Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fragments of Memory (How about Four Thousand in the Future?)
Hearing Xia Na say that she was going to Qizhou, Lu Yuan couldn't help but collapse his face and wail: "Nana, it's super cold over there." β
"Wear more when it's cold. β
"But no matter how much I wear, I'm afraid of the cold. β
"Cold is just a feeling, don't bite, don't be afraid of it. β
"It's so remote there......"
"It used to be prosperous, and you think it's nostalgic. β
All of Xiana's knowledge of Qizhou comes from various sources, and all kinds of information show that it is just a small city in the middle of nowhere, and it is hard to imagine that the five hundred years ago that Jue Se said could be regarded as a large city in Province H.
Five hundred years is a lot that can really change.
Despite all kinds of entanglements, Lu Yuan obediently started her dear Xiaolie and carried Xana to the flying lane.
"It's less than 800 kilometers away, just take the ordinary highway, there is no need to queue up to get on the waterway. Xana looked at the endless traffic ahead of her and wondered if she would be able to get on the road before dark.
Lu Yuan wanted to cry without tears: "How do I know that there are so many people today, obviously today is Thursday, not Saturday." β
"Eldest sister, do you only look at the week and don't look at the month, tomorrow's New Year's Day, New Year's Day is a holiday. Xia Na reminded angrily, "At this time, there are more long-distance flying cars on the route than you have eaten in your life." β
"......" Lu Yuan really has no face to admit that he has been counting money at home for the past few days, and he has never even left the door.
Fortunately, although the route was crowded, because the speed of the car was fast enough, after two hours, Xiana and Lu Yuan still entered the route smoothly.
I really want to thank the ugly group for takeaway, even the flying car queue sequence can be squeezed in. Xia Na was holding the Teteng pie, and the one she ate was full of aroma, and by the way, she couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan again: "You really don't eat it?"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth: "No...... Eat!" Because of the experience of queuing last time, this time when she saw that the line was so long, she automatically took out compressed food to fill her stomach, but she didn't expect Xia Na to order takeout. Now her stomach is full, and she can't even smell the smell of the pie.
Xia Na looked at Lu Yuan sympathetically while eating the pie.
The route to Qizhou is not too crowded, after all, few people will go to that remote small city now, and it only took two hours for the special landing track of Qizhou City to appear in front of you.
"Tsk, the equipment is so backward. Lu Yuan complained, and chose a relatively stable place to land.
The slightly familiar air made Jue Se couldn't help but sigh out loud: "I really didn't expect Qizhou to fall to this point, in the earlier days, this was the capital city of H Province......"
The provincial capital, a small place where even the flying car lands on such a backward track, Xana couldn't imagine it.
However, it is late at night, so let's find a hotel to stay in and go to that school early tomorrow morning.
"Hey, are you sure you can remember that I've been there in my last life?" "Xana once again confirmed to Jue Se uneasily, after all, it's been five hundred years, what if this guy forgets about Alzheimer's?
"Sure, sure, how many times do you have to ask? Jue Se snorted angrily, "I even remember every posture of your aunt who secretly drank two sips of cold drinks the day after your aunt came last month and rolled twenty-three times in pain!"
Shana rolled her eyes and decided not to bother with this lonely ghost who was bored to study her aunt's.
Jue Se no longer quarrels with Xana, and too many things have changed in five hundred years, including the roads and buildings here. Even if it is him, he must recall the original environment.
Under the cover of night, the once bustling city is now quiet and desolate.
"It's not even ten o'clock, so few people on the street?" Lu Yuan couldn't believe it, if it was in Zhongzhou, this was the most lively time, especially the humans who were having fun hadn't left yet, the nocturnal demon clan was just traveling, and people of various races or demons were all over the street, by the way, she couldn't help but ask Xia Na, "Really Nana, it's not me talking nonsense, but are you really sure that there is no rabbit or cat bloodline in your parents' families?"
"Mention this again, be careful that I curse you to fail all the tasks in the future, and you won't be able to earn a dime!" Damn, her seventeenth birthday is almost coming, but her height still hasn't grown, although Jue Se said that she was such a small person in her previous life, but this is all reincarnated, can't she change her form.
