Chapter 106 Escape?
Chapter 106 Escape?
"If there is really no way to end this nightmare, please burn me."
The priest made up his mind and said it out loud.
"Oh? You want to escape? Or have you become unable to bear the nightmare and want the underground villagers to escape together?"
Lin Hun turned around and the smile on his face disappeared. He could not read minds, nor did he have the time to slowly figure out the priest's true thoughts. He simply expressed his inner doubts directly.
"No! No! No! How could I abandon them, sir? How could I be willing to leave them?"
The priest realized that Lin Hun had misunderstood something and waved his hands wildly in front of him.
But in his haste, he forgot that he was completely relying on the long pole to support his body, and when he let go, he almost fell to his knees.
Lin Hun stepped forward and lifted the priest's arm to prevent him from hitting the ground.
Even though he felt unhappy with his words, Lin Hun still wanted to hear his reasons.
What's more, I have suffered enough kneeling today, and it is really annoying to see someone kneeling in front of me.
No matter how much time has passed, Lin Hun still cannot accept someone kneeling in front of him, let alone someone he slightly likes.
The fire in Lin Hun's body slowly eroded the priest's arm, but he ignored the pain in his body. He grabbed Lin Hun's wrist and explained anxiously.
"Sir! If even you can't get rid of this dream, I'm afraid the day when everyone can wake up will be a long time away. At least they still have hope in their hearts."
The priest shook his head helplessly, and the cloth covering his head rustled.
"Although they didn't say anything, I know they must be watching me, watching you and I leave. If I go back, their last hope will be gone, and they will be even more unable to hold on."
"I can't help them now, but at least I can give them something to think about. As long as I don't go back, they still have hope."
Lin Hun gave a gentle push, and the priest steadied himself and stood obediently where he was, lowering his brows and nodding his head, waiting for his soul to recover.
"The gaps and flying ash between you villagers were caused by me, right?"
Lin Hun bent down, picked up the long pole on the ground, and carefully brushed off the mud and sand on it. The long pole became extremely dry where his fingers passed.
"That has nothing to do with you, sir. It is the villagers who have offended you. What does it have to do with you that they themselves cannot appreciate your warmth?"
"Actually, I don't know whether those villagers left the dream or not. They were just burned to ashes. Do you still want to be burned?"
Lin Hun stretched out his hands and handed over the long pole that he had taken care of, dry and clean, waiting for the priest's reply.
The priest did not disappoint Lin Hun's expectations. He took it with both hands decisively without even a second of hesitation.
"It's alright my Lord, it's enough that you are willing to accept my request, how dare you ask for more."
"Come on, take me to see Kos. Today, we will have a good meeting with Him and see if there is any chance to resolve this nightmare."
------
Neither of them spoke again along the way.
Lin Hun was sorting out his equipment as he walked. The straps of his armor were still firm, the protection everywhere was still strong, and the Black Knight's sword was still as reassuring as ever.
Of course, there was also an unexpected surprise - a waist bag. Lin Hun had never thought that it would follow him to this dream. Thinking about it now, it makes people feel a little emotional.
After searching for a while, Lin Hun found neither the seven-colored stone nor the equipment he had collected along the way. He only found a broken bone fragment, which was covered with fine cracks, as if it would completely shatter if he looked at it again.
Lin Hun quickly and carefully put the bone fragment back into his waist bag, and the urgency hidden in his heart subsided a lot.
The returning bone fragments house the undead's deepest desire for fire.
Therefore, crushing the return bone fragment can bring the undead back to the campfire.
However, there is no bonfire in the world of bloodline, and Lin Hun himself has never tried forging.
Therefore, having the return bone fragment means that he can still return to the Dark Soul world.
With a glimmer of hope, the sense of crisis in his heart was finally reduced. Lin Hun began to observe the surrounding scenery with a tourist mentality and hummed a tune happily.
This was a tough situation for the priest leading the way, as Lin Hun's tune kept attracting his attention.
Due to the loss of his eyes, his senses were greatly enhanced, and he led the way by relying entirely on his senses of the great Kos.
At the same time, his hearing was enhanced, and he was able to hear deeper things. From Lin Hun's simple and cheerful tune, he heard a grandeur and solemnity that Lin Hun himself was not aware of.
His keen senses and hearing became a burden and contradictory to each other, but how could the priest dare to let Lin Hun stop humming? His mood had finally improved a lot, so how could he disturb his good mood?
Patience, and more patience, following the direction of memory and clues of feeling, the priest finally stopped.
Lin Hun passed by the priest, and after walking a short distance, he realized that the priest was not in front of him. He turned around and found that he was standing behind him.
Lin Hun left his joy and walked back to the side of the priest.
"Why don't you leave?"
The priest reluctantly stretched out his index and middle fingers, bent them together with difficulty, and gently tapped the air in front of him.
"My Lord, I am only worthy of coming to this position. Beyond this is the body of the great Kos. I don't know since when He refused to contact us again. We can no longer get close to Him."
"Oh?"
Lin Hun bent down and looked curiously at the place where the priest knocked. He really didn't feel anything, but looking at the priest's state, it seemed that there was really a barrier in front of him blocking his steps, and it didn't sound like he was lying.
"Okay, then you wait here for me. I'll go check out the situation first."
"Okay, sir, just keep going straight ahead and you will see the great Kos. I will be waiting for you here."
The priest did not say whether it was a success or a failure. It didn't matter. The adults were already willing to help, so how could I dare to make any requests?
"Don't worry," Lin Hun waved his hand without looking back, "I will definitely help you if I can solve it."
Seeing the flames moving away from him, the priest slowly moved down with the long pole, not caring about the mud and sand on the ground, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Even the most sober person in the village was only in a slightly better condition. Being so close to the "fire", even if the "fire" had no intention of hurting him, he would still be affected, and he would feel a burning pain all over his body.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he just sat there with his eyelids open.
A tiny spark began to burn in the empty eye sockets, but this spark was too small, just a flame at best. But it was this spark that gave him light again, and he could see the figure of "fire" gradually fading away in the darkness.
