Awakening of Rebirth
Chapter 39 Hilda
Jiang Zheng was a little worried about Chang Sheng. In fact, even Chang Sheng didn't know what was wrong with him.
Mingming had heard that Hilda had been to Wodo more than 200 years ago, which was more or less related to the seal of the keel. She should have been prepared in her heart, but now she learned that Hilda had also come After passing through this area, it is still unacceptable for a while.
Hilda passed away due to dystocia after giving birth to Mingluo. At that time, Chang Sheng was only a child under two years old and knew nothing. The last farewell was only on the day of Hilda's burial. In the arms of the nanny, looking at the cemetery, her eyes were swollen from crying at a loss.
Since then, her impression of Hilda has remained forever on a few scrolls and a tombstone...
At this moment, the gust of wind in the snowy area suddenly became icy cold, and it seemed to have a spirit, wantonly tearing away the fragility unintentionally exposed by outsiders.
Chang Sheng couldn't help shivering.After experiencing Wodo and his party, her physique is actually getting better day by day, but now she feels cold and hard to suppress.
She and Jiang Zheng walked all the way from Ainota to Wagron, and gradually learned about Hilda's past footprints from others. She should be happy, but Hilda has too many unpredictable secrets. The secret, regardless of whether it has any effect on the resurrection of the black dragon, is bound to be related to her gradually changing physical condition recently.
She became more and more confused about who she was, and also less and less sure of how to proceed in the future.
The giant Soder had no doubts about missing Chang Sheng, and suddenly said: "You are very surprised."
Chang Sheng didn't answer.
"200 years ago, a human came here."
Chang Sheng couldn't help but feel tense, God knows how afraid she is now to hear that Hilda has done something to help the black dragon in other people's mouths.
"At that time, Wuwanghai often had obvious changes. It was she who brought us the magic circle to help Minglu strengthen the keel seal, and asked us to sacrifice every year. We have been doing so for more than 200 years. Appear again."
"Change?"
The giants didn't know how to describe that vision. After thinking for a long time, they only gave a general idea.
At that time, the bottom of the ice was often red, and most of the fish and shrimp caught had already died. In the middle of the night, there was a dark purple light lingering under the ice, as if it was time to break out of the ice.
Some people say that from time to time, they can hear hoarse laughter like hell, almost crazy.
The whole of Wagron was shrouded in panic, and from time to time, some members of the tribe even fell into madness and lost their minds.
Blind seemed to be touched: "How long did the days you mentioned last?"
"It's been a long, long time..." said the giantess beside him, "The black dragon is not dead, but just asleep. We know that all the changes are just because his consciousness is gradually waking up, eroding Wagron a little bit, and even Mingluo is also dying. Nothing can be done."
Thord said: "So we are all very grateful to that human being, she restored Wagron's peace."
Jiang Zheng listened, looked at Chang Sheng, and smiled encouragingly: "You should trust her."
Chang Sheng smiled slightly, nodded and remained silent.
Blind couldn't help asking: "Have you ever thought that all this is brought about by the keel seal, without this seal, you giants would be like orcs without any shackles on your body."
"I've thought about it, but the black dragon is an out-and-out devil without a trace of conscience. Will the consequences of his resurrection be lighter than the shackles on us now?"
Blindly smiled, no more words.
At sunset, the giant sent them to the sea, and what they saw was a boundless sea covered with a thick layer of ice.
"This..." Jiang Zheng jumped off the giant's palm lying flat on the ground, squatted down and knocked on the ice: "How do we get down?"
Sood got up and said: "None of our clan members will be buried at sea after death. With the funeral song as a guide, Mingluo will welcome us to the bottom of the sea."
"We're still alive..." Jiang Zheng stood behind Chang Sheng timidly, and said, "Don't you really want us to sink? Earlier... when those two guys came, you also sank them gone?"
As she spoke, she was still thinking in her heart, if she was really sunk, would those two little liars from the Demon Race freeze to death and leave clean?
"They jumped into the sea while we were not paying attention."
"Then you didn't come out?" Jiang Zheng asked.
"Then it never came out." Thord affirmed.
"Is there really a difference between sinking in and jumping in?" Jiang Zheng pursed her lips, and said, "I seem to have deep-sea phobia... suddenly my legs are weak, what should I do?"
Blind stepped forward to hold her shoulder, and said: "Since you have said that Aegloline and Lilith are rare masters of the Demon Race, they naturally have their own way to sneak into the seal. We have never practiced spells, so we can only Use the most primitive method."
"The most primitive way?"
Chang Sheng nodded, took a step forward, and said seriously to Suo De: "Please send us down."
"Do you really want to go on like this?" Jiang Zheng and Baozi looked at each other, and finally Baozi gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Jiang Zheng, we have to rely on you this time." Blind said.
Jiang Zheng had a headache for a while, thinking about it too.
If Baozi said that he didn't dare to go down, then let him wait on it, but she has the power of a phoenix on her body, blindness and Changsheng are both martial arts and not magic, and she is the only one of the four who can hold up enough. A solid spiritual barrier protects everyone.
"Okay." She had no other choice.
Jiang Zheng propped up a barrier a little strangely, and protected himself and Chang Sheng within it. He saw the giants draw an incomprehensible circular formation on the ice, and suddenly sang an ancient song in unison. And a mysterious funeral song.
Accompanied by incomprehensible singing, the ice surface gradually cracked, and a halo of light flashed along the crack, enveloping the magic circle.
In the next second, the four of them were holding hands so tightly that their feet felt empty, and the oppressive feeling was like a wave, rushing towards them in a dark and dark manner.
Sinking, in the cold sea, there was a force dragging them down continuously, the increasing pressure seemed to completely crush the thin barrier, Jiang Zheng began to feel a little helpless.
She remembered the fear of being shrouded in death in her previous life, the river water poured into her mouth and nose, she couldn't breathe, and gradually suffocated... Despair, the time for that sense of despair to permeate the whole body is far more tormented and longer than the real time, lonely and helpless , At a loss, until death.
Changsheng noticed Jiang Zheng's absence, and quickly tightened his grip on her hand: "Azheng, I'm here."
One sentence brought her back to reality, and Jiang Zheng couldn't help taking a few deep breaths.
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the original world, where she was still the helpless liar, and ended up drowning in the river on her own terms.
Well... not really.
Fortunately, Chang Sheng said, "I'm here."
The ancient funeral sent them to the unknown depths of the seabed, and the surroundings were dim. After adapting to this light, they could discern carefully, and they could vaguely see the skeletons of countless giants that had already been turned into reefs.
This is the sea of hopelessness, where is the keel seal?
They looked around like headless chickens, but they found nothing like a needle in a haystack.
Blind said that there is probably a maze here, just like the forest shrouded in mist in Wodo.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, but the deep sea is not divided into day and night, exhaustion gradually invades them, just when they are confused, an ethereal voice comes leisurely: "This is the cemetery of giants, why did they send you foreigners in here?" ?”
The source of the voice is elusive, it seems not hostile, but somewhat guarded.
But before they could react, the owner of the voice said again: "The familiar breath, in a blink of an eye, it has been 200 years..."
"You mean Hilda?" Chang Sheng immediately realized that she cared about everything about Hilda more than anyone else.
