Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 131: Life is no more
The time-sparing conversation finally came to an end, and Gested Gerz, who had returned to his human form, seemed to be under invisible shackles, and although he had regained his freedom, he still followed closely behind Funoch.
The other party is happy to share with him what he has seen and heard in the past, and between words, whether intentional or unintentional, he will also reveal some metaphorical information.
At least now, Gai knew that the mysterious boy in front of him was also a runaway monster, seemingly a beginner in shapeshifting ability, who had just come out of a very cold place, and his facial muscles were frozen.
Also, he denied that he was a "divine beast".
"Demon beasts are not necessarily useless." Gai straightened the bow tie on his chest, so that the Holy Cross emblem embroidered on it was presented in front of people in the most dignified appearance, "When I was not independent, I thought that I had to get rid of the identity of a demon beast in order to transform into the form of other races and speak the language of other races. β
"But that's not the case." He pulled down the straps and let them bounce on the shirt that came with his human form with a crisp sound, "Demon beasts are a big category, and some beasts have mastered all the miracles they can find in their lives, and they can be called the strongest of the strong...... But there is not always a chance to be promoted. β
On the way deeper into the canyon, Gai boredly surveyed the surroundings, feeling that they were both familiar and strange.
He hadn't been back in a long time.
The place called "Calling Peace Valley" by human beings was directly involved in the war caused by human beings one day in the past.
As a result, all kinds of strange rocks, precious trees, famous relics that have been passed down through the ages, and the "living breath" of living beings are all covered by the smell of iron and blood, and are all swallowed up by countless fires and people's wails.
In the past, it was very lively and noisy.
On the branches of each tree that grows from the mountain wall, birds of different races will stay, sometimes singing in the treetops, sometimes jumping on nearby rocks, plucking weeds, seeds and small insects from the crevices of the rocks with their beaks to eat.
However, now, "things are not, people are not", no matter how rebellious the child is, when he sees today's scene, he will inevitably fall into confusion and even more intense emotions.
"Is there such a strong man in your family?"
Fang Nuo, who was walking in front, didn't notice the emotional changes of his companions at all, but thought of the group of elders in Huangxian Ridge from the other party's previous chat.
"I know a few such demon beasts, they have been looking forward to it for a lifetime, and they haven't been able to wait for the juniors to become higher-level life forms."
Although he claimed (in his heart) that he wanted to be friends with the pigeon he had just met, in fact he didn't take it seriously at all, and he still "went his own way" as before.
In Fang Nuo's view, as long as the attitude is put on the surface when doing something, then this matter is more than half completed.
This is especially true of making friends.
Anyway, no matter how the other party reacts, just report back to the past afterwards.
He doesn't need to be proactive.
"The Holy Cross blesses me, and a different time and space are above." He heard two prayers with different objects coming from behind him, and he turned his head to notice the pathos in the eyes of his companions who had changed into human form.
"I beg you to guide the souls of the dead lost in this place, and bless the living who have escaped this place, so that they can reach the next sanctuary safely."
"Hey." Fang Nuo jumped onto the low-hanging branch on the side of the road, and the entire beast's transformed human body hung upside down, his hands touching the ground with ease.
In such an upside-down posture that attracted the attention of others, he faced the cover as if asking, "What are you doing?!" Looks.
"You ...... to the two gods at the same time," Fang Nuo propped up his frozen cheeks and grinned, pointing out what puzzled him in the other party's approach, "Huh? What exactly are both? Some fictional concept? β
As a self-proclaimed very interesting demon beast, he asked all the second half of the sentence in his heart.
Fang Nuo withdrew his hand from the ground and kicked the trunk of the tree, allowing himself to jump with his strength, spin around in the air, and then fall lightly back to the groundβand in a rare and smooth way, he maintained his balance.
He touched his smooth chin and pondered the words he hadn't asked.
What is in another time and space, he knows; What is the Holy Cross, he also knows...... However, what he had never been able to understand was why those demon beasts or humans were praying and praying to the two of them.
Because they are their "faith"?
It's understandable to pray for the Beastmaster or the Flower Emperor for protection, for they are both alive or "ever lived" beings, but ......
Is the Holy Cross a concept invented by man, different from time and space? Just a star.
Even though it is their only star, it is the source of light and heat and life on the planet.
"I didn't get much education." Fang Nuo could only say that, even though he was the one who excelled in his studies among his peers, "Hmm...... Why do you pray to two beings at the same time? β
"Can you tell me?" Although he had other questions to ask, everything had to be done gradually.
When they first met, he took advantage of the pigeon's failure to react, and used an "improved" version of "begging for sealing" with excessive spiritual power, allowing his consciousness to ride directly into the wave of spiritual power and be washed into the other party's blue memory.
From this, Fonno saw some of the pigeon's past.
However, at that time, he was immersed in the "heavy" mood of being uprooted from his homeland, and he just needed a dose of flavoring like this, and he didn't plan to study it deeply, so he quickly returned to reality.
Now he began to regret it, and he felt that he should have looked more into the Holy Cross and the human side at that time, and it just so happened that the other party had all this information in his memory.
Compared to the mourning bird, which is confined to the vicinity of the dark forest, this pigeon delivered to the door can be called a real "good meal".
