Chapter 436: The Old Woman in the Col
Just when Zhan Jingyi and Miss Liu met through eye contact in the conference room, severely frustrating her sharp spirit, in the far north far away from Heiwang City, surrounded by majestic mountains, a deep mountain col quietly existed.
The scenery in the col is like a finely carved landscape painting, full of natural wildness and poetry, and on all sides are tall peaks, these verdant peaks are picturesque, and people feel a deep and distant tranquility.
In the middle of this idyllic col sits a three-storey old wooden building, made of an unknown but seemingly valuable piece of wood, each of which looks ordinary but is worth a thousand dollars.
At this time, if someone who knows how to see it, they will exclaim that this is not purple gold eucalyptus?
You must know that this kind of purple gold eucalyptus wood is worth thousands of gold if one person is long with a thick arm, and when you look at this seemingly ordinary old wooden building, you don't know how much it is worth.
The windows of the wooden building are old-style lattice windows, each of which seems to tell an ancient story, despite the baptism of wind, frost, rain and snow, but the wooden building still stands there steadily, showing its original style.
Its wooden structure makes people feel a simple beauty, which comes from and transcends nature, and in the sun, the shadow of the wooden building is stretched out and falls on a green meadow, like a beautiful silhouette painting.
The scenery in the col is infinitely beautiful, the air here is fresh and pleasant, full of the original breath of nature, standing here, you can feel the power and charm of nature, and you can feel the unique charm exuded by the wooden building.
At this moment, in the open space in front of the wooden house
, an oval-shaped hole suddenly appeared, surrounded by a silver halo, as if the brightest stars in the sky were twinkling.
Inside the cave was a pitch-black void, deep and mysterious, as if it could swallow everything, and the next moment, a strong light shot out from this hole, illuminating everything around it.
After the light disappeared, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in the open space outside the wooden building, his body was slightly fat, and he was dressed in a mage uniform, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.
His face was well-lined, and although the years had carved deep wrinkles on his forehead, it did not diminish his majesty in the slightest, and his mage robe, a wide robe, may have been a little old, but still as straight as new.
The dark fabric is embroidered with complex geometric patterns, which are both solemn and mysterious, and the neckline of the dress is decorated with a gemstone that shimmers with a faint purple light, adding a touch of mystery.
The chubby old man's hair and beard were all white, like an ancient forest frozen in snow, full of the heaviness of time, and his eyes were deep and bright, like stars twinkling in the cold night.
His wrinkles are deeply engraved on his face, like a landscape painting that has survived wind and rain but is still tenacious, although he looks not young, his steps are slow but firm, like an old pine tree in winter, although the years have invaded, but still stand upright.
Standing in front of the small wooden building, the chubby old man took a deep breath, then came to the wooden door, did not knock on the door, and directly pushed the door into the small wooden building.
……
"Crunch" "Crunch" ......
With the sound of an old staircase, the wooden door of a room on the third floor
Pushed away with a "squeak".
"My God, junior sister, do you have to live in such an old building? Every time I walk this staircase, I always feel like I'm going to fall down in the next second. The chubby old man with white hair and beard and a mage suit stepped in and said complainingly.
In the room, an old woman with elegant posture and silver hair, with kind eyebrows, even though her face was full of wrinkles, she was no longer young and beautiful, but she had an elegant and tranquil temperament, holding a tea cup in both hands, staring at a painting on the wall, as if she was stunned.
In the painting is a girl in a pink dress, about 20 years old, the girl's skin is as white as snow, like a fairy descending to earth, her eyes are pure like water, her long hair seems to be blown by the wind, and a few strands of hair fly mischievously in front, without any decoration on her head, just a light blue ribbon, which binds the green silk.
When the old man approached, he saw the appearance of the old woman, sighed, and said, "Senior sister, do you think of Aya again?" ”
"yes, how can you not want to? It's been so many years, and I don't know where she went with my grandson and granddaughter? A faint voice came.
