Chapter 74 third chapter
After listening to this somewhat strange story, I wrinkled my face and made a strange expression. I dare to do this because no one can see me.Facing the black sky, I tried to imitate the expression on the orc's face.Hmm, that's kind of interesting.I went on to make the face of the troll, and then the face of Shan Sen...well, the face of the ogre. "Xiu Qi, what's wrong with you?" It was Iluli's voice.Uh, come back so soon?I showed a embarrassed expression to Iruli who couldn't see at all.Iluli was quiet for a while, and then began to cast spells: "The most beautiful light spirit among my enemies, the darkness that hides it is its food, please come out and devour the darkness!" Snapped!Because I've been sitting in the utter darkness for quite some time now, and now the light of the light spirits literally brings tears to my eyes.I looked around and everyone was rubbing their eyes and turning their necks.Carl said in a panic: "Ah, Miss Sherenelle, is it okay to be illuminated by fire?" "Yes. There's a hill between Nex's group and us. They won't see the fire." "Huh, that's good." The bluish light of the light essence seems to be beating like a pulse, no, it's like dancing, swaying here and there, shaking non-stop, but that light alone is enough for people to see the appearance of other people.But the problem was that the bluish light made everyone look pale.Shansen turned his head to see Nelia's face, and showed a frightened expression, while Nelia, who saw his expression, laughed silently.Iluli said: "They are indeed in front of us. It takes about 30 minutes to walk there. Although there are a few sentries standing there, they are only sent to watch because they are in the wild." "Huh? But Iluli, it didn't take long for you to come back?" Iluli heard Nelia's surprised tone, and she replied: "Because I walk very fast in the forest." Ah, as expected of elves, they move really fast in the forest.At this point Carl said: "But if we set fire to them and approach them, won't we be discovered?" "Of course it will be discovered." "Then we cannot approach them. It is impossible to walk thirty minutes in such darkness." Iluli thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then I'll sneak in and have a look." "No, it's too dangerous. Miss Xie Renier can go alone, absolutely not." "However, because they are also human beings, I have an advantage in this darkness. After the campfires over there are all extinguished, if I break in again, I should not be caught." Then Nelia said: "No, it might not be that simple. Uncle Carl said that those people are members of the Thieves Guild. If that's the case, then their night vision ability should be very good. It's impossible to break in." After Shan Sen showed a heavy expression, he said: "What about dawn? That's when the Sentinels are most relaxed. And at dawn, it's easier for us to get there, isn't it?" "What you said is very reasonable, but it is a big problem when you escape. They will easily catch us." "They have no horses." "Ah, that's right. If it's running at full speed, it must be our side that will be more advantageous." Carl nodded. "Then, let's go to sleep first. Then we will set off a moment before sunrise. Um, but, Miss Sherenelle, is it true that they are not in a special state of alert?" "Yes, as I said just now, they are doing general vigilance." "Then they haven't noticed us yet. Well, fine. Let's go to sleep then. Ah, the fire should be lit first. It's so cold in here, and if we sleep like this, we'll probably never get up tomorrow morning." coming." So we lit the fire first.After sitting in the cold darkness for a while, now