Endless vast other world

Chapter 6

Sora went to the inner city to find Ellie.

Ellie was very excited when she heard the news, and came to the hotel with Sora.

Wait anxiously for a moment.Women really come.

After entering the house, she took off her black robe.

Under the black robe was a light knight outfit.The gold-carved lace decorations all reveal the unique grace of the royal family.

She is a slim beauty.

"My name is Fu Nuo. A knight of the Royal Knights." She introduced herself.

"I'm Kenney's friend."

"Where's Kenny?" Sora asked impatiently.

"In the capital."

"Why? Why did she go to the capital?"

Fu Nuo said everything.

According to ancient legends. More than 1000 years ago.The brave Siegel gathered various forces of justice to challenge the Demon King for the first time on the Nexivi Continent.

The vigorous first Demon King War, known as the Ancadinos War in history, ended in the victory of human beings.

The invincible devil finally tasted the taste of failure.

After defeating the Demon King, Siegel established the human kingdom.He himself was elected as the first king by everyone.

Those magicians, knights, priests, swordsmen, etc. who are not afraid of sacrifice in the war, won the title of "royal".

More than 1000 years have passed.Today, "royal" is not only a title, but a position.

Only those with high abilities and great achievements can be rewarded by the king, win the title, and become the royal guard with justification.

Royal magicians, royal knights, royal priests... These royal guards can not only get high rewards, but also live a prosperous life.

more importantly.It is a supreme honor.

From the establishment of the kingdom to the present.Countless brave men have worked hard to add the word "Royal" before their titles.

Become a royal guard.This is almost the lifelong pursuit of all brave men.

For more than 1000 years, the conflict between humans and demons has not subsided at all.

The demon king is still eyeing the human kingdom covetously.

Only three years after the current King Busson ascended the throne, the Demon King invaded again.The Second Demon King War broke out.Known as the Wilfried War.

It's been too long.Humans simply can't find a decent brave man to go to war.The contemporary royal guards have long lost the persistent soul of the older generation.

In the early days of the war, the kingdom retreated steadily and suffered greatly.

After the Wilfried War.The kingdom learned its lesson.In order to build a barrier to resist the threat of possible invasion again. The "Herhenburg Agreement" took advantage of the trend.

In the kingdom, gifted and talented people can receive training in Helenburg.They will be raised as royal guards.

Corresponding.After becoming the royal guards, they need to spend the rest of their lives serving the royal family.

This is the Harleenburg agreement.

The so-called Helenburg is a huge castle built by the kingdom with a huge investment.It was equipped with first-class training equipment, training venues, and countless servants for all the royal guards.The royal guards trained and lived there.

And Ke Ni was one of the chosen ones.

She has shown amazing talent since she was a child.In her eyes, each mysterious magic spell is like a crystal ball, which can be played and appreciated.

People thought that Kenney would become the royal magician in the future.Maybe, in the future, it will be the mainstay against the Demon King.

However.Not long after the Kerni girl grew up and became a royal magician.A shocking news spreads in Hellenborg.

Kerney escaped.

The king was also shocked.He had heard of this genius girl all along.He quickly ordered to find Ke Ni and bring her back.

Many royal magicians, royal priests, and royal knights participated in the search.But nothing.

As Ke Ni's friend, Fu Nuo naturally couldn't avoid being interrogated.

Fu Nuo really didn't know where Ke Ni had gone.Moreover, even if she knew, Fu Nuo didn't want to say it.

As a last resort, the king had no choice but to announce that the search had come to an end.

I thought that Ke Ni would never show up again.

but.Not long ago, things took a turn for the better.

The king suddenly met Fu Nuo in person and sent her to Boqi City to find Ke Ni.

Fu Nuo came to Boqi City.Sure enough, she found Kernie.

Under her persuasion, Kerni returned to Hillenborough.

King Busson was a generous man.He appreciated Ke Ni very much, and instead of punishing her, he reinstated her as the royal magician.

now.Kerney is living a life of luxury in Hellingborough.

