Chapter 413: Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
One day in early October, the fog was as light as a veil and the green grasslands were vast.
On the other side, the land is covered by a much larger forest, as far as the eye can see.
If you are in this kind of place, even if you don't like it, you have to feel the insignificance of human beings. Although the Middle Ages in Europe is a history of forest development, these forests still have the impression of an old era.
Nature is by no means something that is gentle with human beings.
On the contrary, in the essential sense, it is the opposite of human beings.
It is impossible for human beings to live in harmony with nature at the moment when they gain wisdom. In short, the paths of the two are very different, and although there are occasional times when they get closer, it is impossible to avoid the situation where the two are hostile to each other.
"The previous lineage said that 'all my stories have a basic premise, that is, the laws, interests, and emotions of ordinary human beings are invalid and meaningless in the vast universe.' Although he was telling the truth, it seemed to me that he was cowardly. With that, Lefat Tirgate pulled out a stiff smile.
It's still a plain brown suit, slightly messy hair, and a short stubble on the chin.
It looks like a thirty-year-old, a forty-year-old, and a fifty-year-old.
The eyes that are as unwavering as dead people seem to contain some rich emotions, and there is a kind of burning anticipation in the calm.
On the whole, it is a very contradictory existence.
The shadows of all kinds of people can be seen in him.
Whether it's a thief, a liar, a politician, a peasant, or even the most devout ascetic.
Ling Yi rested his chin in one hand, his calm gaze moving with the regressing scenery. But there is no fluctuation in the slightest, and it feels as if you are asleep with your eyes open.
But the next sentence overturned that speculation.
"Lovecraft is only human, and it would have been your mistake to have too much hope for him."
"You still don't understand what I mean. Whether it is a human or an ant, it is the same in our eyes, and all creatures who are lucky enough to come into contact with us have the opportunity to become inheritors, and we only think about how to let the inheritors revive our times, and never think about the details of 'whether it can be done'. Refa maintained his usual languid and careless pace, the muscles of his face twitching unnaturally, as if he was trying to make an expression that matched his tone, but unfortunately failed. His face looks like a clown.
"I'm too lazy to give you the word 'stupid'. It's no wonder that after so long, there has been no improvement. Lovecraft, who is no different from an ant in your eyes, has made a lot of achievements. ā
"Well, yes, so after some introspection, I feel that I should more or less help the inheritor."
Ling Yi was not puzzled by Lefa's strange behavior of suddenly turning the 'we' in his words into 'me'. Even surprised. Because he knows. The guys other than Lefa are just idiots who only know how to sleep or float around the universe like a ghost.
Sometimes, he was really skeptical. Will these beast-like idiots really come back to the world one day?
"Ugh." Suddenly, Ling Yi sighed.
Lefa's eyes rolled, looking extremely strange.
"Don't worry, I'm not helping you? I can't summon a fully embodied Itakua, but I can handle a lot of problems for you, and if there are any other difficulties, I will consider asking someone else to help you. Oh yes, maybe you can reach out to Hastur, after all, Itakua is a dependent. ā
Ling Yi glanced at him coldly.
"Why don't you mention yƬ and let me go to Cthugha for help, at least I have a better relationship with it."
At the mention of the name Ketugua, Lefa smiled and closed his mouth.
If they did run into Ketugea or his family, they wouldn't mind burning the clown-tricked gadgets he had slathered.
It doesn't need any explanation, the relationship between him and Ketugea is so bad.
After a while, Lefa couldn't help but ask, "Why did you go to Wales?" ā
That's right, their destination was Wales in England.
The clear aura envelops the vast grasslands and forests, and the cloudless blue sky is quiet and deep, which has a completely different atmosphere from the sea and sky of the Mediterranean.
"The [Wang Li Factory] is based in London, which I know very well, so there are hundreds of magicians who have been installed, but the [Wang Li Factory] is different from ordinary associations, their organization is more loose, that is, it is difficult to sweep it away in one go, they are like a group of hermits, usually hiding in the streets and alleys, and only gather together in an emergency, this kind of organization is more troublesome than the guerrillas. So, I decided to make some moves in Wales, because this land is more repulsive to outsiders, and [Wangli Factory] has all kinds of people, so I don't have to worry about their people ruining my plans here. ā
Ling Yi gave a rare detailed explanation, after all, he brought Lefa with him because he needed his assistance, so it was necessary to let him know his strategy.
"I see, start with Wales, so that you can also attract their attention very much, after all, it is in the United Kingdom, and in the past few months, you have been terrified by your strategy, once something happens in Wales, there will definitely be a reaction, maybe you can seize the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, good tactics."
