Chapter 14: Hope for the Light

(PS: It's still a shift, I'm going to stay up and sleep again today, and it's estimated that the time difference will be completely normal tomorrow, and it's estimated that I can resume two shifts tomorrow.) )

Arthurd is a member of the seventeenth tribe of the Haear, this is a very strange way of naming the tribe, all the tribes that belong to the Haul tribe are named after the number plus the district, which is in stark contrast to the rest of the races around the Haul tribe, whether they are Drow Elves, Black Iron Dwarves, or One-Eyed Demons, Trolls and other racial tribes, which is why Arthurd has always believed that the legendary ancestral history is true, they are not the original indigenous underground dwellers, their ancestors are humans!

In the seventeenth community, Arthur is a special person, not to say how special his background is, his parents are just ordinary clansmen in the tribe, neither wizard blood, nor tribal patriarch blood, let alone the descendants of some special person, to be exact, he himself is an ordinary clansman, there seems to be nothing special.

But he is different, although he is an ordinary clan, but he is a well-known genius in the black-eared tribe, not only a genius who practices martial arts, he became a big warrior before the age of thirty, this is one of them, and the second is that he actually knows how to write, although according to the unwritten rules of the black-eared tribe, any clansman can learn words from wizards after becoming a big warrior, and read extremely precious books, but the clansmen who have really become big warriors, no one has to learn literature at all, you must know that the big warriors are equivalent to the patron saints of the tribe, and they bear all the armed battles of the tribe to the outside world, including hunting, including disputes with the black-eared tribes, including life and death with foreign tribes, including their own strength and strength exercises, under such a lot of things, do they still have the energy, or that they are still interested in learning words?

So writing has always been the patent of wizards, and Arthurd, as a genius warrior, actually systematically studied the writing of the Black-Ear Tribe, and at the same time read almost all the books of the Black-Ear Tribe, this alone is enough for him to be famous, in fact, it is true, his reputation has spread, and even the aristocratic girls of the Black-Ear Headquarters have thrown flattering eyes at him......

If that's the case, then it's just a legend of genius, but that's not how things end, when Arthurd read all the books of the Black Ear tribe, he returned to his own tribe, that is, the seventeenth tribe of the Black Ear, he actually personally found the patriarch and the great wizard, hoping that they could organize an expedition to find the legendary ancestral relics, such an incredible opinion, it is said that the patriarch and the great wizard were dumbfounded at that time, and then refused him without hesitation.

This is actually a very normal and simple thing, if you want to use the modern earth as a metaphor, it is about equivalent to a genius scientist, a great scientist who won the Nobel Prize at a young age, suddenly found the national leader, and said, let's spend a huge price to organize an operation, the purpose of this action is to find the axe that Pangu opened the sky back then...... That's about it.

Arthurd at the vigil...... In fact, there is no such thing as night and day in the three layers of the earth, and Arthur does not know what the so-called night and day are, which is recorded in the ancient tribal books he reads, which describe that human beings live in a flat and boundless land, and there are no rocks on the top of the land, and there will be light shining from the top of the head, and the whole world is full of light, full of clean and sweet water, everywhere are edible insects and animals, everywhere are sweet plants and fruits, everywhere ...... According to the description in the book, it is a paradise on earth that can be compared to the eternal resting place of ancestors after death, and it is a blessed land that can be enjoyed by the living!

But no one believed the descriptions in those books, those books were considered legends, myths, Arabian Nights, fantasies of the ancients, the author's vent on the way of the world, and there were no rocks overhead? What are you kidding, aren't the empty ones just falling out? And they're all light, what are you kidding, aren't those high-level creatures able to see them from a long distance?

In short, no one believes what Arthurd said, and no one believes the descriptions of the first land of mankind in those ancient books, including the tribal wizards who guarded this knowledge, in their words, to forgive the ignorance of the ancients, the exploration of the world is still at the point of pure imagination, but after all, this is the handwriting of the ancestors, so it has its own value to stay.

But Arthur was convinced of this, not that he was ignorant, or that he was easily deceived, on the contrary, he liked to pursue the root of some things, and he did not simply look at the description like heaven, he saw in it a worldview that logic was completely self-consistent, in that world, although there were no rocks above their heads, but people had their feet on the earth, just like him and all his people, they would not fall to the top of the rock above their heads, so even if there was nothing above their heads, they would not fall out directly。

At the same time, there don't seem to be many world-level creatures, so after having a lot of light, you don't have to worry about being discovered and attacked by level-level creatures from time to time, and then there is the problem of a large number of plants and ordinary creatures...... Arthur personally observed that in places with more fluorescent veins, there are often more plants than in other places, and there are often more insects and ordinary animals there, although the number is not obvious, but if you compare carefully, this gap does exist, so if there is really a place full of light, it is estimated that there will be a lot of plants, a lot of water sources, and a lot of ordinary animals...... At least much more than here.

And...... Shine......

Arthur still remembers that when he was very young, the tribe was attacked by a frenzy of hierarchical creatures, and from the darkness a steady stream of various hierarchical creatures appeared, and then he saw one of his older brothers being dragged into the darkness, and there was only a howl of pain, very briefly, followed by the sound of flesh and bones tearing, and he could even see monsters and blood in the darkness......

Since then, he has been very afraid of the dark, this is an unspeakable thing, and no one will believe in the great warrior of a tribe, and it is for the tribe to be born and die, and the great warrior who has brought glory to the tribe several times will actually be afraid of the dark......

He wanted to see the sun, the source of the endless light described in the book, the light that shone down from the top of his head, the light that could illuminate the whole world, and he wanted to see the sun, even if it was only once, even if it was only for a second......

He wants to see the sun!

As Arthurd looked at the fire, at the sleeping people behind him, and at the meat hidden in the depths of the cavern, he withdrew his gaze and looked into the darkness, wishing he could see the sun......

In the next few days, Arthurd led everyone to guard here, and the team members who went to the tribe station to deliver the message lived up to his trust, and the other two great warriors of the tribe led a large number of tribesmen to arrive, they were overjoyed after seeing the meat in the cave, and under the protection of the three great warriors, including Arthurd, everyone returned to the tribe station without encountering any danger, and everyone was praising and chanting Arthurd's exploits, he once again proved the glory and value of his great warrior, and once again helped the tribe through the difficulties......

Arthur didn't care about this, he was drawn to another thing, and when he returned to the tribe, he learned something from the Great Wizard, which was very abrupt, and also completely overwhelmed and unable to explain the Patriarch and the Great Wizard...... In the center of the tribe, the ancestral stone, which has been guarded by the tribal patriarch for generations, shines from a crystal pillar that is one person tall and the thickness of an arm......

"The Stone of the Ancestors!?It is written in the book, this is ......"

"Ancestral relics opened!?" (To be continued.) )
