Chapter 1006: Secretly Coming Home (7)
Terraria's skull shattered!
Shattered into pieces.
But no blood spilled.
"I'll go! It's too ruthless! Leo exclaimed.
I stood in the center of the altar and put away the black copper wooden hammer.
The people around him were already frightened and froze in place.
Actually, they're all really frozen.
Fragments of Terraria fell to the ground and vanished without a trace.
"To be honest, your screenwriting skills are not very good." I said to Leo.
"When did you find out?" Leo was a little depressed, "I didn't expect to be put on a show by you." ”
"I've seen it for a long time," I said, "but it's not bad, so I haven't debunked it, and let's see how you write it." ”
As I spoke, everything around me drifted away like weathered sand sculptures, and I returned to my grandfather's cellar.
Everything just now is a dream projection.
"It's not all made up by me," Leo said, "and some of your inner weaknesses, pain points, and things you've been struggling with, are automatically generated, that is, based on your needs." ”
I have to admit: "I do have some of my own imagination in this. ”
"You're a little pessimistic," Leo said, "always thinking about the worst." ”
"I'm guessing you've arranged for divine punishment," I said, "and then release it when I'm tied with Terraria, aren't you?" ”
"Yes, yes, you guessed that." Leo said.
"To be honest, the plot you made up is too earthly," I looked at the empty cellar, "Priest Fili came over alone, Terraria actually teleported from the altar, I'm afraid she doesn't have the ability, right?" ”
"Even if you know she's fake, you don't have to be so ruthless, right?" Leo said, "A headshot......
"The thing where the dream projection is not as good as the soul space is that it is not simulated enough for the real strength," I said, "I did this not against Terraria, but against you, so once I activate the real strength, the dream will be shattered, won't it?" ”
"It turned out that they were coming for me......," Leo said, "However, your own strength is also the reason for breaking through the dream, and it is really not easy to break it so easily if you are someone else." ”
"And ah......" I said, "there are places where I choke on my own. ”
"Where?" Leo was a little surprised.
"After talking for a long time, you don't even know what my little nephew's name is!" I said, "Also, you seem to have said that Bida would be the villain, but without your arrangement, it will only remind me of the trial of the Thunder City tryout, you are blatantly lazy and copying the script!" ”
"Well, I didn't expect to leave so many flaws for you." Leo said.
"You should be glad I can see through it." I say.
"Come on," Leo said, "aren't you nervous now?" It's time to go back! ”
"How long did you sleep?" I asked.
"Half an hour," said Leo, "I guess your family is having lunch." ”
"Let's go!" I packed up my deck chair, removed the circle, and retreated into the dirt, back to the surface, and into the wind, toward the village of Ville.
When I was a child, I felt that my mother's journey home to visit relatives was very long, but now I "walk" again, and I feel that it is just a blink of an eye, and I have arrived.
The village of Ville has really changed, but not as big as in the dream.
The barracks were not in the woods, but in the south where I had met Ian, and it was not that large, it could accommodate twenty or thirty men, which was very rudimentary, and the centaurs had only come near the barracks, and had not come near the village of Ville at all.
As for the training ground, it was not converted into a shop, but a few houses were built for those who moved from other villages, including grandfathers.
The goblins and trolls' shops are located by the river, and they are actually tents covered with animal skins, the size of which is similar to when the caravans came, the goblins are wrapped in thick animal skins to guard, and the white bears are keeping warm by lighting fires, and few people come, but the fact that the shops are here shows that the trading volume here is enough to maintain the long-term demand for stores.
The transformation of the altar is not as big as in the dream, but the spell on it has been redrawn and carved, which seems to be easier to resonate, and it is more convenient to collect the power of faith or something, as for the teleportation function, it is absolutely impossible.
The people in the village were indeed preparing for the festival in the evening, and they were all full of joy, but my family was really not happy.
It can even be said that the family is gloomy, especially my mother and sister, who are obviously a lot haggard, which makes me feel guilty.
They didn't talk about me as they did in their dreams, though—in fact, they've talked enough in so long a while that maybe the mention of my name is just a scratchy scar......
They prepared their own way, just like in previous years.
