Nina looked at Mutt thoughtfully and began to explain in a low voice:
"Hope and despair are the two opposites of things. They are opposites and unified, and the unity of opposites.
A long time ago, the Guardian Tower of Melson Stone existed. It was a relic of the ancient people. There were fragments of hope there. The light emitted by the fragments can calm the surrounding beasts and protect the tower with the center as the center.
security of the area.
However, the fragment cannot function alone. It must be protected by a guardian in order to exert its proper performance.
The White Dragon God you saw and destroyed is the guardian of that fragment.
The guardian has the duty to protect the fragments. While performing this duty, he will also be blessed by the fragments and gain near-eternal life. However, the blessing and eternal life will gradually eat away at the guardian's mind, driving the guardian crazy, and eventually even his appearance will be lost.
Change and turn into a monster. This is the curse that the guardian must bear after getting the fragment and having an almost eternal life. Before he turned into a monster and became like that, the White Dragon God should have been another creature.
"
"A curse?" Mutt muttered in a low voice.
"I have visited the Guardian Tower of Melson Stone, and I know that you must have fought with the White Dragon God." The black rabbit girl looked at the cat boy, "I don't know how you defeated this
You should have the immortal body of the White Dragon God, but you did it. Then there is only one possibility left. The guardian of the fragment is no longer the White Dragon God, and the fragment of hope has chosen a new guardian.
"
"Is this really possible?"
"In extremely rare cases, yes, it is possible." The black rabbit blinked, her blood-red rabbit eyes looking a bit strange in the dark night: "As I said, fragments of hope
It will continue to eat away at the guardian's mind and give the guardian nightmares. The guardian whose mind is eaten away will gradually be swallowed up by madness, become a monster, and become dehumanized. This process varies from person to person and is greatly affected by the guardian's own will.
relationship. When the current guardian's mind has collapsed to a certain extent and is deemed to be no longer capable of guarding the fragments, the fragment of hope may select a suitable person from among the newly encountered people to succeed the guardian.
responsibilities. The old guardian will be abandoned, further plunged into madness, and killed. The new guardian will have his mind slowly eaten away by the fragments, continuing the cycle."
"This harmful thing has not been destroyed or sealed, and has always existed." Mutt hummed: "The Melson Stone group actually sacrificed one person to keep the entire town alive. Their prosperity and stability
It’s built on the pain of others. It’s so selfish.”
"However, this is how they have survived for dozens and hundreds of generations." Nina blinked again: "The cat people are not a very powerful race, nor do they have particularly powerful abilities to deal with Warcraft. There is no guardian.
Without the protection of the tower, they simply could not settle down in Melson Stone with peace of mind, so the sacrifice of the guardians became necessary. But the sacrifices of the guardians would not be in vain. The guardians alone had to fight against the curse of the fragments of hope, and their
The spirit will break down quickly. Later generations used witches for this reason."
"Miko?"
"He is the person responsible for guarding the Guardian." The black bunny girl fiddled with her rabbit ears uncomfortably: "During her term of office, the witch can use a special secret method to synchronize her spirit with the Guardian. Synchronize.
Afterwards, the witch will share part of the guardian's burden and curse, making the process of the guardian's mental collapse slower."
Hearing this, Mutt suddenly guessed something: "And that witch is Rufu's mother, right?"
"You are right." Nina sighed: "It was because of that opportunity that I met little brother Rufu. His mother was supposed to take on the responsibility of a witch and continue to protect the guardian.
Mind, to avoid the tragedy that happened that day at Melson Stone. But Auntie seemed to have suffered a huge mental blow that night. As a miko, she could not keep her mind calm, so the White Dragon of the Guardian Tower lost control that night.
.What exactly happened that night? Was it because you sent Brother Rufu’s body back to Melson Stone so that Auntie could see it and be shocked? Or was it because of other reasons?”
Mutt did not reply. Perhaps the real reason that caused the White Dragon God to lose control, cause the light of the Guardian Tower to disappear, and then lead to the destruction of the Melson Stone was his words to Rouf's mother that night.
Every time I think about this, the cat boy feels an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"Don't you know anything?" Nina, the black bunny girl, sighed again: "Forget it. Let's not mention it for now. There is one thing that I am very concerned about."
"Um?"
"I have also said that since Lord White Dragon God has been killed, it means that the responsibility of [Guardian] has most likely been transferred. I was not there at the time and I don't know what happened. I would like to ask
I’m asking those of you who were there at the time. Do you have any clue? Have you seen anyone who became the new guardian?”
