Chapter 375: The Anointed
In the silent study, as the books closed, the capable old man with glasses looked up, looked at the girl in front of him, and let out a long sigh.
"Is this the end?"
The old man asked, "You could have kept him alive for the next era." β
"But that's why stories are the most beautiful, aren't they?"
The girl named Lily replied seriously: "This is not my stage after all, if I blindly mess around, I will only lose my original intention - the death of heroes before dawn, such an ending could not be better." β
The old man took off his glasses, stared at her carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you were the author, maybe you would become the type of hot hand who is particularly ruthless to the protagonist." β
"The author is exaggerating or something. β
Lily shook her head: "I don't have the ability to create things, I just picked out the elements I wanted and revised them into a collection." β
"That's enough. β
The old man bowed his head and handed the book over with a precious heart: "DM, they have a good eye." To be a steward of the kingdom of heaven, like being a librarian and a publishing editor, you don't need to create content, you just need to put it in the right place.
And for you, who were born from legends, it's simply instinctive, and I really envy them for being able to find a successor like you. β
"The seniors have won the prize. Lily kept her head down, but she couldn't hide the excitement of being complimented.
"Thank you DM for me, they came to give me a ride as an old woman. β
The old man smiled and pulled out a carefully kept book from his backpack: "This is the voucher I got when I entered the Ideal Country, and now that the Ideal Country no longer exists, return it to the Ivory Tower for me." β
It is a time-honored ancient book, but the gilded characters on it have not faded in color, I don't know how many times it has been read, it still retains the marks of the past, and it has not been damaged at all.
γGone with the windγ
Feeling the heavy essentia fluctuations in it, Lily was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily looked up.
This is undoubtedly a essentia in the kingdom of heaven, containing an indispensable part of the mythology of mankind.
"After borrowing books for so many years, there must always be a beginning and an end. β
The old man winked at her happily: "However, it's okay to be a few days late, I suggest you can also take a look at the ...... if you have time"
"Thank you. Lily nodded vigorously.
"I'm not very good at manipulating things, and if there's anything I can give you a thank you, it's this. β
The old man smiled gently, "Farewell, then, little girl, and may you grow peacefully before the storm comes." β
"Goodbye. β
Lily bowed her head and disappeared onto the couch.
There was a knock at the door.
"Please come in. The old man tilted his head, lit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and said in an unceremonious tone: "Let me see which stupid dick is coming from the Survival Yard." β
Helpless, Nifenheim pushed the door open and smiled stiffly at the old man.
There's no way, everyone is dead, what's wrong with scolding you twice? Besides, the seniors are here, don't say scolding you, you dare to say that the seniors didn't play well?
"Sit down. β
The old man pointed to the sofa in front of him that he didn't know when it turned into an old chair: "Don't spread it and say that I rely on the old and sell the old, and I won't even let the people in the survival house sit when I see it." β
Nifenheim simply didn't say anything and sat down.
The old man glanced at the junior, and shook his head with a regretful expression: "You look okay, why did you run into the corner of the survival courtyard...... Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions and can't be forced, let's get down to business. β
She flicked the cigarette ash and asked, "Did you get it?"
"It's not close. Nifenheim replied bluntly, pulling out a stack of manuscripts: "Among your achievements, there is a part of your work other than the rancher and the immortal beast. β
"It's all here, let's take an inventory, don't say I'm dead and still hiding. β
The old man snapped his fingers neatly, and a huge box appeared in front of Nifenheim.
This is the final result of this witch's night.
It's also the most important part of it.
-- On the feasibility of bio-derived qualitative technology.
Aside from the study of the elements of destruction, this was the essence of her life's research - she didn't need to verify anything through the Witch's Night, she had already succeeded.
Fu Yi is a testament to this achievement.
She's the perfect person for this witch's night.
There is no need for sublimators to execute, nor does it need scholars to explore, only ordinary people can show this value of technology.
A way for ordinary people to survive in a post-apocalyptic world...... That's the research she's most proud of!
On behalf of the former ideal country, she left this last gift for the present.
When Niffenheim had finished reading, he stood up in silence and bowed to his body to offer this gratitude on behalf of the present situation.
The old man admired Nifenheim's look of admiration, smiled happily, waved goodbye, and signaled that he could go.
