Chapter 704: Fateful Encounter......
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that world, right?"
"That world! Well, I guess there's no problem. Because the time will slowly synchronize after the two worlds are connected to each other, in order not to interfere with your planning, we don't even have very few observations, but there should be no problem. What's the situation? β
"No, I sensed the time was ripe."
"Oh? Since you reincarnated them in that world, you've gone through a lot of missions in that world, and you haven't been to that world again. You can actually feel it, that is"
"That's right, of course, I can't sense them after returning to the main god space, but as soon as I enter the mission world, I can sense them. In the current situation, even if I release all my Heroic Spirits from Valhalla, even after returning to the main god space, they will still be my people. As soon as I enter the mission realm, as long as nothing happens, I can immediately reconnect and return to my Valhalla. And they also have my 'safety device' on them, so I don't have to worry about their lives. β
"So, you can give them all to us!? Rest assured, we'll take good care of them! β
"Heh, don't shake me anymore, I originally planned to let them be active in the reincarnation realm. They didn't mean much by following me, but they restrained themselves. They've learned enough from me now, and they can only grow through battle. Anyway, I can call them back at any time, and they can 'see' my realm at any time through Valhalla. But don't get me wrong, they're just there to help. It's not for you! β
"Oh, I know! Don't pinch my face~ Alayah, come and help me~~~"
"No, are you going to go to that world?"
"Ah, it's nice to let them grow up like this, but I still want to see it with my own eyes and guide them to push that boundary. They're my masterpieces! β
From the beginning of the first world realm, it has been brewing until now, and the fruits planted can finally be harvested, and Wu Jian is also excited.
"So, this world."
"Of course, I still can't escape the shackles of the Lord God. The task of this world realm must be accomplished. Try to procrastinate as much as possible. I'll leave most of the Heroic Spirits here, so be careful, I don't want anything to disturb my fun. β
"I know that this world has been controlled by us. There shouldn't be any problems. β
"That's good."
That was the end of the conversation. Wu Jian prepared to leave. But Saori stopped him and asked, "Both you and we are on the right track, and it will probably be difficult to change our policy in the future." So I'm going to ask clearly. What about the other reincarnators? Listen to Zhang Tao, most of the reincarnators are your people. β
"Heh, have you forgotten what we confirmed earlier? Depending on the situation, I will even be in opposition to you, let alone the reincarnators. You don't have to ask me about these things, just do what you think. In fact, in order for the reincarnation to become stronger as soon as possible, combat is essential. β
"I see."
The dividing line of the world
Don't get me wrong, this is actually the name of a village.
This is the name given to it by the adventurers, that is, by the mercenaries.
This village is very special because unlike other villages, it was built to avoid dangerous places, and it sits right on the edge of the Mermaid Crossing, the largest and most dangerous forest on the mainland.
This Mermaid Forest doesn't mean that there are mermaids in it, but when viewed from above, it looks like a mermaid. However, whether it is true or not, everyone does not know the way. Because the Mermaid Forest is really too big, it almost occupies the northwest part of the continent. Although there are some strong people who try to fly into the sky to see, there is a gang wind composed of elemental currents in the sky, and no one can do it at all. The name Mermaid Forest has been handed down from the age of mythology.
Okay, let's get back to the starting point village, why was this village built in this dangerous place? You have to know that even if it is a periphery, this is very dangerous. And no one in this village knows when it was founded.
There are all kinds of speculations, but the most acceptable one is such a legend: a long time ago, it should have been after Ragnarok, after the various races on the mainland defeated the demons, all kinds of industries were waiting to be developed, and it was the time when various resources were urgently needed. At that time, mercenaries were on the rise and a large number of famous adventurers emerged. In order to follow the footsteps of the gods, and for the next hegemony, various forces have sent people into here to kill the demon beasts to seize the magic core, as well as all kinds of elixirs and ores in this forest.
But the forest, known as the hunting ground of the gods, is not for nothing, and many adventurers, known as mercenaries in this era, have died here. Of course, strictly speaking, it can only be said that they are missing, although everyone knows that the road is more than lucky, but there are still people who want to believe that they are not dead. That's the adventurer's loved ones.
Unwilling to believe that their loved ones had died, some relatives dared to venture to the city - some say that this was a symbol of the rise of mercenary culture, because not everyone had the strength to enter the forest, so these people who did not want to believe that their loved ones were dead hired other adventurers.
However, at that time, because of two disasters, all races were in decline. The adventurers who entered this forest had already done their best to protect themselves, not to mention the others. So no matter what the relatives say or how much they are paid, most of the adventurers will only send them to the periphery.