Grandpa's back is even more rickety, and Ian accompanies him to the altar for a walk, Patu does not come, and the two of them are discussing the festival.
Then, they return to the house, where Ian is making an amulet.
Ian's strength has reached the level of a trainee priest, but he is not yet proficient in using the energy cycle in his body, or he may not realize that he can use the entire range of energy, because he can control the amount of aether so small that he can only use one or two skills per day, and he doesn't seem to have many opportunities to use it.
Mom's sister and sister-in-law are preparing dinner for the evening, and my sister is indeed pregnant, but it is not as obvious as in the dream, and my sister-in-law is taking care of my little nephew to help again, and her hands and feet are sharp.
And the name of this little nephew is also on their lips all the time - Neil.
"Oh, Neil!" Leo said, "Where do you tell me to guess?" ”
Grandpa didn't quarrel with his grandfather, but taught Alan.
My story did worry the rest of the family, but it was an inspiration for Allen – he was very serious about his studies, and he had the perseverance to practice long-distance running, push-ups, and sit-ups back then.
This was very gratifying, but also even more guilty that my decision had allowed him to mature prematurely.
Although it wasn't as bad as the situation in my dream, I knew that it was all because of me, and whatever the deeper reason, it was something I owed to my family.
As for the villagers, at least for now, they are still simple and kind, and not as ungrateful as they were in my dreams—after all, that was only the worst prediction in my heart.
The children did change their training methods and had a lot of fun, and there were a lot of top-racks and wrestling, but the children in the village did show the behavior of bullying the children from other villages...... I can only sigh about this.
In the evening, the villagers began to prepare for the festival, and there was a priest in the military camp who was in charge of presiding, Ian and Grandpa were just escorts, and it could be seen that the status of the two of them in the village was indeed not as good as before, but there was no way, after all, the priests with the army were more powerful and more secure in presiding over the festival.
Surprisingly, Kavin actually came, along with Iru.
They did come here because this was the southernmost stronghold of the Minotaurs, but a considerable part of it was also for my sake, especially Ilu, who had no obligation at all, but she, as Kavin's fiancée, came here under this somewhat subtle excuse, and also showed considerable concern for my family, which touched me even more.
"Do you want to help him with the little two?" Leo said.
"You do it," I said, "I'm afraid I'll show my mark." ”
"No problem," Leo said, "You see, the general people of the hunting party in the village have awakened, in fact, if I had just come to devour you, the people in the village would have been upgraded a long time ago, and now this is the welfare of the belated protagonist's aura to the people around him......"
"It's not much worse...... I smiled wryly, "if they wake up then, the whole village will probably be even more uneasy." ”
The festival began on time, the barracks came, but the centaurs returned in the afternoon - they had their own homes, their own altars.
The trolls from the shop also came, all on the edge of the field, and the goblin merchants' white bear man bodyguards naturally came, leaving only the goblins to guard the store's inventory.
The ritual was the same as in previous years, similar to in dreams, but it was different from previous years, but in the end, there were no accidents, which made me secretly relieved.
After the end, the priests of the army also gave free treatment to the old, weak, sick and disabled villagers, but won a lot of favor, and Grandpa and Ian were further neglected, after all, they had not yet mastered such powerful healing techniques, and medicinal herbs and simple energy healing were not so effective.
The banquet began "again", and the army and the villagers drank heartily, but once again "inadvertently" snubbed my family.
I also kind of understand, even if my father and brother awaken, it is impossible for them to join the Bloodhoof Army, it turns out that it is because of me.
"It's good to be able to escape the reckoning and not be implicated by you," Leo comforted me, "It's better to have a grievance than to take revenge directly." ”
"Of course I understand the truth, but it's always uncomfortable." I say.
"Isn't my dream projection done in vain?" Leo said.
"It's still useful," I said, "at least I'm much calmer and have figured things out." ”
"Oh? Got it? Tell me about it? Leo asked.
"The festival you simulated is very similar to the real one," I said, "and the gods have access to the power of faith of the believers, the souls of the devouts, and the souls of the sacrifices through the altar, which means that they can only obtain telekinesis, because the four-dimensional sealing membrane separates matter from the ether. ”
"Huh, you've summed it all up?" Leo seemed a little surprised.
