After lamenting his wounds, Mr. Iroh regained his silence.

He didn't speak, Pan Long didn't want to speak for the time being, and there was silence in the small hall of the bookstore.

After a long time, the fog gradually cleared, and the streets and pedestrians became clear.

Pan Long walked out of the bookstore with great interest and stood on the street and looked around.

It was the first time since he came into this world that he had seen a situation without fog.

Unfortunately, without the fog, London doesn't look pretty at all.

Piles of garbage and puddles of sewage can be seen everywhere on the ground. It's strange that you don't see beggars, you don't see wild cats and dogs.

Horse-drawn carriages are parked under the streetlights of the streets, waiting for customers who might come to patronize the business. The horses pulling the carts looked old and tired, and the coachmen were almost all dressed in old dresses, thinking that this was their uniform.

Pan Long guessed that perhaps the dress on his body was the most important "fixed asset" of many coachmen.

From the location of Moran's bookstore, Big Ben can be seen in the distance. The tall clock tower, which could be considered a landmark in London, was the only thing he saw. In the setting sun, the golden tower body is faintly bright, while the blue tower top and clock dial reveal a solemn feeling.

Pan Long stared at the clock tower, which was famous even in his previous life, and his thoughts couldn't help but transcend time and space, returning to the prosperous era in which he once lived.

I don't know how long it took for him to be awakened by a voice coming from behind.

"Does Mr. Pan like the clock tower very much?"

He turned around and saw Miss Moran standing not far behind him.

She politely kept her distance, with a friendly smile on her face and a little curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes. Pan Long did not hide his meaning, "In my hometown, many big cities have built bell and drum towers, and every day at a fixed time, by striking bells and beating drums to tell the time. ”

"But...... The bell and drum tower in my hometown is not such a bell. ”

Miss Moran smiled: "I know what kind of bell you are talking about, but in fact, in the past, the clock tower in London also rang the kind of hanging bronze bell. But it was only later that the bell tower was built, which changed that. Now the clock tower is all about auto-chime. ”

"Times are advancing. This progressive trend is unstoppable. Pan Long said, "People can't, the country can't, Si Chen...... Nor can it. ”

Miss Moran nodded: "Yes, the tide of progress is unstoppable. Whoever tries to stop this tide will only be crushed by it in turn. Si Chen is not immortal, in the past years, more than one Si Chen has fallen. ”

"Among the histories, there is even a history of 'worms' defeating 'Si Chen'. Pan Long said with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't have the ability to cross all histories, otherwise it's not bad to go to that history to open my eyes and see for a long time." ”

Miss Moran said, "Mr. Norman's greatest wish is to gain the ability to transcend history. But that's hard, at least to become an immortal. Even...... If there is no corresponding ability, even Si Chen may not be able to do it. ”

She looked at the sunset that was gradually setting, and said leisurely: "It is said that Si Chen in the history is different. If we can reach other histories, maybe we will have the opportunity to meet Si Chen, who has fallen in our history......"

"Is there any particular benefit to that?"

“...... It's just an idea as a scholar. ”

Pan Long nodded in understanding.

All people have their own pursuits, and academics are no exception. Some people are poor, some people are on the road all year round, some people are blushing over a trivial matter that seems meaningless to others, even at the cost of their lives—the pursuit of scholars is often incomprehensible.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, as long as they don't hurt you and everyone respects each other.

The sun was setting and the sky was getting darker.

In the eastern sky, golden moon rings have emerged.

Miss Moran looked at the moonlight and suddenly said, "Tonight, if you are interested, you can walk around the streets of London." ”

"Will you encounter anything special?"

"Perhaps, you will come across the famous 'Moonlight Street'. "It's one of our most famous sights in London. Si Chen's power of 'Arc Moon' seeps from the wandering to the earthly world, often distorting a certain street in London in a bizarre way. If you are interested, you can check it out. ”

"Will there be a very special view?"

"It's a little bit dangerous for the average person. Because it is easy for ordinary people to be contaminated with spirituality there. They can't understand this spirituality and they get lost. I feel like I've realized something, but I haven't realized anything, I'm just contaminated with madness. "But it's not dangerous for us. Maybe you'll find inspiration in the wonderful streets, or maybe you'll be able to bring peace to yourself, and maybe even some tangible insights...... For some time, Mr. Norman was keen to find the 'Moonlit Street', where he said he could find the truth. ”

"Did he succeed?"

"He later said, 'It's stupid,' and never went again. ”

Pan Long laughed: "In that case, I must go and see this place that can make Mr. Norman sigh 'stupid'!"

So he went back to Haven's house, asked Mrs. Haven to warm some fish soup, baked bread, and told her that he might have to go out in the evening.

"It's not good to go out at night. Mrs. Haven advised, "The night in London is not safe. ”

"I'm a guy who can travel here from tens of thousands of miles away. For me, there is nothing other than natural disasters and war that qualifies as 'unsafe'. Pan Long said with a smile.

He went back to his room and lay down, woke up in the middle of the night, and went out.

London is calm and foggy tonight, with the moonlight in the sky and the gas street lamps on the ground, making the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets look quite quiet and beautiful.

Pan Long wandered the streets at random, looking for possible "moonlit streets".

He walked for a while, and before he could find the street distorted by the moonlight, he heard the sound of running, chasing, and yelling.