"Are you from Ainota?"
Chang Sheng quickly responded: "Yes!"
After a period of almost dead silence, the voice sounded again: "I'm waiting for you."
After all, suddenly countless schools of fluorescent fish came from all directions, and they slowly gathered together, like a bright galaxy, illuminating the boundless deep sea and guiding them in the direction to go.
Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, Jiang Zheng quickly followed.
Led by the school of fish, the four of them came to a huge remains. From a distance, it was much bigger than the giants they had seen before.
A near-empty light and shadow gradually condensed into a shape, turning into a woman without legs, floating above the remains, and under her, it seemed to be an ancient altar entangled in seaweed.
"That's a spirit." Blind reminded in a low voice.
"The giant's ancestor is the most powerful existence in Wagron for tens of thousands of years." The woman said lightly, her tone seemed to have nothing to do with her: "He was buried here at the beginning, and his will was still alive after his death. Among them, there are us."
Jiang Zheng traveled all the way with Changsheng, remembering that the four of them had mentioned spirits during their rest and chat. This is a strange race. They are spirit creatures produced by changes in mental power. It's not a spirit, let alone a demon.
It is said that when the spirit race is strong enough, it can condense into a solid body and transform into thousands of forms. They are good at manipulating elements, are born with powerful spiritual power, like to walk alone, and cannot reproduce.Because spiritual power cannot be regenerated, to reproduce the next generation, one can only transfer all one's own spiritual power, which means the end of the life of the previous generation.Therefore, the number of this population is extremely small, and it is difficult to trace it.
"The ancestors of the giants made us, and the descendants of the giants enshrined us, and we guarded this place for generations. Over time, the giants regarded us as guardians and called us the underworld..."
She kept saying "we", but Jiang Zheng pretended to sneak around and looked around, but there was no second figure.
Seemingly seeing the outsider's doubts, she smiled and said, "I am the last one left in the clan." She said, looking up at Chang Sheng, and said, "Hilda's descendant, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Chang Sheng couldn't help taking a few steps forward, and said in a daze, "Wait for me?"
The woman smiled faintly: "Wait for you."
***
Ling said that more than 3000 years ago, the giant brought the keel and prayed to her ancestors to seal it forever. The nightmare began at that moment.
The black dragon has gradually awakened in the long years. He is a devil with the power to erode people's hearts.
Mental devastation, inner struggle, frequent but imperceptible internal rebellion, the trust between each other also fell apart.In this way, the clansmen who guarded the seal for generations were forced into the abyss of despair bit by bit by the black dragon.
Everything that happened on the bottom of the sea is unknown to the giants.
The giants who were also affected by the black dragon prayed day and night. They heard the pleas of those who were entangled in pain, but they could not help them.
If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect others?
Finally, in desperation, the patriarch made a decision that shocked everyone.
"We can only form souls."
Soul knot, in the spirit race, means to fuse the souls of different spiritual bodies to reshape a more powerful spiritual body.
"We are not strong enough. The black dragon is eating us and everything we want to protect... Each of us can perish from this world, but the underworld that guards the Hopeless Sea and the entire Wagron cannot!"
"We must leave one person, the most powerful person, to pass on our power from generation to generation!"
After a dead silence, the clansmen stood up one after another, their expressions were extremely resolute, but they couldn't hide their sadness.
They gathered together and chatted about every big and small event in the bottom of their hearts for hundreds of years, and in the end, before the fate came, they hugged each other and said goodbye.
The chosen ones gained supreme power under a huge soul-bonding sacrifice, but lost all their clansmen.
He fought against the black dragon in solitude, year after year without stopping.
When he was old, he passed on his strength and all his beliefs and persistence to the next generation, and he has lived up to it from generation to generation.
However, the power of the black dragon is getting stronger and stronger. Even if the power of the whole clan is gathered, under the passage of time and the replacement of the power of protection from generation to generation, it will eventually feel exhausted again.
Until more than 200 years ago, a "human being" named Hilda Dana brought a magic circle to strengthen the black dragon seal and saved the keel seal that was about to collapse.
***
Everything was just as the giant said, the black dragon never died, but fell asleep. His consciousness was gradually waking up, eroding the four seals bit by bit, and the guardians, apart from watching the seal collapse a little bit, had nothing to do.
The seal in Ainota affected Changsheng's eldest brother, and the seal in Wodo also set off a bloody storm, and in places they didn't know, the power of the black dragon was also recovering little by little.
Even Wagron, who was far away in the extremely cold place and isolated from the world, was not spared, and Eggert might not be much better.
At the end of this story, Ling stopped talking, and just looked at Chang Sheng with a complicated expression, as if waiting for something.
Changsheng hesitated for a long time, and said: "Tell me, I have your familiar aura..."
"Since your body has mutated, you should be aware that you are not a human being." Ling said.
Chang Sheng couldn't help biting his lower lip tightly, and after a long silence, he asked with difficulty: "Then what am I?"
Ling spread out his palm, and after the brilliance passed, a pearl rested quietly in his palm: "The answer is in front of your eyes, do you dare to touch it?"
Jiang Zheng and Baozi looked at Chang Sheng worriedly, and sat blindly aside, silently wiping the short bow in their hands.
There are some things that they can't help, they can only let Chang Sheng face it by himself.
Chang Sheng's outstretched hand approached but subconsciously withdrew it.
Everything she doubted was right in front of her eyes, but would she dare to touch it?Sometimes, if you don't reveal a lot of truth, you may be able to live in peace for a long time, but once you reveal it, the illusion will swallow up the so-called truth in your heart and make the world cruel.
She was timid. She had died once, and she was calm in the face of life and death, but at this moment, she dared not touch the answer she had always wanted to seek.
Suddenly, a thin hand patted her on the shoulder, she turned her head, Jiang Zheng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter what, I will face it with you."
Like a spring breeze, blowing into the softest corner of my heart.
Chang Sheng secretly made up his mind and reached out to take the pearl.
In the next second, the pearls touched by the fingertips turned into shattered light in an instant, fluttering leisurely, and finally fell into the center of Chang Sheng's eyebrows.
***
Hilda Dana's life is a legend that no one knows, and it was only when her life was almost at the end that it was really written into the book, and in the eyes of the world, it was just a queen who died young in the history of Anota .
In Hilda's life, there was no one closest to her, or in other words, her closest people never really understood her.
In Hilda's impression, her mother is a gentle and beautiful woman, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she always smiles and never fights or grabs for anything. Be willing to let go of your own things, learn to let go of things that are not suitable for you, obsession is bitter, and it is poisonous to the bone."
Yes, obsession is a poison to the bone. Hilda has always had an obsession in her heart, which makes her mother feel very worried.
She endured quietly for a long time, living like a human being, and moved around with her mother all the way, once every ten years, just to prevent people from discovering the secret of their immortality.
Finally, she accompanied her aging mother through the final journey, and with the obsession buried deep in her heart for thousands of years, she embarked on the road of no return that her mother least wanted to see her go.
"Master Zhijiali, I will destroy the four seals and help you revive the dragon clan!"
As long as Hilda can remember, she has never forgotten her identity for a moment.
She is a dragon, a descendant left behind by the demon god Zhijiali in the world—a white dragon.
