standing pigs, standing up mice, standing up monkeys... Well, it seems that monkeys can stand up, and it should be said that monkeys who stand up and wear clothes look like humans, and there are foxes that stand up or something...

There is one human word. is a woman with pink hair.

What is he talking about? Why can I understand? Glick was stunned for a moment and blinked: "... We're salvagemen, don't you know? Do you know the lingua franca of the floating island? "Is it the local dialect spoken now? As he spoke, he glanced at Nigolan, could this guy's words tell what race this person was?

Nigolan shook her head, saying she didn't know, but one thing that could be verified was that this person might have something like a language amulet on his body, so the language was okay or something.

"No, I don't know what a salvage is." If it was before, the current Long Aotian is expected to directly use the "Gate of Heaven" webpage to spy on it, but now there is no need for this. You don't need to be so Kongyin, just take your time: "As for what the lingua franca of the floating island you speak, I really don't know. ”

Wow –

In an instant, the originally quiet shipyard was noisy.

I don't know the salvage, I don't know the lingua franca of the floating island, who is this guy...

Nigolan was silent, took a deep breath, and said in the middle of the noise of others, "You... Is it human? ”

The odds are low, humanity perished five hundred years ago, but... This man noticed the earth, looked at the beast with his eyes and didn't care, didn't know the salvage, didn't know what the lingua franca of the floating island was, and... The breath on his body is different from the breath of life he has encountered, so... The possibility of being a human is not zero, but there is one thing that makes people care, his taste is not the same as that of a petrified person...

If both of them are human, why would it taste? Is it because human beings have many tastes? I see, it makes sense, it makes sense that his race is called "cannibals", if everyone in the human race has a different breath, maybe the cannibals will want to taste fresh... Whatever.

And now, right on their airship, there's a guy who's not human... Now it is slowly eliminating the petrification on the body.

If, like this petrified person, this person was sealed in some similar way in the past, and it is only now unraveled, then there is a possibility that this is the case.

But maybe it's a little too coincidental... A race that has been wiped out for five hundred years perceives two in one day?

"Humans? No way... Humanity has long beenβ€”"

"Of course, aren't you human?"

The words of Glick and Long Aotian sounded at the same time... Glick was stunned for a moment, and the last three words came out of his mouth: "Perish..."

"Huh? I see, the human race of this world has perished... So, you're not human, are you? It's a similar race. Long Aotian nodded: "Well, these things are not important, if there is anything, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" ”

"Oh... Well. Come over here. Glick said, glancing at Nigolan. Now this... What's going on?

The people who were rescued were humans? And that's not all... What's going on with his attitude... Such as... I don't care, the human race exists or is destroyed ordinary...

Isn't it normal to ask what happened?

"Are you really human?"

"Do all humans look like you?"

Along the way, the various animals that stood up and walked on two feet asked all kinds of questions as they led the way, but most of what was confirmed was curiosity about the existence of the human race... A hint of horror.

After chatting with the people here, Long Aotian also knew the situation at this time.

First of all, the human race of this world became extinct five hundred years ago, by the "beasts" of the earth. And these "beasts" are said to be experiments built by humans with something, and then destroyed the world.

If you put it on the earth, it is clear that scientists have worked out something that they can't grasp, and then they have destroyed the world again and again.

It's not very clear what it is, I don't know if it's so specific, in short, these people are like this and Long Aotian answered.

Then, the surviving human lives in this world were moved to the floating island under the patronage of the Great Sage, and the floating island seems to have been built by the Great Sage.

As for this great sage.

Long Aotian asked, according to the female human in Nigolan, who is actually a man-eater, and sees humans as human beings who exist as food, the great sage is originally a human being, of course, it is the original. At this time, it's the undead species... The same is true of the corpses of the activity.

Therefore, according to the saying, he may be the only one in this world, or the only human being in this world.

Because.

Just before they noticed Long Aotian, they had just noticed a petrified humanoid, and besides, it might as well be a human. If human beings are human beings, then Long Aotian is the only human being, and if he is not human, then Long Aotian is the only human being.

In short, there are any possibilities. You might as well be one of the petrified salvages who didn't know when before.

Anything can happen in a world like this.

At this time, on the floating island, the people who live like humans are called humanoids, which are about the same as the non-levitant species.

