Demon King Priest Chapter 158: The unrealized dream
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the Demon King Priest II!
The loss of time gave people a strange sense of vagueness on this snow-fluttering street. Ulysses did not even see the sun in the sky once.
Unconsciously, seven days have passed.
In this gray-white street, Ayu is the only bright color. She always wears that red headband. Wearing a yellow coat, she appears on the other side of the street on time every day, and then happily Si ran over from where he was.
The snow-white pigeon has also been by her side. This bird, accustomed to the harsh northern climate, is not afraid of life at all, and even jumps on Ulysses's shoulder when Ayo is devoted to studying.
In these seven days, Ulysses also explored other areas of this town, forming a rough outline in his mind.
However, strangely, he couldn't enter in that direction from Yayuan. At the end of this street, some force prevented him from searching for Ayu's home. Obviously, you can see other people entering that area, but he absolutely can't get in.
Ulysses, who originally wanted to talk to Ayu's father, could only give up this plan and waited for Ayu's arrival every day in this place.
Ayu's ability to learn is amazing. In just seven days, she learned the 100 words needed to write a letter. Although every word is not neatly written and can only be regarded as barely learned, but her hard work is even worse than Ulysses, who had worked hard to take the priest exam.
That is a state of forgetting everything around and putting all the energy on learning. In order to communicate with her mother who was far away, Ayu had already used all her strength.
The snow next to the bench is scratched and scratched, and the thick snow will become completely unrecognizable in one day. Fortunately, the snowfall every night will restore it, and the next day it will become a natural calligraphy venue.
However, after the tenth day, that piece of snow was finally not enough. Ulysses took Ayu to the woods outside the town, where there was enough snow for her to practice, and to avoid other people's disturbance.
Although no one on the street dared to interfere with Ayu's study, the eyes of those people looking at Ayu were always strange when they walked by. To be safe, Ulysses finally decided to come here to continue teaching Ayu.
"Mum, hello, I am Xiao Ya." On the snow-white ground, Ayu wrote this simple greeting over and over again very seriously,
Ayu, who was out of the scope of Ulysses' thermostat, had large snowflakes falling on her body from time to time. It only took a short ten minutes to make her look like a little snowman.
Ke Ayu didn’t feel cold at all. She wrote this simple sentence again and again. After repeating it hundreds of times, she ran back to Ulysses and felt the warm temperature of thermostat. .
With her hands flushed with cold, she continued to breathe, trying to drive the chill out of her body. Practicing within the scope of thermostat is very comfortable, but if you want to write continuous sentences, snow is not enough.
Ulysses actually thought about asking Ayu to practice with paper, but after looking for it in this town, he was surprised to find that apart from a few books in the church, there was nothing in this town. It's a paper thing. The popularity of knowledge here is even poorer than he imagined.
The priest in the town is already very old, but his magic skills are quite low, and he can barely use the simplest healing technique. And this old man is already the most respected and respected elder in this town.
In this winter, this remote town seems to have been forgotten by the world. There was only one child left in the whole town.
There seems to be something wrong. If I hadn't noticed it at the beginning, Ulysses now has discovered the anomaly in this small town.
It is impossible for a small town with only one child to continue. This is a world that is slowly going to extinction, and the relationship between people is beginning to disperse.
The reason for this is a certain epidemic not long ago. In that disaster, all young children and frail women and old people died of the disease—except for Ayu.
Perhaps because of the vitality that Ayu possessed, she overcame the attack of the disease. However, after the epidemic ended, she was isolated by the people in the town. People who had lost their children and relatives looked at Ayu with strange eyes, unable to understand why she was the only one who survived.
In this era of underdeveloped knowledge, people always hold a kind of awe of the disaster of disease. In this cold winter, catching the disease is almost equivalent to hearing the call of death.
In this era, people think that this is a curse from the earth, as the sun rises and the sunset is a part of nature. So they have not been overthrown by the disease, and will continue their lives after the sadness has passed.
