Chapter 2: Destiny (1)
The blood stains on Darra's body caused new memories to flood into Darra's mind in an instant.
In the past time and space, he failed to prevent the black-robed mage Aland from planting a blood curse in Puno's body, nor did he stop Funia from leaving, did not stop Duke Sara's persecution of the entire village, and did not stop him from mutilating his own relatives.
After going around in a circle in the past time and space, he returned to the beginning. At the end of the day, nothing changed for him.
Everything is still in accordance with the established direction and clues, and it is staged and happened one by one in the past time and space. As if it was meant to ......
"Where's Funya?" asked Dara after a long silence, now that he had sorted out his messy memories and thoughts, acknowledging the life he was currently having. He remembered that before entering the "River of Time", Fenya had traveled with them to the vicinity of the Herbert River.
But at this moment, when he came out of the "River of Time" again, he was completely nowhere to be seen.
The elven mage Miari glanced at him with a strange and complicated gaze, her eyes flickering, and she didn't answer Darra's question.
There was also a little confusion in the quiet eyes of the little girl Jiaoni.
"Where is she?" asked Darra, staring into Miyali's eyes, very slowly, word by word.
Under Darla's pressing gaze, Miyali had to turn her eyes away and replied in a low voice, "She didn't come out." ”
Dara still stared at Miyali, who didn't have to look up to feel Darla's suspicious gaze still on her, so she had to continue, "I asked her to take you into the 'River of Time'...... She, she didn't come out again. Miali tries to explain her original intention of letting Funia take Dara to the "River of Time", but she finally resists. The unique reserve of the elf made her feel that she had the best part of her defense.
Jenny, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and told Miyali why they had to do it.
Darla's eyes softened, and she looked back with a look of confusion on her face.
The enchanted river after "spitting" out of Dara himself. It had disappeared again, and now in front of them was just an ordinary Herbert River, with clear waters. The water and grass are long, and there are no anomalies on the surface of the river.
The beautiful shadow that had just been reunited with him disappeared and became as distant as a dream again. Where is she?
Could it be that Fernia was doomed to disappear from his world, just like the bad luck that would inevitably happen in his life?
When he went through a lot of hardships. met her again, but in the blink of an eye, she mysteriously disappeared from his field of vision again, and once again there was no news, her whereabouts were unknown, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
Dara was unwilling, and at this time, he gradually understood how the so-called "law of conservation" regulates the "river of time". and how they rule the world and time and space in which they live.
Some things can change, and some things are bound to happen.
The "River of Time" is also like a river leading to the sea, no matter how it is diverted in the middle, the final direction will never change, even after a thousand turns, what should happen will still happen at a certain point in time. They can't avoid all catastrophes, and there's only so much they can do to make a difference.
Dara suddenly felt a wave of tiredness from the depths of her heart, for a moment. All kinds of old and new memories filled his mind again, and he felt a little at a loss. Dara couldn't explain to them what she had been through.
He could only be silent in the incomprehensible gaze of everyone.
For him, he has been back and forth in the past years. Witnessing a series of tragedies that happened in the past, but for the elven mage and Jeanie, Dara was quickly thrown out again after entering the "river of time".
All they knew was that something was wrong. They saw Fernia and Darla enter the "River of Time" together, but came out. But there was only one Darrah. Funya disappeared.
Back at training camp in Nelson Plains, Darla seemed to be a completely different person, depressed, and no matter what others told him, he couldn't get the hang of it.
The elven mage Mialy blames it on the disappearance of Dara's first love, Fenya, and Dara can't accept such a blow, but at the same time, she vaguely feels that the reason why Dara has become so negative is by no means so simple.
Finally, one night, Miyali couldn't resist finding Dara and asking him what he had seen in the "River of Time" this time, and became so depressed.
Darla shook her head lazily and said weakly, "I didn't see anything. ”
"Then why are you so negative?"
"Nothing," said Darrah, her eyes wandering, "I just feel tired." ”
"Is it because of Fenya?"
"Don't mention this!" Dara raised her voice suddenly, then shook her head and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Miarie, I just ...... Do you believe that the 'River of Time' can change the past?" Dara asked suddenly, thoughtlessly.
"I ...... I don't know. ”
"If the 'River of Time' can really change the past, and I go back in time and kill my grandfather, guess what will happen?"
"How could you have such an idea?" Miyali was taken aback, Dara had been pondering lately, since he had been out of the "River of Time" last time, the whole person had been acting wrong.
Darla laughed, "Why are you so nervous? If I can kill my grandfather, then I won't be born again, and if I can't be born, how can I go back and kill my grandfather?"
This is indeed a paradox of time!
Darla continued: "So, I must not have killed my grandfather, either something stopped me, or I killed my grandfather, but my father was born at that time, and my grandfather's death would not affect my birth. ”
"You mean, the past can't be changed. Miyali said, almost unsteady on her feet, so they had been trying to find the "River of Time", hoping to change the tragedy of the past through this magical river, which was a joke in itself.
"Yes," Dara nodded, "I already know that some things are meant to be. What should happen, whatever happens, will happen. So, I'm not going to look for the 'River of Time' anymore, and I'm not going to change the things that can't be changed. ”
After Dara said this. Again fell into a state of negative contemplation, and no longer reacted to Miyali's questions, with a deep loneliness.
"Don't you want to find Fernia too?" asked Miyali tentatively. She was very reluctant to mention Fenya, who was more or less responsible for her disappearance for no reason this time, but things came to this point. She had to mention Funia, hoping to inspire Dara to rebel instead of resigning to fate.
