Chapter 377: Welcome to Triumph, My King
"Sixty Years ......"
Chi Lian was in a trance for a while, and he asked, "What happened during this period?" ”
"Initially, you left Chau Island and flew to Tai Sui, and the process took about three years."
Neferi had a good memory, and said almost without thinking, "After you and the Dragon's Tooth Hook arrived at Tai Sui, there was a reaction on the Aozhu, and the gods showed us the projection above very kindly. ”
"You are motionless in the Aozhu."
"But we soon found out that the passage of time in Tai Sui is very slow, thousands of times slower than ours here, so we have to be very patient when observing the projection."
Neferi raised her hand, and a group of wraiths with different glows came over with a wooden cup filled with liquid.
She handed the cup to Chi Lian with both hands: "This is the tea soup brewed by Guangming City's new tea this year, try it." ”
Chi Lian took the teacup and took a sip of the drink called tea.
There is a strange fragrance in the mouth, then it turns into a surging bitterness, and then the bitterness fades between the lips and teeth, transforming into a wonderful sweetness.
"It was great to wake up with a cup of tea. How's it going, and what do you think it tastes like? ”
"It's delicious."
Chi Lian gave the highest rating in the simplest language.
Neferi smiled smugly, "It's something I've invented, it's going to reduce worry and resentment, and of course, it's delicious." ”
[In view of the general environment,
"Because of the discovery of tea, I have become a hero who has been empowered by the gods. My next step is to get the Legendary title and then see if I have a chance to become an Apostle......"
Chi Lian looked at the tea in the cup and couldn't help but sigh: "You are really tenacious." ”
"Thanks for the compliment."
"How did you find the tea?"
Speaking of this new highlight of her life, Neferi's eyebrows fluttered: "After the war, the remnants of the Ben cavalry gradually integrated into the local area, and they either became herdsmen, fishermen, and some became hunters, cobblers, and farmers. Because they are good at taking care of camel animals and have rich experience in breeding, they are of great help to the animal husbandry of the Red Thorn Tribe. ”
"When I was collecting the spirits, I saw that many people were complaining that the camel beasts had become very excited for some reason, and they would steal food, which was not the case in the cavalry. So I went to investigate, and found that camel beasts like to eat the leaves of a dwarf tree in the wild, and after eating them, they are energetic and not afraid of fatigue. ”
"That dwarf tree is the tea tree, and I made tea after repeated research and attempts."
"Nowadays, tea is the most important specialty of the whole island, and Shacheng buys a large amount of tea from us every year. Many of the buildings in the city, including the side hall outside the temple that houses the pearls, were bought for tea. ”
She whispered: "Slowly, tea became famous, and Guangming City was also considered by the Yao people to be the "hometown of tea". Many Shacheng Yao people relocated and settled here in order to get the latest and greatest tea for the tea trade. ”
Chi Lian looked at the teacup in his hand, and there were some strips of dark green leaves in the tea soup at the bottom of the cup.
He never thought that what changed the appearance of the island was actually a small leaf.
…
"These are things to try before you get back, and they're a bonus."
Neferi said: "I will take you to the city for a walk, and it has changed a lot in the past few decades. I'll keep talking as I go. ”
Following in her footsteps, Chilian strolls through the streets of the City of Light.
In the past, the city's architecture was basically thatched huts, with only a few high-end dwellings made of rubble and clay, and the labor that was usually available to well-to-do families.
Today, there are no thatched huts in sight in the city, and the square stone houses have become the main buildings of the city, as well as a number of wooden huts, which are usually two stories high. Neferi said that most of these wooden houses are shops, and the wooden structure is easier to renovate the interior and continue to expand the outward expansion.
The stargazing altar has also been further renovated, with stairs and guardrails piled up around the perimeter, and guarded by soldiers of the Red Thorns.
The guards were dressed in sackcloth and held spears with iron spears and square shields on their backs. They work in pairs to patrol around the stargazing altar, prohibiting idle people from approaching this sacred place.
Neferi said, "This place hasn't changed much, after all, it's your own spectacle." ”
Chi Lian could feel that the mysterious power of the stargazing altar was still there.
Standing here, Tai Sui's call became clearer in his mind.
"It seems a bit far, so I'll continue to talk about the changes over the years...... You have been slowed down thousands of times in Tai Sui, and a single action can last for months, and everyone was very patient at first. But a few years later, most people are only occasional, and ordinary people will continue to rely on labor to live. ”
The wind blows.
The large gold earrings on Neferi's earlobes swayed gently, her forehead hair was slightly blown apart, and her eyes seemed to be a little hazy and confused.
