Chapter 1114: Wendell
Wendell is either a light seeker or a last light seeker. As a person looking for afterglow in the nine kingdoms, his age is far beyond the requirements. His body is too old, his spirit is already wilting, and every part of his body is constantly reminding him that he is completely unfit to participate. This expedition, the willingness to go alone can only usher in the end of the death.
However, he resolutely left the warm and comfortable Twilight Capital and embarked on this journey of no return.
And it is the second departure.
Wendell once challenged a light-seeking journey. At that time, half of the 28 partners who accompanied him died shortly after passing the first Rainbow Bridge, and died under the deadly disease of magic erosion. The rest of the people died in the deadly poisonous fog of Nieforheim. The journey of the light-seeking journey was almost completely annihilated. In the end, Wendel and the only teammate left in the team dragged the remnant and fled back to the Twilight Capital, and the only teammate was back. On the third day at home, she died tragically in a nightmare and pain.
The ancestors fell in love, Wendell survived and lived healthy today.
Since the collapse of the heavens and the earth, the light has gone, the world has been shrouded in the burning darkness, and hundreds of light-seekers have embarked on the journey in the long night. They sneaked into the darkness and survived the search for the last days in the devastated world wreckage. It was bleak, but no one brought back the real good news. Most of the light-seekers, like Wendel's friends, turned into rotted bodies in the distorted waste, and even the whole body was difficult to preserve, and very few of the light-seekers were lucky ones like Wendell. They fled back to the sanctuary before being completely swallowed up by the darkness, and throughout the rest of their lives they trembled to tell others about the deadly shadows in the dark and the magical radiation that was so painful. No one will laugh at the light-seekers who have scared the courage and fled back. Because it is only the time to step out of the Twilight capital, you will have the courage to go through the adventures of the long night and come back alive. Their survival itself is already a commendable great cause.
Among all these light seekers, Wendell is the only one who is alive and returning from the night, but once again embarked on the journey.
Some people say that he is a madman, and some people praise his courage. He thinks that his almost irrational challenge spirit is comparable to those of the ancient Genghes, but Wendell dismissed all these evaluations. He set foot on it. There is only one reason for the journey, that is, to fulfill the promise of the young and the wife: to find the remaining glimmer of light in the long night.
So when he realized that he had only one chance to challenge for the rest of his life, there would be no more new light seekers in the Twilight capital. He took the initiative to sign up for the last expedition, and in the eyes of others watching the madman, he set off with the blessed talisman.
This last team started from the Twilight Capital, with only 12 members of the team having the lowest number of light seekers. They follow the route left by the predecessors, walk through the wreckage of the nine kingdoms, and do everything possible to search for vitality and look for signs that the night will soon recede.
However, no matter where they go, all they can find is the rotten and distorted earth and the air filled with magic energy. The residual branches of Yugudola Hill are interspersed in these terrible world wrecks, but there is no more spring water. These branches are flowing down. As stated in the Doomsday: The branches of the world tree are already dying. The nine kingdoms have collapsed, and the entire universe has long since been extinguished. It is impossible to reverse the fate of the man who has been lingering.
The teammates fell one by one, and the most robust Bonem was radiated to death because he accidentally lost the talisman. The brave Andrew fell into the cracks of the earth, and Helena died. She disappeared into the gate as she crossed the Yodonheim Rainbow Bridge. It never appeared from the other side of the gate: the space storm swallowed her. In the final team, only Wendell and Tanarosa were left, but Tana Rosa did not survive today.
"Maybe I can't quite go anymore." Wendell curled up in his little camp. The old body is wrapped in leather, and he feels his heart is being grilled by flames. But the skin is chilly, which is a sign that the magic can invade the nervous system. He felt a bit ironic: the people who went to the last step in the team turned out to be themselves. Those who were younger than him, more flexible than him, and stronger than him, died in front of him.
Perhaps it was the experience brought by a light-seeking journey and the adaptability to the magic energy that made him live more days, but it is here.
