Chapter 19: The Twilight Chronicles
Mu Yan dreamed that he was in the boundless darkness, and there was no light, so he had no way to tell if he had opened his eyes.
Suddenly, a golden thread appeared in the distance, as if he were trapped in a bag, and someone pulled the bag open, but the thought was fleeting, as wisps of golden light rushed in like a homecoming chick.
The light flew in front of him and converged into a thin booklet.
"What is this?"
Mu Yan felt that it was a little familiar, so he tried to touch it.
"Are you sure you're going to accept this mission?"
A warm voice came from nowhere.
"Who?"
He looked around warily.
The voice sounded like a woman, not hostile, and inexplicably intimate.
"Are you sure you're going to accept this mission?"
The question was not answered, and the other party repeated it.
"What mission?"
"Witness and record."
Mu Yan suddenly felt that where had he heard this sentence? His mind drifted back to the day of the final expansion, The Age of the End.
β¦β¦
He sat in the quiet of the library, spread out a fine piece of paper from Stora Enso, and neatly wrote the words "Year of the New Leaf".
At this moment, a white light flashed, and Principal Wynne appeared.
"Summerβ"
"Tuk tuk", Mu Yan tapped the warning sign on the table with his finger, which read, "Please keep the museum quiet."
Wynne nonchalantly pulled out his wand and waved it a few times, and the warning words on every table in the vast library changed to "Truth comes from discussion."
"You guy......" he reluctantly put down his pen, this group of NPCs is really getting smarter and smarter.
"What are you writing about?" Wynn leaned over curiously, and the cover that Mu Yan had prepared in advance caught his attention.
"The Twilight Chronicles? What a big topic, why not just call it the Lokan Chronicles? β
"Because I didn't experience much of the previous plot of 'Ragnarok', someone taught me that only personal experience is called experience, and I think it makes a lot of sense."
"yes, you were still on the first floor during that time, wiping the table every day and recording the names of visitors......"
"Yes, I have to clean, tidy up the tables and chairs, check the number of books, ......"
Speaking of the years as a librarian, Mu Yan was also quite emotional.
"Speaking of which, it's so wise for you to reject the suggestion of the third prince to open a cat lady coffee house in the library, if the library becomes like that, I will really say goodbye to the morning breeze and go to Jialan." He quipped.
The Jialan Empire, with Morning Star and Turing, is known for its strong magical strength, and the Jialan Academy in its capital has the largest library in Luokan, Mu Yan uses this matter from time to time to tease Huaien, who is the principal of Morrowind, and says to the parents, "Look at other people's children!" Look at yourself again! "Same.
After all, there are so many scholars, and the Legendary Scholar is the only one - whether it is an NPC or a player.
Wynne smiled, he didn't seem willing to spend too much time on the matter.
"Why would you want to write such a book?" He asked.
"Which answer do you want to hear?"
ββ¦β¦ Seriously. β
Mu Yan cleared his throat and said with great solemnity: "This is the mission given to me by Mia, as the so-called 'I come, I witness, I record'. β
"What about the indecent ones?"
Someone suddenly revealed his true form.
"Send a forum to pretend to be forced, and then submit a manuscript to Villefort, ask for authorization, publish a book, and sell it for money!"
ββ¦β¦ I think the latter is more reliable. β
"Of course!"
β¦β¦
"So...... Are you the goddess Mia? Mu Yan's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Is that why I'm here? Yes...... Can you send me back? β
"Lack of authority, need to accept the mission."
Although Mia's voice was still warm, this mechanical answer made him feel sad for no reason, and his nose was sour and almost cried.
Why am I sad? Do you still feel the urge to cry?
He thought back to the feeling just now, like the irrepressible grief when examining the relics of his loved ones.
However, it was imperative to ask about other things, and he didn't have time to think about it.
"In other words, I can go back after completing my mission, right?"
"Lack of authority, need to accept the mission."
"Hey! I don't have the right to know as a consumer? β
"Invalid question."
Yes, it seems that the other party is really a program, and the sadness in his heart is even stronger, this time from the heart.
So Mu Yan had no choice but to accept it.
Isn't it just to finish writing "The Twilight Chronicles", I had this plan in the first place.
He reached out and picked up the thin pamphlet, the familiar title on the cover that made him feel a little nostalgic, but was soon interrupted by a chime.
"Change your status and earn the title of 'Recorder'."
"Privileges are elevated, oracle detection begins to ......"
"Tested!"
"'Recorder,' are you listening to the first chapter prophecy?"
"Yes."
He was curious about what the prophecy was.
β
Prophecy Chapter 1:
The elements screamed, and the bones rattled.
The fog cleared, and dusk fell.
The twin Ouroboros died,
The omen of fate is no longer clear.
ββ
β
"Prophecy detection begins to ......"
"The test failed! Insufficient permissions! β
It seems that the follow-up prophecy will not be heard for the time being, but in the first chapter, the information exposed is enough for him to figure out for a long time.
"Elemental Sorrow" refers to the starting point of the battle of faith, that is, Garden's one-on-two against Lahr and Ysus.
"The rattle of bones" is easy to understand, referring to the resurrection of the former king, the deceased today, King Leorik.
"The fog is gone" and "Dusk is coming" are also very simple, they are the two things that the fog of Hogarth is dispelled by the player, and the twilight of the gods descends.
Only these last two sentences......
The "twin Ouroboros" refers to the two brothers, Patunax and Alduin, but it is difficult to understand the "dead", could it be that these two lived and died together? It shouldn't be, after Odduin finished the final poem, Lao Pa personally sent him to the west sky, and I didn't see him drive to the west together......
Could it be that Alduin is not actually dead?
