Chapter 6 Confused
Tired.
Very tired.
Very tired.
Although he was mentally prepared, when the butcher actually arranged work for Xiao En, he still felt a bit of physical discomfort.
Because the butcher asked him to carry the body.
All kinds of strange corpses were all wrapped in black bags. They were very heavy. Some even needed to be cut and separated into bags. He saw the high wall for the first time. It was a wall that stretched as far as the eye could see. The city wall at the end spans the mountains and mountains, undulates along the earth's veins, until it reaches the far end, the end of the gray mist.
"High wall, long wall, great wall."
The butcher was very satisfied with Xiao En's work. He looked at the hundreds of meters high wall and said slowly: "It built Designed by an unknown master in the Fourth Age"
"It is part of the miracle of destiny"
"This master is also a descended soul from another world, from a country called Rome."
The Great Wall, Changyuan.
This title made Xiao En's consciousness a little dazed, and he couldn't help but think of his hometown.
The Butcher's next words made Xiao En couldn't help but ask: "Where is that master now?"
The soul of another world in his hometown.
Xiao En had a strong intuition that the person who originally designed the Great Wall might come from the same place as himself.
Although they may not be from the same era.
"It has long since fallen." The butcher said calmly.
He motioned to Xiao En to carry the heavy body bag on his back, and continued: "There are three sections of the Great Wall, which took more than three hundred years to complete. The most majestic section is Changyuan, which was built by a man from an unknown place. "Built by wise men."
Xiao En looked at the towering city wall in the distance, and he was as small as a wisp of dust in front of it.
"Let's go."
"I'll take you to see your mentor." The Butcher patted Xiao En on the shoulder, making him almost stagger. He said slowly: "She has a library there. You Now that she has mastered the reading trick, she should be able to learn basic general knowledge quickly."
"But be careful, she has a bad temper."
Xiao En's current position. It is a huge and majestic building complex like a monastery. The surrounding peaks seem to have been wiped away. Towers are built one after another, with a height of more than a hundred meters. At the end of the distance is a black tower that reaches into the sky. Xiao En could not calculate the height of the obelisk at all, because part of it had already entered the clouds.
Everything here is like a wonder.
It is simply not something that ordinary humans can do. Just like the butcher said, this is a miracle in the world.
There are very few living people here.
Xiao En has begun to accept reality and everything he sees in front of him.
"This year's gray disaster has just ended, so everyone will be busier than usual." The butcher led Xiao En through a suspended corridor more than 300 meters long, which was about 100 meters above the ground. Meter high, looking down at the ground below, you can see many tombstones. The densely packed tombstones stretch for several kilometers, which makes Xiao En feel a little numb.
There are dark traces on this gray corridor, like dried blood. Although it is cleaned every day, you can still feel a trace of eerie and cold atmosphere.
This is the kingdom of death.
At the end of the line of sight is a simple door, carved with some patterns that Xiao En can't understand. It seems like a circle with countless snakes entangled, or like a maze. The butcher's expression changes. He had to be cautious, patted the door gently and said: "I want to see Ms. Hecate."
A gray mist appeared in front of Xiao En, and then turned into a hazy female phantom. Shadow, she stared at the two of them with cold eyes, and said slowly: "The lady is already waiting for you."
The butcher nodded respectfully and said: "Okay."
Looking When Xiao En was still looking at the maids in front of him, the butcher pulled Xiao En and whispered: "They are Ms. Hecate's maids."
"The immortal banshee."
"There are more dead people than living people here, you will get used to it gradually."
It's a bit like a ghost.
Xiao En was not afraid, just a little curious.
The figure of the immortal maid led the way. After entering here, the butcher seemed to become a little more cautious. This is a very majestic building with a large area, and long corridors filled with various kinds of things. There were strange maze-like reliefs and many handicrafts symbolizing death. The length of a circular corridor was about two hundred meters, just like going around a maze. The banshee took them a long way.
finally.
When a flash of light appeared in front of him, Xiao En's eyes suddenly became clear.
"Madam."
"They are here." The figure of the immortal maid turned into gray mist and disappeared.
This is an arc hall with a diameter of about a hundred meters. There are bright flames on the walls on all four sides. Bookshelves with a height of about fifteen meters are neatly arranged, with countless books placed on them. books, but Xiao En couldn't read a single word on them.
In the center of the hall is a gorgeous desk. An old-looking woman is reading a book. She is dressed in simple clothes. She slowly raises her head, her gaze passes over the butcher beside her, and then falls on Xiao En.
"Sit down." Ms. Hecate raised her hand gently.
Then she stared at the monocle on the bridge of Xiao En's nose and whispered: "Confused."
It seemed that everyone here knew the monocle that Xiao En was wearing. .
The old-looking lady stood up, her back a little stooped, walked slowly to Xiao En and said: "Young man, where are your fears?"
fear?
The other party's words made Xiao En confused for a moment. He asked doubtfully: "Fear?"
