Unexpectedly, after hearing Aranza's words, Kalu's strong body suddenly knelt down on one knee, like a huge stone hitting the ground. The dark earth was shaken by his kneeling, and even Aranza couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He shook his steps. Karu lowered his head as if he was guilty, as if he had done something that made him very guilty. But the head covered with black animal hair covered the expression on his face. No, maybe at this moment, he felt that he had lost half his soul.
As far as Carew is concerned, he is really accepting the crime.
Carew's behavior made Aranza dumbfounded. At the same time, a touch of sadness grew uncontrollably. He put away the Silent Blade, waved his hand towards Carew, and explained: "Well, get up, I was just joking.
…Don’t worry.”
A wind of unknown origin hung in the realm of silence. On the dark hillside, a future king knelt down on one knee to another king, but what filled the heart of the other king was not pride, but
apology.
"Well, don't be stunned, get up quickly."
Seeing that Carew was motionless, Aranza had no choice but to walk over and pull him up with difficulty. However, although Carew stood up again, his beast-like eyes showed confusion again. He seemed unable to understand why Aranza not only did not punish him
, but he still said such words.
Aranza saw the meaning in Carew's eyes and couldn't help but sigh quietly. Sure enough, time cannot be reversed. Aranza suddenly missed the days when she and Carew fought side by side on the battlefield, but Aranza knew in her heart that no matter how he
No matter how hard we try, no matter how we try to change, those years of struggling in the flames of war will never happen again. How can a cracked mirror be put back together as it was before? Even if the same plot does happen one day, we can only
What is right is wrong.
"Huh?...Wait!"
At this time, Aranza suddenly shouted to herself: "This guy can still move!"
He likes to talk to himself more and more recently. It's no wonder that Kalu can't speak, and he and Longlong can only communicate through their souls. Aranza was almost driven crazy by this silent atmosphere, and she could only talk to herself occasionally.
You can vent your thoughts by talking to yourself, at least you won’t forget the mainland lingua franca unknowingly.
At this moment, Aranza was already standing in front of the black shadow that was crushed just now. It was an ordinary skeleton that had been smashed to pieces by a pillar from Karu. But just now he actually saw the broken hand bones of this skeleton.
It moved suddenly. For this reason, Aranza could not help but lean down and take a closer look at the skeleton. If at other times in the Silent Realm, Aranza was walking aimlessly on the road and suddenly saw such a broken body on the roadside.
The skeleton must not be strange. But now, Aranza is full of curiosity about this skeleton.
Not only because its broken hand bones can still move, but other than that, it is so ordinary!
This is a female skeleton. Based on the size of the bones, its actual height should be a little lower than Aranza. Judging from the bones scattered on the ground without any impurities, this skeleton has almost no equipment, let alone
It will have more decent armor or helmets like those on the Black Knight or Skeleton Lord.
The only thing that stood out among the pile of bones was a crude short axe, which was broken by a pillar from Karu just now. This is the most commonly used equipment by the skeletons in the Silent Domain.
If Aranza walks down this hill, you can see a lot of low-level skeletons holding such short axes.
However, it is precisely because of this that Aranza is curious. You must know that the skeletons that can resist the attraction of the forest dragon's surging vitality and attack Aranza and Carew are at least high-level skeletons at the Black Knight level, and
This was the first time Aranza had seen this low-level skeleton that gave up chasing the forest dragons and instead attacked them. Moreover, what Aranza couldn't understand was that neither he nor Karu realized that this skeleton was
When did it get close?
Aranza tried to reach out and push the skeletal hand bone that was trembling twice just now, but found that the hand bone seemed to have become dead and no longer moved.
"Um……"
Aranza simply squatted down, stretched out one hand to drag his chin, and grabbed the skeleton's hand bone with the other hand and shook it casually. He thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered the rules that certain forces in the Silent Domain cannot be dispersed, and said
: "Well, big man, come here and help me. Let's put it up and see if it can still move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aranza went straight to work, replacing the bones of the skeleton's hand with the bones of the arm. Then he grabbed the somewhat dirty skull of the skeleton and put it on its spine without saying a word.
