066 A Conversation Under the Moon

Bonfire feasts were held as usual after the war.

This time it is not to celebrate victory, but to celebrate being alive, to celebrate for all the living people and to see them off.

However, there were two people missing from this bonfire feast. One was from Village 4672 who was considered a sacrifice, and the other was from Village 2 who said he wanted to relax alone.

Today's bonfire dinner was a little more dull than usual, perhaps because it was to commemorate the companion who saved countless people. The villagers who were still alive here thought that Village 4672 would sooner or later take over the burden of Village 2, but they didn't expect that he would go first.

In the continued slump, someone first raised the bread and said "Cheers to 4672, Cheers to victory, Cheers to life", and everyone followed suit and shouted. Steve was watching from a distance, and he couldn't help laughing. As he laughed, he felt a little sad. Finally, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, crossed his arms with a lonely look, and leaned against the tree as if to be cool.

The more I looked out, the more melancholy I felt.

"As our hero, won't you go back and take a look?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, but Steve only felt panic. He turned around in a panic and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's scary when someone suddenly appears from the forest and talks in the middle of the night! And please don't say those nonsense things, okay? There has to be a limit to nonsense. When did I, Steve, become a hero? You're not referring to the monsters attacking the city during the day, are you? I'm just interested. What's more, I have a grudge against those monsters. The more miserable they are, the happier I am. It's just..."

He was saying some rubbish while trying to hide his guilt, but the moment he saw the person, he couldn't continue pretending.

He clearly had the courage to fight his way in and out of countless seas of monsters alone before, but now he doesn't even have the energy to say a word in defense. He can only stretch out his hands, point at people, and cover his face like he is trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.

"I knew a long time ago that 4672 is you. There's no need to hide it anymore. You can put your hands down now."

The person who came was Village 2. He slowly moved out from the shadows, and his tone was not as serious as usual, but rather slow and relaxed.

Hearing this, Steve put down his hands that were covering his face, but his eyebrows still twitched unconsciously and his eyes were still wandering around.

"Is my disguise really that bad? I always thought I was doing a good job. Oh, could it be that you all saw through it? Damn, don't tell me it's really like that. I feel so embarrassed."

Village 2 sighed and said, "That's not the case. Don't you think about it? You changed thirteen teams in total, and six of them were wiped out except for you."

"Wait, aren't there still seven teams? This just means I'm lucky!"

Steve's tone suddenly became higher, and he argued stubbornly and convincingly.

Village 2 looked at the man speechlessly, but when he thought about the time they had been together and the unruly temperament that the other person could not hide no matter how hard he tried, he just found it a little funny.

"Yes, all the survivors in the remaining seven teams were rescued by you one by one."

"...Can't I just be strong?" Steve muttered softly, meeting the man's gaze. But after a moment, he was impressed by the man's unwavering expression. He lowered his head and lowered his voice. "Okay, okay, I get it."

At this point, Steve suddenly realized something was amiss. "That's not right. Why did you come to see me? You can't be here just to expose me. I'm dead, my body is cold, right? Not even ashes left. Let the dead rest in peace!"

At the end of his speech, he suddenly got stuck, was stunned for a moment, looked at the people, and his voice became weaker. You could hear a lot of embarrassment in it, which was really rare and precious.

"Besides, don't you hate me?"

"You hated me before, right?" Village 2 suddenly heard the other party ask this. He looked up at the moon leisurely, and it was hard to tell whether his words were full of nostalgia or something else.

Steve gave a wry smile, but before he could finish his words, someone interrupted him.

"I don't hate you anymore now, otherwise I wouldn't have come to talk to you face to face, right?"

Village 2 found it increasingly funny as he watched the other person's expression change from lost to upright. After all, it was difficult for a villager to have such vivid and changeable expressions on his face. But he always had to finish what he said, even if it was a little hurtful.

"Actually, I can probably understand why most people hate you so much. It's because they still have memories of the past, memories of when you weren't really human anymore."

He looked at the somewhat cold moonlight, picked up a long upright tree trunk, sat on it with his legs together and looked very solemn, with his hands crossed and placed on his legs.

"Actually, I should have a wife and a child, though I don't know if that counts. Even if we're still alive, we'll probably just be close companions."