Among them, the humanoid race is the kind that is almost invisible to the human race, and the non-levy species refers to the race that has no horns and no hair, well, generally speaking, it refers to the humanoid race. And on a part of the floating island. It is best to have no sign or to cover the appearance,... At this time, there are very few races without levy, and the number of people is also very small, and leisure is discriminated against.

"Well, in most cases, it's okay." The airships will arrive at the floating island about the next day, and the place they are going to is Island 28. On the floating island may be very peaceful, except... I don't know when I might notice the Sixth Beast.

However, I don't know when I will notice it, but if I do, before I realize it, there will be a prophecy that will be made, and in the course of days, months, or even years, which island will be attacked, I heard that it is a traditional magic.

How to say it, to say so much to a person who doesn't know if he can trust it, these people also have a bit of a problem with their brains...

Or maybe it's a little inconsequential...

It's like if you ask a person what the earth is and what it is, and he can name a bunch of nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, etc... But,It's useless to know.,Although it's a short-term and long-term weapon.,But it's actually a rotten street.,Find a three-year-old child at random and ask about things that you might know.。

What is really important may not be inconspicuous, but it is actually very important, such as... What are the weapons used to parry those beasts...

It's easy to see that.

At this time, the clever creatures can parry the beast, otherwise, no matter how many floating islands there are in the sky, it is a matter of time before they are defeated.

But... These salvage teams have not fused such weapons at all, and if they encounter a beast, they can only flee immediately, which means that these weapons are very important, and they cannot be used normally, so it is already the limit to protect the floating island.

And, judging from their speeches, there are things like magic in this world, but these people are weak to death, and the weapons they use are all scientific and technological weapons such as a few firearms, no... Roughly speaking, it looks like technology, but it actually has magic weapons. The rest is gone.

And for the sake of the words... I heard that there are many people among human beings who can use all kinds of magic, but when it comes to these animals who stand up, it is the least common, and it is a level that almost never sees one in a lifetime.

Maybe it's because of this that they can live until this point, those beasts first picked the sharp races to destroy them, and then these weakened races took advantage of the gap and ran away... And the strong race was quickly eliminated because it was at the front. It didn't even last until the construction of the floating island was completed.

According to their words, human beings, one of the strongest races in the world at that time, were wiped out by the Seventeen Beasts in just a few days. As for the specific situation, I don't know.

......

"Oh, is he a human?"

In this case, it does look like a human being.

Long Aotian looked at the person who was petrified on a bed and said.

"Well, this petrification can be unlocked if you deal with the bento, but, of course, not here, you need to go back to the floating island, and you should be able to confirm his identity at that time. Not at this time. Nigolan said and swallowed vaguely and spitted, then looked at Long Aotian and wiped his saliva with his back...

I really want to... Take a bite. What would it be like to be human? I'm curious...

No, no, I don't think about it anymore, I can't help but think about it like this...

"Is it because you're not feeling well? Miss Nigolan? ”

"No, no, no," Nigolan swallowed and spat, "... Will you let me take a bite of you? An arm... No! Just one finger! ”

"Find someone else."

Long Aotian pushed away Nigolan's skull leaning over and said.

"No...... I've eaten them all. But the only human thing I haven't eaten... How about giving me a taste of humanity? ”

"Have you eaten it all?" Long Aotian was a little surprised, not to mention that he couldn't see it at all, but thinking about it, Long Aotian pointed to the petrified person lying on the bed and said, "When you wake up, you go eat him, don't come to me, I don't have a hobby in this area." ”

"Hmm... It's a shame to say that..."Nigolan gritted her teeth, but she didn't say she had to eat or pounce on her..."And he's still petrified... It may not be possible to unravel it victoriously... Although if I die, I can eat it..."

There are various funerals after people die in this world, among which there is a "ghost burial", which means to be eaten by a ghost, which is almost the same thing.

But, in fact, he hasn't been included a few times, and he doesn't have a hobby in this area. But even so, people who have eaten many races are... Well, is it a cannibal?

β€œ... You're a human, so if you go to the floating island, you shouldn't have a place to live, right? I don't have any money on hand either... Do you need me to explain something to you? It's a nice thing, I'm actually working right now, with food and lodging, and the salary is very high! ”

"No, forget it." Long Aotian shook his head: "I can figure out a way to coin and where to live, so why don't you teach me the lingua franca of this world?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes...", but, what's going on... I always feel that something is wrong with this person.

