Ice and Fire Chapter Twenty-Four: Narubis?
Standing in front of the cloaked old man, the other party smiled and said to him: "Hello, young man, you can really see me, I shouldn't have scared you." β
"To be honest, a little bit at first, sir. Carlo replied honestly.
"Oh, I'm very upset about that, but it's to recognize you, and now if you want, you can follow me, there's an immortal who wants to meet you. So saying, the old man stretched out his hand and motioned for Carlo to follow him to the grass that had deviated from the path, and this time Carlo followed without hesitation.
Not long after walking, Carlo saw a stone stele, no one would have thought that a secret entrance would be behind a tree on the left side of the stele, where there was a small hollow tree hole, at the signal of the old man, Carlo stepped on the root of the tree on the back of the tree hole, and then, the tree hole twisted deformously from the other side, and he devoured it, and the old man disappeared into the woods in the same way.
In the small dark space, Carlo could only see the light not far ahead, and he could feel the old man behind him. "Please move forward. β
Through a few meters of darkness, Carlo and the others came to a circular secret room, the secret room was lit around the lamp, and in the middle there was a mirror, the mirror was rippling, as if connected to another space, however, the old man turned the mirror around, and the mirror was raised, and a stone door rose from the bottom, as if thinking that the mirror above was a trap. However, Carlo soon realized that he was wrong, because the old man used the mechanism on the back of the mirror again, and only put a symbol on the back, and the mirror was lowered, but it did not turn back, and this was the old man signaling Carlo to come to the other side with him, through the front of the mirror. Such a careful cover-up made people secretly frightened, and Carlo began to guess that he was going to face such a person.
When they passed through the mirror, unexpectedly, they did not appear in another dark secret room, but a spacious room, looking at the direction of the sun, the southeast side of the room is five or six meters high colored floor-to-ceiling crystal windows, beautiful but not see-through. On the northwest side are the high bookshelves, and the room can only have many stone statues and pottery barrels with scrolls, which is like a library.
"Here we are. The old man said happily.
Carlo was about to speak, when on the bookshelf in the corner, a book on the third floor suddenly fell to the ground by itself, and after a few pages of reaction, the light of the human figure who could not see his face condensed from the book. Carlo immediately realized that this was the person who wanted to see him, and maybe he wasn't.
"Thank you, Bab Shiv, for bringing this boy here, and you can go about your business. Oh, of course, please arrange the coachman to send this child back, I think we will talk for a long time. An old voice came from the corner, and the ancient aura spread instantly.
"Do as told, my lord, and I'll arrange it. The old man took off his cloak, revealing the gorgeous robe inside, and received it in his pocket without a trace, obviously the cloak was not simple, and then took out a silver coin from another pocket and handed it to Carlo and said: "Child, this is the library of the Sacred Garden of Wisdom, when you are leaving, take this silver coin downstairs, give it to the coachman waiting at the door, he will send you to where you want to go, as for the appearance of the carriage, you can just observe the coin." After saying that, he wanted to make a respectful salute to Light and Shadow, and pushed the only wooden door in the room and left.
It's so simple, it's not at all like when you come in, it's obvious that the previous actions are all to hide something, and the answer is probably this room, and the people who designed these roads are very careful, and the first two levels are more elaborate than the other, and the entrance is placed in the trap of thinking. And even if you finally come here, you will find that this place is so ordinary, and when you can't find a more elaborate trap, I'm afraid that those who sneak in will have no clue, and who wouldn't have thought that this secret would be in the library that is not difficult to enter.
"Hello, young trialist, should your look of surprise be due to seeing me, or is it because you are seeing this place?"
"Hello, I guess it's both. Not knowing what to call the person in front of him, Carlo simply omitted the title.
"But I'm sorry, that's the only way I can meet you at the moment, so let's start our conversation. So, son, can you tell me how you became a Ram Ray trialist? As far as I know, it should be in a place where it will never come out. β
Ram Rowrie, is it really because of it? Carlo's pupils dilated, and he involuntarily took a step back.
And all this was seen by the light and shadow, and he naturally understood that asking this question directly would definitely make the teenager in front of him feel the fear of the unknown, he just wanted to test the teenager's reaction. However, Carlo's performance disappointed him greatly, and if Ramro's trialist was just like this, then his wish would be difficult to fulfill.
"Looks like you're wary of me, but no wonder, well, let's start our conversation with ourselves. First of all, my name is Biam, but I don't use it often, not even many people know it, it's my own name, but over time, many of my kind may have forgotten their names and have been using honorific titles from other races. My other name, Na Rubis, is a forgotten man. β
Narubis, Carlo never thought that he would meet him at this time, and showed a surprised expression again, but then he was a little puzzled, Youlan once said that Narubis had been annihilated, could it be that she was not right?