After hearing this, Steve didn't want to listen anymore. He probably figured out something. He forced himself to stand up straight, look at the person straight, and forced himself not to run away.

"It seems you've already guessed it, right? You took a diamond sword and killed my wife, who I had no feelings for. After all, at that time, I knew nothing except following the rules. Then the Iron Golems surrounded you and knocked you away. You seemed to be enraged by the Iron Golems and stabbed my nominal son to death. I was the only one you couldn't find because I was stuck in the house. You killed the Iron Golem, took a few pieces of iron and a flower, and left."

Just these few short words made Steve almost run away. He was almost unable to stand, and his guilt was revealed on his face. He wanted to say sorry, but he felt that he was not qualified. He was usually eloquent, but at this moment he couldn't say a word.

But Village 2 had a calm expression and a calm tone, as if he was just telling a story, a story that had nothing to do with him, even though he was the protagonist of this story. He could probably guess something by looking at people's reactions. But as he said before, he really didn't hate him now. The remaining hatred was just regret for his companion, nothing more.

"Don't be so nervous. I told you, I don't hate you, and you don't need to feel guilty. Back then, we weren't even alive, just a pile of dead things. There's nothing wrong with clearing out a pile of dead things. At least, after we came back to life, you never swung your knife at any of us again, and you even saved a lot of people."

"To us back then, you were a demon. But back then, we couldn't even be called alive, let alone human. How could we have human rights if we weren't even human? Now we're alive, and you saved us. It's that simple. Of course, I've said all this today just to convey one thing. I'll continue to lead this team around here. If you need anything, you can come find us. We welcome you anytime, Steve. You're my friend, my companion."

067 Problem Solving

The green path, which should have been lush and leafy, was soaked in green acid, causing the plants to grow wildly and the mind to stagnate.

This was another disaster brought about by the plague. The White Queen was eventually affected by the plague and frantically dug her roots deeper and deeper until the acid seeped out irreversibly. She also grew wildly under the immersion of acid, which prompted her to wake up. She painfully cut off all the roots and moved to the Queen's Garden, sealing herself up layer by layer for fear of causing any more trouble.

It was also during that transfer that an irreparable tragedy occurred. The traitor lord led his daughter to attack the White Queen's residence. Delia died in battle to protect the White Queen, and the traitor's daughter also died.

This tragedy also resulted in the loss of two outstanding warriors. In addition to Delya, who was confirmed dead, there was also Zemor, who was heartbroken by the death of the traitor lord's daughter - the mastermind of sending flowers, now known as the Gray Mourner.

They were once lovers who truly loved each other, but now they are separated by the Yin and Yang, and even visiting them makes people heartbroken.

However, the consequences of this disaster were far more than that. In order to curb the source of the acid and prevent the acid water from continuing to rise, Isma resolutely took root in the sewer, and her dense branches tightly wrapped around the place. At the same time, she could no longer move, and her thinking stagnated.

Only relying on the tiny instinct of existence to maintain life.

The Mushroom King, a member of the originally friendly mushroom clan, was also corroded by the acid in this disaster, causing his body to grow wildly, until his fat body was forced into the narrow space and could no longer expand, and his mind also fell into an endless sleep.

I don’t know when I woke up.

But Isma's sacrifice could only barely curb the endless flow of acid water. Orgrim had no choice but to pump the overflowing water into the lake of Uin through water pumps.

The god Wuen, who controls the earth and fertility, was asked to slowly evolve the acid, but the acid was too overbearing. Even though Wuen did not fall into decadence like the Five Knights and the Mushroom King, he inevitably fell into a slow sleep.

After solving the problem of the void, the issue of solving the acid was put on the agenda. These were things that Bumblebee had very seriously and completely discussed with the Knight. Although the Knight probably heard all these things in the depths of the void, if he asked him, he would probably only get that this memory was thrown into the deepest part of the void, and he would never be able to find the answer?

That would be fine, but in the end it will look at you with innocent eyes, as if you were the one who made the mistake.

After spending a long time with ghosts, Bumblebee understood that it was difficult for them to listen to such important things, but she was still very annoyed by their lazy and dozing posture.

Then the Knight was thrown into the acid by the furious Bumblebee. Anyway, it would be fine for the Knight to swim or take a bath in it, so he took this opportunity to let the bug calm down.

