01 Man-in-the-middle attack

Kolotia remembers the moment she made this decision. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Really...... Don't think about it anymore? There are plenty of other jobs to choose from...... It's not impossible to stay here. ”

"Ah...... Confirmed. After all, I don't have a home to go back to now, so when I think about it, I think it's better to go on a trip. Kolotia replied with a slight nod.

As the "helper" chosen by the shadow, Kolotia's state at this time can already be defined as "force majeure at work". Therefore, the "Time and Space Administration" should be held accountable for this. As a result, Kolotia, whose physical and spiritual qualities have reached the standard, can choose to "apply to live a normal life in a certain world", or choose to join the "Time and Space Authority" and work for the "Time and Space Administration".

Kolotia chose the latter as Shadow wished, but to Shadow's surprise, she chose the "expatriate" job. It can be seen that his boss seems to be a little depressed because of this.

But it didn't stop her.

Why did you choose to travel? Kolotia herself didn't quite know why she had made her choice, and maybe she didn't have any reason at all.

Looking at the town not far away, the purple-haired girl shook her head slightly.

The so-called Temporal Authority does not manage things limited to "planes", but "worlds" - and most worlds do not necessarily welcome their management. That's right, for most of the "worlds under the management of the Temporal Authority", the "Temporal Authority" is actually an uninvited outsider, and not necessarily a popular character.

Colonia's chosen job is to travel through the worlds and mark "record points" for the Temporal Authority. In order for the Temporal Authority to interfere and manage this world in the future. As for the way to travel through the worlds......

Take advantage of the prayers of the local natives.

A sincere prayer is a request, and when there is a request, it is allowed to be answered, and this is the rule that most of these worlds follow, and it is also a mechanism by which they protect themselves. Without a request, no response is allowed, and the "outside of the world" cannot interfere with the "inside of the world".

The Temporal Authority's interference in a world is to intercept a request, and use special techniques to pretend to respond to it, and then build the connection between the inside and the outside. A soul that is too strong will arouse the suspicion of the world, and a soul that is too weak will not be able to achieve its goal, and must have a soul of moderate strength and adaptability and resilience - this job is actually just the right place for Kolotia. In a way, Kolotia's identity is a bit like a Trojan virus in her computer - though she doesn't like that either.

A little guilty of being an intruder, Kolotia shook her head at the thought of this.

Hawkers, forget it, it's better not to think too much about this kind of thing. Sooner or later, you can know what you should know, and you shouldn't know...... Well, I'm not interested in it for the time being. Kolotia is now interested in the "travel" itself.

"Well, it's almost there......"

Follow the road outside the city and soon reach your destination. It seemed to be a peaceful town, with no walls, no guards in leather armor and iron swords on the roads, and although there was a market in the center of the city, there seemed to be little traffic on the roads. For some reason, the atmosphere in the whole town was a bit dreary.

The destination of Kolotia's trip is in a residential area on the edge of town.

The small two-story stone building on the side of the street is unusually ordinary, with flags with gear patterns hanging on the outside, and the interior decoration looks like some kind of workshop.

Kolotia knew nothing about the world, and although the information collector arrived two or three days before her, it was only a simple translation. Language itself represents a culture, and it cannot be truly learned and understood if the mind cannot keep up. With Kolotia's communication skills at this time, at most she was at the same level as a teenager.

However, it is enough.

"Welcome!"

As soon as I stepped into the workshop, I heard the owner's voice greeting me. It was a girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, between Lori and a girl.

As "summoned and summoned", both sides subconsciously fluttered because of that special "induction". A large amount of common sense, knowledge of the language, and a small amount of memories belonging to the girl were poured into Kolotia's consciousness in three to five seconds.

"The ......," the girl was visibly confused by what was happening, "Did we know each other before?" ”

"No," Kolotia shook her head, "I'm a traveler from afar, and it's my first time here. ”

"It's a traveler...... No wonder purple hair is rare here...... Weird, what happened to me just now......" The girl stared at her fingers and muttered, but it didn't take long to realize her faux pas: "Ah, nothing. Please choose whatever you want, although my things may not be better than those in the big city, but they are all made by my father seriously and guaranteed to be durable. ”

Kolotia stared into the girl's eyes.

Since Kolotia was summoned by the girl's prayer, she naturally knew what the girl's wish was. That's a very simple phrase:

Save my father.

"Where is your father? Generally speaking, when selling things in the workshop, you need to make some adjustments according to the user, so it shouldn't be a child watching the store, right? Kolotia asked, narrowing her eyes and pretending to be slightly dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about this, don't look at me a little younger, but I also studied with my father for five or six years. At least a simple adjustment of this level of work has been done. ”

The girl's mental qualities were better than Colotia had expected - even though she was nervous on the inside, she was still able to appear very calm on the surface.

But that's not what Kolotia wants.

"Hmm...... Can you let me meet your father? I have something that I want to customize. Colotia said, pulling out a small piece of gold—though there was no local paper money or coinage, there were no restrictions on the direct trade of gold in this world, at least not in such small towns.

Unsurprisingly, the girl showed a look of embarrassment: "Father, he is not very convenient now......"

"Is he sick?" Thinking of what the girl had prayed before, Kolotia asked bluntly.

Although traveling through the world has made Kolotia's original feelings and ability to interfere with the will of others less useful, it can still be useful within certain limits. What's more, there is also the bonus of the relationship between the two of them "summoned and summoned".

The girl, who was unconsciously affected by Kolotia's spell, showed a very painful expression.

"I'm actually a traveling doctor, can you let me see it? Maybe you can help...... ”

However, the girl just shook her head with a pale expression.

"Impossible."

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

"So...... Please don't tell anyone else......"
