Chapter 20: A World Like a Candle in the Wind
The Thren Plane of Matter.
The afterglow of the setting sun was miserable in the woods.
The autumn wind was blowing, and there was no fruit left on the chestnut tree.
The man who had stepped on the pile of rotting berries took a deep look at the bamboo forest in the distance, where countless pairs of scarlet eyes were staring at him.
He didn't immediately turn around and run away, but took out his two-handed greatsword full of gaps and slowly retreated.
The lamp on his waist glowed slightly, feeling the danger approaching.
"Come on, baby, though your flesh cannot be eaten." In fact, the exhausted man was provoking the monsters in the forest.
After a moment's hesitation, the monsters didn't chase them out in the end.
Licking his chapped lips, the man didn't dare to relax, and the fighting spirit in his body was brewing all the time.
A sixth-level warrior is also considered a strong man in the material plane.
"Sa!" A diseased Wind Shadow Wolf leaps down from a nearby tree.
This monster was previously hidden in the shadow of the canopy, making it difficult to spot.
The big sword was horizontal, and with the wide blade of the sword, the wind shadow wolf was pressed to the ground, and he stepped on it, killing the diseased fifth-level demonic beast with ease.
Under normal circumstances, Warcraft is more powerful than humans, because the wisdom of Warcraft is not low, and when it reaches level seven or above, the wisdom of Warcraft coupled with its innate strong physique can crush humans of the same level.
But the diseased monster is basically as intelligent as a beast.
"Damn the death plague magic, I can kill the fifth-level demonic beast with my hands, but I can't be happy." The man gave up on entering the area to gather food, kicked the corpse of the Storm Shadow Wolf, and quickly turned and fled.
The wind fighting spirit made him run very fast, and the blue fighting spirit was like a cloak.
The dimly lit mountain road was difficult to walk, and with a sword slashed the head of the snake that first emerged from the stream, he was chased away by dozens of snakes.
Finally came to the outside of the mountains and forests, in the mist of dusk, the world seemed to be a painting with a thick color.
"If you don't get food from the green forest, you have to go to the planting field, damn it, you can't make ends meet."
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the only harvest he had had in the forest, the water he had received when he entered the forest, which had been purified with a stove lamp.
Pulling on his hood and wrapping his tattered cloak, the man left the place before the fog approached, and went to a place where there was a human track.
The planting land is a field that he has opened up, and he can't cultivate it carefully, so it all depends on the fertile land here to grow naturally.
"This piece of soybeans is contaminated and cannot be eaten......
Hey? Got a gourd? I don't grow gourds, but Lisna likes gourds and can bring them back to her.
Fortunately, the crops in the ground were not contaminated. ”
The man took a deep breath, put the harvest into a linen bag and slung it over his shoulder, looked back at the night approaching from the verdant forest, sighed and began his journey back.
"It's better to be a magician, but it's a pity that I don't have that qualification." He sighed, and it was hard to think that his family would suffer as much as he did.
He carried a large sword, carried a cloth bag, and walked in the thin light of night for about an hour, and finally returned to the area where humans lived.
"Who?" In the distance, people on the watchtower held stove lamps and asked.
"Me, Gundam!" The man held up his stove lamp, and the two stove lamps gently echoed.
This alchemy item that has applied light magic needs to be replenished regularly to have the effect of identifying alliances.
If the furnace lamp is still shining normally, it means that the wielder is not tainted by darkness or death magic.
"Gundam-sama! You're finally back, worried about us to death. ”
The people on the watchtower were no longer nervous and waved their furnace lamps at the watchtower farther away.
"It's hard work to see the sentry vigil." Gundam fished out half of the sweet potato from the cloth bag and threw it on.
The head sentinel, which is the outermost sentinel, has the highest mortality rate.
The sentry hurriedly caught it and said with a smile, "It's worth it to have something to eat from Lord Gundam." ”
Gundam stopped talking and walked straight inside, the other sentinels looking at him expectantly, but they didn't get anything.
The sentinels quickly realized that Gundam had not gained much this time, and they were relieved.
Gundam would give the sentries a little food every time they had a good harvest, and only when they were in distress would they give a little food to the sentry.
Once in the camp, Gundam stubbornly refused to look at the people who were waiting for him to come back and give him some alms, and when the thin ones saw that Gundam did not fill even half of the sack, they left in silence.
Cruel world, sad times.
Back at his house, which was clearly separate from the rest of the camp to the north of the camp, Gundam knocked lightly on the door.
A woman whose hair was not clean, but whose face was faintly visible, wiped her eyes and finally put away the day's fears.
She blamed her man: "Why did you come back so late." ”
"I'd like to go a little bit more and find out if there's any ......," Gundam tried to explain, handing over the cloth bag in his hand.
The woman took the cloth bag and raised her voice while frowning: "You brought food to those people again, Gundam?" Tenin, we can't protect ourselves! ”
"No, Lisna, I don't have ......," Gundam said with difficulty.
There was a three-second silence in front of the door.
He would hide something from her, but never lie, which meant that what her husband said to her was true, and that was all he had to gain today.
