Giants, this is actually a relatively mysterious race in Shia's long history. Unlike the witches, the reason why giants appear mysterious is not that they act secretly, nor that they are far away from the crowd, but simply disappeared early.
As a powerful, giant tribe that has now been reduced to mythological creatures by mankind, the time of its disappearance is much earlier than that of dragons, angels and other races of the same specifications. Therefore, there is a long gap between human history and human history.
Nothing can kill everything more than time. Even if it has a glorious history, even if it is the overlord race that once made other races fearful, it is so vulnerable in the face of the long river of time. Now after thousands of years have passed, Very few records remain for the giants.
The gap formed by the unknown and ignorance is the source of the mystery of the giants. Therefore, the black-haired teenager heard the [collector] Kaldos and Alder in the memory of [Lord of the Dead Tides] The family members were so surprised when they said that name.
Even the Alder family, who knows a lot of history, is unlikely to know the name Gurandal unless they have been investigated in detail. In fact, the descendants of the giant bloodlines in the kingdom of knights have their own ancient ancestors. Many misunderstandings.
On the other hand, Roja also discovered something else, that is, the woman who talked to Kaldos seemed to be very powerful. Although not many, Roja did feel the fear of [Lord of the Dead Tide] at the time.
It can make [Six Plagues], even if it is a monster in a sealed state, it is definitely not an unnamed person. Such a person mentioned Gurandal when they met Kaldos. It is hard to imagine that the two will be ordinary. Small talk, and in fact, there are indeed some words in the two people's words that are hard to ignore, such as-the savior.
After Gurandal, the savior, and this black-haired and golden-eyed woman, Roja, who had been thinking for a long time, gradually began to think of something after a series of key words.
I remember that a long time ago, when Roja and Gurandar had just signed a contract, the huge bones once told him one thing, that is, Roja was not the first blood descendant of the king who saw Gurandar.
The ancient gods can be seen in the historical fragments. This is the bloodline ability that has the blood of the king. However, as the giants said in the past, this kind of meeting is not uncontrollable. Through holy relics and other methods, the Alder clan The awakened can be accurately summoned.
It’s just like gambling. The result of such a summoning is likely to be that there is a difference in the match between the two parties, and the temperament may not be compatible. The ancient gods are not necessarily willing to follow the summoner, and without the help of the ancient gods, historical fragments The test will also become extremely dangerous.
Of course, the above situations are actually considered to be better cases of failure. The worst situation is to cause the unhappiness of gods such as Cthulhu. In that case, let alone the difficulties of historical fragments, maybe even the chance to be killed on the spot.
To a certain extent, Roja’s phase summoning is the safest way to contact the ancient gods. It’s just that this kind of summoning is a bit of a face, or it depends on your own luck and potential. After all, there are many strange things in the ancient gods. The guy, there is nothing too strong in combat ability.
For Roja, the abilities of these two aspects of the juvenile are top-notch. The gods he encounters, whether it is the earth mother or the king of the witch, are extremely powerful existences in the ancient world, and Gurandal is even more abnormal. Mysterious, the strength is almost exceptional.
The huge skeleton has encountered Alder’s people in the past. This is not surprising at all. If he knew the existence of Gurandal in advance, he would have gambled for it, but the facts proved that, The ancient gods still like to have more destined people.
Gurandal’s preferences are aside for the time being. The reason why Roja thought about this was because Gurandar did say at the time that it was a woman who found him with the relics of his life, and seemed to have something urgent to want. He helped, and in the end the king of giants refused her request.
As a partner in the conclusion of the contract, the huge skeleton does not seem to like this kind of person with a strong purpose, but combined with the memory of the [Lord of the Dead Tide] that Roja saw this time, the black-haired boy began to have something in his mind. A lot of speculation.
First of all, the woman, combined with the background of [Collector] Cardos in that era and the strength that made [Lord of the Dead Tide] also a little jealous, Roja actually has a rough guess about the identity of that person, that is, Akat. The first generation of the family, Caroline Acate, and the reason is simple, that is, she and Cardos are equal.
