Son of the Olden Days

Strictly speaking, there is actually no way under Sol's feet. Naturally, there shouldn't be any claims of getting lost, but Sol doesn't think so.

After he had eaten the food just now, he deliberately left a pile of bones on the ground as a reference, and then proceeded in a single direction along the invisible wall. After walking a certain distance, he returned the same way, but when he turned around, he found that the pile of bones was missing.

So the question is, what about my bones? Thor clasped his hands in thought.

Dragged away by wild dogs? Ego disappears? Or what purifying effect does the ring itself have?

It is definitely impossible to go wrong, just go straight on a single route, without any turns or turns. Unless the maze in the ring has been in an imperceptible topographical change, if the ring itself is a maze.

Well, it might not be important to figure out where that pile of bones went. Even if Thor saw it slowly disappearing with his own eyes, apart from feeling that it was very strange, it would not bring any help to his current situation.

So Saul put aside the whereabouts of the bones, and tried again to find an exit, if the ring really had an exit.

Pulling out the clock made by the goblin and taking a look, Saul discovered another paradox.

The time in the ring is still passing, but the strange thing is that the food inside does not spoil.

Because from the food that Thor summoned with spiritual power, he found that some food had been placed in the ring before he came to the north, but it was later forgotten in the corner of memory. Now that it is turned out again, it is still fresh.

Looking at the clock in his hand, Saul couldn't help but think of the face of the little goblin Raz.

Except for occasionally attacking other races because of survival issues, goblins are generally considered a relatively docile race. The level of intelligence is medium, and the ability to adapt to human life is strong, or it may be because they are alive in the first place.

In addition to producing clocks and watches, the first batch of goblins accepted in the territory also helped improve some farm tools and hunting traps. From the perspective of territory development, they have contributed, and now the people of Free City have already accepted the existence of goblins.

For the next few days, Sol kept walking around in his ring while drawing a map with pen and paper.

Later, Sol even gave up the idea of ​​drawing a map.

Because he found the place he passed, sometimes when he went back after a certain period of time, the terrain changed, and the number did not match the map.

Sol thinks there are two possibilities.

One is that he is dazzled by the unchanging blue around him, and the other is that the terrain in the ring will change itself.

The key is that you still can't see it. For example, when you are walking straight ahead, a turning lane suddenly appears on the wall next to you. Even if you pass by the laneway, you may not be able to find it with the naked eye unless you feel it with your hands.

There is only pure blue all around.

Without any other color to form a tonal contrast, naturally there is no sense of depth in the space.

It has been half a month since I came into the ring, except for eating and sleeping, Thor has been walking, or groping. Many of the initial thoughts gradually cooled down, and hope gradually faded. Sol felt that finding an outlet was unlikely.

After repeating it day after day, visual fatigue, mental fatigue, and the irritability of being unable to find an exit, or even knowing whether there is an exit, hovered in my heart. Some negatives began to accumulate in the heart and tortured people's hearts repeatedly.

When he walked for almost a month, Thor returned to the original problem of the disappearance of the bones.

For no particular reason, he just wanted to see the disappearance of the bones with his own eyes, or to see something novel in the constant repetition throughout the month, otherwise he was afraid that he would go crazy if he repeated it so many years and years.

He deliberately prepared a fairly substantial dinner. Sol had been consuming water in a planned way before, because he didn't know how long he would stay here. Since you are going to experience something different today, it is also right to treat yourself with a delicious meal occasionally.

Leaving the bones in the aisle, Sol walked a short distance and sat down cross-legged.

Like a devout ascetic, staring at the pile of bones on the ground fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, maybe not too long.

Just staring at the pile of bones for a long time, he subconsciously produced a kind of illusion that the bones are about to disappear, even disappearing.

In this drowsy and drowsy gaze, Thor jumped up in horror with a distorted expression in the next instant.

For a moment, Sol even thought it was an illusion. He saw a shiitake mushroom dressed as a servant, or a girl, suddenly abducted out of the aisle from nowhere. Then she used the broom and trash shovel she was carrying to sweep away the bones, and left silently after the sweep.

This scene is like an ordinary day in a mansion, the problem is that this is a dead ring space. So when Sol saw the shiitake mushroom in the skirt, he didn't feel any kindness or comfort in his heart, only a sense of horror.

What...Is there anyone cleaning up here?

Saul rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He gritted his teeth and followed decisively as he watched the shiitake turn into the sidewalk.

No matter what weirdness is waiting for me, there is nothing worse than death.

Throwing into the aisle, Saul originally thought that the shiitake mushroom would suddenly disappear, or something else would happen.

But not, the shiitake mushroom was walking in the blue without any hurry, leaving Saul with a slender back.

Saul didn't yell at the other party, the incident itself was too weird.

