However, Ulysses did not wait for Ayu to arrive in this familiar place the next day. Until the setting sun went down, there was no such petite figure on the street that was always coming over here out of breath.
Ulysses stood alone in the dark shadow. There was no sunlight in the sky, and the gray sky continued to the side of the horizon.
Why didn't you come? Ulysses sat on the bench, Ayu's white pigeon landed on his shoulder, curiously watching him who had been sitting still.
The streets are lit up with sporadic lights. In this cold winter night, people who have just survived a catastrophe continue their lives in their own ways.
The old man and the child have passed away, but they are still alive. The foundation for the existence of this town is still there. As long as they wait for the winter to end, they can start a new life.
At that time, there will be new children and new families. People have become accustomed to silently accepting such unexplainable disasters as the epidemic, because they can't help it if they don't have the power.
And Ulysses, who belongs to the outsider, is an untouchable mysterious realm for them. The black wizard robe represents the power of magic, even if someone occasionally sees it from the window and is sitting on a bench Ulysses, will immediately turn his head, and then carefully close the window.
The wizards of this era represent a class that they will never allow offense. No one dares to pretend, because in that way, powerful magic users will let the pretenders know that even death is a luxury.
The power of magic does not belong to mortals, and some wizards even claim that this power comes from the blood left by the ancient gods. And some paradoxical examples show that this argument is not unreasonable.
So they were afraid of Ulysses, but they never dared to offend him. Even if Ulysses was faintly teaching Ayu's precious knowledge, no one dared to take a closer look.
The power of magic is unquestionable. The power of magic is the blood of God, and the magician is the profession closest to the realm of God. The power of magic is mastered by a small number of elites and becomes the highest mystery. This is such an era.
"..." Ulysses did not leave, even if there was only a little hope, he wanted to wait for Ayu's arrival.
The lights went out one by one, and the darkness of the night began to cover the land, only a few fuzzy stars in the sky gave off a little light, so that the world was not completely swallowed by the darkness.
Ulysses closed his eyes, not falling asleep, but using magic meditation to restore his spirit. Now he is only at the level of a fourth-level light wizard, and every bit of mental power is very important.
The world slowly became quiet, and when the last light went out in this small town, there was almost no other sound to be heard.
What time is it? It could be a little bit, or it could be... Ulysses lost the concept of time after the darkness came. He only felt a little bit of light disappear and a little bit of deep darkness came.
"Da", in the silence that seemed to last indefinitely, a certain voice sounded softly.
Ulysses opened his eyes, and the white dove on his shoulders flew high and disappeared into the dark night sky.
The sound of "ta" being stepped down on the thick snow continued to sound. At the end of the street, in a field that Ulysses could not see and enter, a small figure was walking over.
Even in the dark, relying on the little blurry starlight in the sky, Ulysses could still see the girl walking by.
Beautiful red headbands, yellow coats, small backpacks without wings, and an embarrassing smile. That is the only girl he knows here, who will grow into an incredible power in the future. Girl Ayu.
"Sorry, I'm late." With such a slightly timid look, Ayou walked over step by step.
Huh? Ulysses felt a little strange. If it was the usual Ayu, wouldn't he run over with a "pop" and then get into his thermostat to get warm? How did you change **** today.
As elegant and stable as the ladies' class, it is not suitable for a lively and lovely girl like her. Seeing her slowly moving, Ulysses felt anxious for her.
"Hu", even though he walked slowly, Ayu who finally walked to Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, and then closed his eyes to enjoy the warm temperature around him.
"It's still comfortable here. Dad is out today. I have to stay at home and watch the house alone, but you know what happened." Ayu showed a very angry expression.
"Fell asleep?" Ulysses guessed a very likely answer.
"Uncle, how do you know..." Ayu looked at Ulysses in surprise, seriously suspecting that he was peeking.
"Because you love to sleep." Ulysses's answer was simple and clear. In his memory, Yayu would sleep for a while when he got the chance, and he had the ability to find a bed no matter where he was.