that the fire is lit, it really feels like being saved.Iluli and Gerente, who had to do memory spells, went to bed first, while the other four took turns to watch the night. First Nelia held the watch, and the rest slept.I'm huddled in the blanket. Now I am very used to sleeping on hard ground, on the back of branches and small stones.Well, I can also be called an experienced adventurer, right? I put the blanket over my head.However, when I thought of going out of the dark forest and into the darkness again, I felt uncomfortable.So I stick my head out, put my arms under my head, and look up at the sky.In fact, there is no sky at all.It's all just leaves.Moreover, because of the fire below the trees, the lower half of the trunk is dark red, and the higher it goes, the darker it becomes.Sometimes the leaves of the trees can be seen flying red by the firelight, but most of them look like a big black curtain. It can also be said that it looks very secure.So far, I have slept in the wild countless times, but I have never slept in a place that feels as closed as this forest.Most of the wild forests in winter have only sparse branches. I have never seen such a dense coniferous forest. It seems to be a black and hard ceiling above, and the scene of getting redder all the way down makes people feel very warm.After blinking my eyes, I turned my head and looked to the side. Nelia sat leisurely under the tree, occasionally breaking some branches and putting them into the fire. Her face was sharply defined by the firelight.As the fire swayed, the shadow on her face danced too.It looked like she was changing her expression all the time.However, she didn't show any expression. "What are you looking at?" Nelia said without even looking at me.I didn't know what expression to make for a moment, so I just smiled and said: "I'm looking at a beautiful nightjar that's almost sinfully beautiful." Nelia laughed, still lowered her head, and said: "But why no man loves me?" "what?" Nelia still lowered her head and giggled a few times.Oh, really. "You want to marry so much?" "No. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't marry. I just hope that a man likes me." "Is there no such man?" "Ok." "Maybe it's because you didn't pay attention carefully that you think so. Also, it has something to do with your occupation." "Huh? It also has something to do with my profession? How should I say it?" She looked up suddenly, casting a very interested look.Hello, hello!Miss!If you think that your question now can be used to ask a seventeen-year-old boy who has just passed puberty and is still ignorant, then you are really too bad. "Because this profession leads a life in hiding." There were horizontal wrinkles between Nelia's brows, and she said: "You're right... but I rarely go over walls to steal from people's houses. Ah, of course, being a real Nighthawk, you have to be very careful... well, but for that reason ?" "Nelia, may I ask, have you ever dated thieves?" "I don't like thieves, and of course I haven't dated thieves before." "Ah, that's right." Nelia stretched her neck, looked at the sleeping person, and said: "Hmm! Hmm, Xiuqi?" "What's up?" "Do all the people in your village have a personality similar to yours?" "Huh? Well... no, wait, do you see me, Carl, and Shansen all as the same kind of person? Do we have anything in common?" Nelia smiled and said: "There's an indescribable commonality." "Well, well, let me put it this way. I've never thought the people in our village were weird. Then maybe it's because I resemble the people in the village." "Well, yes, you're right." Nelia looked at the red flames that suddenly