Although Edward is still unable to determine whether this rumor is true or false, he has started making preparations since he heard the rumor.
Since the "secret place" is said to be in the wild, you must be prepared to go to the wild.
Edward ignored the unknown dangers in the wild for the time being. The first preparation he had to make was how to prevent being illuminated by the moonlight in the wild?
Either have a lot of soul coins and resist the moonlight.
Or create a movable room...for example, a fully enclosed carriage.
Edward decided to prepare both sides.
It is necessary not only to reserve more soul coins, but also to build a fully enclosed mechanical carriage made of strong and solid materials.
In this way, even if you encounter a powerful beast in the wild, you can use the defense of the carriage to resist it; moreover, the mechanical horse also has a certain fighting power. Although it may not be able to help, at least it will not cause trouble like a live horse.
——If the horse is alive, it will be swallowed by a wild beast not long after leaving the house.
While making preparations, Edward also continued to inquire about the secret place.
He even left the town of Yi with the help of a noble lady's mechanical carriage and went to the nearby Lingcheng and Jidu. Both of these are relatively large cities in the world of Yi, with a population of six.
digits or more.
Because he did not have household registration in Lingcheng or Jidu, he could only stay temporarily for three days at a time.
With only a few days left, Edward kept asking for news about the "secret place".
The "customers" who have accepted his customization will occasionally help. There is even a customer who helped Edward get a library admission card that is common to both Lingcheng and Jidu.
Although you cannot borrow books from the library, you can enter and read them in the library business world of the two capitals.
Relying on this admission card, Edward went from Yi Zhi Town to Ling City and Ji Capital almost every week to read relevant documents and books.
Time passed by so quickly.
Maybe five years, maybe six years.
After so many years, he finally relied on his own hands to earn enough soul coins to stay in the wild for more than half a year without being illuminated by the moonlight.
In addition, he also purchased a mechanical carriage with amazing defense capabilities.
You can stay in the wild longer.
Although Edward still has not found the exact coordinates of the secret place, according to some book records, he can determine that a secret place appeared in the southeast of Yi Zhi Town a hundred years ago.
In the past hundred years, there have been others like him who have searched for the secret place, but none of them have found it.
Even so, Edward still set his first stop at the Secret Forest in the southeast of Yi Zhi Town.
In the secret forest, there is no road.
After all, there is no need for people in Yi World not to go deep into the wilderness, let alone deep forests.
However, it doesn't matter if there is no road. Just use the strong and sturdy gears of the mechanical carriage to create a road out of thin air.
Edward originally thought that he could stay in the Secret Forest for at least half a year.
But the real situation is that half a month later, the mechanical carriage was eroded by an unknown fog in the forest, leaving holes everywhere.
The soul coin is very powerful, and it can still support the soul barrier to avoid this unknown fog.
But in the fog, the consumption of soul coins is very large.
Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, one soul coin after another is melting, dissolving, and sublimating.
With Edward's soul coin reserve, he can survive for two or three months even in the fog.
But I can't bear it...the fog is just a disaster in the secret forest.
Edward encountered another evil wind disaster. The evil wind can also blow into the soul, blow your soul to pieces, and even erode your soul.
Soul coins are still very useful in dealing with evil winds.
However, with the fog and evil wind, the consumption is terrifying.
If the night moon and blood moon were added to the fog and evil wind... Edward felt that he was already a poor household.
Because the consumption of soul coins could not sustain his stay any longer, in the end his trip to the secret forest only lasted a month.
A month later, he returned to Yi Zhi Town and continued to live as before.
In the eyes of other people in the town, Edward has become a little numb and has probably given up on leaving. This is actually normal. People who are first thrown into the Yi world are constantly thinking about leaving and looking for secret places.
.
But when he hit the wall, he realized that it was actually difficult to find a way out of the Yi world.
This is a closed world, or in other words, a closed box garden.
You can only enter, but cannot exit.
According to other people's speculations, after this experience, Edward should no longer think about looking for a secret place. He will most likely get married and have children here like others.
After the second generation is born, the new child will be completely marked with the Yi World.
For them, the ritual world is a mother world, not a bondage.
Life has been turned around since then, and the reverse journey has never been the same again.
However, this is just an outsider's idea. For Edward, he still has not given up.
After seeing the broader sky outside, I wanted him to stay in a small pond and just be a fish, but he couldn't do it.
Edward is numb on the surface, because he has to start making money again. This is a numb and mechanical job. Even though hair making, hair dyeing, and makeup are his hobbies, when the hobby turns into a job, even Edward
It will also be very annoying and numb.
However, unlike his numb appearance, his heart was still hot.
He never lost his yearning for freedom.
In the following days, while purchasing fur materials and customizing various wigs, he continued to explore the wider world - this does not refer to the wild, but other big cities.
He has been to Basak City, which is located on an oasis. The owners here are no longer humans, but sandworms.
I have also been to the black smoke city that hovers on the mountainside. The people here are made of smoke, and I don’t know where it comes from the outside world.
I have also been to the Sleepless Night Harbor run by ghosts. These ghosts are neither living souls nor undead spirits. They are simply a tribe of spirits. They are also a tribe that Edward has never seen before. They are probably the creators of the Yi World, who came from unknown time and space.
Throwed in.
In these cities run by various ethnic groups, Edward used soul coins to clear the way and obtain permission to stay long-term.
He brought beauty makeup and hair to all tribes, and when he left, he took away the secret information of each tribe.
Once he makes enough money, he will try to find secret places in the wild.
After the soul coins are used up, I will continue to return to the city and give everyone a little shock of beauty and hairdressing.
This daily ecology continues.
Edward himself has forgotten how many times he has been to the wild and how many disasters he has encountered in the wild...
Even the time was a little blurry to him.
Decades? Hundreds of years? Or has it been a thousand years?
No matter how long it took, the only thing that Edward never gave up was his heart that wanted to be free.
Round and round, round and round.
Later, Edward returned to Yi Zhi Town.
The reason he came back this time was because Edward was a little tired, and he still didn't give up looking for a way to leave; but he planned to take a rest and slow down his pace.
So, he returned to the place where he first descended into the world.
This is not only the city of his original intention, but also his inner safe place.
After he returned to Yizhi Town, he continued to run a makeup and hair salon.
Perhaps it was due to unintentional planting of the secret place that he could not find in the past, but when he returned to Yi Zhi Town, he got a piece of news.
This news still came from his guests.
This guest was a species he had never seen before, a pale blue jellyfish whose body was surrounded by twinkling stars.
This starlight jellyfish customer needs a custom-made wig that suits its temperament, and the material used in the wig is the jellyfish whiskers that it sheds.