"Yes." Ms. Hecate picked up the glasses on the side and put them on. Behind the glasses, she looked like a stern old woman, saying in a serious voice: "Fear." "Where are your fears and fears?"
Xiao En's head buzzed, and he understood what the other party was saying. What is it, fear, the emotion of fear.
Any normal person would have feelings of fear after going through this.
Just the butcher next to Xiao En, this ferocious giant-like man, most people will feel a little scared when they see him.
But Sean didn’t.
Ms. Hecate sat down again. She took off her glasses and whispered: "You have lost your fear."
Xiao En said cautiously: "Is the problem serious?"
At present, he doesn't feel anything unusual. If the other party hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even noticed it.
“It’s not serious.”
Ms. Hecate thought for a moment and said, “But the lack of fear will make you act impulsively and recklessly.”
Xiao En Chewing each other's words.
"Because you have no fear, you will adapt to this world better than others." Ms. Hecate stared at Xiao En and ordered: "Take off the confusion!"
ah?
Xiao En looked a little hesitant.
He looked at the butcher next to him. As his guide, although he looked fierce, in this short time together, the butcher was already the friendliest person he had ever met. .
The butcher noticed Xiao En's hesitation and nodded slightly.
Xiao En's hands trembled slightly. He hesitated and removed the confusion from his eyes.
The next second.
Everything he saw in front of him was distorting and changing. Reality and illusion alternated, as if they were cuts that flashed intermittently. Ms. Hecate in front of him was surrounded by a deep gray-white mist. Her The face keeps changing, young, middle-aged, old, three different heads emerge in the gray mist.
Three heads and six arms.
Don’t look directly!
Ms. Hecate’s clothes are no longer simple. She is wearing a gorgeous black silk robe. Countless fine silver runes are like wriggling threads. They are knowledge, living knowledge. , they surrounded the lady, attached to her body, and spread along the snow-white skin.
This large black robe is engraved with countless knowledge. It blends with Ms. Hecate's body, like a black curtain, spreading in all directions, and the bricks and stones underfoot have also disappeared, and everything has become It became a black skirt connected to the gorgeous robe, covering the entire hall, and black curtains extended in all directions, eventually integrating into the towering bookshelves.
The books on the bookshelf are changing. They emit different faint lights and evolve into various strange scenes. Some are emitting black mist, some are hovering with shadows of nothingness, and some seem to be living creatures. It squirmed like a squirm, and then the pages of the book opened, revealing a bloody mouth full of fine teeth. Dark red tissue that looked like flesh and blood nodules spread inside the bookshelf. They tried to erode other books and plunder them. knowledge, but it is isolated by invisible forces.
One after another, illusive and hazy shadows emerged. They were similar to the banshee attendants that Xiao En had seen before. They had no entity and were busy shuttling between the towering bookshelves.
When Xiao En saw them, they also saw Xiao En.
The cold, pale, expressionless faces turned to where Xiao En was. Their gray-white eyes could not see any emotion, and they just stared at him quietly.
Xiao En seemed to feel a little scared, but the fear was only for a moment and passed quickly.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the butcher on the side, and then he couldn't help but froze, because he saw a burly creature that seemed not to be human, and the coiled muscles all over his body were beyond what a human should have. As for the butcher's face, although the other party turned around in an instant, Xiao En still saw a hideous, terrifying and ugly face that looked like a beast.
That is not what humans should look like!
"That's enough." There was a hint of anger in the butcher's voice, and before Xiao En could react, confusion had been put on his eyes again.
The butcher stood up and looked directly at Ms. Hecate in front of him. His face was no longer as respectful as before, but his eyes were deep, as if suppressing his anger. He said in a deep voice: "Madam! He is still Need to adapt to everything here.”
"Madam!"
"I am his guide!"
Xiao En once again felt the biting chill that hit his face when he saw the butcher for the first time.
Ms. Hecate's eyes were dark. She stared at the butcher in front of her. After a moment of silence, she said: "Oken, you are doing something stupid again."
"Sooner or later he will see clearly. The essence of this world.”
"You can't change a guy who needs confusion to block his inspiration."
The figure of the butcher was standing in front of Xiao En at some point, and his burly figure blocked Hecate in front of him. Madam, calmly said: "That is something in the future."
"Now, I am his guide!"
Xiao En couldn't see Ms. Hecate in front of him, but The butcher in front of him gave him the feeling of being in an abyss.
Before becoming a transcendent, Xiao En only felt that the Butcher was scary, but now it is even difficult for him to breathe. Even if he is wearing the Bewilderment, he can feel the stagnant air like death. .
"Let's go." The butcher turned around.
Xiao En couldn't help but gasp for air, the stagnant air began to flow again, and his heartbeat suddenly surged.
But just when the two turned around.
Ms. Hecate's voice sounded again, and she said faintly: "He can come to me for three hours every day."
"How much he can learn depends on his talent."
The butcher stopped, turned around, his attitude changed drastically, his expression became respectful again, even a hint of flattery, he leaned slightly and lowered his head and said: "Thank you, madam."
