Infinity from Pirates

Chapter 79 Memory

At night, a full moon was very close and hung high above the head, occupying half of the sky and casting a bright silver glow. Even the bumps and holes on it seemed to be fully visible.The sky is dotted with stars around the full moon, twinkling and shining extremely brightly.

The night view of Kongdao is different from that of Qinghai. Because the altitude is too high, it is even above the stratosphere of the blue starfish. Therefore, under the moonlight, the visible range is still considerable, which provides some convenience to some people to a certain extent.

clap clap~

There was a roaring sound from the tall bushes, and Aniru stuck his head out of it. After carefully looking at it to confirm that there was no danger, he walked out of it and tiptoed to the entrance of a cave that was covered by vines and bushes. .

He has two dark little secrets.

The first is that despite the fact that he has been discriminated against and bullied because he does not have the wings that symbolize Skylanders, and even ended up like this to some extent because of this, as the saying goes, if God closes a door for you, it will definitely open it for you. a window.

This is confirmed by Anilu, that is, although he inherited the dominant gene from his father from Qinghai, he was born with a rare gift of seeing, hearing, color, and listening to his heart.

It's just that because he is too young, this ability is not stable and works sometimes. This is also the reason why when the mean middle-aged people had the idea of ​​teasing and humiliating him, Enelu did not notice it and was successfully teased. location.

As for another little secret, after the death of his parents, he was homeless and accidentally discovered a hidden passage in the dense forest behind Bika Mountain.

This secret passage leads directly to the Bika Temple, which is the most sacred and important building on the small sky island of Bika. It is heavily guarded on weekdays and no one can approach it.

Only during important annual festivals will it be open to the public for one day under the auspices of the great priest, the ruler of Bika, for the island residents to worship and worship.

After discovering this secret passage, Enilu did not make it public, but regarded the temple as his only refuge. Whenever it was quiet at night, he would secretly enter the temple through this secret passage, and he would not do so today. exception.

When he came to the secret passage, he looked around the surroundings cautiously. After confirming that it was calm as usual, he opened the grass and vines covering the entrance of the secret passage. His thin body came into play at this time, and he got in easily and nimbly. in.

It was pitch dark inside the secret passage, and it could be said that you could not see your hands and fingers, but Anilu was not affected at all. He walked in the dark with familiarity, and soon passed through the secret passage to the end. He gently pushed open the hidden stone door at the end until he probed to confirm that there were no guards. After being attracted by the silence, he walked out from behind the door.

The structure of the temple is very simple, basically just an empty hall. Oil lamps are lit on the wall day and night. Under the dim light, a statue of a god more than ten meters high stands against the wall.

The statue's head is slightly lowered, arms and wings are spread out to embrace the worshiper, or it is making protective movements to face possible dangers with its back.His face was a little blurry, and only his eyes were still clear, looking at the ground in front of him.

Enilu walked out of the secret passage and turned a few corners to the hall. He raised his head and looked at the statue for a moment. He skillfully climbed to the base at the foot of the statue, found the familiar corner at his heels and curled up into a ball.

Having experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, Enilu's little heart was full of wariness. However, at this moment, under the lowered gaze of the statue, he slowly lowered his guard and fell into a deep sleep with his gradually even breathing.

For a long time, Enelu fell into a sweet dream and slept soundly. A smile appeared on his indifferent face for the first time in a long time.

At this moment, the miserable days of being hungry, cold, and bullied during the day seemed to have left him. Under the gaze of God, a happy and fulfilling life was right in front of him...

At the end of the dream is the cold and cruel reality, and a good night's dream is ultimately a dream. Enelu knows this very well, but even though he still struggles to survive every day when he wakes up, it still brings him a good mood.

He sat up and stretched, with a trace of the aftertaste of a sweet dream still on his face. He opened his eyes and looked around the surroundings habitually. It was okay not to look at it. When he looked at it, Enilu's heartbeat suddenly slowed down. I was shocked.

The guards of the temple implement a rotation system, with one round during the day responsible for patrolling, and one round responsible for guarding at night. Eniro, who has already figured out the guard changing schedule, knows very well that when the oil lamp is almost exhausted, it is the time for the guards to change the guard. hour.