However, Ayu's survival broke the common sense that people know. After losing their children and relatives, they felt uneasy about Ayu who had survived alone in the epidemic. It was a fear of unknown territory.
Why, only her child survived?
Why, only she did not die after getting sick?
Why, even her mother died, can she continue to live?
All kinds of questions mixed together, and finally caused great indifference and suspicion. Ayu, who should have been cared for, lost not only his mother, but also the relationship with the people in the town.
Therefore, when she was crying alone, there would be no one to comfort her; therefore, her father had no choice but to tell her an impossible dream, and found a messenger who could entrust that dream.
The white wings represent freedom and the power to fly, and the dexterous body can go to any corner of this world. Ulysses did not know how Ayu's father got this spiritual northern snow pigeon, but it did bring hope to Ayu.
Time went by, and on the thirteenth day, Ayu finally had a vocabulary enough to write a letter. Although the handwriting is still very immature, it is enough for her to write a letter to express her little caution to her mother.
So on the morning of the fourteenth day, Ayu took the pen and paper that Ulysses had borrowed from the old priest in the town, and began to write all his thoughts on the letter paper word by word.
Ulysses did not read the letter written by Ayu because he knew it was destined to be received by no one. Ayu's mother is in a world that no bird can reach no matter how high it can fly. Even with this letter, the white pigeon cannot fly to the end.
"Mom will be surprised when she receives Xiao Ya's letter. I really want to let her see it sooner. Mom, why did you go so far away..." Ayu, who was completely absorbed in writing the letter, was filled with joy. The son is sad and lonely.
When she encounters a word that hasn't been written with confidence, she will redraw it with branches on the snow until she is sure that there are no errors at all.
After writing, Ayu checked it many times. This letter is so important to her, she carefully checked every word on it, for fear of a typo.
After all inspections were completed, Ayu showed an unusually cheerful smile, then folded the letter and placed it in a small wooden cylinder, plugged the cylinder with a few dry flowers, and then placed the cylinder. Tied to the feet of the white dove.
This series of movements is very fluent, apparently Ayu had practiced it many times before Ulysses knew it.
"Go, remember to send this letter to the place where mother is." Ayu folded his hands together and asked the pigeon in front of her wholeheartedly.
"..."
Ulysses patted the white dove's wings lightly, and then let it spread its wings in the palm of his hand and flew high into the air.
This is not the original intention of the white pigeon, but Ulysses used some magic on it, a little trick that is not worth mentioning.
The role of this magic is to "intimidate animals", and the role is to frighten weak animals. The white dove that was given this magic just flew into the air according to instinct to escape the dangerous breath.
"Ah, will my mother receive a letter from Xiaoya soon after I fly." Seeing the white dove flying to the sky, he jumped with joy.
"Maybe, so Xiaoya, you have to go back and wait, otherwise you may miss it." Ulysses looked at the gray sky, he was unwilling to lie to Ayu, he could only give such a vague answer. .
"Well, I will go home now. Dad also said that today he will give me a special gift related to my mother." Ayu happily waved his hand and turned around Ulysses. After several laps, he ran all the way to the end of the street.
"Uncle, goodbye, I will come to you to study again tomorrow." At the end of the street, Ayu smiled and said goodbye to Ulysses.
"Um..." Ulysses nodded.
Looking at Ayouna's back alone, Ulysses' heart ached slightly.
"Wow", the white dove that was stunned by Ulysses's magic fell from the air, with the cylinder **** by Ayu himself.
This is a matter of course, this northern snow pigeon has nowhere to go. The snow pigeons that can be used to deliver letters can only be qualified for the task of sending letters after they have been trained. How could this ordinary snow pigeon, who had obviously not undergone any training, send out Ayu's letters.
Furthermore, even the northern snow pigeons with the best training can not complete the task of sending the letter to heaven.
So Ayu's dream is absolutely impossible to complete. It is just a dream born out of a lie, a wish that will never be realized.
"Just stay with me for a while. If Xiaoya comes, you will hide in the woods." Stroking the wings of a white dove beside him, Ulysses hid the small cylinder.