"Wait, the point is not the one, you know, dad actually forgot to buy food, so he left me alone, but there was nothing at home, which made me hungry all day, almost can only hide In the bed." Ayu who was seen through by Ulysses blushed and explained desperately, as if to tell the world that it was a matter of course for her to roll in the bed.
Ulysses smiled dumbly and stopped asking this question. Missing the appointed time because of oversleeping is a small mistake in the style of Ayo.
"And then, you will never know, dad actually asked me after coming back..."
Ulysses took out a few hot little things from his arms and used the magic of "Tempting Ayu".
"Carved Fish" Ayu's big eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't wait to bring the Carved Fish in Ulysses's hand over.
While Ayu’s attention was focused on Diaoyusha, Ulysses stretched out his index finger to face the sky and performed "animal threats" again, and confided a certain person because he was familiar with it. The white dove who flew back from his own natural fear while struggling to overcome his own natural fear was frightened back again.
In the sound of "pop" spreading his wings, the poor little guy fled directly to the sky above a kilometer.
"Ah...um...what are you doing, uncle?" Ayu, who gulped and ate the hot fish, looked at the sky with puzzled eyes, not knowing why Ulysses suddenly extended his index finger. Against the sky.
"I'm watching the movement of the stars." Ulysses is definitely not lying, because he really observes the movement of the stars—of course, this is just a casual glance.
"Uncle, do you even know the knowledge of stars." Ayu's eyes were full of admirable stars. For ordinary people living in the Northland, knowledge of astrology is a legendary mystery, and ordinary people may not be able to figure out the names of those stars for a lifetime.
"Well, what is shining here now is the virgin star, which represents the star of the pure girl." Ulysses pointed to the fuzzy star in the corner of the sky. In this winter night, it is quite a few. One of the stars still showing up in the sky.
"That, that one, that one?" Ayu pointed curiously at the brightest star at the end of the northern land.
"That's the Big Dipper...the star that represents the destination of the dead." Ulysses hesitated for a moment, and still told Ayou the name of the northern star.
Around the brightest star of the Big Dipper, there are six stars surrounding it. Together, they are the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the brightest star in the northern continent.
"Where did the people who died go? It must be far, far away." Ayu stared at the distant North Star, and bit the last carved fish.
"Cough..." Ayu seemed to be eating too quickly, and Ayu coughed out.
"Don't worry." Ulysses patted Ayu on the back, calming her body.
"Cough...cough...This time the carved fish is a bit salty." Despite this complaint, Ayu still ate the remaining carved fish. net. After the end, I haven't forgotten to lick my lips, and wiped all the debris left on my lips.
"Sorry, I didn't know that I bought salty this time." Ulysses felt a little sad. No matter what fillings are used in snacks like Diaoyuyao, it is a dessert in the final analysis. The salty taste appears because someone has mistaken the salt and sugar.
"It's okay. Although it's a bit salty, it's still delicious." Ayu wiped the corners of his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
"Do you want to continue studying next." Ulysses looked at the sky and found that the white dove showed no signs of returning, and asked Ayu casually.
"I won't practice calligraphy today. Uncle, I want to know something about the stars, can I tell Xiao Ya." Ayu's answer was a little unexpected by Ulysses. But considering Ayu's current age and thirst for knowledge, it is not surprising that he would want to know these things, especially after he just explained the meaning of Big Dipper.
"Yes, what story do you want to know about the stars?"
Although he lost the power to use the starry sky magic, the knowledge he had learned did not disappear in Ulysses’ mind. As an authentic starry sky wizard, he was confident to answer all Ayou’s questions about stars. problem.
"The stars related to the gods, the stars of the gods who can fulfill the wishes in the legend." Ayu's expression was full of expectation.
"Although it is considered a star, everyone usually calls it another name." Looking at Ayu who was full of knowledge, Ulysses couldn't help but remember when he first started studying astrology.
Actually, the observation and cognition of the starry sky is also one of the original origins of the church, especially the star that Ayou is now asking about is considered the greatest origin of the church, the representative of God.
