Chapter 317: Broken Love (2 o'clock again)

"Where did I come from and where am I going? Who gave birth to me, and why did you give birth to me? ”

Since its birth, Esby has been struggling with such a problem.

It doesn't know how it was born, or what it came to be.

The only thing it knows is that it is the only one, the lonely.

Even though the people who met it were unreservedly dedicated to their enthusiasm wherever it went, it never felt any joy.

Because it knows that everything is false, and what people see in their eyes is not what it really is.

Even if it searched the whole world, and searched all the ancient books in its world, it would not find a single life similar to it in ancient and modern history.

It's so unique, so lonely.

Hence the name it gave itself - "Esby", a word that means "unique" in its world.

……

Esby has no form or lifespan, it does not feel the passage of time in its own body, and that time has never carved a trace on its body.

Over the course of an endless and long time, it has traveled the whole world, endured countless tribulations, and sought the meaning of its birth, which it called "the pursuit of truth", and for a time it called itself a "seeker of truth."

But after an unknown number of years, it still did not catch the shadow of the truth until ...... The day has come!

Before this day, in order to experience the feeling of "slowly stepping into the near-death situation in despair", Esby tried to break through himself, sublimate to the limit, and understand the truth from the boundary between life and death, so he resolutely stepped into the barren and dead desert of despair.

Esby did not bring any food or water with him when he entered the desert, nor did he inform anyone.

Alone and empty, it went deep into the desert, slowly but rhythmically into the depths of the desert.

It didn't eat or drink for a month, but it was still alive.

The scorching sun had dried its moisture, and hunger had drained its strength, but it was still alive, and it didn't feel like it was going to die.

Even if it lacks physical strength, it can manipulate its body to drag forward with its spiritual strength, and then go deeper into the desert step by step, without flinching.

Finally, on this day of her third month into the desert, Esby saw hope.

It noticed that a door suddenly appeared out of thin air, and it appeared right in front of it!

It was the Gate of Dusk.

But in Esby's eyes, it was the "Gate of Truth"!

In search of the first and final truth, Esby resolutely rushed through the "Gate of Truth" and then ...... Then it came to the Flame Girl Tavern.

……

When he first arrived at the tavern, Esby was excited, thinking that he would soon be bathed in the light of truth, and that his long-awaited hope was finally coming true!

However, the next moment after entering the tavern, the excitement was gone.

Because it found that it was probably not entering the door of truth.

The truth hidden in the deepest part of the world can never be so vulgar!

In just a few breaths, Esby experienced the thrill and excitement of going from hell to heaven and back again.

It would never have imagined that behind the "Gate of Truth" was such a picture, a mediocre restaurant furnishings, a vulgar two-legged beast, completely indistinguishable from the intelligent life of its world!

It's all the same vulgar, low-class, and easily desired. Driven by hope, there is no consciousness of being the master of the world!

So when all the guests in the tavern stared at it with fiery eyes, its heart was disappointed and angry.

When Hebron, the prince of adventure, was the first to invite him, he did not understand what Hebron was saying, nor did he respond in the slightest.

And what Hebron saw and heard was what he wanted to see and hear, including Esby's words to his invitation.

Later, the phenomenon began to spread, so that the guests of the tavern also heard what he heard, but it was only the same meaning of the words, and everyone heard different voices, tones, and even sentences, depending on each person's own wishes.

Esby didn't do anything, it just stood there, and everyone got what they wanted from it.

Then, Viscount Flanier, John, and the guard Takizawa spoke one after another, and Aceby just followed them to the table, and then ordered and ate as they wished.

The food at this tavern was unexpectedly delicious, but Esby had tasted countless rare delicacies in her own world earlier, so she didn't feel too much of an emotional swing because of it.

Its heart is still disappointed and angry, on the verge of exploding at any moment.

But in the eyes of the people around it, it is enjoying the food, and with the different wishes of each person, it presents different ways of eating, which are elegant, heroic, and quiet......

In fact, this difference can be alarming just by comparing it with each other.

But no one compares with each other, they are all immersed in Esby's charm, and the adventurous prince Hebron is even more eloquent in words to show his bravery.

The adventures he talks about may really appeal to a large number of people, but Esby is definitely not in that part.

To Esby's ears, Hebron was like an inferior product that made noise.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't a man who was good at violence, he would have pierced Hebron's throat on the spot and shut him up completely!

On the other hand, although Esby maintained a mood of disappointment and anger, he calmly thought carefully and analyzed, analyzing his current situation through various mental information around him.

Esby couldn't understand specific words, but he could perceive the meaning of those words through mental intelligence.

Then it realized that the world behind this door was not simple.

It originally thought that this door, which it had mistaken for the "Gate of Truth", was actually just an ordinary portal that suddenly appeared, but now it found that the restaurants and people behind it did not belong to its world!

The moment Esby realized this, Aspby's disappointment and anger disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly realized that he had probably found the "truth"!

The world behind this door is not the same as the world in which it lives.

It turns out that there is more than one world!

So is it unique in the original world, and is it a high-end life from other worlds?

At this moment, Esby felt that the "door of truth" was opening to herself!

And then......

Then the hour came, and it was forcibly sent back.
