"Well, fly in that direction, and on the way you will see a fellow of the same kind standing on a certain mountain, much bigger than you, but its body is made of stone. Beneath it there was an old man with a hammer, with a gray coat, and he gave him this piece of paper - remember not to throw it into the fire pit - and waited for me there...... Or go back to your old home. ”

I magically recorded my experiences over the past few days and the rest of my journey on a piece of paper and handed it over to the White Eagle to bring back to Xueman. I have more important things on my hands, and this trip took me more than half a month, and some people have been waiting for this for a long time, and so did I.

The White Eagle obeyed my command and flew towards the snow, and I turned the direction of my horse while communicating with my companions.

This is the first time I have seen Musk with a weapon in his hands. A green crystal ball is attached to the tip of the staff, and several spike-like pinnacles protrude from the bronze handle to enclose the crystal ball. The staff had a faint aura of antiquity and power, shining like the sun, and just looking at it made me a little overwhelmed.

"That's what you call an artifact, right?"

"Yes. This is the Staff of Magnus. ”

"Magnus?"

"He is an ancient deity, the chief architect of the Holy Spirit in the creation of the mortal realm."

Is the Holy Spirit involved in creation? I pinched my fingers and began to count.

"Akatosh, Ginareth, Akai, Dibera, Stendhal, Zenisar, Julianos, Mara," I paused, "There seems to be a ...... in the Eight Spirits. Don't have his name? ”

"Towards the end of creation, the Holy Spirits realized that creation would consume all their strength and keep them trapped in the mortal realm forever, so some of them decided to flee. As a result, the gods who fled during that change were not included in the belief system of the Eight Holy Spirits, and their status was preserved only in the traditional beliefs of the elves. Speaking of this, Musk pointed to the sky, "The sun in the sky is the passage that Magnus opened with his own hands when he fled from the mortal world to the light world. ”

I always thought that the sun in the sky was a spherical entity with constant nuclear fusion, but according to Musk, it was really just a big hole that some god broke headlong at the beginning of creation.

"Now that we're going to build a gateway between Nairn and Earth, it seems that this artifact will come in handy. By the way, how did you get your hands on this legendary artifact? ”

"Picked it up," Musk said, saying he didn't know what his luck would be, "before I moved to my new home, this artifact had been left there." ”

Well, this kind of answer is really hard to get me interested in complaining. No longer discussing the topic, I reached out to him with my left hand and motioned for him to pay attention to my little thumb.

"Is there any remedy for the missing part of the soul?"

"The size of the soul in each person is determined at the time of birth, which is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Although you come from an extraterrestrial plane, I do not find any fundamental difference in this respect from you. ”

From Musk's explanation, I probably understood his implication: the soul is a gift of the Holy Spirit and cannot regenerate itself.

"So there's no cure?"

"There is a solution, just don't get your hopes up for it."

"Oh? How so? ”

"First of all, you need to find the raw material that can be used for repair, the soul, which is not very difficult. After this is the most troublesome, no mortal can really study the knowledge of the soul realm thoroughly, let alone repair it, not even me. If you ask King Didra, they may offer you an unacceptable price. ”

That's right. It looks like Pinky is going to be scrapped forever. Fortunately, the loss of my little finger did not affect my daily life much.

……

In the days I've been away, Musk has drawn all sorts of patterns on the ground. I've taken a cursory look at how some runes can compress a large amount of mana into a point with extremely high energy density, and this high-energy point will cause spatial instability and make it extremely fragile and easy to tear apart; Some runes can play a role in changing the nature of energy, and the power of people, scrolls, and staffs will be able to communicate with each other unhindered under the transformation of runes; Some runes act as protection, protecting one of the key and fragile items that open the passage from the storm that will be generated by the tearing of the space, and that item is me.

In this way, I still have to stay in this world. Alas...... Krako was able to return to his ancestors after all the hardships, but I ended up with a home that I could not return to. Although Musk has already reminded me to be mentally prepared, I am still sad about it after facing the reality.

"I think you've noticed from the protection runes on the ground that you'll still be staying in this world after the ritual is initiated, for reasons I told you earlier. Is there anything you'd like me to do for you? ”

Musk's words brought me back to my senses from my melancholy. I can't go back to my homeland, but being able to influence that world through Musk is not the worst outcome. I thought about it for a while and put my request to Musk.

"When I contacted my parents, they told me that I survived the plane crash, but I ended up in Somalia...... Mercenary. Well, I know it sounds, but if they can get the news that I'm alive, they'll believe it. Then, you should be able to imitate my voice, right? Well, it's okay to be like me, right? Well, do you know Photoshop? Well, it doesn't matter, it's very simple, just learn it, make some pictures and send them over, and I must look like a regular mercenary in the pictures, doing a decent job and living a good life...... In short, don't let my parents have any worries. ”

Musk carefully wrote down my requests one by one, "Don't worry, I will help you take care of all the details." Any other requirements? ”

"No more. As long as my family and friends don't cry for me, I'm satisfied, and I just hope they can live well. I'm not around them, and I'd like you to take care of them for me. ”

Musk nodded, then took the wooden mask he had worn from his pocket and handed it to me.

"When you get to Earth, this mask is useless, so take it as my parting gift to you. When you're in danger – and I'm talking about danger worse than death – activate this mask, which teleports you to a 'relatively safe' place. ”

"Thank you." I tucked the wooden mask into my coat pocket and stood in the place that the circle had planned for me, "Let's get started. ”

"That guy left completely?"

There are small ripples scattered around it that distort vision, and the torn space has been reclosed. Trees, rocks, terrain were gone, a huge storm of energy had crushed everything around me, and when I was awakened from my trance, I was sitting in the very center of a ruin.

Musk is gone, and I don't know if he will come back. Although he has gained a lot of knowledge about life on Earth from my memory, it is not easy to truly adapt to that world. Actually, there's nothing to worry about, after all, the other party is a powerful master, and now it's better for me to care about myself.

The man in black in front of him...... I had met her more than ten days earlier on my way north to the Tomb of Isgrammer, and she had helped me eliminate a squad of Somo. To be sure, she had no ill will towards me, and I guess I must have some kind of value in her eyes.

"Yes, he's gone. Do you have anything to do with me? ”

"I'm looking for the Dragonborns to push them to fulfill their mission."

Dragonborn, Mission ...... I really want to say something sarcastic to her. I can't even go back home, what bullshit mission will I have to pay attention to? After finally taking care of everything, I just want to be quiet and get back to my normal life.

"This aunt, I'm very sorry, I'm so tired right now that I don't want to do anything."

"Until then, I'll give you plenty of rest."

The man in black stared at me with a grim gaze, and slowly leaned his hand towards the handle of the blade at his waist.

She was threatening me.

I realized that I wasn't her match when I held the witch, and now I'm not only defenseless but also extremely weak. In that case, let's find an excuse to drag it out, she should be able to make some compromises, at least she didn't kidnap me the last time she met me.

"Please give me some time. You know, I've just been out on a long trip, and I've got a lot of things to do at home. I'll go to you when I'm done. ”

How long is some time?

Who knows what the way is? Delay it as long as you can, and I can't help her mess around when I return to Snowman City, where I will be a baron with a detached position in the eyes. However, the answer of the man in black made my smile freeze immediately.

"I'll be near you during this time, and I'll protect you in case you accidentally get into any trouble."

"Hehe, that's still (now) really (most) (big) to make you (numb) trouble (yes) (you)."
