Act XVI. Inheritance

It was the vastness of the Star Ocean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info

Completely different from the flat night sky that you look up at above the surface, it is a beautiful scene of countless stars intertwined, with bright and dazzling stars in all directions, forming strange and familiar constellations, unfolding before Shiloh's eyes.

Overly lonely and overflowing with his chest, Shiloh tries to find his hometown in the sea of stars around him, but it is another planet that gradually grows in front of his eyes.

A blue planet orbiting a blazing star, and three planets hovering next to it.

Shiloh knew their names.

Cecilia the Scarlet Moon, Ayerslan the Blue Moon, Eustia the Silver Moon.

This is Atlas.

Shiloh saw that the planet, which had been full of lava, gradually cooled and turned into a cracked and dry earth, and then a torrential rain came, and the water became a stream, gathering into a sea, and life was brewing under the rough waves.

Then the mountains and rivers rise, the earth sinks, and the originally desolate land is gradually infected with greenery.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a sea of vicissitudes.

Before he could sigh, Shiloh found that the scenery around him had changed again.

The sea of stars has vanished, replaced by a blood-stained sunset.

It was dusk.

On the battlefield filled with flames, the corpses of the two armies were scattered in a mess, one of them was the noble elves, the wise Els, the brave beasts, and the strong humans.

On the other side, there are beasts and aliens of all shapes, demons that smell of sulfur and rancidity, living corpses that cannot be killed, and families of the people of dusk.

Shiloh remembered that the epic of the gods had recorded such a great battle, which was a battle between the goddess and the people of dusk, in which the people of dusk were finally defeated, and the goddess fell into eternal sleep, after which, the gods who had lost the dominion of the goddess began to be in chaos, and finally the stars fell to the earth, and the gods withered.

It was the end of the age of mythology and the beginning of the age of mortals.

After that, it was a thousand-year-long ****, until the Black Mad Lord ended the war and unified the continent again.

However, the tyrannical rule finally aroused the anger of the people, and the world was only at peace for less than a hundred years, when the flames of war were ignited again, the Black Mad King fell, the ancient kingdoms were established, and the continent came to the era of Shiloh in continuous warfare.

But Shiloh knew that those were just background introductions to the game, just a few words of description of the various ruins that players found in the game. If he was in the history of the game before, then what he sees now is the history that does not exist in the game.

"Are you the heir?"

What interrupted Shiloh was a voice.

It was a young girl.

About fourteen or fifteen years old, with long flaxen hair swaying in the wind tied up at the end of a cherry ribbon, a girl with a beautiful face like a doll carved by a top craftsman's life, wearing a white dress, holding a simple long sword in her hand, white thighs, slender calves, and stepping barefoot on the bare stone slab, but there was no disobedience.

And the most eye-catching thing is her eyes.

In the amber eyes, the bright starry sky and this devastated world are reflected, so that those who look at her can't help but fall into inexplicable loneliness, Shiloh seems to have returned to his childhood, it is the endless stone road under the light of the dim street lamp, it is the little starlight leaking from the small mouth of the stone wall, he is a little trance, and he can't help but shake his head.

"You ......"

All the hallucinations just now seemed to disappear again, and in front of Shiloh's eyes, only the girl was left.

"I have a lot of names, but none of them matter...... Well, Tia, you can call me that. โ€

Tia, the girl, whispered softly in a voice as melodious as a wind chime, like a long-standing ballad.

"As for you, it's Shiloh. Is Ian Gray right? โ€

His name was called, and the corners of Tia's mouth curled slightly.

He could only nod in the face of Tia's question, and Shiloh didn't know what to say for a while because the unfolding in front of him was too unimaginable.

He defeated Trashul the Flame Incinerator and passed the so-called "trial" in his mouth, and then, it should be the favorite link to open the corpse and pick up equipment, why did he suddenly come to this strange place again?

Is there still the legendary third stage, where you have to defeat the girl in front of you to pass the level?

When Shiloh was thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

He had already injured his internal organs due to the fall, and he had left several wounds that had not yet healed in the continuous battles, but at this moment, he did not have the slightest scar on his body, even with the highest level of healing ability, he could not do it in such a short time.

Hurriedly calling out the game panel, Shiloh found that his health was full, and all kinds of debuffs had disappeared, so to speak, he could almost be called full now, but he still wanted to avoid such a thing as having to go through another battle.

"I'm sure you've already met Trassier, right?"

Tia broke the silence first, she asked, but instead of her gaze on Shiloh, she looked at the sky and the horizon, where the sun was setting.

