Future is right, they really don't get lost anymore. But what I didn't expect was that after walking into the depths of the forest, the fog gradually thinned, and when the white fog disappeared completely, the eyes suddenly opened up, the breath was refreshing, and there was a round sky overhead, and the light suddenly brightened a lot, and they finally arrived at Jianing City!

It turned out that those dense white mist and towering trees had been surrounding Jianing City, placing it within layers of barriers. The city has barely changed since the Napoleans left, and although the ruins are still dilapidated, there is surprisingly no sense of dirty abandonment. Yan Shu had already made all kinds of psychological preparations, guessing that the Jianing City presented in front of them might be a tragic picture full of corpses and bones. However, not at all!

The city is full of life, the air is filled with the slightly moist aroma of plants, all kinds of small wildflowers grow from the cracks in the stone path, the roadside is covered with green lawns, and the small trees in the corners stretch gracefully. Every now and then birds would be heard chirping, and then birds and beasts would burst into view from the treetops or corners, and watch curiously at the strange intruders with their wide, wet eyes, with no intention of avoiding them. The city seems to be overrun and carefully decorated by flora and fauna, without the feeling of overgrown abandonment, and the traces of the early years are almost obscured by the plants that grow just right.

Most of the dwellings in the city have red roofs, the color of the walls is generally very light, basically the primary color of stone, and the architectural style appears to be strong and down-to-earth, with a single-slope roof or a four-slope roof structure.

On the stone-paved streets, there is not the slightest trace of blood, and the city is filled with a clear and peaceful atmosphere. In the vacant dwellings, although the household utensils that had been destroyed by the Napolens were still lying on the ground, there was not much dust accumulated on the surface, as if the owner's family had only made a long trip and had not returned.

Along the way, I didn't even come across a single skeleton discarded on the side of the road, and there was no eerie and lifeless scene as I imagined, as if there had never been a terrible massacre here, which was gratifying and confusing.

In the distance, they saw a row of tattered flags, hanging high on the top of the palace gates. On the faded flag, the pattern of the hammer and sword intersecting on the flames is still visible. Naruto Kirito worships the god of fire and is skilled in crafting a variety of utensils, especially weapons, and the remnants of the colors and patterns on the flags are a reflection of the country's culture and beliefs. The belongings of the city have long been looted, but to Yan Shu's surprise and relief, the palace still retains the old appearance of his childhood memories.

Jianing Castle is close to the east coast, where there are many solid rocks that were once the quarries of Naruto Kiri. They chiseled the stones into flat squares and transported them back to Jianing City by river on a raft to build this imposing palace. One of the great features of the architecture of Jianing City is that no adhesive is used in the construction of the buildings or the main transportation routes. This is because they would carve the stones into several specific shapes in advance, and then build them into structurally stable houses or roads in a tightly interconnected way. The roof of the palace is also almost always red, and the only difference from ordinary houses is that there seems to be a light yellow coating on the walls under the eaves of the palace building, about half an arm's width apart, and I don't know if there is any special meaning or function.

After the plunder, most of the remaining large utensils in the palace were destroyed and collapsed, still in the same way as when the Napolelandians left. For unknown reasons, the Naborandians did not completely destroy the city at that time. It may be intended to be kept for later use, but it may just be destroyed before it can be destroyed and left in a hurry because of an unexpected incident. As for why he did not return later, it is unknown whether it has something to do with the legend of the ghost. In short, the true reason is now unknown.

Yan Shu sat on the steps in front of the hall, his fingers constantly caressing the stone steps at his feet, this scene made him feel both desolate and gratified.

Curious, Tiward walked around the palace and said excitedly, "It's as if it's been cleaned, it doesn't look dirty at all, and we can finally lie down in the house and sleep well." Since leaving Asmara, I have been sleeping in the open air, and I haven't felt this sense of security for a long time. ”

"I heard that after you left Asmara, you spent a few days with the Streamers in the Arc Lake Valley, so why did you always sleep in the open air?" said Kama with a smile. Perhaps because they had finally arrived at their destination, everyone's mood was noticeably relaxed.

"It's only a matter of sleeping in the open with the streamers, who haven't learned to build houses for more than a thousand years......," Tiward complained aggrievedly. When this young man was in Asmara, Modi was still a nobleman, and he also lived a good life, but after leaving Asmara, he went through all kinds of hardships, and he really held back the bitter water in his stomach.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Mo Di just walked over, shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and then said solemnly, "Streamers don't get sick, they can survive without food, can you? Remember, don't judge those who are different from us by our own narrow view." When you see them living in the mountains and forests, walking barefoot, you think that they are barbaric and lack wisdom, which is a mistake! The streamers descended from the sky, experienced thousands of years of war, and survived almost unscathed without the help of any weapons. They know everything they've seen, they can hear sounds we can't, they can predict the weather accurately, they have incredible self-healing abilities, and they have millions of years of knowledge in their memories...... They are clearly not some unintelligent savages, but a noble race far from what we can compare. We've invented a lot of tools, but it's also made us more and more dependent on them, and we can't do anything without them. The Streamers, on the other hand, don't have to consult the texts, don't need to rely on medicine and weapons, because they already have all these functions themselves. ”

Hearing Tacio's words, Tiward couldn't help but bow his head in a huff. He has always had the privilege of following the erudite and talented Tacit, and indeed has more knowledge than ordinary people, but because of his youthful vigor, it is inevitable that he will occasionally be conceited, and he will blurt out without thinking, although sometimes it may be just an unintentional move, but the Silent Truth, who has always been cautious and realistic, does not allow him to make mistakes in knowledge, so he will be so harshly reminded. Moddy is the best person in the world for him, his true family, so he can also understand Meddi's intentions.

