Chapter 602: Starry Sky Falls
With Pelio's farewell, Charan left the Forest of Stars alone and returned to the blizzard-stricken world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing in the vast snow-covered wilderness, in a trance, people have a kind of loneliness and independence, but unfortunately he can't see the slightest immersion in his eyes, because no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is just an illusion to hide the world's thousands of holes.
Clearing the direction, the teleportation spell activated, and in a moment, he disappeared into the vast snowfield.
As time went on, Elderland's living conditions became more and more deteriorating, even as the floods devastated many towns and villages, killing and displacing many innocent people. But no matter how serious it is, it can't withstand the damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami caused by the rising sea level, and now Eldland's coastal cities in the low-lying plains have sunk into a raging ocean, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Eldran will be destroyed by this world-destroying heaven and earth.
There was not much time left for Xia Lan, and he had to race against time to find the location of the place of restraint before the system was destroyed, and before that, he had not been very lucky in teleporting all the way to Drohichen, at least twice he had fallen into the rolling torrent, and it was a waste of energy just to struggle to escape.
Fortunately, he left the spatial coordinates of Droshiqin, and successfully descended into a forest outside the city in the last teleportation, but the timing of his appearance was not good, who would have thought that the surrounding area of Drohiqin had already been occupied by countless gathered refugees, and as a result, as soon as he fell from the sky, he scared the surrounding refugees into a flock.
Up to now, the rule of the Heather Empire basically exists in name only, in the face of natural disasters, everything seems so small, and the dream of imperial hegemony is like a mirror, real and illusory, illusory and absurd.
Infiltrating the heavily guarded Drochin, the streets are still cold, the only difference is that the air is full of the smell of slaughter, the hour hand of the clock tower in the square points to three o'clock in the afternoon, this bright pearl known as the center of civilization is as silent as a ghost, there may be an exaggeration, but in the face of things beyond common sense, any description of bias is within the scope of reason.
Xia Lan's goal of action was very clear, almost all the way to the house at No. 223 Zibiluo Street, pushing open the unlocked door, he was suddenly stunned in place, because, the original impression of the overgrown deserted courtyard was neatly trimmed, and the dilapidated main house became magnificent, at that moment, he suspected that he had gone to the wrong door.
Squint reconfirmed the house number, and he realized that he had not made a mistake, but only the new house in front of him.
His heart tensed for a moment, could it be ...... Is he about to need to face Him?
The problem was that he was a little caught off guard by such a meeting.
With a hint of apprehension, a hint of excitement, he walked through the courtyard and into the main house.
Result –
The room was empty.
Xia Lan, who had returned to the living room after a circle, sat on the brand new sofa with a self-deprecating smile, it seemed that he had made himself amorous.
"I know you're here, even, you're probably sitting across from me looking at my jokes, right?"
Xia Lan propped her chin in her hands, her eyes looked at the empty sofa opposite, like a mentally disturbed patient talking to herself.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find them soon, and I'm sure you won't let me down then."
"At the beginning of my deduced true face of you, I had a lot of speculation in my heart, but speculation is always speculation, everything is just my imagination without confirmation, I know very well my psychological state, I am not crazy, and I also know what kind of fate you may end up with, in the history of mankind, there are always some arrogant people who shout that people will conquer the sky or go against the sky, but in fact, these words are just self-deception and comfort, those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die, This answer has been given for a long time, but in the end, why would so many people choose to fight against the heavens stupidly? Because they feel it's unfair, because they want to be free...... But the result? They were all dead. ”
"To put it in my heart, if I had the chance, I would definitely kill you, you are using me, why don't I want to get a chance to kill you? Even if I know the chances of killing you are slim to none, if you were to ask me why, I'm afraid you know best. ”
"If you want me to help you find them, perhaps, you also need to pay some price, for example, sharpen my butcher's knife that intends to cut off your dog's head, it will be mutually beneficial, otherwise, with my current ability, it will probably take a lot of time to find them, and you don't want to wait too long, right? Or is it true? You can't wait? Who knows......"
Babbled and said a lot of words, there are true feelings, there are falsehoods, there are temptations, there are paralysis, no matter whether there is a result or not, after venting, my heart will always be more comfortable.
Xia Lan rested in the house for one night, and the next day he cleaned up the furniture and objects placed in the living room, and carved a magic circle on the open ground, which was related to the connection between him and the surface when he traveled through the starry sky, and at the same time could give energy replenishment when necessary, so as not to die in the starry sky in the event of an accident.
