Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 22 Past Present and Future

Aug. 8, 27:6am.

The bright morning sun was still falling, and the purple pupils dotted with dim starlight showed traces of loneliness. The handsome young man raised his hand to slightly cover the sun and narrowed his eyes.

The scene of farewell in the playground last night flashed through my mind. Although it did not mean the end of everything, rejecting a girl who was reborn because of her... It was still quite uncomfortable.

"嘁." He grinned, and then the mobile phone that was put aside flew over and was taken by him in one hand.

Open the familiar interface of the communication person, stop your eyes on the "Miscellaneous Miss", then click on it, and enter: "My Miss, have you been to your remote area?"

This time, he decided not to be hypocritical, just talk when it's time to talk, there's nothing to lose face, and he was holding his breath because he wanted to save face... He felt that it was too much of a loss.

……

In a motorcade facing the dawn, the beautiful dragon girl fell asleep quietly with her head tilted. Her eyes had faint white marks, and the slightly rosy corners of her eyes seemed to be telling the cry of last night.

"Ding dong~"

The crisp reminder sounded, making her eyelids tremble slightly, and she gradually woke up from the sad and broken dream.

Looking at the desert gradually falling back on both sides, she was silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, you are awake." An immortal old man who was driving on the side greeted.

Although... there is an extremely strong contrast between Xianfeng Daogu and opening a modern vehicle, but this world is so magical.

"Well, good morning, Uncle Liu." Long Nv replied, light and calm, as if yesterday's frenzy and heart-breaking was just a false dream.

She then took out her mobile phone and looked at it. She thought it would be an elder in the family, but the next moment, the girl's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she stopped directly at the contact marked as "the person who will never be forgotten". superior.

"My eldest lady, have you come to your backcountry?"

Seeing this news, she suddenly burst into laughter. She laughed so much that her branches trembled, her shoulders shook, and she laughed as if the shadows in her heart had never existed.

Her noble appearance disappeared in an instant, and she returned to the relaxed and eccentric demeanor before.

"Idiot!" She scolded, then raised her phone with a smile on her face and responded, "Your eldest lady is still on the way, and now she's near Rongcheng. It's a good thing for the countrymen to enter the city!"

She suddenly understood that Xia Lan didn't want her to be immersed in sadness, but just wanted her and him to become real friends who were not bound by numb-like love.

"You are really shameless. Last night I worked so hard and refused me with all my heart, and today I greeted me like a nobody!"

She typed these words, but felt that something was missing. She turned to the old man beside her and asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know what words are used to scold men as very bad?"

"Scumbag." The old man responded without hesitation, but his face was startled when he reacted, feeling that he seemed to have taught her badly again.

"Hmm." Yue Lan nodded with satisfaction, then added the word "scumbag" at the end of the sentence and pressed send.

On the other side, Xia Lan, who was taking a shower, looked at the reply sent by the girl, nodded quite usefully, and replied with a chuckle: "Yes, yes, what you like is a damn scumbag, your eyes are also Normal."

"Woo..." Yue Lan looked at his reply and whimpered, but she didn't know how to reply, feeling that he was bullying herself, who was extremely lacking in social experience.

"How should I answer..." She handed the phone to the old man and asked in distress.

But the old man said: "Go and ask Li Hua, he is the best at writing advice to people. You may know how to reply after listening to his advice."

At this critical juncture in his life, he chose to throw the blame.

"Oh." Yue Lan nodded, and then sent a message to another person in the convoy.

Li Hua: Heaven will entrust me with great responsibility... it's over!
……

Xia Lan lay on the sofa and looked at the reply from the girl, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she imagined how she was troubled about how to answer herself.

The two chatted for about half an hour, reviewed yesterday's experience, and both commented on each other's actions rather resentfully, and scolded each other.

But they are all quite relaxed, and their hearts have been relieved.

Xia Lan was no longer worried about the girl's admiration for him, but instead was satisfied with having an extra friend.

And the girl is no longer full of sorrow because of this love, and turned this fiery love into the traces of sweetness buried in the bottom of her heart.

"His Royal Highness, we are going to the city." The old man reminded.

The girl who was wriggling happily on the seat immediately stopped and returned to her original dignified manner after sending the last message to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan put down the phone and sighed with emotion, feeling that the matter was finally over.

"If that's the case...it's time to start another plan." Xia Lan stretched out her hand and took a world map, thinking about it, and circled it a few times.

East Country, southern coast of Iberia, Longmen, Casimir...

