Volume 1: The Belated Adventurer Chapter 1: Transcendental
In this vast and eternal continent, there are endless races and countless legends.
Humans, Orcs, Demons, Elves, Undead, Bloodline...... There are many ethnic groups, and the undercurrent is turbulent. Composed a song of blood and fire that became a king and a defeated man, and sang it day and night.
Legends, starting from the Village of Heroes.
......
In the middle of the day, in a large courtyard at the entrance of the village, a child of about six or seven years old was lying on a mat in the back room and snoring loudly.
The child rubbed his sleepy eyes, rolled over, snorted a little quieter, and muttered something in his mouth, as if he was still talking in his sleep.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the child's face, causing the child to snort twice in frustration.
Suddenly, as if in a dream, the child exclaimed in surprise and sat up instantly.
"Earth!"
The frightened look seemed to be imprinted on the child's face, and it could not be hidden for a long time.
"It's a dream from a previous life again......"
After a long time, the six- or seven-year-old child sighed and rubbed his temples in an old-fashioned manner, but this reaction was not like what a child of this age should do.
"I, Chu Fan, have been trapped in this body for six years!"
Young Chu Fan glanced out the window, and the dazzling sunlight shook him for a moment.
"Oh my God, today is Mr. Healy's magic theory class! Every time I have that kind of dream, I sleep until noon, it's really ......"
It didn't take long for Chu Fan to react, he was late!
He didn't bother to eat breakfast, and he jumped out like a bunny.
Chu Fan didn't have the heart to go to Aunt Shen's house to buy his favorite rainbow bun today, he walked on his short legs less than half a meter long, stepped lightly across the courtyard gate, and ran towards the school happily. The funny running along the way made everyone on the street laugh.
"When it was over, my father told me not to forget to go to class, or he would spank me. Isn't this the same treatment I was when I was a child on Earth!"
This six or seven-year-old child is named Chu Fan.
Chu Fan is famous.
His background is extremely extraordinary.
Chu Fan is not a person from this world.
He vaguely remembered that he was from a planet called Earth.
This memory has slowly appeared in his mind for as long as he can remember.
As time went on, the memory grew deeper.
Chu Fan was born in the Chu family, a big secret family in the Earth Celestial Empire, and he is a veritable Chu family!
Coincidentally, when Chu Fan was located in the world where the earth was located, he was also called Chu Fan.
As the heir of the secret family of the Celestial Empire, Chu Fan is not an ordinary gentleman.
On the contrary, Chu Fan is very diligent and his brain is extremely active, in addition to business, Chu Fan has some achievements in many fields such as history, geography, and astronomy.
At the age of eighteen, he was engaged to Hua Xi, the youngest daughter of the aristocratic Hua family in a neighboring country, and the family business was also prosperous.
However, fate is dramatic, and life is always more exciting than jokes.
On October 20, 2020, the United Nations Space Detection Station observed for the first time a mysterious celestial body with a radius of 500 kilometers resembling a giant asteroid entering the solar system.
A month later, the anomaly erupted, and the object was moving faster and at ten times the speed of sound toward the Earth, still unaffected by the gravitational pull of any celestial body.
Scientists predict that if the mysterious object does not change its direction, within 10 hours, the object will pass by the Earth or ...... Eventual impact on the Earth.
The United Nations sent rockets carrying high-yield nuclear weapons to space ahead of time to intercept asteroids.
After the explosion, the asteroid was unscathed, and the speed became even more terrifying.
It's like absorbing the energy of nuclear weapons!
For a time, humanity lost its spiritual backbone.
Despair, the mood of collapse spreads, the hidden dark side of human nature finally turns into violence and carnival, and the social order is chaotic.
What was the end, what happened after that, and was the Earth destroyed?
Chu Fan couldn't think of these.
When Chu Fan first remembered, he could only vaguely remember the outlines of some events that happened in his previous life, and when he told his father this, his father just scolded him not to talk nonsense.
Today, the details are becoming clearer.
Father began to remain silent about this, and solemnly demanded that Chu Fan not talk about these things with anyone.
Chu Fan had to admit that he had lived two lives.
And it's in two lives in different time and space.
This also led to the fact that although Chu Fan was at the age of a six- or seven-year-old child, he already had the mind of an adult.
Due to physical reasons, Chu Fan must not be overly mature, and his speech and behavior are no different from those of children.
Except for his father, no one could see the difference in Chu Fan's physical and mental age.
Chu Fan is extraordinary, not only in his life experience.
His talent is unrivaled in the village.
It sounds strange to others, it's just a small village, is it something to boast about as the number one talent in the whole village?
If it were another village, there was really no need to show off the talent of the number one in the village.
But in the Village of Heroes, the gold content of the first talent in the village is even one point higher than that of some sects in the empire.
The legendary ranger sword saint of "the sword pointing at the sky, the first person in eternity": Chu Cang, the birthplace is in the village of heroes.
The legendary god of the army who "one person is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open": Alpha Marshal. The birthplace is in the village of heroes.
The legendary founding emperor of the Liszt Empire: Liszt. The birthplace is in the village of heroes.
