When he saw another person appearing on the "Island of Steel" where Mordel Wilder was trapped, Gawain immediately raised his eyebrows instinctively, feeling a trace of violation.
The timing of this blond woman's appearance... was such a coincidence.
In the notes, Modile, who had regained consciousness, apparently had similar doubts -
"...after Miss Melita left and never left. After returning, I realized that the weirdness of this steel island was probably extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, it should be impossible for a dragon to come to this island on its own initiative, so I was even prepared to be trapped here for a long time. Prepare, and the appearance of this blond woman... did not bring me any hope or joy at the first time, but only nervousness and uneasiness.
"In this weird place, anything appears without warning. People or things are enough to cause alarm.
“While remaining vigilant, I took the initiative to ask the woman about her origins, and she told her name—she said her name was Enya and she lived on a nearby continent.
p>
“The nearby continent—that is obviously the country of dragons. I therefore asked her if she was a dragon in human form, and her answer was very strange... She said that she was indeed a member of dragon society, but whether she was a dragon or not... it didn't matter.
“This caused me more confusion, but the experience in that tower taught me a lesson: in this strange sea, it is best not to have too much curiosity. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, so I didn’t ask anything.
“At the same time, I also discovered something: the woman who called herself Enya was occasionally looking at the giant tower. Sometimes she would show vague feelings of resistance and disgust, and she would also feel a little uncomfortable when talking to me. It seemed that she didn't like this place very much, but for some reason, she had to come here... What exactly did she do? Who is it? What does she want to do?
“I was full of doubts, but did not ask. The woman who called herself Enya looked at me up and down for a long time. She seemed to be observing something very carefully, which made me feel awkward.< /p>
"After observing for several minutes, she broke the silence and said that she was here to help...
"'You have come into contact with something you shouldn't have come into contact with here. Fortunately, I There is still time to pull you out - now the hidden danger in you has been eliminated' - these are her exact words
"I recalled the memories that disappeared out of thin air in the tower. With only a few remaining picture fragments and the sporadic clues I left in my notes, I suddenly realized that my survival was not due to luck or my own strong willpower, but to the help of outsiders. This person called himself Enya. The woman... seems to be the one who helped.
“I expressed my gratitude to her, and she accepted it. Then, she asked me if I wanted to leave the island and go back to 'where I should go' - she said she had the ability to send me back to humanity. world, and are happy to do so.
"What else can I say? Of course I do!
"Although all this is weird, and although the appearance of this woman who calls herself Enya is too coincidental, I think I have no choice. Now... Without supplies, his own condition is getting worse and worse, he is unable to navigate accurately, and he is trapped in the Arctic region by a storm. Even a top legendary powerhouse in his heyday cannot return to the mainland alive. All of my previous My plans for returning home sounded ambitious, but I was well aware of their odds of success - and now, with a powerful dragon (though not explicitly admitting it herself) offering to help, I couldn't refuse the opportunity.
"Although rashly accepting help from strangers may also involve risks... But I think the chance of this risk should not be higher than the chance of death when crossing or bypassing the storm, right? Not to mention this Ms. Enya She always gives people a gentle, elegant and reliable feeling. My intuition tells me that she is trustworthy, even trustworthy like the laws of nature...
"I immediately asked her for help and asked her to help me Back to the human world, but before that, I first took out the weird talisman to show her, and told her how the talisman appeared - although I don't know if this mysterious 'dragon' can answer my question. I have doubts, but I really can’t find anyone else to ask. Theoretically, the dragons living in this sea area are the only race that may know the secrets about that tower. If even Enya is not sure about the risk of this amulet, then I will throw it to sea.
“When she saw the amulet, Enya was obviously surprised. She took the amulet and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then touched it with her hand... I don’t understand what happened. What happened? At that moment, there was no magic fluctuation, no energy reaction, but some unimaginable power did appear. I felt it suddenly descend, suppressing and purifying whatever was left on the amulet. At the same time, the lingering panic and uneasiness quickly faded from the spiritual world - I felt a sense of relief and warmth, and Enya put the amulet back into my hands.
< p> "'It's safe - it's just a piece of metal now that you can take back as a souvenir' - she told me.“I don’t know whether I should believe her, but the amulet does feel different now. It no longer has any disturbing aura. As a transcendent, I should probably believe it. My own intuition in this field...
"At this point, I finally got rid of my last doubts and hesitations. I don’t want to stay on this weird steel island for a moment anymore, and I’m fed up with it. In the cold wind, I expressed my urgent desire to leave as soon as possible, while Enya smiled and nodded - this is the last scene I remember on that steel island.
“The chaotic light and shadow enveloped me, and for an infinitely brief moment (it could also be a simple loss of memory for a period of time), I seemed to have passed through some kind of tunnel...or something else. When againWhen I opened my eyes for the first time, I was already lying on a gravel-strewn coastline. A light curtain emitting a faint heat shrouded the surroundings, and the light curtain itself was on the verge of dissipating.
"I looked far into the distance and saw the familiar mountains - this is already the northern border.
"Now, I am sitting on the edge of my own territory, here I write rapidly in this notebook to record my weird and bizarre experiences in the past period. Everything is like a crazy and torn dream, full of absurd twists and details that cannot be elaborated, but there is clear evidence to prove it. They are all things that really happened - that talisman, it is lying quietly on a big stone on my left hand side, glowing slightly in the sun..."
高Wen frowned.