And did she find out about herself? Or have you found it but pretended not to find it?

Thor thought for a while, and drew out the long sword he was carrying. This is not hostility, but Thor's guard. After all, seeing a weird figure in this weird environment, it would be very sad to be stabbed to death by the opponent with a broom for a while.

Saul stopped when he walked along the way, and followed the skirt back not too far away, he wanted to see where the other party was going.

The shiitake mushroom didn't go fast, it seemed to maintain a strange and same speed, and occasionally stopped and swept twice.

Saul didn't know what she was scanning.

Obviously there is no dust on the ground, is it a means to lure the enemy? Sol didn't know.

Following the shiitake mushrooms turning around in the aisle, the back figure stopped abruptly, and then he did something that Thor couldn't understand. She stood somewhere in the aisle and raised her hand, then she seemed to touch something, and then she made an act of opening the door.

Why is there a door here?

This was what Sol couldn't understand. After her opening the door, a door actually opened on the wall. Then the shiitake mushroom pushed the door into it, and the door panel closed again.

As soon as the invisible door on that wall was opened, the faint golden light from the cracks in the door made Sol's heart become extremely hot. A door, with different lights, does that mean that you have the possibility of returning?

Thor quickly rushed forward, but when he approached the door, he suddenly lightened his movements so as not to cause any movement to disturb anyone.

He didn't know what was waiting for him behind the door, was it danger or vitality?

First put your ears sideways close to the door panel and listen carefully, there is no sound behind the door panel, or the material of the door panel itself has a strong sound insulation effect, who knows? In short, Saul didn't hear anything.

Then Saul raised his hand and fumbled roughly, and he felt a doorknob at the same height.

The doorknob still feels weird when it comes to hand, it can feel hard and contoured without any temperature.

Except for the touch sent back by the hand, the entire blue doorknob appeared abrupt, as if it appeared on the wall without warning. If there is no maid shiitake to lead the way, the ghost can find such a gadget on the wall.

Sol replaced the right hand holding the doorknob with his left hand, holding the long sword in his right hand, and then took a deep breath, holding the doorknob with his left hand and twisting it down with his backhand. I didn't hear the beating of the lock cylinder, but Sol felt the door open when he only twisted the handle halfway.

Instead of pushing it abruptly, Thor only slowly pushed the crack in the door wide.

If there is a sudden attack, the door panel may also serve as a temporary shield.

The field of vision gradually widened as the door cracked, until Thor pushed the door panel to the bottom and the door opened completely.

Then Sol saw a very strange scene.

Inside the door was a very ordinary room, which even made Sol feel the absurdity of breaking into a certain house for a moment.

The strange thing is that there are beds, cabinets and bookcases in the entire space, which seems to be a living area.

There are also the surrounding walls and ground made of earth-yellow bricks. At first glance, there is a sense of barrenness brought by the years, but the existence and appearance of these bricks themselves are obviously incompatible with the entire pure blue world outside the door.

Even more bizarre is that there are two people in the room at the moment, or strictly speaking, there is only one.

The girl who swept away Thor's bones before did not disappear without a trace after entering the door as Thor guessed. She was swept in the corner of the wall with her back facing Saul, and Saul could even hear the faint ‘brushing’ of the broom brushing the ground.

As for the other person in the room, he slept in a wide wooden bed, and there was a bright oil lamp on the wall next to the bed emitting golden light. It's just that he should have been dead for many years, already decayed into a skeleton on the bed.

After seeing the outline of the room, Thor cautiously entered the room holding the long sword.

Thor, the skeleton on the bed, ignored it for the time being, at least until he showed any obvious abnormality and aggressiveness.

When Sol entered the room, the first thing he faced with the sword was the girl in the skirt in the corner, because she could move and was obviously a living person.

"Cough..., hello, take the liberty to interrupt." Saul gave a light cough, avoiding his sudden voice from frightening the other party.

However, the girl in the corner did not respond, but swept around the corner with her head down and her back to Thor.

Sol slightly moved a step to the side, trying to see her appearance.

It's a pity that her face was hidden by the dangled long blond hair, and Saul didn't find any angle from which to peek.

So Sol walked forward cautiously and put her hand on her elbow lightly, and could feel the slight sense of strength on her elbow as she waved the broomstick. The strange thing was that she seemed to touch Sol. Not aware of it.

Saul let go of his hand and took a step back. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

When the other party did not respond, Saul thought she was a deaf-mute patient.

But she didn't respond to the touch, she wouldn't even have no sense of touch, and she lost her five senses, right? This girl is a little weird!

However, in Thor's thoughts, she suddenly turned around.

Thor's breath suddenly suffocated, because at that moment he could see clearly, under the long golden hair...no face!
