Chapter 149: The Child of Suffering
Teng Yunshen guessed the mystery behind it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć infoSeven children, seven lives, the magic weapon forged at the cost of this should probably have elements related to the number "seven". And at this moment, the ring lying on his palm, the closest part to "seven" can only be the six sides of the gem, and this number is "six".
"What does this mean?" Teng Yun stared at the ring of pain uneasily. It was a magic weapon that the wizards had high hopes for, and they even gave their children's lives for it. It's not a cheap dollar badget at a roadside stall. It's not a good thing to say, but it's a rare ring. It should have strict specifications. And the most important part of the ring, the gemstone, is missing one of the seven faces, which is not a trivial matter, and I am afraid that this cannot be explained by the cumulative changes.
The great wizard lying in the sink said in a sullen voice, "One of the children...... Escaped?"
"You killed them. ā
"I know. ā
"There won't be any unlikely accidents, right?"
The silence was like a thick quilt, but the cold wind that crept into the room was silent.
"That kid might still be alive. Greene said, "I hope he'sā"
Teng Yunshen interrupted him: "This is a good thing. Whatever happened to him, no matter what he ended up becoming. We didn't know what was inside until we opened the box. We can't be sure of his end. Sometimes, that's what hope is all about. It doesn't give you much promise, however, it symbolizes opportunity. ā
"I'm going to find out. ā
"I'll help you. You mentioned 'him'. Are all seven children boys? Or do you already know who the escaped children are?"
"Three boys, four girls. "But if there's anyone who is special...... I think it's the boy. ā
Teng Yunshen was trembling. He still felt the pain for a long time, like a cold flame. The torture did not leave a scar on his body, but it did torment his soul. However, he was reluctant to let go of the ring. It is an evil weapon, but people have placed a noble spirit on it. It is sublimated in devotion.
And what would the child who had escaped feel about the experience if he had survived and learned the truth? Would he resent his parents for giving up on him?
That's not easy to put people down. His life, his future, was only exchanged for a belated artifact. His sacrifice saved no one.
And he at least has a chance to resent. And what about the other six kids? They don't even have the opportunity to do that. They were sealed in the dust with this ring of sin, and it was not until many years later, until now, that they have not seen the light of day.
"Be brave. Teng Yunshen said softly, "You guys are good, I'm good, we all have to be brave." He tried to ignore the pain of the ring and focus on the problem at hand.
He flicked the ring in his hand, "How did you hide it?"
"I weaved a spell. No one but me and anyone I allowed to touch it. ā
"Does this mean that the child escaped on his own?"
"If he can escape on his own, someone else will be able to find the ring. "There is no connection between these two things. Only, he left. This means that I can no longer jump to conclusions. Things turned out beyond my comprehension. ā
Teng Yunshen nodded. "Both possibilities exist. "However, the ring was left here." Wizards from both camps have no reason to give it up. That is, the former is much more likely, and the child should be left alone. ā
Greene agreed: "You're right. I'm sorry. I haven't used my brain in a long, long time. ā
Teng Yunshen didn't say anything, he bent down again, observing the ancient ground under his feet. "Is this ring staying where you dropped it, is it because the spell is working, or is it because this place has always been like this?"
Greene thought for a moment. "I think that even after the fall, this underground palace was protected by the forces of antiquity, so that it would not be swallowed up by the movement of the earth's crust. The terrain here is very different from what I remember. ā
Teng Yunshen took out the empty bronze coin from his pocket. "We may be able to trace some clues. He looked hesitantly at the open door, "How's it going outside?"
"I'm going to spy on them. ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the silhouette lying in the sink disappeared, like chalk words erased from the blackboard.
Teng Yunshen sat down cross-legged.
He began to extract the magic of bronze. The mottled patterns accentuated their indistinct texture beneath his skin, and they swelled slightly, squeezing out the delicate hue of his skin. He looked like a statue that had just been unearthed.
The past approached him. A beam of light, a handful of sounds, hazy. The world is tilted. A row of gutters whispered. The phantom of the water droplets is glowing.
Teng Yunshen put the Necromantic Ring back into the depression where it had been staying. It's not heavy. However, over time, even the lightest things will leave their traces.
Gather over the ring.
"Tell me. He muttered to himself, "Where did that kid go?"
The light was focused on the flawless gemstone. Smack. A footprint landed lightly on the ground. Smack. Another footprint fell. Smack. Smack. Smack. The soft voice echoed in the empty room for a long time. It was the sound of flowers blooming bravely in the early spring, in the unthawed sun.
After breaking free from death, what will the child see and think?
Step by step, he crawled into the unknown darkness. How long has it been since then? The wizards died, and the demons fled. He was alone, only accompanied by loneliness. The darkness is endless. However, in his unworldly pupils, darkness may be...... A bottomless well. The moonlight was calling to him.
"Kids. ā
Teng Yunshen opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't make a sound to the past.
"Kids. ā
He suddenly realized that the call came from now, from someone else. He unloaded the magic of bronze. A cold wind blew away the phantom of the past. His face was wet and welling with tears. He began to cry unconsciously.
The great wizard wanted to say and stopped: "He ......"
"I saw him. He left. ā
"Put on the ring. Greene said, "They're coming." ā
