"Ok?"
"With your eye problem, they probably won't allow you to return immediately. You'll have to stay here for a while."
"Yeah, I know." Hitzfeld was not surprised.
After all, there is the precedent of Jordan, so it is never too cautious.
“What I mean is—” the woman took a breath, “I won’t leave either. I’ll stay here with you.”
"You're the sheriff now."
Hitzfeld looked up at her.
"this is not good."
"But I just want to do something bad!"
Xia Yibing mustered up her courage and said.
"I don't trust you!"
"I have to take you with me!"
"Otherwise I'd rather quit!"
"No one can stop me! I swear!"
Hitzfeld looked up suddenly and met her eyes.
Xia Yibing thought she would scold her, but she suddenly heard a sentence -
"Do you want to finish what you did last time?"
Last time?
Xia Yibing was at a loss.
What she said is...
Could it be...
It must be admitted that language sometimes has a kind of magic that can make the air hot and easily change the atmosphere of a space.
Both of them started breathing rapidly, and they slowly moved closer to each other, with their lips about to touch.
"boom!"
The sound of a wooden door being kicked open.
"Who?"
Xia Yibing quickly jumped away and turned around, and saw Darent leaning against the entrance of the passage, panting with his tongue hanging out.
"I've been looking for you guys for quite some time... and you're just here looking at the scenery?"
Without waiting for Xia Yibing to accuse him, he pointed to the distance.
"Over there... Smail is looking for you. Some undegenerated worms are attacking the team. You have to go and help."
The woman glared at him fiercely and turned back to grin.
"This... Aisuen..."
"You go first." The girl scratched her palm.
"night."
"There's still time."
The scratch made the woman feel itchy from the palm of her hand to the bottom of her heart. She hummed heavily, pushed the wooden man aside and went downstairs.
"Maps."
Just as the wooden man was about to leave, Hitzfeld called him back.
"Did you forget something?"
"What? What did you say?"
Darent looked back, bewildered.
"Jona."
Hitzfeld didn't intend to waste time talking to him and directly exposed his disguise: "You have been avoiding facing her... How are you going to deal with it?"
Darent's expression gradually became dead silent.
Indeed, he had been avoiding something.
He didn't want to discuss any of this, so he avoided being alone with the smartest guy.
But still didn't escape.
She still pointed it out.
"She...I don't think she's Zola."
After a long while, he finally replied to her hoarsely.
"I've talked to her... She's a good girl... But she... Their thoughts are different. She and Roula also have different preferences and understandings on some things... I can't ignore these factors."
"But she is from Zora," Hitzfeld said immediately, "She is her daughter."
She didn't want to make it too clear, because she knew Darent would understand what she meant.
The wooden man's life span was greatly extended due to his woodification, but during the initial period, he missed all the family affection in his life.
And now that fate has brought Jonna back to him, she may not be a substitute for Rola, so he is not without a chance... to make amends.
"I think... forget it."
After opening his mouth for a long time, Darent shook his head.
"My job is no longer suitable... and I've gotten used to it..."
"So that's it."
"So be it."
"She has her own ideas..."
"That's... enough..."
"Maps--" the girl interrupted him again.
"Are you sure you want to—"
"Yes, I'm sure." Darent interrupted her in return, then turned back and winked at her with a bright smile.
"I am a wooden man anyway."
"Regret or not regret, it doesn't make much difference."
Then he sniffed, and without giving Hitzfeld a chance to reply, he instantly scurried back and completely lost himself.
"..."
Hitzfeld stood there with his eyes half closed.
God's Eye allowed his mind to sway reality like ripples on water, and the resulting picture had changed drastically.
It was dusk, in a small house located on the hillside, a figure leaned against the window frame, pulling the bowstring, letting the melody fly in the wind.
Suddenly, another petite figure jumped out from the side.
"father!"
"what happened, Babe?"
“I want to learn this piece of music, too!”
"Oh no."
"why not?"
"Because... this piece of music is too sad. It is in memory of my mother. If you really want to learn it, I can teach you other pieces..."
"I do not--"
"Roula——"
"I don't want to, Dad. I want to learn."
"Well, if you can convince me, maybe..."
"Because Dad always plays this piece by himself, and he looks so lonely!"
"..."
"Roula has to learn it too! This way, Roula can play with Daddy next time! If we commemorate Mom together, Daddy might feel better, right?"
"..."
"Dad? Dad—"
"it is good……"
During the conversation, the tall figure bent down and held the petite figure in his arms.
"Come on, let's grab the bow first~"
"Ooh!"
"Let's start with..."
"Well, let's start with this tune..."

...Thanks to the above readers for their tips and rewards~ Thank you very much for your love and support~
Then you can start summarizing.