"In your fourth year away from Chau Island, you said your first words to the Dragon's Tooth Hook. It took me four months to listen to and record your words. ”
"You say you feel that your intellect is being disturbed, that it is weakening, that you can't stay long."
"Then in the fourth year," she said, "you said you felt the oracle. ”
"In the fifth year, you picked up a black glove on the ground."
"In the seventh year, you began digging up the place where the dust and rubble were piled up."
"In the eleventh year, you found King Ben's [Wang Ling Sword Talisman], and you told us through Ao Zhu that Tai Sui had a capsule in his body."
"After you finished talking about the connection between the Tai Sui capsule and the World Stone, the time has come to the eighteenth year."
Neferi knows this scene well: "In the twenty-third year, you used the python around the mountain to drill through the surface layer of those impurities, enter the capsule, and disappear into the projection. ”
"At that time, many people didn't say anything, but they suspected that something bad had happened to you. In the next 30 years, there was no shadow of you on the beads. ”
She looked at the sky: "Waiting too long, people's patience is limited, life is a short collection, people are short-sighted by nature." The Red Thorns are no exception. ”
"Use the side hall to store the beads, no longer let the clansmen watch at will, to avoid everyone sad and low. I sat in the side hall and continued to observe the projection on the beads. ”
"During this time, many of the older generation of the Red Thorns died of old age or disease, and the remaining Bency riders were completely integrated into the local area, regardless of each other...... In the eyes of the young Redthorn and the new generation of Ben Riders, you are more like a figure from ancient legends, a being as distant as a god. ”
…
"But Master Sleimod said you would come back."
Speaking of this, Neferi asked, "You are on Tai Sui's side, don't you feel that time is wrong?" ”
"I felt it, but I didn't expect the time to pass and the gap would be so big."
Chi Lian recalled.
In Tai Sui's body, he could feel a strange amount distorting himself, the fading and dullness of his wisdom was only an external manifestation, and other physiological aspects were also constantly affected and stressed.
However, at that time, he was focused on digging into Tai Sui's body and had no time to think about it.
Neferi's statement verified one of Chilian's inferences.
- Staying in Tai Sui's body, the movement of life will become sluggish, until eventually it will come to a complete stagnation and become a solidified dead thing.
This stagnation will deepen with the length of stay.
In Chi Lian's personal perception, his words to the dragon tooth hook, obtaining the oracle of Yaoshen, picking up the [Exorcism Gauntlet], and even digging up the surface of the capsule where impurities have accumulated are a series of coherent actions, all completed one after another in a short period of time.
But on the island where Aozhu is located, in the picture that Neferi saw, Chilian's movements became slower and slower, and the time became longer and longer.
It's because of the influence of Tai Sui's power.
"No wonder."
Neferi suddenly said, "When you reappeared at the Dragon's Tooth Hook, another thirty-six years had passed. ”
"When you and the Dragon's Tooth Hook flew up together, time suddenly sped up again, and then not long after, under the guidance of Lord Yaoshen, you appeared in the sky here like an extraterrestrial meteor. Lord Slimaud takes you back to the temple, and you wander in a coma for two years before you wake up. ”
"During this period, with the City of Light as the royal city, a kingdom called the Kingdom of the Sun has been established, and the kingdom has three cities with a total population of about 160,000 people. The kingdom's laws clearly state that the King of Light is the only king, and that he will serve as an archon in the form of a ghost, and will temporarily govern the country according to your orders......"
Chi Lian finally remembered: "Where is he?" ”
"The consul presided over the funeral in the cemetery outside the city, which is also one of the most important ceremonies in the Sun Kingdom today, through the joint burial of the [stork mayfly tank] to strengthen the guardian spirit, protect and continue the living."
"Mayfly Tank? Guardian Spirit? Chi Lian was confused.
"It's the tank you brought back."
Neferi explained, "It's an immortal wonder [Stork Mayfly Tank], and it's a very incredible treasure. Burying the bodies of the dead in them strengthens the Guardian Spirit, which protects everyone in the kingdom. ”
"It can be said that in the past, the wind and rain in the Kingdom of the Sun were smooth, and the people's labor and survival security continued to progress, all of which were inseparable from the solid foundation laid by you; Your courage and determination to go on an expedition to the heavens and challenge the mighty star god alone is a memory bond that countless people are proud of now; And this immortal wonder you brought back has made more people look forward to the future. ”
"So ......"
Neferi touched her chest with one hand and bowed to him: "Welcome, my king, your subjects have been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
Chi Lian raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sun still shines on the whole world.
Thank you, Lord Yaoshen, for your trust and forgiveness in me.
Tai Sui's whispers still echo in his ears, but the young king no longer hesitates.
