His consciousness was floating in the endless darkness, without cold or warmth, and he couldn't see his own body, just like an inconspicuous dust wandering in the darkness.
Ma Wei, who has entered the endless darkness many times, is already familiar with the environment here. He stretched out his hands, or his consciousness stretched out tentacles, and established contact with Yunia and Daniel beside him.
Daniel, who came to the endless darkness for the first time, was a little uncomfortable with the deep darkness around him. Ma Wei could clearly feel his uneasiness.
"Dad...look..."
Yunia's voice entered the minds of Ma Wei and Daniel. They turned around and saw that at the end of the deep darkness, a purple light spot appeared at some point. It was bright for a while and dim for a while, like a swaying star in the wind and rain. The street lights....are flickering.
Did Heimyuk really attract the attention of the Kingdom of the Lost God?
Ma Wei hesitated for a while and made up his mind.
Now that the connection has been established, there is no reason to give up halfway. Practice is the most important thing.
He pulled Daniel and floated forward together with Yunia. The purple light spots became clearer and clearer, as if they felt that they were approaching. They no longer flickered, but lit up for a long time, guiding them on the way.
In the bright purple light, a huge stone gate carved with simple patterns gradually emerged. What shone brightly was the gems inlaid on the stone gate. If the gems refused to shine and entered the endless darkness, it would be almost impossible to discover the location of the stone gate.
Ma Wei knew in his heart that the lighted gem was an invitation sent to them by the being behind the stone gate.
Looking at the protruding lines on the stone door that were as complex and lush as tree branches, Ma Wei's consciousness stretched out a tentacle and gently pushed the stone door.
Squeak....
The stone door was pushed open a gap, and dazzling light peeked out from behind the door. Ma Wei continued to exert force, and the stone door slowly opened, dust fell, and the light became stronger and stronger.
Pushing open the stone door, Ma Wei was the first to walk into the light with a slightly excited mood.
The aroma of green grass came with the bright sunshine. Ma Wei opened his eyes and found himself standing at the foot of a green hillside. His body also recovered, wearing the priest's robe when he entered the endless darkness. Everything was So real, no different from the real world.
"teacher?"
The figures of Yunia and Daniel appeared next to Mavey, looking at the lush grassy land under their feet, the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and the birds chirping on the branches...
Daniel swallowed and said with a trembling voice: "This...is the Kingdom of the Bard God?"
"It should be."
Different from the Kingdom of the Real God Bage, the Kingdom of the Bard God is more like a projection of the real world, with vast skies, rolling mountains, quiet flowing rivers, and eagles soaring and circling in the sky... ..
The breeze blew, the grass swayed, and the rustling leaves sounded so real. Suddenly, Ma Wei felt that this was a real world.
He pinched Daniel's arm and asked, "Does it hurt?"
".....pain."
"It's not simple... The kingdom of God created by the gods can actually undergo such strange changes..."
Ma Wei raised his feet and walked forward. The soil was soft and the air was fresh, as if a light rain had just fallen. When he, Yunia and Daniel walked a certain distance, the stone door embedded in the soil slope behind him closed with a bang.
Smoke from birds and cooking fires rose from behind the hillside. Yunia hugged the stuffed bear and her white skirt fluttered in the breeze. Under the blue sky, she looked like an elf who had escaped from the world. She climbed over the hillside and screamed excitedly. : "Dad! Dad! There is a village!"
No way...
With suspicion, Ma Wei stepped onto the top of the slightly sloping slope and looked intently. Sure enough, he saw a small village located next to a river at the foot of the mountain.
In the village, there are faint figures walking around, and at the bottom of the hillside, children wearing pointed hats and gray linen clothes can be seen driving white sheep, and two brown-black German shepherds are surrounding the sheep. Run and lead the flock forward.
When Ma Wei and the other three were observing the children who were shepherding the sheep, the child who was holding a few stones and throwing them around also saw them and made eye contact. The child's raised arms were frozen in the air, motionless, as if they were petrified.
After a while, the child let out a strange cry, threw away the stones in his hand, and ran towards the village, shouting in a language that Ma Wei could not understand.
"Daniel, do you understand what he is shouting?" Mavey asked, glancing at the German shepherd who was standing next to the sheep to watch them.
"It seems to be the language used in Frederick's Kingdom, but it doesn't quite resemble..." Daniel listened carefully for a long time, frowning, and thought of a possibility: "He seems to be speaking Germanic... If Translated from Germanic... he was calling a stranger."
"Do you still understand Germanic?"
Ma Wei, who had taken minor languages as an elective, would not regard Germanic and Germanic languages as the same thing.
The Germanic language family is divided into four language branches: northern, western, and eastern. The Germanic language spoken by Daniel is most likely the most primitive Germanic language that differentiated from the ancient Indo-European language family in 2,000 BC.
