Chapter 1: Escape
What an unlucky goat.
It had been overwhelmed by last night's ride, and it had just run away from the two of them for a while, but it had exhausted what little energy it had left. In the end, the goat did not survive the night, bleeding from the seven orifices, and fell to the ground and died suddenly.
Considering that we are in an environment where everything is in flux, in the spirit of making the best use of things, I dismembered a few pieces of fresh meat from the goats, used magic to remove the moisture from the meat, and carried it with me as dry food.
"Please hurry up and take me to the temple in Marcus City, before I get caught by those oathbreakers!"
At the girl's urgent plea, I carried her on my back and walked along the avenue in the direction she was pointing.
"Marcus City?" The city seemed to me far away, "Where are we now?" ”
"Ruichi," the girl added a note as she noticed my eyebrows furrowed, "the westernmost part of Skyrim Province, next to the High Rock Province and the Falling Hammer Province. ”
"Uh...... Tell me the details of today's date. ”
"The sixteenth day of the frost moon in the year of the fourth age."
"Sixteenth?" The straw that pressed on my heart was lifted, and tons of doubts couldn't help but overflow, and I complained to the little girl, "Are you kidding?" I was still in the snowy city last night, and it would have taken me two days and two nights to get from there to the border of Ruichi's territory. What's more, as you have seen, it was not a good horse that carried me here every day, but a goat, and I am afraid that I could not even get out of the snow-covered plains on the road I traveled this night...... Phew, sorry, I'm a little out of shape, I hope it didn't scare you. ”
But the little girl was not at all affected by my slightly agitated words, and she stated a shocking fact in a nonchalant tone.
"That's because it was a King Didra who led you."
"Sam Guiwen? You say he's a king of Dedra? ”
It doesn't sound impossible, at least judging from the fact that he healed my wounded soul, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person, several grades stronger than Musk, but if he is the king of Dedra, how long have I been in this world? Did King Didra have such a bad street?
That could be his pseudonym. His real name is Sangeon, the god of indulgence and revelry. ”
This...... Oh my God, how did you get involved with a Didra monarch again? Helsin's hunting grounds still haunt me to this day, wondering if Sangein, the god of indulgence and revelry, will cause me any new troubles, and Musk, the only one who can help me with such troubles, has completely left this world. To be on the safe side, it is better to ask the little girl on her back now, if you can call Sangein's name directly, the girl must have a considerable degree of understanding of this King Didra.
"That...... Did Sangien leave anything strange on me? ”
The girl moved the hand around my neck and pulled my collar open, and I looked down.
Hey? When did an extra sapling appear on the chest? Is it the mark left by Sangeen? I remember that there was nothing here when I was showering the night before.
I carefully recalled yesterday's experience, Krako's funeral, the celebration of the sapling in the ground...... By the way, isn't this the sapling that Ancient Glitter gave me? Yesterday there was an accident at the celebration of the sapling in the ground, when there was a sudden electric shock in my body, a throbbing throbbing along my left hand all the way to my chest, and finally my heart beat several times, maybe it was at that time that the tattoo of the sapling appeared on the chest.
And it's not just a simple tattoo, when my finger touches the sapling, I can clearly feel a refreshing breath of life, like the sapling has been flattened into a piece of paper and pasted on the chest.
"But this is the breath of the goddess Ginares, and I can't detect what it has to do with the Sangeon in your mouth."
"Take a closer look."
Following the direction of the girl's fingertips, I found new clues that seemed to ...... A budding flower bone grows in the canopy?
"Sangeon grafted a rose on this sapling."
"This ...... Will it have any unpleasant effects on me? ”
"I don't know what to do. But what is certain is that the rose will draw a steady stream of nutrients from this sapling as it grows. According to the original course, after last night's ......," the girl paused, her voice like a filament, and continued, "After last night's ritual is completed, the roses will bloom. ”
Fortunately, Delphine didn't know what method Lu Dao used to follow Sangeon and arrived in time, interfering with the progress of the ceremony, which temporarily suspended Sangeon's plan. Listen to the girl's explanation, the growth of roses will rob the nutrients of the saplings, and a living case of doves occupying the magpie's nest. To a man who has been blessed with ancient flashes, this is undoubtedly blasphemy.
