Kotohime opened her eyes, and she remembered that she was supposed to be in the underground base just now, but why was she in this forest now?

"Yukana, Reimi, where are you?" called out Kotohime, but no one answered her, and the forest she was in was completely different from the previous one, what was the situation?

Kotohime decides to leave here, but she is afraid of what if this is an illusion used by Shui Wuyue Shuyue to confuse her like before, even though Shui Wuyue Shuyue is not here now, and Kotohime doesn't know what other reason he has to do such a thing to herself.

What to do? Stay or leave?

After thinking about it for a while, Kotohime still chose to leave, and for the current situation, Kotohime wanted to find out where she was.

After walking for a long time, Kotohime didn't get out of this forest, but she found a way...... It's not an asphalt road, it's a loess road with no grass that belongs to its own world, driven out by horse-drawn carts.

Kotohime walked along the path, but she didn't know when she would be able to leave the forest.

At that moment, Kotohime saw a dark shadow appear directly in front of her, and when she looked closer, wasn't it a carriage? Why was there a carriage? How could there be horses on earth?

And even if there are horses, why are there carriages? How can anyone still ride in a carriage when automobiles are so common?

This is definitely not the Earth, at least not the Earth of the time I am in. Kotohime also wonders if this is her own prophetic dream or something, but no one has appeared since just now, so Kotohime can't verify whether this is a dream or reality.

The carriage drove towards Kotohime, who stepped out of the way. The back of the carriage was full of furs, and it seemed that the man was a traveling merchant. The groom stopped the carriage and asked, "Miss, why are you alone in this wilderness?"

What the coachman said surprised Kotohime, not because there was anything wrong with what he said, but because what he said was something that Kotohime knew, her native language, and the lingua franca of her original world, the Radian Continent and the Khaki Lamba Continent.

Since the person in front of her is speaking in her native language, doesn't that mean that this is her original world?

Kotohime asked the coachman, "I'm sorry, I'm a spirit girl...... I got lost on my trip, so what is this place?"

The coachman smiled, "This is the kingdom of Redace, and I'm about to go to Wiaipang City to do business...... By the way, you said you were a traveling spirit girl, didn't you?" he pointed to the fur on the car behind him and said, "You can also see that I am a traveling merchant who is going to do business, but the security around the city of Weiai Pang is not very good...... Bandits are rampant there, and the officers and soldiers don't take care of them, and if there are no mercenaries, they can easily be robbed. ”

Jean asked, "Then why are you going alone? Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

"Didn't I try my luck?" he said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm not a caravan, and it's too expensive to hire mercenaries, and it's pretty much the same for me." If you hire less, you can't resist robbers, and if you hire more, you won't have so much money. This is what bothers traveling merchants like us the most, and I wouldn't want to go there if it weren't for the fact that this fur was the most expensive in Wai Epang. ”

Jean nodded, she felt that this man was right, and she knew what this man was trying to say: "Do you want to hire me? Let me protect you from robbers." ”

"That's right. The coachman smiled even more happily: "Of course I won't give you any less money...... Each of those mercenaries is a gold coin, how about I give you fifteen silver coins?"

Qin Ji didn't care, she didn't care about the amount of money, but she was thinking about whether she really returned to the Khaki Lanma Continent or if it was all her dream?

Jean agreed to the merchant's request for the time being, and said, "Alright, will I protect you to the city of Weaipang? ”

"Then you're up for you...... You can sit in the back car, those furs can sit, please don't mind. ”

Kotohime turned over and got into the car, and the fur in the car looked like a fox, and there were about twenty of them.

There are some other goods besides furs, but they are all bits and pieces, and the main goods are furs.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, my name is Diego, and I'm from Redian, what about you?" the man turned back and asked Jean.

"My name is Kotohime, and I'm also Redian'......" Kotohime said, stroking the fox's fur.

Diego wondered, "Where's Redian?"

Jean didn't plan to say it, but when Diego asked, Jean had no choice but to reply, "Kamui Village." ”

Diego nodded, but after a while, he suddenly reacted, he quickly grabbed the reins and turned around and asked, "Is the village of Kamui the hometown of that great hero Langum?"

Jean had no choice but to nod, she didn't really want others to know about her relationship with her grandfather, she didn't want to be "Langum's granddaughter" forever.

"It's good, Rangrum......" said Diego enviously, "I have admired him since I was very young, but I have never had the opportunity to meet him...... Don't look at me like this, in fact, I am also the kind of person who has experienced strong winds and waves. ”

Kotohime laughed dryly, knowing that this was a harbinger that a person was about to start boasting about his glorious past.

