Crimson sinking

"You guys are here, please feel free. 【】"

The old man Yingling sat on a stone platform and pointed to a few stone chairs beside him, but because of his imaginary body, he was in a strange levitating posture.

Hina sat unceremoniously on two stone chairs next to the old man, but Irene spoke first and asked politely:

"Grandpa, what kind of person are you, why did you stay here and survive in this way?"

"As you can see, I am a heroic spirit," the old man smiled with a kind face:

"Actually, I can't remember many things anymore, and now I keep recalling the past history. The only thing I know is that I was the king of this country, but this country suddenly disappeared one day. The country was also buried under the sand, but I survived here in the form of a heroic spirit. I don’t know how many years of wandering, and I gradually recalled some memories of the past. It was not until the past few decades that I regained consciousness , exists here as a rare and thoughtful heroic spirit."

Unexpectedly, the old man still has such an identity, so Irene said a little awkwardly: "Grandpa... no, Your Majesty..."

The old man Yingling stopped his hands and said: "Let's call me Grandpa, I'm used to it, let alone living in such a forgotten country, the word Your Majesty is a bit ironic..."

Irene blushed, and continued to ask: "I usually like some historical miscellaneous notes, but I heard that a prosperous country existed in this desert for 600 years, and then..."

Speaking of this, Irene stopped talking suddenly, as if she was still hesitating.

"Little girl, but don't worry, I won't be angry."

Irene nodded and said: "Later, I heard that because they blasphemed the existence of the gods of light, they were destroyed by the anger of the gods and turned into deserts, so as to warn the world of their reverence for the gods. From the sacred books, "Heavenly Difficulty"."

"Sanctuary, it seems to have an impression. Our country is close to the Sanctuary. I remember that when I was alive, the Sanctuary sent troops to attack, but they were repelled by our powerful warriors many times. Our people love peace, but And we are never afraid of any war. We don’t trust any gods. Even if there are, they will not really come to this world. The only thing we can believe in is ourselves and our partners. But if we explain the collapse of this prosperous country The reason, but it is also largely attributed to us, the kings of the past..."

Having said that, the old man Yingling sighed and continued:

"Because of the emphasis on rituals, the kings of the past dynasties always built huge mausoleums before their death. They always surpassed each other in order to highlight their own merits. I am no exception because of tradition. Excessive felling and expansion lead to greening The area is getting smaller and smaller, and the flow of the rivers that irrigate every year is also decreasing. One day, when I suddenly realized that my people were worried about the water source, I finally ordered to stop all construction. But because of the accumulation of hundreds of years For this reason, the serious desertification of the land has been unable to be prevented, and the number of babies is decreasing every year, but my people still live firmly in the land where they gave birth..."

"It's just that one day, a huge natural tornado swept across and covered a green belt again. At that time, we didn't pay attention. But when we woke up one day, we suddenly found that the water source we depended on for survival was gradually drying up. My country Facing an unprecedented survival crisis. How can we survive without water? After some decisions, we finally made a painful decision to move the whole country and find a green country to start again. We vowed never to destroy the environment at will again ..."

"However, on the morning of the departure, an unprecedented storm blew up, mixed with several astonishing destructive tornadoes. They swept across this once beautiful country. Several people were swept away by the storm, and their lives and deaths were unknown. This country is facing a crisis. The greatest crisis. Our warriors are not afraid of any enemy, but they are helpless against these natural disasters..."

"The storm has passed, and this country has suffered unprecedented damage. The houses collapsed and the palace was also damaged to a certain extent. Except for my strongest warriors, there are also some people who survived by accident. I am very sorry to make the decision to leave. Sad, but for the sake of my people, I am willing to go with them, but now that even the people are gone, what am I going to insist on? My wife and children are gone, and I am getting old. I love this land deeply, Heart to leave..."

"Next, I will give all the treasures to the surviving warriors and people, let them find a quiet and peaceful place to live again, don't come back here, and don't repeat the tragedies of the past. And I return to Palace, after finishing my unfinished work, I used my own strength to flash my whole body. I am a sinner here, although it is not only my fault, but after all, the country is destroyed in my hands, and I only have One death can be liberated. Until a hundred years ago, I wandered in the form of a heroic spirit in this desert-covered dungeon all day long, and finally found the shadows of the past on some stone walls. I gradually regained the memories of the past and regained my personality. .”