Legendary ......
Of course, these are just legends. For this continent, which is thousands of years behind the earth's electronic communication technology, many of them have become legends and are no longer available.
Only the Sword Saint Chu Cang, who still has a clear record in the Village of Heroes, can be sure that he has indeed walked out of the Village of Heroes.
It's also true that the people of the Village of Heroes are terrifyingly tough.
Aunt Wang, who sells vegetables, Uncle Li, who is bald, these middle-aged women or middle-aged men who don't know how to cultivate at all, are comparable to ordinary swordsmen in terms of physical strength alone.
As for the martial artist who teaches martial arts, and the magician Xili who teaches magic cultivation, he doesn't know how strong he is.
And there is a very interesting phenomenon, for people who don't know how to cultivate, the older they are, the stronger their cultivation becomes.
Some old men had already reached the level of strength of a sword master without even going through cultivation.
Among so many talented children in the village, Chu Fan is the best among them.
At the age of six or seven years old, when other children were still thinking about how to get started in the way of fighting qi or magic, Chu Fan's arms already had hundreds of catties of strength, and he already had the strength of an intermediate warrior after being reviewed by the martial arts master.
And Chu Fan is still an extremely rare demonic martial physique, although the secret method of demonic martial arts dual cultivation has long been lost now, but Chu Fan's attainments in magic are no worse than in martial arts.
There is even a faint tendency to overwhelm martial arts.
In the last year, Chu Fan had already become a magic apprentice recognized by Wizard Xili.
The fire-based first-order magic fireball technique has long been mastered, and he still has the heart to delve into the first-order magic of the other systems.
Chu Fan has an extremely rare talent for all kinds of magic!
If it weren't for the speed at which his magic was growing to hinder him, I'm afraid he would already have to study second-order magic.
Xi Li said a long time ago that if Chu Fan was lucky enough to obtain the secret method of Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation, his achievements would definitely be limitless, and even become another legend in the Village of Heroes!
But Chu Fan, the ambition is not here.
And at this time, inside the school.
"This Eternal Crown represents the pinnacle of magical prowess. ”
Above the school, an old man with a white beard shook his head and told the story to his students.
In his hand he holds an ornate scroll of a brilliant crown encrusted with countless precious stones.
"Its existence is inextricably linked to the legendary character of our Hero Village, Chu Cang. ”
"Kids, do you want to hear this story?"
The old man deliberately sold a pass, he liked to tease the feelings of these little children.
"Yes!" the crisp voice resounded through the sky.
"Teacher, I'm late!"
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
When Healey heard this, the corners of her wrinkled mouth couldn't help but rise, bringing up more folds on her face. The snow-white beard changed shape along with it.
"The Eternal Crown is the most powerful magical artifact on this continent, not to mention a saint-level powerhouse, even if a mortal has it, he can instantly grasp the terrifying power of moving mountains and reclamation. ”
"And this magic artifact was created by the legendary figure of the Heroes Village, the Ranger Sword Saint Chu Cang, and his wife made it herself!"
Xili deliberately ignored Chu Fan, leaving Chu Fan quietly embarrassed at the door alone. Tell your own story.
"This old man is not big, and his temper is not small. Chu Fan muttered in his mouth.
"Chu Fan, you stand at the door today, be a door god. By the way, hone your standing meditation skills as well. ”
The old man still didn't look at Chu Fan, and when he spoke, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes like a child.
As soon as Chu Fan heard this, he didn't know that his muttering voice was heard by this ancestor, and he immediately looked solemn and stood straight, like a straightened dog's tail grass, adjusting his breathing while trying to put himself into a meditative state.
Chu Fan was an ambitious man, and Xili once told him that if a person could do standing meditation, then his talent would be one in a million.
If he can meditate while doing other unrelated things, then his talent is at least one in a hundred thousand.
The denominator of these data is all magicians, and the entire Liszt Empire is only millions of magicians, which shows the difficulty of distraction meditation.
"Ranger Sword Saint Chu Cang, he has already perfected the realm in the martial arts, and he can't make any breakthroughs. So, he turned to the study of spiritual power, hoping to make a difference in magic. ”
"And this magic artifact Eternal Crown was created by Chu Cang's wife who spent more than a hundred years traveling all over the continent and uniting more than a dozen continent-level forging masters to create it as a gift. ”
Speaking of this, the old man sighed for a while as if he had a feeling, and then spoke again.
"This crown, just looking at it, makes you feel as if time has stood still. ”
"This is the famous Eternal Crown!"
As soon as the old man's palm flipped over, the painting was put into Xili's spatial ring, leaving only a group of children who seemed to understand and did not understand looked at him with different eyes.
"Teacher, do you know so much, have you seen the Eternal Crown with your own eyes?" Chu Fan asked just as the other children were thinking.
"Boy, didn't I tell you to meditate......?
Xili glanced at Chu Fan with his eyes, and was suddenly stunned.
Although Chu Fan spoke, his eyes were empty and profound, as if he had a huge magic power.
He has entered a meditative state!
"Maybe that's ...... Extraordinary?" muttered the old man.