"You know what? I've seen dragons, and they're not ordinary dragons, they're the kind of ancient dragons who can call the wind and rain and cause disasters in heaven and earth. Diego began to brag about his past to Jean-hime: "I remember that the ancient dragon's name was Kaos. ”

Originally, I just thought that this man was going to talk about boring things endlessly, but Jean actually heard Kaos's name. Kaos isn't the kind of dragon that advertises his name when he encounters a human, but why did Diego know about Kaos?

Fortunately, before Jean Ji could ask a question, Diego continued: "I remember that it was two and a half years ago...... August 15 was such an unforgettable day that I will remember it for the rest of my life. Our ship was attacked by the ancient dragon in the strait between Khaki Lamba and Redian, and I thought we were going to die there when I saw that it was a dragon, but one of my companions on the boat at the time actually repelled the ancient dragon - the mysterious man blinded the dragon with a small box that could breathe flames, isn't it?"

The corners of Kotohime's mouth twitched and said, "The human you are talking about...... It can't be called Zet, right?"

Diego was surprised, "Could it be that you know Zete?

Kotohime said vaguely: "It's just a little related...... I've heard about that, too. "Although I heard it from the ancient dragon who attacked you.

"Really, it seems that there are so many people who know about it. Diego began to be a little proud: "I have experienced other things besides this, it was also at sea, when our ship was attacked by a sea monster, do you know who saved us at that time?"

She shook her head and said, "I don't know about this, I haven't heard of it." ”

Diego said excitedly to Jean Ji, "Rhine! that Rhine of the ghost clan! he was in the same boat with me at the time!"

Jean-hime could only smile awkwardly, she didn't know if this Diego was lucky or unlucky, she was attacked twice by dragons and some sea monster, but luckily there was Zete once and Rhine on the other.

"You must think I'm lucky, don't you?" said Diego without looking back, "I also think I'm very lucky, so two years ago, after the death of the lord of Wiepon City, the new city lord took office, and the bandits around the city began to run rampant, and many merchants did not dare to come here to do business. I thought that with my luck in escaping death on the previous two occasions, I would be able to escape the robbers and make a fortune, so I converted most of my family property into merchandise to be sold in the city of Wiepon, but I met the robbers......"

The latter situation can be guessed by Diego without Diego's words, the robbers looted all of Diego's goods and money, and the bankrupt Diego used the remaining money to re-enter business, and finally had a little more assets.

But Jean couldn't figure out why Diego continued to venture to the city of Wiepong again.

Diego continued, "If it weren't for the sudden drop in the price of furs, I wouldn't have ventured to go to Wiepong City to sell my furs...... Outside of there, I'll lose money selling these furs anywhere else on the two continents, and the only way to do that is to go to Wai Epon City. Even if I encounter robbers, I can only do this. ”

Kotohime lay silently on top of the fur and said nothing, considering whether the situation was a reality or a dream. If it's a dream, it's been so long, why haven't you woken up yet?

If it is a reality, then why did she come back all of a sudden? She thinks that the things over there should not have been resolved, and the task has not been completed before it is possible?

But no matter how curious she is, there is no way for Kotohime to go back to the other side of the earth, and there is no way for her to get in touch with the people over there, so can she really just obediently return to her old life?

How could this be? Why did she have to separate like this when she and Ilona had only been in a relationship for long? She thought she could be with Ilona forever, but why did they separate like this? She couldn't even say her last goodbye, so she was separated inexplicably...... Life is really strange.

......

In the Demon King City, Dela Pei, as the next Demon King, is now busy every day for the diplomacy between the Demon Race and the human race, and she proposed to rebuild friendly relations with the human race, so the important task of establishing diplomatic relations with the human race was thrown to her by the Demon King very rashly. Although busy, although a little tired, Dela does not regret it, whenever she sees the humans coming and going in the Demon King City and the friendly communication with the demons, she feels that everything she does is valuable.

As soon as she returned to her bedroom, Della had not been lying down for two minutes, when a maid knocked on Dela door and said, "Your Royal Highness, there are people outside the palace who ask to see you, and they claim to be your friends with Your Royal Highness, Princess. The man at the head said that his name was Hayumi, and that he seemed to be a well-known adventurer on the human side. ”

Hayumi Dela immediately got up from the bed, although he and Hayumi had only been together for a short time, but Dela and Hayumi were somewhat like-minded, Hayumi liked to go on adventures everywhere, Dela also liked to listen to Hayumi tell his adventure stories before, the two had not seen each other since they parted two and a half years ago, and I don't know how Hayumi is now.

