Chapter 230: Isolation
The howling wind swept across the gray wasteland, and a dust storm covered in ash and debris suddenly set off on the low undulating slopes.
In this world surrounded by dead silence, the appearance of an artificially built tower in front of you undoubtedly adds a lot of intimacy. Rather than being lost in the wilderness of ashes and rocks, it is better to target the tower and find more clues about this place.
However, seeing the destination does not mean reaching it, and it takes a lot more time to cross the wasteland than you think. Curt couldn't help but sigh that even though it seemed like a distance to be within reach from a high dirt slope, it actually took more effort to walk.
By the time we reached the lake, the huge moon wheel hanging in the sky had risen to the zenith, and the faint green light that once radiated had been replaced by crimson. What is particularly incredible is that the surface of the moon seems to have been artificially depicted with many patterns, reflecting crooked graffiti.
But at this time, the two realized that the trouble they had to solve was not just a long cross-country, and the deserted lake did not seem to have prepared a ferry for travelers from afar. Even if they wanted to get to the foot of the tower immediately, they would have to find a way to cross the lake in front of them.
Curt calmed down and looked back at the scenery around him again, and there was no one else on the lakeside except for them, and through the oil on the surface of the lake, he could see the tall buildings on the opposite side.
Looking at the pitch-black tower, compared to the giant-like one, the "legacy of the Silver Dragon King" was nothing more than a child who had not yet stood up. I don't know who built it, but they're gone. They may have died with the wasteland.
The stone pillars that towered around the tower were made of many uneven materials, and they were painted with a layer of anger in the red moonlight. Exposed to the metallic stench of the lakeside. It seems that even the creatures of rock have been forced to change color.
Looking across the land, at the foot of the giant's buildings, there were many low ruins scattered around. A large number of broken steel and iron bones remain in the rubble, and the rusty image seems to tell the visitors that these "remnants" will one day disappear without a trace like fossils.
If this is a battlefield, the obstacles that are full of obstacles mean that there are as many places as there can be hidden from the enemy, and at some point the enemy will suddenly attack from the darkness. But in this lifeless wasteland, even to be able to see the enemy is a happy thing.
Alone.
I don't know why. The word popped into Curt's mind.
But they didn't have any reinforcements behind them, and they couldn't expect rescue as a plan, and they could only trust Lizzie. And assist her in her actions to find a chance to break the game.
Curt thought so.
It's funny to say that from the moment Lizzie was born into this world, he seemed to be acting with her at the center. Although I have forgotten how many long years have passed, until today. He still believes in Lizzie and works hard for her decision.
Maybe for some. Choosing to "believe" in others is a light escape option, in a sense even a renunciation of trying to improve yourself. After all, people other than themselves can't completely align their interests after all, even if they join forces for a while, they will still break up one day.
People are completely different individuals, so individuals can never fully understand each other. No, not just humans, but even other creatures, even the closest ones could secretly send a poison-stained dagger behind them.
Even with the help of others, there must not be a moment of slackness. Because in the eyes of these people, others are just pawns after all. They must stand at the apex and control them, one qiē with their own will as the highest priority. If you put your "hope" on others, you will eventually be swallowed up by others.
That's right, at least on the surface, these words are incomparably correct. I am not someone else, so it is better to become stronger than to believe in the strength of others, and it is better to work hard than to rely on the help of others...... This kind of action is perhaps one of the key points that distinguish the weak from the strong.
But if you only believe in yourself, then in order to achieve the desired goal, the individual must be perfect, and after all, human beings cannot become the gods they hope to be.
Just in the human group, there is an absolute level difference between mortals and "geniuses", and the skills that geniuses can easily master, mortals often need to spend more effort. This difference in talent cannot be made up for through acquired efforts.
And if you can't even believe people "outside of yourself", and only hold on to your own strength and refuse to reach other people, Curt really doesn't know whether to think this is a sign of self-confidence or inferiority. It is absolutely impossible to solve the problem of a qiē by oneself, so it is necessary to have the storage of a companion.
