  Chapter 451 Those who look up to the sky (13)

   In the dark night, there was a muffled sound of thunder, low and thick, roaring.

  The boy slept very lightly, and the air-wrapped armor leaning on the side of the camel beast trembled slightly, which proved that the owner was waking up from a short dream.

  The sky near Butte Rift Valley is half covered by dark clouds, thunder is roaring, and half is the dark night sky, silent.

They are distinct and do not affect each other. Not far away, the vast cloud pillars that reach the top of the sky are constantly turning, just like the giants in ancient myths protruding their arms from the core of the earth, stirring the kingdom of gods erected on the seven-tiered ladder. .

  A pair of blue eyes opened, with a little panic in his gaze, the young man took off his helmet short of breath, looked up at the sky, and stared at the distant and indistinct black curtain.

  Phantom moon and new moon, intact and broken moons hang on both sides of the sky, just like a pair of dead eyes, watching everything in this land.

In the darkness of the few stars, there are still a few stars twinkling. Although they are lonely, they still exist. They have not turned into a bright and decisive comet to break through the dark curtain like a dream, and in the burning that lights up half of the night sky dissipate.

  Ian woke up from the dream, broke out in a cold sweat, and did not breathe calmly until he was sure that the stars in the sky had not dimmed yet.

   "It's like this...dream again?"

   Lowering his head and drooping his long eyelashes, Ian sighed softly, the light blue light in his eyes fluctuating with his breathing.

  He stretched out his hand towards his neck, staring at the cold water droplets on his hand with a wry smile: "I broke out in a cold sweat."

   "Really, only the body hasn't grown up, it's still a child."

  Ian stood up slowly, controlled the source quality to remove the armor, and prepared to breathe.

   He never wanted to look up at night in the wilderness.

  Because in the night sky of Terra Continent, there will not be a vast river of bright stars, nor will there be stars all over the sky dotted with darkness.

  Here, there is only a dark void, like a huge mouth, like a bottomless abyss, which wants to swallow the whole world and make everything fall into it.

  Ian didn't like this feeling. Those remaining stars did not provide him with comfort, but instead served as a wake-up call, making him always feel urgent and anxious.

he does not like. I don't like this world. The continent of Terra was blocked by an unknown darkness, and the stars in the sky dimmed one after another. Every time I fell asleep, I always dreamed that the light of the sky suddenly ignited, and all things sank into the darkness that would never return after the bright light.

  He always doesn't like this feeling, just like he doesn't like to read the end of a book, and he doesn't like to meet new friends.

Yes.

  After reading a book, you will feel melancholy, and the long story ends here.

  When a person dies, he is condemned to death, and there is no other possibility.

   Of course, of course he doesn't like it. And who would like the unspeakable melancholy after the hinge, the helpless silence after the event?

only…

  Ian will still go to the next book.

   will get to know another person.

   will go to... explore another world.

"teacher…"

Using his own source quality to dry the clothes and remove the dust and dirt left by the battle with the magneto-optical knight inside and outside the armor, Ian sighed softly when he raised the iron sword of the abyss: "Those children, Baron Ryan, and others People. Lots of people I killed."

   "You can survive in the world and era where my previous life was.

   You don't have to die, you don't have to do evil, you don't have to be harmed by evil. "

   "This world, this era, cannot bear your dreams and pain."

   Frost Butterfly flew out of the small box on the waist of the air-wrapping armor, and flew around Ian with some doubts, and he raised his slender fingers to make the little goblin land.

  It used to be like a fairy made of pixels, but now it looks much more delicate. Looking at this cute little guy, the boy also smiled slightly: "Shuangdie, I have too many secrets, I can only tell you now."

   "When you also have wisdom, I can only think alone."

The little goblin tilted his head, apparently not understanding what the big goblin was saying, but Ian didn't take it seriously, he touched the sharp gold blade of the long sword, feeling the cold and dangerous feeling. touch.

  A beautiful world should have infinite possibilities.

  In a beautiful era, no one should be judged.

  The starry sky is the symbol of that world and era.

  Because of an unhappy country, a society that is not rich; a world that is neither beautiful nor full of desire for the future.

   No one yearns for distant stars.

  —But what if, even the stars have dimmed?

  That may be the greatest horror and the greatest doomsday.