"Teacher..." Daniel rolled his eyes: "Our Frederick family has lasted for so many years, and the language we use has changed many times. In order to understand the diaries and ancient books left by our ancestors, it is normal to learn ancient characters. Okay... If we have to say that our understanding and use of Germanic languages, our royal family, Frederick, is better than some language experts."
"What language is the diary about Heimyuk left by your ancestors in?"
"Germanic."
That's right...
Ma Wei took a deep breath and guessed from the language that the era of the Bard God should be the AD century that is older than the Apocalypse era. This is why the kid shepherding just now was speaking Germanic.
The people living in this kingdom of God should be a certain branch of the ancient Germanic nation. The outside world is turned upside down and times have changed. Here...
Enjoy yourself and enjoy yourself in a paradise.
"Dad! If there are ancient Germanic people living here, does it mean that I can eat cakes that I have never tasted before!"
"...I don't think you'll like their cakes."
Mavey was skeptical about the taste of the cakes made by the ancient Germans, and he did not think that people at that time could make more delicious desserts or foods than modern ones...
"Strange." Daniel suddenly muttered: "Teacher, don't you think it's strange?"
"A little."
Ma Wei nodded.
He was just surprised by the Kingdom of God created by the Bard God, but he was extremely surprised by the ancient Germans living in the Kingdom of God.
Because according to the origins he knew, bards were created by the Celts, not the ancient Germans. If the creator of Heimyuk is the god of bards, then she should be a Celtic god. That's right....
Why are the ancient Germans and not the Celts living in the kingdom of the Bard God?
While Ma Wei was meditating, many villagers poured out of the village. They held iron tools and stared at the three of Ma Wei on the hillside with vigilance. When Ma Wei saw clearly that there were many red-haired villagers living in the village, he felt... The doubts were instantly dispelled.
"So that's it...the nationalities are integrated...it looks like it should be the late Celtic era..." Mawei said to himself.
"Teacher, they are coming."
The villagers walked up the hillside, holding the forks and shovels tightly in their hands, and surrounded them, saying something loudly.
"They are asking us who we are," Daniel translated.
"Tell them we are guests of the Bard God."
"good."
Daniel organized his words and was about to speak when suddenly a woman's shout came from behind the crowd. The villagers immediately stepped aside and bowed their heads respectfully.
An old man in a white robe walked out of the crowd with the support of a red-haired woman. His turbid eyes swept across the faces of Ma Wei and the others, and in a hoarse voice, he said a few words to the surrounding villagers.
The wariness in the villagers' eyes disappeared, they lowered their weapons and no longer used hostile glances.
"This old man seems to be the village's Dru Yin, that is, the priest..." Daniel whispered: "He told the villagers that we are Luca's friends..."
"Luca? What Luca?"
"I don't know, it seems to be a name."
While Ma Wei and Daniel were talking, the red-haired woman helped the old man forward. The old man raised his arm with difficulty and pointed to the top of the mountain behind the village, where there was a stone temple, and uttered a few words.
"He asked us to go there to find Luca." Daniel said.
"Understood."
Ma Wei held his chest, bent down to thank the old man, picked up Yunia, and walked along a stone path up the mountain towards the top of the mountain with Daniel.
After climbing for more than half an hour, Ma Wei and the others finally arrived at the temple on the top of the mountain. The magnificent stone pillars had left traces of erosion over the years and were already dilapidated. However, there was no one inside the temple, except for a tall stone. idol.
The statue of the god wears a pointed hat with feathers, holds a harp, and has a plaid skirt... It is exactly the same as the shadow that appears when the minstrel sings.
"It seems we found the right one..."
Ma Wei wiped his sweat and looked around the temple for traces of the Bard God. The three of them turned the temple upside down, but could not find a single ghost.
"There's no one at all!" Daniel was confused: "What are you doing...hide and seek?"
"I like to play hide and seek the most!" Yunia said with a smile: "The Bard God is playing a game with us, Dad!"
I'm not in the mood to play games right now...
Just when Ma Wei was a little impatient, the melodious music of the harp suddenly sounded outside the temple.
The three of them rushed out of the temple, followed the sound of the piano, walked through the woods, and finally saw a figure sitting on a boulder with his back to them on the edge of the cliff.
The white feathers on the pointed hat were flying in the wind along with the red curly hair. The strings were plucked and the melodious music soothed the irritability in Ma Wei's heart. He became peaceful and quiet, and the sweat on his body disappeared.
"You...are the Bard God?" Daniel asked.
"I seem to have such a name."
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the figure sitting on the boulder slowly turned around, revealing an ordinary face, but the smile on his face was as warm as the sun, with a peaceful magic power.
"I like people to call me the God of Liberty, and the villagers also call me the Ageless Luca.... But I think that's right...."
The figure stood up, took off the pointed hat with feathers on his head, and said with a smile:
"I should be the Bard God you are looking for...Luka."
