Chapter Three Six Three: A Land of Nothing
Marshall didn't have time to be sad here. She had never been given any time to practice for her past self since she was a child. This was destined to be the exhaustion and rush she was burdened with. She looked at the bookshelf in front of her in silence, and from the bookshelf
She pulled out the first volume, "History of Yaris". She shook it slightly, and the fear in her eyes turned into surprise.
Why are these books not as perishable as the letters written by Ivanni on the desk? In this way, these "History of Yaris" should be older than this letter. Marshall guessed that this is probably because there is a sticker on the bookshelf.
Some kind of magic can preserve the quality of these books.
Even so, Marshall couldn't help but become cautious when flipping through the yellowed book. She sat on a stone chair and read the book slowly - because the book itself was written in ancient Yalish language
, and the ancient Yaris language is formally more difficult to read than the current Yaris language.
On the back of the book cover, Marshall could first see the first words written by the first king of Yaris, and this sentence actually gave her a new understanding of Yaris!
[I would like to write this book to remember and remember the allies who helped the Yaris people. Without them, Yaris would not have been built.】
Ally? Marshall’s history teacher told her clearly that the Yaris was built with the strength of the Luling people themselves - this is a history of blood and tears full of glory and miracles, so there are no allies!
Just as Marshall was about to continue reading, a series of clattering sounds suddenly came from behind her. She was startled, dropped the book, grabbed the magic sword next to her, and turned around.
"I didn't expect that the king of Yaris was so young and still a woman." This sentence came from the mouth of an old gray-white wolf beast in front of Marshall.
"Who are you?" Marshall said tremblingly.
The wolf orc ignored what Marshall said: "You must be the current king of Yaris. Even if you are not the current king, you will be the one who will become the king in the future."
"I am the princess of Yaris."
"The [Public Key] in your hand proves your identity. Without the blood of the Jonny family, there is no way to get here."
Marshall was still wary: "How did you get here?"
"Open the white book in the center of the bookcase." The wolf orc ignored Marshall's words, his voice still hoarse.
"Why do this?"
"To carry on the legacy and responsibility of Jonny's family."
Marshall half-suspiciously reached out to the white spine of the book and pulled it out, only to find that there seemed to be a thread hooked inside, making it impossible to pull it out completely. He only heard a rumble and a secret door slowly opened from the side of the bookcase.
A large piece of moss slid down, and Marshall tried to look inside. The secret passage was not long, and he could see the gray scene on the opposite side.
"Where is this?" Marshall tried to ask.
The wolf orc stretched out his hand, pointed to the dusty corridor, and said hoarsely: "Go through it, and you will know everything. Time is running out, and I will briefly explain everything to you there." After that, he
He coughed hard, and it seemed that with every cough, his vitality would weaken by two points.
Marshall had no choice but to walk obediently towards the corridor and walk in bit by bit. The corridor was very short, and if she had grown taller, she would have had to huddle forward. There was a total distance of twenty or thirty steps.
, it was because of the slippery ground that she walked for nearly two or three minutes. By the time she walked out of the corridor, she was already covered in cold sweat.
This is an almost abandoned palace. The interior of the palace is overgrown with vines and moss. The windows are covered with a very thick layer of ash, and the windows are covered with a layer of green leaves. The sunlight outside the windows shines into
Dirty green. The only thing that can be seen in outline in the palace is toilet
It is an iron throne located in the center of the palace. The surroundings of the throne are completely integrated with nature, but Marshall with sharp eyes can still vaguely see the dense magic lines all over the interior of the palace. In other words, this entire palace
The palace is a very huge magic weapon!
Marshall walked towards the dirty and dilapidated throne step by step, slowly stroking its rough surface with his hands.
"Miss Marshall, this is the oldest source of contact between the Yaris royal family and Rubis. This position you are in has been waiting for you for a long time." The old gray-white wolf-orc knelt down under the rusty throne.
Marshall didn't know how this guy knew his name: "Here is..."
"Ms. Jonny, this is the place that most of the orcs in Rubis long for..." No one has called Marshall by his last name for a long time.
Marshall took a breath. Apart from the two of them, there was no one in the palace.
"My father never told you..." she murmured.
"But the man who played the chess has long since disappeared, and the chess pieces without their owner are rusting, rotting, and decaying." The wolf orc said with a smile, "Only pure blood can activate this miracle city. No, it should be called its original name.
,[A land of nothing]..."
