Chapter 9: The Shock Under the Night Sky
Joanna bit her lip gently, thinking desperately about what Zachary said to the ghost of the warrior who claimed to be unwilling to defeat in front of her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why did you come out to help me during the day, there was no need for this, was it?" Joanna said to Zachary after thinking for a moment, but she still didn't say a word, unless you had some intention for me.
Zachary smiled softly, he knew exactly what Joanna hadn't finished, but it was worth putting his mind to.
"Miss Joanna, I wonder if you believe in fate?" Zachary boredom urged his body to float in the air, and if outsiders saw it, he would shout that it was haunted.
"Fate?" Joanna stared closely at Zachary dancing in the air, and wondered if her aesthetic sense was different from ordinary people, and she felt good when she saw Zachary's transparent body fluttering in the moonlight.
"Yes, fate." There was a sudden feeling of exhaustion in his body, which made Zachary understand that he had consumed too much strength during the day, and he was afraid that he would not last long before he fell into a deep sleep again, but before he fell asleep, Joanna must dispel his doubts about himself, at least he could not stare at himself like an enemy without relaxing for a moment.
"Fate, I don't believe much, my father told me since I was a child that the only thing I can rely on on the battlefield is the sword in my hand and the reliable shoulder of my comrades, maybe the gaze of the goddess of luck will make you lucky for a while, but the goddess will not always look at you after all."
Joanna's little finger lightly touched her lips and she shook her head after thinking for a moment.
"Ah, Joanna, you have a good father, but you don't believe in fate, that's a real problem." Zachary dropped his body and sat down at the table looking at Joanna with a troubled look.
"Is there something wrong? Well, I don't know why you're asking me this question, but I do know that the gods and goddesses are talking about the prophets, and I've heard that they can see the future and make predictions. Joanna shrugged, "But I've never believed that fate is immutable, otherwise I've been training so hard since I was a kid." ”
"Is that so, that's fine." Zachary jumped off the table with a slight leap, of course this was just a simulation of him, his body was so light that it was impossible to do such an act.
"Then what if, I tell you that there will be a catastrophe on this continent in the future that no one can imagine, everyone will not be able to avoid this catastrophe, of course, including your small village, will also be left in the catastrophe."
"How is it possible, what do you think of the powerhouses on the continent, let alone the gods." Joanna glanced at her mouth in disbelief, there had been so-called catastrophes on the continent, but they were all resolved by those heroes, and they didn't even need the gods to take action.
"Joanna, it was a catastrophe that no one could imagine, and legend has it that the strong can only struggle powerlessly in this catastrophe, and the gods will not be able to protect themselves."
"Heh, I'm not one of those ignorant innocent little girls, this Mr. Ghost, what are you trying to do to scare me so much?" Joanna didn't believe what Zachary was saying, as he had said that he was just a ghost of a warrior who was unwilling to fail, and Joanna was skeptical.
"I know you won't believe it." Zach smacked his lips, reluctantly walked in front of Joanna, and saw Zachary coming over, although Joanna knew that if the other party really attacked her, she couldn't resist it at all, but she still put on a defensive posture in an instant.
Zachary didn't care about Joanna's defense of herself, she just walked a few steps in front of Joanna and stopped approaching, which made Joanna's heart feel a little relieved, although she had seen Zachary's shot during the day, she understood that this distance was just to comfort herself, if she really wanted to make a move, the other party could restrain her in an instant.
"But it's okay if you don't believe it, Miss Joanna, because Miss Joanna, I'll show you some pictures next." Under the watchful eye of Joanna's guard, Zachary opened his palm to Joanna, and a curtain of light appeared out of thin air over the dark room, and one by one images appeared in front of Joanna.
What is this, this seems to be an orc? No, where is this, how can there be so many orcs where is the battlefield?
This city is familiar, no, this, isn't this the county town of Derby! Joanna's face was shocked, and she stared in surprise at the image in Zachary's hand, which was the Derby County she often followed her father to, not to mention the Goshawk Banner of the Reiner Kingdom hanging on it.