After listening to Ellie, she couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

"Oh my god... I never thought that sister Ke Ni would have such a glorious past... She is actually a royal magician..."

Sora wasn't surprised.He had already seen Ke Ni's profound skills from her powerful magic.Moreover, Kenny didn't want to be noticed by the people in the court.Sora also guessed eighty-nine points.

"She told me to tell you not to come to her again," Fu Nuo said.

"You should also understand. After all, you will never meet again. She is a noble royal magician..."

"And you..."

Fu Nuo glanced at Sorama.

it is more than words.

"I see. Thank you."

Sora is really calm.

"Is that why you plan to give up?"

Fu Nuo was slightly surprised.

After all, Sora was so persistent before.He didn't even hesitate to fight against himself in the dark alley, but he still wanted to know Ke Ni's whereabouts.

"It's Kenny's wish. I respect her." Sora said.

Hearing this, Fu Nuo felt complacent.

This gives up.It seems that your feelings for Ke Ni are nothing more than that.

It's me.Over the years, I never gave up.I have been searching hard for Ke Ni.

I'm Kerney's soul mate.

Fu Nuo put on the black robe, turned and left.

but.When she walked to the door, she couldn't help turning her head back.

She saw Sora's dazed eyes.

She didn't stop.Pick up the pace and go out.

to the street.crossroads.

The crowd was bustling and bustling.

She stands at a crossroads.Looking at the flow of people, I suddenly felt overwhelmed.

She closed her eyes gently.It seems to be back to the past again.

At that time, Fu Nuo had just entered Helenburg.It was her lifelong dream to become an excellent royal knight.

However.At that time, she was under the doubts and criticisms of everyone.The training barely made any progress.Mediocre qualifications cannot even be concealed by crazy efforts.

She could not help but fall into the whirlpool of self-doubt and self-denial.

And Kerney at that time.With his extraordinary talent, he has been praised by countless royal magicians.Needless to say, she has a bright future.

Fu Nuo can often hear the name "Kenni".Hearing people's praises and expectations for her.

She was only envious.

one late night.It was especially quiet in Hellenborg.Occasionally, in the distance, one or two hoots of owls can be heard.

People finished their day's work and training and fell into a deep sleep.

Just one place, without stopping, there were waves of sword swinging sounds.It is very different from this quiet night.

Fu Nuo is still training.

The sound of the sharp sword tearing through the air, accompanied by her exhausted panting, embellished this destined extraordinary night.

She suddenly felt someone behind her.Turn around and look.

It turned out to be the legendary genius girl.

"are not you tired?"

Not as arrogant as Fu Nuo imagined.Genius seems very friendly.

Fu Nuo was at a loss.This is the first time she and Kenny have met.

"tired."

"Then rest."

"No. I have to hurry up and train."

"Don't do that." Genius smiled.

"Look, what is this." Kernie took out a bottle.

Fu Nuo took a look.It turned out to be Royal Wine.

"How did you get it?"

"Gee. If you know magic, you can get it too..."

"Let's go have a drink." Kenny shook the bottle.

Fu Nuo was taken aback.

In Fu Nuo's mind.Kenny should be a good kid who is diligent and devoted to research all day long.

Now.Is this sloppy, troubled girl in front of me really her?

Seeing that Fu Nuo didn't speak, Ke Ni thought she agreed.Without any explanation, he pulled Fu Nuo and left.

Fu Nuo was dragged and ran towards a towering bell tower.

The entrance to the bell tower is locked.Kenney was familiar with the road, cast a little magic, and snapped her fingers.

"Gada".The lock snapped open.

Fu Nuo couldn't laugh or cry.It seems that she does this kind of thing a lot.

Kerni pulled her all the way to the highest point.

Fu Nuo has never been to such a high place.She was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Seeing her surprised look, Kenny was a little proud.

"Do you come here often?" Fu Nuo asked.

"Come almost every day."

"every day?"

Fu Nuo was too surprised.Is this the good girl in her heart?