rose into the sky, and said: "After this incident is over, can I go and live in your village?" "Stay here? Sure. But what are you going to do after you've settled down?" "What do you do? Well, well, I don't know how to farm. In terms of skills, I can only fight and steal things. Oh, you know, I can't even cook and cook." "Can't you cook and stir-fry?" "Ok." "Hmm. It's really surprising. Oh, it doesn't matter. I will learn it slowly. In fact, I was forced by my father to practice cooking skills because I don't have a mother." Suddenly, a gleam of hope flashed in Nelia's eyes. "Is your father handsome?" My God, no! "You, what are you trying to say now?" Nelia smiled happily, nodded and said: "Great, um, really great." "Yes, I know what you're saying is great, but the important thing is, I don't agree with what you said." "My husband can make candles, and my son can cook and stir-fry vegetables. Hmm! It's perfect. Then I have nothing to do?" "Hello, hello." "It's okay, it's okay. You can probably tell how old your dad is by looking at you. Well, age is not a problem." "Well, although it is said that love has no age or country..." "Does your dad have a girlfriend who is dating? Ah, it doesn't matter. Hee hee. I believe that with my looks, I can definitely beat her." O Calanbel, who protects elves and pure maidens!Oops, it's been a long time since I called you.How have you been lately?Ouch, what the hell am I talking about!Why do all the girls you protect look like this?Huh?You said Nelia is no longer a pure girl?Please, you are a god, don't care about it so clearly.In my opinion, Nelia is a pure girl, no, she should be a young lady, right?Anyway, that's how it is.It would be an exaggeration to say that only girls like Renee who never marry are pure girls.Ah, I think about it carefully, you are negligent in your duties, you did not protect Renee properly! I was so engrossed in looking at the sky that if suddenly there was lightning or something like a meteor falling, I would be able to avoid it.I looked at the sky and said: "The husband earns money and the son cooks, so what the hell are you going to do? I guess you might even say it's your son's job to do the laundry or clean the house!" "It's a good thing that the family becomes warmer because of the mother's presence." "You win." Nelia raised her chin and smiled silently to the sky.I got up and said: "Go to sleep. My drowsiness is gone. You don't seem to be getting enough sleep. In such a dim darkness, you are telling absurd things that will drive you crazy to an innocent boy who is lying down to sleep. If so, think about it, what kind of mood will that boy be in!" "Who is that boy?" "...you go to sleep!" Nelia giggled and lay down under the blanket.I approached the tree she was sitting against just now and sat down. Nelia murmured to herself while lying in the blanket: "Am I not going to be a good mother?" I looked at Nelia with gloomy eyes for a while.But Nelia buried her face in the blanket and didn't poke her head out.I also said as if talking to myself: "You're supposed to be a good mother to your kids. So stop trying to be my mother." After a while, I heard Nelia say as if in a dream: "Haha... I don't know what I can be. I'm just a nighthawk with insufficient skills. I haven't achieved anything so far. What can I be?" "The future hasn't come yet. No one knows what the future will hold." "Exactly." Then Nelia stopped talking. Why can't I give her an affirmative answer?
