Chapter 153: Fifteen Days at Sea (28)
On the evening of January 14, on an island deep in Nilverheim.
Because there was still a fragile human on the claws, Alduin didn't fly too fast, so it took dozens of hours for the two of them to come over.
Despite this, Mu Yan still felt that he was about to be blown stupid. His magic had been depleted four hours earlier by maintaining the windbreak barrier, and his robes had been destroyed. The moment Alduin's claws reached out, this high-quality robe triggered the most powerful counterattack, but it didn't even rub off a layer of skin on the opponent's claws, and then it was torn out, and the magic lines on it were also damaged.
He was honored to become a "streaking clan" again.
Stepping on the black, ice-stained earth, Mu Yan watched Alduin transform from a huge dragon into an emaciated human in a black robe, and it felt extremely unreal.
Along the way, he was figuring out what the other party meant. Ever since he learned about Eric's Script E, he had a similar thought.
As he said, all stories have their reasons and backgrounds, this is not a stage play, just a brushstroke, this is what really happens, any plot will be attributed to the idea of a certain character, it can't be water without a source and a tree without roots.
From the origin of the story, he descended in an abandoned manor near the town of Yeju in the Kansa region.
So the question is, why is he there? Is there anything special about this map?
Yes, for Mu Yan, it is really quite special.
The map of "Dusk Era" is always changing, regardless of whether there are many people or not, there are NPCs and the environment, as well as the historical events that occur around them. But after all, the impact of people on the environment is very small, only the Kansa region was frozen into a snowy field when the "Will of the Dead", that is, the arrival of the level 70 expansion, and all living beings were wiped out, and no grass was born, and no other place had this treatment. Even places like Tranquility Lake, which have experienced the battle of order, are not so miserable.
For Mu Yan, before the Kansa Reform, he was just an ordinary scholar, and after studying in the Manarola area on the southeast coast of Turing, he went to the Morning Star, and he didn't have the opportunity to come here. Later, he became a famous scholar and had the opportunity to travel everywhere, stepping on almost every corner of the map, but by then Kansa had changed.
To sum up, Kansa was the only place in the whole of Lokan that he was not familiar with, or the only thing he knew about Kansa was from the famous copy "Night Town Resentful Soul Flower". This was the most battle report he had read when he was still dreaming of taking risks.
As a scholar, Mu Yan will experience the local customs everywhere he goes, from language to customs, to food and entertainment, and all kinds of cultures, so he is even more precious about local books, even if they are imported products. Suffice it to say, if he had known Kansa beforehand, he would have figured out the ins and outs of every book on the shelves that night at Martin's house, and he would have found that there was something special about that "The Sun of Innocence".
As Eric said, his book simply wouldn't have been possible in the pastor's house in the town next door. In particular, Mora's "Theory of Faith" appeared on the shelves, this kind of Garden thing.
Thinking of the connection between Garden and Leorick, and the connection between Leorick and Alduin, the context of these things suddenly became clear.
From the moment he arrived in the Kanza region, things were out of the control of a legendary scholar, and wherever he could be, as long as it wasn't the giant's lair in the Sulphur Wasteland, or the dragon's cave in Hogarth, he was sure to use his knowledge to gain prestige and leave, rather than being pushed forward as he had done later.
From facing Zayx, to teaming up with Surya to raid the dungeon of Night Town, to the fitting appearance of the book "The Innocent Sun", it was as if someone was behind him, guiding him all the way to the windy firmament.
There is no doubt that this man is Alduin, and he is the only one who has this energy.
Mu Yan can make up everything that happens next:
If things hadn't been stopped in time by Xia Mu in the Wind Firmament, his next stop after leaving there would be the Lake of Tranquility. Filled with guilt for Artes and Mishua, he would go to the aid of the elves against Gardon, after all, he had helped kill the first Duke of Ash, and knew him and his men all the time.
As he said to Hablon, self-confidence blinds people, like a cloud that hangs over their eyes, and they cannot see the truth. He must have been like that at that time.
Next, he will be captured by Isu and Lal and sacrificed to Ikali as a god.
He would then be saved by Alduin, just as he had saved Glazer from the Lord of the Elements.
Then, when he descended on Heru, he would become a slave better than the Glazers, and with a grudge against the old gods, he slowly recalled the song of twilight, and then thought about Alduin's relationship with all this......
With his knowledge, it must not be difficult to find out that Niudra is Alduin, and then feel a sense of pity for this exiled destroyer. At this time, as long as Alduin appeared as a savior, there was no doubt that he would completely fall to the other side.
People are always convinced of the conclusions they have come to through thinking, and the wiser they are, the more so.
And although he caused this incident, but along the way, whether it was moving Ignos out of the dark abyss or suddenly killing Brou on the River Styx, Alduin did not act like an ally, but like someone trying to muddy the waters.
For such a black-bellied dragon, Mu Yan categorically would not believe it all. If he hadn't noticed these very early, he would have been led by the other party by the nose until now, and this time with his help to resolve the crisis, it was the first time he took the initiative.
β¦β¦
Compared with Mu Yan, whose eyes flickered, Alduin, who was wearing a black robe, was much more straightforward.
He stretched out his bony hands, his five fingers like a withered dragon's claws, and his gray nails were very sharp.
He wrote "Dinoksetiid" on the ground, and then looked at Mu Yan.
βMindoraan-Hi-Fin-RotοΌ [How do you understand this word?] γβ
"Can you speak the lingua franca?" Mu Yan asked him.
Alduin was visibly stunned, and after a while, he asked in lingua franca.
"Why?"
Mu Yan pointed to his throat.
"I'm not a dragon, I don't have any organs, and it's hard to make some trills, like a mouthful of phlegm. And you also know that I am a scholar and have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I will subconsciously answer in whatever language the other party asks. β
ββ¦β¦ [Okay. γβ
Alduin was silent for a moment, as if rummaging through a long memory for a lingua franca.
"You know where I'm from." He asked.
Mu Yan nodded.
"I guess you're coming from Twilight Age, or Earth, with me. Anything else, you said an 'olive branch' to Mr. Glazer. As far as I know, neither Lokan nor Heru have this plant, and the allusion comes from the Bible, where it is said that Noah and his wife were stranded on a high mountain after 40 days in the Great Flood on an ark. To find out if the flood waters had receded, he released the pigeon and returned the olive branch. β
"Very good......" Alduin nodded, he seemed pleased with Mu Yan's keen insight.
"Don't you want to say anything more?" Mu Yan asked, "Why are you doing this?" Why did you bring me into this world? β
"There are so many questions, answer them one by one." He said slowly: "I have read the Twilight Chronicles, and there are too many mistakes. β
Mu Yan was shocked in his heart: "You...... How do you see that? β
"On the forum, (about) the 'ahl-Tiid' part, (you) also gave an example, and I liked [that example], but not all of them."
Only then did Mu Yan react, comparing Miya's creation to the analogy of starting a company.
"So, what's all right?"
Alduin was silent, as if remembering what had happened a long time ago, before he spoke again.
"Greed is an innate sin, and gods are no exception."
