Chapter 5: Shadow Fall (29)
[The defect of "devouring" memory, manifested as the "correction" of personality]
On the east side of the Hall of the Immortals, the patrol was wandering and looking at the sky that flashed by, and the blindfolded horses seemed to be frightened for a moment, and suddenly turned in circles in place, and had to pull hard.
The animals that had not seen the light for too long were screaming all around, and even the plants that had suddenly never seen the sun again one day turned from damp and sultry withering to new ones—their broken sprouts were tilted to the southeast, in the direction in which the light was concentrated.
"Something's going to happen...... "Sinokos jerked his horse's head, turned around, the brown saddle swayed, and the sword at his waist quickly loomed with the glowing crystal.
"Hey! Sir Sinokos! The deputy of the patrol stretched out his hand to stop him, but he was suddenly crossed by Sinokos, who looked at the speeding figure of Sinokos, turned to the team, and everyone followed with a whip.
The horses trampled on the dying plants in the dark night when the weather was satisfied, and as a patrol officer, it was not allowed to run wild, as it would attract the attention of the werewolves in the vicinity, and of course, it was not the werewolf's business now.
It was clear that there might be a more difficult enemy at the headquarters of the Immortal Hall now, and the deeper this premonition, the more gloomy the faces of the members of the Immortal Hall Patrol became.
"What's wrong?! Sir Sinokos?! ”
The vice-captain roared loudly behind Sinokos.
"......Shh
Werewolves...... Already in action......
Sinokos only gritted his teeth, and he looked back and yelled sternly: "Hurry up!" I don't want to be dealt with by military law! Just keep up! ”
Guy who doesn't keep his word......
Sinokos could only do anything as fast as he could, which made his heart itch with extreme horror, which was not a fear, but a torment between the unrevealed lie and the undefeated.
He made a pact with the werewolves to open the gates of the weakest city in exchange for the [respective treasures] in the city when General Ponnabo was weak, so as to earn the difference, and once the werewolves "suddenly" broke their promises and wanted to earn more, then the delicate balance he was in would be broken.
What awaits him is the infamy of being a traitor, and the endless torture from [Adjutant Nefrey].
But he didn't know that this pillar of light, like a spear through the night, came from a traveler. And the traveler's purpose was clearly not to kill him.
When he quickly arrived at the city gate, the only outer fortification of the Immortal Hall had been quietly completed.
The archers and the only magicians stood on the walls, leaning on the glowing crystals to keep an eye on the targets that followed, while the prefect of the city, Noraf, rested his horse across the gates, looking at everything around him with a little nervousness.
Sinokos, who had come to a halt under the many bows and arrows, set his horses sideways, and the arrows swung with his turns.
"It's me! Sinokos! ”
Sinokos shouted loudly, "Captain of the Third Patrol of the Immortal Hall, Shino Joe! This is my patrol token! ”
He recognized Noraf, and Noraf naturally recognized him.
It's just that the monsters in the forest that have transformed into humans are never so easy to identify.
The third patrol team that followed Sinokos also quickly caught up with Sinokos, and they took down the glowing crystals that were buckled to the armor one by one, and the armor of different styles on their bodies was completely exposed to the light.
They took out the token as Sinokos did, illuminating it with glowing crystals.
This was the only way to identify themselves, and they could then be allowed to enter the city, but, obviously, it was not the open gates that awaited them, but sharp bows and arrows.
"Is the patrol over?! Sinokos?! Noraf looked suspiciously at Sinokos.
"Noraf! Open the door! ”
Sinokos didn't care about Noraf's question, but scolded loudly: "Are you responsible for delaying important things?!"
"Adjutant Nefrey said that everyone will not be allowed to go again!" Noraf snorted through his nostrils, stepped onto his horse, took the reins in his hand, and let the high-spirited black horse face Sinokos.
"I'm sorry, Sinokos, sir. No matter what, they won't be able to put you in the city. ”
Noraf put his shoulders over the horse, looking helpless, but looking at Sinokos playfully.