In fact, Fu Nuo didn't know.The supreme idol in her heart, that "genius", is herself in her dreams.

People with dreams always have good expectations for the future.Therefore, they will unconsciously deify a certain character.The deified person, who carries people's good wishes, seems to be omnipotent.Through this deified person, those who have dreams will work harder to live.

The deified person is just a bubble in the clear sky.Under the sunlight, some colors can be temporarily trapped, making people forget the paleness and monotony of life itself.

But bubbles are bubbles after all.Can't stand even a slight poke.

Kernie handed the bottle to Fu Nuo.

Fu Nuo subconsciously refused.

"Have a drink, it's okay." Ke Ni drank first.

"Are you tired every day?" Kernie asked.

"I see you, you will always be the one who trains the hardest."

"I have to work harder."

Fu Nuo looked into the distance, thinking about her own thoughts.

"I know how you feel," Kerney said.

"How come. You are a genius."

"I'm not a genius."

Kerney sighed.

long silence.

"Have you ever thought about leaving this place one day?" Kenny said suddenly.

"How is it possible?" Fu Nuo was surprised.

"Have you forgotten the Harleenburg Agreement? The royal family provided us with training guidance and a superior life. After we finish our studies, we will become royal guards and guard the royal family for the rest of our lives. Besides, where can you go?"

"Go to a...beautiful place."

"where?"

"I didn't think so. But..."

Kenny's eyes suddenly brightened.As bright as the stars in the sky at the moment.

"I searched...to find a place...a place where I can be myself..."

"I don't want to be 'Genius' anymore. I want to be 'Kurney' again..."

Her voice trembled.

Fu Nuo looked at her.

Fu Nuo suddenly understood: This genius who is usually full of stars is actually the same as himself.Deep in my heart, there is unspeakable pain.

"Give me the wine." Fu Nuo said.

Fu Nuo took the bottle and drank it down.

She looked at the surprised Ke Ni, and suddenly smiled.

Kerney laughed too.

at night.upstairs.Two girls laughing inexplicably.

The huge clock on the top of the building was ticking.Add another layer of haze to the night.

In the following days, the two supported each other and forged a profound friendship.

Time flies by.When Kerney grew up, she successfully became a royal magician.

royal.What a tempting title.Like brightly colored forbidden fruit.It reveals a seductive color, but it also reveals dangerous signals everywhere.

No matter what, as long as it can be associated with the "royal", it seems to have endless glory.

pity.Actually.A poor horse covered with medals is nothing but a poor horse after all.A real horse needs no decoration at all.Galloping speed is the highest honor.

Fu Nuo knew in her heart that Ke Ni was not happy.

Kerney doesn't like the imposed aura.I sincerely hate the so-called title.

She yearns for freedom.From the bottom of my heart, it reflects an indelible longing.

Gradually, the desire can hardly be hidden.

Every night in the dead of night.Kenny will pull on Fu Nuo.As before, climb up the clock tower that no one knows about.

In the interlacing of wine and night.Kenny told her thoughts to the only person who understood her.

Furno's worries grew by the day.

She felt a dangerous breath from Ke Ni's words.

She often persuaded Kenny not to think too much.Advise her to be content with the status quo.

Kerney was noncommittal.Whenever Fu Nuo persuaded her, she just stared at the vast starry sky in a daze.

To temporarily forget the pain.In her spare time, Kerney throws herself into paper and pen.She wrote a book about magic called The Mystery of Magic.However, because no one cared about it, the book was soon lost to the world.

Fu Nuo remembered.For a while, something went wrong with Kerney.She started seeing no one.He even avoided Fu Nuo intentionally or unintentionally.

Fu Nuo became more and more worried.

It's about to happen.Fu Nuo knew.But she was powerless to stop it.

Kerney escaped a few days later.

Fu Nuo was not surprised.She had already foreseen this coming.

She guessed that Kerney had already planned something.After escaping, she successfully escaped the search of many royal guards by virtue of her superb magic.

But.How can you be willing to abandon me.

