Chapter 15: A New Visitor from the Otherworld

That strange dream still tormented Cheng Yun at night, but this time it seemed to be different.

Cheng Yun seems to have dreamed of a world, a foreign civilization—its development process and vicissitudes, its cultural customs and historical changes, its pride and helplessness......

In the first dreams, there were strange castles and temples, tall and thin civilians struggling to survive, and legends of gods, demons, and legendary creatures spread across the land.

The legions of the kingdom fought for the pride of the king on the frontier, winning or losing, always leaving behind a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood, and after the saturation and bombardment of the mage regiment, there were almost no weeds growing in the fields. In order to pay for the huge military expenses and ensure logistics, the government has increased taxes over and over again. Civilians born near war zones are even more pitiful, often forcibly drafted, and most of them never return, no matter what the quartermaster tells them to do.

After the mercenary group continues to build momentum, they embark on a 'dragon slaying journey', adventurers discover new resource mines, the Grand Duchess's desire to be dissatisfied, and the celebrity girl has an affair with a royal nobleman, all of which have become news that spreads throughout the kingdom and diverts people's attention.

……

Enemy invasions, internal uprisings, the fall of a kingdom, the rise of a kingdom are mostly repeated.

It seems that the world is no different from ancient China and Europe, except for magic. Only the mages have never stopped pursuing the truth, and they have used a completely different way from the earth's civilization to embody the rules of the universe and analyze everything in the world. As a result, the magical civilization began to rise, and it also promoted the progress of social civilization.

When the 'civilian army' broke the charge of the Bloodline Knights on the battlefield, and new weapons replaced the war status of the previous battlefield mage regiments, the ancient feudal system began to crumble. People gradually have thoughts, and for the first time they know what life is.

The withdrawal of battle mages from the stage of history has allowed the world civilization to develop faster.

The machine roared, and the runes glowed.

……

The once rumored endless desert was crossed by highways, bridges were erected over fissures and canyons, and traffic ran around the world. The cruiser has shattered the myth of the Sea of Silence, the armies of the developed countries have advanced to the edge of the realm of the legendary races, and the warplanes and airships have challenged the majesty of the former gods.

The world is developing and progressing rapidly, and every time people look back, they can't believe that they can do this.

……

Highly developed civilizations, great ethnic fusion, Eastern and Western countries that you chase after me, and the rapid development of magic have made the whole world change with each passing day and become extremely strange.

Chip intelligence, space experiments, one new term after another accompanied by new problems appeared.

The last view is fixed on a high mountain, and it seems that the old man is standing in this position, looking out over the horizon of the huge modern city - the tall buildings have even broken through the clouds, higher than the surrounding steep mountains, and the civil flying objects that come and go like bees can only pass through the cracks of the buildings. I don't know what kind of mind and feelings the old master had at that time, so he would stare here at this civilized world that was completely different from when he was young.

……

When Cheng Yun woke up, he found that it was only half past six, and it was almost time to get up and make breakfast.

He sat on the bed and rubbed his swollen and aching head, and was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, this should be the only time he has dreamed of the old master's civilization so far, and the rest of the time it is a landscape of mountains and rivers.

After getting up and washing up for a while, he began to get busy.

After making breakfast, he brought one to the old man as usual, and then went to the other end of the corridor to wake up Cheng Yan, and the two walked downstairs together with breakfast.

When he met Aunt Cleaning halfway, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Aunt Tang is early, have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat, eat. The cleaning aunt straightened up, holding a mop in one hand and a waist in the other, showing him a kind smile, "My granddaughter is going to school in the morning, and I will come back after eating, and I will send her to school by the way." ”

"That's it!" Cheng Yun smiled, "Then we'll go downstairs first, you slow down." ”

"Okay, be careful that you just mopped the floor, it's slippery!"

The hotel is almost open, and the diligent little girl Yu said that she has been sitting at the front desk for twenty minutes and has fantasized about the contents of this morning's breakfast several times.

Cheng Yun brought down two drawers of freshly steamed quick-frozen xiaolongbao and a pot of preserved egg and lean porridge, while Cheng Yan served a plate of pickles and a plate of tofu and milk. Except for the porridge, which is a little time-consuming, the rest are very simple, and the difficulty of operation is similar to that of bubble noodles.

As soon as she finished breakfast, Aunt Cleaning came down and asked Cheng Yun, "That Boss Cheng, do you want to clean the stairwell on the second and third floors with closed doors?"

"Well, I don't need that. ”

"I mean...... The door won't open. The cleaning aunt muttered and found a random place to sit down on the stairs, unscrewed the water glass and took a sip of water.

The cleaning aunt's name is Tang Guixiang, and she also lives in this area, and she rides an electric automatic car for five or six minutes. But unlike Yu Dianke, who used to rent a house, she was her son who bought a house and bought it around here, and took her over to take the child. The elderly want to find some work to do when they are idle, earn some money to reduce the burden for their children, and by the way, they are not so poor when they give their granddaughters pocket money.