Then it was originally a place for adventurers to stay, and they didn't have to worry about living and eating for the time being. Then these relatives settled here, hoping to see their relatives back one day. And these people who have nothing to do are just doing logistics for the well-meaning adventurers here, such as cooking and building houses. It's getting more and more presentable here.
Then there were relatives who came to visit, and they gathered here. Gradually, a certain scale was formed.
Of course, there is also deep historical significance for this to happen. Humanity (most of the people gathered here) have experienced two catastrophes, and enough people have died, so many families simply cannot bear the pain of losing their loved ones β either orphans, widows, or elderly or pregnant women. Even the gods can't turn to them for help, and they only have this ethereal hope left, and they come here to have a spiritual sustenance.
And at that time, people were not as indifferent as they are now (the main thing is that there are fewer conflicts of interest, after all, people are almost dead, and there is no need to fight for anything with so many resources), and those adventurers see these people as pitiful as they can, and try their best to help them in the scope of help. Over time, a village was formed.
Until now. Although all the people of that time were dead. But there are still some descendants who have survived. For these future generations, this is their homeland, and they will not leave easily. In addition, after the village became famous, more people came. After all, in every era, there will be adventurers who are the pillars of the family who die. Their only, only loved ones have nowhere to go. That's all I have to come here - again, people always love to dream, dreaming that one day their "missing" relatives will come back.
And what about this starting point village. Nominally, it is part of the Pearl Kingdom. What do you say about the name, that's because you can't tell the starting point and the pearl first.
However, the starting point village doesn't care about the country it belongs to after all, since it is close to the Pearl Country, it is the Pearl Country, and there is no other country adjacent to it anyway - if you want to say that it is adjacent, it can also be said that the orcs in the north of the continent are the closest. However, the orcs in the north happened to be stopped by the mermaid forest in the northwest. However, the adjacent parts of orcs and humans are either powerful or dangerous, and there is no need to worry about attacking.
Speaking of the Pearl Country, this is a country ruled by the Empress, and it is also the most economically developed and prosperous country on the continent with the most prosperous mercenary career, and it is also a completely neutral country. The country's standard coins are common to the world (of course, it is supported by a certain top power, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of the world world. Because without its own army, the nations will not embarrass it, and whoever attacks it will be spurned by the world.
But it's not to be bullied. As I said before, the most developed place for mercenaries is here, and the headquarters of seventy percent of the mercenary groups on the continent are located here, and the most powerful mercenary groups are not even weaker than any country when combined. And the Pearl royal family has such a reputation that it can allow these mercenary groups to unite against the enemy - theoretically, because no one will attack it.
The only specialties of the country are the specialties of the Mermaid's Forest, and the rest of the land is neither fertile nor of military significance. If there is, it occupies the entrance to the Mermaid Forest - the Mermaid Forest is very large, but there are more weak monsters in the starting point village, which is just right for building a city on the edge.
Well, speaking of the starting point village, the popularity of the empress of the Pearl Kingdom is partly reflected here - the empresses of the past generations have exempted the village from any taxes, not only to make the village autonomous, but also to do their best to support anything. Usually, the village chief needs to go to the imperial capital regularly to report.
In addition, this starting point village is also nicknamed the novice village by adventurers.
For what?
Although this village is on the periphery of the Mermaid Forest, it is also inside the Mermaid Forest, and the village is surrounded by forests, but there are some weak monsters that appear nearby. If adventurers want to go to this village, they will need to deal with these monsters along the way. If you are a newcomer, these monsters are just right for them to experience, and when you arrive in this village, you need to rest.
And because of the village's geographical location, if the villagers need to do something, they also have to hire adventurers. Since they are villagers, their task is nothing more than to escort everyone to where, and they need adventurers to bring them some daily necessities and other small tasks. For newcomers, it can not only earn some risky funds but also play a role in exercising.
Most of the adventurers who stay here are newcomers, because for adventurers who are out of the novice category, this neighborhood can no longer satisfy them, and they need to go to a deeper place. After getting inside, it is very inconvenient to go back and forth, so you can only camp on the spot. Once you get out, you'll need to go to a bigger city - the closest city to the starting point village and closely related to the Mermaid Forest, which is crowded and well-equipped. Whether it is trading, medical care, or equipment, it meets the needs of many adventurers more than the starting point village.
So, what is a village where only newcomers stay, but not a novice village? However, it is also a novice village, and it is also peaceful. Everyone agrees with the legend of the origin of this village, so the old and weak women and children are generally the first impression of this place, and even if they are not here, they are all poor people. If anyone shows off their power here, they will only be looked down upon, people want to face trees and bark, who wants to be labeled as bullying the weak, especially adventurers also have the dignity of adventurers. Normally, there is even some conflict here. Everyone will also try not to hurt the villagers. And this is a rule that has been handed down all the time. Almost every adventurer will be led by his teacher to say this, as if he had suffered a loss a long time ago.