As soon as he pushed the little knight into the water, Chunchun bent down, grabbed the little knight's sides and pulled him out again. After that, he did not forget to pat his cloak twice, and then stood upright behind the man diligently.

Bumblebee also knew that Pure was her nominal brother, though few in Hallownest knew of their connection.

She could understand why the other person was like this. Perhaps it was because he blamed himself and was unwilling to regain any feelings.

After all, it was because of the other party's strong desire to save the kingdom that everything failed, the seal was broken, and the kingdom fell into decline.

So now I just treat it as a useful tool, concentrate on listening to people and think about nothing else, but now I don’t need tools anymore.

"Forget it. I think it's harder than climbing to the sky to let you two come up with a more reliable plan. You guys should think about it slowly now. I'll go back and find the teacher to take some advice."

Bumblebee sighed, turned around and walked away, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. If you don't get the hang of some things, you may not understand how difficult they are. She had never thought that governing a country would be so troublesome, even though it was already so dilapidated.

The little knight looked at Bumblebee's gradually receding back, and just as he was about to raise his head to look at Chunchun blankly, Chunchun lifted him up from the ground and made eye contact with him. After the two of them stared at each other for a while, the little knight moved slightly and easily broke free from the man's hands.

The little knight squatted down, staring at the emerald green acid water with some worry, imitating the movements of those people, holding up his chin with his small limbs, and looking carefully and repeatedly. Then he was not paying attention and became dizzy, and after struggling hard, he fell down again.

The young knight raised his hand to stop Chunchun from picking it up again. He turned from left to right and touched the mask that was integrated with the body. After thinking for a moment, he let himself go and threw Isma's tears, which allowed it to swim freely in the acid water, into Chunchun's hands.

It immediately immersed itself completely, and a continuous and dense sound like boiling was heard, but now as the God of the Void, it was not affected at all.

It quietly extended a little tendril in the void, rolled up some sour water to taste it, and after a while, its entire taste buds were filled with the taste of a fermented mixture of rag and stinky tofu, which was not a bit unpalatable. The mask of disaster once again cracked, and its entire body floated weakly on the water as if it had been hollowed out. It was so scared that it reached out to grab it without any care.

You see, when a crisis really comes, emotions will inevitably emerge. Even if you don't receive any instructions, and it goes against your original intentions and plans, and you know that the other party will not really be in danger, you will still subconsciously rescue and worry.

But soon, something seemed to be restless, and strong emotions were brewing in the chest, but they did not come from itself. The emotion that was about to burst out came from the little knight, and it was just receiving the resonance of the void.

The fragile shell shattered into two pieces in an instant and was carefully received by the little knight into the void. The slow repairer, its dark body expanded and squeezed the place, almost squeezing together with Purity.

Then the level of the acid water began to drop rapidly, but after a while the water level here had reached the bottom. However, it was not enough, and the green vortex-shaped water column rolled in continuously from a distance without stopping for a moment.

The people who were discussing something elsewhere looked at the change in confusion. Bumblebee was stunned by the falling water level, but he reacted after a moment.

He hurried towards the little knight.

068 Confiscated snacks

When I came over, I saw the little knight lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. Green liquid slowly overflowed from his eye sockets, and was soon covered by a black substance. He was kneeling on one knee, with his head down and silent.

If Bumblebee hadn't known that once the Knight died, the vast void within his body would riot and swallow the entire kingdom, this scene would have looked like a murder scene, with a silent mourner standing nearby.

Bumblebee walked silently to the human's side and was about to ask the ghost, "Did you do this?" But then he felt it was unnecessary. After all, all the clues pointed to the human. He just crossed his arms and waited for the ghost's explanation.

The little knight heard the noise as soon as someone came over, but he didn't want to stand up at all. He raised a sign with some difficulty, and then lay down dejectedly.

[I drank too much and feel bloated.]

The little knight felt that the depths of the void seemed to be turbulent, and even he himself was affected.

It's not that he can't move, but he's afraid that if he moves, he won't be able to control the void, and the disaster that would result would be even more serious. So he can only lie here miserably and wait for the riot in the depths of the void to stop.

