After perceiving his strange thoughts, Huai Shi immediately gasped several times.

Fortunately, the Antarctic is air-conditioned enough, but no one cares about the increase in global carbon emissions by a few hundred millionths, just watching Huai Shi sneering in place, more and more like some kind of creature that likes to dismantle houses.

I vaguely heard a faint shrill voice in the distance.

"Seriously, isn't this human stupid X?"

"Maybe somewhere in human skin. A simple voice said, "I smell that he smells of a dog, especially like Asa." ”

"Where is it!" The shrill voice suddenly barred: "Asa is black and white, and his eyes are blue, why is it the same?"

The honest voice said, "That's what I think." ”

"You think, I don't think it's like it at all. The shrill voice said, "He doesn't even have hair, where is Asa good-looking!"

Huai Shi turned his head in astonishment, and in a vague trance, he saw a sleigh on the edge of the pier, a Samoyed and a Saint Bernard roaring loudly.

Dogs talking?

No, it was all of a sudden...... I seem to be able to understand what the dog is saying.

Huai Shi eavesdropped on the side for a long time, listening to the two of them arguing about the difference between themselves and Asa, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is Asa?"

"Ah, who called me?"

With a whimper, a fat husky covered in heavy hair raised his head from a dog bowl the size of a basin and looked around blankly.

Suddenly, the other dogs next to the sleds also argued.

Then he was kicked by the old man who came over with the goods, and suddenly stopped screaming, shut up and stopped making noisy sounds.

And the old man who had dropped the package on the sleigh had already walked in front of Huaishi.

So burly.

After wrapping the cotton garment, it looks like a small mountain.

The bare face was covered with chilblains and scars, and was exhaling a fiery snort.

The green eyes looked at the Huai Shi in front of him and nodded.

"Huaishi?" he asked directly.

"I am. The boy nodded.

"Well, let's go. ”

The old man nodded, and after showing his guide's certificate, he pointed to his sleigh: "It will take half a day to go to the front, and it may still snow." Have you brought all your stuff? If not, I can lend you one. ”

"Yes, yes. Huai Shi bowed her head, followed, and sat on the sleigh.

Immediately after the old man whistled, the well-fed sled dogs barked and struggled to pull up the sled. I was extremely envious of the Huai poems I watched...... I especially want to go down and pull two.

"After being freed from the weight of fate in a short period of time, it is true that such a state of over-vitality occurs, but this is only an illusion. It's cold here, and you need to conserve your stamina. ”

The old man took out a bottle of wine from under his feet, and also threw a can to Huai Shi: "You will have a long journey ahead." ”

"Huh?"

Huai Shi took it as if he didn't understand, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Noticing his dazed look, the old man took a sip of liquor and snapped his fingers—as if to dispel layers of fog in an instant, reopening the points that were deliberately shielded and obscured from his memories and consciousness in an instant.

It was as if a bolt of lightning was passing through the spinal cord.

Huai Shi shuddered for a moment, and suddenly realized, recalling the actions of the former KP sister sister, thinking that this bastard had shown it over and over again in front of him, he couldn't help but hate itchy.

And when I think of that Mrs. Sophie, I also feel a wave of weirdness and weirdness, I'm afraid that she and KP are the same existence.

And the old man in front of him ......

"You can call me DM. ”

The old man said calmly: "I am their companion, and I am also here for you, Huaishi." ”

"Why?" Huai Shi was at a loss.

"Because then you will be subjected to a test left over from the Ideal Kingdom. ”

"It is customary for our three creators, known as the Three Wise Men, to consider you and determine if you are qualified to take the trial," the DM said.

Only in this way can you be called a full member of the ideal country that is recognized by others. ”

"Huh?"

It took Huai Shi a long time to react: "This road is a test of the ideal country?"

"The test hasn't begun yet, Huaishi. ”

"Your trial won't be that simple – but you don't have to stress too much, because there's no standard answer to this trial, and everyone is looking for the same outcome," DM said.

Besides, now that the ideal country no longer exists, you should go through the process. ”

Huai Shi looked confused.

In fact, his head was wrapped in a hat and could not be touched.

Facing the cold wind blowing in her face and the wolf-like sound of the sled dogs, Huai Shi thought for a long time, and finally suddenly realized: "...... In other words, are KP and Mrs. Sophie testing me?"

"Almost. ”

DM nodded: "KP made a bet with someone, pressed ten dollars, and bet that you can't cross Australia safely." The requirement of ST is that you must win a hand from her. Huaishi, they are all people who are optimistic about you, they will not deliberately make things difficult, and they will not set up a threshold that you can't pass. ”

Hearing this, Huai Shi couldn't help but look back at him: "I think, you will tell me next, you are different...... Your requirements will be very strict. ”

"Yes. ”

DM bowed, "As you guessed, I'm very demanding, and I should say that I'm the most demanding of the three of us." ”

"So......" Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "What is the content of the request?"

"Don't worry. ”

The DM said, "You've passed. ”

Huai Shi is unbelievable.

"I ...... Passed?" he suspected: "When? Did I do something again?"

"You've been doing what I've asked for since the beginning, haven't you?"

DM held the reins of the sleigh in his hand, calmly drove the galloping sleigh, and walked into the pale and dark expanse in front of him step by step with Huaishi.

"I'm different from KP, KP just thinks it's funny, and you don't have to dig into it. Unlike ST, ST thinks that the result is the most important thing, and the process doesn't care. ”

In the gradually sharp cold wind, DM's voice came: "But what I'm looking for is not an interesting plot, or the final result."

