Chapter 108 107. The Incomplete Buried in History

When you know that a story is bound to end in tragedy, you will inevitably feel a little sad.

Reading Nettie Meier's diary, Lu Yu and his party seemed to follow her back to the wild Silent Mountains hundreds of years ago.

Although Nettie, the protagonist of the story, wrote "There is no place for us in this world", she was still optimistic in her diary and in her daily life.

On the 62nd day in the Silent Mountains, Rebecca looked at her broken right hand and broke down. It was Nettie who hugged her, comforted her, and gradually calmed her down.

It was Nettie who kept accompanying Rebecca during her low days and encouraged her to help everyone do what she could.

In the end, Rebecca, who was not regarded as a useless person by the elves, gradually walked out of the haze.

Nettie would also try to liven up the atmosphere in a difficult environment.

For example, on the 100th day after arriving at the Silent Mountains, Nettie actually notified the elves who were exiled here together, prepared some food as small gifts for games, and celebrated in a cave that served as a shelter.

"Congratulations on our survival of 100 days. Our goal is to live another 1,000 days!"

This spirit of finding joy in adversity made Lu Yu marvel.

Perhaps it was because Nettie's charisma was so strong that the celebration was very successful and received praise from all the elves.

Although the diary did not record what games they played, there were more than a dozen unfamiliar handwritings on that page.

These were the signatures of the winners collected by Nettie.

It would be great if such a good time could continue.

However, they were just a group of children who didn't even know much magic, and they were elves who were discriminated against and exiled because of their physical defects.

From time to time, Lu Yu could see the information about the death of his companions in Nettie's diary.

As time went by, more and more people died, and the joy of harvesting supplies in the diary became less and less.

Even though Nettie always thinks of ways to encourage people around her, this kind of encouragement seems to have drug resistance and can only last for a short period of time.

Numbness, helplessness, and despair prevail in the race against time.

However, Lu Yu also discovered that although most of the elves in Nettie's cave have some skills, their survival has a lot to do with Vanessa.

There are not many elves who can use magic in Nettie's diary, and the strongest one is the girl named Vanessa.

Vanessa, who was born aphasic and later blind, has long played the role of a protector.

Relying on her sense of smell to find herbs and relying on hearing to lock prey, every time Vanessa goes out, she can bring the supplies that the elves urgently need.

With her strength, she can completely stick to her life, but she chose to distribute the supplies she found to the elves in every nearby cave.

Because of her good relationship with Nettie, Vanessa often brings Nettie more things.

On days when she doesn't need to go out, Nettie once held Vanessa's hand and climbed to the top of a mountain not far away to describe the surrounding scenery for her.

At this time, Vanessa would open her empty eyes and try to weave a colorful picture with past memories in the direction pointed by Nettie.

"Don't you want to leave here?"

Nettie asked Vanessa this question on the 237th day of coming to the Silent Mountains.

In her diary, she always felt that Vanessa was capable of escaping from this hell and heading for a wider world.

But Vanessa gestured with her fingers on Nettie's palm and wrote down two questions.

"What can I do if I leave here when I can't see or speak?"

"What will you do if you leave me?"

In fact, Vanessa didn't say one thing, but Nettie knew it well, because she and Vanessa had the same expectations.

"They haven't forgotten me yet."

Aesop once told Lu Yu that the reason why most of the exiled elves did not choose to escape was because their respective families gave them an illusory promise.

As long as you can stand firm in the Silent Mountains with your own strength and reclaim the land, you can prove to outsiders that you are not inferior to anyone despite your disability. Then you will be able to enter the family gate without being discriminated against by anyone.

Children who have lived in strange eyes since childhood are too eager to be respected and needed.

What Lu Yu thinks is a blank check is an opportunity worth fighting for in the eyes of these elves.

Therefore, they still don't give up even if the reclaimed land is destroyed.

Even when their companions die one by one, they are unwilling to give up.

This group of abandoned elves are like people who are about to fall into the abyss, clinging to this life-saving straw that may break at any time and unwilling to let go.

Nettie wrote in her diary.

"I really want to encourage her, praise her, let her know that even though she is blind and can't speak, she still shows a strong magical talent, and there is always a place for her in this world... Vanessa is different from us, she shouldn't be trapped here to death."

"But I can't say it."

"Without her, I and those elves struggling on the brink of life and death will die... I am a selfish person, as her friend, I didn't do what a friend should do... I'm sorry, Vanessa."

Vanessa continued to protect the elves around her, and in order to get all the necessary supplies, she had to take all kinds of adventures.

Going to the center of the mountains where high-level monsters often haunt, and facing hordes of monsters alone, were all things she had done before.