Astrid once said that although the Twilight Sage at the end of the Second Age has been torn apart, there are still many teams carrying out their own tasks, of which two are the most important, one is [Collector] Kaldos The other team led by the [Six Plagues] is the alliance between Caroline and the ancient Austin Empire at that time.
Black hair and golden eyes, this can be said to be a sign of the Alder family's awakened person, and besides that, the identity and status of both parties can also be seen from the communication between the two.
Thousands of years ago, the Alder family was still a big family. Although the dialogue between family members was not very pretentious, people with lower status would consciously abide by the etiquette of the nobility, so they would appear more polite. This is due to the difference in identities between the two parties. Decided imperceptibly.
In the images seen by [Lord of the Dead Tides], Kaldoz and the woman clearly communicated equally, and those who were able to communicate equally with the [collector], except for Caroline, the awakened who was the main line of that era. ·Besides Acate, Roja really can't think of anyone else, and Roja also thinks of something about the savior they talked about.
A few years ago, Roja had received information from Roy Akat’s Phantom. According to Roy at the time, Charles Aqiman, the last emperor of the ancient Austin Empire, had re-established contact with Alder’s main line. , And the purpose is probably to deal with the awakening of the savior and the attacks of his followers.
Only for this reason can the two races that have been separated be able to cooperate again, and if this is credible, it is the same as the purpose of the woman in the memory image of [Lord of the Dead Tides].
Although according to the final result, the ancient Austin Empire was destroyed and mankind started the largest westward migration in history, one thing I have to mention is that in response to the tragic experience of mankind, the savior has fallen asleep again. , It was not until the year before and now that there were signs of recovery.
It is difficult to assess the merits and demerits of the ancestors, but the black-haired boy has a question in his heart for a long time, and with the experience of watching the memory of [Lord of the Dead Tide], he has become more and more eager to understand. It is the past of Gurandal.
Gurandal has always been very vague about his memory after his death. When Roja asked about it, he basically asked three questions. It was comparable to a patient with an elderly disease, but after fighting with Geert, who had the blood of a giant, a year ago. , The king of giants seemed to think of something.
What Gurandal thought of was probably not a good thing. This was Roja's intuition, and because of this, the boy hadn't asked much, and of course, the taciturn giant hadn't said it.
However, as time went by, the originally peaceful human world began to gradually become chaotic. The believers of the savior appeared and stared at Roja, the [Six Plagues] entered activation, and the mother god also opened his eyes, so much After the incident, it seemed necessary to confirm Gurandal's situation.
"Since he doesn't take the initiative to mention it, let me speak and ask honestly."
Looking at the stars in the night sky, the black-haired boy said to himself, holding the girl in his arms back to the bed, and lying on the bed, feeling the gradual re-establishment with the ancient gods Through the passage, the black-haired boy once again strengthened his faith.
After thinking for a while, feeling Charlotte's body temperature, sleepiness also emerged in the black-haired boy's mind. After kissing the girl lightly, Roja closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
In the quiet lounge, the black-haired boy sat on a chair, closed his eyes and silently felt the curse power flowing in his body.
A few days have passed since the gem necklace left the place where Roja and the [Lord of the Dead Tide] were fighting. During this time, the entire team was heavily guarded, and the speed along the way was greatly accelerated compared to when it came. There are only a few days. He entered the territory of Rose, and began to return along the original road of the avenue.
For Roja and Charlotte, this is undoubtedly good news. After all, even with a large number of guards, outside the border, especially in this kind of unowned land, there is still no small risk.
This kind of territory that does not belong to any country is likely to become a paradise for cultists because there is no one to manage it. There may also be some tricks on the road. It is also due to no ownership. Any country is not responsible for killing people here. Therefore, it has become a paradise for assassins. In history, many important figures in the military and political circles have died in this chaotic area.
After entering Roselle, the situation is quite different. With the guards of border troops, the law and order in Roselle is far better than those outside the country. The roads are also reassuring and smooth. The advantages of geographical advantages have completely returned to the teenagers and girls. Here.
With the improvement of these external conditions, the security level of Roja and Charlotte has naturally increased. After entering the Realm of Rose, the curse power circuit in the body of the black-haired boy has basically returned to normal. Our channel can then be opened.
