Chapter 31: The Illusion of the Stars

Late at night, it's quiet.

Feng Xi lies under the room with its own "skylight", looking at the sky.

There are a lot of stars, and they are very bright.

A few tossing and turning sounds in the next room attracted the attention of Feng Xi, and he looked slightly sideways, it was a ruined wall.

But the broken wall couldn't cut off the tension in Crowe's heart.

Not only him, but the other midshipmen were also nervous.

Crow didn't bring the other knights back when he returned, so it was only those knights who were there now.

"Crowe."

The movement next door suddenly stopped, and there was a low reply.

"Lord Fengxi, did you make a noise to rest?"

"No, I don't care."

Feng Xi really didn't care, he had the experience of not sleeping for several days when he was looking at the memory of the memory, although he slept for a few days and nights after that.

But that's not the point, the point is that they have to be cheered up now.

"Crow, I understand your inner nervousness, but there is a saying in the East: cowardice before fighting is a taboo in soldiers, let me tell you a story about the shipwreck."

"It was 208 B.C...."

The night was silent, only the sound of the wind reverberate.

The crows fell silent, perched on the abandoned eaves and listened quietly, as if they could understand, and the knights across the wall also held their breath and listened quietly.

“... Do you know, the destruction of the cauldron is our current scene, however, the overlord of Western Chu is not reckless, he cut off the grain and grass of the Qin army,

He's smart and has a plan, but we also have it, and you must know better than me which duke's territory is nearby. ”

Crowe had a flash of inspiration and was in ecstasy.

"Lord Fengxi, it's the territory where those two dukes are located, could it be..."

"Yes, Crowe, you've become smarter, too."

Crow, who was leaning against the wall, was happy like a hundred and fifty pound fool, and he giggled.

"It's all taught by Lord Fengxi, you teach it well."

After thanking him, Crow said with some sighs.

"Lord Fengxi, I hope to visit your hometown one day and see what kind of place can produce a scholar as knowledgeable as you."

Feng Xi looked inexplicable after hearing this, and said in a complicated tone.

"If you have a chance, then go back and have a look."

In fact, Feng Xi didn't know if he was really from the East, but the memories in his mind were not fake, which made him in a trance.

It's like a scholar who travels far away, and all novelists and detectives are fake.

He is a scholar from the East, willing to cross far, far away, and leave his homeland to solve all the unsolved mysteries of the world.

Who am I? 】

Feng Xi has no answer.

Because it woke up on the red tattered leather couch in the basement, as if it had been here for a long, long time.

After coming back to his senses, listening to the gentle breathing of the knights across the wall, Feng Xi knew that they had fallen asleep.

Being able to sleep peacefully also means that their hearts have calmed down.

Continuing to look at the starry sky in the sky, Feng Xi felt very familiar, as if he used to look at the sky like this often.

I don't know how long it took.

Feng Xi seems to have seen something.

It was a shining star in the sky, and the star was rapidly falling, attracting the attention of the wind worship, and he followed it with his eyes.

Until it flew to the east, the flash of the sun woke him up.

Feng Xi opened his eyes violently and sat up.

[I was dreaming just now? But it's so real! 】

Looking around left and right, the knight's breathing sound was still so gentle, and there were a few vague whispers, and then Feng Xi looked up, but found that the stars in the sky did not know when they disappeared.

What's going on, the stars?

Then.

A dazzling touch of gold began to stain the sky, and the sky turned blue.

Hah-

It's the movement that Crowe makes when he gets up.

Speaking of which, I am asleep or not, and my mind is not tired at all.

Feng Xi couldn't figure it out, but this matter had already been imprinted in his heart.

Knock Knock –

Crowe woke up the midshippers by tapping on the rotten planks, and then came to the door of the shrine and shouted quietly.

"Lord Fengxi, are you awake?"

Feng Xi looked at the door that couldn't block people at all and replied.

"Wake up."

After hearing the answer, Crow turned and left.

Inside, you could hear the sound of Krona's departing stampede, and the snorting of horses in the distance.

Feng Xi knew that Crow was going to check on the horses.

"It's worthy of being a formal knight, and it's really rigorous."

After getting up, after stretching his body and moving his joints, Feng Xi moved the very light "door" in front of him and walked out.

"Scholar."

"Scholar."

The wind ritual is also a nod in return.

These apprentice knights did not dare to call Feng Ci by his name, because they were only probationary knights, although Feng Ci had said many times that he didn't care.

But they still insisted on calling it this way in their hearts, and Feng Xi understood why.

Although they don't care, Crow is their boss, and they can't call Crow the same as their boss, otherwise they will be disrespectful to Crow.

It can only be said that the aristocracy is still deeply engraved in their minds, although it has changed a lot, but these deep-rooted dignity and humility will still be impossible to get rid of for a while.

Come and sit down.

Feng Xi watched as the apprentice knights had a clear division of labor to collect firewood, boil water, cook, and inspect the silver sword.

In the distance, Crow was inspecting the horses.

Water was bubbling from the humble pot on the campfire.

"In that case, Lord Scholar, the water is what you call boiling."

Feng Xi stood up and looked at the turbid water in the pot, and was silent for a while.

Where did this group of people find the water?

If you can't think of it, you ask, and Feng Xi also asked suspiciously.

"The water you found there."

Hearing Feng Xi's question, one of the midshipmen said happily.

"Scholar, I found it from the pool over there, there are many more, I'll take you there."

Feng Xi looked at the young blonde man in front of him, although his face was full of freckles, he smiled very brightly, and he had hope for life.

This caused the words that tried to tell him that the water was undrinkable, and they were swallowed back into their stomachs.

Just followed him in silence.

"What's your name?"

"Scholar, my name is Moni."

"Moni, I remember."

Moni was obviously happy that Feng Xi remembered his name, and was very excited.

"Scholar, you see, this is the pool."

Before he could get closer, he smelled a strong smell of plankton.

When I come to the pool.

Sure enough.

The pond is full of plankton, and unknown weeds grow on the edge of the bottomless pool.

Feng Xi's face asked helplessly.

"Moni, do you think this water is drinkable?"

Moni looked at Feng Xi suspiciously, and said with some uncertainty.

"Didn't the scholar say that you can drink it if you boil it over a fire until it gurgles, and you won't get sick."

“...”

Feng Xi was speechless.

He said it, but it's not like all water is boiling and there are no bacteria.

By the way, Feng Xi remembered that they didn't know what bacteria were, and they didn't have a chance to let them see them.

It's no wonder that Moni would find any place where he would bring water back and boil it.

It turned out that the method of drinking hot water he taught him was used by him as a way to get rid of all diseases.

"Moni, let's find water again, this water can't be drunk."