He guessed correctly.
It seemed possible that the skeleton could still move, because when Aranza connected one bone to another, the joints miraculously stuck together instead of falling off as they would normally.
This time, Carew did not misinterpret Aranza's meaning, and squatted down to help assemble the skeleton's body, although he seemed to have forgotten what the standard structure of a skeleton was. There were many places Carew handled, and Aranza had to do it.
Re-separate the misaligned bones and put them back into their correct positions.
But this did not affect the assembly process. In a short time, the two of them completed this seemingly meaningless project.
"Ha ha!"
After installing the last bone, Aranza screamed with joy like a child playing with a toy. He stood up and clapped his hands. He was satisfied with admiring this masterpiece that took more than ten minutes and said, "Well, it's finally installed."
!”
Aranza seemed to have completely forgotten why he assembled the skeleton. Looking around the skeleton, he felt that the only thing he regretted was that a pillar from Carew had just smashed part of the skeleton.
It was smashed, and more places were covered with cracks, making the skeleton look very inferior. But as of now, it seems that the missing parts should not affect the normal activities of the skeleton.
"Click!"
Suddenly, to Aranza's surprise, there was a sound of twisting joints in the skeleton that had been dismantled and put back together again!
It actually really "came alive"!
The skeleton first twisted its head, and its black eyes seemed to really be able to see things. When it turned its head and saw Aranza and Carew, the twisting head stopped slightly, as if it had been stimulated by something, and it was missing several points.
The jaw bone of the tooth clicked against the upper teeth.
Then, the skeleton stood up tremblingly, and gray-white bone powder fell from the cracked areas on the bones as it moved. It first cautiously took two steps back to distance itself from Aranza and Carew.
, but before retreating far, it stopped again, as if in a daze, and then hurriedly ran back to the original place. It turned out that in its hurry, it accidentally dropped its axe.
The series of movements of the skeleton made Aranza laugh. But at the same time, Aranza also clearly realized that this skeleton was obviously different from other skeletons. Other skeletons, to put it simply, are just a combination of energy. They can only
It operates by instinct; and the skeleton in front of her gives Aranza the feeling that every action is like a real person, and the sense of reality it gives Aranza is even better than that of Carew who lost half his soul.
More intense.
However, no matter how Aranza activated his soul induction, he still could not find any traces of soul on this skeleton - soul, which is a common characteristic of real living beings.
Perhaps, it is an existence similar to the tree people, Aranza thought in her heart, but quickly rejected this idea. Obviously, the dead-like rules of the Silent Domain are definitely not suitable for the long-lived tree people. Likewise, it is not suitable for the tree people with long vitality.
Probably a life similar to the tree people.
But the more he couldn't understand it, the more Aranza felt. Unintentionally, he seemed to have encountered a stone hidden in the realm of silence that could change the fate of this place.
So, Aranza shook her finger at the skeleton who was holding the ax and circling them step by step, looking for an opportunity to attack, and said: "Well, stop your stupid behavior, if you don't want to be taken apart again."
, it’s better to be honest.”
Aranza was not sure whether the skeleton would understand what he said. At least in the Realm of Silence, other skeletons had always ignored Aranza's similar threats. However, what surprised Aranza was that after hearing Aranza's words, the skeleton
It actually stopped, but then, the skeleton suddenly stood motionless for more than ten minutes.
Maybe it was thinking, Aranza wasn't sure.
After a long time, the skeleton slowly turned around, ignored Aranza and Carew, and walked away with the sound of cracking joints.
Seeing this, Aranza curled up the corner of his mouth, turned to look at Karu, who was standing silently behind him, and said, "Well, big guy, let's follow him."
