Chapter 249: A Clue
The old bloodstain ended squarely at the end of the stone staircase, but it wasn't abrupt.
Different from the gloomy tower, the top of the tower with a big hole in the wall is quite bright because of the sunlight, and in the gap of the broken wall, there are actually some tender green branches and leaves, which makes people have to sigh at the tenacity of the plant's vitality.
The top of the tower was empty, with almost nothing but scattered light.
"Here...... Nothing?" Mia looked around at the top of the tower, and in terms of dilapidation, this place might be the number one in this ancient battlefield.
A wooden cage with no door in the corner is the only strange place in the space. Mia leaned over and took in the scene.
There are a bunch of broken bones inside, which look like they are human, and because of the bright light, they don't look terrible, but a little too ordinary.
These forgotten towers are so strange that it is almost difficult to find any common ground except "all towers", so there is no pattern to follow in the scene on the towers, and you can only rely on your own exploration.
Su Wen also came to the cage and kicked the pile of bones with his foot.
Mia noticed that Su Wen's current state was obviously different from the state of searching for the top of other towers before, as if he knew that there was nothing here......
"You've been here?" Mia couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I did. Su Wen didn't deny it.
This is where a memory begins, and where I first met Ellie.
"Are you missing something?"
"No, I don't. ”
Again, after all, there is nothing here except these bones.
After answering, Su Wen didn't speak, just walked around the top of the tower, and Mia did the same, wandering around the top of the tower, looking for possible clues.
However, there is no such thing as a clue. After looking around, Mia simply walked to the side of the hole, and while holding the metal bird named "Nan" in her hand and playing with it, she enjoyed the scenery of the southern part of the Maleno Empire.
The mountains on Markway's side were yellowish dirt slopes, and on this side, all the way to the west, there were endless turquoise, which also made Mia's mood extremely comfortable.
"I was locked up in this place, in that wooden cage over there. ”
When Mia looked into the distance, Su Wen suddenly spoke.
"Eh, why are you locked up in this place? Who locked you up?...... No, you're so good, why don't you run out?" Mia was stunned for a moment, and then asked several questions one after another.
Su Wen probably didn't expect that he would actually talk to Mia about this, right?
Mia was intrigued by Su Wen's provocation, turned around and walked over, glanced at the wooden cage with basically zero restrictive force, and asked with some disbelief: "That's it...... Can I trap you?"
Just kidding...... Don't say it's Su Wen, even if it's a little girl who is powerless, with the bone fragments inside, she can cut off the wooden pillar and run out in a few days, right?
"yes. Su Wen nodded naturally and said, "You can treat this thing as a seal." ”
"Wait...... You're a bit out of the ordinary, you let me react first, and be mentally prepared......" Mia seemed to have a premonition in her heart that she was about to receive a lot of information beyond her common sense, and lifted her forehead.
Su Wen's unusualness has long exceeded Mia's imagination, but after getting along in the past few days, Su Wen's impression on Mia is not very scary, if it weren't for his almost complete power of the adventurers he saw on weekdays, then Mia would probably only regard him as a more easy-going dull big brother.
Mia carefully counted the peculiarities of Su Wen's body, but found that she couldn't count them at all for a while.
It's not that she hasn't seen a lot of money, but those money are all spent by its owners, such as the birthday gift to the eldest young master of Lord Markway, her father spent hundreds of silver, in addition to the value of the gift itself, there are other effects brought by this behavior, carefully calculated, that investment is very profitable.
But Su Wen's attitude of spending a lot of money was like handing over a restaurant discount coupon to a stranger, and when the stranger reacted, he found out that the restaurant discount coupon was a share of the restaurant. And the reason, is it because I listened to a song that is still good?
Second, Su Wen didn't show any special emotions even in the face of his father, just like a piece of wood; when an ordinary adventurer saw the bar owner, who didn't have a smile on his face? What made people think about it even more was that his father was actually polite to Su Wen, and it felt like he was talking to Lord Markway!
