Chapter 3 Lu 3: A Land of Nothing
Marshall doesn't have time to be sad here, she has never been given any time to practice for her past self since she was a child. This was destined to be the exhaustion and rush she was carrying. She looked silently at the bookshelf in front of her and pulled out the first volume of the History of the Yaris from the shelf. She shook slightly, the horror in her eyes turning to surprise.
Why are these books not as perishable as the letters written by Ewini on his desk, so to speak, the History of the Aris must be older than this letter. Marshall speculated that this was probably due to the fact that there was some kind of technique attached to the shelves that was able to preserve the quality of the books.
Even so, Marshall could not help but be cautious as he flipped through the yellowed book. She sat down on a stone chair and read the book slowlyβfor it was written in the ancient Yaris language, which was a little more difficult to read than the Yaris language it is today.
On the back of the book cover, Marshall can first see the first sentence written by the first monarch of Yaris, and this sentence actually gave her a new understanding of Yaris!
[I would like to use this book to remember and remember the allies who helped and accompanied the Yaris people, without whom Yaris would not have been built.] γ
Ally? Marshall's history teacher clearly told her that the Yaris was clearly built by the strength of the Lulings themselves - this is a history of blood and tears full of glory and miracles, where are there any allies!
Marshall was just about to continue flipping through the pages when a series of rattling noises suddenly erupted behind her. Startled, she dropped the book, grabbed the magic sword beside her hand, and turned away.
"I didn't expect this monarch of Yaris to be so young, and he is still a woman." These words came from the mouth of an elderly gray-white wolf beast in front of Marshall.
"Are you...... Who? Marshall said tremblingly.
The wolf orc ignored what Marshall said: "You are the current monarch of Yaris, even if you are not the current monarch, you will be the one who will become the monarch in the future." β
"I am the daughter of Jaris."
"The [Public Key] in your hand proves your identity, and there is no way to get here without the blood of the Jonny family."
Marshall was still wary: "How did you get here?" β
"Pull open the white book in the center of the bookcase." The wolf orc ignored Marshall's words, his voice still hoarse.
"Why?"
"To carry on the legacy and responsibilities of the Jonny family."
Marshall, half-suspiciously, reached for the white spine and pulled it out, only to find that there seemed to be a line hooked inside, and he couldn't pull it out completely. There was only a rumbling sound, and a secret door slowly opened from the side of the bookcase, and large chunks of moss slipped down, and Marshall tried to look in, this dark passage was not long, and he could see the gray scene on the other side.
"Where is this?" Marshall asked, trying.
The wolf orc stretched out his hand, pointed to the dusty Yongdao, and said hoarsely, "Go through it, and you will know everything." Time is running out, and I'll explain everything briefly to you there. So saying, he coughed vigorously, as if with each cough his vitality would weaken by two points.
Marshall really had no choice at the moment, so he had to obediently walk to the corridor and touch it little by little. This corridor is very short, and if she grows taller, she will definitely go forward with her body nestled. A total of twenty or thirty paces away, because of the slippery ground, walked for nearly two or three minutes, and when she walked out of this corridor, she was already in a cold sweat.
It is a nearly deserted palace with vines and moss. The window was covered with a very thick layer of ash, and the window was covered with a layer of green leaves, and the sunlight outside the window became dirty green. The only thing that can be seen in the palace is an iron throne in the center of the palace, which is completely integrated with nature around the throne, but the sharp-eyed Marshall can still see the dense magical lines all over the palace. In other words, this entire palace is a very large magic weapon!
Marshall walked step by step to the filthy and dilapidated throne, slowly caressing its rough surface with his hands.
"Miss Marshall, this is the oldest source of the Yaris royal family's contact with Rubis. You've been waiting for you for a long time. "The old gray-white wolf orc fell to his knees beneath the rusty throne.
Marshall didn't know where this guy knew his name: "This is ......"
"Lady Jonny, this is where most of the orcs in Rubis aspire......" It's been a long time since anyone has called Marshall's last name.
Marshall gasped, there was no one in the palace except the two of them.
"My father never spoke to you......" she muttered.
"But the chess player is long gone, and the chess pieces without the master are rusting, rotting, and rotting." The wolf orc smiled and said, "Only pure bloodline can activate this city of miracles, no, it should be called by its original name, [Land of Nothing] ......"
