Chapter 169: Prisoner
Tarrant doubted what he had just heard, "It's dark because he feels weak?"
"That's what it literally means", Kirawiton took a deep breath with open arms, "what else can we do with the rest of the time?"
Katrina looked at the stranger's back, "He learned our language, and his limited vocabulary can be used normally, that should be his true meaning, and it's strange that it's dark and weak...... There may be a word missing in the middle that he hasn't learned yet. β
The stranger leaned against the door of the cabin, his head against the wall, and Tarrant quickly supported him, his astonishing weight, extremely disproportionate to his size, more pressure than the energy punch of the dark elf.
&n*;"Will you still come?" asked the stranger.
Tarrant turned to Catrina for advice, and Catrina just shrugged, "Maybe it's coming." β
The stranger had difficulty walking, and with Tarrant's help, he walked to the bed, and the whole person collapsed on the bed.
"What's wrong with you?" Tarrant took his breathing and temperature, it was still within the normal range, there were no obvious injuries on his body, and the weakness came suddenly, "Kira Vetton, you better come and see him." β
The priest followed, "Are there any strange symptoms of darkness?", she checked the stranger's pupil response and heartbeat, and then pressed on a few muscles in her limbs, "If he is human, then I can be sure that he is hungry, and the weakness is caused by hunger." β
"No kidding," Tarrant lowered his voice, "he's just like us before dark." β
"I can't do anything about it", Kirawiton walked out the door.
The stranger closed his eyes, his breathing gradually calmed down, he seemed to get used to his weakness, and Tarrant could not do anything for him, "May Maxine bless him", he withdrew from the room and closed the door.
"We have gained a lot today. Discover a new species with a large size", Kira Veton waited outside the door, "and the rare case of black disease, these are great discoveries, haha, can be written into our legendary adventure story." β
Tarrant ignored the taunt. The stranger in the cabin has a lot of secrets on him, his race, his intelligence, his weakness, and even his incredible weight, almost as mysterious as this crystal world, "Katrina, do you remember the prophet of the business district, he can also steal minds". He recounted what had happened, "The prophet used his robes to hide his appearance, but I accidentally saw his skin, pale and black, like scales. β
Kira Veton rubbed his arms together, pimples forming all over his body, "Are these descriptions good for appetite?"
"Do you think there is a connection between the two?" the mage asked.
"I'm just offering a possibility, I'm not sure of anything". Tarrant sighed, "The feeling of being in a trance. β
Kira Veton raised her index finger. "There is an obvious contradiction, one is black and the other is green. β
Katrina paced back and forth, "I think...... No, I thought of something just now, a flash of thought. β
After waiting anxiously for several minutes. Realizing that there would be no conclusion, Kiraviton pointed to the peak and said, "Maybe we should go up and see what's at the top." β
"The whole mountain is full of trees, except for the wooden houses here," Katrina affirmed.
"Then you see what's in the crystal ball". The pastor asked.
"I didn't notice any other details, I thought it was just an ornament," Catrina recalls looking at the crystal ball, "Oh! I thought of it!" she suddenly raised her fist, "I understand that fleeting thought!"
"What's that?" Tarrant calmly anticipated.
"This cabin is part of the world!" Katrina excitedly pointed to the cabin.
"Yes, we all know," the priest wanted to pretend to be appreciative but unnaturally bored, "Great discovery." β
"Nicole had prepared this cabin when she designed the structure of this world, and the people, the people who lived in it", Katrina became more and more excited, "He is growing taller, that proves that he is not the original part of this world!"
Tarrant still didn't understand what he seemed to say, "So he's just like us, and he's imprisoned here?"
"Yes, but his status is higher than ours, there are no other creatures near this wooden house, only him!" Catrina looked back and forth at the two teammates, they didn't say anything, she made a ball with her hands, "This crystal ball is a magic creation object, what is the purpose of making it?"
Tarrant tentatively said his inference: "From the perspective of the ancient wizard, it should be to show off, the creation of a world is very great, and the purpose of the crystal ball may be to imprison?"
Kira Veton patted Tarrant on the shoulder, "I agree with this guy, it's definitely not for the sake of admiring a model of a valley town. β
"Yes, captivity, linked to this hut", Catrina spread her hands, "the conclusion is obvious, this room is for the imprisoned, in other words, Nicole made the crystal ball in order to trap him, and his existence zΓ i enriches the fictional magical world, whichβlike the glass bottle we use to trap insects." β
Tarrant thought of the stranger's frail face, "He's been living here for a long time," sympathy, and regret, "Will there be other trapped people?"
The mage shook his head, "Even if there is, they are used to being unable to change in the repetition of repetition, they will passively hide in the position where they wake up, and it is uncertain how big the world of the crystal ball is, and it can only be luck to find someone else." β
Kira Veton took out the jug and shook it, only the last sip remained, she tilted her head and poured it all into her mouth until the last drop fell on her lips before putting it away, "Nicole must have chosen him for a reason, we need to do it again." β
"Hmm," Catrina nodded, "teach him the necessary language, he knows the place better than we do, and can help us find the heart of magic." β
"Okay, meet here tomorrow", Tarrant looked up at the black sky, I don't know how long this repetition would last, did the three of them become insects in a glass bottle?
>
Kiraviton yawned and lay to the ground, "I'll go to town tomorrow to get some food, so you don't have to worry about me." β
Tarrant also lay down, talking about food that he felt hungry for, and that not eating properly for several days had almost exhausted his physical strength.
Catrina sat down beside Tarrant with her legs bent, "What kind of creature could he be, with such a high level of intelligence, superior to all known creatures", she tried to find some answers from Tarrant, but only to see a dull expression, "almost...... Almost second only to the God of Knowledge, where would Nicole find him, if he wasn't a single person but a large race......
The three of them each dreamed of their own scenes, quietly waiting for a new repetition in a state of silence, the ground shook slightly, making a "rustling" sound, Tarrant turned his head to see that the land outside the hut was slowly desertifying, "Katrina, Kiraviton", the hut was still quietly there, but the land around it collapsed downwards like quicksand, as if a huge spatial ring had formed underground and spread outward, Tarantra picked up Katrina, "The situation is not right. β
Kira Veton rolled over and stood up, "Get out of here!" Ten feet ago, the ground had fallen, and below was a huge dark space that swallowed up a qiΔ visible!
Tarrant grabbed Katrina and ran wildly, the "rustling" sound gradually expanded, and the woodland beside him fell into the darkness one after another, and the darkness of nothingness began to devour the black sky at the same time, the end of the material world!
"Damn!" Kirawiton unbuttoned his cloak and threw away the silver hammer to lose a qiΔ weight that could be spared, leaning forward and sprinting with all his might, "Damn!"
Tarrant couldn't speak, Katrina slowed him down, he could clearly feel the ground loosening beneath his feet, and they ran on the edge of the darkness!
"I can't do it!" Catrina gasped, as a huge crack in front of her ran through the mountain toward the town, spewing lava from the crack on the right!
"Hold on!" Tarrant shouted.
"Ahh The grass roots disintegrated and disappeared in the darkness, even the sound and air disappeared silently in the fall, Tarrant held Katrina's hand tightly, his consciousness could not control his fear, his lips trembled, the small power of life could not stir up a ripple in this nightmarish nothingness, he saw that the hut in the distance had also disappeared, leaving only the sleeping green man lying flat in the air, like a god above this fictional collapsed world...... (To be continued......)