"How is this possible......" Joanna stared at the screen in disbelief, then looked up sharply at Zachary, "You did this to deceive me, didn't you!" ”
The person who was shot down by an orc from the city wall just now from the picture, Joanna is very familiar, because the other party is the captain of the guard at the gate of Derbyshire, every time he goes to Derbyshire, he will stuff himself with a handful of candy, how could Joanna mistake that face, although it seems to be a little older in the picture.
Zachary completely ignored the anger in Joanna's gaze at him, and just shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the other to continue.
The scene then changed, and a scene that Joanna could not have been unfamiliar with appeared, the small village where she now lived, the hillside full of wildflowers, the lush grove, the smoky cabin, all in ruins.
"Impossible, impossible, how can this be ......"
Zachary didn't speak, but desperately urged the little remaining mental power in his body to release those game CG scenes in his mental memory.
The picture in Zachary's hands is constantly changing, the broken capital of Reiner, the Lydian steppes covered with corpses,
But the best scene made Joanna grow her mouth in shock, and she could no longer speak, because it was no longer the orcs or humans who appeared in the picture, but the figures standing in the sky out of thin air, and Joanna could not be unfamiliar with them, because she had seen statues of those people in the churches of various churches in Derbyshire.
These are the gods, the gods who live in the kingdom of God on a daily basis and do not eat the fireworks of the world, but what are they doing in the picture, they are fighting a group of ugly monsters. Joanna saw mythical creatures appear in the picture, dragons, phoenixes, demons, devils, and titans......
But whether it was the noble gods, or the rumored creatures or demons that were comparable to the gods, they were no longer so high, and Joanna saw that there were constantly figures being torn apart by the enemy and turned into a rain of blood, not a figure falling from the sky as a corpse.
This, how is this possible, aren't the gods immortal......
"Miss Joanna, don't you believe me now?" Zachary looked at Joanna's little face, which was as pale as white paper, and he knew how shocking the images he projected were, and he might be taken for a fool to tell others, especially since there were gods in them.
"I, I don't know......" Joanna sat in her chair in a daze before she could wake up from the impact of those images.
"Joanna." Zachary reluctantly walked up to Joanna and patted Joanna on the shoulder, Joanna, who was still in shock, didn't make a defensive move and let Zachary approach.
Joanna was patted by Zachary, a little sober, and shook her head slightly, Joanna looked up at Zachary sharply, "Zachary... Sir, why are you telling me this? ”
"Because you are Joanna, and in the future that those images portend, you will be the hero of this continent."
"I'm just an ordinary little girl, Mr. Zachary, though I often fantasize about being the hero of those epics." Joanna shook her head with a wry smile, her immature little face completely devoid of her usual flamboyance.
"No, Joanna, you have a talent far beyond mortals, and in the future, you will become a hero worthy of the powerful gods of the sun god." Zachary spoke softly.
"Is it true?" Joanna was a little incredulous, "and if that's the case, then why didn't I protect Derbyshire, my uncles and aunts in the village?" ”
"Because, no matter how talented you are, it takes a time to grow, and Joanna will have that kind of strength when you have it, after the fall of the Reiner Kingdom."
"So, I can help you and train you in advance so that you can grow faster." Zachary leaped lightly and floated back above the broken sword on the table.
"Miss Joanna, please consider what I have to say, and of course you can choose not to believe the scenes in those pictures." Zachary smiled lightly, "After all, that's what I showed you, maybe there's something fake in it." ”
"Okay, Miss Joanna, good night, and hopefully you can sleep well tonight."
"Oh yes." Before returning to the broken sword, Zachary suddenly raised his head and shouted to Joanna, "Miss Joanna, because I have exhausted the accumulated strength during the day and just put those pictures, so I will not be able to appear for a few days, please remember to put me in a place where the sun and moon can shine." ”
"Goodbye then, Miss Joanna." Zachary's body fell backwards in the air, and his entire body went directly into the broken sword, and the thorn flowers on the hilt of the broken sword flashed a few red lights.
Joanna was the only one left in the dark room, as if no one had appeared at all just now, just a little girl who couldn't sleep and couldn't get up to enjoy the moonlight, only Joanna, who couldn't see the expression on her face when she lowered her head, knew in her heart how much impact everything that had just happened on her.
After a long time, a soft sigh suddenly sounded in the silent room, slowly dissipating into the dark night.
