Chapter 1321: I'm Happy Now
As soon as he said his intentions, Lin withdrew the khan and hung it on his belt. Picking up Ezio again, he flashed to the bottom of the cliff where Marlene might have fallen. Fen followed.
The dense forest under the cliff is green and full of life in this spring. Fresh shoots, leaves that have regrown after winter, and countless signs that everything in the forest is bursting with vigor and recovering from winter.
It is precisely because of this that someone's detection results are troubled. It is said that Lin's previous use of the Arcane Eye was mostly aimed at the town environment. Such an environment conforms to the most basic rule, which is that everything in the town is made available to "people".
But the woods don't have this kind of limitation, everything you see grows densely, fighting for a little living space in the crevices. The creatures that live in it are also large and small, some of them are drilled in the earth, some are climbed on the ground, some are jumping from trees, and some are flying in the sky. These are all interfering with someone's detection methods.
If the person who fell was an adult, it might be easier to find such a target. It was a preschool child who fell down, and Marlene was under someone's impression that she was even thinner than children of the same age, and she looked like she had been malnourished for a long time. And creatures of this size level make up the majority, if not everywhere in the forest.
As soon as he appeared behind someone, he asked, "How are you going to find someone?"
"Well, let's have some light first." Lin casually pointed to himself, and with himself as the center, the range within a radius of ten meters suddenly lit up.
The brightness is comparable to that of a day under a large sun, and it does not have a clear light source like ordinary light optics. One of the biggest features of Lin's light technique is that there are no shadows! Light comes from all directions and shines on everything. This ability is not something that ordinary magicians can do, and even if Fen wants to do the same thing himself, he can't lift a weight like someone.
The biggest benefit of lighting up all around is that you can see more clearly. Although Lin and Fen both have abilities similar to dark vision, they will inevitably miss some possible clues.
It's just that even if it lights up, Lin Zuo and right, he can't see why. I'm not even sure if my location is the same place where Marlene fell.
After all, Ezio's memory is not an objective fact, but his subjective cognition. This means that if he misunderstood or misremembered it in the first place, the message sent through the Khan of the Khaki would also be wrong. That's the limitation of memory.
Reading the confusion and urgency in someone's mind, he said out loud, "If you don't know where to start, how about asking Scott to help?"
Scott, a member of the Crate Clan. A short sword. It is best at warning holders when a crisis is approaching. This trait is quite popular among some of the weaker races, but it has been neglected ever since it fell into the hands of the self-proclaimed powerhouses of the Holy Sword Society.
When Crate Scott is summoned by someone using flashing, it retains its original form. The blade of a willow leaf, with a thin curve, glowed with silver. Other than that, the cross sword and the leather-wound grip are all unremarkable, and they don't show any special physiognomy. It can be said that judging from the appearance alone, this is a very ordinary weapon.
But this initial appearance changed immediately in Lin's hands. In the past, the larger the size of the Cutters, the more energy they had; Smaller means weaker. Because smaller boxes have to pay more energy to cut in order to displace more mass of matter to make them larger; Conversely, it is effortless to reduce the volume.
However, today's box cutting is no longer limited by energy reserves, and body size is certainly no longer a constraint. So when it came to someone's hand, the box cut Scot got rid of the old concept and kept shrinking. Eventually, it shrunk into a small round bead on the palm of the hand, about the size of a fingernail.
Because Lin was in direct contact with Khan and Scott, the three consciousnesses were connected. There is no need to say anything more about this. But Fen, who was a bystander, didn't understand the purpose of a box-cutting weapon that shrunk into a bead.
I just wanted to ask, but I saw the round bead in Lin's palm flying up at a lightning speed! And on the trajectory of its flight, it brought out a colorful mist of light. In an instant, it bypassed all the areas within a radius of more than ten meters. And the proof is that the multicolored light mist almost takes up the entire space.
Khan first said, "Sao Bao guy, don't say that you have been going around like this for a long time and have not found the slightest clue. Then I will despise you for the rest of my life."