"What's the name? Lala, Feifei?" Ayu said his guess.
"Hehe, in fact, you often see it, not at night. It is the sun, the strongest and most shining star." Ulysses pointed to the sky. Naturally, you can't see the sun at this time, but it's Glory is everywhere, and it can be said that there would be no human beings without the sun.
"The sun...Is it..." Ayu's eyes looked full of regret. She stared at the dark night sky, trying to find the sun's shadow from the stars.
Obviously, this is a completely different concept, even if the stars of the entire night sky combined are less than one-tenth of the real sun. If someone has only seen the stars since birth, it is absolutely impossible to imagine the greatness and brilliance of the sun from the characteristics of the stars.
So Ayu was disappointed. She gave a soft cough, then tapped her forehead, showing a mischievous expression to Ulysses."
"Grandpa Sun is not at home tonight, so Uncle, you tell me the stories of other stars."
"Okay." Seeing that Ayu's face was a little pale, Ulysses quietly raised the temperature of the thermostat technique around her, making her feel warmer.
"So comfortable, uncle, tell me many, many things." Ayu lay lazily in the arms of Ulysses, using his leg as a knee pillow.
Ulysses reluctantly accepted Ayu's act of acting like a baby. Tonight, Ayu looked extraordinarily sentimental. Maybe girls at this age will be like this for a few days.
…………
"So, that twin star appears to have only one on the surface, but it is actually two. The other one is hidden behind the first one. Only in special seasons can you see them together... …" Entering the state, Ulysses began to teach Ayu a little bit of the astrological knowledge he knew.
For the first time, he discovered that he would have such a sense of accomplishment by telling the knowledge he knew but others did not. Especially when the students are the children they are willing to teach.
Ayo was lying on Ulysses’ knees obediently, looking at him in class with a look of longing. However, it seemed that her energy was not so good, and her eyes narrowed slowly after listening for about half an hour.
"At that location, there is a star that cannot be seen now. It represents the oath..." Ulysses did not notice Ayu's rest, but continued to learn from himself. All of his knowledge is told.
When Ulysses discovered that Ayu had already gone to sleep, it was already an hour and a half.
"Ha... I didn't hear it later..." Ulysses, who found that he had done a lot of work in vain, sighed and knocked Ayu on the forehead.
"Xiaoya, get up."
"..." Ayu seemed to sleep so well that he still didn't wake up after being rewarded by Ulysses for three percussions.
"Really, it's not good to fall asleep like this. If you want to sleep, you can go back to sleep." Ulysses felt that tonight's study was almost over, and continued to tap Ayu on the forehead.
"Uncle, you hurt me." Ayu finally opened his eyes and looked at Ulysses who had awakened her with anger, only barely showing up.
"Who told you to be a little sleeper." Rarely, Ulysses wanted to make a joke of Ayu. Only in front of Ayu can he relax like this.
This is a world where only him and Ayu are alone, a space where two people are alone. Everything from the outside world cannot be invaded, just like a hidden secret garden.
"I'm not a sleeping bug." Ayu protested severely.
"Okay, you should get up, go back and have a good night's sleep, and come back to my class tomorrow. Don't forget, you just wrote a letter, and there are many things you want to write to mom." You Lisis said softly.
"Well, I still have a lot of things to tell my mother, and a lot of things to tell her. Mom, it's so far, so far." Ayu's eyes slowly became wet, and it looked like The expression to cry.
Not good, too much Ulysses found that there was a problem with his guidance, and now Ayu could not stand the stimulation at all.
"Uncle, before I go back, can you take me to a place." In the end, Ayu did not cry, but held back the tears and cast his eyes to the dark distance.
"Where?" Ulysses searched all the surroundings of this small town during this period, and found no strange place except that Ayu's home could not be entered.
Ordinary small towns, ordinary roads, ordinary snowy bushes, here is a small town that can be seen everywhere in the Northland, and there is no special place.
Even in the area where Ayu's home is located, Ulysses knew the general idea from the people in the town. There were no unidentified objects there, it was just a very ordinary residential area.