Later, he was able to summon a ghost war horse that existed almost exclusively in legends, and even rode it himself smoothly......
Easily broke through a tower of oblivion that humans need to pay a lot of money to clean, even if it is a diamond-level master, even that Eden, it is not so powerful, right? What's even more terrifying is that in just over a week, the entire tower of oblivion on the ancient battlefield has been swept by Su Wen, and the whole process is understated, without any sense of effort!
And he actually followed behind as a matter of course??
There is also the kind of ancient golem that can be transformed into a metal bird, and the remaining materials can be made into a set of armor that is not low at first glance, and it can live like a fish in the wild without carrying anything......
I thought that was all there was to it, but now I came up with a "I was supposed to be locked up here?"
Mia needs time to digest.
"Isn't it weird?" asked Su Wen.
The implication is that I didn't feel anything about it some time ago, so why is it suddenly unbelievable today.
"It's a little ......," Mia replied, "and it's strange to think about things together." ”
"I'm starting to think I'm not human?"
Mia's chick nodded like a peck.
Su Wen sighed and said slowly: "I can't remember how long I've been here, in fact, I'm amnesia." ”
"What you are looking for on the ancient battlefield is your memory? or ...... Something to do with your memory?"
"That's right. Mia's reaction made Su Wen feel a little relieved, and the communication between the two was not so difficult.
"But how did you get out?"
Su Wen did not evade, and told Mia unreservedly about his experience from the time he woke up to the present.
The return of Shirin's memory made Su Wen's emotions more and more like a normal human being, because of the influence of memory precipitation, Su Wen's complex mood also needed an outlet, and Mia became the object of his confiding.
And the touching scene of revisiting the old place also triggered a switch for Su Wen.
As the person to talk to, Mia is also quite competent, listening and asking all kinds of questions.
On the journey of sweeping the ancient battlefield, the roles of the two at this time were reversed.
"That is, you are a powerful human being who has lived for thousands of years?...... Or ......?"
The word God, Mia still didn't say it.
Markway was not a place where religion could spread, and Mia was naturally not influenced by idealism, because of the influence of her family and upbringing, she did not believe in the existence of God.
Or rather, just not believing in a deified God.
"Pretty much. Su Wen said: "After all, I can't remember ......"
Mia digested the series of information given by Su Wen, and at the same time thought about it repeatedly. This kind of thinking is not meaninglessly tangled in the mind about the authenticity and rationality of the information, but to scrutinize some of the details to see if you can find some clues from it.
While Mia was thinking, Su Wen also exhaled a breath of turbidity, and after talking, Su Wen's state of mind was also much easier.
There is still mental stress, which is the same as in humans.
People are strong in two ways, one is external strength, and the other is spiritual strength. As far as the first point is concerned, Su Wen is almost standing at the top of this continent, and as for the second point, Su Wen still knows how many catties and taels he has.
Because of the abnormality of the first point, Su Wen has hardly encountered anything with great mental pressure since he woke up, but after the memory gradually returned, this kind of seemingly nonexistent pressure still accumulated in Su Wen's body.
And in the case of more and more mental pressure, Su Wen's reaction is actually not much different from that of a normal person. Perhaps, it's just a little stronger.
So are these memories thrown away by themselves because they will bring heavy mental pressure to themselves?
Regarding the conjecture of amnesia, Su Wen has one more.
"That ......," Mia said hesitantly, "I think of a song......
Song?
"This song has no name, it was taught to me by an old woman...... It's a religious ballad from ancient times, but I've compared it to several current carols of the Cult of God...... "Mia explains, "The whole song tells a mythical story, I don't know why...... I think it might be you...... I'll sing it to you. ”
As she spoke, Mia cleared her throat and began to sing.
For a professional singer like her, singing with her voice open does not require too much preparation time, nor does she have the twisting of an ordinary girl.
