Chapter 1: Yesterday Reappears (2)
"Troll!" said Miyali aloud, pointing to the Hurbert River not far away.
No wonder the pungent stench wafted from the direction of the Herbert River.
Darra's first instinct was to draw his sword and watch nervously in the direction of Miyari's finger, but unfortunately, with his human eyesight, he couldn't tell the troll from the green grass.
Trolls are fearsome carnivores, and like gnomes, they never know what fear is. However, the audacity of trolls is not due to curiosity, but to a voracious appetite, and whenever they feel hungry, they will constantly attack and prey, from maggots to bears and any humanoid. So, most creatures will find a way to avoid this monster.
Darrah searched carefully through the grass by the river, and finally, he saw an adult troll about 9 feet tall and weighing about 500 pounds hiding inside. The other's rubbery skin was a dull moss-green, and a bunch of gray-green stuff that looked like hair grew on his head. Therefore, when it hid in the grass, no one but Miyali noticed the large mass of green velvet monster.
Trolls have long hands and feet, and they look clumsy and ugly, but in fact, trolls are agile monsters.
Miyali whispered on the side, "This is a water troll. ”
Water trolls are an aquatic subspecies of trolls that can only regenerate if they hide most of their bodies in water, otherwise they will never be able to regenerate and recover their lost torso limbs if someone damages them with fire or strong acid.
Dara looked at the water troll and quickly decided, "I'll lure it out of the water, and you hit it with a fireball." ”
Miyalie and Jenny nodded at the same time.
Dara looked at Funia, then said to Jenny, "Look at her." With that, he walked towards the water troll's hideout......
The water troll squirmed unwillingly, and instinctively caused it to crawl into the water.
Seeing this, the elven mage Miari sent out a huge fireball again, hitting the water troll before running towards Dara on the other side. He was now lying on the ground, covered in blood and unconscious.
The little girl, Jenny, stood by and watched Dara quietly.
Fenya wept silently beside Darla.
Miyali glanced at Fenya. Darla's concern for her made it too late for her to blame Fernia.
"Heal him quickly. Miyali said, reaching for Fudala.
A pair of small hands reached over and grabbed Mialy.
"Jenny?" Miyali asked.
Jeanie pointed to the "River of Time" not far away, the light on the river was fading, and Miyali could feel that the magical energy in it was very unstable. Maybe it will disappear from their presences again.
Looking at Jiao Ni's eyes, Miyali instantly understood after a moment of confusion.
"Throw him in now?" Miyali asked.
Jenny nodded.
Miyali was a little anxious: "But he ......" Jiaony's eyes made her stop, the other party was more anxious than her, but also understood better, for Darla, this was his best chance to verify his conjecture.
At this time, isn't he unconscious?
Moreover, although they have destroyed the marks left by Fenya along the way, it is difficult to ensure that no other people who covet the mysteries and energy of the "River of Time" will accompany them along the way. One more second of delay here would be more dangerous.
"Good!" Miyali finally made up her mind, and aimed at Darra's body, sending a jet of water that struck him above the shimmering river.
Unexpectedly, Dara was quickly bounced back after touching the light of the "River of Time".
"It's resistant to magic!" Miyali remembered, and those who entered and exited the "River of Time" knew nothing about magic. The magic she inflicted on Dara prevented him from entering.
Over here. She and Jenny were both magicians, and they couldn't get near the river at all.
"You, quick, take him in. Miyali looked at Fernia. Pointing to the "River of Time" in the distance, he ordered.
"Me?" said Fenya stopped crying.
"Do you want to save him?" said Miyalee, hurrying.
Although Funia didn't quite understand Miyali's intentions, she at least knew that the elf in front of her also had some special concern for Dara, and she, like herself, didn't want anything to happen to Dara.
Therefore, although Fenya's weak body could not bear the weight of Darra's body. But she still tried to move Darla's body as Miyali asked, and helped him to walk towards the colorful magical river step by step......
The figures of Funia and Dara disappeared in an instant, and the magical river that disappeared from time to time was also gone.
By the Herbert River, only the elven mage Miyali and the little girl Jeanie were left, and the two faced each other silently, with some melancholy and wait-and-see in their eyes.
It stands to reason that Fernia is sober into the "River of Time", she is bound to not arrive in the same time and space as Darra, so after a moment of floating in the river, she should reappear in front of them, but in fact, Fenya did not reappear, and the magic river that was supposed to "spit out" Fenya before disappearing also disappeared with it.
Darla, Miarie, and Jenny, there must have been something wrong with their previous speculations, but what went wrong?
Darla woke up, vaguely remembering the injuries he had been injured in the battle with the water trolls, but when he looked around, he was speechless in surprise.