In the middle of the next day, in addition to resting, Long Aotian also learned about the brush and ink system of this world at other times.

The journey was safe and sound, and the airship quickly arrived at the top of the floating island. The unknown petrified young man was taken away, and when he heard that he was going to purge his petrification, Long Aotian also followed, to be specific, to confirm his identity. In any case, Long Aotian's identity is indeed a little strange.

He didn't leave anything, this time he followed at least once, and walked the French style.

However, it was also the easiest, without asking him anything superfluous, after confirming his human identity, he sent him something similar to an identity verification and it was over, without asking at all if he knew how the human race perished and what it meant to be, as if he didn't care about the ordinary.

Generally speaking, according to their thoughts, Long Aotian should be the one who has been sealed for five hundred years. Normally, he would have asked, and Long Aotian had already thought of ways to fool the past, but as a result, there was no point in asking at all, which really surprised Long Aotian.

It seems that at this time, the top of this world should know what happened exactly five hundred years ago, and even know it very clearly. It's so clear that I feel that "no one knows more than myself, so no one has the need to ask... So. ”

Well, it's not that much to care about. If you go to the world and secretly investigate everything in this world, it will be really endless.

Isn't it inconvenient to destroy one or two worlds? Not a big deal, right? There is no need to investigate such a trivial matter.

But, he also did not have a clear purpose in reaching this world, about saying... In the future, there are fewer and fewer sightseeing with a clear purpose... It's more about sightseeing like this at this time. The rapid development to the back side will also be slower and slower. can only rely on a long time to survive, although the promotion is sluggish, but the time is the longest, in general, there is no need to rush.

,It's just that I can't break through to the true immortal in a short period of time, so I accept my fate... Although I still want to break through to the level, it is not so urgent.

Although it may not be in line with his personality to say this, it is also a matter of course. Time, that's what it usually is. Even if you ignore time, you just ignore the passage of time and can manipulate time at will.

However, the time that has passed is getting longer and longer, and no matter who will be converted, there is no conversion, but it is just that the time passed is not long enough.

The petrification on the unnamed man's body disappeared first at a rate visible to the naked eye, revealing his body, and the original petrified wound was also bleeding outward first. It looks like this man must have been in some kind of fierce war before he was petrified.

And thenβ€”just after he pulled off his clothes, the guy woke up.

Struggling and yelling at something...

Well... I feel like he might be able to calm down if he replaces the lizards and rats that stand up with human servants... Of course, this is just a guess, and there is nothing to worry about.

"Well, I'll go and stay for a while, call me when he has something to say, entrust, I'm most curious about this guy."

"This thing... His healing may not be victorious..."Grek looked at Long Aotian and said, "That guy's body is already like that, and... At this time, it seems that he has not yet been healed, and his words are not good..."

"No, he seems to understand what you're saying."

"Huh?" Glick was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it?" When did the talisman of language first rot on the streets? Or is this one for each of you humans? Glick stood up and looked back at the middle of the dead room, which was gradually quiet, and the people who were not struggling said with a little surprise.

"Who knows, when he wakes up, you ask him."

Glick looked at Long Aotian who was leaving, and set his eyes on Nigolan who was staring at the human man in the middle of the room... This guy... Worried? No...

Looking at Nigolan who wiped the corners of his mouth, Glick's eyelids jumped slightly, and he couldn't help but move his position to his side.

This guy... You don't think about the quality of the human flesh inside, right?

"Huh? Glick. Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"No... It's okay, nothing. Yes... By the way, humans are really a sharp race... No matter who you are, you have a talisman that can understand the language, and besides, these two people are, and they look very sharp... Really, how did such a human being become extinct? ”

"This one... After he is healed, he can ask, and maybe he will know. Is he a human being?"

"Ahh Even though a guy is too, he won't say anything, he doesn't know anything at all. I can't stand it, and the more I do it, the more curious I become. ”

After that, a few days passed, and the man recovered a little and was ready to hold a talk. This unknown human man did possess the ability to speak language, but he had a rune in this regard, which he wore as a necklace around his neck.

This person has been greatly injured, his bones are cracked, and his internal organs have almost stopped, and if he is placed on a mortal, he will not be able to survive if he is not moved, and he will almost die in the past few seconds.

But on this person, although it is still an irreparable injury, it does not affect his luck. Of course, the so-called irreversibility refers to the degree of medical treatment related to this world, and there is no reference price for Long Aotian.

