Chapter 11: Interlude (1)

The Shadow Realm of Baldur's Gate is undergoing a drastic transformation in the direction of semi-materialization.

Evinsda, or Twilight, sadly stood in the top floor room of the Friendly Arms Inn.

Lu Yuan's former room, in front of the bed where Lu Yuan slept the least.

She sneaked in with the "Sanctuary Technique".

The paper and documents scattered on the table, the horse lantern with the "inextinguishable flame" attached to it still glowing, and the quill pen still stained with ink. Everything seemed to be yesterday, if it weren't for Nini suddenly coming to her, she couldn't imagine Lu Yuan's disappearance, or disappearance......

There were traces of a man curled up asleep on the bed, but he was completely gone, leaving only an empty robe and underwear, in the shape of a lying place, and the transparent sand scattered on the bed and floor leaked inside. Crystal clear and fragile, with a light touch, it will crumble even more finely, down to dust.

Twilight's tears were dripping to the ground.

"Meow~" Nini, who stood on her right shoulder, called softly, licking her cheek and comforting her.

"You see Nini is okay, you should know that guy is fine. Nini told me that guy should have just left this world, you know that this kind of thing can easily happen - it is reasonable and logical to miss the dimensional teleportation or be kicked away by someone or something. ”

Twilight shook her head and gently picked up a handful of sand and put it in her backpack pocket, and the sand immediately began to collide and collapse as it piled up, turning into a finer transparent sand. She fastened her pockets and walked to the window to look up at the sky.

Everywhere she couldn't see, the sky kept stretching outward. In addition to the one representing Alona, the other constellations have also begun to turn from illusory to solid. Believing that theocracy had been established, believers in God could not help but begin to pray frequently. And there are other large-scale changes taking place in the world. For example, while the merchants of Waterdeep, Am, and even Karatu always pass through Sword Bay and pass through Baldur's Gate, no one from Sword Bay has ever reached those places. But today, Sir Karajan sailed into Baldur's Gate with two large ships full of Merchandise from Waterdeep! As the first Jianwan native to explore the outside world, he caused quite a stir.

The world is becoming vast, the world is becoming lofty, and the world is becoming real.

But Ah Yuan, where are you?

***********************

The alley of the Gate of Balder, an inconspicuous doorway.

Ding Mumu wore a man's adventure costume and cloak. Leaning against the wall by the door, he kicked the wall behind him with his heels as if he had nothing to do. Suddenly, the wall opened back, Ding Mumu didn't go down, she just jumped lightly and entered the door steadily.

The walls were then closed.

"Who are you? Who told you here? A deep voice asked.

Ding Mumu took out a letter, "A magician named Lu Yuan entrusted me to hand over the letter to the guild's Black Lily. ”

"Come, I'm Black Lily."

Ding Mumu flipped his hand and grabbed it.

"No, no, no, you're not a black lily. You are Nicholas. Kurolily-sama, it's your sister. ”

"Damn, who the hell are you? The Grand Duke's mansion was burglarized, and the whole city was full of panic. Take your hood off. Nicholas said with a sinister face, licking the blade of the dagger.

"That would cut your tongue." Ding Mumu said sincerely.

"What? Alas! Does Ni really know that the Tao will cut the toe of the shoe? ”

"Because Ah Yuan said it. Nicholas is stupid and cute. ”

"Humph!" Nicholas covered his mouth and stopped talking, and motioned to Ding Mumu to follow with an unhappy expression. Turned around and walked into a dark passage.

"That's right, Nicholas. You just said that the Grand Duke's castle was stolen? What did they lose? Jewelry or chastity? ”

“…… Castle, they lost the whole castle and disappeared out of thin air! Ha Luha, early the next morning, the whole family slept beautifully in the open space, hell, it must have been done by the Devil Grand Duke! Everybody knows that the castle is damn gorgeous, and I bet I won't find a better one in the whole of Sword Bay, and it's not surprising that it arouses the devil's coveting......"

In response to him, there was an inexplicable whistle, and Ding Mumu's eyes were diated like a weak heart.

Black Lily is still the same as before, the old black leather armor that has not changed for several years, with plump and slender thighs on the table, shaking the chair with only two legs on the ground. The knife hovering between his fingers and grooming his nails.

"Who are you? Looking for me? Black Lily asked without raising her head.

"Lord Black Lily, this is a letter from Master Lu Yuan to you, and he will make everything clear in the letter. By the way, that will hurt you in the face. Ding Mumu still said sincerely.

Black Lily shook the chair more noncommittally, grabbed Lu Yuan's letter and tore it open, and looked at it casually. As soon as she read a few words, she froze and flew out of the knife without control, brushing Nicholas's face and nailing it to the wooden door. Then there was a crackling sound, and the chair toppled over, knocking Black Lily to her stomach.

Nicholas looked at Ding Mumu with strange eyes, "You are the legendary crow's mouth?" ”

At this time, the angry Black Lily got up, grabbed Ding Mumu's collar and pulled it over and shouted, "Is that bastard's brain burned?!" I even asked you to be my apprentice! ”

"Yes, yes, Ah Yuan is such a person. Please take care of it in the future, Kuroli...... Master. ”

************

In the forest temple, the dusty Twilight Star has just returned from outside.

"Twilight? How did you come back at this time? A priestess asked in surprise, it was already the tail end of summer, and in previous years, Twilight had been helping with the autumn harvest in the villages of the Northlands, and had never been seen in the temple.

"It's just...... Passing by, by the way, how long have I been away? What's going on at the temple? Twilight asked, a little nervous. In the four years since Lu Yuan's disappearance, Twilight Star has searched all the places related to him, but without finding any clues, he has disappeared out of thin air and for no reason. But the drastic changes that have taken place in the world are still in her eyes. But what made her nervous was that no one but her could see the change.

Like the Ser Karajan at Baldur's Gate, who was still cheering his return from Waterdeep the day before. By the time Twilight arrives at Baldur's Gate, the news has changed - Karajan's ancestors had carved out the passage to Waterdeep many years ago, and still hold secret charts of shortcuts to the sea as heirlooms. Sir Karajan was but an inconspicuous member of this generation of seafaring families.

There is no trace of the celebration half a month ago.

In addition to this, the bigger thing is the change in time, and she finds that the length of time that everyone feels becomes very different, and it seems to be ...... The closer the person is to her, the longer the length of time it feels. For example, the boss of the Friendly Arm, when he asked, Lu Yuan just "liked to stay by himself for two days, he used to be like this". (To be continued......)