However, there is also a factor of strength that can maintain order under the bloody adventurer's activities - the famous products here are all kinds of beautiful flowers (necessary for courtship). The second is food. There are a lot of powerful adventurers who will miss the food here. Come back every now and then. These powerful adventurers certainly have more dignity of their own. Bullying the weak and the like rarely happens, and because of nostalgia, others will punish them if they break the rules here.
"Princess. That's the case in this village. β
In a room in a hotel in the village of the starting point, a handsome girl in her twenties held up a finger and said this to her princess.
As for the princess, she was dressed in very unsuitable and simple clothes, and she was also a little dirty, and her clothes could see the holes that had just been torn. But the princess was clearly not interested in the long explanation, and kept yawning.
"Boring, what do you have to say about it?"
"Isn't this the princess asking me to explain the origin of the starting point village!?"
Yiyi couldn't cry or laugh, and spoke a little louder, from this point of view, the master and slave are not so strict about their status.
"AndγPrincess, now is not the time to talk about this. This hostel is the only one in the village and the charges here are very expensive because of the high demand. It's a shame that you're trying to stay here! β
"For what?" The princess was stunned.
"I want money!" Yiyi almost went crazy, looked left and right, and then leaned over and said, "Princess, we have no money!" β
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money."
"Princess, don't you forget why we made this happen, right?"
Yiyi walked away a few steps and spread her hands, although she didn't tear her clothes like the princess, but she could also see the appearance of the dusty servants, which showed that the two of them were very embarrassed.
ββ
The princess stood up silently and walked towards the door.
"Princess? What are you going to do?"
"Shut up, Yiyi. It's just a little thing, I'll fix it! The princess pointed to Yiyi and said.
"But the princess"
"Stand still, snuggle. You must stay here for me, you are not allowed to step out of here without my order, this is the order of this palace! β
Yiyi immediately showed a bitter expression, but there was no way, she could only do it. However, after the worst, she still reminded: "Princess, be careful, and don't reveal your identity!" β
"Hmph, this palace has already learned the truth, and didn't you say that the security here is very good?"
With a bang, the princess closed the door, shook her head helplessly, and sighed.
Alas~ My princess, this place is not absolutely safe.
Recently, I don't know if it's because of comfort or what, people's hearts have become impetuous, and some things are obviously different from before. In layman's terms, it's the prelude to something big to happen, the calm before the storm. However, in Yiyi's words, that is, everyone's strength level has improved, and some people can achieve some strength that requires hard training and mental temperament, and these people are often empty-eyed. In the past, even if these people made trouble, they didn't make much trouble, but as their strength increases, the damage they cause will also increase.
Alas~
Yiyi sighed again and looked out the window. It's just a novice village, so I hope it won't be affected by the impetuous atmosphere, although I'm not qualified to say so.
Yiyi touched her waist, which was her weapon to protect the princess, this friend. Then Yiyi sat on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly closing her eyes to recuperate.
And the princess, as for it, was hanging out in the hotel. Although this is said to be the largest hotel in the starting point village, but after all, it is the village, and the hotel only has a dozen rooms and a courtyard in addition to the hall for people to rest and eat, and the courtyard is not open to the public.
But the princess apparently did not understand this, and she sat helplessly on the stone chair in the courtyard as she casually walked around the hotel.
There was a basket of fruit on the stone table, and the princess saw that she was thirsty, so she took one and ate it without saying a word.
Oh! Delicious!
Guiwei is a princess, she has never eaten such a delicious fruit, and she can't help but eat a fruit in three or two clicks. Not caring at all about her appearance, the princess licked her fingers and stretched out her hand again.
At that moment there was a chirping in the sky, and a golden bird flew down, and without looking at the princess, it probed its head in the fruit basket as if it were picking fruit.
"What kind of bird is this!?"
The princess was sure that she had never seen or heard of such a bird when she came out, and that it was not afraid of people, and that it seemed to be picking fruit and that it was very cute.
The princess's hand changed direction midway and reached out to the bird. She didn't notice that the bird, which had not found her favorite fruit, seemed to be chirping and jumping around a little impatiently.
Eventually, the bird noticed the princess's hand and jumped on the back of her hand and seemed to sniff it a few times.
The humane performance stunned the princess, and then
It hurts!?
The princess retracted her hand sharply, and before she could get angry, the bird chased after her and pecked her.
"Ahh
The princess screamed and ran into a room. And the little bird wanted to chase after him, but as if he had thought of something, he glanced at the room with fear, and flew away with a reluctant chirp. (To be continued......)