Previously, it was Darla who gave them the confidence to bring their group together and take on the great responsibility of fighting for the future. But now, Dara herself is lifeless and uninterested in the team she has formed. What he said just now, Miyali only understood one meaning, that is, he felt that many tragedies were predestined. So he resigned himself and stopped trying to make changes. She had to dispel him!
"Fenya......" Darla muttered, "where is she?"
Dara looked at the elven mage with a blank look in her eyes, as if she was asking the other party, and as if she was asking herself.
"The river of time. Miyali replied.
Dara smiled wryly, and after going around in a circle, he still had to find the "River of Time" again, and that magical river always had various reasons for him to find it. Isn't this also a kind of fate?
Outside the training camp was the endless Nelson Great Plains, and at this time, in the night, two black figures stood in the distance. Looking at the lights in the training camp that Dara set up here, he didn't move.
Within 500 meters of these two figures, all the wolves, snakes, tigers and leopards were extinct, quietly far away. It's just that these two black figures are not ordinary people.
One of them is a ** master who exudes amazing magical power all over his body, and the other is a dark elf who talks about the color change of the surface race. Their hearts were as dark as their robes and skins, so when the two of them walked together, it was no wonder that the monsters around them had already smelled the ominous aura and slipped away.
These two people are the black-robed mage Alander and the dark elf Cass.
Cass is the youngest son of the Maserati mother of the Emma family, the first family of the dark elves, according to the standards of the dark elves, he is still a minor at this time, but he has been sent by the master mother to participate in the mission of the surface world, which shows Maserati's trust and reliance on him. However, from the perspective of the dark elves, there is another explanation for this incident, the Maserati housemother did not have a crush on the youngest son, so she simply sent him to the surface world on a mission to kill people with a knife.
It's a pity that Cass seems to be secretly protected by some kind of force, and since he went up to the surface world, he has not made any mistakes, but has successfully found the black-robed mage Alander, walked with him, and secretly peeked into the actions of Dara and others. Deep down, the magical river of light and shadow also made Cass very interested and curious.
Not long ago, Cass finally avoided Aland and got in touch with the underworld, passing on all the news he had recently gotten to the Maserati mistress. However, Maserati was in no hurry to recall Cass, and, based on Cass's information, he was given a new task to try to kill the young leader named "Dala". For some reason, this plan was thwarted by Alander, and Cass had to continue to follow secretly while looking for an opportunity to strike.
Aland didn't know what his underground allies were up to, but he would never allow anyone to touch Dara now, for the simple reasons that first, he had planted his own blood curse on Darra's brother, and until the blood curse was confirmed, he didn't want anyone to sabotage his magic experiments. This may be another shortcut to eternal life.
Second, several times to feel the huge magical energy of the "River of Time" from a distance, but also gave Aland a new idea, if he can take such power for his own use, Aland himself can't help but shiver, several attempts to get close to the mysterious magic river have failed, Aland can feel its instinctive interference and resistance to magic, and has also seen that only people who are not very good at magic can really enter the magic river. However, he was never willing to give up this new idea of using the "River of Time", because he knew that this might also be an opportunity for him to transcend time and gain eternal life.
The "River of Time" is a magical river created by the gods to control the secrets of time and space. If you master it, isn't it equivalent to holding time in your hands, and you can postpone the onset of aging and death forever?
But now, the mystery of this enchanted river is most likely to be grasped by the young man named "Darla", who does not want to get out of the way until he peeks into it. Although Cass had suggested that Dara be tortured, Aland contemptuously refused, not because he didn't want to use this cruel method, but because he felt that it was useless to use it on someone like Darra, and that it would be better to spy on him and Miyali's every move and figure it out for himself.
It is also very rare for two people with their own hearts, to be exact, a human mage who is about to become a fairy, and a dark elf who is too young to be an adult, to be at odds with each other, to go hand in hand, and far beyond everyone's expectations.
Dark Regions, Sharma City.
The youngest daughter of the Maserati mother, Gwyneth, was now carefully crossing the drawbridge over the moat, while gently lifting the corner of her black robe, revealing her beautiful calves. She was not afraid that the underflowing water in the moat would splash on her, but deliberately let the people behind her see it, so as to show a little feminine charm and arouse the curiosity and association of the other party.
Unfortunately, when Gwyneth turned her head slightly and took care of the other party's "careful", she was disappointed to find that the other party's eyes did not pay attention to her bare calves at all, but stared closely at the foggy moat, with no expression on her face. It was the Drow Commander Seventam's men, a Drow man named Ronin.
All the drow men who had been trained by Side Tam seemed to forget how humble their status was, and unconsciously exuded a sense of arrogance. And arrogance is a quality that Zall men should never show in front of women no matter what!
Gwyneth put down her skirt in disappointment, and once again felt a heartfelt hatred for the person behind her, and wanted to kick the other party into the river, but at this moment, she was still smiling on her face: "Let's go, what's so nice about this?"
Luo Ning was still expressionless: "I'm thinking, where does the end of this river lead?
Gwyneth's face changed slightly, and legend has it that their moat led to the bottomless abyss of the River Styx, where there were countless terrible demons and unimaginable dangers. However, no one has ever personally confirmed this, because those who accidentally fell into the river were either killed by the monsters in the river and after a few days floated to the surface of the river, or completely disappeared, never to be seen again. Hearing Luo Ning say this, Gwyneth said secretly: Don't worry, I will definitely give you this opportunity in the future! But the smile on her face was even more moving: "Clean nonsense, let's go quickly." ”
Ronin stopped talking, and began to walk, and soon followed Gwyneth to the entrance of Sharma City. (To be continued.) )
