【Selection】Section 1 Reiner (1)
"Son, where are we going to play tomorrow, you decide!" said Reiner, when he returned home from the field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We've traveled all over the world, it's boring!" Wright muttered.
"Son, you'd better name a random place, or your father will be sad!" said Reiner's wife, Sora.
"Hmm...... I'm going to go to the world above!"
"What?!" Sora knocked over the plate in fright, "stop kidding, you'll die on the ground! Silly boy, you also advise the child, my dear, not to let him think of anything unrealistic!"
Instead of listening to his wife's advice, Reiner put his hands on his son's shoulders in a serious manner, looked him in the eyes, and said, "Son, do you really want to go to the world above?"
"Hmm. Wright nodded.
"Alright, we'll leave for the world above tomorrow!"
"Really?" Wright's innocent eyes widened, and Sora frowned.
"Really. Reiner looked at his son's smiling face contentedly, and he laughed too. But suddenly there was a sea of fire before his eyes, and the fire consumed his farm, his house, his wife and his son.
"Daddy...... Save me......" Wright let out one last scream before disappearing into the flames.
"No!!" Reiner woke up suddenly, and found himself lying on a wasteland, surrounded by a few clumps of scorching plant residue, and a large circular shallow pit centered on him, needless to say, the wasteland was also made by him.
How many times has it been?
Three years have passed since the earthling, who goes by the alias of Anfaron Iradan, broke his peaceful life.
In the past three years, he has still not been able to control the power of fire and craftsmanship, and often accidentally causes explosions. In order to avoid hurting the innocent, he has been alone all these years, away from the crowd, and never stays in crowded places for more than half a day. Accustomed to loneliness, he also became strange, and in order to relieve his loneliness, he began to talk to himself.
"It's just a bunch of ignorant and fearless little ants, I don't know what other people have done to us, why would I give up my wife and children to save these things......" Whenever someone talked to him, he always ignored it, and muttered these things in a whisper. The more he saw the ignorant and uneventful lives of other people, the more unbalanced his heart became, because their happiness was bought at the expense of his happiness.
Three, ten, thirty years later, Reiner still wandered around the Abyss of Zeller. He had no control over the unstable power of fire and craft, no information about the heart of Syrim, and no exit to the surface world. After countless self-talk, he began to be full of contradictions, he wanted to live an ordinary life with his wife and children, he wanted to warn his people to take revenge on the ground, he wanted to get rid of the power of the flames, and he wanted to control it completely.
In the seventieth year after the death of his wife and children, his life ushered in a turning point.
One day, as Reiner passed through the valley of the Ninth District, the sky suddenly began to shake violently, and the stalactites that hung high in the dome fell like meteorites (although Reiner and the other dark elves had never seen meteorites), followed by a blinding blue-purple glow. In the bright light, Reiner saw that the rock wall above him seemed to have a large opening, and an object fell from above, which was the source of the glow. When the light cleared, he found that it was a jet-black and shiny ore the size of a fingernail, with an extremely irregular shape and many angles. The cracked "sky" was then restored.
"What is this?" Reiner picked up the stone, and instantly felt his whole body filled with power, and he saw something, some memories of his ancestors from 10,000 years ago that didn't belong to him.
Ten thousand years ago, the war between the dark elves and the high elves was defeated, and there was a person on the high elves' side who obtained the heart of the elves' supreme treasure, Serim, he didn't look like an elf, but he was tens of thousands of times stronger than the elves. He single-handedly fought against 30,000 Dark Elves, tearing the earth apart with brute force, and most of them fell into the Abyss of Zeller, except for one person, Oshahit Serim, the ancestor of Reiner and a descendant of the demigod Serim.
Oshahit lurks among the High Elves, but he is not waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, he knows that he can no longer change the outcome of the war with his own strength, and all he can do is to protect his people as much as possible. Through a series of coincidences, Oshahit obtained a magic stone containing infinite power, and through his research, he discovered that the magic stone has the ability to tamper with memories. In order to stop future generations from obsessing with revenge, in order to curb future wars, and in order to let the dark elves live happily in ignorance, he imitated the ancestor demigod Serim, and used all his life force to drive the magic stone, modifying the memories of all the dark elves, making them think that the world on the ground was filled with poisonous gas and could not be inhabited, thinking that they had been living underground for generations. After doing all this, he sealed the magic stone in the depths of a natural mine in the southern part of the continent of Himo, and then passed away.
In addition to the memories of Ancestor Oshahit, Reiner also saw everything that happened to the magic stone later.