"Bring them in at once, and come to my bedroom, no need to go to the reception room. Dela ordered.

"Yes. ”

Soon after, the maid took Hayumi to Dela's bedroom.

After two and a half years of not seeing, Hayumi, who is now nearly eighteen years old, has grown into a young man in the wind of the jade tree, and his staff, which used to be half a head taller than him, is now only much taller than his shoulders. His healthy bronzed skin is a testament to the countless storms he has endured over the past two years, and as the world's number one adventurer today, Hayumi's reputation is well known to everyone, even comparable to that of the Rhine. But there was no sense of self-confidence on Hayumi's face, because of what happened two years ago, Hayumi has always been very humble and cautious.

"Dela, long time no see. Hayumi immediately smiled when he saw this old friend, he always felt that it was much easier to get along with this demon princess than those civilians.

Dela smiled, "It's been a long time since I've seen you grow so big...... Is this Eros?" Dela saw two other women behind Hayumi, one of whom was Eros, the ancient dragon, whom Dela knew.

Hayumi then remembered that he had forgotten to introduce another person because he was so happy to see his old friend, so he pulled another woman who looked to be about his age and said, "This is Aisha, my partner, and she is also a spirit girl." ”

Aisha shook off Hayumi's hand unhappily and said, "Hello, I'm Aisha. ”

A wicked smile appeared on Dela's face, and she deliberately asked Eros in a voice that everyone could hear, "Is there any interesting gossip between the two?"

Eros also laughed evilly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll tell you more when I have time." ”

Although Hayumi was a brilliant adventurer, he was not very thick-skinned, and he held back his flushed cheeks and said to the two of them: "Can you not talk about this? We finally met again, can't we say something touching......? This is the first time in two years that we will meet again. ”

Dela smiled and motioned for a few people to sit down at the table, and asked the maid to prepare snacks and tea.

"Why did you suddenly think to come to me? I heard that you two are adventuring all over the continent, and every time a human who comes to me is able to tell your rumors, it seems that you are really famous. Dela said and looked at Aisha, "I've heard your name too, but it's a pity that the two of them are too showy, and basically not many people know your name." ”

Aisha said indifferently, "Anyway, these two guys are not normal humans, and I don't plan to compare with them." "Aisha still doesn't know that Eros's true identity is a dragon.

Hayumi coughed dryly twice and said, "Actually, we just passed by here when we were on a mission this time, and then thought about coming to see how you are doing now, is the princess's life very leisurely?"

"I've just finished my work...... This is just lying down and you are here. ”

"So we're disturbing your rest?" Eros joked.

"No, no, I'm welcome that you're too late. Dela rejoiced, "I'm dying of mold in this palace, and I wish you would come and play with me." By the way, have you met Kotohime in the past two years?"

Hayumi said: "I heard that she is now on the Radian Continent, although she is also adventuring everywhere but has not registered as an adventurer, so it is difficult to find out her whereabouts. And she likes to be alone in everything, and there are not many people who know her, if she doesn't mention it herself, no one will know that she is Langum's granddaughter, and naturally no one will care about an ordinary spirit girl. The last time I saw her was three months ago. ”

Eros sighed and said, "Alas, since Zet and the others left, Jean Ji has traveled everywhere, is it that Zete and their departure have caused some psychological trauma to Qin Ji?"

"Isn't she?

"Maybe I just don't want to be famous. Hayumi said, "Why don't we finish this mission and go find Kotohime?"

"Where to find it? The world is so big, and Kotohime won't stay in one place waiting for you to find it. Eros said, rolling his eyes.

"Not necessarily, fate is a magical thing, and if we are destined to meet Kotohime again, we may meet her wherever we are. But fate has decided that if we can't see each other again, even if we pass by Kotohime, we won't find out about each other's existence. Hayumi flickered.

And at that moment, Dela's maid knocked on the door again and said, "Your Highness Princess, there is another person outside the palace who has asked to see you, and she says that her name is Jean Ji and she is your friend. ”

The four of them looked at each other, and as soon as Hayumi finished saying that, Kotohime came, and the three of them looked at Hayumi in surprise, and Hayumi smiled and said, "Fate, fate." ”

......

Jean was taken by the maid to Dela's bedroom, and when she saw that there were other people in the bedroom besides Dela, Eros's appearance was basically the same as two years ago - after all, they were dragons, and two years was as short as two days for humans for them.

And the other man and woman Qin Ji are a little strange, the bronzed skin of the young man looks a little familiar, but Qin Ji doesn't remember that she knows such a person, and the other girl also looks a little kind, but she can't remember who it is.

