Chapter 40: Actually, I don't have a home
Early the next morning, Xia Han and Bai Xue set off towards the Sky Temple.
After coming to the Vermilion Bird Continent, the plot mode finally worked again, but Xia Han always felt that the style of this plot prompt was slightly different from before.
Story Mission: The Apple of the Sky Sanctuary - Complete the Scenario Reward: New Encounter
The name of this plot quest is forget it, and the reward name is also so new encounter, what new encounter? Xia Han wants to have a new encounter with the apple that fell from the sky?
[The mutation occurred because of the fusion of the illustrated book and the unicorn? 】
He couldn't help but guess if the reason for the abnormal change in the plot mode was caused by the sudden fusion of Qilin and the Illustrated Book, but the Illustrated Illustrated dialogue system was still asleep, and Xia Han couldn't ask very clearly.
The Vermilion Bird Continent is nearly six times larger than the Qilin Continent, and the terrain is more complex, so even if you leave the Chunhui Empire, you can enter the Cangji Mountain Range, but it will take several days to ride in a carriage.
Taking advantage of this time, Xia Han made up for the knowledge of the Sky Sanctuary to Bai Xue.
There are six human kingdoms in the Vermilion Bird Continent, three of which are separated by the same mountain range as the Magic Empire. The name of the mountain range is Cangji, which can be seen as the Kunlun Mountains of another world.
The long mountain range nearly completely separates the elves from the humans, and the city of mages created by the elves and humans: the Sky Sanctuary flies over the unowned Ridge Mountains and soars back and forth with the seasons.
It does not belong to any country or race, it is the masterpiece of mages, the city of miracles, and it relies on great power to read the world - but it is a pity that the Sky Temple is too arrogant, and only mages have lived in it for a long time.
Other professions and ordinary people who are not gifted cannot stay for long.
This is also the reason why Bai Xue wants to dress up as a maid, and she can only stay in the Sky Temple by clinging to Xia Han, who is a thief.
"That city has a contempt for anyone other than mages." When introducing it to Xia Han, Bai Xue was very annoying about this. The other professions have different academies, but they don't have the domineering power of mages, nor do they have the power to build cities from the world.
"So as long as you are a mage, you can enter the Sky Temple and live?"
Xia Han thought that it would not be that simple, and that some of the mage's powers were particularly disgusting—especially the temptation of the human heart and soul. He had come to the Vermilion Bird Continent and encountered the psychological monitoring of magic, and if he hadn't been trained strong enough by Wujing, everything would have leaked out a long time ago.
"For thousands of years, there hasn't been a single internal war in the temple, and although it's easy to get in, it's hard to participate in politics" Bai Xue shook her head and didn't continue, but she continued to comfort: "We'll definitely be able to go in, little one"
She pointed to Xia Han's head: "If you reach the fourth order at the age of nine, you will be very popular, that city has special treatment for talents, even if you are a murderer, you can enter - as long as you don't do evil to the temple." ”
The Sky Sanctuary is a paradise dedicated to the study of magic, and without causing trouble to itself, any mage is welcome.
Free, powerful, detached from the world.
Xia Han suddenly found that it was the ideal place for him, not only safe, but also for him to learn the essence of a mage.
Seven days later, Xia Han and Bai Xue came to the outside of the Cangji Mountains, which was also the border of the Chunhui Empire.
What appeared in front of Xia Han's eyes was a spectacular scene of thousands of mountains and mountains, with undulating peaks and peaks, overlapping and surrounding, and the emerald peaks rising and falling one after another. Even in the distance, you can still see the towering peaks on the other side of the vast sea of clouds.
The whole ridge is like a mountain world, and it belongs to the mage.
"Can I ask"
Xia Han glanced at the mountain peaks in the distance: "I don't seem to see the road, how can we get to the Sky Temple?" ”
He looked from left to right, but found no shadow of the road, only pristine mountains, mountains, and mountains in front of him
"It's very simple, just take a merchant ship." Bai Xue said casually.
Merchant vessel? Xia Han almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and that he was going to go to the Sky Temple by water?
He followed Bai Xue into the border city with doubts, and almost stared out of his eyes - there was a wooden boat dozens of meters long suspended in the air in front of him, and pieces of white sails bulged and shone with crystal light.
What kind of merchant ship is this, this is a spaceship!
"Sister Bai Xue, how much does this ship cost." Xia Han looked at the wooden boat and drooled.
"No amount of money can buy it, and there are only three or four such ships in the whole world." Bai Xue smiled bitterly: "This kind of flying ship can be done by those monsters of the Sky Temple, and ordinary people can't afford to take it." ”
She took out the money bag from her body in pain: "I have saved it for a few years, I don't know if it is enough." ”
Bai Xue pulled Xia Han to buy a ticket, the boat only went back and forth once a week, and they happened to be on the day of departure. The ferry ticket for two people cost Bai Xue dozens of gold coins, an amount that is difficult for ordinary people to earn for more than ten years.
