Chapter 727: A Temporary Home
The "home" that Iskar refers to is in a canyon that is completely enclosed. Although it is very similar to the river valley home in Chu Tianjiang's memory, there are rivers and ponds, castles and cottages, and even the cliffs on the other side of the river are the same as Chu Tianjiang's memory.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang knows that this is not his home.
The entire river valley is shrouded in mass, completely cut off from the outside world, and the scenery in the distance is virtual, not real. Although this is only done to ensure safety, i.e., not to be detected by the enemy, it loses its sense of reality and appears very unreal.
On the third day after coming here, Chu Tianjiang saw the true face of "home".
In the days before that, Chu Tianjiang had been staying in the room that Iscar had arranged for him, and he could only learn about the world outside through the window that was not too big. Although Chu Tianjiang is not injured and does not need to stay quietly to recuperate, he needs to increase his strength, that is, to fuse more star cores, and this will have obvious side effects, such as being more likely to feel tired, so Chu Tianjiang needs to rest.
It's just that after three days, Iskar didn't give Chu Tianjiang many star cores, but he just adapted to the environment here.
In Iska's words, the negative effect of fusing the star core is too obvious, so it can only be done little by little, and not too much at once.
If everything is normal, it will take at least a month for Chu Tianjiang to fuse with enough star cores.
Regarding Iscar's arrangement, Chu Tianjiang didn't say much. After feeling the changes in Iska's body, Chu Tianjiang figured out a lot of things.
In a sense, the change in Iskar was also caused by him. To put it simply, although he came back, he disappointed Iskar very much, and it can even be said that he shattered Iska's hopes, so Iska's attitude towards him will be the way it is now.
Of course, Soya and Laika are no exception.
Chu Tianjiang didn't say this feeling, and there was no need for it.
In the past three days, except for sending the star core, Iska has not come, Soya and Laika have not appeared at all, and Chu Tianjiang does not know what they are doing.
It wasn't until this day that Iska took Chu Tianjiang outside after sending the star core.
Iskar walked in front, and Chu Tianjiang followed. The two did not communicate with each other in consciousness, nor did they communicate verbally, but simply walked forward on a narrow path.
Chu Tianjiang knew that Dao Iskar had something on his mind, but he didn't know how to start the topic.
Although for Chu Tianjiang, the separation was only a matter of one day, even if he had spent more than 10 million years in the wormhole space, but for Iska, it was a separation of more than 1,000 years. In order to achieve his goal, Chu Tianjiang was able to persevere, and defeated Feister with this persistence, but he knew that not everyone could persevere, maybe Iska was no exception, maybe she had given up a long time ago.
Iskar suddenly stopped, and Chu Tianjiang took two more steps before stopping behind her.
"Brother Chu......" Iska turned around and looked at Chu Tianjiang, "You can go." ”
Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, although he accurately understood the meaning of this sentence, he didn't believe that it was Iskar who said it.
"Follow this road, keep going and you'll be out of the valley. In your current state, you are able to pass through the protective barriers we have set up, and you can adapt to the outer world. Iskar paused slightly, her mood fluctuating greatly. You go, don't stay here. ”
"Is this your decision?"
Iskar didn't say anything more and handed a bag to Chu Tianjiang.
"What is this?"
"The star core can give you great superpowers."
Chu Tianjiang didn't catch the bag, although there were a lot of star cores in it.
Iskar stuffed the bag into Chu Tianjiang's hand, or in an extreme way, let Chu Tianjiang accept her gift.
For the mind control from Iska, Chu Tianjiang did not have the slightest ability to resist.
"Brother Chu, I don't want to force you to leave, but you have to leave."
"For what?" Chu Tianjiang didn't leave, he looked into Iska's eyes, trying to find something in it.
Iska's eyes were very complicated, so that Chu Tianjiang couldn't see through them at all.
"You don't need to know what the Tao is for, you just need to get out of here."
"Iska, do you think I've worked so hard to come back here just to see you?" Chu Tianjiang felt a pang in his heart, although it was only the effect of his thinking. "I said I would never leave you, so I'm back, I'm coming back."
"I know it, I remember every word you say."
"Iskar ......"
"But, you have to leave."
Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and said, "You know that I won't leave. Of course, if you want me to leave, you can do so more directly. ”
"Brother Chu......"
"Actually, you've already done that, haven't you?" Chu Tianjiang glanced at the bag in his hand. The heavy weight also made his mood even heavier.
Iska looked at Chu Tianjiang, she knew Chu Tianjiang, so she knew that Chu Tianjiang would not easily change her decision.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the city to have a look." Iskar sighed, "There are many things I haven't told you before, because you will find out sooner or later. ”
"What's the matter?" Chu Tianjiang kept up with Iska's pace.
"You've got a lot of questions since we talked last time."
Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, he did have some questions, but he had already found the answer, at least he thought that he had found the answer through other understandings.
After a short time, the two crossed the protective barrier.
It's an invisible wall, it looks transparent, but inside and outside the wall are two completely different worldly realms.
Outside the protective barrier, Chu Tianjiang had an even more bizarre feeling that his superpowers had recovered, even if only partially, and his strength was limited, which could not be compared to the past. But inside the protective barrier, he couldn't feel his superpowers at all.
"Isn't that weird?" Iskar saw Chu Tianjiang's thoughts. "Protective barriers, in fact, are used to limit our superpowers. This is also the only way for us to protect ourselves, because only by limiting our superpowers will we not be detected by the enemy. ”
"Can the enemy sense the presence of superpowers?"
Iska nodded and said, "At least in this world, any manifestation of superpowers will be discovered by the enemy, so we must limit superpowers. ”
Chu Tianjiang understood, it was precisely because of this that those hunting warriors did not have superpowers.
"Of course, we need to use some special methods to deal with the enemy and the enemy's lackeys, so we have to find ways in other ways."
"Developed weapons specifically designed to deal with the Qualitatives?"
Iska smiled and said, "Actually, those weapons are just vehicles with superpowers, and simply put, they attach the superpowers we have to the weapons. Of course, this is also one of the main functions of the Star Core, which is the superpower that can preserve various situations in a similar way to storage. ”
"This ......"
"Even the psychic who reads your memories uses this vehicle, except that his tool is not a weapon in his hand, but a star core embedded in his head. You will definitely know more about this aspect in the future, and you can't say it clearly in a few words. ”
"We have plenty of time."
"We don't!" Iska gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Chu, we know that you have experienced a lot of things, and you may have been to some places, but you shouldn't come back, you shouldn't come back to Earth. This world is no longer what you know, and this world has nothing to do with you. ”
"Iskar ......"
"I know what you're coming back for, but you should know that time can change everything."
Chu Tianjiang was silent, of course he understood this truth.
Time can not only change everything, but it can overcome everything. Even the mighty Fester is so weak in the face of time. Iska is not Feister, nor is she as powerful as Feister, the world she lives in is far more complex than the wormhole space, and what she has experienced in the past thousand years is more thrilling than a confrontation and a fight, time has changed her and fundamentally defeated her.
Obviously, this is also the reason why Iskar has become a stranger.
The question is, can Chu Tianjiang just leave?
Chu Tianjiang's return, if not all for Iskar, is at least related to them, and the current scene is definitely not what Chu Tianjiang wants to see.
After a moment of silence, Iskar spoke: "We are in the New World, and from here to the west, there is an abandoned port, and there are our men there, and they will provide you with a ship. If you want to know what to do, it's best to go to the Old World and see the place where you fought the Uma. ”
"Iska, come with me to the Old World."
"I can't go with you."
"For what?"
Iskar smiled and said, "It's not more than a thousand years ago, and I'm no longer the Iskar who needs your care and protection everywhere. I am the leader of the Freedom Defenders, I lead thousands of freedom fighters, and I am accountable to them. ”
Chu Tianjiang was silent, and he suddenly discovered that Iskar had grown up and was no longer a girl.
Iska's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
Chu Tianjiang also knew that he couldn't force Iska to leave, but he had to leave.
"Brother Chu, I'll show you something, and you'll understand." Iska seems to have made a decision, or rather wanted to end this farewell as soon as possible.
"What?"
"Come with me."
Iskar walked towards the hills not far away, his pace getting faster and faster. Chu Tianjiang followed, and found that his speed was getting faster and faster, and he finally left the ground.