"First, you have to look for clues. In this case, it is best to go to a place with many Agor people. According to the memory of the previous life, there are quite a lot of Agor people in the Middle East, and from the experience of Shuiyue, there should be sea monsters there. ...or the sea monster experiment."

His eyes swept across the borders of the East Country, and he already had a preliminary plan.

But before that, he still has quite important things to do.

……

An hour later, Longmen Central Library.

Xia Lan walked between the quaint bookshelves, looking at the library's exclusive navigation software on his mobile phone. The three-dimensional map above marked the types of books in each area, and he was heading towards the target location.

[Yan Guo Xin Fa], this is what he is looking for.

Before going to find his wife, he decided to find some occult power, which should be used to fight against the spiritual pollution of sea monsters.

If it's too late to output, it's really a shame.

If possible, he also intends to look for something about "Sui", the most powerful god of the Yan Kingdom that he knows, but there is no information about him on the Internet.

Longmen wanders around in the year of idle people, holding the fire of refining the world.

The decree of transcending time and space on the No.18 peak of Shangshu is held by Chaotiao Xiaoyao.

On the evening of self-isolation in the shabby house in the gray Qishan Mountain of Gouwu City, the holder is the transformation of the virtual and the real.

……

They may all become companions in the future, and Xia Lan intends to help them if she has the spare time.

Thinking in her heart, Xia Lan stopped in front of a rather remote bookshelf, looked at the markings on it and nodded, and then screened the books on it with the most subtle feelings of Originium energy.

"This feeling is quite special..." He pondered, and took out a book lying sideways from the top of the bookshelf.

If you don't climb up, you really won't be able to read this book.

"Well... ancient, worn out, with special mysterious power, very classic adventure books." He looked at the word "Visualization" on the cover and pondered, and then tried to open it.

A simple and complex rune lights up on the cover of the book, preventing him from moving.

"I'm super!" he called out, realizing that he had picked up the treasure.

Xia Lan looked at this rune carefully, and it didn't take long before she understood the difference between it and the spells of the Ceylon religion - the difference in spatial structure.

From the simplest spell node level, he has memorized most of the nodes in this spell, and the others also give him considerable familiarity, which should be the same reason.

"The solution should be... er..." Xia Lan looked at it for a while, then stretched out her finger and drew a symbol on the cover of the book that she couldn't understand, and the seal dissipated naturally.

This thing has a solution prompt on it, as long as anyone who has passed the first-order magician exam can find the pattern and follow the prompt to lift the seal.

When he opened the ancient book, it suddenly began to move automatically without wind, and it floated into the air, and the pages began to roll rapidly.

"I'm super! I'm super!! I'm super!!!" Xia Lan made three swear words, looking at the dark blue light it emitted with excitement.

"What to do, what's going on, should you stay away, should you touch, should you..."

His mind was a mess, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation, and because the dangerous instinct had never been triggered, he held back his footsteps and looked at it closely.

A female voice spoke a familiar Yanguo dialect (Suzhou dialect), and she was quite surprised: "There are still people who want to visualize such a thing in this year, shouldn't it have disappeared long ago?"

"But since you are destined, let's draw a copy for you."

Xia Lan heard the voice, and instantly realized the owner of the voice - Xi.

"What kind of visualization do you want?" she asked, her voice ethereal and clear, causing Xia Lan's chaotic thoughts to become blank.

There was a rootless flame in his heart.

"'Fire'? It's a good image, monotonous but eye-catching." Xi commented, then she stretched out her slender hand and placed a stroke in front of Xia Lan's eyes.

The dark blue light burst open, causing Xia Lan to feel dizzy.

When he came back to his senses, the book had returned to its original appearance and fell to the ground.

"Is this over?" He whispered, and a flame that seemed to be made of ink appeared very naturally in front of him. It burned quietly, giving him a very unique feeling, and he didn't know what to do. describe.

"I didn't want to go to a library to have something to do with the great painter Xi." He sighed, then waved his palm and put the book back in its place.

He glanced at his mobile phone and saw that the time had not changed much, so he continued to read the books on the bookshelf, mainly trying to find books related to [Sui].

Even if Xi this casually gave him a stroke, he could have such good fortune. He really couldn't imagine how outrageous she would be when she did her best.

Anyway, if he is not prepared, he will definitely be the one who will be beaten.

After probably flipping through the bookshelf for a while, Xia Lan opened a rather old-looking book "Record of Giant Beasts" with a chance of luck.

At first glance, he realized that this thing was equivalent to the Shanhaijing of the previous life.

"I didn't expect there to be..."