After sitting for a while, I felt a little cold, so I took a blanket and wrapped it around my shoulders, and then slowly looked around.It was still pitch black all around.Sometimes I feel as if something is moving inside the black veil, but nothing moves at all.If something is really moving, can it be said that the wind is moving?The night wind seemed to be carefully approaching the fire, and then the hot air that swept the fire surged up. On those low branches, some strange-shaped shadows were formed.Those strange shadows on the tree seemed to look at my face, or the appearance of animals passing by.I snickered and snapped a branch off. Crack, clap. (cracking sound) Wait, is that weird?I obviously broke it once, why would it ring twice? Snapped. I gently stretched out my foot, kicked Shan Sen on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet and listen. Something is approaching us." Although Shan Sen didn't move, he did wake up.He moved his hand slowly and took the long sword. Crack, clap. Now I'm sure there's something around us.I ran to the right, and Shan Sen rolled to the left.But we still didn't say a word.We began to silently and urgently shake those around us awake.And at this moment, the attack began. clang clang! "Someone sneak attack!" Two voices sounded at the same time.One is the sound of Shan Sen resisting the attack with his sword, and the other is the sound of me shouting.Everyone got up one after another, but the people who attacked us from the other side also came one after another.There were some quick footsteps among the trees, and a rustling.At this moment, "Uh ah ah!" The screams almost froze my blood vessels.Shan Sen let out a terrible scream.I was so scared that I looked back quickly. "Uh uh uh uh!" There are actually two Shan Sen! The two Shan Sen were striking each other with their long swords.After seeing each other's faces clearly, they both took a step back in fright.Even the stunned face is exactly the same. What is going on here?At this time, a shout came from the other side: "God Defeli!" "My God, isn't this person me?" Gerent?I turn my head away.After the two Gerentes each took out their holy emblems, they were startled when they saw each other's faces.What kind of exaggerated scene is this?Then a cry came from above my head: "Nelia of the Trident!" what?Damn, not funny at all!I reluctantly raised the giant sword with an ignorant move, blocking the trident that swung down from my head.After the opponent was blocked by me, he jumped back a step, and then shouted: "Ugh! Xiu Qi? What are you doing here?!" My God, it was Nelia who attacked me.And behind her another Nelia shouted: "who are you?" Nelia, who attacked me just now, looked back and was shocked in astonishment.And the other Nelia also looked frightened. "Ah!" "Isn't this me?" Carl ran up behind me and yelled: "What the hell is... eh?" I looked ahead and was terrified.On the other side, I was looking at me with a greatsword. And behind him there was a Cal lowering his bow nervously.I couldn't help trembling when I saw my appearance.What is the situation? At this moment, Karl on this side and on the other side shouted at the same time: "It's a copy monster!" They looked surprised when they heard what each other said.I looked at the guy who looked exactly like me, and I couldn't help but laugh.That guy seemed to feel the same irony as I did.He said: "This is too unbelievable! Hey, you, is it really me?" Who the hell is that guy asking?Wait, I should calm down. "Wait! I'll ask you a question to decide who is the real Xiu Qi. What's the name of Shan Sen's lover?" "Huh? If it were you, would you say it?" "I won't say...then it's really me." Shan Sen on the other side hit Xiu Qi on the other side, and Shan Sen on this side hit me. "This guy!" Snapped!Ouch my head.Even in this situation, I