【Sremiku】The Gate of Light

Sorey was dreaming when Micurio woke him from his bed, and he had a nightmare about being chased by a pack of wolves.In the dream, he was pressed to the ground by a pack of wolves, his teeth pressed against his throat, and the stench of the beast was sprayed on his face. He said that the dark eyes of the wolves were like gems embedded in ebony.He opened his eyes and found that he was actually in a cold sweat from fright.

Micurio frowned and patted his shoulder, wiping the sweat off his face, and Sorey noticed that he had kicked the entire blanket under the bed. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"Ah? Well, nothing, nothing!" He jumped up from the bed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

Micurio frowned, worried. "You were talking in your sleep just now."

Shi Lei opened his eyes wide and pinched his leg hard. "What did I say?" His voice trembled.

Micurio's hair was a little disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard. "You said that you said a lot, but you couldn't understand anything. What did you dream about? You have been yelling all day long."

Seeing the sky dotted with stars through the curtain, Solei said hesitantly, "I really don't remember, who can remember the pictures in dreams in detail, in fact, I still have some impressions, but when I opened my eyes, I forgot all of them." It’s all gone. But it’s definitely not a good dream, maybe it’s a dream about having no money to eat or something.”

Micurio stared at Sorey's panicked face covered with cold sweat, and said in silence for a while, "Then let me know if there is something else, I'll go to the street first to see if there is any place to eat."

At that time, Shi Lei was still very sorry. When he got up from the bed and wanted to catch up to the mirror, he stopped after seeing his haggard and pale face, and decided to wait for Micurio in the room temporarily.For a moment just now, he felt that there was some information coming out of his mind. Subconsciously, he felt that it should be very important. He picked up clear water and applied it to his hot face. Looking at the swaying water, his reflection was shattered.He knocked hard on his temple twice, but the memory came to his eyes, and he finally left the stage sadly.The sweet fragrance of roses floated in the darkness, and the smell made Shi Lei almost suffocate. After retching, he heard his stomach growl twice.

Patting his cheeks to calm himself, Sorey tried hard to calm himself down. "You can't fight if you're hungry, so let's wait until Micurio comes back and have a full meal!" Sorey splashed water on his cheeks, and shook his head to shake off the water droplets stuck to the ends of his hair.

Micurio, who was strolling on the street, would occasionally be saluted by people dressed as knights, instead of casually waving his hands, but a serious military salute, pretending to be invisible, he felt a little sorry for Micurio, so he had to say hello to them too.Sorey's role as a container for Maotras bridged the gap between the Celestials and humans, and the two races now had more points of intersection than he had originally envisioned.After a hundred years of selection and evolution, not only people with higher spiritual abilities emerge in endlessly on the continent, but there are also many people who are willing to use this kind of power to fight. The country even funded the formation of knights with a high degree of freedom for those with sufficient abilities.Although so far there are still a few people who do not believe in the existence of the demons of the Celestial Clan, saying that the government is just wasting taxpayers' money, but it is an undoubted fact that the number of injuries and pollution has been decreasing with the passage of time.In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, Micurio began to hide from the knights patrolling the streets like a deserter. It is actually quite difficult for Nuo Dadi to hide a few people. Fortunately, the city center is very lively even at night in summer. Make sure there are still After opening the tavern, Micurio decided to go back to Sorey.

"Run, someone has been killed!"

When passing by the square, there was a sudden commotion among the surging crowd. A large number of civilians shouted and ran in different directions to disperse. Micurio noticed a lot of filth in the noisy center, and he subconsciously covered his nose.After avoiding the panicked crowd, Micurio saw a blood-stained prisoner, or by magic, he was holding a black dagger in his hand, and the stabbed body was lying motionless at his feet, dripping The blood that spewed out stained the white stone bricks of the square red.After a while, the sound of metal colliding with the ground came, and several knights raised their spears to surround the demon.