Originally, Cheng Yun should have given her food and accommodation, but she lived close to her, and secondly, she had to take her grandson, and she had to go back to cook for her son and daughter-in-law at noon, so she didn't eat and live here, and she didn't ask for much money. The downside is that sometimes she may not be there if she needs to be cleaned urgently.

Probably related to yesterday's incident, although Yu ordered to eat this morning, although he was still very restrained, at least he dared to take the initiative to add porridge, and he almost ate a drawer of steamed buns alone.

It's just that she eats slowly, in small bites, and it's easy to ignore the fact that she eats a lot.

"I'm done, you eat slowly......" Cheng Yun just put down his chopsticks, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, which made him frown, "Huh?"

He still remembered this feeling, he felt it once a few days ago, and the old man came that day!

Cheng Yan looked at him: "What's wrong?

"No!" Cheng Yun said, standing up, "I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I went upstairs first!"

"You just don't want to wash the dishes!" Cheng Yan rolled his eyes, "Go, go, go." ”

Yu Dian also hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of buns in his mouth and said, "After you finish eating, let's go first, just put the bowl away, and I'll wash it." ”

Cheng Yun nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.

As he walked around the corner of the stairs, his speed increased sharply, and he quickly ran to the second floor and knocked on the old man's door.

"Master Fa, a new person is here!"

"Click!" the old man's door opened, and the face with the vicissitudes of time and a pair of wise eyes appeared in front of him, and said to him, "There is no need to panic, anyway, if you don't open the door, the one will not be able to come out." ”

"Well, that's right. ”

The two of them went upstairs unhurriedly, opened the warehouse door and walked into the dark node space.

The node space was still empty except for the luminous body, and Cheng Yun stared at the luminous body, and after a moment said, "He's a little slow, he should be there soon." ”

After such a long time, his connection with the node space seems to be getting closer and closer, and with the enlightenment of the old master, he can already sense a lot of changes in the node. Based on these changes and inductions, he could derive a lot of information, and the old master saved him a long process of groping.

"Master, if the visitor is not good, your old man needs a lot of help!"

"The universe is endless, and there are too many powerful creatures or races. The old man shook his head, "I'm not sure if I have the advantage of force against that one. ”

"You protect me for a moment, and we can get out!"

"Anyone who does it as soon as he sees it is a reckless man. The old man smiled and said, "But if there is really a reckless man, I will definitely try my best to protect you." ”

"......" Cheng Yun's face was heavy, in case the old master left in the future, but he really came recklessly......

It seems that you still have to learn how to deal with it yourself.

Suddenly, his face froze—

"It's coming!"

I saw that the luminous body suddenly flashed, and this increase in brightness was difficult to detect without looking carefully, but Cheng Yun was extremely sensitive to this this time.

The first thing that catches your eye is the end of a scabbard, which the owner used to tentatively protrude from the luminous body—the scabbard is of the most common yellow wood, and in some places is wrapped in thin iron, protruding two feet, in a graceful shape, slightly curved.

Then there is a long and narrow knife, the blade is slightly light and thin, the front half is straight, the tip of the knife has an upturned arc, the blade is nearly a meter long, resembling a goose feather, and the handle is faintly visible through the luminous body is held by a slightly thin hand.

Cheng Yun remembered that there was also a waist knife of similar shape in the Ming and Qing dynasties in ancient China, which was shaped like a wild goose, so it was called a wild goose knife. It is a knife type that has been born with the development of the times and the progress of cold weapon technology, and it is also the last peak of China's cold weapons, and this knife is too similar to the Yanling knife-

If there are geese in the other world, the other world also saw the wild goose and made this knife, and this knife should also be called the wild goose knife!

And it can also be seen from this knife that the owner of the knife doesn't seem to be a good stubble, at least not like a highly educated white-collar worker, otaku or something.

Because the knife is not only snowy, but also has many chips and worn, and the depressions and blood grooves are a layer of black stains, it is obvious that the owner of the knife is not using it as a decoration or just for self-defense. With this, Cheng Yun seems to have been able to imagine the bloody battles and fierce battles that this knife has experienced, and it must be constant slashing and collision to destroy and wear this knife into such a shape.

Before he could continue to think about it, the scabbard and blade suddenly retracted, and then one foot stepped over!

This time, the owner of the knife seemed to be extremely decisive, and in the blink of an eye, a figure wearing Ge Mai clothes with a narrow scar on his face appeared in front of Cheng Yun's eyes.

There are breasts, and the bulging bags are not small!

Cheng Yun was stunned, this ...... Is it a woman?

Then I saw the woman holding the scabbard in one hand and the long knife of Yanling in the other, which made people feel that her whole body was full of danger. And when she came to this space to see such a scene, she was also a little stunned, and after a while, her eyes quickly became gloomy, staring at the two strangers in front of her.

The murderous opportunity is complete, and the murderous spirit is released!

Cheng Yun couldn't help but feel a chill, only to feel that there should be a special effect of rolling blood churning behind her.

"Shhh

He took a deep breath.

But the old man seemed to have relaxed a lot.
