Chapter 33: The Labyrinth Forest
"For the sake of the Cangwu Continent?" Ou Ci sneered: "Is it just your current ability?"
"I know that my current skills may not be enough, but I still have to go, men live in the world, they have to do something!"
Ou Ci smiled, and then was silent for a long time.
"In the backyard of the Nine Dancing Knight Academy, there is a labyrinth forest, and at the other end of that forest is the "bloodline origin" of our Cangwu Continent, I put it there many years ago, if you have the ability, you can get it back yourself. ”
Nick listened, thanked him, and then pulled Bai Yin and Mei Niang to leave, and the little boy frowned.
Will this old man hand over this thing so easily? Sun Ran's set of heads will definitely not harm the nicked heart, but because of this, he will obstruct it in every possible way.
"Nicking. The little boy shouted.
Nick turned his head and asked with a questioning look, "What's wrong?"
"Leave Mei Niang and Bai Yin here, the two of us can go and get the treasure, the two women will always need to be taken care of on the road, and we don't know how dangerous the labyrinth forest is, in case of a mistake, it will be troublesome." The little boy said.
"Do you want to make a mark on the road!" Since the identity of the little boy was exposed, Bai Yin was suspicious of him in every way, and when he heard him say this, he shouted loudly.
"Bai Yin!" Nick said hurriedly.
"What the little boy said makes sense, if you two continue to follow us to the forest, I will definitely be distracted to protect you, but it will be more dangerous, it is better to be here, with Principal Ou Ci here, I can rest assured of your safety. ”
"But!" said Bai Yin again.
"Just listen to the ...... of the son of the nick," Mei Niang said on the side, gently pulling the corner of Bai Yin's clothes.
Bai Yin looked back at Mei Niang, and had to say sullenly: "Okay......"
Nick mentioned the way of heaven and went with the little boy.
"I can't think of it...... The little doll at the beginning has grown so big......" After the two left, Ou Ci asked the two to sit down and wait, chatting with them about family life.
After walking out of the courtyard building, the little boy has not said a word.
Seeing that the little boy didn't speak, the nick didn't say anything, until according to Ou Ci, he came to the backyard of the Nine Dancing Knight Academy, and finally saw a big sign, only to see that it was written on the sign: "Labyrinth Forest, please do not enter." ”
This is the labyrinthine forest, Nick thought.
"Nick ......," the little boy was the first to speak.
"Huh?" said Nick.
"Do you believe me? I'm really different from the people in the Dark Mansion, do you know why I haven't left the City Lord's Mansion for so many years?"
"Why?"
"I grew up in the Dark Mansion since I was a child, and the Dark Mansion is different from the City Lord's Mansion, which is four or five times larger than the City Lord's Mansion, but it is such a big courtyard, and it is indeed the prison of my entire childhood, from birth until I was twelve years old, I have never left that gate. Xiao Gongzi said while recalling: "My father, never allowed me to contact the outside world, my daily life is only eating, cultivating, sleeping, and then cultivating, eating, sleeping, even if the cultivation is not good, I don't even have to eat, the dark mansion is different from the city lord's mansion, unlike those servants and maids, you can talk and laugh with your master, there is a depressing atmosphere, but where is the dark mansion so easy to enter? Those who don't want to continue to stay, none of them escape, except for one person." ”
Nick listened quietly, and didn't interrupt him, after all, it was still early, and the little boy had concealed his identity for so long, he really should give an explanation to himself and everyone in the City Lord's Mansion.
"That man's name was Tianbao, and he was my only playmate for as long as I can remember, and when I was three years old, Tianbao's family was poor and was sent there to make a bite to eat, and Tianbao was two years old at that time. ”
"Because I'm a year older than him, I've always treated him as a younger brother, and in private, he always calls me Brother Xiaoyu...... But everything changed when I was 12 years old. That year, when he was eleven years old, he told me for the first time that he didn't like this place, in fact, it wasn't just him, everyone didn't like this place, but they were helpless, and he just said what was in everyone's hearts, and I was just quietly comforting him. ”
"Three days later, in the evening, he appeared in front of me with a big package on his back and said to me, Brother Xiaoyu, I want to leave, I will run out of the back door tonight. Naturally, I wouldn't tell him, and even helped him, but I really didn't expect it, but it hurt him......" As he spoke, the little boy seemed to recall something particularly painful.
