Chapter of Light

6.

"The promise is... what?"

……

Put the processed ingredients on the fire, and then take the dirty clothes changed the day before to the stream to wash, come back and hang the clothes neatly on the hangers, and when you enter the cabin, the house will be tempting Filled with the aroma of food...

Selka repeated this kind of work day after day. Since Alice brought Kirito and Eugeo back to Rulid Village, these originally boring tasks seemed to have become more meaningful.

"Sister... I'll do it myself!" Seeing Alice going to get the laundry basket, Selka immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Alice pinched her waist with one hand, tapped Selka's forehead with her index finger and smiled, "I don't want to be a hopeless older sister who pushes all the housework to my younger sister alone. I would like to do a delicate job like cooking. I can’t do it yet, but luckily I still have some strength, so let me do this kind of thing.”

No one can shake Alice's persistence. Selka has understood this since she was a child. She nodded: "My sister was very good at cooking when I was young, and I must be able to recall it very quickly now! That... After washing the clothes, If my sister doesn't mind, I'll teach you how to cook?"

"Of course, thank you, Selka." Alice nodded with a smile.

Soon, the two came to the stream to wash clothes together, but this simplest housework really made the Integrity Knight a little anxious.If you use too little force, you won't be able to wash it clean, but if you use too much force, it will directly reduce the life of the clothes to zero.

After Alice tore a towel and two blouses in a row, Selka stopped her vandalism.Destroying other people's property is an obvious violation of the "Taboo List".

"Selka...I'm sorry." Kneeling beside the torn clothes, the awe-inspiring swordsman looked like a child who made a mistake.

Selka shook her head slightly and sighed, then laughed out loud: "Sir, if you want to help me, you can talk to me next to me, I have a lot to say to my lord."

Looking at Selka's innocent smiling face, Alice hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Selka, aren't you afraid...or, don't you doubt?"

"what?"

"Haven't you ever doubted that I'm not your older sister?" Alice stroked her chest with one hand, "I have almost no resemblance to Alice in the past, and I'm still a...monster who broke the taboo list."

"Onee-sama is just one-sama." Selka replied without hesitation: "Although there are many differences, but... I think the core part of onee-sama hasn't changed at all. On this point, Eugeo It's the same."

When Selka mentioned Eugeo, Alice suddenly realized that she didn't really know Eugeo.

After just a few unpleasant contacts, Eugeo became the integrity knight now. Although she recounted to him with certainty the experiences that belonged to Eugeo that she had heard from others, she herself He doesn't know anything about the past Eugeo.

"Selka..." Alice whispered, "What was Eugeo like before?"

"Before...?" Selka tapped her chin with her index finger, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "The Eugeo of the past was a person who was gentle to everyone and as warm as Sols. But my sister was After the Integrity Knight was taken away, he is like now, hiding his true feelings, not talking or laughing..."

"Sometimes I feel like I already know him very well, but sometimes, it's as if I've never known him before, but no matter what kind of Eugeo, he's always thinking about others and never caring about himself. People." Selka's wandering gaze gradually became firm: "When I look at him, I always feel like "I must not leave him alone!", "I will wait for him to come back, if no one is waiting for him, Maybe he won't come back!" Feeling... So, even if he lost his memory, he must be Eugeo, yes, I'm sure.So... my sis, please don't say "I'm not your sister" anymore, you are my sister, the one I've been waiting for for a long, long time, finally! "

"I understand, Selka." Alice gently held Selka in her arms, "You are my only sister and the most important relative I have in this world."

"I... I also like onee-sama the most!"

Selka lingered in Alice's arms for a long time, and suddenly let out a cry: "Oops! The clothes haven't been washed at all!"

Alice finally realized that instead of being able to help Selka, she became a burden, which was really unexpected for a powerful integrity knight.

After thinking for a moment, Alice still took another piece of clothing to try to clean it. It was because she couldn't do it that she had to work hard.Now she is just Alice Schumberk, so in order to let her sister live a better life, she must be omnipotent.

