Chapter 148: Crossing Like the Wind

Monsters, the word is often used by people to describe those, grotesque creatures or beings. But as the term has been around for longer and longer, so has its use, and at first, the most primitive monsters have been gradually replaced by unknown creatures, other races, and even alienated people of the same race, and even people whose thoughts and actions do not match most of them. So this world is full of monsters, everywhere is a monster, everyone is a monster in the eyes of others. And people are gradually forgetting what the things that were originally called monsters are.

There may or may not be truth in this world, but regardless of whether there is a unified voice behind it, it is undeniable that there is a certain law in this world. For example, the sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom and bloom, and the understanding of these laws constitutes the understanding of the world, and the world in the eyes of most people is the world of such laws, that is, the world of experience. And the first monsters exist here, they are the destroyers of the law, do not abide by the experience of any human or dwarf or elf, they are born independently, they seem to be unaffected by the sun and the moon, there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter, they do not experience birth, old age, sickness and death, completely beyond people's understanding, so we call them monsters. Aleigh is such a monster.

"Aleie itself is a terrible monster, and even legendary heroes must rely on luck and the help of the spirits to win. But it's not the biggest part of the problem, what really scares Aleier is its own foreign body. Like a piece of fresh meat hanging from the eaves, jackals will smell and gather here. Aleie has the same ability, those filthy creatures, such as skinners or demons, will voluntarily go around Alei, and eventually form a storm that can destroy all tribes. "Nuisa knows more about the legends than Batu, after all, as the daughter of the wolf master, she does have more education and information than the falconer.

It's just that this information is also from shamans with a much longer tradition in the big tribes, and most of the shamans are mortals, so even if they are approved by the spirits, they are not able to collect information thoroughly, and after a long period of inheritance, serious knowledge has long been transformed into romantic poetry.

"Not exactly. Aleié is not a decoy, it is the source. After listening to Nuisa, Kairas added, "Like a storm at sea, the center of the storm is calm, but it turns into hell around it." Although there is no direct evidence, from what I have seen and heard, Aleie not only attracts evil, it also creates evil. It is said that the first skinners were inspired by Aleier and inaugurated the path of evil. ”

"The source of pollution... Cheese sighed softly after a moment's silence, having dealt with another being known as the Source of Pollution, a not-so-pleasant dealing. However, unlike that being, Alei's image and danger had gradually become clear in the mage's mind after the two of them had described it one after another. He looked up at the sky, and the clouds drifted slowly.

"Forget it, the Aleigh you see is alone, and there is no urgency to destroy it now. When we return Nuisa to the tribe, she can take the shaman and deal with it according to the way of the steppe. All we have to do now is hurry up and take Nuisa back, that's it. After saying this, the mage calmly accepted the confused and incomprehensible eyes of Atta, Batu and the others. In their opinion, the Grey Robe had decided to fight against the worms that had eroded Tianmu after rescuing Lothar, and now that he was facing Alay, he would definitely strike again. But Cheese didn't explain anything to them, just remained silent. The only person present who was qualified to question him was Lothar, and Lothar also did not speak.

Unable to find any useful supplies from the Silencer's camp, the team had to continue on their way. Behind them are killers who don't know when they will catch up, and living skeletons roaming the wilderness. In summer, the wind on the grassland seems to be getting colder, and the grass is not as green and lovely as before.

"At best, maybe the killers happened to touch Aleière on the way back, and they just happened to look into his eyes, so there would be nothing to worry about. Batu tried to cheer up the most depressed member of the group, Nuisa, in this atmosphere, but the latter just shook his head tiredly and said nothing. There are some things that do not need words to express, and what the falconer sees in the eyes of the wolf lord's daughter is not only anxiety, but more disappointment. She thought they were heroes, and he thought they were.

"Why don't you meddle in this? It's not quite like your usual style, especially when you know that it's going to be a big disaster. Lothar led Harold IV by the hand and walked at the front of the line with Cheese. The others, consciously or unconsciously, left room for the two men to talk, presumably knowing that only the Count could now get something new from the mage's mouth. After all, Lothar was the only one in the team who could be considered a friend of Cheese.

The mage looked at his friend, "I've been thinking about it, is what I'm doing really right? If we don't meddle in the affairs of the Shalle Department, and I don't operate on that child, you won't be pulled away by the worms." And the price may be the life of a poor disabled child abandoned by the tribe, life has an incomparable weight, but how do we know that our so-called salvation is not putting more lives on the scale of sacrifice. When I saw the worm wrapping around Amagi, I realized a problem. He probably didn't intend to destroy the tree. And the tree knows that, so while it seems to have helped me, that help is not a hindrance now. ”

As he spoke, Cheese picked up a stone from the ground and showed it to the Count, "We see everything and see the side we see, and so do I, though I may be able to imagine the side I don't see because of my knowledge or something, but we can't actually see the whole picture." There are connections between things, like the meridians on the leaves, and these connections, I am afraid that they do not appear in the world in a straightforward way, and some are even so complex and distorted that we cannot understand them. ”

"So what do you mean?" Lothar looked at the stone and nodded thoughtfully, he grabbed some part of Cheese's words, but he knew it wasn't all.

"Dealing with the evil gods from outside the world, this is what I am good at and willing to do. Dealing with the living skeletons on the grassland, that is not the work of the gray robe, the spirits have already selected their shamans, and the evil on the grassland will be dealt with by the justice of the grassland. We just happened to blow the wind here, and after the wind blew, the grassland was still the same grassland. Of course, this is not to say that I am not interested in what is happening here, but this is not something we have to deal with. ”
