Part 4 The Undead Chapter 134: The Old Country
Hearing the greeting of Ms. “Justice”, “Fool” Klein suddenly had a strong feeling.
Knowing the identity, status, appearance and situation of the other party, he had a deeper understanding of the “justice” Audrey’s tone of lightheartedness and cheerfulness and vitality of sunshine, and understood where the essence of them originated from, but Klein did not envy and jealousy, thinking that the other party lacked the polishing of the suffering, but rather felt that, at the bottom of such a world, the rules are full of chaos, distortion and madness. world where the rules were full of chaos, distortion and crazy implications, it was really quite good to have such a young lady in existence.
A small smile appeared on his face, and he gently nodded in response to Ms. Justice’s greeting.
When the members of the Tarot Club had finished greeting each other, “The Hidden One” Gadelia pushed down her glasses, turned her body sideways, and bowed to the blurry figure shrouded in gray mist at the top of the long bronze table:
”Dear Mr. ‘Fool’, there are three pages of diary this time.”
The “Queen of Mystery” finally came back online …… Klein belted out a smile and said:
”Very well.”
A few seconds later, the “Hidden One” Gadelia, who had received permission, manifested the diaries and watched as they “jumped” into Mr. “Fool”‘s palm.
Kraven casually glanced at them, and then he let out a sudden “eek” in his heart.
He realized that the diary provided by the “Queen of Mysteries” this time seemed to belong to the early days of Rossel the Great, and did not look like it had important information.
Normal, can not distinguish the importance of the case, certainly give priority to select the later diary, so as to maximize the restoration of Rossel the Great “assassination” mystery …… I believe that the “Queen of Mystery I believe that the “Queen of Mystery” has enough intelligence …… Klein read the first page of the diary carefully while wondering to himself in his heart:
”September 21, arrived at St. Miron and officially began my first trip with the group.
”The weather in Forsak is really a bit cold, it’s not even October yet and it looks like it’s going to snow, no wonder the specialty here is all kinds of coats and cold-proof clothing, as well as, spirits!
”Damn, the height of the people here is really exaggerated, worthy of a land descended from giants, but still, I’d like to say that I hate people looking down on me!
”Tonight, I’m going to go to a tavern and find a Forsak beauty to share a drink with!”
Seeing this, Klein suddenly suspected that “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette had provided these pages of her diary to ask if she had an older or younger brother of Forsak descent.
Stifling his inner tsk, Klein’s gaze swept to the second diary entry:
”September 22nd, I seem to have broken off ……
”What happened last night, where is my Forsak beauty? I can’t believe I didn’t drink her!
”People at the embassy told me that girls here can drink more than men a lot of the time ……
”You have to be moderate when you go to the tavern from now on, it’s not good if some older woman picks up the body ……
”The wine here is really strong, I have a headache for the whole day, luckily, it’s not a pain in the ass, go to bed early and go to sleep early, tomorrow I’ll visit the Dusk Giant Hall.”
”September 23, the dusk giant hall is indeed magnificent, like a myth descending into reality, that piece of architecture seems to be completely prepared for the giants.
”As a pagan, I could only circle around the outside, and the plaza at the foot of the Dusk Giant Temple was surprisingly boozy as well!
”There were quite a few people here, some kneeling, some sitting, some playing bone flutes in a very lilting and open way.
”I met a Forsak who played the bone flute, and even compared to his compatriots, he was exaggeratedly tall, close to three meters at eye level.
”His name was Oneg, claiming to come from one of the few clans with the purest bloodline of the Forsak giants, and he played the bone flute in a melancholic way, as if he didn’t really belong here but didn’t know where to go, more like a poet than the guys in Intis who only know how to circle around women’s skirts, and speaking of which, I can’t help but spit out the idea of the guys who are so proud of getting that kind of disease that it just disrupting the social market!
”I was chatting with Oneg for a while and mentioned that query from earlier, and he said that he was just pining for his hometown.
”But the thing is, he’s a standard St. Milonian and has never left the area.
”Oneg didn’t answer me right away, and played his bone flute for a few more minutes before saying that he was pining for the source of the giant bloodline, the one in myth and legend, the Giant’s Royal Court.
”He told me that he and the Forsaks of his people often dreamed of high peaks, great walls upon which they were based, palaces, towers, and buildings of all kinds forever bathed in the light of twilight, much like the Giant Palace of Twilight, and yet even more uncanny, even more epic and miraculous.
”No one needs to be told, Oneg and his people are certain that this is the Court of the Giants.
”Toward the end of the conversation, Oneg slowly stood up and said that he appreciated my listening, and that it was time for him to leave Forsak and go in search of the Giant’s Royal Court, the home of his spirit and heart.
