As soon as he said his plan, Lin took back the Khan and hung it on his belt. He picked up Ezio and flashed to the bottom of the cliff, where Marin might have fallen. Fen followed him immediately.
The dense forest under the cliff is green and full of vitality in this spring. The twigs that have just sprouted and the leaves that have grown back after winter are countless signs that everything in the forest is bursting with vigorous vitality.
Resurrection in winter.
It is precisely because of this that it causes trouble for someone's detection results. It means that Lin's previous use of arcane eyes was mostly for urban environments. Such an environment conforms to the most basic law, that is, everything in cities and towns
It is the core requirement for "people" to use it.
But there are no such restrictions in the woods. Everything you see is growing densely, competing for a little living space in the gaps. The living creatures living in it are also large and small, some are burrowed in the soil, and some are crawling on the ground.
, jumping from trees and flying in the sky. These are all interfering with someone's detection methods.
If the person who fell was an adult, it might be easier to find such a target. But the person who fell was a preschooler, and in someone's impression, Marlene was thinner and smaller than children of the same age.
It looked like it had been malnourished for a long time. And creatures of this size and class accounted for most, if not everywhere, in the forest.
As if the former Demon King had given up thinking, as soon as he appeared behind someone, he asked directly: "How do you want to find someone?"
"Well, let's get some light first." Lin pointed with his hand, and with himself as the center, the area within a radius of ten meters suddenly lit up.
The brightness is comparable to the daytime under the bright sun, and unlike ordinary light spells, which have a clear light source. The biggest feature of the bright light spell performed by Lin is that there are no shadows! Light comes from all directions, illuminating everything. This ability,
It's not something that ordinary magicians can do. Even if Fen wants to do the same thing, he can't do it as easily as someone else.
The biggest advantage of having the surroundings lit up is that you can see more things clearly. Although Lin and Fen both have abilities similar to dark vision, they will inevitably lose some possible clues.
But even if it lit up, Lin looked left and right, but couldn't see why. He wasn't even sure where he was, whether it was the place where Marlene fell.
After all, Ezio's memory is not an objective fact, but his subjective perception. This means that if he misunderstood or remembered it incorrectly from the beginning, then the message transmitted through Haggiri Khan would also be wrong.
. This is the limitation of memory.
Understanding the confusion and urgency in someone's mind, Haggiri said in a rare voice: "If you don't know where to start, how about asking Scott to help?"
Scott, a member of the Haggiri clan. A short sword. It is best at warning the wielder when a crisis is approaching. This feature is quite popular among some weak tribes, but since
After it fell into the hands of a group of people from the Holy Sword Society who claimed to be strong, it has been left out in the cold.
When Scott Haggiri was summoned into the hand by someone using the Flash Technique, it still maintained its original appearance. The thin arc-shaped blade like a willow leaf glowed with silver light. In addition, the cross sword was wrapped with leather.
The handles are all ordinary and do not show any special appearance. It can be said that from the appearance alone, this is an ordinary weapon.
But this initial appearance immediately changed in Lin's hands. In the past, for the Haggiri clan, larger size meant that they had more abundant energy reserves; smaller size meant that they were weaker.
Because smaller boxes require more energy to displace more mass of matter to make them larger; conversely, reducing the size is effortless.
However, today's Hakakiri no longer suffers from the limitations of energy reserves, and of course size is no longer a constraint. So when someone gets the Hakakiri Scott, he gets rid of the past concepts and keeps shrinking.
.Finally shrank into a small round bead in the palm of your hand, about the size of a fingernail.
Because Lin was in direct contact with Khan and Scott, the three consciousnesses were connected. There was no need to say anything more about this operation. But as a bystander, Fen didn't understand a box-cutting weapon and shrunk himself into a bead.
What's the purpose?
Just when he wanted to ask a question, he saw the ball in Lin's palm flying up at lightning speed! Moreover, it also brought out colorful mist of light along its flight path. In an instant, it covered ten square meters.
All the areas within a range of several meters were bypassed. The evidence is that the colorful light mist almost occupies the entire space.
Khan first said: "You slutty guy, don't tell me that you have been going around like this for a long time without finding any clues. Then I will despise you for the rest of my life."
