Chapter 9: The Farewell Banquet
This is not a city, although the filmmakers like the city very much, like the safe environment and comfortable life of the city, but for them, they are not suitable for the city, or the dangerous wilderness is more in line with their image and identity.
The dangerous wilderness, the demonic beasts grinding their teeth and sucking blood, the natural disasters that appear from time to time, these are the deadliest things for ordinary people, for the shadow chasers, they are as ordinary as eating and drinking, this is their world, their stage.
That's right, this is the wilderness, on a small hill not far outside the city of Roses, if you look up, you can see the lights of thousands of homes in the city in the distance.
A bonfire burned on the hill, the wood crackled and crackled, and the rising flames licked the food on the campfire, it was a sheep, its identity as a domestic animal could be seen from its body, and as for how the sheep came from, who knows.
In addition to lambs, there is also wine, beige ale wine is served in a huge wooden cup, which was originally used to hold fruit wine, and a full cup is a standard liter, which is used to hold high-strength ale wine, I am afraid that even a cow will be drunk after a glass.
But it's only the cow that gets drunk, but people don't get drunk, because the people who hold the wine glass are the best shadow chasers in the world, and they are all powerful warriors, far beyond the physical fitness of ordinary people, so that they are enough to withstand such a strong ale, and after a glass, they are refreshed.
Yes, the drinkers are all shadow chasers, to be exact, old friends who have fought alongside Shure.
A knight with a rose in her hand, a common wingman flapping her wings, a warrior with a topless scimitar, a half-human, half-beast, an assassin hiding in the shadows, a stout dwarf, a dwarf halfling, a red-haired necromancer, a blue-haired mountain elf, a bouncing forest elf, and a female swordsman snickering behind her back.
And, of course, the battle priest in black robes.
Shul Wright.
They are all old friends, they are all partners who have entrusted life and death, and in a month's time, everyone who can come nearby has gathered.
Of course, Lin Jing and the mountain elves do not have such a strong appeal, if it is in their own name, of course, it is impossible to gather so many partners, but Xiu'er has never lacked appeal, in the name of Xiu'er, even if they are far away, the partners will do their best to come.
It's amazing, even Xiuer doesn't know that he is so attractive, you say that I am a selfish gold-devouring beast, how can I have such a strong convening power?
Of course, no one answered him, not even he himself had time to answer such a boring question, everyone was busy, well, busy drinking.
Whispering, laughing, drinking, singing, everyone had a smile on their face, even the most cold assassin couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The grease drips down in the campfire, the fragrant lamb is cut piece by piece, the smell of salt and honey is mixed in the aroma of the meat, which makes people can't help but appetite, and then take a sip of the throat-slitting spirit, well, this is the feeling of being alive, this is the taste of life.
Just like a long time ago, every time I left the world of Shadows, I would take out the same interesting items and pass them around in each person's hands in turn, and while passing them on to appreciate and evaluate their value, we listened to the story behind the items told by the owner.
Where did this strange thing come from, what happened at that time, what was so thrilling, why did you leave it with you, each story represents a magnificent journey of life and death, and in every story, there seems to be the shadow of Shuer.
Sometimes amazed, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes nervous, sometimes laughing, everyone was happy, not only for the story, but also for this reunion.
It's the first time we've got together, although it's probably the last time.
The night breeze carries the unique fragrance of plants in the wild, it is very warm and soft, the person who blows is calm, the ale is very strong, the burner is agitated, holding the wine glass high, the atmosphere is getting more and more enthusiastic, even Xiuer, under the infection of the atmosphere, has lost his usual calm, gulps of ale, and his partners are humming unknown ballads.
Everyone was excited, although everyone knew equally well in their hearts that this was not an ordinary party, it was Shuer's farewell party.
Saying goodbye today may be a farewell, and maybe we will never see each other again in the future, because ...... Maybe he's going to die.
Everyone has their own status in their respective groups, and they also have their own channels of information, know the secrets behind the current situation, and know the crisis that Pavatiga is facing, so after knowing what Shur is going to do, everyone understands in their hearts how important this matter is, and of course, how dangerous this uncertain task is.
yes, quite dangerous.
The mission didn't sound like much, entering Mistress Kaeya's dreams until she woke up from them. There is no purpose, no requirements, it seems so simple, but the crisis contained in it is simply unimaginable.
Every living being in Pavatiga is actually living in the dream of the creator god, facing the threat of the creation god waking up, and if you think about it, it is almost exactly the same situation that Shur will face, and in Pavatiga, no, or should it be said that in the entire world of the twisted void, countless beings, countless gods, are struggling, working together to survive.
In the same situation, Shuer was isolated and had to face it alone, although he had the will of the world, that is, the convenience provided by Lord Kaeya, but the difficulty was still amazing.
His only recourse, perhaps other than the convenience provided by Lord Kaeya, was his identity.
Yes, his body did not enter the dream realm, it was only the spirit body, and he still had a direct connection with the body outside the dream realm, so theoretically even if the attempt failed, until Lord Kaeya woke up and did not find a safe solution, he might not return to nothingness like everything that twisted the void, and maybe he would come back alive.
But this is just a theory, and no one can be sure if this is the case.
Most of the time it's not that simple, even if his body doesn't die, there is a high possibility that his spirit body will be assimilated by the awakened Lord Kaeya and become a walking corpse, which is probably a more difficult reality for Shure to accept than death.
Therefore, both Kaeya, the Mother of the Earth, and Shure herself, put this attempt last, and must make all other attempts, and must arrange everything before carrying out this final step, because the possibility of death is too high.
These things were clear to everyone present, but even so, the atmosphere was still exciting and intense, not like a farewell banquet, but more like a celebration.
It's like friends celebrating Shure's death together.