"There is a lot of filth, everyone, be careful not to underestimate the enemy!" The burliest male knight in the team swung his spear and stabbed at Pingmo, and the others followed closely behind, their blades raining down like raindrops.Micurio, who was watching the battle, had no intention of intervening. A demon of this level is no match for the Knights. Even if he doesn't make a move, he should be able to win without any suspense.

The earth-shattering wailing from Sorey's stomach greeted Micurio who came home late. "It's so slow, if I don't come back, I'm going to starve to death!" He squatted at the corner of the bed with sad eyes, complaining to Micurio who had just entered the door.

"Sorry, I ran into something on the street just now. There are many places nearby where you can have supper. Do you want to go?"

Sorey jumped out of bed without saying a word, grabbed Micurio and melted into the night town.The two of them ran fast in the night and illuminated by street lights. The stone road was two turns away, and they climbed over the fence in order to take a shortcut.Shi Lei saw a closed candy store on the side of the road. When he passed by, the proprietress was moving glass jars of colorful candies into the house. He drooled and muttered in a low voice that he wanted to buy something to eat tomorrow. Micurio heard It's just funny in my ears.In the alley, the two managed to find a restaurant that was still open. Although it was late at night, there were not many customers, which showed that the popularity was still very strong. After saying hello to the proprietress, Shi Lei took Micurio to look for it. sit in a corner seat.

The tavern was noisy, and only occasionally could a clear conversation be heard. "I heard that the group of knights were killed just now?"

"Yeah, what I saw with my own eyes, didn't they claim to be able to defeat the demon? In the end, they lost a lot and let the prisoner run away!"

"It turned out to be true. It seems that next time I really need to greet the tax collector!"

After passing the dining table and accidentally overhearing someone else's conversation, Micurio's expression changed.He held the cutlery restlessly, and rested his chin with the other hand, recalling that when he saw the scene with his own eyes and talked with others, his eyelashes drooped together.In his eyes, those knights are definitely not weak, and their combat power should be more than enough to deal with that level of magic. Could there be a third party involved?Simon's face flashed before Micurio's eyes, but he quickly dismissed the idea.A scorching gaze pulled him out of his thoughts, and he raised his head to meet Sorey's eyes, his eyes were full of worry.

"Srey, do you still remember what happened the night before you fell asleep?" He paused, and continued: "You said that you wanted to live in the earth with Maotras by becoming a container for him, so that Let more people on the mainland be aware of the existence of the Celestial Clan, and let them gain the ability to fight against demons. In this way, through years of contact, there may be more people who adapt and understand the existence of the Celestial Clan."

"Yes, these people with high spiritual ability repel the demons and purify part of the filth, and finally Maotras and I will completely purify the weakened demons through the earth, right?"

"Yes, it was actually very successful, rather than expected. After you fell into a deep sleep, there were indeed many people with excellent spiritual abilities. Although they could not completely purify the filth, it is no longer difficult to defeat the demon like Alisha. And from the current point of view, although you have awakened, your adaptability has not disappeared, which means that the adaptability of spiritual abilities can be passed on through blood."

Sorey tilted his head: "That means many people can see Mikulio now?"

"It's not very many. The human beings who can see the appearance of the Celestial Clan account for about one-tenth of the population of the entire continent, but it is already many times better than the first time. Otherwise, how can I take you to live alone?" Into the hotel?"

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you suddenly frowning?"

"But just now..."

Before finishing speaking, Sorey raised his hand and rubbed between Micurio's brows. "If you always frown, you will grow wrinkles and become an old man. This dish is delicious. Would you like to try it?"

After swallowing the food that Sorey fed to his mouth, Micurio thought about it and couldn't understand why the small team of the professional knight order was defeated by such a low-level demon?However, in order not to worry Shi Lei, he decided to attribute the cause of the incident to the fact that the knights who were patrolling the streets were lazy and drank some wine at the night market, which ended up being a fiasco.

"Is it delicious?"

"A little spicy."

As soon as he swallowed it in his mouth, Sorey stuffed another full spoonful, and while stuffing it into Micurio's mouth, he still complained that he ate too little.