I followed the sound and saw four or five people running in the dark street with no street lights. The man in front of him was petite and looked to be either a woman or a teenager. The people in the back are tall and burly, and at a glance, they know that Kong Wu is powerful.

While running, the strong men were still scolding: "Rose! You little XX who should be XX! Catch you this time, we must let the brothers take turns XX you, until you die!"

Pan Long nodded, obviously it was a little girl who ran away in front.

The little girl immediately retorted: "What is the use of shouting on your lips, you fellows with all the flesh on your arms!" The gypsy girl of the 'Happy Carriage' has long said that you are not useful at all!"

The brawny men grew angrier, shouting and cursing, desperately chasing after them.

But the little girl named Rose, though petite, was not slow at all. She ran as she scolded, even slightly faster than the brawny men.

If nothing else, she should be able to escape with excellent foot strength.

But at this moment, the street they were running on suddenly shone with a strange light like moonlight.

The light rippled through the air, and in the blink of an eye, the entire street was shrouded in moonlight.

The streets in the moonlight began to distort noticeably, and the road that had not been long became endless, and there were many light and dark lights flickering on both sides of the street. Figures could be seen in the light, some standing still, some running away as if surprised, and some heading down the road.

"Moonlight Street" has appeared!

Pan Long was taken aback, he didn't expect that the "moonlight street" that was just a sentence in the game would be such a wonderful scenery after it became reality.

At this moment, several people who were running had already rushed into the moonlit street, and ran a long way into the depths of the street.

But they soon came to their senses and found themselves in a strange place.

The strong men stopped first, and one of the strong men said in a trembling voice, "Old ...... Boss, this place ...... It's weird!"

"I'm not blind!" said the strong man at the head of the group.

He looked left and right, hesitated slightly, and then made a decision: "There must be something strange about this place...... Let's withdraw first, let that little XX go this time!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and turned around and ran towards the road he had just come.

The rest of the strong men immediately followed him and hurried over there. Their steps were quicker than they came, as if they were being chased by a group of demons and monsters.

In a few moments, they rushed to the edge of the moonlit street, and ran out smoothly, and ran away as if fleeing for their lives.

But the little girl named Rose did not run, and she stood in the marvelous street, looking curiously from place to place.

As a "bold boy" who dares to snatch food from those murderous villains, Rose is fearless.

...... In other words, for a person who has been jumping on the verge of death all year round, there is nothing to fear in the world.

Just a few minutes ago, she was threatened with death.

The street does look quirky and seems to have a big problem. But no matter how dangerous it is, can it be more dangerous than being caught by that group of villains?

That's going to be XX to death!

She was also a very cautious person, and did not act rashly, but stood in the middle of the street, motionless under her feet, cautiously watching from side to side.

At this time, Pan Long also came to this street.

"The view is truly amazing. He said, "This is the first time I have seen such a sight, little girl, what about you?"

Rose jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and shouted angrily, "Why do you call me 'little girl'?

Pan Long laughed dumbly.

The age of his own life is indeed not very big.

Although he has a beard, which the average person might think is not young, if you are used to dealing with bearded people, it is easy to see that he is at least quite young.

Of course, whether it is the Kyushu world or this world, well-informed people do not judge a person's age by their appearance.

But...... At least this little girl, named Rose, is obviously not so well-informed. She obviously didn't know that there were people in the world, no matter how old they were, who would never age because of this, and would be forever young.

Pan Long looked at her angry appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let me change your name, this lady, have you ever seen such a scene before?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Rose's face, and she obviously liked the title.

But her smile quickly became sly: "This gentleman with an oriental face, I am a businessman, and for us, news is also a commodity, which is to be bought for money. ”

"How much?"

"Two ...... No, a shilling. Rose said tentatively.

Pan Long smiled, took out his wallet, and pulled out a pound note from it.

With a flick of his finger, the thin note flew slowly towards Rose and flew in front of her.

Rose's eyes widened as she looked at the note, which was completely contrary to her common sense, and flew in front of her in a posture that could be called leisurely.

But as soon as she saw the pattern and the value of the banknote, her eyes lit up, and she threw all her worries and worries out of the clouds, and reached out and grabbed it.

Flipping through the large bill several times, she put the pound under her nose and took a deep breath.

"What a pound!" she said in a dream-like tone, "it's like a dream!"

"It's not a dream. Pan Long said, "If you can answer some of my questions and give me answers that satisfy me, I can give you another ...... Or a few. ”

Rose suddenly became excited, and her whole person became high-spirited. She quickly put the pound away, and then exclaimed, "Ask!"

Pan Long nodded and asked, "Are you a native of London?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know about that. Rose smiled a somewhat sarcastically, "I've been begging for a living in London for as long as I can remember. But if you ask me if I'm Londoner, I don't know – after all, sir, you must know that there can be no such thing as a 'domicile' for someone like me. ”

Pan Long frowned and asked, "So, have you ever seen such a scene before?"

"No, not at all!" replied Rose at once, "but I've heard of similar views. ”

"Oh? ”

"It is said that there are many places in this London city that we don't notice. These places sometimes appear and sometimes disappear. If you are able to get in when it appears, you may find some unique treasure that can be sold for a good price. But...... If you can't get out in time before it's gone, then you'll never get out. ”

Speaking of this, Rose looked a little nervous: "So, dear sir. I suggest that we leave for now and observe the scenery outside. ”

The little girl had already made a lot of money, and she didn't want to risk it for the time being.
