Chapter 31: Reality
"Is Lord Morford gone?" ,
"I just left, what's wrong, you want to be lazy?"
The two guards walking down the corridor were talking as they patrolled.
"I don't have the guts, I'm just ...... You know, every time I stand in front of that adult, I feel like I'm going to die. ”
One of the slightly blessed guards said with palpitations,
"Then you're done, I heard that His Royal Highness the City Lord is much stronger than Lord Morford, what if you bump into it one day?"
"No, I haven't seen the city lord in two years, what about you?"
The tall guard shrugged, "I've only been with you for half a year, and I'm about the same as you." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the ceiling,
"Further up are the cronies, and that's the end of our kind of people who don't have much background."
The guard pursed his lips and rubbed his thick chin, "But I've heard others say that there are actually no guards on the eighth floor, and those who accidentally break in are-"
He made a throat-slitting motion, startling his companion.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense."
The tall guard covered his companion's mouth and looked cautiously to the left and right.
The short guard, who had been reminded, became nervous, and after observing for a while before relieving himself, he continued to make his rounds.
"Why don't you leave, it's almost the end."
After walking for a while, the short guard noticed that his companion had not followed, and turned back and asked.
"Oh, right away."
The tall guard carefully looked around the small corner of the corridor and was sure that there was no one else in the small area a few meters wide before catching up with his companion.
After a few moments, until the entire corridor was silent, a compartment like shards of glass appeared on the wall in the corner, and from then on an arm stretched out.
"It was very dangerous just now, the guards on the seventh floor are not high in combat effectiveness, but they are unexpectedly keen, as long as they leave a little omission, they will be discovered."
The black-robed man rejoiced, "Your extradimensional space is indeed very useful. ”
"Who are you?" Garon leaned against the wall and asked, "Why is it here?" ”
The black-robed man sighed deeply when he heard Garon's words, and then turned around.
"You don't recognize me after a few days, old friend?" , his palm flexed into a claw-like shape, tearing through the thick black robe, revealing the golden armor within.
That cynical face and evil smile can not be imitated by a second person.
"Dies?" Garon was stunned, "You're really alive!" ”
"Ah, my life is much stronger than a rat in the sewers, and I won't die easily." Dies's smile quickly faded, "After all, there are still some things to be done. ”
From the face of his old friend, Garon read some strangeness and distance, as if friends who have been separated from each other for many years have become no longer tacit.
Dice may have felt this emotion as well, and he hooked his hand and said.
"Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
Although they were already in the city lord's territory, neither of them was an ordinary person, and they soon found a vacant hall.
As the guards said, on the seventh floor and above, the number of people stationed on the seventh floor and above has been greatly reduced, and the leader of Fog City does not seem to have a hospitable character, so many places on the first floor of Nuoda are empty.
The two rested in the room for a while, neither of them speaking first.
Garon had many questions, but didn't know where to start for a while.
As for Diss, he leaned on the windowsill and looked out at the scenery of Fog City.
"You've been here all these days?" Finally, Garon asked.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, and now I don't dare to walk around, I'm going to die." Diess clasped his hands and said.
Garon frowned,
"What did you find?"
"A lot, thanks to it." Dees tapped on the breastplate of the golden robe and said.
"Tell me about it." Garon raised an eyebrow and said.
Dees shook his head,
"It's not the time yet, it's not good for you to know too much, haven't you always wanted to live a peaceful life?"
Garon was stunned, then fell silent. Indeed, since Diess is still alive, it is time to go back according to the original plan.
Dees saw Garon's hesitation, leaned sideways against the window, and said.
"Before, I was injured a little, and I was going to look for you when I recovered my body, but unfortunately it was delayed.
For the next few days, I stayed here to prevent being found by that guy, and I thought about it a lot.
Garon, sometimes it's not a good thing to know the truth, because the reality ...... It's very brutal. ”
Garon clasped his fingers together and made a crisp sound, as if he was thinking and making a trade-off.
