Chapter 17: 'The Past'

"Your Highness Mo, you seem to know a lot about the things in the world......

Faced with this sudden question, Mo paused, then put down the teacup, thought about it, and then said: "This is actually nothing, just because I accepted various commissions in the past and walked in all directions, so I know a little about the situation in all parts of the world." ”

Yuyuko on the other side nodded, and the two were silent for a while, and then Yuyuko raised her head again, "Then where have you been?" ”

Mo was stunned, and looked at the other party's pink eyes, the look that flowed in it was complicated and difficult to understand, was it yearning, curiosity, or just a casual question, and it didn't mean much......

Finally, Mo pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly and said, "If you are interested, why don't I tell you about the places I have been to and the stories I have encountered, what do you think?" ”

The other party's pink eyes lit up obviously, and even the movements in his hands stopped unconsciously, as if he was looking forward to it, "Is this really okay?" ”

Seeing this, not only did the slightest ripple appear in the bottom of Mo's heart. The other party looks like this...... It seems that I can't be too perfunctory in the future......

"Of course you can, it's better to say that you are willing to listen to me nag about these old things, I should say thank you......"

Mo lowered his head and pondered for a while, before he raised his head again and said slowly: "Then let's start with the first time I went out with my father to accept the commission of exorcism when I was ten years old......

"It was a very memorable experience, and even now, I can clearly remember everything that happened in that castle, the people, the things, and the monster called 'Spider Building'......"

The night is shrouded, the silver light is sprinkled, and the autumn breeze blows gently, and the red leaves slowly fall from the canopy and spread out in all directions of the courtyard. In this quiet courtyard, one person began to slowly recount the past, while the other listened carefully, silent......

……

"In the end, the man died by my sword. He should have understood that this would be the result, but he chose to draw a knife at me. Perhaps, this death was originally the result he wanted...... In order to go to another world, to pursue the 'man' that he has always been attached to in his heart......"

Before you know it, time passes. By the time Mo told this 'story' to the end, the food box on the table was already empty......

After listening to Mo's words, the figure sitting opposite was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "Your Highness Mo, you just said that the monster named 'Spider Building' finally hesitated when he kidnapped that person, so he couldn't drag that person to be buried with him before he died, right......?"

"Well, that's true. It's a shame to say that I didn't practice enough at that time, and I wasn't sure enough to kill her before the other party could make a move. If it weren't for the fact that her movements finally stopped, I'm afraid ......"

Yuyuko shook her head, "If you say anything, how can I blame you for this." If you had allowed the other party to escape like that, I am afraid that more people would have been murdered, and at that time, you had no choice but to ......"

The pink eyes clearly reflected the black figure in front of him, and Yuyuko slowly spoke: "Your Highness Mo, why do you think the other party will 'hesitate' at the last moment of life and death......"

Mo paused, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I don't know, and it's hard to say, but I think, perhaps...... Maybe the monster named 'Spider Building' was once a 'human' for a while......"

"And that's probably the first time I've stained the blood of a 'human' with my own hands......"

Yuyuko looked at the figure in front of her silently, half ringing and didn't know how to respond, and finally, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry ......"

Mo was stunned, then shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, you don't need to mind." This was my own choice, my own will, and I have never regretted it. Just ......"

"It's just that whenever I think back on it...... Whether 'Yamada' became 'Spider' or 'Spider' became 'Yamada', I sometimes can't help but wonder if it'......"

"......", looking at the frankly unrepentant figure in front of her, Yuyuko opened her mouth slightly, but finally returned to silence.

Mo raised his head, looked at the night sky, and then stood up and said, "The night is dark, so I'll take my leave here." Since you're interested in this, I'll talk to you more about it in the future, if you don't bother me......"

"How come, I ......", Yuyuko quickly shook her head, then paused, stood up, and said with a slight salute: "Then there will be a lot of disturbances from now on." ”

"Each other, each other."

……

Time flies, and in an instant, a day and a night have passed. It's still the familiar courtyard, it's still the two figures, the difference is that this time the two are no longer relatively silent. Rather, one is telling, the other is listening, and every now and then, another figure will interject a sentence and ask a question or two:

"So, this time, let's talk about the experience of walking independently for the first time and going out to accept commissions, that time, I went to a small town in Xifu......"

"Uh-huh......"

"It's a place with four seasons and picturesque scenery, and it's really a beautiful sight in the world. But there's a strange custom......"

"Wait, you said that 'monster' actually has three heads and six arms?"

"What's more, that monster is ......"

"That was my first trip to the northern country, the magnificent scenery of thousands of miles of ice and snow, even I, when I saw it for the first time, I couldn't help but be taken by it......

"And then, are there really houses or even towns made of ice?"

"That's right, when I saw it for the first time, I couldn't help but marvel at it, the house ......"

"That's nice, if you have the chance...... No, no...... Nothing, you continue to ......"

"The last time I talked about my trip to the south, I saw those mountain people living in the jungle. Then this time I will continue to talk about the legendary merman clan that I accidentally encountered after that, and the 'Crystal Palace', which is also famous among human beings......"

"'Crystal Palace'? Could it be the 'Crystal Palace' where the legendary Dragon King lives? ”

"No, no, it's not, that's ......"

“……”

“…”

Day after day, night after night, the 'story' continues, and time is passing, and before you know it, the autumn mood is getting cooler and cooler......

…… To be continued......