It was also because of this that Vanessa returned to Nettie several times with her body nearly dying of serious injuries.

Most of the exiled elves complained about their bad luck before, and they had a disabled body. When they came to this world, they encountered desperate things.

Or after the collapse, they cursed the gods for being unfair and believed that everything was the gods' malice.

But after seeing Vanessa constantly fighting for them, some of the elves collapsed.

"Why can those people outside the mountains sit back and watch us being torn apart by wild beasts?"

"Why can my parents be so cruel and abandon me here?"

While Vanessa was in coma, these elves attacked passing traders outside the Silent Mountains and plundered their goods.

This incident shocked several nearby knights. They arranged baits and ambushes. After the disabled elves successfully committed the crime twice, they wiped out these "mobs".

They did not kill these elves, but instead escorted them back to the royal capital. After a roll call in the capital, people from the corresponding families took them back.

Nettie knew this because a group of guards came into the Silent Mountains after that and informed them of the fate of those who were brought back to the family.

At the same time, it also brought "support" from various families for reclamation - small amounts of supplies that would be delivered at regular intervals.

This action that seemed completely perfunctory to outsiders was an affirmation in their eyes. They worked harder and harder to reclaim the land near the cave. At the same time, disabled elves were still being exiled to the Silent Mountains.

Despite their lack of strength, in the long life-and-death struggle with the monsters, the elves still figured out how to deal with them, and gradually gained a foothold by making various traps and tools.

In addition to the fact that supplies are still tight and it is still extremely difficult to deal with the high-level monsters that appear from time to time, the elves have become easier to cultivate the land than when they first arrived in the Silent Mountains.

In the diary, Nettie happily described this time as "the reward of hard work". Up to this time, she was still looking forward to returning to her hometown and proving herself to her parents in person.

If she wasn't injured.

"Day 576 of the Silent Mountains."

"My left hand was cut by a strange monster. It was severely swollen. There was light mucus flowing from the wound. The pain was obvious."

"My companions were all thankful that I had saved my life, but my head suddenly felt dizzy and my hand holding the pen became very heavy."

"Day 578 of the Silent Mountains."

"I have a fever, I have no intuition in my left hand, and my whole body is very hot. I can only dictate the diary and let people write it down. Fortunately, Vanessa found an herb for me that can suppress toxins. After taking it, my body feels much cooler."

"The monsters in the mountains have been very active recently, and we are facing a lot of trouble when we go out to find food. I heard that many of our companions in nearby caves have been injured because of this. However, we must start stocking up on food for the winter from now on, otherwise we may not be able to survive the coming crisis. Winter."

"Five Hundred and Eighty Days in the Silent Mountains."

"Vanessa decided to go out and try her luck. Vanessa never lets anyone follow her, because no one can cooperate with her, and people following her will only distract her."

"Before she left, she wrote the words "get well soon" in my diary... Although this is not the first time I have seen it, I still want to say that she can't see it, but the words are more beautiful than mine. Sure enough, Vanessa is the best. ”

"Five Hundred and Ninety Days in the Silent Mountains."

"Vanessa hasn't been back for ten days. She rarely goes out for such a long time. With her strength, she should be able to run away even if she can't defeat him...God, bless Vanessa."

"Six Hundred Days in the Silent Mountains."

"The toxins in my body have been completely eliminated, and I can make a fist with my left hand. I want Vanessa to see how I look after recovery... but Vanessa has been out for twenty days."

Twenty days, thirty days, then a quarter.

Nettie, who writes Vanessa's name in her diary every day, never sees the girl who brings her small gifts again.

The girl who stepped on the bleak wind of late autumn and walked into the depths of the Silent Mountains disappeared.

The girl who would continue to squeeze herself so that the elves could go home left.

As winter turns to spring, the notes left by Nettie in her diary become messy after struggling through the cold winter.

"I killed her, she could have avoided taking risks..."

The departure of her friend crushed Nettie's strong heart. She wanted to encourage herself as she encouraged others, but found that no matter what, she couldn't get out.

Nettie still writes a diary, but there are no longer words in the diary that make people feel full of vitality.

lifeless.

After Vanessa disappeared, the names in the diary that once seemed familiar to Lu Yu began to disappear one by one.

Rebecca died together with the monster in order to protect the cultivated land.

Aaron died in battle to protect his wounded companions.

There are fewer and fewer people around Vanessa, and more and more companions are buried in the cave.

At the end of the diary, Nettie wrote down all the wishes she still remembered from her companions.

Finally, she left what she wanted to say to the two people.

"Father, I hate you!"

"Vanessa...I'm sorry."
