Chapter 1: Night
The early morning sun has a biting cold, shining on people's faces, as if forming a thin layer of frost. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The night quietly watched the sun rise, feeling the temperature of the face change from cold to warm to scorching. At this time, the sun is already high in the sky, emitting a strong light, and I don't know whether to bring warmth to people or to scorch the earth. Slow, heavy footsteps came from behind him, not stopping until it was very close to night. Night didn't look back, he knew that behind him was Wu Ke. An old man who is more than one hundred and forty years old is also the patriarch of the Bian Clan, and he is the person who has been in the Bian Clan for the longest time in the history of the Bian Clan, and he is also the oldest person in the history of the Bian Clan.
According to the children of the Border Clan, Wu Ke was a great sorcerer who had once seen the legendary undead. Ye believed that he was a holy magician, but no one could believe that he had seen the legend of an immortal man who was the same age as the world. In the words of the village elders - "That's a ridiculous statement, and it can just fool children."
Despite this, Wu Ke is still the most respected person in the Border Clan. Not only because of his strength, but also because he has given a lot to this village, and almost everyone in the border clan has received his favor.
Night looked at the sun quietly, as if in his eyes, everything was inferior to every ray of light that the sun emitted. At least that's what Wu Ke thinks in his heart, because in the three years he has been here, this child has never stopped every day, and it is here to welcome the sun for a new day, even if it rains and snows, or the sun is cloudy and he can't see the sun, he never gives up.
The sun brings blessings to all life and deserves to be revered by all life. But Night's extremely pious attitude made Wu Ke very curious. For there is only one place on this land where people can revere the divine source of life in this way.
Wu Ke thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Do you know, this world, a long, long time ago, had a very highly developed civilization. ā
Night looked at Wu Ke with amazement, although he knew that some inexplicable words often came out of the old man's mouth, but such an incredible topic suddenly came early in the morning, which was indeed incredible.
Wu Ke smiled kindly and continued, "It's just that then they seem to have found the wrong direction of development, and finally went to the path of destruction. And after that, it was the beginning of our civilization. ā
The night turned back and continued to look at the sun, not wanting to pay attention to the old man who occasionally talked nonsense.
Witch looked up a little disappointed, but the blinding light was too hard to look at. Wu Ke looked at the night with a slightly incredulous look, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, people who can look directly at the sun like this seem to be rare in this world, and even people in that place are very few people can do this. And the man who everyone once knew could do this, the man who revered and feared all people, is dead and no longer exists.
But the person in front of him can also do it. Maybe it's just a few years of getting used to it.
Despite this, Wu Ke always felt uneasy. He knew that his age was approaching the limit of his life, but the task he was entrusted to him still could not be completed, and he could not "sleep" at ease after all.
"If you know how to do holy arts, I guess you'll be very powerful. Wu Ke finally couldn't help it and sighed.
Night looked at him again in surprise and said, "What the hell is wrong with you, how can you say something strange." ā
Wu Ke laughed, "It's nothing...... It's nothing, older people always say strange things, and they say a lot. ā
From Wu Ke's words, the night also seemed to feel a deep sadness and desolation, as well as the loneliness that soaked into the soul. How Wu Ke could have so many heart-wrenching thoughts, maybe he couldn't understand, after all, a young man couldn't feel an old man's state of mind.
Ye said softly, "I don't know holy arts, and I can't learn them." Also, learning holy arts is of little use to me, so it's actually good to be so plain. ā
Wu Ke smiled reluctantly, and was about to say something more, but the voice of another person came.
"Night, so you're here. ā
It was a young man of the same age as Night, named Aaronke, who was the most prominent of the younger generation of the Border Clan. The elders also spoke highly of him, saying that his strength was already equivalent to that of an intermediate Holy Flame Master. In this village, he is also Ye's best friend, and Ye Lingxin is also his only friend.
People who are too outstanding are either revered or rejected by others! This is a very strange but eternal rule of nature.
Night turned around and smiled at him and said, "It's nice to watch the sunrise here, and I like to welcome a new day here every day." ā
Aronk also smiled and said, "You have such a good mentality, like a hermit. It's a pity, if you know how to do holy arts, you'll be even more powerful than me. ā
Ye smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, I also know holy arts." ā
Aronk smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be kidding, why don't I teach you how to use the power of holy arts." ā
Night shook his head and said, "I'm too stupid and too lazy to really like to fight and kill, thank you for your kindness." ā
With an "oh" of disappointment, Aronk said to Witch, "Chief, I want to hunt the Paladins. ā
Wu Ke and Ye were both taken aback, [Holy Knight] But only a Holy Sorcerer with very strong Holy Magic power has the strength to control a beast, with Aronke's current strength, how can he control the Holy Knight. Wu Ke immediately retorted solemnly: "No, your current strength is too weak to control those terrible beasts, if you fight with those beasts, you will basically be sent to death, not to mention, even if someone helps you hunt beasts, with your strength, you will not be able to control the other party, maybe you will be devoured by the other party." ā
Aronk looked at Witch again in disappointment, his face full of frustration, and even tears rolling in his eyes. Night comforted: "Don't be discouraged, with your strength, one day you will be able to control the Holy Horse." Besides, it is not a skill to get a paladin by hunting, and it is the real skill to ask the paladins to follow you willingly. ā
Listening to Night's words, Aronk couldn't help but laugh. But Witch's expression was strange, and he looked at the night suspiciously, as if to see him through.
Aronk said to the night, "Your words are strange enough, but you can't be blamed for not knowing holy arts, how could the paladins follow humans willingly. I think that those top sorcerers who have paladins must have fought hard and even had friends to help them tame their paladins. ā
The night seemed to want to say something, but she held back.
Aronk turned and walked away slowly, saying that he was going to train and that he needed to improve his strength.
Witch looked at Aronke's back until he disappeared into the woods before speaking, "You've been here for three years, and I never knew what city you're from. But I've always felt that you're definitely more than what you seem, and I never believed that you were just an ordinary person. Until just now...... When you talk about the Holy Knights, you seem to know the top sorcerers very well. As far as I know, a top-tier sorcerer would never let an ordinary person know himself so well, so ...... I just want to know, where the hell are you from?"
Night smiled bitterly, looking at Wu Ke's eyes, as if full of expectations, and with the vicissitudes of the years, he didn't know what Wu Ke was expecting, and he didn't know how long he had been expecting, and how many times he had been disappointed. He just softly spat out two words: Holy light!
Wu Ke's expression changed instantly, he looked very excited at first, then full of doubts, then shook his head again, sighed, and said, "The people of the Holy Light City seem to be all good at holy arts. ā
Ye smiled and replied, "Do you think I look like a person who knows holy arts?"
Wu Ke didn't know how to answer, but his heart was still like a calm lake being splashed with ripples, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. The City of Light - what a place to yearn for and fear! He turned and walked away slowly, looking at his lonely back, his heart mixed in the night, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He just whispered, "Three years, three years......"
Suddenly, he crouched down and pressed his hand to the ground, and suddenly, a faint light appeared on the ground, as winding as an earthworm. The corners of Ye's mouth just showed a smile, and his heart suddenly cramped as if he had been cut by a knife. Night hurriedly withdrew his hand from the ground, but on one side of his body, he fell heavily to the ground, and his whole body continued to twitch.
He tried to struggle to get up, but the pain became more and more intense, and the range quickly expanded, before he only felt pain in his chest, but now his whole body was as if he had been slowly cut by a blunt knife, and with fear, he felt his consciousness passing rapidly.