Back then, the dragon slayer drove all the dragons to extinction. Chi and the pregnant Wen were separated after a difficult battle. The severely injured Wen gave birth to a daughter after escaping from the pursuit. She sealed the dragon's breath with her remaining power and transformed into a human. , took him east to hide in Tibet for hundreds of years, his health deteriorated day by day, although he wanted to go to find Chi who fled to the Demon Island, but he couldn't hold on and died of exhaustion.
Before Wen died, she didn't mention the matter of going to Chi again. Hilda's grandmother, Wen's daughter, spent her whole life in the human territory until Chi was besieged and killed, until she died.
Hilda still couldn't understand why grandma and mother were like this. They were so gentle, but why they could watch so heartlessly that their only relatives in the world were crushed and sealed away, but remained indifferent?
She had vowed to save Chi, the clansman who should be called a great-grandfather.
So she followed the legend and began to search for the secret of the seal, and traveled to too many places year after year.
In her life, she had met countless people by chance and talked freely, and she had also had acquaintances with countless people and talked nonsense.
After trekking through so many mountains and rivers and seeing so many people of all kinds, she finally found out the real news about the seal, but gradually began to doubt whether what she did was correct.
She is a dragon, but she grew up with humans.
The ancestors of human beings did destroy the Dragon Clan, but 3000 years have passed, the vicissitudes have changed, and the original enemies have long since ceased to exist.
Chi Jiali has accumulated more than 3000 years of resentment towards this world, and she will definitely get it back with interest on the day of resurrection. When the time comes, people will be devastated. Is this really what she wants to see?
Hilda went to Wodo with this daze.
It is said that the quicksand priest of the Chiba family has lived for more than 2000 years and is a wise man who sees through everything.
She didn't dare to offend, she just patiently waited for the interview, after a long time, she also developed some feelings with the elves.
Finally, Qianye Liusha asked the spirit girl to invite her to the tree of life.
With doubts in her heart, she stood so close to the bones of her relatives for the first time, looked at the elf priest, and said calmly: "If I want to take the keel, what should you do?"
Qianye Liusha is also indifferent: "I will kill you."
"You have that ability?"
"Hilda, you dragons are not omnipotent." Qianye Liusha turned to look at Hilda, and said with a smile: "If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't, someone will do it for me. And you, alone and helpless, because the world eliminated you."
Hilda stared blankly at Qianye Liusha, and saw her pass a glass of wine as if nothing happened, and said, "Don't you understand? There is no need for dragons in this world."
"..."
"There is a power in you that everyone yearns for. I don't know where it comes from, but I can feel its existence. If you don't believe it, you can go to the future and look carefully with your eyes, see Find out if the world really needs a black dragon."
Hilda couldn't help being startled, Qianye Liusha was right, there was a strange power in her body, it didn't know where it came from, but it could travel through time and space.
She was playful when she was young, and she caused irreparable harm to others because she went back to yesterday and changed some small things, so she didn't dare to use this kind of power since then. Now, she clenched her teeth and relied on her own powerful power Walking towards the future step by step, she finally saw the day when the black dragon was resurrected, accompanied by the bloody storm that she had expected, but never wanted to think about.
The last black dragon in the world, the demon god Chigari, after sleeping for more than 3000 years, the first thing he did when he woke up was to let his hatred burn to the entire El and the continent.
He cruelly brought mountains of corpses and seas of blood to this world.
At that moment, Hilda really understood that perhaps the dragon was no longer needed.
If the El and the strongest race in the past were not abandoned by the world, the world would be destroyed.
Hilda lived under the tree of life in a trance for a few days, and Qianye Liusha would invite her to sit with her, and then casually chatted about some big and small things that happened in Waldo over the past 2000 years.
The happy ones, the unhappy ones, and the brutal blood sacrifice the black dragon had made on Voldo.
Hilda remembered that Qianye Liusha's tone was very light, as if what she said was something that had nothing to do with her.But the stories in those words all further disintegrated her already shaken belief.
Voldo used to be such a beautiful, kind and beautiful race living here without restraint, but the black dragon changed them, made them vigilant, became no longer friendly to the outside world, and even stained with the blood of their own people...
What would happen to Wodo if the black dragon was brought back to life?What about the whole of El and the continent?
She couldn't help sighing, this world really doesn't need a dragon anymore, it can no longer bear such a powerful force.
On the day of leaving Wodo, Hilda told Qianye Liusha the method her mother left behind to seal the power of the dragon clan. When she waved goodbye, she couldn't help asking: "You have guarded this tree for too long, why don't you If you change someone else, you should also rest."
Qianye Liusha said thank you: "I have lived for so long, there is nothing I can't ignore, but I can't let go of this obsession to guard Wo Duo."
"My mother said that obsession is suffering, and it is a poison that penetrates to the bone."
Qianye Liusha was noncommittal, just smiled and said: "If you really want to understand, go and help those who need help more."
Hilda nodded and turned to leave.
……
The scene changed, and Hilda came to Wagron. She saw a giant living in dire straits. She wrote the method of sealing the dragon's breath into a simple and easy-to-understand formation, handed it over to the leader, and then dived into the bottom of the sea to help strengthen the underworld. sealed.
Before leaving, looking at the lonely and hopeless Hai Mingluo, she deeply felt the cruelty of the black dragon again.
She thought of countless ways in her mind, trying to completely destroy the black dragon's bones, but all of them were in vain.
So she went to Eggert, found the hell furnace where the dwarves sealed the keel, left the sealing method again, and went to Ainota.
Everything has changed during this journey.
Years of wars and constant changes of dynasties made humans forget everything about the keel seal, and she was even more deeply moved by humans and became pregnant with his flesh and blood.
In order to be with him, Hilda did not hesitate to endure great pain, forcefully activated the spell, and sealed the dragon's breath of the fetus in her belly early, but doing so also caused her vitality to be severely injured, leaving the bottom of the Cloud Tower covered in dust The black dragon found an opportunity to take advantage of.
The black dragon wanted to kill her, this traitor of the same clan, but she, being on guard every day, was still pregnant with her second child after all, and forced to activate the seal again. When her body was weakest, the black dragon found an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Just before her death, Hilda dragged her tired body and hid in the space-time tunnel. This time, she found that she could no longer go to the future, because her life had passed away the moment she gave birth to Mingluo.
She told herself that changing the past can change the future, so she walked step by step towards the past, trying to change everything that happened along the way that could kill her.
But after countless futile attempts, Hilda finally found that her death was irreversible.
Because she fell in love with Di Lanse, maybe anyone in this world can fall in love with a dragon, but a powerful king can't.She had to hide her secret deeply so that she could be with him for the rest of her life, and the price of forcing the seal to cover up her children's dragon's breath again and again would be a great loss of vitality, and she would no longer be able to compete with the black dragon.
This is the destiny that cannot be changed.If you want to change forcibly, you can only do it again, bypassing the loved one far away, until death.
In this way, her children will cease to exist.
……
Hilda was lost in the tunnel of time and space. She looked at the short few years of happiness with De Lancer in her thousands of years of life. Scene after scene, it seemed like it was just yesterday.
Finally, she made a decision.