Cama on the side saw that Tiward looked remorseful like a child who had made a mistake, so he hurriedly spoke to resolve the embarrassment: "By the way, why didn't you see a streamer?

Hearing this, several people looked to the future Sukaranna. Future thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know very well, but Jianing City is so big, maybe I live somewhere else." It's getting late now, and everyone is tired, so let's go and rest first. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, and Sang Wu hurriedly chased after him: "You wait, I'll go with you to find it, I can't sleep anyway." ”

Sang Wu seemed to be a little impatient, and his mood was actually not difficult to understand. When he escaped from Dulong and was rescued by the streamers, when he was seriously injured and unconscious, the streamers carried him all the way. That safe embrace, that pure and fragrant breath, dispelled the hatred that had pressed in his heart for ten years. He felt a pure and immaculate love from the streamers, which was not any worldly love, but a kind of cherishing of life itself that transcended the species. Only by the side of the streamer can he feel that he is loved fairly, and that kind of love can soothe all the pain in his body, as well as the anxiety about the state of existence, which makes him nostalgic.

Mo Di thought for a while, and quickly followed: "Are you going to find the streamer now? These days, there are so many questions that are constantly swirling in my mind, and I can't actually sleep. ”

"If you go, then I'll go too. Like a child afraid of being left behind by his parents, Tiward rushed at him like an arrow.

Yan Shu looked at the sky and persuaded him: "Now it's dark, Jianing City is too big, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, so it's better to look for it tomorrow at dawn, right?"

Tiward looked back, "Actually, it might be easier to find when it's dark. ”

"It's better to find it when it's dark?" said Kama, surprised.

Indeed, compared to daytime, the streamer is more eye-catching in the dark. Murdi said.

"Why?" Yan Shu asked, confused.

Mo Di smiled and didn't answer directly, maybe because he was in a relaxed mood, he rarely sold Guanzi: "Since no one wants to rest, let's go together, and when you see it, you will naturally know why." ”

After they walked out of the palace, they walked around the city for a long time without finding any trace of the streamers.

When he was distressed, Yan Shu suddenly asked, "Didn't you just say that the streamers are usually the ones who dominate the sky?" I just remembered that when I was a child, I often ran to play in the big garden behind the palace, that garden was adjacent to a large hunting ground, probably located in the northeast of Jianing City, and there was a forest there in the early days, could they be over there?"

"Are there any lakes or rivers in the hunting grounds?" asked Future.

Yan Shu thought about it carefully and said, "I don't remember it very clearly, but when I heard you ask, I felt that there really seemed to be a small lake over there, and the scenery was very beautiful. ”

"Streamers like to stay in a place near the mountains and rivers, maybe it's over there, let's go find it. Future said.

So they went back and went straight from the city to the back of the king's house. Fortunately, it was a double moonlit night, and although the light was not enough for them to have a clear view of the palace gardens, the old path was still lying quietly on the ground, not completely occupied by weeds.

"It's the first time I've visited the garden, it's really a palace garden, and I've been walking for so long, but it's not the end yet. There seemed to be a hint of regret in Kama's tone, the first time she visited the garden in her life was a night when she couldn't see the colors clearly, but fortunately there was still a chance later.

"It is said that the most beautiful garden in the Eastern Continent is the palace garden of Herilandi, where not only a large number of precious flowers and trees are planted, but also many rare birds and beasts, but unfortunately there has been no chance to see them. Mo Di said casually.

"Herriland...... Hmph, it's just a glitzy place. Future suddenly sneered almost inaudibly.

But because of the proximity, the muttering sneer still clearly reached everyone's ears, and they were amazed. For, as usual he usually had an awe-inspiring expression, he seldom smiled, and he had never had such obvious disdain, that one could not help but wonder if he had anything to do with Herilandi, but unfortunately, he did not satisfy their curiosity, and did not speak again except for that unexpected sneer.

Although he shared ups and downs along the way, Future Sukarlana was always as deep as the sea, never mentioning his past, and his friends knew very little about him. Judging from his appearance, he is likely to be of noble origin, after all, there are some obvious blood characteristics that cannot be concealed. But no one knew what his surname was, and no one dared to ask, and it was vaguely felt that there was an invisible barrier around him, which made it difficult for people to approach and not know. Of course, there has been a qualitative change between him in the past and him now.

In the past, once he encountered something that violated his own concept of justice, he would immediately jump out and accuse him, without hiding his indignation. Even though he has nothing and is under the fence, he is arrogant and has no self-knowledge. But when Honiah meets the Streamer, everything changes, and he suddenly realizes his narrow-mindedness and ignorance. After that, he began to learn to reflect, and began to try to stand higher and farther to observe and explore, and no longer self-righteous. After learning to think, my self-control skills gradually improved. Although he has become a little taciturn now, no matter how many unreasonable things he encounters, he can calm down, patiently figure out the source of the matter, and think about the solution, instead of always jumping out and criticizing others with a half-understanding as he did in the past.

"Ah......h

Hearing this, the future suddenly woke up from his memories, and quickly raised his eyes to look, only to see that his eyes lit up, and he was really a streamer!
