Chapter 257: The Burning Talisman

"Savage and... Is it more barbaric?"

Venia didn't expect Evan to give such an answer, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes suddenly widened. Although it was a surprise look, it was still the same cute in the eyes of others.

In fact, I have asked this question to many people who feel very wise during their travels.

Some people replied that it was the firm belief of the mainlanders! Some said that it was advanced culture! Some people said that it was powerful science and technology! and some people said that the people of the mainlanders were inherently nobler than the natives!

Aivan's answer brutally swept all the answers that seemed very reasonable into the garbage heap.

From a very objective and neutral point of view, he explained the essence of the current situation of colonization and colonization!

This time it was the girl's turn to fall into "deep thought", and after a long time, she raised her head again and showed a sudden and relaxed smile.

The answer I've been looking for for so many years is just that simple?

There is no essential difference between the so-called civilized state and the primitive princely state, stripped of those high-sounding ornate garments, the superficial advantages of the civilized state are only derivatives built on the superiority of strength.

A journey to find your own answers is in the wrong direction.

Even if you can learn all the achievements of civilization of the people of the Old World, and transplant them all to your hometown.

But can you imagine the funny appearance of the people there who have thrown away the spirits of their ancestors and thousands of years of customs, dressed in formal clothes, greeted with mainland etiquette, and drank afternoon tea?

How long will it take to build a scientific foundation from scratch and then grow to the point where the continent can build strong ships and cannons?

It's more likely that it's not adapted...

If Evan knew what she was thinking, he would have been able to provide her with a more vivid example.

The dinosaurs, who ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years in their previous lives, never developed the same intelligence and technology as humans who only existed for a few million years.

However, perfectly adapted to the environment, it can be found in every corner of the world. How can this be considered a failure to occupy the top of the food chain for a full 55 times more time than humans?

Who would dare to say that sharp claws and strong muscles are not another victory of evolution?!

Of course, if time and space are out of order, humans and dinosaurs are given the opportunity to go toe-to-toe.

At that time, the overlords who have ruled two eras separately will probably be able to win or lose with a battle of guns and minions.

Seeing that Venia finally came back to her senses, Evan didn't realize what kind of impact what she said had on her, any joker in her previous life was a hundred times better than herself!

"This kind of topic about the future of the race is so far away from us, even the king of a country cannot dictate the direction of the civilized world, it is more realistic to do your own thing in a down-to-earth manner.

If you are done with Nisque, welcome to our 'Port of Newinn' in Faletis. As a landlord, I will take you to see the scenery of another country.

The most special thing is that there are many more factories with steam engines there than here!"

After solving the long-standing troubles, the girl's face has returned to its original brightness, and after thanking Evan's invitation, something suddenly came to mind.

"By the way, I've been paying attention to you for a long time.

Oh, I just drew it, so I'll give it to you!"

As she spoke, the girl pulled out a piece of paper from the picture folder she had been carrying behind her back and handed it to Aven.

It was a very vivid sketch.

In the lower left corner of the picture is an artist playing with a violin in his hand.

In the main part, next to the stone bridge in the sun, a young man with a straight posture stood quietly, listening very carefully to the moving piano music.

The young man's handsome face was slightly upturned, a smile was on his lips, and there was a slight glint in the corners of his closed eyes.

It seems to be immersed in some good memories, and I can't extricate myself for a long time.

In the lower right corner of the painting, there is also a line of small characters written in Juanxiu's font - "Memories of a Youth".

"This ....."

Evan looked at the sketch and was indeed himself, but he was obviously several years younger than him, who was now sixteen years old, and probably only about ten years old.

The girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "When I saw you pondering, I thought that you might be what you remembered in the painting." So..."

Only then did Ai Wen understand why there were so many tourists in the square, why did this girl with such an outstanding temperament and appearance find her?

It turned out that she had been modeled once unconsciously.

However, this painting depicts it very vividly, especially the demeanor of happiness mixed with nostalgia at that time, which is simply intriguing and very expressive.