At this time, looking at the oil lamps on the wall, the lights flickered on and off, obviously it was time for the guards to change the guard.

After the changing of the guard, the guard responsible for day patrol will patrol the temple. If he doesn't leave, he is afraid that he will be caught on the spot.

Thinking of this, Enilu stood up quickly, but before he could jump off the pedestal, the sound of uniform footsteps faintly sounded in the empty temple hall, making his little face turn pale instantly.

“What to do, it’s too late!!!”

At this time, it was obviously too late to sneak into the secret passage silently, but there was nothing in the hall except the statues, and there was no place to hide at all.

Still unable to see a place where he could hide himself, Anilu panicked and looked up at the statue, as if praying to the gods to give him a revelation in despair.

Fortunately, at this moment he saw the wings spread out on the back of the statue, and because of its close proximity to the wall and the angle of view, it should be difficult to spot.

Thinking that this was the favor of the god and the revelation given to him, Enelu hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then climbed up along the feet of the god.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near. A group of temple guards walked through the hall and patrolled around. Thanks to the unobstructed view of the hall, the guards just took a few glances without checking carefully.

When passing by the statue, the guards stopped and saluted, which made Enilu, who was hiding behind, breathless. He almost thought that he had been discovered. Fortunately, after a while, the footsteps of the guards started again, and they turned back and drifted away.

"Whoo~"

After raising his ears and confirming that the footsteps of the guards were inaudible, Enilu finally let go of his heart that was in his throat and let out a long sigh of relief.

He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead due to nervousness, and lay on the back of the statue as if he was exhausted, with a look of joy on his face.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Enelu, who was lying on the back of the statue, accidentally touched something with his right hand and made a subtle sound of moving mechanisms.

Feeling that the weakness caused by tension was gradually recovering, Enelu propped up his body, looked at the area he had touched unconsciously, and reached out to confirm.

He was very familiar with the sound of the moving mechanism just now. He could hear it every time the entrance to the secret passage was opened, which made Enel very curious.

"Is there a secret room and secret passage behind the statue?"

The answer is, yes.

I saw Enelu pressing the button randomly, which seemed to have triggered the secret door mechanism. A secret room on the vest of the statue slowly opened, right in front of Enelu.

"!!!"

He looked at his hand in astonishment. After coming back to his senses, Enel looked into the dark room. No, maybe it should be called a dark room. In the dark room the size of an adult's head, there were only two items in it, one of which was completely blue. Strange fruits with strange shapes and threads, a scroll wrapped in leather.

Enelu, who happened to be a little hungry, didn't think much about it. He picked up the strange fruit and wolfed it down, but was choked by the indescribable disgusting taste.

"vomit……"

Enelu, who sighed that even tree bark was more delicious than this stuff, touched his belly. Fortunately, the feeling of fullness in his belly gave him some comfort, otherwise it would be better not to eat.

"This is……"

At this time, Enilu was stunned. The inexplicable information that appeared in his mind told him that he seemed to have eaten something terrible. He opened his palms and instinctively followed a feeling, and arcs of electricity flashed in his palms.

After being stunned for a moment, Enelu looked at another item in the secret compartment, and his throbbing heart told him that perhaps his doubts could be answered here.

Picking up the scroll and returning it to the base, he untied the rope tied to it and slowly unfolded it. A piece of Sky Island text first came into view.

"Hometown...the infinite land...home...the thunder fruit...the core...the motto of the Ark..."

Thanks to his mother's careful teachings, Enilu is not illiterate, otherwise he would not be able to understand the writing on it.

However, after reading the secret recorded at the beginning of the scroll, Enel was greatly shocked.

"It turns out that this is not the hometown of us Sky Islanders...the infinite land...?"

He continued to unroll the scroll while murmuring, and looking at the detailed structural drawings of the spacecraft at the back, Enelu's eyes ignited with the flames of longing and desire.

At this moment, a seed called ideal was planted in Enelu's barren heart, which originally only wanted to live, and quickly took root and sprouted.