Ayo moved his finger and pointed at the distant mountains.
"There is a very high mountain over there. It is the highest mountain that everyone knows. The place closest to the stars. I want to go there and take a look. If it is so high, it will definitely be brighter. Stars, right, uncle."
"Yes." Ulysses knew the mountain, and because it was a commanding height nearby, he had gone up in his spare time. Although it is a bit difficult for the average person to climb, it is not a problem for him.
"I can't climb that high, can uncle hug me." Ayu's body seemed a little afraid of the cold, and he retracted into Ulysses' arms again.
"Hmm." Ulysses probably calculated the distance between the mountain and here and his current strength, and the result was no problem.
Although holding Ayu will consume more than half of his physical strength, it is obviously impossible for a child like Ayu to climb up with him. That mountain is a high mountain that even an adult can hardly climb.
In this way, Ulysses lifted Ayu's body by his waist and began to march towards the distant mountain in the dark.
It's incredible. After agreeing to Ayu's request, Ulysses could feel a power in his body being unblocked. That is the feeling of infinite power from the side of Astaroth, the realm of infinite desire.
The overall strength is still around level 4, but the recovery ability and endurance ability get an extraordinary leap. In the state of not fighting but holding Ayu forward, this strength is enough for him to defeat any mountain in this world.
Soon, the two left the town where Ayu lived. The town without a trace of fire has fallen into a complete sleep, and there is no sound of a dog barking. The forest outside the town that screamed in the night breeze seemed a bit weird, accompanied by the roar of unknown creatures and the hoarse birdsong of the night owl, making the night seem cold and lonely.
After walking through the woods, Ulysses appeared in front of a steep valley, and the valley was filled with gloomy fog. These mists quietly surrounded all the creatures, always sticking to them like an evil spirit that is not available for finding a place to rest.
In the dark night, the sticky and cold fog rises and falls like waves, chasing each other, like waves on a sinister sea. Most people who fall into this kind of mist will quickly lose their direction, and then even the body temperature will be taken away, and eventually they will die in fear.
This is one of the most common murderous weather in the northern land-deep cold fog. According to legend, this kind of fog is the incarnation of people who died in resentment. They will always appear on the coldest nights, and then take the lives of humans who dare to walk in the mountains on such nights.
In order to prevent the cold and humid mist from harming Ayu, Ulysses opened a shield of light while using thermostat. Under the dual protection, no cold mist could Invade the two people's side.
The power of the domain of infinite desire gave Ulysses great support. Even if he now only has the strength of the fourth-level light wizard level, this incredible power can still bring extraordinary power.
After crossing several valleys shrouded in deep cold mist, Ulysses finally took Ayu to the bottom of his destination.
In all fairness, this mountain is not that high among the mountains Ulysses had seen. He once passed through the majestic Kalal Mountains and has seen countless majestic peaks.
However, for Ayu, this is obviously an unclimbable limit height. After seeing this mountain of several thousand meters high in the arms of Ulysses, she opened her mouth wide.
"Good...so tall..."
Ulysses shrugged, then hugged Ayu and started to move straight to the top of the unknown mountain.
Ayu, who was shocked, didn't make a sound anymore, but kept looking around with her big eyes, as if she wanted to write down everything around her.
Finally, under Ulysses' efforts, the two reached the top of the mountain together. This is a very narrow platform, about three meters wide and six meters long. In the center is a huge boulder that is as high as a person. There are still some words that are not clear. It seems to be a memorial left by people who have been here in the past.
"Cough..." Ayu coughed lightly again, then his gasping became heavy.
"Are you not feeling well." Ulysses thought she was not used to the air pressure here, after all, it was a bit higher for a child like her.
"It's just a small cold, because I kicked the quilt and I was told by my father." Ayu showed an embarrassed expression, then raised his head to look at the stars in the sky.
"Uncle, can I trouble you to let me down."
Ulysses put Ayu down very carefully, watching her every move nervously.
