Chapter 31: The Story of Hometown

The two camps were not far apart, and it was only half an hour's walk away, but it took Duck two hours to make a round trip.

It's not difficult to understand that the parasites are already quite nervous at this time, the relatively safe camp is the best fortress for them, and it is not easy to get them to leave the safe camp in fear to face unknown dangers, especially when they know where they are going, which is the source of strange events, when hundreds of people are missing, several people are so frightened that they can't even stand on their feet, and they don't cry on the spot, even if they are brave enough.

However, they also knew that these powerful knights were their only hope, and that the only way to get out of the wilderness alive was to follow in their footsteps. Therefore, when Duck showed that it doesn't matter if you follow or not, but those who don't come with you now will be abandoned here when they leave the wilderness in the future, and the four mercenaries hired by their own side are also on the side of each other, the parasites completely lose the courage to fight, and the leader McRae took the opportunity to persuade a few words at will, and the parasites succumbed to fate, trembling and leaving everything in place, only taking their belongings, and following the impatient knights who had been waiting for a long time, and embarked on an unknown journey together.

It took an hour to complete the usual half-hour journey, and the closer they got to the caravan camp that appeared in the distance, the slower these parasites walked, and many of them had moistened their eyes, holding the things of faith they carried with them, and kept whispering prayers, praying that the gods could save them from danger, and for a while, the team was full of despair and sadness, and if people who didn't know saw it, they would have mistaken it for a scene of murderous soldiers escorting innocent civilians to the execution ground.

Of course, the gods didn't bother to deal with these believers who scared themselves, and even if they were reluctant, these parasites could only watch the terrifying camp of the missing enlarged little by little, and the distance became closer and closer, and they could even see a man and a woman sitting at a table in the camp, playing cards boringly.

"This guy ......" Duck felt the blood vessels in his forehead pounding violently, not thinking about the fact that he would definitely join in if he was there, and scolded loudly, "Let me run so far, I thought you had something serious to do, and ended up playing cards here?"

"Guarding the camp is the most serious thing to do, and ......," Shul said, keeping his eyes on the cards and raising an eyebrow, "and that's all you care about?"

Of course not, the key question is, why do you sit at the table and say you don't touch anything in the camp?

"What's going on with the table?"

"Don't worry, this is from the corner, they haven't been to Ma Lian over there, and it has nothing to do with their disappearance. Xiuer said lightly, "It's also a test, well, while you don't come." ”

Needless to say, Shuer's meaning is already obvious, if you don't come, I won't involve Lisa when I do the test, no matter what the result of the test, Lisa will always be safe. And...... Feeling for the letter in her pocket, when she did the test, she folded it and put it at the door of the camp, so that even if she was in danger because of the test, Lisa could get out of the wilderness smoothly.

"Brother!" Lisa got out of the carriage, for the past two days, the girl has been doing what she does best, calming the hearts of the people in the team, and she doesn't even have time to get tired of being by her brother's side. Now it's finally another chance, even if she knows that hundreds of people have just disappeared here not long ago, the girl doesn't care, and she pounces on Shuer's side with a smile, "Wow, brother, your cards are really bad, isn't it about to lose?"

"Ahem, ahem. After a moment of embarrassment, Shuer stuffed the card into the girl's hand, pretended not to see the girl's bulging eyes, looked at the parasite team among the knights casually, pouted, and said, "It's really slow." ”

"You can even take out the cards, what else do you have with you?"

"The Lord said that even in the midst of heavy work, do not forget to use entertainment to regulate your mental state, and it is a virtue to carry entertainment props with you. ”

Tarina and the two children glared angrily, Lord Priest, you have tampered with the oracle again, no, this is no longer tampering, but a brazen fabrication!

"Isn't it true that you are always ready to go to the tavern to play cards and cheat a few gold coins?"

"Tsk, that's better than carrying the amnifolia with you, and holding the amnifolia to talk to a beautiful woman who feels good. ”

The fierce eyes met in the air, this is the most sacred cause in the heart, we must not tolerate the slander of others, for the sake of justice, come to war.