How could I have no clues. Hmph, please call me Scott Holmes from now on. Let's take a look here." Scott froze in mid-air, spinning in place. Constantly expanding the range of the multicolored light mist so that everyone can clearly see its location.
For a short distance, Lin didn't want to waste time, so he grabbed Ezio and flashed it over. Finn made the same choice. When the three of them arrived at the location indicated by Scott, they looked up and saw that the branches were broken, and the shape of the canopy was somewhat unnatural.
Scott said, "This should be the trail of the fall. And then—" The bead instantly ran to another spot below, twirling around to mark it," —there was fresh blood left here. At least for a day."
As soon as she heard that there was blood, Fen walked over without giving in. The location Scott indicated was a low grove of trees, one of which was stained with a thick, bright red liquid.
If it were left on Earth, I am afraid that the liquid sample would have to be sent to the laboratory for comparison, so that it would be possible to determine who the source of the red liquid is, or what it is. But as a master of biological genetics in the Lost Land, Finn certainly has a whole set of related magic.
I saw her hands sealed, and she built a small magic formation in the air, and the blood stains on the branches of the tree were pierced. Finn had a flash of sharpness in her eyes and said, "This is indeed Marlene's legacy." As for the sample problem, Fen has treated Marlene in the past, and there should be relevant information for comparison.
Lin didn't question it either. He understands Fen's ability. Finding a clue, a group of people chased the trail. Worryingly, however, what Scott was directing to follow was not the traces of blood left by Marlene along the way, or the traces of the little girl struggling to get out of the forest, but the tracks of wild beasts.
This time, Lin didn't use the flashing technique to move forward again, but followed Scott's footsteps, step by step. With each step forward, the three people who thought of a certain possibility were also tormented, and their hearts became heavier and heavier.
At the end of the footprint, it was a picture that no one wanted to see. A few wild dogs were huddled around, looking down and nibbling on something.
Seeing this, Lin exclaimed, "Phew!" Drove away the wild dogs. With another finger of the sword trick in his hand, Scott, who was in the form of a sword pill, flew forward, passing through the brains of several wild dogs in an instant. The mist of multicolored light was like a ribbon, drawing a deadly trajectory in the air that connected the wild dogs.
Everyone only listened to the continuous sound of "poof", and the wild dog did not even have a chance to whimper, and died directly.
However, in the next picture, Rao is a traverser who thinks he has become accustomed to the cruel environment of the land, and he is still so shocked that he is speechless.
A small body that had been gnawed to the point of being torn to pieces, and the clothes on its body were torn in the process of falling off the cliff, or torn by wild dogs. There are two big holes in the eyes, and the eyeballs are long gone. The entrails were dragged out and spread out in a mess. The hands and feet are unnaturally bent, and the bones are gnawed out.
At this moment, Ezio broke down and cried.
Lin tentatively asked the person next to him, "Is there any salvation?"
Fen shook her head.
Then he asked, "What about the resurrection?"
The beautiful face, which has always been cold, also showed a trace of pity at this time. Fen thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "The resurrection technique is not used on children. For adults, they have enough money to ignore the side effects; But for children, resurrection is like a curse. That just gave her more torture."
The discussion between the two adults was quiet and did not help much. Ezio had crawled to Marlene's side crying, picked up the lifeless remains, and kept saying, "I'm sorry." The sound is so desolate that everyone who hears it is sad.
That's when Fen felt something. Nodding slightly, he stepped forward and shouted, "Don't cry." I can ask you to say a final goodbye to Marlene, and she wants to say something to you, too. Do you want to hear it? If you want to, don't cry anymore."
When Ezio heard this, he immediately shut up. A handful of snot and a handful of tears, looking at the original lich who spoke stupidly.
Fen didn't make any big moves, just a snap of his fingers. A transparent blue figure rose faintly from the remnant.
That was the best thing Marlene could remember in her own memory. She looked at her hands in disbelief, at the red-eyed boy in front of her, and at the two magicians standing behind Ezio.
After only a moment of confusion, she smiled and stretched out her right hand, saying, "Ezio, I have kept my promise and picked a little yellow flower." Then he found that he had nothing in his hand, and said in disappointment, "I did pick it, but I don't know where it fell."
