Yue Chuo knew very well that this was not his world; he also knew very well that he was definitely not in a dream.
Behind a small waterfall, Yue Chuo and a girl named Ling, whom he had known for less than half an hour, were hiding in the middle of the slippery rock wall under the cover of the water curtain.
It's hard to describe Zero's appearance simply with words like stunning. Her bright eyes are as clear as lake water on an autumn night, and her gaze reveals a complex expression that is sometimes gentle, sometimes thoughtful, and extremely determined. Her long black hair reaches her hips.
Floating in the water, one or two strands of hair hang down from the corner of the forehead. The little water droplets caught when passing through the waterfall make it look particularly crystal clear.
Although she is no more than 23 years old and is wearing a medieval light leather armor with rough workmanship and many scuffs, it cannot stop the solemn and elegant temperament on her face. The viewer can't help but feel a desire for her.
Being close, but not causing any distracting thoughts, just wanting to protect the subtle feelings of respect and love.
However, what Yue Chuo cares about most is not Ling's beauty that is difficult to describe in words, but that she looks so much like the face he has painted countless times - his fiancée!
"Well..." At least Yuechuo has determined that there is no language barrier for Linghe himself in this world, "Are you really sure someone is chasing us?"
"I'm talking about tracking." Zero frowned and did not turn around to look at him, still carefully staring at the edge of the pool opposite the water curtain.
Although the chirping of summer insects could be heard, the water in the pool was unusually cold. Yue Chuo couldn't help but fold his arms and rub them vigorously, trying to bring some warmth to his body.
He tried to organize everything that happened in his brain, but it was not easy. The hangover made him feel dizzy and nauseous, and most of his memories seemed to have been eaten away by alcohol.
The scene I can still recall is when I bought two bottles of Erguotou from the shop downstairs of my home after get off work.
Because the next day was the weekend - this was a habit he had developed after his fiancée left him. He shut himself up at home throughout the weekend, drinking with his thoughts, and repeatedly painting his fiancée's portrait.
The last memory, after drinking two bottles of wine, the feeling of pain and loneliness crazily invaded the brain, the whole chest seemed to be hollowed out, and the trembling hands touched the face on the canvas that was so close yet so far away.
.
after……
When he opened his eyes again, she was right in front of him, looking so strange and caring, staring at him. So clear, so real. Yue Chuo felt tears streaking across his cheeks, and he held her tightly into his arms, and his body was filled with tears.
She was trembling with joy. But after a moment of silence, she suddenly pushed herself to the ground——
Only later did he realize that this was not her, but a girl named Zero who looked exactly like her.
Zero said that she rescued him from a king dragon, and when she took him to escape, she found that someone was following their whereabouts. Because he was injured when rescuing him, no matter what the purpose of the other party, it was safer to avoid it for the time being.
In this way, a scene appeared that made Yue Chuo feel so overwhelmed and cold.
Yes! She was injured - Yue Chuo woke up from his chaotic thoughts and looked at Ling, who was cautiously keeping a certain distance from him.
The first thing that catches the eye is the two-handed sword standing against the wall between the two people, being used as a dividing line. The sword is almost as long as Zero's height and as wide as a forearm, reminding Yue Chuo not to do anything wrong.
move.
Then came the scars on Zero's left shoulder. The entire shoulder guard was completely scratched, leaving some leather fragments hanging on the armor. Two shocking cracks extended from the shoulder to the chest and tore the leather armor apart. The skin under the cracks was
Some strips of cloth had been hastily bandaged, and the black and coagulated blood dyed the entire left half of his body red.
"Your injuries look very serious..." Yue Chuo felt strong worry coming over him.
"It's okay." Ling glanced at the wound, calmly as if talking to someone else, "The wound is not too deep, but the claws of the king dragon are poisonous. I tried my best to squeeze out the poisonous blood, but I couldn't get it all out. If
If we can avoid the people who are following us and rush back as soon as possible, then that girl probably won’t let me die..."
"That girl? It sounds like you don't believe she can help you."
"Is there any way?" A warm smile unexpectedly appeared on Zero's face, "Although that child believes that he will become a first-class light magician, in the end, apart from treating animals, I have only been able to heal minor injuries.
More than humans.”
"She's a veterinarian! Don't you have a hospital there? Wait a minute -" Yue Chuo suddenly noticed something, "You mean a light warlock! A magician? Are you kidding me..."
