Drowning in the Gentle Country [Western Fantasy]

This sudden thought was like a thin needle, piercing into the bone painfully.Iviedo stared at the front with a highly nervous expression, and didn't realize that his back was covered in cold sweat until he heard Wilt call his name.

"what happened?"

"It's okay..." Iviedo said subconsciously, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking, completely unaware that Wilt frowned because of his "resistance to answer" that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Yes, this is the reason why I refused to build a teleportation circle in Tatari Town. Once there is a direct connection tool, there will be countless people who come to Tatari Town to hunt for treasures for me or for Sidi. Tata The town is so big, even if I set up blind magic nearby, this cave will be found sooner or later. Once it is exposed, I am afraid it will cause shocks in the entire continent." Wilt said, "Besides, I really want to To retire safely."

When he said the last sentence, there was some helplessness in his tone.Since returning to Tatari Town, one trouble after another.First it was Garen, then Klein and Fiore; in order to solve the problem of the magic teleportation circle, he made a trip back and forth to the capital; the revival and safety of Tatari Town required him to be fully responsible.

On the other hand, the impact of Iviedo's dual identity will only be big or small.It has been more than a year since the Battle of the Gods of Punishment ended, and it seems that he is still far away from his goal of "retirement safely". What's more, today he chose to bring Ivydo here—the secret base of secret bases.

Ivedo withdrew his hand that touched Amethyst.

The amethyst image of Tattaglia ended the memory, and the surrounding environment changed back to the way it was in the open-air cave before.There are only clear springs, rays of light, dragon bones and scattered amethysts in front of my eyes.Those scattered amethysts can't see the exact number under the weak light, but they have a strange and mysterious beauty.

Wilt squatted down on one knee, and rubbed the small crystal debris on the ground with his fingers. They were different from other debris of different sizes but had a fixed shape, but were closer to gravel. Feeling, if you don't pay close attention, it is almost invisible.

Wilt said: "She placed Sidi and I's dragon eggs in the depths of Tatari Lake, and used the freezing spell to suspend our birth, and so passed a long time. Later, maybe it was because of the impact of the water, maybe Because the spell failed, I was brought to this place by the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, and with the help of Tataglia's remaining power, I broke out of the shell not long after."

Ivydo saw the crystal debris sticking to his fingertips, and felt a trace of extremely tiny power remaining in it. Although this power is so weak that it looks like dust, it is easy to be ignored, but when the amount of debris covering the entire cave is combined, , the power is huge enough.

"Actually..." Wilt paused and said, "These amethysts also contain my memories."

Iviedo stared at him blankly, "Your memory?"

"I used the amethyst image to preserve my memory at first. I was influenced by Tataglia, thinking 'if there are descendants, I want him to know', but later it was because of other reasons..." He held Ivydo's right hand , put it gently on the amethyst fragment in front of him, smiled slightly, "Want to know? My past."

The moment Ivedo's palm touched the amethyst shard, the scene in front of him was like a chaotic transformation when time and space were distorted.

It is the town of Tatari.

...but there are subtle differences.Ivydo stood in the illusion projected by the amethyst image, but he was incompatible with the pictures in it.If you look carefully, the materials of houses and people's clothing are quite different from today's styles, and Tatari Town at that time seems to be even older.

"Nearly 200 years ago." Wilt whispered in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, Iviedo saw Wilt as a boy again.

He has black hair and purple eyes, and his hair is not as short as it is now. A few messy strands of hair can even cover his violet eyes.He is not like the rebellious and isolated one in Barton's memory, nor the gentle and reliable one in Lisa's memory. He always purses his lips and straightens his back stiffly, making some subconscious small movements reveal his unfamiliarity and tension.

He hardly interacts with people, and only avoids people in the Tatari fruit forest and the mountains behind him. He eats tatari fruit at unexpected times to fill his stomach, and licks the ice water of Tatari Lake to quench his thirst.Even if it is really unavoidable, it will only use the invisible magic that has been mastered to disappear instantly.

Until one day he ran into someone who could see through the light of other people's souls.

