Chapter 699

    "That''s what protected us, salt? I never knew salt had this function. I thought they could only be used as seasoning Lothar leaned down and carefully dipped some white powder with his finger from the ground and smelled it under his nose. Thanks to his civilian life of more than a month, the taste of sea salt can be easily recognized. But different from the count, fitis, who had dealt with the wounded, also went to the salt powder. Her brow was frowning, as if she was recalling something.


    "I''m afraid it''s not salt, or it''s not just salt, Karen''s friend. Have you ever heard people on the dock tell the legend of giants? Especially about his death and rebirth? " The witch did not touch the salt. She looked up in the pale blue phosphorescence, hoping to see the cliff above her head. But it was so high that fitti could only see the darkness that engulfed everything.


    Lothar has really heard a lot about the legend of thunder giant. Not to mention the appearance of the giant and all kinds of miraculous ability, as well as the deeds of those who claim to be the descendants of thunder giant, the richness of its content can be compiled into a thick classic. Of course, most of this has not been heard by Rosa, but even the limited part he has heard, the content is quite different. The difference lies in the complexity of the story. In some stories, things can be summarized into two simple sentences, that is, what the giant did when he got there, but why he did it, and the consequences and achievements after he did it were not mentioned.


    Such stories are the most widely heard stories in Lothar, but they are not the most well-known. Sailors know the story is not so simple, in their mouth thunder giant is a similar human and God between the existence, he has a human way of thinking, but vision and behavior is like a God. In fact, it''s not just about thunder giant. Most of the protagonists in the myths and legends are like this. This is also the most popular and acceptable type of story.


    But not all stories can be divided into the two or between them. Although the number is small, even less than the first, Lothar was lucky to hear one or two more complex and longer stories. These stories often come from bards in pubs, and some from rare old people in lost heart Bay. In these stories, thunder giant''s behavior becomes unpredictable again, far away from ordinary people, but the reason and purpose of his action are extremely clear, although these purposes may seem unreasonable or even absurd to others.


    In this third kind of story, Lothar especially remembers the legend about the existence and death of thunder giant itself. Everything has a beginning, just as people come from the mother''s breeding, plants come from the seed germination. Even the world itself, in many people''s eyes, there is a reason, though not necessarily certain, that is worth believing at least. So as thunder giant, he should be the same. What is the origin of thunder giant? We can know that thunder giant should be the only individual in the world, which is the same in all legends. The giant is lonely, so his character is gloomy and irritable, because he has no companion to communicate with and does not need to compromise with anyone. Such a giant, some say, is the incarnation of thunder, the son of the sky. But why does the son of the sky never leave the ocean? Therefore, the sea is the product of the sea and the sea.


    But gradually, the sailors no longer agreed with these two views. They did not think that the giant breathing out the storm was the God''s residence of the sky and sea, just as they never thought that they should abide by the laws of any country or believe in a God in charge of the sea. The sea is boundless and disordered, so everything is contained in it. As a symbol of this spirit, thunder giant should not be derived from the sky and the sea, such as the priest''s mouth. They believe that thunder giant was once an individual. And the reason why he became a giant, naturally there are countless ways of saying.


    But in the end, these statements all point to one thing, people, will die. So the giants die, of course, no problem. But a giant is a giant after all. Even if he was once a human being, people don''t want him to float down the river to the sea after death for fish and shrimp to eat and be ravaged by the waves. Therefore, after the death of the giant, his body will not simply disappear.


    "His muscles turned into islands, sheltered sailors from storms, his blood became a stream for ships to dock in, his breath turned into a monsoon, driving sails, his bones..."


    "His bones are scattered and dissolved, which is the source of salt in the ocean." The witch finished the sentence for Lothar. It''s just that she looks at the story from a very different angle from that of the count. In the eyes of fitis and other spellcasters, the so-called legend can never be purely groundless. Because of the occasional nonsense, is not able to spread in the crowd for such a long time.


    To be sure, people like these fictional things, and they make them into long poems and farce performances. But people will never make up things they have never experienced, just as painters cannot paint a color that has never been discovered. Without being recognized, there is no way to describe it. In terms of cognition, people tend to think that people from afar are not as good as those around them, and that people in their early years are not as good as people today. Therefore, they will regard the things handed down from afar and ancient times as nonsense. But is that really the case? From the caster''s point of view, ancient or distant people may be different in appearance and habits from current people, but in essence, they are the same creature. But since it is the same creature, why should we say it because of the different weight of the region and the times? Casters have always attached great importance to legends, because they believe that although the surface of legends will change due to the spread, the core of legends must remain unchanged."Now, we see his bones, we see the salt that his bones have melted, so he exists. And it''s right here. " "Then, since death is believable, rebirth must not be empty words. Garland, you say you''ve been inspired to think that the spire was originally a temple waiting for a moment to come. Do you think that the sirens can''t wait to destroy it, and what you encounter in the spire, because that moment is coming? "
