Chapter 148: Strayed into another dimension
In this other world, due to the existence of the Autobots, people will not be surprised that a person does not eat or drink for a few days, and there are indeed some skilled craftsmen in the kingdom who can transform the car into a human form, but it is rare, so when Derian saw that Cheng Shi and the others were so surprised that a person did not eat for three days, he felt a little surprised.
"This ...... Is there something wrong? She's an alien who can make electricity out of thin air, isn't it normal to skip meals? Derian looked at Cheng Shi a little stunned.
Barbara just wanted to explain to Derian that magic needs to consume the magic energy in the body, and after the magic energy is consumed, it needs to be replenished by eating, but just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Cheng Shi preemptively speaking.
"It's normal, maybe she's the same as the Autobots, as long as she has electricity." Cheng Shi looked at Derian and laughed, "Then what else did she say?" Did you say what to do when you go into town? ”
Derian shook his head: "No, she has always been weird, never spoke much, just said that she wanted to enter the city, and did not ask me the direction of entering the city, but after going out, she went in the wrong direction, I called her She didn't look back, I was so old, I couldn't catch up with her, so I had to let her go." He pointed to Barbara, "Is this friend of yours related to her?" ”
"No, I never remember any relatives I had." Barbara replied immediately, the question that seemed to make her sensitive.
Cheng Shi glanced at Barbara, who was a little flustered, and swallowed back what he just wanted to ask with his mouth half-open.
Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Cheng Shi was just about to turn around and go back to the dining table to eat, and casually asked again: "Can we go in and have a look at the guest room she lived in before?" ”
Before Derian could answer, Barbara first questioned Cheng Shi's motives: "Landlord, what are you going to do?" ”
Cheng Shi was stunned: "No...... Nothing, I just wanted to see if there were any relics in her room. ”
Barbara glared: "Relic? ”
Cheng Shi patted his head and smiled awkwardly: "I mean the items left behind, if there are, they may help us analyze her true identity." ”
Barbara sighed and said no more, and the two turned to look at Derian again.
She ...... ...... in the room Nothing was left. Derian looked nervous and a little distracted.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi felt that the other party was obviously trying to hide something, so he asked Barbara to go to dinner first, and after Barbara left, he began to talk nonsense: "That friend of mine is an orphan," he said and pointed to his brain, "Sometimes her brain is not very good, Miss Vina may be one of her twin sisters, if Miss Vina leaves something in the room, you better let me see, if it is very valuable, you make a price, I can buy it, so it will be okay, right?" ”
Barbara looked back at Cheng Shi as she walked with a question mark in her head, she didn't know what Cheng Shi said about her after she left.
Derian saw that Cheng Shi not only didn't intend to grab things, but also negotiated politely, and understood the "rules" very well in his words, so he smiled with relief: "After Miss Vena left, I found a necklace when I cleaned up the room, and I don't know if it was hers, I can show it to you for free, but if you want to take it away, you have to pay me at least 20 gold." ”
Cheng Shi was shocked in his heart quietly, thinking that this old fox really had his own little abacus: "Oh, yes, you can show me first, if it is valuable to us, 20 gold is no problem." ”
Derian turned around and rummaged through the cabinet in the back, and after a while, he placed a small wooden box in front of Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi opened the wooden box and took out the necklace inside, he saw that this necklace was nothing special except for a crystal stone that shone in the light, and the necklace rope made of many small metal rings had been broken.
If the information bridge is around, Cheng Shi will return
He could let it scan it, but now he could only study it by himself, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything strange about this necklace, so he temporarily put it in a small wooden box: "Boss, you wait a minute, I'll let my friend come over and take a look." ”
Derian nodded, and Cheng Shi walked towards the table.
"Isn't this my necklace? How did you get here, you got lost on the battlefield of Fetrech? Barbara picked up the necklace and was surprised.
Cheng Shi was overjoyed, thinking that there was indeed an important clue: "Have you looked carefully, are you sure it's your necklace?" ”
Barbara nodded vigorously, as if convinced.
Derian was stunned: "What the hell is going on?" Is she really Miss Vina? Just left me and forgot? He shook his head as he spoke, "Why is your brain so bad at a young age?" ”
"Who do you think has a bad brain?" Barbara yelled at Derian.
Cheng Shi saw that the atmosphere was not right, and threw out a sentence: "It's all included in the meal fee." So he took Barbara over to eat.
After a few people had a simple meal in the hotel, although Yangyang shouted that it would be more comfortable to sleep in the guest room, he was still dragged back to the car by Cheng Shi. Barbara naturally knew the significance of discovering this necklace, and at the moment she wanted to find the woman named Vina more than anyone else. The group sat in the car for a while, and finally decided to continue the journey and chase Vina overnight, while those who wanted to sleep could sleep in the car.
The car drove along the potholed road in the bright moonlight, and if you didn't care about the scenery on both sides of the road, it even looked a bit like the scene when they first came to this other world. Cheng Shi sat on the coffee table in the middle, so as to leave enough sofa space for Yang Yang and North to sleep, Barbara had a short sleep time, but she didn't have high requirements for a sleeping place, just sit and squint for a while, but at the moment she had too many questions in her head, and it was estimated that she was going to lose sleep.