On this day, both Roja and Charlotte can say that they have been waiting for a long time. The black-haired boy wants to solve the doubts in his heart for so long, and the brown-red haired girl needs help from the Mother God.
Of course, the meeting with the ancient gods had to come one by one, and the conversation between Roja and Gurandal, the young man thought after hesitating for a long time that two people should talk in secret.
Although with Gurandal’s personality, even if a girl with brown-red hair is next to Roja, he shouldn’t care about it, but Roja feels that if you ask about this kind of privacy-related matters, you should try not to let others compare. Well, not even Petra and others who are also ancient gods.
This is Roja’s respect for Gurandall, and it also contains the gratitude for fighting side by side all the time, but what the black-haired boy did not expect is that he has not waited for him to figure out how to inform Charlotte of this decision, brown and red. The girl with colored hair brought it up by herself.
"My dear, I thought about it for a while. It's better to tell you about Master Gulandal."
"Hey? You mean..."
"Well, leave it to you in the afternoon. I'll go strolling around the garden alone. After the end, you can come to me and have some refreshments."
The girl who said this smiled and got up and kissed the boy lightly on the cheek, and then walked out the door alone, making Roja couldn't help but sigh Charlotte's delicate thoughts.
The experience of living independently from childhood made Charlotte think very comprehensively, and his emotional intelligence is also very high, coupled with the beauty and noble identity inherited from the highland elves, it is almost a set of undefeated combo punches, which made Roja lose. Convinced.
Stroking the ring on his hand, the black-haired boy felt fortunate that he could be favored by such a young girl, but immediately adjusted his mentality and began to mobilize the curse power in his body.
After thinking about it for a while, Roja felt that since Charlotte is gone, it is better to take the initiative to find the huge bones instead of summoning Gurandal to this world. The god channel was completely restored, and the black-haired boy slowly closed his eyes.
When the boy opened his eyes again, everything nearby had changed. The ancient and elegant room disappeared, replaced by a bloody plain with no end in sight.
Looking at this long-lost scene, Roja’s face showed nostalgia. Unlike Petra and Altacia, Gurandal rarely called a teenager to his site. The last time he came here in his memory was A year ago, I don’t know how long it will go.
I carefully looked at the surrounding environment, the wind and sand remained the same, the blood-colored land did not change, nothing seemed to have changed, and after some observation, Luo Ya also started to move along the route in his memory.
Different from the pilgrimage of Altacia’s city, and also different from the deep silence of the gorge where Petra is located, the plain where Gurandal lies is a golden horse, full of the atmosphere of war, and the setting sun. Afterglow, everything becomes the sadness of the past.
The black-haired boy thinking about these kept advancing, and not long after, a huge figure appeared on the plain.
At this time, Gulandar seemed to be asleep, his huge body was dyed a layer of red in the setting sun, and appeared quiet and mysterious in the howling wind. It seemed that he felt the arrival of Roja, two huge bones. A light gradually lit up in the eye hole, as if just waking up.
After seeing Roja down, the King of Giants was completely awake, the light in his eyes quickly became stronger, and when he saw Gurandar move his huge body, Roja also smiled.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten days, are you sleeping well?"
"Well, not bad."
"The previous battle was hard."
"No, it is you, not me, that can overcome that disaster."
Facing Roja’s thanks, the huge skeleton shook his head without accepting it, and said in a calm and serious voice:
"After all, all I can do is to shoot with all my strength. Without your cold air, I wouldn't be able to fight that monster."
"Perhaps it is true, but it's useless to have the air of frozen ground. Without your powerful attack power, all I can do is confront the [Lord of the Dead Tide]."
"Well, in that case, it is our victory."
"Haha, indeed, only when we are together can we defeat the [Six Plagues]. That battle was a victory for two people."
Hearing the words of the black-haired boy, the tall giant couldn't help but nod his head, obviously agreeing with this statement, and looking at such a Gurandal, Roja could clearly feel that he was in a good mood. Also expresses understanding.
Defeating the evil monster that exists in the legend is not only a glorious moment in Roja’s life, but also one of the most dazzling achievements in Gulandal's long record. Fighting the strong is originally a warrior like Gulandal. The long-cherished wish, and being able to defeat a powerful enemy like [Lord of the Dead Tide] after death is undoubtedly something to be proud of.
