Long ago. (Book House)

He walked from mountain to mountain, and because he didn't know the purpose, he finally stopped under a tree, waiting to wake up and continue his "unspeakable" journey.

"Sir—sir, wake up, you can't sleep here. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a crisp voice in his ears, "What should I do if I encounter a beast on the mountain......

He opened his eyes, and although their golden eyes were dimmer than usual, they were still "dazzling".

"Eh—you're ......," she was amazed.

He looked up at the girl who had disturbed his rest, her red-orange hair was braided, and her eyes were bright and attentive, as if everything was unthinkable, and could arouse her curiosity.

The people of the east know that the Holy Dragon has eyes like the sun - they say that is the most beautiful thing.

It seems that his occasional slack has bothered the people who live here.

The holy dragon thought, wanting to get up and leave.

——

However, the girl was heard to continue: "Even Mr. Holy Dragon can't be so careless! Be careful—wow, it's terrible to think that the Holy Dragon will be eaten by wild beasts." ”

“......”

What a strange girl.

"Tetina?" Burry clasped his shoulders and watched in amazement as Tetina made a series of movements.

But she didn't explain any more, grabbed the holy relic and rushed down—

——

The dark shadow in the square stood silently in front of the altar, surrounded by a black fog - it seemed to be a Dark Shadow Clan, but it did not have the manic and uncertain aura of the Black Shadow Clan.

"Twenty-nine years...... Lineth ......" He sighed softly, neither at this time, nor twenty-nine years ago, would have thought that a person like him would have such a tone—nostalgic, regretful. It seems that this person is not him, but now it seems that he has never shown such emotions, "I will avenge you......"

Sand......

He heard the voice, looked sideways, but didn't turn completely—and at the same time stretched out his hand, and the black mist pounced on the comer, like a living beast—

Bang!

It was smashed in an instant.

"Tetina - if I'm not mistaken, that's the name. He still had his back to the woman who had arrived, and his voice was steady, with a hint of coldness.

Tetina frowned, not taking another step: "Wells—you dare to be here." ”

She rarely has anger, or rather, as an "ordinary person", she does not have that extreme anger at all, the kind of anger that can only be found after experiencing life and death—in her opinion, leaving her hometown, going to an unknown college, giving up everything she has, and fulfilling her duties are just some "life".

She is extremely familiar with life, and she is extremely incomprehensible.

"Do you think what I'm doing is wrong?" said Wells, looking back, his cloak and hood ununcovered, but he could feel the pressure of the turn of the moment, "and you have more say in this matter than anyone else." ”

Tetina fell silent.

"The notes I left in this hometown, the people who inherited my research, are you, the one who has no intention of touching everything—you should understand it better than anyone else, how innocent this power is, how meaningless those people are. ”

Tetina's hands clenched into fists, but she couldn't refute them.

That notebook was accidentally picked up when she was playing hide and seek as a child.

Old, densely written, countless conjectures, and all kinds of efforts to draw conclusions about it.

She was just an ordinary girl, a girl who couldn't communicate with the outside world, living in the small village of Philo - but by the time she got the notebook and began to understand those things, her heart no longer belonged to the "ordinary".

Even on the surface, she still has fun with children of the same age, and she is still trying her best to help her father, who is the village chief, deal with the affairs of the village.

The rest of his life should be to grow up gradually, marry Burry, who is known as the best character and ability in the village, and continue to manage the village until he dies.

......

But is that really the case in the world?

She was exposed to two extremes.

One is the ordinary world she is in, full of everyday life, and the other is the truth that she gradually gets written in the notes of Ben Wells.

"The world is an abandoned thing, everything is meaningless, everything is not to be cherished. ”

"The so-called rules are clutter bound to the mind, and they will have to be removed to get the truth-"

——

"Tetina - how do you, who have the pulse of absorption, face the expectations of those people. Could it be considered the Dark Shadows—or rather, you, who learned about my research through my notes—don't you need to think about it at all?" Tetina's thoughts "sobered" as Wells said, "This world is inconsistent. ”

Tetina couldn't argue with it, because she did know it all.

"So, do you really have a position to stand against me at this time?"

Life in the east is almost frozen, very few people walk in the mountains, and the roads are gradually degraded and covered with weeds, making it extremely difficult to move forward.

But there are people who have wind under their feet and walk extremely fast.

It was a blonde teenager.

It was actually his first time in the east, but with his memory, it felt very familiar.

"The top of the mountain over there......" whispered as Shure looked up at the top of the mountain—that was his destination, but ......

It seems like it's hard to get through.

Sand......

Just when he was still a little distressed, there was a rustle on both sides, and at first Shur thought it was a sneak attack, but suddenly reacted, these voices were very soft, and there was no intention to embarrass him at all.

So what is it......

The vines climbed up from both sides, first rubbing against Shure's trousers in a friendly way, and then rushing that way.

They recognized Shuer, the Holy Dragon.

Seeing this, Shuer's expression was a little subtle.

——

In fact, he didn't want to use the identity of the holy dragon anymore, and it wasn't just because he was "dissatisfied" with the status quo in this world.

But......

"Thank you—but, compared to me, it's the people in this world who are still trying even if they know the end is 'meaningless', and deserve such help. Shul said slowly, walking along the vines.

A conversation with the goldfinch flashed through his mind—

"Well, to the east?"

"Hmm...... Something from the 'past' should be visible. ”

"Why does Teresa think I must want to see it?"

"Even if you don't want to, you have the choice, and besides, you can go and see your mother...... "You should be interested." ”

Compared to his father's name, his mother was almost never mentioned.

"Her name is Lineth. "If I'm not mistaken—the name is in the east, and it means 'holy.'" ”

——

A legendary name, but it never seems to have been mentioned.

But......