"I'm sorry~ Sir Sinokos, Adjutant Nefrey said that you are a traitor...... Then I can't let you go into the city~"
Noraf looked at Sinokos playfully, his handsomeness matched the armor so much that it made him look more traitorous.
"You don't know, do you? Adjutant Nefret, I've seen through you for a long time.'...... Let you go on patrol...... I guess I want you to die in the wilderness, right?! Yes? Hahaha-"
Noraf stopped abruptly in laughter, and with a vicious reins he lifted the reins to lay his horse across the gate again, while Sinokos's retinue gritted their teeth and sideways the horse, for they had also been abandoned by Adjutant Nefret.
"Don't you understand? The prophecy is coming true, and when that light pierces through the heavens, the end will be for all. ”
Noraff's voice became cold, and he clenched the reins timidantly.
The horse seemed to understand his words, and trembled unconsciously.
"Adjutant Nefret, really...... No one [loves] ah......"
Noraf turned his horse's head and shouted at the soldiers on the wall, and then slowly looked back at Sinokos, who was stunned on the spot, as if he had come to tell Sinokos this passage on purpose.
Out of the corner of his eye as the gate was raised, Sinokos came back to his senses, immediately spurred his horse, and cried out loudly: "I don't want to die!" Come on! ”
With that, the horses of Sinokos swept away dust and ran in the direction they had just returned, and all the followers looked at each other, looking at the sharp arrows on the wall, and they could only grit their teeth and follow them.
"The gates of the city are closed, and the great enemy should do it. 】”
Sinokos looked at the light and fire in front of him, as if looking into the abyss, and lit up all the members of his team around the horse's hooves.
"It's just ...... at this time"
"Chief Sinokos...... How to ......"
The adjutant swallowed his saliva, his confidence insufficient, but his hand holding the reins seemed to tremble.
"Epoch of Destruction...... It's over too......" Sinokos sighed as he lowered a dagger into the side of his iron boots, as if he were about to die.
"It's finally over......
There is no moon in the night, there is no sun in the Age of Destruction, and even if you run wild in the night, you can't escape death...... Fear...... Is it?
"Long ...... Mr. Kaede Nagaha......"
She lowered her head and walked behind Chang Yu Kaede, although she didn't want to admit that Long Yu Feng was not a master who could chat, or even take the initiative to contact.
"Hahaha...... You talk a lot...... Little, girl—" Artanis' heart lit up in Changyu Kaede's heart, and every now and then he answered her words, and the light it emitted was ten times brighter than the glowing crystal, dispelling the darkness around it.
If Atanis wishes, it can continue to illuminate the entire sky, including the world.
"I ...... I ......"
Timidly embarrassed, she put her hand on her skirt, and in the dark night, the butterflies with light lingered behind her and fled.
"Artanis, be quiet."
Changyu Feng himself quietly conveyed this sentence to Artanis, and Atanis only quieted down again.
"That...... I was just ...... I want to say ......"
The way she wanted to pour out her words made her look even more eager.
"No...... Forget it......"
She stopped her movements again, no longer spoke, but followed more closely, and placed herself in a darker corner on Chang Yu Feng's side.
[Children who rely on others to protect themselves will never grow up——]
A sheep's hoof climbed onto Changyu Kaede's shoulder, and she was startled by the clean sheep. It's just that she didn't exclaim anymore, after all, by Chang Yufeng's side, she had been surprised countless times.
No amount of words could convey it to Kaede, but everything became no longer ordinary and had an unusual meaning.
Her gaze followed the lamb's climb to Chang Yu Feng's shoulder, and she saw Chang Yu Feng's slightly sideways head and the eyes of the sheep that had been staring, although she didn't want to admit it, but Long Yu Feng had no reason to turn his head sideways to pay attention to her.
[Oh, oh, why do you still have a goblin~]
The lamb sat on Chang Yu Feng's shoulder casually, leaned comfortably on Chang Yu Feng's neck, and slowly turned the long-accumulated grievances in his heart into a sigh.
