Lord of the Silver Crow

While walking, the leader among the three travellers felt that something was wrong.

Although the other two of the three are here for the first time, he himself has been here several times.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get here just by relying on the map.

Traveling is a very dangerous thing.

In a place where no one lives, there is no fire supplement, as long as the lantern is turned off, then death is waiting for them.

Therefore, every traveler, every traveler, will bring a lot of fuel fire.

In the process of traveling, it is not a map to rely on, but a memory of topographical markings.

Just like his map is full of various important terrain marking notes.

This church, six or seven years ago, when he was still a rookie, Mr. Conker, who took him on a trip, took him here.

He can't say that he remembers very clearly, but in his memory, the church is magnificent, compared to the months he had stayed in before...

When he reached the destination, when he reached the church, he was even more stunned.

He looked at the scorched church in front of him with some bewilderment.

This is, just experienced a fire?

The other two travellers couldn't help but glance at the "green" young man beside them with suspicious and wary eyes.

The young man, or Yago, also frowned.

Burnt church?

The church after the fire?

Yago's gaze swept around quickly.

He was no longer in the mood to answer the questions and doubts of the three.

Soon, his vision caught a flash of shadow.

That shadow...is it Shanna?

Yago, of course, immediately thought of Shana, who was closely related to this church and may have been a member of the Spiral Theatre.

His right hand grasped the handle of the lantern, and in the light revealed by the fire dispelling the darkness, Yago moved towards the position where the shadow was.

Faced with Yago's silent action, the three travellers couldn't help but feel a little confused while on guard.

"What happened to Hansen?"

"This church...it's kind of weird."

"It's the fire."

"Didn't he say that he brought things here? There are still people living in this church?"

The traces of this fire do not seem to have been burned recently.

Recently?

Among the three travellers, the leader heard these words, and didn't know why, something seemed to come to mind.

However, he couldn't catch this flash of inspiration.

In a sense of loss, in a strange trance, he said to the other two:

"Let's go and see too."

"Mittel?" One person was a little puzzled.

"Are you not interested in what else is left in this church?"

The leader of the three, the man known as Mittel, relied on his knowledge of the two and said with the reason that most aroused the interest of the two.

"of course!"

"there must be!"

Almost at the same time, the two responded.

Mittel also beckoned to the two of them, took out two spare lanterns from their backpacks, and the two took out the fuel bottles from their backpacks, poured them carefully into the lanterns, and took the lanterns. After Mittel opened the lampshade, he borrowed the fire to light the lantern:

"No matter what the guy Hansen wants to do, we have to be careful, the old rules, if we find anything, we will come back here to meet..."

"If Hansen..." the other person who was relatively silent said at this time, and the sentence was stretched meaningfully.

Mittel shrugged. He understood the hidden meaning of the other party, and just smiled casually:

"If he didn't do anything special, it's not necessary, but if he does, you are free."

Although they travel in various places, although they will earn money by working in various regions, this does not mean that they are good crops.

For the evaluation of himself and others, Mittel can only evaluate it as "it is unnecessary and will not take the initiative to do something special".

As for what this "special thing" is, it depends on the situation.

But when the fuel is exhausted, you encounter someone else, but the other person refuses to trade...

But when they don't have enough travel expenses...

When they find something with "enough" value...

As long as it meets the conditions, it is acceptable.

After all, there is no law here.

legal? What is the law?

A trace of doubt flashed in Mittel's mind, but he didn't think about it. After looking at each other, the three of them acted separately.

......

Entering this castle-like church, Yago relied on the memory of the church in his "dream", and walked in this church familiarly.

The ground illuminated by the fire was full of ashes of various black-gray and white powder residues.

Oh no, black gray may be ashes, but white, it may be wall ashes.

Step on... step on...

Footsteps echoed in the silent church, and Yago stepped on the road paved with ashes that seemed to have been burned by a fire.

Soon, he found Shana's room.

That small room without windows.

While guarding carefully, Yago's gaze swept across the room, and for the first time, his gaze fell on the wall.

But unlike in his dreams a few times, there was no strange snake portrayed as an infinite symbol on the wall of this now empty room.

This room, which was also covered with a lot of ashes, looked empty.

In this room, there is no bed, only a pile of charcoal remnants on the left and right sides.

It seems that it was probably left behind by things like boxes.

This room still looks like a warehouse.

The vague memory from the previous “dreaming” of becoming a church person told him that this room, before Shana moved in, was a warehouse, a warehouse where sundries were piled up.

Then...

This is the time before the old nun Hurley adopts Shanna?

From Attila, his understanding of the dream world ended from his memories of hundreds of deaths, and Yago made his judgment.

Now, the time in this church where he is is before the old nun Hurley adopts Shanna.

But was this church burned down at that time?

No, according to the rules of this dream world, my own perception is not "real-time" and is not accurate.

The church he knew hadn’t been burned before that time, but what about after he knew it?

As I said before, the time in this dream world is staggered and looped.

The present can also affect the past.

To some extent, the past can also be the future.

In other words, every point in time can be the future.

The past, present, and future can all be the future.

The past was not burned down, but at some time "after", the church was set ablaze, and then it affected the past-

The flame ignited the church in the past from the "now" and from the "future", which is also in line with the laws of this dream world.

Non-linear messy time map.

Here, the reliability of "history", "past", and "memory" has been reduced a lot.

What an annoying pattern.