She went back to the day when she bid farewell to Qianye Liusha more than 200 years ago, and said the last sentence before leaving: "If a child named Changsheng comes to you in the future, please tell her, I went Wagron."
Qianye Liusha looked at her indifferently, as indifferent as she remembered, as if she didn't really exist in the world.
Hilda didn't say much anymore, she just rushed towards Wagron, engraved everything she had experienced in her life into a pearl with spells, helped the giant as before, and handed it over to the giant in the depths of the sea. protector.
"Even if this seal is strengthened, it won't last long. In the future, my descendants may come here and give this to her."
……
After completing the entrustment, she walked through the tunnel of time and space for the last time, listening to all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys she saw along the way, in a trance, she seemed to see a helpless figure floating in the long time and space, fearing that she had no destination The wandering soul completely lost himself in countless time and space.
At that moment, that soul was so close to her, so close that a hand could pull it back on track.
Hilda hesitated for a moment, reached out to help her, thought for a long time, and transferred all the power from the unknown source into her body, and said softly: "If it wasn't for me, you would be lost in countless time and space forever. I saved you, you should repay me, I will send you to a place, you go to help my child..."
She said, with a wave of her hand, she sent the wandering soul to the not-too-distant future, while she walked towards her doomed death very calmly.
At the end of the picture, Hilda died of dystocia, and everything fell into darkness.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of Chang Sheng's eyes, and suddenly, she heard a strange voice ringing in her ears.
she says:
Changsheng, Mingluo, my children, when you come here to seal, I must have already passed away.
Although I can't bear it, since you have come here, it must mean that the black dragon has seriously touched the safety of Anota, and even the entire El and the mainland.
I have to tell you a cruel fact, we are the descendants of dragons, our people were driven to extinction by dragon slayers, but at the same time, the hands of our ancestors were also stained with the blood of people of all races.
Such an identity once made me extremely proud, and it did cause me a lot of pain in the end, but no matter what, I hope you can face it bravely, because I believe that you are braver than me.
I once thought about changing the world, but I found that my own power is limited after all, and there are too many things I can't let go of, and I am reluctant to let go.There are gains and losses in everything. In many cases, the harder you try to keep something, the easier it is to lose it.So I chose to give up, but I don't call it cowardly, because I know that after I give up struggling, I will face the most unwilling thing in my life.
That is death, parting, not being able to fulfill your motherly responsibilities to you, not even being able to protect everything I want to protect anymore.But I have been a dragon for thousands of years, and I can die as a human being in the end. This life is considered regretless.
I have set a seal on you, if you don't unseal, there will be no other abnormalities except that your lifespan is longer than ordinary humans.
If your body has mutated, it must be the work of the black dragon. His blood is flowing on your body, and he is calling you.
The black dragon is cruel and ruthless, so don't listen to his lies easily and use him for his own use.You and Mingluo are both Ainota's people in life and death. Whenever you grow up, you must always remember who you grew up with and what you should protect.
We are both descendants of dragons, and no one knows the weaknesses of dragons better than us. Some things are unclear, but if you want, you can use the method I stay in to unseal yourself. The future of El and the mainland, on my behalf Keep on guarding.
If you don't want to, it's your freedom, I just hope that the black dragon will be resurrected in the future, so that your brother and sister can stick to their pride in being human in this life, and fight to the death against it.
***
Chang Sheng tightly clenched his fists, and sat beside the altar in a daze, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red, but he didn't choke up.
She is a dragon, a dragon that the world fears and hates.
She has a life longer than human beings, and she has to wander around like Hilda once, just to hide the secret hidden under her ageless face.
Perhaps, she will be like Qianye Liusha, watching her loved ones grow old, sick and die, and then learn to be indifferent.
Everything that was once far away seemed to be close to her at this moment, but those little dreams that belonged to the short life that were once within reach completely abandoned her at this moment.
She couldn't even tell whether that carefree feeling in the past ten years, when she knew nothing about her life experience, was Hilda's last kindness to her before she left, or God's last kindness to her before the cruel truth came. .
For a moment, she even felt that the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, maybe it was nothing more than that.
What pain can be compared to that everything you firmly believe is a lie, and everything you are familiar with is an illusion?
Jiang Zheng had never seen Chang Sheng cry so subduedly. Although she didn't know what she saw, her heart couldn't stop aching along with her emotions.
"Changsheng..."
"Azheng, she said... She once wanted to change the world, but realized that her own power is limited after all, and there are too many things she can't let go of, and she is reluctant to let go, pushing herself forward all the way, completely involuntary."
Jiang Zheng couldn't help being taken aback, and then shook his head again and again: "There is a lovely saying over there that tells me that my life is up to me, and there are similar sayings in many middle school novels... Changsheng, everyone has a body in their life. Involuntary things, but this is not a reason to give up and move forward."
Chang Sheng stared at Jiang Zheng with some hesitation, and after a long time, he said blindly, "It's so sad, it's probably not good news. If that's the case, I'm afraid there is no way out."
Baozi nodded and said, "There is no retreat, we can only move forward. This is what we said before."
"Changsheng, I don't know what you saw, but I hope you cheer up and think about your father and brother who are waiting for you to go back in Ainota, think about your brother, he is still waiting for you to give him a birthday present, I really thought it was a Can Feng Changxin be perfunctory with some cold weapons in between? And, and me, I..." Jiang Zheng said, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hesitantly added a word: "Men."
"If you're really uncomfortable, just cry out loud! If you want to tell us those messy little secrets, just tell us, and if you don't want to, then cry aloud, let it out..."
After a moment of silence, Changsheng slowly retracted into Jiang Zheng's embrace, at first his body trembled slightly, and then gradually turned from sobbing softly to howling loudly.
Jiang Zheng patted her on the shoulder lightly like a child, and chattered about people or things she had never heard of before, full of great truths, like an old woman who loves random thoughts.
Chang Sheng's thoughts could not help drifting to the distance.
The first meeting seemed like yesterday.
It was her 19th birthday. Jiang Zheng was dressed in clothes that did not belong to Ainota. She walked carefully through the crowd, walked to her side with a smile, and leaned slightly towards her.
——I saw a beautiful and special girl, I couldn't control my heart, and wanted to get acquainted with her.
—I don’t know if I have the honor to know her name?
But at that time, she didn't know that meeting that strange woman was the greatest luck in her life.
……
Empress, no matter how cruel the reality is, thank you for bringing her to me.
***
Ling has been sitting silently by the side, waiting for Chang Sheng's mood to return to normal.
The little girl whose face was full of doubts and worries when she first came here now looks resolute.
At the beginning, it was Hilda who saved the entire Wagron, and Hilda asked her to wait for this child, so she also believed in this child.
Chang Sheng succinctly stated the purpose of this visit, but she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"You want to take the keel?"
"We must take it away. Wodo's tree of life is about to wither, and if the four seals are broken again, it will definitely affect the whole body."
"But if you take it away like this, won't you..."
"We are sure enough to suppress the power in the keel in a short period of time, and when the keel is collected, we will have our own method to make him completely disappear in this world!" Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Please believe me, no one will be more powerful than me." I hope the black dragon dies even more."
The tragic death of a close relative, the betrayal of her elder brother, and her own death due to injustice, these futures that remain in her memory make her shudder every day.
