Finn kept pestering Link to ask this and that. Although the clichΓ© was Rono's instructions, he himself wanted to know the current situation of the original world.
Link asks him when he came over, and the answer he gets is actually 2o12.
"Didn't you come here when you were a kid?"
"yes. β
"But ......" frost and cold also came over ten years ago, but the era named after the rise of the dead has been scheduled for more than a hundred years. Could it be that the jet lag in the fantasy world also exists in the real world?
Link noticed that Finn's previous questions were all about current affairs, and he kept his mouth shut about his family, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
There was a moment of silence before Finn spoke: "My parents divorced when I was very young, and my mother always complained that life was too hard and often beat and scolded me. On the day of the crossing, I had a fight with her and ran out of the house in a fit of rage. It was already dark, there was no street light in the alley where we lived, and when something was wrong with me, I saw myself standing in the forest, and I could only hear the wolf howling on TV, and I was so frightened that I could only run towards the only light in the darkness.
"The eyes of the beast shine in the dark. Link couldn't help but complain.
"Ha~ I was too young at that time to think about this at all. Luckily, the light was in the village, and I was adopted by Rono, and I lived here for ten years. Strange to say, I still remember the tall buildings over there, I remember the details of the crossing, but I can't remember my mother's appearance, and the only thing left in my memory is her never-ending crying and cursing. Finn was given by Lono, which means gift, and he said that I was a gift from heaven. As for my original name......" Finn didn't say any more.
Link didn't know whether to comfort or envy him, and he didn't get along with his family anymore, it was his relatives after all, and now he could only remember by recalling those not-so-good memories.
"Ahem~ Let's change the subject, don't talk about these depressing things. "Finn has a great interest in the Exiled Lands.
"It was a fantasy that only existed in a dream, and my experience there was like playing a live game, where all the qiΔ were exactly the same as here, the only difference was the history after the end of the Silver Age, and I was in the tenth year of the Northern Campaign. β
"No, you misunderstood. Finn told SΓΉ Link that this side does not usually talk about the era in which it is located, and only when an era is over, will it be named by historians.
The Golden Age is the longest, because the age is too old, except for the immortal species, there are no documents of that period for human beings, and even if there is, it is not something that ordinary people can see. The Silver Age, about two thousand years or so, was the most glorious period of mankind, and after the rise of the northern undead, the chaotic human empire was brought to an end along with this era. The Bronze Age is the shortest, referring specifically to the rebellion of the princes more than 300 years after the division of the empire, and the remnants of the old imperial aristocracy do not approve of the premature end of the Tertiary by historians, considering it to be an ominous sign. Because there has always been a controversy, there has been no unified voice between the family and historians on whether to call it bronze or black iron.
It turned out that I misunderstood, and the era I lived in was not the Silver Age, but the Bronze Age.
While in the illusion, Link was busy unraveling Frost's identity, and his knowledge of Edgar was limited to the few books he read from the Guardian Lands, and he asked Finn about the current situation.
Finn sighed, "The situation is very bad now, you can see from here, the villagers are not very willing to touch the outside. Seven of the twelve princedoms were destroyed, and the remaining five formed the United Kingdom with Colk and Befast, ostensibly a single country, but in fact remained divided, with a parliamentary system and the election of an archduke as interim regent every four years. β
"What about the Natural Alliance?"
"Ha~" Finn sneered, "They have opened a huge barrier outside the Guardian Land, prohibiting humans from entering, and trespassers will be killed." β
Is the relationship between the League of Nature and humanity so bad...... After listening to Finn's words, Link didn't dare to reveal his identity even more.
Finn blew out the candle and asked one last question before going to bed.
"What are you doing in the Penal Lands?"
"Mercenaries. Link thought for a moment and gave a half-truth.
"So you'll have both hands, and we'll see tomorrow. β
Soon, there was an even sound of breathing around him. Link tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he thought about it a lot, and he didn't have much hope of going back. If he had been summoned to this world as a child of nature, the gods of nature would not have let him go until he had killed Shin Frost. Moreover, the time difference between the two worlds also made Link worry that even if he could go back, even if he only stayed here for a few years, the time on the other side of the earth would have been decades.
Inheritance.
silently read it again in his heart, but there was still no response.
Link couldn't help but sigh, do you still want to pick a fruit from the guardian ancient tree like in the illusion? The enchantment may not be able to stop me, what if I meet the druids and elves? As for the current relationship between the Natural Alliance and humans, I am afraid that they will be killed before I can reveal my identity.
It was almost dawn before he fell asleep, and after squinting for a while, Finn woke up Link.
