Volume II, chapters XXXVII, XXXVIII
Chapter 37: A Message from the Pan-Continent
"Hey, you know my name?" said Aluma in surprise this time. Whether it is the nickname of the Rain Witch or the name Alumati, it is only known among the humans of the pan-continent, but her surname is only known to a very small number of people. The slime in front of him suddenly cried out, could it also be a mind reader?
Aluma would run to the top of the cliff out of sheer curiosity, and she had noticed it when Shi Leiyin first looked at her, but she thought it was a passing monster or something, and she didn't care. When she was forced to kill the horse thief, Aluma found that their eyes were almost locked on her, and although there was no hostility, Aluma was still worried about whether the other party was following one of her forces. When he arrived at the cliff and saw the situation clearly, Aluma was a little relieved, a forest elf, a slime and a water spirit, although this combination was very strange, but it would definitely not be a human demon or anything like that. And when Slimin spoke, Aluma had the idea of taking it as her own demon, and a high-level slime was still very useful.
So she made a joke, and at the same time explained the magic candy ball she used, in order to ease the atmosphere and gain Shi Leiyin's favor. Unexpectedly, the other party called his name all of a sudden.
"Know my name, talking fourth-order slime, a ball of blue blue is easy to pinch, I know,
You're Shi Leiyin!" Aluma is so smart, her brain just turned, and when she thought of her contact with the Pan Continent not long ago, she immediately guessed that the slime in front of her was the slime that Charlotte had mentioned at least four times. "Didn't Charlotte say you went to the Moyun Mountains, how did you get here?"
It should be noted here that the contact between Aluma and Charlotte and the others was fixed, and at the time of the contact, Charlotte did not know what was happening in the Moyun Mountains.
"That's a long story, we met on the top of the mountain for some time, I was accidentally swept into the space-time rift, and when I woke up, I was on this continent" Shi Leiyin didn't plan to tell Aluma what happened on Moyun Mountain, after all, he was not familiar with the other party. "But how the hell did Charlotte describe me to you?" Even though it was true, Shi Leiyin still expressed dissatisfaction with the adjective 'easy to pinch'.
"Of course, it's very elastic, it feels super good when you pinch it, it's very good at talking, and it's ...... The technique is good" Aluma's face flushed slightly when she said the last sentence, making Shi Leiyin understand what she meant.
"Ahem, don't talk about this, I came from the time-controlled rift, how did you come to this continent? and how can you still have contact with that side?" Although Shi Leiyin is now heading north, his goal is always to go to the east of the continent to find a way to return to the pan-continent, and now that he has the best clue of Aluma in front of him, he naturally can't let it go.
"I?hehe......" When asked, Aluma suddenly smiled awkwardly, "I was thrown by someone with a magic array......"
Aluma was a little hesitant about his coming to this continent, but between the sentences, Shi Leiyin still figured out some things. After the Night of the Witches, several of the witches left for some personal matters, and the rest of the witches traveled around the continent on their own. It was during this aimless travels that Aluma met a strange man, a man with twelve swords, who, out of curiosity, stole several swords from the man's hand, only to be chased by the other party, and in the middle of the fight, the swords were thrown into the gap in the time control. So Aluma, who knew that she couldn't beat the other party, was branded by the other party, and used a magic array that she had never seen before to transmit to the continent where those swords fell, that is, this extreme continent, and the other party told her that as long as she found all the swords, someone would naturally take her back to the Pan Continent. So, all these years, Aluma has been traveling the extreme continent, looking for the whereabouts of those swords. As for the connection with Charlotte, it was purely when they were first separated, Charlotte made a telekinesis device that could communicate from a distance, but each time it was used, it would take a year to recharge, and the most recent use was just a few days ago.
"At most, I can only report my peace in a year" Shi Leiyin was a little disappointed, originally thinking that if he met Aluma, who was also from the Pan Continent, he could have a faster way to go back. But now Aluma himself can't return to the Pan Continent, and as for the fact that he can only contact the Pan Continent after a year, Shi Leiyin has ignored it.
"Haven't you thought about returning to the Pan Continent through other methods?" Shi Leiyin suddenly thought of a question, Aluma has been in the Extreme Continent for a long time, and he is looking for the lost sword in the entire continent, so he should know some information about returning to the Pan Continent, unless the two continents are really completely unable to communicate through normal means.
Shi Leiyin was mentally prepared for the worst, but Aluma's answer surprised him, "Well, why go back there, there is a group of people there who want me, and this continent is also fun."
