Chapter 47: Windfall
"After entering the secret realm, I want to act alone......"
"Why? Isn't it good for us to be together? Before Lin Xian could answer, Yeager shouted excitedly.
"I didn't know, we were happy together...... However, if I indulge in this kind of happiness and rely on Lin Xian every time I am in danger of life and death, it is impossible for my strength to increase! I entered the secret realm because I wanted to become stronger so that I could avenge my parents! Instead of going on a tour, play some adventure game! Igor said, feeling a little emotional. He seemed to answer Jaeger's question, and he seemed to explain something to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian stopped Yager, who was still going to speak, and said, "I respect your choice!" In fact, Zoya also said the same thing to me, and she will also act alone when she enters the secret realm this time! ”
"......" Yeager looked at Lin Xian in disbelief, and finally didn't say anything more. It's just a confused look, and he still doesn't seem to have thought clearly!
Lin Xian's words made Igor let go of the apprehension in his heart, and walked over and hugged Lin Xian heavily. Said solemnly: "Thank you!" ”
Although it is not yet time to separate, a faint sorrow has already flooded everyone's hearts. Jaeger also lost his previous noise, and silently boarded the minibus that came to pick up people.
The nearest city is almost three hours away by car. Zoya didn't seem to care about other people's eyes anymore, and sat with Lin Xian all the way, whispering and hugging intimately from time to time. Igor and Elsa are also sitting together, in a glue-like dog abuse mode. Only Yeager sat alone in the back row, looking preoccupied, and never said a word.
After coming to the city, the first batch of 88 students who entered the secret realm gathered, and then got on a plane non-stop, flew halfway around the world, and arrived at the capital of Peru on the South American continent. I don't know why, this adaptation training was actually set up in Peru.
Summer in Peru in December is the hottest time of the year. From the North Siberian ice field, where it is minus 30 degrees Celsius, to Lima, which is more than 30 degrees above zero. As soon as the trainees got off the plane, they were almost stunned by the heat wave, and they couldn't wait to get out of the airport and changed into summer clothes.
Even those who are preparing to explore the uncharted realm are exhausted after a long flight halfway around the world. But it's noon in Peru, and I can't sleep because of jet lag.
After lunch, Lin Xian and Zoya decided to take a stroll around Lima, they couldn't fly so far and come to the Peruvian capital to sit in a hotel for an afternoon, right?
Looking at Zoya who came out of the hotel room, Lin Xian was almost stunned! Zoya obviously dressed up, it seems that no matter how old or young women are, it is their nature to love beauty, especially when they go shopping.
A tight-fitting camisole, huh...... I don't know if it's a vest or underwear, although it's opaque, it's obvious that there's a vacuum inside. Let Zoya's perfect chest curve be even more moving!
A section of the waist is exposed, showing a few obvious abdominal muscles. Wearing a short pair of hot pants on the lower body with stylish flat sandals makes her long legs and hip curves so attractive! A pair of cool sunglasses and smooth and healthy sun-colored skin make for a tropical beauty with all kinds of charm!
The two walked hand in hand on the street, and Zoya was like a shining sun, attracting everyone's attention. Lin Xian even saw a taxi, because the driver was so engrossed in it, he crashed into a roadside trash can! And Lin Xian, like a sunspot on the sun, you can't see it without a high-powered telescope!
Zoya went shopping with Lin Xian for the first time, and the whole person was very excited, and her mouth kept talking. According to her, her ancestral home should be Colombia, not far from here. In order to take refuge during the global catastrophe, my great-grandfather came to Russia, and now he has returned to his hometown.
After 30 years of cataclysm, Lima's buildings were almost destroyed, but nearly 80 years of reconstruction have given her a new glow.
When the Peruvian people rebuilt their homes, they did so in accordance with the principle of restoring them to their original appearance as much as possible. Therefore, there are not many high-rise buildings in Lima City, even fewer than the second- and third-tier cities in China. But on both sides of the narrow streets, Inca architecture and Spanish-style Gothic architecture abound!
The Inca architecture is primitive and full of rugged beauty, while the Gothic architecture is delicate and ornate, and generally has high spires! There are also several buildings with Inca exterior walls, but inlaid with Gothic windows! Two completely different styles of architecture blend together in a strange and harmonious way!
The facades of the buildings, made of huge stone blocks, are covered with green moss under the erosion of the humid air of the South American continent. Lin Xian and Zhuoya held hands, walking in such streets and alleys, as if walking in a corridor where time stopped, and even the physical exhaustion of the long journey was forgotten!
"You know what? Machu Picchu in Peru also has a secret passage, but this secret realm is relatively small, and only thirty people can enter it at a time! Zoya said that she was in a very happy mood now, and even the parting that was about to come was all behind her.
"Really? What type of uncharted realm? ”
"I've heard that it's similar to the Inca Empire in ancient times. Indigenous humans worship Quetzalcoatl, and explorers learn some very strange sorcery in it! ”
"Witchcraft? What kind of power is that? I'd love to see it! Lin Xian heard about witchcraft for the first time and was very curious.
The two talked and laughed and walked several streets in a row. Slowly, I walked to the end of the alley at my feet. At the end of the alley is a T-junction that connects to a narrower alley.
The alleys are lined with small shops, usually without windows. Occasionally, a shop with a window is also tightly covered by thick curtains. At the entrance of the store, a thick blackout curtain blocked the view of pedestrians, and no one came out to greet customers or anything. It's completely different from the shops selling Peruvian souvenirs on the street!
In the sparsely populated alleys, Lin Xian looked at the signboards of various shops, which were painted with patterns similar to primitive totems, and said with some curiosity: "What are these small shops selling?" Why is it so mysterious? ”
"Looks like it's a witchcraft supply store."