"How could I have no clues? Humph, please call me Scott Holmes from now on. Come and take a look here." Scott froze in mid-air, spinning in place, constantly expanding the scope of the colorful mist.
, so that everyone can clearly see its location.
A short distance away, Lin didn't want to waste time and grabbed Ezio and flashed over. Fen also made the same choice. After the three of them arrived at the location indicated by Scott, they looked up and saw signs of broken branches.
, and the shape of the crown is also somewhat unnatural.
Scott said: "This should be the trace of falling. Then -" the ball instantly ran to another location below, spinning around to mark it, "- there was fresh blood stains here. At least within a day.
."
As soon as he heard there was blood, Fen walked over without hesitation. The location pointed by Scott was a low bush, and one of the bare branches was stained with bright red thick liquid.
If it were placed on Earth, I am afraid that the liquid sample would have to be sent to the laboratory for comparison before it would be possible to determine who or what the source of the red liquid was. But Fen, as the master of biogenetics in the Lost Land, of course has a complete set of related magic.
.
I saw her hands forming seals, constructing a small magic formation in the air, and looking at the blood on the branches. A flash of light flashed in Fen's eyes, and she said: "This is indeed what Marlene left."
Wrong." As for the sample issue, Fen once treated Marlene, so there should be relevant information available for comparison.
Lin didn't question it any more. He understood Fen's ability. After finding the clue, a group of people followed the trail. However, what made people worried was that the person Scott ordered to track was not Marlene.
The blood stains left on the road, or the traces of the little girl struggling to leave the forest, are the tracks of wild beasts.
This time, Lin did not use the flash technique to move forward, but followed Scott, walking step by step. With every step forward, the three people who thought of certain possibilities were also tortured.
, and it is getting heavier.
At the end of the trail, there was indeed a scene that no one wanted to see. Several wild dogs were surrounding each other, lowering their heads and chewing on something.
When Lin saw this, he shouted: "Hey!" and drove away the wild dogs. Then he pressed the sword with his hand, and Scott, in the form of a sword pill, flew forward and passed through several wild dogs in an instant.
On his forehead, the colorful light mist was like a ribbon, drawing a fatal trajectory connecting the wild dogs in the air.
Everyone only listened to the continuous sound of "poof". The wild dog didn't even have a chance to whimper and died directly.
However, the next scene, even those who thought they were accustomed to the cruel environment of the Lost Land, were still shocked and speechless.
A small body that had been eaten to pieces. It was unclear whether the clothes on the body were torn when falling off the cliff or by wild dogs. There were two big holes for the eyes, and the eyeballs were long gone. The internal organs were torn apart.
He was dragged out and spread messily on the floor. His hands and feet were unnaturally bent, and his bones were chewed out.
At this moment, Ezio broke down and cried.
Lin tentatively asked the person next to him: "Is there any hope?"
Fen shook his head.
Then he asked: "What about the resurrection technique?"
The always cold and beautiful face also showed a trace of pity at this time. After thinking for a while, Fen shook his head firmly and said: "Resurrection is not used on children. For adults, they have enough money to do it."
Ignore the side effects; but for the child, resurrection is like a curse. It just gives her more torture."
The discussion between the two adults was very quiet, and it was not helpful. Ezio had already crawled to Marlene's side crying, picked up the lifeless remains, and kept saying: "I'm sorry."
It is desolate, and everyone who hears it is sentimental.
At this time, Fen Ruo felt something. She nodded slightly, walked forward, and shouted: "Don't cry. I can let you say goodbye to Marlene for the last time. She also wants to say something to you. You want to hear it."
? If you want to, stop crying."
When Ezio heard the words, he immediately stopped talking. His nose was full of tears, and he looked at the original lich who spoke dreamily.
Fen didn't make any big movements, just curled his fingers. A pale blue transparent figure rose faintly from the remains of the body.
That was the most beautiful appearance of Marlene in her own memory. She looked at her hands in disbelief, at the boy whose eyes were red from crying, and at the two magicians standing behind Ezio.
.
She was confused for only a moment, then she put on a smile, stretched out her right hand, and said: "Ezio, I kept my promise and picked the little yellow flowers." Then she found that there was nothing in her hand, and she was disappointed again.