"When the hand reappears, the scars on the pieces will gradually disappear...... Leprosy scars that have grown on the skin sacs should also be removed quickly......"
"I, are you sure you're talking about me?" Marshall hasn't quite reacted yet.
"You're the chess player! I have been an acolyte of the Jonny family since I was a child, and I am sure that you will truly ascend to the highest throne! β
"You ......" Marshall was about to step down from the throne, but the key on her chest floated again, the dim lines were becoming crystal clear again, and the warm magic luster was like a round of the morning sun, squirming in every corner of the ruined palace, gradually flowing into the depths of every old magic pattern.
"Even if I die, I have that lovely son, and even if my son dies, I have that grandson who I love...... Our family members' first name is always 'None' and your last name is always Jonny. It's amazing! β
Buzz β
The magic that suddenly gushed out from the ground illuminated the palace brightly, and the branches and leaves on the walls instantly merged into the wall, becoming a beautiful and lifelike painting! The floating ash on the ground was cleared in just a few breaths, and every hall in the palace once again looked glorious and enviable.
"This is a palace of nothing. Only when there is nothing can there be hope for a miracle......" Wu seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and sat tremblingly on the ground, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, crackling and dissolving into the ground, as if irrigating plants that were growing wildly, "Ewini, my mission is over, and it is time to go with you." Coughing forcelessly, his teeth kept falling to the ground with the blood, but soon turned into a cloud of green smoke and steamed upward, he could no longer maintain his body, and the flesh gradually melted and collapsed one by one.
Before Marshall could move his steps, the old wolf orc had already turned into a pile of bones and became part of the palace.
Marshall believed that the Jonny family had never let down the "land of nothing".
Gazha! The door of the palace was pushed open, leaking in a damp, slimy sunlight that seemed to erode the cool and cheerful atmosphere of the room.
Walked in a skinny, skinny wolf orc. His eyes were blue, as if he had a bottomless spring, and his eye grooves were deep, were they naturally deep......
He's not the same as Haru, but there seems to be something about it...... Surprisingly ...... Unanimous...... But they don't know each other.
"Hello, Miss Marshall." The young wolf orc bowed heartily to Marshall, "You can call me 'Wu', it is a helper to assist the future monarch in maintaining the [Land of Nothing] and Yaris, you can call me a butler, or you can call me 'Wu'." β
"None." Marshall retrieved the [Public Key] that the old wolf beast had spoken of, and her mind was now blank, and she didn't even know what to do, "Is my father dead?" β
"Only when the previous king of Yaris dies will the [Communal Key] change hands." "Miss Marshall, you are the hope for the future of our Promised Land, and I hope you can act as soon as possible to reorganize the gradually crumbling city." Orcs will always be allies of humanity. β
"Allies?" Marshall was even more puzzled, "I...... I don't understand. β
"You don't seem to know the history of Yaris." "But it doesn't matter, because it's the only place of tranquility that records all the truth about Yaris." Let me tell you how Yaris was built in the chaos in the first place. β
Marshall naturally sat down on the throne, patted the armrest of the throne, and said, "Come here, sit here." β
"Thank you very much!" His eyes lit up, and he seemed to be very excited, and he ran over in three or two steps and sat down on the armrest of the throne.
"I have a friend who looks a lot like you." Marshall said slowly, "I miss him so much, he is stronger than you." β
"Really? Is he doing well now? β
"He died, died to protect me. His name is, Chun. β
Wu adjusted the position of his tail, he seems to be very good at closing the distance with people: "There will inevitably be partings in life, everyone has their own destiny, and death is also a necessary journey." β
"You can start talking." Marshall didn't want anyone to talk about her sore spots, "and, I wanted to know, what exactly I was supposed to do." Time is precious, and I can't spend all my time here, at least at this moment. β
Wu nodded, and then said, "Yaris is Yaris who belongs to men and orcs. And the [Land of Nothing] and the Vatican are the two capitals of Yaris, but the situation of this [Land of Nothing] is somewhat special. β
"What do you mean Yaris that belongs to men and orcs?"
"Yaris was founded by both men and orcs." Wu said, "It seems that the current Yaris don't like us orcs very much. β
"It's a lot different now." "That's a long story." β
"Time is really running out, so I'll give you a brief explanation of the origin of this [land of nothing]."
Marshall only learned today that the Yaris had been built by both men and orcs. So why is the relationship between the two so bad now?