Now, I know better
Mingming had heard that Hilda had been to Wodo more than 200 years ago, which was more or less related to the seal of the keel. She should have been prepared in her heart, but now she learned that Hilda had also come After passing through this area, it is still unacceptable for a while.
Hilda passed away due to dystocia after giving birth to Mingluo. At that time, Chang Sheng was only a child under two years old and knew nothing. The last farewell was only on the day of Hilda's burial. In the arms of the nanny, looking at the cemetery, her eyes were swollen from crying at a loss.
Since then, her impression of Hilda has remained forever on a few scrolls and a tombstone...
At this moment, the gust of wind in the snowy area suddenly became icy cold, and it seemed to have a spirit, wantonly tearing away the fragility unintentionally exposed by outsiders.
Chang Sheng couldn't help shivering.After experiencing Wodo and his party, her physique is actually getting better day by day, but now she feels cold and hard to suppress.
She and Jiang Zheng walked all the way from Ainota to Wagron, and gradually learned about Hilda's past footprints from others. She should be happy, but Hilda has too many unpredictable secrets. The secret, regardless of whether it has any effect on the resurrection of the black dragon, is bound to be related to her gradually changing physical condition recently.
She became more and more confused about who she was, and also less and less sure of how to proceed in the future.
The giant Soder had no doubts about missing Chang Sheng, and suddenly said: "You are very surprised."
Chang Sheng didn't answer.
"200 years ago, a human came here."
Chang Sheng couldn't help but feel tense, God knows how afraid she is now to hear that Hilda has done something to help the black dragon in other people's mouths.
"At that time, Wuwanghai often had obvious changes. It was she who brought us the magic circle to help Minglu strengthen the keel seal, and asked us to sacrifice every year. We have been doing so for more than 200 years. Appear again."
"Change?"
The giants didn't know how to describe that vision. After thinking for a long time, they only gave a general idea.
At that time, the bottom of the ice was often red, and most of the fish and shrimp caught had already died. In the middle of the night, there was a dark purple light lingering under the ice, as if it was time to break out of the ice.
Some people say that from time to time, they can hear hoarse laughter like hell, almost crazy.
The whole of Wagron was shrouded in panic, and from time to time, some members of the tribe even fell into madness and lost their minds.
Blind seemed to be touched: "How long did the days you mentioned last?"
"It's been a long, long time..." said the giantess beside him, "The black dragon is not dead, but just asleep. We know that all the changes are just because his consciousness is gradually waking up, eroding Wagron a little bit, and even Mingluo is also dying. Nothing can be done."
Thord said: "So we are all very grateful to that human being, she restored Wagron's peace."
Jiang Zheng listened, looked at Chang Sheng, and smiled encouragingly: "You should trust her."
Chang Sheng smiled slightly, nodded and remained silent.
Blind couldn't help asking: "Have you ever thought that all this is brought about by the keel seal, without this seal, you giants would be like orcs without any shackles on your body."
"I've thought about it, but the black dragon is an out-and-out devil without a trace of conscience. Will the consequences of his resurrection be lighter than the shackles on us now?"
Blindly smiled, no more words.
At sunset, the giant sent them to the sea, and what they saw was a boundless sea covered with a thick layer of ice.
"This..." Jiang Zheng jumped off the giant's palm lying flat on the ground, squatted down and knocked on the ice: "How do we get down?"
Sood got up and said: "None of our clan members will be buried at sea after death. With the funeral song as a guide, Mingluo will welcome us to the bottom of the sea."
"We're still alive..." Jiang Zheng stood behind Chang Sheng timidly, and said, "Don't you really want us to sink? Earlier... when those two guys came, you also sank them gone?"
As she spoke, she was still thinking in her heart, if she was really sunk, would those two little liars from the Demon Race freeze to death and leave clean?
"They jumped into the sea while we were not paying attention."
"Then you didn't come out?" Jiang Zheng asked.
"Then it never came out." Thord affirmed.
"Is there really a difference between sinking in and jumping in?" Jiang Zheng pursed her lips, and said, "I seem to have deep-sea phobia... suddenly my legs are weak, what should I do?"
Blind stepped forward to hold her shoulder, and said: "Since you have said that Aegloline and Lilith are rare masters of the Demon Race, they naturally have their own way to sneak into the seal. We have never practiced spells, so we can only Use the most primitive method."
"The most primitive way?"
Chang Sheng nodded, took a step forward, and said seriously to Suo De: "Please send us down."
"Do you really want to go on like this?" Jiang Zheng and Baozi looked at each other, and finally Baozi gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Jiang Zheng, we have to rely on you this time." Blind said.
Jiang Zheng had a headache for a while, thinking about it too.
If Baozi said that he didn't dare to go down, then let him wait on it, but she has the power of a phoenix on her body, blindness and Changsheng are both martial arts and not magic, and she is the only one of the four who can hold up enough. A solid spiritual barrier protects everyone.
"Okay." She had no other choice.
Jiang Zheng propped up a barrier a little strangely, and protected himself and Chang Sheng within it. He saw the giants draw an incomprehensible circular formation on the ice, and suddenly sang an ancient song in unison. And a mysterious funeral song.
Accompanied by incomprehensible singing, the ice surface gradually cracked, and a halo of light flashed along the crack, enveloping the magic circle.
In the next second, the four of them were holding hands so tightly that their feet felt empty, and the oppressive feeling was like a wave, rushing towards them in a dark and dark manner.
Sinking, in the cold sea, there was a force dragging them down continuously, the increasing pressure seemed to completely crush the thin barrier, Jiang Zheng began to feel a little helpless.
She remembered the fear of being shrouded in death in her previous life, the river water poured into her mouth and nose, she couldn't breathe, and gradually suffocated... Despair, the time for that sense of despair to permeate the whole body is far more tormented and longer than the real time, lonely and helpless , At a loss, until death.
Changsheng noticed Jiang Zheng's absence, and quickly tightened his grip on her hand: "Azheng, I'm here."
One sentence brought her back to reality, and Jiang Zheng couldn't help taking a few deep breaths.
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the original world, where she was still the helpless liar, and ended up drowning in the river on her own terms.
Well... not really.
Fortunately, Chang Sheng said, "I'm here."
The ancient funeral sent them to the unknown depths of the seabed, and the surroundings were dim. After adapting to this light, they could discern carefully, and they could vaguely see the skeletons of countless giants that had already been turned into reefs.
This is the sea of hopelessness, where is the keel seal?
They looked around like headless chickens, but they found nothing like a needle in a haystack.
Blind said that there is probably a maze here, just like the forest shrouded in mist in Wodo.
Time is passing by every minute and every second, but the deep sea is not divided into day and night, exhaustion gradually invades them, just when they are confused, an ethereal voice comes leisurely: "This is the cemetery of giants, why did they send you foreigners in here?" ?”
The source of the voice is elusive, it seems not hostile, but somewhat guarded.
But before they could react, the owner of the voice said again: "The familiar breath, in a blink of an eye, it has been 200 years..."
"You mean Hilda?" Chang Sheng immediately realized that she cared about everything about Hilda more than anyone else.
"Are you from Ainota?"
Chang Sheng quickly responded: "Yes!"