Speaking of this, the old man Yingling sighed for a long time, hugged the two girls, and sighed: "The story is a bit long, there are people, and there are some nagging, don't worry about it."

Irene shook her head and comforted her: "Old man, it's not your fault. No one knows what will happen in the future. No one would want such a disaster to happen."

"The fact has already happened, and it's too late to regret. I'm living in this ruin. I just hope that more people will pass by here by chance, chat with me, and know the original story of this country."

This time, Hina asked, "Old man, you said there are no treasures here?"

"Xina..." Emperor Irene gave Hina a reproachful look, and the latter stuck out her tongue unconsciously.

"It's okay, she's not the only one who said that. But this little girl is quite interesting, she suits my taste very much, and she has a casual personality, which is very nice." The old man didn't mean to blame at the same time, and asked at the same time: "Little girl, You look like there was a big battle up there?"

Irene was afraid that Xina would say something shocking again, so she spoke first: "Yes old man, we were accidentally blown to this desert by the tornado vortex at the mouth of the vortex. A monster was fighting nearby, and because of some kind of special fluctuation, it was attacked by a group of desert scarabs attracted by the corpse of the monster. It lasted for a day until the tornado hit, and found that the teleportation array came unexpectedly. Here, my friend’s question about the treasure just now comes from this, and it doesn’t really mean peeping at the treasure here.”

"Don't worry, I really don't care..." The old man stopped his hands and said indifferently: "If it is a valuable treasure, I have sent all the things to my surviving people. These things are not born. Bring it, don’t take it if you die, if it is true, I will not be stingy. I think the girl named Xina next to you said that she would not refer to those things that are only worth money, right? ?”

Speaking of this, the old man turned his eyes towards Hina, and smiled at the same time: "I know the abilities of those little beetles outside, little girl, you can persist for nearly a day, and at the same time protect another girl, this is amazing!" Courage, even many boys have never done it. I am very surprised to hear about your successive situations."

"That's why you made a fuss," Hina put her hands on her chest indifferently, "If it's just a valuable thing, as you said, I don't care at all, although I have always been poor. It's just here, I find out To another mysterious force, I want to know, what are those things?"

"So that's it. You are somewhat similar to the few little guests who have been here before, but those are boys and you are girls. I'm glad that you are the first batch of women who came here."

The old man stood up, walked outside, and at the same time said to the two behind him: "Since you are so interested, I will take you to the things you are interested in. I am also very glad that you are interested in those things."

The two followed the old man, and Hina asked inadvertently.

"By the way, what are the names of the people who came before us?"

"Of course, because there have been two visits in the past hundred years. I remember their names very clearly. One is called Rosirio and the other is named Moria. One is a very old-fashioned boy, and the other is a very pleasant guy..."

It’s enough if you don’t say it, even Hina’s eyelids twitched when she said it, one is the marshal who protects the country known as the Storm Kingdom, and the other is the clown king Moria who is called Moonlight, both of them are The famous powerhouses in the world still look like they came here long before they became famous, so they should have a huge connection with this place to some extent.

Following the lead of the old man, Hina and Irene came to a stone wall corridor full of murals everywhere. When Hina saw the murals on the wall, every carving was uncanny, exuding a breathtaking momentum. It seems that it is not just a simple mural. Although it is only a stone carving, the landscape and bird paintings on it seem to be lifelike. The long mural continues, as if it is describing a complete history.

"These are the works carved by my ancestors. Each work has a deed that happened during their reign. I want to keep going along these murals. After you understand a lot of things, you can go to the back stuff, I think you'll find something of interest to you."

"Is it?"

Hina shrugged her head. Although each of these murals is a rare work of art, her scalp felt a little numb when she saw a large pile of stone walls that could not be seen.

When Irene was already watching seriously, Hina asked aside: "That's how you started."

Irene cast a puzzled look, and asked strangely: "Yeah, what else can I do? By the way, I've already guessed what the first painting is about..."

"So tired, mine."