"It's okay, thank you Venia! ”

Evan carefully rolled it up and held it in his hand, ready to treasure this moment of his true feelings.

After the memory of the previous life awakened, how long has it been since the "strong" self shed tears?

Reaching into his trouser pocket (which was actually a magic pocket in his trouser pocket), he took out a "Silver Amulet" that could be used to defend against negative energy and psychic attacks, and handed it to Venia.

"Miss Venia, this is my return gift, just a talisman, as a blessing from a friend, please be sure to accept it!"

In the transcendent world, various "occults" are also very popular in the world of ordinary people, and amulets are also "occult items" that are widely available and sought after by mortals.

It's just that unlike the so-called "mystery shops" in the mundane world, which can only be used as psychological comfort, this is a genuine transcendent talisman.

It's also a boutique that Ai Wen has not been able to make by himself for the time being, and he got it from the "Raven Bazaar" earlier!

"Thank you, Mr. Aven!"

As if she didn't realize the value of this amulet, Venia generously took it and hung it directly on her belt.

After chatting happily for a while, it was getting closer to noon.

Out of politeness and gentlemanly demeanor, Evan wanted to invite Venia to lunch, but was unexpectedly rejected by the girl.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have a chance next time.

I made an appointment with an oil painting teacher to visit his home at noon, and the time was almost up, and I had to go first!"

"Oh, that's a shame. ”

So, in the bright sun, the handsome young man and the beautiful maiden waved goodbye by the bridge.

The scenery is so beautiful that it can be painted.

Before parting.

Evan left the address of the Royal Naval College "Port Newin" as a point of contact.

Venia tells Evan that she may have to stay in Watertown for a while, and tell him where her hometown is when they meet next time.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Aven!

"Me too, Miss Vinia, goodbye!"

Seeing Venia's graceful figure disappear from the end of sight, Evan immediately took the drawing paper in his hand into the "magic pocket".

Immediately I felt a little strange in my heart, for this very cute girl, I do have that kind of attachment to beautiful things in my heart, but more of it is an unspeakable ... Sense of ease!

Because.

I don't know why he stayed with this beautiful girl like a forest elf, he always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

It's like standing alone on a rock at the top of a 10,000-meter cliff facing the wind, even if you know that there is no danger, but you can't contain your fear of the sky.

However, the spiritual perception that was very sensitive before did not give him any dangerous feedback this time.

I can only guess that it may be because I haven't been alone with a strange beautiful opposite sex for too long, and I'm a little nervous.

Until this time.

Ai Wen found that in the record of "Data-based Vision", his physical fitness attribute had just undergone a significant sudden increase.

The most obvious point is "mental power".

Taking the "Essence Fruit" scientifically has made his spiritual attributes grow steadily.

Now it has finally gone from 0.84 after the end of the "Navy Nova Mission" to 0.99, and there is already a basis for lighting up the "brilliance" of the eighth primordial essence.

When I watched the last big jump, just over an hour ago, when I heard the violin piece called "Meditation", I fell into deep thoughts for my relatives.

The world of idealism is so magical, a piano song can withstand months of hard meditation!

After this.

As long as you complete the three prerequisites of the apprenticeship stage, which are mainly the production of "Psychic Elixir" and "Wild Talisman" for Aven, you can hold an advanced ceremony to realize the transformation into a second-order official wizard!

However, Evan, who had reaped the unexpected joy, did not notice.

In an alley not far from him, the girl who had just been talking and laughing with him with the frame on her back had lost all expression on her face, like a very delicate doll.

Looking back at where Evan was standing through the wall, he raised his slender hand and gently stroked the corners of his pale pink lips:

"Is it a Galliot with the aura of the 'Golden Compass'? Perhaps it is just the good 'adventurer' that Thetis needs....."

As he spoke, with the slight fluctuation of his mood, the deep hidden aura in his body overflowed slightly.

The "Silver Talisman" on her belt suddenly spontaneously combusted without fire, and in the blink of an eye, it had burned into a pile of pitch-black residue.
