Endless Debt

Boluogo lay among the green weeds, feeling the moist dew among the green leaves and the soft soil beneath him... Everything here was so relaxing.

Fengyuan Highlands has not always been so inaccessible. There are few people here, just because it is in the core hinterland of the Klekes family. In an era where information is so developed, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Klekes family has controlled the core area.

However, there are many traces of human activities in the areas outside the core area, and there are even corresponding towns. Most of them are run by the Clerks family and bring huge wealth to the family every year.

I heard from Palmer that in recent years, due to the development of industrialization and the beautiful environment of Fengyuan Highlands, more and more people have come to Fengyuan Highlands to live and retire. For this reason, the Clarks family has been ruthless in selling their houses. Made a fortune.

Palmer said that if it weren't for his own responsibilities, he thought it would be nice to open a resort in Fengyuan Heights.

Aimu is like a child... to be precise, she is a child. She and Bologg find a place to lie down and feel the tranquility of life. Aimu relies on her infinite energy to run happily in the wilderness, I met Laika who crawled out of the nest, and rode Laika all the way.

Laika also seemed quite happy, and she had a good impression of this guest who violated a healthy diet and secretly fed himself delicious food.

Only Palmer felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Laika running around happily, he was a little worried about Laika's old body.

Like the Wind Erosion Bird, Laika is also an alchemical creature. It is based on the foundation stone of the dog and is augmented by alchemical technology to create the Wind Chasing Dog.

The difference between the two is that the Wind Erosion Bird is a kind of degraded alchemy creature. It does not have any mind. It only relies on biological instincts to fight and is extremely bloodthirsty. It can basically be regarded as a biological consumption weapon. .

As a wind-chasing dog, Laika has a certain level of intelligence and a loyal character, and with years of training, it can perform more complex tactics.

During the long development of the Clerks family, in an era before industrialization had begun, in order to control the huge territory of the Windyuan Highlands, they created the alchemical creature called the Wind Chaser.

Unlike Laika who now has nothing to do but let people rub the dog's head and eat and drink, the wind-chasing dogs in history were all wearing iron armor and relied on their extremely fast speed and strength to bite the enemy's head into pieces.

They even appeared in the Dawn War a hundred years ago. Due to the backwardness of alchemy matrix technology, the coalition relied largely on these alchemy creatures as auxiliary forces during combat.

After the gradual and in-depth exploration of the secret source and the advancement of alchemical matrix technology in recent years, these alchemical creatures, which are expensive to build and have huge maintenance costs, have gradually retreated from the stage of history.

Solid railways and roaring internal combustion engines replaced the Wind Chasing Dogs. The cultivation of these alchemical creatures decreased year by year. To this day, only a few are still cultivated in the Morrowind Stronghold as a witness to history.

It was also from then on that Laika relieved herself of her responsibilities as a combat unit and became Palmer's playmate, taking him around for fun.

Nowadays, running around with Aimu can be regarded as Laika's specialty.

Palmer sat down next to Burlogo, when Burlogo suddenly said, "Actually, I always thought Laika was dead."

"ha?"

"Isn't it? Only dead things need to be commemorated with names."

"You are really..." Palmer didn't know what to say for a moment, but when he saw Laika, his eyes became sad again, "Actually, I'm quite surprised that Laika can live for so long. "

"According to the book, the average lifespan of a Windchasing Dog is about fifteen years, and Laika was my birthday gift when I was six years old," Palmer simply calculated. "It is already a complete grandfather. .”

Bologo keenly noticed Palmer's hidden emotions, "Laika is still alive, but why are you so sad?"

Palmer said angrily, "I am very happy to see it alive, but when I think about it dying, I feel sad... Is this difficult to understand?"

"What a surprise," Boluogo commented unceremoniously, "I didn't expect your emotions to be so sensitive and delicate."

"What do you mean by accident? I care very much about everything that involves my personal emotions, right?"

"But I never saw you like this when you and I were working."

Burlogo recalled the experience of the two working together. Either he was implicated in Palmer's misfortune, or he was responsible for all the work, while Palmer stood aside in a daze.

Then there are only two answers left, either Palmer is lying, or this guy doesn't care about Burlogo as his partner.

