Son of the Olden Days

Irene left Gray Screen at the end of the fall. It is said that she will hold a wedding in Dead Leaf Ridge next spring and become someone else's bride.

The night before she left, she suddenly went to the Tomb Watcher's hut and found Sol.

Saul originally thought she wanted a formal goodbye, but she didn't.

Irene pressed Sol on the chair, then sat horizontally in his arms, pulled Sol’s hands around her waist, she also hugged Sol tightly, her head lying on his shoulders, each other silent Speechless.

She still wears the dress that Sol gave her, and every time Sol sees this dress it is always washed clean, like new.

Suddenly Thor suddenly had an inexplicable sense of overlap in time and space.

As if they had returned to the cold winter day, he slept peacefully on her legs. She sat in his arms holding a fishing rod in one hand and flipping through the books half of Sol had read in one hand, with her leisurely calves dangling.

A long silence passed.

Irene stood up, put her hands behind her back under the candlelight, and unbuttoned her skirt very skillfully. Then the dress slipped down the shoulders, revealing a smooth and beautiful carcass.

The vigorous and firm body stretched gracefully, which Thor was once familiar with and deeply attached to.

"This...immoral. Ha~!" Saul was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said, after he finished speaking, he first smiled sadly. moral? Damn, this is such a **** word.

In the candlelight, Irene looked at Saul faintly and smiled.

"Yes, but morality is a shit, I only care about what I care about. At this moment, I only care about two things in my heart, one is that I want to remember you, and the other is that I want a child of you. "

"I calculated the time. Today is a good time. If I can be lucky enough to be pregnant, I will take the time to give birth to him, and then raise him up. It has nothing to do with you."

Saul opened his mouth slightly, his mind was in confusion, and he couldn't think of what response to give.

Irene took Saul's head, pressed it against her chest, and looked down at him tenderly.

"Come on, you are never the kind of cringing person."

In the end, Saul put his arm around her leg, turned and threw her on the bed.

"...A little deeper...Let me remember you forever." A sad and crazy whisper resounded in the darkness.

That night, lingering and fighting until dawn, even though he was as strong as Thor, he would break his sword and sink into the sand.

When Sol woke up, Irene had already left.

In fact, she didn't leave either. She was squatting in front of Cowell's grave in the cemetery outside the house with her arms around her skirt.

"I'll see you, sister."

Originally, the tombstone was engraved in the style of Shuggs with only two words, "Beloved." Later, on the day when Irene and his family came to worship, Shuggs hurriedly pulled out the tombstone and turned it over. It became the tomb of Cowell.

Raising her hand to gently stroke the cold stone, Irene sighed slightly.

"I'm leaving, elder sister, um, alone. In this world, too many people are separated, too many people have not found the one who can be together, and there are too many people who may have found them but are not there after all. together."

On the day of seeing off, Saul and Shuggs both went, avoided Irene's parents, and finally found a chance to speak.

Sol and Irene smiled at each other and stood face to face.

"Thank you for being with me at your best age," Saul said.

Suddenly a violent wind raged, and the two of them were thrown into a wild dance.

From time to time, the wind from the wilderness rushed to the town and howled and ran away.

"Hehe, it sounds like I am about to become an old woman." Irene rubbed her eyes and said with a smile.

Saul habitually wanted to step forward to help her blow, but reached out his hand, only scratching his head in the end.

"Although I'm not together anymore, I think I will still keep an eye on you, maybe through a passing woodman or businessman, maybe through the birds in the sky or the wind that doesn't know where to go."

"If I suddenly hear the news of your death one day, I think I will still be sad for you. People like you... always make people feel uneasy." Irene smiled.

In the end they agreed to watch each other.

Maybe Saul won't wait, and Irene won't come back, but it doesn't matter. Since the parting is in sight, just pretend to believe it, who knows if this time is goodbye or never see again.

The carriage finally left.

"I always think that what you said is right. People like us will eventually face hardship in the end. Even those who are close to us will have bad luck."

"In the final analysis, the future of orphans is not worthy of scrutiny. Even if there are other possibilities, it may not be too much." Looking at the leaving carriage, Shuggs stood beside Sol with his hands in his arms.

"What the **** are you trying to say?" Saul tilted his head to look at him.

"I want to say... Now it's alright. I'm no longer the only one who has lost love. Now we are the same again." After finishing quickly, Shuggs ran wild.

"Damn it, draw your sword, only one person can live today." Saul chased away.

In a blink of an eye, there is no one left here, just like this story that has finally ended.

About him, about her, about them.

"Your eyes are as bright as the stars, and your hair is as soft as the waves. No matter how difficult the days, no matter where I go, it seems that you are by your side, making me fearless."

Irene leaned on the carriage window and hummed the "Goddess Ode" that Sol had taught her before. It is said that this was used to boost morale on the battlefield. Being fooled by that nasty guy again, this is obviously a love song.