The old man sat down on a chair in the room, poured a cup of tea from a teapot on the table, and drank it in one go.
The old woman glanced at the old man, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "This is a golden plum with a thousand gold and a tael, do you think it is a big bowl of tea that you usually drink?" Can you stop tyrannical things? ”
The old man laughed, patted his stomach, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, what else can I be polite to you, you also know that I am a poor magician, how can you be rich." ”
The old woman looked at the old man,
smiled and scolded: "Don't cry poor with me, you will be poor as the president of the Magician Association, say, what are you looking for me?" If it's okay, please go back. ”
Talking about this, the old man's face turned straight, looked at the old woman and said, "Senior sister, I may know where Aya and the others have gone!" ”
With a "bang", the tea cup in the old woman's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
The old woman didn't care about the tea cup she cherished so much, and walked quickly to the old man, with a nervous look on her face, and said, "What did you find?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly."
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up."
The old man's face was a little red when he was choked by the old woman's words, but he also knew how important Aya's matter was to the old woman, and said: "Actually, it's not that I found out anything, but someone took the initiative to come to the door, yesterday evening, a mysterious person came to the association and asked to see the person in charge. ”
"I was curious, so I met him, he said that he is from the Crescent Federation, you know, it is a federal country composed of hundreds of city-states, they are also a human race, and technology is more advanced than ours, but there is no magic energy in that world, but there is a very strange energy, which has created a very small number of human mutations, they are called mutants."
"He came to me and said that many years ago, there was an extradimensional world advent event in the Crescent Federation, and a border town descended into the mountains northwest of the Crescent Federation with the merging of the two worlds."
Speaking of this, the old man stared at the old woman's eyes, and said word by word: "After the arrival of the town, a total of 123 people were stranded in the Crescent Federation, and I suspect that the town is the hiding place of Aya, that's it."
It means that Aya and your grandson and granddaughter are all in the Crescent Federation. ”
With a "click", one of the seat handles held by the old woman's right hand was snapped.
"What about people?" In the next second, the old woman grabbed the old man's collar with one hand, and the green tendons on her hands were revealed, and you could see how anxious she was.
The old man held the old woman's wrist with one hand, for fear that the old woman would be in a hurry and break her neck.
"What the man said was so bizarre, I didn't believe it, I wanted to talk more, but he said that he would come back later, I had made an appointment, he would come back this morning, we talked in detail, but he was missing...... The man I sent to follow him disappeared with him, and I waited a day and didn't see him again. The old man said dejectedly.
"However, I have already arranged for someone to contact the contact person on the Crescent Federation's side, and I believe that the information will be fed back soon."
Hearing this, the old woman's face was like ashes, and she didn't say a word, and for a while, the room was silent.
It took a long time for the old woman to breathe a sigh of relief, and the solemn atmosphere in the air slowly subsided.
The old woman turned her head to look at the old man and said angrily, "What are you still doing here?" Are you so idle? ”
"How can I ......?"
The old man hurriedly said: "Recently, something happened in Heiwang City, it is suspected that some monsters have been released from the land of ice glass, I am not going to go to Heiwang City to deal with the follow-up matters, I want to come to you here to talk to you about that matter first." ”
"Okay, I got it...... Let's go! The old woman said angrily.
The old man nodded, turned around and was about to walk towards the door, when an old woman's voice came from behind him: "You take this, okay."
Take good care of yourself. ”
Then, the old man felt a strong wind hitting his back, and the old man didn't turn back, just threw his robe back, and received a porcelain bottle flying from behind him.
The old man touched his hand in the robe, and said with great joy: "Thank you, junior sister, this Longwang grass liquid is a good thing." ”
"Let's go......"
The old woman ignored the old man, turned her head to look at the painting hanging on the wall, and there was no movement.
The old man stood at the doorway and looked at the old woman, sighed in a low voice, turned and opened the wooden door and walked out down the stairs.
"Everyone, please vote, collect, and praise! Thank you!"