"You are an immortal!"

Palmer emphasized, "You're definitely not going to die."

"so?"

"So I don't have to worry about your death," Palmer emphasized again, "You are eternal, you will not die, I don't have to worry about losing you, it's so relaxing."

When talking about immortality, Palmer's expression was extremely relaxed. He clearly knew that he was an immortal, but his expression made Boluogo think that he was the immortal.

"Don't look at him like this, this guy has a very sensitive personality."

Church sat aside, and as Palmer's former partner, he had a say.

"After I was injured, this guy acted like he wanted to make it up to me. He treated me to guests every day, and he couldn't pay the rent because of it... He spent some time on the sofa in the activity room."

Qiu Qi said and pointed to his own eye. It was an alchemical eyeball, and it was also the flaw of Qiu Qi's secret power, Faceless Man.

Palmer glared at Church. The feeling of being exposed was terrible, but when he saw Church's eyes, his aura weakened again.

Church seemed no longer angry about what happened before. He probably never cared about it and just thought Palmer's reaction would be funny.

Burlogo lay completely relaxed on the grass, Palmer hugged his knees and looked into the distance, Church put his hands on the ground and rested his other hand on his arched knees.

The three of them sat together, looking at Aimu being carried around by Laika in the distance, the cute dog and the cute girl on the green field. They all couldn't help but feel that there was nothing better than this.

"I just……"

Palmer began to think, and continued to think along the same train of thought in the morning, thinking about his own thoughts, his relationship with Vosilin, and many other difficult questions.

Gradually, Palmer realized one thing. Although life in Oath City Opos was full of conspiracies and fighting, these things could all be solved through violence.

As a field clerk, Palmer is good at violence, not to mention he has an extremely violent partner.

There are almost no worries in working life. After get off work, it is the never-ending drinking party of the Immortal Club...

Palmer found that his life in Oath City Opus had not made any psychological progress at all. His psychology now was no different from that of himself when he first entered the workplace.

Work was a good excuse for Palmer to escape the many worries and curses that had plagued him since childhood.

"I'm just... scared of losing."

The breeze caressed his soft heart. It was probably this scene that made Palmer extremely relaxed, so he couldn't help but mention the thought he had hidden.

"It makes me sad to think that Laika, who has been with me for so long, is going to die."

Palmer said and glanced sideways at Church, "The same goes for you. When I think about how we almost died in that ceremony, I feel so panicked."

Church's prosthetic eye not only reminded Palmer of his crazy past, but also always warned him that he almost lost his partner.

Church said, "As a member of the Order Bureau, you should ignore death."

"No, I can ignore my own death. Really, I think death is nothing to me." Palmer shook his head. "But I can't accept the death of others and the destruction of things I care about. This makes me unable to accept it." Bear."

"I can feel it," Boluogo nodded. "I could sense it when you told me about your idea of ​​the afterlife."

"Why?"

Palmer didn't understand. In his eyes, Boluogo was a complete freak. Sometimes he was extremely slow, and sometimes he was extremely sharp. It was unclear whether he really didn't understand anything or was just pretending. Don't understand.

“I still didn’t understand it at first, but since we got the matching car, I suddenly realized it.”

Burlogo couldn't remember which day it was, but it was another night after get off work. Palmer happily hummed along to the radio, pounded the steering wheel from time to time, and cursed the cars in front of him.

The guy was so happy, and the scene in Palmer's afterlife was so similar to the present.

"Sitting in the car with friends, driving on the endless road...eternal joy, eternal friends, eternal companionship, eternal banquet."

Burlogo commented, "This is too good to guess."

Palmer was speechless by Bologg. In fact, Palmer himself had never thought about these things, but thinking about what Bologg said, he felt that Bologg was right.

Palmer loved this feeling, being with friends and having fun that never ended, like now, it felt great.

But the sad thing is that Aimu will get tired of playing, Laika will get tired, the sun will set, the night will fall, and the three of them cannot sit here forever...

Everything must come to an end, just like no matter how heavy a poem is, there is an end page.

"I seem to know why I am so afraid of Woxilin."

Palmer thought of something and murmured.
