Chapter 32. Gifts are also curses (Addendum 1)
Zhou Jinru has good hearing, and the conversation between Kelsey and Silver Fox does not intend to hide from him, he listens to it clearly, it turns out that the purpose of these people gathered here is for the ethereal Eternal City.
There are many legends about the Eternal City, most of which are related to the nightmare of panic and carnage that once brought to the entire land.
Riding on the black mist, Kuranta sprinkled death on the earth.
That's what this phrase is used to describe nightmares.
As for what happened next, there are many theories, some say that the Nightmare army was wiped out in the face of an unseen enemy, others say that they passed through the hot land and went elsewhere, in short, the Eternal City is left with only a legend.
Kelsey says she's chasing a secret, could it be that she's talking about the Eternal City?
Linlang walked between the two friends, interrupted their argument, grabbed a person's arm with one hand, and said with a smile: "Now that we are standing here, do we still have to retreat, the Eternal City is in front of us, let's go and see together?" ”
The silver fox didn't speak.
Kelsey asked, "When will that Sargon wake up?" ”
"At night, when it's dark, he'll wake up."
The person who answered her was Munebu Kobayashi.
So there was an extra four hours of rest.
The number of tents was limited, and they could only squeeze in except for the tents where supplies were stacked.
Zhou Jinru turned over and lay on a low bed, without the slightest sense of nervousness, and he wanted to know what the expressions of these people would be when they knew their identities, because Kelsey clearly did not intend to tell them the real situation.
At this point in time, he Zhou Jinru does exist, but no one can find where it is, and as for himself, a person who returns to the past from the future, it is beyond the specifications.
A moment later, Kelsey came in to rest, and she lay on the low bed opposite.
During this period, the two of them did not communicate at all, as if they were just strangers.
When the time came to night, Zhou Jinru turned his back to the door curtain, across the tent, and counted silently in his heart second by second, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared.
For some reason, his heart beat violently at this moment, and a strange feeling surged up.
Turning around, he found Kelsey staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She shook her head.
No.
There must be something.
Zhou Jinru knew very well what kind of person Kelsey was, and she said that it was nothing, which meant that something had happened.
It's dark.
The two men walked out of the tent one after the other, resting and recovering their spirits.
In the camp, a group of people were sitting together, in addition to the five of them, there were also eight escorts who were traveling with them, all of whom were cronies brought by Kobayashi Zongxin.
"In fact, the contemptible people are half Yan people, half Dongguo people, and most of the time they live in Yan country."
In addition to the one-person tall long knife that Kobayashi Munsanobu never left his body, he also carried another knife at his waist.
"Lin spent half of his life wandering in the Yan country, learning art everywhere, and the other half wandering between countries, looking for opponents, in short, he was used to wandering around."
The couple Linlang and Xiaolin look very affectionate.
The silver fox next to him suddenly asked, "Mr. Four, when you eat, you don't take off your mask?" ”
How do you and Kelsey ask the same question?
Of course, Zhou Jinru refused to take it down: "My face is injured, it is very terrible, and it will frighten you." ”
Silver Fox didn't believe it, but didn't ask again, but looked at Kelsey, who nodded slightly, affirming Zhou Jinru's words.
When it came to this, the silver fox was embarrassed to really let Zhou Jinru take off the mask.
"Is that guy awake?"
"Wake up, and after the sun is gone, he wakes up."
As he spoke, in the tent opposite, an old man with a stiff back came out, his beard was white, his wrinkled face could not see any expression, his limbs were dry and only a layer of skin wrapped in bones, his cheeks were like skeletons, and his eyes were full of gloom.
"Good evening, everybody."
His voice was hoarse, like someone rubbing metal with sandpaper, harsh, and the roots of his teeth were sour.
His eyes swept over Zhou Jinru and Kelsey, and the old man muttered: "Well, so you say, everyone has arrived?" ”
Kobayashi Sonobu said in a deep voice: "Yes, all our companions have already arrived. ”
"Hehe, you are the most powerful adventurers I have ever met, there should be hope to see the Eternal City, I just had a dream, and Lord Nightmare pointed me in the right direction."
Zhou Jinru frowned, no matter how this sounds, it sounds like a trap, will these people be easily fooled?
Kobayashi Sonobu nodded: "That's the best, we don't have to waste our time here, Mr. Partridge, you don't want to do this, do you?" ”
"Yes, I can't wait to meet Lord Nightmare."
Just when the emotional perception detection passed, Zhou Jinru sensed a cold consciousness, and he quickly retreated and disappeared without a trace.
He glanced at Kelsey, and the lynx looked down to eat, but did not respond.
The old man named Partridge left after a few pleasantries, saying that he would go back to meditate and try to communicate with the Nightmare again.
It wasn't until there were only five of them left here that the topic opened up again.
Kelsey was the first to say, "Mr. Four, what did you just discover?" ”
Zhou Jinru stirred the boiling water in the lunch box with a spoon: "I just discovered that there was a strange consciousness attached to Partridge's body, and after I found it, it left immediately. ”
"Strange consciousness?"
The silver fox stared at his mask as if to find some answer.
Kobayashi Zongxin was slightly embarrassed and said, "Contemptible...... It's a pity that I haven't found anything for so many days. ”
"Actually, I also found that during the day, Patrick has no energy, and only at night can he start moving."
Linlang gathered her long hair and continued, "If I'm right, he should ask us to start exploring the Eternal City at night. ”
"I've always had a small question, guys, why are you exploring the Eternal City, and what secrets are there in it that can catch your attention, which is important because I'm new to the game, and I have to figure out why so I don't go wrong at a critical time."
When Zhou Jinru said this question, the other four people fell silent, and no one was willing to speak first.
The eerie silence lasted for a few minutes, and finally, the silver fox put down the spoon in his hand and pointed to his nose by the light of the campfire: "Before answering you, you also answer me a question, what do you think I am now?" ”
Without waiting for Zhou Jinru to really answer, she laughed at herself: "Thirty years old, forty years old, or one hundred years old?" Sorry, I don't even remember myself, none of us here remember our real age, you know, we don't die, and even if we take fatal injuries, we will recover after a while. ”