"That's pretty much it."
Ling Yi affirmed the conclusion of Lefa's inferences.
An hour later, the train arrived in Cardiff, the capital of Wales.
Compared with the prosperity and urbanization of England, Wales is simple and rural in terms of natural scenery, customs, language and culture. Ling Yi only stayed for lunch before continuing on his way.
Le Fa complained about this, and it seemed to him that these simple citizens seduced him like a delicious cake.
"Huh." At the entrance of the station, Ling Yi suddenly stopped. Suspicious, he stared at a figure mixed in the crowd.
"What's wrong?" Lefa hunched his back slightly, his tone was weak like a person who hadn't eaten for three or four days, the pair of dead fish eyes looked at Ling Yi's gaze, as if he had found something interesting, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and the person became much more energetic.
"I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here." Ling Yi said bluntly.
"Need to say hi? We have a lot of time anyway. Lefa's eyes flashed with unknown colors.
"It's really necessary." The reason why he made this decision was not because he was moved by Lefa's words, but because Ling Yi noticed that the figure had suddenly turned into a remote but ancient alley next to the station, in fact, this kind of alley could be seen everywhere here, but he felt a trace of mana fluctuations. There seems to be something inside. The atmosphere seems to be saying that.
"I'm waiting for you here." Lefa is quite intellectual.
Ling Yi didn't shirk it, and immediately followed.
But he didn't forget to warn Lefa.
"Don't get me in trouble, or I'll throw you into outer space."
Hearing this, Lefa's face instantly turned bitter.
Although there is no one anymore. But Ling Yi wasn't worried about losing it. Turning around in the alleys. Stepping on the damp, stone-paved, uneven ground, after three or four minutes, I saw the familiar figure again.
The other party turned his back to him, squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was busy with.
Take a closer look. There was a woman lying on the ground, two years old, dressed quite fashionably, but unfortunately she was like a candle in the wind, and she didn't live long.
The mana fluctuations emanating from the other party became more and more obscure.
Ling Yi's eyes narrowed, he already knew what the other party was doing.
It's just too much to overwhelm.
There was no need to hide any longer, and when I walked out of the corner, the footsteps were extremely clear in the alley.
The figure crouching on the ground was visibly startled, like a frightened animal, and stood up suddenly, trying to run away without saying a word.
"Don't you want to hear what I think? If this continues, more and more people will die, and you can only watch the endgame happen one after another. Ling Yi said this unhurriedly.
I saw that the figure stopped walking, but did not turn around immediately, as if she was doing repeated psychological struggles, but in the end, she still turned around after hesitating as Ling Yi expected.
It wasn't until this moment that Ling Yi really saw her appearance clearly.
On the whole, it is obviously not from a wealthy family, dressed like a country girl.
Not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old.
But he has brilliant blonde hair, and his appearance is inferior to the beautiful girls he has seen, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is already a rare beauty embryo.
Her big watery eyes were full of vigilance.
I can't help but laugh dumbly.
"Are you with them?" The girl said hesitantly, her eyes fixed on the foreign man. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with 'them', so much so that whenever Ling Yi reacted violently, she would immediately turn around and run away.
Ling Yi didn't answer her question immediately, but instead said something irrelevant.
"Speaking Italian here is exclusionary."
The girl's face changed slightly, and it was obvious that she understood what he meant by 'human'.
Most of the magicians in Wales are from home, with only a few coming from overseas, because the magicians here prefer to be pure and therefore rejects outsiders.
Spell associates like her, who spoke fluent Italian, were clearly guilty of their taboos.
Just as she wanted to ask something again, she saw Ling Yi suddenly take a few steps forward, and she couldn't escape from an adult man's pursuit at a distance of only a few meters, so she hurriedly took out a flask from her arms.
"Sure enough, the essence has been plundered."
Huh? The girl was stunned for a moment, and after a closer look, the man walked to where she had been, crouched beside the woman who was not far from death, muttering something in his mouth.
But what he was muttering, the girl could still hear.
"Spirit? What essence? ā
Forgetting his fear for a while, he asked subconsciously.
"In witchcraft terms, it's life force."
Ling Yi replied without raising his head.
I see, the girl suddenly realized.
No, wait.
The girl suddenly reacted and looked at him in shock.
How does this guy know he's studying witchcraft?
At this moment, Ling Yi's words changed: "But then again, why don't you stay in Italy and come to Wales?" Alice. As he spoke, his head was raised, and his gaze was set on the panicked girl. (To be continued......)
