Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 336 【0332】 Horlock’s Past

Kalya has never liked to mention his past.

Whether it is his secretiveness in the small world or his vague words when asked, it is his resistance to self-expression.

Kalya did tell Lux many stories about Shurima's past, but among these stories, the body shape of "Karya" never existed.

Even though many details in the story actually come from Kalya himself, he is still unwilling to directly insert himself into the story when telling it.

Lux had noticed this problem before, but when asked about it, Kalya's answer made her quite helpless: "I haven't cooled down yet!"

Over time, Lux and even Sona and Ino got used to the fact that Kalya subtly removed herself from the story when telling it.

However, when talking about the owner of the Huangqiu Divine Tomb this time, after hesitating for a moment, Kalya actually took the initiative to add himself in the story.

"He is my best friend." This time Kalya finally did not start like a bard telling a story, but used a relatively plain statement, but it made Lux and Ino widen their eyes at the same time, " A guy with whom I have a good relationship, but whose personality is almost completely opposite to mine.”

"It's unbelievable." Lux leaned into Ino's ear and whispered, "It's completely opposite to Kalya's personality. What would it be like?"

"He is very serious." Kalya seemed not to hear Lux's muttering and continued, "No matter what he does, he is meticulous, methodical, rigid and abides by the rules."

Kalya's description made Lux and Ino even more surprised.

It is really hard for the two of them to imagine that Kalya would get along seriously with a rigid guy. After all, in their understanding, Kalya has never been in harmony with following rules, but has always been more interested in building a set of rules that they prefer. interest.

"I know what you are surprised about. Do you think it is difficult for us to be friends?" Kalya sighed and said in a helpless tone, "Actually, I am very easy to get along with - for those who follow the rules and I have always been full of respect for people who never have double standards. Although I became friends with Horlock in the first place because I had no choice, but to be honest, having such a friend... it feels good."

"So, Horlock is the same age as you?"

"If you have to say, maybe a little older than me." This question made Kalya hesitate, "It's just a few years older - Setaka was the eldest sister in the tribe at that time, and Horok He is her top thug."

Hearing this, Lux and Ino looked at each other, and both of them made a judgment at the same time: In other words, Horlock is very good at fighting, and is most likely an ascendant.

"But to be honest, when I first joined the tribe, the situation in Shurima was much worse than it is now. Being able to fight is very important, but being able to fight is obviously not enough." Kalya's tone finally became more nostalgic, " In fact, sometimes I don’t understand what people’s fighting talent is. It’s obvious that Horlock’s wooden head can’t figure out any exquisite fighting plan, but he can always have a flash of inspiration at critical moments..."

Kalya's complaint made Lux have a rather subtle feeling for the first time. I don't know if it was an illusion. When she talked about Horlock, especially when she talked about "Horlock is very good at fighting", Kalya's tone was filled with unspeakable envy.

Especially when Karya said something like "invincible at the same level" and "50/50 at higher levels", Lux felt a little subtle.

This situation surprised Lacus, who had seen Karya's brief "calling". She really couldn't imagine what that Horlock looked like, so that Karja would use such a tone when speaking other times.

"You haven't seen a truly complete Ascendant or Darkin." Sensing Lux's doubts, Kalya explained by the way, "The difference between a demigod and a transcendent is quite astonishing... and The gap between demigods and demigods is often greater than that between demigods and transcendent beings. Horlock is one of the few who has reached the realm of demigods before ascending, and even reached the pinnacle of demigods after ascension. .”

"What about you?" Ino couldn't help but ask, "According to your judgment, who do you think you are when you are in your prime?"

"I just entered the realm of demigods." This very common question made Kalya feel a little embarrassed. "Well, I should say that he is a demigod with a solid foundation!"

Ino's eyes widened.

The corners of Lux's mouth turned up slightly.

"Ahem, let's continue talking about Horlock." Kalya seemed a little uncomfortable and took the initiative to bring the topic back to Horlock, "In short, he is the kind of serious and old-fashioned person who can embarrass you with a joke. A numb guy, and according to Setaka, he was already like this when he was twelve years old."

"But you still became his friend."

"That's because I have a brain!" Kalya finally said in a triumphant tone, "Setaka is the heart, I am the brain, and Horok is the fist. This is the iron triangle that established Shurima. "

"Heart, fists and brain?" Lux blinked, "Didn't you say that Setaka is also good at fighting?"

"The heart is a person's strongest muscle." A Freljord proverb from Kalja explains, "Compared to being able to fight, Setaka's leadership played a more critical role in the establishment of Shurima. ——She can always unite everyone and rush forward with all the members of the tribe roaring. This is not a simple ability."

"..."

"Let's go back to Horok." Kalya continued, "After Shurima was officially established, that guy became an Ascended One. Although he had outstanding achievements, he gave up the position of Imperial Marshal with great self-knowledge and settled down peacefully. Became a general."

"Because he's not good at commanding?"

"That's right." Kalya confirmed Lax's statement, "Such a strict guy always has a clear understanding of himself, and this clear self-understanding often brings about a very big problem. That is to say, 'a gentleman can bully others'. He is always accustomed to self-restraint, but the result is that he is politically constrained and eventually completely marginalized."

"I actually thought about joining forces with him to do something, but if you think about it carefully, it would be bad for everyone to engage in politics with such an honest person." Kalya's tone was helpless, "So, I will I can only drink a glass of wine with him every New Year and say hello."