"Witchcraft supplies? What is that? ”
"It's an item made by a secret explorer, and it contains the power of witchcraft. You can protect yourself, ward off evil spirits, or curse others! "It seems that Zoya knows a lot about the secrets of her hometown in South America, and she is very good at talking about it.
"How can explorers of the Uncharted Realm have free time to make utensils? Don't they cultivate? Lin Xian asked in surprise.
"Are you stupid? How could those explorers who had reached the age limit and could no longer enter the secret realm to cultivate have no time? The price of these special items is very high, in addition to violating the law and discipline, making such items is the fastest way to make money! You also have it in Huaxia, right? ”
"Then let's go inside, I'm very curious about witchcraft!"
Hearing Lin Xian say this, Zoya asked strangely, "Are you rich?" It's all said, it's expensive! ”
"No, but just to see if you don't need money, right?"
The two men were talking, opened the curtain of a shop, and walked in.
It's so tightly shielded, of course, the inside of the store isn't too bright. In the dimly lit room, a shelf stood against the wall. There are not many items on the shelves, probably only twenty or thirty pieces. On the table opposite the shelf, a table lamp was placed, which glowed dimly. An old man in a black robe sat quietly in front of a lamp, flipping through an old book in his withered hands.
This is really an old man, maybe more than a hundred years old. The wrinkles on his face are deep and dense, and he wears a pair of tortoiseshell-framed reading glasses. The top of the head is typical of the Mediterranean, with only some snow-white hair on the back of the head. The thin body sat on a chair, completely covered by a black robe.
"Do you have anything to do with the two customers?" The black-robed old man's voice was extremely hoarse, as if two pieces of sandpaper were constantly rubbing. Maybe because he looked at us like tourists and spoke English.
"We're just curious to see what's so strange about the witchcraft items." Lin Xian also replied in English.
"Oh, then you're at your own disposal." After speaking, the old man continued to flip through the book in his hand.
Lin Xian came to the shelves and saw that most of them were pendants, bracelets, earrings and other accessories. There are also some carved handles of various shapes, mainly animal shapes.
He casually picked up a small sculpture of a palm-sized cat's head, but he didn't see anything.
"It's a small ornament that is placed on the desk, which can make the mind clearer when studying." The old man's voice came. The strange thing was that he kept looking at the book in his hand, and he didn't look up at all to clearly know Lin Xian's actions.
Seeing no clue with his eyes, Lin Xian pasted the statue on the place where Yintang knew the sea and tried his spiritual power.
As soon as the statue was pasted to the Yin Hall, a galaxy illusion appeared in Lin Xian's sea space and slowly rotated. His spiritual power suddenly seemed to seep into the inside of the statue, and he saw that there seemed to be a white energy in the statue, which may be the power of witchcraft.
Just when Lin Xian's spiritual power infiltrated into the statue, the black-robed old man suddenly raised his head, his dim eyes seemed to brighten up all of a sudden, stared at Lin Xian and said, "It turned out that you are a fellow practitioner, I didn't expect you to have such strength at such a young age!" ”
Lin Xian hurriedly put down the statue and replied, "I'm not a secret explorer yet, but I will enter the secret realm next month!" ”
"That's even more remarkable, which secret realm will you enter next month? The Inca Secret Realm is still three months away. Is this lady too? ”
Zoya hurriedly said, "My name is Zoya, hello old man. Of course, my strength is not as good as his, but I am also about to enter the Nordic secret realm next month. ”
"Oh, it's the Nordic Secret Realm. You're going to the Andes for acclimatization, right? ”
Then the black-robed old man put down the book in his hand and communicated with Lin Xian. They learned that the old man was an explorer of the secret realm from a long time ago, and his name was Thomas.
Thomas was an adventurous teenager and became an explorer in secret places. But he doesn't seek great power, preferring to travel around, so he knows a lot about secret realms, and has been to more than one secret realm.
The three of them talked for a long time and got along very happily. Listening to Thomas's adventure, Lin Xian and the others felt very rewarded, and seeing that the time was not early, they were ready to say goodbye and leave.
Old man Thomas saw that the two were about to leave, and said, "I don't have anything suitable for you, but I got something in the Inca secret realm a long time ago, which is very suitable for this lady. With that, he pulled out a dusty box from under the table, took out a thin booklet and handed it to Zoya.
"This should be a book of Amazonian female warriors' cultivation methods, there are very few Amazonian female warriors in the Inca secret realm, and almost all of them practice witchcraft now. It's not useful to me, so I'll give it to you. ”
Zoya hurriedly excused herself, "Thank you, but I can't ask you for something so valuable." ”
Lin Xian grabbed Zoya and stopped her from continuing to excuse herself, reached out to take the booklet, and said, "Thank you, old man, I don't know if you need us to do anything?" ”
Ever since Zoya decided to enter the secret realm alone, Lin Xian had been a little worried. Now there is something that can make her improve her strength, of course she can't let it go!
The black-robed old man knew that they didn't want to take their things for nothing, so he thought for a moment and said, "I have a granddaughter who is also an explorer, and she is also going to the Nordic secret realm to find an opportunity to break through recently. If you do, I hope you can take care of it. Her name is Lannice and she is also an Amazonian warriorwoman. As soon as you meet, you should be easily recognizable! ”
Then he handed the two a bottle of blue liquid, told them that it was a potion left over from his granddaughter, and that it needed to be used in conjunction with the secret book, and then watched the two take their leave and leave.
Looking at the booklet and the blue liquid in his hand, Lin Xian said to Zoya: "You are about to enter the secret realm soon, you should try to improve your strength now!" When we have the ability in the future, let's thank Mr. Thomas again! ”
Zoya nodded, she was also very happy in her heart, she didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from a casual shopping trip......