didn't say anything to Shan Sen in consideration of friendship, so from this point of view, that person is really me.Iruri, who was staring blankly at each other over there, should be in the same mood as us.damn it!I really can't see which one is "our" Iluli!Anyway, one Iluli spoke up and said: "Are you me?" "That's weird. You're really me!" "Yeah. Well, that's pretty amazing." "Yes. I can't understand how this could happen." My goodness.The two Iluli chatted politely with each other.When I saw this scene, I almost went crazy.And the Karls also said in a panic: "Wait, everyone please don't fight! Please don't attack anyone!" "Yes! Let's sort out what's going on now!" Exactly the same tone.Karl glanced at each other out of the corners of their eyes, then tilted their heads and thought for a moment, and said: "Whoever was sleeping around the fire, please come to me!" "Yes! Everyone, please stop! Those who planned to sneak attack Nex and his party, please come to my side!" Karl on that side and on this side shouted and laughed at what they said to each other.What are you talking about?Wasn't it us who originally planned to attack Nex and his party? After a while, we became confrontational and looked at everyone. Damn, what kind of weird thing is this?Nelia on the other side looked at us with a confused face, then looked at the group of people on her own side, and then looked puzzled.Shansen stared at each other and raised their swords fiercely, while Yi Luli watched Shansen calmly.I said to Xiu Qi who had the same confused expression as me: "Hey, um, I'll call you Xiu Qi first. If you were me, there's no need to be polite to you... Oh! What a headache!" "Ouch, hey, who should be bothered? Let me tell you, before I accept that you are the real Xiu Qi, my self-awareness is very clear and thorough." "This tone of voice... Oh my god. It's almost disgustingly similar to me. Hey! Who are you from Hetante Village?" "Don't you also want to say that you are a candlemaker backup like me?" Whoa, whoa!It drives me crazy.This person is definitely me.It's exactly the same!Nelia looked at Nelia with a surprised expression, and said: "Then, that, I, let me ask you... Oh, forget it." "Huh, huh? You don't mean to ask the same question I was trying to ask you?" "Oh my God!" "Oh my God!" Nelia blushed at each other.What are they trying to ask?The group on the other side stared blankly at Nelia on their side, while our group looked at Nelia on our side in a daze.Carl on our side first said: "It seems to me that...it's not like the clone monster is playing tricks. Well, should I call you Mr. Hetante?" Carl on the other side frowned and said: "This doesn't seem very appropriate. I don't think it's appropriate to call each other by my own name?" "Yes, um, but at this moment I really can't think of any proper title." It's going crazy!Shan Sen on the other side scratched his head and said: "Hey! Well, you! What were you doing here just now?" On the other side, Shan Sen gritted his teeth and said: "Of course we are here waiting to rescue Renee who was kidnapped by Nex! And what are you doing here?" "Damn it. We're rushing to save Renee!" Shan Sen on our side immediately cheered: "Yah! Is that right? You are a counterfeit. I caught a loophole. Are you a fake?" "What? Don't talk nonsense!" "If you are not fake, why would you say that we rushed to the thieves with as many as twenty people? If it were me, I would never say that!" "It's ridiculous! We decided that Iluli would summon the Sleeping Spirits first, and put them all to sleep with sleep! Then we will attack those who are not asleep, and that's it!" Iluli on our side immediately showed a surprised expression.Our Eluli turned to Eluli on the other side and said: "Yes, you can use this method. But if you want to use this method, you must approach Nex and the others. How can you bring humans with poor night vision to approach Nex and the others?" Then, Iluli on the other side tilted her head and replied: "Although night vision is not good enough, you can see it even from a long distance when you light a fire like this." “啊,我懂了。