Su Wen listened carefully, the rhythm and melody of the melody did not look like a song that Su Wen had heard, but he faintly felt something familiar.
After singing the first few words a little slowly, Mia took another deep breath, raised the volume and strength, and the scale rose at once, and even Mia began to deal with it seriously.
When the climax hits, Mia's singing voice instantly becomes powerful and powerful, and there seems to be infinite power in the not-so-hurried melody. The gold lines on Mia's arms seemed to be inspired and began to stir.
You know, this song isn't the way ancient voices are manipulated!
Su Wen understood the lyrics, which seemed to tell the story of a traveler traveling in the world. The lyrics have a strong sense of story and imagery, which makes Su Wen feel that the lyricists of ballads in this world will not forcibly write lyrics for the sake of rhyme, which is really great.
Mia paused, as if in an interlude, and then continued to speak, repeating the climax of the previous moment, only with the lyrics changed.
Su Wen suddenly felt like an initiation, and his eyes lit up.
Then, along with Mia's singing, they sang synchronously, but the lyrics were a language that Mia didn't understand!
Mia's mouth opened wide in surprise and she forgot to keep singing.
Su Wen continued to finish singing the bar, and then looked at Mia.
The two of them stared at each other, and then smiled with delight almost at the same time. The difference is that Mia smiled childishly, while Su Wen just smiled lightly.
But even Ellie hadn't seen Su Wen's happy smile baring her teeth.
"Do you really know this song?!" Mia exclaimed, in fact, in her heart, she still had a sentence of "I'm such a genius" unspoken.
Su Wen coughed twice, put away the smile that was a little too big for him, and explained, "Yes." ”
Because the song Mia sang was one of Su Wen's favorite songs before he came to this world - the classic of My Chemical Romance, "elcome To The Black Parade".
Although there were variations in the melody and the tempo slowed down, it did not affect Su Wen's recognition of the song in the slightest.
If it weren't for this extremely low probability coincidence, then this song must have been brought to this world by Su Wen.
Maybe it was sung at some time and in a certain place, and then it was recorded, and then it has been passed down to the present.
The lyrics are in English, so people in this world can't understand it, so they rewrite the lyrics for it, and maybe encounter some modifications on the way to inheritance, and it becomes the version that Mia sings now.
However, Mia couldn't provide more information. After all, the song doesn't even have a name, only the lyrics that record a story.
Su Wen probably knew that a few years ago, he helped a village solve the problem of drought, matched a pair of mandarin ducks, and led troops to repel the invaders.
I don't know why, Su Wen thought of the song "Northeast People Are Living Lei Feng", probably because the narrative technique of the song sung by Mia is very similar to that song.
Su Wen felt that the pinnacle of this kind of narrative song was probably nothing more than "Living Lei Feng" and another "Birch Forest". The song sung by Mia does not have the sadness of "Birch Forest", but it has a trace of the comfort of "Living Lei Feng".
"It's okay, this song is already good proof. Seeing that Mia seemed to blame herself for not asking more about this song, Su Wen comforted: "The matter of the ancient battlefield is over, and I plan to go to the abandoned village next." ”
"Oh...... Ah???h
Mia had just recovered from one incident of consternation, and in an instant she had fallen into another.
The ruined village?is the place where monsters came not long ago?Why do you keep drilling into the monster pile......
However, Mia's self-regulation ability is still quite strong, and the surprise only lasts for a few seconds, and then she accepts this fact.
The current situation can be said to be very contrary to Mia's original idea of "seeing the world", but it seems to be more interesting than the original.
Two ghost war horses walked side by side between the mountains and forests, stepping out of the territory of the ancient battlefield, which made Mia's mood much better.
"That...... Su Wen ...... "After walking not far, Mia quietly moved the horse closer to Su Wen, and asked a little embarrassedly: "That's it, can you sing the original version of the song just now?"
It turned out to be an occupational disease......
Su Wen nodded, and then began to cry wolf with incomplete tones.