Height is her eternal pain, and when she thinks of her figure, Xia Na feels that she is too soft-hearted, and she didn't even discount Yu Lingzhi's legs, so that he can only be one meter five in his life.
Of course, Lu Yuan knew what Xia Na was struggling with, so he smiled dryly and pointed to a hotel on the side of the road and said, "Let's go and live there, it's the most cost-effective." β
β...... Why do you know?"
"Occasionally, I get remote assignments, so I always have to have a place to live. β
However, Xia Na simply rejected Lu Yuan's choice and directly designated another one - the "most cost-effective" in Lu Yuan's mouth definitely refers to the cheapest and the worst facilities.
A good night's sleep.
As soon as it was dawn in the morning, Xia Na was pulled up by Lu Yuan.
"Let's go, aren't you going to Qizhou University, I've already found out the route, and there is a breakfast stall that is said to be good halfway......"
Xia Na was blindfolded and asked weakly, "So, is there any task from Qizhou University that you can take?" Otherwise, how could this girl be so active, and tempt her with food.
"Huh...... Isn't this a way, we can kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone......"
"Stop!" Xia Na was completely awake at this time, slapped Lu Yuan's hand away, pulled the clothes next to her and said while putting them on, "You said that you were a fan of money when you didn't have money, forget it, why are you still so crazy when you have money now, can you take a break?" β
Lu Yuan pouted and didn't say anything, who would be disgusted with a lot of money, if you can earn one, what if you run out of money in the future.
Regarding Lu Yuan's wealth fan attributes, Xia Na just complained casually, anyway, she knew in her heart that no matter what she said, this girl would not come out of the eyes of money.
After a simple wash, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to pull Xiana into the car - although Qizhou City is a small city, there are not too many demon catchers with demon trapping licenses, but there is no guarantee that there are heroes who see the same task as her.
So......
"That's what you say, it's said to be delicious...... Early?" asked Lu Yuan as she held a rice porridge that was so thin that she could count the grains of rice, and on the plate in front of her was a bun that she hadn't seen the filling after two bites.
Lu Yuan coughed dryly: "I haven't eaten it either, it's just to look at the evaluation......"
"When you searched the store, did you set it to be ranked from low to high per capita consumption?" Xia Na was quite suspicious, Lu Yuan's so-called "not bad" meant that among the equally cheap breakfast stalls, this one was not bad.
"The default option is used to ......" In the face of Xia Na's resentful gaze, Lu Yuan greeted the boss with a painful face, adding another egg.
What else can she do, this girl is so picky that she can even fight dog food, what else can she say? Xia Na patted Lu Yuan's shoulder helplessly, and reminded: "Be careful that if you continue like this, you will not grow as tall as me." β
Lu Yuan replied casually while drinking porridge: "It's okay, I'm 1.65 meters, even if I don't grow taller, it doesn't matter." β
Xana grinded her teeth, grabbed the half of the bun and bit it hard.
Qizhou University is located in the northwest of Qizhou, adjacent to Qizhou No. 1 Middle School, although the relocation is imminent, but at present, it is still a bit lively.
"Stop, here!"
Before entering the campus, Jue Se suddenly spoke.
Xia Na hurriedly asked Lu Yuan to stop, and asked Jue Se strangely: "What the hell, you haven't entered the door yet." β
"On the path next to you, do you see the big tree?"
With such a big tree, the three of them may not be able to hug it together, unless they can't see it, unless they are blind.
"It used to be a row of trees, but now there's only one left. Jue Se was a little sentimental, "Back then, you and Xiao Ye met Jester here for the first time, and you fought with him, and then sent him to the underworld. β
"The Jester you are talking about, shouldn't you mean the ancestor of the only blood clan family in Huaxia at present?" Xia Na remembered that Yi Yang had said that the Si Jie who owed his mouth that day was from Jester's family.
"It was him, and he and Mikel stayed after the battle. β
This is where she once fought?
Looking at the stout and towering tree, Xana couldn't help but lose her mind slightly. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had come to the side, and that the tree was so large that it could hide her entire body in the shadow of the tree.
"Even if it's 500 years old, it's probably a little too big. Xana looked at the tree in front of her suspiciously, and from what she knew about the species, it was impossible for this tree to grow this big.