"Why not?" The white bird, which had turned into a humanoid form, scornfully "heh" and asked rhetorically, "They don't conflict." β
The bird knew that these two were imaginary "beliefs" that did not exist in the world.
"Why do you, then, regard false things as faith? There is only one alternate time and space, it is better to say, it is the source of life, but the 'Holy Cross'? "It can even develop into a Order, alas, every time I become interested in human behavior, I get stuck on this issue and let the time for thinking pass in vain." β
The "Mr. Yoi" he knew was, and probably still is, a member of the Holy Cross.
"Then again," he said without interest in listening to Gai's own words, "it turns out that the name of the other bishop of this church is 'White Bridge.'" β
"Is he a pure-blooded human, or an orc-half-blood, or a human disguised as an orc?"
Mr. Yoi has hinted that the "Bishop of Girim" of the Holy Cross may be a human possessed by an orc who has been embodied by the concept of "real".
"Mr. Shirabashi is human." Suppressed in anger, Gai replied, his cheeks already reddened, and his negativity was about to explode.
Every time they look at the bleak scene around them, the orcs who are still in the rebellious period always feel inexplicably aggrieved, sad, and remorseful...... And after listening to the words spoken by their companions in a lukewarm, emotionless tone, they all turned into anger.
To be sure, it's a kind of anger that comes from a sense of powerlessness.
"I've been instructed to clear the living organisms suspected of attacking the shelter." Gai said to himself in his heart, "This demon beast in front of you is very suspicious. β
"He's the most suspicious...... Because there are no other lifeforms nearby. β
Gai lowered his head, and kept muttering, and his voice became louder and louder:
"There are no other lifeforms!"
Because he showed himself as he prepared to strike, Fang Nuo easily avoided his surprise attack.
The silver-blue rope was released from his back on its own without Fang Nuo's active control, and this time, it was on the way to take the life of the attacker.
Ghad Gez is no longer a harmless passer-by monster, but an enemy beast that is truly attacking its wielder!
When Fang Nuo realized the practice of miracle creation, at that moment, his eyes radiated a cold brilliance.
He doesn't care.
At least, that's what he meant to be.
And when the silver-blue string turned into a ray of light and pierced the humanoid demon beast's body, causing the crimson color to burst out from its wound and splash into Fang Nuo's field of vision, his snow-white form moved.
Fang Nuo's body flickered, and in an instant, he came to the back of Gai, reached out and put his hand on the shoulder of the pigeon demon beast, and knocked it directly to the ground.
"It's so heavy!" The snow-white monster, which was also in human form, exclaimed, raised its free hand, and wrapped all the rampaging silver-blue strings around its arms, before slowly fading along his arms and returning to where they should have been behind him.
"Isn't my strength a little too small?" Fang Nuo crouched down and fiddled with a stone beside the pigeon demon beast.
It was also attacked by a silver-blue rope, and it fell off the side of the mountain wall and rolled to the ground.
"It's not like I haven't moved heavy objects before." He muttered, ignoring the demon beasts at his feet that wouldn't sneak up at all, "There's really no breath of other lifeforms here...... Spiritual perception has not been rewarded either. β
"It's like there's just been a killing...... A bloodbath. Fang Nuo raised his head as he analyzed the situation.
"It's really strange, not long ago, I sensed a very strong life signal around here, why can't I sense anything after I came in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body instantly elongated, transforming into a snow-white serpent large enough to fill the entire canyon.
All of this lasted only a brief moment, and he quickly returned to his human form.
Looking around at the trees and crushed rocks that had been crushed by his body, Fang Nuo licked his lips and savored the various spiritual powers he had tasted below.
At the same time, Gai, who was beaten to the ground by him, also propped up his body in shock, looking at the environment that had changed dramatically again, trembling all over, but unable to say a word.
"Aren't you afraid of crushing them to death?" The first thing that came to Gai's mind about the fact that his companions could become such huge creatures was the orcs who might still be hiding in the canyon.
"I wrapped my body in spiritual power." This time, Fang Nuo didn't ignore him, "This trick is used to open the way and clear the barricades, which is very convenient. β
"It doesn't hurt the animals." He added, "I haven't figured out the specific principle of the directional screening of spiritual power, but I have a way to use it in my memory. β
"What are you talking about......"
Unable to understand the words of his companion, Gai got up from the ground and had to admit that after being beaten and bleeding, his mind was much clearer.
"You just read my memory, you should know what I was sent to do, right?" Gai helped his forehead and said helplessly, "It's okay now, even if the camp is still alive, it will be crushed by you; Even if there are still people in it, if they don't run away when they meet the incident just now, they probably have half of their bodies in the ground. β
"It feels like I'm almost done." He sighed, patted the dust off his body, and overtook Fang Nuo, who was walking in front of him.
"Why did the war between human kingdoms spread to the Xuancai Mountain Range?" Fang Nuo felt that he was asking "why" all the way, and the answer given by the other party could not satisfy him.
"Because there's their power here." Gai was in the middle of a contradiction between the identities of humans and demon beasts, and he didn't know the answer to this question, so he could only answer with imagination and understanding, "Since someone can set foot in this place, it is not surprising that other things can come in." β
"Even if the thing that comes in is 'war'."
He raised his head and stared at the starry sky between the mountain walls on either side.
"Even if it...... This place is called 'Calling Peace Valley'. β
