Chapter 7 The fire will be extinguished
Ilda's voice echoed above the boundless desert, and then, as if in response to his call, the desert began to boil, yes, as if it was boiling, every grain of sand seemed to burn, and a dazzling light rose from the land, Ilda was still the same, wearing a shabby leather trench coat, with a sad and sad face, but in the eyes of the young man, something had changed silently, the man was still the same person, but his eyes became soft, and there was a light in his gaze, a clearly visible glimmerใ
It is the bright starlight in which the traveler is in it, the simple wave of the long river of years like the flow of water, the dawn of pity for the earth, and the sad and helpless glow of the dead and silent earth.
At this moment, the young man felt very clearly that the middle-aged uncle in front of him revealed a magnificent solemnity, and under that solemn light, there was a huge sadness like a tide.
The howling wind stopped, the flying gravel returned to the ground, the dead desert came to life, the light overflowed, and the pale canopy of heaven dimmed, unlike the eerie darkness of nightfall, which was for the fear of miracles, for the defense of the throne of the world.
The earth trembled, and the boy sat down unsteadily, his hands propped up on the sand, but at once, he noticed that the sand beneath him was flowing to the sides, and something was about to break through. A huge stone platform rose from under the two men, propped up the sand, and carried them into the air, standing above the desert, and immediately became the center of this world.
"The last remaining seat of fire," Ilda's voice directed the boy to the center of the stone platform, where was the sacrificial chalt, the corners of which were lit with pale fires, and correspondingly, a miracle appeared on the grail.
Different from the boy's imagination, it was not a flame, or it was not a flame in the traditional concept, on top of the Holy Grail, surrounded by a thick cyan halo, was a half-broken stone slab, which was engraved with many strange patterns, but no matter how the boy looked at it, he couldn't see it really.
"Is this the fire of this world?" Is it actually a stone? The young man's surprise at this time could not be described in words, but he remembered that this world seemed to be named the Rune Stone Civilization?
"This is the blue stone slab that records the creation epic," Ilda looked at the stone slab that had been broken most of it with complicated eyes, and even at this moment, a new crack suddenly appeared on the stone slab, "The rune stone is a magical creation engraved with the pattern of the world, and among all the runes, the most noble and noble is the rune stone engraved with the true history, the older the history, the greater the power, there were nine stone tablets that recorded the creation epic, and this is the last one." โ
"As you can see, even this last piece is on the verge of collapse, and the fire of this world is about to be extinguished. โ
"Extinguished...... What will happen?" the boy stared at the stone slab, truly realizing the difference in the laws of the world, and not being able to look at the things of other worlds as he was in the world.
"The flame of the traveler can protect the traveler from being lost in the etheric realm, the fire of the world is the source of the birth of civilization, when the fire is extinguished, civilization will also die," Ilda's words were low and flat, but the young man could hear the great sadness and unwillingness in those words. The most important thing is that in the etheric realm, there is not no life, those unspeakable horrors that wander in the ether realm, many of them feed on the world, and the fire is the source of the power that protects the world's barriers, and if you lose fire, the world loses its barrier, and it is exposed to the sight of the protists in the ether realm. โ
It is precisely because the fire will be extinguished that this world will be noticed by the terrifying existence, at this time the barrier is still there, and the unknown horror cannot really invade this world, but the fire is too weak, the barrier has begun to penetrate, and the terrifying life of the etheric realm can already affect the life of this world through the illusion, and this is the origin of the night aurora in this world.
Ilda didn't tell the teenager about this, because there are many things, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, and more importantly, even if you know, you just can't do anything.
I hope this decision is worth it, Ilda sighed secretly, in the glorious years of the past, the world of runes gathered elites from various world civilizations, each of which can be engraved with the mark of fire is one in a million, after layers of screening, and can look directly at the fire of the world, it can be said to be the supreme glory, the birth and burning of fire is a miracle of thousands of accidents, and the fire that stands out from the miracle and becomes the foundation of the camp is even more magnificent.
But it's not bad, this teenager. Ilda seemed to think of something, her sad brow melted, and she said to the young man,
"Go, go to it. He guided the boy to point to the sacred cup, the boy held his breath, and stood in front of the ancient stone slab hanging in the air, Every line on it contained a cyan glow, and the boy looked at the stone slab, as if there was some guidance in the dark, so that he reached up his hand and gently stroked the lines that seemed unreal, and the next moment, a huge cyan light burst out from the stone slab, encompassing the entire endless desert,
"In the land where history burns out, where is the new fire", Ilda stands quietly in the light, the form of fire in different worlds is often different, in the previous era, the fire of the rune world is not a rune stone that records the creation myth, but in the case of the original fire extinguished, in order to obtain a new fire, the people of the rune world drink to quench their thirst and put the history of the world into the fire as fuel, in order to seek the hope of rising again. It's a pity that they failed.
History burned out like firewood, the world lost the soil for the growth of travelers, lost the foundation to attract travelers, so the decline was out of control, and the last burned out was the nine stone tablets representing the creation myth, which was the first and last fire in the world. If no new fire can be obtained, this world will truly become the food of life in the ether realm, and all the glory of the past will no longer exist, and the eternal death will be in the etheric sea.
Ilda watched for so long, looking at the back of the young man in the light, as reverently as he looked at a slate, for he knew very well that it was necessary for a traveler to obtain a new fire.
Only a traveler who travels through the infinite world can have the ability to harvest fire in other worlds, although Ilda is a traveler, but he inherits the identity of a traveler who guards the world heritage, so he can't leave this world, and if he wants to let this world be redeemed, the only hope is,
New Travelers.