It's been like this for too long, and the terrible pressure doesn't give Lisna words of encouragement, so she takes off the stove lamp that rises to her waist and goes into the kitchen to start cooking.
Gundam went to the dining room and touched the head of his daughter, who was sleeping on the table.
The daughter woke up rubbing her worried eyes and called her father crisply.
"Did you play with the other kids today?" Gundam cares about her daughter's daily life.
"No, Mom told me that they were all boys in little dresses!" The daughter choked Gouda with a word, and she couldn't speak.
No way, on the other side of the verdant forest, the source of the evil that led to all this disaster, he likes to capture boys and train them to be brainwashed into dark knights.
So much so that having children has become a normal practice in every family, but fortunately, it is indeed a daughter in his family.
The food was quickly served, there was something to eat, and the water was also poured into the glass bottle, and by listening to the sound, you could tell that the water in the bottle was running out for a long time.
"Eat more and grow your body." Gouda persuaded his daughter, who was full of food but kept glancing at the plate.
Lisna was silent and stuffed a sweet potato with shiso leaves into her mouth.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the food you got back from the plant?" What about the soybeans that are sown? ”
"Sorry, they're contaminated with the plague, black, rotten......" Gouda was a little ashamed, the rations for growing soybeans were saved from home.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have had expectations, I told you earlier, don't plant surface crops!" Lisna couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, her long, slightly curly blonde hair hadn't been washed for a long time, like a dirty child.
Gundam just stepped forward and hugged her.
"I'm sorry." Lisna finally couldn't hold back her tears, "I can't help it. ”
"It's not your fault." Gundam knew that the girl who used to like to draw in the city of Prior had never changed, but was only affected by the aura of dark magic.
The thing that slowly erodes the will of man, vicious, filthy, will turn man into a diseased monster.
Handing the lamp to Lisna, Gouda said, "I'm going to rest, you guys take the lamp with you to purify your negative emotions." ”
Gundam came to his room and slept in separate rooms to avoid the possibility of bringing unclean things from the wilderness.
He took off his armor and gritted his teeth, looking at a wound in his waist and abdomen, the damn Shadow Wolf had actually hurt him, an assassin-like monster that had cast shadow blade magic.
Skillfully sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound, Gundam didn't dare to tell his wife and daughter about these things, and the real man was speechless and carried everything.
"Damn Demaroyin, damn dark magic, damn death magic......"
He turned his pain into a curse and whispered to the culprit who caused it all.
Demaroyin, the most genius magician the world has ever seen, was hailed as a legend in history a thousand years ago.
However, a hundred years ago, this Death, Darkness Dual Cultivator, who had become a god, began to go crazy.
His temperament changed drastically, and he declared war on the world, and all countries and all lives in the continent of Ceron within a radius of 100,000 miles were involved in this war between man and god.
Demaroyin wants to make the whole world sink in death and darkness, and help him understand the rules of death and the mysteries of darkness.
The lower gods who are like ants in the four supreme planes, and the material plane at this time is the real myth.
The weak gravitational pull, the elements of heaven and earth that dominate at will, seem to have released the same divine consciousness.
With his minions, Demaroin turned the whole world into his cage, keeping survivors in captivity.
The Plague of Death Magic Souls in the Sanctuary has caused countless lives to become brainless walking corpses that have lost their wisdom.
The dark magic of the Sanctuary defiled the spiritual aura, and it was even more portrayed by the minions of an unknown number of Demaroyin, in the form of a magic array, everywhere in the world.
The Bright Furnace Lamp is currently the only force that ordinary people can resist the influence of the aura.
A level 6 warrior can ignore the aura effect, while a mage only needs level 5.
But no one can withstand the soul plague, and there is the power of the death rule imposed by Demaro Yin in it.
"God of Death and Darkness, Demaroyin!" Gundam hated the name of the evil god.
He knew that he would not be able to take revenge on the world-destroying god in his life.
His path as a warrior is nearing the end, and a sixth-level warrior is also a principality general before the end, but he is too far away from God.
Warrior Apprentice, 1st Rank Warrior, 2nd Rank ...... Ninth-level warrior, sanctuary, god.
The ninth-level warrior was high above, the king was torn apart, and the holy realm was ethereal.
Unexpectedly, Nademaroyin was unwilling to ascend to the legendary supreme plane, and wanted to be the supreme god in his hometown on the material plane, and regarded all life as his further resources.
"Do you have to wait for death in such a predicament?" Gundam knows where he stands.
In the camp, he is a powerful level 6 warrior who can walk out of the camp and bring back food, without having to rely on the camp's messy and even mashed pumpkin vine-like food distribution.
But in the eyes of the real strong, he is an ant who can be crushed to death at will.
"Is there only one god in the world? Why didn't the legendary god come down to earth and punish this wicked man......"
Where is the true God? How can we condone that which bears the name of God and does the deeds of the devil and tramples on this world?
Gundam is angry at his own weakness and the ruthlessness of the gods.
Lost in the lake, he fell asleep with exhaustion and pain.
He slowly fell into his dream, not knowing if it was an illusion, he felt a soft light at the end of the distant sky in his dream......