Before the early morning mist dissipated, Sorey hurriedly dragged Micurio out of the quilt, washed his face quickly and kept urging Micurio who was combing his hair.Micurio closed his eyes and unhurriedly tied his hair into a neat ponytail, completely ignoring Sorey who was scurrying around beside him.His shoulders were suddenly grabbed by someone, and the next second his body began to shake violently, causing the braids he had just done to fall loose on his shoulders.Micurio, who couldn't hold back any longer, threw his head back desperately, hitting Sorey's forehead with the back of his head, and he instantly became quiet.

"What's the rush! The library isn't even open now, so what's the use of going there!" He scolded angrily.

"It's getting late, you see the sun has risen."

Covering his wounded forehead with tears in his eyes, Sorey pouted and pointed to the sun born outside the window and the radiant horizon. Even though the window was open, he couldn't feel the hustle and bustle of the commercial street at all. "People now call this early morning, and the museum doesn't open until before noon." Micurio sighed and re-braided his hair, and the bored Sorey leaned forward and lay on his shoulder.With the tip of his nose stuck into his thick, soft braids, Sorey took a deep breath.

"Didn't it say that the longer the hair, the more secrets? How many little secrets have Micurio accumulated over the years that I don't know?"

"Well, there are indeed many, such as being confessed by others."

"what!"

"I lied to you."

Sorey's arms were wrapped around Micurio's neck, he realized that he had made a mistake, and patted Sorey's wrist. "It's really a lie to you, why can't you make jokes when you wake up?"

"But Micurio!" Solei raised his head abruptly, his eyes were very serious: "Your handsome appearance and gentle personality, how can you not be liked by others!"

"You're the only one who thinks that way..." After shaking off Sorey's hand, he finished talking about the secret, and Micurio turned his face away to cover his flushed cheeks.

The relaxing time passed quickly, and after a while, the golden-red sun rose to the halfway up the mountain, and the bright red light shone into the narrow single-person dormitory.Originally, when Micurio came to rest with the fainted Sorey on his back, the boss wanted to arrange a spacious double room for them. After a little consideration, Micurio rejected the proposal, claiming that he was short of money. "How can I let Master Tianzu worry about this stupid thing! It's okay, I will pay for the rent!" The boss was straightforward, and was about to take them upstairs with the key, but Micurio hurriedly waved his hands to pull him back.At his insistence, the boss gave them the key to the single room. Before leaving, Micurio heard the boss said that he was uncomfortable, so he asked him to change the room at any time.But Micurio never felt that the single room was crowded. For him and Sorey, this space was enough to hold their laughter, but it would not make them feel lonely because of the empty space.

The sound of salutes came from the sky, and gorgeously dressed girls occasionally walked by on the street, their skirts were covered with lace and ribbons, just like a group of camellias blooming while walking.He was lying on the window sill overlooking the street, and a little girl waved in his direction. She tied a length of ribbon on the side of her short hair, which was popular nowadays, and she looked very cute.Micurio was about to raise his hand, but the little girl lowered her head shyly, leaving the bow behind her in his sight.

"It looks like what you said, and many people can see the Celestial Clan." Chewing the bread he brought back the day before yesterday, Sorey stood behind Mikurio and looked out together.

"Don't talk while eating, the crumbs are in my hair."

After a long period of time, only the sound of chewing and street music reverberated in Micurio's ears, and only then did he remember that today was the beginning of the Holy Sword Festival.In front of his eyes, he and Sorey, who came to Red Lake for the first time, met Lila on the same day, the same place, and the same festival, and embarked on a lifelong adventure.

"Do you want to go out for a walk? Today is the Holy Sword Festival." The rough sound of food passing through his throat was regarded as a response, and Sorey would pat his stomach and stuff half of the bread with thicker butter into Micurio's hands.Micurio felt that it had been centuries since he had eaten this kind of sugary full-fat butter last time. The delicate and dense sweetness passed through his throat, soothing his almost degraded taste, like a gentle girl soothing An old man who is wearing mulberry elm.He suddenly felt a rumbling sound from his stomach, and after licking the residual taste on his lips, he quietly lowered his head.

