Chapter 36: Eternal Blood, A World of Light (I)

The sun is shining.

Under the arrangement of the intermediary Monsieur Arsène, the meeting place between the girl and the mysterious guest was set in the pure white city, on the "cloud viewing platform" near a city wall. This wall runs parallel to the sea of clouds, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come here every day to enjoy the sea of clouds. After Speaker Nicholas declared war on the French powers, the number of tourists suddenly decreased a lot, but in the early morning and dusk, many locals can still be seen relaxing in the distance.

However, the girl did not meet the person she was looking for......

Today's girls wear simple aqua blue dresses with black stockings and small light brown leather boots, which is a readily visible outfit in the capital of the French state. Rao is like this, and there are still a few young people passing by who give her "attention" looks. After a while, the girl had already coaxed away the two accosters.

Just as the girl was waiting impatiently, a boy about ten years old in a black shirt ran up to her out of breath.

"Are you Miss Victoria, please?"

"I am."

"I'm here to tell you: the place where I met you has changed. We hope you head to the alleys near the La Mantasenis family house. ”

"Good. Who sent you? ”

"A gentleman I don't know."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I understand. Well, this is for you. The girl threw the boy two copper coins.

The guy who was suspected to be another traverser was cautious, very cunning, maybe a lover of detective films, the girl thought sullenly. If the girl can mobilize more manpower, she has the confidence to pull the other party out.

But now, at a time when people regard themselves as "the soul split from the ancestral secret method of the Douglas family", the girl can only rely on herself......

"All of a sudden, they were sent to the other side of the city. You'll take me out of the city in the end...... Anyway. Whatever tricks you have, I'll take it with dignity. ”

If you were an ordinary girl, you would have been miserable for running such a long way. The girl is a secret warrior with a "perfect body", and her endurance is amazing, but she doesn't care about this distance.

……

Around noon.

In a small town on the outskirts of the White City.

The townspeople insist that the riverside town's history is as old as the pure white city itself. Once upon a time, it was a transit point for grain and vegetables throughout the Tellersal District, but as more satellite towns sprang up around the White City, it became unremarkable.

But in recent days, the town has seen a resurgence of visitors. The last thing the town lacks is abandoned warehouses. In order to stock up on supplies that had been flocked to the White City from far and wide, these old warehouses were repurposed. Everywhere you look, you can see busy men and women. The townspeople, young and old, joined the porters – three times as much as usual!

"The security is really lax." The girl muttered to herself as she passed by several middle-aged soldiers who were talking loudly. They were discussing whether they would be sent to the front line, and the girl looked at the cargo ships and ox carts that came and went for a long time, and no one noticed her.

That's right, too. This is the heart of the French state, and no one is worried about robbers. But the enemy's spies should always be on the lookout, right? No matter how you say it, you are also a guest general of the French country, and you really have to find a way to rectify it when you look back......

The girl walked in the direction of the town square. The usually lively town square was empty at this time. The other party has changed the agreed meeting place four or five times, and the girl estimates that this is almost the last time.

The maiden walked to the back wall of the church. A black package caught her eye.

[Xiaowei, detect magic. Although the girl can also perform the arcane magic of "detection magic", she still decides to leave this job to Xiaowei, who is more experienced in spellcasting.

[Magic items of the illusion system.] It's not like a dangerous good. Probably some kind of communication device. Xiaowei replied.

The girl nodded. She opened the package. The package contained only a dark red magic scroll.

In the end, I didn't want to show up, but chose this method of communication. Cowardly guys. The girl muttered.

She was a little disappointed: if it was other permanent magic items, she and Xiaowei should be able to see some clues in the craftsmanship of the items, and even ask Goth, an expert in magic items, for advice. A single scroll that can only be used once, and there is so little information that can be mined from it.

"Hmm......"

If the scroll is made by the opponent, it means that the opponent is a mage, or a character who can easily reach and direct the caster. In any case, it seems that the other party is mixing well in this world.

[When and how long can we communicate?] The girl asked.

[This is a special scroll that can be used by ordinary people, and the communication range is ...... It's about ten miles in a radius,] Xiao Wei said with certainty, [The effect of the spell is two-way communication, so it ...... Hold on for about ten minutes. 】

[Can you track the location of the other party?] 】

[Too little time......]

[If we continuously input mental power, can we extend the communication time?] I could keep talking to him. 】

[I'm afraid it won't last long,] Xiao Wei said, [The special spell casting materials used to make the scroll won't be able to hold up. 】

In fact, this kind of thing doesn't need Xiaowei to say, and the girl knows it.

[It's a guy who needs extra patience.] Well, let's hear what he has to say. 】

……

Across the Sword River.

Hotels near the pier.

Wei Zheng sat in a chair and closed his eyes. He asked for a room alone. Fearing that the girl would bring more people, he guided the girl to go around a few more circles around the pure white city. However, the girl ended up coming alone.

"Sure enough, it's the same type of guy as me......"

In Wei's heart, traversers and traversers are also different.

Some people are full of thoughts about going home, and some people want to find a lifelong partner in a different world. If he met this kind of person who had no ambition, Wei would be easy.

But the "bright world" of the empire? Although she is a woman, she is also a famous warrior! is destined to become a legendary secret warrior, a terrifying existence. Will this kind of person be a little girl who is content with the status quo? No kidding!

I heard a little rumor about her and the Crown Prince. I don't know if this rumor is true. Maybe all this was her plan, Wei thought, the empire was just the object of her exploitation. Perhaps her real purpose is to one day override the future emperor of the empire and become the true ruler of the empire.

There is only one point that Wei is not sure of. Victoria Douglas is 100% indigenous to this world. Is the other party only conscious attached to Miss Douglas? But my whole body came to this world. When did the other party enter Miss Douglas's body?

"Huh. I'd rather be possessed by someone else than be a half-traveler with a memory deficit. I don't know if she still retains the same 'eternal blood' as I do. ”

Wei shook his head, throwing the messy thoughts aside. He could feel that the scroll on the other side had been activated. Both parties can start talking at any time.

Finally, it's the most critical moment......

Wei took a deep breath.

He connected to the spell communication.

The other party did not speak first. Are you waiting for him to speak first? More cautious than expected.

In this regard, Wei has long been prepared.

[Hello? 】

He said in English. Even if there is a one percent chance that the other party is not a traverser, Wei is invulnerable. Conversations between the two can be eavesdropped, and can only be kept secret in the languages of the earth.

Expect the other person to speak English......

[Hello. Nice to meet you. The reply on the other side was also in concise English.

Wei smiled.
