Chapter 439: Dazzling
After eating the bowl of meat and a jug of wine, the young man got up and left his seat, returned to his lodgings, and continued to lay down on the slate. And the people in the tavern gathered around the position where the young man had just sit, some to see if there was still a drop of wine left in the jug, and some were sitting in the position where the young man had just sit, repeatedly comparing this to see how the two knives just came out and how they went back. More people are talking about it, wanting to know where this powerful master came from, they can't wait to say that it is their own clan, or some kind of countryman, anyway, they just want to say that they are also because of this new master, you don't want to mess with me, but or disagree, in the tavern to make a big noise.
The young man didn't wait a few days, the old man who met for the first time came to visit his room, and the young man hurried to meet him, after all, he ate someone's invitation, owed someone's favor, that pot of wine and a bowl of meat, only after eating, you know, how much favor this is.
The old man didn't react, just smiled and nodded, and then, he started a family routine with the young man, what is it called, where did the teeth come from, is there anyone else in the family? ? It's just that the young man didn't remember any of these questions, he just frowned and thought about it, but he didn't have any answers for a long time.
This did not surprise the old man, you must know that most of the people who can come to this place are the same as young people, they can't remember anything, even the old man himself, he only remembers that there is a ligature in his name, but he has never been able to figure out whether his own character is a surname or a name, just use the people of the town, this is a forgotten place, neither hope nor future. Those who can come here are here to atone for their sins.
After the young man heard this, he didn't know why, he just couldn't remember how he came here, it seemed that he fell off, but where he fell from, and he could still fall here, and the two of them couldn't figure it out for seven years.
But it was not the old man's intention to ask the young man to do him a favor, because there was a map, which the old man had obtained a long time ago, and it indicated the location of the town, and it also indicated that there was a larger town, just around the town, but the person who drew the map, apparently under the influence of the distorted rules, drew the map like a treasure map, and only marked the location of the town and the town on two points.
Originally, the old man didn't think of this map as a good thing, after all, this can't be verified, who knows if it's a bigger one or not, or maybe it's a beast's lair, in the chaotic region, you really can't say, there is no such possibility.
But some time ago, there were really people from that town, and they said, there is indeed this town, there are about less than 10,000 people, 10,000 people, for this town of only a few dozen people, it is really a good place, after all, even these dozens of people here are very difficult to feed, where there can be 10,000 people, there must be better resources, at least there must be a fixed water source. What the old man thought about was whether he could send someone to the town to get in touch, even if he couldn't get through, at least he could know each other and get a message or something.
But the only one who could go far here was the old man, and the man from the town, after telling the address, went to the wasteland again, and then there was no more news, and he didn't know life or death, so this matter has been put on hold, knowing that the young man appeared. As soon as the old man looked at the young man, he found that he had something different on him, not to mention the rest, that is, the special cleanliness of his body, which proved his adaptation to the chaotic rules. And in the town, the sword and the power proved the old man's opinion, that is, this young man should be able to go further than himself in the wilderness.
The young man listened to the old man's statement, and was noncommittal, wanting to see which map to see first, only to see the old man take out a gray piece of paper from his body, a thin layer, as if it could be broken at any time, but after receiving it in his hand, he found that this thin piece of paper actually had a weight of dozens of catties, with winding lines on it, drawing countless curves, and then there were two small dots, marking the location of the two towns.
The old man pointed with his hand, this is where we are, according to this scale, I have only been there at most, and with a stroke of my hand, it shows a very small circle, about a few tens of kilometers from the location of the town.
The more young people look at that picture, the more they feel that it is not simple, it seems that this picture should not be looked at directly, but how should it be seen?? I have no clue about what the old man said about going to the town, the young man agrees, he can't wait for a lifetime in this cannibalistic town, if not, then it is a matter of time before he sets off to a bigger town, anyway, he has to go, so he sent the information for the old man, and he was not damaged. It's just how to walk, how long to walk, and, what to take, these are all crucial, and if you don't handle it well, it may be the last time you walk.
The young man said that he accepted the task of going to the town, but what he needed was to be familiar with the surrounding wasteland, and to be familiar with the map, so it would take a few days, the old man listened, he was very happy, and agreed to take the young man around to walk around and familiarize himself with the wasteland, as for the map, it doesn't matter, in this chaotic world, except for the people who want to go to the wilderness, no one will need a map, but even if it is a person who goes to the wilderness, he will not bring such a map, not to mention the weight is so heavy, and the marks on it are also incomprehensible, You must know that there is no way to determine the direction in the wilderness, and if you keep walking, you can turn the pit, and whether you can come back when you go out, for the people in the town, it is simply a matter of luck, and there is no certainty at all.
After the young man left the map, the old man said goodbye and walked away, the young man put the map on the stone platform, and kept looking at it intently, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't see it, this kind of very incomprehensible sense of contradiction, it made people very unhappy, as if you want to say a name, just on your lips, but you can't say anything, you can't remember, the feeling that makes people feel like a fish in the throat, it is really very unpleasant.
The young man had been sitting and looking at the map, and then he stood up and began to circle around the map, and finally, after a long staring, one of the young man's eyes turned into a vertical pupil, and a faint yellow light shot out, and the halo shone directly on the map like a smudged light.
