Volume 2 The Thousand Worlds and the Complete Continent Chapter 28 Scratching your head
Who is there at the dinner Chen Yuan who is not interested, he is only responsible for eating, eating, oh, and by the way, try to pack as much food as possible to feed Benben.
Among the hundreds of people present, there were only three people who could make Chen Yuan feel oppressive, Huff, Charles III, and an old man who also had a white beard sitting next to him, and other so-called celebrities in the West Elfa Continent and powerful people with a resounding reputation were pitifully weak in Chen Yuan's eyes.
Maybe it's because there are too few disputes between them in the past hundred years, or maybe it's because he advocates steady development without making trouble, Chen Yuan always feels that the fighters on the West Elfa Continent are missing a bit of blood.
A long-fought momentum.
Just like Chen Yuan before he didn't go to the Great Forest of Erwin, if he has a specialty skill at the same level, he can actually be called so-so at best.
Fortunately, no one bothered, it is estimated that they all understood Chen Yuan's expression and did not come to find a closed door to eat, and took care of the food in front of him in three or two, Chen Yuan was about to retreat with the packaged food, and the corner of his eye suddenly saw Huff beckoning to him.
Pointing to himself suspiciously, Chen Yuan was a little confused when he saw Huff nodding, this is to tell himself to go over and introduce himself to Charles III? There's no need... Chen Yuan is just a passerby, what's the use of befriending a king? It's still the kind that is about to die.
Bypassing the long dining table, Chen Yuan came to the middle of Huff and Charles III, took the chair handed by the waiter and sat down.
"Huff, you call me...?"
Glancing vaguely at Charles III, Huff shook his head with a smile.
"Kid, that old guy didn't call you here for me." Charles III patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and pouted beside him.
"He just wants the 'blacksmith' to see you."
...'Blacksmith'? Chen Yuan was a little confused, and looked at the old man sitting next to Charles III.
The beard was white but the hair was exposed, but the old man was unexpectedly strong, and the gray-black tattered clothes were not only incompatible with this banquet, but also could not hide the old man's thick limbs, especially the calluses on his hands, Chen Yuan could guarantee that this was one of the last calluses he had ever seen.
While Chen Yuan was observing the 'blacksmith', the 'blacksmith' also seemed to have recovered from eating, and turned his head to look at Chen Yuan.
'Click'
The legs of the stool he was sitting on were slightly cracked, Chen Yuan subconsciously tensed his body, and the old 'blacksmith's eyes were not sharp, but when the weather-beaten face hidden under the cloak looked at Chen Yuan with somewhat cloudy eyes, it made Chen Yuan think that he had come to the sea of corpses and blood in an instant, and the terrifying oppressive force almost made Chen Yuan put on a fighting posture.
After glancing at each other, as if thinking for a few seconds, the old 'blacksmith' nodded slowly to Huff and continued to eat the food on his table.
"John, take it easy." Huff spoke.
"If you want to go back, go back."
I thought that Huff had something to do with calling him over, but after glancing at an old man, it ended inexplicably, and Chen Yuan said hello to Charles III and left the banquet hall.
"The oppressive force just now... If I don't feel wrong, I'm afraid I'm going to surpass Huff a lot. Chen Yuan knew that he was not hallucinating just now, but that the old man in front of him was already far stronger than himself.
That terrifying aura only revealed a trace that could make Chen Yuan so nervous that he almost made a move, 'blacksmith'...
"It should be the nickname of the West Elfa continent, judging from the situation of that old man, nine times out of ten he is the same generation as Huff, maybe you can find out about it by looking for relevant books."
Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't know about what happened hundreds of years ago, and at this time he didn't know what Huff meant, but if he wanted to satisfy his curiosity, it was also a good way to consult ancient books, and he would usually have a lot of gains.
.....
Two hours after Chen Yuan left, the banquet came to an end.
By this time, many of the guests had already left, and the three people sitting in the main seat were still there, Huff was sipping the wine made from the magic fruit little by little, Charles III lit a cigar and smoked, and the 'blacksmith' was still eating his food.
"Mane, is it really okay..."
Hearing Huff's words, the 'blacksmith' who was eating stopped moving, and after a moment slowly nodded again.
"He, enough. At least, it won't break. ”
“... Has the situation of the Bridge of the Abyss reached such a point, even you, are about to come out..."
There seemed to be a slight fluctuation in his eyes, and the 'blacksmith' did not answer, but continued to bite down on the meat with a heavy 'um'.
The blacksmith' had cracks on the skin of his hands, and he had been eating food less than thirty centimeters from his desk in front of his table, only because the waiter had been helping to replenish and move the food closer.
"They're near."
"Did the demigods fail too?"
"The lighthouse, it's not there, they're not there, they can't stop it."
