When Qin Qi opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on a wooden bed covered with a soft quilt, and he was in a strange room. He was a little confused, and thought that he was still on the boat, and got up from the bed, but when he heard the door being pushed open, he quickly collapsed and continued to pretend to sleep. A woman in a long dress with long hair walked in from outside, holding water and food in her hands, placing them on the table at the head of the bed, and leaning down and touching Qin Qi's forehead.

Qin Qi smelled a faint fragrance, and couldn't help but open his eyes, at such a close distance, what entered his line of sight was a pair of big eyes that were full of tenderness. Qin Qi was fascinated like this, the intoxicated appearance startled the woman, and the woman hurriedly raised her head, her face flushed, her mouth seemed to have a stone in her mouth, and she was embarrassed and speechless.

After calming down, the woman introduced herself: "I am Lingyue, the granddaughter of Bethlito, thank you very much for saving me last night." ”

After Qin Qi heard the woman's words, he hurriedly sat up, bowed his head to Lingyue, bent down and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you like that just now." Last night's incident...

"That's her own trouble, and she's thankful for you." Bethlito came in through the door, a smile on his face. "Did you sleep well last night? This place should be okay, right? ”

"It's a nice place, but why am I here? I can't even remember what happened last night. Qin Qi touched his head and said.

"You're on top of the treehouse I built right now." Bethleto said to Qin Qi.

Lingyue handed the cup to Qin Qi and said, "You fainted after you came out of the water last night, and it was the captain Ulantu who carried you back. He also asked me to tell you one thing when you woke up. ”

"What's the matter?"

"He invited you to join the border guards." Baillito sipped his pipe comfortably, "Tuke is seriously injured, and the border guards are no longer able to patrol normally. He admires your incredible strength, and you've fought the Lion-Faced Beast. ”

"Let me join the border guards?" Qin Qi was a little surprised and said, "I just killed a lion-faced beast, and besides, I can't even use a sword." ”

Bethlito put down his pipe, frowned, stared at the floor, and said, "No, no, the lion is not dead, although you wrung its head off, it is still alive. ”

"Why?" Lingyue asked curiously.

"There has always been a lion-faced beast in this world, no more and no less." Baillito shook his head. Although Qin Qi killed the Lion-Faced Beast, at the same time, the Lion-Faced Beast's soul would attach itself to his body, slowly devouring his soul like a parasite. In the end, Qin Qi will also turn into a lion-faced beast. ”

"What?" Qin Qi looked at Bethlito with wide eyes, and he felt that this joke was too big.

"Is there no way to save him?" Lingyue covered her chest with her hands, her eyes showing pity.

"I can't help it," Berlito shrugged, "the Limmon is such a parasitic dark creature, and if I'm not mistaken, last night the Lionon probably didn't think it could kill you, so it deliberately sent it to die, trying to get a new host for itself." ”

"How long will it be before I'll turn into a lion-faced beast?" Qin Qi's expression was solemn.

"I don't know much about that, but I have a piece of advice for you," Bethlito leaned forward, "The Lion is a creature born of darkness, darkness is the source of its power, and it needs anger to live. You have to control your anger, and the more angry you are, the stronger the Limmon will be, and the stronger its control over you. ”

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you're the way you are." Lingyue stroked Qin Qi's shoulder.

"In that case," Qin Qi pondered for a while, and said, "I have something to tell you, I hope you won't be surprised, and at the same time I need your help." First of all, I'm not like you, I'm not from this world. ”

After Liberto and Lingyue listened to Qin Qi's words, the two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes full of confusion. Qin Qi then told Berlito and Lingyue how he got to this place and his own world.

"Hmm~ young man, your situation is very special." Baillito squinted his pipe and looked out the window, which was now crowded with bright morning light. "If you want to return to your world, you probably have to find that compass."

Qin Qi suddenly remembered the compass drawing that Luo Fangshi had given him. He hurriedly pulled it out of his body and handed it to Bethlito.

Bethleto took the drawing and watched it carefully in the sun, and Lingyue also lowered her head to watch it along. After a long while, Bethlito raised his head and talked to Qin Qi about his thoughts.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is an ancient instrument, and you look at the symbols engraved around the compass, which is the Fashi script of the time of Beran, and there are not many people in this world who can understand it."

"When is the Beran era?" Qin Qi asked.

"Beran was the first Dharma King of the Priest Country, and he united all the Priests to create the Priest Kingdom. That was almost a thousand years ago. Lingyue said to Qin Qi.

"A thousand years ago? Can you find the utensils of that time now? Qin Qi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he hoped to find the compass.

"It's unlikely," Baillito shook his head again, "there aren't many things left from that time, and most of them have been buried with the leaders of that era. If you want to find these utensils, you can't do so unless you break into the mausoleum, however, the mausoleum has a grave keeper. ”

"Or you can go to some wizards, who usually have a few treasures hidden themselves." Lingyue added on the side.

"Is there a difference between the wizard you are talking about and you?" Qin Qi asked.

"Of course there is a difference," Ling Yue raised her voice, "Wizards are people who are born with mana, but mages are meant to be trained, and mages' mana comes from our staffs, and without staffs, we don't have mana." Of course, there are some special ones, that is, the people of the Lott family, they are all natural mages. ”

"The Lott family?" Qin Qi's face was puzzled and puzzled.

