Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 94: Crossing the river

It took Lothar some time from finding the tree to approaching it. The fatigue of the body prevented the count from accurately measuring his speed of travel, and there was no way of knowing how long he had gone. What he knew was that when he started to approach the tree, an inexplicable power began to appear in his body, which made the Earl, who suffered from hunger, a little more comfortable, but also semi-compulsive Drive him to the only towering thing in the wasteland. Lothar also tried to go in the opposite direction without following this will, but as soon as he did so, most of the remaining power in his body was instantly drawn away, and the sudden sense of disengagement almost made him fall directly to the ground He has no other choice.

Well, this is not the first time he has encountered such a thing. This situation is called a summoning or guiding situation. Lothar has started to feel a little numb. He took a deep breath and looked at the giant tree that was gradually beyond the edge of his sight. Okay, let's take a look at what this time wants to call me to.

The river water is cold and biting, and I don't know the truth. If you can, Lothar does n’t want to force the river to cross in this way, which is too dangerous, even if he knows that the river is a clear source of drinkable water. In the Bay of Distress, the Earl learned one thing: water, when its volume reaches the magnitude of a lake, can never look at it in the same way as a stream. You can never guess what is hiding under the seemingly clear water. Maybe it is an undercurrent that is several times more turbulent than the surface water flow, maybe it is a vortex that will pull people into the bottom, or it is a caress of the drowned.

Losa had no choice, he had no choice. Even if ten thousand reluctances, he had to cross the river, because the tree is on the other side of the river, and he ca n’t be sure that he will get closer to the weird big tree. It will be like what he is familiar with these two days. In fact, the Earl is a bit worried. It makes no sense that the upper stream of a river will be dirty than the lower stream. But then again, this wilderness is originally a space that cannot be explained by common sense. Who can know what the river is here The flow of the law?

It is not his style to continue to hesitate. Lotsa faced the river. He specially selected a section of the river that looks calmer and has a narrower surface as the crossing place. However, such a passage is not without hidden dangers. If the same flow of river water flows into a narrower channel but it is calmer than before, it can only explain one thing. This channel is much deeper than it can be seen from the shore. The depth of the water is better for the current count than wide and anxious. So he took off his clothes and used them to tie the axe to his back to reduce the resistance of the water flow.

"Come on, Xiaohe can't stop you, have you seen the sea, right? Have you already wandered in the deep sea, right?" Lothar moved slightly, trying to cheer himself up. But even if he said more about self-motivation, he did not use his right hand to touch the spider-shaped amulet hanging on his chest to give him great strength, "Hoo, bless me, let me return to our daughter."

The water splash did not splash much because one person entered the water. Lothar's body was tensed together under the stimulation of cold water. He had to control his muscles very hard so as not to freeze himself. At this time, it may be better to dive slightly below the water surface, because the water body itself has the ability to keep warm, and the water flow below the surface is often warmer than the shallow layer. Lothar didn't do this because when he entered the water, he glanced down and he saw nothing. And this does not mean that there is nothing there. On the contrary, the bright light source on this wasteland cannot penetrate the water deep like the sun. In the range visible to the naked eye, the river water becomes dark and invisible like ink staining.

He couldn't venture into deeper water, even if it was indeed warmer than the surface. Lothar gritted her teeth and tried to swing her limbs, turning her eyes away from the darkness below and staring intently at the opposite bank. Nothing under him matters, as long as the darkness and the things it may contain do not reach him.

The Earl's tour was so focused that he did not notice that behind him, the originally clear surface river was also becoming dark. The darkness that rises from below seems to be an ignorant monster, tracking the traces of prey by instinct. The tiny streams that extend out of the darkness spread towards Loza's body in a way completely contrary to the current, like the tentacles of an octopus, and like the tender shoots of plants protruding toward the sun. But when these dark streams approached, they were destroyed and dissipated by invisible forces. The battle axe on Lothar's back gave off light, and at the same time exuded heat to warm its owner. However, the temperature provided by the witch hunt knife was really difficult to detect in this cold water flow, and Lothar did not notice it.

"Hoo! Suck!" Ventilation on the water again, the other side in sight is not far away. At this rate, only one more air change is required to go ashore, and only one more air change is required.

Why do you want to go to the other side? A voice whispered in the ear. Is there anything you want on the other side? What is the difference between where you want to go and where you come from?

I have no choice, I want to go to that tree, I want to leave here, I want to go back to Helen. He answered with bloodshot eyes.

is it. You have no choice. very pitiful. But have you ever thought, even if you return to your daughter, how long can you stay with her? She is five years old this year. When she is a little older, when she is ten or fifteen, will she still call you dad? When you get back the Heishan collar, will she still be that naive child? You do n’t know the aristocratic world, the adult world, the real world, what they look like? She will become a woman hiding from you and the boy's private society ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ She will indulge in the song and dance banquet and no longer listen to your story, she will eventually find another man and spend time with him For a long time together, leaving you and those memories to grow old in nothingness, waiting for you to take your axe, she will even wait for you to die so that she can become the Baroness of Montenegro. Is this your choice?

This is a matter of course, who in this world has not walked his life like this? You are asking stupid questions.

is it? But if everyone is like this, why would you spend your life slowly to see it come true? You can see your ending now, do you have to go there step by step? Anyway, you will die in the end, why not leave now? While your daughter still loves you, while your friends haven't seen you look too old. Why not go to her in this way?

Losa smiled, and he swayed his stiff arm again, rushed out of the darkness that surrounded him, and surfaced again. When he gasped to the shore and looked back at the river again, he slowly said, "Because you live, you can see the expectations come true. Because you live, you can meet the unexpected surprises. I am not a wizard, It ’s not God, how do I know that the future I see is correct? I do n’t know anything, so I have to live so that I can know what I ca n’t imagine without knowing. ”

When Losa tried to put the battle axe down, he found that his back was burned. But he didn't mean to blame the Battle Axe. Without it, he would have sunk to the bottom of the river. The earl held his arms, "Who said metal is always cold."