"Turning into a human form and learning the common language do not exist in Tataglia's teachings. I can only rely on myself—using invisibility magic to eavesdrop openly. The goal was getting closer and closer, and at this time I ran into Susan." Wilt said, looking at himself in his memory as if he had been poked in a sore spot, he grinned ferociously and bared his teeth, and the dragon's breath from his mouth knocked the little girl away. When surrounded by the old Susan, she couldn't help but chuckled, "It was a blessing in disguise, and Susan and I became friends. She taught me the common language, and I taught her some simple magic."

The content of this piece of amethyst is actually very short. It is mainly a process of Wilt getting to know Susan. After the end, the images stored in the memories gradually dissipated.

"I didn't expect 200 years to pass so fast, my first friend has already left." Wilt murmured, he looked at Iviedo hesitantly, "Iviedo, you were at Susan's funeral What do you mean by saying, 'She's in a plane farther away'?"

Unexpectedly, Iviedo was stunned for a moment, and shook his head deliberately concealing, "I don't know." He pursed his lower lip, as if he didn't want to reveal more.

But Wilt didn't care about his attitude this time, instead he hugged his wrist and touched another amethyst fragment.

Wilt who lived in Tatari Town, Wilt who took risks alone, Wilt who teamed up in the dragon mercenary team, and Wilt who reported to the Queen directly, but there was no one after the Battle of Gods. Wilt.Every memory is scattered like fragments, even if they are connected together, they seem to be ordinary daily life, nothing more than trifles of new acquaintances and new tasks, unless the content of the memory is someone who is sweetly fond of when you think of it, Otherwise it doesn't seem worth entering specifically.

However, if time is enough, Iviedo really wants to check all the amethyst fragments on the ground.He couldn't tell what was the cause of this unreasonable strong obsession, but it made him anxious. He always thought of the so-called memory corridor in Jodler's dream space. Someone watched a memory repeatedly three thousand four hundred and twenty times— —What a crazy obsession.So the memories worth saving must be the most important, right?

At this time, Iviedo, who had been watching quietly all this time, blurted out and asked, "Do you also watch often?"

"'Also'?" Wilt repeated strangely. "No. Sometimes it's the little things that are worth cherishing."

"Dragon's life is quite long, not particularly important things are easily forgotten, and the most intense love and hate have long been engraved indelible marks in my mind, sometimes I don't want to only have these emotions when I recall... ...That will always be extreme. And those trivial, numerous, and concise stories, although easily forgotten, are also created by the real me."

Wilt stared at Iviedo's deep blue eyes, and said word by word: "You don't need me to deliberately save it in memory, your every move, your smile and words are my 'most intense love'. "

Iviedo took a big step back in an instant, and the hotness rose from his fair neck to his cheeks. Although it was not the first time he heard it, this time the love words were the most explicit.He reluctantly brought his attention back to the topic discussed just now, "Your understanding of memory is very unique..." He was about to think carefully, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

At the same time, Wilt also noticed.

They showed extremely shocked expressions at the same time, and looked at the ground at the same time-the crystal but tiny amethyst dust that covered the sky and covered the sky, unexpectedly at the same moment, they collectively shone with a dreamlike purple light!

Then, an incalculable but extremely powerful terrifying force erupted from it!

"what happened!"

Wilt shouted quickly, and quickly stretched out his hand to Iviedo—because Iviedo took a step back, he was three people away from Iviedo—but this action seemed to have been given time magic, and he watched himself When his fingertips were only half a minute away from Iviedo, the amethyst light that started to shine from the ground instantly engulfed him and Iviedo respectively. In the end, only Iviedo's slightly panicked expression was seen.

"—"

There is no sound.nobody.There is no object.

He saw nothing but the lavender light around him, and Iviedo himself.

But Iviedo wasn't very flustered. After looking around, he became calmer.

"Amethyst enchantment." He said firmly.

As his voice fell to the ground, the originally empty space gradually began to distort, and the re-"loaded" space seemed to be a lair, but different from the original cave, the lair had an area of The complexity of the inside is far from staggering.

But these are not the most important-

Iviedo looked at the huge body in front of him overlooking him, his eyes as tall as a person stared at him motionlessly, and instantly felt the huge gap between the real thing and the skeleton——

"You're Tataglia?" he asked.

The author has something to say:

Wilt: My straight ball skills are improving day by day, and I am no longer the "pretentiously gentle" me!

Iviedo: I can't bear it, I can't bear it