”He thought that the easternmost region of the Sunia Sea might hold the path to the Court of the Giants.
”Thousands of years have passed, he said, and the giants have never forgotten their homeland, and now it is his turn to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors, a path that never stops until it reaches its end.
”He played the bone flute again, and faded away in the melodious but sad melody.
”O Hometown ……”
O Hometown …… Reading this, Klein felt for the first time that he resonated one hundred percent with the Archon’s emotions.
Although Russell only wrote what seemed to be a repetitive three words in the end, without elaborating on his own heart, Klein completely read the ups and downs of the Great Emperor’s heart at that moment, because, like Oneg, both he and Russell had a spiritual and mental hometown.
Sighing in his heart, Klein turned to the second page of the diary:
”January 10th, visited Sunia Island.
”Also known as the Ancient Elven Island, this place has a large number of elven relics and customs remaining.
”I was amazed on the first day that the elves could make ‘Blood Want’, that they liked to eat animal offal, and that they excelled in the use of spices?
”And they invented chopsticks?
”Thinking about the image of the elves on the mural, except for some of the blue-haired people, the rest of the silhouette lines, hair color eyes, are close to the earth’s Asian people, this can not be the hometowns, right?”
Yes, I also had such a suspicion when I was in a trance, however, thinking about the impossibility of wearing so many people over in one breath, almost becoming a race, and thinking that I might be overthinking it …… It doesn’t make sense that the habits and food tableware that can be found on Earth can by no means be created here… …Klein read quickly down the page with interest, wondering if Roselle had bothered to find out why:
”January 13th, I’ve been so busy collecting artifacts and antiquities and folklore from this place that I forgot to keep a journal for a few days.
”Though many things have long since been taken away by the major churches, I have still gained some things of value.
”Various legends have accounts of the Elf King Sunyasolem inventing chopsticks and cooking delicacies with animal entrails and blood, and there are stories of this Ancient God being good at distinguishing spices, and they all believe that K is the originator, the first elf, who, for some reason, took the community and left the Western Continent, which only exists in mythology, to the Northern Continent.
”Could it be that this is the old country, the first traveler?
”And then k reproduced a race? Ancient gods can do anything, including have children?
”k seems to have a wife, who is also an elf, hmmm …… I’m in deep thought.”
”On January 16, further investigation showed that the elves might actually have nothing to do with the travelers, at least they left no symbols related to Chinese or English.
”The fact that they should have been using Elvish from start to finish didn’t strike me as remotely familiar.
”Moreover, those common inventions did not appear before my arrival, nor did many of the famous sayings; all that existed were proverbs and fables with very different examples of similar meanings.
”All the items and legends, so far, do not support my conjecture, which is a little disappointing and relieving, and I really don’t know what I would have to face if I had met another or some other traveler.”
”On January 17th, I dreamed of my soon to be forgotten homeland.”
Sure enough, the Archon tentatively gave up on that guess …… Klein turned the page once more to that last diary entry:
”April 2nd, my daughter is just smart, not even a year old yet and she can talk! Although she’s only learned a few words for now, I’m sure the progress won’t be slow after that!
”This is something she inherited from me!
”I look at her left and right, and I feel that she looks so much like me when I was on Earth… Could it be that the soul also brings about heredity in some way? Haha, let’s assume so.
”Bernadette, it’s a pretty good name, beautiful as soon as I hear it, but in my heart, I’m always stupidly tempted to give her a little Chinese name.
”Hey, she won’t get to meet her real grandpa and grandma ……”
”April 3rd, the sudden emotion that arose yesterday almost made me lose sleep, luckily I can meditate.
”However, it also made me consider the question of whether to teach Bernadette Chinese privately.
”No, no, no, if the diary I wrote in front of me is read by her, I, as a father, might as well find a block of bean curd and crash it to death; in my daughter’s heart, her father must be full of light.
”But writing a diary in Chinese is already the last tie I have with the earth and the past, and my daughter, in some way, should inherit this tie.”
”On April 6, after a few days’ consideration, I decided to teach Bernadette the two Chinese characters as special symbols, telling her that they were a protective spell given to her by her father to be remembered forever.
”She need not understand the corresponding meanings, but only remember them.
”The two kanji are:
”Hometown.”
Hometown …… Klein repeated the word once again, his eyes even burning a little.
He finally understood why Bernadette, the “Queen of Mysteries”, had picked these three pages of the diary, because they contained the amulet number left to her by her father:
”Hometown.”
At this moment, Klein seemed to see a river of emotions, flowing quietly on the surface, but underwater there were countless currents that tumbled endlessly.
Klein then withdrew his eyes, letting the diary disappear, and looked up at “The Hidden One”, Gadelia, and said:
”What is your question?”