Another cold spread, Wendell subconsciously wrapped the leather on the body. He looked at his threaded cane and the compass hanging on the cane. The pointer on the compass was spinning wildly, and the threaded cane was cracked. He knew that he was lost, and he lost his way shortly after burying Tana Rosa, which made him somewhat regretful: if it was not the last obstacle, perhaps he still hoped to arrive in Asgard, although he was sure that he would arrive even if he arrived. Asgard will also die from radiation sickness in a short time, but he can at least see the legendary country and see the fact that he supported him all the way:
Has Asgard survived?
Wendell took the piece of black parchment from his arms, and there was only one word on the parchment:
"...Asgard... there is light."
This piece of paper was found by his team as he passed through Walter Alheim. He was held in the chest by a corpse equipped with a light-seeker. Tanarosa thought that the light-seeker was a hundred years ago. Members of the expedition that were annihilated by the army: the group of light-seekers who departed a hundred years ago are considered to be the most capable masters of all the kingdoms in history. The Twilight capital puts all the last hopes On them, however, this team ultimately did not have a life, which indirectly led to the end of the special group of "light seekers."
According to the contents of the note, Tanarosa speculated that the light-seekers who disappeared a hundred years ago successfully reached the last wreckage of the nine kingdoms, Asgard, and found evidence of survival there, but this The team did not live to bring this good news back to the Twilight Capital.
It is the content on this note that Wendell insisted on at this moment. He does not expect to be able to return to the Twilight Capital. He only hopes to see at least Asgard, even if he climbs over and is good. This life is regrettable.
However, it seems that regrets will eventually become regrettable.
Another cold in the illusion came from all directions. Wendell felt that his own mind was gradually sinking into the bottomless abyss. He tried to wrap his leather again, but this time he could not control the movement of his fingers. As the eyelids gradually faded, he felt as if he had returned to the Twilight Capital, returning to the narrow city covered by a layer of pale yellow light film, full of oily smell, steam and smoke everywhere. His little workshop appeared again in front of him, and his dear Sasha also came alive. She stood at the entrance of the workshop, wearing an old apron and looking sadly at this side.
He struggled to reach out, but he felt that his vision gradually narrowed and gradually darkened. Eventually, everything was far away.
However, in the last second before he completely sank into the darkness, a shimmer appeared in the distance.
A detection probe found the lost person, Hao Ren and his team finally arrived at the other side when everything was not too late.
They found this inconspicuous small camp in the wilderness, hundreds of kilometers from the Rainbow Bridge. There was only one old man in the small camp wrapped in worn-out leather and frail and weak. The old man was having a high fever at the time, his skin was covered with abnormal blue-white luster, and his breathing was weak as if he was going to disappear at any time. The old Master Anthony immediately judged that this was a serious magic erosion.
"He is already dying," Anthony said as he set a barrier to isolate the magic energy around the camp. "But it hasn't completely died. Give me some time. I can pull him back from the line of death."
After the barrier to isolate the magic energy was established, the weak comatose old man immediately stabilized, although still far from improving, but at least temporarily escaped the death threat. When the old Master was busy setting up various purification tactics, Vivian went to check the situation of the old man. She was surprised to find that this was a human being.
Although it is somewhat different from the human beings on Earth today, this may be a variation caused by long-term living in a changing environment. But this old man is indeed a personal class.
"How did he survive in this environment to the present?" Vivienne felt incredible.
Garad Zall found a little around the old man and found something that exudes magical fluctuations: "Probably the effect of this talisman, I just sensed that this thing formed a barrier, constantly filtering the magic and poison in the air. , but its utility seems to be coming to an end, and the filtering effect is very bad."
Hao Ren took the talisman and said casually: "It seems that this is the ‘light seeker’.”
At this moment, under the full treatment of Anthony, the old man who was dying of life finally recovered and slowly opened his eyes. (To be continued.)
