book of old days

Chapter 75 Sleepwalker

Xiao En looked at the ancient hall in front of him with a dazed expression, thinking why did I come here again?
This was already the third time he had dreamed of this place.

It seems that the spiritual water is really undrinkable, and I have nightmares every day.

He hesitated thinking, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Inside the grand hall, singing voices kept coming out, as if inviting him in, but Xiao En didn't have the slightest intention to step forward. The last scare left him with a lot of psychological shadow, and he didn't want to be beaten again. The group of skeletons and skeletons gathered around.

He stared at the door of the main hall for a moment, then looked behind him. Apart from this main hall, there are many other buildings around, which are magnificent, solemn and simple.

Xiao En couldn't help but feel a little curious. This city is probably the city of the gods in the Nord mythology. Walking down the steps, wandering in the city, strolling in the squares and corridors, walking all the way, but didn't see a single person.

There are desolate and decadent scenes everywhere. Although the city's buildings are still intact, they have obviously experienced the baptism of years, and there are mottled and damaged traces everywhere.

He saw weeds growing wantonly in the garden, spreading all the way along the cracks in the rocks, the branches of dry trees were twisted and intertwined, and the withered and yellow leaves were falling everywhere. The water in the fountain had dried up, leaving only The mummified remains of some fish creatures, a statue of a god fell on the square, and turned into rock fragments all over the place.

The further you go down, the more dilapidated it looks. Some buildings have begun to collapse. Although some outer walls are intact, the oil paint on the walls is completely faded and gray.

There was a dead silence everywhere.

The more Sean looked at it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. This strange city without people seemed to be a forgotten ruin. Under the magnificent appearance, it was like a corpse that had been dead for many years, exuding the peculiar smell of a tomb. Cold breath.

He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he went down the steps all the way, looking for an exit, a gate suddenly appeared in front of him, the gate was covered with iron chains and huge wooden boards, a rusty The pull rod is placed on the side of the door, which seems to be a mechanism for opening the door.

This should be the way out, right?He thought to himself, and pulled the lever hard, but the lever didn't move at all, and it seemed to be completely rusted.

Sean was thinking about how to open the door when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it."

As soon as Sean turned his head, he saw a little girl in white clothes like snow, looking down at him.

The girl has a pair of bright eyes, silver-white hair, very long, almost hanging down to her waist, shining like ice and snow in the sun.

Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, so that the blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen.

At this time, she was sitting on top of a giant bear stone statue, her bare feet dangling in the air.

Xiao En was stunned. He didn't expect that there were still residents in this city. He was not very nervous, because he knew that he was dreaming, but he was a little excited.

"why?"

The little girl didn't answer him, but Sean soon knew the answer—Boom!A violent impact sound scared Sean back a few steps. He looked at the gate, the iron chain on the gate vibrated violently, rust fell down one after another, and the huge wooden board nailed to it creaked, as if Something huge is about to get in from inside.

Fortunately, the door is strong enough.

"What the hell is that?" Sean asked.

The little girl still didn't answer his question. She stretched out her hands to keep her balance, and jumped off the statue's head. Sean exclaimed, just when he thought the little girl would fall to the ground, the little girl stepped on the ground. In mid-air, it lightly landed on the ground.

"It's just a poor beast. It has been trying to break in these days, but this is no longer its home, hehe."

The girl chuckled, as if thinking of something particularly funny.

"Speaking of which, why are you here?"

Sean asked in his heart how I would know.

"No, you're not here." The little girl said, turning around him with a look of surprise on her face, "Interesting, so you are a sleepwalker!"

Sean was a little surprised, the little girl could tell that he was dreaming, wait a minute, does this little girl really exist?

He has always been a little curious and uneasy about these dreams he had, and finally met a person who seemed to understand, and immediately wanted to understand.

Sean said: "Are you real? Or is it a reflection of my subconscious mind? Why do I always dream of this place?"

The little girl said: "Because you have a very strong spirituality, you can see things that ordinary people say they can't see, and there must be some kind of Nord relic around you, so you were led here."

Xiao En thought it was true, the mansion he lived in was built with the materials of the demolished Nord Temple, and he drank so much spiritual water, no wonder he always dreamed of this place.

If you can't turn around, go to the hotel in the town and stay for a few days.

"Is this the Temple of the Gods? I thought it was just a legend."

"That's right, this is the Temple of the Gods, but it's a pity that you can't see the gods here. There's only me here—well, you're here now. Are you interested in visiting? I can show you around , before you wake up."

"Okay, I'm worried that I don't have a guide." Sean happily accepted the girl's invitation, and the two walked along the street towards the depths of the city.

She seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she took Sean through the streets and squares with ease, introducing the origin and purpose of each building along the way.

"That is the temple of Finn, the wolf god. It is the god of Uruk, but I have never seen it."

"That is the temple of Crow, the God of the Sea. It was beheaded by Aum, and the priesthood also fell into Aum's hands."

"That is the Temple of the First Sun God. Its name has long been forgotten. Aum asked his followers to destroy all records about the first Sun God. Now even his own name is about to be forgotten, hehe..."

Listening to the little girl's introduction, Sean couldn't help but wonder, "Why did the temples become like this?"

"How do I know, I'm just a little girl, and it's been like this since I can remember." The little girl looked calm, but Sean always felt that she seemed to be hiding something.

The two of them walked around a stone step and came to a stone platform protruding from the mountainside. The view here is wide, and you can see the mountains in the distance. The mountains in the dream look dark, and the shadows of the mountains A winding valley can be vaguely seen...

"Come here, I'll show you something."

Sean turned his head away and followed the little girl to the high platform.

Here stands another great temple, which seems to stand alongside Orm's.

But compared with the constant singing in the Aum Temple, this huge temple is silent, as lifeless as a tomb.

The little girl went straight in, turned around and glanced at Sean who was standing at the door, and smiled brightly.

"Don't worry, there are no dead heads here."

Sean hesitated for a moment and followed in. The magnificence inside the temple was beyond his imagination. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by everything in front of him. Gold, gems, pearls, all kinds of exquisite armor and weapons were everywhere. , It looks like a treasure trove of a dragon.

But soon he regained his composure, no matter how much money there is, it's the same thing, and it's in a dream again.

The little girl was a little surprised by his calmness, and led him towards the second floor.

Rows of thrones are displayed on both sides of the hall, and a suspended flame burns on each throne.

Why does that thing look like a memory fire?But it is more dazzling, and the colors are colorful, which looks very wonderful.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be that this is the fire of memory left after the fall of the gods?

If it is true, it will be powerful, and if it can be absorbed, what a powerful force it will be.

wrong!Xiao En suddenly thought of a problem. He almost had an accident absorbing the memory of a magician himself. Absorbing the memory of the gods would be too long.

However, it is amazing that the memory fires of these gods have been preserved for such a long time. According to the book, once the fire of the soul is exposed to the outside world, it will soon dissipate.

Perhaps this is because they are related to God.
