Chapter 49: Fellow Countrymen
After closing the door, Nuofei stood in front of the door, looking at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"What the hell is going on," Nofy said, looking at the ring on his hand [Tyre], "does that mean...... The one just now, is it actually an illusion? β
If it's really an illusion, then I shouldn't be able to see it. But if it's some kind of unknown spell, can the girl just now really cast it? Coronos asked rhetorically, don't think about it so much now, go to the office she said to take a look at the situation first, maybe you can get unexpected help.
"It seems that this is the only way to go." Looking back at the house behind him, Nuofei squinted his eyes slightly, if he could really perform it without Kronos even noticing, how terrible this person would be.
For Chronos' perceptual ability, Nuofei is also very clear.
Following the instructions given by the white-haired girl, Nuo Fei walked slowly to the front of [the dean]'s office, and there was a sign hanging on the upper right side of the door, which was quite easy to recognize.
"I guess this is it." Muttering a word, Nuo Fei stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and then, an old voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
When I opened the door and walked in, the first thing that caught my eye was a huge tree, three or four stories high, through several floors of ceiling, but even then I didn't see the sky, but the canopy of the tree blocked all the sunlight well.
I was able to see the inside of the house only because the curtains were opened.
"Ah, it turned out to be a little guest brought back today, it seems that you have woken up, how is your health?"
Nuo Fei turned his head and looked at the middle of the house, in front of the tree, which was three or four stories high, there was a table that looked fairly complete, and an old woman with glasses was sitting in that position.
"Are you the [dean] here?" Nuofei looked at her and asked.
"Is that the problem? What a vigilant child. The old woman pushed her glasses and smiled gently, "I'm the [dean] here, but it's not a big deal, it's just an honorific title that you have given me." But why would you be alone in such a place? β
"It's better why I'm here, I remember lying on the beach, enjoying a rare amount of sleep under the starry sky."
You really don't need to make a draft when you tell a lie.
Ignoring Kronos's complaints, Nuofei walked up to the old woman and asked seriously, "Why the hell am I here?" β
The gray light flickered in Nuofei's eyes, and the old woman who saw this suddenly sneered, raised her right hand and snapped her fingers lightly.
"Smack."
A huge blue ** circle spread out at Nuofei's feet, expanding throughout the office, and then forming a semi-circular shroud to cover the room.
Seeing this scene, Nuo Fei took a step back slightly, and the gray flames surrounded him, like a small whirlpool, surrounding Nuo Fei in the middle, protecting him.
"It's really unexpected, it's completely unprecedented, and the surging flames are full of life, which is really rare." The old woman stood up, her movements were not at all like that of an old man, "So, when did you recognize our identity?" β
"At first, although you look like an old woman to outsiders," Noble replied, the gray light still flashing in his eyes, "but in my eyes, I saw only a self-righteous little one. β
"Hey, dare to speak like this in front of us, it's the first time in thousands of years."
[The old woman] snapped her fingers again, and a blue magic array appeared in front of her, and with a click, it shattered like glass in an instant, dissipating into the air.
"You can see who we really are from the beginning, and it seems that your eyes are also extraordinary." A young girl in a blue kimono sits cross-legged on the table like an uncle, while holding a ...... in the other hand Milk?
Seriously, Nuofei has seen a lot of characters, even if it is a young girl who drinks, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of person who pretends to be mature and holds milk in one hand.
"So, what's your reason for bringing me back?"
"It wasn't us who brought you back, we just arranged you there." The young girl took a sip of milk and asked softly, "After all, we don't want to bring you back, because the dangerous elements are too great." β
Even if it was Nuofei, he was unwilling to bring these dangerous people back to his home, which was a dangerous act, although Nuofei had no other enemies in that world except for the Principality of Nuo Yalun.
After thinking for a while, Nuofei withdrew the power of existence around him, casually pulled over a chair placed next to him, and sat down.
"Hey, aren't you going to go to war?"
"I didn't think about it in the first place," Nuofei asked, giving her a blank look, "So, what the hell is this place?" β
The young girl took a sip of milk again, and then said softly: "It seems that you are not a very vicious person, so our family does not have to hide anything...... This is a forgotten place of the world, the first city to fall when facing the deep sea, and its name isβ"
"-- Nightingale City."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Nightingale City, this is not an unfamiliar name to Nuofei, historically, it was the first city to fall to the deep sea.
As for which country the city belonged to in the first place, it is no longer clear, the only thing that is known is that even now, this country is still under the jurisdiction of the deep sea, and it is almost fading out of people's memory.
As the first city to fall, it was attacked in a terrible way that was unimaginable before, and the whole city was bombarded with shells for ten days, and in the end, all that could be seen was ruins.
According to later statistics, in this meteor shower-like firepower cover, at least tens of millions of people lost their lives, and in the end, there were only a few thousand people left.
And Nightingale City has not been recaptured by humans so far, that is to say-
ββ¦β¦ Are we in the heart of [the deep sea]? Noble asked.
The young girl nodded, and said as a matter of course: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and dark under the light is always a saying that can stand the test." β
"But even then, it's quite dangerous here. After all, why are you still living here? β
"That's because ......"
The collapse of Nightingale City is largely related to the original politicians, it is because the original alarm did not sound in time, so most of the people died under artillery fire, which Nuofei also knows, but it is precisely because of this reason that the original government will be abolished.
"The people who live here are basically the descendants of those who were killed in the first place," the young girl sighed, put down the milk in her hand, and staggered her hands into her sleeves, "The shackles of hatred will constantly tighten everyone, and those who live here will feel it more or less except for the children who have not seen much." β
And these little children are only because of her help, so they don't receive that kind of hatred education, but when they come home, what will their parents say? She wasn't sure.
The chain of hatred is not so easy to forget, and the Fire Mist Warrior is, in a sense, also born of hatred.
But for Nuofei, becoming a Fire Mist Warrior is only for the mission, and although he has no grievances now, he can't understand the so-called hatred either...... People who have not experienced it will not be able to say something like "I can understand".
"Dust to dust, dust to dust, until the end, the truth is still under the flames......"
The person who said this was a fire mist warrior who liked to travel very much, and Nuofei had only met him once, and he had traveled with him for a while.
But the concepts of the two are roughly similar, but they are completely different in details, and they did not talk about it in the end, but this sentence left a deep impression on Nuofei.
And the current situation is a bit similar to this sentence, after all, the so-called government problem is now given by the governor is only an ambiguous statement, and he doesn't even know the main personnel or anything...... It's just a rumor.
Maybe the people who live here, even the people who want revenge are just a lie.
"That's pretty straightforward. But as you said, maybe it's just a trick to be tricked, and I'm going to have to keep it going for now. β
After drinking all the milk in the quilt, the young girl immediately adjusted her sitting posture, and sat down under the soil for Nuo Fei with a serious face, and then said, "Although I think it's a bit rude to say this, I hope you can do something for me." β
ββ¦β¦ Alas," Nuo Fei sighed helplessly after a moment of silence, and said to the young girl, "Let me listen to it first, if it's some dangerous commission, I don't want to do it." β
"No problem, it's not a difficult thing in itself." After breathing a sigh of relief, the young girl sat up straight and said softly, "Actually, it's a matter of food......
ββ¦β¦ Ha? β
"I'm embarrassed to say it, but we don't have many people here who can cook, and worry seems to smell the food on you, so that's why I ......."
"How the hell do you do it when you smell food?" Nuo Fei couldn't help but complain, then shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "I know, it's just a few days if it's no problem." β
"Thank you so much!"
"Alas......"