I have to admit that I have been in a bad mental state these days. Due to some unspeakable reasons, I have been forced into a meaningless, boring and mentally torturous repetitive work that makes me want to fall asleep immediately - if I could, I really want to smash this plate.
But it’s not possible, at least not now… So even though I have fallen asleep countless times in the past few days with my head resting on the hard back of a chair out of exhaustion, and I am always sleepy when I wake up, and my left eye is always twitching for some reason, I still have to continue this process.
So it has affected the creation to some extent, and this summary, which was supposed to be published two days ago, was delayed until the new unit. I must apologize for this.
As for the substance of the summary…I have to admit that I didn’t quite figure out how to write Worm Grotto at first.
Of course, the big framework and the secrets of the pre-set were already arranged long ago - this can be seen from the information revealed by Ms. Annual Ring. But I really didn't think about how to show them at first.
My original plan was to enter the red soil for inspection - this was only the first stage, and then escape from the red soil and face the insect swarm - this is the second stage. Later I thought this might be the inertial thinking after playing the game for a long time, and after actually inspecting the objective conditions, I found that this was difficult to do.
Moreover, this arrangement seems too formulaic no matter how you look at it. If it has to be this way, the focus of the later description will definitely not be solving puzzles, but fighting.
...Then it won't be the small-scale battles at this stage. I have to write about some big scenes, and I have to consider the offensive and defensive battles on the city walls and the possible street fighting. I have come across this kind of thing before when I wrote about the invasion of the Scourge of Mount Beruksita. My writing skills at that time were definitely not comparable to what they are now, but no matter how refined it was, there were too many things that needed to be described and portrayed in detail... I finally decided that this unit was not to the extent that such a scene would appear, so...I'm not being lazy on purpose, but I have actually investigated and imagined it, so it might be boring to write about it.
I can only say that novels are just novels after all, and they don’t have the same expressive power as light and shadow art. I’d better put it aside until I become more capable.
The purpose of designing this unit, the Worm Grotto, is basically to complete the history. The weirdness of the Mechanical Sun Cult and its initial origins, as well as the partial revelation of the secrets of Hitzfeld's left eye, are the focus of its design. When I first designed it, I was a little bit wrong, because this story is still different from the adventure stories I wrote before (I don't want to write too similar), so I referred to some other works, and the focus of the deconstruction was "King Kong".
King Kong is a classic monster story, and I think the best one is the 05 version. At first, I was just watching all kinds of monsters and poisonous insects, but later I got deeper into it and found its connotation. This is a monster movie that does three things at the same time: rich visual impact, telling a good story on the surface and hiding another story underneath it with a natural transition.
It's rare, really rare... Any work that can achieve the last two points can basically be regarded as a classic. I remember that movies like "Madness Asylum", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Life of Pi" have achieved this. So with the mentality of learning from the classics, I plan to analyze its core and study whether I can dig out some essence to absorb.
I didn’t understand it at the beginning, I was stupid... From beginning to end - it was not until I started writing this paragraph that I remembered to look up the film reviews, but it doesn’t matter now - anyway, at the beginning I thought that the surface story of "King Kong" was "an adventure mixed with monster elements", and the other story underneath was "beasts also have emotions, and can do anything for their emotions."
Well...if that's the case, it does have this connotation, but it's definitely not very deep. But I always feel that it's more than that.
I was troubled by this for a while, until I remembered the movie Life of Pi, and then I realized that the core of these two movies can be connected.
I won't go into details about Life of Pi, but it can be summarized as follows: when Pi was drifting on the sea, his survival instinct turned him into a Bengal tiger, which was the awakening of his animal nature. When he returned to the civilized world, this animal nature was no longer needed. The tiger walking into the jungle at the end of the movie also has this meaning, which directly points out that animal nature and civilization are in conflict.
I immediately thought of King Kong, which is actually the same: on Skull Island, King Kong is a god. He uses barbarism to suppress barbarism, and his hammer makes the Tyrannosaurus Rex and poisonous insects and beasts tremble in fear. At this time, animality is his advantage - when you are in such an environment, you have to be more barbaric and cruel than other things in order to survive.
But when King Kong was brought back to the civilized world, he became visibly weaker. Every time he acted willfully and bestially, he would be sanctioned by the army. My understanding here is that the army here is actually the embodiment of the rules of the civilized world. It is not only aimed at King Kong, but also at everyone living in society. Each of us has to consider the consequences if we want to be willful. It can maintain order and restrain nature. I think this may also be something that this film wants to express.
After understanding this, I basically found what I wanted. So my plan at that time was actually to let Darent be "An" and let Rola or Jonah be "King Kong".
In other words, according to this arrangement, Jonah would basically be killed by Darent himself.
The beast was originally emotionless.
