角色故事•一(解锁条件:角色等级20)
「药王慈怀…听话,咽下去,你的病会好,不仅会和长生种一模一样…还会活得很久,很久……」
他试图吞咽药物,却不敢呼吸。
这样的痛苦,他不知还要经历几回。浓稠的液体流过食管,有如吞针一般。强烈的呕吐欲挤压着他的胸腔。
「咽下去,不能吐,这是药……」他的身体也在这么同他说道:咽下去。咽下去。咽下去。
咽下去。就不用面临野兽的威胁,不再会陷入难以逃离血盆大口的恐惧。
咽下去。手脚不再无力,不再会眼睁睁看着同伴死亡。
咽下去。
药物开始被器官和血肉吞食,陌生的力量在体内横冲直撞,他想大口喘气,从腹部细密蔓延至四肢的咬噬和撕扯感却让他感到窒息。
「忍过去,跟之前一样,只要忍过去……」他已发不出声,只有身体在同他说话。
忍过去。他不再是被村子丢弃、遗落荒野的孤儿。
忍过去。他说的每一句话都将被回应,不再孤苦伶仃。
忍过去。
「貊泽?感觉怎么样…
「很好,你再次撑过来了。
「再坚持下,不要害怕,你的病症将被尽数消除。
「到时候…猎杀野兽,保护同伴,长命百岁…你想做什么都可以。
「而身体痊愈之时…你将获得完整的生命…也将成为我们真正的家人。
「到时,我们应彼此承继意志。」
原来需要熬过这么多的痛,才能唤来家人。
「痛……」
他终于坚持不住,痛苦从牙缝里挤出了声音。但身边人只同他说:
「莳者一心,同登仙道,安度此劫,胜即是生。
「药王慈怀。」
他说的话无人在意,于是他逐渐习惯了不说话。
Character Story: Part I
• Unlocked at Character Level 20
"Merciful of Sanctus Medicus... Now, listen to us. Swallow this — not only will your illness be cured, but you shall become no different to a long-life species... You shall live a long, long life..."
He tries to swallow the medicine, but does not dare inhale.
He has no idea how many more times he would have to endure this suffering. The thick liquid passes through his esophagus like he is swallowing needles. A powerful urge to vomit crushes his entire chest.
"Swallow it. Don't spit it out. This is medicine..."His body is also echoing this sentiment: Swallow it. Swallow it. Swallow it.
Swallow it, and you will never have to face the threat of wild beasts, never again will you fall into the gaping, bloody jaws of fear.
Swallow it, and your body shall no longer be powerless, never again will you have to stand by and watch your companions die.
Swallow it.
As his organs and flesh begin to consume the medicine, a strange power begins to course through him. He yearns to gasp for air, but the sensation of being devoured and torn that spreads from his abdomen down his limbs makes him feel suffocated.
"Endure it. Just like before... If you can just endure it..."He can no longer make a sound. Only his body is conversing with him.
Endure it. He will then no longer be the orphan abandoned by his village in the wilderness.
Endure it. Then, every word he speaks will be answered, and he will no longer be alone.
Endure it.
"Moze? How do you feel?"
"Very good. Seems like you withstood it once again."
"Keep holding on. Don't be afraid. All of your ailments will be eliminated."
"When that time comes... You can do whatever you please. Hunt the beasts of the wild, protect your companions, live a long and healthy life..."
"When your body is completely healed... you will obtain a whole life... you will become our true family."
"When that time comes, we must carry on each other's wills."
Who knew that one has to bear so much pain to finally find their family.
"It hurts..."
He can no longer take it. The sound of agony finds its way through the cracks in his gritted teeth. However, the person by his side simply says:
"Unity of Discipuli Medicus, the Immortality's true path. Pass this trial in safety, and victory would mean life."
"The mercy of Sanctus Medicus."
No one cares what he has to say, so he slowly grows accustomed to not talking.