After fighting no less than a big battle, the two finally finished washing all the clothes and set foot on the journey home.

"Onee-sama, is Eugeo awake yet?" Selka asked on the way back.The unconscious Eugeo had been sleeping since the last battle at the Mountain Range of the End.

Alice nodded: "Forcibly launching the "Armed Full Control Technique" is too messy for him now, and his already incomplete soul may be quite burdened. "

"Then, have you ever tried sacred arts?"

Hearing Selka's question, Alice fell into deep thought.

After repelling the "Army of Darkness", Alice immediately began to use the holy spell on Eugeo, but then she discovered that a holy spell was already in effect on Eugeo's body, and the wound on his body was visible to the naked eye The speed is healing, and the destiny will soon return to the upper limit.

When Eugeo was fighting the Administrator, he didn't have this kind of cheating spell at all, so there was only one answer. It must be the power of mind that Kirito bet his life on before he lost consciousness.

If it wasn't for saving himself, such a sad thing would never have happened, but it was also himself who arrested them to the Tower of Chalk and pushed them to death step by step.But now self-blame is useless, the only way to repay them is to live well and take care of Selka and the two of them.

"Go back, Selka." Alice grabbed Selka's hand, "If Eugeo wakes up, he will be very hungry. Let's go back and prepare breakfast."

"OK!"

The two quickened their pace and returned to the village.Pushing open the door of the cabin, the aroma of food came in. Today's vegetable and meat porridge has been cooked longer than usual, and it will definitely be more delicious. With such a mood, Alice and Selka pushed Eugeo and Tong away. human door...

There was no one in the room.

7.

Eugeo tightened his cloak again in the harsh, sandy wind of the Land of Darkness.

At this moment, he was pushing Kirito, walking in the territory of the Kingdom of Darkness, crossing the desolate blood-red border line, and he stepped into the real territory of the Kingdom of Darkness for the first time.Compared with the human world, the buildings in the Kingdom of Darkness are hideous and rough, and the broken weapons discarded everywhere prove that this is a world that only abides by the laws of the jungle.

Kirito's black hair and pupils are not uncommon in the Land of Darkness, but Eugeo's hair color is as conspicuous as lights in a starry night, so he can only temporarily cover it with a cloak.

About three days ago, Eugeo had a dream in which he regained his memory and woke up on an ice field.There, he met Kirito, who was conscious, as firm and confident as when he first met, but after waking up again, everything in the dream became blurred.

Such a vast ice field must be further north than the End Mountain Range. If we can find that ice field, maybe we can find clues to wake Kirito up.

So Eugeo immediately left a letter and brought Kirito to the Kingdom of Darkness.

"Alice will be angry if I take you away quietly like this." Eugeo said while pushing Kirito forward, "But... I can't deal with Selka's worried eyes, so farewell is inevitable." Alright."

Although he knew early on that he would not get a response, Eugeo got used to talking to Kirito like this since at some point.

As he got closer to the inhabited colony, it became difficult for Eugeo to move forward.This is the hometown of the enemy. Although he has the strength to stand against a thousand, he will definitely die if he reveals his identity.

"Where do you come from?" The half-orc guarding the city gate looked up and down at this somewhat strange combination.

Eugeo raised his hand and pointed to the north.He doesn't understand the customs of the country of darkness, the more he talks, the easier it is to expose, so he can only keep silent as much as possible.

"It really is Black Num from the rear." The half-orc pointed at Kirito contemptuously and asked, "What's the matter with him?"

Eugeo tugged on the cloak, and said in a low voice, "He is my younger brother, who was seriously injured in the battle with 'over there'. After speaking, he pointed to Fang Fang again.

"Him?" The half-orc raised his voice strangely, "I'm afraid this skinny brat won't be able to fill his stomach even if he makes rations for the cannibals, and he also wants to join Lord Vector's holy army? You're probably bragging, right? Haha Hahahahahaha!" Driven by him, several orcs around him also burst into laughter.

