On the Seven Towers

The three of them were walking in the forest, and the silvery-white moonlight shone through the leaves of the trees. Mottled marks streaked across the bodies of the three of them, as if they were wearing a piece of clothing that was constantly changing in silver and black.

Apart from Roger's soft words, there was only the crunch of feet on fallen leaves and dead branches.

Although the current situation was urgent, Xiao Chen strangely felt a sense of calm while listening to Roger telling his thoughts under the moonlight.

Roger said: "I know what your world is like. Compared with this place, it is like a divine realm that rewards those favored by gods. Well, according to you, it is a place like heaven."

Xiao Chen said: "No way, there are too many things to worry about. Not to mention that there are always wars every day, and there is never peace. It seems that as long as you are a human being, it is the same in any world."

Roger turned around and said, "But at least where you come from, most people can live, grow old, get sick and die normally, right?"

"This requirement is too low." Xiao Chen said.

Roger glanced at the elf sword in Xiao Chen's hand and said, "This is heaven to me."

Xiao Chen followed his gaze and looked at the sword in his hand. The silver reflection seemed to have a hint of red, which immediately reminded him of the soldier whose throat he cut off. Is this the "normal" life of people here?

"Your country has not had a war for several decades since it taught several surrounding countries a lesson last century, right?" Roger asked again.

"You even know this? They showed you the detailed information of that world?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise.

"Is it weird? They always talk about it when talking about war history in military schools. Do you think things in that world should be kept secret from us?" Evelin interjected and asked.

Xiao Chen said: "No, your Xiao Chen didn't tell me about this. I thought they would hide their origins because they were worried about their identity being exposed."

"This is not a good choice. You have so many people here, so many things, and all kinds of unheard-of technologies and products, all of which suddenly appeared on this continent. Anyone who is not a fool will suspect that you are from another world. Secretly You can't gain the trust of others," Evelin said.

Roger said: "There is no harm in saying it. Does it matter where you are from? The people of the Empire and the Kingdom are both born and raised on this continent, separated by a mountain range. Haven't they been fighting for hundreds of years? If we count the past Those countries and dynasties have been at war between the south and the north for thousands of years. So what if you come? Whether there will be a war with you depends on political ideas, interests and beliefs, not where you come from. "

"Yes." Xiao Chen had to admit this truth.

Roger said: "It is impossible for us to understand your thoughts and concepts and integrate with you without understanding you from the fundamentals, right? If we don't know your history, how can we know where your thoughts and concepts come from? No. Knowing your past, how do you know the experiences you have accumulated and the setbacks you have encountered?”

"They should gradually open up relevant information, right?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Well. As long as you reach a certain level in the system, you can see a lot of things accordingly. You have many books and materials on science, art, history or philosophy. For people like me or Evelin, they are all It's open. I've even watched a lot of movies, and by the way, my favorite book is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms," but I can't read the original version, and I've only watched the children's version."

Evelin said: "I like the poems of Li Bai and Tagore. Although I can't understand them all, I can feel the beauty. I don't know why, but the humans over there are better at creating than the humans here. There are many things that can be done Comparable to the works of our Elf Kingdom.”

Xiao Chen exchanged words with them, and unknowingly walked out of the forest. He suddenly felt his eyes light up. What appeared in front of him was a dam-like checkpoint, which exuded a milky white light in the night. Even though the smell of blood was floating in the wind, this level still gave Xiao Chen a shocking beauty on this killing night.

Even though he is a modern person and is used to seeing huge buildings, he still sighed in front of this pass: "This is Heimu Pass, it is indeed majestic."

"But it has changed hands." Roger said solemnly.

“I wonder how the others are doing.” Evelin said worriedly.

"It looks like they are retreating. If they fight to the end, it shouldn't be so peaceful now." Roger analyzed, "It's impossible for them not to be able to support the opening of Suero's teleportation array. If Suero's Master Gabriel can bring The troops are here, they should be fighting in the streets now, not the Imperial people cleaning the battlefield."

“I really don’t know how it could have turned out like this.” Evelin felt deeply regretful.

"There must be a spy or a traitor. If Heimuguan was directly defeated by this army, it would have belonged to the empire. Someone must have opened the city gate from the inside." Roger said.

The three of them stood in the shadow of two large trees to avoid being seen. Looking from a distance from their side, the door below the checkpoint was open. Whether it was closed or closed, there were many figures shaking. On the main road leading from Heimuguan to the main camp, there are constantly running horses or convoys going back and forth, delivering messages or transporting supplies.

"What are these people doing in the middle of the night?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Make preparations. Emperor Alfred must be mobilizing the army in the rear to guard the pass. Blackwood Pass has been a dream for the empire for hundreds of years. He will definitely send a large army to guard it and prevent it from falling into our hands again." Roger retreated back into the woods and said. "We have to leave here as soon as possible. I guess the army from the camp will enter Blackwood Pass tonight."

Evelyn said, "How do we go?"

Roger took out a contour map from his waist pocket. "According to our previous detection, the most reasonable route is to go over the mountain on the east side of Blackwood Pass. You can see there is a valley here, which should be much easier to walk, but there may be monsters in the deep mountains. We must be prepared for battle."

"Monsters? Are they powerful creatures like dragons that can spit fire or thunderbirds that discharge electricity?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Roger couldn't help but laugh: "No, you are most likely to encounter a wild boar that can breathe fire or a lizard that can discharge electricity. This is not the age of mythology."

"Alas, it turns out that even the extinction of animals in the two worlds is similar. Humans are still humans." Xiao Chen sighed.

Roger asked: "If you fly across this mountain, it will take half a day, but if you walk on the ground, even those of us who have mastered fighting spirit may need two days. Can you hold on?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Xiao Chen walked in the direction drawn on the map first.

Evelyn glanced at Roger and whispered: "Sure enough, he is still himself."