Fu Nuo is angry with Ke Ni.

Time flies.In the past few years, Fu Nuo has grown from an untalented girl to an outstanding royal knight.

She has a pivotal position in the Royal Knights and has become the object of envy of everyone.

But she couldn't be happy.

Ever since Kerney left.In these years, she never made a friend again.

The people around him are nothing but birds and beasts who are following the trend.What they fell in love with was Fu Nuo's status and Fu Nuo's beauty.

She has never met anyone who can resonate with her heart like Ke Ni.

She felt an indescribable sadness.

perhaps.Is this kind of sadness what Ke Ni experienced back then?
The search never gave up.Not only the royal family, but also Fu Nuo as a friend.

Over the past few years, she has never stopped looking for Ke Ni.

Fu Nuo guessed that Ke Ni must be living in seclusion in a secluded and secluded place.

Over the years, she kept searching, searching.

In order to find her friends, she even went deep into many forbidden places.Unfortunately, nothing.

until that day.She received orders from the king.

Fu Nuo understood the king.This matter concerns the face of the royal family.It's okay for the royal magician to leave without authorization in disregard of the Harleenburg agreement.

Besides.Kerney was, after all, a magical genius.The king naturally hopes that there will be more talents in the kingdom.

Fu Nuo was just surprised: for so many years, there has been no news of it, and it is well hidden.Why did Ke Ni come out suddenly?
With doubts.In Boqi City, Fu Nuo found Ke Ni.

It was beyond Fu Nuo's expectation.After several years of seclusion, Ke Ni's eyes became clearer.

What she didn't expect was even more.Ke Ni, who has always been a loner, unexpectedly followed a young man by her side.

This is a bit intriguing.

Fu Nuo couldn't help but think wildly, and his face turned red when he thought about it.

She is a little jealous.I always thought that during the days of seclusion, Ke Ni should be the same as myself, without other friends.Unexpectedly, the only one who was alone was himself.

Ke Ni actually secretly hides the beauty in the golden house?

She has a feeling of being teased.

Too late to think about it.She met with Ke Ni and persuaded Ke Ni to go back.

Kerney returned to her old life.The basic necessities of life are taken care of by the servants in Hellenburg.She turned back into the royal magician who commanded the left and right.

Ordinarily.This kind of life is much more noble than that in Yinqi Forest.

but.Since coming back, Kenny has been silent every day.

A few days ago, Ke Ni found Fu Nuo.She can't leave Helenburg now, and hopes that Fu Nuo can go out to see Sora and his party.

Fu Nuo couldn't refuse.This was one of the few requests Kernie made.

However, this aroused her curiosity about Kongzhen: what kind of person is he?Why did Kenny miss him so much?
She followed Kong Zhen for several days.Take note of his residence.See how he is with the cat girl, searching in vain.

Fu Nuo returned to Helenburg and told Kerni everything.

Ke Ni, who has always been steady, is actually in a hurry.

She asked Fu Nuo to tell Kong Zhen not to look for her again.

She asked Fu Nuo to tell Sora.Say you don't want to see him again.

She asked Fu Nuo to tell Sora.Now the status of the two is different, and the road is different.There's no need to waste time on her.

Of course Fu Nuo agreed.This is a matter of course.

She's even happy.

Kerni is a noble royal wizard.What is that emptiness really?How dare you climb up to Kenny.

She is really jealous that Sora has monopolized Kenney for so long.

but.What Fu Nuo couldn't understand was.When Kerney said these words, she seemed to see them with certainty.

There was pain in Kenny's eyes.

It was exactly the same as what Sora had seen just now.

Mention this emptiness.She couldn't help but think of that day.

That was the last day she secretly observed Kongzhen.

The sun is like a fire.The air is filled with tormenting gold.The horizon is scorched and crooked.

No one wants to go out.The bustling Boqi City in the past has become empty.Those who had to go out on the street were also covered in anxiety.

There is only one person, who is still looking for it under the bright sun.

under the hot sun.He inevitably staggered, and it seemed that he was about to fall in the next step.

