Chapter Seventeen: Shadow Pendant (forty-one)
【Please give me my life back!】
I don’t feel how sad I am right now…
There is no truth in this world, only the entanglement of various causes and effects.
Cause and effect is as natural as human beings needing to eat to survive. No one would say that they can live a cool and comfortable life without eating food.
It's just that cause and effect is not something that can be seen and touched like food. It is so good at hiding that it can even make people ignore its existence intentionally or unintentionally. It flies from the sky, swims in the water, runs on the ground, and so on.
No exception can escape the shackles of cause and effect.
And human beings use their own wisdom to exhaust cause and effect and explore the "Tao" of the world.
From astronomy and geography, to literature and philosophy, to instruments and machines, human beings use invisible "self-theory" to explain the way of the world and create magnificent miracles of civilization.
The fairy road of the empire, the magic of the principality, the souls of the beasts, the wonders of the elves, and the reproduction of other small ethnic groups have all "invented" and "created" their own unique civilization, leaving their mark in the long river of history.
gained valuable wealth.
As for the spiritual world, tracing back to its roots does not care about the exhaustive study of "Tao".
"There are only four of the twelve ancient kingdoms left..." A troll elder looked at Chang Yufeng's tireless listening and was very pleased: "And our ancestors did not establish a kingdom. Our ancestors will be here three thousand years ago.
Everything is carved into the rocks in the ice and snow. The ancient writing has long been lost. Even I can only recognize a few words..."
Chang Yufeng sat cross-legged by the campfire. He did not have the blue skin of the trolls and could not withstand the polar cold. He was covered in furs hunted by the trolls and was still warm. The flames in his eyes burned with the campfire.
Bright and bright.
"But, the ancestors of the trolls were not originally trolls..."
The troll elder became quite childishly happy and taught his unique "secret" to this traveling man...
"look……"
As he spoke, he waved the magic wand in his hand, and the golden flash turned into a butterfly and flew over the wall of the cave in an instant. Suddenly, the murals in the cave suddenly appeared, outlining a different kind of life...
The people on the murals are only in the shape of bamboo sticks, with women with long hair and men with short hair. Farmers and workers, people singing and dancing, people hunting with long bows, and people holding swords to guide the sky are all lifelike.
It's just that they are too simple. Time has stripped away their color and delicacy, leaving only a few incomplete faults.
And the words on it were unreadable and unrepairable, leaving them withered and irreparable.
Chang Yufeng suddenly blinked and opened his eyes, unable to recognize, incompletely, clearly. He only felt that the paintings and words were strange, all kinds of strange, absolutely different, and he could no longer continue to look at them...
After all, he didn't recognize it at all.
These and those are quite heavy, but they are so unfamiliar to him.
"That's it!" The troll elder's eyes were blurred, glowing with a light that Chang Yufeng couldn't understand. The flickering bonfire seemed to be shining in his eyes, shining brightly, taking in the stars all over his eyes: "
Our ancestors...lived...in such rich and beautiful fields...there were horses and tender grass...there were birds, animals, beautiful...bright...warm..."
In the eyes of the troll elders, special words are like floating elves, dancing around the stone wall, and every move is an illusion.
"Elder... why are you telling this gentleman this... you just need to teach him some common sense in life..." Ishar held some objects on her arms and jumped in from outside the cave where the wind and snow were howling.
She immediately closed the door with her backhand. The wind and snow were floating on her white hair, and she gently slipped it off before it got wet.
"He is a human born in [Talon]... Now Talon has disappeared... Then won't he have to stay here for the rest of his life?"
The troll elder smiled slightly, looked at Ishar and then looked at Chang Yufeng: "He is a man with bright eyes, just like you~"
After saying that, he looked at Ishar who came over with a smile, and his affection was palpable: "You even knitted him a piece of clothing~ He is so ingenious, gentle and considerate, and considerate. Whoever marries him will be lucky~
"
"Elder, you are talking nonsense."
However, there is a fluffy dress hanging in Ishar's hand. Ishar is more like a human being like her mother. She does not have blue skin, does not have giant teeth, and is just as beautiful as her mother.
She knelt down with the clothes and gently handed them to Chang Yufeng, but Chang Yufeng didn't respond to him. He didn't seem to understand what it meant. Ishar pushed aside the clothes draped in Chang Yufeng's clothes one by one.
The fur on her body felt a little cold. Chang Yufeng shivered due to the cold wind blowing in, and she stopped her hand.
Her silvery white hair dangled in front of Chang Yufeng's eyes. For a moment, he thought he had seen it somewhere, but he forgot it and could never remember it.
Ishar calmly put the clothes on his hands, pressed them with both hands, and looked at him with soft eyes.
"Poor humans~ I guess their brains were frozen in Talon..."
She looked pitifully and pitifully at the confused Chang Yufeng, and moved closer to him, wanting to put her forehead against Chang Yufeng's to test whether his body temperature was normal.
Yao thought that this was the first time she had helped someone measure their temperature, because no matter when she was sick, her father would put his forehead on hers to keep her away from the cold and heat.
Most of the time, everything she lives is under the guidance of her father. She follows the same example, puts her forehead close to her, and murmurs: "When I found him from Talon, the whole Talon was fighting.
Destroyed... He's in a basement-like place... chained... like a... uh... lamb to be slaughtered?"
When the troll elder heard what Ishar said, he frowned and immediately jumped down from the high platform of the mural and came to Ishar's side, but Ishar's forehead was hit by Chang Yufeng.
Or maybe Chang Yufeng was too frightened and pushed his hand towards Ishar randomly, bumped his head on Ishar's forehead, and curled up in panic.
When the troll elder jumped down, Ishar was covering her forehead, curling her red lips and trying to comfort Chang Yufeng with her hands, but was shocked by Chang Yufeng's pitiful look and could no longer reach out.
"You never told me... that he... was tied up like a prisoner..."
The troll elder pointed the scepter at Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng's frightened eyes were huge and he stared straight at the tip of the scepter, trembling with fear.
It was like a long sword of gray wood poking straight into Chang Yufeng's forehead. He had to tremble and grit his teeth.
"Elder!" Ishar quickly pushed the elder's scepter away, looked at the elder with some surprise, and got angry: "He can't bear this! He just came out of the shadow of terror... We have to help him
…”
Ishar looked at Chang Yufeng pitifully.
It's like looking at a lamb surrounded by a hunting party.
This lamb could only tremble in the face of the hunter's roundup. The lamb's legs were turning under the sharp blade, and it could only barely keep it from kneeling down. But it finally gave in, and could only shake the sheep's head crazily, waiting for the kill.
