Chapter 475: Memories of the Void (2)
Sora followed Aung into the so-called Knights' barracks, and Urfa followed Sora closely, and Aung led the two of them straight through the entire vast place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Along the way, countless small detachments composed of more than a dozen knights marched quickly in all directions of the camp, towards their assigned places for tasks or training, large and small training grounds were distributed on both sides of the barracks, sharpened out of the wooden stakes two by two crosses tied together and then placed side by side to form a wall, the field was divided into separate areas, the knights danced knives and guns, the snow light and shadow and powerful shouts echoed in this fenced land, and the sharp weapons were waved vigorously by the people in armor, hitting the almost chaotic dummies woven by the grass and trees, and the empty remembered what the bearded man had told himAccording to the details of the human torso organs and even the joints, the knights reproduced the structure of the human body one by one, and used it for their daily practice, not only the human dummy, but also the stakes in the shape of various beasts, and it has long been a common thing to train the beast into a weapon of war to assist in combat.
Although he still doesn't know the structure of the human body, but for the beast, the training of tall people has already taught him those fatal weaknesses, Sora got into the mood for a while, his eyes followed the position where those weapons fell on the stake, and he read out the parts that were prioritized in the battle, where to intercept the target's movement, which position to attack and mess up the opponent's balance, and what kind of attack from what angle to almost kill。
As he talked in his heart, the time spent with tall people was overwhelming in his mind, and he felt that half an inch inside his eyes, some organ began to heat up, and water was about to overflow.
Kekong told himself that he couldn't cry, he couldn't indulge himself in crying anymore, when men were with him, when didn't they remember to treat themselves with a smile, and now he is also in their position, he can't be cowardly, people who stand in this position must always bring strength to others by themselves.
Some truths are often understood in a certain moment, but at that time you have experienced a lot, you remember those, and you miss those, and the memories are blended into a moment of enlightenment, but time flies, those who let you understand these in the future, where is the end of the world now?
"Are you afraid?" Sora thought of this, and turned around to make sure that the kid was following well.
Urfa looked at the empty face, then shook his head quite forcefully.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I brought you, I sure will," the image of waking up in the carriage that day flashed in front of his eyes, and the bearded man chose to respond with laughter even though he endured the scars in his heart. Sora let himself smile, "I'll protect you, I know there's a lot of people here, so you follow me." ”
Urfa nodded.
A series of light roars sounded in the clearing on the right, and then blue-green brilliance intertwined and shining in the air, Sora felt a chill in his ears for a while, and then felt a cool breeze hitting his face, he glanced at Urfa behind him, but only saw that the face under the silver-gray hair was as expressionless as ever, and he didn't seem to have too many strange feelings like himself, in fact, these strange feelings made him not feel very comfortable.
"The training ground here is used for training magic, and considering the impact of magic, it is specially separated from the ordinary field, do you feel okay? I hope it doesn't affect you too much. Aung also noticed that the child behind him suddenly moved to the other side, his arms hidden over his body, as if to block the disturbance of something.
"Magic, my uncle taught me a little, but I didn't learn much, I don't know if he was a little disappointed in me. Sora's gaze passed through the gap between the wooden fences, and his mouth spoke, and his words seemed a little lost.
"Child, don't always think about things in a bad place, I understand my friend's character, he won't be disappointed in you, but he should feel proud, there is a feeling of grandpa looking at his grandson, magic is such a thing, put on most people, usually it takes until adulthood to be able to control magic smoothly," Ang said. Instead of talking about these things, think about the rest of your life, where you will be guaranteed three meals a day, where you will be given a place to live, clothes to wear, you will no longer have to worry about hunger, cold weather, etc., think about the carefree life you had a long time ago, and these lives that should have belonged will come back again, happy. ”
Sora stopped talking, but the expression on his face did not show happiness as Ang had said, but pursed his lips, as if he did not feel the satisfaction of what Ang had described, although that was the kind of situation that any child of his kind could dream of in this day and age.
In this era when the snow seems to be falling forever, Sora feels like he has to take the first step, but he still doesn't know how to go.