It seems that reasoning does not make sense. The Kingdom of Darkness is a world where power is paramount. The weak obey the strong is their "taboo list". If you want to avoid being embarrassed, the only thing you can do is to show your strength.

Eugeo drew an S in the air and exhaled the "Window of Stacia".

Eugeo looked at the number displayed behind the priority column, and was surprised himself. "Class 5417", this was the priority he had obtained after fighting the Sword Giant and Administrator, and it was far beyond the level of integrity knights.When he suppressed his surprise to observe the reaction of the orcs, he realized that they had already fled screaming.

"You're a coward as always." Eugeo commented blankly, then pushed Kirito forward.

This unexpected discovery made their journey unimpeded, and Eugeo couldn't be happier.The north of the End Mountain Range was not covered with more ice and snow as he expected, and although the weather was harsh, the temperature did not drop.

If you keep walking like this, what will you encounter?For the inhabitants of the human world, the End Mountain Range is the end of the world.Although they have heard of the existence of the Kingdom of Darkness, under the paralysis of peaceful life, the Kingdom of Darkness has long been no different from legends.

And for the residents of the Kingdom of Darkness, what is the northernmost point of the world?If the end of the world really exists, will it look like that ice sheet?

Eugeo walked like this for an unknown amount of time, switching modes of transportation again and again, from a desolate town to a prosperous capital, and then through a desolate town again, and the surroundings became desolate again.

Finally, he finally saw what could be called "the end of the world" - the "Wall of the End" that could not be jumped over.

Even if he didn't go under the huge wall himself, Eugeo understood that the ice field he was looking for didn't exist in front of him.

At this time, Eugeo was not so much depressed as he had a premonition of "knowing this".He walked up to Kirito and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?"

He still clearly remembers the feelings in the dream, the nostalgia, joy and guilt.He finally understood that what Alice said was true, he had such a deep connection with the boy in front of him, they were closely connected by something more important than life.But after waking up, he became an empty puppet again. After seeing the light, he fell into darkness and nothingness again, so he desperately searched for the illusory ice field. The void refills and he may go mad.

He pressed his chest tightly, trying to stop the pain violently, but it didn't make any sense, his hands couldn't reach that far.

Just like he is clearly in front of Kirito, and he has obtained everything he deeply desires from Kirito, but he is not as far away as the real "Eugeo".

"This is truly remarkable."

The sudden sound from the deserted wasteland made Eugeo calm down and become alert.

He turned around and saw a man in armor with an ominous aura all over his body.

"Who are you?" While speaking, Eugeo's hand was already on the sword of the night sky.

"A person who pursues, steals, and plunders." The man replied in a deep voice.

His attire, and Eugeo with a priority of 5000 and above, made his hair stand on end, even more ominous than Administrator, so Eugeo had vaguely guessed his identity.

The legendary dark god - Vector.

Just like the land of darkness is to the inhabitants of the human world, "God" is nothing more than a legendary existence to Eugeo until he sees it with his own eyes.

"As an artificial FluctLight in the human world, you can not only break the "Taboo Index", but also travel through the Kingdom of Darkness to reach the "Wall of Ending". "Vector stated lightly with a metal-like emotionless voice: "Perhaps, you are the same as the "Pride of Light", a special existence. "

Words that he had never heard before came out of the other party's mouth one after another. At this moment, Eugeo's curiosity overcame his fear, and he couldn't help asking: "What is artificial FluctLight...?"

The operator behind Vector, U.S. Army Lieutenant, Gabriel Miller... naturally became interested in the boy in front of him.

He has made such a feat, without the support of a firm mind, it is impossible for him to go to this place, and such an artificial FluctLight, his soul is incomplete.

Gabriel's goal is to obtain the "Pride of Light", but the boy in front of him is as outstanding as the "Pride of Light". Maybe he can become a good test subject before capturing the "Pride of Light".

"Artificial FluctLight is what RealWorld calls your false beings."

Starting with such a sentence, Gabriel Miller described the reality of this world to Eugeo in the shortest and most effective way without fear or pity.