Heavy duty, exhaustion, high temperature.He's gone.

but.his eyes.

An indescribable hope was revealed.

The hope in his eyes is so within reach.

His body was no longer driven by strength, nor even maintained by willpower.

It was a kind of hope that was tempting him.

He seemed to be deluded by a kind of hallucination.It was like seeing a mirage in the desert.

So close, yet so far away.Forever out of reach.

A long time passed.Under the torment of the scorching sun and high temperature, Fu Nuo, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't stand it anymore.she left.

Before leaving, she saw Kongzhen struggling under the scorching sun.

The light of hope in his eyes did not go out at all.

The deeper the darkness, the more passionate the light.

that day.This silly boy with an embarrassed appearance left a deep impression on Fu Nuo.

When seeing Sora for the first time, Fu Nuo concluded that he was just a timid child.It is estimated that when encountering an enemy, they only know to hide behind Ke Ni.

But from that day on.Her view of Sora is very different.

She wished to know more about Sora.

The flow of people at the intersection continued.

Watching the endless stream of people.Fu Nuo suddenly reacted.

Only then did she understand.

I don't want to meet again.not worthy of...

Just a lie.

Just a lie Kerney used to hide her pain.

Kerney wasn't thinking of herself.

Sora has a future ahead of him.Kenney knew that Sorama would definitely find her.

As a nightingale imprisoned in a cage, Ke Ni knew that in this life, she was doomed not to cross paths with Kong Zhen again.

She knew that Sora had a bright future ahead.She didn't want Kong Zhen to waste his life on her and let him down.

So she had to lie.Even if it makes yourself miserable.

For others, you will sacrifice yourself.

This is Kerney.

Kerney hasn't changed at all.Fu Nuo thought.

Kenney...

As for Kongzhen.

Fu Nuo thought so.Give him some money and a few words of persuasion, and this silly boy will change his mind.

She also saw Kong Zhen's persistence.Obsession with Kenny.

But.He finally gave up everything.

For him, giving up is so so heavy.Much heavier than attachment.

But he still chose to give up.

His giving up was not for himself.

It's for Kerney.

Fu Nuo reflected.

Explore your heart.myself.

perhaps.Is my infatuation for Ke Ni fake?
I have been persistently looking for Ke Ni, is it just to satisfy my desire?
Is it just because I can't stand loneliness that I insist on searching?

If he is sincerely for Ke Ni's good.In the past few years, he should have given up his search for Ke Ni long ago.Because a life of seclusion is what Ke Ni really wants.

In other words, my feelings for Ke Ni are actually not as good as this boy?

She noticed it suddenly.

Sora and Keni.These two people are so similar.For the sake of each other, they can completely disregard themselves and bear heavy pain.Forever.

Only then did Fu Nuo understand.For Kenny, what is real happiness.

Fu Nuo also wants Ke Ni to be happy.

She made up her mind.Run in the direction of the hotel.

She needs you.Fu Nuo thought.

Arrived at the hotel.Ellie is helping Souma pack his luggage.

Seeing Funo running back out of breath, Sora and Ellie looked shocked.

"What are you packing your luggage for?" Fu Nuo asked first.

"I'm getting out of here."

"why?"

"As long as I stay here, even for a second, I can't help but think of Ke Ni. I can't help but look for her."

"But this will only cause her trouble. So, I choose to leave."

"Where are you going?" Fu Nuo asked.

"I don't know. Just float like this."

"It's a pity. It can't be as you wish."

"Huh? What?"

"Actually, what I just said was not Ke Ni's sincere words..."

Fu Nuo confided.

"Kennie really wants to see you. She doesn't want to delay you."

"Royal Magician is not just a title. It also means a lot. She doesn't want you to get involved in many things. She doesn't want you to delay your own future for her."

"Now she is the princess trapped on the tower."

After Sora listened, a strange light bloomed in his eyes.Can't tell if it's joy, excitement, or anticipation.

but.He had to face the reality as cold as iron.

