Chapter 39: Squirrels

The elemental tide had just receded, and the creatures in the swamp had not returned to the land ravaged by the tide so quickly, at least for the time being, it seemed that Liu Li's environment was safe for a while. But even so, there is always a trace of gloom in Liu Li's heart. Regarding Eve's caravan, Liu Li didn't do much inquire, and the ambiguous attitude of the two empires made the number of caravans going to Sin City increase day by day. Kronos's side is a little better, for the Huangyu Empire in the East, this swamp can be said to be their largest source of black elemental materials. In fact, Liu Li had already noticed that there were vague spell fluctuations coming out of the carriage that Eve was riding in, and the flow of black elements was also affected all the time, which was definitely not the fluctuations that the spellcaster could emit. However, Liu Li always felt that Eve's caravan was just a passerby in his life, so he did not continue to explore the secrets. Now that I think about it, even when the entire team was about to be wiped out, Eve, as a second-order martial artist, did not leave her carriage, perhaps for this reason. But more importantly, Liu Li finally noticed the feeling that he had ignored before, and now he boldly thought about it, maybe even this elemental tide was caused by that unknown object. Why such a dangerous item was sent by Eve to Sin City, and what kind of impact it would have on his mission after being sent to Sin City, these were all things that Liu Li was worried about.

A faint moan interrupted Liu Li's thoughts, but it was clear that he still underestimated the reaction speed of the girl he had rescued. Liu Li only felt a pain in her right leg, and the girl who was lying next to her had already retreated to the corner of the carriage. Looking at the dagger poked at the calf of her right leg, Liu Li couldn't help but be afraid for a while, the girl was just out of self-preservation, avoiding the main blood vessels and meridians, otherwise this leg would definitely be useless if she was someone else. Not to mention that since the girl has the opportunity to pierce the calf with a dagger, the success rate of replacing the target with a key point such as the heart must not be too low, and it will not be just a matter of wasting a leg.

"Well, she should have taken all her weapons away. Looking at the vigilance and precaution revealed in the girl's red eyes, Liu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. Directly pulled out the dagger poked in the calf, Liu Li ignored the wound that was surging blood, out of confidence in his physique, this kind of small wound Liu Li didn't particularly care. However, the girl in front of her really surprised and surprised Liu Li, and the reason for the surprise was not because of the harm she caused herself, but because of ...... She opened her mouth to say a word, a sentence that Liu Li didn't understand at all.

The talent that Liu Li brought with him when he crossed over was not only "coming back from the dead", but also the "talent omniscience" that Old Wells had told him that he himself often used in battle. In fact, "omniscience" is a very magical state, and in this world, there are not a few people who have comprehended "omniscience". As he delved deeper into the study of spells, the mage's connection with the elements became stronger, and he was even able to see the flow of the elements with the naked eye. In the process of gradually comprehending "omniscience", the senses will also become more acute, and they will be able to detect the emergence of abnormal states one step earlier. But when it comes to "innate omniscience", it is completely different, and it can even be said to be rare in a century. People who possess the ability to be "gifted with omniscience" are often referred to as "omniscient". They don't need to go through a long period of practice, they can enter the state of "omniscience" by virtue of their talent alone, and not only that, but they are also far beyond ordinary people in terms of memory of the things they have been exposed to. It may be too much to say that you will never forget it, but it is still okay to remember the books you have read and the news you have heard.

Liu Li, who has the ability of "innate omniscience", has never slackened in the past three years, especially in the cultivation of spellcasters. Mages are not just a warrior, they are some of the most knowledgeable people in the world. Especially Liu Li, as a traveler, started to learn from language, and has some understanding of the languages of various races in this world, although he can't know the languages of all races, but the languages he has heard can at least tell which race he belongs to, even some slang is no exception. But the girl with a pair of red eyes in front of her, the language she just spoke, Liu Li had never heard of.

However, the situation in front of him could not tolerate Liu Li's continued hesitation, the aggressiveness of the girl in front of him was something Liu Li had never thought of before. Reciting the incantation silently, a black hole suddenly appeared, blocking the girl's vision and smashing towards her. Liu Li didn't want to cause any harm to her, but wanted to imprison her through the black hole like she had done with the swamp crocodile before. Facing the sudden appearance of the spell girl, she was also shocked, judging from Liu Li's dress, no one could have imagined that this young man dressed as a mercenary would be a spellcaster. In addition, the space in the carriage is not large, and the girl who has just woken up and is still in a weak state has no way to dodge, and is directly imprisoned by the black hole. However, her current state is extremely happy, the black hole reveals the girl's head, and behind the black hole, there is a tail that is flicking in a panic.