I don't know when he was already lying in his ancestral house, surrounded by familiar rooms and furnishings, and the quilt on his body still smelled of sunshine. Darla scrambled to her feet and hurried out of the room.
Outside, everything in the ancestral house is as if it were yesterday as it was more than two years ago. Dara carefully caressed every piece of furniture and utensils in the house, as if caressing the passing of time.
Gently pushing open the door of her mother's room, Dara found that her mother, Tatiana, was sleeping on the bed, her face flushed, and fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, looking extremely weak. Beside Tatiana, guarding his eldest brother Maki, an eight-year-old boy who was sleeping in a daze with his hands folded and under his head.
Dara wanted to rush over and hug his mother and brother tightly, but he stood in the doorway, not daring to move. Because he had seen the bodies of his mother and brother hanging from a tree outside the castle of Sala, and how many times he had pounced on them in such dreams. Hug your loved ones. The next moment, he woke up in an instant, and found that such a longing was nothing more than a dream.
Darla stood still, afraid of waking up the dream. But in the end. He still couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to call: "Mother......" The voice was stuck in his throat, and he suddenly found that he seemed to be dumb, and he could no longer make any sound. This made Dara extremely anxious. Unable to care about anything else, he rushed to his mother and brother, and stretched out his hand to pull them, but he was surprised to see that his hand gradually became transparent and disappeared like air.
The younger brother Markey suddenly raised his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and turned his head.
Darrah's mouth widened and he looked down at himself, his whole being now completely invisible in the transparent air.
Markey's eyes were calm. Confused, he stood up and walked straight past Darla's body.
Darla was stunned for a moment before hurriedly following out.
The sound of Markey urinating came from the toilet, and Dara looked out of the house and slowly walked out.
In the distance, the sun is rising, just as it was more than two years ago. He saw the sunrise as spectacular. The village is the same as ever, with chickens and dogs barking one after another in the village. And the curling smoke of each house also strongly reminds Dara that this is a living Simplain village. He could even smell the scent of earth and grass, and such a real feeling made him begin to doubt the past two years or so. It was really a nightmare, a long, sad nightmare.
Black-robed mages, Ranger Gibri, Duke Sara, Lina, Jeanie, elves, dwarves, gnomes, are they just characters in his own chaotic dreams, and they never appear in his real life?
Darrah was trapped in the double confusion of memory and reality, and as she watched the sun finally rise above the ground, her mood was not as relieved as she had been more than two years ago, but she felt foreboding again.
He remembered that it was at this moment that Colter, the child of the Brem family who was a bee exorcist, came running to tell him the bad news that "Puno has been captured by the box monster".
Darla's eyes couldn't help but look towards the avenue at the entrance of the village where Colt had run.
For a moment, Darra's eyes widened, and a small figure really appeared on the avenue, and a sharp cry rang out: "Monster!
What a Colbert!
Dara "chuckled" in his heart, and in an instant, all the past flashed through his mind at once, allowing him to quickly connect the things before and after.
That long period of more than two years was not a nightmare, it was all something he had really experienced. And now, it's just that he has gone back to the past through the "river of time"!
Darla was excited, but then, as if he had been struck by lightning, he froze in place, for he saw a man in the vegetable field straighten up and shout at Colter as he ran. The man's back was so familiar, and the voice was so familiar, that Dara was completely stunned as if he had seen a ghost.
After a few moments, the man turned around, and Darla couldn't help but see his face, which was clearly the same as he was two years ago, when his face didn't have the thick mustache he had now. He watched as his other self, a self that existed in the plane of the past, suddenly turned around and ran away.
Following the route he remembered, Dara quickly avoided the place where he had last encountered Golem and went straight to the clearing of the forest where he had last discovered Puno.
From afar, Dara saw the black-robed mage Aland slowly pulling out a strangely shaped knife from his bosom while examining Puno.
Dara was so anxious that she blurted out, "Stop!
The black-robed mage didn't stop, Dara watched as he gently cut a small cut on his left wrist, then put the knife back in place, poked out his bloody left hand, put it to Puno's mouth, broke the little boy's mouth, and fed the blood to Puno, while concentrating on reciting a few incantations.
Puno's body was suddenly enveloped by a black qi, and after a while, the black qi shrank into a ball, burrowed into Puno's face, and turned into an inconspicuous small black mole, dotted under the corner of Puno's right eye.
Dara was almost crazy, he pounced like a madman, kicked and punched the black-robed mage, trying to grab the other man's hand and stop him from doing such a thing to his brother, but in vain he found that all his efforts were like the air around him, and had no effect on the black-robed mage.
Is there something that can't be changed?, Darrah thought bitterly. (To be continued.) )