......

"Hello, how are your injuries?" Glick waved his hand at the man and said something was wrong.

"Ah, it's okay, it's not a big deal. ... Glick? Right? (Glick nodded, and then the man continued) I heard that you saved me, thank you. I didn't expect it to be like this, and I could still survive. ”

"Well, is it..."Glick nodded, "By the way, this person's name is Nigolan, and it's a... Ah, forget it, anyway, he worked hard to take care of your life in the next few days. ”

"Please take care of me." Nigolan said with a smile.

Glick's gums are a little cold, what do you ask him to say? Let a man-eater look after a human who is almost unable to turn... I can't say it, but it's also something I can't help it! He can't help it, and. Well, Nigolan is also his friend, and it would be nice if it could get better. Nigolan eats people and everything, it's all for fun... About...

"This is called Long Aotian, um... Just like you, you're human. ”

"Well, I've heard the doctor tell me... Hello, Greek, Nigolan, Long Aotian. My name is William, William Kmeixiu. Please advise me in the future. ”

"Hello, Gric, Nigolan, Long Aotian. My name is William, William Kmeixiu. Please advise me in the future. The man named William recommended himself.

Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were empty and empty.

Although he looked at the three of them, he was actually at a loss, as if he didn't look at anything ordinary, the ordinary eyes of a dead person.

β€œ... You've probably heard of it. The fact that humanity has perished. Glick looked at William for a moment of silence, and said with a little uncertainty.

"Ah, I know, this is five hundred years later, and the human race has perished, and I, there is Long Aotian, that is, the human race after the short and long time... That's it, right? William still said calmly in a tone without any bumps.

"Uh... Ah, that's right... That's it. Glick scratched his bald head with two little horns, and he didn't know what to do.

What to ask at this time... Wouldn't it seem a little... Isn't that good?

Although, after knowing the past 500 years, he didn't cry or make a fuss, just lay quietly somewhere, but that's what worries people... At this time, this human gave him the feeling as if he had died somewhere. It's not good to go on like this...

"Well, I'll be blunt." Although Grek was silent, Long Aotian didn't care: "Do you know how humans were destroyed? ”

"No, I don't know." William shook his head: "When I was petrified, humans were still alive... Even the information was obtained from you, what, what did the human race destroy by the seventeen beasts... I don't know the specifics. ”

William also heard this from the mouth of the doctor who healed him.

Looking at the hanging bottle hanging aside, William's eyes were slightly empty. He didn't know how humanity had perished... Human beings are often a strong race in the short and long term, and even if they fight with all races at the same time, they will not lose a strong existence.

But, humanity perished.

Actually, it's all good. He didn't care, he didn't care, he didn't want to find out what was going on. But...

Gone... Companions. All of my companions are dead at this point.

Contains Lilia, there is Elmelia... Friends from the orphanage... All are dead. I made an appointment to meet and return, but at this time... Is it the point of having fallen through and returning... My friends are all dead.

So... Why are you still alive? What is the meaning of being alive?

"Really... Well, forget it, then I'll go first. ”

"Huh? Don't stay for a while? Nigolan looked at Long Aotian and said suspiciously.

"Well, I wanted to see if this so-called last human would know anything funny, but it doesn't seem to be the case at this time. Moreover, that guy's heart is dead, right? It's really boring, I might as well go and see what the world looks like at this time, it seems to be pretty good. ”

"Hah! No way. Glick stood up, looked at William, sighed, and said, "Hey! You kid won't die so soon, you still owe medical bills and haven't paid it back! ”

"Huh? Medical expenses? William was stunned for a moment.

"Ahh I've got you out of the petrochemical potion but it's expensive! That's a lot of money, even if you don't want to live, you have to pay back the medical expenses, right? Otherwise, the doctor who saved you will be sad. ”

"Hmm... I know, I'll pay for the medical bills. ”

Nigolan glanced at Glick without speaking, he remembered... Glick has already given the medical expenses or something... Sure enough, this guy.

"I'll take a look at Long Aotian, I'll leave it to you here."

"Ahh If a woman is a woman, there should be some topics together, right? ”

......

"So, let's take a look at the situation on this island first..."

Is this island the twenty-eighth at this time?

Well, I don't know what stories will happen in this world, but if you walk around, you can meet something funny one day. Well, it would be bad if I missed it...

At this time, I don't have the ability to "roll back".