What I like to see more is the approach taken by the gamers and the ups and downs they have been through......

I want to see adventurers, not superficial people who go into dungeons just for money, but people who embark on the path of destiny with dreams, ideals, ambitions, and even hatred or pain. ”

He said: "The adventurer I want is someone who will not bow down to reality - as long as you have such qualifications, I will not get in the way, Huaishi, you don't have to worry about me being as bad as KP, although many times, I am more unreasonable than him." ”

"If you meet the conditions I have set, I will not interfere with them. ”

"So, take this opportunity to take a good rest, get used to the environment, recuperate, and then start preparing for the trials you will face. ”

Huai Shi was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but raise her hand to rub her frozen and slightly numb face, feeling a jerky and faint pain.

But for some reason, I found the curvature of the corners of my mouth.

He was smiling.

I felt a faint sense of joy in my heart.

I seem to be extremely proud of the evaluation of DM.

He couldn't even react to it.

"In your opinion...... Am I an adventurer?" he pointed at himself with some suspicion, "Or is it better to be reckless as long as the head iron is reckless?"

"If anything, I have a slight remark about your reckless style, but this kind of thing barely happens. ”

DM shrugged calmly: "However, I think you may have misunderstood something." ”

"Huaishi, adventure is not a narrow thing limited to a desperate situation, it can exist in everyone's life, and the only way to open it is to be courageous.

It is the turning point that changes everything, but its essence and source come from the noble dream that is not willing to be ordinary and unwilling to be reduced to dust.

Whether this dream is noble or despicable, large or small, good or bad—"

He turned around and said to Huai Shi seriously: "After all, dreams are the most precious, aren't they?"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded for a long time, and sighed embarrassedly: "But in fact, I don't even have a dream, I haven't found anything until now, and I don't even have a clue about the direction of employment." ”

In this regard, the DM was unusually tolerant, just saying: "Adventure is something that lasts a lifetime, just a moment of confusion, it doesn't mean anything, does it?"

"What if I can't find it in the future?" asked Huai Shi.

"Then keep looking. ”

DM asked rhetorically, as if it were a matter of course, "It's just waiting and seeking, it's not painful, is it?"

"You can spend your whole life searching for nothing. You may soon discover that there are things in this world that are worth putting your life into accomplishing.

Perhaps with a little luck, he found something worth sacrificing for and died generously. Or, to put it more cruelly, you may have realized that you had lost many dreams and opportunities before you died—"

He paused and said earnestly, "But no matter what, I can be sure that your adventure and search will not be in vain, and everything you have done will be rewarded at that moment."

No matter how bitter the bitter fruit is, it is better than tasteless white water.

Even if it is unwillingness and remorse, it is better than spending a mediocre life. ”

A long silence followed.

Only the deep echoes of the wind and snow in the distance, and the scattered singing of the sled dogs, gradually disappeared.

I don't know when, Huai Shi finally fell asleep in the cold wind.

After a long time, he let out a long breath from opening his eyes, and felt that the whole person seemed to be much lighter, and his mood was calm and calm.

No dreams, no nightmares.

He just fell asleep, and when he woke up satisfied, he felt a heartfelt peace.

Even if it can't be called a new life, I feel a sense of peace of mind and no longer panic.

The sleigh has been stopped for a long time.

A few sled dogs were still arguing about the outcome of the speed contest just now, while the simmering food in the pot gave off an enticing aroma from the campfire lit nearby.

"Are you awake? DM stretched out his hand to greet him: "After eating, your adventure will start again, Huaishi." ”

"Okay. ”

Huai Shi lifted the blanket on her body, stepped forward, and had a hearty meal, then wiped her mouth clean, picked up her backpack, and prepared to embark on the last leg of the trip.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to in the next trial?" asked Huai Shi before leaving.

"Just do it the way you like, don't be intimidated, don't be afraid, it's not a big deal. ”

"What else?"

Huai Shi asked, "Is there anything else you can tell me?"

The old man next to the bonfire was silent for a long time, as if thinking, for a long time, and told him softly: "You have to pursue in your heart, Huai Shi, and don't slack off in your life." ”

He said, "Don't give up your life. ”

The old man's expression was so serious and solemn, as if the life of the young man in front of him was such a precious treasure.

He is full of hope and blessings for his future.

I hope that he can continue to walk on his own adventure path unyieldingly.

"I will. ”

Huai Shi laughed heartily, "Goodbye." ”

"Yes. ”

The old man bowed: "Goodbye." ”

Then, Huai Shi turned around, propped up her trekking poles, and walked towards the southernmost part of the world.

After taking a few steps, he looked behind him and saw a gust of wind rising on the flat ground, the snow flying and falling, and the campfire, the old man, and the sleigh were gone.

And I don't know when, the black permission card from Paradise has appeared in Huai Shi's hand.

It was glowing with a faint glow, echoing the behemoth that was sleeping in the darkness.

Then a violent wind howled from the end of the world, and in an instant, engulfed him in it.

When the wind and snow gradually stopped, Huai Shi put down the arm that was blocking him, and saw the huge building that appeared in front of him at some point, and the heavy gate that slowly opened towards him.

Behind the gates, I don't know what else awaits me in the darkness.

Huai Shi took a deep breath and slowly walked into it.

A line of pale green fluorescence lit up from the old screen.
