Chapter 16: It's Back
"And along the road all the way to the east, you will find another strange country, where the people are in the desert, the ideas are not yet united, and the ambitious young man is preparing to lead the whole nation with his scimitar and the scriptures, but he will first face the mighty dynasty -- Persia"
Rowena nodded, unlike her companions, she had a love of knowledge, so she also knew about the country called Persia, which was recorded in the story of the Persian war with Greece.
Then Li Yi said again:
"Further east from Persia, you have two options, go south or go north. Choose the warm south and you will encounter a fortunate and unfortunate civilization that is backed by the most spectacular mountains in the world, and to the south is close to the ocean, and a large river passes through her territory, giving birth to countless people. It is known as India or Tianzhu. Where now, a new kind of thinking is being challenged. ”
"If you go north, from the north, you can see that there are large and small countries scattered in the desert, swirling and dying. Among them, there may be a powerful overlord who will lead them against the nomads further east. ”
"Continue through the nomads, and you will find a surprisingly strong civilization, hot-blooded, brave, honest, upright, wise, fearless, courteous, merciful, and daring to spill blood for the sake of the ideal...... The good side of almost all human beings can be seen. It was a magical land and my hometown. ”
In the end, Li Yi's expression was elated at first, but when he talked about his hometown, he suddenly dimmed.
"So, Yi, did you come here from that magical country?" Rowena asked Li Yi curiously.
Li Yi was inspired and explained to them: "No, I am an orphan and have never met my parents, but I have had a book with me since I was a child, which is a diary that records my parents' adventures. But I dropped it in the brazier, and it was gone. But this notebook made me feel that my parents might be legendary. ”
In order to continue to blind these people, Li Yi fabricated a pair of parents who were great adventurers.
Hearing Li Yi's "tragic" life experience, the sensual and kind-hearted Helga looked at Li Yi with a softer gaze.
"Then the reason why you're trying so hard to help Cherie is just to make her not be like you? You're such a good person. Helga praised Li Yi.
"Yes, that feeling of not having parents should not be borne by her, a little girl who is not yet an adult." Li Yi pretended to be choked up and agreed.
"My dream is to be a great adventurer, do you want to see those brilliant civilizations? Li Yi sent invitations to several people.
"I'm honored." Rowena's thirst for knowledge made it impossible for her to turn down the opportunity to travel to a wider continent. The other three agreed, they were all teenagers, and they didn't want to be able to go out and have a trip. What's more, the strength of several of them is not Gai, and they can use magic, and they have more advantages and capital than ordinary people to explore the world.
It's just that before that, the world in their eyes was only England, and at most they had a little impression of Rome. Now that I have heard that the world is so vast, how can I not arouse the desire to explore?
"Okay, so now we're companions. Then the first stop, let's decide to be the Mermaid Castle, just in time to send Merlin over. Li Yi said to a few people.
A few days later, several people walking on the water with magic looked at Li Yi with suspicion. Godric spoke first: "Yi, are you really sure it's here?" ”
"Trust me." Li Yi's voice was full of determination.
He pulled out the scale that Cherie had given him and channeled his magic into it. The scales buzzed as they were infused with mana, and suddenly turned into a red light and rushed into the water.
Not long after, two mermaids slowly rose in the water, and it was none other than the two sisters, Selena and Cherie.
"Yi, you're back, have you found my dad? I miss him so much. Cherie surfaced and saw Li Yi and kindly stepped forward to ask him.
Selena was a little more mature, and she noticed the Godric Four behind Li Yi, as well as a white-bearded old man beside him. "Who are they?" Selena asked Li Yi about the identities of several people.
"These four young men are my companions, and I will introduce you in detail when I go down. As for this guy, he's the surprise I brought to you, and you'll find out later. Li Yishen answered Selena mysteriously.
"Okay, you come with me." Selena didn't care much when she saw that Li Yi didn't want to say more, she and Cherie held up a big bubble together, let several people stand in the bubble, and then manipulated the bubble to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Helga was amazed at the beauty of the ocean that they could not see in their home.
As the bubbles dropped, the sea water outside gradually darkened, slowly turning into darkness that could not be seen, and only the bubbles were still full of light.
After a while, the outside environment changed again, the darkness gradually receded, and the light returned. What caught the eyes of several people was the castle of the mermaid clan.
After Selena entered the castle with a few people, Li Yi said to Salazar and them:
"Why don't you take a stroll around the castle now, and I'll talk to the castle's owner, Grand Wizard Vivien, about something."
Salazar and the others agreed, this was their first time at the bottom of the sea, and they were very curious about everything around them. What's more, these things are between Merlin and his family, and there is no reason for them to get involved.
So Selena called a few servants and asked them to lead the four of them around the castle.
After the group left, Li Yi led Merlin to the main hall of the castle, where Vivien and Cherry's other four sisters were waiting for them.
Walking to the door, Li Yi let go of Merlin: "If you are still a man, open the door and walk in by yourself." After saying that, he walked up behind Cherie and Selena and said to them, "This is your family business, I won't go in, you can follow him in." Let's have a good talk between you father and daughter. ”
Hearing this, Cherie and Selena still didn't know the identity of the old man in front of them.
He's Merlin!
Merlin stood in the doorway and hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and pushed the door open and walked in, while Selena and Cherie also ran in and ran to their sisters.
"Do you dare to come back?" Vivien's faint voice rang out.
"yes, I'm back." Merlin's reply was only one sentence, but it seemed to be lacking in confidence.
What happened next was not very clear to Li Yi, and he was not interested in snooping on other people's privacy.