Seeing that Shi Leiyin looked like he had been defeated by you, Aluma added: "If you want to go back so much,
Why don't you help me find a sword together?"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Aluma in Search of the Sword
Help Aluma retrieve the lost swords, and then use the mysterious man's agreement to return to the Pan Continent. This idea came to Shi Leiyin when he listened to Aluma tell him why he came to the Polar Continent. However, first, he could not guarantee that he would be able to return to the Pan Continent with Aluma at that time, and second, the difficulty of finding a few weapons in the entire continent was second only to finding a needle in a haystack. But with Aluma's explanation, Shrayin sees hope again.
The first point is that Aluma was also very skeptical that the other party would summon the sword back and throw himself on the other continent after he found it (at this time, Aluma did not know that he would go to the Extreme Continent). So the agreement with the other party is that when he finds those swords, he will contact the other party and hand over the swords when he returns to the Pan Continent. This means that the other party has to send at least one person back to the pan-continent, and Aluma said that he doesn't care about going back anyway, and he can give up this place to Shi Leiyin.
As for the second point, Shi Leiyin knew that before the mysterious person sent Aluma to the Extreme Continent, he gave her another sword that she had not lost, and told her that those swords had induction with each other, as long as they were in a large range, Aluma could find the general direction of the other through this sword, and this induction would stop when the two swords were close to less than one kilometer, so as long as the existence of other swords was sensed, the actual range that needed to be found was only one square kilometer, and as for Aluma who had not completed the task for so many years, it was entirely because she was attracted to this continent, After finding the two swords, he wandered around the continent with one mind and played, even if he encountered the induction of the sword, he didn't pay attention to it.
"How many swords have you lost?" Listening to Aluma's words, Shi Leiyin suddenly thought of a question, according to Aluma, she already has three swords on her body now, and there are still a few swords with sensing on the mainland, so what about those that have not been sensed?
"Ahaha...... Aluma snorted, but he couldn't see any change in Shi Leiyin's face, so he said, "...... Eight ......"
"............" Shi Leiyin felt a little dizzy in his head, according to what Aluma said before, the mysterious man had brought a total of twelve swords, he thought that at most he had lost four or five, but now it is good, a full two-thirds of the two that have been found, and there are still six swords on the mainland. And a weapon that can easily defeat the witch and then throw it to another continent is a weapon that is carried by a strong man, and if you think about it with the brains of a slime, it must not be an ordinary product, and it is better to fall directly into the ravine like the first two, if it is discovered, it is not sure that it is in the treasure trove of the national capital of any human country now. Besides, Aluma has been on this continent for several years, and even if no one finds out, it must be buried in a deep place, and the mutual induction of the sword fails within a kilometer, and if this kilometer goes underground, what is looking for is not a circle but a spherical shape......
"You can choose to find a way to return to the Pan Continent and find a sword at the same time, as long as one of the two methods is successful, isn't it?" It was Jie Liya who spoke, Shi Leiyin and Aluma had such a conversation, and she finally figured out the situation roughly, and when she saw Shi Leiyin's headache, she couldn't help but open her mouth to put forward her opinion.
"En, that's right, that's what I did before" Aluma hurriedly agreed, in fact, she had a careful thought that she didn't say, although she didn't plan to continue to look for those swords, but there was always a sense of guilt, if she could let Shi Leiyin take over this task, then she could play more at ease in the pan-continent, and she had another hot potato to throw at him, if Shi Leiyin gave up because it was too troublesome to find a sword, his wishful thinking would not work.
"How much do you know about those swords?" After thinking for a long time, Shi Leiyin finally decided to follow what Jie Liya said, while searching for those lost swords on the mainland, and at the same time inquiring about any exact way to go back to the pan continent.
"Now?"
"Any questions?"
"It's already dark......"
“..................”
After a brief exchange, Shi Leiyin took Aluma to find an abandoned beast cave, the smell of beasts in it had dissipated, but the scattered animal bones on the ground proved that the previous owner of the place was certainly not a master to be messed with.
To Shi Leiyin's surprise, Zilde is far more capable of surviving in the wild than Aluma, not only quickly collecting the materials for the fire to build a bonfire, but also catching two hares in the process of collecting materials and picking a bunch of fruits for dinner. In stark contrast to Zilde is Aluma who sits on the ground as soon as she finds the cave and screams "I'm hungry".
After dinner, Aluma, who almost had two roast rabbits in her belly, finally began to tell about the swords under the three disdainful eyes of Shi Leiyin.