"Yo, Kotohime, long time no see. The boy waved at Kotohime and said, "Why did you come here?"

Jean didn't know who this person was, but after being asked, she subconsciously replied, "I'm here to borrow something from Dela." ”

"Borrow something?" the boy and Della asked curiously at the same time, "What to borrow?"

Kotohime came over and said, "That Magatama that can sense and open the 'door'. ”

Della wondered, "What are you doing with that?"

"Even though that's the case, I'm wondering if there's anything missing, or a new 'door' or something...... "Kotohime said a little anxiously, "Can you lend it to me?" ”

"Yes, yes, but...... Why are you using that? Can you tell me why?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her curiously, Jean simply told them about her experience of going to the other side of the earth, and she didn't care what the identity of the young girl was, anyway, Eros and Dera were here, and the two of them should not be ordinary people.

"I didn't expect you to be summoned to another world. The boy said to Kotohime, "So you want to go back to the world called Earth again, just to see Elona again?"

Jean said to the boy, "It's not just to see Elona...... There are other reasons, but can you tell me your name until then? ”

The young man's nose twitched, and he pointed at himself and said, "It's me! I'm Hayumi! You forgot about me after not seeing each other for three months?"

Kotohime then remembered that the person in front of her was Hayumi, and the other one was Aisha, and her impression of the two of them somehow returned to the state she was two years ago, "I'm sorry, I may have some nervous problems from staying in that world for a few days." ”

"I think you're crazy trying to see Elona. Hayumi sighed, "If you can't go back and see Elona, then you won't be nervous?"

Dela took the piece of Magatama from her neck that she was wearing as a pendant, handed it to Kotohime and said, "Try it and see if you can find the 'door'...... Do you know how to use this magatama?"

Kotohime shook her head and said, "I don't know, I thought you knew." ”

Dela smiled helplessly, "How can I use it? Zete will use this thing...... What to do?"

Qin Ji took the magatama and lowered her head in disbelief, she originally pinned all her hopes on Dela, but she didn't expect that even Dera wouldn't use this fast magata, doesn't that mean that she has no way to go back?

Hayumi said: "If Zet can use it, doesn't it mean that Zete's senior brother should also use it?

When Jean Ji heard this, she patted her head and said, "Oh! I forgot about it, I forgot that thing was useless for two years, and I forgot that there was still this way." Dela, borrow it from the back garden of your palace, and I'll use the summoning array. ”

So a group of people came to the back garden of the palace, and Kotohime piled up stones to make the summoning array, even if it was only used twice, even if it had not been drawn for two years, Kotohime still completed the summoning array according to memory.

Hayumi on the side has already helped Kotohime light a bonfire, and Kotohime begins the summoning ceremony.

The flames in the summoning array converged into a circle in the center, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning slashed down and directly slashed into the circle, and then a pillar of light erupted from the circle and shot straight into the sky, scattering the dark clouds.

Although it was the second time he had seen this scene, Hayumi still felt shocked, this summoning array was really imposing.

When the light dissipated, no one appeared in the circle as Kotohime had expected, and the summoning failed.

"Why?" Qin Ji wondered, "Why did it fail? Is it the wrong summoning array?"

"No, the summoning was a success. When Kotohime heard this, she only saw that the scene around her suddenly changed, and she was now in a snow-white world.

Jean quickly turned around, and the person behind her was none other than Zet's teacher, her ancestor, Gushuo Starr.

Seeing Gu Shuo appear, Qin Ji hurriedly asked, "What's going on?Why did I come back suddenly?What's wrong with that world now?What is the situation with Elona?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, young man, don't be so grumpy. Gu Shuo smiled: "The world over there will continue according to the story over there, but your mission has been completed, so you are back." ”

"What do you mean that my mission is complete?" Qin Ji said unhappily when she heard this: "I was inexplicably sent over there by you, lived an inexplicable life for a month, and finally came back inexplicably without doing anything...... What is my mission? Didn't you ask me to help you save the humans of that world? Now I don't know if they're dead or alive, so you say I'm done, can you give me an explanation?"

Gu Shuo gently patted Qin Ji on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your mission is over...... There's no reason for you to continue to exist over there. As for the explanation...... I really can't explain this to you, what do I have to say...... Actually, I just gave you a chance to meet Ilona, do you believe it?"

Kotohime questioned, "Who are you fooling? Would you be so kind?"