"What happens when the roses bloom?"
"I don't know what to do." Behind her, the girl shook her head.
"What am I in Sangeen's eyes? A tool that is exploited? ”
"I don't know what to do." The girl was still shaking her head.
"What does Sangeon's realm look like?"
"I don't know what to do." The girl hammered me lightly on my back as a reminder, "I'm just a little girl, don't expect me to know too much." ”
"As the other protagonist of the Sangien celebration, I can tell so many secrets, I don't think you're just an ordinary little girl."
……
"What's your name?"
"Flotra."
"Why did you get taken captive to that celebration?"
"Not long ago, the goddess Di Bella gave me a revelation that I would become the next prophet of the goddess. The crows of Ruichi must have gotten the news from their masters. ”
"Di Bella's prophet? What is that? ”
Speaking of her faith, Flotra told me everything she knew about the Goddess.
"Di Bella is the Spirit of beauty, the patron goddess of artists, poets, and those who seek the joy of life. As a prophet of Di Bella, I have the ability to communicate with the goddess. ”
"Oh? Didn't Di Bella tell you that there was going to be a catastrophe next? ”
"The goddess cannot speak directly to the believer. But she can hint and present her thoughts and preferences to me through dreams. ”
"And what did you dream about?"
"A frenzy of deerclops chased me and tore at me, and in desperation I climbed a big tree and ...... It's finally safe. ”
"It's not logical at all. A little girl can climb a tree, and I don't believe that the deerclops can just stand down and watch," noticing that the girl behind me was shivering from recalling a horrible nightmare, I casually laughed to ease her anxiety, "Did you then pluck apples from the tree and throw them at them, and beat the rabble away?" ”
"How can there be such a child's play!" The girl snorted, then kissed me like a dragonfly on the back of the neck, "The tree ran away on my back, and the deerclops couldn't catch up, just like now." Thank you! ”
Uh, running trees? Isn't that child's play? Di Bella is truly the poet's Holy Spirit, and all kinds of surreal dreams come to her senses.
I remember that Sangeen, the demon god who went by the alias Sam Guiwen, mentioned Di Bella's name last night, "In my name with Di Bella, your union will be blessed by us!" ”。 Now that I think about it, one is the demon god who indulges in lust and revelry, and the other is the Holy Spirit who provides shelter for those who seek the joy of life.
"So you were caught as a sacrifice by what you call the Oathbreaker?"
"I used to live in Kaswisten with my adoptive parents, but the oathbreakers attacked it two days ago, slaughtering all the inhabitants of the town, and now I'm the only one left alive."
The home fell, the townspeople who had lived together for more than ten years were all killed, and even after death, they were reduced to a meal for demons and monsters, and the girl's mood became low again. I patted her on the back and comforted her, "A sad news. But rest assured, I'm still there for you now. Do you have any plans for the future? ”
"There is no suitable hiding place outside, and other unrelated residents will be affected. The oathbreakers will recapture me and sacrifice me, and the failure of this ritual must have made them angry. After some distressed thought, the girl made a decision that seemed to her to be the safest, "Now I can only go to the Temple of Dibella in Marcus City, where only Marcus City can provide enough power to shelter me. ”
"No problem, I promise you'll be safe and secure to Marcas under my escort. And......" I continued to add, "I also need to get enough supplies in a big city to get back to Xueman, and the distance between the two cities is too far. By the way, how far are we from Marcas City now? ”
"It's not too far, but there's a big mountain in between. If you can find a suitable means of transportation, you can arrive within two days at the earliest. ”
My God, I have to run for two days on horseback, and if I walk, won't I have to be cheated for ten days and half a month? The negative energy released by Flora was so devastating that I almost threw the girl on my back to the ground. Now I am penniless and have to walk with a little girl on my back, not to mention the evil pursuers who will be at the mercy of the crow ghost woman at any time.
But what can I do? I always have to go, and I can't just go on strike. Well, let's just walk forward like this, it looks like I'm going to experience what it's like to beg along the road - I hope I don't become a horse thief.
