Chapter 145: The Past
Seeing Tang Juyi, who was sitting on the bow of the boat comfortably watching the scenery, Yanchuan, who came to relieve his addiction to smoking, couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Huh? Aren't you going to take advantage of this time to go back to reality? This kind of day is one day at a time. ”
Tang Juyi didn't look back, just stretched his arms and responded lazily:
"It's a bit troublesome in reality, so it's better for me to get stronger and go back."
Since he didn't know what Tang Juyi had experienced, Yan Chuan just shrugged his shoulders, and then walked to Tang Juyi and sat down, looking at the dark sea with him:
"You'll be at the gateway to the Overworld in a few days, do you have any expectations?"
Tang Juyi turned his head and smiled:
"Looking forward to it? After all, there are not many fish as big as the sun. ”
Yanchuan took a puff of cigarette and was also happy:
"Do you still want to see Xuanyu? Don't dream, what we're going to is just a remote star in the main world, not to mention a squid, even a yellow croaker is rare. ”
Tang Juyi said indifferently:
"If you can't see it, you can't see it, it's not a big deal."
After that, neither of them spoke again.
Looking at the undulating sea, Tang Juyi suddenly said:
"This trip to the Overworld, in addition to taking us to see the world, also has something to do with the old men on the ship before, right?"
Yanchuan was stunned when he heard this:
"You kid is very sensitive, have you guessed this?"
Tang Juyi stared into the distance of the Sea of Oblivion, and his tone seemed very relaxed:
"Is it hard? In addition to Captain Wen, there are six old men, but you are the only one who shows up, and the others should have returned long ago if they were on a dimensional mission, which can only mean that they have gone to the Overworld. ”
Speaking of which, Tang Juyi thought thoughtfully:
"The task that can only be ensured by the five of them traveling together is not less important, and it should be Captain Wen's decision. However, it was obviously unexpected that they hadn't come back for so long, so I took this opportunity to look for them. ”
Yan Chuan took a puff of cigarette with interest:
"Hey, you're such a talent."
Tang Juyi glanced at Yan Chuan:
"Do you have to talk to me in this Li Yunlong-style tone?"
Yanchuan didn't care about Tang Juyi's run, but said another thing to himself:
"Do you remember what your sister Wen said at the meeting before? What about our failure to advance to Tier 5? ”
Tang Juyi was stunned:
"Remember...... Does this trip to the Overworld have something to do with the past? ”
Yan Chuan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and some nostalgic colors appeared in his eyes:
"I'll tell you, boy, there was a very strong man on this ship back then, so strong that he became the faith of everyone on this ship, and he was a spiritual pillar......"
Tang Juyi, who knew that there would be a large-scale story meeting next, complained in a low voice:
"Is this starting to reminisce mode......
Yan Chuan looked at the gray sky, and his tone was a little deep:
"At that time, I also regarded him as a target, and I was motivated to follow his footsteps......"
"In that period when there was nothing, he led us to grow up step by step from the level 1 team, and finally even became the top existence in the level 4 team."
Looking at Yan Chuan's expression, Tang Juyi could also see such a tall figure in a trance.
"I don't know how many times I have escaped death by him, and it can be said that the people on the boat have basically been saved by him...... And we are slowly growing up, and gradually we are able to help him share the ups and downs......"
Yan Chuan suddenly sighed:
"But just when we all thought the future was bright, an accident suddenly came."
"In order to cope with the test task of promoting to the level 5 team, we spent a lot of resources to customize a very precious thing from the main world, and led by that man, a total of eleven people went to escort the thing, intending to bring it back to the ship of Theseus."
Of course, Tang Juyi knows the plot after that:
"That's what happened in the process, didn't it?"
Yan Chuan nodded, a chill brewing in his eyes:
"We were intercepted, a total of three level 4 teams shot together, and even spent a lot of money to bring in a level 5 team...... Although we had enough strength at that time, we were still powerless in the face of this kind of formation. Even if that man is stronger than everyone expected, he can't go back. ”
"Of the eleven people in all, I was the only one who came back alive, and for a simple reason - by luck. They thought they had killed me, but they still breathed a sigh of relief and survived......"
Yeonchuan smiled self-deprecatingly, not seeming to be glad that he had survived:
"Ten people...... They were all cutting-edge combat forces at that time, and the strongest old men on the ship of Theseus, even the man, died in the Sea of Oblivion, and even the body could not be found......"
But Tang Juyi was concerned about the treasure that cost a lot of materials:
"So, that thing that needs to be escorted has also been taken away?"
Yan Chuan gave a negative answer:
"No, they didn't get it. The man of faith desperately hid that precious thing somewhere in the Overworld, and the clues left for us were forbidden and no one could solve them. ”
At this time, Tang Juyi also understood:
"It wasn't until recently that the ban was lifted, and you know where that clue leads, right?"
Yan Chuan nodded, and then stood up:
"Before I escaped from the killing zone, he told me one thing, I must help Wen Weizhi to secure the captain's position and redevelop the ship with Theseus."
"So, I'm not going to let any possible downside exist."
The last sentence was already full of killing intent, although it was not aimed at Tang Juyi, but it also made him feel a strong coldness.
"What's his name?"
Tang Juyi couldn't help but ask about this past legend.
Yan Chuan's steps to leave paused:
"Fang Wentian."
Then, Yan Chuan hesitated for a moment, and then said another, more astonishing piece of information:
"Wen Weizhi...... It was his lover and at the same time the detachment he saved from the slave traders. Therefore, the taboos she warned you about are best not to tread. ”
At this moment, Tang Juyi finally understood why Wen Weizhi became the captain of the ship, why he held such a grudge against the slave trade related to the detached, and even understood why Yanchuan was willing to be a behind-the-scenes guard despite having the strongest strength.
"Fang Wentian...... It can indeed be called a faith-like existence. ”
Tang Juyi remembered the name, and then set his eyes on the distant sea of oblivion pointed by the bow of the ship:
"Overworld...... Hope this trip goes smoothly......"
