Chapter Seventy-Seven: Silent Hill
Seeing that One-Eyed and the others were slowly approaching, Alice quickly ran up a cliff and shouted, "Don't come here, I'll jump if I come again, I won't go back anyway." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
One-eyed Zhengse said: "You little girl, it's dangerous to run around outside alone, so let's go home quickly." ”
"No, I don't have a mother, and I don't have a home. ”
"People always have to grow up, your mother can't accompany you for a lifetime, you always have to take a step to grow up. In other words, you can live without your mother, but you can't live without your home. ”
Mira patted One-Eye's shoulder: "I didn't expect One-Eye to be able to say such philosophical words now, I am very relieved." Actually, my mother died very young, but I never didn't go home. ”
"I was sent to church when I was a child, and I don't even remember what my mother looked like. ”
No matter how hard Mila persuaded them, from the molecular structure of the virus to the Andromeda nebula ring, Alice just held the dagger tightly and refused to come down from the cliff, the mountain wind was cold at night, and the little girl's lips were a little blue.
Fastlegs laughed: "You are all a bunch of rubbish, so many people have been fooled by her." ”
Mira said hatefully: "You can do it, don't brag if you can't do it." ”
"I'm up, I'm up. Quickly walked to the bottom of the cliff: "Little girl, I'm not here to persuade you to go back, but my dagger is in your hand, if you don't hold it steady and fall down, you can't find it." You must know that my dagger is known as the blade of goodness, and I have never seen blood, and it has been dependent on me for so many years, so don't let me send a white-haired person to a black-haired person today. ”
Alice laughed at his words, and immediately came to her senses again, glaring at Quickleg viciously.
Fast legs didn't care, and continued to say slowly: "Little girl, do you know how your grandmother, the Bright Moon Sword Saint, died?"
Alice was immediately intrigued: "I, I heard that my grandmother was killed by the Lord of Death. ”
"Well, in principle, there is nothing wrong with saying this, but the situation at that time was much more complicated, and I have seen the whole thing with my own eyes, so let me tell you in detail. ”
Fast Legs retold all the circumstances on the public trial table at that time, especially highlighting the glorious image of the Bright Moon Sword Saint sacrificing his life and taking righteousness, not only made Alice teary-eyed, but even Mira's eyes were a little moist.
Fast legs said: "Now that you are the only living relative of the Bright Moon Sword Saint, you don't want to practice your skills hard to avenge her, but you only dare to hold a dagger to your throat, what will your grandmother think if she sees it?"
Alice suddenly let out a cry of sorrow: "I, even if I practice hard all my life, I will not be the opponent of the Lord of Death." ”
"Lord of Death......" quickly shuddered: "That is a non-human, we will not talk about it." However, many other people are also at fault for your grandmother's death, such as the great thief of Lizaram who put all the blame on your grandmother, and the others who stood by and watched from the public trial table, a few bishops and nobles, and even a few of them, such as Mira and the beckoning cat. Secretly tell you, most of our skeleton mercenary group was there at the time, you must practice your skills hard, and when you grow up, catch all these guys, chop them up and feed them to the dogs, which is the true nature of a chivalrous woman. ”
Alice thought carefully for a while and put the dagger away: "What you said makes sense, I can't die so easily, I must chop you all up and feed them to the dogs to avenge my grandmother." ”
Seeing Alice slowly walking down from the cliff, she said proudly: "Look, it's useless for so many of you to persuade you, you still want my old man to go out." ”
The others all had disgusted expressions on their faces: "We don't think you can say such meaty things." ”
Alice finally agrees to return to the city with Mira, but only on the condition that she stay with the mercenary group and not return to her father's house as a building materials merchant. Mira said suspiciously: "You don't want to take advantage of my inattention to do black hands on me, right?" Alice seemed to think a lot, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your dog's head will be on your neck for the time being, and Miss Ben will come to take your dog's life when she is successful." ”
At this time, the moon was dark and the stars were scarce, and there was no figure on all sides, and the twin-tailed scorpion stood on the slope and observed for a long time before saying: "These bandits are really scoundrels, Peach Blossom Mountain should go north, but they threw us to the south, and we need to detour for two more days to go home." ”
Xiaofeng smiled: "That's exactly what I want, when the mercenary union asked why they were late, they just prevaricated for this reason." ”
The twin-tailed scorpion pointed to a low mountain in front of him and said, "This place is called Silent Hill, it's usually a bit weird, we'd better wait until dawn before we go there." ”
Shi said: "Silent Hill, there is also one in my hometown, also called Dumb Tun, and the people in the Tunzi are all dumb by nature, and there are all kinds of deformities. Later, I learned that there was a dye workshop nearby, and the people in the tunzi drank the water of the river passing through the workshop, and it became like this. Later, I heard that several tunzi by the river jointly went to the workshop to discuss the explanation, but many people were killed by the other party, so it was over. ”
The twin-tailed scorpion said: "Well, this is not a silent hill caused by environmental pollution. Although this forest is not large, it is inhabited by dozens of jungle banshees, who are imprisoned by the gods, unable to speak and can only sing. Although they sang beautifully, every time they sang a word, their skin would crack open, as if they had been cut by a knife. Over time, no sound can be heard on this ridge except for the occasional singing, so it is called Silent Hill. ”
Mira asked, "Jungle Banshee? What is that? Is it an undead?"