They stopped in front of a tent, which was generally scattered at the rear of the camp for the knights, and was no different from the rest of the tents in appearance and size, and belonged to the tents that could not be distinguished, but Ang, who was walking in front, turned back and spoke to the air.
"For the rest of the road, I want you to close your eyes. ”
"Why?" Sora frowned slightly in confusion.
"Because this last leg of the way to the destination is basically impossible to tell anyone in terms of rules, although you are still only children, I allow you to come in this time, but I hope you can listen to my request with confidence, close your eyes, and I will take you to the place safely," Ang Ban bent down and looked at the air sideways, and in a soft tone, "Leave it to me, okay?" There was almost no strong demand in his tone, as if he was compromising and humble to the other party from the same height.
Sora has always thought that those who are crowned with high-ranking positions are all high above the iron and blue and impersonal, like the anthropomorphism of rules and rights, but he never thought that he would be such a kind and peaceful old man, which reminded him of the bearded man, and the man who was once called his father, even if he was separated by a layer of iron engraved with green roses, he was still no different from ordinary people.
So when his hesitation was over, he closed his eyes as if he had secretly mustered up the courage to do so.
"Protect your stuff. Ang said that Sora could no longer see the old man's face, but when he listened to the voice, the image of the old man sketched in his mind was smiling, a smile that he tried to show but was sincere.
It took him about two or three seconds to understand what the old man was referring to, and he grasped the stone that had been put back in his pocket, and at a sudden thought of something, withdrew one hand and reached behind it twice, and finally grabbed Urfa's arm.
Ang's eyes then looked behind Sora and saw that the child, Urfa, had closed his eyes after Sora had closed his eyes.
"I'll hold you, don't be afraid of falling, this road is very early, but the aisle is a little narrow, and you may have to make many turns. Ang leaned over at an angle, placed in an adult, his height is also the tallest kind, not like ordinary old people after the prime of life cells and organs began to decline, there will be signs of shrinkage, as if the cells and organs of the whole body are kept in the peak of youth and prosperity.
Bending over like this, he put his hand on Sora's back, Sora felt a slight but solid force behind him pushing him, he knew that he should move forward, that force suddenly deviated to that side, he knew where to turn, and at the same time, there was a reassuring feeling, like you were walking in the dark to the point where you couldn't see your fingers, but someone would always show you the way and tell you that someone would be with you, so you wouldn't be so worried.
Ang looked at the road ahead, there were all kinds of traps, the guillotines hidden in the walls on both sides were always kept at the sharpest level, the moment the mechanism was touched, it became directly cut like hemp, and the bottom of the ground was actually a stone slab full of spikes, waiting to be ejected at the moment, there was a hole in this tent, only look outside, you will find that the size of the tent, how can it be possible to fit at least two or three times the size of the space inside, through all kinds of traps, stone balls, rockets, pits, these seemingly cliché traps are actually the most effective, in this era of precious resources, it is also convenient to build。
"Don't worry if you hear any strange noises, although we are a military camp here, foreign enemies or thieves will not let in, but rats, cockroaches and other pests we sometimes don't bother to care, you will hear, probably those rats that settle down are biting the planks, so from time to time to check whether there is any gap damage in the facilities everywhere, it is also quite annoying." Ang said in the empty ear and let out a self-deprecating laugh, "Are you afraid of mice, boys should not be afraid of anything, although there are exceptions, a friend of mine's grandson is cowardly, he himself is a hot-blooded man, always complaining to me about this, saying that he can't help his grandson change this." ”
Sora didn't hear anything, but Ang's joke broke the tense silence, they should have entered a place where almost no one was staying, and he felt the loneliness he had experienced, and knew that it was the most uncomfortable.
Sora couldn't help it, so he laughed out loud, the old man's entourage was a high-ranking official but casually complained about the place under his jurisdiction, although it was not a good joke, but it still made Sora sometimes laugh, he thought to himself, Urfa will not be so afraid.
"I'm not afraid of rats, what about Urfa?"