More than 100 years ago, the elves of Elton City on the continent of Hemo discovered this magic stone in the mines, and they used the magic stone as an experiment, annihilating thousands of humans living in the Volker District at that time, which also triggered a war between humans and high elves. After using the black light, the power of the magic stone was sealed for ten years. Later, the stone fell into the hands of a high elf named Randolph Serim, who used it to cause many troubles. He had the High Elves and the warriors of the Human Army kill each other in their own positions in order to direct the spearhead to his fictional "Dark Elf Inner Demon", he manipulated Mick Desman with a magic stone so that he crashed himself into the iron sword of the stunned Regulus, he controlled Thomas Desman's mind and caused him to drink a high concentration of magic stone potions, and his body exploded due to his inability to support it, and he brainwashed Ensiz Desman into jumping from the top of the castle of Engolund......
Later, a female elf named Isabella Desman discovers the magic stone and discovers Randolph Serim's conspiracy, and she goes to Randolph to confront her, but she can't get an answer. Hoping that Randolph would turn back, she stole the stone and threw it into the Abyss of Zeller, where it was picked up by Reiner.
"This stone has such magical powers! With it, I can restore the memories of all my people, and I can use it to take revenge on the ground. That guy named Regulus, I'll make you pay!"
After obtaining the magic stone, coupled with all these years of hard training, Reiner was finally able to control his power a little. He used the power of fire and craftsmanship to transform his right eye and hide the magic stone inside, and when he didn't use the magic stone's ability, it looked the same as his original eye, ensuring that nothing went wrong.
He knew how to tamper with people's memories through the memories obtained from the magic stone, and he believed that this was done by Naoshit, and maybe he didn't want future generations to be kept in the dark for the rest of his life, so he sealed the truth of everything into the magic stone, and one day his descendants had the fate to trigger it. Reiner began to wonder if the dark elves would know the truth, as long as he used the magic stone, he would be able to recover the erased memories of their ancestors. But he hesitated again—
"Why should I let them know the truth? The truth belongs to me alone, only I can know...... No, why didn't I let them know, and knowing the truth, I had been pushed to such a situation, and they should have tasted the pain I had endured...... No, knowing the truth, they will break the peace of the underworld, and then the abyss of Zeller will never be at peace...... Isn't that just right? It's time to assemble your forces and declare war on the ground, on the humans, on the High Elves...... No, my ability can't make so many people remember the truth, Oshahit has paid for his life, now there are dozens of times more people underground than at the beginning, my strength is not as strong as his, I will definitely die if I rush to exert my strength!"
To test people's reactions to knowing the truth, Reiner hired a few people to experiment. He found a few civilians who were the most ordinary and mediocre, without ideals, ambitions, and pursuits, and used magic stones to instill in them the memories of their ancestors being defeated and forced into the ground, and being brainwashed. As a result, one of the four people he experimented with screamed everywhere when he saw someone, but none of them believed him, and in the end he didn't believe himself either, and was voluntarily locked up as a madman. One of them began to look around for the exit to the Abyss of Zeller, to go to the world on the ground, but he could not find it, so he began to build a high platform and build a long ladder, trying to climb it all the way, until he stumbled and fell to his death. There is also a person who can't bear this heavy truth and can't accept the reality of being deceived, so he chose to end his life, and he cut his wrist with a firewood knife. The last man chose not to believe anything, he regarded the truth as a dream, and continued to live his ordinary and happy little life.
This experiment temporarily discouraged Reiner's intention to let everyone know the truth, and not everyone could properly face the life that deceived them.
With the power of the Son of God and the Magic Stone, his lifespan has been greatly extended. The average dark elf does not live to be 300 years old at most, but he has lived to be 500 years old, but he is still the same as when he fought with Wright in his thirties. Five hundred years have passed, and four hundred and seventy-two years have passed since that man disturbed his life, and he believes that he will live for a long time, but eternity has become a kind of torture for him, and that Regulus may have died long ago, and he should really be blamed for all this that happened to him? Whether he told himself the truth or not, it would happen sooner or later, and all the results were his own choice, and it was his choice that killed his wife and children. But who gave him this choice?
For more than 400 years, he relied on the power of the Son of God to forge all kinds of crafts to pass the time, and any inconspicuous thing, burned by his flame, could be turned into a beautiful decoration. He made a boat out of mushrooms, he made a tower out of stones, he made a leaf gather into cloth, and he made a sword from a block of iron...... He never used the power of the magic stone again, nor did he restore anyone's memory. The man who was finally affected by him with the magic stone died of old age, and walked away peacefully, with a secret into an eternal dream.
Perhaps it was the result of his frequent use of the power of craft, and his power resonated with something, and he felt that something was calling to him somewhere deep underground, and he knew that it must be his holy artifact, the Heart of Sullim.