"Only when the chess-holding hand reappears will the scars on the chess pieces gradually disappear... The scars growing on the skin should also be removed quickly..."
"I, are you sure you're talking about me?" Marshall hadn't fully reacted yet.
"You are the one who plays chess! I have been a servant of the Jonny family since I was a child, and I will surely allow you to truly ascend to the highest throne!"
"You..." Marshall was about to step down from the throne, but the key on her chest floated up again. The dim lines were becoming crystal clear again, and the warm magical luster was like a rising sun.
It rustled in every corner of the ruined palace, gradually flowing into the depths of every old magic pattern.
"Even if I die, I still have that lovely son, even if my son dies, I still have that grandson who I love so much... The names of our family members will always be 'None', and your last name will always be Jonny.
How amazing!”
Buzz——
The sudden surge of magic power from underground suddenly illuminated the palace, and the branches and leaves on the wall instantly merged into the wall, turning into beautiful, lifelike paintings! The floating ash on the ground changed in just a few breaths.
After being cleaned up, every hall in the palace once again looked radiant and enviable.
"This is the palace of nothing. Only with nothing can we hope to create miracles..." Wu seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and sat tremblingly on the ground, with two lines of bloody tears flowing out of the corners of his eyes.
Dissolving into the ground, it's like irrigating plants that are growing wildly.
, "Aiyuni, my mission is over, and it's time to let you go." He coughed feebly, and his teeth continued to fall to the ground with blood, but they soon turned into a stream of steaming smoke.
Then, he could no longer maintain his body, and his flesh and blood gradually melted and collapsed piece by piece.
Before Marshall had time to move, the old wolf-orc had already turned into a pile of bones and became part of the palace.
Marshall believes that the Jonny family has never let down this "land of nothing".
Gaza! The door of the palace was pushed open, and a trace of moist and sticky sunlight leaked in, seeming to erode the cool and pleasant atmosphere in the house.
A thin and handsome wolf-man in formal clothes walked in. His eyes were blue, as if they were filled with a bottomless spring. His eye grooves were very deep. Are they born that deep... ....
He is different from Haru, but there seems to be something...surprisingly...similar...but they are not familiar with each other.
"Hello, Miss Marshall." The young wolf-orc bowed to Marshall heartily, "You can call me 'Wu', I am the helper who will assist the future monarch in maintaining the "Land of Nothing" and Yaris. You can call me the housekeeper. , you can also call me 'Wu'."
"Nothing." Marshall took back what the old wolf beast called the "Equal Key". Her mind was now blank and she didn't even know what to do. "Is my father dead?"
"Only when the previous king of Yaris dies, the [Equal Key] will change hands." Wu said quietly, "Miss Marshall, you are the hope of our paradise in the future. I hope you can take action as soon as possible to bring the This gradually crumbling city has been reorganized into a complete one. Orcs will always be humans’ allies.”
"Allies?" Marshall was even more confused, "I... don't understand."
"It seems that you don't understand the history of Yaris." Wu said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter, because only that peaceful place can record all the truth about Yaris. So please let me tell you first, what was Yaris in the first place? How was it established under chaos?"
Marshall naturally sat on the throne. She patted the armrest of the throne and said, "Come here and sit here."
"Thank you very much!" Wu's eyes lit up and he seemed very excited. He ran over in a few steps and sat on the armrest of the throne.
"I have a friend who looks a lot like you." Marshall said slowly, "I really miss him. He was a little stronger than you."
"Really? How is he doing now?"
"He died. He died to protect me. His name is Chun."
Wu adjusted the position of his tail. He seemed to be very good at getting closer to people: "It is inevitable that there will be separation in life. Everyone has their own destiny, and death is also a necessary journey."
"You can start talking." Marshall didn't want others to talk about her pain, "and I want to know what I should do. Time is precious, and I can't spend all my time here, at least at this moment."
Wu nodded and immediately said: "Yaris is a Yaris that belongs to humans and orcs. And [The Land of Nothing] and the Vatican are the two capitals of Yaris respectively, but the situation of [The Land of Nothing] is a bit special."
"What does it mean to be a Yaris that belongs to humans and orcs?"
"Yaris was founded by humans and orcs." Wu said, "It seems that the current Yaris people don't like us orcs very much."
"Things have improved a lot now," Marshall said. "It's a long story."
"We really don't have much time, so I will briefly tell you the origin of this [land of nothing]."
