Chapter 40: He and She Are Things That the Brave Don't Know
Kaiim just wanted to ask for directions quietly, but he met a girl sitting on the edge of the bed who wanted to kill herself. Hearing Kaiim's strange shout, the girl turned her head in confusion, and at that moment it seemed as if time had stood still. The breeze outside the window slightly lifted the corners of the girl's pure white skirt, and the hair poured down the corners of her eyes, depicting a strange arc in the air. It was a girl who looked about the same age as Kaim, and Kaim didn't know what to say at this point.
"That...... I'm lost, can you tell me where my companion is? I think if you've been sitting here, you've seen them......"
Kaiim's tone was full of hesitation, and the girl in front of her just shook her head silently. Lowering her feet from the window frame, the girl's delicate black leather shoes made a crisp sound on the floor.
She was gone, and in a moment of Kaim's stunnedness, she ran away as if she had run away. Although Kaim was not a nosy person, the look on the girl's face at that time still impressed him to this day.
If it weren't for the difficulties in life that I couldn't get over, I wouldn't have chosen to commit suicide, but Kaim used to think that this world was much simpler, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. The Green Race is also the most affinity of the eight races, and that girl should be a member of the Green Race.
Kaiim suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of wanting to help the girl, and then he shook his head self-deprecatingly, obviously everyone ran away because they saw him, and he was still doing something about himself.
"Hey, you're here! Do you know how to follow us, it's really worrying! ”
Fetti's childish voice came from behind him, and Kaim turned to find that his companions were behind him, apparently after discovering that they were gone.
Kaim scratched his head with a smile, and after a brief conversation, Kayim returned to his companion, but the girl's tear-stained cheeks lingered in Kaiim's mind for a long time.
All the elves came to a room for each person, and Kaim still slept with Nina. Everyone's room is adjacent, and this arrangement is humane enough. Nina went to play with Maya, and Kaim was the only one left in the room, lying alone on the large and spacious bed. I wanted to sleep for a while, but Kaim couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
Suddenly, the surrounding scene began to darken, and finally turned into darkness. Kaim reached out and rubbed his eyes in confusion, realizing that it was not his own eyes that caused the darkness around him. All the light was converging in an instant, and Kaim turned his head to look out the window in confusion.
Is it dark......
There was a white-headed and black-headed vulture standing by the window, and when it met Kaim's eyes, its eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and then it flew towards Kaiim with its wings outstretched. Kaim screamed in surprise, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to cover his face. However, the expected scene of attack did not appear, and the sound of a man's laughter was heard in his ears. The laughter of Kaiim sounded in his ears, and he vaguely felt a little familiar. As if thinking of something, Kaim suddenly lowered his arm, and a man stood by the window in front of him. It was still a dark red jacket and a brightly colored dark green tie.
"I should have thought that such a bizarre prank is only for you, King Theseus."
Xius still had a hearty smile on his face, but his body was dry and thin, and it didn't look natural.
After a few steps and sitting on the edge of the bed, Xius looked at Kaiim and said indifferently: "Hello, Mr. Brave of the Elven Clan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Kaim also sat up from the bed, then rolled over and sat down not far from Theseus. Looking at this incomprehensible man, Kaiim pursed his lips and replied helplessly: "It's only been a long time, but I almost died in the Tower of Fantasy." If it weren't for my great fortune, you wouldn't be able to see me now. ”
"I do thank you for that, but that's the way it ends, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart, Kaim."
Hughes looked indifferent and slapped his thin palm on Kaim's shoulder twice, and Kayim bit his lip, but still didn't speak. After all, until now, Kaim felt that there was a possibility that Hugh's sexual orientation was abnormal......
A faint moonlight poured in through the open window and fell on Kaim's bed, reflecting the faces of both men as well. It's night, Nina hasn't come back yet, so I guess I'm sleeping with Maya tonight.
"King Huth also came after receiving an invitation from the Green Clan, right?" Kaim felt that there was a clear feeling of being speechless in his questioning.
In Kaim's script, at this time, Xius should have nodded yes, but the situation is a little different. Theseus didn't reply, much to Kaiim's stunned chapation. The king of the Nightmare Clan just squinted his eyes at the dark night sky outside the window, and there was not a single star in this night, but the crescent moon was left alone in the sky. Despite the proximity, Kaim still felt alone in the world of Theseus. That bleak gaze made Kaim feel a little uncomfortable.
"Theseus, what's wrong with you?"
