Chapter 71: Wangyou Garden

The two people walked silently across a mountain peak and crossed a canyon.

Although it is getting further and further away from the town, Li Ke said before coming out that he might not be able to go back for two or three days, so there is no need to worry about anyone being anxious.

Fortunately, the Garden of Forgetfulness is not too far away. After crossing the canyon, Li Ke followed Ah Li over several hills and woods before finally reaching the destination.

A place full of lilies.

Looking at this, Li Ke clenched the sword in his hand with caution, because when he came to the front of the garden, Li Ke felt a strong sense of crisis.

Not only that, as the road got closer and closer, a strange sense of crisis came over Ahri.

Li Ke always felt that this sense of crisis seemed familiar to him, but his complicated mind prevented him from identifying and thinking well.

"Here we are."

Ah Li silently looked at the garden in front of him. This garden was not so much a garden as it was a lily garden wrapped in trees with golden and silver leaves.

The beautiful appearance of snow lilies kept appearing in front of them through the thorns: everything here is made of plants, whether it is the gate decorated with flowers or the fences covered with spikes, they are all made of

These snow lilies grow from thorns.

This is not a particularly wonderful thing in Ionia. Skilled wood weavers can even directly activate trees to look like houses, just using thorns to build fences. Things that can be done on earth, in this world

It's not even worth mentioning.

Sunlight cannot completely penetrate the tall trees and dense canopy, so only streaks of silvery-white sunlight are projected below, making it look like it's under the moon.

And the strange thing is that these thorns and flowers are still very strong and beautiful, they don't seem to need sunlight, and some of them are not consistent with common sense.

Li Ke frowned a little. He didn't know why, but he could feel that the garden seemed to be eager for his approach.

And Ah Li's breathing became more and more rapid. After she came here, she suddenly realized that if she could forget everything, her own feelings, and her own will, then she wouldn't have to feel this kind of guilt anymore.

Feeling tormented?

"Then you will die too."

This sentence flashed through her mind, which seemed a little urgent. Ahri did not suspect anything, because she also felt fear. She murmured to herself, but her tone seemed to be that she wanted to tell Li Ke.

"Here, you can take away the memories you don't need, the memories that will cause you pain."

Li Ke raised his eyebrows slightly. His mood was too complicated before and he didn't think much about it. Now it seems that this place may be useful to him? But his intuition told him that it was definitely not that simple here. The strange feeling just now was a warning sign.

"Sounds like a good thing."

Li Ke strode towards the gate of the garden, just as Ahri left her back to him before, he also left his back to Ahri.

But his hand was still on the hilt of the sword.

Striding into the garden, which was composed of thorns, Li Ke did not feel Ali's attack. Instead, a snow lily grew towards his arm. The snow-white flowers made Li Ke feel a strange sense of greed.

a feeling of.

He narrowed his eyes and slowly pulled out the sword in his hand. A hot breath instantly appeared around him, and the lilies that were about to approach him and Ahri shrank back as if they were electrocuted.

"They don't like flames. It seems like you are a bad guest to them."

Following this voice, an old woman holding scissors appeared in front of Li Ke and Ah Li. She had gray hair, was wearing a gray robe and a mottled shawl.

"Igelia, I don't mean to interrupt, I just want to know something."

Igelia means great-grandmother.

Li Ke bowed his head and saluted, showing absolute respect to the old man, because he had also heard of this old woman's reputation in rumors.

Gardener, Witch, and Forsaken, these are all names given to each other, which are somewhat negative.

But this time he came to ask for help.

The old woman looked at Li Ke in surprise, with an unpredictable smile on her face.

"It's interesting. Countless people come here, including the little ones behind you, who come here to forget something, but you come here to find something."

She looked at Li Ke, as if she wanted to see clearly what Li Ke wanted to do.

"Normally, I wouldn't grant a request other than to forget something, but you're a polite kid, so go ahead and see if I know."

Li Ke took a deep breath, and he actually believed that Ah Li was not lying: whether the other party exposed his back to him without warning, or did not attack when he exposed his back, it already explained a lot of things.

"About ten years ago, was there a man with this bell who came here?"

Li Ke pointed at the bell on Ahri's body, while the old woman narrowed her eyes and even walked over, reaching out and grabbing the bell at the hem of Ahri's skirt.

Then, Li Ke nodded with some anxiety.

"I remember him. He did come, but he didn't come in. Instead, he wandered outside the garden for a long time... I rarely see such people, so I remember it very clearly."

The old woman had a sighing expression on her face, and then let go of the bell.

"It's a pity that just when he was about to live with his painful memories, his neck was bitten off by a hungry shadow wolf. And then..."

The old woman laughed.

"The little girl behind you arrived, took away his most painful memory, and made him leave with a smile."

Li Ke subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword. He didn't know whether he should relax or something else, but he had a rather complicated feeling.

"Thank you very much, Igelia, is there anything I can do for you?"

He wanted to repay the other party, but the old lady just shook her head.

"It's not necessary. We don't need anything here except memory. You'd better leave as soon as possible. The children here care about you very much. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

Li Ke was silent. The old woman in front of him was definitely not a human being. He knew this very well because the legend of the Garden of Forgetfulness had been spread for hundreds of years.

"But thanks anyway."

He thanked him again and planned to take Ah Li away from here.

But the moment he turned his head, he saw a lily wrapped around Ahri's hand and closed his eyes.

Li Ke frowned and wanted to catch Ah Li, but at this moment, the lilies at his feet also moved and quickly wrapped around his fingers and scabbard, trying to take away his

sword.

He looked at the old woman in shock, but the old woman just sighed.

"It seems that you also have memories that you want to forget."

"It's really not a good place."

This is Li Ke’s psychology.

"Igelia, let us go, I can still maintain my courtesy."

But he did not get angry immediately, but spoke sincerely to the old woman, but the old woman's tone was quite emotional.

"This is not something I can decide, but you chose the flowers. If you don't want to forget anything, the flowers will not cling to you."

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

The old woman shook her head, did not speak, but turned around and disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers. And Li Ke also saw Ah Li's figure completely falling towards the sea of ​​flowers, being submerged by countless flowers.

It's time to fight hard.

Li Ke took a deep breath, ignoring the scratches on his fingers by the thorns, and instead worked up the energy in his body.

Of course, the Poji Weapon requires energy to be added to the sharp blade. Now that the sword is in the sheath, let alone its cutting function, it is just a fire stick and can only be used as a blunt instrument.

but……

How can a sword be such an inconvenient thing!

The Qi spread rapidly on the scabbard, constantly forming sharp Qi blades, cutting off the vines tightly wrapped around the scabbard.

Li Ke roared angrily and tore at the vines on his body, regardless of how many bloody marks the thorns drew on his body. The sword in his hand was about to be pulled out, and a trace of flame appeared in his hand.

However, things always seemed to collide. Just when Li Ke was breaking free from these thorns, an angry voice came from the direction of Ahri.

"Gardener! How dare you steal my prey!"

As this angry voice sounded, the place where Ahri fell quickly swelled, and then a thick arm penetrated the vines that bound Ahri, tearing apart these vines that could swallow up memories.

Then a ferocious ghost face appeared in front of Li Ke, making Li Ke understand why the sense of threat he sensed in Ahri was so familiar.

Because that is the inner demon that absorbs negative emotions!

Its name is.
