Eye - Chapter 48
“Child, what’s your name?” Secura’s face lost the previous anxiety, because she no longer needed to be anxious.
“I… don’t have a name.” Didn’t expect the other person to suddenly ask him a question, his name was irrelevant to other people, even to him.
“Are you coming with me?” Secura asked again.
“Yes.” This time, he didn’t have so many worries, and he had already made a decision.
“I want you to make an oath.” Secura put her hand on his chest.
“…Understood.” Different people will always have different means to keep certain things secret forever. He is no stranger to this by collecting information for a living. He has established at least ten A life-and-death promise.
“Nameless street kid, what you see next, what you hear, what you feel, all must not be told to others in any form, or your heart will be broken. Are you willing to set this The oath.” As Secura recited the oath, the hand she placed on his chest glowed dark blue.
“The nameless me, I am willing to make this oath with you. If I violate it, I will die because of a broken heart.” With a heat in his chest, he knew that the oath had been made.
After that, Secura began to search for the body. She seemed to know the correct location of the teacher’s body, and she moved the many bodies away without looking at them.
Finally, she stopped rummaging, picked up one of the naked male corpses, and placed it on a relatively open land.
Maybe she should be thankful that in this darkness, she couldn’t see the teacher’s face clearly. After so many days, the terrifying teacher’s body was decomposed and his face was unclear.
Holding the hand that the teacher had marked with his eyes, Secura closed his eyes, “Let’s go back, teacher.”
“The eye that gave up the name,
disappearing mark;
will now give again,
the name of Iguada;
will now give again,
Ableto’s blessing.
Ableto,
the oath has been fulfilled;
Please lead the spirit of Iguada,
enter the promised land;
Please lead the body of Iguada,
Back to the embrace of the earth. “
After Secura said the last blessing, the surrounding should return to silence, but the street child heard someone whispering. At first, the street child thought that the guard had discovered it, but later he heard that it was not a curse.
The voice slowly changed from the whisper of one person to the voice of ten people, then twenty people, then thirty, forty, fifty… one hundred… thousand!
It was a thousand different prayers from thousands of people, but there was a certain pattern in the clutter. It was prayer and singing.
“…Why?” the street kid asked, covering his ears.
This is the prayer of thousands of people, the singing of thousands of people, and even the ground is shaken because of this, but none of the guards are disturbed by this resounding requiem.
Yes, the moment the song started, the ground beneath the street boy’s feet seemed to vibrate in response to the song.
A tree root as thick as an adult’s arm suddenly rose from the ground, and the prayer became louder.
Then a root thicker than the first one rose, the third…the fourth…the fifth…the nameless street boy, the eye who gave up the name, and the Yi who got the name again. Guarda surrounded.
“…Why?” the street kid asked again, puzzled.
Such a strange sight, he should be afraid, he should want to escape.
But his feet didn’t move, not because he was frightened by the scenery in front of him, but he felt at ease from the bottom of his heart, and felt that there was no need to escape from here.
When the roots of the tree dissipated, the street boy found that the smell of corpses had completely disappeared, and the surrounding corpses had also disappeared.
He was already in a different place. It seemed to be a basement. The center of the room was covered with tree roots, and the walls of the room were actually glowing.
“Welcome to Tierra.” Secura took off her turban and said to him in a normal tone with a faint smile on her face.
