"Helen! Stop it! Helen Helen... " After walking on the strange wasteland for a long time, Lothar stopped panting. With his hands on his knees, he realized that people who walk on their feet can''t compete with those who float in the sky. The count took a few deep breaths, which was to clean up the disordered breathing. Although the worry about Helen was still turbulent, Helen did not encounter any danger during the whole journey. It seemed that there were only permanent waste soil and wood branches growing from the ground.
Tired count simply sat down, he could clearly notice the changes of his body in the past few years, especially in the years after his wife''s death. For a period of time, the depression made Lothar neglect physical exercise. Although his combat experience is far better than his former self, his physical recovery ability is no longer growing. He clenched his fist a little hard, and he laughed at himself. The count of Heishan was able to replenish sufficient nutrition and receive systematic and strict training since he was a child. Under such circumstances, he has been stronger than most people and even most soldiers of this era. "So what else can you not reconcile to? Do you think you can train yourself into something inhuman? "
Shaking one''s head and leaving the words inadvertently said out of the mind, the urgent task now is not to self pity and self pity on one''s own body, but to find a way out of this strange land. Thinking of this, Lothar raised his head again, his head is a piece of nothingness, that is even the dark does not exist inexplicable place. He shrugged his nose and turned his eyes in the direction he came. The repetition of the scene and the unchanging flat ground completely deprived him of the possibility of returning by the same route. However, he has no regrets. Even if she''s trapped in this, Helen can''t do anything.
So, isn''t it too long that the boy hasn''t heard from him? According to previous experience, Helen would find her father soon after she found her father was not following her. But this time, why did she not have a shadow? Just calm down the heart again fierce, Lothar urged his body has not recovered from the ground, trying to find anything related to her daughter.
He called Helen''s name a few times, and of course he didn''t get a response. Although this is a normal situation, it is not surprising that the sound is blocked by invisible walls in this land, but as a father, Lothar''s sense of uneasiness increases with each cry. He walked in the direction of Helen''s disappearance, and then gradually turned into a running, until he ran into the protruding branch in front of him and fell backward. "Helen..."
"Daddy, do you call me?" Her daughter''s face rushed into Lothar''s view from above, covering the nothingness on her head. "Sister Peggy just asked me to eat! Our lunch today is moss mushroom soup with winter wheat bread, ah, and fresh fish, I like to eat fish, and the fish here is not the same as before, there is no sea flavor! Helen doesn''t like fish with lots of thorns, but Helen doesn''t like fish with too much sea flavor... "
"Ha, ha, ha Cough Looking at the innocent bewilderment on Helen''s face, Rosa naturally gave out a laugh, but because of excessive exercise, his dry throat immediately tightened, which turned the laughter into a violent cough. The girl, who had just been immersed in the trouble of river fish and sea fish, was immediately nervous when she saw her father''s appearance. She whirled around Lothar''s body and stretched out her hand to try to touch her father. However, after several attempts to pass through Lothar, she felt a great setback and even tears welled up in her eyes.
"It''s OK, Helen. I''m fine." Rosa, who sits up from the ground with a cough, comforts her daughter. He was glad that Helen''s non response was only for this reason. Through his daughter''s words, the count realized that it was already noon outside, that is to say, he had not been trapped in this space for long. After he realized that his hunger and thirst had been alleviated, it was as if his hunger was an illusion.
So it is. Through this incident, Lothar realized some principles of this strange world. It seems that psychological effects in this land will affect the physiological reality on some levels. As a soldier who strictly controls his own condition, he will not really regard his physical condition as an illusion. By analogy, if Helen did not bring information out of this space, the Earl at this time would have been engulfed by the preset hunger, thirst and fatigue due to the loss of sense of time, and even it was not impossible to starve to death.
"Are you really all right? You don''t look very well. Haven''t you eaten? Helen, go to the kitchen for you to eat
"I can''t eat what you take from the kitchen, remember? We''re in two places. " Lothar stopped her rash daughter and reminded Helen of the situation in a gentle tone.
"Then What about that? " Helen was about to cry. She didn''t know how to help her father. The witches'' magic gave her a way to see Lothar, but she could only see it.
"It doesn''t matter. You''re here to help dad the most." Said the count with a smile, and rose again. "Come on, let''s see if there is anything else here."
Loza''s words and deeds gave Helen confidence. The girl was no longer depressed, nor was she wandering around with her own temperament. She accompanied her father and walked on the deserted land. It was a delicate feeling, because even in ordinary times, the count seldom had such a time with his daughter. Because in fact, Lothar was a little afraid of Helen. She was too much like her. Even though the actual appearance and age were different, in the eyes of the count, she could always see the shadow of her dead wife in her daughter. In fact, it is not like a long walk with her father, so it''s not like a long walk with Helen.Along the way, they talked about a lot of things, such as the season of Xigu City, the diet of the rat people, the taste of the witch''s clothes. Lothar also told his daughter about the grassland he saw and the herdsmen who lived on the grassland and were hated by the lion people. Of course, his narration was not hostile this time. Helen always gives pleasant answers to her father''s questions. In the child''s eyes, the world seems to have a different and more interesting appearance. The rat man is hairy, the dark underground city is a paradise for adventure. In ordinary people''s eyes, the terrible and unpredictable witches actually have their own habits. At least Helen knew how much time Peggy spent on that long hair every day.
In these conversations, the space seems to be less terrifying. After they walked on for some time, the scenery finally changed. In front of them, a river appeared. Lothar approached curiously and didn''t smell any strange smell. The color of the river was also very clear, but he couldn''t see the bottom of the river. The count hesitated for a moment, but still could not resist the thirst in his throat. He carefully held some of the river water in his hand, and frowned slightly after feeling the cold of the river. The cold reminded him of the groundwater from a deep well. Although there were still many worries, the count tried to take a small sip of the liquid in his hand. It''s the taste of water. He and Helen waited for a few more minutes and drank some more after making sure that there was nothing wrong with the water.
"Helen, if you fly up a little, can you see both ends of the river?" The girl nodded, floated upward to about three meters, and then looked around.
"I can''t see. There seems to be something in the direction of the water flowing without crossing the river. Helen didn''t see it. It just felt like it The more Helen said, the less confident she was. She did not understand what intuition was and whether intuition could be used as a basis for judging reality.
But his daughter''s words gave Lothar a target, who was more inclined to move upstream or downstream of the river than to wander aimlessly. And since Helen''s intuition was pointing up the river, he was happy to leave out the choice. Having settled his attention, the count regained his confidence. Now that he has a reliable water supply and his daughter at his side, there''s no reason why he can''t get out of here, can he?