"Oh, young man, have you ever heard the name?" Karlo's expression caught the attention of Light and Shadow.
"I... I don't know, I don't know if you're going to be the one I know. "Carlo Ding Shinto.
"Well, yes, that's an interesting coincidence, maybe you've been in that place longer than I thought, and you've seen my old friend. But I think you're already halfway convinced of who I am, and you don't know anything about me, otherwise you wouldn't suddenly switch to honorifics for me, but I don't like honorifics, so you don't need to. β
"Okay. β
"Well, okay, let's go ahead, and when I'm done introducing myself, I think you can confirm my identity as well.
I am supposed to be one of the oldest beings in this world, when many things were not born, we still existed, each of us is unique, you humans call us gods and demon gods, but there is no difference between the two in my opinion.
I don't know if you've heard that the world is made from one thing broken apart, and it breaks into pieces, and these huge pieces become different realms, different worlds, and you are born and multiply on these different realms. β
"Yes, this one someone once told me something similar. β
"Oh, yes, it looks like you've met an acquaintance of mine, after all, there aren't many people who think so.
Okay, go on, as these fragments slowly turn into colorful worlds, there are many smaller fragments of different sizes attached to these huge fragments. When the world changes, so do they. Many small pieces come together to form a few larger ensembles, while some of the larger pieces isolate themselves and protect themselves. Others, however, are gradually drawn to the changing world.
When everything was ready, there was a chain reaction in the realm that I still haven't been able to comprehend, and the new world was born, and the great explosion awakened the aggregates and fragments that had wandered around the realm, and we were born, and the aggregates formed the creatures that became the gods, of which I was one of them, and the large fragments were the later demon gods.
The reason why people call us separately may have something to do with the differences we formed, and when I was tracing the mystery of this formation with a demon god, I used to think that the gods were formed by a collective, so the things in the realm were more attractive to us, so most of us would give help and communicate with the races born in the realm, while the demon gods, because they isolated themselves from the beginning, tended to pay more attention to themselves, and only traded with other races when they needed to, so the two titles gradually formedγ β
Light and shadow slowly told a secret story, and at the same time, observing Carlo's expression, seeing that he was listening carefully, he said: "Why, haven't you heard of this story?"
Carlo shook his head.
"yes, it seems that the person who told you my name is not an old friend of mine, or that he doesn't have time to tell you our opinion. I have the impression that he is a storyteller, and he and I are both outliers.
Originally, I thought that if you met him, then the story I just told would definitely make you identify with me, but now it seems that I have to change the story. β
"Mr. Narubis, if you want to tell me who you are, tell me about your relationship with the gods. Carlo suddenly suggested.
"Oh, so you do know that old friend of mine, Ah Ermond. β
"Yes. Carlo admitted it.
"However, our relationship with the gods probably doesn't prove anything for me, as long as it's old enough, we know that the gods were created by us. Light and shadow said disdainfully.
"But there are a few things that only you know, about the material for the creation of the gods, and about Raid Luana. Thinking about the memory of the original Carlo, Carlo found some evidence, he wanted to verify the identity of the light and shadow at this time, he was in the Eastern Continent, he actually felt very helpless, and if the other party was really the original extinct Narubis, Carlo thought that he would definitely be able to help himself, at least through Youlan's narration, Narubis should be the one who would be on his side, even if he seemed to have no strength now, and at the same time carefully hide himself, but what Carlo needs at this time is his wisdom and knowledge.
"Luanna, it's rare that you still know her, well, indeed, if you know about this, I think we can both agree with each other's position and identity.
First of all, the creation of the gods was born out of Almond and I trying to explore ourselves, and the inspiration came from a maid named Yuhime that he made, but few people know that it all started with the birth of Luana's mother, Krena Land, many of our kind think that Krena Land is a demon god, but I know that she was created by Almond finding a huge fragment of the world, and then Luana was born, this child is an alien of the demon god, and the only demon god born through two demon gods.
And Yuhime was born with reference to the method of creating the land of Krena, and then there was the god we created, which is also the result of our crazy pursuit.
Kid, if you did communicate with Almond, he would at least tell you that he and Renault, the god of war of all races, fell because of the gods, and so did I. β
The light and shadow spoke in a sad tone, and Carlo finally believed in the identity of Narubis, but he also had doubts, obviously he said at the end that he had also fallen because of the gods, so who was in front of him at this time, was it his shadow?

Meanwhile, in the room where Carlo had been listening to the singing not so long ago, a visitor he didn't know was visiting the owner of the house, and they had been so close, so close that the visitor didn't even know he was so close to his target. Because when the visitor arrived, Carlo was still standing in front of the house and did not leave.