Model Wilder... came back safely. He was rescued by a mysterious woman who suddenly appeared, and was relieved of some hidden dangers, and then he was safe. Returned to the human world?
In Gao Wen's view, it seems that similar things must have some twists and turns to be considered "in line with common sense." However, the development of the real world does not seem to follow the laws in this book. Dier Wilder did indeed return to the North safely. The decades of his life after that and the many adventures he left behind can prove this. In this "Model Travels", about this " The record of "Trek Legend" has also come to an end. At the end of the entire record, there is only the ending left by Mordel Wilder:
"...Everything is over. I was walking on the road back to Winterkeep, recalling my adventures in the past few months, and my mind was gradually waking up from the chaos. The familiar mountains, familiar villages and towns here, as well as the real human beings I met on the road all proved that the nightmare was far away and the land I stepped on was real.
“When I went back and sorted out my notes from the past period of time, I once again saw those disturbing random sketches and crazy murmurs at the end, as well as the word ‘leave’ in a very unfamiliar handwriting... Now I can confirm that I did not write this word out of my own will. It should have been written by my hand when 'Enya' came to help. Its function may be some kind of 'spiritual awakening' or power transmission. Media.
"I hesitated for a long time whether to keep these records - they are really weird, and they don't look like the content of a normal adventure travelogue, but in the end I decided Keep every trace of this adventure intact—including the scribblings and the words Enya borrowed from my hand.
"There is no special power in these words. I have confirmed this. Keeping them is also a warning to future generations. They can fully reflect the dangers of adventure. Maybe it can make other reckless adventurers like me think more before setting off...
"Latercomers, if you are also interested in adventure, please rememberMy advice - the ocean is full of dangers, and the north of the human world is even more so. On the opposite side of the eternal storm, it is definitely not a place that ordinary people should set foot on. If you really want to go, then please be prepared to say goodbye to this world forever...
"As for myself...it seems that I have to rest for a while and complete the aftermath of this reckless adventure. As for the future...well, I can't deceive myself in my notes. .
“Mordel Wilder is a bold and unrepentant guy, and I just can’t control my urge to take risks!
"Facts have proved that it is impossible for me to be a qualified duke. I am not a qualified noble, nor a qualified ruler. I will complete the transfer of titles and inheritance distribution as soon as possible. The king and others No one can stop me. Just let me continue to be ridiculous. Let me set off again to the next unknown - maybe I will be alone next time, no longer dragging down innocent people. Maybe one day I will die alone, far away from human beings. Somewhere in the world, there is only one notebook for company, but what the heck!
“This world full of unknowns is so damn awesome! ! ”
Gowen silently closed this thick and ancient notebook, watching the mottled and old cover hide the text inside again, and the sunlight approaching dusk shone on its repaired spine. , casting a faint afterglow among the golden threads and hot silver.
After taking charge of this country, he also went to understand the stories behind several major noble genealogies in this land, and learned about the people in the country. After Gawain Cecil's death, the country underwent a series of changes, and in the process, many names gradually became familiar to him.
Modile Wilder six hundred years ago... also. He is considered a quite famous person.
He inherited the title of Duke of the North early and passed it on to his heirs early. He spent half his life wandering around the world, and his behavior was nothing like that. A normal nobleman, even among the descendants of Ansu's early pioneers, he was so unique that nobles and historical scholars would frown when they mentioned this "Adventurer Duke". I don’t know how to write.
He is a great man. He has traveled to every corner of the human world, even many corners beyond the borders of the human world. He has added a lot to Ansu six hundred years ago. Nearly one-third of the duchy's developable wasteland was used to find more than ten kinds of precious magic materials and new food crops for human civilization that was firmly established at that time. He measured the border between the north and the east with his feet. What he discovered Many things - minerals, animals and plants, natural phenomena, and the magical laws after the magic wave are still blessing the human world to this day.
He is also an absurd person, abandoning his title and fiefdom. Ignoring the royal family, all of his contributions were actually based on interest. His casual behavior caused almost as much trouble as his contributions at the time, so much so that the Ansu royal family six hundred years ago even had to separate a separate considerable energy to help the Wilder family stabilizeDetermine the situation in the north to prevent the "paroxysmal disappearances" of the northern dukes from causing chaos on the border. If placed in the Second Dynasty, where the strength of the royal family's rule has declined significantly, Mordel Wilder's willful actions may even lead to new divisions.
So, the nobles and scholars who studied history could only refuse to evaluate the life of this "absurd Duke". They recorded the Duke's life in an ambiguous way, but did not leave any traces. In conclusion, even if it were not for the "Literature Preservation Project" launched in the first year of Cecil, many precious historical records about Modier would not have been unearthed at all.
"What a wonderful man..."
Gawain smiled, then sighed and sat up from behind the desk.
He came to the "World Map" hanging not far away, and his eyes slowly wandered over it.
Model Wilder really left too many mysteries...
Gawain sighed silently in his heart, he picked up the pen from the small shelf next to him, and the pen tip landed on Eternity Next to the land representing Tallond on the opposite side of the storm - this land is just a schematic diagram, not as accurate and detailed as the continent of Loren - after hesitating and thinking for a moment, he moved on the sea on the west side of Tallond The tip of the pen left a mark and a question mark next to it.
"Is there another tower..."
He whispered to himself, his eyes moved downward and landed on the coastline of Beigang.
"A world full of unknowns..."
