How long was it so long ago? She is about to forget it, but no matter how long it has passed, as long as she is still here, as long as her dream is not over, then she will always remember this taste .
"Ayu, so you just need to help...I must..." Ulysses' voice echoed in Ayu's ear, but she couldn't hear what he was saying.
The soul mirror that seals everything can block all Ayo's magical powers, but there is one thing that can never be sealed off, and that is a dream.
"Hey, Ulysses, do you really want my most precious things so much? Do you really have to." Ayu made a great determination and looked at it with a special look Looking at Ulysses by his side.
"If you want, you must come and do something for me."
If you really want it so much; if you really care so much and pursue her; if it's Ulysses, maybe you can do it.
"Well, Ayu, are you willing to help me." Ulysses thought it was his request that touched Ayu's heart, and began to look forward to it.
He knows that Ayu is a very kind girl. As long as she explains sincerely, she will definitely understand and lend a helping hand.
I really want to say thank you, he rarely asks people like this. So no matter what harsh requirements Ayu made, he was willing to follow.
"Ulysses, then, are you willing to accept? My commission." Ayu's eyes were a little strange.
"Well, I am willing, what do you want me to do?" It is very, very difficult compared to what Ayu can't do. Even the opponent may be a fantasy creature of the level of the fish of the wind, but Ulysses's The answer will not change in any way.
He won't be confused anymore, since he personally sent Lala into the eternal darkness, he won't look back anymore. He who chose the path of the devil also chose the darkest future.
Only because, only in such a future, he can find his only hope.
"That is something I can't do. Even in my dreams, I can't change it, something that cannot be undone. But I forgot, Ulysses, help me get it back." Ayu seemed to miss it. , And it seemed to be missing, his eyes filled with a touch of sadness.
"Go to the place I can't get in, then find me, and bring back a very, very important thing. It must be on me, but I lost it."
"Where is it?" Ulysses was ready, no matter whether the place Ayu wanted him to go was in the deep sea or in a volcano, he would set off without hesitation.
"It’s not there, it’s not there. It’s a dream of my past, a dream I can’t remember. I have always wanted to go back to a place I can’t go back. Now, I open the door for you, you must Find something like that."
"Dream, where it begins, is also where it ends. I have been praying for a dream to come true. Autumn passes, spring comes, summer ends, winter starts again, the dream I look forward to, the dream forever Now, please let me open the door of that dream and let the people in front of me go in."
Ayu began to pray, praying for the realization of the dream of the person he trusted. The power she holds allows her to give people who have dreams and hopes a power, a power that can create miracles.
But, this time, the wish she made was a wish she had always wanted to accomplish, but could not achieve it. Because this is a wish related to her, she wants others to help her realize her wish.
Open the dream that belongs to her, let Ulysses in, to find the things that were lost in the past, things that are very important to her.
She couldn't remember the appearance of that thing, she only vaguely remembered that it was something very very important to her, and she didn't know when she lost it.
Perhaps, that is her most precious thing.
Amid Ayu’s prayers, a door began to appear in front of Ulysses. This was the door she couldn't get in. Only those who were willing to help her realize her wish could get in.
"I will find it, no matter how long it takes." Although he didn't even know what Ayu said, Ulysses' voice was extremely firm.
That is his will, who has already chosen the path, and will not look back.
After a flash, Ulysses passed through the door and disappeared into the real world.
"Hey, Ulysses, I want to find it." Ayu closed his eyes and began to dream.
………………
Snowflakes fluttered gently, falling from the high sky, and then piled up a thick layer of snow on the ground. The transparent icicles are hung in a string under the eaves, and they don't seem to melt at all, and they may grow longer and longer.
All the roofs have turned white, and only a few chimneys sticking out can be seen a little black. The entire city, the entire land, seems to have been covered by this overwhelming snow.
No more pedestrians can be seen on the street where people came and go, only occasionally someone walks by stepping on the thick snow, and then enters the few remaining open taverns on the street to enjoy the hotness Delicious shochu and rough grilled meat.
This is the scenery of a small town in Northland that can be seen everywhere. The icy and snowy season has suddenly reduced the scope of human activities. The small towns all over the northern continent are like isolated islands in the sea in this season, each cut off from contact.
Ulysses walked alone in this strange town, looking for clues related to Ayu.
This is already the third day he came here. If he is the original one, he only needs to spread the wings of the fallen angel's light, and he can easily search the entire town.
However, the reality is that he spent two days in a corner of the town, because he lost all his power in this world. All the power of the demon king, the high-speed sword and silver healing hand that he was good at, could not be used.