"Anyway, I'm also your ancestor, aren't I?" Gu Shuo smiled, "Didn't you notice that you didn't do anything after you ......went there? Confession. Actually, what I said was using you, I knew you would want to save those earthlings, but Ilona didn't have that kind of intention, so I sent you over, in order to use you to stimulate Ilona and make Ilona willing to save that world. From the very beginning, your mission was not to save the earthlings, your mission was to stimulate Ilona, so now that Ilona is about to save the earthlings, your mission is complete. You can't interfere too deeply with that world if it's not that world, have you forgotten that? As a god who maintains order, how could I possibly let you do something that affects order?"

Qin Ji understood, it turned out that she was Gu Shuo's pawn from the beginning, and her role was a medicine primer at the beginning. But since this is the case, Qin Ji can only give up, she knows that this is Gu Shuo's plan, and she has no way to resist.

Seeing Qin Ji's look of loss, Gu Shuo said again: "Don't be so discouraged, I admit that I took advantage of you, but this is also helpless, besides, didn't I give you benefits?"

Jean asked, "What benefits, have you given me any benefits?"

"Isn't that a good experience for you during that time on Earth?" Gu Shuo smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think Sun Yuan would teach you to predict dreams for no reason? It's not that I asked him to do it, and when you passed on Zete's power to Ilona, there was actually another way to pass it on to Elona without contact, why did I let you kiss Elona? Why don't you know that I am so well-intentioned?"

"That's really thanks to you!" "Qin Ji was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, "Thank you for your good intentions!"

Kotohime slapped Gu Shuo's hand away and asked, "So now Ilona have they settled the matter over there, will something happen, can you tell me?"

Gu Shuo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, the matter over there has been resolved, and I am very satisfied...... It's just that I'm going to tell you one thing, your karma will continue, so you will still have a chance to meet again in the future. ”

"Really?!" Ginhime excitedly pulled Zete and asked, "Can we really meet again?"

"This ...... Confidentiality for the time being. Gu Shuo smiled mysteriously and said, "But there is another option here, so that you can be with Ilona forever and never again, and you will not be separated again." ”

Kotohime asked excitedly, "What choice? What should I do?"

Gu Shuo opened his palm, and a robe appeared in his palm, which was the kind of robe that Zet and Sun Yuan usually wore on their bodies, and Gu Shuo said, "Become my student." You know? Originally, one of my students was supposed to be your grandfather, Langum's, but he rejected me because he didn't want to part with your grandmother. Now, I want you to take his place, become my student, and then become the god who controls the space. It's different from your grandfather's time, if your grandfather said yes, I won't be able to be with your grandma, but you can only be with Elona forever if you promise me, how about it?"

Qin Ji looked at the robe in Gu Shuo's hand, this is indeed very tempting for her, as long as she agrees to Gu Shuo, she can have endless life like Zete and them, be able to stay young forever, get great power, and most importantly, be able to be with Ilona forever.

What should I do?Promise him!Promise him!Promise him!Qin Ji's heart was urging herself to take the robe, but her hand was unwilling to lift, as if she was resisting something, because she was unwilling to take the robe from Gu Shuo's hand.

"What's the matter? What are you worried about?" Gu Shuo leaned down and whispered in Kotohime's ear, "Take it, and put it on, then you will be my Gu Shuo Starr's student, as long as you wear it, you can be with Ilona forever, no one can separate you, no one can ......"

"No one can ...... Separate us ......" Jean-hime looked up, she looked into Gu Shuo's eyes and asked, "What about Gray Berry Starr?"

Gu Shuo's expression froze, and he instantly returned to his original smile and said, "She won't be idle to break up the ...... of the two of you."

"But she has that ability, right?" said Kotohime, "so what you said is not absolutely correct, even if you become your student, someone can still find a way to separate us - you are lying to me." ”

Gu Shuo reluctantly corrected, "Okay, okay, I'll say it again - no one but Gray Berry Starr can separate you. And I promise Gray Lee Starr won't be interested in you. ”

Kotohime took a few steps back and said, "It's tempting, but I refuse." I know there are many benefits to being your student, and I know you shouldn't hurt me, but ...... Can you tell me why you have to make me your student? ”

Gu Shuo saw that there was no trace of hesitation in Qin Ji's eyes, and he had to say, "Do you want to believe it?"

"If you don't tell me, how can I believe it? Even if it's a lie, you have to tell it in a way that convinces me. Kotohime winked mischievously.

"Actually, I'm not just doing this for you, but also for Elona, and Zet......" Gu Shuo raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked up at the sky and said, "If you don't become my student, all three of you will die......"

"......" Qin Ji looked at Gu Shuo and asked, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Gu Shuo nodded: "Really, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”
