II. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 46 By the River

With the help of craftsmen, both the construction of the city walls and the restoration of the camp were much faster.

The whole camp was full of sawing wood, the sound of nails being hammered. Experienced miners, escorted by soldiers, explored the surrounding mountains, and high scaffolding was erected to the northeast of the camp, not knowing what new things to build.

Lydia took the little girl to take a bath in the back mountain.

"Hey, are you really a traverser?" The little girl asked as she rinsed her body.

Lydia lay comfortably on a large rock in the water, letting the river wash over her scarred body: "You have to be polite, you can not call me Princess, at least call me 'Lydia'." ”

Girls always like to get together, and she was pleasantly surprised to have a time-traveler girl as her companion.

"My name is Rowling." The little girl glanced at her, "I see that you look exactly like the natives. ”

"You can only survive if you blend in with them." Lydia stretched her strong arms comfortably, although the long-term battle and tempering had trained her figure very well, but her thighs and arms were slightly regrettably thicker, "You haven't been here for long, haven't you?" ”

"In less than a year, as soon as I remembered something from the past, I was almost burned to death." Rowling scooped up a wooden basin of water and poured it down from her head, "I'm afraid I'm the worst traverser in the world." ”

Lydia looked at the scars of war and torture on her body, and felt that the title of "the worst traverser" should at least be reserved for herself.

Rowling suddenly asked, "Why are the people here chasing us?" ”

"You've got to 'thank' those seniors." Lydia smiled wryly, "Have you ever heard of the 'Blood Moon Ritual'?" ”

Rowling shook her head.

"That's a long story, since I have time, I'll start at the beginning." Lydia stroked her hair, "There are three kinds of people in this world. We are just ordinary human beings, no different from before the crossing; Some people have animal ears or horns, and they are called 'sub-humans', and the rest are 'demon people' who are full of soul energy in their blood. You should be clear about this, right? ”

Rowling frowned, "Is the dwarf a subhuman?" ”

Lydia didn't hesitate: "Of course." ”

Rowling sighed, "Well, then I'd better admit that I'm short." ”

Lydia continued, "The demons have always wanted to conquer this world, and they have been fighting against the Six Kingdoms for many years. And many people in the Six Kingdoms will have a very strange dream when they reach the age of sixteen, and then remember many memories of their past lives. These people are our 'traversers'. ”

Rowling nodded.

Lydia looked at the soft white clouds floating in the sky: "When I was a child, the traversers were all respectable people. They used their knowledge and power beyond this world to help the Six Kingdoms drive the demon people out of this continent little by little. It even fused science and soul art to develop a free-flying flying fortress, and all travelers admired this magical flying machine, and called it the seventh royal capital: Tiandu. ”

Rowling's eyes sparkled with excitement: "And such a magical world? ”

An imperceptible bitterness appeared at the corners of Lydia's mouth: "Yes, magical world. According to the ideals of the Travelers, the Celestial Capital is the core of their future kingdom, and there will be more flying machines around it to expand their territory. But that's when tragedy struck. ”

"What tragedy?" Rowling asked, a little nervously.

"The Demon King of the Demon Race has secretly made a deal with the leader of the Traverser. After the heavens gathered capable traversers from all over the world, they launched an evil ritual and forcibly injected the blood of the demon race into everyone's body. Lydia's eyes suddenly turned red, "That night, the whole sky was the color of blood, under the blood moon, some people were successfully transformed into demons, and the losers became brainless inferior demons. ”

Rowling looked at Lydia in shock, but didn't know what to say.

Tears suddenly fell from Lydia's face, "On that day, my favorite brother became the one I hated the most. ”

Rowling didn't know how to comfort her, so she took her hand and stroked it carefully.

Lydia wiped away her tears and continued, "Under the siege of the Six Kingdoms, Tiandu finally fell on the southern sea of the Ice and Snow Empire, becoming the current Demon Realm Island. Those transformed traversers also began to call themselves demons, and their leader was called the Demon Lord, who ruled the Demon Realm with the Demon King. ”

Lydia smiled bitterly, "The Six Kingdoms hate the betrayal of the traversers, and from now on declare that all traversers will be executed on the spot as long as their identities are verified. Since then, those of us who have not been transformed have been able to hide our identities and survive. ”

It's been a long time since I've talked about the sad past, and Lydia's accumulated emotions are rarely released. But after only a while, she picked up a handful of river water and splashed it on her face, washing away her tears and the sadness in front of her.

Rowling was shattered by this terrible past, and was silent for a long time before slowly accepting this unbelievable fact, "Fortunately, I have the Nail Master to protect me, if he hadn't dressed me as a dwarf, I'm afraid I'd have been doomed a long time ago." ”

"Oh? Isn't the Master of Steel Nails you pretending? Lydia asked.

"How could I have called such a strange name?" Rowling complained, "At the very least, I have to be called 'DingTalk' to be like a woman's name." The nail master had died a few years ago, and in return to the Craftsmen's Guild, I drew some drawings for them. ”

"So you used to be an engineer?"

Lydia suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she really wanted to marry an engineer, and she had heard that they had little trouble and didn't like to talk, but unfortunately her life was not controlled by her.

Rowling sighed, "It's just a drawing dog, I always suspect that I was forced to die by Party A's father." What did you do in your past life? ”

Lydia pointed to the sky, "Flight attendant, later housewife." ”

Rowling was surprised: "I heard the legend of the craftsmen that you were very powerful, and I thought you were a very powerful character in your previous life." ”

Lydia fetched a bath towel and brushed her back, "How can there be such a good thing, besides, the previous life is over, you have to adapt to this brave new world." ”

"Brave New World?"

Rowling scoffed at this statement, "The matter here is not the same as what I learned, and I don't understand soul art at all, everything is messy." ”

She pouted and complained, "I thought that after crossing over, I would be able to live an easy and prosperous life with the knowledge of modern technology, just like in the comics." Unexpectedly, the final ending became a drawing dog. ”

"At least there is no menstruation in this world." Lydia dried her hair, "I can't imagine how I survived more than ten years of menstrual cramps in my previous life. ”

Rowling gave her a blank look: "I'm so sorry, I didn't have such an experience. ”

Lydia wrapped up her towel and walked onto the riverbank, "That's your luck, remembering that your aunt's towel was sticky and wet on your ass, and it was really uncomfortable. If only I could use soul magic to control my aunt at that time. ”

Rowling walked up to the beach and began to get dressed, "yes, thankfully I didn't use that thing." ”

"That's because you're still ......young," Lydia laughed, but after a while she couldn't laugh anymore, "Wait, why are you so young, why can you be an engineer?"

Rowling glanced at her, "Didn't you realize that we only traveled through souls or memories?" ”

"But...... But......" Lydia felt a terrifying conclusion slowly emerging, "is it...... Don't you ......?"

Rowling put on her skirt casually, "I was a man in my previous life." ”

Lydia's scream pierces the sky!

A figure wrapped in a bath towel rolls on the river beach, shouting, "I can't get married......"