After a period of almost dead silence, the voice sounded again: "I'm waiting for you."
After all, suddenly countless schools of fluorescent fish came from all directions, and they slowly gathered together, like a bright galaxy, illuminating the boundless deep sea and guiding them in the direction to go.
Chang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, Jiang Zheng quickly followed.
Led by the school of fish, the four of them came to a huge remains. From a distance, it was much bigger than the giants they had seen before.
A near-empty light and shadow gradually condensed into a shape, turning into a woman without legs, floating above the remains, and under her, it seemed to be an ancient altar entangled in seaweed.
"That's a spirit." Blind reminded in a low voice.
"The giant's ancestor is the most powerful existence in Wagron for tens of thousands of years." The woman said lightly, her tone seemed to have nothing to do with her: "He was buried here at the beginning, and his will was still alive after his death. Among them, there are us."
Jiang Zheng traveled all the way with Changsheng, remembering that the four of them had mentioned spirits during their rest and chat. This is a strange race. They are spirit creatures produced by changes in mental power. It's not a spirit, let alone a demon.
It is said that when the spirit race is strong enough, it can condense into a solid body and transform into thousands of forms. They are good at manipulating elements, are born with powerful spiritual power, like to walk alone, and cannot reproduce.Because spiritual power cannot be regenerated, to reproduce the next generation, one can only transfer all one's own spiritual power, which means the end of the life of the previous generation.Therefore, the number of this population is extremely small, and it is difficult to trace it.
"The ancestors of the giants made us, and the descendants of the giants enshrined us, and we guarded this place for generations. Over time, the giants regarded us as guardians and called us the underworld..."
She kept saying "we", but Jiang Zheng pretended to sneak around and looked around, but there was no second figure.
Seemingly seeing the outsider's doubts, she smiled and said, "I am the last one left in the clan." She said, looking up at Chang Sheng, and said, "Hilda's descendant, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Chang Sheng couldn't help taking a few steps forward, and said in a daze, "Wait for me?"
The woman smiled faintly: "Wait for you."
***
Ling said that more than 3000 years ago, the giant brought the keel and prayed to her ancestors to seal it forever. The nightmare began at that moment.
The black dragon has gradually awakened in the long years. He is a devil with the power to erode people's hearts.
Mental devastation, inner struggle, frequent but imperceptible internal rebellion, the trust between each other also fell apart.In this way, the clansmen who guarded the seal for generations were forced into the abyss of despair bit by bit by the black dragon.
Everything that happened on the bottom of the sea is unknown to the giants.
The giants who were also affected by the black dragon prayed day and night. They heard the pleas of those who were entangled in pain, but they could not help them.
If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect others?
Finally, in desperation, the patriarch made a decision that shocked everyone.
"We can only form souls."
Soul knot, in the spirit race, means to fuse the souls of different spiritual bodies to reshape a more powerful spiritual body.
"We are not strong enough. The black dragon is eating us and everything we want to protect... Each of us can perish from this world, but the underworld that guards the Hopeless Sea and the entire Wagron cannot!"
"We must leave one person, the most powerful person, to pass on our power from generation to generation!"
After a dead silence, the clansmen stood up one after another, their expressions were extremely resolute, but they couldn't hide their sadness.
They gathered together and chatted about every big and small event in the bottom of their hearts for hundreds of years, and in the end, before the fate came, they hugged each other and said goodbye.
The chosen ones gained supreme power under a huge soul-bonding sacrifice, but lost all their clansmen.
He fought against the black dragon in solitude, year after year without stopping.
When he was old, he passed on his strength and all his beliefs and persistence to the next generation, and he has lived up to it from generation to generation.
However, the power of the black dragon is getting stronger and stronger. Even if the power of the whole clan is gathered, under the passage of time and the replacement of the power of protection from generation to generation, it will eventually feel exhausted again.
Until more than 200 years ago, a "human being" named Hilda Dana brought a magic circle to strengthen the black dragon seal and saved the keel seal that was about to collapse.
***
Everything was just as the giant said, the black dragon never died, but fell asleep. His consciousness was gradually waking up, eroding the four seals bit by bit, and the guardians, apart from watching the seal collapse a little bit, had nothing to do.
The seal in Ainota affected Changsheng's eldest brother, and the seal in Wodo also set off a bloody storm, and in places they didn't know, the power of the black dragon was also recovering little by little.
Even Wagron, who was far away in the extremely cold place and isolated from the world, was not spared, and Eggert might not be much better.
At the end of this story, Ling stopped talking, and just looked at Chang Sheng with a complicated expression, as if waiting for something.
Changsheng hesitated for a long time, and said: "Tell me, I have your familiar aura..."
"Since your body has mutated, you should be aware that you are not a human being." Ling said.
Chang Sheng couldn't help biting his lower lip tightly, and after a long silence, he asked with difficulty: "Then what am I?"
Ling spread out his palm, and after the brilliance passed, a pearl rested quietly in his palm: "The answer is in front of your eyes, do you dare to touch it?"
Jiang Zheng and Baozi looked at Chang Sheng worriedly, and sat blindly aside, silently wiping the short bow in their hands.
There are some things that they can't help, they can only let Chang Sheng face it by himself.
Chang Sheng's outstretched hand approached but subconsciously withdrew it.
Everything she doubted was right in front of her eyes, but would she dare to touch it?Sometimes, if you don't reveal a lot of truth, you may be able to live in peace for a long time, but once you reveal it, the illusion will swallow up the so-called truth in your heart and make the world cruel.
She was timid. She had died once, and she was calm in the face of life and death, but at this moment, she dared not touch the answer she had always wanted to seek.
Suddenly, a thin hand patted her on the shoulder, she turned her head, Jiang Zheng raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter what, I will face it with you."
Like a spring breeze, blowing into the softest corner of my heart.
Chang Sheng secretly made up his mind and reached out to take the pearl.
In the next second, the pearls touched by the fingertips turned into shattered light in an instant, fluttering leisurely, and finally fell into the center of Chang Sheng's eyebrows.
***
Hilda Dana's life is a legend that no one knows, and it was only when her life was almost at the end that it was really written into the book, and in the eyes of the world, it was just a queen who died young in the history of Anota .
In Hilda's life, there was no one closest to her, or in other words, her closest people never really understood her.
In Hilda's impression, her mother is a gentle and beautiful woman, no matter what difficulties she encounters, she always smiles and never fights or grabs for anything. Be willing to let go of your own things, learn to let go of things that are not suitable for you, obsession is bitter, and it is poisonous to the bone."
Yes, obsession is a poison to the bone. Hilda has always had an obsession in her heart, which makes her mother feel very worried.
She endured quietly for a long time, living like a human being, and moved around with her mother all the way, once every ten years, just to prevent people from discovering the secret of their immortality.
Finally, she accompanied her aging mother through the final journey, and with the obsession buried deep in her heart for thousands of years, she embarked on the road of no return that her mother least wanted to see her go.
"Master Zhijiali, I will destroy the four seals and help you revive the dragon clan!"
As long as Hilda can remember, she has never forgotten her identity for a moment.
She is a dragon, a descendant left behind by the demon god Zhijiali in the world—a white dragon.