"I really picked it up, I just don't know where it fell," he said.
Ezio forced a smile and said, "I know, I saw you picking small yellow flowers."
"Really. That's great." Marlene was happy for a moment, but then said a little disappointedly: "It's just that I can't seem to do anything to play with you anymore."
Hearing this, Ezio burst into tears again and kept saying: "I'm sorry."
Marlene smiled and said: "I just wanted to tell you, don't say sorry to me. I like Ezio the most, he is handsome and he treats me well. I still remember that day, you took me
The day I came back, I remember being held by you and seeing you from below. That was the first thing I remembered. Every day after that, I lived a very happy life with you.
This period of time is the happiest day in my life. So please don't say sorry to me, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for bringing me back that day."
What qualifications do you have to say these three words for the rest of your life! How old are you...
Someone's complaint was left unsaid, because Lin could tell that the little girl's time in the film was indeed running out. Her figure kept changing, as if she would disappear in the next moment.
Marlene was also aware of this. Looking at her hands that had disappeared, she felt no fear or fear at all. Instead, she seemed to accept everything, comforting the still sad boy, and said: "Don't cry anymore, Ai
Gio. I like your normal appearance the most, leading a group of people and doing things that many people can't do. Ezio is the most handsome like that, so I have always wanted to play with you. But now
I can’t do it anymore, so please don’t forget me, okay?”
The speechless boy just nodded his head desperately and reached out to catch the last image of the girl. However, the smile could not be left, and only Marlene's last voice was heard: "Goodbye. Finally, I can
I'm so happy to talk to you."
When the girl disappeared completely, only a heartbreaking cry remained in the supposedly peaceful forest.
Lin no longer struggled with why he failed to save the girl. Instead, he took off his ordinary linen burqa, took the body from Ezio, and wrapped it tightly. He roughly picked up the still crying child.
, said: "Remember today's lesson. You should treat everyone more gently and treat every word you say carefully."
Ezio, who was pulled up, looked at someone subconsciously. Lin also knew that this was not a good time to preach, because this kid couldn't listen at all, and he was not in the mood. He could only say: "Let's help Marlene make it first."
A grave. Then go home."
Ezio nodded.
It was night, and I didn't see someone in the attic room. I thought about it and used the flash technique to go to Marlene's grave. That was the small platform where Ezio and his small group had their daily activities. Yes.
Buried here because Fen thought Marlene would want to stay in such a place.
The scenery that can be seen from this small platform is beautiful, including the sunset, the forest, and Ezio and the others' daily exercise. If these children do not change their positions in the future, there is nothing that Marin wants to see this night.
Among the group of friends, there was only one lonely person, standing quietly looking at the sea of trees under the moonlight.
Of course, Lin was fully aware of Fen's appearance. But he did not look back and just said: "I really didn't expect that there are people who are so afraid of loneliness among those children."
"There are all kinds of people. If you don't get in touch with them, you won't meet them."
Listening to the anti-otaku declaration made by a certain original lich, someone felt extremely harsh, but could not refute it. Lin had no choice but to change the subject and murmured: "Am I too indifferent to those children? Maybe I should care more about them.
?”
"Don't be stupid." Fen poured a bucket of cold water on it without hesitation and said, "The problem with you is that you do things too extreme. Either you are indifferent or you give everything you have. But what those children need is not you. Well, strict
For example, if you can keep them warm and hungry, that's enough. The only people who can help them grow are each other."
"I am just a tool person. And the path of life is either a dead house or a dog licker. There is no third way to choose." Lin looked back at Fen and complained.
"Yes. Otherwise, tell me, what else can you do?" Fen finished sharply criticizing, and then said gently: "If you ask me, you can just be the same as before, don't make any changes."
After that, she stood next to someone. Then she said: "Unless you plan to have your own children and change your mind. If you just want to use them as a substitute and they are dispensable, then don't do it."
What a change.”
Suddenly Fen came up with a prank idea and said jokingly: "How about giving birth to a child and really trying to be a father? I can't help, but you should also know what will happen to your two apprentices until now."
What are you thinking?"
With a shudder, someone suddenly became frightened, shrank his neck, and said nonchalantly: "Forget it, just like before, it's fine."