"It's not the undead, but it's something similar. These banshees were originally some high-level elves who escaped after the destruction of the elf kingdom, and they were also punished by the gods because of the crimes committed by the great elf king. As far as I know, they can't speak, they can't step out of the woods, they can't communicate with the elves who have been exiled to other places, and they can only die here alone. ”
The beckoning cat said sympathetically: "Because of one person's sin, but to make so many elves suffer, this god is too cruel." ”
Mira said disappreciatively: "It should be like this, if a person commits a heinous crime, if he doesn't even the Nine Clans, he will only die at most, then what kind of awe can he have? I heard the teacher say that human nature is evil, if the cost of crime is too low, everyone takes risks, and the world does not know what will become of it." ”
Luthos said unhappily: "You two don't talk, disturb me listening to the song." ”
Everyone listened attentively, and sure enough, there was a trace of dreamlike singing in the cold night wind, like a high-altitude zipline and torrent waves, evoking a little pain, a little memory, a little yearning, and a little sweetness.
The twin-tailed scorpion said: "The banshees actually started singing again, it seems that something has happened, let's go over and take a look." ”
Under the traction of singing, everyone walked up to Silent Hill step by step. Except for the staccato singing, there was a deathly silence all around, and even the howling of the wind seemed to sound only far away beyond the ridge. Without a single night bird, without a single little beast, the whole mountain seemed like a silent tomb, the grave of the banshees.
In a clearing, Mira meets the jungle banshees. Perhaps they were once beautiful and arrogant elven nobles, but after thousands of years of imprisonment, now they are just some goosebump-haired drooping old women, ugly and shriveled. The banshees gathered in a circle, crying sadly for a dead person lying flat in the center, but they couldn't cry a sound, the scene was extremely weird.
The banshees took turns singing, and as soon as they finished singing one sentence, another one followed the next, but as soon as they opened their mouths, the skin on their bodies, which was as dry as the bark of an old tree, instantly cracked open, revealing the flesh inside. These banshees don't know how long they have been singing, some of them are already covered with scars, and the grass under them is stained red with blood, but they don't realize it, they just sing sad songs so mechanically, singing about their tragic fate.
The morning birds wake up to the slumbering flowers, the lush canopy swaying the fine sun, the buddies come and go in the shade, oh fairy forest, my lovely hometown.
The afternoon breeze blows the bells in the leaftops, the sturdy pegasus shines silver, the unicorns sit or lie on the grass, oh fairy forest, my beautiful hometown.
The flute of the silent night shakes the cradle of sweet dreams, the magical moon well bestows a rich home, and the couples talk to each other in the moonlight, oh fairy forest, my charming hometown.
My hometown, my hometown, the hometown I think about day and night, the hometown that haunts my dreams, when will I end all this suffering, return to your arms, and snuggle up to you.
Mira listened and felt her nose sour, and when she looked back at the beckoning cat and Alice, they were already in tears. The banshees looked at this group of uninvited guests blankly, and when they saw Mira, their eyes suddenly lit up, and a few people who looked a little younger hurriedly prepared some wild fruits and mountain springs to entertain everyone.
The twin-tailed scorpion said: "It's strange, my brother and I have also come up to this Silent Hill a few times, and we have always been driven away directly by them, how did we become so enthusiastic today?"
As she spoke, a banshee who was too old to walk came up to Mira and made a gesture and a song to finally figure out what she wanted to do. At her request, Mira walked up to the dead man in the meadow and said word by word: "Exile, I am willing to forgive your sins, forgive your punishment, and wish your soul eternal rest." ”
After saying a paragraph, there was no movement, and Mira thought to herself, it should be okay to drink a little spring water to do this, and it is impossible to let herself wear linen and filial piety. He was about to walk away when he saw the beckoning cat gesturing to him: "She said you weren't emotionally invested, let you do it again." ”
Mira was a little reluctant in his heart, but the song just now still vaguely echoed in his mind, making him really feel a little sympathetic to what happened to these banshees. As if it were a play on stage, Mira cleared her throat, brewed her feelings a little, and said in a majestic and heavy tone: "Exile, I am willing to forgive your sins, spare your punishment, and wish your soul eternal rest." ”
With a bang, the originally pitch-black Silent Hill suddenly brightened as day, and everyone was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes by this sudden light. After finally getting used to it, Mira saw a white light and shadow appear on the shriveled and withered corpse of the deceased in front of her, with blue hair and ears, a slender and beautiful, a long bow, and an arrow bag behind her. The light and shadow bowed to Mira happily, waved his hand to his fellow banshee mates, and finally turned into white shards and disappeared between heaven and earth.