"Is there any more..." The voice was as soft as a mosquito, and he felt that he had uttered the most stupid sentence of this century.

Shi Lei pinched the reddish cheeks of his childhood sweetheart, and his words were full of joy. "Wait to buy it later!"

After walking out of the dormitory, the two realized that the street was already crowded with people. If they didn't pay attention, the crowd would squeeze past them. Five Fingers are proud to accompany each other in the crowd.

"Holy Sword Festival, does it look like this?" So Lei had a big question mark painted on his face. There were colorful flags and various exaggerated decorations hanging on the roof of the shop. He saw a shop selling long swords in hand. He pulled Micurio up to look at the doll, and found that the doll looked a bit like himself.

Micurio shrugged his shoulders and explained: "It's not my fault that you don't know, since your story has spread across the land, the Holy Sword Festival has become a festival for you in a sense."

"Then I can become a star!"

The spirited Shi Lei held up a doll that looked like himself and greeted passers-by. When he met a child, he would squat down and hold the doll's arm in a serious manner and wave a sharp knife. Ray burst into tears on the spot because of his enthusiasm.After tossing and tossing for a long time, no one saw Shi Lei's intentions. He put the doll back to its original place in a bit of disappointment. The businessman let Shi Lei play with his goods for a long time, and finally didn't even raise his eyebrows, and he was obviously not ready to answer. he.Feeling quite uncomfortable, Sorey buried his face in Micurio's hair, muttering words that no one could understand like he was chanting a spell.

"You don't even think about how many years have passed. Even if you know your legend, no one will believe that you will reappear."

Shi Lei lowered his head, and the fiery emotions just now cooled down immediately. "But... I always feel a little lost..."

"It's not a good thing, so you won't be targeted by the church and won't get into unnecessary trouble, right?"

"En..." After hearing this, Sorey, who became a little bit more energetic, revealed one eye, secretly looked at Micurio's side face, and blew at the ends of his hair. "As a consolation, treat me to bread, I want the kind filled with butter!"

After hundreds of years, Micurio is still helpless to his childhood sweetheart's gluttony. "Okay, okay, but don't you want to go to the church first? The library is not far from there."

"Well, although I want to go, it looks like there are a lot of people. I don't know if Laila is still there."

"It's been gone for a long time. When I saw her last time, I saw a human teenager next to her. She also looks like a mother."

"Then let's go to the library first!" He pushed Micurio forward with difficulty against the crowd. "Has Micurio served as a companion to other mentors?"

Holding his chin in one hand, he thought for a while: "I've done it twice, and they are good boys who are well-mannered, rigorous and diligent."

"I'm really sorry for not being a good boy, Master Micurio." Sorey puffed up his mouth in dissatisfaction, and deliberately increased the strength of holding the muscles on both sides of Micurio's neck, grinning his teeth in pain.

When passing by the central square, there are float parades and circus performances, and there are leather, stables, fireworks and the smell of baking onion and ginger biscuits in the greenhouse.The clown stumbled onto the stage, and hundreds of children laughed with their parents.Sorey obviously had a great time playing, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it, and his big green eyes flicked around.With an idea, Micurio exchanged a few gold coins for a handful of marshmallows from the peddler squatting at the intersection, and stuffed all the marshmallows into Sorey's palm except for a few for himself.Before Shi Lei could stuff it into his mouth, there were two little boys standing beside him, with their fingers in their mouths poking around, looking at Shi Lei and the candy in his hand.He scratched his hair and passed the unwarmed fudge into two equal parts between them.

After the performance, there was a sporadic drizzle in the sky, and the fine drops of water dispelled the summer heat and the crowded crowd. So Lei pulled Micurio into the path leading to the library with quick wit.Just as he turned his head and wanted to tell Micurio a joke, his mouth was filled with fudge, and the sweetness of the fruit lingered in his mouth. Looking at Micurio's appearance, his smiling eyes were narrowed. .The narrow alley was filled with cheers and laughter, and Slay suddenly felt like an emperor.
