Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 58, Afternoon Tea

Unlike the previous two sharp arrows, the sharp-eyed Hex could see that the speed of this arrow obviously contained the special techniques of the ancient martial arts world. That kind of mysterious power?

The pitch-black and tough arrow bounced out with a "pop", and with the sound of breaking the air, it whistled past the ears and rowed into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Hex jerked his head and saw the airship in the sky being exploded by a streamer arrow.

With a "boom", the airship exploded.

Orange-red flames poured out of the cracks, and the arrogant tongue of fire suddenly surrounded the entire airship.

After the third arrow of the streamer was fired, the metal fragments and flames from the explosion in the air formed an inconspicuous vortex, converging towards the arrow that passed through the airship.

After a while, the wreckage of the airship, after losing its support, eventually scattered from the air to the ground like fireworks, with black smoke.

"Is that the power of the Ancient Martial World? It's as powerful as a laser cannon! Hex's pupils constricted, his body trembled slightly, and he didn't make any sound. The strong wind from the arrow orbit blew gently across Hex's cheeks.

Everything in the ancient martial arts world is an extremely mysterious existence for people in the technology world.

Because that place was so far away from them that they wouldn't have been able to get there even for three hundred years if they had relied solely on the speed of the ship.

The army has special channels, and everyone knows it.

The government has blocked almost all information about the world of ancient martial arts, and everyone knows that it is a mysterious and powerful place, located on the edge of human borders, but it has always been the strongest backing of mankind.

A world so powerful that even the Sixth World War could not reach it or hurt them in the slightest. This is Hex, the world of ancient martial arts that everyone knows.

"On the other side of the universe, there's a ...... over there. Human civilization? Hex didn't fully believe this until this point. If it weren't for the fact that he met the streamer in the North Sea, if it wasn't for what Hex saw with his own eyes, the terrifying energy that burst out from the arrow that just flowed from the streamer, I'm afraid that until the end of Hex's life, he would not believe in the existence of that world because of his obsession with scientific logic.

Hex is not a susceptible science enthusiast, he has his own worldview and beliefs. The news in the media, even those reports from the military and the school, could not shake Hex's firm heart, because in the reports, the mysterious forces of the ancient martial arts world could not be explained by scientific logic.

"Advanced physics like superpowers?" Hex suddenly thought of a previous rumor in tech circles.

Hex stared deeply at the streamer, the man in front of him was not like an ordinary human like him, but more like a terrifying creature in human skin.

What would a society that was said to be completely different from the world of technology? It is completely different from the world of science and technology, and the humanities and physics are different, and the architectural style is different. Is that place as peaceful as we are?

(And the world of ancient martial arts at this moment.)

At the foot of the Dome Mountain, Nangong is familiar with the town of Luoxia. The houses and streets were all destroyed at this moment, as if they had just experienced an earthquake. The stone strips that paved the streets were all arched, and the houses were crooked.

At the end of the street, the sexy and hot proprietress of the tavern had just returned from the market outside, and stood in front of the town with a few other big men, looking at the mess in front of them, speechless for a while.

The townsfolk were all young and strong, except for the mayor, who was a little old and gray-haired.

"Ah...... It's like this again! Headache! Headaches! The village chief said leisurely, but he didn't look angry, and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, with a smile on his face.

The sexy proprietress touched her forehead, she was completely fed up with this kind of mess. Every time there is no one in town, those naughty guys will quietly come from the other side of the mountain to carry out demolition. Hmph, a group of rats who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.

A small surprise every two or three weeks, and a big accident every three or four months.

On the sneering face of the proprietress, a fierce light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she clenched her fists and said fiercely. "Hehe, little bunnies, you all wait for the old lady!"

Ancient Martial World...... From this moment on, Hex became more and more curious about it, and he definitely had to go there when he had the opportunity, and he would definitely have to go there for a lifetime, otherwise Hex would definitely feel that his life would be left with regrets.

Exiting from the VC, Hex's and Streamer's consciousness returns to their real bodies once again.

"Wow, Xinyadu is really great, Nangong." Cola shouted excitedly.

When the streamer entered the VC world, Nangong took the new vector of the streamer in his hand and played with it carefully, tinkering with various new ways to play this folding mechanical bow. The various mechanisms, buttons, Nangong and Coke were so happy that they sighed enviously. I want a handful too!

The archer class in Gladiator is easy to overlook, it doesn't have many features, it doesn't have flashy skills, and it's not very popular among players because it's too technically demanding.