Although the girl's current state is indeed quite cute, Liu Li still regrets it, why not raise the scope of the black hole a little more, at least cover her mouth, even if due to the tide, there will be no dangerous creatures nearby for the time being, but let her continue to shout, she will still feel a headache.

Keep casting spells, and psychic communication begins. Liu Li was very impressed by this spell, this was the first complete spell he had seen since he came to this world, and it was cast by Old Wells when he first picked him up in order to make it more convenient for communication. And now, it is finally his turn to cast this spell on others, in fact, Liu Li has a faint guess in his heart that makes him excited - this imprisoned girl is afraid that she is the same as herself and does not belong to this world.

"Necromancer, what are you going to do to me!Let go of me!" The girl's shouts in his mind almost didn't knock Liu Li out, but hearing such a neutral voice, Liu Li's heart was a little wider, at least for now, it seems that the girl's physical condition will not be a big problem.

"Necromancer?" Liu Li wondered, although he was often addicted to online novels before crossing over, he was no stranger to this word that could be understood literally. But after crossing over, I have never heard of a spellcaster fighting with undead creatures, nor have I heard of the existence of such a thing as a skeleton zombie in this world. This also made Liu Li more sure that this girl, like him, did not belong to this world. But there is another strange point, the girl contains a small amount of black elements, which are essentially indistinguishable from the black elements in this world, but they give people a completely different feeling. If the black element of this world gives people the feeling of calmness, then the black element that exists in the girl can only be described by the word decay.

"Calm down, I'm not a necromancer, and I've never even heard of this profession. ”

"Don't lie to me anymore, you obviously have the fluctuation of the death element in your body, and my feeling is definitely not wrong...... Huh?" the girl suddenly quieted down, staring at Liu Li tightly with red eyes, "It seems to be a little different...... Ahh However, from the content of the girl's shouting, Liu Li also knew one thing, her world also has black elements, and the meaning of black elements is death.

"You're really not a necromancer?" The girl's beautiful red eyes did not fade away, but Liu Li's behavior of just controlling her actions and not causing any harm to her still made her gradually regain a trace of calm. "But you're using the death elemental to cast magic...... Well, it feels a little different, but it's a death element, yes, I wouldn't be mistaken. Also, when are you going to let me go. ”

"Okay, this ...... Uh, miss, if you can promise not to do it again, I can undo it. Liu Li didn't want to keep imprisoning the girl opposite, the consumption of magic power was on the one hand, and the reason on the other hand was that the space in the carriage was already limited, and now it was occupied by more than half of the black hole, and Liu Li himself felt that the space that could move was a bit narrow. Although the black hole was a spell cast by Liu Li, he still couldn't get used to the feeling of half his body being trapped in it.

"Okay, okay, I don't do it, let me go!"

"Okay, then let me introduce myself now, I'm Liu Li, a first-order intermediate mage. The place we are in is a swampy area on the border between the Kronos Empire and the Huangyu Empire. Who are you and where are you from?" Liu Li couldn't completely determine the guess in his heart for the time being, and continued to probe tentatively, never mentioning that this girl had fallen out of her black hole.

"Kronos, Huangyu, why haven't I heard of these two countries? The girl's puzzled tone made Liu Li finally confirm her guess, she really did not belong to this world. "I remember being hunted down by a necromancer, and I didn't dodge the necromantic confinement he cast, I was grabbed by those abominable bone claws, and then I woke up again and was here. The girl was still wary of Liu Li, and after a while she continued: "My name is Xisaiya......"

After a brief introduction, Liu Li and Xisaiya can be regarded as acquaintances, but the two people who are defensive of each other do not have more communication about their origins and identities. Anyway, Liu Li had already made up her mind to take her back to Landolia, although after the initial exchange, Liu Li knew that her origin was not the other world she imagined, but a place closely related to this world, but it was undeniable that this was also a kind of crossing, at least the place where she once lived was definitely not within the scope of Liu Li's knowledge.

Interestingly, according to Sisaiya, her name means "squirrel" in their language, including in the psychic communication, and the image she depicts is no different from the squirrel that Liu Li knows. But listening to her proud tone, she seemed very happy with the name.