"I have introduced him to many good juniors, but only those with bad tempers and tough tempers can pee in the same pot as him."

"What should I say about this guy Horlock? He is the kind of guy who, even if he drinks with you, just grabs a cup and drinks one cup after another. He can't say a few words after drinking for three days and three nights. "

"But similarly, no matter what you complain or complain to him, he will listen quietly and remember it firmly, but he will never say even a word."

"But, having said that, for people like Horlock, shutting up is actually a good thing. I once had the honor to listen to Horlock's jokes - his bad jokes can be out of date for a thousand years and make you When I hear it, I want to dig my toes into the ground.”

"The only thing scarier than a joke from hell is Horlock's joke!"

"The place where Horok was stationed as a general is now Nasramei. It is said that this is his hometown and the place where he was born. But unfortunately, neither Setaka nor I know which tribe he was born into. All I know is that when he was twelve years old, he walked alone in the desert."

"He doesn't have any hobbies. If I have to talk about it, it's just carving. In order to cast a dagger suitable for him, Setaka and I both spent a lot of effort. We even went to find the legendary God of Forging. But after getting the dagger, he tried it out by carving three little stone figures..."

"The stone figurine was pretty good at carving it, but Setaka was so angry. Even I, who was learning carving from him at the time, was scolded. It was an unreasonable disaster."

"That's right, I learned sculpture from him. Isn't it pretty good?"

"Painting and music? Ah... I also learned it from some of my friends. I will tell you their stories when I have the chance."

"Let's go back to Horlock - sometimes I feel that Horlock and his carved stone statues are actually very similar. They can both be thrown into the long river of time and will sink to the bottom directly. Type, time has changed, but he has remained unchanged."

"But what I didn't expect was that at the end, this guy really gave me a big surprise."

"During the Battle of Icathia, that was the only time Horok failed to obey orders. Aori and Nezuk were building a monolithic fortress, but Horok went underground alone."

"No one knows what happened in the rift of the void, but when Horok came back, he brought Setaka's cross blade - Chalikar."

"Horlock is a person who doesn't like to talk very much, but sometimes he is very cool. At that time, the monolithic fortress was not completed yet, and everyone was busy working on the monolith."

"He suddenly appeared in front of everyone, holding a dagger in one hand and a chalikar in the other. He found me and told me that he had blown out the big eyeball in the ground and killed Seta. Ka’s relics were brought back.”

"At that time, his appearance was very similar to that of Sefiqa around you, but the degree was much more serious. Even if A Zhi tried to use elementalization to relieve his injuries immediately, his body would still keep collapsing."

"That was the most he talked in the thousands of years I've known him. Unfortunately, he seemed to have some problems with his memory and his voice was broken. Apart from his request that I bury him in the barren hills and mountains, he was still very coherent. , I couldn’t understand the rest of the content at all.”

"So, people should talk more. Don't keep everything in your heart. If you don't say anything for a long time, even when you finally say your will, it will be garbled and confused... What a pity."

"Holock is just like, before I could figure out everything he said, his body couldn't hold on at all."

"The body of the ascended person is recast during the ascension ceremony. Whether it is a gold body or an obsidian body, it is an inorganic body. After being eroded by the void, the inorganic ascended body will turn into flesh and blood. And it keeps twisting and growing, this is the origin of the dark descendants."

"Horok was lucky. He faced the god of the void. Judging from his condition at the time, the result would not be to become a Darkin, but to leave cleanly without leaving any trace behind."

"So, according to his request, I buried him in the Barren Hill Mountains together with his dagger, gauntlet, and shoulder armor in the form of a cenotaph."

"I really wanted to erect a monument for him, but after cutting a piece of the cliff, when I started writing, I found that I didn't know what to write."

"If he records his life's battles honestly, the style will be a little inconsistent with his own temperament. What if the person who sees the inscription mistakenly thinks that he is Long Aotian, who is the same as the protagonist?"

"Since he gave everything to me, I can't live up to his lifelong personality, right?"

"So I simply didn't leave any inscription for him - for a person who has been silent all his life, is it quite satisfactory to leave a wordless inscription?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't visited him since then. I don't know if this guy faked his corpse or really turned into a stone..."

"Back in the tribe, I was always the one in charge of funerals."

"Horok was the first person I met in the tribe, and he was also the last person I sent away. Now that I think about it, the last funeral I hosted was a bit rushed."

"Let's go and see how the condition of Horok's mausoleum is." Kalya sighed, "What a pity. I originally thought about letting him bury me, but this kind of old-fashioned guy will definitely carry it out meticulously. All my wills.”

"I've thought about it. There must be a lot of outdated jokes in the will, and I'll ask Horlock to read it!"

"After he finishes reading it, everyone who attended my funeral will never forget this extremely embarrassing day!"

"This way, they won't forget me!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that Horlock is so stubborn that he walked ahead of me..."

"It's... such a pity!"

On the back of the swaying Scarash, Lux holding the sword and Ino leaning next to her were silent.

Only Kalya was still talking about the past stories without any logic, and even talked about the bad jokes Horlock had told.

However, facing these embarrassing old jokes, Lux and Ino didn't feel numb.

The two little girls clasped their hands and felt a little sore in their noses.

Karya’s Little Class·Funeral Expert Karya:

In Shurima, Kalya also has a title that few people know: funeral expert.

This directly leads to the fact that in Shurima, the image of the God of Death is actually highly overlapped with the image of Kalya's Ascended One - in this world, Nasus is not the Desert God of Death, Kalya is.