[Talking...... What stupid words to save anyone, in the end, ended up like this...... Whatever...... Don't you feel pitiful? My dear sheep ......]
He looked up to see Chang Yu Feng's face, but Chang Yu Feng looked at him quietly, standing abruptly, making her inadvertently take a few more steps.
[Even if you know that you are only one of thousands of you, do you have to do your best to save? I'm still thinking that you will choose to give up and escape after all......]
[Just like you are so afraid of death, only infinite avoidance of death, fear of death, can make you live so peacefully......]
[As a human being, such a terrible desire to survive erupted...... It's terrifying......]
[What do you want to save...... It's so infuriating and funny......]
[A person who obviously has nothing......]
[A person who obviously doesn't remember anything......]
[A person who obviously doesn't want to lose anything......]
[As a result, the figure is alone......]
[and ...... 3,000 years ago]
The lamb's eyes stared at Chang Yu Feng's neck, the smooth neck against the head, exposing the most vulnerable place in front of his eyes, but he laughed easily again.
【Ha...... There's no other human in the world like you...... Hahaha-]
He looked up to the sky and roared, and the sound of laughter was debauched.
"After you are resurrected, are you going to talk this nonsense like this?"
Chang Yu Feng looked ahead, clenching his fists tightly.
[Oh, oh, oh, you've grown into a big boy...... But if you don't detect your spiritual power level, you will really be scared, and the golden level will dare to speak wildly to Uncle Ben! 】
The lamb scolded loudly, and couldn't help but laugh, and then laughed loudly, and as before, his laughter was wanton, as if he had never laughed like this, and he needed to release this laugh completely at once.
The birds that were climbing around were startled and fluttered on the ground.
[I miss it so much...... When they buried me here, I was a little surprised that they had buried such a great god here, and it was amazing that birds don't poop...... Brain explosion......]
The lamb went crazy and told the past that made his mind explode.
[Thinking about it like this, don't you think I was pitiful at that time? An old man is nailed into a coffin or something, although a person is going to be nailed into a coffin when he dies, but that's too rude, and he wants me to die before I die, it's really unwilling......]
Although he said something too terrible, he acted too indifferent, his hand slapped twice in the air, and he puffed up his face angrily and said wrongly: [Ahh~ will be unwilling...... So everything here should be related to my death, right...... This is my horror~No, no, no~ it should be~ the retribution of their descendants~]
"Is the immortality really related to you?"
Chang Yu Feng asked suspiciously, and casually brushed aside the withered branches and buds, and they quickly collapsed and exploded, making a clicking sound.
【Immortality...... Ah~ I haven't heard this word for a long time, as if I heard it a thousand years ago, when those damned humans put this crime on me......]
[Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs...... Can you understand this idiom? It's an idiom, right? Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs...... After all, it won't work...... Giving up theocracy or something......]
He thought about it, a person can talk to himself very well, of course, this is also the reason why he will not be lonely.
To gain eternal life in the coffin of immortality, you have to find some options to entertain yourself.
"Salahma, the former name of the Immortal Church. And you, in the history of the city, have not been recorded by name......"
Nagawa Kaede saw the light of the glowing spar.
"If you are as arrogant as you are, you will also be erased from history. It's really rare. ”
Chang Yu Feng chuckled softly, she looked at her and smiled in surprise, not understanding that a traveler like him could have such a smile.
He had a sword that would not be swallowed up by the night, a body as muscular as a god, a face gifted by a goddess, a light that would never go out, and too many things that no one else would ever have.
In the eyes of the Lamb, he had nothing......
The lamb, in the casual debauchery of her eyes, would never shine as brightly as the traveler.
Can......
They were old acquaintances, more than she understood......
[Hahahaha-damn it...... You guy, who did you learn so much sarcastic talk with when I wasn't there! Feed! 】
The lamb scolded loudly and punched Chang Yufeng's shoulder, but it seemed to hit too lightly and laughed even louder......
[Hahahaha-you're fully grown-now, it's time to put those heavenly things, one by one, one by one! One by one! One by one! One by one! 】
Sent to hell!
