Chapter 10 Flame and Eternity(1/2)
Yalan had a strange dream.
In his dream, he dreamed that he became a traveler walking in the wilderness, passing through villages and cities.
He dreamed that a monster as tall as a tower roared at Silver Moon and led the army of monsters to attack the fortress. The buildings and fortresses burned, turned into a sea of fire, shouting and fighting roaring into the sky.
Even if you win, there will be curses of monsters left in this land, and losing will naturally become food for monsters.
In this "Era of Songs", there will always be killings and disputes between humans and monsters, humans and humans, monsters and monsters, one war after another begins, and then they are all gone.
This was normal, but strangely, from the perspective of Yalan, he looked down on all this from the sky, like a flying bird. He occasionally helped humans, rescued women and children struggling in the sea of fire, and drove away the violent and cruel beasts.
But it can be saved for a while, but it cannot be saved for a lifetime, because it is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is evil. Even if it is a monster, how can it be said that the monster hunted by humans have revenge? In order to avoid being reduced to prey, it can be called evil.
Yalan saw that he had experienced thousands of mountains and rivers, and in one night, he walked through countless areas.
In the cold snowfield, the terrifying cold wind is enough to freeze people's fingers; above the black sea, white sails are in and out of the harbor; the silver peaks are towering, and the figure with a hood is meditating silently.
The figure he transformed into was touching the forehead of the ice dragon in the snow field, staring at the fleet sailing on the secluded sea, and talking to many hooded figures on the silver peaks.
Finally, there is a volcano that is surging heat and is about to erupt. A huge giant whale of flame mountain wanders in the lava. If this volcano erupts, the two surrounding cities, a forest, and the homes and nests of thousands of lives will be destroyed.
Yalan only remembered that he seemed to have turned into a light, a blazing white flame light that fell from the sky and fell from the earth like a sharp sword.
In the light, he descended in front of the giant whale of the Flame Mountain. He said something and showed something. When Yalan saw that he stretched out his hand, the restless volcano became silent. The irritable heat that was about to bloom in the depths of the earth began to gradually become docile, like a docile kitten.
Faced with such a force, the originally violent giant whale became dull, but he did not use any violence. He explained something, leading the giant whale to the sky, passing through forests, cities, land, farmland and everything with vitality.
They soared in the sky with giant whales, and countless figures crawled towards the sky. They worshiped the clouds that dyed the sky red in awe, and also worshiped the giant whale that appeared in absent light in the clouds.
Yalan saw that he and the giant whale returned to the volcano again. The divine whale, which was full of golden red and had many crystalline veins, separated the lava and returned to its nest. It bowed respectfully to itself and whispered.
【My God】
The giant whale in the Flame Mountain said gentlely: [I already know the value of life]
【I will follow your precepts】
[May your glory be in heaven and nourish the earth]
Then he spoke, Yalan heard his own voice in his dream for the first time and last time.
It was a gentle, clear, teenage voice.
【This is the agreement】
Then the dream broke and Yalan woke up from his dream.
When Yalan woke up, he still didn't react, but soon he realized that there was a person beside him calling his name in a calm and unmoving tone.
"Yaran."
"Yaran."
Turning his head, Yaran saw the blonde girl locked in her hands in shackles and imprisoned in a cell, staring at herself expressionlessly.
"Yaran." The girl of Sanwu said softly: "You were asleep just now."
"Yes..." The confused boy rubbed his forehead and said to himself in confusion: "Am I asleep?"
And just as he was talking to himself, his memory gradually recovered: "But before, wasn't I still praying to Zhuzhou's altar...?"
This is a small village on the edge of the Ilotar continent. Although it is still impossible to avoid the battle between light and darkness between good and evil that sounds the epoch, it is indeed more peaceful than other places.
Yalan is an orphan, not an orphan. His father is a businessman in the northern part of the mainland, and his mother is a lady from the central region. The family conditions should have been considered good, and even if a war broke out, it would not be a disaster. However, the struggle between people was not just a war. Yalan's grandfather and grandmother were assassinated by others because of the conflict between competing for the city leaders in their early years. Yalan's mother, who had just given birth to Yalan, was already weak, so she died of excessive sadness. Yalan's father naturally could not continue to be an ordinary businessman. He spent all his family's wealth, learned martial arts, and vowed to take revenge.
The murderer is now the lord of Damal City, with a high position and a powerful position. Many minstrels and oracle messengers are his guards. After learning martial arts, Yalan's father was unable to get close to him and could only lurk and look for opportunities.
Five years later, Yalan's father found an opportunity. When the lord Damar was in pleasure and had no protection from his guards, he rushed in and learned about it. The whole process was no more than two minutes. When the guard who came to hear the news was furiously looking for the murderer, Yalan's father had already left. When the wanted order was issued, Yalan had been taken away by his father and came to this small village on the edge of the mainland.
After the blood feud was avenged, Yalan's father handed over all his martial arts to Yalan. A man who had no other goal except raising a son eventually died two years ago. Although Yalan was underage and had no parents, she had very good martial arts and could live well by herself.