"Indeed, ignorance is happiness, but unfortunately I don't like to be fooled, not by man, not by God.
Tell me everything you know, and what to do after that, it's up to me. ”
Dees's face became complicated, and Garon's answer was different from what he expected, but not strange to him.
"It's really your character, but where to start?"
He turned his face slightly and looked out the window at the houses, the streets, the crowds.
"This world is a false existence."
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, a failed work created by the god Hypnos, a prisoner of heroes.
It was supposed to be a cage for humans who had been enemies of the gods since the age of mythology, but to his surprise, after enduring the dreams of too many heroes, the world had escaped from Hypnos's grasp and began to become more and more large and complex.
As a last resort, the god of sleep can only hide his divine power in various parts of the world, and then get out of this cage.
It's a pity that no matter how much you get to the truth, the fake is the fake. In this place, except for those heroes who have forgotten themselves, I am afraid that only the puppets of the dream world are left. ”
Dides then pointed to the garments on his body.
"If I hadn't had this guy to protect me, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the same existence as them.
It's just that, compared to going back to reality, I occasionally think this place is pretty good.
It's great to have no God's interference, no worries, forget yourself, you can squander your power to your heart's content, and live without constraints, isn't it? ”
"Reality .......," Garon muttered, "what kind of place is reality?" ”
Hearing this, Diese smiled bitterly, "It's a terrible world, I'm afraid I can just catch up with the last battle when I go back, and then ...... There is no future. ”
"So, Garon, you still have a choice." Dis said lightly, "I was deceived by an old guy, and I can't do anything about it." But you're different, there's no need to accompany us to fight a battle that we can't win. After all, you are no longer a pure warrior.
Somewhere, there's someone waiting for you, isn't there? ”
By the way, she was still waiting in the mountain house, and Garon lowered his head, hesitating.
In my head, shattered memories emerge.
[Everything is left to you, born under Gemini. 】
[Please don't be late, Gemini...... Galleons. 】
The teacher who taught her own techniques, the little girl who was still waiting for a response, what the hell .......
"Am I a warrior?" Garon asked, looking up.
Dees was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Of course, you're a great fighter."
"Then I can't escape." Garon took a deep breath, the hesitation in his eyes dissipating, "Otherwise, I'll just be a coward." ”
"You guy, you're ......," Diese shook his head, and was about to say something when the hall began to shake.
Both of them sensed that there was a very powerful momentum that filled the building.
"Looks like we've been discovered." Garon said slowly.
"No, this is the city lord's territory, and since we came in, there has been no possibility of hiding." "It's just that that guy hasn't been able to find a specific location, and now it'...... Maybe it's locked. ”
The door was pushed open, and a figure entered.
"Don't do it, it's a companion." Dice pressed Garon's shoulder and said to the slender figure who walked in, "Take my friend away, please." ”
The guy in front of him seemed to be a human figure wrapped in a shadow, but he nodded, and then grabbed Garon's arm.
"Garon, there's so much more that hasn't been told to you, but I've left the answer in that place.
Follow him, and you will remember everything you have forgotten. ”
With a stroke of his arm, the window sill was cut open by light pressure, leaving a large hole in the wall.
"In the end, hopefully we'll see each other again.
Gemini Gold Saint Seiya. ”
The black shadow rushed to the gap in the wall with Gareon with great force, and jumped from the sky.
Garon, who couldn't react for a while, fell from a high altitude at the moment. The remnants of the hurricane were the howl of the hurricane, and the golden armor and fluttering white cloak of the old friend.
The walls of the door were crawling with cracks, bursting inwards and bursting to pieces. Behind Diss, on the exposed corridor stood a woman wearing a silver mask on her face.
"I let you run last time, and I won't miss it again this time, Mr. Saint Seiya."
Dice turned, pale blue spiritual fire burning from his erected fingertips.
"Then you must be prepared for a hard battle, Lord of the City.
After all, I'm ...... Athena's warrior. ”
