He and It

"About?" Xie Ning shrugged, "I'm quite impressed with him."

"But my question is who you like," Echidna stretched out the tip of her finger and poked his arm gently, "not who you are impressed by."

Xie Ning replied: "I think he is pretty good. You see, his only choice is the boulder and the mountain, but he still chooses to destroy the stone day after day even though he knows that this is an endless cycle of suffering. Pushed to the top of the mountain...So, for him, this is no longer a punishment, but a testimony of holding his destiny in his own hands."

Echidna was silent for a while: "The other possibility is that if he doesn't do this, a more cruel end will be waiting for him. But your view is also very reasonable, at least I have never thought of it that way."

"Are you satisfied now?" Xie Ning stared at him and stretched out the tip of her finger to poke Echidna's forearm, "Write quickly, write quickly, don't stop!"

In this way, they chatted endlessly, making childish jokes to each other from time to time, rolling into a ball on the carpet with joy, procrastinatingly finishing the reply, and handed it to the giant.

Life finally has a little more lively elements. With the "great human painter living in the devil's lair" as a gimmick, artists come and go, and I don't know who started it. A group of people who got the reply accidentally discovered , the stone slab with ancient words engraved on it seems to have ancient divine power, and it can actually prevent and cure poisons in the wild. Therefore, after people transcribed the content of the original text, they separated the stone slabs piece by piece and carried them with them as amulets. Sure enough, they were immune to insects and poisonous snakes.

As the news spread, more travelers came to Cilicia. Among them are not only painters, sculptors and playwrights, but also many businessmen and hunters. They all came here because they heard about the magical effects of stone slabs and planned to try their luck.

The more bustling the crowd became, the more closely Echidna paid attention to Xie Ning. In his mind, the outside world became more and more mixed, which was not a good sign. If possible, he really wanted to draw a poisonous river to separate Arima from the world. However, he certainly could not easily spoil Dolos' fun - how happy his lover was to receive the letter, how carefree his smile was.

Fortunately, the situation was stopped in time: this trend of searching for the devil's words was difficult to last. Many gods walking under the sun have condemned the world and their believers who pursue amulets. Because this sign is very dangerous, and Echidna is not a god who can be worshiped openly.

After the noisy spring passed, Xie Ning made several pen pals during her first summer here.

The pen pals are both men and women, and they are all artistic creators from all over the world. The farthest one came from Thessaly on the other side of the ocean. She was a world-famous playwright. Hercules Fights Death for a Friend is still a classic play popular in the Athens Theater.

Just like a beach washed by big waves, there are always a few shells left under the water after most of the onlookers have left. In Echidena's words, they are "stubborn stones that refuse to let the water recede." These people cherished the friendship of correspondence with Xie Ning and decided to stay here temporarily and use their talents to glorify the court of Cilicia.

No matter how martial a country Cilicia is, it cannot violate the host's etiquette for receiving guests. Xothoth must entertain generously and welcome the arrival of these artists, otherwise, even if he is a powerful king in the world, he will inevitably be criticized and criticized by the world.

Just when the numerous letters and paintings exchanged between the two parties were piled up on the third bookcase, the artists jointly signed a secret letter. The letter stated that they planned to hold a secret cocktail party. The location of the cocktail party could be designated by Xie Ning. The only request was that Xie Ning could also attend this secret cocktail party. They were very eager to meet their friend.

Xie Ning listened to Echidna read out the text and didn't speak for a long time.

"...What do you think?" he asked softly.

Echidna threw the parchment away angrily, angry and anxious.

He was angry that these humans dared to try to abduct Dolos with words. As for the anxiety, it was because he spent a lot of time ghostwriting for Dolos, and then watched the words and deeds of those people through the magic mirror, knowing that they were all normal and good people in the universal sense. , for human beings, can be regarded as qualified friends.

Since it was a sincere plea, his deliberate provocation and provocation seemed to be unreasonable.

He stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms: "You know my answer, Dolos! After seeing your long silence, I also understand the answer in your heart. Before you, human emotions were very burdensome to me. I don't think 'friendship' is something that is necessary. But these days, you are so happy to ponder every word of your reply, which makes me guess that for people, friendship is such an important thing and worth cherishing. .”

Xie Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I understand that if I go out, there is a high probability that something bad will happen."

He suddenly cheered up and asked: "If I invite them to Arima..."

"Are this foggy shadow and this poisonous river harmless to humans and animals?" The snake demon asked, "I love you so much. You stay with me for a long time, use balm, and drink the good blood of Gorgon. Only then can we completely ignore their influence. Those stubborn stones cannot avoid disasters like this. If you weren't sad and angry for their death, I would catch them to relieve your boredom and amuse you. What's the difficulty?"

After hearing this, Xie Ning slumped in frustration.

Echidna sighed deeply, kissed his lover on the lips, and said gloomily: "If you go out during the day, the new gods walking under the sun will definitely surround you and tease you inhumanely; if you go out at night, Ni Kes will be able to look at you, and many gods lurking in the darkness will also be afraid of my name and dare not embarrass you."

Xie Ning said in surprise: "Really or not?!"

"Really, Dolos," Echidena said reluctantly. He really couldn't bear the foreseeable short separation in the future, so he could only hug him tightly. "You want to go out, see friends, and be with each other." How can I not think of ways to realize your wish for your kindred communication? There is only one thing, if they really want to see you, they have to endure the moonless and starless night, otherwise, everything is out of the question!"
