1.

The sun has not yet fully risen, and the Capusons have welcomed their first customer of the day. 『』【Latest chapter reading baoly】

Ai Xue hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly to the guest, and waited for instructions.

"Is there any happy event? Today's little Ai Xue is smiling very charmingly. Uncle, if I were 20 years younger, I might have become your suitor. As usual, the guests made fun of the cute little Ai Xue.

Ai Xue tilted her head, and her expression seemed to say: Really?

The guest also knew that Ai Xue couldn't answer her questions, but judging from Ai Xue's expression, she was really in a good mood.

"Wheat bread, a glass of milk. "The guest ordered this slightly luxurious breakfast. Perhaps the guests were infected by Ai Xue's sweet smile and decided to keep the day in a good mood, so start with a delicious breakfast.

Although the land of Shuanglin is not barren, it is not fertile. Both rye and wheat are cultivated, but rye is more cold-tolerant and can survive cold winters more easily than wheat. In the past, this guest ordered rye bread, but today he changed to wheat bread.

Is there really a change in yourself?

Ai Xue decided to give up thinking. Providing excellent service to our guests is the aim of the Capusons family. Ai Xue bowed slightly to the guests and went to the back kitchen to pick up the food.

After bringing the food to the table, Ai Xue found a place to sit down. At this moment, the owner of the tavern walked in from outside. There were beads of sweat on his face, and he could tell that he had just returned from morning exercise.

The boss's name is Capuson, and Ai Xue's evaluation of him can be summed up in one word, good person. If you have to find another word to describe the boss who is slightly blessed in front of you, it is a benefactor.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one ordered, Ai Xue used sign language to indicate what she wanted.

A sturdy rope.

Seeing this, Capuson left a "you wait" and went straight into the warehouse. When he came out, he saw that his body was dirty, and his face was still gray.

"I said Xiao Aixue, what do you think of this leather rope?"

Ai Xue nodded vigorously, looking very serious.

"That's good, I don't know what you're using it for, but it's sturdy and durable. ”

Capuson has always been responsive to Ai Xue's needs, and Ai Xue's efforts, he saw in his eyes and knew how difficult this child was.

Ai Xue happily accepted the gift and hurriedly thanked Capuson.

The day passed quickly, and Ai Xue took off her tavern uniform, changed into her own clothes, and ran home as fast as she could.

It was getting late, but Ai Xue didn't care. My brother has to work the night shift in the City Lord's Mansion and won't go home at night.

was so anxious, naturally he was heading towards Ling Yue.

2.

On the day he was separated from Ai Xue, Ling Yue was not idle. In addition to digesting what Ai Xue told him yesterday, he was also thinking about his future.

This is the Kailan Continent, a world where martial arts and magic coexist. In short, this place has nothing to do with the earth. The surrounding qiē was too strange to Ling Yue, and he didn't even know if this world was blessed by the Apple Heavenly Venerable Isaac Newton, and if Ling Yue's knowledge of science and engineering could come in handy.

Now it is certain that he has crossed by himself, and he has also turned into a pocket watch. The god of fate must have been squeezed by God when he closed the door, and inexplicably chose himself as the object of revenge. This is far from what Ling Yue knows from the novel, the other male protagonists of the family have crossed into the other world, not to mention the talent, God blocks and kills God, at least he is a normal person. It's not unlucky, for example, a certain otaku crossed, opened his eyes and saw that he was in a gorgeous house, surrounded by countless gold, silver and jewelry, and when he thought about it, he seemed to be an important minister around the emperor, with a lot of wealth and wealth. When he was proud, a eunuch suddenly sent a decree announcing that the otaku would enter the hall. The otaku asked in a low voice what was the matter, and the eunuch replied: "And my lord, the emperor has died." ”

Another example is that an otaku is always looked down upon and prays to the sky with hatred, wanting to have superpowers. After a flash of light, the otaku found himself standing in front of a large cemetery in the dark night, tall and handsome, holding a magic wand in his hand, and after a little thoughts, countless spells came to mind. I've really become a magician, cool!, just as I was smugly, a bespectacled, dark-haired boy with a scar on his forehead asking, "Where are we? Is this the final leg of the Triwizard Tournament?"

But whether it is a washer or a cup, there are traces to follow.

What the hell is it to turn into a pocket watch?

Fortunately, he was picked up by Ai Xue's brother, if the wind and sun, frost and rain, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be buried in the soil, and he will never be able to turn over. Think about it carefully, this is much more terrifying than just crossing over and hitting the street, okay!

