Chapter 164: The Garden of Struggle (I)
The second chapter was sent, and the third chapter came soon, continuing to beg for everyone's monthly pass support.
.................. It was the sky without a little other color, and the blue hue stretched all the way to the other side of the world. The fierce wind blew and made people almost unable to open their eyes.
Ulysses blinked, how could there be such a strong wind in the canyon. Moreover, the position of the sky also looked a little strange, as if it was constantly moving away from him.
"Whew, whew!" The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the feeling of being far away became clearer and clearer.
Ulysses stretched out his hand, as if to touch the blue sky. But as soon as he moved, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. His body doesn't have any focus point, and it should be a simple action to reach out his hand, but it is not easy to do it at all.
No, no, he's not moving away, he's sinking! he's falling!
"Wow, ahh
"Boom!" The blue waves flew in the sky, and countless fish were so frightened that they jumped out of the lake, and for a time the silver light flashed on the lake, and there were fish flying around everywhere.
After a few minutes, a mysterious floating object was added to the small lake, floating in the sunny waters.
About a minute later, on the shore on the other side of the lake, a silver light also appeared, and the position of the light appeared about twenty meters above the ground, worse than Ulysses.
But the figure that came from that light did not fall out, but came out.
With long silver braids, firm red eyes, and two swords behind her back, it was the silver-haired girl Ulysses wanted to meet who came here. Compared to Ulysses, who fell from the sky without knowing anything, she was obviously calm for an unknown number of times.
Also falling from a high altitude, she skillfully maintained the balance of her body, spun several times in the air, and then landed on the beach by the lake with a beautiful turn, making the greatest use of the cushioning force of the sand surface and reducing the impact on the body to a minimum.
"Has it begun?" After landing, the silver-haired girl quickly observed her surroundings, and then began to calculate the information as quickly as possible.
The terrain is a mixture of lakes and forests, the depth of the lake is about 20 meters, there are no large beasts living in the lake, and there are no traces of any powerful monsters around.
That is, the battlefield has not yet begun.
"Huh?" The girl who spotted an unidentified object floating on the surface of the water was stunned, what was that? It looked like a human, but there shouldn't be anyone else here.
Even if there were, it should be a humanoid monster, which is quite a formidable enemy. But the enemy, who looked like a half-drowned frog, couldn't really imagine how powerful it would be.
That's really human. After confirming this, the girl's expression was a little complicated, because she knew that if it wasn't a monster who came here, then it would only be someone else, someone who competed with her.
It is a garden of struggle, a brutal and unforgiving battlefield, a world that only the chosen can enter, a world that is free from the unreal and the real. Even if she had a huge relationship with the birth here, she couldn't change the rules here.
The rules of this world are unforgiving and will not be tolerant to anyone.
"Forget it, it's just a kid, it shouldn't matter. Without hesitating for long, the girl chose to save the child.
That's one of the principles she holds to herself, and no matter what time it is, the children who represent the future of the world always have a high priority in the part she can protect. Because they are the hope of this world, the seeds of the future.
The lake was not very deep, and there was a strange warmth, so it did not take much effort for the girl to approach Ulysses, and swim with him to the other side of the lake.
It took her some time, and by the time she brought Ulysses back to land, there were already some stray footsteps on the other side of the woods.
"Are you coming?" the girl placed Ulysses on the ground, and slammed it on his heart. Having learned battlefield nursing, she is no stranger to rescuing drowning people.
"Ahem!" Ulysses, who had been shaken out of his throat by the subtle force, coughed loudly, and then saw the beautiful face that made his heart flutter.
With silver braids, clear red eyes, and a slightly pale face, he went out alone precisely because he wanted to see her again.
"Are you awake? It's almost time out, you have to remember every word I say. Just looking at Ulysses' bewildered expression, the silver-haired girl knew that he was unfamiliar with everything here.
This is because the "Garden of Struggle" is a place of people who choose to come here in response to the wishes of different people, and sometimes some people themselves are not aware of their deepest desires.
However, since he has come here, it means that he must have been chosen.
"It's a very, very dangerous place, and there's going to be a fight later. Before the battle begins, tell me what sword you have. ”
Only those who possess the "sword" can be summoned here, this is an absolute law. So whether you understand what is going on here or not, as long as you come here, you must have gotten the sword.
"Sword?" Ulysses didn't know what the silver-haired girl was talking about, where he had a sword on him.
"Yes, the sword that belongs to you, the sword you choose. The silver-haired girl looked at Ulysses' hand with some confusion.
For it did not look like the hand of a man with a sword in any way, and the fingers were slender and pale, and they looked like the hands of a magician.
"I don't have a sword, where the hell is this, am I not sleeping?" Ulysses shook his head, finally seeing the person he wanted to see, but in such a strange situation, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"You don't know anything, and you don't know what your sword is?" The silver-haired girl's expression was a little strange, this was a very small probability, so small that it was almost negligible.
"I don't know. "Ulysses really didn't know anything, and everything about the sword had been forgotten by him.
But the sword is still in his body, and even though all the memories are gone, the sword will not abandon him, but will still be with him, waiting for him.
That's why he came here, to this garden of struggle, to represent the world of the battlefield, the world between the real and the unreal.
"Hopefully you'll remember it sooner. Otherwise, we're in big trouble. The silver-haired girl pulled out the twin swords behind her back and said to Ulysses very seriously.
In the woods in the distance, the first wave of enemies has arrived.