So he discovered that his current body is no longer his own body, it is the body of an ordinary person without the blood of the demon king. In this world, his power level is almost the same as when he was in Taji City.
The power of the fourth-level light wizard, this is his current limit. In the realm of infinite desire, the light of fallen angels and other forces beyond his body's endurance can't be used, and even high-speed swords can't be used, because they are all moves that can be activated only when his body is strengthened by the blood of the demon.
Use the body of an ordinary person to use those moves. I am afraid that his body will collapse first before it is used.
However, Ulysses did not just hang his head down, but began to look for it step by step.
Since Ayu asked him to come here to find her most important things, then she would definitely not harm him. This is Ulysses's trust in Ayu and his persistence in his beliefs.
After losing the most powerful force, the cold wind from the Northland began to invade Ulysses' body, making him feel the long-lost cold.
Walking in the icy north wind, Ulysses continued his search.
"Woo...Woo...Woo..." The young girl's cry was heard in the wind, very faint.
In this cold world, no one will pay attention to this sound. People who feel uncomfortable with the cold are walking in a hurry, and no one will stop.
Ulysses stopped and found the owner of the sound along the direction of the sound.
It was a girl who was crying alone on the bench on the corner of the street. She looked only eleven or twelve years old. She wears a red hair band on her head, a long scarf around her neck, and a beige coat.
Obviously, this is not enough to stop the invasion of the cold north wind, so her body has been trembling constantly with cold. But her dazed but bewildered eyes meant that she didn't even know how terrible it would be to continue like this, but was crying alone there.
No one would listen to her crying, and the pedestrians who hurried past her by chance didn't even look at her and left quickly.
In this cold season, on this cold street, she is like a child abandoned by the world, lonely and helpless.
However, Ulysses knew this child, because she would be a girl with dreams and hope in the future, a dream envoy who can summon the fish of the wind. It's just that she doesn't seem to have grown up yet.
"Woo...Woo..." Ayu who hadn't noticed Ulysses' arrival was crying, and his body was trembling constantly. It was not entirely because of the cold.
"Yo." Ulysses walked up to Ayu naturally and sat with her.
"Woo...um..." Ayu choked when he saw someone approaching him, and looked at the unexpected guest who suddenly arrived at a loss.
"Don't cry." Seeing Ayou's blank expression, Ulysses knew that this little girl had no impression of herself, but this did not prevent him from trusting and caring for her.
Ayu once said that there are important things that she has lost in this world. Obviously, the most likely place for such a thing is this girl—Ayu who seems to have not grown up yet.
"Woo...Woo..." Ulysses' words seemed to be counterproductive, and Ayu cried more and more.
Children cannot control their feelings. They cry loudly when they encounter sad things, and laugh loudly when they encounter happy things. That is their most innocent performance, far more real than adults.
"Come on, show you something fun." Although he lost the power of the powerful Demon King, Ulysses unexpectedly found that his power of using low-level magic skills had not disappeared, perhaps because it was not level 4 or higher. The field of it.
"Boom" a hot fat bread appeared in Ulysses's hands, and it immediately attracted Ayu's eyes.
"Wow" seemed to be the first time I saw such a magical spell. Ayu stopped crying and stared at the fat bread that seemed to have just come out of the oven with her big eyes that day. His nose twitched, as if he was smelling the alluring scent of bread in the air.
Ulysses smiled, tore the fat bread he had summoned in half, and put half of it into Ayu's hands.
"Although it is not your favorite fish carving, but let's make do with it."
"Uncle, how did you know that my favorite is Diaoyuyao?" Ayu asked curiously, biting on the soft bread.
"That's a little secret." Ulysses shrugged, and cast a light magic "constant temperature" that raises the surrounding temperature, temporarily dispelling the icy wind around him.
"It's so warm, is uncle a magician." Ayu, who had been frozen all the time, looked at the suddenly warming surroundings with curious eyes, and then tried to pass through the small thermostat range with his hands.
"Wow" the temperature of the north wind outside did not change at all, and Ayu's hand was taken back immediately after the hole was reached, like a scared little animal.
"It is now, isn't it cold anymore." Ulysses adjusted the magic power in his body that was not rich, maintaining this little thermostat with minimal loss. This light magic is not difficult, but it is not easy for him who currently only has level 4 magic power to continue.
"Yes, it's so warm, thank you uncle." Ayu's expression became cheerful, and the tears left by the cry just now disappeared in the warm wind.