"Nothing more?" asked Nifenheim.
"It's up to you how you use this technology, whether it's for testing or sealing, how you use my other data, whether it's spreading or preserving. β
The old man said calmly, "The dead should not interfere with the present world, and besides, it shouldn't be you who use it?"
Although the Survival House is always picking and choosing, and the Governing Bureau is always slow, I believe that the Survival Institution can grasp its risks, and I believe that the Governing Bureau can fulfill its mission. β
She paused and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity, but I have to admit that the task of protecting the present realm can be achieved without the Ideal Country, and it is not badβthen do your job, little ghost." β
"Don't live up to the expectations of an old woman. β
She grinned, but there was no vicissitudes of old age, and her eyes were as clear as a child: "The present situation will be handed over to you." β
"Hmm. β
Nifenheim bowed his head and looked serious: "Leave it to us." β
He picked up the box and turned to leave.

Huai Shi yawned, opened her eyes, clicked her mouth, and saw the soft sunlight outside the window.
No more the darkness and silence to which you have become accustomed.
He was stunned for a long time: "Wang?"
Then, he realized that he didn't seem to be a dog anymore!
He jumped up from the couch in surprise and looked down at his hands, the familiar ten fingers, and then looked down at his legs, the familiar feet.
Finally, he pulled the waistband of his trousers a little, which was familiar......
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I've finally changed back.
I couldn't hold back my tears.
It wasn't until he was moved for a long time that he found the old lady sitting on the opposite side of the sofa watching the show. The old man took a sip of the teacup and took a sip lightly, his eyes were full of interest: "Go on, old lady, I haven't seen such a little fresh meat like you for a long time......"
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "You are...... Who?"
"Who?"
The old man calmly asked: "If you are talking about the unlucky old woman who died in the abyss, then I should be right, by the way, the cause of my death should be a stroke." When I got older, I forgot to take my medicine......"
"Uh......"
Huai Shi smiled awkwardly: "Then you called me ......"
"Give you something, don't you want it?" the old man waved his hand: "Don't forget it." β
As he spoke, Huai Shi's figure gradually dissipated.
"Wait a minute, I want it!!"
Huai Shi panicked and hurriedly shouted, and the trend of disappearing stopped.
The old lady had a smug smile on her face, as if she was bullying a child to play, which made Huai Shi completely powerless.
"As is customary, as the most advanced explorer, I really should identify you as the anointed one and give you something......"
The old man pondered for a moment, and said bluntly: "But I don't have anything suitable for you here, after all, my specialty is abyss biology, so let's do it, this is good for you." β
She unbuckled the saddle bag buckle around her waist, gently patted the dust on it, and handed it to Huai Shi.
Huai Shi took it blankly, not knowing what this was.
When he opened it, it was empty, and it didn't seem to contain anything, but when he opened the innermost bag, he found that there was something inside.
I reached out and took it out, only to see it......
Huai Shi's expression twitched.
In his hand was a collar...... Well, to be exact, a dog collar with a bell on it, and a leash attached to it.
It looks sturdy and sturdy, and it's very reliable!
"This ...... What is it?" Huai Shi looked at the old man blankly.
"Well, this is a gift from the Lord of the Crowd, and I later asked someone from Helios' workshop to modify it, and by the standards of the current world, it can be regarded as an artifact. β
The old man's words stunned Huai Shi.
What's that?
Artifact?
That's it?
Where is the god? Could it be the collar used by the dog?
Huai Shi turned the collar over and over again, hoping to see the word 'Xiaotian' from the gap above...... Other names are also made.
Until the old man sighed helplessly: "It's not the collar, it's the bag ......"
"Oooh. Only then did Huai Shi react.
"Its full name is the Survival Pack of the Wise, and it has been with me in hell for many days, and to be honest, I am a little reluctant to give it away. β
"It works just like you have just seen," said the old man, that every other week you can take out a small civilian object from it that will help you in your current condition - if you fall into the desert, you will get a bottle of water, and if you are too cold to do so, you can take out an overcoat. But that's the job at best, and you'd better not expect too much. β
Huai Shi was at a loss.
It sounds incredible, but every other week you can come up with something to improve the situation, even a small civilian item is enough to help a lot.
Merely...... Why did you take out a collar yourself?
Is this a hint that you wear it?