But now that the matter has come to this, continuing to dwell on it will only add to the troubles.

For Ai Xue, Ling Yue already regarded her as her first friend in another world.

As the name suggests, the person gives the impression of a girl who is as quiet as snow. Ai Xue was not born deaf and dumb, but she had a serious illness when she was a child, and she was no longer able to make a sound. So she can understand what others are saying, but she can't answer in words.

Ai Xue, who has lived in a happy family since she was a child, did not regard this incident as her own misfortune. But two years ago, a sudden change made the brother and sister almost lose a qiē.

Ling Yue didn't ask much, he believed that if Ai Xue was willing, he would definitely tell him the reason.

What is the matter with my parents on Earth, are they still alive and well, and will I ever see them again?

Some questions that were never thought of before are now plaguing our protagonists. In the past, he didn't care about what he should do after graduating from college, but now it's different, he is living in a completely different identity, living in a completely strange world, if he doesn't do anything, can he only slowly usher in the end of himself?

Ling Yue, who was in a daze, heard the sound of the wooden door creaking.

I'm back to see what I've brought you. 】

A black leather rope appeared in front of Ling Yue's eyes, the material seemed to be a little rough, but the workmanship should be quite meticulous, and there was no pattern decoration. Ai Xue picked up the pocket watch, carefully threaded the leather rope through the small hole in it, and tried to put it around her neck. The leather rope is very long, and the extra part is enough for Ai Xue to tie a bow on the back of her neck. The pocket watch hung down to Ai Xue's chest.

I'm tired of seeing the sky and the ceiling of Zero, and finally regain my vision, albeit much shorter than before.

Ai Xue walked back and forth in the house a few times, the pocket watch hanging on her chest swayed from side to side with her light steps, and Ling Yue was a little dizzy.

However, it is better to be able to see the outside world "with your own eyes" than to stay here all the time. Ling Yue was determined to overcome this feeling of dizziness and went out with Ai Xue to "take a walk".

This is the outskirts of the Relic Forest, not too far from Ai Xue's house. Ai Xue often comes here to collect some mushrooms and wild vegetables, so it is a good trip. Blue moonlight shines through the trees and spreads onto the ground, adding to the tranquility of the scene.

[Now my brother goes to the city guard every day on duty, and he only comes back once every two days, and while earning living expenses, he is also learning swordsmanship with Brother Duren. In order to reduce the burden on my brother, I am also working hard in my own way. Although the time spent working at the Capusons was very fulfilling, it was inevitable that when I was alone like this, I would be lonely. Not only has my brother been coming home lately, but he always feels like he's hiding something from me. I felt like he was saving money in secret, so I'd just help her. Both Uncle Capuson and the guests liked me and were willing to tip me a little more. I saved the money in the hope that one day I could help my brother. Everyone thought I was a child, my brother too, and so did everyone in the tavern. But in fact, I'm not young, 14 years old, and I'm going to be 15 soon, but I was born a little later than my brother, and we're twins. 】

[......] Ling Yue was silent, and a qualified listener would not interrupt others at an inappropriate time.

[But he is now a soldier of the city guard, a qualified adult in the eyes of others, who will work outside for a living, and will carry this family because of responsibility. But no matter how hard I try, I'm still the weak girl in everyone's eyes. Because I couldn't speak, everyone sympathized with me and protected me. But I don't want to be a burden to everyone, especially my brother. Ai Xue's eyes were filled with tears.

[Actually, my brother wasn't like this before, it's all because of the incident two years ago...... My siblings and I have lived in this border town since we were born, and our parents love us very much, and our favorite thing is to listen to their stories, teach us to write, and be taken to the forest by our father, listen to the birds sing, catch bugs, and sometimes hit rabbits and other small animals, and then bring them back to roast and eat. The taste of my mother's cooking has always been so unique, and I still can't learn it......]

Ling Yue listened quietly to Ai Xue's narration, he had already foreseen that a heartwarming story like this would always have a sad ending.

【...... When I woke up that day, my brother and I didn't see our parents. When we saw the note on the table that said 'Don't go to us', we thought it was a surprise that Mom and Dad were going to give us, because tomorrow was my brother's birthday and I and they must have prepared a birthday present for us. We waited hungry all day, but we didn't wait, and my brother comforted me and told me that my parents would definitely come home on our birthday. The next day, my brother told me to stay at home and go to the forest to find my parents. I wanted to follow, too, but because of his words, I had to stay at home obediently, 'If Mom and Dad come back and can't see us, they will be very anxious', and after touching my head, they walked towards the forest......]