"No, not afraid. There was a small response behind him, and Sora reacted, but he rarely heard Urfa say anything or anything, most of them were shy personalities, and it was even rarer to take the initiative to speak, but at this time he still responded to Sora, probably knowing that they couldn't convey the meaning by shaking their heads and nodding their heads with each other's eyes closed.
As the old man spoke, they happened to pass by the running machine, and the words fell, leaving behind the three of them the soft sound of gear biting, and the sound was small and melted into the space less than one meter in diameter, and in the cracks of the wall, countless silver needles that were buckled in the grooves pierced the cold light.
Time was ticking, and at last even the air began to feel strange, did they say that they had not entered the tent, or had they passed some point further behind the tent, and he felt that they had walked a long way, turning left and right on the way, and there was still a labyrinth of places in the barracks? After all, the description of the narrow and winding road seemed strange in itself.
Gradually, he began to have an indescribable feeling, always feeling that something was throbbing in his body, like something that could resonate from a distant place, silent, but vaguely existed, and it was becoming more and more distinct, like a poet playing a silent but peerless movement in the distance, and his body was sealed with the only Bole, and the perfect phase called him at this moment.
He felt that they had unconsciously headed downward, into some unknown depth.
The feeling became stronger, so strong that he began to breathe rapidly, his pores secreted sweat, he felt the hand he was holding loose, and Urfa should have felt the sweat in his palm.
"Are you alright?" asked Aang.
"I, I'm fine. Sora was about to say exactly how he felt at first, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back, blurting out a forbearant "I'm fine".
"It's coming. ”
"Hmm. Nodding his head, I suddenly felt that Ang's words were a reminder to be mentally prepared to see something surprising when he arrived at his destination.
By this time, the strange sensation that had hit him had reached a peak, his heart was beating faster, and his skin was itching and commotion, it was not an ordinary excitement or nervousness, it was an indescribable strange phenomenon that his body responded to.
He could hear his heart pounding like a gong and drum, and his chest suddenly burned, as if someone had stuffed a fire in his pocket.
Sora couldn't bear it anymore, and the hand that protected his chest reached in and grabbed the stone that had become hot for some reason, and he almost couldn't hold it back, so he let go of his hand, but this stone, he couldn't let go casually, absolutely not.
"Here it is, open your eyes, my child. At the same time, the force behind him disappeared, and he straightened up and said.
Sora opened his eyes and saw himself standing in a huge space, surrounded by darkness, with cold stone underfoot, like a cave that had been excavated, a hidden scene in the world, like a mysterious treasure cave that was passed down in fairy tales, and the location of the secret altar that was exaggerated and fabricated in local mythology.
In front of his eyes, a huge stone pillar stood in the center, and the top of that stone pillar released an incomparably shining light!
The sides are illuminated, revealing the walls behind them, which are carved with various shapes and patterns that Sora can't understand, like an unfinished comic book, and on either side are built a giant stone divine soldier, or statue of a divine soldier, with a spear on one side and a sharp blade on the other, like a door god guarding the central stone pillar.
"This stone, too, is glowing. Sora looked at the thing lying in his palm a little sluggishly, compared to himself, this stone, is the one that really resonates, it emits an unprecedented light, it is the brightest and most dazzling moment Sora has ever seen, the same light as the stone pillar, as if it was born from the stone pillar and then separated.
Suddenly Sora understood that this stone should belong to that place.
"This is the place we have created to contain the mystery, look at the stone pillar, it is not the stone pillar that is shining, but the same stone in your hand, they were originally one, but now they are divided, and now there is a part of it, which has been placed on top of it," Ang patted the shoulder of the afraid of the air, "This stone is yours, and it is up to you to witness the final place where it sleeps, and you put it on it, pray for it, and let it sleep." ”
Sora glanced at Urfa beside him, and Urfa also looked at him, his eyes were not shocked, and then Sora turned around and walked forward.
This can be regarded as delivered, uncle, I have already completed the work you gave me, have you seen it?
I've got a good one, I'm going to help you.