"He showed me that in his package there was a small windmill that I had given him when I was six years old, and that he would keep it and put it in the door of the place where he would live in the future. So I gave him a lookout, and he climbed out of the wall in the backyard, and when I saw him leave, I didn't feel sad about losing my friend, but more happy for him, because he could finally live the life he wanted, but ...... But the next day......" said the little boy, and tears flowed down his eyes.
"The next day in front of the door of the dark mansion, Tianbao was hung on the highest place, covered with scars, obviously endured countless tortures before he died, his mouth was open, as if shouting: "Brother Xiaoyu, why don't you stop me?" ”
"I killed him, I killed my only childhood friend, and since then, I haven't spoken to anyone, and I've been practicing all day, looking forward to getting out of there one day. ”
"At the age of thirteen, I participated in the Knight Academy assessment of our Dark Mansion and became a Silver Casting Knight, yes, I didn't participate in the White Knight Assessment, but I still passed it directly. I thought it could be over, but I didn't expect that everything was just the beginning. ”
"My father noticed that I was not gifted and treated me more harshly, so as to stimulate my potential, and just like that, another three years passed, and in these three years, I had a very good time, and I had to practice swordsmanship while eating. In this way, at the age of sixteen, I passed the glass knight assessment and became the youngest glass knight in the dark mansion. ”
"On that day, my father threw a feast to celebrate, and the most prominent figures in the Dark Mansion came, and it was also on that day that I finally had the opportunity to escape from that demon cave. I didn't go far, and the Praetorian Guards of the Dark Mansion chased after me, but I still escaped with difficulty, my father was furious when he heard the news, and sent people to arrest me every day, but none of them succeeded, until now, maybe my father has more important things to do, so he didn't care about me for the time being, and I said this, just to tell you...... You, Bai Yin, Mei Niang, and even Bai Ze, Madame Bai, and those servants who have passed away, I really regard you as friends. ”
The little boy said a lot, and the nick has been listening quietly, and he can't imagine that the little boy who seems to be prominent has so many stories and such a tragic childhood, and he can't help but sigh.
"Nick, I believe in you, and I believe in myself, we will become the most famous knight on this continent, my talent, your tenacity, this will be our best weapon. ”
"I believe in you, and I believe in us. Nick was silent for a long time and said.
As the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the labyrinth forest together.
Labyrinth Forest, just by listening to the name, you can know, this forest is a labyrinth, of course, don't think that you can cut down trees, because maybe when your internal strength is exhausted, you have lost your way, and the only way is to find the right way from that huge labyrinth.
As soon as the two of them walked into the forest, there were two roads on the left and right.
One is written for life, and the other is written for death.
Looking at the two signs, Nick asked, "Where are you going?"
"This is just a trick, no one knows what life and death are, I think, maybe this life is death, just to confuse others, we will take this dead end!"
"These two roads ......," Nick carefully looked at the sign.
"Boy, don't hesitate, as you think, this sign is obviously just plugged in, it seems to be guiding you, although the old man just now was mean, he really had no malicious intent, he must not want to hurt you, but it is better to say that he wants you to suffer more. In his mind, the voice of the Heavenly Dao echoed.
After listening to the words of Tiandao, the nick finally found something wrong, just now he had always felt that these two brands were a little weird, but he couldn't say it, and it was broken by Tiandao a little, and it was indeed a sudden realization.
"Little boy, look at this brand, it has not been long since it was obviously carved, and even the internal force mark on it has not yet dissipated, the position where the wooden stick is inserted, and the soil below is also fresh, which seems to be guiding us, do you feel the residual internal force on this brand, do you have a familiar feeling?"
The little boy frowned and walked over, stretched out his hand and stroked the new word, and said, "Ou Ci's internal force!"
Nick smiled: "Sure enough, that Ou Ci didn't want us to die here, so he set up this sign here." Let's go along this path of life and see what the mystery is. ”
As he spoke, they walked forward together.
"This forest...... Why don't I go up there and see where I'm going? After a turn, they saw two forks in the road, and neither of them knew where to go, and there were no signs in front of the forks.
The little boy jumped and flew up on a stout ancient tree.
I saw him look at it, and from time to time he stretched out his finger and drew on the sleeve of his clothes, and sometimes shook his head before continuing to look.
"How's it going?" called out the nick below.
The little boy jumped down after a while, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "This ...... Every road in this labyrinth forest is a dead end!"
