Chapter 001: Time Dialogue
He ..... He..... Where did he go?" Sonny sat down on the ground in horror, the bottle in his hand falling to the ground with a thud, not shattered, but a crimson liquid gushing out of the small mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, get the bottle up, you idiot!" old Maud screamed.
"Mistress Maud, where did you turn Horn?" Sula nervously circled to the other side of the brazier, leaned over to look at the basin again, and carefully examined every nook and cranny, but found nothing. "Your Excellency, you're talking!"
"Don't look for it, girl, he'll go find the answer he wants. Old Maud bent down to pick up the glass on the ground and pointed to the bottle in Sonny's hand, "Boy, pour me another drink, hurry, hurry." ”
"What the hell is this fire?" asked Sonny, frowning.
"O treasure bestowed by the god Namu, the Earth Spirit Clan never lies. Old Maud walked up to him crookedly, handing him a stone cup the size of a fingernail, "Don't be rubbing, pour me a drink, or your friend will never come back." ”
"You've got to tell me where Horn went. Sonny took the bottle behind his back, his tone undeniable.
"It's a secret, kid. Old Maud raised a thick eyebrow and said.
"And how soon will he be back?"
"When he gets the answer he wants, he will naturally come back. Old Maud said impatiently, "Will you pour me wine?" I may warn you that without wine, no one can guarantee when the fire will be extinguished, and then he will not be able to return if he wants to. ”
"Master Mo," Sura walked back and crouched down, "I also have a question for Shenhuo, can you send me to find the answer?"
"A bottle of wine..... No, no, the price has gone up, three bottles at a time. Old Maud said cheerfully, "But I have to see things before this divine fire can answer your questions." ”
"I can give you money, you can buy so much wine with it, so much that you can't drink it all!" With that, Sula took out his heavy money bag, took out a gold coin and shook it in front of the old man, "Look, this gold coin is enough to buy two barrels of good wine, two barrels, not three!"
"I just want wine. Old Maud said stubbornly.
"There's no village out there at all, where are we going to buy it for you?" Sula put the gold coin in front of the old man.
"So, what do I want gold for?" Old Maud shook his head and kicked the gold coin away, "Next time you come to see me, remember to bring wine, three bottles of wine is a question, remember, beautiful Miss Human?"
"Can you let me meet him, then?" asked Sulla.
Old Maud raised his long, white eyebrows and held out his toothpick-sized index finger. "A bottle. ”
"Half a bottle," Sonny shook the bottle in his hand, "and if you don't, I'll pour it all out." ”
"Deal. Old Maud jumped onto Sula's shoulder. "Stand up, miss, and do as I say. Sulla stood up obediently. "Close your eyes..... CloseClose..... Right..... Now, let's take a deep breath..... Well, very good..... Jump twice on the spot..... Yes, that's it..... Yawn ....." Sonny giggled. "What an honest and good girl, I can't bear to play with you. ”
"Old Maud?" Sonny gestured to the bottle in his hand.
"Oh, okay. The old man sighed, "Come, miss, put your hand in and into the brazier." Sulla reluctantly complied. "Close your eyes and imagine what he looks like, his face, his smile, everything about him..... When you open your eyes, can you see him?"
"See! see!" exclaimed Sulla, excitedly, "he..... Who is he with? Who's that? Why ..... with Lord Kenny?"
"The one who can give him the answer. Old Maud interrupted her, "Try to talk to him, but only a few words, not too much, because ..... You only gave me half a bottle of wine. ”
"Wait!" Sula shouted suddenly.
"What's wrong?" asked Sonny.
"Stinky boy, don't talk. Old Maude shouted.
"I just wanted to ask you, are you okay?" asked Sulla, facing Shenhuo.
Sonny stared at the fire. The green flames kept jumping, but the dungeon was a fiefdom space, and apart from the open stone door, there was neither wind nor the slightest gap. "Sura?" he called softly.
"Pour the wine. Old Maud stood on Sura's shoulder, and the little stone cup reached out again.
"If you're stupid enough to lose sight of her, I'll soak you in the jar!" Sonny threatened as he poured his wine.
Old Maud laughed. "Then you'll have to give me three bottles of wine, kid. ”
The village of the Earth Spirit Clan is quiet and terrifying. Sonny and Sula followed Old Maude through stone towers to the end of the village. There, in the faint moonlight, Sonny saw rows of stone houses, seemingly built by humans, enough to house a thousand, but he didn't see even a single figure.
"You two, pick your own room to live in, since those stinky boys are gone, this place will be vacant. Old Maud said, pointing to the stone houses.
"You didn't build this house?" Sonny stepped up a wooden staircase, and immediately there was a creaking sound under his feet.
"Well, of course not. Old Maud scratched his head, "About ten, twenty, or fifty years ago, a long time." There was a boy in armor who came here with a large group of people, and I saw that they were pitiful, so I took them in, and those guys opened the mountains and chiseled stones, and it took a lot of effort to build these stone houses, but they didn't live long, and they all ran away, and they didn't even say hello before leaving, and one of the stinky boys owed me three barrels of wine!"
"Lord Maude, I'll bring you wine next time I come. Sura said with a smile.
"Although I have to admit that you are very kind, but you humans love to make up lies, or after so many years, those stinky boys, no matter what they say, they will have to come back to see me. Old Maude shook his head, "Well, get some rest, but don't expect a feather bed in the house." ”
After old Maude left, Sonny found a stone house with a wooden table, and he sat in his chair and pondered for a long time, his mind full of his mother's old face.
"Sonny, are you sleeping?" said Sula's voice outside the house.
"Come in. ”
The door to the stone house was pushed open, and Sula walked in. "You see, I'm not lying, there are really secrets in this world, and there are things that can answer questions, although he is not an elf, but Horn went to find the answers he wanted!"
"Sura," Sonny stood up, looking into her purple eyes, "you're going to stay here and wait for Horn to come back?"
"Or else?" said Sula, "and he'll come back when he finds out." ”
"It's been a long time since we've been away from home, and Horn doesn't know when she'll be back, not to mention my mother's ....." Sonny lowered his head, "You saw it last time, you should understand, right?"
"You mean, we're going to leave Horn behind and go back to the North City first?" she asked softly.
"For some reason, I always had a bad feeling as if something was going to happen. Sonny sighed, his gaze through the broken window, and it was pitch black outside.