"Hmm...... He talked about the trial inheritance and the like. โ€

Remembering the undead knight and his words, Shiloh nodded.

"That guy, what a stubborn idiot, alas, I don't know how long it will take for him to understand me a little."

Sighing as if helplessly, Tia shifted her gaze to the team not far from the two.

Shiloh also turned his head and followed Tia's line of sight.

It was a knight with silver hair and red eyes, his armor shining in the twilight of dusk, and his handsome face was very different from the exhausted Trashuel that Shiloh had seen, except for the temperament between his eyebrows. Beside the knight was a wolf burning with blazing flames, a beast that should have been fierce, but now like a tame little dog, leaping around the knight.

"He may have had his insistence."

Shiloh whispered, the thrilling battle with Trashol was still happening before his eyes, but he was undeniably a worthy opponent.

"It's just a stupid guy who doesn't be frank, well, it must be."

Tia nodded to herself, her lively tone like the little girl next door.

"Having said that, I seem to feel a little different aura in you."

With a movement of her nose, Tia sniffed around Shiloh like a puppy.

Could it be that he is aware of the soul of his own traverser?

Shiloh didn't know what the consequences would be if the other party had insight into this secret, but instinctively shuddered.

"Well, maybe it's a delusion."

Without careful inspection, Tia gave up the investigation, and Shiloh was quietly relieved to come to such a conclusion.

"So, that 'Legacy of the Stars' is you?"

Continuing to ask, Shiloh felt that the girl seemed to be fundamentally different from the one he had envisioned to have a legacy.

"Of course not me."

Tia shook her head as she should, and then said to Shiloh with a bewildered expression.

"To be precise, I'm the bearer of the Legacy of the Stars, and even if I let you inherit this inheritance, I can't give it to you together."

As if shy, Tia looked away.

"Of course, this is just a phantom of the past, so if you want to do something, you can."

The amber eyes rippled with water, and Shiloh couldn't help but swallow.

"--Something, it's all a lie."

Immediately turned into a mischievous grimace, and Tia seemed quite satisfied with her prank, and she smiled rather pleasantly as she watched the rapidly changing expression on Shiloh's face.

"I'm not interested in children......"

Shiloh muttered, looking embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, that's the end of the joke, after all, I haven't spoken to anyone else for too long, and it's too boring to continue talking in such a serious manner."

Tia shrugged, and the smile on her face disappeared into a serious expression.

"Since you have passed the test of that stupid person in Traschel, it is enough to prove that you are qualified to inherit the inheritance, and according to the agreement, I will also hand it over to you."

"Well, I don't really understand what the legacy is......"

To tell the truth, Shiloh felt that it would be better to get some information from the girl in front of him.

"As you will know later, the thread of fate and cause and effect will arrange all the things that should be held on the same trajectory, which is the fate that the stars have already decided, as long as you hold the inheritance, you will naturally move towards the end."

Tia smiled mysteriously and said something that Shiloh didn't quite understand.

"Uh......"

Although I know that CCE's copywriters are all severe middle and second diseases, such incomprehensible lines still give Shiloh a headache.

"Alright, don't talk, time is running out."

Tia said, glancing into the distance, in the dense clouds, thunder and storms brewing, and the world was shaking.

"Close your eyes and I will pass it on to you."

"Hmm."

Closing his eyes at the girl's words, Shiloh was still thinking nonsense, and when he was worried about being attacked by the momentum, he felt something warm and soft on his lips.

One second is like ten thousand years, and ten thousand years return to one second.

The warm touch was fleeting, Shiloh opened his eyes, the girl's cheeks seemed to have a faint crimson, and the amber eyes reflected the stars and the world, and in the middle was Shiloh's face.

It's just a momentary intersection, as if nothing has changed, as if everything has changed.

"What a troublesome way, don't get me wrong."

Tia said with her cheeks puffed out, the look that made Shiloh's heart skip a beat.

Shiloh seemed to understand a little bit of the reason why Trasher was willing to watch for a thousand years.

"Well, so, this isโ€”"

Tia's lips were pressed against Tia's fingers, and Shiloh fell silent.

"You've done everything you need to do, there's no extra perks, and it's time for you to go back to that place."

Tia whispered, her voice as melodious as a flute.

"Unlike me, there are still people waiting for you to go back."

"How do you know ......?"

Shiloh didn't finish his words, because everything in front of his eyes began to become hazy, and a second before the world fell into darkness, he saw the girl's slightly lonely smile, and the last soft whisper, and he didn't hear what she said, but judging from the movement of his lips, Shiloh felt that it was-

"I'm sorry."