Ezio grinned and said, "I know, I saw you pick a little yellow flower."
Really. That's great." Marlene was happy for a moment, and then said with some disappointment, "It's just that I don't seem to have a way to play with you."
Hearing this, Ezio burst into tears again and kept saying, "I'm sorry."
Marlene smiled and said, "I just wanted to say it to you, don't say I'm sorry to me. I like Ezio the most, he's handsome and nice to me. I still remember that day, the day you brought me back. I remember being held by you and seeing you from below up. That was the first thing I remembered. Every day after that, I was happy. The time I spent with you was the happiest day of my life. So please don't say sorry to me, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for bringing me back on that day."
What qualifications do you have to say these three words for a lifetime! How old are you......
Someone's complaint didn't say it, because Lin could see that the little girl's time was really running out. Her figure kept changing, as if it was about to disappear in the next moment.
Marlene knows this too. Looking at her disappeared hands, she didn't feel scared or scared at all. Instead, he seemed to accept everything, comforting the still sad boy and saying, "Don't cry anymore, Ezio. What I like most about you is the way you usually look, with a group of people, doing things that many people can't do. Ezio is the most handsome like that, so I've always wanted to hang out with you. It's just that I can't do it now, so please don't forget me, okay?"
The boy who couldn't speak, just nodded desperately. Reaching out to grab the girl's last remnant. However, the smile was not left, and only Marlene's last voice was heard: "Goodbye." I'm so happy to finally be able to talk to you."
When the girl disappeared completely, the forest that should have been peaceful was left with only a heart-rending cry.
Lin no longer struggled with why he couldn't save the girl. Instead, he took off his ordinary burlap robe, took the stump from Ezio's hand, and wrapped it tightly. He roughly pulled up the weeping child and said, "Remember today's lesson. You should be more gentle with everyone and be careful with everything you say."
Ezio, who was being pulled up, subconsciously looked at someone. Lin also knew that this was not a good time to preach, because this kid couldn't listen at all, and he didn't have that mood. He said, "Let's build a grave for Marlene." And then go home."
Ezio nodded.
That night, Fen, who hadn't seen someone in the attic room, thought about it and used flashing to go to Marlene's grave. It was the small platform where Ezio's small group went about their day-to-day activities. It's buried here because Fen thinks Marlene wants to stay in a place like this.
The view from this small platform is beautiful, with the sunset, the forest, and the shape of Ezio's daily exercise, if the group of children does not change their position in the future. It's just that this night, there is no group of friends that Marlene wants to see, just a lonely person, quietly looking at the sea of trees under the moonlight.
Fen's appearance, of course, Lin is clear. But he didn't look back, he just said, "I really didn't expect that there were such people in that group of children who were so afraid of loneliness."
"There will be any kind of person, and if you don't get in touch with it, you won't meet it."
Listening to a certain original lich say the anti-house declaration, someone felt extremely harsh, but he couldn't refute it. Lin had no choice but to change the subject and muttered, "Am I ignoring those children too much? Maybe I should care more about them?"
"Don't be stupid." Without hesitation, Fen poured a bucket of cold water down and said, "Your fault is that you are too extreme. It's either indifferent or all-incomprehensible. But it's not you who those kids need. Well, strictly speaking, it's enough for you to keep them warm and starving. The only thing that can help them grow is each other."
I'm a toolman. And the path of life is either a dead house or a licking dog, and there is no third way to choose." Lin looked back at Fen and complained.
Yes. Tell me, what else can you do?" After Fen criticized sharply, he said gently, "If you want me to say, you should be the same as before, and don't change anything." With that, she stood beside someone. And he said, "Unless you are going to have children of your own and change your mind." If you just want to use them as a substitute, and it's optional, then don't change it."
Suddenly, Fen had a mischievous idea and jokingly said, "Why don't you give birth to one and try to be a father for real?" I can't help it, but you should know what your two apprentices are thinking about staying until now."
With a shudder, someone shrunk his neck and said, "Forget it, it's the same as before, it's good."