A drop of sweat broke out on the forehead of the cat boy: "You ask me that, so do I."
"Please, please try to think back." Nina approached Mutt and continued to ask: "There were tens of thousands of residents in the Melson Stone at that time, and the scope of influence of [the fragment] was very huge, and there were no clues at all.
It is impossible to find the new [Guardian] selected by the fragment. You must have seen the fragment react to someone nearby. If you have seen something strange, it will be much easier to determine who the new guardian is.
."
"But what exactly is the [strangeness] you are talking about?"
"Simply put, the fragment will select the most [desperate] people within its area of influence to become its guardians. People who are in great pain, people who are on the verge of death, the aura of [desperation] emanating from them
The stronger it is, the easier it is to become the target of [Fragments]. After all, no one wants to die. If you know that you are about to die, and you can be saved by becoming the guardian of [Fragments], people will even sell their souls.
"
The cat boy frowned, as if he had realized something.
"Have you thought of anything?" Nina asked.
"No, I can't remember anything." Mutt replied: "But I will try to recall it. If I think of something, I will tell you."
"It's such a pity." The black rabbit girl sighed: "The situation is obviously very urgent and cannot be delayed any longer."
"Huh? Why?"
"As I said before, from the moment a person is chosen as a [Guardian], his spirit will be eroded by fragments of hope. Nightmares will gradually catch up with him, pollute his mind, and drive him crazy.
The new guardian is still without a witch to protect him, and his mind will only be eroded more seriously."
"But isn't it aunt?"
"Little brother Rufu's mother is the witch of Lord White Dragon God, not the witch of the new guardian. She has no contractual relationship with the new guardian, so she cannot support the spirit of the new guardian."
"That's it." Hearing this, the cat-man boy felt a little uneasy: "Without the witch, what would happen if we just let the situation go unhandled?"
"I don't know. Now the people in Great Britain have taken [the fragment] away. In exchange, they agreed to let the cat people from Melson Stone immigrate to Great Britain. At least the cat people will not be in danger again for the time being." Black
The bunny girl once again rubbed her long furry ears uncomfortably: "I don't know how Great Britain preserves the [Fragment]. When the [Fragment] and the [Guardian] are far apart, it is difficult for them to do so."
I don’t know if [Guardian] will have any impact. There is too little information available.”
"Uh." The cat boy stuck out his tongue.
"But it's still worrying." The black bunny girl rubbed her ears harder: "The new guardian is like a new guardian. We don't know when it will explode or whether it will explode. We even don't know if it will explode."
I don’t know where he will explode. Wouldn’t it be terrible if the spirit of the new guardian is still eroded, and he suddenly becomes crazy, turns into a monster, and attacks people around him in a short period of time. What if he happens to be from the immigration area of Great Britain?
Where's one of those cat people?"
"Have you ever talked to people in Great Britain about this?" Mutt then asked: "It would be better to let them know about this incident and take precautions."
"It seems from their reactions that they have known something for a long time." Nina pouted and pretended to be angry: "I don't know what those old foxes in Great Britain are planning. I only know that they must be up to no good, lest they
There will be no chaos in the world."
The cat boy was silent again.
"Okay! We have nothing to talk about anymore! Dad, get out of here!" Over in the living room, Patriarch Roble and Albert also started to quarrel fiercely, and Albert even issued an eviction order: "
You don't need to take care of my affairs at all. If you continue to be verbose, you are a ghost! Get out of here, get out of here!"
"Who wants to worry about you if you have nothing to do? Do you think I am free?! But if you continue like this, it will only discredit us in the Dawn Region. Can I just let you go? Let me ask you, what do you want?
Don’t you want to come back to the Shuguang area? Don’t just play all day and not do your job!”
"Hey," hearing the quarrel in the living room, Nina knew that the conversation could no longer continue. The black bunny girl sighed and said to the cat boy: "It seems that I have to leave too. I just told you
I'd like to trouble you to repeat everything I said to that stupid tiger. Maybe he has seen something and can provide some clues. Then goodbye, little brother Rufu's brother."
"I actually"
"Shh." The black bunny girl put her finger on the cat boy's mouth to stop Mutt from continuing: "No matter who you think you are, let's take it all seriously. If you don't think so, it's really too much."
Sad."
The stunned cat boy did not reply, but looked stupidly at the retreating figure of the black bunny girl. In the darkness of the night, in the noise of the tiger father and son, in a state of confusion and confusion.