"I'm not that old, right." Ulysses couldn't help but touched his face after being called by Ayou's "uncle" and "uncle". Doesn't he look so mature at the age of eighteen.
"My mother told me that anyone who wears a black robe and can use magic is called an uncle, and if he has a white beard, he must be called grandpa." Ayu replied solemnly.
"Really? Mother said it." A kind mother appeared in Ulysses' mind, just like his mother, Yuffi.
"Well, my mother also said, don't trust the adults who are close to you. Especially the adults who will take snacks to entice you to take you away, that must be a bad person. Uncle, are you taking me where?" Ayu Looking at Ulysses next to him with innocent eyes, he looked a little expectant.
"Uh, I'm not a bad person." Ulysses found that his mode of action seemed to be quite similar to the kind of person Ayu's mother said requires extreme vigilance.
"I know, because bad guys don't use such magical magic, it makes Xiao Ya so warm." Ayu stretched out his finger and pulled the corner of La Ulysses' clothes, seeming to confirm this magic guide. The material of the robe.
"It's big." This large black wizard robe is obviously too big for a child.
"Does your mother call you Xiaoya." Ulysses touched Ayu's head and stroked away the icy debris that was about to melt into water.
"Well, Xiao Ya is my name. Mom always calls me that. Mom... Mom..." Ayu's expression dimmed suddenly:
"Mom, never call me like that again. Dad told me that she has gone far, far away, where there are white angels. The seasons are the same as spring."
Ulysses' heart shook suddenly. He knew where the place was like spring all year round when there was a white sky.
That is the blue sky world that people who believe in the Supreme God on this continent yearn for. There is no blissful land of war—paradise.
However, if a father tells his child that his mother has gone there, it is actually a white lie. Because it is absolutely impossible for human beings to reach that world, only the souls of dead people will go there.
So, Ayu's mother is already...
"I really want to miss my mother, why did my mother go so far away? Wouldn't it be impossible to see me again." Ayu apparently completely believed this white lie, so that's why Sad, crying quietly here alone.
Ulysses didn't know what to say at this time. He didn't want to break Ayouna's final fantasy, so he could only work hard to raise the temperature of the thermostat to make her warmer.
"It's so warm, uncle, thank you, I decided not to cry anymore. If my mother knew it, she would laugh at me as a crying bug." Wiping off the last tears from the corner of her eyes, Ayu showed bravery to Ulysses And a confident smile.
"I must be strong. My father is helping to find a messenger who can communicate with my mother. At that time, I must write a lot of words to tell my mother that I am fine, healthy, and grow up happily."
Communication with heaven? This is indeed not an absolutely impossible thing, because in the highest sequence of divine art, there is indeed a divine art that can directly summon angels to come, that is, the super divine art that directly communicates with heaven and asks for the descending of angels.
However, Ulysses did not believe that Ayu could find such a spellcaster. In the record, it was a supreme magic that required the combination of the pope and a dozen cardinals to launch it.
"Uncle, tomorrow I will bring a messenger who can communicate with my mother. You will be surprised." Ayu, who came out of grief, waved to Ulysses and quickly disappeared in the street. side.
Could it be that the most important thing Ayu said was the "messenger", some kind of mysterious thing powerful enough to communicate with heaven.
In Ulysses’s impression, that kind of thing seems to be possible in the "Scripture of Light", and what Ayu wants him to find is the highest sacred treasure in this legend.
Resisting Oyuki Ayu's impulse, Ulysses found a place to rest near the bench, waiting to meet Ayu's again.
What Ayu wants him to do is "seeking", not "fighting". After meeting a little Ayu, he seems to have found a clue to accomplish this task.
On a new day, the snowflakes are still falling, and it seems that they will never stop. The temperature in the air drops again, and the gas that has gone out turned into a large white mist, and then dissipated in the air.
At the agreed place, Ulysses, who had arrived early, didn't wait long before he saw the familiar little figure in the distance.
The dress is still the same as yesterday, with a red headband, a big scarf, and a yellow jacket, but this time she has one more thing behind her, a small backpack.
The backpack is exactly the same as the magic backpack that Ayu always runs around with his back and can take out incredible items from it, except that it doesn't have the pair of wings.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..." It can be seen that Ayu ran very hard in order to get here as soon as possible. There were even some ice and snow debris on his hands and feet, which was obviously after falling. Mark of.
"Wow" when he was about to run to his destination, Ayu slipped on his feet and was about to touch the ground with his face.
At the very moment, Ulysses made a decisive move and hugged Ayou up.
