Chapter 1003: The First Sage and the Husky
The first memory of Lily's life begins with a cold winter full of ice and snow.
She couldn't remember the name of that place, the location of the mountains and forests, or even the country she was in, or what the person who adopted her looked like. All she remembered was waking up next to a hut deep in the woods, and it was a cold year.
In the cold winter, when the snow covers the mountains, the white snow bends the branches of the century-old trees, and the sleigh marks and rutted horse prints on the snow are blurred by the north wind overnight, and she lies in a kennel covered with felt blankets and straw mats, and is awakened by a cold wind.
There was a litter of fluffy puppies around him.
In the first few thoughts of Lily's life, she knew that the puppies were her brothers and sisters, but soon, these vague thoughts disappeared as her mental world continued to be reshaped, and the "personality" part of her completely banished the "beast" part within seconds of her first opening of her eyes, and for many years after that, she went from believing that she was a human being to believing that she was a werewolf, but she could not remember that she had been lying on the same blanket with a group of fluffy little huskies.
An old couple - they were the owners of the cabin in the woods - were awakened by the commotion of the dogs, and they were shocked to find the little girl crawling out of the doghouse, and then realized that it was a gift from God.
Lily's mind wandered through the moments she had forgotten.
She seldom mentioned that her early memories were as bad as Vivien's, that the cold, remote village and the endless mountains and forests beyond it were always a vague image in her mind. At a very young age. Her spiritual world is fragile and unstable, as if it is constantly being transformed and rebuilt. Frequent fainting and amnesia. And her sluggish response to external stimuli even led the elderly couple who adopted her to think that she was an intellectually disabled child - they believed that this was the reason for her "abandonment". Lily couldn't speak until she was five years old, and she couldn't communicate well with the other children in the village until she was almost ten years old. She spends more time mingling with the sled dogsβher adoptive parents live in the woods a little away from the village, and a large group of sled dogs are an important asset in the family, and Lily spends much more time with them than she spends with the others.
As she tried to huddle with the dogs and slip the sled rope on herself, her adoptive parents finally realized that the child's eccentricity didn't seem to be intellectual, and they remembered the little husky that had been missing from the kennel in the early years.
And when Lily grows ears and tail when she accidentally runs into the woods and gets lost in a panic, she also realizes that she is different.
Guided by Mimir, Lily's memories continue to wander as she sees herself fighting wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Seeing yourself slowly learning to make contact with people and hiding your specialness, seeing the villagers show horror at their ageless faces and great strength, seeing yourself leave the village and wander far away. She saw the small towns on the border of Russia, the smoke of the houses in Heilongjiang, the war, the chaos, the warlords, and the gentry. Seeing a country that is thriving in turmoil, watching its imperial city collapse, watching its new city rise......
Mimir's voice suddenly sounded in the depths of her mind: "...... Little girl, you are going backwards, not modern. It's for you to look forward! β
Lily was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing, so she quickly grabbed the thoughts that had begun to slip away. Go back to the beginning of this life.
On that cold winter morning, in that little kennel. Her spirit was dragged by Mimir to continue to go back, directly jumping over the barrier of "the beginning of this life". Lily suddenly felt her body feel lighter. She found herself disembodied and floating over the boundless ice fields of Siberia.
Time continued to rewind, she floated across Siberia, across the Arctic Circle, floating in the sky and earth shrouded in aurora, staring at the ice crystal bunker in the cold wind, and some intermittent memories finally surfaced.
ββ¦β¦ There was a curse, Vivien's name was erased, and the sword must have been jealous of her. I probably don't have much to live, but Vivien will definitely come back one day, and I'm going to leave something behind. β
"It's over, it's all over, we should listen to her...... That sword is cursed, it's all finished......"
ββ¦β¦ It's dangerous for you to do that! I don't think this sword is a good thing, and I feel distraught when I look at it. There are so many good things in this ruin, why do you have to be interested in a strange sword......"
"It's full of treasures! Patriarch, this is a large group of ruins! Not only will we be able to spend the winter here, but we will also be able to make our home here forever! Food is a problem, but it can be shipped from outside! It's at least safe here......"
Lily's memories weaved through the jumble of words, which she could hear were spoken by different people at different times, and they were arranged in reverse chronological order.
Eventually, her mind travels back to what Mimir knew was the "original origin", the earliest memory that Mimir could take her to. It was a cold morning, as cold as the morning she was "born" in the kennel as "Lily the Werewolf".
Vivien? Ansesta sat in front of her, the big vampire holding a bowl of hot vegetable soup in his hand, and a happy look on his face: "The ice giant is coming again?" You can't beat them...... Oh yes, I know a place where it's safe and it's not cold inside! You can go over there for the winter! I call it 'Colpers' because I accidentally found it when I was chasing those lights in the sky a while ago......"
With a crisp sound like glass cracking, Runi's words in the chamber fell, and Mimir and Lily woke up from their trance almost simultaneously.
"Found?"
The crowd watching the ritual was almost unanimous, and even Itzhax was quite concerned about it.
Mimir blinked: "This little girl is indeed the First Saint, but it is very different from ordinary reincarnation or rebirth. β
"What's the difference?" This time, Hao Ren and Vivian spoke in unison.
"As I said before, the First Saint was severely injured and died in the light of Vivien's red moon," Mimir's eyes turned to Vivien, "the light of the red moon tore her soul apart, and that's the point." After the death of the First Saint, her soul was torn apart, but instead of dying, it was stabilized by the distorted power of time and space in the Spirit Clock Tower, and some souls wandered in this tower and became the so-called 'Echo of the Holy Spirit', while the other part ......"
"Drifted outside?" Vivien interjected without waiting for Mimir to finish.
"That's right, this part of the soul has been wandering the Arctic for many years, getting weaker and weaker, but it has never really dissipated," Mimir blinked her eyelids instead of nodding, "and as the remnant's connection to the Ice Fortress grew weaker, she escaped this place and drifted somewhere on the border between Europe and Asia. At last...... Uh, the last ......"
Mimir suddenly slurred a little, and Hao Ren couldn't help but be a little anxious: "What happened in the end?" β
"I don't know how, but in the end, the soul of the First Saint burrowed into the body of a newborn husky."
Everyone: "......"
The scene was a little cold, but Hao Ren thought about it, but felt that there was nothing wrong: "It's normal, isn't Lily just a husky." Anyway, I'm used to it, and at this time, at most, I know how her kind of clan came to be......"
Lily bared her teeth at Hao Ren in protest, but the cute appearance of the big tail flicking around was no deterrent.
"Then why didn't she know anything about it?" Itzhax touched his chin, "Soul rebirth is the best way to regenerate, even a wisp of remnant soul is enough to retain most of the memories." β
This time, even the knowledgeable Mimir couldn't figure out the reason, and several experts in soul science and occultism at the scene discussed it together for a long time without coming to a conclusion, and finally Hao Ren slapped him: "Hey, isn't this simple - the dog's brain is not enough!" β
Everyone: "......"
Hao Ren shrugged: "Even if the first saint has great wisdom, she will be blinded if she is stuffed into the head of a husky." I estimate that after the first saint and the husky fused, they first underwent a complete transformation, a saint, a husky, these two add up to average, the saint and the dog are gone, and there is only one Lily left......"
"Although Hao Ren is very brainy, I actually think it makes sense," Vivien glanced at Hao Ren with a strange expression, and then quietly pointed to Lily next to Hao Ren, "Also, you be careful, she is going to ......"
"Whew!"
ββ¦β¦ Bite you. (To be continued.) )