The time spent with Eve was the happiest time for Yaran. It was because of this that a few days ago, when many adults in the village regarded Eve as the pillar of all evil in the world to resist the resentful soul storm, he was so angry that he even had the idea of kidnapping Eve and taking her out of the village.
When he thought of it, Yaran came to the cell where Eve was imprisoned, but just as he wanted to kidnap Eve, the boy heard Zhuzhou's voice.
Yalan naturally didn't know that if he hadn't heard Zhuzhou's guidance, he would definitely die once he went out. But even if he knew, he would probably do this, Yalan inherited his father's blood in the final analysis. As long as he encountered something he was unhappy with, even if he went all over the world, he had to finish what he wanted to do.
"hateful……"
Rubbing his forehead, Yalan complained in his heart: "Isn't this no effect at all? What's the use of this Zhuzhou prayer? It actually gave me a night's sleep?"
"I originally thought that I could get some power from a god who didn't know which way to rescue Eve... Isn't this just a waste of time?!"
When the thought of this, the boy who was originally filled with depression and anger immediately gritted his teeth.
He turned his head and looked at the quiet girl imprisoned here. Eve stared at the boy with golden eyes, unable to see any sadness and joy.
Looking at Eve, Alan was not only sympathetic and caring, but also full of anger at the village he lived in.
If you want to protect the village from all kinds of evil spirits... then learn, practice martial arts, and become stronger!
Nothing can protect your life except your own hands. Relying on the protection of the existing human, god, and human pillars created by all evil in the world, this is simply drinking poison to quench thirst, and accumulate evil more and more until it suddenly breaks out one day!
Make innocent girls into tools for shelter... Are there really those resentful souls outside who really create the evil pillars of the village chiefs and the others evil?
Every time he thought of these doubts, Yalan couldn't help but want to draw his sword and fight to the death with those evil evil people. To be honest, the boy was not stupid either.
In any case, for the current village, the human pillar is necessary. It is indeed this method. The village is not destroyed by various wild evil things on the frontier of the mainland, nor is it the other messy human forces declared occupation or taxes.
Objectively speaking, the village chief and historic protection have protected most of the villagers.
but……
"What if the next person who is made into a human pillar is me?"
"What about my daughter?"
"What about the people I know, the ones I have spoken and familiar with?"
Every time I think of this, Yalan cannot calm down, and even more so, he cannot be objective and impartial in his idiots at all times. People are creatures with butts, and they speak rationally and objectively every day, and they are designated as species without butts.
"What exactly should be done and what should not be done?"
“How ugly can we become to survive?”
The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Evil will definitely expand without restraint. The current village chief may be able to maintain stability, but the safety built on the human pillar is simply unstable. Not to mention anything else, what should we do when there is no qualification for the human pillar? Will villages without any self-protection accept their fate and destroy them?
"It can't be like this...it has to be changed."
After sleeping, Yalan, who was originally passionate about his brain, calmed down. He sat cross-legged on the land in the cell, frowned and thought: "I can teach my father's martial arts to other young people in the village. In this way, maybe in a few years, many people who can fight against monsters will appear."
"But even if it changes in the future, it will not affect Eve's current situation."
"The village chief and the elder both said that they would abolish Eve's identity as a pillar... What does this abolishment mean? Is it that many resentful and evil spirits that Eve suppressed were released? Or... it is to kill Eve?"
This is unbearable.
"Alan." At this moment, Eve, who had been silent all the time, spoke: "You are shining."
"ah?"
Yaran raised her head and looked at Eve with a confused look on her face.
But then, he looked down at his hand, and then he realized in shock that his body was really glowing.
A pattern like flame spreading on his arms.
"This, this is?!"
Many stories my father once told him appeared in Yalan's memory, including curses and blessings, but no matter what, this pattern seems to have great power and the light that purifies everything is spreading.
Even Eve approached her slightly and felt that the many evils and resentful souls sealed in her body were gradually purified by warmth. Although she herself, as a human pillar, could not sense happiness and happiness, as well as pain and despair, those resentful souls had joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
They can sense what is true warmth.
"Can it be that Zhuzhou..."
At the first moment, Yalan thought of his prayer that seemed unsuccessful not long ago... For a moment, he was shocked and puzzled: "The prayer was successful? But why didn't there any reaction at all?"
“And, if the prayer succeeds, shouldn’t I be charged?”
Whether it is praying for power with the evil god or the righteous god, it requires a corresponding price. When Yalan has gained power at this moment, he should lose something. This is the law of the Ilotar continent.
However, in fact, after focusing on the lines on the arms, Yalan could only hear a faint message, leaving him unsure whether it was true or false.
[I have conducted on-site inspections and determined the general situation of this world]
This message still leaves some calm rhyme: [In this way, I also have a general say in this world]
[Yaran, the person who calls me, if you want to change the current situation of your village and the current situation of this world, go to Mount Ona]
【I will meet you there】
【As Zhuzhou’s identity】
Yalan didn't know if he should believe it.
Mount Ona is a small hill located around the mountain range. It is not high, but not low. There are many monsters around the mountain. Although it is not undetectable, it is also quite dangerous.
But what the other party said did make him have to choose to believe it.
He had no good idea himself, if that Zhuzhou could really bring him ideas...
To be continued...