Little Yayou's body is very light, almost not the weight that a girl of this age should have. This made Ulysses who held her in his arms a little puzzled. It was not this weight he felt when he was hit by Ayou.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I always fall down easily. My father said that my head is stupid and I must study hard." Ayu who was hugged by Ulysses looked at him embarrassedly, obviously Clumsy has considerable self-knowledge.
"Be careful next time, in fact, don't be so anxious." Ulysses patted off Ayu's ice and snow debris, and then let her sit next to him.
"Look at Uncle", Ayu who just sat down couldn't wait to open the small backpack behind him, took out a white thing from it, and said in a hopeful voice:
"This is a gift from my father to Xiaoya, a messenger who can communicate with mothers far and far away."
Ulysses stared at the white messenger.
The beautiful snow-white wings, the **** and spiritual eyes, and the undiminished body even in the north wind, this is indeed a messenger that can be used to communicate with people far and far away.
Its scientific name is—Northland Snow Pigeons. In this snowy world, they are the only birds that can still fly in the air and help people convey letters.
However, it cannot fly to heaven. It was not a place that a life with wings could reach, so Ayu's father was obviously continuing to comfort his daughter with white lies.
"With it, I can communicate with my mother far, far away. Although I can't see it very lonely, I will work very hard to write letters to let my mother know everything about Xiaoya." Ya You obviously completely believed this white lie, and yesterday's depression was wiped out, and there was hope in his eyes.
"Yeah" Ulysses couldn't bear to break Ayou's beautiful fantasy and nodded. For someone who still has hope, there is nothing more cruel than breaking his last hope. Believing that Ayu's father also made up the white lie because he wanted his daughter to stop grief.
"So I want to ask uncle for one thing. Mom said that uncles in black robes are knowledgeable people and know a lot of things. Uncle, can you teach Xiaoya to write." Relying on Ulysses By her side, Ayu looked at this "uncle" hopefully.
For ordinary families, it is very, very difficult to learn to write. Especially in the poverty-stricken Northland, in a small town, perhaps only the priests of the church would help the civilians to write letters. Those noble lords would never do this kind of thing.
However, what Ayu wants is for herself to write to her mother who is far away, telling her everything that happened around her. There is no school in this small town. All she can ask for is this kind uncle in front of her.
The right to learn knowledge is very, very extravagant in this era. Except for the priests and aristocrats of the church, only the wealthy merchant families can afford the school tuition. Civilians are not allowed to steal knowledge without authorization, and this is even written into the law.
Maybe only those mysterious wizards can ignore these unspoken rules, they are not within the scope of the law.
"Yes..." Ulysses is not very sure what age this is, because the age when knowledge is not allowed to be disseminated at will lasted for a long, long time, including the middle and early churches also supported this kind of aristocracy. The method is to stabilize the sanctity of the church.
This phenomenon did not thaw until three hundred years ago. Although going to school to go to school officially still requires a high fee, and the price of books is still very high, but ordinary children can also go to church to listen, but they can’t be regarded as formal students. . A lot of knowledge has begun to spread across the mainland, and even the orcs have begun to popularize the mainland's common language and writing.
"Xiaoya, the word is mother." A branch was broken off at random, and Ulysses began to do his best to teach the young Ayu.
"Mom." Ayo imitated Ulysses very seriously, using a smaller branch to write words that were unfamiliar to her on the snow.
Because of being a beginner, her gestures are crooked, like a bunch of chaotic lines. However, her eyes and movements were absolutely serious, and she even broke the small branches in her hands because of too much force.
"Don't use so much force, just be lighter." Ulysses carefully corrected Ayu's mistakes, adjusting her untidy parts little by little.
"Yeah" Yayou watched Ulysses' presentation completely, completely forgetting everything around him.
On her shoulder, the white dove, who was given all hope, lowered his head gently, looking at the crooked words on the ground together. Rubbing Ayu's hair from time to time, she seemed to feel the unique fragrance and smell of that girl's hair.
So this corner of the street suddenly became warm. Ulysses in black, a little Ayu, and a white dove given the dream of communicating with heaven, in this little corner The road forms a strange landscape.
Pedestrians passing by on the street will probably stop to observe this strange scene, but when they discover the meaning of the black robe that Ulysses is wearing, they will bow their heads and hurried away.
The black robe of this age represents infinite power and mystery. For most ordinary people, magic is an area that they will always dream of but cannot reach.
Longing, fear, respect, these are the eyes of these people looking at Ulysses in the black wizard robes. No one dared to disturb Ulysses and Ayu. For them, the bench in this corner of the street had become an inaccessible forbidden place.