As it slowly examined the void, it discovered that in addition to a separate space for it to store things, a lot of garbage had been dumped into the void. The little knight also found a piece of glowing marshmallow fragment, which was fiercely fighting with the acid water rushing in.

This is probably one of the main reasons why the void is so restless.

This glowing fragment was the remnant of the radiance that was torn apart and swallowed by the void last time - although the knight claimed that this action was a seal, it was only torn into slightly pieces.

Black void matter flowed down like tears. Purely and considerately, he tore a piece of the cloak behind him shorter and wiped it clean as if wiping someone's tears.

Anyway, it has so many cloaks of the same style, too many to count. Although it doesn't know why there are so many intact cloaks and a few broken ones, there are also many broken container masks piled next to them, which is really strange.

Almost the moment Green came back, a sense of dependence spread over him. He wanted to hug his father and subconsciously showed his nature of wanting to act like a spoiled child.

Then they saw a scene that looked like a murder scene. The anger erupted in an instant and could no longer be restrained. A large amount of void flames even cracked the ground. This riot attracted the attention of Purity and Bumblebee. They held their weapons in different postures, ready to go.

"Father! What happened to Father?"

The slightly fierce roar woke up the little knight who was lying on the ground digesting the food. Unfortunately, due to its limited vision, it could only see a small piece of sky above its head, so it had no idea of ​​the current situation.

[what happened]

It slowly raised its sign and asked a question.

This action immediately calmed the restless Green. He immediately approached the little knight, lowered his head, and quietly pushed Chunchun aside.

He asked in a low, dull voice filled with concern.

"Father, it's nothing. I'm just a little too worried about your condition. Did anything happen while I was away? If something happened because of my absence, then I'm really unworthy. I should have stayed by your side all the time."

In fact, such a long paragraph not only expresses concern, but also contains a little selfishness of Green's, for example, don't let him go on missions alone anymore.

[Drank too much, feeling a bit full, taking a rest]

"Father, do you need me to help you move to a soft bed? Lying on the grass is too uncomfortable."

As Green spoke, he tried to pick the man up gently, because he knew that the little knight would not refuse his kindness.

but failed.

If the knight had not deliberately suppressed such a vast void, the huge weight would not be something that a normal person could move. Even the gods who could move it were very few, almost none. He tried to lift the knight up with some difficulty, but it was completely useless.

[The grass is also soft]

The little knight tactfully gave Green, who was unable to lift himself, a way out.

Green had no choice but to let go. Now that things had come to this, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only suppress the desire to hug his father and suck him hard. If he really did that, even if his father didn't care, the two guys next to him would definitely fight with him. No matter who won or lost, they would be scolded by their father. No matter how you think about it, it would be a loss.

As soon as he looked up, he met Chunchun's calm face, which seemed ironic no matter how he looked at it. He even suspected that the other party was deliberately mocking him, but he gave up the idea after a moment.

How could this guy, who was almost like a sculpture, express such strong emotions? There was no need to argue with him.

Bumblebee looked at the chaotic scene, wanting to speak several times but stopping himself. Now, taking advantage of the stillness of the scene, he finally found an opportunity to speak out what he should have said. "Ghost, although your methods are somewhat shocking, I still want to thank you for your contribution to this country. Although it may sound a bit false, it is truly sincere. The acid has faded, and the Mushroom King should have been freed. When the time comes, Ghost, I'll trouble you to come over and tell us what happened."

Bumblebee slowly clenched her fist with one hand and saluted. Everything was going on the right track, just as the ghost had promised her at the beginning. Hallownest would be rebuilt, the dead would return, the tragedy would be rewritten, and everything would be fine.

"But." Bumblebee's tone changed, and compared to the previous seriousness, it was a little more gritted.

"Ghost, I sincerely hope that you will stop stealing snacks, at least not in front of outsiders. Pure, I also want to ask you to do me a favor and take out all the snacks from it."

Pure does not think that confiscating the little knight's snacks is a bad thing, or an act of insubordination. Pure, who has been baptized by rules for a long time, believes that this is not a bad thing, but rather helps the little knight's growth.

And for so many years, the desire to make this country prosperous, which is engraved deep in its soul, has prompted it to take such action.

It reached out and pressed into the little knight's body, which was full of emptiness. It ignored the other party's pleading look and Green's greedy eyes, and took out a mountain of snacks one by one.