Back then, the dragon slayer drove all the dragons to extinction. Chi and the pregnant Wen were separated after a difficult battle. The severely injured Wen gave birth to a daughter after escaping from the pursuit. She sealed the dragon's breath with her remaining power and transformed into a human. , took him east to hide in Tibet for hundreds of years, his health deteriorated day by day, although he wanted to go to find Chi who fled to the Demon Island, but he couldn't hold on and died of exhaustion.
Before Wen died, she didn't mention the matter of going to Chi again. Hilda's grandmother, Wen's daughter, spent her whole life in the human territory until Chi was besieged and killed, until she died.
Hilda still couldn't understand why grandma and mother were like this. They were so gentle, but why they could watch so heartlessly that their only relatives in the world were crushed and sealed away, but remained indifferent?
She had vowed to save Chi, the clansman who should be called a great-grandfather.
So she followed the legend and began to search for the secret of the seal, and traveled to too many places year after year.
In her life, she had met countless people by chance and talked freely, and she had also had acquaintances with countless people and talked nonsense.
After trekking through so many mountains and rivers and seeing so many people of all kinds, she finally found out the real news about the seal, but gradually began to doubt whether what she did was correct.
She is a dragon, but she grew up with humans.
The ancestors of human beings did destroy the Dragon Clan, but 3000 years have passed, the vicissitudes have changed, and the original enemies have long since ceased to exist.
Chi Jiali has accumulated more than 3000 years of resentment towards this world, and she will definitely get it back with interest on the day of resurrection. When the time comes, people will be devastated. Is this really what she wants to see?
Hilda went to Wodo with this daze.
It is said that the quicksand priest of the Chiba family has lived for more than 2000 years and is a wise man who sees through everything.
She didn't dare to offend, she just patiently waited for the interview, after a long time, she also developed some feelings with the elves.
Finally, Qianye Liusha asked the spirit girl to invite her to the tree of life.
With doubts in her heart, she stood so close to the bones of her relatives for the first time, looked at the elf priest, and said calmly: "If I want to take the keel, what should you do?"
Qianye Liusha is also indifferent: "I will kill you."
"You have that ability?"
"Hilda, you dragons are not omnipotent." Qianye Liusha turned to look at Hilda, and said with a smile: "If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't, someone will do it for me. And you, alone and helpless, because the world eliminated you."
Hilda stared blankly at Qianye Liusha, and saw her pass a glass of wine as if nothing happened, and said, "Don't you understand? There is no need for dragons in this world."
"..."
"There is a power in you that everyone yearns for. I don't know where it comes from, but I can feel its existence. If you don't believe it, you can go to the future and look carefully with your eyes, see Find out if the world really needs a black dragon."
Hilda couldn't help being startled, Qianye Liusha was right, there was a strange power in her body, it didn't know where it came from, but it could travel through time and space.
She was playful when she was young, and she caused irreparable harm to others because she went back to yesterday and changed some small things, so she didn't dare to use this kind of power since then. Now, she clenched her teeth and relied on her own powerful power Walking towards the future step by step, she finally saw the day when the black dragon was resurrected, accompanied by the bloody storm that she had expected, but never wanted to think about.
The last black dragon in the world, the demon god Chigari, after sleeping for more than 3000 years, the first thing he did when he woke up was to let his hatred burn to the entire El and the continent.
He cruelly brought mountains of corpses and seas of blood to this world.
At that moment, Hilda really understood that perhaps the dragon was no longer needed.
If the El and the strongest race in the past were not abandoned by the world, the world would be destroyed.
Hilda lived under the tree of life in a trance for a few days, and Qianye Liusha would invite her to sit with her, and then casually chatted about some big and small things that happened in Waldo over the past 2000 years.
The happy ones, the unhappy ones, and the brutal blood sacrifice the black dragon had made on Voldo.
Hilda remembered that Qianye Liusha's tone was very light, as if what she said was something that had nothing to do with her.But the stories in those words all further disintegrated her already shaken belief.
Voldo used to be such a beautiful, kind and beautiful race living here without restraint, but the black dragon changed them, made them vigilant, became no longer friendly to the outside world, and even stained with the blood of their own people...
What would happen to Wodo if the black dragon was brought back to life?What about the whole of El and the continent?
She couldn't help sighing, this world really doesn't need a dragon anymore, it can no longer bear such a powerful force.
On the day of leaving Wodo, Hilda told Qianye Liusha the method her mother left behind to seal the power of the dragon clan. When she waved goodbye, she couldn't help asking: "You have guarded this tree for too long, why don't you If you change someone else, you should also rest."
Qianye Liusha said thank you: "I have lived for so long, there is nothing I can't ignore, but I can't let go of this obsession to guard Wo Duo."
"My mother said that obsession is suffering, and it is a poison that penetrates to the bone."
Qianye Liusha was noncommittal, just smiled and said: "If you really want to understand, go and help those who need help more."
Hilda nodded and turned to leave.
……
The scene changed, and Hilda came to Wagron. She saw a giant living in dire straits. She wrote the method of sealing the dragon's breath into a simple and easy-to-understand formation, handed it over to the leader, and then dived into the bottom of the sea to help strengthen the underworld. sealed.
Before leaving, looking at the lonely and hopeless Hai Mingluo, she deeply felt the cruelty of the black dragon again.
She thought of countless ways in her mind, trying to completely destroy the black dragon's bones, but all of them were in vain.
So she went to Eggert, found the hell furnace where the dwarves sealed the keel, left the sealing method again, and went to Ainota.
Everything has changed during this journey.
Years of wars and constant changes of dynasties made humans forget everything about the keel seal, and she was even more deeply moved by humans and became pregnant with his flesh and blood.
In order to be with him, Hilda did not hesitate to endure great pain, forcefully activated the spell, and sealed the dragon's breath of the fetus in her belly early, but doing so also caused her vitality to be severely injured, leaving the bottom of the Cloud Tower covered in dust The black dragon found an opportunity to take advantage of.
The black dragon wanted to kill her, this traitor of the same clan, but she, being on guard every day, was still pregnant with her second child after all, and forced to activate the seal again. When her body was weakest, the black dragon found an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Just before her death, Hilda dragged her tired body and hid in the space-time tunnel. This time, she found that she could no longer go to the future, because her life had passed away the moment she gave birth to Mingluo.
She told herself that changing the past can change the future, so she walked step by step towards the past, trying to change everything that happened along the way that could kill her.
But after countless futile attempts, Hilda finally found that her death was irreversible.
Because she fell in love with Di Lanse, maybe anyone in this world can fall in love with a dragon, but a powerful king can't.She had to hide her secret deeply so that she could be with him for the rest of her life, and the price of forcing the seal to cover up her children's dragon's breath again and again would be a great loss of vitality, and she would no longer be able to compete with the black dragon.
This is the destiny that cannot be changed.If you want to change forcibly, you can only do it again, bypassing the loved one far away, until death.
In this way, her children will cease to exist.
……
Hilda was lost in the tunnel of time and space. She looked at the short few years of happiness with De Lancer in her thousands of years of life. Scene after scene, it seemed like it was just yesterday.
Finally, she made a decision.