[I don't know how long it took, but I started to worry about my brother. I walked to the entrance of the forest by the light of the blue moon, and saw my brother. The fierce moon that had just risen took a terrifying picture of his brother's face, and his body was covered with wounds. I don't know where I got the strength or how I got my brother to move home. After bandaging her brother's wounds, her memory was interrupted......] Ai Xue wiped her tears with her sleeve.

[Later, we got help from Uncle Capuson, and finally we didn't have to go hungry.] But my brother sat at home all day and didn't say a word, and that was the first time I felt scared, and I cried and cried until three days later......]

"Don't cry, Ai Xue, it's not cute. Or is it the smile that suits you best. "My brother suddenly cheered up and stroked my head like a father, comforting me so much. It's a fact that my parents are missing, but we don't want to talk about it again. The elder brother, who almost died at the mouth of the beast, joined the city guard, and while growing stronger, he also became the pillar of the family. I worked at Uncle Capuson's to share some of the burden for my brother, and I wanted to make food that would taste like my mother, and I had to be strong. 】

[Living in the cottage left by our parents, using the furniture they once used, feeling their breath, and living like this, two years passed. As much as I missed them, no one could listen to me, and I think my brother was the same. I really want to go back to the old days and live that carefree life. But I'm not a child anymore, and reality doesn't allow me to be so willful......]

Ai Xue burst into tears, no matter what, she was only 14 years old, tears burst out of her eyes, as if she wanted to vent all the pressure she had accumulated in the past two years.

But Ai Xue couldn't cry, and that appearance was even more distressing.

Before you know it, the pink fierce moon has risen into the night sky, and its light mixed with the light of the faint blue Ning Yue pierces the night sky and sprinkles on the crystal teardrops. Tears fell in front of Ling Yue's eyes, as if they were dripping on the realm of time, causing ripples......

[Don't cry, Ai Xue, it's not cute. Or is it the smile that suits you best. Now, at least I'm by your side. 】

For a moment, Ling Yue seemed to feel that he had found the meaning of his existence here.

3.

As always, Ai Xue opened her misty sleepy eyes early.

[Good morning, zero.] Yesterday I seem to have heard a very credible statement. 】

[Zero? What is this? Are you calling me?] Ling Yue had a black line, and he always felt that he was cheated by this name.

Since we are friends, we should naturally be called by name. 】

[Okay, whatever you want. But I don't know Ai Xue's last name yet, which is not fair. Ling Yue protested.

"I don't have a surname. 】

Why?

[Isn't it common knowledge that commoners don't have surnames? Only nobles who have obtained fiefs can have surnames. 】

[Sounds like a high-end look.] 】

[No, I heard that the nobles of a hundred years ago had a lot of privileges and could dispose of the people in their own territory at will. Now that there were new laws, the nobles did not dare to be too harsh on the commoners. And the only nobles I have seen are the lord of the castle and his son, Lord Lawrence is a very kind man, although the prince of Kaos has a bad reputation, he has not done anything out of the ordinary. 】

[It seems that I still need to learn more about these common sense.] Ling Yue couldn't help but sigh.

[I'll take you out.] 】

[Hmm.] 】

Ai Xue hid the pocket watch close to her body, and from the outside, she could only see the leather rope hanging around her neck, and people would naturally treat it as an ordinary necklace. As soon as the day dawned, Ai Xue had already arrived at the Capusons and started the day's work.

Since Ling Yue was almost ignorant of the surrounding qiē, this tavern was the best place to increase his knowledge.

After Ling Yue came to this world, he had only been in contact with Ai Xue alone, and he communicated in a telepathic way. The current body (pocket watch) does not seem to be able to speak, but it is capable of receiving images and sounds, and its sense of sight and hearing is not much different from that of a human, and it has lost its sense of touch and movement in exchange for additional skills - telepathy and the ability to accurately know the current time course dù. It's a great place to test, and what can I do now? Ling Yue wanted to live in this strange world, not just survive. Now even she had to rely on Ai Xue to move, and if possible, Ling Yue hoped to be able to protect her with her own strength.

First of all, I will test my telepathic ability, and it just so happens that there are more and more people in the tavern.

Listen carefully, listen carefully -

"Capuson roast, a big draught beer!"