An arrow-tailed rat passed through the gaps in the bushes, silently observing the carriages and caravans passing by, but it quickly lost interest because its limited intelligence told it it was unprofitable.

Slightly strange, it heard some strange sounds, and it seemed that someone was singing in the wind.

The singing is soft and sweet, drifting away...

——————

During this time, something happened in the town.

The first thing is that a group of guys wearing high-collared robes claiming to be magicians came to the town. It is said that they are from the Magic Guild branch of Niles Realm, and they come to screen folks with magic talents.

They set up a table on Green Square with a crystal ball on it and a silver coin test fee. Anyone can come forward to accept the primary test of the magic trial.

It is said that if someone has magical talent hidden in his body, he only needs to touch the crystal ball, and then the crystal ball will light up, and even the direction of his elemental affinity can be judged by the light color of the crystal ball.

Sol spent two silver coins to try it twice and pressed his hand on the crystal ball. Unfortunately, the crystal ball didn't respond. The facts proved that the gift of talent is really far away from him.

It wasn't his desire for magic. Saul was really concerned about survival-related general-purpose magic such as lighting and basic healing techniques. He didn't care much about attacking those.

The unwilling Saul stood in the crowd for a day, but until the group of guys settled down at night, Saul didn't see anyone who made the crystal ball light up.

He didn't even hear of anyone in Gray Screen lighting up the crystal ball until the group of guys in robes left the town with a full of silver coins three days later. In the end, Sol had to wonder if this was a new way of defrauding money.

The second thing is that the old magician who used to take care of the old in the new town came to Gray Screen. It is said that the old man suffers from amnesia in his old age, which is good and bad. He left two apprentices of magic before, and never came back after going out a certain time.

Unexpectedly, after a year or two, he was still alive, and it is said that there is a new home deep in the forest, but it seems that the new home was forgotten when this time of oblivion occurred.

For unknown reasons, he came to Gray Screen and settled down.

Two times Thor had run into him on the main street. Apart from his better clothes, he looked like a wrinkled old man from the outside.

Most of the people around him looked at him respectfully and distantly, but from his dull expression, Saul could not tell whether he was awake or wandering in oblivion again.

The third thing has a big impact.

It is said that on the side of the Yar Mine in the west of the small town, the mining labor and the two mercenary groups stationed there all died overnight. Later, the town sent people to investigate on the spot, but they did not find out the cause of death, nor did they find any traces of the enemy or fighting.

Gradually, some bad rumors are circulating in the small town, and it is inevitable that some people will bring up old things again.

The root of the incident may have been traced back many years. The resuscitation of bones is not an individual phenomenon unique to Gray Screen. In fact, this phenomenon has existed throughout the continent since the continent entered the dark calendar.

In all places where tombs are dense, skeletons will crawl out of the soil at dawn and wander around their tombs.

Initially, some folks who claimed to be scholars started researching this phenomenon, but the main force of the real research was still inside the magic guild, because those sleepless bones would eventually depend on magic to be purified and destroyed.

However, the Magic Guild itself did not have enough manpower to be able to send to various places at any time to specifically solve the problem of bones, so the research on bones gradually shifted to the aspect of medicine.

The magicians hope to develop a special potion to replace human hands to achieve the purpose of bone purification.

Later, there was no progress in the medicine for purifying the bones, but breakthroughs in other areas, a curse that was said to control the corpse to perform repeated labor behavior suddenly turned out.

As a result, this kind of curse has become very popular in the villages and towns of Gray Screen, which are based on mines and require a lot of labor.

After the dead corpses are coated with magic potions that prevent decay and emit odors, they can still be used to drive them to continue their long-term work, and they become free labor.

When this kind of curse first came out, it brought some turmoil, because the item of corpse recovery began to appear on the merchandise list of speculators.

This means that other people around you are beginning to become a hidden danger. Anyone can stabb you in the back and use your corpse to exchange for a few pieces of rye bread after searching for your belongings.

Later, the chaos was finally eliminated, and people gradually got used to it. No one wanted to make a fortune through the dead.

After all, killing is not an easy task, whether it is psychologically or physically, and maybe you will be the one to be counter-killed.

This ancient vice had lasted for many years before Mayor Elton took over the town of Grayscreen. In the mine, where the dead and the living work are separated, the dead are digging deeply, and the living are working in shallow layers.

After taking over, Elton did not change anything, perhaps considering that not everyone is willing to accept that their loved ones are still entangled in mundane affairs and work all day long.

Elton issued a decree to announce to the people:

"Except for those homeless people without relatives and unclaimed corpses in the violent wilderness, if anyone's relatives in the town dies, they can freely choose to put the dead relatives into the soil, or give the corpse to the town's labor force that expands to the mine.里. Correspondingly, the town will provide a certain amount of compensation."

Things continued like this.

It wasn't until recently that people died in the mine that this old thing was revealed again.

For a time, the whole town panicked.