On the tree, at eye level with her, there was a dark red mark.
This kind of tree should not have long patterns...... Xia Na subconsciously stroked the red trace, and then, a flower appeared in front of her.
The silver-haired young man rushed up with an eerie smile at an incredible speed, his claws flashing with cold light......
He said he wanted them to serve him dinner today.
The battle between speed and power is so fierce......
It wasn't until the inexplicable sharp pain in her wrist that Xia Na came to her senses, and she subconsciously looked down at her wrist, which was white and delicate, without the slightest scar. She remembered that five hundred years ago, right here, the Bloodclan named Jester had scratched her wrist and clamored for dinner with her blood.
"Nana, are you okay?" Lu Yuan was a little worried, Xia Na stood under the tree in a daze, and her face changed for a while.
"It's okay, I just think this tree is really big. Xana replied casually.
The red mark should have been a drop of her blood sprayed during the battle, and the reason why this tree was able to grow so tall should also be because it absorbed the power in her blood.
Suddenly, Xana was stroking the bloodied fingers on the tree.
"What's going on?!" Lu Yuan rushed forward, and she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something hidden in this tree.
The blood stains on the trees were slowly fading until they were completely gone.
"The host ......"
Immature voice.
Xia Na and Lu Yuan were stunned.
A small and delicate leaf carved from jade fell lightly into Xia Na's hand, and she made a childish voice again: "Master, you are back." β
What the hell?, Xana blinked, scrutinizing the leaves. If the books she was reading weren't scribbled, it should have been a primary-level dryad, unable to even do basic transformation, and could only maintain its ontological form. However, it is extremely rare for a tree that is only 500 years old to be able to cultivate a self-conscious spirit body.
"Nana, have you been here?" Lu Yuan cared about the word "come back", as for this little tree spirit, it was so weak that she couldn't bear to think of it as a danger.
"I didn't ...... Who knows, maybe I've been here in my last life. Shana said, placing the small green leaf in her hand on the tree, "It's very dangerous outside, so let's go back to your body." "Such a weak newborn spirit is probably a snack in the eyes of many monsters.
Unexpectedly, the green leaves swung and floated back into Xia Na's hand, with a little expectation in her immature voice: "Master, can you take me away...... It's going to be demolished soon. β
"But you're already a 500-year-old tree, so you shouldn't be able to cut it down...... Oh, I forgot, you just condensed your spirits. β
The grass and trees when the spirit body is just condensed are the weakest period of life, and all the power is used to maintain the spirit body, and there is no extra power to strengthen the body. It is difficult for such a tree to survive even if it is transported and replanted.
A newly conscious spirit, and a dryad that had grown out of her own blood, Xana felt as if she should take a little responsibility.
I made an appointment with Little Green Leaf to take it away, and Xia Na had just put away the green leaf when she saw a pair of sparkling eyes.
β...... What do you want to do?" Lu Yuan's gaze was like a wolf dog that had been hungry for three days and saw a pot of meat and bones.
"Nana, please stand firm and let me give you a good hug on your thighs. "Walking on the road, you can pick up a spirit that automatically recognizes the owner, although it is small, but it can grow after all, Nana is simply a walking beckoning cat.
After a few laughs, the two returned to their destination, Qizhou University.
Speaking of which, with the development of science and technology, the inheritance of human beings has become more solid and stable. However, there are not many people who have not moved in 500 years like Qizhou University. Not because of anything else, just because of the new campusβit costs money.
"The location of the gate is still here. As he entered the campus, Jue Se, who had always been calm, was a little excited, "It's just to the west, which was originally a playground, and it was there when you and Xiao Ye first met. β
Xia Na looked over there, there was now a flower bed, but there was a playground under the scorching sun in front of her, she stepped on a long black knife, and sharply questioned Mo Lingye why she raised evil spirits, and Mo Lingye pointed at Jue Se with great resentment and complained to her that this thing that was useless except for complaining was embarrassed to be called an evil spirit.
"Jue Se...... It turns out that Mo Lingye dislikes you so much. Shana smiled maliciously, "You have the face to claim to be her closest combat partner?"
β...... Xana, I really miss you back then. Jue Se sighed.