Cheng Shi sat in the center of the coffee table, guarding everything around him from time to time through the glass in all directions of the car, but the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, as if someone had opened the door for them, allowing them to drive straight to Yalong Mountain.
After a while, Cheng Shi's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, although he opened his eyes hard, he still couldn't stop the shaking of his body, and when the car went through a violent bump, he completely lay on the coffee table.
"Master, wake up, Ben is a little confused." The sound of the information bridge quietly entered Cheng Shi's brain.
"Landlord, landlord, wake up, something is not right." Barbara shook Cheng Shi's body vigorously and shouted.
Cheng Shi got up suddenly, he saw that there was a white expanse outside the car window around him, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously and shook his head to sober up, but the surroundings were still snow-white, and the car seemed to be driving on the clouds.
"Foggy?" Cheng Shi held the front and co-pilot seats for a long time and asked such a question.
"Ben's tires don't feel any resistance, and it's like we've strayed into a portal." The information bridge explains with the first touch.
Cheng Shi stood up suddenly, but he was bounced back on the coffee table by the roof of the car, but at this time he didn't care about the pain in his head.
"Damn, Xiaoqiao, are you lost?" Cheng Shi touched his head and asked in surprise.
"No, it's just normal driving, just walking, that's it." Infobridge replied in a normal tone.
Cheng Shi patted Brian who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Local, is there a portal on the way to Yalong Mountain?" ”
Brian was confused: "I've been to Yalong Mountain, there are several teleportation points in the mountain, I've run this road many times before, I've never heard of a portal on the road," he said and suddenly became nervous, "None of the portals here can teleport the core of the mind, oh my God, we're not all going to die, right?" Are we dead? ”
Barbara was speechless when she saw Brian, who was a little panicked: "Kill you!" Aren't you as good as we are now, calm down! ”
Just when everyone didn't know what was happening, the white fog outside the car gradually receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after a while, everyone could see everything around them clearly.
"Big one, this is a bit like your hometown, huh?" Cheng Shi looked around and found that this was a stone town, and the car was parked on a wide road in the town, and the surrounding area was empty and did not look like a place where people lived.
Oldman haha: "It's a bit like that, but this house is a little shorter." ”
"Small bridge, detect the surroundings." Cheng Shi said in the air.
"The external environment is safe, everyone in the car can go out, and in addition, the current location is still near Yalong Mountain, and we should be in a different space at the foot of the mountain." Information Bridge Analysis.
Cheng Shi heard the sound and asked the information bridge to open the car door, and then except for Yang Yang and North, who were still sleeping like dead people, everyone else got out of the car and stepped on the land of this deserted stone town.
"Oh my God, this is the ancient kingdom, and it is the same as what is recorded in our history books, and it turns out that what is recorded in the history books is true." Brian sighed as he got out of the car and looked around.
Cheng Shi climbed on the stone pile of a collapsed building, and saw the rolling stone buildings in the distance, layers of gray-black rock roofs extending outward along the ups and downs of the terrain, everything in the eye was lifeless gray-black, and there was no life in sight, making people feel as if they were in a black and white world.
"Were all your ancient houses built of stone?" Barbara asked, looking at Brian.
Brian nodded: "That's what is recorded in the history books, but why is there a deserted ancient city here?" ”
Barbara shrugged and spread out her hands, indicating that no one here knew what was going on, and then she smiled weirdly at Brian, "Would you be scared if I suddenly grew a pair of wings now?" ”
Brian shook his head, not that he wasn't afraid, he didn't believe that Barbara would suddenly grow wings.
Hearing the sound of a rapid fan of her wings, Barbara flew through the air to reconnoiter the situation, and soon she found a well-preserved courtyard in the middle of the stone town, and the buildings in it, although not very high, had very few collapsed, perhaps the noble dwellings of the town.
"What are you looking at?" Yang Yang didn't know when he got out of the car and patted Brian on the shoulder.
Brian looked at Barbara flying in mid-air, stunned for a long time, and suddenly someone patted her shoulder from behind, and she almost squatted on the ground: "It is said that we have been together for two days, I should believe you, but some of your abilities still make me wonder what you do?" ”
Yang Yang smiled evilly, and with a wave of his arms, he turned into a pair of wings: "You just need to know that we are not bad people." ”
Brian squatted on the ground all of a sudden, the cold sweat on his forehead gushing out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't know what to say anymore.
The group cautiously explores this dead and mysterious lost town along the wide road, and under Barbara's guidance, their first stop is the aristocratic courtyard in the middle of the town.
Along the way, Yangyang was very curious about the old houses and simple street furniture around him, and from time to time he asked the natives around him about the ancient history of the Montoio Kingdom.
According to Brian, this stone town is probably equivalent to the architectural style recorded in their history books more than 1,000 years ago, when the whole world was divided into three kingdoms, Montoio was the largest one, and King Albos III was still leading the soldiers to conquer the four directions and expand the territory, so the whole world was constantly at war.
