"Um, this..." Richard couldn't answer the golden mask's question. He really couldn't answer. He knew very little about the Golden Mask—even less than the Golden Mask itself. Now that Golden Mask doesn't have an answer, how can he have an answer
"call-"
Richard took a breath and tried to comfort Golden Mask: "Have you ever heard of the three major questions in life?"
"Um?"
"There are three philosophical problems in life, namely: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I want to go? If you understand these three problems, you will understand the meaning of life."
"so… "
"So what I want to say is that although you don't know 'who you are' and 'where you come from', you can choose 'where to go' - you have a future. Since you have forgotten the past, you might as well Think about how you will live in the future, this will be a brand new you." Richard said.
"..." The golden mask was silent for a long time, and then he spoke for a while. The voice was very low at first, and then became higher and higher, "No... No! What you said is wrong! Who am I? Where do I come from? I want to Where to go? If I don’t even know who I am, if I don’t even know where I come from, where else do I need to go? To become a new me, is it still me, or is it another stranger? ?”
"this… "
"Ah, damn, damn, damn, why can't I remember what happened before, why can't I remember anything, ah! Why! Why! Why, my memory is so blurry, ah! Why!"
The more Golden Mask spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he shouted almost like a roar, and then the voice suddenly stopped.
Richard raised his eyebrows and suddenly had a bad premonition. He quickly touched the golden mask and found that the golden mask hanging on the wall was already cold.
"Bang bang!"
Richard tapped the surface of the golden mask with his fingers, but there was no response from the golden mask.
"Bang bang!"
Richard knocked harder and harder, but the golden mask still didn't respond, like a dead thing.
this…
"So... in the end, we still end up with the same fate as the book spirit in "Monroe Chapter"?"
Richard thought, his lips pursed slightly, feeling a little weird inside.
He admitted that Shu Ling's collapse was his problem, but now that the Temple Spirit's Golden Mask's collapse was also his problem, he wanted to deny it.
To be honest, he had no intention of killing Golden Mask just now. After all, the other party was already miserable enough. Not only was the palace he guarded demolished, but he was also often bullied by Pandora. He even made the sheep bald. Really I can't bear to kill the sheep for meat.
Besides, if he really wants to kill the other party, the method is very simple - just put it in the furnace and melt it into a gold ingot, there is no need to go to such trouble.
Therefore, he really wanted to enlighten the other party. It would be even better if he could be lucky enough to get some information about "Stockholm" from the other party.
However... who knew it would end like this.
"call-"
Richard sighed, shook his head, straightened the golden mask hanging on the wall, turned around and walked out.
After spending more than a week and not getting any information related to "Stockholm" from Golden Mask, he decided to find a solution elsewhere.
…
As for the so-called finding a solution from other places, there are actually two places - the White Rock Tower Academy Library and the great scholar Surades.
Without much hesitation, Richard left the world inside the box and went to White Rock Tower Academy.
…
After coming to the White Stone Tower College again, Richard keenly discovered that the previously damaged buildings had been almost repaired. The entire White Stone Tower did not show any signs of damage, as if it had never been attacked.
But behind the complete building, Richard felt a somewhat depressing atmosphere. The atmosphere was filled with grief, hatred, worry and fear, which made people feel breathless.
Looking up, Richard saw that the sky had turned cloudy at some point. Numerous lead clouds were densely piled up, making the sky very low, as if he could reach out and touch it with his feet.
"Is it because of the weather?" Richard muttered, without thinking much, turned and walked into the library.
In the library, Richard kept flipping through books, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any books related to "Stockholm", and he felt a little bad.
After that, Richard deliberately found the Black Holy Mountain Princess, Ruth, who had been avoiding him, and asked her. The other party said very frankly that she didn't know, and Richard couldn't help but feel even worse.
Seeing Richard's gloomy face, Ruth said with fear, she really didn't know, what she told was the truth, even if she was treated in a special way, the answer would be this.
Richard observed the other party with a micro-expression, and after confirming that he was not lying, he left the other party with disappointment. Afterwards, Richard returned to the library, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and searched for books for the second time, hoping that there would be books that he had missed before.
Gro was also in the library at this time. He saw Richard busy and took the initiative to help.
But the two of them together didn't change the harsh fact that there really weren't any books about "Stockholm" in the library.
As evening approached, Richard gave up and pulled Gro to stop looking for books and sit down on the table on the side.
Gro spoke out and asked curiously: "Your Excellency Richard, why are you looking for books about 'Stockholm'? What does 'Stockholm' mean?"
"Uh, this... it's actually nothing, it's just an ancient language I've been studying recently." Richard said, not wanting Gro to know too much. After all, it would be of no benefit if the other party knew. The next moment he took the initiative to change the topic, "By the way, how is the academy, or Whitestone Tower, lately? Is it still as bad as before?"
"Uh, what about this..." After hearing what Richard said, Gro opened and closed his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly a huge copper bell rang outside the library.
"Boom!"
Richard raised his head and subconsciously looked outside, blinking.
get out of class has ended
Although he was an absolute "bad student" and spent very little time at White Rock Tower Academy, he still remembered the most basic rules of the academy.
White Rock Tower Academy has always used bronze bells to announce work and rest times. There are two types of bronze bells: a duller bell and a crisper bell.
The dull sound of the copper bell represents the end of a class, and the crisp sound of the copper bell represents the beginning of a new class.
is get out of class over
Richard guessed in his heart, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, because he found that the sound of the copper bells was different from the dull copper bells he had heard before, and it was also different from the crisp copper bells, but...
"Boom!"
At this moment, the second copper bell rang.
"Boom!"
The third sound.
"Boom!"
The fourth tone.
"Boom!"
The fifth tone…
The sound of the copper bell was eerie and cold, with a hint of solemnity in it, ringing and ringing continuously...
…
"Boom!"
The last sound of the bell dissipated, and Richard counted in his mind: "Thirteen."
Thirteen! Thirteen bronze bells!
Richard frowned.
In the modern Western world, thirteen has always been a bad and taboo number.
The reason for this comes from the legend: On the 13th of Nisan (January in the Jewish Hebrew calendar, between March and April in the Western calendar), Jesus had dinner with his disciples before his death. There were a total of 13 people attending the dinner - Jesus and the Twelve Apostles. The 13th person attending the dinner was Jesus' disciple Judas. He sat in the 13th seat. Later, he betrayed Jesus for thirty silver coins and let Jesus suffer. All torture.
Another number that is also taboo in the West is "666".
According to legend, God took 7 days to create the world. A week is 7 days. 7 is perfect, while 6 without 1 is imperfect. Three imperfect 6s together are extremely imperfect, evil, a great contempt for God, and Satan!
Although there are no major religions or legends about God in the current world, numbers such as 13 and 666 are also considered unknown - 13 represents death and 666 represents darkness.
Richard was very surprised why the White Stone Tower suddenly struck the number 13 with a copper bell.
Just as he was wondering, Richard noticed that all the students reading in the library stood up, stretched their necks and looked outside the library. The next moment, they all ran out, as if something big had happened.
This is!