"Brother, brother, what is the intestinal membrane?" Lisa's puzzled voice broke the tense atmosphere between the two idiots.

"Well, this, good boy still don't want to know. Only for Lisa, Shuer didn't dare to talk nonsense casually, and said loudly with his eyes wandering, "It's all here, right?"

"Hey", snickering a few times behind his brother's back, the great Lord Lisa took advantage of Shuer's insight, and secretly made a rude gesture to Dark, as soon as the gesture was made, he also felt very indecent, and shyly hid on his brother's back, blushing and not daring to show his head.

"Fear not, everyone, the Aphotic Moon will always watch over you. Ignoring Dark, who had a collapsed worldview, and Lisa, who was blushing shyly, Shure returned to his original holy posture, spread his hands at his sides, and said to the parasites like open arms, "In the name of my Shul Wright, I promise you that as long as you obey orders and don't move at will, you will not be harmed here." ”

"This guy is serious again. Duck sneered in his heart, "In his own name, tsk." ”

Darkk knew the nature of Shur, but the parasites didn't know it, and in their eyes, a priesthood with graceful demeanor and a divine radiance could assure everyone in his own name that it was second only to the solemnity of making a promise in the name of the gods. Invisibly, the hearts of these low-level civilians have slowly relaxed, and of course, what is more important is his next sentence.

"If nothing else, today, well, today, you will be able to see those who are missing, and tomorrow at the latest, you will be able to set off. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a whisper erupted in the crowd, which was the best news ever, and the parasites had dreamed of hearing it.

"Huh, you've figured it out?" Darker thought about it a lot more than the others, and instead of being as excited as the parasites, he frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How are you going to get them back?"

"No, no, no, I didn't plan to look for them. Shuer's tone was full of mockery, not to others, but to himself, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood one thing, they don't really need our rescue at all." Why should we rescue them? That's because from the very beginning, we put ourselves in a strong position, and we always thought that we should be the rescuers. But what if we're not the rescuers in this story, and we're the ones who really need to be rescued?"

"What do you mean?" As a knight and mercenary, Duck has a straightforward personality and doesn't like these things that detour too much, so he asks directly, "What the hell is going on?"

"I told you just now, they're safe, nothing is wrong. Shul didn't answer Duck's question directly, but changed the subject, "It's okay if you don't understand, I didn't understand it as much as you did this morning, but now I do." ”

Not only Dark, but also the knights who were directly involved, everyone around who could hear the conversation, including the people of the Darkmoon Sanctuary and the leader of the two parasites, pricked up their ears and waited for Shure's explanation.

"Last night, I pondered what we had encountered in the past two days, and I always felt that something was wrong. Shul didn't disappoint everyone, and slowly explained, "It wasn't quite right from the beginning. ”

"The situation we encountered seemed very simple, the caravan was swallowed by the ghost space first, and then the next day, Ma Lian, who went to investigate, also followed in the footsteps of the caravan. However, in all the cases of ghost space that I can remember, there is not a single case where there is a mention that ghost space can still devour life after a certain period of time. Of course, this may be because there are no past cases like ours this time, and someone went to investigate so quickly, but this is just a maybe, judging from the data alone, the outbreak of the ghost space is often just a moment, and all the victims are inhaled at that moment, and there has never been an example of being inhaled again after the fact. ”

"For another example, the Warcraft that should have appeared around did not appear, which can be explained by the natural sensitivity of Warcraft, but what about the air? Yesterday and today, which of you saw a bird in the sky? No, I don't either. ”

"There are many similar contradictions, and I can't figure out why, until I remember a story from my hometown. ”

"It's my home world, the legend handed down from the last civilization, it's a fable, not many people know about it, but I've always found it very interesting. ”

"The protagonist of the story is a scholar, and he is a ...... Philosophers. One day he had a dream in which he turned into a butterfly and flew among the flowers. In the dream, he got rid of the shackles of his body and identity, and he flew freely and freely, and the whole dream made him feel unprecedented happiness. ”

"After waking up from the dream, he naturally changed back to himself, at this time he was full of confusion, and even began to doubt life, did I dream and became a butterfly just now, or is the butterfly dreaming now and becoming me?"