"Did you hit your head?" Zero showed an incomprehensible expression, "The kid said that if you hit your head too hard, you may forget many things."
"I don't think I have amnesia. I remember everything. I remember..."
"It's a joke that there are no magicians in the Magic Palace," Zero didn't care about his insistence, "Unless you're not from this world. If that's the case, you'd be awesome."
"I am indeed not from this world." Yue Chuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, raising his hand to point to the sky, "There is only one moon in my world."
Outside the waterfall, in the night sky, there is the most powerful evidence that this world is not the earth - two moons. One moon is yellow and slightly larger; the other is blue. The two moons overlap slightly and seem to be very close to the ground.
You can even clearly see the rugged craters above.
Because of the bright light cast by the two moons, it can be seen that most of the plants in the dense forest in front of us are various shades of blue.
Because of this, Yue Chuo was so sure that this was not his world. And as he was haunted by his fiancée every night, he knew very well that he was not in a dream.
"A moon..." Ling Meng murmured, "In that unknown space, there is a planet dyed blue by the ocean, the land is covered with precious green plants, and a unique bright moon like a silver plate hangs in the night sky -
—. My grandpa asked me to enter this dense forest that I was never allowed to go deep into to look for a man in strange clothes - could he be a sage! No wonder even my grandpa didn't know what the person he wanted me to look like, what his name was, or even whether he was a man.
Even women don’t know…”
"Grandpa, sage." Yue Chuo began to feel that the encounter with Ling was not accidental, "You mean someone asked you to come to me..."
Before she finished speaking, Ling suddenly raised her hand to cover Yue Chuo's mouth, looking extremely nervous. Because she raised her hand too hastily, it affected the wound, and some still dim blood oozed from the cloth wrapped around the wound. But she frowned.
, gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to moan at all.
Yue Chuo was startled by this sudden move, and then a light body fragrance mixed with water vapor came from his nose. It was so similar to the smell of his long-lost fiancée that he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A blush suddenly appeared on Ling's face, and he rolled his eyes shyly. He hurriedly pulled his hand away and wanted to give him a slap in the face. But as soon as he swung it out, it hit the injured area again. He pouted in pain and lowered his mouth angrily.
Hands go.
"Don't make any sound." After a moment, Ling said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito, "That person is already here."
Yue Chuo pursed his lips and nodded, but he was still curious about why Zero was so nervous. Judging from Zero's clothes, this planet is probably still in the cold weapon age. In addition, the so-called magician is probably still a person with a weak legal system.
The world. Even in his "modern" world, it is full of all kinds of desperadoes, so there is no sense of security in this world. However, he still stretched his neck, trying to see clearly who was coming.
What does it look like? Is it really so dangerous?
But there was nothing on the other side, no figure, no sound of footsteps.
Only the gentle breeze made the vegetation sway and make a rustling sound.
After maintaining tense and stiff movements for more than ten minutes, just when Yue Chuo began to secretly laugh at Ling, some of the plants and trees were in a panic, a figure slowly walked through the leaf forest and walked towards the shore. Only then did Yue Chuo marvel at how clever Ling's ears and eyes were.
Through the moonlight, it can be seen that the other person is a thin young man with long blond hair neatly combed back and shiny, making the person look like the second generation ancestor in old movies.
The young man was very handsome. At least when Yue Chuo looked at him, he felt a little ashamed of his appearance. Of course, he believed that his mature masculinity could not be matched by the young man's flashy appearance. And under that handsome face
, I always feel that there is a faint evil aura that makes people sick.
The man wore a well-tailored black robe, with a black cloak lined with crimson fur clasped on his shoulders. When he turned slightly sideways, he seemed to be able to see some circular patterns painted with dark gold lines on the cloak.
Yue Chuo, whose teeth were chattering while soaking in the cold pool water, couldn't help complaining when he saw the visitor's attire. This was probably the so-called upper class in this world. Wearing this outfit in summer would only cover up prickly heat, but that's all.
It's not too cumbersome to dress like this in the dense forest.
On his chest hangs a round gold pendant. You can clearly see that in the center is carved a dragon with outstretched wings and fangs and claws. There are blazing flames surrounding the dragon's body.
"Bat wings, foreign species." Yue Chuo secretly sneered in his heart, "No matter how much he grins, he still lacks the divine domineering power of the Chinese dragon."
When they saw that the young man was holding a beautifully carved cane with a large ruby inlaid on the head, Yue Chuo and Ling almost exclaimed at the same time.
