"We've arrived at the hotel. Let's consider this other thing as a gift for what we saw today. I just feel sorry for leading the way." After sending Andre to the hotel he booked, Aron said goodbye to him, and at the same time he took out a copy
A temporary "printed" map of Valley Town.
Probably the Valley Town itself doesn't have such a thing. Alon has done them a big favor, and of course the natives won't be very happy.
"Thank you!" Andri took the map and glanced at it. His surprise was palpable and he did not refuse.
"I will also stay in the town for a while. If you need my help, please don't be stingy. This is how to contact me." Aron took out a glass bird.
He has prepared many of these glass birds, each with different functions. Naturally, he also has reserves for special communication purposes.
"This! Is it a creation of clever magic?!" Andre solemnly took the glass bird with both hands and said with a trembling voice.
The sound grew uncontrollably, but fortunately there was no one in this shabby hotel.
This also attracted the attention of the sinister man with a sickly face at the front desk.
"No need to make a fuss, yes, this is a clever creation I made, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of our meeting." Aaron couldn't help but use spiritual comfort to calm his emotions, and then said.
"I will cherish it!" Andre looked solemn.
Aaron really wanted to say that it shouldn't be like this. Apart from Aaron's own crafting fee, the raw materials and other materials for this thing are quite cheap. After all, ingenuity and magic are useless in another world.
But seeing Andri's excitement, Aaron remembered himself when he first learned magic.
The power in his body is violent and restless, and once it is released, it will be a disaster for those around him.
When he first learned that there was a technology that could control his own power and even benefit others, he had the same expression as Andre.
The joy of discovering new things, the curiosity about unknown areas.
Even though he has been wandering for many years, Andri seems to have not been dulled by the worldly world.
Being able to meet Andri was a worthwhile trip for Aron.
"Goodbye." Aaron saluted.
Andri was stunned for a moment, and then returned the orthodox mage salute from the mage tower.
Looking at Alon's back walking away with the pretty doll lady, Andri still felt a little warm in his heart even though he was in a strange and dangerous remote town.
However, Andre recalled the salute that Aaron had just given him.
It was a ceremony he had never seen before, and it was not the etiquette of various countries or even some organizations on the Golden Continent. However, it seemed to have some impression.
It seemed to be a very ancient book he saw in the collection of books in the Mage Tower, and he glanced at it.
The memory is a bit old.
Andri was not obsessed with this, and his mind soon focused more on his friend's commission.
…
"We are lucky, we can meet such people as soon as we get here." Xing Liuli glanced at Aaron several times while walking on the road.
Is it an illusion? I always feel that he is in a pretty good mood.
Is it because of that idiot just now?
"Yes, I'm glad that he will be the first person to greet me on this long-awaited land." Aaron's tone was brisk and his shoulders shrugged slightly.
"So you can be sure that this is the world we used to have?" Xing Liuli asked, this was the question she was most concerned about.
"I can be sure that this is my world, because the marks of the world are the same. Even though except for the marks of the world, everything in the world is completely different." Hearing this, Aaron's tone dropped slightly.
"The mark of the world?" Xing Liuli was puzzled by this term.
"This is still relatively far away from you. Just know that this is a real corner of the world that can only be perceived and glimpsed through specific senses." Aaron explained simply and somewhat vaguely.
Xing Liuli nodded in understanding.
"As for whether it is your world, of course I don't know. If you take into account the fact that you responded to the word "heritage" in the water prison, then this is obviously your world."
Hearing this, Xing Liuli expressed his understanding. The information they currently have about this world is still not much, and Xing Liuli itself does not have detailed characteristics for comparison, so naturally it is impossible to see everything at once.
Although he expressed his understanding, his puppet master already had a clue, and there was still no clue about his past. Xing Liuli could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Is it possible to ask "her"?
As soon as this idea came up, Xing Liuli immediately shook it off, and then asked as if to divert his attention.
"Are there many worlds?" This is also a question she has been curious about for a long time.
"There are many, there are many worlds born in chaos, with different strange creatures and all kinds of unexpected and beautiful scenery." Aron looked up at the sky.
"However, some worlds have come to an end early, and the ending is not happy." He said solemnly.
Xing Liuli raised his head and looked at the sky together.
Suddenly, her pupils shrank.
It is clear that the sky is gloomy during the day, but at night it is cloudless. In the clear night sky, the stars shine and reflect each other.
It was like a feast that no one knew was going on.
"Is it beautiful?" Aaron's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Beautiful..." Xing Liuli shuddered, lowered her head and looked back, "But it feels inexplicable..."
fear.
As a weak individual, exposed under the starry sky, he seemed to be watched by unknown beings and became an actor performing a play in their eyes.
Very scared and uneasy.
"Relax." Aaron's voice soothed her from the shock.
"I don't know why, but the bad feeling coming from the sky is much lessened." Aaron said.
Xing Liuli looked at him and said nothing.
"This world has always been their focus. No matter how much time has passed for humans, time has gradually lost its meaning for them. But why is there less breath in the sky in this era?" Alon fell into it again.
Thinking.
Do they not care about this place anymore?
Has one of their goals been achieved?
No, as long as this world exists, their purpose cannot succeed.
So what exactly are they...
Changed strategy?
It's hard to imagine those guys doing that.
But this seems to be the only possibility at the moment.
Whoosh——
"Woo!" Suddenly, Yue Tomb shouted.
There was no need for Yue Tomb to call, just the movement just now and Xing Liuli could detect something near them.
"The familiar and disgusting rancid smell, I'm in a good mood today, let's get rid of it cleanly." Aaron said, putting down the hand holding Yue Tomb.
Yue Tomb landed firmly on the ground and looked at Alon.
But Aaron did not temporarily give it 10,000 magic points as usual.
The familiar feeling comes through the operating circuit.
"Woooo?" Yue Tomb screamed several times.
Without waiting for Xing Liuli to cast a doubtful glance, she soon felt a wonderful experience of gradually losing autonomy in her limbs and even her head. Finally, this feeling penetrated deep into the magic circuit and even the original nucleus.
White puppet threads flashed on Yue Tomb and Xing Liuli's bodies for an instant, and then disappeared into the air.
"Fight for you?" Xing Liuli said one word.
Then her arms moved, a cold wind whizzed past, and then a bright "crescent" made of ice crystals came out of her hands.
Crescent Moon flew directly into the shadows.
Poof!
The sound of flesh being cut was immediately heard.
The next moment, several black shadows jumped out from the surrounding alleys, surrounding Aaron and his party.
Humanoid, but not human.
It has rubber-like skin, a forward-leaning upper body, a dog-like head, bipedal hooves, and sharp claws on its hands. Most of its body is covered with some kind of fungus.
Ghoul.
"There are no traces of magic changes, no traces of pollution, and there is no such strong extraterritorial atmosphere. The IQ does not seem to be high, which means that it is not native but a hybrid generated by magic summons. Your master, that guy took your
Has the summoning contract been made public?" Aaron glanced at these ghouls one by one and made a judgment.
Although he spoke, it was a pity that these ghouls were not intelligent enough, and all they could answer him was strange and unpleasant cries, as if they were crying.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in you, please step aside."
Aaron naturally did not let them retreat on their own. He knew clearly that ghouls would not easily surrender to things outside of their beliefs. Even hybrid ghouls could only rely on summoning contracts to reluctantly reach cooperation.
Therefore, he naturally planned to do it himself.
Yue Tomb and Xing Liuli rushed towards the surrounding ghouls at the same time, in order to make them retreat from this world.