The sudden roar-like ordering sound startled Ling Yue. Ling Yuexin said, before this is put aside, I will not have to die tens of thousands of brain cells.

However, no matter how closely Ling Yue listened, he couldn't feel the inner voice of these guests.

Since you can't passively receive information, how about being proactive?

Ling Yue set the goal of sending S "radio waves" to the guest who had just scared him, thinking that if he could scare him, it would be revenge.

However, judging from the results, his revenge may be out of the question.

Well, it seems that telepathy is a skill that doesn't work for everyone, does it have to be Ai Xue, or is it what conditions must be met?

The ability to know the current time at all times feels of little use in the current world. People work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they don't need to go to work or class on time, at most, when they are cooking and cooking, they can remind Ai Xue when it is time to come out of the pot.

But fortunately, after becoming the way it is, I don't feel tired due to excessive exercise or lack of rest. Ling Yue had now mastered the knack of going into a dormant state at any time, just like the deep sleep he had as a human, and he wouldn't remember if he had any dreams when he woke up. You can also set a time for yourself to sleep, wake up as soon as it arrives, and come with the strongest alarm clock ever.

Before he knew it, a month had passed, and in this way, through the conversations that Tong Guò heard every day in the tavern, as well as the chats with Ai Xue, Ling Yue gradually gained a basic understanding of the continent.

Shuanglin City, where he is located, is a border city of the Liber Kingdom, and the reason why it is not called Biansai is because it is bordered by the Ruined Forest and the Fantasy Tree Sea to the west, and then to the west is the vast sea. The capital of the Liber Kingdom, Koles, is far on the border in the southeast, where it has the most powerful military force in the country, and once a war breaks out, it can immediately launch effective resistance to protect the people from the trampling of the enemy's iron hooves, just like the Ming Yongle Emperor "The Son of Heaven guards the country". But there are many such problems, but this is not within Ling Yue's consideration. It seems that the courage of the previous king of Liber is indeed commendable, which reminded Ling Yue of the words of the tyrant Lelouch: "If the king does not act first, how can the soldiers follow?" Because of this, the ordinary people of the kingdom, and even ordinary magicians, will regard the honor of being fortunate to join the royal army, and the people are willing to defend the one behind them with their lives. The unity of the army and the people and the collusion of the whole country made the surrounding countries dare not act rashly. To the east of the kingdom is the prosperous and populous Croatian Commonwealth, and to the southeast is the Ningyue Empire, which has the longest history on the continent, and the three great powers are bordering each other. The Kingdom of Liber was founded just over 300 years ago, while the Croatian Commonwealth has a much shorter, longer forgotten history, but there are still some ancient legends that have been passed down by troubadours everywhere. After the three-legged establishment, exchanges are indispensable for the peace and development of the mainland. The most vocal emperor, Jian yì used the language of the Ningyue Empire as the lingua franca of the mainland. Although there were always some border disputes at first, the continent has been quite peaceful for more than 100 years. The three major countries are all actively developing and secretly accumulating strength, and only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can they continue their glory.

By the way, where the three major countries border each other, there is a territory that belongs to the Holy See of Light. It does not belong to any country, and despite its small territory, no country dares to despise the Holy See. The clergy of the Holy See believe in the omnipresent God of Light. Their prayers can be transformed into magical powers like the spells of magicians, hence the name divine magic or light magic. The northern part of the continent is an extremely barren plain and snowy plain, where for generations it has lived with violent and ferocious orcs, who are generally inferior in intelligence to humans, but very strong. Whenever they were short of food, they came to the northern part of the kingdom and the federation in droves to plunder, so that some of the main forces of the two countries were also distributed around them.

"Hey, have you heard? In a few days, the Corrès Academy will start recruiting students, and it is said that the son of the city lord will also go to sign up. ”

Ling Yue was attracted by this topic, Ling Yue, the big name of the Colleurs Academy, had heard of it earlier, and he didn't know how many times he had heard Ai Xue mention it. For unknown things, Ling Yue was still very curious.

"That Kaos? It's good that he doesn't get into trouble everywhere. ”

"You don't know this, Baron Lawrence is the only seedling, and he will definitely inherit the position of city lord in the future. If you don't go outside to experience it, how to take on a big responsibility. However, the city lord was more thoughtful, not only arranging Duren as a guard, but also assigning Ike, the youngest and most promising member of the city guard, to accompany him. ”

What the hell is this?Why haven't you heard of it before?So Ai Xue—

As Ling Yue expected, Ai Xue stopped what she was doing, and her attention was also attracted.

