Part 7 Warden of the Exotic Starry Sky 39 The undead return to the place where he was born
39 The spirit of the dead returned to the place where he was born
A swift cold wind flowed in through the cracks in the window lattice, making Milo, who was lying on the bed, feel a little uncomfortable, and completely woke up from his deep sleep.
The consciousness gradually became clear, and the cold touch became more profound-
The light outside the window illuminates the furnishings of the house, and although it is an unfamiliar room, it looks particularly warm and cozy.
When I finally looked around, I wondered, "Where is this?" β
Unable to think of answers, more questions followed, and struggling to recall them left memories and consciousness in a mess - "Is this a lighthouse...... I should have fainted on the Watchmen...... Erin, Parrett, Kran, where are you...... Is this the afterlife......
I tried to move my body, but I found that it was very stiff, and as the blood became active, the touch slowly recovered. Subconsciously raising her right hand, Milo was surprised to find that her right hand was unharmed, moving her fingers in disbelief, although inflexible but functioning normally - "Strange, shouldn't it be crushed into flesh?" "It seems that I remembered something, and immediately checked my body......
That's right! He was still wearing the saber-toothed tiger skin coat, and obvious blood stains and cracks could be seen on the white edge of the cuffs, but the traces of the battle were obviously there, but the wounds were gone?
Getting out of bed, walking slowly to the bedside, trying to look almost far away, Melo finally saw the scenery outside the window: the bare earth, the dead trees scattered everywhere, the barrenness that stretched to the horizon and the gray sky were spliced together, telling the misery and desolation of the continent.
"It's ...... The world after death? I couldn't help but blurt out......
got an unexpected response -
"No, you're alive."
"Koran!?" Milo instantly realized who the owner of the voice was, and followed the voice to look at the doorβsure enough, Koran was standing there, or she had been all along, but she hadn't realized it because her body hadn't fully recovered.
"This ...... This is...... No way...... I should...... Lighthouse...... Ship ......" Milo's heart beat faster, her emotions stirred, and she said something incoherently.
Seeing this, Kelan slowly calmed down Milo with his kind eyes and kind smile as always.
Recovering from the shock, Milo sat on the bed with his hands on his face, sweating profusely, and after taking many deep breaths, he finally asked, "How are we still alive?" Shouldn't it be doomed with the space station? β
"Well, that's what I thought ......" Klan walked up to Milo, "but someone saved us......"
"Who is it...... Wait a minute! Erin and Parrett ......" Mello asked anxiously, trying to get up from the bed, but was stopped by Klan in time.
Kelan put his hand on Milo's shoulder and said gently, "Don't get excited, they are all alive, just like you just now, they are still asleep, please give them plenty of rest." β
Of course, Milo understood that Kran's words were not lies, and when he learned that Erin and Parrett were still alive, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart were a little less, he was no longer impulsive, and his reason slowly returned, and he asked the most crucial question: "That...... Who saved us? β
Kelan paused, stared at Milo with both eyes, and replied:
"Wind chimes."
Hearing the name, Milo was dumbfounded: "Tell me quickly...... What's going on? β
β¦β¦
Okay, let's start recycling all the foreshadowing.
It begins with Umi "The Dragon" Liu, who concludes with the promise of a "goodbye future" to his companions, and concludes with a visit to the tomb of Pala Dax in the royal tombs of the Dragon Empire (epilogue of Part 5). In the stone box behind the tombstone, he found a special book: The Complete Translation of the Manuscripts of Saknutsem. It reminded him of Parra's efforts to decipher a complete Sakhnutem manuscript (mentioned in chapter 21 of Book V), which was evidence of her accomplishment of this great goal. But on the other hand, because it would weaken the development of magic, the Complete Translation could not be made public, so she brought the secret into the tomb, as if she had foreseen that her former master would come here to take it......
Having received the Complete Translation (see the epilogue of Part 5), the Ways of Nature could not make it work as long as it should, and he remembered his daughter, the Wind Chime, who had frozen herself in the black buildings of the desperate desert, and as the greatest magician of his time, the Wind Chimes were a great addition to the Harvest, especially as the time drew nearer for the full-scale fight against the Harvest.
As Umi travels, he studies the Complete Translation and tries to develop a spell to break the "frozen" magic, and finally lifts the wind chimes and Lilith's frozen magic in the third month after the "harvest" begins......
With the last of her strength, Umi gave the Complete Translation to her daughter, hoping that she would use its power to fight against the "Curse of the Stars" with the people of this planet. After doing this, Umi rejects the idea of the wind chimes "resurrecting" him, feeling that he has lived long enough in this world that it is time to rest in peace with his old friends.
Wind Chime, who understood his father's intentions, did not use resurrection magic on him, and looking at his father lying in his arms, Wind Chime finally confessed his heart and accepted his father (see Chapter 16 of Part 7, the inner monologue in the middle is actually expressed by Wind Chime at this time).
On October 19, 1807 in the imperial calendar, Umi Ryu passed away in the arms of his daughter Wind Chime, where he had studied, where he had fought to the death.
After placing her father's body, Wind Chime immediately went outside to check on the progress of the "harvest", and she used teleportation magic to move Lilith to safety and assist the Splitter Imperial Army in the battle. During this time, Wind Chime was also trying her best to track down the whereabouts of Milo and the others, and finally she visited Ulf, the commander of the Imperial Army of Spellet, and learned from him that Milo and the others were ready to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the end of the "Curse of the Stars", and they were already halfway to the Watcher.
The battle against the "harvest" continues, and Wind Chime no longer thinks about saving Milo and the others - she has neither caught up in space nor time to act, and the battle against the nanobots in front of her is already exhausted.
Finally, that day came - on January 17, 1808, all hostile nanobots ceased to function and dissipated into dust and dissipated into the vast expanse. It was also on that day that the phrase appeared on the magic letterhead of the wind chime:
"I made it, Wind"
Connected to the reality that the nanobots stopped working, Wind Chime knew that this was the message that Milo had written to her with a magic letterhead that had been given to Milo by Wind Chimes when she was in Windrun Town.
At this time, Wind Chime has mastered the teleportation magic (mentioned in Chapter 39 of Part 3) using magic letterhead as a location, and she can use this magic to save Milo and the others!
