Ophelia sat in front of the bedside table, her beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror. She took off the crystal headband and gently placed it on the cabinet. Then, she began to carefully arrange her short silver hair.

At that moment, the window opened, and a yellowed piece of parchment floated in through the window. Ophelia's hand arranging her hair paused, and the half-leaning man into the room, dressed in a black robe, was poking his head into the room.

The candle flame flickered a little.

"I owe you a favor. ”

"It's a small thing, but if you really thank me......"

......

"Miss Ophelia, the boy is awake. ”

The little girl with her short pale blue hair ran to her in a panic, Ophelia withdrew her gaze from the sword in her hand, and with a flick of her right hand, the sword returned to the holster at her waist.

"I see, thanks. ”

Lin Qiu stretched and sat up from the bed.

It was a shabby-looking log cabin with very little furniture. The cabin was empty, and Alyssa and Ophelia were nowhere to be found, and on the wooden table in the middle of the cabin was a cup that was constantly steaming from it, and it seemed that the owner of the room had just left.

The current situation should be rescued.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the occasional conversation could be heard, but they spoke in a language he didn't understand, neither the lingua franca of Holutiah, nor any of the languages he had known before he crossed over.

After turning over and getting out of bed, Lin Qiu moved his muscles and bones, and the scoring force in his body also recovered during this time.

He pushed the door open, and the dazzling sunlight shone on his face, and he couldn't help but squintβ€”a strange little street, lined with grocery-like shops, with bags of fruit in their hands that he had never seen before. The people on this street without exception have pale blue hair, and even their eyes are royal blue like the sea.

Not far away, a group of people gathered together, and it was particularly lively.

In the crowd, Lin Qiu's familiar language also came. The lingua franca of Holutiah.

"Hey, when I was riding on the sea with my men, I met a sea monster as tall as a hill!"

In the center of the crowd, Jack shouted in his characteristic loud voice, holding the grilled fish in his right hand and the flask in his left, and as he spoke, he took a bite of the grilled fish and poured a large sip of wine. When Lin Qiu passed, the old man's face was flushed, and he looked a little drunk.

Lin Qiu was also drunk.

This old man had such a big heart that the first thing he did when he came to this unfamiliar place was to brag in front of a group of children. Whenever Jack spoke of the sight on the sea, the children would look wistfully at the sky.

Lin Qiu squeezed into the crowd, and when he came to Jack's side, he grabbed his beard, and Jack was grinning by him.

"Old man, you'd better explain it to me. ”

"Shhh...... Let go, let go, it hurts!"

Jack struggled away from Lin Qiu's hands with his hands dancing, and then he laughed again: "There's nothing to explain! Everything is as you can see, we succeeded!"

"What succeeded?"

"Boy, welcome to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis!"

The children were encouraged by Jack and invariably smiled at Lin Qiu with a friendly smile.

Lin Qiu was stunned, at the end of his memory, the Wave Flower was indeed pulled into the abyss by that whirlpool. If this is Atlantis, it all makes sense. It's no wonder that when Jack talks about his adventures on the sea, these children look wistfully at the sky.

However, apart from the color of the hair and eyes of the inhabitants here, he really couldn't see the shadow of the underwater city.

"What about Alyssa and Ophelia?"

"Don't worry about them! they woke up a few days before you, and Alyssa went out early in the morning. ”

Hearing that the two of them were fine, Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jack handed a piece of grilled fish on the table to Lin Qiu, and ate it to himself. His mouth was full of food, and his voice became indistinct: "Children, this is what I told you before, the knight, a specialty of Holutiah!"

The children surrounded Lin Qiu curiously, and boldly stretched out their hands and pulled at the placket of his clothes.

Lin Qiu was a little crying and laughing: "Hey, old man, why do they understand you?"

Jack fumbled in the pocket of his jacket, and mysteriously took out a shell-shaped object, and then he carefully handed it to Lin Qiu: "Be careful, don't break it, this thing is called a memory shell, it can translate our language!

The moment Lin Qiu came into contact with the shells, the sound of the children's babbling suddenly transformed into the Holutiya language that he was familiar with.

"Wow, is this a knight?"

"It looks amazing!"

The content of the babbling was something that Lin Qiu could guess without a translator.

"Give it back to me. ”

Before Lin Qiu could study it a few times, Jack urged.

"Give it to you, who scarves your stuff. ”

Lin Qiu stuffed the shell into his arms, the old man estimated that he had been drinking heavily for more than a day or two, and the shell was full of the smell of wine and grilled fish.

Big deal, he asked Alyssa for a new one!

"Tyr!"

As soon as Lin Qiu was about to turn around, he was hugged fiercely from behind: "You finally woke up!"

"Alyssa, watch the impact!

The children saw Alyssa, who rushed towards Lin Qiu and held her in her arms, they covered their eyes with their hands, but a slit was revealed between their fingers, and they stared at the gap with wide eyes, carefully observing this fragrant scene.

"And, Alyssa. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Remove the cream from your hand. ”

Although Lin Qiu wasn't sure if the sticky white foamy object was cream, he was sure he definitely didn't want to be confused by this thing. After Alyssa subconsciously let go, Lin Qiu indignantly pointed to the extra lump of "cream" on his forehead: "It's all a good thing you did!"

As the culprit, Alyssa not only did not have a trace of introspection, but laughed so much that tears came out.

In fact, Lin Qiu could understand Alyssa's mood at the moment, he smiled even happier than Alyssa after pasting the cake on his classmate's birthday.

In the words of the classmate who was successfully pranked by him, he laughed as much as the whole audience had free shipping.

But it's not funny at all when this happens to me.

And he really couldn't imagine that a taskaholic like Alyssa could have such a side. However, he swears to the sky that he is not a contrasting cute, he only controls gold coins now, the more the better.

"As compensation, you must compensate me for a memory shell as a mental damage fee. ”

Lin Qiu righteously stretched out his hand to Alyssa.

"Here you go, there are a lot of this anyway, and the uncle at the grocery store said that he didn't usually need it, so he gave me a dozen. ”

Lin Qiu leaned over to take a look, and the bag in Alyssa's hand was indeed full of these things.

-- This old man lied about the military!

He glared at Jack fiercely. Looking at the appearance of his baby, Lin Qiu thought how valuable this thing was!

This deal is a loss!

"I repented. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Lin Qiu put the memory shell back into the bag, Alyssa didn't understand what Lin Qiu was going to do for a while.

"You have to compensate me 100 gold coins for mental damages. ”

Anyway, he knew that this thing was definitely not worth 100 gold coins, and when he had the gold coins, he would ask the grocery store owner for a free one, which would kill two birds with one stone.

"Don't think!"

Alyssa, who understood Lin Qiu's small abacus, narrowed her eyes, pressed her other hand on Lin Qiu's broken hair, and kneaded it vigorously.