"The orphan?"

"It's him, that kid has a good talent, and he is willing to work hard, it only took 2 years to reach the level of a level 2 warrior, he is a good seedling, if he enters the Colles Academy, maybe he can also make a name for himself. ”

"But I've heard that there are a lot of geniuses there, and the elimination system is also very strict. ”

"Then we don't need to worry. ”

"Haha, that's what I said, I just hope that our little young master won't last more than a year. ”

Just then, someone pushed the door open.

"Ai Xue, come home with me!"

What kind of development is this? Ling Yue couldn't keep up with the rhythm a little.

4.

"Listen to me, Ai Xue. ”

As soon as he stepped out of the tavern door, Ike pulled Ai Xue and walked briskly, looking very excited.

"We can go and take the entrance exam for Colles College. ”

Ai Xue's hand was caught by Ai Kra, and she couldn't express herself in sign language, but Ike could tell that her sister was obviously confused.

"The city lord had already promised Kaos to let him take the entrance exam for the Colleurs Academy, and he couldn't sit still for the past two days, so he planned to leave early. The lord of the castle could not resist him, so he had to set the date of his trip for tomorrow. Ike continued, "Lord Castle wants me to be able to enter the academy with Kaos as a companion. At first, I refused. ”

Hey, isn't that the advertising slogan of a certain king shampoo? Ling Yue complained silently.

"I can't leave my sister alone, the lord laughed at this, and said to me, 'Wouldn't it be nice to take your precious sister with you?' The city lord is very kind, and all our expenses for this journey have been paid by the city lord's mansion. The lord of the castle invited us to stay in the house for one night, and we will set off by car early tomorrow morning. Let's go back and pack our bags. ”

Ai Xue nodded vigorously.

For the brother and sister, happiness came too suddenly. According to Ike's original plan, I'm afraid he will need to save up for three or four years before he can make up enough money for the travel expenses from Shuanglin to the royal capital and the registration fee for the academy.

The two of them walked quite briskly, and it was not long before they returned to the familiar cabin.

Ai Xue ran to the chopping board and picked up the only relic she had left behind - an iron knife used to cut ingredients. Looking at this knife, Ai Xue seemed to see her mother wearing an apron and cutting vegetables in front of the board. Ike took the wooden knife with him, and the hilt had become smooth and rounded due to Ike's long-term use. The blade of the wooden knife is not carefully polished, and it looks very rough, but this wooden knife has a very good grip, and when Ike uses it to practice, he often has the illusion that he will be invincible with it. But this is just an illusion, this is a toy given to him by his father, if he uses it as a weapon, I am afraid that he will be knocked down by his opponent in one round. The two of them each took some clothes, tidied up the room, locked the door, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

After the two of them had left the distance for some time, they looked back again. After all, this place carries their memories for nearly 15 years, and this relationship is not so easy to let go.

"Let's go, Ai Xue. Ekra took his sister's hand, and in this way, the hut was gradually left behind by the brother and sister, and gradually disappeared.

The atmosphere was a little dreary, and Ike couldn't help but didn't look back, but didn't say anything more. Ai Xue was also as quiet as ever, which made Ling Yue a little depressed. It is often said that sadness is contagious, although Ling Yue's life experience has nothing in common with this brother and sister, but when he thinks that in this completely strange world, he is also alone, not even a person, let alone if he has the opportunity to return to Earth and see his relatives and friends again, he can't help but feel a little desolate.

God, do you dare to make me even more miserable!" Ling Yue let out a sad cry in his heart.

But maybe it's because of his optimistic personality, to say that it's hard to hear, it's heartless, Ling Yue's sadness has never exceeded 1 day. Before they knew it, the brother and sister had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Baron Lawrence was a shrewd man, and he did everything perfectly. He had already arranged for the people to put the brother and sister in order, and the carriage would depart in the early morning of the next day.

Although the lights went to bed early, Ike Aixue didn't fall asleep right away, and it was probably their first night out of the cabin.

"Ai Xue, why do you think our parents left us back then, there must be a reason why we don't know why they left in a hurry. I believe that in time, we will be able to find their traces, even if we travel all over the continent of Kailan, and we will become stronger for this. ”

Ike's voice is small, but it reveals a gritty that doesn't match his age.

Ai Xue didn't respond with her familiar sign language, just turned sideways so that Ike couldn't see her expression.

Ike didn't say anything more, just put the quilt over his head and tried to fall asleep quickly.