It seems that the stars in the sky gave Ayu strength, she stood up a little shaky, and then walked to the other side relying on the stone.
"Is there anything over there." Ulysses was about to follow.
"No, there is nothing strange, but I am a little embarrassed now that I don’t want my uncle to see it, and I’m changing my clothes now..." Ayu’s voice came from the side of the stone, vaguely still there. The rubbing of clothes untying.
Ulysses' face flushed suddenly, no longer moving his steps, but leaning on the rock opposite to Ayou.
Not long after, Ayu walked over wearing a red coat. The style of the clothes was similar to the yellow coat she likes to wear. It was obviously from the same series, and Ulysses smelled it from her. The smell of perfume.
It was a fragrance with a slight sweetness in the floral fragrance, which was a bit too adult for Ayu.
"How about it, is it a lot more beautiful." Ayou turned around, then fell into Ulysses' arms and acted like a baby.
"Really, don't worry me." Ulysses touched Ayu's head and let go of his heart.
Ayu sat down in Ulysses's arms, and her petite head was exactly where Ulysses' chin was.
It seems to be to warm her hands. She took the initiative to hold his hands and intertwined her hands. Soon Ayu’s slightly cold hands returned to normal temperature after changing clothes. .
"Uncle, look, the stars are really brighter." Ayu sitting in Ulysses's arms looked up at the night sky.
Because of the location, most of the clouds are under the two of them, so the originally blurred night sky is much clearer than in the small town, and many stars that were invisible before appeared in front of the two.
So the observatory built by the wizards always rises high. This is not for mystery, but for practical needs.
"There is the Gemini that Uncle just said, and there is..." As if to repeat everything Ulysses just taught, Ayu stretched out a hand and pointed out the names of the stars in the sky one by one. The meaning of representation.
Ulysses had to admit that Ayu was really a good student. Different from the confusion and clumsiness that she has shown in the future, the current Ayu has much more talent in learning than ordinary people.
No teacher would not like hard-working and studious students. Ulysses was very pleased to see Ayu learn all the things he taught.
Finally, Ayo pointed her finger at the star she asked first. It is the most northern star in the starry sky and can be used as a stray sign.
"Beidou, the star that represents the destination of the deceased, the star that the dead go to, far, far away, where my mother is."
"Well, everything is correct, Xiaoya, you..." Ulysses was about to praise Ayu who was a good student, but when he realized what Ayu's last words meant, his voice stopped abruptly. .
She, got it? Know where her mother is going?
As the child grows up, this kind of well-intentioned and unreasonable lie will sooner or later be exposed. Ulysses also believes that Ayu who has studied so hard will one day be aware of the truth.
But it can't be now. It was obviously yesterday that she happily put the letter she wrote into the cylinder, pinning all her hopes on the white messenger—the snow dove.
Today, she should be waiting excitedly for the white dove that represents her dream to deliver her letter. Since it is very far away, it is natural to wait for a while.
How long will it take to wait before giving up? Maybe it's a month or half a year. This time depends only on how long she misses her mother. As long as the longing doesn't disappear and the truth is not revealed, then hope will always be in her heart, and the white dove will always fly in the sky of her dreams, flying to that distant place.
"Hey, are you really taken aback, uncle?" Ayu took Ulysses' hand and drew many circles in his hand. This seemingly mischievous action could not conceal her sadness, Ulysses could already see the crystal clear liquid in the corner of her eyes.
"Actually, my dad told me when he came back tonight. He told me, who was waiting at home, that the place my mother was going to was heaven, a place far and far away and no living person could go."
"Not only mom, Xiaoyue from the neighbor's house, Aunt Mary, and Grandpa Dona went to that place. Everyone in the town who had the disease went to that place except me and never came back. ."
"So it's useless to write letters. It's useless to learn to write from your uncle. No matter how many letters you write and how many messengers you use, your mother won't be able to receive my letters."
"Mom, I'm dead, nowhere is there anymore." When she said this, Ayu cried sadly, big drops of tears fell from her eyes, diminishing the smell of perfume on her body.