   It just doesn't matter.

  Even in such a world...he will still move forward.

   "Let's go, Frost Butterfly, go back to the small freezer, you are about to advance, I have to prepare for you."

   Lowering his eyes, Ian shook his head slightly at the little guy, and the young man's whole body lit up with blue water source quality, and even the tips of his hair had clear brilliance flowing, triggering the spontaneous activation of the air-wrapping armor and covering him.

  White hair hung down his shoulders and hung behind him. After Ian wiped the blade to make it shine more, it seemed that a ceremony had been completed.

  He put the Chongyuan iron sword back into the scabbard, and his eyes became firm again.

  Frost Butterfly returned to the ice box, and the boy who was also worried and lonely returned to his original appearance of a prophet who was calm, rational, fearless, never hesitated, and communicated with anyone without any flaws.

  Because there is nothing to stop.

  He's Ian.

   Look up to the one on high.

  He is going to the stars.

   It's as simple as that.

   After several days of trekking, Ian has arrived at the side of the Great Rift Valley in Butte. Now that he is leaving, he will probably reach the town in front of the bridge at dawn.

   After fighting with the magneto-optical knights and dealing with the scene, Anfa and Pansha left with the purple maple knights.

  They need to rush back to the Baisen Mountains as soon as possible to avoid encountering the knights sent by the Marquis—although everyone may have a tacit understanding, but if they do meet, let alone do it once, they must pay some hard work and waste a lot of time, right?

   Maybe you have to take unnecessary blame, it is really meaningless.

   While cleaning up the battlefield, Pansha secretly found Ian and asked if the boy had any other relatives. After learning that there was only one younger brother, the grandson of Elder Manya and the new generation leader of the Avod Department seemed rather disappointed.

   "I used to occasionally meet a mysterious beautiful girl from the Yatani tribe, but recently she suddenly disappeared. It's a pity. I still want to propose marriage someday..."

   While muttering, he leveled the land and destroyed some of the traces that the young man ordered to be dealt with.

  An Fa told Ian that the beautiful mountain girl that Pansha saw was actually Xiou... At that time, the king of the mountain liked the feeling of raising a daughter, so Xiou had been walking in the posture of a girl for more than ten years.

  A perfect creature like a dragon has no gender at all, and the King of the Mountain himself often walks in the mountains in the image of a beautiful woman and a man in his prime.

   "Then...whose face did she use at that time?"

  Ian asked curiously, and then noticed that Anfa, who had always been good-tempered, was also sullen, and felt that it was clear that he didn't need an answer.

   But the strange thing is, it's just borrowing a face, so why be angry?

  Now Xiou is also using his face, why is he not angry now?

  As for the purple maple knight, he has been **** all the time, but he is quite peaceful. He deserves to be a ruthless person who has been an undercover agent for more than ten years and has not been exposed. He almost reached the top.

The relationship between Anfa and Purple Maple Knights is obviously a little delicate. Although Ian has not watched many romantic dramas, the elements of "same family", "familiarity", "undercover in the same organization", and "enemy and friend" make people think a lot thing.

  As for the body of the magneto-optical knight, Ian had already thrown it into the abyss of nine spins.

   Those are the nine caves formed by the cooling of lava in the lowest part of the basin area. Due to the cooling time and geological changes, a series of huge abysses have been formed—the nine caves are just entrances, and there is a whole set of underground ecosystems in operation.

   Some scholars speculate that there is a small and medium-sized labyrinth in the depths of this place, but there is no such thing. It is simply a wonder created by a strange geological structure.

  Walking around the abyss, along the way, Ian didn't even encounter half of the rumored battle-hardened monsters and herds of beasts that ravaged the wilderness.

   Except that when Ian came to the edge of the abyss to throw the corpse, Ian vaguely sensed a rather loud voice echoing in the rock formations deep in the abyss, but he never encountered those local aborigines who were said to be very hospitable from the beginning to the end.

   It can only be said that the battle-experienced monsters are really extraordinary, not only in combat, but also in combat.

  For this reason, Ian had no choice but to open the vision horizon, forcefully find a water-type monster hiding in the small lake next to it, and take out the 'energy-gathering shell' of the 'Water Flying Butterfly'.

  As for why, of course it is to pave the way for the advancement after Frost Butterfly.