Xia Lan grinned at the picture above. The giant beast named Sui was [-]% similar to a dragon, but its overall shape was much thicker, and its body was more like a unicorn, not like Yan Kingdom. Dragons are so slender.

However, this does not explain the whereabouts of Sui Sui's end, but only describes the spectacular scene of the Emperor Yan's crusade at that time.

He found a place to sit down, and read all kinds of things in the whole book roughly, all kinds of huge alien beasts, mountain and river spirits, ghosts and ghosts in the mythology of the previous life have been described, but basically nothing Happy ending.

"Sure enough, the hearts of the non-my race must be different." Xia Lan smiled and closed the book, because [-]% of the giant beasts had already been slaughtered, and they were all killed by the emperor who founded the country and expanded the land.

Sui is considered fierce among giant beasts. Although it is said that because of arrogance, he deliberately divided his power and fell into a deep sleep, but the author's evaluation is that he fell asleep when the situation was not right, and left the mess to him. shards.

"The Sui Beast is revived, and a city's troops will surely kill it..." Xia Lan recalled Si Suitai's description in the plot, and shook her head slightly. It seemed that it was too far away to walk sideways in this world.

Xia Lan wandered around the library for a long time, and even forgot to eat lunch. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that she was so hungry that she left this treasure house of knowledge.

……

He came to the street outside the library. Although the weather was hot, it was still difficult to conceal the prosperity of this world. There were still people coming and going on the street.

"What would you like to eat?" He thought about it and walked towards a snack shop, grabbed something to eat, and prepared to go back to the library to check the materials later.

However, just as he was eating leisurely, a person he had wanted to see for a long time came in and sat in front of him.

"Hello." Xia Lan greeted calmly, guessing the reason for Nian's visit this time.

One: She should have seen some peculiarities in herself.

Second: She was aware of her interaction with Xi just now.

"..." Nian stared at the seemingly harmless man for a few seconds before asking, "Where are you from?"

Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, her serious look made his heart tighten, and he realized that something was wrong.

"Uh... I'm still exploring what happened to me." He still chose a vague but honest answer.

Nian showed such an expression as expected, and then he relaxed again, and sighed bitterly: "It seems that you were also thrown into the world by some irresponsible old guy..."

Xia Lan nodded with feeling, and couldn't help but complained: "I was thrown into this world inexplicably, but I don't know what I want to do, and I don't know what power I have..."

"Everything has to be explored by yourself, and the road is full of difficulties and obstacles. This is too fatal." He sighed and said the most annoying thing in his heart.

Xia Lan paused and asked again: "By the way, this lady, when I was exploring the library before, I saw something that seemed to come from the same source as you... do you understand?"

Nian nodded and said frankly: "This is the reason why I came to you this time."

"That one is my sister, but she's just a house girl painter. Her nature is not bad. You can rest assured to use the thing she gave you."

Seeing that she seemed to have finished speaking, Xia Lan asked uncertainly, "That's it?"

"Yeah." Nian nodded and explained helplessly: "Isn't this because you think that thing is very dangerous, forcibly destroy it and set us as a hostile target."

She lowered her head and sighed: "After all, our power... is quite dangerous in the eyes of other people, and it must be restricted, otherwise it will cause trouble."

Seeing Nian's sad look, Xia Lan couldn't help but grinned, not expecting that she would have such a side.

"Okay, okay, that's it." She waved her hand, then got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xia Lan stopped her.

"Miss Nian, if I'm not there when you go to Miss Xi in a few years, then please thank her on my behalf."

Listening to Xia Lan's huge amount of information, Nian suddenly turned back to look at him, only to see him burying his head in the food on the plate, as if he didn't want to talk to her again.

"Okay." She replied with some difficulty, her heart was full of long-lost shock and suspicion.

When Xia Lan saw her leave, she finally raised her head and let out a sigh of relief.

He wasn't sure whether Nianhui would force him directly, wanting to dig out everything he knew in his mind.

Now it seems... the riddles that I tell are still somewhat useful.

"The Riddler seems pretty cool?" He laughed, then continued to concentrate on his meal.

……

In the evening, Xia Lan returned home with a box, opened the three Originium boxes inside, and then reached out to bring the remaining two from last time.

"This time may be the last time... Maybe you will be able to touch me, the end of the world." He said, the Originium on the table flew up, and a strong light burst out in an instant.

The five small suns were fleeting, and he soon felt the sinking of consciousness.

[Correction rate: 94.8% (100%), the upper limit of conscious body load is calculated to be 99.5%]

[The first-stage goal of the traveler is completed, and the second-stage command will be activated when the keyword is triggered by the consciousness]