[The world of local tyrants. 】
Xia Han's first impression of the Sky Sanctuary was fixed in this way.
The merchant ship departed in the evening, and Bai Xue left Xia Han in place and didn't know what to do, so he came back with a package on his back before sailing.
When they got on the boat, the two mages went straight up with a dozen children without going through the ticket check.
"It's not fair!" Snow yelled.
"Mages don't need a ticket." The human boy who checked the ticket explained to Bai Xue that the mage had the right to live in the Sky Temple, and that they did not have to pay for the ticket when they brought the outside world to find a gifted child.
"Little one!" As soon as Bai Xue heard this, she immediately put Xia Han on her chest: "You see that this kid is also a mage, quickly return a person's ticket." ”
Xia Han snapped his fingers cooperatively, creating several ice cubes in the air.
"I'm sorry." But the young man refused: "Without the guidance of the Templars, we have no preferential treatment for other mages. ”
"What a fallacious reasoning!"
Bai Xue began to argue with him, and the stalemate lasted for a long time, but she still did not ask for the money back until she left. After getting on the boat, Bai Xue looked a little unhappy, and Xia Han comforted her for a long time before she regained her spirits.
"Thank you, little one." After returning to normal, Bai Xue picked up the package and got up: "You wait a minute, I'll go back when I go." ”
With that, she left.
Xia Han stayed alone on the wide deck, and the other guests of the ship stayed in the cabin, where there was a banquet hall and rooms to rest, only Xia Han and Bai Xue did not buy tickets for the cabin.
Spring nights are already a bit cold, not to mention the strong winds that are still blowing high in the sky. Xia Han squatted on the deck in a daze, he watched the white sails raise in the wind, with the flight of the wooden ship, some gorgeous magic patterns would flash in the darkness from time to time, although the wooden ship was small, but it could make it fly into the sky - the mage was really powerful.
Xia Han has a unique love for magical means of transportation, horses and carriages are the main means of transportation in this world, but unfortunately they are not magical at all.
[It would be nice to get the manufacturing drawings]
He had already begun planning the wooden ship, and it wasn't long before the familiar voice returned.
"Little one."
Bai Xue's voice, Xia Han turned his head to look, and for a moment he thought he was looking at the wrong person.
The powder blue blouse, the long skirt with lotus leaves, and the lace edges on the cuffs and skirt are stacked, look elegant and quiet, but not as noble as the aristocratic style, this is
"How's this maid outfit?"
Bai Xue stretched out her hands and turned in a circle, and her long skirt fluttered up: "I looked for many to get it"
Under the clear night sky, the snow jumps briskly. The beauty of the curves dimmed the moonlight, and the gap between her blonde hair dancing and blue flashing in anticipation made Xia Han seem to have returned to four years ago, when he first met Bai Xue.
After so many years, she is still thrillingly beautiful.
"Very good."
Xia Han tried his best to keep his inner turmoil undetected, and he smiled: "However, it's not good to steal!" ”
Bai Xue's body stiffened.
"Aha, what are you talking about?" She stopped her movements casually, and then sat beside Xia Han with her skirt in her arms: "Little guy, you see how good the night is today." ”
[Escaped.] Xia Han couldn't help but smile, but didn't continue to investigate. He finally knew what Bai Xue was doing before he got on the boat, but in fact, Xia Han didn't care much about stealing clothes.
Bai Xue was right, he also thought that the night was good. Flying in a spaceship for the first time in my life, and having such a good view - this is the first class treatment on a cruise ship in a previous life.
If you don't enjoy the scenery, it's a waste.
Xia Han looked up at the sky with quiet and pleasant eyes, and although the cold wind was a little cold, he didn't hate it
"Little one, are you homesick?"
After more than half an hour, Bai Xue suddenly asked.
Xia Han frowned: "I don't have a home" He turned his head, but he didn't expect to find a pair of eyes containing emotion.
"Poor little fellow!"
A strong attack came, and Xia Han was inexplicably hugged by Bai Xue in his arms: "Don't be alone, don't look at the sky like this, my heart hurts." ”
It is said that looking up at the sky in the wind can easily give onlookers an illusion, and it is clear that the snow has created this illusion. She saw Xia Han's enjoyment as loneliness, and his pleasure as sadness
"Not actually"
Xia Han wanted to explain after he understood.
"Needless to say, I understand" but Bai Xue still hugged him, and her voice even became hoarse: "Actually, I don't have a home, I can understand that every time I look at the night sky, I feel sad"
[Damn, she's an orphan!] 】
Hearing Bai Xue say that, Xia Han immediately retracted the words in his mouth, he can't hit Bai Xue, right?
"So" Bai Xue gently put Xia Han on her lap, blocked the cold wind with her body, and then hugged him from behind: "Let's go find it together, one person can't do it, but if two people are two, they will definitely be able to build a home that belongs to us!" ”
"That's all you have to say."
It's cold
After a long time, Xia Han sighed: "It's up to you." ”
He suddenly discovers that Bai Xue is also an actor - and a powerful faction.