On top of this, the two members of the Leinster family have a higher level of trust.
It has nothing to do with the ethics that the world now thinks are the benchmark for operation, Curt simply trusts Lizzie, and Lizzie also has unconditional faith in him. Perhaps, in the eyes of two people whose memories can be shared with each other, the blind Cheng Dù of trust may be better than those who are blinded by the true eye.
But there is an absolute difference between the two.
For the members of the True Eye, the so-called "belief" is simply the fantasy they create for those weak human beings that are enough to drive them. It's like to drive the worker ants, the controller who is the "king" has made a collar and made them think that they are fighting for their ideals.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of those who influence them with "ideas", the so-called "believing" is meaningless. Perhaps because of this, they chose to make the entire Dominion hostile, and regardless of the interests they seeked, Curt even felt that the "trust" between them was not necessarily real trust, and that the man who threw them into the world was just a pawn in someone's hands.
He couldn't help laughing, now that he and Liqi had fallen into this strange world, not to mention expecting reinforcements, if he could find a way to return, he might have to thank fate for help. The worst possible outcome is to "save zài" endlessly in this lifeless world.
If you are an ordinary person, trapped in this world like a prison, there is still a way to "liberation" from death. Curt and Lizzie, on the other hand, have no chance of forgiveness, they are endlessly bound to their "unable to die" bodies, helplessly watching the world change.
That is, the soul that has been "chosen" and has gained mortal power, and it is also the soul that has been forcibly deprived of the wheel of rebirth and wanders in the world forever. Lucky or unlucky...... No matter how others interpret it, it is just a result worthy of self-deprecation for oneself.
"Are you ready? ”
Lizzie glanced at Curt and slowly stood up.
Her fingers were covered in a thick crust of ice, because she had just probed her fingers into the lake in front of her, without paying attention. The oily liquid was so cold that it would freeze into a popsicle at the slightest touch.
Completely invisible to the naked eye, the coldness contained in this lake is completely sealed off beneath the surface, and even if you put your hand on it, you can't detect it. However, if you put your hand into it, a daunting chill will immediately envelop every part of your hand, mercilessly depriving it of temperature.
At least it is unlikely that you will swim through, and even if you will slowly "recover" over time after being damaged, if you freeze into a popsicle, you will at least sink to the bottom of the lake until you recover. If so, you'll definitely have to spend more time on the process of moving.
There were no ferries around, and there were no boats to ride, and because the lake was too cold to swim across, a "bridge" had to be built.
"Sonic shaping builds the invisible way. ”
Lizzie shook her fingers slightly, the ice that had covered her there not long ago had melted, and there was still a little liquid on her thin fingertips. But soon, as the magic continued to pour out, even the little cold gray liquid that was left was vanished under the glow of the magic.
She wagged her fingers in the air to trace the shape of the Rubik's Cube, while she recited some strange incantations in her mouth. At first, Curt could make out some of the syllables he knew, but later, as Lizzie spoke faster and faster, all he could hear was a bunch of "voices".
In the blink of an eye, Lizzie's spell seemed to be complete, and the compressed sound spurted forward in an instant. Several Rubik's cubes condensed in front of her shot out, rolling up the dust and rubble that covered the ground, and at the same time, the magic quickly stretched forward, across the icy lake, and pulled a colorless bridge in midair.
This is an ancient spell called "Sonic Bridge", which uses the vibration of sound to construct an invisible bridge in the air that can barely hold the weight of several people. The slightly vibrating "colorless" is its body, and the impurities that have been rolled up have turned into the piers that support it.
Although it looks like most ancient spells, it is effective, but it lacks the corresponding stability.
Although the "bridge" built in this way is convenient, it is difficult to ensure the stability of its length and distance. Fortunately, although the lake is vast, there are also many sandbars that are exposed to the water, and it is not difficult to use those locations as a relay to use spells to get to Guò.
At this time, there was no way to pick and choose, so Curt once again carried Liqi on his back, and then stepped on the invisible bridge according to the action line set by the girl. (To be continued......)