"Hurry up! It's dawn. β
Accustomed to not sleeping, Link was so weak that he didn't want to get out of the bed at all. But when he thought that he was kindly taken in by others, he could only try to open his dry eyes.
After getting dressed, Link came to the outside room thinking that he was going to work, but Finn excitedly held two wooden swords, saying that he wanted him to show his hand.
Rono sat on the wooden mound next to him and smoked, and nodded when he saw Link looking at him: "This kid always wants to learn swordsmanship, since you know, just accompany him to practice, I don't have any work here." β
The head of the family spoke, and Link couldn't shirk it, he took the wooden sword that Finn threw and gestured twice, well, it still felt like it. Fortunately, the physical skills in the illusion are not as useful as the magic arts, although they are not masters, but they can still deal with it.
"Are you ready? I'm on!" Finn held his sword in both hands, raising it above his head.
Link used his most accustomed one-handedness, "Come on. β
Rono squinted at Link and easily avoided his adopted son's attacks, seemingly casual, but it was not simple.
"Rest, take a break......" Finn was tired and waved his hand to signal a timeout. He turned his gaze to his adoptive father, who was observing from the sidelines, and asked with his eyes, do you want to continue?
Rono got up and walked over to the two, "You're a mercenary over there?"
Link had already noticed the eye contact between the father and son, and he didn't break it, "Well, barely eating." β
Rono turned around and went back to the house to take out a short bow and handed it to Link, "That kid is hungry for meat, and I can't leave here, since you have been a mercenary, help get some game and come back." β
Is this a beginner's quest...... Link, who was following Finn, looked closely, and could vaguely find the shadow of Riverdale back then. For example, the long stone pavement underfoot, which was only available in cities in the Middle Ages. Well, the abandoned fountain over there is the center of the town, and the collapsed ruins, judging from the location, it should be the adventure union, and I don't know if there is such an organization here.
The other residents of the village still closed their doors and windows, and occasionally there was activity, and they also ran away quickly after seeing Link.
"I haven't eaten meat in days. "You don't know how backward the world is, even meat has become a luxury, and the bread here is so hard that you can knock a tooth out." And ah......"
Outside the village is a large area of dense forest, except for the once dry riverbed covered by dense vegetation, the terrain has not changed much from a hundred years ago.
"Are there a lot of beasts around here?"
"According to Ronaud, it was rare to see it when it was a town before, but since the druids in the Guardian Land went crazy, the originally docile animals have begun to attack people. Finn rolled up his sleeve to reveal a strange tooth mark, "Look, the rabbit bites." β
"Rabbit?"
"Hey~ You'll know when you see it. β
Finn led Link to the hills north of Riverdale, and he lowered his voice, saying that there are a lot of rabbits in North Hills, but be careful, not only are they fast, but they are also very aggressive.
Rustle -
There was a slight noise in the bushes, and Link grabbed Finn by the shoulders and pulled him behind him.
Although he didn't have the same strong perception as in the illusion, his intuition told him that something was coming.
A creature familiar to Link appeared in the grass, a rabbit, but it was several times larger than a normal rabbit, about the same as a wolf.
I didn't have time to think about it, the Linkla bow fired, like a mutated rabbit was extremely fast, and the arrow actually shot out!
The second shot missed, and in the blink of an eye, the rabbit rushed to Link and opened his mouth to bite his calf.
Link wanted to avoid it, but his body's reaction couldn't keep up, no, it should be said that the rabbit's degree was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he hit his calf, and the blood flowed profusely.
Finn, who had already climbed the tree, shouted at Link, "Get up the tree, their jump is three meters at most, climb a little higher and you'll be fine." β
Link threw down his bow and arrows, ready to deal with the incredibly fast rabbit with his bare hands, and when it attacked again, it would be his chance to strike.
After getting used to the rabbit's degree, Link managed to catch the big ears before it could bite him.
"Run. Coming down from the tree, Finn picked up his bow and arrows from the ground and retreated in the direction of the village.
Needless to ask why, listening to the sound of the rope not far away, Link knew that there was another group of rabbits coming towards him.
Carrying the prey that he had managed to get his hands on, Link dragged his injured leg and strode wildly, catching up with Finn in a short time.
"What is this?" shouted Link, carrying the rabbit that was still kicking his legs.
"Rabbits?"
"I've never seen a rabbit this big, and there's no such strange rabbit in the Penal Lands!"
Rono said that the pillars of the earth were polluted, so in recent decades, many animals have mutated. β
Finn's words made Link's face change drastically, the Pillar of Earth was polluted?!