She went back to the day when she bid farewell to Qianye Liusha more than 200 years ago, and said the last sentence before leaving: "If a child named Changsheng comes to you in the future, please tell her, I went Wagron."
Qianye Liusha looked at her indifferently, as indifferent as she remembered, as if she didn't really exist in the world.
Hilda didn't say much anymore, she just rushed towards Wagron, engraved everything she had experienced in her life into a pearl with spells, helped the giant as before, and handed it over to the giant in the depths of the sea. protector.
"Even if this seal is strengthened, it won't last long. In the future, my descendants may come here and give this to her."
……
After completing the entrustment, she walked through the tunnel of time and space for the last time, listening to all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys she saw along the way, in a trance, she seemed to see a helpless figure floating in the long time and space, fearing that she had no destination The wandering soul completely lost himself in countless time and space.
At that moment, that soul was so close to her, so close that a hand could pull it back on track.
Hilda hesitated for a moment, reached out to help her, thought for a long time, and transferred all the power from the unknown source into her body, and said softly: "If it wasn't for me, you would be lost in countless time and space forever. I saved you, you should repay me, I will send you to a place, you go to help my child..."
She said, with a wave of her hand, she sent the wandering soul to the not-too-distant future, while she walked towards her doomed death very calmly.
At the end of the picture, Hilda died of dystocia, and everything fell into darkness.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of Chang Sheng's eyes, and suddenly, she heard a strange voice ringing in her ears.
she says:
Changsheng, Mingluo, my children, when you come here to seal, I must have already passed away.
Although I can't bear it, since you have come here, it must mean that the black dragon has seriously touched the safety of Anota, and even the entire El and the mainland.
I have to tell you a cruel fact, we are the descendants of dragons, our people were driven to extinction by dragon slayers, but at the same time, the hands of our ancestors were also stained with the blood of people of all races.
Such an identity once made me extremely proud, and it did cause me a lot of pain in the end, but no matter what, I hope you can face it bravely, because I believe that you are braver than me.
I once thought about changing the world, but I found that my own power is limited after all, and there are too many things I can't let go of, and I am reluctant to let go.There are gains and losses in everything. In many cases, the harder you try to keep something, the easier it is to lose it.So I chose to give up, but I don't call it cowardly, because I know that after I give up struggling, I will face the most unwilling thing in my life.
That is death, parting, not being able to fulfill your motherly responsibilities to you, not even being able to protect everything I want to protect anymore.But I have been a dragon for thousands of years, and I can die as a human being in the end. This life is considered regretless.
I have set a seal on you, if you don't unseal, there will be no other abnormalities except that your lifespan is longer than ordinary humans.
If your body has mutated, it must be the work of the black dragon. His blood is flowing on your body, and he is calling you.
The black dragon is cruel and ruthless, so don't listen to his lies easily and use him for his own use.You and Mingluo are both Ainota's people in life and death. Whenever you grow up, you must always remember who you grew up with and what you should protect.
We are both descendants of dragons, and no one knows the weaknesses of dragons better than us. Some things are unclear, but if you want, you can use the method I stay in to unseal yourself. The future of El and the mainland, on my behalf Keep on guarding.
If you don't want to, it's your freedom, I just hope that the black dragon will be resurrected in the future, so that your brother and sister can stick to their pride in being human in this life, and fight to the death against it.
***
Chang Sheng tightly clenched his fists, and sat beside the altar in a daze, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red, but he didn't choke up.
She is a dragon, a dragon that the world fears and hates.
She has a life longer than human beings, and she has to wander around like Hilda once, just to hide the secret hidden under her ageless face.
Perhaps, she will be like Qianye Liusha, watching her loved ones grow old, sick and die, and then learn to be indifferent.
Everything that was once far away seemed to be close to her at this moment, but those little dreams that belonged to the short life that were once within reach completely abandoned her at this moment.
She couldn't even tell whether that carefree feeling in the past ten years, when she knew nothing about her life experience, was Hilda's last kindness to her before she left, or God's last kindness to her before the cruel truth came. .
For a moment, she even felt that the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, maybe it was nothing more than that.
What pain can be compared to that everything you firmly believe is a lie, and everything you are familiar with is an illusion?
Jiang Zheng had never seen Chang Sheng cry so subduedly. Although she didn't know what she saw, her heart couldn't stop aching along with her emotions.
"Changsheng..."
"Azheng, she said... She once wanted to change the world, but realized that her own power is limited after all, and there are too many things she can't let go of, and she is reluctant to let go, pushing herself forward all the way, completely involuntary."
Jiang Zheng couldn't help being taken aback, and then shook his head again and again: "There is a lovely saying over there that tells me that my life is up to me, and there are similar sayings in many middle school novels... Changsheng, everyone has a body in their life. Involuntary things, but this is not a reason to give up and move forward."
Chang Sheng stared at Jiang Zheng with some hesitation, and after a long time, he said blindly, "It's so sad, it's probably not good news. If that's the case, I'm afraid there is no way out."
Baozi nodded and said, "There is no retreat, we can only move forward. This is what we said before."
"Changsheng, I don't know what you saw, but I hope you cheer up and think about your father and brother who are waiting for you to go back in Ainota, think about your brother, he is still waiting for you to give him a birthday present, I really thought it was a Can Feng Changxin be perfunctory with some cold weapons in between? And, and me, I..." Jiang Zheng said, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hesitantly added a word: "Men."
"If you're really uncomfortable, just cry out loud! If you want to tell us those messy little secrets, just tell us, and if you don't want to, then cry aloud, let it out..."
After a moment of silence, Changsheng slowly retracted into Jiang Zheng's embrace, at first his body trembled slightly, and then gradually turned from sobbing softly to howling loudly.
Jiang Zheng patted her on the shoulder lightly like a child, and chattered about people or things she had never heard of before, full of great truths, like an old woman who loves random thoughts.
Chang Sheng's thoughts could not help drifting to the distance.
The first meeting seemed like yesterday.
It was her 19th birthday. Jiang Zheng was dressed in clothes that did not belong to Ainota. She walked carefully through the crowd, walked to her side with a smile, and leaned slightly towards her.
——I saw a beautiful and special girl, I couldn't control my heart, and wanted to get acquainted with her.
—I don’t know if I have the honor to know her name?
But at that time, she didn't know that meeting that strange woman was the greatest luck in her life.
……
Empress, no matter how cruel the reality is, thank you for bringing her to me.
***
Ling has been sitting silently by the side, waiting for Chang Sheng's mood to return to normal.
The little girl whose face was full of doubts and worries when she first came here now looks resolute.
At the beginning, it was Hilda who saved the entire Wagron, and Hilda asked her to wait for this child, so she also believed in this child.
Chang Sheng succinctly stated the purpose of this visit, but she couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"You want to take the keel?"
"We must take it away. Wodo's tree of life is about to wither, and if the four seals are broken again, it will definitely affect the whole body."
"But if you take it away like this, won't you..."
"We are sure enough to suppress the power in the keel in a short period of time, and when the keel is collected, we will have our own method to make him completely disappear in this world!" Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Please believe me, no one will be more powerful than me." I hope the black dragon dies even more."
The tragic death of a close relative, the betrayal of her elder brother, and her own death due to injustice, these futures that remain in her memory make her shudder every day.
Now, I know better
