Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Legend of the Source of Nightmares of the Old Gods
Today the weather is good, and many tourists are on the deck basking in the sun, watching the scenery or fishing for sea fish.
After Wright woke up, he watched the sea view for a long time with great interest, and the endless sea made him feel a lot more open-minded.
However, this kind of scenery is seen every day on the ship, and I get tired of seeing too much, so Wright also feels the maddening boredom and monotony of the sea.
Seeing that the weather was nice, Wright went out on deck to bask in the sun, having been in the room for a long time and feeling like he was going to get moldy.
Gaun was fishing for sea fish with a human, and beckoned Wright to come over when he saw him.
The human who joins Gaun is also a sailor on the Queen, named Barros, and is a commoner of the human kingdom of Kelseri, the Setlian. Since Setlian built his country by the sea, most of his people relied on the sea for food. The sea fishing industry and maritime trade in the Setrian were very well developed, and the people were wealthy and adventurous.
Motivated by both his family's support and his dream of an adventure at sea, Barros decided to work as a sailor aboard the Queen.
Wright came to Gaun's side, watched them blow each other, tear each other down, and suddenly punched each other when he laughed, thinking that this kind of getting along was not bad.
"Perhaps, this is the friendship between men (minotaurs are also human, right?). Wright thought.
Barros leaned forward, crossed over to Gaun and said to Wright, "Hey, lad, have you heard of the most famous legend of the Sea of Endilis?"
Wright shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, this is my first time at the beach." ”
"Legend has it that in the middle of the sea of Ndilis holds the heart of the world of Elzers, the sealer of an extremely powerful black dragon. ”
Barros continued, "Legend has it that 30,000 years ago, the Source of Nightmares of the Old Gods used dreams to lure a powerful black dragon. The black dragon fell in the dream, but it also gained great power from the source of the nightmare. ”
"What is the origin of the Nightmare of the Old Gods?"
"Intelligent races can dream, right? Barros asked.
"The bears don't. Gaun said.
", don't talk nonsense. ”
"Oh. ”
"The Sapient Race sometimes has nightmares, so what is the source of these nightmares?" Barros then asked Wright.
"Isn't it their concern about something?" Wright asked, feeling a little incredulous.
"Some are, but some nightmares are unfounded, without warning, haven't you had?"
Wright thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there really were, and some nightmares were really unfounded, so he replied, "Yes." ”
"Then it's likely that the nightmare is influenced by the source of the nightmare. Because He will spread nightmares everywhere and draw strength from them.
And He also deliberately lures certain targets to help Him accomplish terrible things. For example, the black dragon, after being lured into falling, greatly increased in strength, and then followed the instructions of the source of nightmares to destroy the world heart of Elzes!"
"What does He do with the heart of destroying the world?"
"The Heart of the World is like the heart of Elzers, without which Elzers will die and the world barrier will disappear. Without the protection of the world's barriers, all living beings living in Elzes have escaped the poisonous hands of the source of the nightmare. ”
Wright found the story terrifying, and he asked, "Then this dragon must have failed, right?" ”
"Of course, there would still be us. Legend has it that it was the Guardian of the World and the race alliance of Elzers who joined forces to defeat the Black Dragon and seal it outside the Heart of the World. ”
"It's so dangerous, why don't you just destroy it and seal it?"
"I don't know, the legend says. ”
“......”
Wright was a little curious about what ordinary people thought of the World Guardians, so he asked, "Barros, what kind of people do you think the World Guardians are?"
"Betrayer. ”
"Forehead ......"
"They're taboo for Elzers, and let's not talk about them anymore. ”
Wright felt a little frustrated and sad in his heart, and then he perked up again, aren't these thoughts exactly what he is trying to change, and now everything has just begun.