Kaim finally couldn't help but ask, but Xiuth just shook his head slightly, crossed his palms in front of his chest, and said a bit of self-deprecation in his tone: "I didn't get an invitation, I, but the people of the Green Clan don't want to see the last thing they want......"
"Huh?" Kaim was a little confused by Hughes's statement.
Hughes stopped talking, and although Kaim didn't know the deeper meaning of Hughes's words, he stopped asking questions with interest.
The two men sat quietly in a dark room, only the cold moonlight scattered down, like the state of mind of the two.
"By the way, what do you think of me as a person? I was the one who first told the Orcs that the Elves had allied with the Demons, and I was the one who made Nova go to the rest room on the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Fantasy to ambush you. What do you think of me, who treats you like this? Kaim you, do you hate me? ”
"No, it's not annoying at all. I'm a newbie, an uninvited guest on this continent, and I don't know very well what the relationship between your various races is. Even if you do something, and Fitty and I are still alive and well, that's enough. ”
Hughes clasped his hands behind his head, his depressed mood seemed to ease, and he said leisurely: "I thought you were a funny person at the beginning, and it was not wrong. ”
"You, just look at everything to see if it's interesting...... I'm actually quite envious of you. ”
"Envy me?" Hughes looked at Kaim with a puzzled expression, but Kaim reached out and grabbed his bangs, looking a little changed in complexion, and Kaim blushed.
"It's the power of your Nightmare Clan, that's great, isn't it? No matter what world you are in, the most complex thing is the human heart, and you can manipulate people's feelings, and always feel that your abilities can create better things on this continent of Onix. ”
"Create something better...... Theseus smiled suddenly, his smile desolate, "I, every time I appear, I bring fear to others, and I have long regarded the abilities that our Nightmare Clan has given me as a pleasure. I'm trying to find interesting things on this continent because I'm not happy. I want to live happily, and it is very easy to be the king of a race. But my heart was cold. ”
"I don't understand what you're saying, but why are you here since the Green Clan didn't invite you over? I know you're here using your ability to control your senses, and with your intelligence, you should know that that's not what I'm asking. ”
"Because, you're here. You're here, I used to think that I'm not happy. However, there is a person who is living as unhappily as I am, and I am the culprit of all this. My unhappiness came from my own trouble, and I thought it would be okay to live like this in the future, but I just changed my attitude towards life. But now, two years later, that child is facing a great catastrophe, and I can't do it again. So, I want you to take my place and free her from her troubles, and that's what I'm here today, and that's what I'm asking you to do as the king of the Nightmares. I beg you to save that child, and I believe in you, I will be able to do it. ”
Hughes's voice slowly stopped, and Kaim turned his head to say something to him, but there was no one around. In an instant, the room was once again the only one left alone.
Kaiim covered his forehead with his helpless hand, to be honest, he still didn't know what the divine exchange with Xius just now meant, what was it. Of course, that guy can't teleport, he must have used his ability to make his body disappear from his sight......
"Hey, whoever you ask me to help if I can do it, I'll promise you, but you'll have to tell me who that person is, Theseus!"
Kaim shouted into the space around him, though he didn't want to make a difference, but he wanted to give it a try, in case Xiuth hadn't left. And more importantly, he is really confused now!
As soon as Kaim finished speaking, a faint white light suddenly shone from the window that was still open. Kaim stood up and walked over to the window, only to notice that something seemed to be faintly emerging from the window.
A young girl was sitting on the ground crying. Did she see something terrible, and the place she was looking at was in the direction of Kaim.
She was definitely not looking at Kaiim, so based on this remaining memory image, the person she was looking at was Theseus?
And the point is, the more Kaim looked at the girl sitting on the ground, the more familiar it felt, as if it was hanging in his mind, that is, he couldn't tell where he had seen it. It's just that that tearful face makes people look really uncomfortable and sad.
Wait, it's not the first time Kaim has felt this way today...... Where was that last time......
Kaim slapped his head suddenly, and the face of someone in his mind coincided perfectly with the face of the crying girl in the memory image on the window.
The girl who sat on the ground and cried was the girl he met by chance today when he was lost and wanted to commit suicide! Don't be such a coincidence!
In any case, Kaiim's gaze stayed on the window, keeping his eyes on the girl. That helplessness and fear were shown in front of Theseus. Could it be that Theseus really did something dishonorable......
For a moment, Kayim felt as if things were getting more complicated.