"Is there really no way to set her free?" Sora asked.

"No." Fu Nuo said firmly.

"Even if there is. With you, how can you do it?"

Sora was speechless.

"I have to go. I also sneaked out, and I can't let those people in Helenburg find out."

Fu Nuo was about to leave.

"As for you," she said to Sora.

"Although I don't want to. But I will try my best to help you find a way."

It's between these milliseconds.Fu Nuo actually pulled out the dagger.

Sora was so frightened that he immediately activated his battle suit.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Shut up! There are people behind the door!" Fu Nuo said softly.

She clenched the short sword in her hand and stared at the door.

Both Sora and Ellie were taken aback.

"Damn it...is it from Helenburg..." Fu Nuo thought.

Fu Nuo motioned Sorama to get ready.

She walked slowly to the door.

In the blink of an eye.Fu Nuo's sword edge swung across.

The wooden door was split into several pieces in an instant.

Following the momentum of the sword, Fu Nuo's sword was on the neck of the person behind the door.

"Who are you!" Fu Nuo asked sharply.

Take a look.It was Ina.

The poor little girl was completely shocked when she saw such a battle.

"Don't, don't!" Kong Zhen hurriedly stopped.

"She's the innkeeper's daughter, not a villain."

Fu Nuo didn't put down his sword.

"Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Ina was so scared that she cried.

"I, I... I just saw the cat girl coming to find Kongzhen again... I think the two of them must have sneaked around while the sister was away... So, so, they came over and wanted to listen through the door Listen to..."

"I, I just came here. What. I didn't hear anything, please let me go..."

Yi Na fell to the ground in fright.

Kong really can't laugh or cry.

"I told you a long time ago, Ke Ni and I are not lovers... Besides, I have nothing to do with Ellie..."

"I don't think so."

Fu Nuo put away the sword and helped up the crying Yi Na.

"I'm also surprised. You're telling me. Kenny lived a good life in seclusion. Why on earth would she rather risk being hunted down and come out with you?"

"If it wasn't for some shady relationship between you and Ke Ni, I wouldn't believe that she would do this for you..."

Fu Nuo still couldn't stop being jealous of Sora.

"No..." Sora wanted to explain.

"I don't have time to argue with you... After a while, the king has a big business. I have to be busy with patrols recently. I have to go back."

Fu Nuo left.

Ina was still in shock, and ran away in a hurry.

Her habit of eavesdropping is probably about to be cured.I really want to.

"Brother Souma, will we never see sister Keni again?" Ellie asked.

"I'll figure it out."

Sora picked up the scattered pieces of wood.

"You've been quite tired during this time. Go back and rest, Ai Nai still needs someone to take care of you. I will work hard. As long as I have news about Ke Ni, I will definitely let you know."

"Okay. Sorama-san, when you need help, you can come to me at any time."

Ellie blinked and left.

Sora tidied up the door and sat on the bed in a daze.

Asking himself, he didn't know why he was so persistent and insisted on accomplishing this impossible goal.

Is there any hope?

It seems that hope has become a kind of charm.Charm he is constantly moving forward.Even if there is a cliff in front of him, he will move forward without hesitation.

He was swallowed up by hope.

The hope at this time is constantly eating away at him.

He may or may not have realized it.But it doesn't matter.

Because that's what he lives on, too.He lived by hope.

Wishing everyone their own little Eden.It is created by everyone and belongs to everyone.

Sora creates a Garden of Eden for himself.In that Garden of Eden, he was able to survive.That Garden of Eden was tailor-made for him.

He runs, he jumps.Countless ideals and broad feelings are blended in that Garden of Eden.

It is a rare pure land in the world.

However, he himself knew that the Garden of Eden did not exist at all.Even if one day, hope does come true, it will never be as beautiful as in the Garden of Eden.

He dared not indulge in that Garden of Eden.At least not at this time.Because he has a very important thing to do.

He could never forget the pain in Kenny's eyes that night.

Just because of that little pain.