Everything was ready, Xia Lan stood in the center of the circle and closed his eyes in meditation, his condensed perception broke through the gloomy sky, locked on to the position of the star of the goddess Laxis, and for a long time, as the light of the circle lit up, his figure disappeared.
Wandering in the stars may sound like a thrilling and fun thing to do, but in fact few people can tolerate a long stay in the starry sky, provided that you have the ability to travel through the stars.
The boundless darkness, the dead vacuum, the absolute cold temperature, and all kinds of harsh environments all reflect the danger of the starry sky, but in front of the inhuman Xia Lan, the above problems can be ignored, and all he needs to consider is the specific whereabouts of the restrained land and the strength to support him to travel through the starry sky.
The vastness of the starry sky can only be truly understood after seeing it in person, and this time Xia Lan, who tried to cross the starry sky, only stayed for less than half an hour before teleporting back to the magic circle on the surface, the reason is very simple, he is lost.
The shuttle of the body is different from the exploration of consciousness, consciousness can jump back and forth in the star map according to different traces and clues, but the body can't, only the eyes and perception can distinguish the direction in the starry sky, and in the huge starry sky, the eyesight of the eyes is limited, and the same is true for perception, before teleportation, he used perception to roughly explore the location of the star of the goddess Laxis, but as soon as he appeared in the starry sky, he immediately lost his sense of direction, no matter how much he perceived, it was in vain, and in the end he could only return with a feather.
Xia Lan was prepared for failure, but the succession of failures that followed showed that he did not underestimate the difficulty of traveling through the stars, and he had to readjust his course of action before he could learn enough lessons and take measures to deal with it.
Three weeks have passed, Xia Lan, who has failed hundreds of times, has no intention of paying attention to the disturbances of the outside world, he is unkempt and standing by the wall, holding a pen in his hand and constantly writing obscure things on the wall, his miserable white face is full of focused and devoted looks, sometimes muttering in his mouth, and sometimes falling into a terrifying state of madness.
His patience has always been very good, but no matter how good his patience is, when he encounters a problem that must and cannot be solved, the exhaustion of patience is a small matter, and the problem is not solved for a long time, and it is easy to cause mental pathology in the long run.
"Bang-"
At some point, the door was slammed open, and seven or eight ragged men broke in in an instant.
"Search for me! Don't let go of a grain that you can turn over in the house! ”
At the entrance, a rough voice was giving orders.
"Boss, the people in the living room."
"What?"
"There's a beggar maniac who writes and draws on the walls!"
"Didn't you say that there was a young lady living here? Where did the beggar madman you call come from? ”
As he spoke, a burly man came to the living room under the leadership of his subordinates, and saw Xia Lan who was immersed in calculating and not caring about external objects by the wall.
"Shhh The burly man glanced at Xia Lan's dazzling masterpiece on the wall, the magic circle of unknown meaning on the ground, and then at Xia Lan, who had no distractions, and suddenly gasped.
"Boss! Do you want to teach him a lesson? The subordinate beside him said eagerly.
"No need, everyone is in distress, why bother each other, not to mention that the other party is still a madman!" The burly man waved his hand.
In a moment, the people who were rummaging around the house also gathered back in the living room.
"Boss, I've searched the house here and found no food."
"Boss, so is my side!"
"And my place, the kitchen is covered with cobwebs, and the storage room is clean enough to run mice!"
"Boss, who is this man?"
After his subordinates finished talking, the burly man waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Someone here has already come one step ahead of us, let's go find the next one! ”
"Wait!"
As they left, Xia Lan, who was immersed in scribbling on the wall, turned around, and he looked at the group of people who had rushed in with a blank face, and waited for the burly man led by the other party to turn around before he said slowly.
"What's going on out there now?"
"As you can see, Droshichen is in disarray, and the guards in the city are no longer able to suppress the citizens of the food shortage."
The burly man shrugged his shoulders and didn't seem to care about having a normal conversation with a madman.
"What else?"
"Countless refugees gathered outside the city are constantly pounding on the gates of Droshichen, as if the flood has spread outside Drohichen!" The burly man said.
"I see, you can go." Xia Lan nodded and said politely.
"Gotcha! You kid pay attention, too! ”
The burly man waved his hand casually, and then left with his men without saying a word.
Is it running out of time?
Xia Lan muttered in his mouth.
But I've also figured out how to get to the Star of Goddess Laxis.
The next moment, the ground circle lit up, and a thick red beam of light shot straight into the sky from above the mansion, instantly tearing through the layers of clouds pouring heavy rain.