"It seems that I have to explain to you the situation in this world before I can communicate with you normally." Baillito handed the cup on the table to Qin Qi, Qin Qi tasted a small sip of the liquid in the cup, and immediately felt refreshed, and the strength of his body was slowly recovering. "First of all, there is such a legend about this world."

Bertto took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, the sparks flashing on his battered face, and after a few coughs, he began his story.

"God created this world a long time ago, and his two sons received his command to come to this continent and help the people of this continent to become civilized. The eldest son taught people how to make tools, how to create new crafts; The younger son taught people how to make staffs, how to use spells, and how to use mana to survive. As a result, the people gradually divided into two distinct races, the spirits and the mages. ”

"Later, these two sons of the gods left their descendants on the mainland, and after several generations, the descendants of the eldest son, a leader named Qi Luoma, conquered the plains, established the kingdom of the spirits, and handed over the country to his seven soldiers to manage, thus forming the current seven soldiers' cities; The descendants of the younger son, a leader named Beran Lot, led his people to gather in the mountains, built the air acropolis on the Honggu River, Kannan City, and with the continuous efforts of his descendants, he expanded his territory and subjects, forming the current country of Fashi. ”

Speaking of this, Bethlito raised the staff in his hand and put it in Qin Qi's hand, Qin Qi took the staff, stroked the staff with his hand, and carefully observed the lines on the surface of the staff, his hand was like a magnet, and the staff was tightly sucked in the palm of his hand.

"There were also great and small contradictions between the spirits and the priests, and the sense of superiority made neither the spirits and the priests unwilling to submit to the other, so the war was inevitable until Alenfa Lott succeeded him as the king. Allenfa Lott and the then king of the Spirit Kingdom, Tali Loma, declared an armistice, forming an alliance to rule the continent together peacefully in accordance with the will of the gods. However, there will always be a few stones that break the calm of the lake. ”

"When Allenfa's grandson, Lix Lot, succeeded him as King of France, Bard, one of the three kings of the Priest Kingdom, founded the Society of the Blackstone Staff, which refers to Beran Lot's staff, a staff of great mana, but only those of the Lott bloodline can unleash its power. Bard founded this new assembly to demonstrate the superiority of the priests, belittle the spirits, and increase the contradictions between the spirits and the monks. Later, Badxin was executed for assassinating the half-blood king Lex, and the Blackstone Staff Society was restricted. However, the Blackstone Staff has survived due to the continued recruitment of mages among the nobility, and it has finally ushered in its heyday. ”

"Twenty years ago, the Blackstone Staff welcomed their highest-ranking member, Crown Prince Nordland Lot. Nordland's radical ideas led his father to abolish his status as heir and banish him to an isolated island. Nordland summoned the seven guardian mages of the Blackstone Staff Society on the isolated island, and led the mages and dark creatures of the Blackstone Staff Society to attack the Mage Kingdom and the Spirit Man Kingdom, bringing great disasters to this continent. However, the alliance of spirits and mages eventually defeated Nordland's rabble, and Nordland himself was killed in the war. Peace has come again, and it continues to this day. ”

"That's the end of the story, now you should know what kind of world you're in, right?" Berlito looked at Qin Qi with a smile on his face and continued to pick up his pipe.

"Well, I think I already have a rough idea." Qin Qi sighed and glanced up at Ling Yue, only to find that Ling Yue had been looking at him with a very strange look.

Lingyue stood by the bed and carefully examined Qin Qi's appearance, and also touched her face, and after a while, she asked Bethleto in a matter-of-fact manner, and said, "Bethleto, Qin Qi is not in the same world as us?" How is this possible? You see how much he looks like us. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to stare at Qin Qi and said in an interrogative tone, "You don't want to deceive the two of us, do you?" ”

Qin Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can I have this leisure, the lion-faced beast is about to kill me." ”

"Well, you can still believe it, at least you're still a good person." Ling Yue changed back to the compassionate gaze she had just now and looked at Qin Qi.

"If you want to go back, you'll have to deal with the lion-faced parasitism in you first," said Burlito, "and in that case, I think you might consider Captain Ulantu's invitation." After all, you can take this opportunity to learn more things. Maybe it will help you go back to some extent. Plus, I'll help you find traces of these ancient artifacts. ”

"Thank you very much." Qin Qi bowed to Bethlito very seriously.

After listening to Bethlito's story, Qin Qi began to slowly understand this world, he realized that this was not a world with advanced science, but a place lower than his own world, but the same thing as mana was indeed a fortunate thing, and it might be the only way to help him go home.

Thinking of this, he changed his staff to Bethlito, walked from the bed to the floor, stretched his muscles, and swept away the food on the table. He learned from Bethleto about the path to the border guards, and it happened that Lingyue was going to the bazaar to buy some things to celebrate the upcoming festival to commemorate the victory in the war twenty years ago, so Qin Qi followed Lingyue to the town of Changhu Town.

After sending Qin Qi and Lingyue away from the treehouse, Berlito quietly walked to his room and took out a note, which read: "The prophecy has been fulfilled, please send someone to retrieve the treasure." He rolled the note into a metal ring and tied it to the feet of a carrier pigeon, releasing it out the window. The carrier pigeon soon disappeared into the jungle.