Looking at the King of Giants, who was in a good mood and spoke a lot because of this reason, Roja couldn't help but have a sense of exchange of experience after playing games online with friends in his previous life, and the two people discussed the previous battle for a long time. After that, the black-haired boy finally got into the subject.
"Gurandar, this time I came to you because I actually wanted to ask something. When I was absorbing the Crown Stone, I saw some memories of that monster. Some of them are thousands of years ago when my ancestors mentioned you... . ... ”
Looking at the huge bones, Roja explained in detail everything he had seen before, and when he heard Roja's description, Gulandal fell into contemplation, and nodded slightly after thinking about it for a while.
"Indeed, I have met such a person in the past, but after death, I can't feel the flow of time outside, so I can't be sure that it happened a thousand years ago."
"Then the woman who was looking for you said anything?"
"...I don't remember the specific content anymore, but it seems to be what I want me to do for help."
After a moment of silence, Gurandal gave such an answer. It was obvious that before signing the contract with Roja, the huge skeleton did not take too much to heart, but kept the duty of a deceased. Don't want to interfere too much in the real world.
Roja understood this. In fact, he had already guessed that Gulandal's character would do this. After explaining the causes and consequences and making the preparations, the black-haired teenager finally asked the question.
"Gurandall, can you tell me something about your life?"
"During his lifetime?"
"Yes, although it's my guess, you seem to have something to do with the savior during your lifetime, right?"
"..."
Under Roja’s question, the huge skeleton fell into silence. I have to say that the boy’s question is quite straightforward and does not mean to hide it. If it is two strangers, such a question is likely to irritate each other, but for For the two who have been with each other for many years, Roja knew that it was nothing.
After going through so many lives and deaths together, Roja and Gurandar’s trust in each other has long been unshakable. It is not a good thing to hide when encountering problems. On the other hand, giants are indeed a race with thick lines. Euphemism prefers frankness and directness.
Gently lowering his huge head, Gurandar looked at the young man with eyes facing him calmly on the ground and maintained a long silence. The light in his eyes flickered and seemed to be reminiscent of the long buried in time. The secret, after a long time, the giant finally spoke slowly:
"Actually, I can't think of a lot of things, and I don't remember the specific circumstances, but if I talk about the relationship with the savior, then I still know."
Looking down at the serious and even nervous young man, Gulandal paused for a moment, and said calmly without any concealment:
"I once assisted him, and if I insisted on saying it, I was a member of the savior's camp at that time."
"!"
Hearing such words from Gurandall, the black-haired boy couldn't help but his eyes widened, but after a brief surprise, Roja slowly calmed down.
The giant's words are surprising, and can even be said to be the most troublesome situation in Roja and the phase, but to be honest, Roja has already been prepared for it.
With the strength of Gurandal, even in the ancient times when the gods are in the world, it must be a powerful existence. In that long time when the savior and the mother god are enemies, both he and the giants are the same. A powerful force, it is impossible to stay out of the matter no matter how you think, so it is normal to belong to it again.
Just as Charlotte’s ancestors, the highland elves, were once followers of the mother goddess and even assisted them in managing the [Six Plagues], then it was not uncommon for the giants to follow the savior at the time, but.... .. In this case, some things will be confirmed like Gurandal.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya raised his head, looked at the tall giant with a serious and serious face, and said softly:
"Gurandar, I think you also know that the Acate family and the savior and his followers have had indissoluble blood feuds since thousands of years ago. In the future, my hostility with them is inevitable, and the battle will be unavoidable."
"You were in the same camp before you were alive. This is something I didn't expect, but if you don't want to, I can promise you that you won't be allowed to participate in this battle."
Looking at the huge bones, the black-haired boy calmly promised to return the freedom of choice to Gurandar himself. However, what Roja did not expect was that the King of Giants shook his head after hearing these. He immediately spoke and gave a denial.
"No, don't worry about this. I can fight, and my relationship with the savior is not good. It's better to say the opposite."
The tall giant said so, his eyes gleaming, and he said faintly:
"After all, I killed him."