Mu Yan suddenly felt that this was very possible, because in the last few minutes before the closure, he clearly heard Alduin's voice, and also saw Lao Pa's body rolling in the air...... Could it be that that was also a hint from Mia to herself?
There are still some clues about this sentence, and the last sentence is ......
"The Omen of Fate" may be talking about Kanrosh the Prophet, who is said to be able to travel freely between the past, present, and future, and countless works throughout the ages tell us that most people with this ability will suffer from gains and losses, wandering in tangled thoughts and unable to extricate themselves, becoming a complex existence who "doesn't want to be spoiled but just can't help but want spoilers, and after being spoiled, he has to remind his past self not to like spoilers and be spoiled", and then become crazy.
But as the most mysterious of the old gods, even Mu Yan didn't know much about him.
As if sensing that he was thinking about the end, the warm prompt sound sounded again.
"The 'Recorder' has fully recovered his body, has he withdrawn from the space of consciousness?"
Space of consciousness? A term I've never heard before.
"Yes."
As he made his choice, a sense of familiarity arose.
It's exactly the same as quitting the game!!
That is to say, the so-called consciousness space is exactly the same as the game "Twilight Era"?
Who was Villefort who designed that game? What is their connection to Mia in the world of Lokan?
Countless conjectures came flooding through him, and he didn't even notice that consciousness had returned to his body.
"It's moving! His fingers moved!! β
"What? Awake? β
"Mia bless!!"
β¦β¦
There was a commotion, and as soon as Mu Yan opened his eyes and struggled to sit up, he felt that he was being hugged.
This familiar scent...... Is it Surya?
"Right...... Sorry I'm late...... Sorry ......"
The girl was crying, and her body trembled incessantly.
"It's okay, aren't I alive, surprised or surprised?" He quipped.
But at this time the witty words were obviously of little use, and he had to rub the girl's blonde hair and soothe her like a puppy.
Conscience of heaven and earth! This metaphor is in no way meant to discredit anyone, who has only had the experience and knowledge to pacify animals in his long gaming career, and is so skilled that he has received an invitation to a lecture from Morrowind's Animal Taming Department.
Surya is ...... for him Probably a smart big cat, right? Well, except that this cleverness is debatable.
Looking around, he noticed that almost all the acquaintances in Night Town had come, and everyone had gathered around his bedside.
Looking out the window, it seems like it's all dawning......
"How long did I sleep?" He hurriedly asked.
"You've slept for fourteen hours, and it's the next morning." Sullya still had tears on her eyelashes and her face was red.
Mu Yan couldn't help but reach out and wipe it for her, and suddenly realized that her actions were a little too intimate, but it was not easy to apologize in front of everyone, so she made a mistake.
"Alright, don't worry." He touched the girl's face and comforted her softly: "Our honeymoon will continue, it's not good to cry." β
Only then did Surya remember that the two of them still had nominal false identities, and her face turned even redder.
"That's right, the fourth ring ......"
"It's over, Shamu." "Last night everyone gathered in the square in the center of the town according to your instructions and then ......"
Her voice grew weaker, as if she was too ashamed to speak.
Then I admired the heroic posture of the pair of dogs and men and women. Sam added with a dark face, "I've been telling that woman not to dwell on grief......"
"Are there any children there?" Mu Yan hurriedly asked.
"Of course ......not," Aunt Susan looked like an old man, and she said with a smile: "When you first told me, I thought you were going to kill the murderer in public, but I didn't expect it to be this plan, but fortunately, the party was scheduled for the second half of the night, and the children were basically asleep at that time." β
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
But thinking about the nearly 1,000 people gathering late at night to watch this kind of thing, it's still quite exciting, but there is a little embarrassment in addition to the excitement, but fortunately I am not there.
"What about Simon? And also...... Canspa? β
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
He noticed that everyone's gaze at Sulia was a little inexplicable, as if they were worried, fearful, and a little envious...... In short, it was no longer like before, so he didn't think about it and decisively changed the topic.
"Actually, I'm more curious than that, why you're late? Don't...... Lost? β
Suria's face turned even redder.
"I'll explain that question." Sam stepped up again.
He gestured to Crewe, who was lying on the couch with a pale face.
"Do you look familiar with him?"
"Yo, isn't this the guy who loves green onions?" Mu Yanle is happy, why did he also get involved?
"This kid claimed to be commissioned by you to lead the way, and then took Miss Susie around the alley for more than half an hour, if he hadn't been bumped into by Link, he would probably still be going around in circles."
"Link?" Mu Yan tilted his head and looked sideways. "What is he going to do again?"
The young man huddled in the crowd and told him the answer with the shape of his mouth.
Mu Yan understood, that was the meaning of "rune turtle".
It seemed that the benefits of his series of missions were far more than simple prestige, but also had far-reaching effects, and when he thought of this, he couldn't wait to see the journal and dungeon rewards.
At this time, Mawson slowly walked out of the crowd and handed him a black carved box.
"This is the crystal that Lorov left me, and you deserve it."
"Obtain an item: Teleportation Crystal (the object is bound to Lorov Zephyr), 1/1 of the remaining uses, cannot be charged. [Simply put, it's a one-way text message, never used to show love.] ]β
"Thank you, Mr. Mawson, for the precious gift."
Mo Sen smiled noncommittally, he understood these words as a step for himself, so he also gave Mu Yan a step.
He waved his hands and said aloud:
"Okay, okay, let's go, this little couple has just experienced life and death, and now they need some private space, so don't add to the chaos for us eyesore."
The crowd burst into laughter and then left in a hurry.
Sam and Link also thoughtfully carried away the unconscious Crewe.
There was an instant silence in the room.
