Chapter 34: Guardian Dragon
Although the changes in the surrounding scene were amazing, they did not attract Ainan's attention, and his mind kept playing back the scene of the previous moment - under the shock of the dragon's breath, it was very difficult for him to even move, so he had to watch the other party spray a mouthful of dragon breath on him.
The moment he was sprayed by the dragon's breath, Ainan thought that he was in a catastrophe this time, and the shadow of death once again shrouded his head, and Ainan, who originally thought that he had already experienced death once, could face it indifferently, suddenly found that he was not as calm as he imagined, even if he had already tasted the taste of death once, he would still be afraid and still frightened when the real death came.
Actually, I'm just an ordinary person.
Ainam came to his senses.
Became a mage, mastered the power of magic, and after entering this world, the way can almost be described as smooth sailing, and the little fluttering that he originally bred disappeared after this time, and some just tasted the transformation and precipitation from heart to soul that others could not have after the great horror of life and death.
Nellas was the first to notice the difference in Ainam, whose temperament had changed so obviously. After looking at Ainan for a few moments, Neras said in a surprised tone, "You've changed. ”
Am I changing?
Perhaps.
Smiling indifferently, Ainan seemed a little proud, and didn't seem to care about anything. The two strange sensations mixed together, and Neras was amazed to watch.
While talking to Neras, Ainan was also looking around, and he found himself in a magical space, surrounded by gritty stars, and the color of these fine sand was constantly changing, forming strange ribbons, very beautiful.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is.
Speaking of his environment, Neras' face turned bitter: "Have you ever heard of the guardian dragon?" Well, I shouldn't have asked you that question. ”
I said, old man, can you not put on this expression that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten, it is very unpleasant to watch.
Ainan didn't speak, but his eyes conveyed his thoughts.
Nellas selectively ignored this.
"Compared to this world, we humans are a very young race, and we have very little knowledge of the world, such as the Sun-Hunting Court that teaches magic to humans, where they came from, how long their civilization has been established, who the first elves to master magic were, and why they are mortal enemies with trolls, we don't really know."
"In our eyes, the Sun-Chasing Court is very powerful, and their power is nothing compared to that of the Guardian Dragons - of course, this is what I, as the Director of the Royal Library, have inferred from the notes of my ancestors."
Ainan raised his eyebrows, the guardian dragon should be a guardian kind of existence when he hears the name, so what are they guarding? With a dragon at the top of the food chain as a guardian, the things that are supposed to be guarded are not ordinary.
"The guardian dragons were created by the creator of this world, and their duty is to maintain order in the world and let the world run according to the will of the creator. As soon as someone tries to destroy it, the guardian dragon will come to the rescue. ”
Hearing this, Ainan couldn't help but interrupt: "How to understand the will of the Creator?" It is impossible to say that he has set a path, and we have to keep going, even if we know that the road ahead is destruction, we can't save ourselves. ”
"What do you think? Does the Creator care what we think? ”
Nellas's answer silenced Ainan, if the purpose of the guardian dragon's existence was to make the world run according to the trajectory set by the so-called Creator, without the slightest deviation, then wouldn't his existence be meaningless?
He is an intelligent creature with a complete soul and personality, not a thoughtless puppet, nor a plaything of some existence.
With a cold snort, Ainan said, "If the guardian dragons were created for this reason, they would be too sad. ”
The meaning of the dragon's existence is to maintain the order of the world, and this order has long been decided, and even the fate of the entire world has been decided early. It would be fine if they were dead creatures without thoughts, but judging from the performance of the dragon, the guardian dragons should be intelligent beings like humans, they have their own minds, their own set of opinions about things, if their own will is contrary to the creator in their mouths, what will the guardian dragons do?
I'm afraid that I can only hide my will and maintain the so-called order against my will. It's okay to do this once or twice, what is the mood of the dragons a few more times?
When Ainan told Nellas these words, the old fox fell silent.
"Life is a coffee table, and all the cups are placed on the coffee table - tragedy." With a sigh of emotion, Ainan suddenly thought, "No one wants to change all this?" ”
Neras rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "Thanks to you, this is the first time my old man has seen the guardian dragon, how do I know what they think?" ”
"If you don't even dare to resist, then you can only be a dog for the rest of your life."
Although dragons and dogs are very different in appearance, the way the guardian dragons do not differ from the guard dogs in Ainan's eyes, and if I have to say, the dog is strong enough.
"You kid is quite the same as my old man's spleen, but you won't insult the surname Neras." Neras scolded with a smile, and then his face turned grim, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be banished to the turbulence of time and space, you take a closer look around, it's not ordinary sand, it's the sand of time." Legend has it that each grain of the sands of time represents the entrance to a point in time, some of them are the past, some are the future, and some are the history that may have happened but did not happen, if we can't get out of here before the body collapses......"
As he spoke, Neras pointed to his body, and Ainam realized that everyone's bodies, including himself, were dissolving into grains of sand.
The process was silent, and Neras hadn't reminded Ainan that he wouldn't have noticed.
"What will happen if it continues?"
Ainan had a bad feeling, and Neras's words confirmed his suspicion: "We will be broken into countless parts in the turbulence of time, from body to soul, and then thrown into the sands of time to form new life, and we will die out completely." ”
Watching your body turn into countless grit and feeling the collapse of your soul little by little, this is more torturous and lasts longer than killing people directly.
That guardian dragon has a poisonous heart and a spicy hand.
It was only then that Ainan woke up to the fact that although he had received the godhead of a true god, his knowledge was too poor to be able to do anything about his current situation.
If the knowledge in the Godhead is not transformed into one's own thing, even if it is in one's own sea of knowledge, it is in vain.
"Don't be discouraged, young man, let alone be discouraged, tell you that I was at your age, well...... It's just a little bit better than you. ”
Are you comforting me, or showing yourself?
Hearing Nellas say this, Ainan was relieved, and the old fox had the heart to joke that there was hope.
"Wait a minute, I'll create an opportunity for you, take them and go. Don't hesitate. ”
"I'm Neras, a true genius who advanced to the master of magic earlier than Anthony, if it weren't for the serious injury of the guardian dragon, it would be a fart, and the turbulence of time and space would want to trap me and dream of your spring and autumn!"
A moment later, a dazzling speck of light appeared in the turbulence of time and space, and it flickered and disappeared.
After the light spot faded, on the other side of the temporal torrent of countless sands of time, a behemoth like a mountain raised its head, and the heaven-shattering dragon groan came out of its mouth, and the entire torrent of time trembled three times with its roar.
