Chapter Twenty-Nine: A World Without Stars
※The lacquer tube is unpalatable, Chongyang Huai swallowed the sticky porridge in the bowl and then walked out of the small room with the empty bowl, looking for a place to clean it.
The first step in returning to the original world is to adapt to the current environment as soon as possible, and instead of thinking about what might happen if you are thrown into the turbulence of space, it is better to start acting immediately.
It is not difficult to speculate on the question of why he was assassinated and who was the messenger, and it is even clear that the prince whom he had never met before took unusually direct and strong revenge for the death of his only son.
It depends on how Prisland and the Imperial Imperial Family deal with it, and Chongyang doesn't want to guess the various games that those big names will have around this incident. The dead have no right to speak, and it is better for him to fight for justice. Revenge or revenge must be returned, and with a stronger force than the current one!
"Helen I'm sorry, I just promised to be with you, but this kind of thing happened" But just wait a little longer, it won't be too long. It won't be long,"
Chongyang thinks of his fiancée, who is separated by two lifetimes, and feels that the guilt of failing to live up to the beauty is much heavier than the hatred of the assassin or the worry about the development of events.
Because of the Three Kingdoms Conference, he has already left Yiqin for more than a month, but he didn't expect that less than a month after returning to the net, he was isolated from the world again, how can he be embarrassed.
To the south of the town Chloe's house lived in one, and the news of the outsiders soon spread throughout the town of Morromok. Spread the word. The townsfolk of good deeds talk about this strange, suspicious, and strange injured wanderer.
Some say that when they first saw him on the streets of the town, he had an exaggerated bandage on his head. He was wearing strange clothes that he had never seen before, and he looked here and there, as if he was observing something, or maybe he was just just idle.
"He is supposed to be a marching thief, who was wounded by a dagger that he missed in a theft, and who fled here and still has a bad habit of snooping around and preparing to steal. The meat seller sharpened the pig-killing knife in his hand, and said it in a chiseled manner.
"If I were a sheriff, I would have grabbed this kid and thrown him in jail and sent one. Whoever goes to the neighboring town and asks will definitely get the news. ”
This view was echoed by many people, most of whom told their families to close their doors and windows and pay attention to the embankment when they returned that day. But it also drew the scorn of some of the more well-informed townspeople.
"Who doesn't know how respectful Jacken, the sheriff of Morro, is to Sister Chloe? If it's really a thief, can he survive in Sister Chloe's house today?"
A young man in the town square who was swordsmanship with his companion said, and when Chloe's name was mentioned, his tone and eyes were respectful.
Words like these rang out all over town, but not for long. The fresh curiosity that the mysterious wanderer initially aroused was naturally forgotten by the townsfolk as no further circumstances arose.
This was also the effect that Chongyang deliberately pursued, when he left his residence for the first time to go to a more lively town. After attracting too much attention because of his dress and manners, he managed to ask the charter wife, "No." It was Chloe, a master of swordsmanship, who asked for a proper ordinary dress.
Over time, he learned as much as he could about the language of the world, figuring out where he was and the social context he was in.
According to the information he learned from Dangpin, he made some summaries.
Basically. This is a world where swords are honored, and swordsmanship is the most powerful and noble here. As the strongest force and the main core of civilization, the status of swordsmanship and swordsmanship is similar to that of magic and magician in the Great World.
The specific history of development is not clear, but in the minds of all people, the nobility and strength of swordsmanship are taken for granted. And in fact, it is true, only those who practice swordsmanship can have the best power in this world. No other form of weapon can reach the heights that can be achieved by the evil arts.
Swordsmen are the most respected beings, and there are various categories and high and low levels similar to magicians within swordsmans, and the degree of respect is also linked to the level.
Even children know that the division of swordsmen from weak to strong is Sword Master, Sword Master, Sword Sect, and Sword Master. And the highest-ranking character in the entire town of Morromok is Chloe, a female swordsman who has returned from the frontline battlefield.
This lady with the mark of brutal war on her face cut down the entire security team on the first day of her return to Moro Town, and the strongest sheriff who was the leader, a fifth-class swordsman named Jaken, did not survive two moves in front of her sword.
From now on. The entire vigilante of Morromok became Chloe's younger brother, and although she did not seem to approve of it herself, the title "eldest sister" was spread throughout the town by the vigilantes.
Strength brings awe, and prestige above awe is Chloe's charisma.
She herself has no desire to dominate the entire town, but as the only swordsman in the town, she has done all kinds of things very popular with the people, such as crusading against fierce beasts that endanger the safety of the townspeople, and teaching young people in the town who are eager to learn swords.
As for why Chloe, who could have lived a better life, has gone into hiding, she herself has not said it, and no one else knows. And before she went into hiding, she was an officer in the front-line army of Tianlan Kingdom.
The Tianlan Kingdom is one of the world's continental powers, and it is in a fierce war with another power
。
Although the town of Morromok was not affected by the war, the effects of the war gradually spread to this point. The specter of rising taxes and conscription looms closer.
The reason for the war was the common territorial dispute, but according to people's legends, the real root cause was that the Tianlan Kingdom "was born with a second holy sword, gained great power, and was ambitious to conquer the continent before launching this great war."
