New Eternal Day

Chapter 2 Dark City
Everything under the shroud of darkness is not invisible. There is always an inexplicable light shining on the place I want to see clearly. When I look down, it turns out that it is the ghostly light emitted by the star stone on my wrist.

Following my mother's example, I stooped forward, and slowly the boundary in front of me widened.

Passing through a damp room, there were a few injured black dogs in the corner. They bared their teeth and looked at me fiercely, and from time to time they let out a low growl or two in self-defense.

I can't help but guess what's hurting them, although in my eyes they're just average hounds.Who is this channel for?Where will it lead?I know nothing.

We moved forward in silence, and gradually I could not see the road under my feet, and the touch of the shoes on the ground became a little different.

If I can look down from the top of the passage now, I will see a very beautiful scene, a trumpet-shaped bright star river from narrow to open across the boundless darkness, silver, gold, blue, purple... all kinds The glittering substance gradually blooms from the very thin end to the other end like a flower. The place where the petals open is connected to a pure black world, exuding a faint blue cold light, and the thin end is connected to the lively little one just now. town.

Finally, my feet felt the firmness of cement, and there was a feeling of landing.I didn't know where to go, because I found that the place I was in was not the ground. The foundation here was at least ten meters higher than the original, or even more.

But I obviously didn't feel like I was climbing the hill all the way.

"Watch your feet!"

Mom turned to me.When I looked down, I couldn't help being surprised. It turned out that we were walking in a hollowed-out building. There was a narrow horizontal column at every step, and the middle was like a building block that was regularly drawn away.

This is simply a honeycomb made of cement, and it extends in all directions.

After walking for a while I couldn't help it.

"Mom, I want to go to the toilet." Mom didn't answer me.

"Mom... Fei Man!"

I was really annoyed, after all this was so sudden for me, my mom didn't explain anything and I couldn't ask anything, it's a travel rule.

"Oh, of course you can go baby, I was thinking about something! See the steps ahead? Climb up, I'll be waiting for you here."

I sighed. After I went up, I could see a very open scene, but I couldn't care about it anymore. I was in a hurry to untie my belt, and the things in my pocket kept chasing at me. some electricity.

I put it on a flat raised platform.I glanced down before getting ready to go to the toilet, and luckily I did.There is actually a layer of half-orcs below. Although it is not very clear, they are different from the previous armies. They are not so robust, and one is even short.

The plush face stuck his head out from the balcony and looked up, and he was holding a suffocating wind for lighting in his hand, looking very shrewd.

God, what the hell is this place!I gave up in desperation what I had to do.Fei Man is just cheating on me.I hate hollowed-out buildings!
I ran out in a hurry and told my mother out of breath that there were orcs here.My mother actually laughed, what did she laugh at?I was almost trampled to death by orcs in that town just now.Now even if I see a miniature version, I don't have a good impression of them.

"Don't be nervous, boy, your problem will be solved, we'll be there in a minute."

Mom spoke casually as she pointed to a brightly lit shop not far away. It looked too warm and bright, out of tune with all the cool colors here.

The plaque of the shop has words I don't know, but I can feel that this is probably a bookstore.I walked in with my mother, and I was happy that a "whole person" received us, and he said in a volume that I could barely hear:
"Long time no see Lord Norman".

and smiled and pressed his cheek against my mom, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with that, because he looked pretty young, about the age of my good-natured Cousin Dess, and he's nice and well-mannered, well, well he's kind of handsome.

"This is it?"

He put his eyes on me, and turned his head to ask his mother for proof.Mom nodded to him, and he said to me as if excited:

"Your Excellency, it's the first time we meet, I'm Fideland, I'm in charge of managing the books here, I hope you have a good time."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss my hand, but I embarrassedly refused.Ferdland shrugged, smiled and directed me to a place to rest.So this bookstore also has guest rooms?

"Ruosi? I'll go upstairs first, Mr. Fei will arrange for you."

Mom yawned a huge yawn and walked to the other side.Well, she always does.

After walking for about 5 minutes, I haven't arrived yet. My God, this is probably not a museum.

"Mr. Fei, are you the only human here?" I tried to break the silence.

"This is the first time someone has asked me such an interesting question, Your Excellency."

Mr. Fei asked thoughtfully, "Then do you think you are human?"

"I..." I was silent, I probably had an unformed answer in my mind, "Yes, maybe not," I said.

"Oh? Interesting. But let me tell you something helpful." Mr. Fei slowed his pace.

"About the Orcs?" I suddenly became interested.

"Yes."

He took a deep breath and said, "The place you are in used to be called Aqiutan, which means the place where they thrive and the hometown of the orcs."

"About 400 years ago, the Orc leader King Sepe's cousin, Drius, made a deal with the God of Darkness to exchange one thing for an invincible army capable of ruling the empire."

"Is it the iron guards I saw in the town?"

"Yes, Derius named them the guards. With the help of the guards, Derius quickly overthrew the rule of King Cyp, and the old royal families who were enemies of the new king were slaughtered one by one, and some passed Ranxiang Town is scattered around the world, and Ranxiang Town is the only place that connects Aqiutan and other unknown worlds."

"Then what exactly did Drius use as a condition to let Ysera... no... Dark God agree to exchange the guards?"

Mr. Fei sighed, this action made him look a lot older, maybe he lived longer than I thought.

"This is a shame for the Cyp family. It is the most profitable business the Orcs have ever done," he said.

"The light is exchanged for the eternal light of Aqiutan. Since then, the sun will never rise again, and the subjects live in the rule of darkness. Until today, it has not changed."

Mr. Fei stopped, and I accidentally bumped into his back. Now I don't think he is handsome anymore, because his words give me the impression that he is older than my mother.

"This is where you rest, sir, I'm sorry for talking about such a heavy topic before going to bed. I have already boiled the hot water. You can take a bath on the second floor. There is hot milk and some snacks in the living room, just take it as you like. See you tomorrow"

"Okay, see you tomorrow." I've had a question for a long time. "By the way, can I read the books here?"

"Of course, it turns out that you don't know whose property this mansion is. It doesn't seem like I should tell you. I think you will know tomorrow."

Mr. Fei handed me a gold-encrusted bookmark with a calm expression on his face.

"Take it, Your Excellency, this is a welcome gift. In fact, it's not the first time we met. You were still in an infancy when we met last time."

I was stunned and took it with both hands. This is not the first time someone has given me a gift, inadvertently revealing the star stone on my wrist.

Mr. Fei's face changed suddenly, and he quickly calmed down after being shocked. I was just fiddling with the bookmark in my hand, but I didn't notice it.

"Good night, Your Excellency, I wish you a good dream."

Mr. Fei has turned his back.The bookmarks are so delicate, I couldn't put it down, and I didn't even think about it and said something like this:

"Come on, Arkas blesses you."

I looked at myself in the mirror after taking a shower. I saw that my hair was so short that it reached to the base of my ears, and it was wet and divided into two halves.Finally got a place to stay tonight.

　New beginning, come on~