你把我们这个火堆看做是涅克斯他们的火堆了,是吗?” “是的。杰伦特先生说,这片森林里绝对不会有人进来。所以我们没有想到会有其他人进来。” “啊。是。事实上我们也想过要摸黑接近他们,但是涅克斯他们一行人距离我们很远,我们无法在黑暗之中接近他们。所以我们才决定等到视线转好时的黎明时分再行动。” “啊啊……是。我了解了。” 这实在是一番非常奇怪的谈话。伊露莉们甚至还互相对彼此轻轻笑了一下。不过,我们也因此得以按捺住彼此要动起刀剑的想法。 另一边的卡尔用认真的表情说道: “照我们这样你来我往的话语看来,我们是同一个人。这真是奇怪的事。我们对于从伊斯公国的那吴勒臣追到此地的这段期间所发生的事,都记得很完整。可能你们也是吧?” “您说得没错。之前的事想必你一定记得很清楚吧?” "yes." “是否有理论可以解释现在这种情况呢?” “如果你是我的话?” “我想是没有。” "yes." 杰伦特走到我身边,说道: “等一等,那么说来,我们应该尽量不要做出伤害彼此的事吧?嗯,虽然我们也不可能共存在一起,但我们先暂时把武器收起来再谈吧。” 另一边的杰伦特也点了点头,看了一眼他们那边的卡尔。在两边互相的默契之下,我们把武器全都收了起来。杉森们就连最后面带不甘把剑收进剑鞘里的动作,都是一模一样的。 接着,我们又再彼此瞪视着对方。damn it!我愈看那个修奇,愈觉得不高兴。眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴,没有一个地方和我不一样,他长得和我一模一样!那个修奇一面双手交叉在胸前,一面像是很看不顺眼地看着我。snort!你竟然敢这样瞪我?这家伙,居然怀疑我!我可确确实实是真的修奇啊!不过依我看,那个修奇也一定正有这种想法的样子。 我们这一边的卡尔深呼吸了一口气之后,说道: “我们这个样子应该不是复制怪在作祟。因为不可能连彼此的记忆都一模一样。那么这到底是什么呢?” "Uh ah ah!" 妮莉亚怎么了?卡尔这番话有这么令人惊讶吗?我看了看妮莉亚。可是她却正望向完全不同的方向。我们朝向妮莉亚望着的方向看去。 "Heh, heh heh..." 卡尔像是精神异常似地笑着。这也实在不能怪他。 在火堆的微弱亮光几乎快照不到的边缘,出现了一群表情惊讶的人正在看着我们,而他们竟然就是我们! 三个卡尔互相严肃地看着彼此,三个杉森则是互相对彼此叫嚣着。三个伊露莉看起来还是像刚才只有二个伊露莉时一样,很高兴可以遇到和自己讲话的难得场面。嗯,其实她也不是很高兴,只是那种沉着冷静的样子让我看了有这种感觉。 三个妮莉亚像是快看不下去似地发颤地看着彼此,三个杰伦特则是互相怀疑地看着彼此。三个我则是……真是一点也不好玩。就算开个玩笑,但是这些人全部都是我,所以根本就行不通。不,应该说我根本就没有开玩笑的心情! 某一个卡尔说道: “好,等一下再解释清楚吧,首先我们先不要互相搞混在一起。最后走到这里的那些人请都站到我的旁边。然后请都卷起右手的袖子。” 嗯,这个卡尔好像是最后出现的卡尔。接着,另一个卡尔说道: “刚才睡在火堆旁边的一行人请全都卷起左手的袖子。可是……” 另一个一直没说话的卡尔接着说道: “竟然要把我和我区分开来,这实在是件非常奇怪的事啊。” “是啊。可是为了便于对谈,这是情非得已的事。” 于是,我就姑且先卷起了左手的袖子。在这种简直让人糊里糊涂的情况下,大家互相用眼角瞄了瞄彼此的袖子之后,随即一群一群地聚在一起。我整个思绪乱七八糟地,朝向卷起了左手袖子的卡尔身旁走去。某个卡尔说道: “我们一定是中了某种魔法。是存在于这片森林里的魔法吗?” “或许是吧。嗯。我们姑且先比较彼此的记忆吧。” “好吧。那么我可以先问吗?” 为什么这些卡尔有办法如此和气地对话呢?他们真是太令人敬佩了。有三群之多的我们开始注意听卡尔们的对话。 有一个卡尔说: “是,那么我要问了。贺坦特领地的领主叫什么名字?” “我当然知道我兄长的名字叫……” 有一个卡尔答话答到一半突然间停了下来。Huh?他是卷了左手袖子的卡尔,那么也就是我们的卡尔喽?卷了左手袖子的杉森惊讶地问道: “啊,卡,卡尔!你怎么了?” 我们卡尔以绝望的表情说道: “我想不起来……天啊!我竟然想不起来我兄长的名字!” 其他两群我们开始不停地打量着我们。什么嘛,可恶!怎么可以怀疑我不是我?卷了右手袖子的杉森嘻嘻笑着说: “哈啊!这实在是太说不过去了吧。卡尔竟然会想不起来我们领主大人的名字?” 我们的杉森当场气得想要冲过去。就在那时候,我喊道: “等一下!你,喂,修奇!他妈的,这是什么跟什么呀!我竟然在叫我自己!不管怎么样,我们爸爸叫什么名字啊?” 没有卷袖子的修奇噗嗤笑着说: “混蛋家伙,开什么玩笑!爸爸的名字是……爸爸是……” 没有卷袖子的修奇的脸孔突然间变得很苍白。我看到那个修奇突然露出烦恼的表情,其实是一件既痛快同时又让我也觉得很烦恼的事。要是现在有人问我疯掉是什么样的感觉,我应该是可以非常详细地说给他听吧。没有卷袖子的修奇很沮丧地说: “等,等等!怎么可能呢?我竟然想不起来我爸爸的名字……” 接着,没有卷袖子的杰伦特向那个卷了右手袖子的杰伦特问道: “那个,请问一下。哎呀,真是的!因为你是我,所以我不应该有什么好不高兴的吧?你说说看,我们修道院里养了几只鸭子?” 这真是一个了不起的问题啊!卷了右手袖子的杰伦特一面抬起下巴,一面说: “当然是十二双喽。” “不对!上一回那个修炼士……他生病的时候我们杀了一只鸭子!你不记得了吗?不过,等等。那个修炼士是叫什么名字呢?” 卷了左手袖子的杰伦特随即答道: “他叫霍斯。没错,霍斯是生病了。可是,那时我们有把鸭子给杀了吗?” 卷了左手袖子的杉森喊道: “真是的,这实在是太荒唐了!喂!你!我们警备队员总共多少人数?” 被指名的是那个没有卷袖子的杉森。他气得抖着下巴,没劲地说: “这是什么可笑的……我想不起来有几个人。” “这未免也太荒唐了!你这家伙!你居然不知道警备队员总共多少人?” “他妈的,我想不起来!你这家伙,那么你倒是说说看,队员里面有谁拿的是镀银的长剑?” “什么呀!当然是海利和透纳!” 卷了右手袖子的杉森一副不相信的表情说道: “咦?等等。不是贾伦和透纳吗?” 接着,没有卷袖子的杉森按着他自己的头,说道: “我的天啊……这个笨蛋!不对,我这岂不是在骂我自己。应该是海利、贾伦和透纳他们都有拿!” 我们全都糊里糊涂地互相对望着。此时,卷了右手袖子的伊露莉说: “那么说来,大家现在在这里的三个自己都各自记着对方不记得的记忆。换句话说,各自都忘了一部分的自己。” What?这实在是令人惊讶得说不出话来。我们就这样说不出任何一句话地看着伊露莉。这时候,卷了左手袖子的伊露莉点子点头,说道: “好像是这样。那么我们现在应该是已经被分成了三个,彼此拥有的应该是对方所没有的部分吧。” "Stop talking!" 某个卡尔突然大声喊道。而其他的卡尔也随即脸色苍白地互相看着彼此。 “你……好像想到我在想的事?” “真不愧是同一个人,彼此心灵相通。” 卷了右手袖子的妮莉亚表情紧张地向卷了右手袖子的卡尔说道: “卡尔叔叔,到底是什么事?怎么了?” 卷了右手袖子的卡尔咬牙切齿说: “不要再互相问问题了。愈是问问题就忘得愈多。我刚才还有一些记忆,可是每当你们各位互相说话,我就感觉到我忘掉了一些。” "what?" “各位回想一下你们的记忆。各位应该会有重要的记忆,也有不重要的记忆。不管是什么样的记忆,应该是已经有某些记忆是怎么样也想不起来的。” "correct." 回答的人是卡尔。不过,在这里的卡尔们全都个个紧闭着嘴巴。 三群我们简直都快昏倒了,我们望向传出声音的方向。 第四群我们正在朝这里走来。