"Dad told me that it’s not right to learn knowledge from people like uncles. Knowledge can be obtained at a considerable price. Uncles in black have powerful powers that ordinary people can’t have. It comes from The power of magic, so uncle is someone I shouldn’t be near."
"Dad also said that he is ready to go to the place where his mother is. In this way, he can be with his mother again, and he wants to take me with him, so that everyone can be together again. Together, live the happy life before."
Hearing this, Ulysses's heart trembled suddenly. No one could predict what the one who lost the most loved one would do. Could it be that Ayu's father...
Ayu's narration did not stop. After she said everything, she looked a little more energetic than before, and her face was a little more rosy.
"Dad took out the knife. It was his favorite weapon when he was a soldier before. Mom was not allowed to touch it. Dad's expression was so terrible. He took me in his arms and then stabbed me with the knife. I wear my own body."
"Xiaoya, let's go with Dad, go to Mom**'s place, Dad said to me like this."
"I was very scared, very scared, obviously I should listen to my father, and wanted to meet my mother again, but I was scared. So I struggled very hard, and then my father let go and I escaped from my father. "
"Hu" Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was thrilling, Ayou managed to escape in the end.
"It really hurts when I was hugged by my dad. The first time my dad hugged me so hard, I was too scared to move. However, I don’t think I was wrong to learn from my uncle, so I resisted Dad." Yayou's face became better and her fingers wrapped around Ulysses's, and her voice became calmer.
"Uncle, that letter, really can't be delivered."
"Well, I'm sorry." Ulysses could no longer hide it. In front of Ayu now, no one may be able to lie.
"Sure enough, my uncle also said that the letter is only possible, not to deceive Xiao Ya, so Xiao Ya doesn't blame Uncle." Ayu's smile was so soft that Ulysses didn't dare to look directly at it. .
Is what he has done these days really correct? Ulysses doubted himself for the first time.
"Uncle is a great wizard. He knows many, many things, and taught Xiaoya so much and so much knowledge. The time with uncle is very happy." As if to see Ulysse Being confused, Xiao Ya took the initiative to put Ulysses' hand on her chest.
"Look, even now, my heart is beating because I can watch the stars with my uncle. It's really great to be here."
"Well, that's good. I will teach you more words and more knowledge about stars. The stars you see are only the winter sky map. In spring, Xiaoya, you can see more New stars." Ulysses took Ayu's hand and pointed to the farther starry sky.
"Spring, it would be nice to come soon..." Ayu's voice slowly became smaller, as if she was too tired, she lowered her head and slept in Ulysses' arms.
"Well, spring will definitely come, then we will watch the new starry sky world together again." Ulysses looked forward to that time.
In this world where time passes quickly, spring must come soon.
Ulysses did not hear Ayu's answer. He retracted his hand and knocked the sleeping Ayu on the head.
"Xiaoya..." The voice slid like a broken string, because Ulysses found that his hands were stained with a bright color and began to lose the blood of temperature.
Blood? Where did it come from? Ulysses could be sure that he didn't have it just now.
By the way, just now, when Ayu took his hand to let him listen to her heartbeat, he seemed to encounter some slippery liquid. At that time, he thought it was Ayu's tears.
It turned out that it was not tears.
Ulysses stopped breathing, and on the top of this mountain where the wind was whistling, there was no second person's breathing or heartbeat.
Ayu who was in his arms, put on a red coat that would not be found even if he was dyed red, fell asleep quietly.
Under her chest, there was a trace of a wound **** with a bandage. It was the trace of the key being pierced by a sharp object and then pulled out again.
"Dad's expression is so terrible. He took me in his arms, and then pierced his body with a knife."
"It really hurts when I was hugged by my father."
"Dad's expression is so terrible. He took me in his arms, and then pierced his body with a knife."
"It really hurts when I was hugged by my father."
"Dad's expression is so terrible. He took me in his arms, and then pierced his body with a knife."
"When I was hugged by my father, it really hurts so much