Charles III clenched his fists and his face was cloudy, and Huff's hand holding the glass froze, and he sighed and put the glass back on the table.
"Chaos and death, is it coming again..."
"What should come will come, won't it?" Charles III's gloomy face let go of a wry smile, followed by relief.
"Maybe my old bones can still find a home when I was young."
Putting his hand on the sword he was carrying, and gently stroking the hilt, the wrinkles on Charles III's face seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.
"John... The kid was too young, maybe he would have had his own ideas. I couldn't force him. ”
The 'blacksmith' who was eating paused, and waved his stiff hand.
Seeing the meaning of 'blacksmith', Huff also breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't seem to be that bad... I'll make it clear to that kid, after the lighthouse is rekindled. ”
"If he wants to."
"He... Should be willing. I saw a lot from him... Charlie, you feel it, too. ”
Huff looked at his old friend.
"Ah, yes, that smell, such an exciting taste, how could I forget."
"The smell of ashes, I seem to see the crumbs dissipate in front of me again..."
Seeing that both of them seemed to have made up their minds, Huff drank the wine from his cup and said no more.
.....
"Stupid, it's dinner."
"Hmph."
Separated the food boxes packed back layer by layer, and Stupid picked up a box to bury his head in eating, Chen Yuan smoothed the stupid hair on the side, "Stupid, you should go take a shower." ”
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, his mouth suddenly froze when he was chewing non-stop, and a flattering smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but Chen Yuan jumped up directly and patted his head.
"It must be washed!"
"I really don't know why you are so afraid of bathing a bear, if you don't bathe, the hair is dirty, you won't find a female bear in the future!"
"Hmph." Grunting sadly, Clumsy decided to turn his grief into appetite.
Sitting on the chair next to him, Chen Yuan called the system to see if there was any system prompt just now.
In addition to the necessary warnings, sometimes the prompts of the system will not appear directly in front of Chen Yuan's eyes, but unfortunately after looking down, Chen Yuan did not find the relevant prompts at all.
The momentum is not an attack, it may also be because the hidden power of the old man is too great and the system is not enough to identify the authority, with Chen Yuan's current authority in the second module, as long as the existing strength reaches the legendary level, the information that Chen Yuan can obtain through the system scan will be missing, and the deeper he goes into the legendary-level Chen Yuan, the less information he will get.
'Blacksmith' is afraid that it is not around LV.33, and even if Chen Yuan can scan it, it is estimated that he will not be able to scan any important information.
"But... The breath on that person's body is really cold, not only cold, but also blood..."
According to Chen Yuan's perception, although the 'blacksmith's body is full of cold and icy aura, the essence hidden in his body is blood, and in the ultra-rich blood, there is still a trace of blazing heat, which is quite contradictory.
"Forget it... Anyway, I don't need to worry about this, maybe it's a big shot. ”
"Stupid, I'll go out for a while."
Chen Yuan left the room, he knew that with Huff's character, if he asked directly, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything at this stage, so it was better to find it himself.
"Let me see where the Ancient Books section is..."
It was not difficult to find the royal library, and soon found the ancient books section, Chen Yuan found the administrator and asked for many keywords, and really found a copy for him.
'Bridge to the Edge of Destruction: Bridge of the Abyss'
"An area full of frost, an ancient environment full of fighting, that's right, this is it."
Chen Yuan was in a good mood, his brain was still quite bright, and after borrowing the books, Chen Yuan went all the way back to the room and started reading directly.
'Ancient battlefields... Remnants of intermittent plane links...'
"Hey, Bridge Keeper... Sure enough, it's a 'butcher', a 'blacksmith', a 'tailor'? What does this have to do with me? ”
"Huff asked me to come over obviously to let the 'blacksmith' know me, and the oppression may have a reason, but I don't have any connection to the Far North border..."
"Hmm..."
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yuan couldn't think of a reason at all.
The 'Blacksmith' is undoubtedly the Ice Bridge of the Abyss, which destroys the border, guarded by three 'Bridge Keepers' for generations, and may have something to do with the lighthouse at most, but it can't be related to itself anyway.
"It always feels... Did you ignore something again..."
.....
Three days later.
"Don't come back with a beating of and pee, I won't accept losers." Charles III said with his sword at Huff.
"My guys don't give up so easily, Charlie."
"Huh."
"Let's go, I hope your body can last a few more years."
After saying goodbye, the group embarked on the journey again, and the road was escorted by the army of the Duchy of Charles III until they walked out of the territory of the Duchy, Chen Yuan and the others rarely needed to be extra vigilant against the dangers on the road.
The next stop is the Moon Shadow City-State, the hometown of the Night Elves and the realm of the Night Lord.