At the beginning of the war, Tianlan**, who seized the opportunity, was like a bamboo, but soon encountered extremely stubborn resistance from the other party, and the situation became more and more fierce until now.
As the key to warfare in folk cognition, the "holy sword" is said to be the strongest sword that has been handed down from this continent for a long time, with a total of five swords, each containing five supreme powers.
"Whoever collects the five holy swords" is the overlord of the continent. "The legend seems so far away from the history of the continent that everyone knows about it, but they can't tell when it was circulated.
Before the outbreak of the war, it was known that there was a holy sword in the inheritance of the Tianlan Kingdom, and another powerful country was the enemy country with which the Tianlan Kingdom was now fiercely fighting. The Xindan country also has a handful. The establishment and development of the two great powers are closely related to their respective holy swords, and it can be said that the two holy swords create two. A powerful nation.
The third sacred sword does not belong to any one country, but is owned by the swordsmanship holy land known as the "Sword Sacred Mountain" on the mainland. "Sword Sacred Mountain" is not a country though. But its strength is not in any way below the Tianlan Kingdom or the Xindan Kingdom, and it has the best swordsmanship inheritance, the strongest sword moves, and the most noble sword master.
Besides. The other two holy swords were lost, and a common dream of swordsmen across the continent was to find them. This wish was half fulfilled by the king of the land of Tianlan, and then this war broke out.
The power of the Holy Sword is undoubted, and the legend that collecting five Holy Swords is the overlord of the continent also has a high degree of credibility. After all, one holy sword can support a strong country, and five holy swords are absolutely invincible in the world.
After summarizing all the information he had learned so far, Chongyang became very interested in the so-called holy sword.
"I didn't expect the quest to seek the legacy of a god-level mage to find clues so easily. The "Five Holy Swords" If you don't guess wrong, they should correspond to the five types of fengshui, fire, and thunder. Chongyang guessed in his heart.
The clues are obvious, but the task is very difficult to achieve. Not to mention five, a holy sword has already caused a great battle, with his own strength, how can he get in touch with such a heavy treasure?
"I still need to know more, now that I have learned the language, the next step is to figure out the specific combat power of the swordsman in this world. ”
He squatted on it, wrote and scratched on the soil with a branch, and listed the basic levels of swordsman, swordsman, step sect, and sword master.
Due to the subtle connection between the two worlds, it is not too difficult to learn, so he can now not only cope with everyday conversations, but can even write some of the words of this world. Of course, font aesthetics are terrible by the standards of this world.
As for why I was able to study so smoothly, it was because,
"Bank. Xi'er, it's class time, come and sit down for me. ”
A woman's shout could be heard from the window of the house next to her, and then the sound of children running and kicking stools could be heard. The sound of a blackboard being erected.
in the room. The boy and girl sat upright, with books, papers, and quills in front of them, and across from them was a female swordsman sitting in front of a simple blackboard.
"Write down what you were taught last time, and then recite it ten times from beginning to end, paying attention to the few pronunciations that I said were easy to get wrong. Chloe is like a teacher, teaching her younger brothers and sisters about the culture they should know.
Chongyang, who was outside the window, stopped thinking, sneaked under the windowsill, quietly raised his head, and spied inside.
Inside, two children, named Banker and Xi'er, wrote the text and began to recite "The bird fell under the tree and was picked up by the Lou Fu" in a crisp children's voice. The black-haired youth, who tried to hide his body as much as possible, followed in the lowest voice, and at the same time lit a green mist with his fingers, drawing the shape of a single word in the void.
After a while, through the wall, he heard footsteps approaching inside, and Chongyang hurriedly dispersed the fog and looked up at the sky. Pretending to be sluggish.
Chloe's head poked out of the window, and her eyes looked down to see his seemingly boring expression.
"Carrying water?"
Chongyang nodded.
"Fertilization, done?"
Chongyang sails again
"Got the laundry?"
Heavy Block then nodded.
Chloe looked at him, thought about it, and found that she couldn't find a reason to send the man away
。
"Then be whatever you want. ”
So, the course continued.
Work every day. Studying, trying to gather information, is the daily life of Chongyang during the day. When he was alone at night, he quietly practiced and adjusted his state.
The right eye has stabilized a lot, but because he still hasn't comprehended the second round eye, it's not completely stable, so Chongyang can't use it casually, so he has to be a real one-eyed ghost honestly for the time being.
By the time your eyes settle down and you know that the situation is about the same. It's time to leave. Chongyang silently planned.
Chloe is a stern woman. Noisy Banker, quiet Xi'er, are all lovely children. Although it was a little unpleasant at first, he was still glad that he could meet this family in this world.
Maybe if we get along again, we can be accepted by this family, but he is destined to be a passerby, and this is not a place to stay for a long time.
In the lonely night, Chongyang often looks up at the sky. The night sky here is beautiful, but there are no stars, which proves that this place is definitely not the original world.
A world without a starry sky, a world of swords, a strange island. How long will you need to fight here before you can go back to the Empire. What about seeing the person you miss again?