However, its ultra-long-range sniping ability is excellent, which is difficult for mages to match.

Coke had seen the archery of the streamer before, and at that time, Cola felt that the people of the ancient martial arts world had a strange magic. The arrows of the streamer, as well as the sword of Nangong, are like this.

"Little Ear, please take three more glasses of watermelon juice." Nangong said to the girl at the window from a distance, and added a refill.

"Hex, are you busy in the afternoon? Come with us for a tour of the North Sea! ”

"I don't have time in the afternoon, and Coco and I have been very busy on the project. Oh, by the way, I should go back, I came out this time mainly to hand over the finished Vector to the streamer, and Coco is still waiting in the lab for me to bring her lunch. ”

Hex looked at the girl sitting with Yuzu in a pink apron with a bear pattern. "Little Ear, did you make a sandwich today?"

"Yes, but there are not many materials, how many do you want from Hex?"

"Pack me two, um, bring a cup of coffee, Coco loves the coffee you make."

"Hee-hee! Okay, wait a minute, the little ears will be fine in no time. The girl named Little Ear jumped up and down into the hut in three or two steps, and skillfully picked up the little shovel and the sauce jar and prepared the dishes.

"Speaking of which, Hex? What have you been busy with these past two days? Every day as soon as school is over, I see you and Coco hurrying out of school. What's your secret with Coco? ”

Hex, though a boy, has a very cute smile. I always wore a pair of goggles on my face, and now that I take them off, I don't look like the dull science enthusiast I used to be.

"Well, no, it's not a secret. It's just that Coco and I have been having some trouble with a project we have been working on recently. Didn't I go to the fair in Marina City the day before school started? I met a very chatty uncle at the expo that day, and he happened to be very researched about my project, so after school these two days, Coco and I would go directly to him to ask some questions whenever we were free. Have you been working on any projects lately? ”

"Nope!"

"Project?" Nangong blinked his eyes and looked at the streamer. "What's that?"

"It's a bounty mission in the North Sea! That thing has to do with Beihai's graduation mechanic, which is the main way to earn points. Coke and Hex: They need to make up 100,000 points in Beihai before graduation, which is a hard rule in Beihai. ”

"Uh...... What a hassle! With a strange expression on his face, Nangong obviously still didn't understand. Coke, 100,000 points must be an astronomical amount for you. ”

"Cut, of course I know, I'm trying to figure it out." Coke dragged his cheeks, very distressed by Beihai's strange school rules.

Points are the virtual currency that students use for all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation in Beihai Academy,Even if Nangong and Streamer are invited students,If there are no points,,The two of them are also difficult to move an inch in Beihai。 However, in the accounts of Nangong and Streamer, the points have always been very rich.

"Hex, the sandwich is ready." A gentle and sweet female voice came from the window.

"I'm coming." Hex got up, put away the finished refreshments and cutlery, and brought them to the window of the wooden house, where he placed them on the windowsill. After waiting for Xiao Er to be free for a while, she will clean all these tea sets.

Hex then took the paper bag containing the sandwich from the shy-looking girl. The watch on the left hand docked with the blue light emitted by a machine in the window, and with a "ding-" sound, the transaction was completed. The cost of the wooden house is not high on campus, and the environment here is relatively comfortable, Hex and Coco usually like to come here for afternoon tea.

"Huh?" Hex saw that there was still a cup of steaming black tea in the food bag, and wondered if Little Ear was mistaken, Hex looked up at Little Ear, and then at Grapefruit, just about to open his mouth to ask.

Hex is an informal person, and he often doesn't pay attention to the details of how he behaves. Xiao'er, an old acquaintance, naturally knew that the guy in front of him was not good at this, so he bent his eyes and smiled lightly, and took the initiative to explain.

"This is the one for Coco, who usually likes to drink tea in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Hex looked up at Little Ear in surprise, raised his watch, and prepared to pay the bill. But it was immediately interrupted by a frowning little ear.

"Hex!" Little Ear said a little angrily. "As a feedback from regular customers, you are not allowed to refuse."

"Okay!"

Hex, who is not very good at human affairs, seems to understand the meaning of Xiaoer, but he is still a little confused. With a stunned expression, Hex thanked Little Ear for his kindness and turned to greet the others.

"Then everyone, I'll go back first, Coco is still hungry and waiting for me in the laboratory, you guys play slowly." Hex turned his casual gaze to the other three at the table. "Oh, Coke, if you want to earn points, you can go to the Ministry of Affairs, and it's also a good way to take some simple tasks."
