Chapter 120: The Next Day
Dawa simply put down the roast chicken in his hand and slowly explained to the snow boy. As mentioned before, his ancestors, under the guidance of the Holy Maiden, came here far from home. But in fact, the Holy City existed here long before they arrived. Her ancestors didn't know whose city-state it was or why it was built. But they witnessed the miracles and the terrifying power in the Holy City.
The Holy Maiden told them that the Holy City was a legacy of an ancient lost civilization and a taboo. Once it falls into the hands of the wicked, it is a catastrophe for the world. So they became the chosen guardians, not only to protect the Holy City, but also to protect humanity.
Dawa's words stunned the Snow Boy for a moment. In fact, he has lived a long time, but he has never heard of any ancient ruins, any holy cities that can destroy mankind. But Dawa's appearance is so serious, without the slightest joke. The snow boy didn't know whether to believe her or not.
"And you know what?" Dawa looked mysterious, and said, "The holy city is alive, it will walk on its own. ”
“……”
Snow Boy thinks he may not have rested well lately, which is why he hears these Arabian Nights.
"You don't believe me?"
Dawa looked at Snow Boy with wide eyes, her Qiang mask taken off as she ate. So much so that the snow boy saw the innocence in her eyes at a glance at this moment.
"Well, I do, of course I do. It's just that I find it difficult to accept for a while. "The Snow Boy couldn't bear to say a word.
"Hmm, really?"
Dawa took a bite of the chicken, apparently believing Snow Boy's words, so much so that Snow Boy's heart was filled with a sense of guilt for cheating on the girl.
Dawa, of course, was unaware of his mental activity at the moment. I'm just talking about myself.
"Originally, our people were free and happy here, and there were no other worries except for the occasional help to a group of lost travelers. But just a few days ago, through some unknown means, a group of robbers learned the secrets of the Holy City, and they gathered many outlaws, equipped with advanced weapons. Constantly searching for the holy city in the forest. In order to stop them, our people have sacrificed many good guardians. However, it still couldn't stop them, and if the Holy City hadn't been able to move on its own, it would have already been discovered by them. ”
With that, Dawa lowered her head, and when she looked up again, Snow Boy saw tears in her eyes, and even more anger.
"Due to the heavy losses of the Guardians of the Clan, many young people have volunteered to become the new Guardians. I was one of them. Just yesterday, I just became a Guardian. From the moment I left the Holy City, I vowed to avenge the tragic deaths of my predecessors and to comfort their spirits in heaven. Then I met you, and then you know everything. ”
"But you said the Holy City would move on its own, what is the matter?" The Snow Boy was particularly curious about this.
"I don't understand why, the elders of the original clan thought it was some kind of magic. But as we came into contact with people from the outside world and learned more about things, we felt that it was more like some kind of mechanical force. But I don't know why the Holy City, no matter how it moves, is only deep in the primeval forest, never near the outside world. It's like ......"
"Like what?" Snow Boy hurriedly asked.
"It's like the Holy City has a mind of its own, as if it knows that it doesn't belong in this world and doesn't want to be exposed to the world." Dawa said.
"I have my own mind!"
Snow Boy repeated. In fact, he had believed Dawa's words now, and he had been peeking into Dawa's heart for a while. Although she felt sorry for her, Snow Boy wanted to know the truth. And it turned out that Dawa was not telling a single lie.
If that's the case, then the holy city will start to get interesting. Ancient ruins, great power, and outlaws who are desperate. It's like an adventurer's game, tearing at the Snow Boy's curiosity little by little. At this time, Dawa was also a little sleepy, and after saying goodnight to the snow boy, this simple-hearted girl fell asleep directly.
Looking at Dawa, who was sleeping sweetly, Snow Boy smiled, added some more wood to the campfire, and squinted his eyes. But he didn't sleep, but spent the whole night thinking about the source river and the bizarre holy city.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, early in the morning, Dawa got up. At the moment, I was asking about Snow Boy's itinerary. But the Snow Boy is here to find clues to the source river, how can there be a plan?
In desperation, the Snow Boy told her about some of the characteristics of the source river. In his opinion, Dawa lives in this primeval forest all year round, and he can know some clues about the source river. But to his disappointment, judging by Dawa's expression, she didn't know anything at all.
There was no way, the snow boy had to continue to use the oldest and stupidest method, step by step, looking for it from place to place. But fortunately, now that there is Dawa as a competent guide, she should be able to take a lot less wrongful paths.
The two of them walked a long way forward, and from time to time the Snow Boy said something to Dawa about the world outside the forest. And Dawa, three sentences do not leave the line, it has always been how the holy city is, how the holy city is. But it's okay to save the already curious Snow Boy the trouble of asking questions.
Suddenly, Dawara pulled the Snow Boy to crouch down in a bush and motioned for him to remain silent. I saw her watch for a while, gently raised her hand, and cautiously pointed in the direction of one o'clock.
Looking in the direction Dawa pointed, he saw a beautiful leopard lurking behind a bush, and it was locked on to a few proto-chickens not far away, looking for food.
"We are the guardians of the Holy City, and the leopards are the guardians of this forest. Their responsibilities are even more sacred than ours, so let's not bother it and let it do its own thing in peace. Dawa whispered in the Snow Boy's ear.
The Snow Boy nodded, and turned his gaze to the beautiful leopard. I saw it slowly moving forward under the cover of vegetation. From time to time, it stopped for a while, waited patiently, and when the chickens relaxed their vigilance, it began to slowly approach again, and saw that it was in the range of the pounce. Just as it was gathering its strength and preparing to leap out......
"Bah, bah."
Two gunshots rang out from a distance, and the original chicken flew hundreds of meters away in fright, before landing into the bushes and continuing to abscond.
And in addition to the leopard, Dawa was also shocked. The former stared regretfully in the direction in which the rooster had disappeared, and then looked at Dawa, who was also standing up, and the beast's instincts told it not to provoke this woman, she was far more dangerous than she looked. So, the leopard shook its body helplessly and disappeared into the woods.
"The voice is coming from the direction of the Holy City, it must have been done by those gangsters." Dawa said.
She looked worriedly in the direction where the gunshots came from, then turned back to the snow boy and said, "I can't help you find the source river." I'm sorry, my people need me, the Holy City needs me. So, I'm leaving. May you find the source river as you wish. ”
As she spoke, she bowed her head slightly and apologized to the Snow Boy. Then he sped away in the direction where the gunshots had come from.
